Top-Tier Talent
Chen Mobai looked around and noticed that everyone looked hesitant.
He found it very strange, but after putting himself in the shoes of these Rogue Cultivator and thinking about it, he suddenly realized what they were thinking.
The moment these people embarked on the path of cultivation, they understood the importance of Spiritual Root.
Since they can become cultivators, it means that they all possess Spiritual Root. However, these Spiritual Root could very well lead to either ascension to immortality or damnation.
They wanted to know their Spiritual Root through the Spirit Measurement Platform, but they were also afraid of discovering that they had False Spirit Root with four or five attributes, which would jeopardize their future on the path of cultivation.
With this feeling of uncertainty and anxiety, an awkward silence fell over the room.
Chen Mobai knew his own Spiritual Root talent. If he were in the Immortal Sect, he would definitely have gone up on stage with the mindset of being the first to finish the exam.
But this is the Sky River Realm, and we must not attract attention.
He held back, waiting for the first rogue cultivator to emerge, hoping to attract the attention of the two true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect Rogue Cultivator.
As expected, after about an incense stick's time, Yuan Chiye noticed that no one had come up on stage yet, and he couldn't help but frown.
"If no one is present, the spirit test will end here. Those who are not tested will not be able to participate in the next round of Talisman assessment."
After he said that, someone finally couldn't hold back anymore.
A burly, bald man with no eyebrows stepped forward, bowed to Yuan Chiye, and then cautiously walked onto the Spirit Measurement Platform.
He meditated and inhaled spiritual energy, just like the others had done before.
Then, five-colored light shone.
"Five Elements False Spirit Root, not acceptable."
"Master Yuan, I am at the Qi Cultivation Level 8, it's impossible for my Spiritual Root to be so bad. Would you like to examine my Bone Reading again?"
The bald, burly man turned pale upon seeing the radiance of his own Spiritual Root, but he still ran to Yuan Chiye's side without giving up and stretched out his right hand.
"Qi Cultivation Level 8, alright then, participate in the next round of Talisman assessment."
Yuan Chiye did not Bone Reading. He nodded and dismissed the bald man, then gestured for the next person to come up.
Many Rogue Cultivator witnessed this scene believed the rumors that had been circulating in the market recently.
The Divine Wood Sect lost many disciples in Cloud Dream Marsh, so it seems they will really recruit more people this year.
Originally, someone with False Spirit Root of the Five Elements would definitely be eliminated, but Qi Cultivation Level 8 and able to complete many sect missions, they were given a second chance.
So, the remaining Late Qi Cultivation Rogue Cultivator all eagerly went up to the Spirit Measurement Platform.
But the result was very unexpected for Chen Mobai; they were all False Spirit Root with four or five attributes.
"That's strange, what's going on?"
"Senior, these people have been able to cultivate to the Late Qi Cultivation because they have gone through the recruitment of disciples by the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect several times. Their Spiritual Root talents have long been measured. Those geniuses with True Spirit Root have already been selected in the previous sessions."
Qi Er's words made Chen Mobai suddenly realize the truth.
His previous thoughts were all wrong. It turned out that these people were not afraid to go on stage because they were worried about finding out that their Spiritual Root talent was not good.
Rather, they already knew they were False Spirit Root with four or five attributes, and that they were all over the age limit, which did not meet the requirements for recruiting disciples by the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect. They knew they would be eliminated, so they did not go up.
However, thanks to the Demon Beast frenzy in Cloud Dream Marsh, the Divine Wood Sect may have suffered significant losses, so they are being lenient with these rogue Rogue Cultivator in the Late Qi Cultivation Refining stage.
I wonder what the Talisman assessment will be like later on.
Just as Chen Mobai was pondering this question, the tests on the Late Qi Cultivation Rogue Cultivator were almost complete, and as expected, they were all False Spirit Root, causing Yuan Chiye to shake his head repeatedly.
Finally, he didn't even bother to look anymore and started chatting with the disciples who were managing the Divine Wood Sect's shops.
"If the Sect Leader hadn't asked us to recruit more people this time, none of these people would have been able to join the sect."
"Actually, it's good. After all, these Rogue Cultivator have all developed a skill to the Late Qi Cultivation. Foundation Establishment is impossible for them, but they can make good use of the sect's forces in Cloud Dream Marsh."
One of the shopkeepers of the Magic Artifact shop said with a smile.
"Huh, there's still a hidden gem."
Suddenly, the young-looking female disciple of the Divine Wood Sect spoke up in surprise.
Yuan Chiye, who was chatting casually, immediately turned his head and saw a handsome young man sitting on the Spirit Measurement Platform, breathing deeply.
Baiguang, blue light, black light appeared!
It's actually True Spirit Root with three attributes! Yuan Chiye's eyes lit up, and he stood up.
"What is the background of this Rogue Cultivator?"
The shopkeeper who managed the Divine Wood Sect's medicine shop immediately stepped forward and reported to Yuan Chiye.
"This is a Rogue Cultivator who only appeared in the Yun Country last year. He also went to the Green Light Island Market of my sect in Cloud Dream Marsh some time ago. He was very lucky and escaped after the Demon Beast destroyed the island."
"Oh, so they escaped from the ruins of Green Light Island."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye couldn't help but marvel.
As True Disciple, he naturally knew the ferocity of the Green Light Island battlefield. The Divine Wood Sect and Golden Light Cliff lost two Foundation Establishment Elder in order to buy time for most disciples to retreat through the Teleportation Array.
To be able to escape alive from such a battlefield, this person must have extraordinary abilities.
"Can we investigate the origins of this person's journey into cultivation?"
Although the Divine Wood Sect is not as strict with Rogue Cultivator as the Five Elements Sect, it still conducts basic population surveys to prevent other sects from sending people to steal the Divine Wood Sect's cultivation techniques and secret manuals.
"I have heard him mention it. It is said that when he was a child, he fell into a big lake while fishing and accidentally entered a Water Mansion, where he obtained the method of cultivating immortality."
The foreshadowing from Chen Mobai's conversation with the owner of the Divine Wood Sect's herbal medicine shop has come to light; he was planning to join the Divine Wood Sect and then whitewash the Water Mansion as his own.
Since this Water Mansion previously belonged to the Five Elements Sect and no one has come to reclaim it yet, the Divine Wood Sect, which branched off from the Five Elements Sect, is also qualified to claim ownership of this Water Mansion.
Once he joins the Divine Wood Sect, wouldn't the Water Mansion rightfully belong to him?
Anyway, the Spirit Land at the Giant Wood Ridge of the Divine Wood Sect are so numerous that they are almost deserted, so even if they knew about this small Water Mansion, they definitely wouldn't care.
"Okay, I understand."
Just then, Chen Mobai came down from the Spirit Measurement Platform and walked towards Yuan Chiye.
After the spirit test, there is also Bone Reading to check the cultivation level.
"Not bad, only nineteen years old, yet already at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, and with True Spirit Root."
After Bone Reading the bones, Yuan Chiye was even more satisfied.
"With your current cultivation progress, the attributes of this True Spirit Root must be quite good. It might even be a top-tier talent approaching the level of a two- Spiritual Root. You don't need to participate in the upcoming Talisman assessment."
Yuan Chiye immediately determined Chen Mobai's eligibility to join the sect.
"Huh?"
Chen Mobai was quite surprised by this, as he knew that it was just a very ordinary Triple Spirit Root, and it was only a few points away from being classified as a four- Spiritual Root.
How come the result in Yuan Chiye's mouth is completely different from the Spiritual Root certification issued by the big hospital in the Immortal Sect?
