Chapter 116: 【Pure Gentleman, Joining the Mountain Gate】 (First update, begging for votes)

Tianyu Immortal Sect.

There were three entrance assessments in total. The first was to test Spirit Root aptitude; those with Spirit Root aptitude above the superior-grade Three Spirit Roots could proceed to the next one.

The second was the Xuan Yuan Wenxin Lake. A person sat in it and entered an illusion. The lake water would display the content of the answers, thereby observing a person's moral character and temperament.

The third was climbing the Thousand-Fold Mountain. Considering comprehensive factors such as an individual's constitution and cultivation, different people would have different initial pressures when climbing the Thousand-Fold Mountain.

This was to test a person's perseverance.

Aptitude was the stepping stone, character was a necessary but not sufficient condition, and perseverance was a bonus item.

In the case of passing the triple assessment, there would be a comprehensive ranking.

Every time disciples were selected on a large scale, a recruitment number would be randomly chosen.

Selections were made based on scores from high to low. If one was not selected, it meant the fate was not enough.

But for those like Lu Runping who came in through the 'back door', they were not assessed in the same batch, and the passing score line would be raised quite a bit.

And in Chen Songming's view, Lu Runping's aptitude was extremely good. If the other two items were barely passing, he could successfully join the sect.

Perseverance could be cultivated, and character could be educated; only aptitude could not be changed.

Therefore, for the former two, requirements could naturally be relaxed for those with high aptitude.

Among the comprehensive scores, aptitude was also the item with the highest weight.

Chen Songming first took Lu Runping to see his senior brother Dai Zhongjin, expecting this Spirit Transformation Realm senior brother to be able to distinguish what kind of constitution this was.

But unfortunately, he didn't know either.

Finally, he went to see his own master, Elder Xue Yunzi.

Xue Yunzi saw Lu Runping and naturally saw his extraordinary aspects at a glance.

"This is the Five Fragrances Body, which can release five kinds of emotional powers: joy, anger, sorrow, and resentment, forming a special fragrance that is perceived by the soul.

If used well, it is a very good special constitution, and it is also very helpful for beast taming.

It's actually an Ice Spirit Root as well; not bad talent."

Appreciation appeared in Xue Yunzi's eyes. His few disciples were not top-tier in terms of talent.

Beast Taming was not a profession that pursued individual ultimate power, so there were not many geniuses willing to join him here. Among Xue Yunzi's true disciples, although there were those with single Spirit Root top-tier talent, this was the first time he had seen someone with a special constitution plus single Spirit Root talent.

Especially, this constitution was also relatively suitable for being a Beast Tamer; fate!

"Songming, take him to do the entrance assessment. If he passes the assessment, he will be your junior brother."

With such aptitude, even if his perseverance was a bit poor or there were some unbearable places in his past, it could be tolerated.

The child was still young and could be re-educated.

In terms of this aptitude, it was truly very suitable for the Beast Taming lineage.

Lu Runping was taken to the Xuan Yuan Wenxin Lake by Chen Songming. Along the way, it could be clearly perceived that Chen Songming's attitude towards him had improved a lot.

There was a special Deacon sitting in charge of the Xuan Yuan Wenxin Lake, and he was also the person responsible for announcing the test results of the disciples, but the judgment was not something he could decide alone.

Lu Runping was placed in the center of the lake water and immediately entered the illusion.

This was constructed based on the scene with the most intense emotional fluctuations in his own mind, which was the scene of waking up and finding his parents' corpses.

He became very angry in an instant, and then changes appeared in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, decades later, he became a cultivator and had a certain level of cultivation.

Going out to perform a task, he received two pieces of news.

Two demonic beasts were causing trouble. One had already slaughtered a village and was fleeing. If he didn't go to chase it immediately, it would definitely run away, and this demonic beast was the very one that had killed his parents.

Another demonic beast was about to cause trouble. If he didn't rush over immediately, a village would be slaughtered.

Now Lu Runping needed to make a choice: give up revenge and choose rescue, letting the demonic beast that killed his parents continue to roam and commit crimes, or give up rescue and choose revenge, letting a village of living people be slaughtered.

At this moment, Lu Runping fell into a dilemma.

Hatred or redemption?

According to a normal kind person, they would definitely choose to temporarily put down hatred and rescue those villagers who were about to be killed.

Lu Runping in the illusion did the same.

In the view of the judging Deacons, the choices Lu Runping made at this time were the most real decisions in the depths of his heart.

In fact, this was the true body of Lu Runping, who was far away in Qingyang City, watching this scene, making the choice he thought was most likely to get a high score.

If it were the real Lu Runping making the choice, he would definitely go for revenge without hesitation.

What does other people's life or death have to do with me!

In the subsequent various illusions, Lu Runping analyzed the highest scores before making choices.

The assessment of the Xuan Yuan Wenxin Lake ended, the judging Deacons exchanged for a while, and finally gave an extremely high score, as well as a comment.

"Kind-hearted and righteous, kind and pure."

Seeing this comment, Lu Runping almost laughed out loud.

He didn't expect that he, a person who dug up people's ancestral graves, could one day receive such an evaluation.

Chen Songming smiled and entrusted Lu Runping:

"Junior brother, although we righteous cultivators pursue fairness and justice, remember not to be compassionate to the enemy, otherwise you will suffer a big loss in the future."

Good fellow, this is directly calling him junior brother.

It seems that the aptitude score plus the temperament score had already allowed him to obtain the qualification to become a disciple of the Immortal Sect.

Even the last item of perseverance did not need to be assessed.

However, in order to get enough attention from Xue Yunzi, he still participated in the third round of assessment.

Climbing the Thousand-Fold Mountain.

It was originally a clone. Lu Runping knew where the real limit was, so he kept going up until he reached the highest point.

When he reached the peak, he had already reached his limit, climbing up the last step bit by bit.

The assessment ended, and Chen Songming hurriedly gave him a pill.

"Junior brother, you don't have to work so hard. After you passed the Wenxin Lake assessment, Master already told me that you could join the sect and become a true disciple."

Lu Runping said stubbornly:

"I want to become stronger. Only when I become very powerful can I protect my family from being harmed by demonic beasts!"

Chen Songming couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This junior brother was kind-hearted, but not without hatred, just able to abandon the small self for the great righteousness. He was truly another pure gentleman of our righteous path.

Subsequently, Chen Songming took Lu Runping back to Lingyu Peak to see Xue Yunzi.

Xue Yunzi saw the final assessment score and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

This is a good disciple given by heaven!

"Good, from now on you are the fifth true disciple of Xue Yunzi. The formal apprenticeship ceremony will be held after you step into the Qi Refining Realm. Songming, the teaching of Guan Sheng before the Qi Refining Realm will be left to you."

Xue Yunzi said with a smile.

Lu Runping immediately controlled the clone to kneel on the ground and kowtowed:

"Disciple pays respects to Master!"

Everything went smoothly, successfully entering Xue Yunzi's sect. Next was to perform more prominently, so as to obtain the reward of that drop of immortal spirit blood.

Sorry, some things delayed me. ===== CHAPTER 117 =====
