nZhu Dali nervously looked at Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao, who was in the middle of the spectator stand.

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao squinted his eyes slightly, stroked his beard, glanced at Zhu Dali, and then said, “Elders, if any of you fancy this disciple, take him in as your disciple.”

nA regretful look appeared on Zhu Dali’s face upon hearing that, but then he adjusted his expression.

nHe naturally wanted to become Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s disciple as a disciple of the Baiyun Sect.

nThat was almost universally acknowledged.

nHe could only become a disciple of another elder if Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao did not take a fancy to him.

nZhu Dali naturally felt regretful about the fact that Master Yunxiao did not take a fancy to him.

nBut he did not dare to show the regretful look on his face. Otherwise, it would mean that he was not willing to become a disciple of another elder.

nZhu Dali naturally would not do such a thing that offended others.

nVery soon, an elder suggested that he was willing to accept Zhu Dali as an inner disciple and asked if he was willing to join him.

nOf course, every disciple would say yes to such a question.

nWhoever said that he was not willing would offend others.

nMoreover, it was not bad even if he could only become a disciple of an elder.

nMost of the people would be overjoyed even with that.

nZhu Dali naturally replied that he was willing.

nThen, the eldest disciple behind the elder took Zhu Dali to them.

nThe others were more relaxed now that Zhu Dali had started the test.

nThe test continued.

n…

nEveryone’s details were recorded.

nThe elders would look at the details in their hands after the name of a disciple was reported.

nThe results of the entrance test would be recorded if it was a new disciple who entered the sect this year.

nThe results of the cultivation for the year would be recorded if it was an old disciple who had taken the examination before.

nIn short, the elders looked at the details and had estimated the results before every disciple performed the Baiyun mantra.

nThe examination was still going on in an orderly manner.

nHowever, the elders had already decided in their hearts before most of the disciples performed their Baiyun mantra.

nAs for Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao, he had already considered whether or not to accept this disciple before the disciple even performed the Baiyun mantra.

nOf course, some people performed exceptionally well, which could make the elders’ eyes light up.

nNormally, a few elders would fight over such disciples.

nBut in the end, all of them were taken away by Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao.

nAnd some people performed abnormally.

nThey could have passed, but they could not pass the test because of nervousness or discomfort.

nThe elders could not be lenient for such disciples. It would be unfair.

nThey could only let them take the test again next year.

nPeople who cultivated the Dao would live much longer than mere mortals.

nAfter all, the Baiyun mantra itself had the effect of prolonging one’s life.

nTherefore, a year would not have much effect on the disciples’ cultivation.

nAt the same time, it could also test the temperament of these failed disciples.

nThey would most likely not achieve much in the inner sect if they were unwilling to endure for a year.

nTherefore, the test could be considered quite strict in that aspect.

n…

nOne disciple after another completed the test. Some were happy, while others were worried.

nSoon, all the old disciples had completed the test.

nThe only ones left were the new disciples who had just entered the Baiyun Sect the day before.

n“Zhang Wu.”

n“Your disciple is here!”

nZhang Wu was naturally the first to undergo the test as the disciple with the most aptitude in that batch.

nYou Yilin could not help but introduce a few more sentences.

n“Junior Zhang Wu seems to have a good aptitude.”

n“His result in the entrance test was quite outstanding.”

nYou Yilin did not seem to hold a grudge against the arrogant words he heard last night. Instead, he spoke a few words of praise fairly.

nThat was also one of the methods You Yilin used to win people’s hearts.

nAfter all, he would most likely become the sect master of the Baiyun sect in the future. It was important for him to establish an image.

nAs expected, the few disciples who lived in the same room as Zhang Wu immediately admired You Yilin.

nThe few elders on the spectator stage who heard You Yilin’s introduction also nodded slightly.

nOne’s aptitude was crucial in cultivations.

nSome people had difficulty achieving anything if their aptitude wasn’t good even though they worked very hard.

nSome people with good aptitude could easily reach a realm that others could not reach, even if they worked hard for a lifetime.

nThe reality was always cruel.

nZhang Wu had obtained a good impression in front of the elders.

nHowever, Zhang Wu only treated these as the result of his good aptitude and not because of You Yilin’s praise.

nHe did not take You Yilin’s kind words to heart at all.

nOf course, he didn’t show any of these. He only bowed respectfully.

n“Zhang Wu, please perform your Baiyun mantra!”

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao looked at the new disciple and said with a smile.

nZhang Wu immediately made a decent gesture with his sword finger and began to chant after he responded.

nAlthough it was his first time using it, he seemed familiar with it like those old disciples.

nSeveral elders nodded their heads repeatedly upon seeing that scene.

n“This child is a seedling that can be nurtured,” one of the elders said softly.

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao also nodded slightly and said with a smile,

n“Indeed. I am satisfied with this disciple too.

n“Although he can’t compare to Yilin, he is still a talent.”

n“He will become a talent in the future with a little tutor.”

nThe evaluation from Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was considered high.

nAlthough the other elders expressed their agreement, they also cursed silently in their hearts.

nIt seemed that this talented young man would be snatched away by that old fox, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao.

nZhang Wu finished reciting the chant.

nFollowing that, the disciples at the scene were in an uproar.

nThey saw that Zhang Wu’s right hand was gradually emitting a bright white light.

nHe was almost as good as Senior You Yilin!

nZhang Wu was still a newcomer!

nAlthough everyone could guess that You Yilin was still holding back.

nAfter all, it was just a demonstration. There was no need to use his full strength.

nHowever, Zhang Wu was already amazing enough that he was able to do that.

nThe previous few old disciples only gave off a dim light.

nMoreover, the old disciples had to go through a year or even a few years of cultivation before they could barely pass.

nEven the old disciples could not achieve such a level, but Zhang Wu could!

nZhang Wu was somewhat in the limelight at the moment. He was in the limelight among the new disciples.

nHe became famous in one act, and his reputation soared!

nA drop of sweat oozed out from Zhang Wu’s forehead. Zhang Wu hurriedly put away the Baiyun mantra and bowed slightly, “Disciple Zhang Wu is not talented and is here to embarrass himself. Please give me some pointers, masters.”

nEven You Yi Lin nodded secretly upon seeing that.

nAnyone smart could see that Zhang Wu had reached his limit just now.

nHe would probably lose his reputation there if he lost himself in a moment of complacency and forcefully maintain it.

nZhang Wu knew how to stop at the right time. He was considered smart to be able to do so.

nYou Yilin had already made up his mind to properly nurture that junior of his at that moment.

nIt could also be considered as him trying to win over the hearts of the people.

nDaoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao looked at Zhang Wu with an appreciative gaze and asked kindly, “Zhang Wu, are you willing to be my disciple?”
