After everyone left, the two of them looked down at their toes nervously, afraid that Yunzhi would investigate their intention to cheat.
After a long time, Yunzhi spoke slowly.
"I didn't expect that both of you passed the test and became disciples of my Dao Sect."
"You two ranked at the top in the three tests, especially in the third level, one first and the other second. In total, your results are the best."
"But this does not mean that you are the best performers in this batch. For example, the ancient barbarian Man Gu you have seen, Tao Yaoye, the immortal body behind you, and Li Haoran, the fire spirit root... are all geniuses who are not inferior to you."
Meng Jingzhou was confident and winked at Lu Yang: "The immortal body is much rarer than a single spirit root, but the evaluation given by the senior sister is 'behind us', which shows her respect for us."
Lu Yang explained helplessly: "The senior sister should mean that the immortal body was behind us when we lined up for the first level."
"Although you performed well, you can't be proud and complacent. When you officially practice immortal cultivation, you still need to be down-to-earth and guard against arrogance and impatience."
Hearing the increasingly serious tone of the senior sister, the two hurriedly promised to be diligent and not slack in their future practice.
Seeing that the two people's tone was not perfunctory, Yunzhi's expression eased a little: "Since you gave me a ride, I will give you an opportunity."
"Meng Jingzhou, you are a pure yang spiritual root, with blood and qi, and the nemesis of ghosts and demons. Among the eight elders, the third elder is deeply familiar with this way. You can worship him as your master."
Meng Jingzhou was overjoyed and thanked him quickly: "Thank you, senior sister."
"Lu Yang, you are a sword spiritual root, a natural seed of swordsmanship. The best swordsman in our sect is our master, that is, the sect master. You should worship him as your master."
"But senior sister, you just said that the sect master never likes to teach disciples..." Lu Yang said in a low voice.
He noticed that the senior sister and Meng Jingzhou said "you can worship him as your master", and he said "you should worship him as your master", which contained different meanings.
"It doesn't matter, I can decide for him to worship him as a master." Yunzhi's understated tone made Lu Yang stunned for a moment, as if he had to agree even if the sect master didn't agree.
"I just suggest that you have a one-month adaptation period like other disciples, and you can decide who to worship as your master after one month."
After Yunzhi said that, he flew to Tianmen Peak where the sect master was.
...
Tianmen Peak, meeting room.
A bright water mirror was cast in the air. Under the effect of magic, the contents of the mirror could be seen clearly in any direction, showing the whole process of the three tests.
The eight figures nodded or shook their heads, praised or scolded, and had different opinions on the disciples who passed the test. When the discussion was the most intense, they almost fought.
There have been precedents like this before. There are many temperamental people among the eight figures. They fought when they couldn't argue. It was obviously the process of commenting on the younger generation's selection of disciples, but it turned into temperamental and powerful fighting, which opened the eyes of the entire Wendao Sect.
In view of this, the real bodies of the eight figures are not here. Even if they are really angry, they will not fight.
"Man Gu is a good kid. He has pure ancient barbarian bloodline, unrivaled brute force and a simple mind. He is just right for me to inherit."
"It's a pity that he is too simple. The ancient barbarians died because of this. If there is a chance in the future, you can focus on training him."
"What inheritance is suitable for you? I haven't had a suitable successor in the art of refining for a long time. Man Gu is focused on his work, so it's right for him to come to my school!"
The two elders got angry as they talked, and then... rolled up their sleeves and continued to glare.
The other elders ignored the two fools and continued to comment: "The immortal body of Yuhua, invulnerable to all methods, unsullied and unparalleled, Yuhua ascended to heaven, it's been a long time since I saw it. Calculating the time, when the last immortal body of Yuhua appeared, we had just joined the Dao Sect."
"It's a pity that the last immortal body of Yuhua was too impatient to cultivate, and had not yet become famous in the Central Continent. He was eager to cultivate to the great perfection of the immortal body, and died of anger."
"Sixth Elder, you are the most familiar with the immortal body among us, maybe this girl is destined for you."
"Li Haoran, the fire spirit root, is a good seedling for alchemy and refining, but his personality is too irritable and he can't calm down. He was trying hard to climb up the third level, determined to surpass the barbarian bone in the front, and he used up his strength early. At the back, he was pulled down by others and became the last one to pass the level."
"As for this Meng family kid and Lu Yang, One is a pure Yang spiritual root, the other is a sword spiritual root. They are both excellent talents. Their ways of passing the level are also unique and amazing. Such excellent talents... Big Brother, why don't you take the trouble to accept them?"
"That's right. You only have Dai Bufan as your apprentice now. Dai Bufan has already graduated and does not need to be taught anymore. If you accept two geniuses at this time, they will become talents in the future. Isn't it a good story?"
"Get lost, they will avoid the important and focus on the trivial. With their ways of passing the level, don't expect to have a stable life after I accept them. I just want to retire peacefully and become a supreme elder. Don't make trouble for me!"
"Second elder, did you accept them?"
"Do you believe that I will accept you first?"
The eight elders were very humble. Facing the two single spiritual root geniuses, they did not show any intention of being tempted.
Damn, whoever accepts these two people will not have a peaceful life in the second half of his life.
"Hey, look, Yunzhi is giving these two people advice, one to become the sect master's disciple, and the other to become the third elder's disciple?!"
Everyone focused their attention on the third elder, who sighed resignedly. Yunzhi's suggestion was not wrong. He was the most suitable to cultivate pure Yang spiritual roots.
Among the eight figures, the third elder was the most conspicuous. He was not tall, but had a body of tendons and blood, as vigorous as a torch in the dark. He was obviously a physical cultivator.
It is said that when he was young, his blood was so vigorous that he could not control it. He often ran to the spiritual field to push the bull monster aside and plow the land himself.
"Speaking of which, has the sect master not been out of seclusion for nine years?"
"It seems so."
Everyone remembered that they still had the position of sect master, and it seemed that there was not much difference between having it and not having it.
"How can the sword spiritual root become a disciple?"
As everyone was talking, they saw a beautiful figure flying on a cloud, and the clouds and mist dissipated, revealing the figure of the eldest sister.
"Yunzhi greets all the senior uncles."
Everyone stood up and saluted. Now that the sect master is in seclusion, Yunzhi is acting as the sect master and managing the entire sect. Her status is above the eight elders.
"Yunzhi knows that all the senior uncles have their favorite disciples, but the cause and effect of becoming a disciple is very heavy after all, and it cannot be forced. Please do not interfere too much when they choose a master."
The elders naturally knew this and smiled: "This is natural, this is natural, but the sword spirit root is worshipped by the sect master. Is it the sect master's intention, or you...?"
Speaking of the sect master, Yunzhi frowned slightly, a little unhappy, and responded coldly: "Is there any difference?"
The eight elders were silent. There was indeed no difference.
You are kidding, how dare the sect master oppose the decision you made?
