After the small episode of Xia Lingyue, there was nothing else that stood out. After all, Tianlinggen is a rare encounter in a thousand years, and being able to obtain an Yilingshen is already a blessing from heaven. Therefore, Ye Tianfan's situation became even less noteworthy, and he didn't have anything worth paying attention to either.
After half a day of testing, it was finally completed. The result was that except for more than ten people who were dual-spirited roots, all the others were triple-attribute spiritual roots. Even more than a dozen four-spiritual root holders were directly eliminated. After the test was completed, the sect master Mu Feng personally said a few words. He said: "My Wood Spirit Sect has seven mountain peaks. Except for the main peak where I am the peak master and sect master, there are six other peak masters next to me. You people with dual spiritual roots can freely enter any of the six peaks, as for the main peak, you will only have a chance when your cultivation improves. Of course, this exceptional spiritual root holder is an exception, because I have already decided to take her as my disciple." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for everyone's reaction and took Xia Lingyue away, obviously leaving the matters that followed to be handled by the six peak masters. Seeing herself being taken away, Xia Lingyue let out a cry of surprise, wanting to call out "brother", but before she could say it, they had already left the square far behind. Ye Tianfan wanted to stop them, but he didn't know if he could, and since he knew that the sect master was taking her away to let her cultivate as soon as possible, there was no reason for him to stop them. He just let her go, after all, he still had to compete in the trial to enter the sect.
After reaching the main peak, Tian Dao Feng, Zong Zhu Mu Feng put down Xia Ling Yu, who was angry and said: "Who told you to take me away without my consent? I haven't even said goodbye to my brother yet. My brother must be worried."
The sect master smiled wryly and said, "Others become my disciples and are already too busy showing respect, but you're still angry. I like it, otherwise the entire main peak would be too dull." He actually laughed out loud at the end. It's likely that the masters of other peaks will also be shocked when they see this, after all, since Mu Feng became the sect master, he had basically never smiled before. "Who cares?" Xia Lingyun muttered in addition.
The people below didn't pay much attention to the master's departure, but instead stared at Xia Lingyuan with envy and jealousy in their eyes. Xia Lingyuan was so scared that she quickly hid behind Ye Tianfan, who also quickly protected her like a mother hen protecting her chicks from being pecked by an eagle. However, just as Ye Tianfan did this, Xia Lingyuan had already disappeared, apparently taken away by the master.
As Ye Tianfan did this, he felt a few pairs of sinister eyes staring at him. Obviously, Ye Tianfan had been remembered with hatred by others. Ye Tianfan quickly looked over, after all, he himself was not afraid, but he feared it would be unfavorable to his own sister. So he quickly looked over and found that it was those few boys wearing luxurious clothes who possessed double spiritual roots. Ye Tianfan did not expect the few people's jealous hearts to be so heavy, the fierce light in their eyes flashed by, and he thought to himself, if they were just looking for trouble with me, then so be it, but if they looked for trouble with my own sister, then don't blame me for being impolite.
Those few young men in Chinese clothes saw Ye Tianfan's gaze and their hearts skipped a beat, not expecting Ye Tianfan's senses to be so sharp, his eyes were also very sharp. They felt an inexplicable sense of danger in their hearts. But thinking again, they thought that even if the feeling was sharper, what could it do? The cultivation base was only at the middle stage of foundation building, far inferior to their own later stages. Moreover, they had the help of their family, and dealing with a junior at the middle stage of foundation building was not something to worry about. Thinking of this, the few people's mood calmed down again.
Although the sect master has left, there is still this batch waiting to be dealt with. After discussing among themselves, the six people finally had the person with the strongest aura speak up: "I am the peak master of Jinling Peak, from my left to right are the peak masters of Shuiling Peak, Muling Peak, Huoling Peak, and Tuling Peak. As for the one on the far side, it's my sect's Danling Peak. Now, you dual-spirited root people can start making your choices. However, I hope you choose to join the mountain peak that matches your cultivation attribute. Of course, if you're interested in alchemy, you can also join Danling Peak. Just stand beside the peak master of the mountain peak you've chosen."
As soon as Jin Lingfeng finished speaking, more than a dozen people with dual spiritual roots immediately began to discuss enthusiastically, but there was no result.
"All right, make your decision quickly." Seeing that these people had been discussing for so long without a result, he instructed.
At that moment, people went to the place they thought was good in twos and threes. In the end, there were a few happy families and a few sad ones. The happy ones were naturally the disciples who chose their own mountain peaks, while the sad ones were those who chose the peak with fewer masters. Even Danling Peak only had one or two short and quiet people go there. Several peaks that received fewer disciples couldn't help but think that it seemed like they would be at the bottom of the ranking again in a few years' time when the new disciples competed, and their mood naturally turned bad. Only the master of Danling Peak's expression didn't change, apparently this wasn't the first time.
"Alright, don't be discouraged if you got fewer disciples. Aren't there still twenty spots for outer sect disciples? We can allocate a few more to you then." The master of Jinling Peak said with a smile. He was also in high spirits, after all, four new disciples had chosen to join Jinling Peak. Upon hearing this, the masters of peaks with fewer disciples felt much better, while those with more disciples didn't say anything further.
Then, Jin Lingfeng, the master of the peak, said to those who failed the test: "Don't be discouraged if you didn't pass, after all, there's still a chance. As long as you can enter the top 20 in the competition, you'll become an outer disciple." Suddenly, the large group of people below became confident and full of self-assurance, apparently very confident in their own abilities.
The tone suddenly changed, and the host of Jinling Peak said: "However, it's already late today, and you've been standing here for almost a day. You must be tired too. Let the sect disciples take you to rest. We'll start the competition early tomorrow morning. Remember to rest well and have energy for tomorrow's battle. Alright, go rest." After finishing speaking, he left with the other peak hosts.
As soon as the peak master left, twenty or thirty golden elixir stage disciples led the crowd to their respective residences. Ye Tianfan also followed one of them and the crowd to his residence.
Upon arrival at the residence, one could only see rows of small, low-rise houses made of stone bricks. A disciple who was leading the way said: "Because every few years we recruit new disciples, and this is where newcomers stay. After all, most people can only stay for a day or two, as those who are eliminated will be sent down the mountain immediately, while those who pass won't stay here anymore. So you'll just have to make do with one night, and as for who stays where, you can figure it out yourselves." With that, he left without waiting for anyone's reaction, busy with his own cultivation, as the competition in the sect was indeed fierce.
I heard that after the Jindan period cultivators left, they rushed to find a good place to live. Ye Tianfan also casually found a stone house and sat cross-legged in meditation. After all, cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you retreat. Of course, here "retreat" refers to others making progress in their cultivation, but you haven't cultivated or made progress, so relatively speaking, you have retreated.
