Chapter 336: Bone Age Test
The three of them were surrounded by spiritual energy, especially the young woman. When she stood in front of everyone, they all had the urge to bow down and worship her.
The young woman looked at the crowd. When she saw Yue Ying in the crowd, her eyes lit up and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
"Yue Ying, you have finally come!" The young woman said very amiably.
The Eldest Miss quickly took a step forward and slightly bowed. She respectfully said, "Many thanks for Senior"s care and concern. This humble girl has missed our appointment before, please forgive me!"
The young woman laughed and said, "Three years ago, I gave you an invitation to join my Dragon Immortal Sect. You missed three years of the golden cultivation period in vain because of your sisterhood. It can be seen that you are a loyal person so how could I take offense?"
"There are not many people like you in this world anymore. Although it is a pity that you have missed out on a bit of time, it"s also proof of your character. I"ll still say the same phrase from three years ago, are you willing to take me as your master?" The young woman"s words caused a commotion among the crowd. They all knew about the young woman"s ident.i.ty. She was a high and mighty existence!
"Senior Meng did not abandon me for the past three years. You have been helping me all these times secretly, if not for my sister, I would have come here long ago."
Taking a long breath, Yue Ying again said, "Yue Ying pays her respects to Master." With that, the Eldest Miss slowly knelt down to pay her respects.
With a flash, the beautiful young woman came to Yue Ying"s side and gently helped her up and said amiably: "Quickly get up. In the future when you will cultivate, I, your master will definitely put all of my abilities to nurture you!"
"Thank you, Master!" Yue Ying slowly stood up and said.
"Eldest Miss, you are not going to leave your family are you?" Ye Xiao looked at the Eldest Miss with a strange expression and asked.
The Eldest Miss blushed and shouted angrily, "You can"t speak such nonsense here, in the presence of my master!"
"Oh! You mean I can speak like this in the absence of your master?" Ye Xiao suddenly said something that made Yue Ying even more embarra.s.sed.
At this time, Yue Ying"s master finally noticed Ye Xiao who was standing next to Yue Ying. She could not help but suddenly exclaim with an astonished expression after looking at Ye Xiao, "What a strong body!"
Then, she shook his head regretfully: "It is a pity that his Small World has been destroyed. Yue Ying, is this one of your subordinates whom you have chosen?"
"Yes, Master!" The Eldest Miss answered hastily.
The young woman looked at Ye Xiao and the others then shook her head and said, "The people you have chosen are all really weak. This is not good for you?"
The eldest young miss said, "Although their cultivation isn"t the best, their character is trustworthy!"
The young woman was surprised for a moment when she heard this but soon she came to a realization. She sighed and said, "You... Forget it. Since you"ve decided, I won"t force you?"
The young woman held the hand of Yue Ying and walked out of the crowd, and said to the people below, "Many of you might not know me. Let me introduce myself. I am Shang Xianyue and also the vice Master of the Dragon Immortal Sect."
Hearing that, Ye Xiao"s heart skipped a beat. No wonder so many people exclaimed when they saw the young woman coming. So it turned out that the Eldest Miss"s master had such a great status and background.
He could not help but feel joy in his heart. With such a great backer, Yue Ying"s future should be very good.
Shang Xianyue paused for a while before continuing, "Next up is the bone age test for all the core disciples."
Ye Xiao was slightly shocked when he heard this and muttered in a very low voice, "Bone age?"
The test began. There was a huge boulder at the stage and everyone had to place their hands on it before the result would be announced to the public.
This was one of many methods to check the bone age.
Soon, the result started to announce.
"Xu Ming, bone age: 47!"
"Zhao Fei, bone age: 42!"
What made Ye Xiao a little surprised was that these people were all very young. They were not even a hundred years old and they had all reached the Immortal Lord Realm. No wonder they were chosen as the core disciples of the Dragon Immortal Sect this time.
"Li Qi, bone age: 37"
"Gong Tian, bone age: 35!"
Gong Tian looked at the numbers displayed on the huge boulder and glanced at everyone with a bit of pride. He was the youngest one among all of them who had already gone through the bone age test.
Another group of people went forward for the bone age test but no one was younger than Gong Tian.
This made Gong Tian feel proud of himself even more. He thought that no one here was younger than him. He has the strongest talent for cultivation.
"Yue Ying, you should head over as well. Even though you are already my disciple, this process is still necessary!" Shang Xianyue said as she pulled Yue Ying and told her to go through the bone age test.
Yue Ying nodded her head and walked to the front of the huge boulder. She extended one of her hands and placed it on the huge boulder.
Everyone looked at her pure white hand and all of the men"s hearts trembled. Even as Immortal Lord Realm experts, they had never seen such a perfect hand before.
Ye Xiao also looked at her jade hands and thought back to the flawless beauty he had seen in the past. He silently sighed in his heart. The beauty of the Eldest Miss was probably compared to Xue Xiaofei.
"Yue Ying, bone age: 27!"
The voice of the old man who was drunk made everyone go into an uproar. There were a total of 48 core disciples present and they were all the strongest experts from 48 different regions.
The Immortal Star Realm was vast and limitless. Yue Ying"s name was not well-known before and not many people knew her. But the number in front of them shocked everyone.
Because Ye Xiao had heard Yue Ying"s conversation with Shang Xianyue previously, he knew that Yue Ying was already delayed by three years because of taking care of her little sister.
Doesn"t that mean that Yue Ying had already received an invitation from the Dragon Immortal Sect when she was only twenty-four?
One had to know that the age was not all that determined the Dragon Immortal Sect to recruit disciples. One still had to look at various factors such as apt.i.tude, comprehension ability, and perseverance, etc.
That was why the saying "Dragon Immortal Sect does not raise useless people" came to being. This also indicated that the Dragon Immortal Sect was only for the strong people.
No one could utter a sound for a long time. Only Shang Xianyue looked at Yue Ying with a big smile on her face.
Gong Tian also looked at Yue Ying with a face full of shock. His eyes were burning with pa.s.sion. He had to chase after this kind of woman no matter what.
"Alright, Core disciples" registration is complete. Next, you all come one by one and take the test." Another old man with a pair of eye-catching ears glanced at the crowd and said before taking out a record book.
The following sequence was the same as that of the previous core disciples. However, there was a huge difference between them and the core disciples. Not only were their cultivations lower by one whole level but they were also around 80 to 90 years old.
Ye Xiao could not help but sigh with emotion. In the Lower Realm, these people would have already become old men but here, on the Upper Realm, these people with age of 80 to 90 years were actually called youths.
Well, he also knew that the stronger the cultivators are, the longer their lifespan would be.
"Brother Gong, guess what the age of that kid"s bones is?" Li Qi suddenly asked as he looked bored.
"What does the age of his bones have to do with us? Gong Tian said.
"Don"t! Isn"t this too boring? It"s just a casual bet. Let"s see who can guess correctly?" Li Qi said.
"Alright, since Brother Li is interested, let"s make a bet. Let"s see who can guess the answer closer to his actual age. How about we bet on a Low-Grade Immortal Weapon?" Gong Tian said indifferently.
"Haha, as expected brother Gong, you are extremely rich. This little brother will also bet a Low-Grade Immortal Weapon!" Li Qi laughed.
