Chapter 2 Is He the Reincarnation of a Great Power?

“Shi Hanchong, Rao Lingling, Mo Xiangnan, Zheng Xiangjie… Shang Jianfeng! Shang Ruyao!”

The foundation-building monk read out loudly the names of more than twenty people.

The Yanyang Sect will recruit any immortal seedling that possesses mid-grade spiritual roots and spiritual innate abilities.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden noise in the valley!

“I got it! I got it!”

The twenty or so people whose names were called were all excited.

“Woo…”

The boys and girls who were not called looked pale, unable to hide their disappointment.

Many girls even burst into tears on the spot.

Shang Ting watched nervously. Shangguan Li, Zhong Nianhua and Zhang Xiaopang were naturally among the losers.

However, among the selected candidates, Shang Jianfeng and Shang Ruyao did not look happy.

They all have middle-grade spiritual roots and are the most talented among the young men in the Shang family.

Immediately, Shang Ruyao complained in a low voice:

“I don’t want to join this sect!”

Shang Ruyao is tall, with a cold face and a hint of stubbornness at the corners of her slightly upturned lips.

At this time, a female cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage walked slowly towards them on the stage.

He looked quite kind and smiled:

“No need to be confused, are you two brother and sister?”

Seeing the foundation-building cultivator coming, Shang Jianfeng hurriedly took Shang Ruyao’s hand and bowed to him.

Shang Yangde smiled and replied:

“Master, they are twins, a boy and a girl, fifteen this year.”

Hearing this, the female cultivator who was building the foundation smiled even more brightly.

She looked at the two of them carefully, her eyes satisfied, and then said:

“Very good. I just tested your qualifications. The boy’s destiny is [Demon Slaying Sword], and the girl’s destiny is [Demon Extermination Knife]. Slaying demons and exorcising monsters, I guessed it.”

After a pause, she stretched out her hand, holding two jade slips, and said:

“My Yanyang Sect also has a pair of disciples who are born to complement each other, [Water Flows Wet] and [Fire Goes Dry]. Water is Wet and Fire is Dry. They have now achieved the foundation and are very famous!”

“This is a technique that my Yanyang Sect has developed specifically to reveal the secrets of life and destiny. I don’t think your merchants have it.”

“Why don’t you stay in my Yanyang Sect? The two of you will have much more room for development than staying in the family. If you can achieve foundation building in the future, the crisis of the family can be resolved.”

Seeing the two jade slips of martial arts techniques in her hands, the hostility in the hearts of the merchants suddenly subsided a lot.

Of the two items in the aptitude test, [Spiritual Roots] is the most important.

It is divided into five grades: heaven, upper, middle, lower and inferior.

There is no distinction between attributes. All those who practice Taoism must have all five elements, but the emphasis is different.

And the second item is [Birthday].

They are roughly divided into immortal products, spiritual products, and ordinary products.

Its function is to point out the cultivator’s destined path of cultivation!

Comprehending one’s own destiny will also endow the cultivator with various talents and supernatural powers!
The fact that this female foundation-building cultivator directly took out her rare innate skills showed her sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Shang Jianfeng and Shang Ruyao looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.

I didn’t dare to make a decision easily, so I turned to Shang Yangde.

Shang Yangde bowed and said:
“This is the most talented pair among the younger generation of my family. I dare not hand them over easily.”

“Moreover, it would be inappropriate for two children to depend on each other in a large sect like Yanyang Sect… unless someone takes care of them.”

Shang Ting and the female cultivator who was building her foundation both understood the double meanings of these words.

One is because he is concerned about the eldest disciple who has reached the Jindan stage, and the other is because he hopes to have a master.

Hearing this, the female foundation-building cultivator smiled calmly and said:

“I have heard about what happened to Senior Brother Hong. This is an emergency and I have no hostility.”

“He is a golden elixir seed, so he won’t care. Once you enter the door, the cause and effect will be resolved.”

“As for the master-disciple relationship, only after reaching the foundation building stage can one become a true disciple of the sect.”

“However… I am willing to show some kindness and take them to meet the Foundation Establishment Seniors [Water, Wetness, Fire, and Dryness]. Perhaps this will help your family’s predicament.”

Don’t care? Some mercy?
These four words made Shang Jianfeng extremely angry, and he sneered in his heart:
“This Yanyang Sect clearly accepts anyone with a mid-grade spiritual root! With our siblings’ innate ability and mid-grade spiritual roots, which sect can’t we join?!”

“This woman and this sect clearly see our potential, but they are pretending to be nice people, making it seem like we have to rely on her charity to enter the Yanyang Sect!”

“She is just pretending to be nice to her, just to make us brothers and sisters feel grateful to her!”

But on the surface, Shang Jianfeng did not show any dissatisfaction.

Instead, he smiled and said to his uncle Shang Yangde:

“Uncle… what the Immortal Master said is absolutely right.” “If we join the sect and can worship those two foundation-building monks as our teachers, it will be of great help in solving the family crisis!”

The uncle and nephew looked at each other deeply.

Shang Jianfeng then led his sister Shang Ruyao to kneel down.

He bowed respectfully to the female foundation-building cultivator and said loudly:
“Jianfeng (Ruyao), thank you so much for your guidance and teachings, Master!”

Shang Yangde looked at his nephews and nieces with great reluctance.

He turned around and bowed to the smiling female foundation-building cultivator, saying:
“Then I’ll trouble you, Immortal Master. My sword is as sharp as a jade! I will definitely show my respect to you in the future!”

“Yes!”

The Jianfeng Ruyao siblings stood up. The female foundation-building cultivator was quite satisfied and nodded repeatedly with a smile.

With a wave of his sleeves, he flew into the mountain gate with the two of them.

“The auspicious omen has indeed come true.”

Shang Ting said in his heart.

Although the brother and sister were unwilling in their hearts, their fate showed that this was actually a rare opportunity for them.

“All immortal seedlings leave immediately and go to other places to seek immortal fate…”

A huge voice was heard in the valley.

Soon, many guards and reception monks from Yanyang Sect came over and half-led and half-pushed everyone down the valley.

At this time, Shang Ting looked at the young man named Zhong Nianhua.

He was following the crowd, talking in a low voice with Zhang Xiaopang, walking down the mountain step by step with a lost look on his face.

He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, of ordinary appearance, wearing a short coarse cloth coat, and seemed to be from a farming family.

He doesn’t look like a man of luck at all.

“This kid’s true destiny is the Little Green Bottle… He is actually a monk with great luck!?”

Shang Ting looked up at Zhong Nianhua’s head, wanting to confirm:
“The skill of peeping at luck!”

The next moment, the magnificent scene of destiny appeared again in Shang Ting’s eyes!
Above Zhong Nianhua’s head, dense and auspicious clouds covered the sky and the sun!

There are also thousands of wisps of purple air coming from the east, which is magnificent!

And that grand fortune with a myriad of colorful flowers eventually turned into a vibrant vegetable garden with spring in the air!
In the vegetable garden, a small green bottle was buried shallowly in the soil…

“I can’t watch this anymore!”

Even though Shang Ting had experienced six hundred years, he was still shocked at this moment and immediately stopped the fortune-seeing technique!

The fortune of such a great man cannot be peeped into at will.

Shang Ting had a feeling that if he continued reading, he would lose something important.

This could not help but shock Shang Ting, thinking:
“What kind of divine power and great fortune is this, to be so terrifying!?”

In his previous life, when he was in the late stage of Jindan cultivation, he had also glimpsed the fortunes of many Yuanying masters.

But I have never seen such a vast sight!

Who is this person? Is he the reincarnation of an immortal?
Shang Ting’s heart was filled with excitement. He and his family must not miss out on such a lucky son!

Then he turned to look at another girl whose destiny manifested as the mythical beast [Luanfeng], Shangguan Li.

She was wearing a light blue long skirt with elegant orchids embroidered on the corners, and her figure was graceful.

Looking at her appearance again, her hair is as black as ink and her facial features are as delicate as a painting.

Shang Ting felt hot in his heart.

Its true destiny is the immortal phoenix!
A symbol of good fortune, love and loyalty.

Such a woman not only brings good fortune to herself, but also to her husband.

Prosperity wherever you go!

“Ugh”

Shang Yangde, who was leading the way, was still sighing with regret:

“I haven’t obtained the foundation-building pill yet, and I’ve also lost two potential seeds. How can I face the head of the family and the elders?”

As he said this, he beat his chest and slapped himself in the face!
“uncle!”

Suddenly, Shang Ting’s hand grabbed his wrist.

Shang Yangde looked at Shang Ting and was immediately shocked by Shang Ting’s excited eyes!
“Xiaoting, don’t talk nonsense, the monks from Yanyang Sect just left!”

“Do not.”

Shang Ting shook his head slowly and said with a smile:
“Uncle, didn’t you say that Jian Feng Ruyao was lost? I have a way to make up for the loss.”

Shang Yangde was stunned: “What method?”

Shang Ting looked at the eliminated immortal seedlings on the road, pointed at Shangguan Li and others, and said with a smile:

“Why don’t we recruit these talented female immortals to be our family’s wives?”
