“Dad, do you think that girl will be selected?” Xiao Xiaofan shook his feet as he asked.
Xiao Jingting shrugged his shoulders and said,”Dad doesn’t know about that, either.” For a sect as lofty as the Green Cloud Immortal Sect, the threshold should be very high.
Xiao Xiaofan held his chin and said,”That girl said that in the Green Cloud Immortal Sect, there are old monsters that have lived for more than two thousand years.”
Xu Muan turned his head sideways. A Foundation Building cultivator had a life span of 200 years, a Golden Core cultivator, of 500 years, and a Nascent Soul cultivator, of 2000 years. But Desert City didn’t even have a Foundation Building cultivator.
In the past, making ends meet was a problem, so Xu Muan naturally didn’t even think about Foundation Building. But now, Xu Muan couldn’t help but yearn for becoming a Foundation Building cultivator. If they had a choice, who would want to live a mediocre life?
Xiao Jingting corrected Xiao Xiaofan’s mistake,”That’s not an old monster, it’s just an old senior, don’t let anyone hear you.”
A Nascent Soul cultivator with a move of his hand could cover the sky and make the rain. If he let people from Green Cloud Immortal Sect hear it, he would be doomed.
A thousand-year-old bastard, a ten-thousand-year-old turtle, an old monster who could live for two thousand years. It was indeed terrifying! That long lifespan sounded really exciting!
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Jingting and said,”Father, if that girl is selected by the Green Cloud Immortal Sect, will she turn into an old monster?”
Xiao Jingting,”……”
Xu Muan turned his head to look at Xiao Jingting and asked,”Should we continue to follow?”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”Yes.” It was said that no one could enter the Star City without being led by someone who was familiar with the city. If you wanted to go far, having a thick skin was also necessary.
Xu Muan nodded and said,”Good.”
The Ouyang family’s convoy traveled in a single row. The carriages were exquisite and more dazzling than others, each one looking magnificent.
“There seems to be a lot of children!” Xiao Xiaofan looked in the direction of the Ouyang family’s convoy.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”Yes!”
During the meal time, all these little children came out of the carriage. They were all the children from Ouyang’s house who came to take the test.
Looking at the serious looks of those kids, Xiao Jingting couldn’t help but think of the college entrance exams in his previous life. When the examination was conducted, the expressions of candidates seemed to be similar to these children from the Ouyang family. These children were really pitiful, facing exams at such a young age.
…
Ouyang Mingyue pulled Ouyang Jinyue into the gorgeous carriage and used a soundproofing technique.
“Jinyue, do you like that little fatty called Xiao Xiaofan very much?” Ouyang Mingyue asked.
Ouyang Jinyue nodded subconsciously and said,”Sister, he’s very interesting! Don’t you think so?”
Ouyang Mingyue said with a smile,”I don’t think so. Jinyue, your task now is to cultivate. Li Chengfeng, the son of the head of Li City, has already been selected. It is said that his qualifications are very good and the higher-ups attach importance to him, so the people from the Li City are very arrogant right now.”
“Although our Ouyang family has a Golden Core ancestor, we don’t have a close relationship with him. Moreover, this Golden Core ancestor has been in seclusion since his time is coming up. If something happens to the ancestor, then our Ouyang family’s status will be in jeopardy. Jinyue, you are the most qualified person in the Ouyang family since decades, so you must be selected to ensure the stable status of our Ouyang family.”
Ouyang Mingyue took a deep breath. The bloodline between the Ouyang family and that ancestor had already been separated by several generations. Now they were in contact with the descendants of that ancestor.
The people of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect were high up, and they didn’t think much of their poor relatives from the Barbarian Continent. However, some specialty products of the Barbarian Continent could be sold at a good price in the Green Cloud Immortal Sect’s realm, so both sides kept in touch with each other. But lately, the Sect seemed to want something more.
Ouyang Mingyue sighed lightly. Although the elders of the family were somewhat dissatisfied with the other party’s greed, they didn’t dare to offend the other side at all.
The Ouyang family had people in the Immortal Sect, but so did the other families. It was said that their ancestor had at most twenty years of his life left, and none of the descendants of this ancestor had exceptional cultivation. Once their ancestor died, the power of the ancestor’s lineage would inevitably decline. The top priority now was to cultivate someone who could stand firm in the Immortal Sect.
If Jinyue could be valued by the Immortal Sect, then even if their ancestor died, the Ouyang family would still have some backing.
Ouyang Jinyue looked at Ouyang Mingyue’s expectant eyes and could not help showing a bitter expression. “Sister, you have already said it so many times that my ears are going to sting. However, sister, I heard that the people up there look at qualifications differently in terms of evaluation criteria than people in our barbaric continent.”
A bit of embarrassment suddenly flashed across Ouyang Mingyue’s face. When she was young, she had also participated in the disciple selection and back then, many people in the family thought that she would be selected. But in fact, she wasn’t selected. Ouyang Mingyue still remembered that emissary’s words:“Three spirit roots, qualification middle to lower, not qualified.”
Most people in the Barbarian Continent cultivated spirit grasses for a living and favored wood attribute. But it was not the case with people from the Green Cloud Immortal Sect. They looked at the types of spirit roots. The fewer spirit roots you had, the better the qualifications. They also looked at the physique, so people with special physiques were also very popular.
In the Barbaric continent, it could be said that a person had water and wood attributes, but this person might not really have water and wood attributes. The only thing that could be tested in the Barbaric continent was the main spirit root, but basically everyone also had a secondary spirit root. The more secondary spirit roots one had, the more it would affect a person’s cultivation speed. It was obvious with faster and higher cultivation levels.
It was said that it was very difficult to reach Foundation Building with three spirit roots and hope of reaching Foundation Building with four spirit roots was even slimmer, and with five, there was basically no possibility. So emissaries who came usually only accepted single spirit root and double spirit roots disciples.
The single spirit root was rare and not that easy to encounter, but there was also a spirit root on top of the single spirit root which was called a celestial spirit root. Such a person could enter the Golden Core realm without any bottlenecks. Once they encountered a celestial spirit root, the Sect would definitely focus on cultivating it.
Ouyang Mingyue looked at Ouyang Jinyue and couldn’t help feeling worried.
