Chapter 3: An Honest Man at First Glance

Chapter 3 An Honest Man at First Glance

“…… Why is the common name more like a school name than a school name?” Lu Yang spat in a whisper from behind.

“Because the first Pure Yang Spiritual Root senior called his spiritual root Single Spiritual Root.” Yun Zhi’s cultivation was unfathomable, and Lu Yang’s whispered spitting was no different from talking in her ear, and she heard it clearly.

Yun Zhi paused and added, “The Immortal Cultivation World has the habit of respecting single senior seniors.”

It seemed that saying one more sentence like this could enhance the persuasive power.

Meng Jingzhou passed the first level as a matter of course, and after Meng Jingzhou came Lu Yang.

“Hmm? Another single spirit root?!” Dai Bufan’s pupils shrunk slightly, just now he was complaining that he had been busy for most of the day and hadn’t even stumbled upon a single Spirit Root, but now there were two in a row.

“Me, single spirit root?” Lu Yang pointed at himself, his heart thumping, always feeling that he was hallucinating, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

“Not bad, you are a Mutated Single Spirit Root, Sword Spirit Root.” Dai Bufan nodded his head affirmatively, he hadn’t made any mistakes in touching the root bones.

Sword Spirit Root, born with a sword seed, sharp and most offensive!
Eldest Senior Sister Yun Zhi glanced at Lu Yang with slight surprise, she had agreed to take the carriage but was just being spontaneous, she didn’t expect that the two people on the carriage were both top-notch cultivation geniuses.

The eyes of the crowd became more and more eager, and began to count the young girls who were the right age for Lu Yang, itching to take Lu Yang captive to join the forces behind them.

Unlike Meng Jingzhou, who had the Meng Family at his back, Lu Yang was obviously of mortal origin and had no one behind him.

With excellent talent and no power, he was simply the best person to take into his family.

The most crucial thing was to be able to get married and have children!
Lu Yang felt that the crowd was looking at him strangely and hurriedly entered the second level.

Behind Dai Bufan was a bamboo forest, and the second level took place in this bamboo forest.

“How about it, what kind of spirit root do you have?” Meng Jingzhou quickly stepped out from the shadow of his single Spiritual Root and asked Lu Yang excitedly.

So what if he was a single spirit root, there were many withered bones on the road to immortality, female color was nothing more than a red-powdered skeleton, and he didn’t need any beautiful fairies accompanying him!
On the contrary, Lu Yang, although he was able to pass the first level, thought that there was only one session of such transcendent talent as his own, Lu Yang is also the level of double spirit root.

As a single spirit root absolute genius, he deserved to care for mediocre geniuses.

“Sword Spirit Root.”

“Your grandmother.”

“Huh?” Lu Yang was confused.

Another small half a day passed, and the people at the back of the queue entered the second level one after another, and Dai Bufan weeded out those whose roots and bones did not meet the standard.

Listening to the discussion of the people behind him, it seemed that a few more people with special physique had appeared, and before they had time to inquire about the specifics, Eldest Sister Yun Zhi appeared in front of the crowd, lightly dropping a sentence that said, “Let’s start the second level below”, and then directly disappeared, causing the crowd to be puzzled.

Thick fog gradually rise, such as smoke like waves, volatile like water, as if a huge gauze net to the bamboo forest all enveloped.

The crowd subconsciously wanted to struggle, but did not play much of a role, weak, consciousness gradually sinking.

This is the illusionary bamboo forest, it is a ring of the clan protection array, it is not something that the likes of them can resist.

Yun Zhi casually drew a circle, dispersing the mists and making a space, and the disciples of the Questioning Sect stood behind her.

Dai Bufan hemmed and hawed, “Getting caught in the illusionary bamboo forest will make them forget their identity, forget the test, forget everything, and react in the truest way, it’s just that I don’t know how many of them can pass the second level this time.”

“I hope more can pass, there are several good seedlings in this batch, it’s a pity to fold in the second level.”

Yun Zhi had never kicked Meng Jingzhou and Lu Yang’s out of the test, that was because the test questions Meng Jingzhou had gotten were not from this year, but from twenty years ago.

“I don’t know which Elder sold them.”

“Who does Senior Brother Dai think can pass the second level?”

“Naturally, it’s that Ancient Barbarian, the Ancient Barbarians are notorious for being simple-minded and unquestionable in their hearts.” “I see that Single Spirit Root and Sword Spirit Root are not bad either, at first glance, they are honest people.”

Yunzhi thought of the scene where Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were discussing how to cheat in the carriage and felt how both of them could not be related to honest people.

……

“Where am I?” The ancient barbarian strong man named Barbarian Bone looked around in confusion, forgetting what had just happened.

He was holding a worn out axe and stood by the river, the creek was sparkling and beautiful.

Barbarian bone hand slipped, worn axe fell into the river, barbarian bone just want to go to fish, see the river gurgle gurgle bubbles, bubbles more and more more and more bubbles more and more big, fountains upward, an immortal air fluttering fairy character appeared, in front of the floating three axes of different styles.

“Young man, I am the river spirit, you just dropped this worn out axe, or this spiritual weapon mountain axe, or this immortal weapon heavenly axe?”

Spiritual Weapon Mountain Opening Axe and Immortal Weapon Heaven Opening Axe, these were two axes that were renowned in the Central Continent, even for mortals with no talent, once they acquired these two axes, they could soar to the heavens and become giant-like figures.

Barbarian Bone blurted out, “It’s the worn out axe.”

River Spirit revealed a small smile, “What an honest young man, then these three axes will all be given to you.”

Brute Bone passed the second level.

“See, I told you that Barbarian Bone would definitely be able to pass the second level, let me see how the Single Spirit Root and Sword Spirit Root were chosen.” Dai Bufan watched on with interest.

The second level tested honesty, and the criteria for passing was obtaining three axes.

The River Spirit was not an illusion, he was born in the small river that surrounded the bamboo forest and was a natural born spirit.

He takes on countless forms and enters the illusion to test the people.

The River Spirit likes honest people, and there is only one way to pass the second level, which is to answer the River Spirit’s questions honestly and let the River Spirit gift three axes.

……

“Hmm? How did the axe fall into the river?” Lu Yang was a bit strange, he felt like there was an inexplicable force forcing him to drop the axe.

The River Spirit reappeared and asked Lu Yang gently, “Young man, I am the River Spirit, was it this worn out axe that you just dropped, or this Spiritual Weapon Kai Shan Axe, or this Immortal Weapon Kai Tian Axe?”

Lu Yang crouched down, his eyes swept through the three different axes, looking up at the River Spirit as if he was looking at a retard, his gaze tinged with pity, “Two of those axes are yours, don’t you know which two axes you have, and you’re asking me the other way around?”

The River Spirit’s smile stiffened, for a moment he didn’t know what to say, he could only follow Lu Yang’s words, “I really don’t know which two axes are mine.”

Lu Yang looked at the River Spirit warily, “Then if I choose an axe, don’t you suddenly regain your memory again and say that you remember which two axes are yours.”

“Absolutely not.” River Spirit said with conviction.

“Show me all three axes.”

The River Spirit handed all three axes to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang turned his hand and threw all the axes into the river, “You’re asking the question you just asked again?”

The River Spirit reflexively asked, “Was it a worn out axe that you just dropped, or was it a Spirit Weapon Mountain Opening Axe, or was it an Immortal Weapon Heaven Opening Axe?”

A smile piled up on Lu Yang’s face, “I dropped them all.”

River Spirit: “……”

The River Spirit gritted his teeth, “What an honest young man, then these three axes will all be given to you.”
