Chapter 736: Chapter 555 The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain Acknowledges_2

He had once tried to have ordinary people without innate talent practice cultivation, but in the end, it turned out to be a waste of time; they were better off living well in the days ahead, as cultivation was simply not suitable for them.

"Hmm, the aptitude is quite decent. Stay by my side, next—."

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain’s left hand touched Lu Feng’s celestial spirit cover, and he immediately sensed what he wanted to feel. Glancing around the Mountain God Temple, there were only a few children left.

And the next one was Su Yue.

Su Yue was almost dying of nervousness, being one of the few girls here, while the boy looked at her with some curiosity, at the child who was about her age.

"Hmm, not bad in terms of aptitude, stay by my side as well!"

The eyes of the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain brightened, seemingly very satisfied, but another matter was greatly troubling him—that if there were any with exceptional exorcist aptitude, who would be the Hidden Dragon.

After discovering two consecutively, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain thought it was heaven’s blessing, but afterward, no such beings appeared again.

In the end, only Wang Yang stood alone in his original spot.

While the other children couldn’t wait to finish, only Wang Yang stood at the end, completely unhurried, and the fluctuation of nature’s spiritual energy from the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain a moment ago naturally did not escape his eyes.

His biggest worry was now gone, so naturally, he could accept things calmly.

"Hmm? What kind of constitution is this, so bizarre?"

The hand of the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain rested on Wang Yang’s celestial spirit cover, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy made him frown.

Just now, his True Qi had circulated within Wang Yang’s body and discovered that all of Wang Yang’s meridians were open, and there was not a single impurity throughout his body.

Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Qi within Wang Yang’s Dantian was almost solidified into substance. Even the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, who had seen much and knew much, had never seen such a peculiar constitution.

Furthermore, the True Qi that returned to him was much reduced. The True Qi that flowed back was almost all impurities, meaning the essence within it had been absorbed by Wang Yang’s bizarre constitution.

Wang Yang’s constitution could almost be considered top-notch. However, the spiritual energy that made its way to the Dantian would solidify, as if dead.

Spiritual Energy itself carries the character for ’spirit,’ ostensibly representing an extremely lively existence, but the Spiritual Energy within Wang Yang’s body was like dead energy.

At this moment, Wang Yang felt a stream of nature’s spiritual energy wander through his body, and soon his Dantian autonomously absorbed it. He was taken aback as he had not controlled the absorption of spiritual energy.

After the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain absorbed it, he furrowed his brows and showed no further reaction, while Wang Yang, being so close to him, only heard his mutterings.

At this moment, Wang Yang also started to grow anxious, not knowing whether his constitution would be accepted by the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain.

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain was deep in contemplation.

Wang Yang’s ability to absorb spiritual energy was undoubtedly very strong and might even have a purifying effect. Most strangely, his constitution could plunder possessed True Qi.

This left the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain utterly puzzled. Over many years, he had never heard of such a bizarre occurrence, and he began to question himself.

Wang Yang carefully watched the facial expressions of the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, feeling what seemed like the True Person’s dilemma. At this moment, Lu Feng’s gaze was somewhat astonished on the side.

The other children were inspected in just an instant, even if for him it was just a touch of the hand, but the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain had stood in front of Wang Yang for almost a quarter of an hour.

For some reason, Lu Feng didn’t like Wang Yang, or to put it another way, there was a quality about him that he found extremely distasteful, although he couldn’t articulate why.

"You stay as well!"

Without a word, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain finally decided to keep Wang Yang. After all, a Hidden Dragon was emerging, and perhaps that Hidden Dragon was Wang Yang, just not yet at the time to rise.

"Yes."

Wang Yang felt a surge of joy in his heart—he had passed this hurdle, and the next steps would naturally be much simpler. The only thing he didn’t understand was why the nature’s spiritual energy within him seemed quite different from theirs.

He felt it, although the spiritual energy of the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, having undergone Refinement, might be called Mana, Inner Strength, or something similar in this world, its essence remained unchanged.

The spiritual energy of the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain was extremely weak and dispersed, like a cloud, and Wang Yang could feel that this was not due to the characteristics of the True Person’s cultivation technique but because the structure was very scattered.

It was even weaker than the spiritual energy cultivated by some little demons in the Primordial Continent, which made Wang Yang feel quite uneasy, and he suspected that this was due to the cultivation techniques of this world.

Such cultivation techniques did not seem to emphasize slaughter but were meant for the path of longevity, yet they lost their sharpness. However, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain was an exorcist, and in this world, he should be someone who must master the way of exorcism.

His spiritual energy was so mixed and loose that in the Primordial Continent, anything with the power to devour would be able to completely drain the True Person’s spiritual energy in an instant.

Soon, the words of the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain pulled his thoughts back to reality.

"This year is lucky; there are three with the qualifications," the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain said to the villagers, and those children who were not selected naturally looked at Wang Yang and the other two with envy.

Among those villagers, Wang Yang felt a sharp look scrape across his face, and looking in that direction, if he remembered correctly, it should be Lu Feng’s father.

Earlier today at the village entrance, Wang Yang had seen Lu Feng’s father with Lu Feng, and what made Wang Yang feel strange was that this Lu Hai’s gaze toward him was very peculiar.

It made him very uncomfortable, as if he were prey, and it even carried a bit of fear, although the fearful expression was fleeting,

he still caught it.

Wang Yang naturally found it strange why Lu Hai would be afraid of him, but such emotions only appeared after he was selected.

"We will leave early tomorrow morning. Today, you should say your goodbyes with your parents!"

"This departure could be as short as ten years or as long as over a hundred years before you can return!"

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain directly stated what they might face in the future, and Su Yue’s face was full of reluctance as she suddenly ran out and threw herself into Su Ding’s arms.

Wang Yang saw that Su Yue’s eyes were red, seemingly having cried.

Lu Feng, on the other hand, was much calmer, simply walking back to Lu Hai slowly.

Lu Hai’s gaze was no longer on Lu Feng, and after giving Wang Yang a deep look, he left, while the villagers did not extend many invitations to the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain.

Because many years ago, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain had already stated that he had reached the stage of abstaining from food and did not need warm hospitality.

In the end, only Wang Yang stood alone on the spot, the remaining curious boys staring at him.

The True Person of Qingcheng Mountain was somewhat surprised by this scene; when he first saw Wang Yang, he was following Su Ding, so he assumed Wang Yang was Su Ding’s son.

And Su Ding, the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain was also not unfamiliar with him, though it had been many years since they met, but that face indeed resembled an old friend from days past.

"Do you have a formal name? What is it?" asked the True Person of Qingcheng Mountain; the children in the mountains almost all had nicknames, and only a few had formal names, which were usually given to children over twelve years old.

"Wang Yang," Wang Yang said with a face devoid of any expression, appearing to be a very cold-hearted person. In fact, it was fitting for his current situation.

After all, Wang Yang had just lost his uncle, and in this world, they would all assume he was in mourning. Wang Yang couldn’t appear too relaxed,

or else he could easily garner a reputation for being unfilial.

Mainly, Wang Yang knew that Wu Mo went with Qin Han and could not be in danger, so he naturally felt at ease.

Although the situation in the Underworld was unknown, from Qin Han’s perspective, the Underworld should have the existence of figures like Yama; since there were official positions, there naturally would be rules.

It probably wouldn’t be too chaotic, certainly better than staying in Qingcheng Mountain Village. He knew that Wu Mo had entered the City of Unjust Death and had been deliberately harmed by someone.

Now, Wang Yang’s first suspect was Lu Hai, especially after seeing the change in his gaze’s emotion, which could not help but make Wang Yang suspect that Lu Hai was the murderer.
