7: Chapter 7 Spiritual Root Attribute Test
Brothers, who gets this?
I came out of the bathroom and got harassed by a fake monk!
That fake monk is going to become the Zen Sect Buddha in the future, what do I do, ahhhhh!
After Su Yi subconsciously cursed at Shi Buran, he realized that the person in front of him was the future Zen Sect Buddha, so he immediately turned his head and ran.
Turning around to watch Su Yi's retreating figure as he fled in panic, Shi Buran, who had been stunned by the cursing, suddenly laughed.
The trace of a smile that appeared on his face, usually filled with compassion for the world, added a touch of liveliness to Shi Buran's face, which otherwise resembled a clay statue.
Su Yi, fleeing in panic, ran until he was out of breath, regretting that he really needed to change his habit of letting his mouth move faster than his brain.
He had actually dared to curse at the future Buddha. Upon realizing this, Su Yi was terrified that Shi Buran, who was a Buddhist spy, might suddenly take action and throw him off the flying ship.
When he ran to the plaza of the flying ship, he found that the dense crowd on board had mostly dispersed.
How long had he been unconscious? Where had they arrived?
Su Yi casually grabbed a Disciple and asked: "Brother, I overslept. Where are we now?"
"Let go..." The person whose arm was grabbed instinctively wanted to shake off Su Yi's hand, but when he saw Su Yi's alluring peach-blossom eyes, he couldn't finish his sentence.
In his eyes, Su Yi, who was holding onto him, looked pitiful and cute, like a startled little beast.
He couldn't help but soften his tone and said gently: "Little brother, don't worry. We have already arrived at the entrance of the Immortal Sect. From today on, we are both Disciples of the Immortal Sect, and in the future, we will live in harmony..."
"Blabbering about what? Thanks!"
Before he could finish, Su Yi shook him off and ran towards the bottom of the flying ship like the wind.
"Hey..." The new Disciple, who had wanted to warn Su Yi to be careful not to fall, felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of loss as he watched Su Yi's back.
It was as if his green, naive feelings had just sprouted only to be nipped in the bud.
When Su Yi walked to the exit of the flying ship, he found Gu Wanquan and the other four standing at the top of the stairs, delaying their descent.
Looking at the five Children of Destiny standing on the flying ship, Su Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As expected of the Children of Destiny! Just standing there, their art style was completely different from the NPCs.
Gu Wanquan, with a smile on his face and dressed in white.
Yin Chaoge, arrogant with closed eyes, dressed in black.
Wen Daoyi, cold and melancholy, dressed in green.
Xiao Tian, flustered and curious, dressed in martial attire.
Ling Yao, mischievous and cute, making a face at him.
Just by looking at them, the five of them could make a set of posters and merchandise.
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat. These five people hadn't disembarked yet; could there be a problem with this Sect?
Gu Wanquan, with a gentle smile, waved at Su Yi and said: "Junior Brother Su. What are you looking at? We were just waiting for you!"
"Ah? Waiting for me?" Being waited for by five Children of Destiny, Su Yi instantly felt flattered.
Gu Wanquan smiled and said: "That's right. Since we were all brought here by Senior Brother Zhang Huaixiang, naturally we should go report to the Sect together. Didn't Junior Brother Shi find you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yi finally realized that he had been overthinking.
These people were waiting for him because that guide, Senior Brother Zhang Huaixiang, wanted to take them to enter the Sect together!
So that future Buddha wasn't intentionally squatting at the bathroom door waiting for him to come out to catch his breath?
He had actually gone to specifically find him so they could disembark together!
Su Yi smiled awkwardly and was about to make up an excuse, but he saw Gu Wanquan look behind him and say: "Alright, we're all here. Let's go!"
Su Yi turned his head back, feeling a bit awkward, and happened to meet Shi Buran's calm and compassionate eyes.
Without waiting for Su Yi to apologize, Shi Buran walked straight toward the exit of the flying ship.
Watching Shi Buran treat him as if he were invisible, Su Yi wailed in his heart.
Disaster!
It's all because his mouth was too fast!
He hadn't even entered the Sect yet, and he had already offended a Child of Destiny!
As the six of them disembarked one by one, Su Yi followed at the very end.
When the group stood before the mountain gate of the Luoxia Immortal Sect, they couldn't help but be mesmerized by the fairyland-like scenery before them.
Even though he had seen enough of the immortal scenery in the game "immortal path" from his past life, he couldn't help but exclaim that this was indeed the Luoxia Grotto-Heaven, which was destroyed right at the beginning of the story!
Mountains wrapped in clouds, flowing springs in deep ravines, and ancient buildings with high, arching eaves were scattered among the bamboo forests and seas of pines, blending into the landscape.
And the bustling crowd in front of them gathered before a mountain gate cast from white jade, waiting for it to open.
"Follow me closely later. When entering the mountain gate, you will be asked to release a wisp of True Qi to determine your Spiritual Root attributes."
"Remember, the attribute of your Spiritual Root also represents the direction you will cultivate in the future."
Senior Brother Zhang Huaixiang looked at the seven people in front of him, as if seeing the seventy Low-Grade Spirit Stones he had brought back, and spoke exceptionally kindly.
True Geniuses simply disdained to squeeze in with the NPCs to fight over who would be the first to pass the Spiritual Root test.
Geniuses are always self-centered, as if the whole world should revolve around them.
The six Children of Destiny stood in place waiting tacitly, and out of the principle of the minority obeying the majority, Su Yi also lazily leaned against the railing, watching the crowd surging toward the mountain gate.
Su Yi seemed to see the scene of players pushing and cursing each other to be the first to join the Sect.
Thinking about it now, he really missed the days when the game first launched.
Back then, he just wanted to play the game purely, instead of later having to clock in daily to be a dog for the Empress.
Just as Su Yi's thoughts were wandering, the cry of a crane rang out.
A large white crane circled above the mountain gate, causing a wave of gasps from the young boys and girls in front of the gate.
"Wow..."
Xiao Tian, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in wonder, but upon noticing that his fellow Disciples beside him all had calm and indifferent expressions, he instinctively covered his mouth.
The lazy Su Yi glanced at the burly-looking Xiao Tian.
With a physique like a man in his early twenties, who could have guessed that the current Xiao Tian was actually only eleven years old?
Among the six Prodigies, he was the youngest, so it was natural for him to be a bit childish.
After the crane circled the mountain gate once, a young man in black robes on the crane's back raised his hand and shot a clear beam of light into the jade ball in the center of the gate's eaves.
The white jade ball, like a spring, began to overflow with a rich amount of Spiritual Qi.
The Spiritual Qi flowed over the eaves and finally fell down like a waterfall.
The original mountain gate instantly gained a "gate" paved with Spiritual Qi!
Hazy, shimmering Spiritual Qi swirled on the "gate," sparkling as if inlaid with colorful diamonds.
Amidst another wave of gasps from the young boys and girls, the young man on the crane's back shouted: "Pass through this Spirit Gate one by one, and your Spiritual Root attributes will appear on the Spirit Gate!"
"The Spiritual Root test begins now!"
Hearing the Cultivator on the crane's back speak, the Outer Sect Disciples responsible for guiding began to direct the newcomers they had brought to pass through the Spirit Gate one by one.
Whenever someone passed through, a color would appear three feet above the person's head on the Spirit Gate!
Gold represents Metal Spiritual Root.
Green represents Wood Spiritual Root.
Blue represents Water Spiritual Root.
Red represents Fire Spiritual Root.
Brown represents Earth Spiritual Root.
As the new Disciples kept walking through the Spirit Gate, the gate constantly changed colors like a revolving lantern.
Watching the new Disciples passing through, Su Yi, who already knew the Spiritual Root attributes, couldn't help but look forward to seeing what reactions would occur when the six Prodigies passed through the Spirit Gate.
As the number of Disciples outside the gate dwindled, the face of the young man on the crane's back grew increasingly grim, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart: "It seems that we probably won't be able to recruit any mutated Spiritual Roots during this year's Sect opening and recruitment!"
As time passed, only Su Yi's group remained outside the gate.
At this moment, the young man on the crane's back was clearly disappointed to the extreme and urged impatiently: "The remaining Disciples, enter the gate quickly!"
Gu Wanquan turned his head and swept his gaze over everyone, lingering on Su Yi for a moment before saying with a gentle smile: "Let's go, it's our turn!"
