Chapter 78

  Only within the jade disc, a faint cyan light appeared at the core point, initially like a blade of green grass, it immediately transformed into a cyan glow, continuously spreading outwards, and the color became increasingly pale.

  In the end, the entire jade pendant presents a very light green color, warm and peaceful, as if it were covered with only one layer of green gauze. Although it is light and hazy, it is still a pure and uniform color, without any flaws...

  "The jade pendant has no impurities! Could it be another single-spirited root?"

  "This Xuzi Qing is also a single-spirited root! And it's even rarer, a single wooden spiritual root!"

  "This year's Dispersed Cultivation Alliance actually has two Single Spirit Roots!"

  "When did you have so many Single Spirit Roots? It's truly unbelievable!"

  "This time, San Xiu Meng took the top spot, leaving us with no face to show for our great sects..."

  Unlike the feeling brought by Su Xun just now, Su Xun is astonishing, but after all, it has been purified by Chiyan fruit. But this unknown "Xu Ziqing" is different, and his name has never been heard before. As soon as he appeared, he was so shocking that people couldn't help but discuss him.

  Moreover, Xu Ziqing's spiritual root was a genuine, innate single spiritual root!

  Tang Wens' eyebrows moved: "Xu Xiaoyou is a single spiritual root talent, he should be holding the Green Ruyi Scepter, not the White Ruyi Scepter."

  Xu Ziqing spoke humbly: "I was tested once before and found to be of the lowest quality. I didn't know the truth, so please forgive me, Senior Tang."

  Tang Wenfei sneered: "I don't know what kind of method it is, but it's really ignorant and superficial!" When speaking to Xu Ziqing, his voice was slightly softer, "Forget it, you can go sit with your little friend. You two are both from the Scattered Cultivators' Alliance, I suppose it's easy for you to talk."

  Xu Ziqing smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Senior Tang." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked to the right.

  Unlike Su Xingna's fiery personality, he walked with a calm and composed demeanor, his words and actions were warm and elegant, making people feel gentle and approachable at first sight.

  Xu Ziqing sat down beside Su Xun and immediately punched him on the shoulder.

  Su Xun laughed and scolded: "You actually kept this from me, Brother Zi Qing, you're not very righteous!"

  Xu Ziqing shook his head and smiled: "I really don't know, where did I deceive you."

  Su Xun raised an eyebrow: "Even if you didn't deceive this one, you deceived others. Tell me, who determined that your talent is inferior? It's so rash."

  Xu Ziqing sighed softly: "Past events have involved many people, I've long forgotten. It's not that I'm unwilling to talk to you, but rather I don't know where to start..."

  Su Xuan didn't really want to dig up old matters, just joking around. He only smiled and said: "Now that our Loose Cultivation Alliance has made a big splash, Brother Zi Qing, those so-called prestigious sects have always looked down on us, but now look at their faces, it's truly delightful!"

  Xu Ziqing glanced at him and smiled: "Ah Xian younger brother don't be too showy, Tang is still watching."

  Su Xun then restrained himself a little, but the joyful color between his eyebrows and eyes was not concealed.

  Today, I saw two more single-spirited roots, both from the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. The proud sons who had previously been somewhat envious now have unknown thoughts. As for the other sects' dispatched masters who came to protect and hold, they have different minds and many considerations.

  Among them, the most impressive are the Xu siblings, with Xu Ziting being the most notable.

  When Xu Ziqing stood up to test her spiritual root, she had already recognized it.

  At that time, the contradiction between the Tian family and the Xu family began to intensify. The people of the Xu family still had no idea that they would end up in such a disadvantageous position, nor did they know that the Tian family had been harboring wolf-like ambitions for a long time, waiting for the right moment to destroy the Xu family.

  Xu Ziting was rescued by a young man in a green shirt in the secret realm, and he thought that he would be able to find him at the Xu family's place, but unexpectedly, after returning home, the young man's figure had already disappeared. After searching for a while, just as the head of the Xu family, Xu Zhengtian, was about to investigate within the clan, the Tian family suddenly attacked, and this matter was gradually put aside.

  Unexpectedly, I met the young man in green again on this Wulong Peak.

  Xu Ziting finally saw the young face, and indeed, he was as handsome and gentle as his temperament. But she never expected that the young man would be Danmu Linggen!

  This made her wonder in her heart, whether the young man was actually not a member of the Xu family, and had deceived them with lies from the beginning, or if the Xu family had lost such a talented person without realizing it.

  And these three words "Xu Zi Qing" were also very familiar to her.

  Similarly, there was also Xu Ziting's elder brother Xu Zifen, who also remembered this name. Although the impression had become somewhat vague, he could still recall that someone had taken a young boy named "Xu Zi Qing" hostage to coerce him, and for the sake of family interests, he had abandoned him. Although he knew what he did was not wrong, it was not necessarily without any weight on his mind. The Xu family's people were killed by the Tian family, and Xu Zifen was present but could only abandon them, which also made him feel incompetent.

  Now that I think about it carefully, the young man's impression is indeed similar to Xu Ziqing. Could it be another opportunity? If so, he let go of a rare talent who could revive the family for no reason. The person who misjudged Xu Ziqing's qualifications back then must be severely punished!

  But were these two Xu Ziqing actually the same person?

  The two siblings each had their own thoughts, and there were a few complicated emotions in their expressions.

  The two exchanged a glance, and Xu Ziting transmitted the news of being rescued from the secret realm to his older brother. Xu Zifen's brow furrowed slightly, and he felt that the possibility was even greater... However, after all, at that time, he had abandoned Xu Ziqing, causing his dantian to be crippled. Now, he had joined the Scattered Cultivators' Alliance and was even friends with the young master of the alliance... It seemed that it would be extremely difficult to win him back now.

  Regardless of what Xu's siblings thought in their hearts, Xu Ziqing didn't have too many thoughts.

  Su Xuan and Xu Ziqing's identities have been determined, and they are not as anxious as the other cultivators. Now, all they need to do is wait for the spiritual root testing of the crowd to end, and then they can enter Tenglong Peak together.

  After a while, Tang Wenfeng had finished looking at all the spiritual roots. Except for Xu Ziqing's unexpected situation, there were no other special cases among the remaining cultivators.

  But it's already great that there can be an exception. He showed a hint of a smile, stood up and said: "Thank you all for your cooperation, we can enter the Tenglong Peak immediately."

  The monks also stood up, they were originally afraid that there would be more tests, and their hearts were hanging in the balance. Now it seems that this is not the case, just a routine matter, and they let out a sigh of relief.

  Tang Wenfei continued, "Those who are not chosen by the spiritual root for entry, their traveling masters cannot enter the peak, so let's part ways here."

  Among the crowd of monks, many masters with cultivation above foundation establishment walked out and stood behind a few people on the right side. Peng Changlao and Wu Changlao originally planned to go back together, but since Xu Ziqing had only one Wooden Spiritual Root, they could all stay instead.

  Xu Ziqing's unexpected move brought joy to both Peng Changlao and Wu Changlao.

  Those high-ranking cultivators who walked out bid farewell to their fellow sect members, and then set off with the wind, leaping onto the cloud path. The cloud path lifted them up and quickly took them far away.

  Those who stayed looked at Tang Wenfei, quietly waiting for what was next.

  Tang Wenshan smiled: "If you have a beast pet, it's best to have some contact with you, otherwise I'm afraid it can't enter the Tenglong Peak."

  As soon as this was said, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

  Xu Ziqing's face turned red, and upon hearing these words were directed at himself, he snapped his fingers in anger.

  Suddenly a strong gust of wind swept through the air, and a black shadow swiftly pounced down. The black shadow darted to Xu Zi Qing's front and stopped.

  It's Xu Ziqing again!

  Everyone looked over and saw a majestic golden eagle standing on Xu Zi Qing's right shoulder, its proud appearance was truly admirable.

  Xu Ziqing also composed himself and said apologetically: "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Tang."

  Tang Wenshan nodded slightly and said, "Don't move, everyone. I'll perform the technique now."

  Everyone nodded, and in the next instant, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. All people seemed to be drawn into a very dark place. The walls around were hard, but when they reached out to touch them, they seemed to be nothing at all.

  Suddenly someone shouted: "This is 'Sleeve Universe'! Tang's profound and esoteric magic!"

  Xu Ziqing was also astonished, could it be that they were now in Tang Wenzhou's sleeve? He also tried to touch the "wall", and indeed it was soft and flexible, similar to fabric. However, it was also smooth, and when he knocked on it with his hand, there seemed to be a metallic sound.

  Such a spell, involving hundreds of people at once, I really don't know what kind of cultivation can achieve this.

  The proud son had only been in the sleeve for a moment, and it seemed like just a few breaths later, he felt that it was already broad daylight. Following which, his feet were unstable, and he had fallen from the windless sleeve to the ground.

  Raising his head again, a grand hall appeared before him, as if carved out of a single piece of smooth giant rock, with not even a thread of seam!

  What a wonderful work! It's really a masterpiece!

  Before one can fully express their astonishment, the grand doors are wide open, revealing a spacious interior hall. The furnishings and decorations are all in an ancient style, simple yet dignified, exuding an air of grandeur without any hint of vulgarity.

  Inside the hall, there are countless long tables, divided into two sides on the left and right. In the middle, there is a main seat, and in front of it, there are also long tables set up, with sizes and styles that are no different from those on both sides.

  Tang Wen flew into the inner hall and went straight to the main seat. He lifted his robe and sat down first.

  Many monks saw that there were seats arranged in the hall, but they did not take the initiative to go forward.

  Tang Wenfei said first: "Please let the younger friends take their seats, Xu Xiaoyou will sit on the right side of the second seat. The rest of you, please take your seats."

  Dan Linggen's talent was superior, and he was treated differently. The other cultivators had no complaints to make. Su Xuan took the first seat, while Xu Ziqing sat on his left. And next to Xu Ziqing sat Xu Ziting.

  Xu Zifeng took a step back and sat down cross-legged on the cushion behind her younger sister.

  The distance between the seats is not far, and Xú Zǐtáng, due to her two spiritual roots, doesn't feel out of place sitting here. Although Xú Zǐqīng has some admiration for Xú Zǐtáng, seeing her rush over like this makes him feel a sense of unease in his heart. It seems she's coming for him.

  And Xu Ziting indeed rushed towards him.

  As soon as Xu Ziting sat down, she turned her head and spoke softly: "Brother of the clan, two years ago you saved my life, why did you leave without saying goodbye? I searched everywhere for you but couldn't find you, I really don't know how to thank you."

  Xu Ziqing looked at Xu Ziting, his expression also somewhat complex.

  In the Xu family, he had a pretty good impression of both Xu siblings. Xu Zitang was proud but not unreasonable, and Xu Zifen was determined and capable. Even though Xu Zifen abandoned him for the sake of the family, but later benefited from misfortune, he also got to know Yun brother and incubated Chonghua, so it was just a disappointment, and there wasn't much resentment.

  But now I'm in this situation and met with two people...

  Heaving a sigh, Xu Ziqing said gently: "Miss Ziting, if you have any questions to ask, then go ahead and ask."
