However, he did have the capital to be arrogant. As soon as he put his hand on the spirit stone, a dazzling light burst out. The colors of khaki and gold intersected and shone dazzlingly. The khaki light, which was not conspicuous to begin with, was not at all covered by the golden color. Instead, the two intertwined to form an extremely noble color.

"Chen Xu! Double spiritual roots of gold and earth of the highest grade!"

Upon hearing the result, the children from the aristocratic families below were in an uproar.

"I didn't expect the Chen family to be so good at hiding it."

"Yes, the Chen family has announced to the public that Chen Xu is a mid-grade dual spiritual root."

"No wonder the Chen family dotes on this young master so much."

……

There was constant discussion below. Although the sect leaders and elders above were not that surprised, they nodded in satisfaction to Chen Xu.

"Yes, he is the one with the highest talent at present. He has dual spiritual roots of gold and earth, which is very suitable for our Xuanling Sect. Is Mr. Chen willing to come to our Xuanling Sect?" said an elder of Xuanling Sect.

"This spiritual root is obviously more suitable for sword cultivation! If Mr. Chen comes to our Ask Sword Peak, I will accept you as my last disciple." An Zhengyuan said.

Yun Rao also interrupted at this time and said, "In fact, it is not impossible for us in Yunzhong Pavilion to make an exception for him. If little brother joins our Yunzhong Pavilion, then I will accept you as my personal disciple."

She smiled in a charming manner, which made Chen Xu lower his head in embarrassment, and his exposed ears were red as if bleeding.

"Bang!" The sound of a coffee table breaking was heard.

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, I saw that Xuanling Sect's leader Lie Yan's hand was still above the broken coffee table.

"Why are a bunch of water spiritual root cultivators from your Yunzhong Pavilion getting involved? This kid is obviously more suitable for our Xuanling Sect!" Lie Yan has a bad temper. It's fine if Jian Feng gets involved, but why are Yunzhong Pavilion meddling in this?

"What? You've always interfered with my promising disciples. Are the officials allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps?" Yun Rao did not give in at all.

The two of them had been holding grudges for a long time. Lie Yan looked down on Yunzhong Pavilion for relying on marriage to consolidate its position in the cultivation world, while Yun Rao looked down on Xuanling Sect for being a group of simple-minded rough men who only knew how to forge iron.

"Pavilion Master Yun's behavior is understandable. Sect Master Lie, please don't be angry. If you are in trouble, you can come to our Xinghua Tower. If you come, you will be my direct disciple." Xunhua still looked honest.

Yun Rao, Lie Yan: “…” Looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn’t expect that you are not honest!

The various sect leaders and elders above were arguing about Chen Xu's affiliation, but Chen Xu was enjoying the feeling of being praised by everyone. At the same time, he did not forget to look at Lin Hao with full pride, as if showing off.

Lin Hao didn't care about this. At the same time, he also remembered that Chen Xu was a cannon fodder in the original book.

In the original novel, the male protagonist saw Chen Xu, who was the center of attention, and lowered his head in inferiority. Chen Xu happened to see him and looked down on him.

However, he didn't expect that when the spiritual roots were tested, Chen Xu would also be fought over like he is now. But he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face so quickly. When it was the male protagonist's turn, a mutated thunder-type spiritual root was tested, which caused a more intense fight among the sect masters and elders. From then on, Chen Xu and the male protagonist were completely in conflict.

Looking at Chen Xu's provocative eyes, Lin Hao just wanted to say one thing: why should the cannon fodder make things difficult for the tool man?

Seeing that Lin Hao did not feel inferior at all, but instead looked at him with pity, it was this look that annoyed Chen Xu. However, as everyone's eyes were on him, he could not get angry and had to hold it in.

But he was thinking in his heart that he would definitely teach this brat a lesson after the disciple-recruiting conference was over!

The people above were still arguing about Chen Xu's affiliation.

Seeing that the commotion was getting worse, Ling Wen said, "Since everyone wants to take him in as a disciple, let's ask Chen Xiaoyou for his opinion. Chen Xiaoyou, is there a master among them that you would like to worship?"

Chen Xu bowed respectfully, not showing any arrogance in front of Lin Hao. He said in a well-behaved manner, "Junior wants to become a disciple of Master Ling of the Wandao Sect."

Chen Xu knew from a young age that he was extremely talented, which also led to his arrogant character, and he always strived for the best in everything.

The people with the highest cultivation levels in the cultivation world right now are Ling Wen, the leader of the Wandao Sect, Nangong Yejin, the leader of the Tianji Pavilion, and the Immortal Venerable Nanyou.

Tianji Pavilion has always accepted disciples based on fate, and Chen Xu has no interest in fortune-telling or astrology.

The Immortal Master Nanyou never accepts disciples easily, and the two disciples he has currently accepted both have natural spiritual roots, so it is impossible for them to be interested in him, who has high-grade spiritual roots.

So he set his sights on Ling Wen.

Here it is, there is also such a passage in the original novel. But Ling Wen refused, so Chen Xu had to settle for the next best thing and become a disciple of An Zhengyuan of Wenjian Peak. But unexpectedly, Ling Wen accepted the male protagonist as his disciple in the end, which also laid the groundwork for the two to not get along.

"I'm sorry, my dear Chen, I don't have any plans to accept another disciple for the time being. You can consider someone else." Ling Wen's answer was exactly the same as in the book.

When the people above heard that Chen Xu wanted to take Ling Wen as his master, they felt that it was a pity to miss this good seedling. But when they heard that Ling Wen did not plan to accept a disciple, they felt that there was still a possibility of bringing this good seedling to their side.

After hearing the result, Chen Xu was disappointed but also somewhat surprised. Ever since the second disciple of the leader of Wandao Sect died in Xumi Realm more than a hundred years ago, he has never accepted any disciples again.

"My dear Chen, since that old man won't accept you, why don't you come to our Yunzhong Pavilion?" Yun Rao said to Chen Xu with a charming smile.

Chen Xu ignored Yun Rao and turned to look at An Zhengyuan, the head of Wenjian Peak, and said, "I want to take Master An as my teacher."

Yun Rao saw clearly the disdain in Chen Xu's eyes when he turned his head, and a surge of anger surged in her heart. After all, she was a great power in the Void Refining Realm, but now she was mocked by a kid who was less than ten years old. If she didn't show her power, did he really think she was easy to bully?

An Zhengyuan didn't notice these things. He was a sword fanatic and couldn't understand these twists and turns. Now that he saw this extremely talented friend willing to become his disciple, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!" Chen Xu took out a storage ring and took it. "From today on, you will be my, An Zhengyuan's, last disciple! The Jade Shadow Sword in this storage ring was my sword when I was young. Now I give it to you as a gift."

Chen Xu took it with great joy, not because the sword was so precious, but the whole cultivation world knew that An Zhengyuan was a sword fanatic. The fact that he asked him to give away his former sword was enough to show how much he valued this last disciple.

Yun Rao, who was originally thinking about revenge: "..."

Forget it. Why should I, a person in the Void Refinement Realm, bother with a little kid?

After receiving the apprenticeship gift, Chen Xu retreated to the waiting position below. As soon as he blended into the crowd, those children from aristocratic families who were usually on good or bad terms with him all cast friendly glances at him.

While enjoying the envious and jealous gazes, Chen Xu did not forget to look towards Lin Hao.

Looking at the remaining three people, his eyes were full of contempt. The remaining three people were from the mortal world. Chen Xu was now full of superiority. What if he passed the level? Wouldn't he still have to live under the aura of his genius?

Ling Wen's eldest disciple Shi Tingfeng saw that this was over and then shouted, "Wu Xinyi!"

The only girl among the three stepped forward. Although she was a girl, she was resolute and calm.
