In the only open space in the village, a group of children looked nervously at the young man in front of them, with uneasy expressions.
The young man glanced at all the children and said in a calm tone: "Line up one by one and come here to get tested. If you pass the test, you can pass."
Due to the invisible aura exuding from the young man's body, the children just hid their joy and excitement in their hearts and did not express it. At this moment, these naughty eggs changed their normal behavior and obediently followed the young man's instructions and formed a long line.
Team.
Upon seeing this, the young man magically appeared a strange stone in his hand, and then placed it on a stone table.
This stone is about the size of a head, with a stripe pattern carved on its surface, and it looks like ditches carved out on the surface of the stone.
I don’t know how the young man managed to hide such a large stone on his body without showing any trace at all. And considering the size of the stone, would it be possible to carry it around without being exhausted?
Of course, a group of children didn't know what this stone was. They just felt that the young man in front of them was really awesome, and they must become such a person in the future and have a good time!
But Mo Ye, who was at the end of the queue, looked at the stone with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.
The young man's name is Shi Qingfeng, and he is just an ordinary outer disciple of the Yueshan Sect. However, even such an outer disciple has given him great care. It is precisely because of Shi Qingfeng's help that he is facing difficulties in the Yueshan Sect.
He stayed there for a long time. It can be said that Shi Qingfeng was Mo Ye's great benefactor.
It's a pity that senior brother Shi Qingfeng in the previous life also died in that disaster...
"Senior Brother Qingfeng, I, Mo Ye, will repay you in this life!" Mo Ye secretly made up his mind.
Without Shi Qingfeng's help, he might have been cut off from the path of cultivation in his previous life, let alone the decisive battle with Wang Yishan more than ten years later. If he didn't even know how to repay this kind of kindness, then who would he be?
As he was thinking about it, a cry of exclamation came to Mo Ye's ears, bringing him back to reality. He looked forward intently, and saw a little fat man pressing his hand on the stone, and the stone was emitting a sound.
There was a faint white light.
"What's going on?" The little fat man looked at the stone in front of him blankly and asked in confusion.
At this time, the young man's faint voice rang out: "You are qualified, stand on my right side!"
The little fat man heard this and finally knew that he had passed the test. He smiled happily and said, "I can become more powerful!"
After saying that, he jumped to the right side of the young man. He was the only one in this generation, so he seemed so prominent.
The group of children standing to the left of the young man looked at the little fat man stupidly. How could this little fat man be chosen?
They have all passed the test, but they all ended in failure. Now that the little fat guy has successfully passed the test and is about to become famous in the future, why are you not jealous?
Now, the children present finally understand the secret of this test. It turns out that as long as the stone can be made to shine, it will be considered qualified!
Mo Ye silently looked at the stone whose spiritual power fluctuations had not completely dissipated, feeling calm in his heart.
That stone is a spirit-testing stone, which can detect whether a mortal has spiritual roots. Only those with spiritual roots can feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and embark on the path of cultivation.
However, spiritual root owners are too rare. On average, only one or two people among thousands of people carry spiritual roots. Therefore, if these sects want to discover new disciples, they can only screen them through this method.
Shi Qingfeng is very satisfied now. Although he is only a low-grade eighth-grade spiritual root, he is already very good. You must know that he has visited hundreds of villages in the past few days, but in most of them there is not even one
No spiritual root carrier could be found.
Choosing a new disciple still depends on luck. If he is lucky, there may be two or three children with spiritual roots in one place. If he is unlucky, he will have to go through all the areas he is looking for and it will be difficult to find even one.
"Next!" Shi Qingfeng hopes that another child with spiritual roots will appear here, so that he will receive more rewards after returning to the sect.
…
In the blink of an eye, except for Mo Ye and Mo Yue, all the other children have been tested for spiritual stones. But unfortunately, among them, only the little fat boy from before has been tested for spiritual stones, and none of the other children have.
Spiritual roots.
"Next!" Now, the expectations in Shi Qingfeng's heart have faded. He also knows that this kind of thing is impossible. It would be great to have a child with spiritual roots in such a place.
After hearing this, Mo Ye walked up quietly and put his hand on the spirit-testing stone.
The surface of the spirit-testing stone suddenly emitted a faint white light, which was even brighter than when the little fat man tested it before.
Shi Qingfeng's eyes suddenly lit up. Although a low-grade sixth-grade spiritual root has the lowest qualifications in the sect, it is very rare to encounter it in a place like this.
"I just thought about it randomly before, but I didn't expect it to come true now. It seems that I can get more rewards this time!" Shi Qingfeng was very happy. Every time he found a child with spiritual roots, he could get more rewards.
The rewards will be greater. People like him who have no backers in the sect can only earn cultivation resources in this way.
"What? Even if the little fat guy succeeds, why can he do it too?" All the children felt grievances one after another, but in front of Shi Qingfeng, they didn't dare to show it and could only stare at Mo Ye hatefully.
Mo Ye had a calm look on his face and didn't take the attitude of these children to heart. After two lifetimes, his character was no longer comparable to that of his peers.
"Fortunately, the spirit stone test can only test the spiritual root aptitude. Otherwise, if the cultivation level was tested, it would be difficult for me to explain!" Mo Ye said with some joy in his heart.
"Brother, it's my turn!" Mo Yue was so happy when she saw her brother succeeding that she hurriedly ran over.
"Well, come on, Yue'er, you will definitely succeed!" Mo Ye encouraged with a smile.
Mo Yue also has spiritual roots, so Mo Ye naturally has nothing to worry about. Moreover, her qualifications are countless times better than his own!
Mo Yue walked to the spirit-testing stone nervously, and with the encouragement from Mo Ye's eyes, she gently put her hand on it.
However, the spirit-detecting stone did not show any reaction after Mo Yue put down his hand.
"Did you fail?" Mo Yue felt a little disappointed, "But I really want to go out with my brother!"
Suddenly, the originally silent spirit-detecting stone burst out with a dazzling light, and all the children present quickly closed their eyes to avoid being hurt by this light.
However, there was one exception, and that was Shi Qingfeng. His eyes were full of shock when he saw the abnormal behavior of the spirit-detecting stone.
"This... this kind of abnormality is at least a middle-grade fifth-level spiritual root or above! My God, I really got lucky this time!" Shi Qingfeng said in shock.
People with this kind of talent can probably become inner disciples as soon as they enter the sect. In addition, they also have masters who teach them step by step and have a lot of sect resources. As long as this kind of person does not fall halfway, he will definitely become an inner disciple in the future.
Become a strong person.
The light gradually dissipated, Mo Yue opened her eyes, blinked at Mo Ye, and asked: "Brother, have I succeeded?"
"Well, Yue'er, you succeeded! Moreover, you are the best!" Mo Ye said with a smile.
"Yeah! I can be with my brother now!" Mo Yue threw herself into Mo Ye's arms and said happily.
Sure enough, he was still a child! Mo Ye looked at Mo Yue in his arms with a smile on his face.
"Village Chief, I will take these three children back to the sect." Shi Qingfeng said with a smile.
He is in a very good mood now. Not only did he find three children with spiritual roots here, but the little girl's qualifications are also ridiculously high. The rewards he received just for finding the little girl may have exceeded his expected income this time.
That’s the total.
"Okay!" How dare the village chief refuse to agree? He turned around and said to the three children behind him, "Children, you are lucky to be able to enter the Youyue Mountain Gate. You must cherish this opportunity and study hard in the sect. You guys
It will definitely become more dazzling in the future, but you must also remember that this will always be your home!"
"Grandpa Village Chief, I understand!" The little fat man and Mo Yue's eyes were red. After all, they had grown up here since they were young. They would definitely not be able to adapt to leaving suddenly.
"Xiao Ye, you are the oldest, you must take good care of them from now on!" the village chief told Mo Ye again.
"I got it, Grandpa Village Chief!" Mo Ye was still relatively calm and just sighed in his heart for a while.
"Okay, let's set off!" After Shi Qingfeng finished speaking, he took Mo Ye and the others aboard the Gray Feathered Eagle. There, there were about a dozen children of similar age to them, all of whom were selected by Shi Qingfeng from various places.
Children with spiritual roots.
"Get to know each other, let's go to the next place!" Shi Qingfeng said, returning to the head of the gray-feathered eagle. The next moment, the gray-feathered eagle spread its wings and flew into the sky.
"Hello, my name is Li Zhi, from the Li family." A fourteen-year-old boy walked towards Mo Ye and the others.
The young man is dressed in luxurious clothes, has fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and looks very handsome.
"Brother Li Zhi, hello!" Mo Ye nodded to him and introduced himself, Mo Yue, and the little fat man. After several long conversations, they became familiar with each other.
"Brother Li, were you also selected through the test?" Suddenly, the little fat man asked curiously.
"Test? My qualifications have been tested in my family. Because an elder from Yueshanmen planned to accept me as a disciple, he asked Senior Brother Qingfeng to send me there so that I could appear here." Li Zhi said,
There was a look of pride on his face.
"Brother Li, you are so awesome!" the little fat man said with admiration on his face.
"Okay, Brother Mo, Xiaopang, I want to find a place to practice now, so I won't talk to you anymore. Yue'er, you want to come to my Li's house to play when you have time in the future!" Li Zhi said and found a place.
He sat down cross-legged and began to practice.
A trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth flowed into Li Zhi's body from all around. Mo Ye felt it, and there were already fluctuations of spiritual power in Li Zhi's body. In other words, Li Zhi had also opened up a spiritual orifice and practiced
Developed his own spiritual power.
Mo Ye looked at Li Zhi who was immersed in cultivation, a coldness flashed in his eyes.
