Personal disciple!
When Xiao He heard these four words, his eyes lit up.
What a great opportunity this is! Can't miss it anyway.
They entered the White Gate and were only outer disciples. If they wanted to truly worship their master, they had to rush through the Blue Gate.
But to hit the Blue Gate, it will take at least six years.
But six years of hard training, if the method is not proper, it is very likely that you will not be able to break through the Qi refining period, let alone break through the Blue Gate.
And even if he rushed through the Blue Gate, he would still be accepted as a branch disciple, not even a star and a half away from his own disciples.
Personal disciples are the most special existence, which not only depends on aptitude, cultivation base and character, but also depends on luck, chance and fate.
Xiao He's luck this time is very good. He encountered the rare scene of accepting apprentices in the past few decades. If he performed well, he could really reach the sky in one step.
He never thought that he would be accepted by the head of the real person, he only hoped to go higher and get closer to him, that's all.
It's just that this road is very crowded, and there are many more people who want to compete for personal disciples than he imagined.
But he had no fear at all.
Xiao He was gearing up, and Luo Fei was also full of fighting spirit. They walked together and rushed to the selection site together.
Excluding them who had just passed through the white gate, the outer disciples and inner disciples alone were already crowded.
And the content of the assessment is also very difficult, just the first level will ruthlessly wash away ordinary people.
Xiao He has been a beginner for seven years, but he has never tried the spiritual root.
This is a rule in the sect. If you are under the age of fourteen, you are not allowed to investigate the spiritual root.
The reason is that it is too young, the body has not grown up, the spiritual root is unstable, the accuracy rate is very low, it is very likely to miss the heavenly spiritual root, and it is very likely to treat the miscellaneous spiritual root as a treasure, so it is not suitable for profile.
Although there are powerful people with high cultivation bases who can prepare for the survey, but this is too exhausting, the gains outweigh the losses, and it is not conducive to the physical and mental growth of children.
Children in their teens, with immature minds and rash ups and downs, are the easiest to ruin their spirits, and eventually bury their talents and become ordinary people.
For various reasons, it has been handed down to this day, and it has become a convention.
Such things as aptitude are completely destined by the heavens, and it is completely fate that comes first.
Although having a good spiritual root may not necessarily lead to heaven, and having miscellaneous spiritual roots may not necessarily bury it, but this thing is like the starting line.
With a good spiritual root, you are born to run a lap faster than others, and it is not an accident that you can reach the finish line earlier.
And those who fall behind, through unremitting efforts, can finally reach the finish line.
At the end, no matter whether it is an early start or a late start, it is completely equal.
Of course, there are accidents in everything, and the rabbit still lost to the tortoise, so the qualifications really don't mean everything.
Even though he could figure it out, Xiao He still silently hoped that his spiritual root would be better, at least to save some time.
He knew that he had water spirit roots, but he couldn't figure out whether there were any impurities.
If it's not the foundation building stage, but only the qi refining stage, as long as you practice diligently, even if you have four or five spiritual roots, you may not be able to perceive all of them.
The speed of the aptitude test was extremely fast. The nearly 10,000 people were divided into 20 teams, and each team had five sub-units, and each sub-unit had a spiritual curtain, and when people stood on it, the spirit in their bodies could be reflected. The number of spiritual roots.
Xiao He and Luo Fei were in the third team of the tenth team. Because they came late, they were at the bottom.
But the progress ahead was not slow, almost never stopped, most of them stood up, waited a while, and then came down.
Most of the people who came down had bitter faces and unhappy faces.
After about half a quarter of an hour, more than half of the people in this huge venue had already left, and they were eliminated because their qualifications were too mixed.
It's not that you can't cultivate from now on, but you can only take it slowly, and it's not suitable to be accepted as a direct disciple.
It took another half an hour, and after Luo Fei came on stage, there were not many people who hadn't been assessed yet.
Xiao He encouraged him: "Come on, you're fine!"
Luo Fei smiled and said, "I would like to borrow your good words."
After speaking, he stepped up one step, the spiritual curtain was running, and a human figure appeared indistinctly, and then two-color spiritual roots appeared.
Surprise flashed across Luo Fei's face, and Xiao He was also happy for him.
The steward who only listened to the test said: "Fire and earth dual spiritual roots, mutualism, balance, excellent."
A burst of noise erupted around, and envious eyes were cast one after another.
What luck! That's all for the rare dual spiritual roots, but it's still a co-existence system, which means that two kinds of spells can be practiced at the same time!
This is considered to be a relatively good aptitude in this test, Xiao He is really happy for Luo Fei, but at the same time he is also a little worried about himself.
Luo Fei was taken away by a senior brother, and Xiao He finally stood on the spiritual curtain.
He took a deep breath, not daring to open his eyes.
If it's a miscellaneous spirit root...
If qualifications are poor...
if…
No, it doesn't matter even if it is a miscellaneous spirit root, it doesn't matter even if its aptitude is so poor that it can't be cultivated, Xiao He suddenly strengthened his belief that he will go to Qingluan Peak no matter what, and he will see him no matter what, so no matter what his aptitude is, His path of cultivation will never stop for this!
"day by day… "
The steward's voice trembled.
Xiao He opened his eyes suddenly, and after seeing the scene on the spirit curtain, he was also taken aback.
The spiritual curtain is silver-white, but at this moment, the huge spiritual curtain has turned into water blue, and it is constantly bubbling with cold air.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and everyone was holding their breath and looking there without blinking.
It wasn't until the steward finished being shocked that he finally found his own voice.
"Single spiritual root, water system, can grow, change direction, ice."
Although I could already see it, but when I heard it, it was still an instant shock.
Single Lingen! Still growable! It can also change!
What's more terrible is... this single spiritual root is too thick!
Some people's spiritual roots are like chopsticks, some are like wooden sticks, and some are exaggerated like wooden stakes, but Xiao He's spiritual roots are as thick as water tanks, what kind of rhythm is it!
How outrageous this is!
Xiao He himself was elated! This is simply great, with such aptitude, he will definitely be accepted as a personal disciple, he will definitely grow up quickly, and he will definitely be able to... get what he wants!
Xiao He blushed with excitement, and the senior who led him to the next assessment site couldn't help but look at him several times.
He is really a genius who is rare in a hundred years, he must see more, maybe he will be the pillar of Huayunzong again in a hundred years!
Entering the second level, there are no more than dozens of people left, and Xiao He's aptitude is so outstanding that he is almost a designated personal disciple.
There were a total of four elders who came to accept disciples this time, and one of them was named Yuan Feng, who happened to be the spiritual root of the water system, and it was the best way to teach Xiao He.
Due to encounters in his early years, Yuan Feng's appearance was fixed at about forty years old. Although he didn't look old, he was calm and rigid. He was in charge of the church, so he was quite majestic and imposing.
Xiao He carried out the assessment without looking sideways, without thinking too much, which satisfied him quite a bit, and he was already very interested in accepting him as his apprentice.
After the second round of assessment is the third round.
The third round required actual combat, which Xiao He was not afraid of at all.
He has been alone since he went up the mountain at the age of seven. He wants to eat, needs to do work, wants to practice, and needs to do tasks.
The missions released on the mountain are not simple, and hunting monsters is even more commonplace, so although Xiao He is young, his skills are excellent, and he is decisive, deadly, and merciless.
Yuan Feng watched from the side, although he lamented that he was very enlightened, but he also had some concerns.
This young man has outstanding aptitude, good comprehension, and a firm mind, but he is somewhat murderous and paranoid. He is not compatible with the gentleness and warmth of the water element... I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in the future.
Of course, since he was going to be accepted as an apprentice, Yuan Feng would not care about these small flaws. After all, it was about educating the apprentice, and it was up to you to correct it slowly.
After the final assessment was over, Yuan Feng got up, came to Xiao He and asked, "How about joining my sect?"
Xiao He's eyes lit up, his heart was excited, he knelt down on the ground, but when he was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted.
"He has demons!" A teenager shouted anxiously.
Everyone was startled and turned their heads slightly.
Xiao He also looked over, and when he saw the person coming, he narrowed his eyes.
It's Su Yichen.
Su Yichen still had the blood of monsters hanging on his body. Obviously, he passed the assessment with good luck. Seeing that everyone was looking over at this time, he said anxiously: "Xiao He is obsessed with the master master, with persistent love and deep-rooted demons." , there will definitely be a catastrophe in the future.”
Xiao He looked at him coldly, and said in a concentrated voice: "Shut up!"
Su Yichen's hands trembled with fear, but his eyes were filled with resentment. He was unwilling to let such a poor ghost ascend to heaven, and he would let him fall into the mud!
"Do you dare to say that the reason you pursue the Dao is not the real master? You dare to say that the reason you compete for direct disciples is not to be close to the real master? Do you dare to say that what you long for is not to meet the master?"
Xiao He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were already full of murderous intent.
Su Yichen was not afraid at this moment. He raised his head and shouted to Yuanfeng: "Elder! He has evil thoughts and deep obsessions. Even if he has excellent aptitude, he will definitely be destroyed in the future. Don't you know, some time ago I He just casually said 'he was left behind by the head master', and he went crazy and wanted to kill me!"
Xiao He stared at Su Yichen, curled his fingers, and wanted to draw his sword several times.
Yuan Feng frowned, and questioned him: "Is everything this disciple said true?"
Xiao He was silent.
Yuan Feng asked again: "Are you actually obsessed with the real master? All you want is to see him?"
Xiao He still didn't respond.
But not to refute is the default, and Yuanfeng's eyes gradually turned cold, Su Yichen proudly said: "Elder, if you don't believe it, why don't you call out the mirror, and you can see clearly the dirty things in his heart with just one photo..."
"I didn't!" Xiao He said suddenly, his voice was cold, as if mixed with ice.
Su Yichen was forced to interrupt, but he raised his head and was not convinced at all.
The elders all looked at Xiao He one after another, Xiao He was silent for a while, and said coldly: "The head master saved my life, I admire him, reverence him, what's wrong?"
Yuan Feng stared at him: "Tell me, you have practiced hard for many years, what do you do?"
Xiao He gritted his teeth.
Yuan Feng continued to ask: "Is it for the pursuit of the way of heaven, or is it the desire to meet that person?"
In the midst of questioning, Xiao He stood coldly. It could be said that he was pursuing the way of heaven, but he was unwilling! He can hide it for a while, but he can't hide it for a lifetime, besides, he never feels that his thoughts are shady!
"I just want to stand side by side with him!" This sentence came out sonorously, but it made Yuanfeng's eyes stained with disappointment.
"You child, why..."
Xiao He suddenly raised his head and interrupted his words: "Elder, practicing for the way of heaven, working hard for the way of heaven, and pursuing the way of heaven wholeheartedly, isn't it obsession? My God, my way, is that person, I just want to Standing on Qingluan Peak, I just want to stand beside him openly, how is this obsession different from your pursuit of the way of heaven?"
As soon as his words came out, they were really treasonous words.
Yuan Feng said angrily: "The heart demons of love and robbery are all cholera. You have a strong heart. If you can't get what you want, won't you turn against the sky, turn over the land, and let everything annihilate, and the people will be burned?"
Xiao He said sharply: "I won't!"
"No?" Yuan Feng asked back, "How dare you say that you didn't have the thought of killing just now? Do you dare say that you didn't want to kill that little disciple just now?"
The person he was referring to was Su Yichen.
Xiao He pursed his lips and retorted: "I want to kill him because he has a mean temper, because he turns right and wrong, and because he is a human being in vain!"
"Heh." Yuan Feng sneered, "If he hadn't exposed your thoughts today, if he hadn't jumped out to accuse you today, would you still want to kill him?"
Xiao He said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Being so extreme and obsessed, Yuanfeng sighed, shook his head and said, "You and I are not in the right temperament, I'm afraid we won't be able to get along with each other, it's just a matter of accepting disciples."
Being rejected by the Great Elder in this way, Xiao He's future was completely ruined.
Luo Fei was a little anxious, and couldn't help but grabbed Xiao He's arm, hoping that he would subdue him.
But Xiao He didn't even have the slightest intention to bow his head.
Just when everyone was feeling sorry for Xiao He, suddenly an ethereal voice sounded out of thin air.
"Heart demon, you can't hide, you can only respond."
"You come to Qingluan Palace, I will accept you as a disciple."
