Chapter 1662: Chapter 1651: Supreme Spirit Root!
The situation in Yunxian Sect’s plaza had changed repeatedly, almost overwhelmingly leaning toward Ye Chenfeng.
The scorching sun in the sky baked the earth.
Those who came to participate in the disciple selection on the plaza, some of whom had just fainted in fear, regained consciousness. But cold sweat kept pouring from them, and despite the scorch of the sun overhead, they couldn’t feel any warmth. Just now, they had been calling Ye Chenfeng names, afraid he might retaliate against them.
However, Ye Chenfeng had long returned the Qingyun Sword to his back. He couldn’t be bothered to engage with these people, being destined not to be on the same level as them. As long as they didn’t cross his bottom line, he could forgive these ignorant people.
The ancestor of Yunxian Sect, Zuo Deyuan, spoke: "The disciple selection of our Yunxian Sect is postponed for three days. Those who haven’t had the chance to test, please come to Yunxian Sect in three days for the test."
Zuo Deyuan couldn’t wait to catch up with Ye Chenfeng.
Those who came to participate in the selection heard Zuo Deyuan’s words. Seeing that Ye Chenfeng didn’t make things difficult for them, they felt pardoned. Before leaving Yunxian Sect, they deeply apologized to Ye Chenfeng one by one.
The sisters Qin Shuangshuang and Qin Ke’er never expected this outcome. Now that Yunxian Sect’s disciple selection was postponed, they carelessly planned to leave Yunxian Sect as well.
But Ye Chenfeng spoke up, "Qin Shuangshuang, you two wait a moment."
Then Ye Chenfeng said to Zuo Deyuan, "Brother Zuo, these two are my friends. They wish to join your Yunxian Sect. I wonder if Brother Zuo could grant them some convenience?"
Zuo Deyuan waved his hand, smiled, and said, "Little Brother, aren’t you embarrassing me! There’s no need for us to be so polite. How about this, your two friends will be core disciples of our Yunxian Sect from today onwards. What do you think?"
Qin Shuangshuang and Qin Ke’er, who were still in a state of shock and wanted to leave Yunxian Sect, were speechless. Due to a single word from Ye Chenfeng, they became core disciples of Yunxian Sect? Their mouths slightly opened, feeling as if in a dream.
It should be known that the status of a core disciple is higher than that of an outer sect elder. Moreover, Yunxian Sect is a Third-Rank Sect. Becoming a core disciple there is infinitely more prestigious than being the Family Head of the Qins, which is just a small family in Bei Yun City.
Qin Ke’er was full of excitement, but after regaining her senses, Qin Shuangshuang stubbornly said, "Ye Chenfeng, I don’t want to rely on your connections to join Yunxian Sect. I want to join Yunxian Sect honorably."
Qin Shuangshuang gathered her courage, bit her lip, and felt an increasing distance between her and Ye Chenfeng. A sense of unwillingness welled up in her heart.
Seeing her sister’s determination, Qin Ke’er also put away her excitement and said, "Yes, I want to join Yunxian Sect honorably too."
Zuo Deyuan found Qin Shuangshuang and Qin Ke’er interesting and laughed: "Alright, in that case, now that everyone else you’ve come with today have left, it’s just you two left. So you can test your spiritual roots now!"
"Just place your hand on the Spirit Testing Stele and quickly circulate the Spiritual Qi River within your meridians."
Qin Shuangshuang and Qin Ke’er politely bowed to Zuo Deyuan. Then, the two sisters approached a Spirit Testing Stele.
The Spirit Testing Stele had ten levels. The bottom three levels were for Lower Grade spiritual roots, the middle three were for Mid-grade Spiritual Roots, the top three for High Grade roots, and the very top level was for Supreme Spirit Root, which had not emerged in Earth Profound Realm for thousands of years.
To join Yunxian Sect, at least a Mid-grade Spiritual Root was necessary.
Ye Chenfeng watched the stubborn Qin Shuangshuang, shaking his head helplessly; perhaps this was the only thing Qin Shuangshuang could hold onto in front of Ye Chenfeng.
Qin Shuangshuang placed her palm on the Spirit Testing Stele and quickly activated her meridians’ Spiritual Qi River.
As the Spiritual Qi River rapidly circulated.
The lowest layer of the Spirit Testing Stele was filled with red, followed by the second and third layers.
Then the red smoothly ascended to the first of the middle three layers and finally stopped at the second layer of the middle three.
A Mid-grade Spiritual Root, and not a lower one. Qin Shuangshuang had a middle-range Mid-grade Spiritual Root, already considered quite good. Even Zuo Deyuan nodded in approval, saying, "Not bad, little girl. From now on, you are a disciple of our Yunxian Sect, joining us by your own merit."
After Qin Shuangshuang finished testing her spiritual root, Qin Ke’er immediately tested hers. Her spiritual root was slightly inferior to Qin Shuangshuang’s, with the red stopping at the first of the middle three layers. Nonetheless, Qin Ke’er had the qualifications to join Yunxian Sect. Confidently, she glanced at Ye Chenfeng, as if to say, "Even without your connections, we can join Yunxian Sect."
Zuo Deyuan smiled, "You two girls will be disciples of our Yunxian Sect from now on. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange a master for you both."
The inner sect elders who accompanied Zuo Deyuan to Sunset Island last time were all eager, since Qin Shuangshuang and Qin Ke’er were friends of their ancestor Ye Chenfeng, they naturally wanted to have Qin Shuangshuang and Qin Ke’er as their disciples.
But seeing that Zuo Deyuan hadn’t given the word, they didn’t dare to speak now.
The ancestor of Yunxian Sect, Zuo Deyuan, looked at Ye Chenfeng and said, "Little Brother Ye, are you interested in testing your spiritual root? I’m quite curious about it. My spiritual root is a lower High Grade root. I estimate you might have a middle High Grade root."
Zuo Deyuan wouldn’t dare imagine a Supreme Spirit Root, given that one hadn’t appeared in Earth Profound Realm for thousands of years.
Zuo Feibai was also very interested and said, "Ancestor, please test it too! I’m also curious; my root is a high Mid-grade root."
Qin Shuangshuang and Qin Ke’er also looked at Ye Chenfeng expectantly.
This made Ye Chenfeng curious about what level his spiritual root was too. Casually, he walked to the Spirit Testing Stele, placed his hand on it, quickly activated his Spiritual Qi River, and said, "Alright, I’ll test my spiritual root."
As Ye Chenfeng began to test his spiritual root, everyone’s gaze focused on the Spirit Testing Stele.
Qin Ke’er asked, "Sister Shuangshuang, what level do you think your friend’s spiritual root will reach?"
Qin Shuangshuang replied, "Didn’t the ancestor of Yunxian Sect make an estimate earlier? It’s probably around a middle High Grade root! Such a root can only be matched by geniuses in a First-Rank Sect."
While Qin Shuangshuang and Qin Ke’er were speaking,
The bottom three layers of the Spirit Testing Stele were instantly filled with red, and the middle three layers were also filled without suspense. The red smoothly entered the top three layers; the first and second of the top ones were filled, seeing which, Zuo Deyuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Little Brother, I certainly didn’t guess wrong; you possess a middle High Grade root, you..."
Zuo Deyuan’s voice suddenly stopped abruptly.
Because the red had entered the third layer of the top three.
A High Grade root!
Zuo Deyuan, Zuo Feibai, Qin Shuangshuang, Qin Ke’er, and the inner sect elders present all widened their eyes in shock. A High Grade root hasn’t appeared for hundreds of years, has it?
As Zuo Deyuan and others slightly came to their senses, their eyes widened again, their facial muscles twitching uncontrollably, as the red entered the very top first layer of the Spirit Testing Stele.
Supreme Spirit Root!
The Supreme Spirit Root had not appeared in Earth Profound Realm for thousands of years, yet it was born just like that?
Ye Chenfeng felt the Spirit Testing Stele had limitations. Otherwise, he guessed his root should be beyond a Supreme Spirit Root.
And the old black Jiang Yuntian also spoke, "Kid, your guess is correct. Supreme Spirit Root is not the highest root in this world. In other words, a Supreme Spirit Root is nothing. The Spirit Testing Stele here is too outdated."
Ye Chenfeng nonchalantly withdrew his palm. If the extremely shocked Zuo Deyuan and others knew Ye Chenfeng’s thoughts or heard Jiang Yuntian’s words, they’d probably faint from anger.
A Supreme Spirit Root is nothing?
In the whole Earth Profound Realm, a Supreme Spirit Root hasn’t appeared for thousands of years!
