Judging by the circumstances, he is bound to receive focused training at Bailing Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for future prospects, he might not end up worse than myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought only made her more irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the Taoist’s invitation, Baili An merely smiled politely, saying: “Thank you for your favor, True Master. However, my aspiration lies with Tianxi, and I’m afraid I will disappoint your kindness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually refused?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was dumbfounded, witnessing his confident and composed demeanor, and couldn’t help but entertain an absurd thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this young man, perhaps, relying on possessing a Spirit Root rarer than a top-grade Spirit Root, aiming to secure a position at Tianxi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Hong couldn’t care less about the previous unpleasantness, as discovering a rare Spirit Root would be a monumental achievement, surpassing a thousand top-grade roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled with excitement and anticipation, he quickly invited Baili An to the altar to touch the glassy Spiritual Sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An glanced at him with a smile but didn’t proceed. Instead, he moved to the back of the queue, folded his arms, and said: “The rules of Tianxi Sword Sect are as firm as mountains; law cannot be broken. To avoid causing trouble for others, I’d better line up, right? Besides, I’m not in any hurry, so I can wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he held this demeanor, the more it seemed that he had hidden gold up his sleeve and was unafraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qixue snickered, saying: “This young gentleman’s belly sure holds pitch-black ink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yunqin, feeling as restless as Fan Hong, perceived Baili An’s unconventional actions as sheer arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having suffered repeated humiliation, Fan Hong was eager but restrained from saying more; enduringly, he finally awaited Baili An, only then calming his inner turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adjusting the table’s Spiritual Sphere with a composed demeanor, he smiled and said: “Regarding the issue earlier, I hope this young brother won’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An didn’t respond, raising his palm to the sphere under the anticipating gazes of over a dozen Outer Disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while… nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Hong blinked blankly, looking somewhat foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, his fellow disciples blinked with odd expressions: “Is the Soul Attraction Stone broken?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s selection had thousands of participants. Even the most ordinary mortals, lacking Spirit Roots, harbor the vibrant Spiritual Power of heaven and earth within their ordinary bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, the glass sphere should at least respond with some glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That no light appeared, it was akin to touching a lifeless object…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the stark contrast was too overwhelming, Fan Hong unyieldingly squinted at the Spiritual Sphere, striving for a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, his eyelids twitched, he took a deep breath and said: “The Soul Attraction Stone is not broken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pointing at the glass sphere, his gaze returned to formal indifference: “It’s gray.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sphere’s center, the faint hue amalgamating with the night’s color was hard to detect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray aura…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s even worse than a useless Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was even more despairing than those with no Spirit Root at all; at least mortals without roots might, with great fortune, acquire a compatible Spirit Root or in the case of assembling numerous celestial treasures, possibly cultivate one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gray Spiritual Energy was clearly a Dead Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dead Spirit Root was incredibly stubborn, akin to a boulder, deeply entrenched, meaning it occupies a Dung Pit without producing results—no amount of Immortal Elixir or Spirit Grass could change that, nor could the root be replaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fated to be useless, bringing such an entity into the sect would waste resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, the dozens of Outer Disciples found the situation terribly unlucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yunqin’s discomfort dissipated instantly; her eyebrows relaxed, laughing softly: “He should have had auspicious fortune, yet due to his excessive arrogance, lost both sesame and watermelon, achieving nothing at both ends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qixue couldn’t understand why Jiang Yunqin, usually gentle and soft-hearted, was so harsh towards this young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of the ill-sounding words, they were reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, that Immortal Taoist is likely to avoid accepting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Hong remarked indifferently: “It seems this young brother is unrelated to both Tianxi and Bailing Temple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s face showed no embarrassment; withdrawing his hand, he reached into his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bailing True Master kindly attempted to alleviate the awkwardness, saying: “Old Taoists are not untrustworthy. Though the Dead Spirit Root is difficult to cultivate the Great Path, if you’re willing to cultivate with me, I can teach you the longevity method for strengthening the body, teaching you medicine to forge a unique path in the Mortal World.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the Taoist’s concern, mostly due to the affection for the little boy’s influence, Baili An couldn’t help but feel slightly warmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled softly: “True Master’s heartfelt intentions, but Bailing Temple indeed doesn’t suit the younger generation; my heart still yearns for Tianxi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Hong thought his words shameless, his brows furrowed deeply, the pent-up anger fueling his increasing irritation: “The Tianxi Sword Sect doesn’t accept wastrels!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining dozen Outer Disciples roared with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yunqin also chuckled and shook her head: “Humiliating oneself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An displayed no signs of insult, his expression remained calm as he took out a spirit-locking bag woven with silver thread from his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rumor has it that the Tianxi Sword Sect has a rule: participants in the disciple selection can use a hundred resentful ghosts to bypass the Spirit Root evaluation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha?” Fan Hong laughed uncontrollably, looking playfully at the spirit-locking bag in his hand: “Do you expect me to believe a Dead Spirit Root bearer could subdue a hundred resentful ghosts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resentful ghosts aren’t evil ghosts. Resentful ghosts afflict regions, and the yin’s bitter aura must ferment for at least five hundred years to become resentful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred resentful ghosts comprise a ten-year course load for an Inner Disciple of the Tianxi Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-06T15:16:51.373Z",1,"novelbin.me","323c13b3f3ce90d49fc938db5ef29bcd59d3d45417a7941b8540797f1642f9b2","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-901","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-1049",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
