“…Why is the common name more like the scientific name than the scientific name?” Lu Yang complained in a low voice.
"Because the first senior with pure yang spiritual roots called his own spiritual roots single spiritual roots." Yun Zhi's cultivation was unfathomable. Lu Yang's whispered complaints were no different from speaking in her ear, and she could hear them clearly.
Yun Zhi paused, and then continued: "The cultivation world has a habit of respecting single seniors."
It seems that saying this sentence more often can make it more persuasive.
Meng Jingzhou naturally passed the first level, and after Meng Jingzhou it was Lu Yang.
"Huh?! Another single spiritual root?!" Dai Bufan's pupils shrank slightly. He was just complaining that he had been busy for most of the day and hadn't encountered a single spiritual root, but now there were two in a row.
"Me, a single spiritual root?" Lu Yang pointed at himself, his heart pounding. He felt like he was hallucinating, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"Yes, you have a mutated single spiritual root, the sword spiritual root." Dai Bufan nodded affirmatively. He had never made a mistake in feeling his root bones.
Sword spirit root, born sword species, unstoppable, the most powerful attack!
Senior Sister Yunzhi looked at Lu Yang with a little surprise. She agreed to ride in the carriage just out of casualness, but she didn't expect that the two people in the carriage were both top cultivation geniuses.
Everyone's eyes became more and more eager, and they began to consider finding girls of the right age for Lu Yang, wishing they could kidnap Lu Yang and marry him into the power behind them.
Unlike Meng Jingzhou who has the support of the Meng family, Lu Yang is obviously of mortal origin and has no one to support him.
With great talent and no power, he is simply the best candidate for marrying into the family.
The most important thing is to be able to get married and have children!
Lu Yang felt that everyone was looking at him strangely, so he quickly entered the second level.
Behind Dai Bufan is a bamboo forest, and the second level takes place in this bamboo forest.
"How is it, what kind of spiritual root are you?" Meng Jingzhou quickly walked out of the shadow of being single and asked Lu Yang with great interest.
So what if he is single? There are many dead bones on the road to becoming an immortal. Women are nothing but beautiful skeletons. He doesn't need beautiful fairies to accompany him!
On the contrary, although Lu Yang was able to pass the first level, it seems that there is only one person in the class with such extraordinary talent as himself, and Lu Yang is only at the level of double spiritual roots.
As a peerless genius with a single spiritual root, he should care about mediocre geniuses.
"Sword Spirit Root."
"Your grandmother."
"Huh?" Lu Yang was confused.
Another half day passed, and the people at the back of the queue gradually entered the second level, and Dai Bufan eliminated those whose roots did not meet the standards.
Listening to the discussion of the people at the back, it seemed that a few people with special physiques had appeared. Before they had time to inquire about the specific situation, Senior Sister Yunzhi appeared in front of everyone, lightly said "Now let's start the second level", and then disappeared, leaving everyone puzzled.
Thick fog gradually rose, like smoke and waves, vast as water, like a huge gauze net covering everything in the bamboo forest.
Everyone subconsciously wanted to struggle, but it didn't help much. They felt weak all over and their consciousness gradually sank.
This is an illusory bamboo forest, part of the sect protection formation. How could they resist it
Yunzhi casually drew a circle to disperse the fog, making room for a disciple from the Dao Sect to stand behind her.
Dai Bufan chuckled and said, "Being trapped in the bamboo forest of illusion will make them forget their identities, the test, and everything else, and they will react in the most authentic way. I just don't know how many people can pass the second level this time."
"I hope more people can pass. There are quite a few good candidates in this batch. It's a pity that they failed at the second round."
Yunzhi has never kicked Meng Jingzhou and Lu Yang out of the test because the test questions Meng Jingzhou got were not from this year, but from twenty years ago.
“I don’t know which elder sold it.”
"Brother Dai, who do you think can pass the second level?"
"Of course it's the ancient barbarian tribe. The ancient barbarians are famous for their simple hearts and their nature is beyond doubt."
"I think the bachelor's spiritual root and the sword's spiritual root are also good. He looks like an honest man."
Yunzhi thought of the scene where Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were discussing how to cheat in the carriage, and felt that neither of them could be considered honest people.
…
"Where am I?" The strong man from the ancient barbarian tribe was named Man Gu. He looked around in confusion, forgetting what had just happened.
He was standing by the river, holding a tattered axe. The river was sparkling and looked very beautiful.
Mangu's hand slipped and the old axe fell into the stream. Just as Mangu was about to fish it out, he saw bubbles gurgling from the stream. The bubbles became more and more numerous and bigger, and a fountain emerged. A fairy-like figure appeared, with three axes of different styles floating in front of him.
"Young man, I am He Ling. Was that the worn-out axe you just dropped, or the spiritual weapon Mountain Splitting Axe, or the immortal weapon Heaven Splitting Axe?"
The spiritual weapon Mountain-Splitting Axe and the immortal weapon Heaven-Splitting Axe are two famous axes in the Central Continent. Even a mortal without talent can soar to the sky and become a giant once he obtains these two axes.
Man Gu blurted out: "It's an old axe."
He Ling smiled and said, "You are such an honest young man. I will give you all three axes."
Man Gu passed the second level.
"Look, I said that Man Gu would definitely be able to pass the second level. Let me see how the single spiritual root and the sword spiritual root were chosen." Dai Bufan watched with great interest.
The second level tests honesty, and the passing standard is to obtain three axes.
The river spirit is not an illusion. He was born in the small river surrounded by bamboo forests and is a creature born and raised by nature.
He transformed himself into countless incarnations, entered the illusion, and tested everyone.
The river spirit likes honest people. There is only one way to pass the second level, which is to answer the river spirit's questions honestly and let the river spirit give you three axes.
…
"Huh? How did the axe fall into the river?" Lu Yang was a little puzzled. He felt like there was an inexplicable force forcing him to drop the axe.
He Ling reappeared and gently asked Lu Yang: "Young man, I am He Ling. Was it this worn-out axe that you just dropped, or this spiritual weapon, the Mountain-Splitting Axe, or this immortal weapon, the Heaven-Splitting Axe?"
Lu Yang squatted down, his eyes swept through the three different axes, and looked up at He Ling as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person, with pity in his eyes: "Two of the axes are yours, don't you know which two axes you have, and you're asking me?"
He Ling's smile froze. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just followed Lu Yang's words and said, "I really don't know which two axes are mine."
Lu Yang looked at He Ling warily: "If I choose an axe, don't suddenly regain your memory and say you remember which two axes are yours."
"Absolutely not." He Ling said solemnly.
"Show me all three axes."
He Ling handed all three axes to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang immediately threw the axe into the river: "Can you ask the question again?"
He Ling asked reflexively: "Was that a worn-out axe you dropped just now, or a spiritual weapon, a mountain-splitting axe, or a fairy weapon, a heaven-splitting axe?"
Lu Yang smiled and said, "I dropped all of them."
He Ling: “…”
He Ling gritted his teeth and said, "You are such an honest young man. Then I will give you all three axes."
