Waiter, another bowl of wine!"
"Coming, honored guest!" Su Yu replied.
After delivering the wine, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh. It had been two or three years since he Transmigrated to this world, and he was now the top waiter at Xunhua Tavern in Yuntian City.
He really hadn't expected that the Transmigration stories in novels would actually happen to him.
After finishing work and returning home, he opened the door and found himself in this world. At first, he had grand ambitions, thinking he could make a big impact, but reality slapped him hard.
After experiencing many setbacks, he had settled down.
He was unremarkable on Blue Star, and he was equally unremarkable here.
Because this was a Cultivation World, where legends spoke of mighty beings moving mountains and filling seas, and stories of Ascension to become an Immortal circulated.
Yuntian City was a small Mortal city affiliated with a Cultivation School, but it was considered quite remote.
Every three years, Disciple and Elder from Immortal Sects would come down to recruit Disciples in Yuntian City. Normally, there was no way to come into contact with anything related to Cultivation.
There was only one opportunity every three years, and this year marked that three-year period.
At this moment, Su Yu returned to the tavern counter. "Shopkeeper, what would you do if an Immortal took a liking to me?"
"Haha, then I'd bask in your glory!"
Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside, followed by shouts from all directions: "The Immortals are here to recruit Disciples!"
People in the city were seen dragging their children, frantically rushing forward. Su Yu was also moved by this, and then glanced at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked at Su Yu's eager expression. "Hurry, don't miss this opportunity! If you're chosen, bring some glory to my tavern!"
Then, the shopkeeper looked at Su Yu's expression and was also moved. "I also had grand ambitions back then, but reality was not as I wished."
The shopkeeper seemed to see his own spirited appearance when he was young.
"Shopkeeper, I'm leaving!"
Su Yu looked at everything before him with a sense of reluctance. After all, everyone, from the shopkeeper to the others, had treated him very well over the past few years.
Su Yu took a deep look, then set off.
Subsequently, Su Yu followed the crowd to the Xuantian Sect's Disciple recruitment area. Su Yu was a bit shocked to see the dense crowd before him.
The Xuantian Sect had two conditions for recruiting Disciples.
First, age must be below 25 and above 8.
Unless your talent was exceptional, you had no chance if you exceeded this age.
Second, only those with Spiritual Roots were recruited, so basically everyone in Yuntian City who met the conditions had come.
Su Yu looked at an old Daoist with an Immortal-like demeanor on the stage. His goatee, it had to be said, really had style. Beside him stood two young Disciples, a male and a female.
The male was quite handsome, full of youthful vigor. The female had delicate features, fair skin, and a slender figure; in Yuntian City, she was a rare beauty.
Then, Su Yu heard the old Daoist say: "My name is Wu Cheng. I am an Outer Sect Elder of the Xuantian Sect. The two beside me are Outer Sect Disciples who came with me."
"It has been three years since the last Sect recruitment. Today, we open our mountain gate again. The old rule applies: anyone with Spiritual Roots can join our School."
Without further ado, Su Yu saw the old Daoist wave his hand, and three orbs of light appeared before them.
"You just need to place your hands on them; you should all be clear about this. Without further ado, let's begin."
The crowd quickly lined up. Su Yu, having joined the queue, couldn't help but feel a little excited, but also somewhat worried.
He worried that he didn't have a Spiritual Root. As a person from Blue Star, who didn't dream of flying on a sword?
As the testing began, the people nearby started discussing amongst themselves. He heard someone say, "Our Yuntian City hasn't had anyone with Spiritual Roots for many years. I hope there are a few this time."
"Yes, otherwise, what if the Immortals see this situation and don't come next time?"
People spoke in various ways, some even claiming that they were different from others since childhood and definitely had Spiritual Roots.
After some time had passed during the testing, there were still no individuals with Spiritual Roots, and the crowd behind them began to grow anxious.
The male on the stage looked somewhat disappointed at the situation.
"Elder Wu, it's been a while, and more than half of the tests are done, yet there isn't a single person with Spiritual Roots. This trip to this remote small city was probably in vain."
The female beside him also sighed, "Indeed."
Wu Wenshu looked at them. "In such a remote Mortal city, it's difficult for people with Spiritual Roots to appear without descendants who possess them."
"But perhaps there will be an unexpected gain. It's not over yet, so let's wait and see."
It was almost Su Yu's turn. Seeing the situation, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Just then, the orb in the center glowed, and Elder Wu Cheng on the stage showed a joyful expression. Elder Wu Cheng walked forward and took a look.
"Water-Fire Dual Spiritual Root."
Elder Wu laughed heartily. "Young man, what's your name?"
After hearing this, the young man with Water-Fire Dual Spiritual Root excitedly said, "Elder Wu, my name is Ye Lin."
"Good, good, good. Come stand behind me quickly."
At this moment, Ye Lin walked with a spirited air.
The crowd below, seeing this situation, couldn't help but stir. Finally, someone with Spiritual Roots had appeared.
After another period of time, it was finally Su Yu's turn.
At this moment, Su Yu walked onto the stage and placed his hand on it. Soon, the orb lit up.
Elder Wu also walked over and took a look. "Not bad, Gold, Wood, and Fire three-attribute Spiritual Roots. What is your name?"
Su Yu stepped back and cupped his hands. "Elder Wu, this Junior's name is Su Yu."
"Good, you can also go to the back for now. After the inspection is complete, I will take you all back to the Sect."
Su Yu then breathed a sigh of relief.
Time passed quickly, and the testing was soon completely finished.
This time, there were three people with Spiritual Roots: Ye Lin with Dual Spiritual Root, Su Yu with three Spiritual Roots, and Han Shi, who also had three Spiritual Roots.
At this moment, Su Yu and the other two were sitting on Elder Wu's flying boat.
Elder Wu walked over.
"We will arrive at the Xuantian Sect soon."
"Let me first tell you about the Sect's situation and common knowledge of Cultivation. Our Cultivation World is divided into five regions: the Southern Region, Northern Region, Spirit Region, Western Region, and Eastern Region."
"Among them, the Spirit Region is the strongest and is located at the center of the realm. The others are all quite similar. We are in the Southern Region."
"The Southern Region has eight super Sects and two Dynasties, namely the Xuantian Sect, Tianwu Sect, Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Heavenly Maiden Sect, He Huan Sect, Tianlei Temple, Mad Blade Sect, and Linghai Sect."
"As well as the Shenfeng Dynasty, Wuji Dynasty, and tens of thousands of other large and small Sects."
"All Disciples entering the Xuantian Sect start as Utility Disciples. However, those with good Spiritual Root talent are almost always noticed by a Sect Elder and taken under his wing shortly after becoming Utility Disciples."
"As long as you perform well in the Outer Sect, you can be taken in by one of the Xuantian Sect's seven Peak Masters. Becoming a Personal Disciple of a Peak Master can be considered a meteoric rise."
"Among you, I have high hopes for you, Ye Lin. Your Spiritual Roots are excellent."
Ye Lin quickly replied, "Thank you, Elder Wu, for your high regard."
Ye Lin's heart was filled with joy.
At this moment, Elder Wu turned to look at Su Yu and Han Shi.
"You two also have many opportunities, but relatively speaking, it will be a bit more difficult. Most of the Disciples in the Sect have three or four Spiritual Roots. If you want to stand out, it will depend on your own fortune."
Su Yu also wanted to have good talent, but since he was here, he would make the best of it.
At this moment, the flying boat arrived within the Xuantian Sect. Elder Wu took Su Yu and the others to the Utility Department Elder and then left.
At this moment, Su Yu's journey of Cultivation had just begun.
