At the entrance of Nanxi Market, the stewards of the four major cultivation families were all gathered around two disciples dressed in the blue uniforms of the Shenmu Sect, nodding and bowing.

Chen Mobai squeezed into the crowd, carefully observing the two who were the center of attention.

“Strange, why are there two true disciples?”

According to the information he had gathered beforehand, the one who should have come was E Yun, the third true disciple.

It was said that he was not striking in appearance, simple and unadorned, but he specialized in the “Sutra of Immortality”, and was hailed as one of the most likely to reach the Foundation Establishment stage among the true disciples of this generation.

The two from the Shenmu Sect, one male and one female.

The man was graceful and handsome.

The woman had red lips and white teeth, her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings. Although she looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, one could already see her future stunning beauty.

The faintly heard voices allowed Chen Mobai to know that the man’s surname was Yuan, and the woman’s surname was Ding.

If his surname was Yuan, could it be Yuan Chiyi, who ranked eighteenth among the twenty-four true disciples of this generation?

As for Ding, there were two true disciples with this surname in this generation, and the female one should be Ding Ying.

Since he had decided to join the Shenmu Sect, Chen Mobai naturally had gathered a lot of information about this sect.

The Shenmu Sect revealed two Golden Elixir ancestors at the top, and twenty-four true disciples at the bottom.

As for how many Foundation Establishment elders there were in the sect, opinions varied, and there was no exact number.

The cultivators in the Tianhe Realm were so busy every day just for the sake of spirit stones and cultivation methods that they had no spare time to collect and study these things.

On the contrary, Chen Mobai, based on the information revealed by the owner of the Shenmu Sect’s spirit medicine shop in the market, had roughly estimated a number.

According to him, about two to four of the twenty-four true disciples of each generation were able to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

That is to say, on average, there were three more Foundation Establishment cultivators every ten years.

The Shenmu Sect had been established for fifty years, so there should be at least 15 Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He didn’t know how many Foundation Establishment cultivators had been brought out from the Wuxing Sect, and how many had been lost over the years.

Among the true disciples of this generation, the three who were most likely to reach the Foundation Establishment stage included E Yun.

Because he did not practice the Two-Phase Technique and was distracted, his spiritual power was the purest, so most people thought he could become the first true disciple of this generation to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

But this was not absolute.

There were also a few who ranked low when they became true disciples, but eventually made a name for themselves and successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Before long, the two disciples of the Shenmu Sect were led to the Tiancan Building in the center of the market by the four major cultivation families.

Chen Mobai waited in place for a while.

About the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Qi Rui ran over.

“Senior, I found out that E Yun, as the third true disciple, is favored by many disciples of the Shenmu Sect to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and they choose to attach themselves to him.”

“And this time he took on the task of the Spirit Crossing Envoy from the sect, but mainly for his own Foundation Establishment, so he let two disciples who were attached to him in the sect come to help complete the task of recruiting loose cultivators.”

“The male disciple of the Shenmu Sect is Yuan Chiyi, the eighteenth true disciple; and the young girl who looks young is named Ding Ying, who seems to be a true disciple as well.”

After listening, Chen Mobai nodded.

As long as the Shenmu Sect was still recruiting loose cultivators, it didn’t matter who came.

He didn’t mean to boast, but although there were many Qi Refining eighth and ninth level experts in the market now, when it came to talisman making, he was definitely better than these loose cultivators after half a year of hard training at Danzhu Academy.

During that half year, besides switching to the Pure Yang Scroll, he was learning from Luan Jingsheng.

With the help of Luan Jingsheng, he studied hard the three basic books of talisman making.

Not only the five life talismans, but even the “Red Fire Talisman” and “Sword Qi Talisman” given to him by Qi Rui could be made.

If it weren’t for the fact that the drawing of the “Red Flame Sword Talisman” required a special talisman ink unique to the Giant Wood Ridge, Chen Mobai would probably have been able to complete this first-grade superior talisman.

As it turned out, his idea was completely correct.

After the two true disciples of the Shenmu Sect had a full meal at the banquet of the four major families, they had the Shenmu Sect’s shop start cleaning up in the afternoon and set up a place for talisman making.

And the two of them came to an open space in the middle of the street in Nanxi Market.

Yuan Chiyi slapped his storage bag, and a streak of light flashed by.

Suddenly, a platform that could accommodate two or three people appeared in the center of the open space.

“Is this the ‘Spirit Testing Platform’?”

Qi Rui, standing next to Chen Mobai, looked over with a hopeful face.

Without asking, just by hearing the name, Chen Mobai understood what it was.

It should be a magical instrument used in the Tianhe Realm to measure a cultivator’s spiritual root.

Being so large, it should be more accurate and faster than the spirit testing instrument in his hand, right?

Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, the two people from the Shenmu Sect stood to one side, and immediately the disciples of the Shenmu Sect in the market brought over two chairs and placed them behind them.

“Our Shenmu Sect opens its doors wide to recruit loose cultivators. As long as their spiritual roots are suitable and they have not committed evil deeds of the demonic path, they can all enter our sect!”

With one word from Yuan Chiyi, it was like a thunderbolt, making every person on the street hear clearly.

“Next, the suitable-aged men and women of the four major families, come up to the Spirit Testing Platform first.”

As soon as his words fell, four prepared queues came out.

With either nervous or expectant hearts, they one by one stepped onto the Spirit Testing Platform.

The first to go on stage was a young man from the Liu family.

It seemed that someone had given him a hint, and as soon as he went up, he sat cross-legged on the Spirit Testing Platform and began to meditate and breathe in spiritual energy.

About two or three minutes later, when Chen Mobai couldn’t help but want to yawn, the Spirit Testing Platform lit up with four colors of light.

“Four attributes pseudo-spiritual root of metal, wood, water, and fire.”

Seeing this, Yuan Chiyi shook his head slightly, but still gave face to the Liu family, called the young man on the Spirit Testing Platform over, and reached out to touch his bone age.

“Age sixteen, Qi Refining third level, barely acceptable to enter our sect.”

Hearing this, the leader of the Liu family showed a relieved smile on his face.

Chen Mobai was a bit confused, wasn’t there a talisman test later? It seemed as if he had already been guaranteed a place in the Shenmu Sect.

What surprised him even more, however, was the crudeness of this Spirit Testing Platform.

Can’t it even read out the numerical values of the spiritual root attributes?

Chen Mobai thought he might have misunderstood, so he continued to watch.

The second, third, and fourth person went up, and the spiritual root testing platform still only lit up with the glow of the Five Elements spiritual root, displaying the spiritual root attributes of the person on stage, but it couldn’t show the specific values.

He finally understood. It seemed that the spiritual root tester in his bag might be a bit too advanced for the Tianhe Realm.

After all the four major families had tested, the best spiritual root belonged to a member of the Lou family, who had a triple spiritual root.

In this round, Yuan Chiyi recruited a total of thirteen disciples. He seemed very satisfied with the only one who had a true triple attribute spiritual root. Not only did he let him stand by his side, but he also showed a pleased expression to the steward of the Lou family, indicating that if the Shenmu Sect had extra Foundation Establishment Pills next time, he would consider inviting their family to bid.

Next, it was time for the spiritual root testing of the independent cultivators.
