On this day, it was the day when the Cloud Saint Sect recruited new disciples in Fancheng, and early, there were many people in the Fancheng City Lord's Mansion. It's just that the people who can come here are also some well-known figures in Fancheng, and ordinary people are not qualified to come in.

The mansion of the city lord's mansion is very large, with a length and width of dozens of zhang away. The courtyard was surrounded by characters from various mansions in Fancheng, and to the east was where Fan Tengfei, the lord of Fancheng, was. Dressed in a satin robe, he sat upright in a chair, his right hand brushing his short beard from time to time, and the crowd would come to greet him.

Beside Fan Tengfei, there was also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, who was also dressed in silk and holding a folding fan in his hand, smiling at the people who came to the courtyard. Originally, this image should have been the appearance of a handsome boy, but his facial features were patched together, and the smile at the moment gave people a stupid feeling.

But even so, the people who came would still greet the young man one after another, because he was also surnamed Fan. He is Fan Tengfei's only son, Fan Li.

On the south side of the courtyard sat Xu Tianrong and Xu Bing and Lin'er who followed, and at this moment they were also sitting quietly, waiting for the start of the recruitment of the Cloud Holy Sect.

On the west side of the courtyard, there were still a few seats, and after a while, a middle-aged man entered, followed by a teenager and a young girl.

The middle-aged man first glanced around, then came to Fan Tengfei with a smile, hugged his fists and bowed, "Zheng Mou has some private matters that have been delayed for a while, and he is only a little late, and I hope the city lord will understand." As he spoke, the boy and girl behind him also bowed to Fan Tengfei. But obviously, it can be seen from his expression that the man surnamed Zheng did not apologize in the slightest for this matter, nor did he have a trace of timidity.

When Fan Tengfei heard this, he didn't mean to blame at all, he actually got up and walked out, personally held up the hands of the man surnamed Zheng, and said with a smile, "Brother Zheng, it's not too late to come at this time, it's not too late." Now that the Cloud Saint Sect Immortal has not yet arrived, you and I are waiting together." After saying this, he raised his hand and invited him to sit down in the west.

The group came to the seat, and before they sat down, the man surnamed Zheng first looked at Xu Tianrong and the others, also smiled at Xu Tianrong, and hugged his fist, and then slowly sat down in the seat.

Xu Tianrong's face was calm, he just glanced at the other party lightly, and then withdrew his gaze.

Xu Bing knew the identity of the man, and he also understood why Xu Tianrong had such an attitude towards him. That man was none other than Zheng Linhai, the sect leader of the Spirit Sect.

Although they are both sub-sect masters of the Thorn Spirit Sect, the Thorn Sect and the Spirit Sect have almost always been well water and river water. There is even some friction from time to time, but these are all in the dark, so no one pierces them on the bright side.

The girl next to Zheng Linhai, Xu Bing also recognized, it was Zheng Linhai's daughter, named Zheng Shuyan, and the young man standing with her, Xu Bing had never seen it.

In addition to these three, there are also some people sitting on the north side of the courtyard. It's just that the people sitting here are relatively messy, and they are not members of a family.

These people also have some face in Fancheng, and they have some dealings with the city lord of Fancheng, but compared with the Xu family and the Zheng family, it is too much worse.

When everyone was done, the three of them walked in from the hall door.

At the head was a man who looked to be in his thirties, he was wearing a blue robe, his face was calm, and at a glance, it gave people a very depressed feeling.

Behind him, there were two young men, one of whom Xu Bing recognized as Song Chen, who had broken into the Nanshan Cottage with him at night before.

As soon as Song Chen came in, he saw Xu Bing in the south direction at a glance, Xu Bing also saw him, the two nodded to each other, and they didn't say anything at all.

Beside Song Chen, there was also a young man, who was the same as Song Chen, holding a long sword in his hand, and holding his hands in front of his chest. After entering the courtyard, he first glanced around, but quickly withdrew his gaze, and his eyes showed obvious disdain.

After the three of them came in, they stayed for a short time, then turned around and walked towards the city lord Fan Tengfei. Fan Tengfei hurriedly got up, walked closer, bowed down and made a gesture of please, out of the way, and the three of them sat on a few seats next to him.

After a few people were seated, Fan Tengfei took a seat, and immediately ordered someone to offer tea to everyone, and then he looked at the people of the Cloud Holy Sect, and did not speak, waiting for the other party's instructions.

The man at the head didn't pay attention to Fan Tengfei, stood up in the eyes of everyone, and said in a loud voice, "The Cloud Holy Sect recruits disciples once every ten years, and this time the matter will be presided over by Zaixia." After another pause, he glanced at some of the teenagers present, and then continued, "This recruitment, there is no limit to the number of disciples, as long as you have a spiritual root, my Cloud Holy Sect can accept it."

When everyone present heard this, their hearts were full of joy, this Cloud Holy Sect has no limit on recruiting disciples, as long as they have spiritual roots, this undoubtedly increases the hope of their heirs entering the Immortal Gate.

But their joy doesn't last long, because not everyone has a spiritual root, and even if they do, if they have too few spiritual roots, they can't practice, and that's the reality.

When everyone was rejoicing, the immortal spoke again at this moment, "In the center of this courtyard, there is a pre-spirit stone, put your palm on it during the test, if you have a spirit root, the pre-spirit stone will emit light." He seemed to see everyone's joy, and there was a faint mockery on his face, and then said......

The spiritual root is the certificate to enter the path of cultivation, and only those who have the spiritual root have the qualification to practice, but in the same way, the spiritual root also has advantages and disadvantages. In the cultivation realm, there are generally five kinds of spiritual roots, which correspond to the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the five elements. However, there are always some special cases in everything, the same is true of the spiritual root, in addition to the five elements spiritual root, there will be some special spiritual roots, but if the five elements spiritual roots are rare, then this special spiritual root can only be said to be obtained by fate.

According to its advantages and disadvantages, the spiritual root can be divided into four products of heaven and earth, the yellow product is the secondary, and the heavenly product is the strongest, and above this, there is also the spiritual root of the divine product, but the spiritual root of the divine product is rare to see in ten thousand years. And you, as long as you reach the Huangpin Spirit Root in this test, you can enter my Cloud Saint Sect and become a real monk.

Go to the courtyard, put your hand on the pre-spirit stone, a color of light is yellow, and so on, the test will start now.

After saying that, he didn't pay any attention to it, sat down directly, and drank tea without hesitation.

Originally, I thought that this immortal would order someone to go up, but who knew that he would ignore it after announcing the rules, but now everyone around them was discussing, but no one dared to go up to test first.

After talking for a while, no one still wants to be the first bird. Xu Bing's face was calm, although he had never seen an immortal, but he was not the slightest fear at this time, and he did not choose to go up to test it first at this moment, but his personality was dictated, no matter what he did, he would put stability first.

After hesitating for a while, Zheng Linhai's daughter suddenly stood up, bowed slightly to her father, and said, "Dad, my daughter is willing to try it as the first person."

When the words landed, the entire courtyard suddenly fell silent, and everyone focused their eyes on Zheng Shuyan, waiting to see what the results would be when she went to test.

When Zheng Linhai heard this, he smiled with satisfaction at first, but did not speak, but only nodded lightly to his daughter.

Zheng Shuyan got his father's consent, and turned around to bow to the immortals of the Cloud Saint Sect, and then walked towards the pre-spirit stone in the center of the courtyard.

This journey is very short, but it is also extremely long, for Zheng Shuyan, and for everyone who is watching.
