The Legend of Fangren

The first to step forward for testing were the scions of various powerful families, all of whom were the guardian families of different cities under the sect.

In the Five Elements Mystic Realm, the human race has no great nations, but is divided into five realms based on location. Each sect is the leader, and its subordinate cities guard the four directions to protect the eight wildernesses and keep the human people free from the disturbances of mystical beasts and demons.

In other words, the human race in this world doesn't have as many civil wars because they share a common enemy: natural predators that are far more ferocious than those in other ordinary worlds.

Fang Shi silently reviewed the knowledge about this world, which would be beneficial for his future development.

Soon, the immortal stone began to glow, and the first piece with good aptitude appeared.

"Young Master of Qingye City, He Qisheng, the True Form of Extreme Fire!"

This isn't just good, it's absolutely top-notch.

The young servant standing next to He Qisheng shouted loudly, even louder than the supervising elder.

This was a special instruction given by the old city lord before he left: when our young city lord's talent is revealed, we must shout it out so that everyone on the Ascending Heaven Platform can hear it, so as not to damage the reputation of the old He family.

Then there's the handsome young man standing tall in front of the immortal stone, dressed in a blue and red gentleman's outfit. He is none other than the young city lord, He Qisheng. However, at this moment, he has one hand on the immortal stone and the other hand pressed against his forehead, his expression quite speechless.

"This guy... I was wondering why he'd been unusually quiet these past few days; turns out he was taking care of his voice."

"Hey, young city lord, you are the future hope of our Qingye City, so we must let everyone know your illustrious name."

"Are you listening to me or my father?"

"Oh, my young city lord, of course I will listen to you. The old city lord specifically instructed me to follow you closely after I go up the mountain."

"Then I'll just listen to my dad, won't I?"

He Qi was furious. He turned his hand away, ignored the guy, and walked alone across the immortal stone to the elder.

"Young Lord, wait for me!" the young servant called from behind. It was obvious that the two were childhood playmates who had naturally become master and servant as they grew up.

He simply placed his hand on the magic stone and ran over without even looking at it.

Liu Yiyuan glanced sideways and gasped.

"Helin, the true form of Yang Fire."

The so-called Yang fire is thunder fire, which is the ultimate Yang power, comparable to the original form of extreme fire.

This immediately sparked another round of discussion in the room.

"This He Lin also has the surname He, and is also the young city lord's attendant. Could he be from a maternal family?"

"Oh my god, this is incredible! The main family and the outer family of the Qingye City family have both produced geniuses in this generation. Their position as the guardian of the city will surely become more and more secure. The future of Qingye City is bright!"

(This is what the extras hired by the old city lord said.)

Fang Shi, on the other end, asked Zhang Kongming with some curiosity, "Immortal Master, what do the True Form of Extreme Fire and the True Form of Yang Fire mean?"

"Those who attain the true nature of fire also have yin and yang aspects. Extreme fire is when the true nature of fire is extremely strong, while yang fire is when the true nature of fire is biased towards yang."

"Then my Yin element belongs to Wood..."

"That's not the same thing as the original form of Yin Wood." Zhang Kongming knew exactly what he was thinking, so he could only shake his head regretfully.

Seeing that it was almost Luohe's turn, he remained silent for a while and said to the two of them, "I have fulfilled my responsibility as your initiation master by bringing you to this point. From now on, whether you enter the sect or not, you will have to rely on your own hard work and diligent study."

"Master." Luohe saw that Zhang Kongming was about to leave and quickly tried to stop him, but he stopped her by raising his hand.

"Luohe, once you join the sect, there will be various arrangements. I am not a preaching elder in the sect, nor do I accept disciples. Just focus on your cultivation and don't worry about it."

After saying this, Zhang Kongming wanted to offer a few words of comfort to Fang Shi, but Fang Shi simply nodded and said, "Immortal Master, please take care."

Zhang Kongming: "..."

I think I'm starting to regret bringing you along.

Very well, I'm off.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Kongming transformed into clouds and drifted away, disappearing without a trace.

"Fangzi, I'm so nervous."

With Master gone, only Fang Shi remained in Luohe.

"Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you even if I don't test your aptitude."

"Mmm." Luo He quietly took her hand.

Stop, what do you mean by that?

Fang Shi quickly pulled his hand away, then put his arm around Luo He's shoulder like a good buddy and said earnestly, "He Zi, I know our village is poor and there aren't many beautiful women, but now they're all coming out to the outside world. You should broaden your horizons and see the world."

"?" Luohe didn't understand what he meant.

What do you mean? What else could I mean? It means, can you stop looking at me like I'm all lovey-dovey? I've already confirmed that my preferences are fine, so I definitely can't let you lead me astray.

On the contrary, I will lead you onto the right path.

"Hezi, that's what you should be watching."

After saying that, Luohe, guided by Fang Shi, saw something faintly visible above her head.

Yes, and there's also an ice-cold beauty face above them, staring back at them.

It’s over.

Pretending not to have seen anything, the two stiffly turned their heads back and began to discuss enthusiastically which geniuses with exceptional talents had just appeared.

Ah, look at this genius, what a genius!

They broke out in a cold sweat for more than ten minutes before they were certain that the beautiful elder had no intention of settling scores with them.

"It's your turn, Hezi, hurry up."

Fang Shi followed behind Luo He.

By the time they got to their place, the children from the previous families had already been tested, and the rest were children from ordinary families.

Liu Yiyuan still remembered Luohe, so he waved for him to come up first. However, when he saw Fang Shi following behind, he couldn't help but sigh impatiently.

Luo He noticed this as well. He, who had been somewhat timid, suddenly straightened his back and shielded Fang Shi behind him with neither arrogance nor servility.

"Wow, I feel so safe."

Fang Shi almost lost control and quickly slapped himself to wake up.

But aside from making Liu Yiyuan think more highly of Luo He, this won't change anything.

The two walked to the Immortal Stone. Luo He placed his hand on it and immediately felt an extremely slight suction force that vanished in an instant. Then, the Immortal Stone revealed its true form of extreme gold.

Unsurprisingly.

Liu Yiyuan said, "Luohe River, the true form of ultimate gold!"

Just like when the young city lord was, the scene fell silent once again.

Unlike before, this time the silence was because Luohe was clearly not from any particular family, but from an ordinary family, or even poorer.

This gave ordinary families who followed a sense of hope, while the large and small families who had not yet left had even more ideas.

This genius is destined for greatness; coincidentally, he has no background whatsoever.

Isn't this a treasure lying on the ground for nothing? It would be wonderful if we could recruit this person for our own use. And for some small families, wouldn't it be even better if we could form a marriage alliance with him and have him marry into the family?

This is the allure of geniuses!

Fang Shi, who was protected by the prodigy, naturally attracted everyone's attention.

To come here with such a prodigy, could they be brothers? If they are brothers, then their talents must be extraordinary...

"Well……"

Fang Shi, who had originally planned to leave, noticed the gazes coming from all directions and couldn't move his feet.

Well... the atmosphere is already so good, how about I have one too?

The crowd's expressions: What else could it be?

Alright, I'll make a fool of myself.

Fang Shi stood firmly on his feet, head held high, chest out, exuding an imposing and dignified air. He was truly unlike an ordinary person, and even Liu Yiyuan couldn't help but blink.

Could it be that I have misjudged him?

But as soon as the boy raised his hand, the suction force in the immortal stone vanished in an instant.

What will the result be? Everyone waited anxiously.

However, the immortal stone remained unmoved, and Fang Shi felt a suction force coming from his palm again.

Then, the immortal stone remained still, and another suction force came from it.

This time, the immortal stone remained silent for quite a while.

And what was the result? They did give you one, though.

*Beep beep* The Immortal Stone has shut down due to a prolonged lack of Xuan Qi injection.

"..."

The entire place was deathly silent, much quieter than before.
