Showdown, I am the koi of the world of immortality

Looking at the strength of the group of men in black, it seems that they came here just to stir up trouble. Although it caused panic and almost caused Xu Ziqiao to make a big fuss, it still failed in the end.

It was only when Xu Ziqiao saw that some of the monks were injured due to the fight between Ji Xue and the man in black that he realized why Tu Nian wanted to stop him from continuing the pursuit.

In the situation just now, there are only two possibilities for the two sides to fight to the end. Either the other side uses some dirty tricks to come back or die together, or Jiuxue wastes time and effort to capture a group of small characters who are just acting as thugs, and the consequences are spread. There are more monks coming to join the sect. No matter what happens, it will be harmful to today's apprenticeship ceremony.

Most of those who came to join the sect were young and energetic people. Tu Nian's timely stop loss and the comfort of Nie Yanchen's strong image instantly helped them establish a sense of security, and the apprenticeship ceremony could be carried out as usual without any impact. The mentality of the monks who came to join the sect.

So under the abbot of Li Xing, the senior brother of the outer sect, the monks began the first item of the apprenticeship ceremony: the spiritual root test.

As for Nie Yanchen, if he had not been forced by circumstances, it would have been against the rules for him to come out early. Now that he had nothing else to do, he took his people back to the sect and waited. Tu Nian and a few other disciples were left outside. Not only to prevent further accidents, but also to help Li Xing.

It seemed that the monks were just competing with a Brahma Stone, and no particularly outstanding seedlings emerged. Tu Nian and Chu Qiurong were bored and chatted about the men in black just now.

"Who do you think sent those people?" Tu Nian asked.

Chu Qiurong shrugged, "It's nothing more than Yuqing or Mingdao Tower's tricks. Haven't they been like this in the past month?"

can you?

Tu Nian turned his head hesitantly, without commenting.

Thinking back to the time when those men in black fought against Xu Ziqiao and the others, judging from their moves, the other party did not look like someone from Yuqing. In the past few days, Mingdao Tower has to track down the dead people of the Gong family and prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony. Come to think of it, I can't spare any time to fix these problems.

If it's not from the main family, it can only be someone hired, or else, it's an organization they've never heard of.

But now that the snow is in full swing, who would look for trouble at this juncture? Moreover, although the other party intended to find trouble, they did not send anyone with high standards to take action. Acting in such a timid manner was not really a wise move.

Tu Nian had no clue.

This group of people appeared inexplicably and unreasonably, and they left no evidence. The only thing worth caring about was the words Bo Qiu left in her ear after those people left: "The moves of these people seem to be... It looks familiar."

But when asked further, Bo Qiu couldn't remember clearly. After all, he only had a brain and couldn't fill it with all the trivial matters.

Tu Nian had no choice but to ask him to think about it when he had free time. As for herself, she squeezed the small picture stone in her hand.

According to this situation, if she wanted to check, she would probably have to go through Yanyu Pavilion.

The spiritual root test is the fastest and most stringent part of the previous apprenticeship ceremonies.

Even Jiuxue's test was not as demanding as Yuqing's, but after a spiritual root test, almost half of the more than 200 monks who came to join the sect were eliminated.

Many of these people wanted to blend in with the snow. After being pointed out by Li Xing, they left in dejection. Most of the remaining people, in order to prevent the occurrence of an oolong incident like Tu Nian, who used good things as bad things. , Nie Yanchen even specially retained Tu Nian and Chu Qiurong to recruit people.

It's a pity that rare situations like Tu Nian's are still too rare after all. Even if Chu Qiurong's spiritual consciousness is drained, he still can't find any useful talents among the eliminated monks. However, they discovered a little boy with a strange physique, which surprised everyone.

Catching the child and standing aside, Chu Qiurong looked at him in surprise, "Child, are you born without spiritual roots?"

The boy seemed a little frightened. After a moment of reaction, he realized that the people in front of him were not malicious. He swallowed in confusion and asked with a puzzled look, "What is the non-spiritual root?"

Chu Qiurong was confused by this question. He turned to look at Tu Nian, who also looked confused.

How come there are monks who don’t know what spiritual roots are!

When the boy saw that the two people didn't answer, he spoke again: "So does having no spiritual roots mean that you can't join the sect? Then do I have to go with those people?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the monks who had been judged by Chu Qiurong as failing the test and left sadly, with a layer of disappointment on their young faces.

Based on his appearance, Tu Nian estimated that the boy was a few years younger than him, at most twelve or thirteen years old, and he was not accompanied by a guardian. With such an image, his life experience was probably bleak.

And just when she was hesitating, Boqiu's lazy voice came into her mind, "Take him in, he will be useful in the future."

Tu Nian immediately decided and said to the boy, "No, you go over there and wait for the next item."

"Oh, okay! Thank you!"

The boy happily responded to her call and ran over with a bound. When he walked away, Chu Qiurong looked at Tu Nian doubtfully, "Little junior sister?"

According to the rules, the sect does not accept those without spiritual roots.

Tu Nian couldn't help but confess Bo Qiu, so he had to answer simply and rudely: "He is in the Qi refining stage."

Chu Qiurong choked and held it in for a long time: "I'm so surprised."

Indeed, even this early stage of Qi refining should not be something that the boy's body without spiritual roots could possess.

Spiritual roots are the ability to perceive all things in the world. Only with spiritual roots can one perceive spiritual power and control the five elements. Those without spiritual roots should be classified as mortals. They can only practice martial arts in their lives and it is impossible to learn Taoism.

Like this child, a person without spiritual roots but with cultivation is equivalent to a flower growing out of thin air without soil or water. The peculiarity of it is self-evident.

The monks who passed the spiritual root test were going to take the entrance examination. Chu Qiurong was the examiner, so he informed Tu Nian and followed the team. Tu Nian was able to be alone with Bo Qiu and couldn't wait to ask him about the boy.

Bo Qiu looked at the leaving team with deep meaning in his eyes and said, "Those are not human beings."

"What did you say?"

Tu Nian was immediately dumbfounded. Bo Qiu lowered his eyes and looked at her with a smile on his face, "He is the same as me. He was trained as a spiritual beast."

After confirming that he heard correctly, Tu Nian hesitated for a moment and said in shock: "Then he is also an old goblin who only lived a thousand years?"

Bo Qiu's smile froze, "Yeah?"

Why is this girl unable to live up to her age?

"cough."

Tu Nian was embarrassed and quickly changed the topic, "Then how could the Brahma Stone detect that he was in the early stage of foundation establishment? Do you still have a secret method to hide your strength?"

Bo Qiu said: "No. He indeed only has the strength of the early stage of foundation building, but his race is special and he transformed at a younger age."

Tu Nian hurriedly asked: "What race?"

Boqiu replied: "Baize."
