Zhao Yang felt a sense of frustration, unsure if the young man had heard his words. He suspected that the boy's cultivation was not weak, as he sensed a vast wave of Spirit Energy emanating from him. If they were to confront each other, Zhao Yang had no confidence in winning without using the Seventy-Third Transformation divine technique. Since he had promised Li Yunshan to let him join the Sect, he would keep his word. If necessary, he could always seek out Li Yunshan again later; after all, as a genius of the Myriad Spirit Sect, he would surely be in high demand. Such a small request was hardly unreasonable.
After returning to the back hall of the Sect, the young man could not resist the temptation that haunted his dreams day and night. He quietly took out the book "Gentleman" from his pocket and was about to flip through it when a familiar voice suddenly called out from behind him.
“Shixiong, where have you been? If the Outer Sect Elder finds out, I’ll be punished again.” A pale-faced Weak Youth stood nervously behind him.
“Calm down, calm down. You’re acting like I’m going to get you in trouble. If the Outer Sect Elder dares to punish you, I’ll back you up,” the young man replied with a pout. He waved his hand in front of the youth, revealing an image of Zhao Yang. “You go keep an eye on the Spirit Testing Gate for anyone coming to test their Spiritual Root. If you spot this person, tell the Spirit Testing Officer to let him through—just say it’s my order.”
“Yes, I understand,” the Weak Youth replied and was about to take his leave when the distinguished young man called him back.
“I have a leftover pill from long ago. Seeing how weak you are, take it,” he said, flicking a red pill toward the Weak Youth.
The youth caught the pill and his face lit up with joy. He quickly bowed and said, “Thank you, Shixiong, for this Foundation Pill! Your kindness is like that of a second parent to me. From now on, I will follow your lead and obey your commands…”
“Alright, alright. Hurry up and go take care of what I asked. I need to rest for a bit,” the young man said impatiently, waving his hand.
The Weak Youth bowed deeply and left with immense happiness. Once outside the back hall, he carefully examined the pill in his hand before cautiously tucking it away in his pocket and murmuring to himself, “Finally, I can start building my foundation!”
After returning to the line of people waiting at the Myriad Spirit Sect's Spirit Testing Gate, Zhao Yang kept glancing back at the back hall with confusion.
“This kid can’t be some kind of pure-hearted fool who doesn’t know what he’s missing out on. We’re about to test our Spiritual Roots and he’s still hiding away—could he really be uninterested in girls? That doesn’t seem right!” Shaking his head, Zhao Yang dismissed his thoughts and leaned closer to Li Yunshan’s ear. “Don’t worry; I’ve taken care of your entry into the Sect.”
Li Yunshan nodded, trusting Zhao Yang completely.
“Thank you so much, Brother Zhao.”
“No need for thanks between brothers. Once we’re in Myriad Spirit Sect, we’ll need to help each other out. Although we’ve made it into Myriad Spirit Sect, there are all sorts of people inside; it won’t be easy. If we end up separated after joining, you’ll need to be extra careful.”
“Understood, Brother Zhao.”
The Weak Youth who had just exited from the back hall dared not defy any of the young man's words. He carefully watched every newcomer passing through the Spirit Testing Gate, afraid of missing any instructions given by the young man.
"After ten years of entry, I might finally have a chance to build a foundation. If it weren't for Elder Hong from the Outer Sect arranging for me to take care of this little ancestor, I fear I would never have another opportunity!" The young man clenched his fists and sighed.
"Wow, another genius! Although we can only test his Spiritual Root attributes after entering the sect, the crystal is shining so intensely that he must either be a dual Spiritual Root genius or a Single Attribute Spiritual Root genius!"
"Yeah, who would have thought we would encounter so many geniuses on the last day? This generation of disciples is likely much stronger than ours!"
"I'm just afraid there will be many deaths as well!"
"Shh, don't say that! If the Outer Sect Elder hears us, we'll be in trouble."
"Sigh, fine, I spoke out of turn."
Zhao Yang, overhearing the two Spirit Testing Officers discussing the numerous geniuses in this generation, couldn't help but feel proud: "Of course, a peerless talent like me needs some geniuses to serve as a backdrop!"
Before long, it was their turn for the spirit testing. Seeing those ahead of them pay twenty taels of silver before testing their Spiritual Roots, Zhao Yang realized that there was an entrance fee for the testing. Twenty taels of silver was equivalent to twenty thousand in previous terms. He handed over forty taels of silver to the Spirit Testing Officer, which amounted to forty thousand, causing him some pain in his heart.
Song Qianqiu noticed the young man that Zhao Yang had pointed out earlier—now visibly excited—and when Zhao Yang saw a Weak Youth behind the Spirit Testing Officer nodding at him, he guessed that this youth was sent by the eccentric boy to handle matters. He returned the nod and then pulled Li Yunshan forward, indicating for him to go first for the Spiritual Root test.
Song Qianqiu felt puzzled and didn't understand Zhao Yang's intentions but instinctively nodded. Seeing the youth nod back eased Zhao Yang's mind.
Li Yunshan felt anxious as he followed the Spirit Testing Officer's instructions and walked through the Spirit Testing Gate. As he passed through, the eight-sided crystal above his head immediately emitted an incredibly bright light.
The crowd gasped in astonishment.
"Another genius! Even brighter than the previous one. Could he also be a Single Attribute Spiritual Root genius?"
"Indeed! It seems our Yuwang City is blessed with talent. King Yu was also a Single Attribute Spiritual Root genius who reached the Great Ascension stage, overpowering his peers and eventually establishing the vast Yuwang City with permission from the Central Sovereign!"
"It's not that simple. If Single Attribute Spiritual Roots were so common, various sects in the cultivation world wouldn't need to search everywhere for geniuses. We still have to wait until they enter and undergo an Attribute Test to determine who is truly a genius!"
"Li Yunshan, after passing the Spirit Testing Gate's Spiritual Root assessment, is the two thousand nine hundred eighty-second qualified candidate. Here is your identity badge. Please queue on the left and wait. Once the Spiritual Root testing is complete, we will head to Yuwang City’s Teleportation Array to return to Myriad Spirit Sect and prepare for tomorrow's Attribute Test."
Zhao Yang nodded, thinking that the peculiar young man was quite capable. Not only had he managed to bring his companions into the Sect, but he had also done so with remarkable flair. Li Yunshan never expected that his Spiritual Root would cause the crystal at the Spirit Testing Gate to emit such a brilliant light. Ten years ago, when he was five, he lacked the ten taels of silver needed for the Spiritual Root test. It was a passing cultivator who noticed the fluctuations of Spirit Energy within him and informed him that he possessed a Spiritual Root.
A decade had passed, and Li Yunshan had considered using money begged from others to pay for his own Spiritual Root test. However, each time he witnessed beggars struggling to find enough food and warmth, he felt a pang of guilt.
He turned to Zhao Yang, his eyes filled with endless gratitude. If it weren't for Zhao Yang, he would never have had the chance to escape from the beggar's den or enter the world of Cultivation. From Zhao Yang's actions, he learned that destiny is in one's own hands, and his mindset began to shift unconsciously.
Zhao Yang gave Li Yunshan an OK gesture before stepping into the Spirit Testing Gate.
The expected gasps did not occur. Zhao Yang was ready to extend his arms like an Olympic athlete and bow to the audience around him when a cold, indifferent voice interrupted.
"Zhao Yang, no Spiritual Root. You have failed the Spirit Testing Gate's Spiritual Root assessment and cannot Cultivate. Please exit to the right."
Zhao Yang's movements halted abruptly as he swallowed hard and said, "Sir, are you sure there isn't a mistake?"
The expressionless Spirit Testing Officer replied, "Are you questioning my competence? Furthermore, even if I were mistaken, the Spirit Testing Gate would not be wrong. You have been disqualified. If you wish to remain here, you will need to pay an additional twenty taels of silver for a retest."
