Chen Mobai looked around and found that everyone was hesitant.

He found it very strange, but after putting himself in the shoes of these independent cultivators, he understood their feelings.

The moment these people embarked on the path of cultivation, they understood the importance of the spiritual root.

Since they could become cultivators, it meant that they all possessed spiritual roots. However, these spiritual roots could either lead them to become immortals or send them straight to hell.

They wanted to know their spiritual roots through the Spirit Testing Platform, but they were also afraid of finding out that they had false spiritual roots of four or five attributes, which would mean a bleak future on the path of cultivation.

With such a mixed feeling of hope and fear, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Chen Mobai knew his own spiritual root talent. If he were at the Immortal Gate, he would have been the first to finish the test and go on stage.

But this was the Tianhe Realm, he must not draw attention to himself.

He held back, waiting for the first independent cultivator who wanted to attract the attention of the two true disciples of the Shenmu Sect.

Sure enough, after about an incense stick’s time, Yuan Chiyi found that no one had gone on stage, and he couldn’t help but frown.

“If no one comes forward, the spirit testing will end here. Those who do not participate in the spirit testing cannot participate in the next round of talisman assessment.”

As soon as he said this, someone finally couldn’t hold back.

A burly, bald, and eyebrow-less man stepped forward, paid his respects to Yuan Chiyi, and carefully stepped onto the Spirit Testing Platform.

He meditated and absorbed spiritual energy just like the others before him.

Then, a five-colored light shone.

“False spiritual root of five elements, not passed.”

“Elemental Immortal, I’m at the eighth level of Qi Refining, my spiritual root can’t be this bad. Can you check my bones again?”

The bald man looked at his spiritual root light, his face pale, but he still didn’t give up. He ran to Yuan Chiyi, extending his right hand.

“Qi Refining eighth level, alright, participate in the next round of talisman assessment.”

Yuan Chiyi didn’t check his bones, he just nodded and let the bald man step down, signaling for the next person to come up.

Seeing this, many independent cultivators believed the rumors that had been circulating in the market recently.

The Shenmu Sect had lost many disciples in the Dream Swamp, it seemed that they really were going to recruit more people this time.

Originally, those with false spiritual roots of five elements would definitely be eliminated. But those at the eighth level of Qi Refining could do many tasks for the sect, so they were given a second chance.

So, the remaining independent cultivators in the later stages of Qi Refining all eagerly stepped onto the Spirit Testing Platform.

But the results surprised Chen Mobai, they all had false spiritual roots of four or five attributes.

“How strange, what’s going on?”

“Senior, these people who have cultivated to the later stages of Qi Refining have all experienced several recruitments by the Wuxing Sect and the Shenmu Sect, and have already tested their spiritual root talents. Those with true spiritual roots have already been picked in the previous rounds.”

Qi Er’s words made Chen Mobai suddenly realize.

His previous thoughts were all wrong. These people were not hesitant to go on stage because they were afraid of finding out that their spiritual root talents were poor.

They already knew that they had false spiritual roots of four or five attributes, and their ages were basically over the limit, not meeting the requirements for the Wuxing Sect and the Shenmu Sect to recruit disciples. They knew they would be eliminated, so they didn’t go up.

However, due to the beast tide in the Dream Swamp, the Shenmu Sect might have suffered a great loss, so they turned a blind eye to these independent cultivators in the later stages of Qi Refining.

He just didn’t know what the next talisman assessment would be like.

Just as Chen Mobai was thinking about this, the independent cultivators in the later stages of Qi Refining had almost finished their tests. As expected, they all had false spiritual roots, which made Yuan Chiyi shake his head repeatedly.

In the end, he even lost interest in watching and started chatting with the disciple who was managing the Shenmu Sect’s shop.

“If it weren’t for the sect leader’s order to recruit more people this time, none of these people would be able to join the sect.”

“Well, it’s not bad. After all, these independent cultivators have cultivated to the later stages of Qi Refining, they all have their own skills. It’s impossible for them to establish their foundation, but they can be useful in replenishing the sect’s team in the Dream Swamp.”

One of the shopkeepers of the artifact shop said with a smile.

“Huh, there’s actually a hidden gem.”

Suddenly, the young female true disciple of the Shenmu Sect spoke in surprise.

Yuan Chiyi, who was chatting casually, immediately turned his head and saw a handsome young man sitting on the Spirit Testing Platform, meditating.

White light, green light, black light lit up!

It was a true spiritual root of three attributes!

Yuan Chiyi’s eyes lit up, and he stood up.

“What’s the background of this independent cultivator?”

The shopkeeper of the Shenmu Sect’s pill shop immediately stood up and reported to Yuan Chiyi.

“He is an independent cultivator who appeared in Yun Country last year. He also went to our sect’s market on Qingguang Island in the Dream Swamp a while ago. He was very lucky and escaped after the island was destroyed by the beasts.”

“Oh, he actually escaped from the ruins of Qingguang Island.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiyi couldn’t help but marvel.As a true disciple, he naturally knew the brutality of the Qingguang Island battlefield. The Shenmu Sect and the Jingguang Cliff had lost two Foundation Establishment elders, only then did they manage to secure enough time for most of their disciples to retreat through the teleportation array.

Anyone who could escape from such a battlefield must have extraordinary abilities.

“Can we investigate this person’s initial experience in cultivating immortality?”

Although the Shenmu Sect was not as strict as the Wuxing Sect in accepting rogue cultivators, they would still conduct basic population surveys to prevent other sects from stealing the Shenmu Sect’s cultivation methods and secret scriptures.

“I did hear him mention it once. He said that when he was a child, he fell into a large lake while fishing and accidentally entered a water mansion, where he obtained the method of cultivation.”

Chen Mobai’s previous conversation with the owner of the Shenmu Sect’s spiritual medicine shop came into play. He planned to join the Shenmu Sect and claim the water mansion as his own.

After all, the water mansion originally belonged to the Wuxing Sect, and no one had come to reclaim it yet. As a branch of the Wuxing Sect, the Shenmu Sect also had the right to claim ownership of the water mansion.

Once he joined the Shenmu Sect, wouldn’t the water mansion rightfully belong to him?

The Shenmu Sect had so many spiritual lands in the Jumu Ridge that they were almost deserted. They wouldn’t care about this small water mansion, even if they knew about it.

“Alright, I understand.”

At this moment, Chen Mobai had just come down from the spirit testing platform and was walking towards Yuan Chiyi.

After the spirit test, there was the bone touching and cultivation level check.

“Good, only nineteen years old and already at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and a true spiritual root.”

After the bone touching, Yuan Chiyi was even more satisfied.

“With your cultivation progress, the attributes of this true spiritual root must be good. It might even be close to the top talent of a dual spiritual root. You don’t need to participate in the talisman test.”

Yuan Chiyi directly confirmed Chen Mobai’s qualification to join the sect.

“Eh?”

Chen Mobai was very surprised. He knew that he only had the most common triple spiritual root, and was just a few points away from being classified as a quadruple spiritual root.

Why did the result differ so much from the spiritual root certificate issued by the big hospital of the Immortal Gate when it came to Yuan Chiyi’s mouth?
