The speed of measuring the Spirit Root was swift. Yu Yunyi and Li Yunjing continued to move forward.
At first, Li Yunjing was still quite interested in watching the results of others' tests, but as one by one got eliminated, his heart sank.
It seems a bit difficult!
Out of ten people, at least six or seven would be eliminated.
Only a few people could show a happy smile after the test.
"Will I really fail to pass?"
Before coming to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," Li Yunjing was full of confidence. He believed that with his talent, even picking up a trash Qi Refining Technique could allow him to enter the Sect. In terms of qualifications, he was definitely one in a million!
At this moment, seeing so many people being eliminated without even qualifying to be a Servant Disciple.
With such a harsh examination, how could he not worry?
This reminded Li Yunjing of the first job interview in his life. At that time, his heart was pounding, and he kept drinking water from nervousness...
Now, it seemed to be the same.
As one person after another completed the test, after a quarter of an hour, it was finally Yu Yunyi's turn.
And Li Yunjing was in the second position for the test.
"Come over and place your forehead close to this Stone Mirror!"
A young man in a blue Daoist robe mechanically repeated the words he had said dozens of times.
However, this time, his tone was much kinder. A woman like Yu Yunyi added some color to his monotonous work.
With a slight nod, Yu Yunyi approached the White Jade Platform. The platform was five feet high, and an ancient Stone Mirror stood on it.
Once Yu Yunyi got close, the mirror instantly emitted a soft white light.
The white light fell on Yu Yunyi's smooth forehead and immediately changed.
The light on the Stone Mirror changed from white to black and white light, which was extremely dazzling.
The two beams of light both extended over a foot, and under the cover of the black and white light, there were faint hints of green, yellow, and red. However, these three colors were only slightly over an inch long, completely overshadowed by the black and white light.
If Li Yunjing hadn't been standing one zhang behind Yu Yunyi, he really wouldn't have been able to see this scene clearly.
Is this the specific manifestation of the Spirit Root?
The Daoist in the blue robe exclaimed, couldn't help but rub his eyes hard, showing a look of disbelief.
"Gold and Water dual Top Grade Spirit Root!"
The young Daoist swallowed hard and loudly said with a trembling voice.
The old Daoist standing with his hands behind his back in the void heard this, and a glint flashed in his eyes. In the next instant, a silhouette flashed by, and he was already standing in front of Yu Yunyi.
"State your name and origin!"
The old Daoist asked coldly, but his voice had a trace of tremor. Obviously, even a person like him couldn't remain indifferent to the appearance of a dual Top Grade Spirit Root of Gold and Water.
At this time, no one in the square had been registered.
Because nine out of ten would be eliminated.
Over time, "Shenxiao Dao Sect" changed its rules: only those who passed the assessment would be registered.
As for those who came to "Shenxiao Dao Sect" for the assessment, no one cared about their origins or the forces they came from.
Hence, the old Daoist didn't know Yu Yunyi's background.
"Reporting to Senior! Disciple from 'Yue Ming City,' Yu Yunyi."
Yu Yunyi showed no expression, her demeanor calm, not showing any tension because of the old Daoist's strength.
"A person from the Yu Family?"
The old Daoist was slightly taken aback. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Coming from the Yu Family, no wonder the qualifications are top-notch!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior!"
Yu Yunyi smiled softly.
"Your cultivation has reached the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, you possess top-tier Spirit Roots, and you have the Yu Family background as a guarantee. You can directly advance to a True Disciple!"
The old Daoist's expression softened considerably as he announced Yu Yunyi's placement.
The old Daoist's clear voice spread throughout the square, causing trial takers in other teams to show envious looks.
Even Li Yunjing behind Yu Yunyi was no exception.
At this moment, Li Yunjing already understood that in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," disciples were categorized into Servant Disciples, Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, and True Disciples.
Servant Disciples were those below the Third Layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm and had Middle Grade Spirit Roots.
Outer Disciples were below the Sixth Layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm, and their Spirit Roots' minimum requirement was above Middle Grade.
Inner Disciples were in the late stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm, from the Seventh to Ninth Layer. These individuals' Spirit Roots needed to be High Grade, with a ten percent chance of advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Only such disciples could advance to Inner Disciples.
True Disciples were different. They didn't need to consider cultivation levels; they only looked at Spirit Roots, which had to be Top Grade!
Based on attributes, most people had Five Elements Spirit Roots, though there were also special Spirit Roots, such as Thunder Spirit Root, Ice Spirit Root, Dark Spirit Root, and Yin Yang Spirit Root...
Possessing a special Spirit Root meant one had a special physique.
Not everyone had a Spirit Root. Among the vast number of mortals, only a few had Spirit Roots.
Most of those with Spirit Roots had Low Grade Spirit Roots. Such people were mostly from Loose Cultivators, small clans, and small sects. Large sects, like the giant "Shenxiao Dao Sect," would not accept those with Low Grade Spirit Roots.
Most of the previously eliminated were those with Low Grade Spirit Roots. Such qualifications wouldn't even qualify one to become a Servant Disciple inside the Sect.
This was why the people from "Shenxiao Dao Sect" looked at outsiders with such arrogance; they were inherently superior.
The division of Spirit Root grades in this world had a very mature method of detection.
For example, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect's" examination: Low Grade Spirit Roots usually had light within three inches; Middle Grade Spirit Roots within six inches; High Grade Spirit Roots above nine inches; Top Grade Spirit Roots above one foot.
Spirit Roots were not single attributes. For instance, Yu Yunyi's Gold and Water attributes were excellent. The other three attributes, Wood, Earth, and Fire, were overshadowed by the dual beams of Gold and Water. Actually, those three attributes were at the Low Grade level.
Every person with a Spirit Root had at least one attribute, with some having as many as five or six. In the Cultivation Realm, the most common had ten or more Spirit Root attributes.
However, that person didn't leave a remarkable name in this world. Instead, they found even entering a sect incredibly difficult and died of old age like a mortal before reaching a hundred years old.
Spirit Root attributes were not about quantity but the higher the grade, the better.
Yu Yunyi's dual Top Grade Spirit Roots of Gold and Water made her an exceptional disciple, a rare find.
She had the potential to ascend to the Golden Core Stage as one of the strong seeds.
Because of this, the Yu Family was afraid of hindering her development and thus sent her to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."
