Chapter 72 – Two Sects Contesting (Third Shift Requesting Subscriptions)
Chapter 72 – Two Sects Contesting (Third Shift Requests Booking)
“Actually, I’ve known for a long time that the chances of me awakening a high-quality Spiritual Root are too low.”
After Huo Shengwu left, it didn’t take long for him to return.
Just like many ordinary innate martial artists, the spirit root he awakened was only the lowest quality one-star lower grade.
With such a spiritual root, it could be said that it was much harder to cultivate immortality and become a Taoist.
Moreover, what he had awakened was still a single metallic spiritual root.
“It’s just these few days.”
Seeing Huo Shengwu’s appearance, both Shang Baoyi and Liang Wei also shook their heads.
Before coming to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, they still held a glimmer of hope.
But now, that sliver of hope, there was already just a little bit of residue left.
Then, two more days later.
Liang Wei also awakened her spiritual roots.
It was just that the quality of the Spiritual Root she awakened was similarly a one-star lower grade.
It was only slightly better in terms of attributes, being a water and wood dual attribute spiritual root.
Two more days then passed.
Li Chaofeng and Shang Baoyi both, simultaneously contained and awakened their spiritual roots.
Huo Shengwu and Liang Wei followed the two of them and traveled together to be tested.
The two of them did not leave the Immortal Ascension Pavilion immediately after they had awakened their spiritual roots, but were prepared to wait for Chen Fan and the others to awaken their spiritual roots as well before making plans.
If the spiritual roots awakened by several people were not good, it was just right that they could embrace the group and develop together.
As for Chen Fan, he continued to wait quietly as before.
Not long after, Li Chaofeng and Shang Bao Yi, together, rushed back.
Li Chaofeng was still the same as before, not much expression could be seen.
On Shang Baoyi’s face, however, there was excitement flashing through.
“Well?”
Chen Fan opened his mouth and asked.
“I was lucky enough to harbor the awakening of a four-star lower grade spiritual root of the fire and wood attribute.”
Shang Baoyi could not suppress a smile on his face as he said, “It’s just a pity that I wasn’t able to worship the five great Immortal Sects and instead joined the Bao Yun Chamber of Commerce.”
“Bao Yun Chamber of Commerce? That’s not bad at all!”
Chen Fan was a little surprised.
There were more than just the five Immortal Sects that recruited disciples in Ascension City.
Some small and medium sized forces that had Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivators sitting on their side would also pick up some disciples that the Five Great Immortal Sects did not want and recruit them.
As far as Chen Fan knew, the Bao Yun Chamber of Commerce, was a medium-sized force that had seven or eight Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivators sitting around.
It was not bad for Shang Bao Yi to join the Bao Yun Chamber of Commerce.
“Brother Li, what about you?”
Chen Fan looked at Li Chaofeng.
“Metallic two-star lower grade spiritual root, and it’s one True Star and one Void Star.”
Li Chaofeng shook his head and said.
Chen Fan did not know how to comfort Li Chaofeng.
Such a spiritual root qualification was definitely not considered good.
As for True Star and Void Star, there was not much difference.
The True Star was the star level of the Spiritual Root that Li Chaofeng himself had cultivated.
The Void Star, on the other hand, referred to his achievements in martial arts, which had played a role in harboring his spiritual root, allowing him to harbor an additional star of spiritual root.
It was only because he had only just awakened his spiritual root, and the additional spiritual root he had awakened through his martial arts aspect had not yet been thoroughly integrated.
However, he only needed to wait for a short period of time, and the extra spiritual root he had awakened would be completely integrated into himself, not distinguishing between reality and reality.
“Brother Chen, when you awaken your spiritual roots, remember to call me, I’ll go with you.”
“I’ve just obtained a cultivation technique that suits me after testing my spiritual root, I’m going to switch to cultivation as an Immortal Cultivator now.”
Shang Baoyi looked at Chen Fan and said.
“Going together is not necessary, it is still important for you to convert your cultivation technique.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
It was not only Shang Baoyi.
The two of them, Huo Shengwu and Liang Wei, had each obtained a basic Immortal Cultivation Technique two days ago.
Now the two of them had already turned into Qi cultivators of the first level.
“This …… is also good.”
Seeing this, Shang Baoyi did not say anything more.
From the beginning to the end, Chen Fan gave off the feeling of being superior.
It was so in the Blood Abyss Continent.
It was also true when he came to the Immortal Cultivation World.
He was already used to this.
It was just that what he didn’t expect was that Chen Fan would still be so calm after learning that he had awakened a four-star inferior spiritual root and worshipped the Bao Yun Chamber of Commerce.
“Brother Li, you should also go and switch your cultivation technique.”
Chen Fan looked towards Li Chaofeng.
“Good.”
Li Chaofeng nodded and did not say anything more.
Afterward, several people went back to their own rooms.
At this moment, especially Huo Shengwu and Liang Wei, both had complicated emotions.
Previously, when the several people came here together from the Blood Abyss Continent, there was a natural affinity between each other, a kind of camaraderie of being from the same hometown.
But as each of them awakened different qualities of spiritual roots, this cordiality, this homeland friendship, was vaguely cracked.
It was as if from now on, they were no longer people of the same world.
“Is this a spirit root?”
The next day, after Chen Fan got up in the morning, a movement in his heart made him feel different from before.
This difference was as if he had turned into a tree.
The tree was able to draw energy from the sunlight.
Whereas at this moment, he seemed to be able to draw energy from the void.
“It’s time to test my qualifications.” A trace of anticipation arose in Chen Fan’s heart.
He had continuously wished for more than twenty days to enhance his Spiritual Root Qualification.
Although twenty-odd days was not much, it should be of some use.
Coupled with his achievements in martial arts, he would not be at the bottom of the list, right?
With that in mind, Chen Fan got up and headed towards the main pavilion of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion.
It was still early in the day at this time.
Li Chaofeng several people had not yet gotten up, and of course perhaps they were practicing.
“Huh? Chen Fan? You guys would actually leave that hut of yours?”
“Could it be that you’ve awakened your spiritual roots?”
On the road, a martial artist who knew Chen Fan was slightly stunned when he saw him.
“Just about to go and test it.”
Chen Fan nodded with a smile.
“Good luck.”
“Will do.”
Chen Fan nodded with a smile and arrived at the main pavilion of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion without slowing down.
At this moment, in the main pavilion of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, a dozen or so Immortal Cultivators were seated at the top.
They were all the people in charge of recruiting disciples for the major powers.
Normally, the Immortal Ascension Pavilion was rotated by the major powers.
It was only during this period of time, when it was the major powers that had opened the Immortal Gate widely, that each power had sent someone over.
“Two star lower grade earth and wood spirit root, pick a cultivation technique that suits you and go.”
Chen Fan walked into the hall just as a martial artist who had awakened his spiritual root was finishing his test.
It was just a pity that the spiritual root awakened by this martial artist was only slightly better than Li Chaofeng.
It could not be looked at by the major Immortal Sects.
As Chen Fan entered, this martial artist also lowered his head and left.
“Come over here, just place your hand on the spirit measuring stone.”
Seeing Chen Fan come in, an Immortal Cultivator who was in charge of the test, pointed to a round stone in front of him that was suspended over a spell formation and spoke gently.
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he was still a little nervous when it really came to this moment.
After all, this was related to his future path of Immortal Cultivation.
He took a step in front of the Spirit Measuring Stone, and his gaze fell on the stone in front of him.
This Spirit Measuring Stone took on a semi-transparent milky white color, and there was a faint glow flowing within the stone, which looked quite magical.
Chen Fan extended his palm and gently pressed it against the surface of the Spirit Measuring Stone.
The moment he touched the Spirit Measuring Stone, he felt a cold air current coming out from the stone, traveling along his arm and all over his body, as if he wanted to inspect his body inside and out.
Immediately afterward, the Spirit Measuring Stone began to glow.
At first, it was just a faint spot of light.
But soon, the faint points of light, converged a little bit.
When the points of light converged to a certain extent, these points of light began to rapidly converge inward.
Seeing this scene, the dozen or so Immortal Cultivators in the hall all had their gazes flickered.
There was something odd about this kind of vision.
In a normal Spiritual Root Test, the points of light that surfaced on the Spirit Measuring Stone would not start out weak and then increase a little bit.
Rather, it would directly reach a certain level and then undergo internalization.
“Brush!”
Suddenly, just as the gazes of one Immortal Cultivator converged, the color of the points of light that had been internalized into the Spirit Measuring Stone began to change continuously.
From the initial white color it gradually turned into gold, green, blue, red, and yellow.
In the end, the five colors even fused together completely.
“Five elemental attribute spiritual roots?”
An Immortal Cultivator opened his mouth in astonishment.
Having all five attributes was very rare in the Immortal Cultivation World.
“The quality of the spiritual roots is five-star lower grade, with three true stars and two imaginary stars.”
“The Void Stars are not a big problem, it shouldn’t take long for them to metamorphose into True Stars.”
“Although it looks a bit old, its martial cultivation has reached the Innate Perfection Realm, and after switching cultivation, it can start at the fourth level of qi cultivation, and it may not be without a glimmer of hope to build a foundation in the future.”
An Immortal Cultivator swept over Chen Fan with his divine sense, a hint of satisfaction on his face.
He then spoke, “According to the rules, this time it is our Qingyang Sect’s turn to choose the disciples first, do you all have any opinions?”
Five star inferior spiritual root, plus all five attributes, as well as the cultivation of the innate perfect realm ……
Even if it was placed in their Qingyang Sect, Chen Fan, this time, was enough to be ranked at the top of all the initiated disciples.
“Count on your Qingyang Sect picking up a bargain.”
The Bi Bo Island disciple shook his head.
In fact, he also wanted Chen Fan, but unfortunately, according to the rules, this time it was the turn of the Qingyang Sect to pick the disciple first.
Unless he was willing to pay a certain price, he could exchange Chen Fan for him.
But a Chen Fan, obviously did not have this qualification yet.
“Here.”
“Give up.”
The disciples of the Dan Yun Sect, and the Heavenly Heart Valley, also shook their heads successively.
A smile appeared on the faces of the disciples of the Qingyang Sect.
“Wait!”
Just at this moment, the disciple from Cangwu Mountain, however, suddenly waved his hand and said, “We at Cangwu Mountain will take this person, and I will exchange the preferred selection qualification for the next two rounds.”
“Tsk, Fellow Daoist Xu, you think so highly of this person?” The Dan Yun Sect’s cultivator opened his mouth in surprise.
“After all, he is a spirit root with all five attributes, and his spirit root qualification is not bad, plus he is at the Innate Perfection realm, so he must have come out of the Blood Abyss Mystery Realm, I want to take him into the sect to see how he will perform in the future.”
The Cangwu Mountain disciple was nervous in his heart, but on the surface, he did not move and opened his mouth lightly.
He had once read an ancient book on which there was a description of the vision when Chen Fan had just tested his spiritual root, so he guessed that what Chen Fan had awakened was most likely not a five-star lower grade spiritual root.
Rather, it was a very rare quality of spiritual root.
It was just that this quality of spiritual root was too rare, and he didn’t dare to be sure whether his guess was true or false, and could only wait for Chen Fan to be brought back to the sect before the Sect Leader could make a determination.
