"Now we will conduct the third and final test. We will send everyone into a mine cave with an abandoned spirit stone vein.
This mine cave is underground on the edge of the mountain behind the former site of Yunhai Gate.
It was mined by the sect a hundred years ago. A mere hundred years is not enough for this place to generate new spirit stones. The formation of each mineral vein in the world of immortal cultivation takes tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.
So theoretically, it is impossible for this abandoned mine cave to generate new spirit stones, and it is also difficult for there to be any decent low-grade spirit stones that slip through the net.
But nothing is absolute. Maybe the previous mining was not thorough enough, and it is possible that some low-grade spirit stones remain." The middle-aged Taoist said in a loud voice.
"Your main task is to find as many low-grade spirit stones as possible in the mine. There is no limit to the method or means. You can search alone or in a team. Competition and conflict are allowed.
We don't care about the process, we only look at the results. There are a total of 58 of you. The top three who find the most low-grade spirit stones will be temporarily enrolled as inner disciples.
If no one finds low-grade spirit stones, the three inner disciples will be invalidated. If the number of people who find low-grade spirit stones is less than three, the inner disciples will be enrolled based on the number of people who actually find spirit stones.
If the top three happen to include Wang Yin, Murong Xue, Xu Ying, and Yuan Xiao, who have just been temporarily enrolled as inner disciples, they will not be counted again, and their qualifications as inner disciples will be postponed to the next person.
However, if the above four people are in the top three, they can get an additional reward of three low-grade spirit stones!"
"There is only one bottom line rule: no harm to anyone's life! Violators will be expelled from the sect!"
After hearing this, the candidates were shocked. This rule was quite cruel. To put it bluntly, it allowed bullying, robbery, fraud, and scheming, as long as it didn't harm other people's lives!
Danger!
Yuanxiao couldn't help but look at Wang Yin. He must be on guard against this guy! Wang Yin is ruthless and might do anything! But he found that Wang Yin was also looking at him, with a sinister smile on his face, and made a gesture of wiping his neck!
Yuanxiao believed that Wang Yin would not dare to touch the bottom line and would not hurt anyone's life. After all, he also wanted to join the sect and would not let himself lose the qualification. But with this guy's viciousness, he would definitely cause trouble for himself! Yuanxiao would inevitably be in danger at that time!
Yuan Xiao made up his mind to separate from the fat boy Xu Ying and not let them get into danger. Even after leaving the mine and completing the selection, he would keep his distance from them and try not to meet them in the future.
After all, one's own path must be walked by oneself, and no one can replace anyone on the road of cultivation! He had to bear his own danger and solve his own troubles. Yuan Xiao didn't want any of his friends to be in danger because of him.
The middle-aged Taoist took out two piles of spiritual stone samples and placed them on the table, then threw out a pile of cloth bags that were just the right size to hang around the waist.
Of the two piles of spiritual stones, one was white and gave off a faint luster. The other was nearly gray and looked dull. The contrast between the two types of spiritual stones was obvious.
"This pile of white spiritual stones are low-grade spiritual stones, which are what you need to find in this trip to the mine. The spiritual resources for cultivation that will be distributed monthly when you formally practice in the future are also this kind of spiritual stones.
This pile of gray spiritual stones are mixed spiritual stones, also known as poisonous spiritual stones. They contain impure spiritual energy, many impurities and toxins, which are harmful to cultivation. This kind of mixed spiritual stones can be seen in most places in the mine.
They are discarded spiritual stones during previous mining. Don't pick them up. We don't want this kind of mixed spiritual stones for the assessment, only low-grade spiritual stones. I emphasize again that this kind of mixed spiritual stones are harmful to the body and cannot be used for cultivation.
Otherwise, it will cause the body's meridians to degenerate, the spirit body to be damaged, and the bottleneck of cultivation will become larger and larger. It will be difficult to increase your cultivation in the future.
I have come to this point. If you don't listen, you will bear the consequences! Don't regret it in the future!"
