Chapter 153 Test
Chapter 153 Test
I feel sick.
Yun Ci frowned, enduring the dizziness brought on by breaking through the void.
"arrive."
The peak master of Lingzhi Peak stood with his hands behind his back, looking ahead, and said with a smile in his narrow eyes.
Yun Ci took several deep breaths and felt better before looking up at the surrounding scenery with curiosity.
Here, the sky and earth are orange, there is no distinction between day and night, and countless brown stones float in the sky.
Ten pillars of different colors surround the central circular platform.
The five directions on the table are labeled with the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, as well as mutated spiritual roots such as ice and lightning.
The pattern on the table is extremely complex.
Countless words and patterns encircle a central area.
Directly opposite the tabletop is a stone pillar larger than all the others. Unlike the other stone pillars, which are carved with intricate patterns, this stone pillar has no patterns on it, only the three large characters "Testing Stone" written on it.
There was no one else here except him and Peak Master Qi.
"Go ahead." Peak Master Qi looked at Yun Ci with a smile, but upon closer inspection, his eyes revealed an eagerness.
Yun Ci looked at the table.
Should we go into that circle?
He did not inherit the original owner's memories, but he had read the original text.
However, I only glanced at it briefly and didn't look at much.
Yun Ci did not ask.
If you ask, you'll be exposed.
He tried to walk to the center of the table, but before he could react, the table suddenly lit up.
Peak Master Qi was taken aback.
The five large characters on the table, representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, began to rotate around the young boy in the center.
faster and faster.
faster and faster.
As the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) rotated, those mutated spiritual roots also began to rotate...
Yun Ci's little face still looked confused.
What is he going to do now?
Suddenly, he felt an invisible force binding and controlling him.
He was made to sit cross-legged on the ground, following that force.
Yun Ci felt his heart suddenly become empty, and his mind went blank. He closed his eyes.
In an instant, the ten pillars emitted an extremely dazzling light.
Qi Fengzhu, who was not far away, took a step back, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes showed shock.
In the middle of the stage, the little boy sat cross-legged. Although he was small, his back was straight, and his soft, white, and clean face was so beautiful that it seemed unreal. Even the strands of his hair were extremely delicate.
Yun Ci didn't know what she was thinking, or perhaps she wasn't thinking about anything at all.
At this moment, the patterns and countless characters on the table began to swirl around Yun Ci.
The peak master of Lingzhi Peak stared intently at this scene, his eyes wide open and his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.
genius.
genius.
genius!
How long... how long has it been!
How long has it been since the test stone has reacted so violently!
All ten pillars to the sky were lit up. Back then, Si Qingxuan, the eldest disciple of Immortal Venerable Jiqing, lit up nine of them!
That's a natural sword bone!
This young disciple actually...all ten pillars to heaven lit up...
Could it be that he has some extraordinary talent?
Peak Master Qi looked at the well-behaved young boy sitting on the platform.
This is his disciple.
He absolutely must take him as his personal disciple!
A quarter of an hour later.
The Five Elements Diagram stopped rotating, and a green beam of light extended from beneath Yun Ci, pointing directly at the testing stone.
The moment the test stone came into contact with the beam of green light, the entire test stone emitted a green glow without the slightest pause.
The light was so dazzling that the world instantly turned green.
Peak Master Qi looked at the scene before him.
Even though I already knew the outcome, I was still shocked by what I saw.
The test stones all lit up.
Top-grade...wood spirit root.
It is important to know that the testing stone is used to test the spiritual roots of cultivators. Generally, the ten pillars that reach the heavens will not react, only the testing stone will.
It can be completed in ten breaths, which is very fast.
The color of light emitted by the testing stone will correspond to the spiritual root of the disciple being tested.
Similarly, the light from the testing stone will vary in intensity depending on the quality of the spiritual root.
When most people test their spiritual roots, the testing stone doesn't light up all at once like this; it only rises slowly from the bottom up.
Unless it's an exceptional spiritual root that only appears once every thousand years.
Even for top-grade spiritual roots, it is extremely rare for the testing stone to light up completely at once.
The green light gradually faded, the Five Elements diagram on the platform stopped rotating, and the world returned to its original state.
The peak master of Lingzhi Peak knew that he had found a treasure.
Yun Ci felt as if he had taken a nap. He opened his eyes and looked around.
The testing should be complete by now, right?
The boy stood up and patted his bottom.
He can go home now. Those two idiots and Xiaobai are still waiting for him. I wonder if Little Ginseng cried...
"Peak Master Qi, the test is over, so I'll head back now."
He insisted that he had a superior wood spirit root and made him take a test.
Yun Ci looked up at Peak Master Qi and said.
Qi Fengzhu looked at the young boy in front of him, trying his best to put on a kind smile, but the smile just didn't look right on his face.
"You have a top-grade wood spirit root, so you don't need to go back. Come back to Spirit Plant Peak with me now."
Hear the words.
Yun Ci was stunned for a moment, then an incredulous expression appeared on her face.
A top-grade wood spirit root? Him? A top-grade wood spirit root?
How can it be?
He has a superior wood spirit root!
Yun Ci shook her head. "I don't have a top-grade wood spirit root, Peak Master Qi. The test is over. Can I go back now?"
Peak Master Qi still had a smile on his face.
"Listen to me, the result of this test shows that you have a top-grade wood spirit root. Last time, the test stone might have malfunctioned. I'm sorry you had to endure this hardship these past few days."
"From now on, you are my personal disciple. Spirit Plant Peak is your home. You don't need to go to the back mountain anymore. I will give you the best."
As he spoke, Peak Master Qi raised his chin, his expression haughty and superior.
What's so great about being a disciple?
Such talent deserves the best cultivation resources!
Yun Ci looked up at the Spirit Plant Peak Master in front of him, whose smile was even more frightening than his usual expression.
"..."
"Um... thank you, Peak Master Qi, but I don't know anything. I can only cook. I don't want to be a personal disciple, and... I don't want to live on Spirit Plant Peak. I think where I live now is fine... If Peak Master Qi has nothing else, this disciple will take my leave now..."
Although the fact that a direct disciple could receive a high-grade spirit stone every month was very tempting to him.
One high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!
But Qi Fengzhu's words made him a little uncomfortable.
Why can't he go back? He has a home; the courtyard behind the mountain is his home.
Lingzhi Peak is not his home, so he doesn't go there.
Peak Master Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Looking at the young boy in front of him, he treated him as just a child.
Because he was still a child, he was only interested in playing.
He can't just think about playing. He's so disobedient; he needs to be properly taught a lesson.
Peak Master Qi slowly stopped laughing.
Before Yun Ci could react, another wave of dizziness hit her.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in another unfamiliar place.
Yun Ci looked around and realized that he was in a room.
The house was very large and spacious, but there was nothing inside.
That's why the corners were so dark.
At this time, it was almost dusk. Peak Master Qi stood at the door, blocking a large portion of the setting sun. He was inside the house.
Ahead lies light, behind lies endless darkness.
Yun Ci held her breath, knowing what the peak master of the Spirit Plant Peak was about to do.
Fear flashed in the boy's eyes.
The shadow hidden deep within his heart, which had never disappeared, surged towards him again like a receding tide.
"I don't want to stay here, I want to get out."
Yun Ci rushed outside without paying any attention.
I don't want to stay in such a dark place. I don't want to be here alone. I'm scared.
I don't want to be here.
Peak Master Qi looked down at Yun Ci and retreated outside the door.
A wave of his hand.
boom!
The young boy was knocked back by an invisible wall in front of him.
Yun Ci sat on the ground, feeling a piercing pain in her hands.
Ignoring the tears that welled up instantly and the pain in his palms, all he wanted was to get out.
Behind them lay endless darkness, and Yun Ci dared not look back.
The boy's face was covered in a fine layer of sweat; he looked anxious, and his tone even carried a hint of pleading.
"Peak Master Qi, I don't want to be here, I really don't want to be here..."
Peak Master Qi could tell that Yun Ci was afraid.
However, he didn't pay attention to Yun Ci's words.
Yun Ci is too disobedient; it's good to teach him a small lesson this time.
Peak Master Qi stood in the light, looking down at Yun Ci.
"I know you are Elder Huaiyuan's grandson, but you have a top-grade wood spirit root. No sect would let such a talented disciple go unattended. Spirit Plant Peak is the place for you."
Now that you've been tested and found to have an exceptional wood spirit root, you can stay here in peace. Tell me when you've figured things out, and I'll release you then.
As for Elder Huaiyuan, I will speak with him when he returns.
With that, the door slammed shut.
"do not want!"
Yun Ci stood up and rushed towards the door.
boom!
"Well......"
It hurts so much, it hurts so much...
Yun Ci's head was slammed back by that invisible wall, and he instantly flew into the shadows behind it.
The boy's mind was blank, but he ignored the pain.
They immediately crawled to the doorway where there was light, using both their hands and feet.
The little boy's thin back pressed tightly against the door, curling himself up, his soft white face looking at the dark place behind him, his feet pulling back.
I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to go back...
Why hasn't Chu Ziming come to find him yet...?
In just one hour, Chu Ziming will come to find him.
The little boy curled up, burying his face in his knees.
