After explaining everything, Sikou Yao told the children of the Ye Family, "Alright, now children aged from 5 to 25, please line up over here one by one, come forward to test."
The sixteen eligible children from the Ye Family quickly lined up and orderly began taking the test.
The head of the Ye House and his family became nervous, desperately afraid that none of the children would have the Spiritual Root and aptitude needed for cultivation.
They watched as the first boy stepped forward and picked up the Spirit Stone. They waited for a long time, but it did not light up.
The boy was probably only seven or eight years old. His face turned pale, his lips pouted, and his attempt to hold back the tears that welled up in his eyes made Sikou Yao feel a pang of sympathy. She couldn't help but reach out and pat his head, reassuring him, "Kid, you're great! Remember, all roads lead to Rome. If one path doesn't work, take another. You can still be successful, understand?"
The boy nodded.
