After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 2 Spiritual Root
Three days later, Pei Yun followed a group of Pei family members to the City Lord's Mansion in Chi Ning City. She used to be aloof and timid, and didn't have many friends. At this time, she walked silently at the end of the team, observing these familiar yet unfamiliar people in front of her without making a sound.
Walking in front was Pei Tan, the head of the Pei family and her grandfather. Beside him were the eldest master Pei Mo and the second master, her father Pei Qing. Those who could follow closely behind the three of them were all children who had performed well in the past, such as her cousin Pei Ruo, who was dressed in purple and had a cold face. She didn't even look at the people around her who were trying to show her kindness, but just lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Second brother, do you think we can enter the Yunshan Sect?" On the other side, Pei Ling was pestering the handsome man beside him. This was Pei Ling's second brother Pei Ye. Pei Ye was fifteen years old this year, which just met the qualification threshold for admission.
"Whether you can enter depends on whether you have spiritual roots. Only immortal sects have treasures to test spiritual roots." Pei Ye explained calmly. Pei Qing, the second master of the Pei Mansion, had many wives and concubines, and more than 20 illegitimate sons and daughters, including her. Pei Ye was one of the only two legitimate sons, and he usually ignored them. However, as long as they behaved themselves, Pei Ye would not deliberately bully or make trouble. This was much better than Pei Ling, who was arrogant all day long.
"If the Yunshan Sect's venerable doesn't come, we won't know if we have spiritual roots?"
"The treasures for testing spiritual roots are precious. Apart from the immortal sects, only the big cities and the imperial city have them." Due to the age limit, not everyone can have their spiritual roots tested within the age range. Many young people, as soon as they reach the age, before waiting for the Yunshan Sect to select disciples, will travel to those big cities on their own, test their spiritual roots, and strive to be admitted into the sect after testing them.
Pei Yun listened to everyone's gossip, touched the necklace hidden under his clothes, and said nothing.
Soon, everyone arrived at the square in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Many people had already arrived in the open space. Like the Pei family, they were all small families in Chi Ning City. After two incense sticks, half of the square was almost full of people. At this time, the City Lord of Chi Ning City came out with two men and women in white clothes. Behind them were the heads of the five major families in Chi Ning City.
Seeing the respectful looks of the five major families, everyone realized that the two people in white were the envoys of the Yunshan Sect, and they immediately bowed to greet them.
Pei Yun glanced at the totem of the Yunshan Sect on the two men's clothes, then bent down as well.
The woman in white took out a ruler as transparent as crystal from her storage bag. The man in white beside her said loudly, "Let's start testing spiritual roots now. Children aged fifteen and below can be tested." He paused and said, "Don't try to hide your age. I have a treasure that is specially used to test bone age. If you are proven to be deceiving, the consequences will be something you cannot afford."
"Yes."
"Start now."
The first to come forward were the children of the five major families, who totaled several hundred people, but most of them were mortals without spiritual roots. In the end, about seven or eight people from each family had their spiritual roots tested, which was about the same as usual. However, this time the Luo family and the Ma family had the upper hand, because their families had middle-grade and lower-grade Xuan-level spiritual roots.
Spiritual roots can be good or bad. The purity of the spiritual roots represents the difficulty of cultivation, so people divide the levels of spiritual roots into four types: heaven, earth, mysterious and yellow. Each level is further divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
And she, Pei Yun, was of the lower yellow grade, the lowest level. Even if she entered the Yunshan Sect, she could only be a menial disciple. If she had not had the chance to improve her grade, she would have only been at the Qi Refining level for the rest of her life.
"You, come up!" Soon it was time for the Pei family test, and the first one was Pei Ruo. Pei Yun saw that her usually cold face finally showed some nervousness, her eyes flickered slightly, and her hands clenched unconsciously into fists.
In the past few days after her rebirth, she reviewed her past life experience. She could accept that the person she secretly loved didn't like her, and she could also accept that the person she secretly loved liked Pei Ruo. Feelings couldn't be forced. There was no such thing as "I like you and you must like me". But she couldn't forgive them. As fellow disciples, they used her and other fellow disciples as shields to push into the abyss in order to escape after falling into the trap of the demons...
"Another mid-level Xuan-level one!"
"Oh my god, this Pei family..."
The Pei family is not a big family. The emergence of a mid-grade Xuan-level spiritual root immediately changed the faces of the people from the five major families.
The two white-robed messengers also looked better. They didn't even look down on the yellow-level ones. "Next."
Until Pei Ye, a huge discussion broke out in the crowd again -
"Another low-grade Xuan-level spiritual root!"
"This Pei family is going to rise!"
"Even among the five major families, there are not two Xuan-level people. This Pei family..."
Everyone looked at the three people headed by the Pei family with smiles on their faces, and then glanced at the five major families who had already stood up with extremely ugly faces. They all sighed secretly that the Pei family was going to rise, and it was estimated that it would be one of the six major families in the next ten years.
Apparently, the Patriarch of the Pei family thought the same. Pei Tan straightened his back, looking very proud. He pulled Pei Ruo and Pei Ye to his side, looked at them with satisfaction, and spoke encouraging words.
At this time, Pei Ling's result came out. It was a middle-grade yellow grade. Although it was yellow grade, he was the only one with spiritual roots besides Pei Ruo and Pei Ye. The Pei family was surprised again.
However, after that, no one in the Pei family had spiritual roots anymore, and Pei Yun was ranked last among the Pei family's children. At this time, the Pei family was already thinking about the subsequent banquets, and they did not hold out hope for Pei family's illegitimate children. Anyway, having two people with Xuan-level spiritual roots was already a step above the five major families, and it was considered a big deal.
"Come forward."
Pei Yun followed his instructions and walked up to the two of them. She stretched out her hand and held the ruler. Even though she knew she had spiritual roots, she couldn't help but hold her breath. After a few moments, a small transparent section of the ruler emitted a faint yellow light.
The two raised their eyes to look at Pei Yun and announced: "Yellow grade, lower grade."
The voices in the square were silent for a moment. Perhaps no one had expected that a concubine's son of the Pei family could have spiritual roots. Then they began to discuss in a low voice.
Pei Yun walked back to the Pei family's camp amidst gazes filled with envy, jealousy and disdain. This time, she was no longer hesitant or nervous, and her mind was so calm that not a single ripple appeared.
"Yun'er, come here quickly." It was the first time that his father Pei Qing called him so enthusiastically. Pei Yun laughed inwardly but did not show it on his face.
This was also the first time that the Pei family members looked at her straight in the eye. She exchanged a glance with Pei Ruo, and seeing the indifference and arrogance in her eyes, she realized that she did not take her seriously.
"Father, grandfather, uncle." Pei Yun lowered his head and said respectfully. He was about to go to Yunshan Sect, so there was no need to cause trouble.
The Pei family was extremely proud of Yunshan Sect’s selection of disciples. During the banquet, even the city lord showed his favor to the Pei family. No matter how the other families were fighting among themselves, they all went to the Pei family’s banquet to congratulate them. Three days later, two disciples of Yunshan Sect brought the selected people back to Yunshan Sect...
