Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 14: Testing for Apprenticeship

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Jing was seriously injured by a mysterious person, and his foundation was almost destroyed. Now the whole sect is looking for that person?"

"Ah! Who can hurt Senior Brother Jing? He is the number one genius of our Xuantian Sect and the direct disciple of the Sect Master. He has reached the state of great perfection in the foundation building stage in just a few years."

"I heard that he was seriously injured while guarding the forbidden area, and even his natal sword was shattered."

"Forbidden area? Didn't it collapse? How could it attract bad guys?"

"I don't know. It's said that the one who came is an evil cultivator, and his strength is unfathomable. Even the Immortal Alliance knows about this matter. They said that they will send people to the sect to investigate soon. Now the mountain gate is sealed."

"What does this have to do with the Immortal Alliance?"

"I heard that the Immortal Alliance sealed the forbidden area. Now that it's destroyed, they're naturally here to hold us accountable. It's a pity for Senior Brother Jing..."

"It's all that evil cultivator's fault! How despicable!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Evil cultivator Chu Qiuci: "..."

It turned out that she had casually struck a powerful figure that day. She had been careless after all. She had originally thought she could walk around unscathed with her cultivation level, but she hadn't expected to be discovered by a Foundation Establishment disciple. To some extent, the other party's five senses were indeed astonishing.

To avoid causing any further disturbance, Qiu Ci spent the next few days studying the scale in his room, but unfortunately, he didn't find any clues. The system scan only gave a single result: suspected experimental material. But what exactly was it, and how did it come from? The database it received contained no information.

Just when she was about to conduct further research, a disciple came to inform them to go to the main peak square to take part in the sect test.

Qiu Ci calculated the date carefully and found that it had been three months since he entered Xuantian Sect. It was time to test whether the spiritual energy of the prospective disciples had entered their bodies.

Feng Ting and Zhen Yi haven't left their rooms for a while, and no one knows what stage their training has reached. However, she has given them the improved version of the basic training manual, and she believes that there will be no problem in passing the test to become formal disciples.

Before they had time to reunite with the two, all the prospective disciples were called to the square where they had taken the entrance test.

Compared to last time when only two disciples were guarding the test gate, this time many people from the sect had come. Qiu Ci took a quick look and found that there were actually five Jindan cultivators inside, and the others were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, totaling more than a dozen people.

It seems that they are all elders from various peaks who are here to recruit disciples.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, an elder in the Foundation Establishment stage stepped forward, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "The first thirty people, calm your minds and enter the magic circle. Those who can induce the magic circle to vibrate will be considered to have successfully drawn in the Qi. Those who fail can leave the sect on their own or go to the Miscellaneous Service Peak."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thirty prospective disciples standing in front of him all walked towards the direction of the magic circle, including Feng Ting and Zhen Yi. Only after everyone entered the magic circle did the elder make a hand gesture to activate the formation.

The function of this magic circle automatically emerged in Qiu Ci's mind. Generally speaking, it is used to test the spiritual power in the body. People who draw qi into the body will be surrounded by spiritual power, which will then activate the magic circle.

Sure enough, white light appeared in the formation. It was the light transformed from spiritual power. The more spiritual power the physical strength had, the brighter the light became. Soon, several disciples were surrounded by white light. The two brightest places were in the direction of Zhen Yi and Feng Ting.

Zhen Yi was fine, completely enveloped in white light. Feng Ting, however, was the most impressive sight. The light surrounding her shot straight up into the sky, enveloping not only herself but also four or five nearby people. "This is it!" The elders, who had been sitting there leisurely, suddenly stood up in unison.

They hadn't seen such a bright light in many years.

"This... is at least the fifth level of Qi training!" In just three months, someone actually cultivated to the fifth level of Qi training. What a genius he is, he is no worse than Jing Hong, the previous disciple of the headmaster.

It turned out that the elder of Biluo Peak, who was just there to make up the numbers, asked excitedly, "Who is that?" I had clearly seen from the information before that there was no extraordinary bloodline among this group of disciples. Could they have missed it?
"Fellow Daoists, do you recognize this... Hey! Where are the people?" The elder of Biluo Peak was about to ask, but when he turned around, he found that the elders sitting next to him had disappeared. They all went to the kid, "These old guys!"

Feng Ting was immediately surrounded by a circle of elders, all of whom smiled as brightly as chrysanthemums, with very kind expressions.

"Little girl, would you like to join me at Qianren Peak? With your aptitude, I guarantee that you can become a powerful Golden Core cultivator."

"Go away, why would a little girl like her enter Qianren Peak? Why don't you come to our Bailian Peak? I can see that you are a good candidate for talisman cultivation."

"What's the use of talisman cultivation? Formation cultivation is better. We who cultivate formations are invincible! Little kid, follow me to cultivate formations, and I will accept you as my personal disciple."

"You old fools, you have no shame. He clearly has earth spiritual roots and has a high affinity for spiritual plants. He's the most suitable for us Dan cultivators, okay?"

"You fart!"

"You're the one farting!"

A group of elders immediately started arguing on the spot about who would accept Feng Ting as their disciple.

Feng Ting, surrounded by them, frantically searched for Qiu Ci. When he disappeared, her face paled, and she looked as frightened as if she wanted to hide in a hole. She was timid to begin with, and only felt a little braver when Qiu Ci was around. Now, surrounded by strangers, she felt even more terrified. Forget asking to be his disciple; it was already a relief that she didn't break down and cry.

The elders thought she was still hesitating, so they promoted the product even more vigorously.

"Alright, stop arguing." The elder from Biluo Peak, who came last, reminded him in a deep voice, "Given this kid's aptitude, which peak he joins will ultimately be decided by the headmaster."

The elders were speechless for a moment. It was indeed not their turn to choose such a good seedling. The sect leader would definitely intervene. It seemed that he would eventually become a disciple of several peak masters.

Seeing their acquiescence, the elder of Biluo Peak stroked his beard and continued, "There's no time to lose. Why not take her to Qianren Peak to see the Sect Master now? I won't go. I have to take my new disciple to the peak to familiarize myself with the route first."

The elders were stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, "Where did you get your new disciple..." Before they could finish their words, they found that there was indeed a cat-headed boy following behind the other party. It was Zhen Yi!

Only then did they remember that in addition to the beam of light that shot up into the sky from the girl, there was also a strong beam of light. Thinking about it carefully, it turned out that she had at least reached the second level of Qi training. She was also a genius.

Immediately, several people regretted their decision. The other party actually took advantage of the opportunity at this time!
Shame on you!
shameless!
Old man!
Traitor!

The elders started cursing at each other, but the elder from Biluo Peak was still smiling brightly. "Go ahead and curse me, I've already received my disciple. I just got lucky, so what? Hehehehe!"
So everyone flew away with Feng Ting, cursing all the way.
