As the saying goes, before the Prime Minister's gate, even the gatekeeper ranks as a seventh-grade official.

Even the gatekeeper of the Prime Minister's household is equivalent to a seventh-grade official.

This means that those who are affiliated with influential figures or powerful forces are not to be underestimated and should be treated with caution.

The same logic applies.

Although the servant disciples of Medicine King Mountain carry the title of 'servant,' they are true disciples of Medicine King Mountain, and in the eyes of outsiders, they should not be easily offended.

Strictly speaking, being a servant disciple of Medicine King Mountain is not bad. Even though their status is low and they are required to perform various chores, similar to servants, there is still a sliver of opportunity for advancement.

As long as they can display talent and skill, or if they are fortunate enough to gain the favor of someone influential, there might be a chance to be promoted to an Outer or Inner Sect Disciple in the future.

However, everyone's original goal was to become an Outer Disciple, or even an Inner Sect Disciple.

Originally, they had grand dreams, but now they can only become servant disciples, a disparity that is hard to accept!

Perhaps someone might have hidden talent, possibly achieving success in one leap, yet such chances are extremely slim, and few people feel they are that lucky.

After the young man left in despair, others began to undergo the assessment.

Among them, nearly half had inferior root bones and were eliminated.

The remainder mostly had average root bones, and like the earlier young man, He Ling True Master promised them entry into Medicine King Mountain as servant disciples.

An occasional superior root bone didn't cause much surprise, and He Ling True Master, with a calm demeanor, granted them status as Outer Disciples.

As more and more people were assessed, all turned out having mostly inferior or average root bones, making He Ling True Master's expression increasingly stern.

At this moment, it was Xia Xiuxue's turn to be assessed.

Not far away, Xia Mingyang perked up and looked over, while Gu Yuan also watched Xia Xiuxue with a hint of curiosity.

Although Xia Xiuxue's root bone seemed ordinary, Gu Yuan noticed that Xia Mingyang had great expectations for Xia Xiuxue.

For despite learning that those with an average root bone could only become servant disciples, the father and daughter showed little disappointment.

Clearly, the father and daughter possessed enough confidence to not fear failing the assessment!

When Xia Xiuxue placed her fair hand upon the Profound Mechanism Disc, it did not emit the white light as with others; instead, a faint cyan-green glow appeared.

"Cyan-green... Could it be some sort of Spiritual Body?"

Seeing this, many people were taken aback.

They realized that people with ordinary talent typically made the Profound Mechanism Disc emit white light, forming various Spiritual Phenomena.

When other colors appeared, it clearly indicated that Xia Xiuxue possessed a special talent.

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised; this Third Miss Xia indeed had a special talent!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xia Mingyang clenched his fingers in excitement and shouted praise continuously.

His own root bone talent was already good, a superior root bone, but this daughter surpassed him, how could he not be happy?

He Ling True Master was invigorated by the scene, gazing intently.

The transformation of the Profound Mechanism Disc continued.

The cyan-green light fluxed unpredictably, showcasing a series of rare and exotic flowers and plants, radiating a vibrant and lively aura.

Some even detected faint traces of herbal fragrance in the air.

As the glow gradually dimmed, Xia Xiuxue clasped her hands, nervously looking toward He Ling True Master.

He Ling True Master's expression subtly softened, saying: "It seems you possess the Hundred Herbs Body; this physique is innately aligned with rare flowers and grasses, suitable for nurturing Spirit Medicine, and is considered a partial Wood Spirit Body."

After a pause for thought, he said: "With your talent, you indeed qualify to become an Inner Sect Disciple of Medicine King Mountain. However, in Medicine King Mountain, whether Outer or Inner Sect, only the capable rise while the mediocre fall."

"If you have the ability to maintain your status as an Inner Sect Disciple, naturally no one will have anything to say. If not, don't blame unjust fate."

Inner Sect Disciple!

This statement stirred quite a commotion among the crowd.

Especially those who obtained Outer Disciple qualifications, who felt somewhat envious and jealous.

The benefits of being an Outer Disciple are already quite good.

However, compared to Inner Disciples, it's still far inferior!

Inner Disciples not only receive sufficient Grain Elixirs each month and a portion of Spirit Stones but also gain access to True Daoist Techniques upon entry!

In contrast, Outer Disciples can only start their cultivation with Martial Arts Techniques, and they must find ways to secure various resources needed for cultivation.

Completing the Innate Martial Master stage and wanting to elevate to the Celestial Human Realm requires undertaking tasks to accumulate merits and exchange them for True Daoist Techniques.

As long as Xia Xiuxue proceeds with methodical cultivation and isn't extremely unlucky, she is guaranteed to become a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator in the future!

If cultivated well, it's not impossible for her to become a Golden Core Great Cultivator.

And a Golden Core Great Cultivator can live at least five hundred years, enough to establish a Cultivation Family and protect it for centuries.

What a tremendous opportunity this is?!

For a time, many people's eyes reddened with envy.

"Hundred Herbs Body, innately aligned with rare flowers and grasses..."

Gu Yuan nodded silently to himself: "Xia Xiuxue's luck isn't bad."

Given that Medicine King Mountain's main focus is on Alchemy and cultivating Spirit Medicine, with most of its teachings being Fire or Wood Element related, it particularly favors disciples with Wood Spirit Bodies.

Since both Alchemy and Spirit Medicine cultivation allow Fire and Wood Element practitioners certain advantages.

Even if this Hundred Herbs Body is only a partial Wood Spirit Body, it's far superior to a superior root bone!

The essence of difference between Spiritual and Mortal bodies is already significant.

Evidently, Xia Xiuxue will receive considerable attention upon joining Medicine King Mountain.

"If this Hundred Herbs Body can be well-trained, there might even be the chance to upgrade to the Hundred Herbs Spirit Body. To receive such a talented disciple, He Ling's fortuity!"

Starcloud exclaimed in admiration.

"Whether or not her body can upgrade depends on her future fortunes."

He Ling True Master modestly replied, sighing:

"Your disciple from some days ago, with the Primordial Sword Bone physique, perfectly matches your Star River Sword Sect's Daoist Sword Scripture. Truly, you're the fortunate one."

The Primordial Sword Bone, naturally perceives the Power of the Stars; its Sword Dao talent is exceptional, undoubtedly the most suited for cultivating Star River Sword Sect's Daoist Skills and Sword Formulas!

Its significance to the Star River Sword Sect is unquestionable!

"You flatter me, my friend."

He Ling True Master's words resonated deeply with Starcloud, who waved his hand repeatedly yet couldn't conceal his smile.

Baochan True Master did not voice anything; though the Hundred Herbs Body is good, it is merely decent. Elevating it to a Spiritual Body isn't easy.

The assessments continued.

Soon, it was Li Changqing's turn.

As Li Changqing stepped forward, the courtyard grew silent—no one spoke, and everyone watched intently, curious about what talents he might possess.

He Ling True Master remained impassive, without uttering a word.
