You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

Chen Huai'an examined the purple gourd in his hand, racking his brains to recall everything that happened after he fell off the cliff, but he couldn't remember anything.

After being soaked in water for a long time, his clothes were completely wet, his skin turned white, and it was swollen.

Chen Huai'an had no choice but to put the gourd matter aside for the time being, and quickly got up. He needed to find a way to leave this place and return to the village as soon as possible.

"But where am I?" Chen Huai'an looked around. He was by a stream, and there was a huge lake not far away. He didn't know where he was.

In short, those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune.

I originally wanted to see Su Wanying again and ask her if she knew that Su Daqiang wanted to kill him.

But right now, Chen Huai'an just wants to survive.

Now, the people of Huai Shu Village probably all think he's dead.

Su Wanying should have successfully entered Qingyun Sect.

But what will his mother do after she finds out he's missing?

She was already in poor health; how would she survive without his help?

Furthermore, he also possesses spiritual roots, and if given the opportunity to join a celestial sect, he would like to do so.

Chen Huai'an composed himself. His immediate priority was to return to the village, settle his mother in, and then consider joining a sect.

Arriving at the stream, Chen Huai'an opened the purple gourd and placed it in the crystal-clear water. Since he didn't know how far it was to get back to the village, he planned to fill the gourd with water and keep it with him for later use.

"Glug! Glug! Glug..."

The purple gourd kept bubbling, and water flowed into the gourd through its opening.

"Huh, how can this gourd hold so much?" Chen Huai'an was surprised to find that after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the gourd was still not full.

Chen Huai'an had just turned eighteen, but he still had the mind of a teenager. He refused to believe that this strange purple gourd could not be filled.

I picked it up and shook it; it wasn't full, so I kept filling it with water.

While Chen Huai'an was busy filling the gourd with water, he was unaware that the water level of the huge lake not far away was dropping at a visible rate.

"Could this thing be a treasure?"

More than half an hour later, Chen Huai'an finally gave up. This gourd was definitely a treasure; he had been trying to fill it with water for a long time, but it still wasn't full.

Chen Huai'an had no choice but to tie the purple gourd to his waist first, and then prepare to find a way out.

"Who?"

Chen Huai'an hadn't gone far when suddenly, a sharp scolding voice rang out, followed by the rustling sound of clothes being put on.

Soon, Chen Huai'an saw a stunningly beautiful woman with wet hair, dressed in Qingyun Sect attire.

"Is this a celestial master from the Qingyun Sect?" Chen Huai'an was shocked. Where had he wandered off to? How could he have encountered a celestial master from the Qingyun Sect?

Before Chen Huai'an could utter a sound, a flying sword hovered above his head. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. If he made any sudden movement, the flying sword could pierce a hole in his body.

"Immortal Master, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. I'm lost, I don't know how I ended up here, what kind of place is this?" Chen Huai'an covered his eyes with his hands, and through his fingers he could see a shy blush on the other person's angry face.

He accidentally saw something he shouldn't have. Would the other person tear him to pieces? However, the woman in front of him was truly beautiful, like a fairy from heaven.

"Are you a newly recruited handyman disciple? Don't you know that this forbidden area in the back mountain is not a place for handyman disciples like you?" The beautiful woman glanced at Chen Huai'an, who showed no spiritual energy fluctuations and appeared to be just an ordinary mortal, before speaking indifferently.

"Immortal Master, I don't know how I got here, and now I can't find my way back!" Chen Huai'an, seeing that the other party seemed relatively easy to talk to, cautiously asked, "Immortal Master, can you take me away?"

"Very well, I was just about to return to my sect anyway. Since you're lost, I'll take you out." Seeing Chen Huai'an's anxious and fearful appearance, the beautiful woman didn't bother arguing with him.

Before Chen Huai'an could react, the stunningly beautiful woman lifted him up and then they vanished from the dense forest in a cloud of mist.

Chen Huai'an didn't know how much time had passed. When he came to his senses again, he found himself in a continuous stretch of palaces.

"Alright, go report to the front."

A beautiful woman's voice drifted over, and Chen Huai'an vaguely heard someone calling her something like "Senior Sister Qin."

I have to say, this fairy-like person, apart from being a bit cold, is actually quite a nice person.

"check in?"

As Chen Huai'an watched the stunning woman disappear, a big question mark appeared in his mind: Wasn't he supposed to be going back to Huai Shu Village?

Why did they just leave him at the Qingyun Sect?

But soon, Chen Huai'an's mind raced; this might be an opportunity.

If he can integrate into it, will he be able to become a Celestial Master?

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and line up to register. Don't think you can cut in line just because Senior Sister Qin from Misty Peak brought you here." Just as Chen Huai'an was lost in thought, a loud shout rang out, and a middle-aged man dressed in a steward's uniform was glaring fiercely at Chen Huai'an.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I'll go right away." Chen Huai'an bowed and apologized, then strode forward.

"Name, age, qualifications?" asked a young man in a gray robe who didn't seem to be very old.

"Reporting to the Immortal Master, my name is Chen Huai'an, I am eighteen years old, and I possess mixed spiritual roots of the five elements," Chen Huai'an replied respectfully.

"What? Eighteen years old, with mixed spiritual roots of the five elements?" A surprised voice rang out, and everyone around looked at Chen Huai'an with wide eyes, many curiously staring at him.

Although one with mixed spiritual roots of the five elements can cultivate, their aptitude is utterly worthless. The worst applicants to the Qingyun Sect are those with low-grade spiritual roots.

With five elemental spiritual roots and already eighteen years old, everyone is curious about how such a person entered the Qingyun Sect.

However, among the registered disciples, I remember that Chen Huai'an was brought by Senior Sister Qin from the inner sect. Perhaps he has some connection with the Qin family, so it's reasonable that he was able to pass the selection and enter the Qingyun Sect.

However, Senior Sister Qin did not instruct them to take special care of him, which put them in a difficult position. With mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, it would be impossible for him to enter the outer sect.

Therefore, we can only assign him the identity of an outer sect servant disciple for now.

Given Senior Sister Qin's status within the inner sect, it's estimated that it won't be long before she can arrange for the other party to be transferred to the outer sect and become a formal outer sect disciple.

"With mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, you will be accepted as a menial disciple in the Outer Sect's Menial Service Peak. This is your identity jade slip." The gray-robed man tossed him an identity token and a package.

"Next."

Chen Huai'an took the identity token and the package, and walked towards the small square in the courtyard with a bewildered look on his face.

At this moment, a large number of people have gathered in the small square, and they are clearly divided into groups.

Chen Huai'an stopped where several miscellaneous disciples were gathered.

Through observation, Chen Huai'an gained a certain understanding of the Qingyun Sect.

Those with low-grade spiritual roots enter the Miscellaneous Disciples Peak and become miscellaneous disciples. Those with mid-grade spiritual roots also enter the Miscellaneous Disciples Peak. Once their cultivation reaches a certain level and they pass the sect's assessment, they can enter the outer sect, or even the inner sect.

Those with superior spiritual root aptitude can directly enter the outer sect.

Different spiritual root aptitudes result in different cultivation speeds; the better the spiritual root aptitude, the faster the cultivation speed.

Although both outer sect servants and outer sect disciples belong to the outer sect, their statuses are worlds apart.

Outer disciples are responsible for miscellaneous tasks on each peak. Apart from completing the monthly tasks assigned by the sect, they only need to focus on cultivation.

The disciples who were doing menial tasks were already of poor aptitude, and they had to spend a lot of time doing all sorts of chores and tiring work assigned by the sect every day, leaving them very little time to cultivate.

Many people spend their entire lives as menial servants, handling mundane tasks for the sect, and never manage to break through to the mid-stage of the Body Refinement Realm until their death.

Even this status as a sect's menial disciple is a spot that many outsiders would fight tooth and nail for.

"Newly recruited miscellaneous disciples have seven days to cultivate. After seven days, the sect will assign corresponding tasks based on your cultivation results. The top three will be exempt from miscellaneous tasks for one month, with the same treatment as outer sect disciples. The rest will have to go to the sect's miscellaneous affairs hall to take on tasks and perform duties. The sect does not support useless people." Suddenly, a majestic shout, like muffled thunder, rang out on Miscellaneous Affairs Peak.

Chen Huai'an kept his head down, and no one noticed that he had infiltrated the Qingyun Sect. Now, he could be considered to have a legitimate identity.

That Senior Sister Qin was truly his benefactor.

Chen Huai'an made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely thank the other party properly.

Now, all he needs to do is cultivate diligently. If he gets into the top three, he can be exempted from a month of miscellaneous tasks, and then he can concentrate on his cultivation.

One step ahead, one step ahead.

Chen Huai'an's aptitude was poor to begin with, and he was too old. He had missed the best time to cultivate, so he couldn't spend all his time doing menial tasks. He had to work hard to cultivate and improve his strength to enter the top three.

"Junior Brother Chen, what's your relationship with Senior Sister Qin?" Suddenly, a disciple from the Miscellaneous Service Peak asked Chen Huai'an.
