FWF #138 - The body of all herbs!
#138 - The body of all herbs!
As the saying goes, even the gatekeeper of a prime minister's residence is a seventh-rank official.
Even the doorman of the Prime Minister's house is equivalent to a seventh-rank official.
It means that people who are attached to big shots or powerful forces should not be underestimated and need to be treated with caution.
The same principle applies.
Although the handyman disciples of Medicine King Mountain have the word 'handyman' in their title, they are still legitimate disciples of Medicine King Mountain. In the eyes of outsiders, they cannot be easily offended.
Strictly speaking, the handyman disciples of Medicine King Mountain are actually not bad. Although their status is low, and they even need to do various chores, not much different from ordinary servants, they at least have a chance of promotion.
As long as they can show talent or are lucky enough to befriend someone important, they may have the opportunity to be promoted to outer or inner disciples in the future.
It's just that everyone's original goal was to become outer disciples, or even inner disciples.
They had imagined it so well, but now they can only become handyman disciples. This sense of disappointment is difficult to accept!
Perhaps some people may possess hidden talents and might be able to ascend to the sky in one step. However, this possibility is very slim, and few people think they have such good luck.
After the young man left in disappointment, others continued to be tested one after another.
Nearly half of them had inferior-grade roots and were eliminated miserably.
Most of the rest had medium-grade roots. Like the young man before, True Person Crane Feather promised that they could join Medicine King Mountain and become handyman disciples.
Occasionally, there were two with superior-grade roots, but it was not much of a surprise. True Person Crane Feather's reaction was indifferent, and he gave them the qualifications to become outer disciples.
As more and more people were tested for their talents, but all of them had medium or inferior-grade roots, True Person Crane Feather's expression became increasingly unsightly.
At this time, it was Xia Xiuxue's turn to be tested.
Not far away, Xia Mingyang's spirits lifted, and he looked over. Gu Yuan also showed a hint of curiosity and paid attention to Xia Xiuxue's actions.
Although Xia Xiuxue's roots were ordinary, Gu Yuan clearly noticed that Xia Mingyang had great expectations for Xia Xiuxue.
Because even when they learned that medium-grade roots could only become handyman disciples, the father and daughter did not show much disappointment.
Obviously, the father and daughter had enough confidence, so they were not afraid of failing the assessment!
When Xia Xiuxue's delicate jade hand was pressed tightly on the Xuanji Disk, the Xuanji Disk did not light up with white light like others, but instead emitted a faint cyan-green glow.
"Cyan-green... Could it be some kind of spiritual body?"
Seeing this, many people were taken aback.
They had also noticed that people with ordinary talents basically made the Xuanji Disk emit white light, and then condense into various spiritual forms.
Once other colors appeared, it clearly meant that Xia Xiuxue possessed some special talent.
Gu Yuan was a little surprised. This Third Miss Xia actually possessed a special talent!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Xia Mingyang clenched his fingers and excitedly shouted "Good!" repeatedly.
His own root talent was already good, being a superior-grade root, but this daughter could surpass him, how could he not be happy?
True Person Crane Feather's spirits lifted at this time, and he stared at this scene.
The changes in the Xuanji Disk continued.
The cyan-green light changed constantly, successively showing the images of many exotic flowers and rare herbs, emitting a vibrant aura.
Some people even smelled wisps of herbal fragrance.
When the light gradually dimmed, Xia Xiuxue clasped her hands together and looked at True Person Crane Feather with some nervousness and apprehension.
True Person Crane Feather's expression obviously softened a bit, and he said: "You should have the Hundred Herbs Body. This kind of physique is naturally close to spiritual flowers and rare herbs, suitable for cultivating spiritual medicine, and can be considered half a wood-attribute spiritual body."
After a moment of contemplation, he said: "With your talent, you are qualified to become an inner disciple of my Medicine King Mountain. However, the disciples of my Medicine King Mountain, whether outer or inner, are all about the capable rising and the mediocre falling."
"If you have the ability to keep this inner disciple status, naturally no one will say anything. If you can't, don't blame others."
Inner disciple!
This caused a small commotion among the crowd.
Especially the two people who got the spots for outer disciples were somewhat envious and jealous.
The benefits of being an outer disciple are already very good.
However, compared to inner disciples, they are still much inferior!
Inner disciples not only receive enough food pills and some spirit stones every month, but also receive the True Dharma of Entering the Dao after joining the sect!
On the other hand, outer disciples can only start practicing martial arts and cultivation techniques. Moreover, they have to find ways to solve the various resources needed for cultivation themselves.
After a Congenital Martial Master reaches perfection, if they want to advance to the Heaven-Human Realm, they have to do tasks to accumulate merit in exchange for the True Dharma of Entering the Dao.
As long as Xia Xiuxue cultivates step by step, unless her luck is particularly bad, she will become a Heaven-Human Realm cultivator at the very least in the future!
If she cultivates diligently, it is not impossible to advance to a Golden Core Grand Cultivator.
And a Golden Core Grand Cultivator can live for at least five hundred years, create a cultivation family, and protect the family for hundreds of years.
What a great opportunity this is?!
For a time, many people's eyes turned red with envy.
"Hundred Herbs Body, naturally close to spiritual flowers and rare herbs..."
Gu Yuan nodded secretly in his heart: "Xia Xiuxue's luck is not bad."
Medicine King Mountain is mainly engaged in alchemy and planting spiritual herbs. Most of the sect's inheritance is fire and wood-attribute classics. They are particularly fond of disciples with wood-attribute spiritual bodies.
Because whether it is alchemy or planting spiritual herbs, cultivators with fire and wood-attribute physiques can often gain more advantages.
Even if this Hundred Herbs Body is only half a wood-attribute spiritual body, it is much stronger than a superior-grade root!
There is already an essential difference between a spiritual body and a mortal body.
It is conceivable that Xia Xiuxue will definitely receive enough attention after joining Medicine King Mountain.
"If this Hundred Herbs Body can be properly cultivated, there may be a chance to advance to a Hundred Herbs Spiritual Body. Fellow Daoist Crane Feather, you are lucky to receive a disciple with this kind of talent!"
Star Nebula praised.
"Whether or not she can advance to a spiritual body depends on her future fortune."
True Person Crane Feather said modestly, but could not help but sigh:
"But the disciple you accepted a few days ago actually possesses the Yuan Chen Sword Bone physique. It is naturally compatible with the Taoist Dharma Sword Sutra of your Star River Sword Sect. Speaking of which, you are the lucky one."
The Yuan Chen Sword Bone can naturally sense the power of the stars, and the talent for swordsmanship is also extremely high. It is definitely the most suitable talent physique for practicing the Dharma and Sword Secrets of the Star River Sword Sect!
For the Star River Sword Sect, its importance is beyond doubt!
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind."
True Person Crane Feather's words can be said to have hit Star Nebula's heart. He repeatedly waved his hand, but he could not stop the smile from showing on his face.
True Person Treasure Toad did not say anything on the side. The Hundred Herbs Body is certainly good, but it is only good. How easy is it to advance to a spiritual body?
The test continued.
Soon, it was Li Changqing's turn.
Seeing Li Changqing step forward, the yard suddenly became quiet. No one spoke, and everyone stared with their eyes wide open, all curious about what kind of talent this person had.
True Person Crane Feather's expression was indifferent, and he did not say a word.
