As for talent, in fact, it had already shown its first signs during the assessment on the bluestone stairs.
The bluestone stairs will be open within seven days. The earlier one reaches the top of the fairy mountain, the higher his talent or luck will be.
Since Chu Qi and Yan Jiuge were able to reach the top of the fairy mountain so early, their talents must be good.
Using the test stone to identify talents is just to subdivide the spiritual roots and see which path of cultivation is more suitable.
But everyone knows that for a cultivator with good talent, no matter which path he takes, he will succeed.
However, since Yan Jiuge had said this, the immortals naturally would not refute it. It would only take half a minute anyway, so there was no harm in testing it.
Following Yan Jiuge's wishes, the immortals took them to the center of the square.
There is a test stone there that is specifically used to test one's spiritual roots.
*
Chu Qi raised his foot and followed Yan Jiuge's pace, not caring about the test of talent.
Chu Qi knew his talent early on. He had dual spiritual roots of water and wood, which was considered to be above average. Unfortunately, his talent in swordplay was average, and at the age of twenty, he still could not comprehend the meaning of sword.
But Yan Jiuge is different. He seems to be born to wield a sword.
Yan Jiuge became a disciple of Tianxuan Sect at the age of thirteen. Within a month, he realized the sword intent and broke through the Qi Refining Stage to directly build the foundation. Since then, Yan Jiuge's cultivation has risen rapidly and he has become famous in the Yunhua Realm. He has become a child of destiny that people often mention.
Recalling the past, Chu Qi's eyes looked a little distant.
He looked at Yan Jiuge who was surrounded by the immortals, his eyes showing warmth, and thought that Yan Jiuge's reputation as a genius in this life would probably spread throughout the Yunhua Realm in advance.
If you were to ask Chu Qi what his wish was after being reborn.
One is to live well and avoid the so-called sudden death plot. The other is to see Yan Jiuge reach the top of the sword path with his own eyes.
When he was young, Yan Jiuge was dancing with a sword under a locust tree. He caught a glimpse of him from the window and remembered it for ten years.
If it weren't for the misunderstanding with Yan Jiuge and the frequent quarrels between them, Chu Qi might have liked it.
As for whether one's talent is good or bad, whether one can become an immortal or not, all these are up to fate. In his new life, Chu Qi has let it go.
He died suddenly without any reason, and he had not lived a complete life yet. After his death, he learned about the misunderstanding between him and Yan Jiuge. It was enough for him to make up for the regrets of his previous life in this life.
While they were thinking, they had already arrived at the testing stone.
Yan Jiuge said to Chu Qi, "Why don't you go over and test it first? Just put your hand on the stone and close your eyes to meditate."
Chu Qi was just coming back to his senses when he saw Yan Jiuge's eyes full of expectation. He wanted to refuse but couldn't say anything. He nodded and said, "Okay."
After he responded, not only Yan Jiuge, but also other senior immortal sect masters around him showed anticipation in their eyes.
Chu Qi was silent: "..."
I thought to myself, don't have too high expectations on his talent, he is actually mediocre.
"Don't be nervous, the test is not difficult at all." Yan Jiuge even spoke out to comfort him.
Chu Qi was not nervous at all, and even felt a little helpless.
But at this moment, he was a kid who was testing his talent for the first time, so he should be nervous. Thinking of this, Chu Qi nodded in agreement with Yan Jiuge's words, "I understand, I'm not nervous."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Qi walked towards the test stone.
One step, two steps... ten steps, he walked to the test stone, put his hand on it with the same action as in his previous life, and then closed his eyes to meditate.
"… "
After a moment, Chu Qi was a little distracted.
Because the feel of the test stone in his hand had changed. It felt like touching soft grass leaves, completely different from the continuous flow of water in his previous life.
How is this going
Chu Qi was confused, but he did not stop meditating. He would not stop until the test stone no longer sensed him.
At this moment, there was silence all around and no one whispered, for fear of disturbing the scene before their eyes.
The test stone can sense the spiritual roots in the cultivator's body and can change according to the strength of the spiritual roots.
After Chu Qi entered a state of meditation, the test stone in his hand changed.
The transparent crystal first showed a hint of light green, and then the green slowly spread out. This was a normal phenomenon.
But when it spread all over the test stone, something unexpected happened. Just like a seed breaking through the soil, the test stone suddenly turned into a tall and lush sacred tree.
A rich vitality flowed from the sacred tree, and its tender branches extended towards Chu Qi, revealing its affection.
Even though the scene before their eyes was just a simulation of the test stone and not real, others could still feel the grandeur of the sacred tree and the vibrant breath of heaven and earth.
It was the innate wood spiritual root, or the ultimate wood spiritual root that triggered the strange phenomenon of the sacred tree!
If someone with such talent could become a medical practitioner, he would be on a meteoric rise.
After recovering from the shock, Elder Zhu Hua of Qingling Sect did not even bother to stroke his beard. He took a deep breath and said sincerely, "My friend is gifted with wood spiritual roots. Why don't you join my Qingling Sect to learn medicine? My Qingling Sect's medical tradition dates back to ancient times, and we also have thousands of acres of medicinal fields."
The disciples of Fuyao Palace also clenched their clothes, "We have many medical practitioners in Fuyao Palace, and many inheritance schools. Half of the sect is a medicine field. Compared with Yunhua Realm, no one can match it."
"This kind of wood spiritual root has a very strong affinity, so it's great for him to learn the art of taming beasts! Don't be so old-fashioned. You know, medical practitioners are not good at fighting, and having an extra spiritual pet can provide an extra layer of protection!"
The Beast Taming Sect argued with reason.
“The Bodhi tree also originates from the sacred tree.”
Master Bodhi, who originally had no intention of participating in his disciples' scramble, now said this.
There is no other reason, it's just that this kind of wood spiritual root talent is rare to come by in a thousand years, if you miss it you will miss it in another thousand years.
"Monks do not tell lies. You, the Bodhi Sect, agreed not to get involved in this matter." Elder Zhu Hua of the Qingling Sect condemned.
"I am just expressing my feelings." Master Bodhi sighed.
If the young man in front of him did not have deep ties to the world, he would not have withdrawn from the competition at the beginning.
What a pity. What a pity.
The elders of Tianxuan Sect couldn't think of the right words. After all, the medicinal fields in their Tianxuan Sect were less than two or three hectares, and the number of medical practitioners could be counted on one hand. It was really embarrassing to say it out loud.
But with the ideas of the Beast Taming Sect and the Bodhi Sect in mind, the elders of the Tianxuan Sect also thought of the unique advantages of the Tianxuan Sect, so they spoke up.
"The medical practitioners of our Tianxuan Sect are different. When they pick up swords, they can also beat the sword practitioners of Fuyao Palace and Qingling Sect!"
Fuyao Palace: “…”
Qingling Sect: “…”
Beast Tamer: "..."
Bodhi Sect: “…”
It sounds like your Tianxuan Sect is quite proud? You want a doctor to learn swordsmanship? Is that appropriate
*
However, the parties involved have not yet responded, and the dispute among the five major immortal sects has no result for the time being.
When Chu Qi came out of his meditation state, he was more shocked than anyone else at his own talent.
His talent turned out to be the innate wood spiritual root, rather than the dual wood and water spiritual roots.
And this sacred tree that was simulated by the test stone had never appeared in the previous life.
Could it be... Could it be that the body he was reborn into was not his own
But walking up the bluestone stairs with Yan Jiuge was definitely my memory. How could my talent change for no reason
Chu Qi looked up at the sacred tree above his head, and many absurd thoughts suddenly came to his mind.
"Aqi, what are you daydreaming about?"
Perhaps seeing that Chu Qi had not made any movement, Yan Jiuge called out to him from ten feet away.
"I..." Chu Qi subconsciously wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered that the matter of rebirth and "plot" was too shocking and should not be spoken casually. Even if he was shocked, he had to find the answers to these things alone.
After coming back to his senses, Chu Qi pursed his lips and withdrew his hand from the test stone.
In an instant, the phantom of the towering sacred tree disappeared from this world, and the test stone returned to its previous appearance.
Chu Qi walked back to Yan Jiuge and slowly said, "I didn't expect... that I was so talented."
"Aqi's talent is rare to come by."
When Yan Jiuge said this, his eyebrows raised slightly and he was in a good mood.
The previous time, Chu Qi was still in a trance. Now, when he heard Yan Jiuge address him again, he couldn't help but be stunned.
After his relationship with Yan Jiuge deteriorated in his previous life, he never heard Yan Jiuge call him "Aqi" again.
Perhaps everything started to change from the bluestone stairs in this life.
However, Chu Qi was still confused about the change in his talent. If his talent had changed, what about Yan Jiuge's
Thinking of this, Chu Qi slowed down his tone and urged, "Then you should also test it and let me see yours, okay?"
He is only ten years old now, his voice is crisp with a hint of childishness, and when he asks, the rising ending of his tone is very soft.
It seems like she is acting like a spoiled child.
Yan Jiuge's ears softened, and when this thought flashed through his mind, he nodded unconsciously and responded to Chu Qi's words.
For Yan Jiuge, it didn't matter whether he had a talent test, whether he entered the immortal sect or not, or where he practiced. He came from a different background, and someone had already determined his future path.
If there is one exception, it was that I met Chu Qi when I was young, which led to this situation today.
Accompany Chu Qi to walk up the bluestone stairs, and then accompany him to enter the Immortal Gate... If we can be together in the future, inseparable. Just the thought of this made Yan Jiuge feel excited.
After looking at the person who was standing there waiting for him to be tested, Yan Jiuge walked towards the test stone.
With Chu Qi in front, the immortal sects were mentally prepared for the rare genius. But when they saw the test stone simulated again, they couldn't help but reveal shock in their eyes.
The shadow of an imposing spiritual sword appeared next to Yan Jiuge's hand.
I saw that the spirit sword was extremely sharp, the blade was tempered with blood, and the sword body was wrapped with layers of ancient restrictions, as if to suppress the cold murderous aura on the sword body, and as if to resonate with the sword intent.
Sword is a weapon. Weapons are blades for killing, sharp and unstoppable.
"Extreme fire spirit root, born with sword intent, sharp and unstoppable, a rare genius in swordsmanship!"
The elder of Tianxuan Sect spoke excitedly, and in the silence, he continued passionately, "Our Tianxuan Sect has been established for five thousand years. We founded the sect with the sword. There are a thousand volumes of mental methods and seven kinds of ancient swordsmanship. The sword cultivation strength of our disciples is the best in Yunhua Realm. I wonder if this young friend is willing to join our Tianxuan Sect?"
It’s not that the Tianxuan Sect doesn’t have a chance, but the time has not come yet.
Look at this gifted child born for the sword, he is simply the template for the future first disciple of their Tianxuan Sect!
The elder of Tianxuan Sect was in a very good mood.
Unexpectedly, the black-clothed youth with a natural sword intention withdrew his hand from the test stone. His handsome eyebrows and eyes were calm, but he looked in Chu Qi's direction and answered, "Aqi and I are from the same sect. You can just ask him."
Hearing Yan Jiuge's words, Chu Qi, who was standing still, had his eyelashes trembled, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
It turns out that in this life, regardless of talent, Yan Jiuge will still be in the same sect as him.
It was not an unintentional act, but a deliberate one.
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The immortals looked at Chu Qi eagerly, expecting his choice.
The two chosen ones have a deep friendship. Not only do they climb the bluestone stairs together, they even want to join the same sect.
Doesn't that mean that one immortal sect can monopolize two of the proud sons of heaven? !
There is such a good thing in the world! I don't know which immortal sect is so lucky.
Under so many eager gazes, Chu Qi said what was in his mind.
"I want to join the Tianxuan Sect."
He wanted to go to the Sword-Wen Peak of the Tianxuan Sect to watch Yan Jiuge practice swordsmanship again and make up for the time he had wasted in his previous life.
"What?!"
Upon hearing Chu Qi’s words, the elder of Tianxuan Sect was the first to exclaim!
He really had never imagined that there actually would be a cultivator with wood spiritual roots willing to go to the Tianxuan Sect to endure the hardships of practicing swordsmanship.
"My young friend, the Tianxuan Sect is full of sword practitioners. It is not a good place for medical practitioners! Don't act on impulse, choose the best." The elder of the Qingling Sect was heartbroken.
"Yes, there are not many suitable medicinal fields in Tianxuan Sect. With your talent, it is more appropriate for you to study medicine than swordsmanship. You can't go into the sword path." Fuyao Palace hurriedly advised him.
The Beast Taming Sect had previously said that medical practitioners were not suitable for fighting, but the elders of the Tianxuan Sect stopped them by saying that "the medical practitioners of the Tianxuan Sect can beat the sword practitioners of other sects with swords", and they could not think of any other words of advice for a while. Only the little white tiger that was "given as a gift to the sect" howled aggrievedly.
Even Yan Jiuge was shocked. He frowned and said disapprovingly, "You want to join the Tianxuan Sect? But the wood spirit root is not suitable for learning swordsmanship."
Chu Qi insisted, "Tianxuan Sect also has medical practitioners. Medical practitioners can learn some basic sword techniques."
However, not only is it extremely difficult for medical practitioners to learn swordsmanship, it also does not bring much benefit to their cultivation.
Just when Yan Jiuge was about to persuade Chu Qi, he heard Chu Qi's soft voice saying with great yearning -
"I also know that practicing sword in Tianxuan Sect is hard, but the cultivators holding swords are heroic and I like such sword cultivators very much."
When saying this, Chu Qi's face revealed a suitable longing, and he also substituted a little dream from his youth.
Yan Jiuge was silent: "..."
The words I wanted to say to persuade him came to my lips, but for some reason I couldn't say them. Instead, my heart was in turmoil.
If he went to another sect, would Chu Qi no longer like sword cultivators? No, he might miss the sword cultivators of Tianxuan Sect every day!
How could this be possible
Yan Jiuge lowered his hands, his fingers unconsciously stroking the hilt of the magic sword at his waist, and a surge of emotion rose in his heart for no reason.
Instead of letting Chu Qi worry about him all day long, it would be better for me to become Tianxuan Sect’s swordsman!
