Chapter 19: Ups and Downs

  He felt that Ye Fei was the true spiritual root of the Five Elements' Great Perfection, and Yuan Cheng's first reaction was joy. However, he soon shook his head slightly and sighed: "Alas, what a pity! Such a genius, unfortunately, has damaged meridians, making it almost more difficult to lay the foundation than for false spiritual roots."

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei's face changed immediately, and looking at Yuan Zhizhi's expression, Ye Fei began to tense up.

  "This time, you're not qualified! Next one." Yuan Xing said expressionlessly and stopped paying attention to Ye Fei. And upon hearing this, Ye Fei also became somewhat disheartened.

  Since Qian Ya Sect doesn't want me, it seems that joining other sects is also unlikely. Now I have no background and no sect to learn magic from, seeking revenge is almost impossible.

  The most important thing is that at present, I only have three years of life left. As a loose cultivator, I basically can't get any good spells.

  "Is it going to end like this, after spending three years together? Is everything going to come to an end?" Ye Fei seemed to have seen the future, and he couldn't escape his fate, but he didn't know how to face his parents whose life or death was still unknown.

  As he thought, Ye Fei turned around, shaking his head with a bitter smile and walking away into the distance. And secretly made up his mind, absolutely cannot give up on himself, even as a loose cultivator, must find a way to build foundation within three years. The young man's face actually became determined.

  "Yao Dao, you friend? Please stay!" Just then, a voice that seemed somewhat familiar entered Ye Fei's slightly distracted ears. He turned his head to look and saw a youth in a green shirt standing beside Yuan Zhi Shi, he didn't know when he had appeared there.

  The youth in a green shirt looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and at this moment, he was smiling at Ye Fei.

  "Jin Zhe, old friend?" Ye Fei said with some surprise. It turned out that this young man in green was actually the Thousand Cliff Sect disciple they had just rescued from White Tiger's mouth after leaving Qian Duan Cliff.

  "Hey, Ye Daoyou, you've finally arrived. I was just attending to some guests at the inn earlier, sorry about that. Please wait for a moment." Jin Xuan said, leaning in close to Yuan Zhixia's ear.

  Seeing this, Yuan's brow furrowed slightly, clearly somewhat displeased. He was about to say something when a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It is unclear what Jin Xuan had said.

  A moment later, Jin Xuan finished speaking and stepped back to the side. Yuan Zhi raised his head and looked at Ye Fei in the distance, pondering for a moment before beckoning: "Alright, although you can't build a foundation due to your damaged meridians, becoming a nominal disciple isn't impossible either. After all, it's also thanks to Jin Xuan's lifesaving grace."

  Besides, some fake spiritual roots may not even be comparable to your ninth-level cultivation. Alright, this time you barely passed, in the future, make more effort for Qian Ya Sect." After finishing speaking, Yuan Zhi Shi continued to examine other people and ignored them.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei's face flashed with joy and he looked at Jin Xuan with gratitude. But before he could open his mouth to thank him, a cold and indifferent voice came over.

  "What's your name? Where are you from? Are there any direct relatives still alive?" Tian Yu asked. He stared tightly at Ye Fei, while Jin Xuan on the side didn't ask anything, and this shouldn't be a big deal anyway, just telling the truth would do.

  But Ye Fei's situation is different, and it's impossible for him to tell the truth.

  "In the lower leaves, no flowers bloom! And there are no relatives or friends." Ye Fei replied calmly.

  Upon hearing this, Tian Yu furrowed his brow in doubt and asked: "So there's no one here in Wu Hua Town who knows you? How can that prove your identity? What if you're a spy sent by another sect?"

  Ye Fei was also somewhat embarrassed, unable to speak the truth, but having only been in Wuhua Town for a short time, he didn't have any acquaintances. Even Jin Xuan beside him couldn't help but look puzzled.

  Just as Ye Fei was somewhat embarrassed, another familiar voice came out.

  "I can prove that he only has me as a friend in Wuhua Town, right Ye Daoyou?" A purple-robed youth said with a smile among the crowd of people who had passed the test.

  Three people looked around. A flash of unexpected color crossed Ye Fei's face. He nodded and said, "Not bad, in Wuhua Town there are no relatives, only Wan Feng is a friend. Usually doesn't go out much either."

  "Hey, actually, I also know this Ye Dao You!" Just as Tian Yu was secretly thinking about it, Wan Shi Tong Liu Gan suddenly came up with such a sentence.

  Upon hearing this, Tian Yu looked at the two of them and nodded: "Alright, since you're both familiar faces in Wuhua Town, there's nothing more to it. I'll just record this information, and you can go."

  Ye Fei let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this, this test was indeed full of twists and turns, even more intense than that day's battle with Hu Shuang.

  "Haha, alright, Ye Daoyou, after returning to the Dao Sect and undergoing a test, we will hold an initiation ceremony in the grand hall, and from then on, you and I can be considered fellow disciples!" At this time, Jin Xuan spoke up with a smile.

  "What? Another test?" Ye Fei couldn't help but feel a little speechless, this was almost enough to get himself eliminated, and going back to the sect would be even more strict. As he spoke, Ye Fei and Jin Xuan arrived beside Wan Feng and the others.

  "Haha, Ye Daoyou, do you think Qian Ya Sect will so casually take these people in? Now these people have only obtained the qualification to go to Qian Ya Sect for assessment." Seeing Ye Fei's worried look, Jin Xun smiled.

  However, Ye Dao doesn't have to worry either. The trial of returning to the sect is just a test of some people's strength and qualifications, so that they can be divided into different levels among disciples.

  However, even if it's inferior, you'll still get a quota for a nominal disciple. It also counts as being part of the Qian Ya Sect. It's just that the treatment isn't as good as that of an official disciple." Jin Zhe said with a smile.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei nodded in understanding. Indeed, a large sect like Qian Ya would not easily accept everyone into their ranks. It was common knowledge that only official disciples could practice the slightly better techniques within a sect, and on top of that, they also received spirit stones every month as benefits.

  Those nominal disciples could only learn some superficial magic, unless they made great contributions to the sect, in which case they would receive some spiritual stones or better magic as a reward.

  But named disciples generally don't have strong abilities, wanting to make a name for the sect is also not an easy thing. And as for the next test, who knows what it will be like.

  Jin Xuan chatted with the two of them for a while, then immediately returned to the inn, reportedly to entertain guests, presumably those from large families with some background.

  "Yao Dao, you're really unexpected! You actually know the disciple of Qian Ya Sect! Hehe, I said Yao Dao isn't an ordinary person!" At this time, Wan Shi Tong Liu Gan gave Ye Fei a somewhat flirtatious smile, causing Ye Fei's stomach to churn.

  "Hehe, just a coincidence!" Ye Fei simply responded with a sentence and didn't dwell on the topic.

  Seeing this, Wan Feng looked at Ye Fei with a somewhat unusual gaze, seemingly with a hint of envy, but didn't say anything. In such a sect, getting to know an older fellow disciple would definitely be of great help.

  And Ye Fei had previously obviously failed the test, but was passed after being spoken to by a disciple and Yuan Zhi Shi, it's clear that Jin Xuan's identity in Qian Ya Sect wouldn't be so simple.

  "Well, this time's trial selection in Wuhua Town has come to an end." Yuan Xing said somewhat impatiently as he finished checking the last person.

  At this time, Song Zhi Shi, the stout middle-aged man, had already finished checking the mortal team and asked Yuan Zhi Shi: "Don't we need to wait for Li Zhi Shi from Taoyuan Town to join forces before rushing on the road?"

  "Hmph, we're not lost, why walk with that old thing? We'll go our own way!" Yuan Zhi said coldly after hearing Li Zhi's three words.

  "Alright, we'll rest here for a day and hurry on our journey tomorrow." Song Zhi said to some ordinary human youths who had passed the inspection.

  After listening to Song's words, Yuan furrowed his brow and turned to glance at Qin Yi. The image of Qin Ye, Qin Yi's father, flashed through his mind, and he suddenly looked moved by some thought.

  "No need, we don't have to rest either. You and I can use the flying device to carry them, and there's plenty of time for them to rest on the way." Yuan said somewhat urgently.

  "What? Such a hurry?" Song Zhi had a puzzled look on his face. (End of chapter)
