517 Forcibly Accepting Apprentices
Lin Feng and Ye Tianming came to the place where the birthday party was held that day when they arrived at the center of the village. They saw that there were already people around, but a space of about ten meters was empty. Everyone was afraid to squeeze in, for fear of offending the "Immortal".
When he came to the back of the crowd, Lin Feng looked inward and saw that the village chief Li Yashan was with a respectful look beside a young man in white with an arrogant expression. The young man in white had a bit of grace in dress, but his face was narrow and long, looking a little awkward, which was commonly known as the "horse face". And behind him was actually carrying a long sword, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a sword cultivator. Lin Feng heard someone around him talking about just now that the other person flew over on the long sword, and his words were full of awe and envy. When the young man in horse face heard these words, he clearly showed a hint of pride, as if he was enjoying this feeling.
At this time, I heard Village Chief Li respectfully say to the young man with horse face: "You are tired from the journey, so why not go into the house and have a tea and rest for a while. Some children in the village go out to play, and it will take some time to call back. Then the apprenticeship test will be conducted..."
The young man with horse face looked impatient, waved his hand and said, "No need!! You can only bring all children aged five to fifteen to me within half a quarter of an hour! After choosing this place, I have to go to the next place! I don't have time to waste with you!"
"This..." Village Chief Li's expression stopped, as if he wanted to say something else, but when the young man with horse face glanced, he shivered immediately and had to obey, "Okay... OK, I'll ask someone to look for it right away."
The young man with horse face said again: "Don't waste time. All qualified children present stand up and test their spiritual root qualifications!"
Following his orders, there was a small commotion in the crowd. The children who were playing outside rushed to find the children, and most of the children present rushed to the front, with expectations and excitement in their eyes, hoping that their children could be selected as the "Immortal Sect".
Seeing that the "Shangxian" was so anxious to accept disciples, Village Chief Li did not dare to raise objections, but the old master Li next to him seemed a little anxious, and finally couldn't help asking: "Shangxian...Shangxian, I have something to ask... I wonder if the Supreme Immortal knows my younger brother Li Shousong? He was admitted to the Danhun Sect ninety years ago. Why... didn't come with you this time? He... is so good now?"
"Li Shousong?" The young man with horse face was slightly stunned, then he showed an unknown smile and said lightly, "He... I know, he died in a trial not long ago."
"What!!"
His faint words made the crowd around him suddenly burst into flames. Village Chief Li and his family were as if struck by lightning. In particular, Old Master Li staggered and almost fell down. After being held back by others, he recovered and asked excitedly: "How could it be... Shousong... how did he die?!"
"If you die, you are dead! There are so many reasons! I'm not here to tell you all this nonsense!" The young man with a horse face snorted coldly, flipped his right hand and took out a spiritual root test crystal from the object-taking ring, raised his hand and pointed to a five or six-year-old boy in front of him, and said, "Start the test now! You! Come here! Put your hand on this crystal and concentrate!"
Outside the crowd, Lin Feng frowned slightly. Village Chief Li and others did not dare to doubt what the "Super Immortal" said, but he could see that the young man with horse face was simply lying.
In the field, the child pointed at by the young man on horse face was obviously frightened and hid in the mother's arms behind him. His mother comforted him a few words, and then led him to the young man on horse face. The child was also curious and soon became less afraid. He obediently held the test crystal in both hands, stared at the crystal very seriously for a while, but no reaction was found.
"No spiritual root qualifications! Next!" The young man with horse face showed a look of 'as it was indeed', reached out and took back the crystal, signaling the next child to step forward.
"No qualification, next!"
"No, next!"
"The lower-grade mixed spirit roots have no future...the next one!!"
"Next!"
“…”
In just a short moment, seven children completed the test, but none of them passed the test. The parents of these children were extremely disappointed, and the young man with horse face seemed to be a little disappointed and became more and more impatient.
Finally, even the children who were not here before were brought over. After all, there were fourteen people, but only one ten-year-old girl was tested for the qualification of low-grade wood spirit roots, and was "barely" approved by the young man on horse face to enter the sect.
It has been a great blessing for the villagers to produce a qualified one, which is rare in decades. The girl's family is extremely excited, but the young man on horse face is very cold. He was about to put away the test crystal and accidentally glanced into the crowd. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and pointed at the two children in the crowd and said, "You, you and you! It seems that he hasn't come to test it, right?"
He pointed out that the parents of the two children were both shocked. The mother of the boy about five years old said in a panic: "Go... Immortal, my child is still... a few months away from turning five, so... no need to test it, right?"
That being said, basically everyone can see that she doesn't want her children to take the test, which is not surprising. The villagers said before that "most" hope that their children will enter the "Immortal Sect", which means that there are "small" people who don't think so. After all, once the children enter the Immortal Sect, it means that they may never see them in the future. Both parents are reluctant to let their children leave themselves, so they don't want this opportunity.
"Stop talking nonsense!! Come here quickly!!" The young man with horse face turned cold and a sense of pressure came out of his body. Although his cultivation level was only in the middle stage of the Golden Pill, ordinary mortals could not bear it. The parents of the two families immediately turned pale and sent their children to the young man with helplessness and fear.
The first child held the test crystal without any response; but when the last five-year-old boy hugged the crystal, a bright red light emitting from the crystal.
Even Lin Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise. The young man with horse face even wiped out his impatience before and said in surprise: "The best-grade fire spirit root!!"
Unexpectedly, in this remote village where there was no expectation, I could meet a child with high-quality spiritual root qualifications. This trip was really not in vain. The young man with horse face was overjoyed. He looked at the five-year-old boy and said, "Very good! You and the girl just now, follow me back to the sect!"
When the boy heard this, the boy's parents were suddenly panicked. They thought that even if they tested their children, they would not be selected. Unexpectedly, the child's mother looked at her husband at a loss. The child's father looked at her struggled, and finally he mustered up the courage and said, "Grand, the immortal... My Qiqi is too young, and we really can't bear to part with him... Can you... Can you not enter the immortal gate?"
The little boy seemed to understand something. He retreated back into his mother's arms in fear and whispered: "Mom... I don't want to leave you, I don't want to go with him..."
This situation was beyond everyone's expectations, and the scene became quiet for a moment. After all, Li Yashan was the head of a village and knew the situation of this family. He hesitated for a moment and spoke carefully: "Supreme immortal, since..."
"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, the young man with horse face snorted coldly, "It was his convincing practice to join my sect after several years of cultivation! He has no qualifications to refuse! Come with me!!"
Qi Qi's parents suddenly looked desperate, Qi Qi was even more frightened by the momentum of the young man on horse face. He started crying with a "wow" sound, and the villagers around him also started to talk in a low voice. The scene was a little confused for a moment.
