Chapter 641: All Question Marks

~7 min read 1,259 words

Ye Lin was very curious: what exactly was his bone structure?

He remembered that in his original world, that Fan Xiu had activated his Heavenly Eye to see through the talents of Zhuge Yi and the others, but had said nothing about his own.

He wondered if this stone stele before him could help him test it out.

The stone stele lit up with a fluorescent glow, and a moment later, text appeared.

Bone Age: Three months

Cultivation: Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering Realm

Spiritual Root:???

Constitution:???

Ye Lin: "???"

Immortal Cloud Sect disciple: "???"

The crowd waiting for the test behind him: "???"

Everyone's face was filled with a string of question marks.

The Immortal Cloud Sect disciple was also stunned; he had tested so many people, yet this situation had never occurred before. Was the bone structure stele broken?

He looked at Ye Lin, then looked at the "three months" bone age written on the stele.

No matter how he looked at it, this guy didn't look like he had been born three months ago.

Ye Lin's expression was somewhat strange.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, this bone age was likely calculated from the last time he used his Undying Body to restore his physical form.

Three months ago, he had been vigorously providing Yang Qi to the fox demons, so naturally, he couldn't avoid using his Undying Body to recover.

It was fortunate he hadn't used his Undying Body recently; otherwise, this bone age might have measured as if he were only two days old.

"Come, move aside."

After the Immortal Cloud Sect disciple had Ye Lin move aside, he placed his own hand on the stele.

Bone Age: 76

Cultivation: Late stage of the Heavenly Gang Realm

Spiritual Root: Profound-grade mid-tier Lightning-Fire dual spiritual root

Constitution: Cloud Void Spirit Body

"That's not right, it's not broken."

The Immortal Cloud Sect disciple's face was full of confusion. Helpless, he could only seek help from Elder Zhou Yan via voice transmission.

"Elder Zhou, this disciple has encountered a problem here; I ask for your guidance."

Zhou Yan glanced downward, withdrew his gaze, and spoke to the disciple behind him.

"Xinran, you go handle it."

"Yes, Master."

Behind Zhou Yan, a slender female disciple in white drifted over, her face carrying a coldness that kept people at a distance.

"What's going on?" Ye Xinran asked.

"Senior Sister, the bone structure stele cannot measure this person's spiritual root or constitution, and the bone age shows he is only three months old..." The disciple gave a bitter smile.

"Hmm? How is that possible? Put your hand on it again and try." Ye Xinran urged.

Ye Lin helplessly pressed his hand on it again, but the result was exactly the same as the last time.

Ye Xinran's face was full of astonishment; she raised her head to look at Zhou Yan.

"Master, you should come and see for yourself... This disciple is incompetent... I cannot handle this."

"What is going on?"

Zhou Yan landed in confusion and looked at the bone structure stele. At this sight, he froze.

"Bone age of three months? Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering Realm? Did he start cultivating in his mother's womb?"

"This disciple has verified it; there is no problem with the bone structure stele, but this is what it measures," the Immortal Cloud Sect disciple on the side said helplessly.

"Hmm, I understand." Zhou Yan looked at Ye Lin. "What is your name?"

"Xie... Ye Lin."

"Hmm, Ye Lin, is it? Give me your hand." Zhou Yan nodded.

Ye Lin obediently extended his hand. Zhou Yan clamped onto his wrist, and the next moment, Ye Lin felt a powerful force surge into his body, traveling along his extraordinary meridians.

"Eh?"

A look of confusion appeared on Zhou Yan's face.

Because after probing, he discovered that Ye Lin's bone age was indeed only three months!

What kind of bird situation was this? Even the children of those great cultivator experts wouldn't grow this big in three months, right?

More importantly, he also couldn't tell what kind of spiritual root or constitution Ye Lin had.

His spiritual root faintly emitted the aura of a Heaven-grade top-tier spiritual root, but it was also chaotic, like a big pot of stew.

His constitution was even stranger; who had ever seen a three-month-old bone age running around so energetically?

"How strange..."

Zhou Yan couldn't help but scratch his head, as he also couldn't determine Ye Lin's bone structure talent. Having lived in the Immortal Cloud Sect for so many years, rising from a disciple to an elder, this was the first time he had seen such a strange occurrence.

"What exactly are you?"

Zhou Yan couldn't help but circle around Ye Lin to look at him.

"You don't have any demon or devil aura on you; you are indeed a human."

Zhou Yan was somewhat conflicted about whether to let Ye Lin pass.

A mere Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering Realm, not even at the Profound Connection stage—if his talent wasn't high enough, Zhou Yan would definitely drive Ye Lin away directly and tell him to come back ten years later for the next disciple assessment.

But he couldn't see Ye Lin's spiritual root or constitution at all, which made him feel troubled.

Ye Lin felt a bit unnerved by his gaze and quickly took out a storage ring, slipping it directly to Zhou Yan when no one was paying attention.

"Um, Elder Zhou, could you please make an exception? I know Senior Sister Xu Minxuan."

"What are you doing? You actually dare to attempt to bribe an elder, you..."

Zhou Yan glared, just about to righteously condemn Ye Lin, but when he probed the number of Immortal Source Stones inside the storage ring, he immediately gasped.

Inside this storage ring, there were a full three hundred top-tier Immortal Source Stones!

One had to know that three hundred top-tier Immortal Source Stones were equivalent to three hundred million low-tier Immortal Source Stones, enough to help three ascenders reshape their bodies.

Such a sum of Immortal Source Stones was something even Zhou Yan, an elder of the Immortal Cloud Sect, wouldn't dare to say he could ignore.

He hadn't expected that this small cultivator, only at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering Realm, would have such "money power."

"Ahem."

Zhou Yan coughed twice, his old face turning a bit red.

"I'll count this spiritual root test as passed, but I'll say the ugly words first: if you cannot pass the subsequent assessments, you still won't be able to join the Immortal Cloud Sect!"

"Many thanks, Elder!"

Ye Lin gave a cheeky grin. Money makes the mare go; this principle was universal in every world.

It wasn't in vain that he had painstakingly wasted so much time creating the Yihong Zoo.

As time passed, the people in line soon finished testing their spiritual roots.

During this period, several brilliant talents appeared, making even Zhou Yan's eyes light up.

And over seventy percent of the people, because their bone structures were not good enough, couldn't even step through the Immortal Cloud Sect's mountain gate and had to leave with regret.

Seeing that everyone had finished testing their bone structures, Zhou Yan flew up into the air once again.

"Your bone structures all have the potential for cultivation; in other words, you are all good seedlings."

"So now, the Immortal Cloud Sect's entrance assessment truly begins!"
