Su Yuan and the other two quickly arrived at the square.
Many Disciples had already gathered there.
Su Yuan and the others found their respective positions and stood still.
This time, the standing positions were different; they were arranged according to the ranking from the previous Cultivation test.
Su Yuan stood in the 118th position, and Zhang Wei stood in the 143rd position.
Several Disciples with Medium Grade Spiritual Roots on both sides looked at Su Yuan more than a few times.
Su Yuan revealed an awkward yet polite smile.
Wu Jing happened to be nearby and greeted Su Yuan.
"Senior Brother Su Yuan, long time no see!" Wu Jing said with a smile.
"So it's Senior Brother Wu Jing. How is your Cultivation? Are you sure about the Outer Sect?" Su Yuan exchanged pleasantries with a smile.
"Haha, almost, almost there!" Wu Jing smiled and asked, "Senior Brother Su Yuan, which peak do you plan to go to?"
Su Yuan was somewhat surprised to hear this, saying, "We can choose ourselves?"
"Naturally. We are not like those Disciples ranked in the top ten; they might be chosen by the Peak Lords of various peaks. For Outer Sect Disciples like us, it's first-come, first-served. As long as there are still spots, you can enter the peak you wish to go to."
"So that's how it is!" Su Yuan nodded, feeling relieved now.
He had already thoroughly understood the general situation of the Seven Absolutes Sect in the Library Pavilion.
The Seven Absolutes Sect has a total of seven peaks, known for their seven absolutes: Pill Absolute, Artifact Absolute, Spell Absolute; Divine Absolute, Spirit Absolute, Thunder Absolute, and Profound Absolute!
Pill Absolute and Artifact Absolute refer to the two arts of Alchemy and Artifact Refining. The Seven Absolutes Peaks possess unique skills in these two areas and are the two pillars of the Sect's income generation.
Next, Spell Absolute is characterized by its exquisite and complex Spells, Divine Absolute is known for its powerful spiritual sense and Divine Sense, Spirit Absolute has in-depth research into Spiritual Power and Spiritual Qi, Thunder Absolute is about Thunder Attribute Cultivation Techniques, needless to say, and finally, Profound Absolute is very mysterious, with the fewest members among all peaks, and the Library Pavilion also does not have detailed descriptions.
Wu Jing sighed, "It would be great if one could be chosen by a Peak Lord. I heard that such Disciples are called Core Seeds and will receive better nurturing. However, this is exclusive to Heaven-Defying Spiritual Roots and High Grade Spiritual Roots. A Medium Grade Spiritual Root like mine has no chance at all!"
Su Yuan shook his head, thinking, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Being chosen would be a bad thing!"
Gradually, the time arrived, and over a thousand Disciples had gathered in the square.
Everyone looked expectantly at the high platform above, which was currently empty, with not a single person in sight.
Experienced Disciples had already looked up.
Su Yuan also very familiarly looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, a speck of starlight fell from the sky, and in mid-air, it burst into hundreds of bright star-lights, still shining dazzlingly in broad daylight.
The Disciples widened their eyes, only to see that after hundreds of star-lights fell, they re-converged in the center of the high platform, forming the familiar figure of the Valley Lord.
"This old man…" Su Yuan secretly thought he was a show-off. After all that, it turned out to be the Valley Lord himself!
The Valley Lord grinned, looking at the speechless Disciples, and said with a laugh, "The three-month period has arrived. Thinking back to three months ago, it feels like yesterday. This is the starting point of your journey into Cultivation. I hope you will persevere from now on…"
This familiar tone made Su Yuan's forehead covered in black lines.
After a full quarter of an hour, a cough came from overhead.
The Valley Lord's voice came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone looked up, only to see that above them, seven floating thrones had appeared at some point. On the thrones sat seven Cultivators with different appearances! There were men and women, old and young!
The old Valley Lord introduced, "This Cultivation test will be observed by the seven Peak Lords! Now, let's warmly welcome the arrival of the seven Peak Lords!"
The seven thrones descended from the sky and landed lightly on the high platform.
Su Yuan saw that on the backrests of the thrones, there was a single character each: Pill, Artifact, Spell, Divine, Spirit, Thunder, and Profound, clearly indicating the Peak Lords of each peak.
The seven Peak Lords were also observing the Immortal Seedlings, but most of their attention was on Ye Bufan and Liu Muwan.
"This batch of Disciples is quite good!" The Pill Absolute Peak Lord said with a smile.
"There are two Heaven-Defying Spiritual Roots, one more than usual. Last time it wasn't my turn, so this time it should be my turn to pick!" The Spell Absolute Peak Lord said.
"According to the order, it is indeed the Spell Absolute Peak's turn to pick first this time! But it also depends on whether they are willing." The Valley Lord said.
The Spell Absolute Peak Lord was very calm; he didn't believe anyone would refuse a Peak Lord's personal invitation.
The Divine Absolute Peak Lord smiled. She was the second to choose and could also pick a Heaven-Defying Spiritual Root.
The Spirit Absolute Peak Lord frowned slightly, beckoned the Valley Lord over, and transmitted, "Among the High Grade Spiritual Roots, which one has the most potential?"
The Valley Lord immediately replied, "Liu Miaowen is quite good."
The Spirit Absolute Peak Lord's expression softened slightly, and he nodded, "Good, I won't mistreat you."
The Thunder Absolute Peak Lord was the calmest, because he didn't need to pick; he just needed to choose the best performing Thunder Attribute Spiritual Root.
The Profound Absolute Peak Lord, Wang Siming, also beckoned the Valley Lord over.
He asked, "Among this batch of Disciples, besides those who might be chosen, which of the remaining Disciples is the best?!"
The Valley Lord showed hesitation.
Wang Siming's eyelids twitched, and he said, "A two-hundred-year-old Purple Sun Flower!"
The Valley Lord's expression brightened, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Wang Siming's eyes, instead, lit up: "Add another Kaiyang Stone!"
The Valley Lord's eyes brightened, and he said, "Su Yuan! This kid is good!"
"Among the High Grade Spiritual Roots, there doesn't seem to be such a person!" Wang Siming asked.
He had naturally obtained the roster of High Grade Spiritual Root Disciples in advance.
"He is a Low Grade Three Spiritual Root, token number 299. During the first test, he ranked 118th, and this time, it's probably even higher!"
After the Valley Lord finished speaking, he said no more and was soon called away by the Peak Lords of the Pill Peak and Artifact Peak.
Wang Siming fell into deep thought. Lan Si, that old fellow, was very accurate in judging people. A Low Grade Spiritual Root that could catch his eye definitely had something extraordinary about him, but the Profound Absolute Peak had always preferred quality over quantity. Taking a Low Grade Spiritual Root into the peak had no precedent before!
He fell into contemplation.
The Valley Lord waved his hand, and the Magical Artifact for the test landed in front of the Disciples. He said with a chuckle, "Now, all Disciples who wish to enter the Outer Sect or above, step forward. The rest of the Disciples, stand back."
At this, over 700 Disciples reluctantly stood back. They knew their limitations and that it was impossible for them to enter the Outer Sect. There was no need for them to even be tested, saving them the embarrassment in front of the Peak Lords.
Zhou Wuyou very simply followed the crowd. He placed all his hopes on Su Yuan. Whether he could enter the Outer Sect depended on Su Yuan.
If he could enter the Outer Sect through Su Yuan's recommendation, the benefits would be even greater than entering normally, because he would then be Su Yuan's person. With an Inner Sect Disciple as his backer, he could demand more resources from his Family, and the difference in that was not small!
Only over 250 people remained on the field, especially the Disciples ranked at the back, whose expressions were extremely tense.
"Starting with those ranked at the front for the test. First, Ye Bufan, please come to the stage!" The Valley Lord said.
Ye Bufan was startled, then walked to the stage with a composed expression.
The seven Peak Lords all observed Ye Bufan, as if looking at a peerless jade!
A Heaven-Defying Dual Spiritual Root Aptitude was already a super good talent! Golden Core was a certainty, and Nascent Soul was also hopeful. Which Peak Lord wouldn't want such a Disciple?
Ye Bufan bowed to the seven.
"Bufan greets the Peak Lords!"
The seven all smiled and nodded in response.
After Ye Bufan finished his bow, he walked onto the jade platform, glanced back at the Disciple team, especially pausing on Liu Muwan and Su Yuan, a proud smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and placed his hands on the jade stone.
Dazzling light illuminated the light pillar, drawing everyone's attention.
The text on the stone slab appeared.
"30132 strands of Spiritual Power"
"10 Spiritual Apertures opened"
"Qi Refining Fourth Layer"
Everyone gasped in surprise!
"Qi Refining Fourth Layer? With just this Cultivation, he can directly enter the Outer Sect!"
"His surplus Spiritual Power is as high as 30,000 strands. How exactly did he Cultivate? Heaven-Defying!"
"The gap is too big!"
The Peak Lords of each peak also praised him endlessly.
"In three months, without using a large amount of resources, just by his own Cultivation, he reached the Qi Refining Fourth Layer. Extremely outstanding!" The Pill Absolute Peak Lord said with a smile.
"He's not far from 11 apertures either, not bad!" The Artifact Absolute Peak Lord also nodded.
Ye Bufan smiled calmly.
At this moment, the Spell Absolute Peak Lord spoke, "This Lord is the Peak Lord of Spell Absolute Peak. Are you willing to join Spell Absolute Peak?"
Ye Bufan heard this and respectfully said, "Disciple is willing!"
"Good, good, good, come here!"
Ye Bufan calmly walked to the side of the Spell Absolute Peak Lord.
Everyone showed envy. Ye Bufan had now directly become a Core Disciple candidate, chosen directly by a Peak Lord.
After Ye Bufan, Liu Muwan also came forward.
Liu Muwan didn't make as much of a show and directly placed her hands on the jade stone.
"1903 strands of Spiritual Power"
"10 Spiritual Apertures opened"
"Qi Refining Fourth Layer"
Another Qi Refining Fourth Layer!
However, with Ye Bufan having gone before, although everyone was still amazed, they had calmed down much more.
Liu Muwan looked up at the various Peak Lords.
The Divine Absolute Peak Lord smiled gently, "Girl, come to me!"
"Alright!" Liu Muwan obediently stood beside the Peak Lord of Divine Absolute Peak.
At this, both Heaven-Defying Spiritual Roots were chosen!
The existence of two Qi Refining Fourth Layers was a cliff-like lead, but anyone could see that Ye Bufan was also far ahead of Liu Muwan.
The third person was Zheng He!
He also bowed with a smile on his face, but the Peak Lords' responses were much more subdued, though at least they still responded.
Zheng He's results were not bad either.
"1289 strands of Spiritual Power"
"8 Spiritual Apertures opened"
"Qi Refining Third Layer"
This was already an extremely outstanding result, and the Peak Lords all gave affirming praise.
He looked expectantly at the Spirit Absolute Peak Lord.
But the Spirit Absolute Peak Lord did not speak. After a round, finally, the Artifact Absolute Peak Lord spoke, "I see you have Metal Attribute. Come to me to learn Artifact Refining!"
"Yes!" Zheng He was invigorated. Finally, a Peak Lord wanted him.
Zheng He also came to the side of the Artifact Peak Lord.
Next, Liu Miaowen also reached the eight-aperture progress and was taken in by the Spirit Absolute Peak Lord.
After that, a Thunder Spiritual Root Disciple was taken in by the Thunder Absolute Peak Lord, and a Fire-Wood Dual Attribute High Grade Spiritual Root was taken in by the Pill Absolute Peak.
Finally, only the Profound Absolute Peak Lord remained on the stage, still undecided, which made the High Grade Spiritual Root Disciples feel both anticipation and torment during their tests.
Su Yuan watched calmly from below,
He didn't care about the Peak Lord selection at all. He was looking forward to having a good meal once he reached the peak. He had been eating Fasting Pills for three months and was sick of them!
Unconsciously, it was Su Yuan's turn for the Cultivation test.
He stood on the high platform and calmly placed his hands on the jade slab.
Then, he looked at the stone slab, his expression as usual.
"8083 strands of Spiritual Power"
"7 Spiritual Apertures opened"
"Qi Refining Third Layer"
Suppressed gasps of surprise came from below the stage, but compared to the Heaven-Defying Spiritual Roots, this achievement was nothing much.
Su Yuan felt that although it was a bit high-profile, it wasn't too high-profile.
"Ding, Fame Value +1"
"Ding, Fame Value +1"
"Ding, Fame Value +1"
The System prompt sounded three times and then stopped. It was only 3 Fame Value in total. His Fame Value had reached 57 points; these Disciples had been squeezed dry by him!
Just as Su Yuan was about to step down, the Profound Absolute Peak Lord spoke.
"Su Yuan, are you willing to join Profound Absolute Peak?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was shocked!
Even the other Peak Lords all looked over.
