Fantasy: I Can See The Investment Return

Chapter 22 How Much Salary Do You Want?

How Much Salary Do You Want?

This round, five out of 100 people were eliminated.

Although the disciple with the water and wood double spiritual roots had mediocre

performance in terms of meridians, he was still called out by the First Elder for a private talk because of his outstanding spiritual roots.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear promises like doubling his monthly salary.

This honor made many people envious, and they all looked forward to being like this person in the assessment later, being a little stunned.

However…

The ideal was great, but the reality was cruel. In the next dozen or so rounds of assessment. Not to mention someone who could surpass that disciple, there wasnot even anyone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Talent is the privilege of the minority. This saying is indeed true.

Nan Shan’s eyes were deep.

Among mortals, the probability of finding someone who could cultivate was one in ten thousand and extremely rare.

Who would have thought that talented people were even rarer!

The vast majority of people only had one type of spirit root out of the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

There were already more than a thousand people on the stage.

There was only one person who possessed dual-element spirit roots.

As for the rarer Tri-elemental spiritual roots, or even the four-elemental spiritual roots, or the extremely rare mutated elemental spiritual roots such as ice and lightning, there was not a single one!

In other words, that disciple with double spiritual roots was already one in ten million people?

It was a little terrifying.

With such a low probability, who wouldnot be afraid?

“Next group!”

The First Elder’s deep voice rang out once

again.

Nan Shan took a deep breath and strode into the arena.

It was finally his turn.

After waiting for so long, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous at all.

At the last moment, he finally realized how much pressure it was to show off in front of so many people.

This was especially so when there were sect

elders present.

Of course, the main reason was that he was not

confident.

Nan Shan himself did not know what his spirit root was.

It had never been tested before.

If he slipped up, would the ‘genius’ image in Jiang Congshuang’s heart be destroyed?

Would the investment fail?

This was what he was most worried about.

“Begin!”

The First Elder ordered.

All the disciples present seized the opportunity

and pressed their hands on the spirit stones at the same time.

As the spiritual Qi circulated, the moment it touched the spirit stone…

A faint luster lit up.

In an instant, a disciple in the corner attracted everyone’s attention.

“Another dual element spirit root!”

“So strong! The spirit stone is already half lit

up!”

“Oh my God, we’ve finally seen a miracle this round. I thought there wouldn’t be a single outstanding disciple in the Reliance Sect’s assessment this year.”

“Just now, that person with double spiritual

roots was able to receive double the monthly salary, so this person should have triple,

right?”

“At least five times! Don’t underestimate the difference in meridians. The higher your

cultivation level, the greater the difference!” There was a lot of discussion in the stands, and

it became active all of a sudden.

In the middle, several elders also laughed in

unison.

To be able to produce such a disciple with such

potential in one batch, it could be considered that they had led the Outer Sect well. Jiang Congshuang’s expression was still calm, and her eyes were fixed on Nan Shan.

A few seconds passed, and half of the trial’s time had passed. It was almost over.

He hadnot made a move yet, but he seemed to

be in a dilemma.

“This is… Don’t you want to be too flamboyant?”

Jiang Congshuang guessed subconsciously. However, if that happened, the sect would treat

it as a forfeit and would not give him another

chance. Just as she was thinking about whether she

should open her mouth to remind him…

Suddenly, she saw Nan Shan move.

He seemed to have made up his mind.

The veins on his palm, which was placed on the

energy stone, popped out as he used all his

strength.

The next second.

A five-colored light swept out and shot up to

the nine Heavens!

|| 11

…

Jiang Congshuang was shocked.

“F*ck!”

The tens of thousands of disciples on the grandstand shouted in unison. They were all shocked and cussed at the same time.

“What!”

The elders all stood up in shock. They stared at the scene with wide eyes, unable

to speak for a long time.

Immediately after, the energy stones that were covered in light trembled violently.

BOOM!

It exploded!

The stone powder splattered and covered Nan

Shan’s face.

He looked down at his empty palm, then looked up at the stands, somewhat at a loss. The energy stone exploded… How did this

count?

The stands were dead silent, as if they had seen

a ghost. “It’s actually a five-element spirit Meridian!”

The First Elder was the first to recover from his

shock and could not help but exclaim. “Five elemental spiritual meridians?” Jiang Congshuang murmured. She was so

shocked that her heart skipped a beat. She had heard of this saying before. No, she had read about it in ancient books.

Ordinary cultivators only had one type of spiritual root and only one attribute. When they cultivated, they paid attention to the mutual promotion and restraint.

For example, cultivators with wood-elemental spiritual roots would usually only practice water-elemental and wood-elemental cultivation techniques.

Because their attributes were compatible, it was twice as easy to cultivate.

On the other hand, if one cultivated a fire-elemental cultivation technique that restrained one’s attribute, one’s progress

would be slow, and one’s cultivation might even regress!

However, the five-element spirit meridians didnot have such a problem.

He could cultivate any cultivation technique.

The nature of his spiritual energy could be changed at any time.

When facing any enemy, it could achieve absolute flexibility.

Jiang Congshuang’s eyes sparkled. She had already held a very high esteem of Nan

Shan’s talent and felt that no one would be

better than him among this batch of in-name disciples.

It was true that no one could compare to him,

but his talent was far higher than she had imagined!

The First Elder did not expect that this round of assessment would actually produce such a

monstrous talent.

After thinking for a while, he decided to

maintain order in the field area and let the assessment continue.

No. 9 and No. 16 are not up to the standard.

Please leave. The rest of the disciples can enter the Outer Sect. As for No. 2…

A warm smile appeared on the First Elder’s

face, “What’s your name? “

Nan Shan cupped his hands and bowed. “Disciple Nan Shan!”

“Good, good, good.” The First Elder laughed heartily. “Come forward and talk to me.”

Nan Shan took two steps and came near the

stands, where he continued to cup his hands and bow.

“Come up closer.”

The First Elder patted the empty seat beside

him, as if he wanted him to sit next to him.

Nan Shan felt a little scared. He did not know

what this elder wanted to do. However, when he saw Jiang Congshuang beside him, he felt a little comforted. He didnot think too much and went up to sit.

The First Elder turned to look at the scene. The

smile on his face disappeared and his

expression became solemn.

“You can continue. Fourth Elder, please invigilate.”

“Yes!”

A middle-aged man at the side stood up immediately and jumped into the arena to monitor the crowd.

Soon after.

The First Elder smiled again and looked at Nan

Shan.

“Nan Shan, now that you’re an Outer Sect disciple, how much monthly salary do you

want?”

Eh?

What was going on? Nan Shan was a little puzzled.

How could he decide the monthly salary?
