Chapter 7: Entry into the Sect
Ma Wu realized that he had come to know quite a bit about Jia Cui'er during this time. Although she is not attractive, aside from that point, everything else about her is quite good
In the subsequent tests, the examiner replaced the participants with other young individuals, and there were no longer any candidates with a spiritual essence. The elder concluded the selection of disciples and prepared to find a place to rest, after all, it had been a long day. Of course, it was also those few examiners who were tired.
Ma Wu directly stated: "I want to join the Xuan Yin Sect"
Upon hearing Jia Cui'er's words, Ma Wu replied, "I am not afraid; I am quite strong, you know."
The noise from the audience gradually quieted down, as everyone awaited the results. Jia Cui'er frequently cast her beautiful gaze towards Ma Wu.
Ma Wu's heart was increasingly filled with doubt; it seemed that he needed to clarify this matter. He was also uncertain whether the manipulation of that kind of primordial spirit was harmful.
That lewd man ultimately decided to join the Xuan Yin Sect. He was informed to come over tomorrow, just like Ma Wu.
Ma Wu had stepped down from the stage and was still pondering over what had just happened. Jia Cui'er, seeing Ma Wu's expression, was at a loss for how to comfort him. She could only stare at him blankly.
The audience below finally understood what had happened. They began to discuss among themselves: "This kid has no primordial spirit, so why does he want to go in and engage with the books? What a waste of such an opportunity. It would be better to ask for something else, like a beautiful woman or a windfall."
Yes, I have made my decision
As Ma Wu returned, everyone on the stage was taken aback. The old man was about to speak, asking Ma Wu not to disturb the upcoming tests, but then he noticed the token in Ma Wu's hand
Madam Jia directly stuffed it into Ma Wu's pocket, forcibly giving it to him
Recalling the last trivial matter, Jia Cui'er's face flushed repeatedly. "What is happening to me? Why can't I bring myself to hate this person now?"
The old man saw the lewd man's appearance and felt it resembled his own from years ago. Suddenly, his expression changed to match that of the lewd man as he replied: "We are not lacking in beautiful women. We have all kinds."
After they finished speaking, both fell into a moment of silence
The old man also came to his senses, looking at Ma Wu, and felt the aura that only those who have reached the Yuan level possess. At this moment, the old man secretly thought: "Could it be that this young man is of the Earth grade? Only those above the Earth grade would give off such a feeling. It can't be that lucky, if he is of the Earth grade, then I would truly be out of luck."
After everyone finished listening, they became noisy. Ma Wu was also shocked by this result.
The elder accepted the token and said: "Come back here tomorrow at this time to find us. I will take you into the sect. However, once you are in the sect, what you do will no longer be up to you, so you must think carefully."
After pondering for a moment, the elder said: "This request is in accordance with the regulations. However, you do not possess a primordial spirit, and thus cannot become a disciple of our sect. Why do you wish to enter?"
The young man testing the primordial spirit looked at the old man, resembling a rogue who had spotted a solitary girl. He felt disdain for the old man in his heart; if he were not his own master's uncle, he would have loved to throw a shoe at his face, as it was a disgrace to the Xuan Yin Sect. Then he recalled how the old man always chose the weakest disciples to take back with him, only to be ridiculed by his own master. No wonder he was so out of sorts today.
When Ma Wu bid farewell to Lady Jia, she gifted him a jade pendant, stating that it was a token of their engagement. She asked Ma Wu to deliver it to Jia Cui'er in the future
After Ma Wu and the lecherous man gathered at the designated location, they converged together with the arrival of the old man's group and proceeded towards the Xuan Yin Sect
"We shall meet again tomorrow without fail." With this, Ma Wu left the stage after uttering a single sentence
As Ma Wugang stepped out of the door, he saw Jia Cui'er standing at the entrance, conversing with a book.
When the next day arrived, Ma Wu quietly left by himself. He did not want to disturb others any further
Young man, feel free to state your demands directly said the old man without beating around the bush
"Then you have no spiritual essence, what are you going there for? Are you not afraid they will bully you?" When Jia Cui'er said this, her voice seemed to carry a hint of concern, mixed with a sense of reluctance.
After reluctantly accepting it, Ma Wu thought about how he would live if he really had to marry that Jia Cui'er. It seems that joining the Xuan Yin Sect was indeed the right choice.
The old man can recognize this object" said Ma Wuzhao as he threw the token towards the elder
The lecherous man glanced around and quietly asked: "Are there any beautiful women?"
In fact, Ma Wu was confident that he possessed a primordial spirit, but he did not dare to be certain. However, he now knows that he does not.
"Alright, I'm not saying I won't come back. I'm not one of their people; I can still come out if I want to," said Ma Wuhaha with a laugh.
At this moment, Ma Wu realized that his lifelong affair had already been arranged by the shopkeeper and Madam Jia. For a time, he was unsure whether he should accept this token.
Ma Wu walked step by step towards the stage, and his anticipation grew stronger with each step. It was the first time he felt such intense nervousness
He replied, "I am merely curious about what Xiuyuan actually is."
Ma Wu looked at Jia Cui'er and said, "I truly apologize for last time. It was not my intention."
After Ma Wu left, the old man smiled at the lewd man and said, "Are you willing to cultivate your essence"
That token belongs to the Xuan Yin Sect. Whoever holds it can compel the Xuan Yin Sect to perform a task. This task must also remain within the boundaries set by the Xuan Yin Sect.
To understand the matter, one must gain a deeper understanding of the cultivation of Yuan, which means one must enter the sect of Yuan cultivation. Before me lies an opportunity, yet I cannot enter the Xuan Yin Sect. At this moment, a sudden inspiration struck Ma Wu's mind.
The old man in the middle looked at the lewd man from earlier, and no matter how he looked at him, he found him quite pleasing to the eye. "That is a Xuan grade primordial spirit. How did I come across it? In the sect, such a primordial spirit is a rare sight and would definitely be given special training. Finding a disciple like this for the sect, when I return and compare with my senior brothers, how impressive that would be"
The old man's interest, sparked by the young man's words, was extinguished. "It seems that the feeling I had just now was mistaken."
Ma Wu took out the token he was wearing and turned back to walk towards the stage
After the afternoon walk at m.hetushu.com, Jia Cui'er leaned at the door, gazing at Ma Wu's silhouette, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
After Ma Wu came down from the stage, he felt there was nothing else to do and headed towards the Jia family. Jia Cui'er also followed Ma Wu, not saying a word. It seemed as though she had something on her mind.
The testing time seems a bit long, so the young man tried several times. In the end, he said: "This gentleman has no primordial spirit."
After Ma Wu arrived at the Jia family, he began to tidy up all his belongings. When everything was nearly in order, he prepared to explain the situation to Madam Jia before bidding farewell
Under the attention of the crowd, the young man testing the primordial spirit began the assessment directed at Ma Wu
By the way, the shopkeeper gave me a token when he left, but I don't know if it is of any use
As soon as Ma Wu's voice finished calling out, he walked towards the stage. People hurriedly made way for Ma Wu, not knowing where this young man had come from.
"Ma Wu, are you really going to the Xuan Yin Sect?" Jia Cui'er asked after seeing Ma Wu come out
The old man began to entice, observing the reluctant expression of the lecherous man: "Our Xuan Yin Sect is a place that others can only dream of entering. Inside, one can have whatever one desires"
What is the matter with the mobilization of one's own spiritual essence?" Ma Wu thought to himself upon hearing the result
