Hong Tao was still the one in charge of the testing in front of the mountain gate. As soon as Wen Miao and a few others landed, Hong Tao was shocked and hurriedly came forward to meet them.
"Greetings to the Grand Elder!"
Everyone bowed and shouted in unison. Lin Xiangtian also smiled fawningly and came forward to bow.
"I didn't know the Grand Elder would come in person. I, Lin Xiangtian, am sorry for not coming to greet you."
Including the guards, there were more than 50 disciples of Tianyan Sect in uniform who bowed together. Xie Jingshan, who was following behind, couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement when he saw this scene.
“How impressive!”
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the crowd, especially the boys lined up in the distance, and his heart was filled with ripples.
Among them, she saw the young Lu Nanzhi, with a cold face and an attitude that kept strangers away, and Shen Huaixi with a depressed face, frowning at such a young age.
Song Zhiang was also among them, looking sick and coughing constantly.
He Wangchen looked at Wen Miao with shining eyes, and while looking at her he nudged the person next to him with his elbow to talk to him.
besides…
Jiang Yuebai saw Ge Yuchan at the back of the crowd. She was short and had a very low sense of presence because she was forced to practice bone-shrinking skills.
All these people of her generation are here.
Finally, Jiang Yuebai set his sights on Lin Suiwan, who had just received the token in front of the Spirit Testing Stele.
When their eyes met, the Miss Lin, who had once looked down on her and sold her out, no longer had arrogance and contempt in her eyes. Instead, there was only cautious envy and a little jealousy caused by comparison.
However, Lin Suiwan knew that since she could stand behind the Grand Elder, her identity must be extraordinary, so he tried his best to suppress his jealousy, put on a flattering look, and smiled at her.
Exactly the same as Lin Xiangtian facing Wen Miao.
Jiang Yuebai smiled suddenly, and suddenly felt that the person whom she hated for a long time in her previous life was just like this.
A gentle breeze blew away the dust on Jiang Yuebai's heart, and the smile on Jiang Yuebai's face became brighter and brighter.
Wen Miao glanced at Lin Xiangtian casually. There were many Jindan Zhenren in Tianyan Sect, and Wen Miao seldom went out, so he didn't know Lin Xiangtian and just nodded symbolically.
Only then did Lin Xiangtian notice Li Jiuchuan behind Wen Miao, and suddenly realized that he could not see through Li Jiuchuan's cultivation level. Lin Xiangtian was shocked.
Li Jiuchuan has achieved a breakthrough and formed a fetus? !
This is incredible. Li Jiuchuan was very famous and powerful in the past, but he gradually faded out of sight because he couldn't form a baby. Now that he has formed a baby and returned, he will definitely become a popular figure in Tianyan Sect again.
Lin Xiangtian's eyes lit up, and he wanted to speak to get closer, but Wen Miao interrupted him and asked Hong Tao, "Have you collected all the disciples today?"
Hong Tao leaned forward and reported, "We have recruited 364 people, one more is missing."
"one?"
Wen Miao was in a dilemma and looked back at Xie Jingshan and Jiang Yuebai.
Every year when the mountain gate is opened to recruit disciples, Wen Miao has to calculate an auspicious number and accept people according to the number. This rule has been set, and she can't go against herself.
They had agreed to accept 365 students this year, but now there was only one spot left. However, he had two children, and Xie Jingshan had promised Xie Tianbao that he had to accept them.
Wen Miao couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuebai, and Li Jiuchuan's heart tightened when he saw this.
Jiang Yuebai was not nervous at all about this. In her previous life, she relied on Lu Xingyun, and in this life, she had to rely on herself. But no matter in the previous life or this life, from beginning to end, she was the extra one.
The person who was eliminated because of her was so innocent.
Accepting this calmly, Jiang Yuebai would not give up joining the sect. She walked out and said to Wen Miao in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Grand Elder, I already have some cultivation experience. It would be too unfair for me to compete with these junior brothers and sisters who have not yet entered the sect."
Wen Miao nodded approvingly, "That's true, but..."
Li Jiuchuan quickly replied, "This child is destined to be with me. I already treat her as my own daughter. How about treating her as the offspring of a sect disciple?"
In addition to recruiting new disciples every five years, the Tianyan Sect also has couples who form a Taoist partnership and give birth to offspring. These direct descendants can stay in the sect from birth, regardless of whether they have spiritual roots or not.
This is the case with Yun Shang. She was born in the Tianyan Sect and was born a disciple of the Tianyan Sect.
However, only direct descendants have this privilege, so Lin Suiwan still has to join the clan through normal channels.
Wen Miao scratched his forehead. This was the only solution for now.
Speaking of testing spiritual roots, Li Jiuchuan became nervous again. He knew that Jiang Yuebai had five spiritual roots, but he didn't tell Wen Miao. He originally wanted to test it secretly and hide it from everyone.
After all, people with five spiritual roots are easily looked down upon, and he doesn't want his daughter to be looked down upon. He even wants to tell everyone right now that this is his talented daughter who is only half a step away from refining the void at the age of 166!
Jiang Yuebai saw his master's embarrassed expression, pulled his sleeve and comforted him, "Master, don't worry, it's okay to test it."
Just like in his previous life, Xie Jingshan had a single fire spiritual root, with nine roots, which amazed everyone present.
When it came to Jiang Yuebai, Hong Tao saw the situation on the spirit-testing stele clearly and was stunned for a moment. He thought he had seen it wrong, or the spirit-testing stele was broken.
He glanced at Wen Miao and Li Jiuchuan, then slowly said, "Five spiritual roots, rooted... all eight."
Hearing this, Wen Miao frowned and looked at Li Jiuchuan suspiciously. Li Jiuchuan coughed and looked away, looking guilty.
"Good fellow, her spiritual roots and roots are exactly the same as yours. You just said that you treat her as your own daughter?"
"Hey~ It's just a coincidence, just a coincidence."
Li Jiuchuan had an awkward expression, but he was actually very happy in his heart. It was true that his spiritual roots and roots were all his.
Wen Miao glanced at Li Jiuchuan unhappily and whispered, "If I hadn't seen that your Yuan Yang was still there, I would have really suspected who you had this girl with. You treated her like your own daughter all the way."
“Ahem!”
Li Jiuchuan clenched his fists and pretended to cough, his cheeks slightly red.
Jiang Yuebai withdrew her hand from the spirit-testing tablet. She was already very satisfied with this root.
At least the five elements are balanced. She can learn all the skills she could learn in her previous life now. She doesn't need to find another skill to practice. It's just a little slower than in her previous life. She just needs to work harder.
Turning back, Jiang Yuebai's eyes suddenly met Lin Suiwan's. Lin Suiwan didn't know how rare it was for the Tianyan Sect to have five spiritual roots with balanced five elements, and that they were the existence that could receive the inheritance from the ancestor.
Lin Suiwan only knew that five spiritual roots were not as good as her three spiritual roots, and he was jealous of Jiang Yuebai before, but now there was an unconcealable pride in his eyes.
Jiang Yuebai shook his head slightly and didn't take her seriously at all.
The test of the new disciples' ascension to the immortal stage began. Lin Xiangtian came over again and tried to get close to him. Wen Miao yawned, said to Li Jiuchuan, "You have a good disciple," and disappeared.
Li Jiuchuan ignored Lin Xiangtian and took Jiang Yuebai directly into the sect.
Lin Xiangtian was rejected and stood there awkwardly. Hong Tao's disciples wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so they could only pretend to look away.
After the others walked away, Lin Xiangtian flicked his sleeves and left.
After joining the sect, Li Jiuchuan went straight to get Jiang Yuebai an identity token for an inner disciple, preparing to let her live with him in the Wanfa Hall temporarily. He would then choose a mountain, build a cave, and move there together.
After Li Jiuchuan joined the sect, he has been on high alert, using all his spiritual sense to guard the surroundings. He treated Jiang Yuebai like a thief, fearing that he would run into someone.
"Master, if you want to choose a cave later, can you choose Tianku Peak?"
Sitting on Li Jiuchuan's white jade bamboo slips, Jiang Yuebai suggested.
Li Jiuchuan looked around with a sharp gaze and said casually, "Why? Don't you think the words 'Sky Crying' are unlucky? I prefer Tianyou Peak or Tianwei Peak."
Jiang Yuebai said, "No, I think the words 'Sky Crying' are particularly powerful. Just think about it, 'Sky Crying, Sky Crying', it makes people cry every day, whoever comes will cry, it cries every day when it comes, isn't that powerful!"
Li Jiuchuan couldn't help but turn his head and smiled indulgently, "Heretical ideas, okay, I'll do as you say."
At the entrance of Wanfatang Valley, Jiang Yuebai met Qionglin Shanjun for the first time in his life. Li Jiuchuan introduced them to each other. Qionglin Shanjun was still the same as before. Because of Li Jiuchuan, he loved Jiang Yuebai and treated him very well.
Jiang Yuebai gave Danggui to Qionglin Shanjun and asked it to take care of and teach him.
"Let's go, settle down and have a good rest first, I will arrange your training matters tomorrow."
Li Jiuchuan brought Jiang Yuebai into Wanfa Hall, but unexpectedly, despite being on high alert, he bumped head-on into Zhao Fuyi at the door of Wanfa Hall.
