After a while...

Ye Xiaoyun's matter finally came to an end. On the high platform, the middle-aged man called out names again.

More than an hour had passed. There were more than a hundred disciples on and off the stage. Xiao Han kept waiting with his ears perked up, but he never heard the middle-aged man call out his name.

"Brother Chen, why are there so many people for this monthly spiritual root test?" Xiao Han was a little surprised and confused, because when he went up the mountain, he didn't seem to meet other practitioners along the way.

"Haha!"

Chen Wenxuan smiled and said: "Of course, Sanqingmen is the largest sect of cultivation in the Qin Dynasty, and it is also the only super sect. The cultivators in the Qin Dynasty and the border of the Qin Dynasty, who doesn't want to join Sanqingmen? Moreover, the entry threshold of Sanqingmen is much lower than that of other large and medium-sized sects of cultivation."

"But... Brother Chen, I remember that when I went up the mountain to enter the sect, it seemed that I was the only one! How come there are so many people?" Xiao Han frowned, was silent for a while, and still raised his doubts.

"Alas..."

Chen Wenxuan sighed for a long time, casually pulled the clothes that were stuck to his back because of sweat, looked at Xiao Han in front of him with some regret, and said: "Brother Xiao, you are not from the Qin Dynasty, so you naturally don't know that there are actually time constraints for joining the Sanqing Sect."

"Huh?" Xiao Han was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Wenxuan strangely.

Chen Wenxuan was very patient and continued to say: "In fact, the reason why Sanqing Sect conducts spiritual root tests is not only to know the talents of disciples and teach them according to their aptitude, but also to facilitate those sword masters and great sword masters to recruit personal disciples. After all, only the personal disciples of those sword masters and great sword masters, that is, the four-door regular disciples of Sanqing Sect, are the foundation of Sanqing Sect and the future of Sanqing Sect. We, the entry-level disciples, are just the blood bank of Sanqing Sect."

"When you went up the mountain, the reason why you didn't meet a cultivator who went up the mountain was that the time was wrong. Because most of the practitioners of the Great Qin Dynasty would not go up the mountain to learn at that time. Only those who think they are mediocre or out of touch with the news would take advantage of the opportunity. "

"The practitioners of the Great Qin Dynasty who are slightly informed know that the order of the spiritual root test of the Sanqing Sect is "latecomers are superior", that is, the later the people come, the earlier they will undergo the spiritual root test, and the earlier the disciples undergo the spiritual root test, the easier it will be for the sword masters present to accept them as their personal disciples."

"Why?" Xiao Han was puzzled.

"Because the Sanqing Sect has a rule that the minimum standard for a sword master to recruit a personal disciple is a high-grade yellow spiritual root level. It also stipulates that every sword master must recruit a personal disciple every month, otherwise he will be punished by the sect rules. The minimum standard for a great sword master to recruit a personal disciple is a low-grade black spiritual root level. Of course, the great sword master does not have a monthly task requirement."

"However, what is even more unfair is that the great sword master has priority in recruiting disciples above the black level."

"Everyone knows that the qualifications of the disciples who join the sect every month are uneven. Sometimes among dozens or even nearly a hundred disciples, there may not even be a high-grade yellow spiritual root level. It has happened before that some sword masters did not complete the monthly recruitment task because of this and were severely punished."

"So, in order to complete the monthly recruitment task, every time the spiritual root test was carried out, the sword masters would be hungry and eat anything as long as there were disciples with a high-grade yellow spiritual root level. Accept as a direct disciple. Of course, after they accept one, they have completed the recruitment task. Next, they will basically no longer recruit direct disciples with high-level yellow spiritual roots, but wait for the opportunity..."

"Therefore, this leads to the fact that the disciples with high-level yellow spiritual roots who are tested in the front can basically become the direct disciples of the sword masters, that is, the four-door disciples that all entry-level disciples dream of, and those who are tested in the back may have to fall to entry-level disciples. Of course, those with spiritual roots above Xuan level don’t have to worry about this. After all, they can become four-door disciples anyway. "

"But then again, how many people in this world can reach Xuan level or above? Moreover, who can guarantee that they are Xuan level or above?"

.....

"Next, Xiao Han!"

Chen Wenxuan talked incessantly, and Xiao Han was listening in a trance. At this time, the middle-aged man on the stage finally called out his name.

"Brother Xiao, it's your turn!" When Chen Wenxuan heard the middle-aged man call out Xiao Han's name, his reaction seemed to be even faster than Xiao Han's.

"Yeah." Xiao Han nodded, and jumped casually onto the platform without any fancy moves.

"Brother Xiao, you don't have to be nervous, just put your palm on that dark brown pillar and keep inputting your true energy!" Chen Wenxuan shouted at Xiao Han from a distance.

As a person who had experienced it, he was telling Xiao Han some experience in testing spirits. At the same time, Chen Wenxuan also raised his two chubby fists to cheer Xiao Han up, making it seem like Xiao Han was going to participate in some kind of competition, which instantly attracted several strange looks.

Xiao Han turned around and forced a smile at Chen Wenxuan stiffly. In fact, he was not nervous at all. After experiencing such a tragic change in the Xiao family, he no longer knew what nervousness was.

Standing on the high platform, Xiao Han found that there were many more people on the field than he had imagined. It was a huge black mass, and it seemed that there was no end at a glance. This caused a great shock in his heart. He did not expect that the cultivators who were rarely seen in the secular world were so numerous in a super sect like Sanqing Sect.

Like other disciples who came on the stage, Xiao Han also walked quickly to the spirit inspection platform and bowed respectfully to the sword masters and great sword masters sitting in the east direction.

However, when he looked up, he found that the ten sword masters in the back row, whose seats were originally empty, were now full of people. Some sword masters had two or three disciples standing behind them, and the great sword masters all had gloomy faces and stiffly wore a lukewarm smile. Behind their seats, there was still no one standing.

In fact, everyone knew what was going on without saying it, but this time it was a bargain for those sword masters.

Most of the disciples standing behind the sword masters were smiling, only three or five of them were not very happy, and the one with the ugliest expression was Ye Xiaoyun, who was standing behind the sword master in the middle. She kept a straight face, as if she wanted to cry but had no tears. However, the sword master in front of her was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face.

After paying respects to the sword masters and the great sword masters, Xiao Han turned around and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man named Duan Yan and the fat and thin middle-aged men who had been standing on both sides of the spirit inspection platform like sculptures. Then he raised his foot and walked to the dark brown pillar, took a deep breath, and put his palm on the surface of the dark brown pillar.

Xiao Han's palm flashed with white light, and suddenly, "sizzle", the whole dark brown column was lit up, emitting a dazzling white light. Then, the large white disc on the top of the dark brown column inexplicably rotated, and the whole disc was covered with a layer of lightning-like light...

At this time, the fat and thin middle-aged man who had been standing motionless beside the spirit-testing platform finally moved. The expressions of the two suddenly condensed, and they instinctively took two steps back. Their eyes were instantly wide open, staring at the spirit-testing platform that had suddenly changed, and they were ready to prevent any accidents. The middle-aged man standing in the middle of the spirit-testing platform, Duan Yan, also had a very solemn expression. Even the swordsmen and great swordsmen who had been sitting in the east direction stood up at this moment, and their eyes were all looking in the direction of the spirit-testing platform.

Under the high platform, the dark crowd, which was originally noisy, has now quieted down, staring at the spirit-testing platform on the high platform and the young man in front of the spirit-testing platform.

Chen Wenxuan in the crowd had his mouth slightly open, his expression petrified!

As the lightning on the white disc became brighter and brighter, suddenly, among the nine groups of spheres floating above the edge of the white disc, the group of red spheres finally lit up!

One... two...

At this time, almost everyone was holding their breath. They were looking forward to the spiritual root level of the boy who caused the spiritual platform to change.

Then, the third red sphere also lit up!

However, just when everyone was expecting the fourth sphere to light up, something strange happened. The third red sphere, which had already been bright, suddenly dimmed.

Everyone was immediately disappointed!

However, just when everyone was sighing and thought that the boy's spirit test was finally over, something strange happened again. The third red sphere, which had already dimmed, suddenly became brighter, and it was much brighter than the previous two, and even became a little dazzling...

Xiao Han continued to input true energy into the dark brown column. Everyone on and off the stage opened their mouths wide, stared with round eyes, and stared closely. Even Ge Qiuye, who had always been calm and indifferent, looked serious at this moment.

Not long!

The third red sphere, which continued to brighten, had already made it difficult for many people to open their eyes...

Suddenly, without any signs, this already extremely dazzling red sphere inexplicably began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

However, after only flickering for a moment, something even stranger happened...

Nine groups of spheres of different colors actually flickered at the same time, and the scene was extremely spectacular!

At this time, not to mention the large number of sect disciples below the stage, even the big guys on the stage were dumbfounded. Some of them had lived for hundreds of years, but it was the first time they had seen such a scene.

"Xiao Duan, this spirit test platform must be in disorder, quickly let that kid stop..."

Looking at the nine groups of spheres flashing more and more frequently, Ge Qiuye was the first to react and shouted to the middle-aged man in front of the spirit test platform.

"Oh!"

Duan Yan heard Ge Qiuye's shout and immediately came back to his senses from his daze.

However, just when Duan Yan wanted to speak and ordered Xiao Han to stop, it was too late!

At this time, the nine groups of spheres of different colors had stopped flashing, and each sphere became extremely dazzling; then, the sky above the entire white disc was as bright as a small sun; finally, with a loud "boom", the entire spirit-testing platform exploded...

The two fat and thin middle-aged men closest to the spirit-testing platform, although they had tried their best to use their true essence to protect their bodies, were instantly blown up by the powerful explosion shock wave, and they were directly blasted off the platform, spitting blood.

Duan Yan, who was standing in front of the spirit-testing platform, relied on the extremely powerful Jindan realm true essence to protect his body, but was also shocked and retreated repeatedly, his blood and qi were churning, and he looked quite embarrassed.

As for the sword masters and great sword masters in the east, although they were some distance away from the spirit-testing platform, they were also greatly affected, especially the dozen or so disciples behind the sword masters. If the sword masters had not used their true essence to protect them, they would have been seriously injured. As for the four great sword masters except Ge Qiuye, they disappeared from their original positions at the moment of the spirit-testing platform explosion, and appeared at the four directions of the platform at lightning speed, exerting the powerful true essence of the golden elixir perfection to protect the countless sect disciples below the platform.

After the explosion, the smoke dissipated!

The entire platform was in a mess, and the spirit-testing platform in the center of the platform had almost been razed to the ground at this time...
