The fifty-eight people who passed the first level test are still queuing up in the same order as before and taking the spirit pillar test in turn.
Three stars, two stars, one star, four stars...
Those who had reached the first level and were destined to become outer disciples did not fare so well in the second test of the spirit pillar. The vast majority of them only hovered between one and four stars.
It wasn't until that delicate and pretty girl appeared that the first outstanding result appeared: six stars!
"What's your name?" asked the middle-aged Taoist who was conducting the test.
"Murong Xue!" the girl replied.
"But the Murong family from Cangnan County?"
The girl nodded.
This is easier to understand. The Cangnan Murong family was originally a family of immortal cultivation. Although it has declined in the past hundred years and has not produced any outstanding figures, the foundation of the cultivation family is still there, and it is still possible to cultivate a few clan members with slightly better qualifications.
After that, until Wang Yin came on the court, no second outstanding person appeared.
Wang Yin was full of confidence at this moment. Relying on the convenience that his cousin Wang Jin had been an inner disciple of Yunhai Sect a few years ago, Wang Jin had combed Wang Yin's meridians in advance and privately taught Wang Yin some methods of absorbing spiritual energy. This was equivalent to cramming at the last minute and temporarily improved the various attributes of Wang Yin's body.
In addition, Wang Yin’s own qualifications may not be bad, so taking several factors into consideration, it is effortless for Wang Yin to cope with this selection test.
If luck is part of strength, then connections, resources, and seeking help can also be part of strength. Although Wang Yin was secretly helped by Wang Jin, others were neither aware of the truth nor able to find fault.
"Six stars! My name is Wang Yin!" Wang Yin tested out six stars and was extremely proud. After all, this meant that he was already a guaranteed inner sect disciple.
Ma Tao tested it out as four stars, but he was not too disappointed.
After all, he had already obtained the qualification of an outer disciple of Yunhai Sect. After a few years of hard work and diligent cultivation, he still had the opportunity to be promoted to an inner disciple. In practice, there were many examples of outer disciples being promoted to inner disciples.
The fat guy tested it out as four stars. Although it was a bit disappointing, on second thought, I, Hu Lai, am at least an outer disciple, so I should be happy!
The little fat boy thought to himself, after all, I don't have to go back to inherit the family property. With my little fat boy's mobility, it won't be difficult for me to become an inner disciple in a few years. The little fat boy suddenly thought it through. He was happy and fat. How could he be fat if he wasn't optimistic?
The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at the changes in the fat boy's expression. He couldn't help but admire the boy for being so open-minded and not easily happy or sad.
Sakura tested out five stars, which made everyone's eyes light up.
The number of female disciples that Yunhai Sect has recruited over the years has always been small, and the number of female disciples with good qualifications is even smaller, so Xiaoying is as eye-catching as Murong Xue. With this temporary identity of an inner disciple, her future practice in the sect will be relatively smoother.
Yuanxiao was still the last one to go on stage. Based on his final feeling during the first test, there was very little spiritual energy left flowing out of his left hand. Yuanxiao estimated that he had absorbed at least 80% of it.
Given Yuanxiao’s amazing performance in the first test just now, everyone is now alert and wants to see what kind of results this kid can get in the second test?
Yuanxiao walked up to the spirit-testing pillar and slapped his hand on the jade slab.
The middle-aged Taoist who presided over the test finally had a more complex expression.
Are you kidding me? It's actually 10 stars!
Could it be that the spirit-testing pillar is broken?
Absorbing spiritual energy is impossible without loss. At the same time, during the first test, it is impossible for no spiritual energy to flow out of the left hand at all. Otherwise, if it could not receive any spiritual energy, the hammer bead of the left hand Lingxi hammer would not light up.
Wang Yin’s eyes were about to pop out at this moment. What kind of monster did I provoke?
However, Wang Yin has always been a ruthless person, so he is not afraid at this moment.
Wang Yin thought: Now we are all ordinary people without any cultivation, and there is no difference between us. After becoming an inner disciple, I will practice hard and keep my cultivation level higher than Yuanxiao.
Besides, he has his cousin Wang Jin to help him. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will teach Yuan Xiao a lesson. Of course, if he can kill Yuan Xiao secretly, that would be even better.
Wang Yin has been domineering since he was a child and has never been someone who is willing to suffer losses.
The elders on the stage all had incredible expressions on their faces at this moment. Not to mention the candidates who had just joined, even the old guys like them who had practiced for hundreds of years could not absorb 100%.
Not to mention 100%, even 90% is difficult to achieve.
The others just felt it was strange, but the fourth elder, who was dressed in black and carrying a spirit-eating marten, had an idea in his mind.
Could it be that this kid had a spiritual weapon or magic weapon on him? Or perhaps he had been in contact with a spiritual weapon or magic weapon for a short period of time, resulting in residual spiritual energy on his body, which allowed the spiritual pillar to sense spiritual energy in addition to the test spiritual flow, thus exploding ten stars.
Maybe this kid really has some secrets. After I get to know him, I must find a chance to find out.
The fourth elder, Tianchou, possessed average talent. Since luckily entering the Foundation Establishment stage, his cultivation hadn't improved at all in the years since, remaining stagnant at the initial stages of the foundation building process. He was arguably the weakest elder among all the elders of Yunhai Sect.
Therefore, the fourth elder Tianchou has always had a sense of crisis. If a new foundation-building cultivator emerges among the inner disciples of the sect, it is hard to say whether he can keep his position as an elder.
In addition, he also holds the right to manage the Spirit Beast Garden, which might be taken away by someone else.
Since I can't practice hard on my own, I have to look for opportunities outside. This young man who made the Spirit Bead explode to ten stars may have some rare treasures, which may be my opportunity.
However, this matter cannot be carried out openly, it can only be carried out in secret! A trace of viciousness flashed in the eyes of the fourth elder, and he began to plan in his heart...
Not to mention the onlookers, Yuanxiao himself was stunned at this moment.
If you only absorb 90%, it is easy to understand.
After all, when Yuanxiao tested it for the first time, he felt that there was indeed very little spiritual energy flowing out of his left hand, but it was impossible to absorb it 100%.
Unless? Unless this spiritual energy already existed in Yuan Xiao's body. It wasn't the spiritual energy they released during the test, but the spiritual energy that Yuan Xiao's body already had.
Only in this way can it be explained, and only in this way can the spirit column detect 100% of the spiritual energy.
Even if Yuan Xiao has a lot of spiritual energy, if the spirit pillar can also have more star settings, it may show thirteen stars, fourteen stars, eighteen stars, twenty stars...
Because the total amount of spiritual energy stored in Yuanxiao may be several times more than the spiritual energy released during the test.
So where does this spiritual energy come from?
Yuanxiao didn't know. If I had to say one possibility, it might be related to the Apocalypse Pearl.
Yuanxiao often keeps the Apocalypse Pearl close to him, and what exactly is the faint mist swirling around the Apocalypse Pearl? Yuanxiao has not yet figured it out.
Could it be that these clouds and mists were related to spiritual energy? Had he already absorbed a lot of spiritual energy without realizing it?
Yuanxiao secretly decided that after a couple of days of free time, he would find a safe place to study the Apocalypse Pearl carefully.
Now he and Wang Yin had a grudge, and Wang Yin and his cousin Wang Jin were in cahoots, which meant he was also at odds with inner sect disciple Wang Jin. Wang Jin probably had his own cronies, so there might be quite a few who would cause trouble for him.
In addition, Wang Jin's master is the Fourth Elder. If he says anything bad about himself to the Fourth Elder, his situation in the sect will probably become even more difficult.
Yuan Xiao decided to stay alive for a while, first improve his cultivation and increase his life-saving methods. Only with life can there be a future, otherwise all ideals are nonsense.
If people are dead, what's the point of talking about ideals?!
Yuan Xiao suddenly felt something and turned to look at the Fourth Elder! The Fourth Elder quickly avoided his gaze!
Yuanxiao immediately became alert. This Fourth Elder was definitely not a good person!
