Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

[Spiritual Root Classification: In order, Mixed Spiritual Root < Triple Spiritual Root < Dual Spiritual Root < Heavenly Spiritual Root (Single Spiritual Root) < Mutated Spiritual Root < Innate Spiritual Root < Chaotic Spiritual Root (The latter three have a very low probability of appearing, almost zero)]

[Spiritual Root Attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth; Special and Rare Spiritual Root Attributes: Wind, Lightning, Ice, Light, Darkness, Space]

Without a doubt, Bai Xiaobai, as the "first" in this introductory disciple assessment, was also the first to participate in the test.

Ling Tian knew about his junior sister's situation and, fearing she would feel bad, gently touched her little head that was peeking out with his finger to comfort her, then lowered his head and whispered something.

"Junior Sister, it's alright. Just focus on the test. Spiritual roots don't completely represent one's cultivation aptitude. Besides, you didn't detect any spiritual roots before, perhaps it wasn't the right time. Now that you can speak, maybe your spiritual roots will be detected."

"Besides, your fifth senior brother only has three spiritual roots, but he still managed to form his core."

Bai Xiaobai knew that he said that simply to comfort her and to relieve her of any psychological burden.

However, the path of cultivation truly depends on spiritual roots and their attributes.

The more superior one's spiritual root and attributes, the more efficient one's cultivation will be.

Of course, there are exceptions, but they are rare.

Although she had given up hope of having spiritual roots, she still felt a warmth in her heart when she heard her senior brother's gentle words of comfort.

Moreover, she never expected that her senior brother Yuanbao, who was already at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, would actually have only ordinary three spiritual roots.

With the aptitude of three spiritual roots, he cultivated to the Golden Core stage in just a hundred years. Regardless of the effort he put in, a large part of the credit should go to his "Sleeping Beauty" master.

All five of his disciples achieved the Core Formation stage within a century.

So, perhaps under his tutelage, this useless spirit who can't take form might actually be able to change.

She nodded to Ling Tian, ​​who was gazing at her tenderly, then slowly climbed out of his collar and headed towards the spirit-testing stone.

Today's spirit-testing stone is completely different from yesterday's; on the surface, it looks like a small, ordinary stone.

Compared to yesterday's sleek and impressive spirit-testing pillar, it lost out in appearance alone.

But the fact that this spirit-testing stone appeared at the new disciples' initiation ceremony today suggests that this stone must have something special about it.

As she drew closer, she sensed an incredibly powerful and ancient aura. And strangely, this aura gave her a feeling of familiarity.

Bai Xiaobai tilted her head in confusion, it seemed she had guessed correctly.

Let her see what's so special about this ordinary stone.

She swam quickly and soon arrived at the spirit-testing stone. Without much hesitation, she coiled her body around the stone.

However......

Unsurprisingly, the spirit stone reacted the same way as yesterday.

There was no movement.

Soon, whispers began to circulate below.

"Knowing full well that she's a useless person with no spiritual roots, why send her up there to do anything? It's just a waste of everyone's time."

"Exactly, what are you thinking at Xiaoyao Peak? They treat such a good-for-nothing like a treasure, even having Senior Brother Lingtian personally bring her here to participate in the new disciple initiation ceremony."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Didn't you see that Gu Lingxi and the other two were warned just now?"

"What are you afraid of? You piece of trash, you won't even let me..."

However, a gasp completely interrupted the whispers of the crowd.

"Golden, it's actually golden! My god, it's metal-attribute, could it be a golden-attribute celestial spiritual root?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sudden, startling breath, and even the elders stood up in shock.

Suddenly, the spirit-testing stone, which had been completely empty, burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

The sudden appearance of the golden light shocked everyone.

So the useless snake in the spirit world actually has a heavenly spiritual root with the metal element?

How is that possible?

It should be noted that a golden-attribute celestial spiritual root is even rarer than Gu Lingxi's water-attribute celestial spiritual root.

But clearly, when testing the spirit pillar yesterday, Bai Xiaobai didn't reveal any spiritual root, let alone any attributes.

Could it be that the test was wrong yesterday?

Or perhaps the measurement was inaccurate today?

Li Qingshan, whose face was swollen like a steamed bun, rubbed his eyes, which were now just slits, uncertainly.

When they confirmed that the light appearing on the spirit-testing stone was indeed golden, they were shocked and their mouths dropped open.

Could it be that their Qingxiao Sect is finally going to have a Heavenly Spiritual Root with a Metal Attribute?

After confirming that the spirit stone truly possessed a golden attribute, the color gradually faded from the faces of Gu Lingxi, Zhang Sheng, and He Zheng.

They felt less humiliated by being publicly reprimanded because Bai Xiaobai still couldn't be detected to have any spiritual root attributes.

But in the blink of an eye, this piece of junk actually tested positive for metallic properties?

Or is it a Heavenly Spiritual Root?

How is that possible?

No, there must be a mistake in the measurement.

Gu Lingxi clenched her fists tightly, the shock and anger almost causing the blood in her veins that she had managed to suppress to surge up again.

Her eyes were fixed on the patch of white beneath the dazzling gold.

Thinking that he was only a water-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root, which was already rare, how could a useless person who couldn't take form suddenly become a metal-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root overnight?

That's impossible, there must be some mistake.

Bai Xiaobai has already caused me to lose face twice. If she really is a metal-attribute celestial spiritual root, which is even rarer than water, then I will become a complete laughing stock.

She was so flustered that she completely ignored Ling Tian's warning.

He angrily pointed at the white figure on the spirit-testing stone.

"Yesterday she was a useless person whose spiritual root could not be detected at all, how could she suddenly become a heavenly spiritual root of the metal element overnight? This is impossible, there must be a mistake in the test."

As soon as Gu Lingxi finished speaking, she received unanimous agreement from Zhang Sheng and He Zheng.

"Yes, if she truly possessed a rare metal-attribute spiritual root, how could she still be an incorrigible waste after a hundred years of cultivation? The test must have been wrong. And this spirit-testing stone, it looks like just an ordinary rock, what can it possibly detect?"

The two had barely finished speaking when they were reprimanded by a group of elders.

"You bastards! This spirit-testing stone is the supreme treasure of our sect, the foundation of our sect. How dare you say it's just an ordinary stone?"

However, they only scolded the two men, saying that the spirit-testing stone was just an ordinary stone.

As for whether Bai Xiaobai possesses a heavenly spiritual root with the metal element, they dare not guarantee it.

After all, this happened far too suddenly.

Ling Tian stared intently at the three men, somewhat annoyed that he hadn't been strong enough to knock these three reckless fools unconscious with a single blow.

But at the same time, I was also very confused.

Could it be that Junior Sister really has a metal-attribute celestial spiritual root?

But if one truly possesses such outstanding spiritual roots, it shouldn't be impossible for them to take human form even after a hundred years.
