The regret of life is to ask, but not to ask.
It had to be said that the Cloud Sky Sect's Sect Master, Hong Tao, had regrets. It was definitely not because the sect did not receive the Wind Spirit Root and Thunder Spirit Root disciples, but because of another matter.
He didn't care that the Hollow Jade Sect had a disciple with Wind Spirit Roots.
Seeing Yin Xian's divine sense travel around the plaza, he also sent out his divine sense to explore the plaza, but his goal was different from Yin Xian's. Yin Xian sent out his divine sense to check everyone's expressions and he sent out his divine sense as if he was searching for someone.
This time, the Hollow Jade Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony was an invitation to all the other sects to join in the fun. The cause and effect were too great, and the Cracking Sky Sect was too reluctant to participate in this event.
Duo Ling belonged to the beast race in the Sky Cracking Sect. She didn't care about power, nor was she good at crafting, nor did she have the right to seek help from others. She had always gone her own way and had always been forced to go to the Hollow Jade Sect.
For the Hollow Jade Sect to receive a disciple with Wind Spirit Roots, it had nothing to do with him.
The Profound Spirit Sect was established with great aspirations to save the dying and help the wounded and maintain peace in the world. Thirteen years ago, when they participated in the Shentu Village massacre, it left an indelible stain on the Profound Spirit Sect.
The couple, Yu Zijun and Nong Jianrou, were a perfect couple, with lovers finally married off. They should have had no regrets, but the two of them followed the sect master's orders and participated in the tragic case thirteen years ago, but failed to save the Shentu Family's clansmen.
In the world of cultivation, the Martial Competition held every twenty years by the orthodox sects did indeed affect the rankings and positions of the five sects. In the cultivation world, the Martial Competition held every twenty years by the orthodox sects did indeed affect the rankings and positions of the five sects.
Therefore, Yu Zhenjun and Nong Qingrou, the disciples that the Hollow Jade Sect had accepted the Wind Spirit Root this time, were only envious and not jealous.
The Hollow Jade Sect was able to accept disciples with Wind Spirit Roots. The other four sects, Yan Zong Cao Ba, was jealous. The Profound Spirit Sect's Yu Zijun and Nong liang were envious. As for the Cloud Sky Sect and Sky Cracking Sect's Duo Ling, they were indifferent.
The attitude of the people of the four great sects was similar, as was the attitude of the small sects.
The second batch of disciples, Qingfeng was the last one to go on stage. Under the gazes of envy, jealousy, and hatred of everyone, they gallantly returned to the main hall of the sect.
With the appearance of the Wind Spirit Root, the Middle Spirit Root disciple test was about to end. With his departure, the crowd began to whisper to each other. The High Spirit Root disciple test also officially began.
"Yue Yue, 12 years old, with high grade Earth Spirit Root!"
Yue Yang came in front of Hui Jing, and placed his hand on top of Hui Jing, Hui Jing immediately emitted a dazzling yellow light.
After the spiritual root attribute test, he came before the copper mirror to test his age. Standing in front of the copper mirror, the mirror immediately revealed his age.
After the age, spirit root rank and spirit root attribute test was completed, the sect elders who were in charge of testing the disciples once again announced the age and condition of the disciples.
Actually, there's no need for that elder to announce Yue Yue Yue's situation. There are no mortals here, cultivators with spiritual awareness have already known about Yue Yue Yue's situation.
However, the elder in charge of the disciple assessment announced the results of the test to everyone. He was also part of the disciple recruitment ceremony, so it was understandable to announce the results of the disciple assessment.
One year ago, Yue Yue Yue was brought into the sect and he already knew his spiritual root's attribute and level.
Actually, it wasn't just him. All the disciples who took the exam today would be informed about their spiritual roots and rank upon entering the sect.
Although they had already started cultivating within the sect and were only taking one form, they did not go through the disciple recruitment ceremony. In the end, they could not be considered disciples of the Hollow Jade Sect.
"Moqi Jiehao, 12 years old, with high grade Earth Spirit Root!"
"Han Wen of the Bull! Nine years old! High grade Earth Spirit Root!"
"Jing Rou, eleven years old, with a high level Water Spirit Root!"
"Langya, ten years old, with high-level Golden Spirit Root!"
"Ye Mu, 12 years old, high grade wood spirit root!"
"Baldy Flame, 11 years old, High Rank Fire Spirit Root!"
Seven children appeared in succession. Although this test was completed and not a single thirteen year old child had appeared, they were all high level spirit root disciples. Almost everyone present was paying extra attention.
Compared to previous years, this year, only three high-level Earth Spirit Root disciples were recruited. There were indeed a little less, but there were also four other disciples with different attributes. Yin Xian was still quite satisfied.
"There are actually fish that escaped the net, what a group of trash. Looks like all these years, these good-for-nothing disciples have been living too comfortably!"
This year, only seven disciples from the Hollow Jade Temple had high-grade spiritual roots, while last year, the number of disciples from the Flame Spirit Root was close to thirty. Cao Ba should be proud of himself.
He was originally very proud, but after seeing that the Hollow Jade Sect had received a disciple with a high rank fire spirit root, he was very unhappy. If the Hollow Jade Sect had not received a disciple with Wind Spirit Root, perhaps he would not be upset about the sect disciples doing bad things, but things would not go according to his wishes.
Not only did the Hollow Jade Temple accept an intermediary disciple with Wind Spirit Roots, they also took in a disciple with a high level Fire Spirit Root. Hence, he was jealous and angry.
However, he was, after all, the vice sect master of the Yan Sect and had no authority to interfere in the recruitment of disciples in the Hollow Jade Sect.
Compared to Cao Ba of the Flame Sect, Hong Tao from the Cloud Sky Sect was still expressionless when he arrived at the square. No one knew what he was thinking, but when Jing Rou with a high level Water Spirit Root appeared, she only gave him a glance.
It was hard to find someone who could understand the voice. After arriving, Duo Ling always used his divine sense to scan the entire plaza as if he was looking for someone. Thus, he didn't pay much attention to these disciples with spiritual roots.
As for Yu Zijun and Nong Jianrou of the Mysterious Spirit Sect, they always appeared to be merciful and merciful. No one knew what they were thinking and they didn't pay much attention to the few disciples with high grade spiritual roots who had just taken the test.
Few people paid attention to the reactions of the elders of the Four Great Immortal Sect. When the seven children with high level spiritual roots appeared, many people paid extra attention.
Disciples with high-level spiritual roots would easily be able to cross that threshold, not to mention advancing to the tribulation stage. If placed in any sect, they would be heavily nurtured.
A small or medium-sized sect received a disciple with high level spiritual roots and would not die prematurely. After hundreds of years, the sect would not weaken even after a thousand years. Thus, some Sect Leaders and Elders were envious and some were jealous.
These seven children with high spirit roots were a potential threat to the people of the Demon Race and the Demon God's Sect. If they ever met, they would definitely be killed, so they blended into the crowd and memorized the appearances of each child.
Although there was no difference between a sect cultivator and a rogue cultivator, there were times when there were conflicts. In order to not cause trouble, the rogue cultivators also memorized the appearances of the seven children.
High level spirit root disciples had already appeared, so it was about time for the top quality spirit root disciples to appear for testing. But in any sect, spirit root disciples were a type of foundation. Unless it was critical, the sect would not let them out.
Although there wouldn't be any top quality spirit root disciples coming out for the exam, the exam wasn't over yet. After all, the Hollow Jade Sect was located in the center of the Divine Continent, so it would definitely accept some multi-attribute spirit root disciples.
As expected, after the high-level spiritual roots disciple test ended, another child was brought to the plaza and continued with the test.
"Shang Zizong, 11 years old, low rank fire spirit root, medium rank earth spirit root, dual attribute life force root!"
"Xiangyang, ten years old. Intermediate Earth Spirit Root, Intermediate Gold Spirit Root, Dual-type Life Root!"
"An Ren, thirteen years old. Intermediate Water Spirit Root, Intermediate Wood Spirit Root, Dual-Yuan Life Root!"
"Phoenix Fairy, seven years old. High level wood spirit root, middle level fire spirit root, middle level earth spirit root, three types of life force spirit root!"
"Xu Shao, nine years old. High level wood spirit root, medium level fire spirit root, high level earth spirit root, low level metal spirit root, four types of life force spirit root!"
Compared to people with a single type of spiritual root, people with multiple types of spiritual roots tend to cultivate at a very slow rate, mainly in absorbing spiritual energy. A single type of spiritual root only absorbs spiritual energy of the same attribute, while a multiple type of spiritual root absorbs spiritual energy of the same attribute at the same time.
There were no special cultivation methods. If a person wanted to cultivate with multiple spiritual roots, they would have two different cultivation methods.
One method was to absorb one type of spiritual energy while suppressing the other. The other method was to absorb one type of spiritual energy before absorbing the corresponding spiritual energy.
For cultivators from small sects and small sects, they could only choose one of the ways to cultivate since they didn't have this kind of cultivation technique specifically for cultivators with multiple spiritual roots.
The Hollow Jade Sect was different. It had been established for eight thousand years, and it had existed for a long time.
It was their good fortune to be able to enter the Hollow Jade Sect with the five children who had gone through the tests one after another. Of course, it was also the good fortune of the Hollow Jade Sect.
Although cultivators with multiple types of spiritual roots had slower cultivation, once they had mastered it, they would fight people, fight the heavens, fight beasts, and would have many more attacking methods. Sometimes, they would be caught off guard and have a higher chance of winning.
Cultivators with multi-elemental spiritual roots would not only have the advantage in battles, but other aspects as well. For example, cultivators with wood and fire spiritual roots had a great advantage in alchemy and planting medicinal herbs. Elder Zhang was such a person.
If not for Elder Zhang's furious attack and the fact that he did not use any offensive skills, it was fortunate that Ding Xu had stopped him. Otherwise, Tian Ci's group would not have been able to leave so easily.
In short, by placing these five in the final exam, it showed that the Hollow Jade Sect also valued them.
The Hollow Jade Sect wasn't the only sect that could receive disciples with multiple types of spiritual roots. The other four sects also received one or two occasionally, Cao Ba was rarely envious, and the other three sects' representatives weren't envious either.
Disciples with multiple types of spiritual roots did not have any special cultivation technique. Their cultivation was very slow and was not as important as those with higher levels of spiritual roots. Thus, the Sect Leaders and Elders from the smaller sects were not envious or jealous.
Furthermore, all these threats threatened the Demon Race's interests, regardless of whether they were potential threats or direct injuries. The Demon Race was unwilling to see these five people become disciples of the Hollow Jade Sect.
Although they were opposites, they were still a little envious of the Hollow Jade Sect for accepting five disciples with multiple spiritual roots. If possible, they didn't mind digging their own grave.
As for those rogue cultivators, they were indifferent. They only seriously sized them up and memorized their appearances. When they met each other in the future, if it was not necessary, they would try their best to get along with each other.
