Chapter 989 - 983: The Sect's Dignity Brooks No Defilement
Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, the myriad figures sitting cross-legged all opened their eyes.
When they found themselves sitting amidst a luminous array, with a splendid galaxy above their heads, it felt like being in the Immortal Cultivation World. Their eyes were filled with astonished expressions.
However, when they saw that only ten among the thousand had pillars of light rising from them, everyone's expressions turned intriguing.
"These people have pillars of light, meaning only they possess Spirit Roots!"
"I can't believe I don't have Spirit Roots!"
"No way, this delivery guy has Spirit Roots, it's unfair!"
"My father is the deputy mayor, and I don't have Spirit Roots!"
"..."
In the crowd, several disgruntled voices arose. Just a quarter of an hour ago, they were fantasizing about becoming those flying and earth-escaping cultivators, only to find they had no spirit roots under this examination.
However, most people looked disappointed and gazed enviously at the ten with spirit roots.
"This examination is unfair! I demand to be tested again. My dad is the deputy mayor of Yunshui City, Wu Long. I want another chance."
From the crowd, a cocky, somewhat slick-looking young man stood up first, shouting.
"I also demand another test. My dad is one of Jiangbei Province's top ten entrepreneurs. I'll ask my dad to donate ten million, no, twenty million to you."
Beside the slick young man, a chubby guy also stood up, saying.
"Exactly, this test is unfair; why does this delivery guy have spirit roots? My dad is from the Longquan Gang, and you must test me again."
"I want to cultivate immortality. If you don't let me, I'll stay here, and I'll call my relatives…"
"..."
With two leading the way, some youths with a sense of identity stood up too, thinking Qin Yang would surely compromise seeing so many people.
"I demand a re-test!"
Seeing thirty or forty people shouting, the leader slick young man's face showed a trace of pride, and he loudly spoke again.
Seeing these proud people causing a commotion, the others without spirit root detection also started to form ideas.
Around the array, the original white-robed disciples from the three sects, including some powerful ones in the Law Enforcement Hall, showed mocking expressions, unable to help mourning these clueless individuals.
The Sect Leader even silenced the United States President when he smashed the White House's diplomacy reception hall.
"Law Enforcement Hall disciples, break the legs of these agitators just now and drag them out of the manor all the way to Yunshui City. Also, inform their fathers to kneel outside Feipu Manor for a day and night."
Qin Yang glanced at those causing a commotion, speaking calmly.
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, the slick young man's expression changed instantly, and his voice turned sharp. He actually said for his dad to kneel outside Feipu Manor for a day and night.
The other agitators' expressions also changed drastically.
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
The white-robed disciples outside the array respectfully responded and then shifted their gaze to the masses.
Swish, swish, swish!
White-robed disciples flashed, rushing into the crowd.
"Ah…!"
Amidst a scream, the slick young man was the first to have his legs broken.
"Ah!"
"How dare you… Ah!"
"..."
Following that, a series of screams rose; those prideful youths from earlier were all mercilessly broken down by the white-robed disciples, dragged with two or three in each hand, and taken outside the manor.
Seeing this scene, silence fell among the crowd; it was so quiet one could hear a pin drop, and their faces were uniformly filled with awe.
"Anyone else want to object?"
As Qin Yang swept his gaze, faces carried deep awe. Yet, deep down, there was more admiration.
"The ten with spirit roots may join the Pill Talisman Sect. Additionally, disciples within the sect must remember, the most crucial rule when joining the Pill Talisman Sect is— at any time, the sect's prestige cannot be desecrated!"
Qin Yang's words carried a hint of sharpness, echoing in everyone's ears.
Qin Yang's words were not only for the ten new disciples but also for everyone present.
"Yes, Sect Leader."
Everyone present, including Zilan, Nangong Feiyang, and others, chorused, and the ten new sect disciples felt a surge of emotion.
"Those who weren't found to have spirit roots, descend the mountain."
Qin Yang spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Over nine thousand remaining youths heard the words and showed dim expressions, yet dared not say more, responding in unison.
After the first round of testing for thousands of youths, soon after, another group of thousands was tested. Following Qin Yang's instructions, Zilan controlled the Spirit Awakening Array to test spirit roots for the next thousand youths.
Qin Yang's figure flickered as he returned to the Osmanthus Forest to continue crafting spirit medicine, arrays, talismans, elixirs, and studying various common demon beasts' information.
Sword Controlling Immortals, flying and earth-escaping, inspired countless Huaxia youths, and Feipu Manor became what everyone saw as an Immortal Mountain in Huaxia.
Every day, youths from all regions flew to Yunshui City and then trekked to Feipu Manor to undergo spirit root testing.
Those incredibly lucky ones with spirit roots joined Feipu Manor and became revered cultivators, seen as immortals by the world.
Members within the Pill Talisman Sect gradually increased day by day, with dozens joining Feipu Manor daily.
A month later, within Feipu Manor, the cultivators with spirit roots numbered a thousand.
Among these thousand, there were some highly gifted ones, including about ten disciples with dual spirit roots, and two with single spirit roots emerged.
When these two with single spirit roots appeared, naturally, Zilan and others notified Qin Yang, who personally witnessed their spiritual power pillars.
Among these two disciples, one was Mu Shuiyuan, someone Qin Yang had met and had some friction with.
This Mu Shuiyuan goes back quite early; when Qin Yang first arrived on Earth, he interacted with her, disguised as Water Wolf. Qin Yang had once punched her fiercely in the chest, her real identity being the daughter of the Hundred Beasts Valley's Valley Master.
Seeing Mu Shuiyuan also wanting to join the Pill Talisman Sect, Qin Yang's face bore a strange look but said nothing, accepting her into the sect.
This woman's joining of the Pill Talisman Sect also had another purpose, for her father.
At Mu Shuiyuan's request, Qin Yang helped her father, Mu Luan, the Hundred Beasts Valley's Valley Master, relieving symptoms of cultivation deviation.
After the treatment, Mu Luan happily transferred the Valley Master's position to Mu Shuiyuan, and thereafter, the Hundred Beasts Valley merged into the Pill Talisman Sect, becoming a branch known as the Beast Taming Hall.
The other single spirit root disciple possessed a rarer spirit root—Blood Spirit Root, akin to Bi Luoyue's Moon Spirit Root, both rare spirit roots.
The owner of the Blood Spirit Root was more suited for Blood Dao cultivation, becoming a powerful Blood Cultivator.
Qin Yang personally met the Blood Spirit Root owner, this youth named Leng Feng, just a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old teenager. Losing both parents young, he lived without any relations in a dilapidated orphanage.
Upon Qin Yang's first encounter, he found Leng Feng's physique lean, with eyes clear and resilient—a good prospect. Naturally, Qin Yang accepted him into the Pill Talisman Sect, personally guiding him for a while.
