I proved immortality with thunder magic.

A unique lightning-attribute spiritual root!

When the old man in blue cried out those words, the others didn't react much, but Lu Baiyun and the two disciples from Spirit Beast Mountain he brought stared wide-eyed in shock at Zhou Tai with disbelief in their eyes.

Then the old man in blue was the first to react, looking at the middle-aged man with a complicated expression and sighing repeatedly, "What a pity, what a pity, what a waste of a person with a unique spiritual root!"

"Even if you were only seven or eight years old, or even seventeen or eighteen, with your lightning spiritual root aptitude, your chances of achieving Foundation Establishment and Dao Cultivation in the future would be quite high. You could be considered to have a limitless future!"

"But you look to be in your thirties or forties now. At this age, you're only just beginning your cultivation journey. Even with your lightning spirit root aptitude, I'm afraid you have little chance of successfully establishing your foundation!"

Zhou Tai didn't know much about the cultivation world, but having lived two lives, his ability to read people was already superb.

Upon hearing the old man in blue's words, and considering his previous reaction, he realized that his spiritual root aptitude was probably quite extraordinary.

The reason he offered up that century-old ginseng today was mainly to test his spiritual root aptitude.

He had previously spent a lot of money to have Lu Baiyun examine his bones, and the other party could roughly confirm that he possessed spiritual roots, but could not determine what kind of spiritual roots he had.

Therefore, he must find an opportunity to test his spiritual abilities at the Spirit Beast Mountain ceremony held today, and then seek out a suitable cultivation technique to practice.

However, he did not expect that his spiritual root aptitude would be so outstanding.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Immortal Master, what is my spiritual root aptitude like?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in blue robes looked at him with a complex expression and replied, "If we're talking about spiritual root aptitude, your lightning-attribute unique spiritual root aptitude is naturally excellent, second only to the legendary single-attribute heavenly spiritual root!"

"However, for us cultivators, while spiritual root aptitude is extremely important, the age at which we begin our cultivation is equally crucial. If we begin our cultivation too late, it will be very difficult to achieve anything in the remaining time of our lives!"

Zhou Tai was not disappointed at all upon hearing this answer; he had long known that his age was a disadvantage.

However, he believes more in the saying, "Heaven never seals off all paths; where there's a will, there's a way."

Even if he only had a useless spiritual root with the five elements attribute, he would not give up the opportunity to cultivate immortality, let alone now that he has an excellent lightning spiritual root.

After pondering for a moment, he mustered his courage and asked, "Since you, Immortal Master, say that my spiritual root aptitude is exceptionally good, could you make an exception and allow me to join the Immortal Sect for cultivation?"

If he only had ordinary spiritual root aptitude, even with the favor of offering treasure, he certainly wouldn't have dared to ask that question.

But now that he possesses the talent of a lightning spiritual root, he naturally wants more.

If one could join a prestigious immortal sect like Spirit Beast Mountain to cultivate, it would undoubtedly be many times better than cultivating on one's own with a cultivation manual.

Upon hearing this, the old man in blue robes hesitated and looked conflicted.

He didn't immediately answer Zhou Tai's question, but instead turned to the two younger disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain and asked, "What do you two think about this matter?"

Upon hearing this, the two men also showed hesitation and doubt.

Zhou Tai looked at the two of them with a pleading expression in his eyes.

Seeing this, one of them glanced at him for a moment, then whispered, "Junior brother believes that the talent of the Thunder Spirit Root is indeed rare. Although this boy is far too old and probably has no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime, if he diligently cultivates after entering the sect, becoming a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator in the future shouldn't be difficult. In any case, he's still stronger than those with four spiritual roots!"

After hesitating for a moment, the other person said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Luo is in charge of this trip, so I will listen to Senior Brother Luo."

After hearing their replies, the old man in blue thought about it again and then nodded and said, "Junior Brother Guo's words just now made a lot of sense. I thought about it carefully and it also makes sense. Then let's take the person back to the sect first, and leave the specific arrangements to the hall master."

Then he turned to Zhou Tai and said, "Are you satisfied with my decision?"

Zhou Tai nodded hurriedly, his face beaming with joy, and replied, "I am satisfied. I will leave everything to the Immortal Master."

Once he truly enters the Immortal Sect, even if he starts as the lowest-ranking servant disciple, he is confident that he can make something of himself.

After all, when he first started out in this life, he was a little beggar who almost starved to death.

Seeing that he was satisfied, the old man in blue breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, according to the previous agreement, he really couldn't provide Zhou Tai with a lightning-attribute cultivation technique.

After all, such cultivation techniques for unique spiritual roots are rare. Even if he had them in his private collection, he wouldn't carry them with him.

Now that Zhou Tai's problem was solved, he was in a great mood and immediately waved his hand and said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's choose three more menial disciples from the remaining people. The two junior brothers can make the decision."

Zhou Tai soon learned what the so-called selection process was.

It turns out that the selection of menial disciples is not based on spiritual root aptitude at all. In the eyes of the immortal sect, neither those with four or five spiritual roots have much of a chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

So two girls were chosen first, and the remaining one would be chosen based on which boy's parents offered the most benefits.

Why were girls selected directly?

After a moment's thought, Zhou Tai immediately understood the deeper meaning.

If they are all cultivators, the physical advantage of men is not much of an advantage, and girls who cultivate immortality techniques may all grow into beauties, or be transformed into beauties through drugs.

As you can tell from the title, a servant disciple is someone who does things and serves others. And who wouldn't like to be served by a woman?

"Is this considered a gender-based perk in the cultivation world? But is it really a good thing for those two girls?"

Zhou Tai glanced at the two happy girls and their family, and shook his head inwardly.

Those who are able to come here today to participate in the Spirit Testing Conference are all born into wealth and nobility. Even if they do not have spiritual roots and cannot cultivate, they will still be able to live a wealthy and noble life in the mortal world.

But if one goes to the world of cultivation, it's really hard to say what will happen to them in the future.

However, if Zhou Tai had to choose, he would definitely go to the cultivation world.

Therefore, he is now unable to comment on other people's choices.

The three spots for miscellaneous disciples were quickly decided. Including Zhou Tai and Hu Qianqian, Spirit Beast Mountain would take away five people from this Spirit Testing Conference, which is the most spots in recent years.

After the candidates were selected, the old man in blue gave them two quarters of an hour to say goodbye to their families.

When the time was up, he finished his pleasantries with Lu Baiyun and said loudly, "Zhou Tai and Junior Sister Hu, you two will ride with me on this vulture. You two junior brothers, please take the other three with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Zhou Tai and Hu Qianqian with one hand each and leaped onto the giant bird's back.

call!call!

The giant bird flapped its wings, creating a strong wind, and then it rode the wind and flew high into the sky.

Zhou Tai kept the old man in green robes' instructions firmly in mind, gripping the ropes on the giant bird's back tightly with both hands while trying to open his eyes and look down.

The view of the mountains and rivers below was breathtaking, a sight far superior to anything seen from the ground.

Admiring the magnificent scenery, a surge of pride welled up within him, and he silently encouraged himself, "With the help of a favorable wind, I soar to the heavens. I hope that on my journey, I too can spread my wings like a roc and ascend straight to the clouds!"
