Chapter 28: Rong Qiheng

After climbing up the ladder, she had a vague expectation in her heart. She wanted to explore a wider world, ascend to the spirit world, and even ascend to the fairy world.

Afterwards, those with single spiritual roots and double spiritual roots were taken to the square in front of the main peak to the front hall of the main peak of the Sect Leader, and those with three spiritual roots were taken directly to the outer gate.

"Dear fellow brothers and sisters, this is the main peak of the sect. The peak master of this main peak is the sect leader of our school. Today, dozens of peak masters of the sect are here. This is a rare sight. Only during the sect competition can we see the heroic figures of the peak masters. Here, my senior brother wishes you all to find a famous teacher." said Murong Hua, the eldest disciple of the sect leader.

This time, the sect's master taught him how to manage everything and only gave him some advice when he couldn't make a decision. Looking at the group of fellow disciples behind him, he estimated that most of them would become direct disciples of certain peaks in the future.

I have to sigh that the disciples accepted this time are truly talented. Not to mention those who are being trained by various families, a few days ago, I actually found a mutated thunder root and several single roots among those mortals.

"Brother, can we all become disciples?" asked a young man from a noble family.

"Haha, Immortal Sword Sect has more than thirty inner peaks and outer peaks each. There are many small peaks under each peak. Only those with single or double spiritual roots can go to the main hall. Whether one can worship a master is not just based on spiritual roots.

From the day you started climbing the Immortal Ladder, the elders of the sect who wanted to accept you as a disciple began to pay attention to you. Each elder focuses on different aspects, such as spiritual roots, perseverance, understanding, and character. Some elders accept disciples based on liking, while others accept disciples based on preference. But even if you cannot become a disciple today, you can still become a disciple once you advance to the Golden Core stage in the future."

"Ah, you have to advance to the Golden Core stage to do that?"

"Yes, only by advancing to the Golden Core stage can we fully see whether a person is suitable for a path of cultivation, so fellow disciples, please behave well later. The difference between having a master and not having a master is huge. But don't be nervous, the peak masters are still very kind."

"Brother, there are so many people in the square, can the elders choose them all?"

"Many of them are disciples with three spiritual roots. They don't want to take part in the apprenticeship. Someone will send them to the outer sect later."

"Brother, we are just going to become disciples directly. Don't we need to do anything? Just let the elders choose us directly?"

"Of course not. Before choosing a disciple, we have to test your spiritual roots again. This test is mainly to see the purity of your spiritual roots. Okay, we are at the main hall. You wait here first. Someone will notify you to come in later. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

"Thank you, Brother."

Not long after, a disciple came to greet them.

"Alright, fellow brothers and sisters, the test is about to begin. Line up first. The double-spiritual root cultivators go in one by one. After the double-spiritual root cultivators have gone in, the single-spiritual root cultivators can go in. Do you understand?"

"Clear."

The majority of the disciples were new ones with dual spiritual roots. People kept coming in and coming out, and those who came out were all a little dejected.

"Brother, why didn't some people come out?"

"Those who haven't come out are usually those who have already taken a disciple, so of course they follow the master."

"What about the disciples who came out?"

"Go to the outer gate first, and then enter the inner gate after building the foundation."

It wasn't long before they started testing single spiritual roots, and there were still nearly thirty people left.

When it was Yun Shang's turn to test the purity of her spiritual roots, she gently placed a hand on the crystal ball.

Suddenly, Yun Shang vaguely noticed the attraction coming from the spiritual stone. It was very slight, but it was sensitively detected by Yun Shang, but she did not dare to move even a little bit.

She saw that the spiritual stone that was originally empty in the center suddenly changed dramatically, and red flames suddenly burst out, filling the entire spiritual stone in an instant.

  The flames surged turbulently in the transparent spirit-detecting stone, and the power of destruction was contained in it, and there was a vague feeling of breaking through the spirit-detecting stone. 

"Fire, fire, fire-type spiritual root, purity, purity of 10." The deacon disciple who was announcing was so shocked that his eyes were dull and he stuttered.

When the purity of 10 come out, many people was shocked, because Yun Shang has pure fire spiritual roots that that are known as Heavenly Spiritual Roots! A Genius!

Generally, the spiritual root test will only show the color that represents the spiritual root attributes, and the percentage of the color occupying the crystal ball represents the color purity.

The most rare thing is that when the spiritual root is purified to a certain level, strange images will appear in the spiritual stone. That's Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

It's really uncomfortable for Yun Shang, in fact she really doesn't want it to be so eye catching, but Chaos Space just can change spiritual roots that's shown as single spiritual roots, as for purity that's purified by spiritual spring? It can't be changed.

That's why she choose to show single spiritual root not the more low-keyed dual spiritual roots, because it will be the same with purity 10 each of the two spiritual roots, it will be more eye catching.

Before Yuanying elders come out of their surprise and stealing apprentice, a male cultivator entered the hall.

"I will accept this disciple." The male cultivator was dressed in green, with a felt scarf on his head, his temples were as sharp as a knife, his eyebrows were as black as ink, his face was like peach petals, and his eyes were as gentle as autumn waves. What a gentle person! People unconsciously wanted to get close to him.

"Greetings to Qingmu Daojun!"

The heads of all the peaks and the chiefs stood up and saluted the male cultivator.

"Are you willing to take me as your master?" the handsome man asked Yun Shang.

"Disciple greets Master," Yun Shang immediately stepped forward and kowtowed. Seeing the reactions of those people above, she knew in her heart that this man should be a Divine Transformation cultivator, so how could she be unwilling?

"Very good. From now on, you are my disciple, Rong Qiheng. Today, everyone will be a witness. Just pay your respects to your master here."

Soon a disciple came over with a cup of tea. Yun Shang took the tea and kowtowed three times to Qingmu Daojun. "Disciple Yun Shang greets Master."

"From now on, you are my, Qingmu Daojun's, last disciple. Well, let's go back to Yunhai Peak."

When she was coming back to her sense, she was already at Yunhai Peak. Looking at the Yunhai Peak in front of her, Yun Shang was indescribably shocked. It was completely different in style from the sect leader's main peak. The sect leader's main peak looked very solemn and people dared not be presumptuous, while Yunhai Peak was so beautiful, it was simply a fairyland. Thinking that she would practice here in the future, she felt very excited.

"The peak where I, master is is Yunhai Peak. You can go for a walk first. After you have chosen your own cave, come back to see me tomorrow."

"Yes, Master." Yun Shang came out of the master's cave, looking at the fairyland-like scenery and breathing the spiritual energy that was several times richer than that of outside. 

She felt that she had made a fortune by worshipping this cheap master.

"Senior Sister, I'm the manager of Yunhai Peak, Lin Luo. Senior Sister, you can come to me anytime if you have any questions. This is my communication talisman." The voice of a middle-aged uncle came from behind Yun Shang.

"Ah, senior, hello. I'm Yun Shang, you can just call my name. I just arrived today, so I'll have to trouble you if I need anything in the future." Being called senior sister by a senior in the late Jindan stage felt weird, so Yun Shang hurriedly replied.

"You are Daojun's disciple, which means you are of the same generation as the sect leader. I am just the manager of the peak, so you should address me like that." Lin Luo continued.

He suffered from famine in his childhood and his parents and sisters died one after another. Just when he thought he would starve to death, Daojun Qingmu saved him and brought him back to Immortal Sword Sect. However, he had four spiritual roots and could not become a formal disciple of Immortal Sword Sect. So he went to Yunhai Peak and became a menial disciple.

After practicing, he was thankful more than once that he had met Daojun Qingmu. Although he was just a menial disciple, because he practiced on Yunhai Peak, he obtained much more practice resources than others.

There were few people on Yunhai Peak, and there were not many things to do, so he had more time to practice. Otherwise, how could he advance to the Golden Core stage with his four spiritual roots?

So Lin Luo was very polite to Yun Shang, and did not act like a Golden Core Master. This was the first disciple of the Taoist Master, so he must have some extraordinary qualities.

Seeing Lin Luo's insistence, Yun Shang did not continue the topic. "Uncle Lin, tell me about our peak so I can learn more about it. The master told me to choose my own cave."

Yunhai Peak is one of the eight main peaks of Immortal Sword Sect. The peak master is Qingmu Daojun, who is in the early stage of Spirit Transformation and has a single wood spiritual root.

Yunhai Peak is the peak that all the Immortal Sword Sect disciples want to enter the most. Not to mention the peak master, Qingmu Daojun, just the beautiful scenery on the peak, the rich spiritual energy, and the fields of spiritual herbs and fruits are all urgently needed by cultivators.

There is a special spiritual fruit area on Yunhai Peak. Even the masters of each peak covet the spiritual fruits in it. In addition, there are medicinal gardens scattered everywhere.

Taoist Qingmu, who just reached the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, is the only tenth-grade alchemist. A rare treasure where majority of cultivator in Immortal Sword Sect is sword cultivator.

Daoist Master Qingmu hoped to train alchemist for the sect before ascending to heaven. But his requirements were too high, and after selecting and choosing, no disciple could meet his requirements. Just when he was about to give up and was about to lower his requirements and find a disciple in the sect, Yun Shang bumped into him.

People who possess heavenly fire spiritual roots have huge advantage than others when making pills. It can be said that as long as they are taught properly, Immortal Sword Sect will produce another excellent alchemist.
