"Xu Chunniang, water, wood and earth three spiritual roots, medium aptitude, entered the Xiaoyao Sect's outer sect."
…
Xu Chunniang was still in a daze until she got on the immortal's flying boat. She couldn't believe it.
She actually passed the immortal's assessment
Xu Chunniang pinched her thigh hard, grimacing in pain, but her eyes became brighter and brighter, all this was actually true!
She passed the test, and she will never have to go hungry again. She even has the chance to learn the skills of an immortal!
When she was excited, she heard a malicious voice coming from behind her.
"Where did this dirty beggar come from? He actually sat with us. How unlucky!"
When Xu Chunniang heard the voice, she looked and saw that the person who was speaking was a little girl about her age. The little girl was wearing luxurious clothes and was very beautiful and dignified. It was obvious at first glance that she was either rich or noble.
She squinted her eyes, with undisguised disgust and condescending disdain in them, as if she had seen something dirty.
Xu Chunniang was deeply hurt by such a look. She subconsciously avoided the gaze and lowered her head.
The person behind her was unwilling to let her go easily. After seeing the birthmark on her face, he exclaimed, "She's actually an ugly freak. I don't know how someone like her managed to get in here!"
Xu Chunniang bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. From childhood to adulthood, she had been laughed at countless times because of the red birthmark on her face, and was even called "Achou". But none of them was as sad as this time.
She had just barely passed the immortal's test and thought her life would get better in the future, but this voice wiped out all her joy.
It turns out that after passing the assessment, there is no difference from before, and people still call me ugly.
When the other teenagers saw what was happening, they all shrank their necks and pretended not to see anything.
After all, the young lady in gorgeous clothes looked like she had an extraordinary background, and no one was willing to risk offending her and speak for Xu Chunniang.
The girl in fancy clothes gave orders as if it was a matter of course, "Ugly freak, go to the end of the boat. My eyes hurt when I see your face."
Wei Dawu, who walked out of the cabin, just heard these words. He frowned slightly and his eyes fell on Xu Chunniang.
The skinny little girl was wearing clothes that were washed white and carrying a patched bag on her back. She stood there with her head down, looking embarrassed, not knowing what to do.
Wei Dawu was from Weijia Village, which was next to Xujia Village. The two villages were close to each other and they were related. He couldn't bear to see the ugly girl being bullied like this.
He turned around and said calmly, "We will all be fellow disciples in the future. It's not good for you to bully others, right?"
As if she had not expected someone to dare to contradict her, Huangfu Yao was furious, and the corners of her beautiful eyes became sharp, "How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you disobey me?"
Wei Dawu was not afraid of her, and said in a steady voice, "I don't care who you are. Anyway, we are all members of the Xiaoyao Sect from now on. It is wrong for you to bully others."
Before Huangfu Yao could speak, the young man in brocade clothes beside her pulled her and whispered, "This man just came out of the cabin. He should be an inner sect disciple."
The girl in fancy clothes paused. In Xiaoyao Sect, the status of inner disciples and outer disciples was very different. She could order the outer disciples around, but she didn't dare to do the same to the inner disciples.
After all, she is still just an outer sect disciple, and if she wants to enter the inner sect, she needs her brother's help. It is not good to offend other inner sect disciples before entering the inner sect. Huangfu Yao is just arrogant, but not stupid.
She looked grim, glared at Xu Chunniang, and turned angrily to the other side of the cabin. Seeing this, the young master beside her hurriedly followed her.
"Brother Dawu!" Xu Chunniang looked up at Wei Dawu and sniffed excitedly, "Thank you for speaking for me."
She was really panicked just now. If she was bullied in the village, Xu Chunniang could curse and fight back, but this was not a village, but an immortal's flying boat.
Xu Chunniang was just an eight-year-old village girl who knew nothing about the world of immortals. What would she do if the immortals got angry and no longer wanted her and drove her back to Xujia Village
"Why thank you?" Wei Dawu shook his head. "We are from the same place, and I am older than you, so it is my duty to help you. But I will become an inner sect disciple in the future, and there is a difference between inner sect and outer sect, so I am afraid I will not be able to take care of you."
"Is there any difference between the inner gate and the outer gate?" Xu Chunniang asked curiously.
When the arrogant girl heard that Brother Da Wu might be an inner sect disciple, she immediately stopped bothering him. This "inner sect" must be very powerful.
“I don’t quite understand it either. I just heard that those with good talents can enter the inner sect. It is said that the inner sect disciples have abundant cultivation resources. Not only do they have the opportunity to become disciples, but they can also listen to the elders’ lectures every day.
The rest of the people can only enter the outer sect. The outer sect disciples are not talented, their status is not as good as the inner sect disciples, and their treatment is also worse. However, as long as the outer sect disciples can practice and build their foundation, they can enter the inner sect. "
Wei Dawu told in detail the news he had heard.
"People like me who have two spiritual roots can usually enter the inner gate. If you have three spiritual roots, you must have very good spiritual roots to enter the inner gate. Four or five spiritual roots are too complicated and chaotic, and cultivation is very slow, so usually you can't enter the inner gate."
Xu Chunniang nodded as if she understood, and took note of what Wei Dawu said.
So, the fewer spiritual roots one has, the stronger one is. She remembered that when the immortal was tested just now, he said that he had three spiritual roots: water, wood, and earth. It was not very good, but not bad either.
"In short, whether it's the inner sect or the outer sect, our goal is to practice."
Wei Dawu patted her head as if to comfort her. "New disciples have a three-year protection period. You must take advantage of these three years to learn skills. If you don't work hard, you may even be kicked out of the sect. The immortal sect doesn't want waste."
Xu Chunniang nodded heavily. She must practice hard and not be kicked out of the sect!
After Wei Dawu explained some more things, he returned to the cabin. After all, he was selected to join the inner sect, so it would not be good for him to stay outside all the time.
Xu Chunniang watched him leave with reverence, and the nervousness and anxiety in her heart eased a lot.
In the world of immortals, she at least has an acquaintance. If Da Wu can do it, she... can do it too!
After she relaxed, she felt a strong hunger. Xu Chunniang carefully took out a dry biscuit from her bag, biting the white flour biscuit in small bites, her eyes a little wet.
The family was very poor, barely able to make ends meet. Her mother used the last bit of flour to bake pancakes and gave them to her.
Fortunately, after being chosen by the immortal, the immortal will give one hundred taels of silver as a reward, which is a huge fortune for the family.
With this money, my parents and my younger brothers and sisters will no longer have to go hungry. We can even build a few spacious brick houses and find a good marriage for my brother.
Xu Chunniang swallowed the cake and felt a little happy. Although she didn't understand the world of immortals, it was a great thing to be able to have enough food and make money for her family.
However, Brother Da Wu said that her talent was average and she was just an outer disciple. There were many people as powerful as Brother Da Wu who became inner disciples.
A hint of determination flashed in Xu Chunniang's eyes. She would definitely practice hard and soon become what Da Wu Ge called the foundation-building stage and enter the so-called inner gate!
