Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 10 Spiritual Root Grades
The detection of spiritual roots was very fast, and Yu Yunyi and Li Yunjing continued to move forward.

At first, Li Yunjing was quite interested in watching other people's test results, but as one by one they were eliminated, Li Yunjing's heart sank.

This seems a bit difficult!

Out of ten people, at least six or seven will be eliminated.

Only a few individuals were able to show a happy smile after being tested.

"Wait a minute, I won't be unable to get through, will I?"

Before arriving at the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", Li Yunjing was full of confidence, believing that with his talent, he could even master a piece of trashy Qi Refining Manual, and his aptitude was definitely one in ten thousand!

At this moment, seeing so many people eliminated, not even qualified to be a menial disciple.

How could he not be worried about such a rigorous inspection?

This reminded Li Yunjing of her first job interview, when her heart was pounding and she was so nervous she kept drinking water…

Now, it seems that's the case.

After everyone had completed their tests, it was finally Yu Yunyi's turn after 15 minutes.

Li Yunjing was placed in the second testing position.

"Come here, press your forehead against this stone mirror!"

A young man in a blue Taoist robe mechanically repeated the words he had said dozens of times.

However, this time, his tone was much gentler. A woman like Yu Yunyi added some color to his monotonous work.

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, Yu Yunyi approached the white jade platform, which was five feet high, with an ancient stone mirror standing on it.

As soon as Yu Yunyi approached, the mirror emitted a soft white light.

The white light fell on Yu Yunyi's smooth forehead, and immediately, a change occurred.

The light on the stone mirror changed, from white light to black and white light, and the light was extremely bright.

Both beams of light shot out more than a foot long, and beneath the black and white light, there were also faint traces of blue, yellow, and red. However, these three colors of light were only a little over an inch long and were completely obscured by the black and white light.

If Li Yunjing hadn't been standing just a foot behind Yu Yunyi, he really wouldn't have been able to see this scene clearly.

Is this the concrete manifestation of the spiritual root?

"what!!!"

The blue-robed Taoist priest exclaimed in surprise, rubbing his eyes vigorously with an expression of disbelief.

"Dual top-grade spiritual roots of metal and water!"

The young Taoist swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke loudly.

"Ok?"

In the void, the old Taoist priest, who was standing with his hands behind his back, heard these words. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and in the next instant, a blur flashed by, and he was already standing in front of Yu Yunyi.

"Please state your name and background!"

The old Taoist asked coldly, though his voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that even someone like him could not remain indifferent to the appearance of two top-grade spiritual roots, one of gold and one of water.

At this time, none of the people in the square were registered.

Because eight or nine out of ten will be eliminated.

Over time, the Shenxiao Dao Sect changed its rules, and only those who passed the examination were registered.

As for your ability to come to the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" to participate in the assessment, that's irrelevant; it doesn't matter where you're from or what faction you belong to. Therefore, this old Taoist didn't know Yu Yunyi's background either.

“Reporting to Senior! This disciple is Yue Mingcheng, and the name is Yu Yunyi.”

Yu Yunyi remained expressionless and calm, showing no signs of nervousness despite the experienced and powerful man's presence.

"Yue Mingcheng?"

"The Yu family?"

The old Taoist priest was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said in a deep voice, "Coming from a family, indeed a first-rate talent!"

"Thank you for the compliment, senior!"

Yu Yunyi chuckled softly.

"Your cultivation has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, you have a top-tier spiritual root, and you also have the Yu family's identity as a guarantee, so you can be directly promoted to a true disciple!"

The old Taoist's expression softened considerably, and he explained his arrangements for Yunyi.

The old Taoist's voice clearly echoed throughout the square, and the other trial participants all showed expressions of envy.

Li Yunjing, who was standing behind Yu Yunyi, was no exception.

"A true disciple!"

At this moment, Li Yunjing understood that in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", disciples were divided into miscellaneous disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.

The menial disciples were all below the third level of Qi Refining, and their spiritual roots were at the middle grade.

Outer disciples are those below the sixth level of Qi Refining, and their spiritual roots must be at least of medium grade.

The inner disciples are at the late stage of Qi Refining, between the seventh and ninth levels. These people are required to have high-grade spiritual roots and have a 100% chance of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Only disciples like these can be promoted to inner disciples.

True disciples are different; they don't need to consider cultivation level, only spiritual root, which must be of the highest grade!
According to their attributes, most people have one of the five elements, but there are also special spiritual roots, such as lightning spiritual roots, ice spiritual roots, dark spiritual roots, yin-yang spiritual roots, etc.

Having a special spiritual root can be called a special constitution.

Not everyone possesses spiritual roots; only a small number of people with spiritual roots are born among the vast number of mortals.

Most people with spiritual roots have low-grade spiritual roots. Such people are mostly independent cultivators, members of small families or sects. Large sects, such as the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", do not accept low-grade spiritual roots.

Most of those eliminated earlier had low-grade spiritual roots. With such aptitude, they wouldn't even qualify to be a menial servant within the sect.

This is why the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are extremely arrogant towards outsiders; they are inherently superior to others.

In this world, there is also a very mature testing method for classifying the grade of spiritual roots.

For example, according to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect's" examination, a low-grade spiritual root is basically within three inches of light; a mid-grade spiritual root is basically within six inches; a high-grade spiritual root is more than nine inches; and a top-grade spiritual root is more than one foot.

Spiritual roots are not singular. For example, Yu Yunyi has excellent metal and water attributes, but her other three attributes—wood, earth, and fire—are overshadowed by the dual brilliance of metal and water. In fact, those three attributes also have a lower grade level.

Every person with a spiritual root has at least one type of spiritual root, and some have as many as five or six. In the cultivation world, the most people have been found to have more than ten types of spiritual root attributes.

However, that person did not leave behind a world-shaking reputation. Instead, even entering the gate was extremely difficult. Like ordinary people, he died of old age before the age of one hundred.

The more spiritual root attributes you have, the better; the higher the grade, the better.

Yu Yunyi, with her exceptional dual spiritual roots of metal and water, is a rare and invaluable disciple.

They are potential powerhouses with the potential to advance to the Golden Core stage.

It was precisely for this reason that the Yu family, fearing that this outstanding junior's development would be hindered, sent him to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".
