Chapter 284: It seems like it’s “Five Spiritual Roots” again
Chapter 284: It seems like it’s “Five Spiritual Roots” again
At daybreak, the door of the servants' quarters was banged loudly as usual.
Everyone crawled out of their beds numbly, put on their clothes, folded their quilts, and staggered out with sleepy eyes.
After a while, there were only a few people tidying up the bedding on the entire bunk bed.
Jiuhua, who had given himself special treatment last night, was still asleep and was woken up by Xiao Li next to him.
"Jiuhua, hurry up and get up! If you're late, Manager Lu will spank your hands!"
"Yeah! I'm up." Jiuhua opened his eyes and became the diligent and smiling boy he used to be.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Li urged him a few more times and hurried out.
No matter how hard Jiuhua hurried, he was still the last one to arrive.
But Manager Lu, who was in charge of checking in and arranging the servants, just glanced at him a few more times and said lightly, "Next time, come earlier!"
Just let the matter go.
In the past, no matter who it was, if they were late, they would definitely be slapped on the palm of their hand.
Although there are no broken bones, it can still cause pain for more than a day.
Today's trick was unprecedented. Not only others, but even Jiuhua himself was a little surprised.
After the chief clerk finished assigning today's tasks, he called him aside and said, "Jiuhua, I heard from Chief clerk Shen that you were working for Immortal Lord Lingfeng yesterday?"
Jiuhua was a little frightened, thinking that his secret had been exposed, so he lowered his head and dared not say a word.
The chief clerk smiled and patted his shoulder, "Good boy, you are a very capable person. Go, go."
Jiuhua didn't come to his senses until the steward had left.
He was able to escape the disaster thanks to the help of Immortal Lord Ling Feng.
Immortal Lord Ling Feng is indeed the best person in the world!
Who says there aren't so many good people in the world?
Immortal Lord Ling Feng is a good person.
He must work hard to pass this trial and become the Immortal Lord's junior brother, even if he is from the outer sect!
A few days later, Xiao Li approached him mysteriously and shared some new news with him, "Jiuhua Jiuhua, did you know? Many of our senior brothers and sisters will also be accepting disciples during this recruitment trial!"
"If only the peak master, elders, and several senior managers accept disciples, even if I pass the exam, my hope of entering the inner sect is slim." He counted on his fingers.
"That's good now~" He smiled and showed several big white teeth.
Jiuhua's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then... our master's three direct disciples, aren't they..."
Seeing his excitement, Xiao Li poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Immortal Lord Guanghua will not accept any disciples this time; Immortal Lord Hanshuang is tentative, saying he will wait and see; Immortal Lord Lingfeng will accept one, as he is the next headmaster, and many people are eyeing him."
"If I could become his disciple, that would be truly remarkable~"
"Jiuhua... I'm afraid..." While sighing, he did not forget to cheer himself up, "Anyway, let's just do our best!"
Jiuhua nodded heavily, "Yes! I will definitely try my best."
...Time passed quickly. Jiuhua lined up in the meeting hall with all the disciples who had passed the trial tower, waiting to choose a teacher.
Looking at the long line in front of him, he felt confused.
Although he had thought of many possibilities, when he found out that he had five spiritual roots, he still felt disappointed. Even if it was only three spiritual roots...
Fortunately, he passed all the checkpoints one by one, so he was able to stand in this place where he was not allowed to enter before.
At least you can be an outer disciple, so you should cherish your blessings.
Jiuhua repeatedly enlightened himself.
Little Li, who was found to have dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, was smiling happily. He looked around and was extremely curious about everything in the meeting hall. He kept moving even when he was standing.
"Jiuhua, please help me think about it. Which is better, the Thousand Furnace Peak of Nanfeng Master or the Myriad Thoughts Peak of Taofeng Master?"
Jiuhua tugged at his sleeve and whispered to him, "Keep your voice down. Peak masters accept disciples based on personal liking. Don't talk nonsense."
Little Li said "Oh" in disappointment, but thinking that Jiuhua was a mixed root of the five spirits, he thought it was normal for him to be sad.
He turned around and started chatting animatedly with a few new disciples from outside, revealing all the gossip in his mind.
Seeing that he had dual spiritual roots, excellent aptitude, and was well-informed about the affairs of the Zichen Sword Sect, everyone naturally gathered around him, flattering him until he felt flattered.
Shen Changxun and other peak masters, elders, and chief clerks were all watching through the water mirror.
Originally, there were a few people who were interested in recruiting Xiao Li, who had good qualifications, but when they saw him being so lively, they were so excited after a few flattering words.
How can you achieve great things if you are so unstable?
He immediately stopped thinking about it and looked away.
Poor Xiao Li was in high spirits and knew nothing, so he missed several opportunities to become an inner disciple.
Mo Zheng led his three disciples in and said to them in front of the water mirror, "Go and look around for yourselves. If you find anyone you like, take him in and teach him well."
Hua Jiantang was like a curious baby, whispering to his senior sister, "So this is how you choose disciples? I was wondering why you chose disciples so easily..."
Seeing the elders looking at her sideways, Lin Mo Ran glared at him, "The relationship between a master and a disciple is destined by heaven. Stop talking nonsense and take a good look to see if my nephew is there."
Li Fuyi did not move, still standing behind Mo Zheng, with no intention of moving.
Mo Zheng said from the side, "Fuyi, don't you... go take a look?"
Li Fuyi casually glanced at the new disciples in the water mirror, showing little interest.
"Master, I don't want others to disturb us, so I don't want to accept any disciples for the time being."
These words made the others who were listening attentively smile knowingly, but Mo Zheng himself knew whether he felt the same or not.
Because there were so many people around, he smiled lightly to smooth things over, "Tianze Peak is a big place, it won't be a problem."
"What if we find someone we like?"
"It's good to go and take a look."
Li Fuyi then followed his words and turned her gaze towards the water mirror.
Most of the new disciples were attracted by Xiao Li's lofty talk, so the rest seemed different.
Just like the figure in the corner with his head down and wearing a servant's school uniform, he immediately caught Li Fuyi's attention.
It looks familiar...I seem to have seen it somewhere.
Hua Jiantang looked around but didn't pick anyone. He turned around and saw his senior brother staring at a skinny little servant with a frown on his face.
I couldn't help but be curious, "Brother, what's so special about this child?"
Li Fuyi shook her head. "Nothing special. I've met him a few times and exchanged a few words. He looks familiar."
Hua Jiantang said "oh" and left the water mirror, running to drink tea and chat with Lin Moran and Mo Zheng.
Li Fuyi saw Jiuhua kept his head down, as if he had done something wrong, which was very glaring.
Whenever she saw him, it would always bring back Li Fuyi's memories of her childhood, so she looked for information about Jiuhua.
When he saw the words "Five Spirits and Miscellaneous Roots", he was even more moved.
He glanced at Mo Zheng, who was surrounded by Hua Jiantang and Lin Moran, and chatting and laughing with several peak masters, and his eyes darkened.
The chief clerk thought that he had taken a fancy to Jiuhua, who only had five spiritual roots, and out of curiosity he went to look for her on the water mirror.
I really don't understand why Li Fuyi would take a fancy to such a little servant with poor qualifications and mediocre performance in several trials.
But he would only twist these words in his mind. The Zichen Sword Sect always accepted disciples based on the master's willingness.
For those who can pass the Trial Tower, the sect rules will no longer impose any additional restrictions, and there are no other rigid standards.
Maybe this little servant is just born lucky?
