Chapter 9 Head Law Enforcer Qin Xian
Chapter 9 Head Law Enforcer Qin Xian
At this moment, Li Guanqi also realized that the number of spirit symbols burned had no real impact. Just like how Li Shengan, who had only a fingernail-sized yellow talisman paper left, also passed the first test.
This test was simply testing the character of all the disciples who had joined the sect. With two hours of time, even if they took a break in the middle to burn incense, as long as they didnt give up, they would definitely be able to complete it. So, this challenge was simply a test of everyones perseverance.
Along the way, many people were discussing what had just happened. For a wood-fire true spirit root disciple like Luo Hu, to have made it to the top and still be rejected!
It seemed that the Great Xia Sword Sect truly had their own set of qualifications. If it were another sect, they would definitely fight to recruit such a talented disciple, and they might even raise them to become an alchemist. Moreover, the gap between other mixed-element true spirit roots and wood-fire true spirit roots was not small at all.
This was a case of growing twice as fast with half the effort. Wood fuels fire, leading to a cultivation speed only second to single-element heaven tier spirit roots. But the way the Great Xia Sword Sect handled it made many common-born disciples feel a sense of fairness!
Yes, it was fairness!
As Zhou Zhi had said, the Great Xia Sword Sect was not a sect that judged purely based on talent or background. However, this approach indirectly pushed away many talented disciples.
Standing side by side with Jiang Su, Zhou Zhi whispered, We go through something like this every year, hehe.
Zhou Zhis returned his attention to the crowd, his face wearing a resolute expression as he spoke firmly, Thats why, even though our Great Xia Sword Sect may not have a large membership, we are incredibly unified within the sect.
Its all about taking the essence and discarding the unnecessary, he added.
Li Guanqi didnt notice that in the crowd, a young man with a regal demeanor had been continuously gazing at him. After a while, Li Guanqi suddenly turned to look behind him but couldnt discern anything unusual. Li Shengan, who was currently wearing a smile, happened to observe Li Guanqis furrowed brow.

Hmm? Whats the matter, Guanqi?
Li Guanqi relaxed his brow and smiled faintly, saying, Its nothing; I just have a feeling that someone is watching me.
Li Shengan, pulling at the hem of Li Guanqis robe, was immediately startled and exclaimed, Ah? Can you see them?
The young man grinned, pointing at his own eyes.
I cant see; Im genuinely blind, he confessed.
Li Shengan nodded with a hint of skepticism and then couldnt help but sigh.
I wonder if my triple-element mixed true spirit root can even pass the spirit root test.
Li Guanqi inquired, Is it really challenging?
This comment prompted Lin Dong, who was nearby, to interject, Do you really know nothing about this?
Li Guanqi shrugged his shoulders. He had occasionally heard his grandfather talk about it, but he had been too playful to pay much attention. Moreover, he didnt even know if he possessed a true spirit root, and Su Xuan had never mentioned it. Every time he asked, Su Xuan simply smiled faintly and remained tight-lipped.
However, Li Guanqi remained unaware of what he would witness during this spirit root test.
When everyone arrived at Tianzi Mountain, the elders from various peaks within the sect had been waiting once again. The sects flag displayed a prominent character Xia, flanked by two long swords on either side. On the square spanning thousands of feet in circumference, there were now eight spirit-testing platforms. Each platform had a transparent crystal sphere atop it.
As Li Guanqi opened his spiritual senses and looked towards the elevated platform, he was taken aback seeing all these venerable elders with an aura of immortality. He hadnt expected this initiation into the sect to be taken so seriously.
Li Shengan, perhaps sensing Li Guanqis curiosity, explained in a hushed voice, No need to make a big fuss about it.
Some sects even have their sect leaders present when they accep new disciples.
The talented cultivators discovered through this test will undoubtedly be fiercely sought after by the senior elders!
Some exceptional talents might even skip the outer disciple stage and directly enter the inner disciple ranks! Tsk tsk, if you can enter the inner circle directly, your resources will be countless times better than staying in the outer circle.
However, Li Guanqi noticed an elderly man who was resting with his eyes closed behind these elders. The mans face was lined with countless wrinkles, and his eyes were slightly sunken. He had a hooked nose, thin lips, and a goatee on his chin. Despite wearing an inconspicuous gray robe, the man exuded an extraordinary seriousness. Just a single glance at him made people feel as if they had committed some wrongdoing.
And this person was none other than Qin Xian, the Head Law Enforcer of the Great Xia Sword Sect, who was already in the late Nascent Soul stage!
Over a thousand people were divided into eight groups under the guidance of the sect disciples. However, at this moment, the ground of the entire square began to tremble slightly. Immediately afterward, a curtain of green light began to rise abruptly across the square. The elder on the elevated platform suddenly opened his eyes!
Boom!!!
As the old man slowly stood up, a tremendous pressure filled the empty space of heaven and earth!
All the disciples under this pressure couldnt move. Li Guanqi furrowed his brow in confusion, unsure of what was happening.
Chubby Li Shengan fared even worse. His face turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud!
Thud! Thud!
A series of muffled sounds echoed as the old man crossed the empty space, appearing overhead of the crowd, covering a hundred zhang in a single step. The old man lightly tapped the void with his finger and softly chanted, Spirit incantation, two hundred and thirty-two, Serpent Bind!
Two golden serpents formed from gathered spiritual energy instantly shot toward the people below! Panic ensued, and even many elders were startled!
However, at this moment, two figures within the crowd suddenly burst into flames, breaking through the oppressive pressure. Two strikingly similar-looking youths dashed away in different directions.
Qin Xians lips curled with a hint of mockery as the serpents body coiled slightly, transforming into two golden lights that instantly bound them!
The two figures crashed heavily onto the ground and were then pulled into the void by the old mans wave of his hand. The old man concealed his aura, his sharp gaze scanning the crowd below as he declared in a deep voice, I am Qin Xian, the Head Law Enforcer of the sect!
I intervened because these two disciples have been possessed by others!
Gasps filled the air!
This group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys and girls had never experienced anything like this before.
Body possession!
Is it really body possession?
Li Guanqi stared at the ground where the void had been. He had heard his grandfather talk about many things related to body possession, but he hadnt expected to witness it here.
In the cultivation world, the iron rule was that body possession could only be done by a cultivator with a higher realm taking over someone with a lower realm. Furthermore, regardless of the disparity in cultivation realms, one could only perform body possession once in their lifetime. A second attempt would result in their death!
Then the old man placed his hands on the heads of the two individuals and forcefully extracted two ethereal souls! However, the faces of these two souls were those of the elderly man! With a swift motion, Qin Xian forcefully shattered the two ethereal souls.
He then cast a sharp gaze over the crowd below and sternly admonished, If there are other body possessors among you, leave immediately!
The Great Xia Sword Sect absolutely forbids the existence of any body possessors!
If you dont leave now and I discover it later, I will ensure your souls are scattered and never enter the cycle of reincarnation!
Despite their fear and unease, no one in the crowd made a move to leave. Qin Xian nodded slightly.
Then, he turned to the group of sword sect disciples and instructed, Alright, lets begin the spirit root testing now!
