Chapter 142 Fairy Waste 4
In front of Wuling Mountain, there is a huge stone archway with the words "Xuanyue to govern the world" written in the middle.
This is not an exaggeration. There are at least tens of thousands of Taoist temples in Da Qi, but the state teachers have always been served by Taoist immortals from the four immortal mountains.
Therefore, whenever it is time to register, the Four Fairy Mountains have the most applicants.
Only those who have signed up can go up, and everyone else is waiting outside.
There were sedans and carriages parked outside, with children or parents and relatives waiting anxiously.
Xining walked around the waiting people and took a closer look. He saw that the queue was very long, at least hundreds of people, and more people were coming.
Then get in line!
If you look around, you will see that they are basically children between five and ten years old. The older they are, the later they start. The best age is six or seven years old, and twelve is the limit.
It is indeed a fairy mountain. From time to time, there are immortals sitting on white cranes and wielding swords, whizzing to the top of the mountain.
They were all people from a family that cultivated immortals, and they brought their juniors to sign up. Naturally, they did not need to queue up and flew directly to the top of the mountain to be assessed by elders at at least the Nascent Soul stage or even the Mahayana stage.
People from aristocratic families often have better spiritual roots. Those who encounter single or mutated spiritual roots are the targets of competition for the elders.
Of course, comparing people to each other is infuriating. For ordinary people, just wait in line.
At the front of the team, there were three disciples in the foundation-building stage. Two of them were sitting in front of a wooden table. On the wooden table was a spiritual ball, which was specially used to test the spiritual roots. The other person sat next to him, and if he had any spiritual roots, he would write down his name, age, origin, and whether he had any teachers.
After writing, the children with spiritual roots will be waiting nearby, while those with five spiritual roots can leave directly.
"Wow~" A child was found to have no spiritual roots and ran back to his family crying.
Without spiritual roots, the path to immortality is cut off. But not everyone has spiritual roots. After waiting for so long, seven out of ten children tested have no spiritual roots.
After waiting in line for an hour, we finally arrived in Xining.
The Foundation Establishment disciple in charge of the test was too lazy to talk, and everyone saw it while queuing up. Put your hands on the ball. If it is a golden root, pure golden light will emit from the ball; if there are other spiritual roots besides the golden root, other colors will appear in the golden light.
Wood is green, water is blue, fire is red, and earth is khaki.
If there is no spiritual root, the ball will not shine and the person can leave.
Xining walked up and put his hands on it. The ball glows!
The children behind her were very envious because this girl had spiritual roots. But why is this light so gray and dark, different from other spiritual roots?
The foundation-building disciple finally spoke: "Five Spiritual Roots..."
He hesitated for a moment: "Trash!" He also looked sideways at the senior brother beside him.
Another foundation-building disciple glanced at it: "Yeah, trash. Five-spirit-root trash is rare. I haven't seen one in the past five years."
It immediately attracted a burst of ridicule. Everyone has a middle-grade three-spirit root, and the worst five-spirit root can be considered a low-grade one. The other spiritual roots are all upper, middle, or lower grade, and only the five-spirit root is a waste at the end.
The life of this body owner is really gone!
Xining said calmly: "It doesn't mean that you can pass if you have spiritual roots. It is said that there are people who can become immortals with five spiritual roots."
There are indeed people who have cultivated the five spiritual roots by chance. Anyway, there are few people with spiritual roots this time and they are too lazy to talk nonsense.
So he said: "Then go to the side and register."
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!" Xining bowed his thanks and went to the side to register. "What's your name and where are you from?" The disciple next to him picked up the brush, dipped it in the ink on the inkstone, and pointed it at the registration book.
Xining thought for a while: "My surname is Xi, my name is Ning, my parents are both dead, and I have been wandering for many years."
It's better to use Xi Ning, I don't want to use the body master's name to my death. Wang Erya, what an enchanting name.
There is no need to ask if the Wulinggen waste has a teacher. Which blind fellow Taoist would accept such a waste disciple. You must know that in Da Qi, all immortal cultivators are specially registered, and it is difficult for the charlatans to survive.
The disciple looked at her and said, "She is dressed cleanly, and she doesn't look like an orphan." The most important thing in recruiting a disciple is her origin and origin. If her origin is unknown, you need to ask clearly.
Xining said expressionlessly: "It's not difficult to wash clothes. I just picked up this set of clothes and kept them for half a year just waiting for today."
The disciple asked again: "Why did you choose Wuling Mountain?"
Xining said calmly: "It's so close, I can only go so far, and I can't go any further."
The first time I heard the reason was that she was close, but looking at a girl with no friends, it was not easy to get here.
He also changed his clothes specially, and the shoes on his feet were much bigger, almost dragging them around. He seems to be a sensible and measured person.
So the disciple wrote: "Wait next to the selected candidates."
"Thank you, Taoist Master!" Xining bowed and went to the side to wait. Four children with spiritual roots were already standing there.
The child who had just laughed at him now showed an envious expression. No matter what kind of spiritual root he had, even if it was trash, he still had spiritual roots and could go into the mountains to practice with the immortals.
Idle time was idle. The four children chatted, but no one paid any attention to Xi Ning. A useless person with five spiritual roots, he probably came here just to replenish his balance.
The children in the back, whether they were wearing ordinary clothes or wearing gold and silver that looked like they belonged to a wealthy family, all stepped forward to test. There are still few people with spiritual roots. After a while of burning incense, another dozen were tested, and only one was of low grade with three spiritual roots.
Floating leisurely from the fairy mountain, a fairy ship about two feet long flew down.
This caused everyone to look up and marvel!
Standing on the boat was a Taoist priest carrying a five-foot sword and wearing a Taoist robe. Standing on the boat and looking at the five children waiting, they frowned slightly: "Why are there so few people?"
The disciple who was sitting in the register picked up the registration book and gave it to the Taoist priest: "Uncle Li, this is the situation of five people. Mainly from the other three mountains, we recruit more people once a year, and there are other sects that are even willing to spend money to grab the most powerful ones."
Taoist Li looked at the registration list, and found that his qualifications were all average, but there was actually a useless Five Spiritual Root. The disciple he recruited this time seemed to be out of this world.
Fortunately, the disciples from the aristocratic families recruited directly from the top of the mountain are the main ones. These children from ordinary families are just to serve as companions.
Go up the stairs on the ship and stand on the ship. Li Daoshi still stood at the bow of the boat and shouted: "Get up!" The boat took off immediately.
The children on the boat were so frightened that they immediately sat on the board!
After a while, You carefully moved to the side of the boat, held the side of the boat and looked down.
The boat quickly entered the clouds and mist, surrounded by white, and quickly rose from the clouds and mist. Suddenly the top of the fairy mountain was revealed to the eyes of the people on the boat!
It was a majestic Taoist temple with palaces stacked on top of each other. There were long overhead bridges connecting the top of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Various flowers, plants and trees were planted everywhere, including many exotic flowers and plants. It was as beautiful as a fairyland. This is the Wuling Temple on Wuling Mountain, where the selected children practice and study.
The boat stopped at a side courtyard, and Taoist Li asked five children to follow him off the boat and walk to one of the small halls in the side courtyard.
