Chapter 3: Discovery
The person he saw was a handsome boy dressed in a fine costume, who was only seven or eight years old, but between his eyebrows was not as worried or nervous as the other children, but revealed a faint confidence. Behind him, stood two black-clothed servants, judging by their high bulging temples and fierce presence, they must be two worldly masters.
This was the first feeling he gave Zhang Yuanhao. According to his mutated spiritual sense, there was a blue-green seed phantom floating behind this person, much larger than their gray-black heads, and the veins of the roots were clearer.
"What is this to the bottom of the seed?" Zhang Yuanhao was puzzled, so he could only continue to investigate.
Soon, Zhang Yuanhao completed the investigation. There were 380 children in total, and three of them had turquoise seeds behind them, while the rest were gray or even black. These three people were the first to be discovered, a young man in brocade clothes, a mountain child looking around, dressed in animal skin, and a pretty little girl.
"I don't know what kind of seed the sect master and the elders are!" As soon as Zhang Yuanhao thought of this, he immediately dispelled his thoughts, he didn't dare to use his spiritual sense to probe the powerhouses of the foundation building realm, which was a big disrespect to them.
"Silence!"
Seeing that the Dharma Protector and the disciples of the Guanli were basically there, Sun Fei cleared his throat, and his deep spiritual power wrapped in a deep voice spread in all directions. The hustle and bustle of the crowd immediately fell silent.
Sun Fei, as a foundation building monk and the head of a faction, naturally has majesty, but in the eyes of those children who have not cultivated, the majesty is even greater, and they suddenly dare not squeak.
"Today is the five-year selection competition of my Lingguang Sect!" Sun Fei was angry and sank into the dantian, and his voice spread in all directions, "There are a total of three hundred and eighty children present to participate in the competition, but my Lingguang Sect only recruits a hundred disciples. ”
There was an uproar on the field again, and several children cried directly, and were directly taken away by the disciples of the Lingguang Sect who maintained order on the spot, and everyone immediately quieted down and did not dare to move.
Sun Fei said unhurriedly: "The selection score is divided into two stages, which are the spiritual root test and the perseverance test. According to the results of your tests, the Elder Protector of this sect will evaluate the four levels of A, B, C, D, and each level is divided into upper, middle, and lower, that is, 12 grades. This faction will give priority to those with excellent spiritual roots, and then admit them according to the total score. ”
Zhang Yuanhao shook his head, in the past, every year, Sun Fei used to say this, but in fact, the Lingguang Sect only values disciples with spiritual roots, so the spiritual root test is the key, and perseverance is just a reference.
After listening to Sun Fei's words, many children are already eager to try. With Sun Fei's wave of his sleeves, the three elders of the Foundation Building Realm and himself fell from the sky, standing in four directions, and the children lined up in an orderly manner under the organization of several disciples of the fourth level of Qi cultivation, waiting for the test.
As soon as Sun Fei beckoned, a little boy with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain came to him under the guidance of a Qi cultivation disciple.
The little boy was a little nervous, but he still stretched out a hand in front of Sun Fei at the behest of the Lingguang Sect disciple.
Sun Fei picked up a spell expressionlessly, and a wisp of cyan wind blade wrapped around his fingertips, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the little boy's palm was cut into a narrow bloody hole, and bright red blood trickled out.
As soon as I slapped the storage bag, a transparent bead the size of a baby's fist floated out leisurely. Sun Fei placed the bead in the little boy's outstretched palm and let him hold it.
This is a spirit measuring bead, a low-level magic weapon, which can roughly measure a person's spiritual root.
The blood gradually soaked in the transparent beads, Sun Fei saw that the red inside the beads was getting thicker and thicker, his fingers trembled, and a trace of pure spiritual power ejected. As soon as Fang came into contact with the beads, he stirred up a burst of dazzling brilliance.
Under the gaze of everyone, the brilliance faded, and the beads irrigated with blood flashed with two faint sheens, one yellow and one blue.
"Earth and water are two pseudo-spiritual roots, and the qualifications are under C, next!" Sun Fei said lightly.
The little boy stood in confusion, as if he knew what this meant, but he was quickly torn apart by one of the Lingguang Sect disciples, and another continued to test it.
Zhang Yuanhao shook his head, although the pseudo-spiritual root also carried the word spiritual root, but in fact, the qualifications were extremely poor, and it was a little better than mortals without spiritual roots, and there was basically no possibility of breaking through the foundation building realm. Generally speaking, only low-grade spiritual roots or even middle-grade spiritual roots have a chance to enter the Lingguang Sect. As for the top-grade spiritual root and the top-grade spiritual root, there has not been one in the past few decades, and it is said that only one person in the entire Lingguang Sect has a high-grade spiritual root, and he is the disciple of the old master, that is, the senior sister of the current head Sun Fei.
After about a cup of tea, the four foundation building masters have already completed the investigation of the children who participated in the selection this year. Excluding the original three people who were eliminated due to crying, the rest have a total of seven middle-grade spiritual roots, sixty-eight lower-grade spiritual roots, and the rest are all pseudo-spiritual roots or those without spiritual roots. It is worth mentioning that one of them has both a medium-grade golden spirit root and a low-grade earth spirit root, and he is the brocade-clothed boy that Zhang Yuanhao paid attention to.
To Zhang Yuanhao's surprise, among the children with cyan seed phantoms behind him, the brocade-clothed boy and the little girl were medium-grade spiritual roots, and the mountain and wild children were just low-grade fire spiritual roots.
"It seems that the color of the seed phantom does not exactly represent its qualifications, but it is also related!"
Zhang Yuanhao's eyes rolled, and he was thoughtful.
At this moment, the three Zhuji elders used the Floating Cloud Technique to support more than 300 people and flew away from Lingfu Mountain. The place they were going to was the site of the second test of perseverance - Ask Dao Peak.
Wendao Peak is located in the Jiuren Mountain next to Lingfu Mountain, is a side peak of Jiuren Mountain, only less than 100 zhang high, that is, about 300 meters, because the mountain is steep and named. The perseverance test of each year's selection competition is held here.
Sun Fei pinched out a magic trick, and the surrounding water elements gathered wildly, condensing into a huge water curtain in mid-air, in the water curtain, a white cloud carried a group of young children slowly floating, and the three Zhuji elders flew in the air, and the spiritual power on their bodies gushed out, pushing the white clouds to run.
This is a high-level spell, the Water Curtain Technique, which requires the seventh layer of Qi cultivation to be cast, and it is very spiritual power-consuming, and can only be maintained for a long time by a foundation building monk.
The perseverance test is difficult to say, but it is also very simple, it is to climb a mountain. Everyone asked themselves to start climbing the bottom of the peak, and the higher they climbed, the longer they persisted, and the higher the evaluation they received. But don't underestimate this test, Jiuqian Mountain is nearly a thousand meters above sea level, the cold wind is howling on the mountain, the mountain rocks are frozen, and you will slide down if you are not careful.
With an elder's order, all the children scrambled to climb up. In fact, this group of children were all recommended by the revivals of the Lingguang Sect and possessed certain qualifications, and more or less of them had practiced the cultivation methods among the mundane, and their bodies were in good health. Even many girls climb as fast as they can, no slower than boys.
The three people that Zhang Yuanhao paid attention to were all at the upper level, especially the brocade-clothed boy, who was crawling in front of everyone at the moment, far ahead. As long as he climbs the rock, he can use his strength to climb up, like a gecko. The fur child, on the other hand, climbed unhurriedly, on the second step of the line.
"Ahh
The mountain cliff was steep, the cold wind was bitter, and soon a child couldn't hold on, screamed, fell down from the mountainside dozens of meters high, and was caught by a Lingguang sect deacon who practiced qi at the sixth level with a flying sword.
After making a start, there were people who couldn't hold on and fell, but there were also many people who gritted their teeth and clinged to the rocks, obviously unable to climb, but refused to give up easily.
