This man was handsome. His large sleeves were flying in the wind, so it made it easy for one to like him.

He gently waved his hands. The middle-aged man who had brought Rong Kaixuan in quietly left the place.

“Hoho, your name is Rong Kaixuan, right?”

“Yes,” Rong Kaixuan a little anxiously replied.

The man gently waved his arms about and said, “There is no need to be so nervous. I’m the spiritualist on duty this month at the Hall of Spiritualists, Rong Yiyao. You can call me Uncle Yao or Senior Uncle.”

Rong Kaixuan quickly greeted him, “Greetings to Uncle Yao.”

Rong Yiyao nodded satisfactorily and said, “I heard that you discovered you have the gift of a spiritualist at the Ability Testing Hall. That’s very good. Our family has a lot of martial arts practitioners, but we’ve never had a lot of spiritualists. This huge Hall of Spiritualists has no more than 30 spiritualists, and that’s including those whose surname isn’t Rong.”

Rong Kaixuan was so surprised that he widened his eyes. When he had come in, he could see how vast this Hall of Spiritualists was. One was definitely able to describe it as a city within a city.

The amount of space within it would have easily held 10,000 people without any issues.

Yet, the man in front of him had said that there were no more than 30 spiritualists in this place. Even if one added on some relatives and servants, these few people didn’t really need this much space, did they?

Rong Yiyao smiled faintly and said, “Come along with me. Let me see the level of your spiritualist gifting.”

He turned around and started walking. Rong Kaixuan didn’t dare fall behind and quickly caught up with Rong Yiyao.

After a short while, they arrived at another courtyard. This courtyard was a few thousand square feet large. It had some fairly common plants growing in it.

Rong Yiyao stopped walking and asked, “Kaixuan, can you tell what the difference is between this place and the outside world?”

Rong Kaixuan froze and looked around him for a while. Eventually, he shook his head and replied, “Uncle Yao, I don’t see anything different about this place.”

Rong Yiyao frowned slightly. There was a hint of disappointment on his face, but it quickly faded. “Actually it’s nothing really. The Spirit Power here is stronger than out there, so it’s very suitable for testing the quality of your Spirit Power.” He gently said, “So, calm yourself down and tune yourself to the surroundings. See if you can attract Spirit Power toward yourself.”

Rong Kaixuan scratched his head and was a little confused. “Uncle Yao, how do I go about attracting Spirit Power toward myself?”

Rong Yiyao couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “It’s very simple. Just do it like this.”

The smile on his face didn’t change, but there was a sudden glow around him. Tiny white sparkles were spinning around his body. It was as if countless fireflies were dancing and flying around him.

Rong Kaixuan’s expression started to change. To an ordinary person, this looked like a magic trick that made one feel unable to understand how it had happened. Rong Kaixuan quickly and easily sensed how this whole thing worked.

Perhaps it was because of that mysterious power inside that area between his eyebrows, but Rong Kaixuan realized that Rong Yiyao had a peculiar sort of power around him. That power was capable of unleashing a strange force that attracted certain things from the surrounding area. When all the things that were floating in a different dimension drew closer to Rong Yiyao, it gave off a white glow that lit up everything around it.

Rong Yiyao smiled faintly and said, “That’s how you do it. Why don’t you try?”

When he said that, he didn’t really have high hopes that he would achieve it.

People who had a Spiritualist gift also had some sort of mental strength. If that mental strength wasn’t trained and refined, it was difficult for it to work well with the Spirit Power of nature outside the body.

As long as Rong Kaixuan was able to attract a tiny bit of Spirit Power toward himself, he could confirm that this boy really had such a gift.

Rong Kaixuan nodded vigorously and took a deep breath.

After the previous two tests and all the information he had gathered on the way here, he understood that this test was very important for him. There was no room for him to be careless about it.

He focused his consciousness. The Qi flow between his eyebrows immediately started churning and spinning inside.

A thin stream of Qi flow started to waft out from between his eyebrows. The Qi flow had remained between his eyebrows for a few days. Now, it could follow his will and do whatever he wanted it to.

Rong Kaixuan started to quietly chant to himself.

Attract those things. Attract those forces and make them come here.

As if it had received a command from Rong Kaixuan, the steady flow of Qi flow instantly and violently started to move. In the next moment, all the Spirit Power of the sky and earth floating in the air immediately started surging. Those external forces rushed toward Rong Kaixuan like tidal waters. In an instant, there was a small Spirit Power whirlpool around his body.

Countless sparkles started lighting up around Rong Kaixuan. When all these sparkles were gathered, they looked like they had become a large lightbulb that gave off a bright and blinding glow.

Rong Kaixuan’s eyelids suddenly started twitching. He had released the Qi flow between his eyebrows before, and he had even used it to create a human-shaped body.

This was the first time this power came into contact with the Spirit Power of nature outside his body.

In that instant, all the sparkles that had rushed over to Rong Kaixuan and encircled him to become a huge stream of white light started trying to rush into Rong Kaixuan’s body.

Rong Kaixuan got a fright when he realized what was happening. He yelped and immediately stopped chanting to himself. He gave an order to keep the Spirit Power outside of his body.

Unfortunately, his reaction was a bit too slow. During the time he took to react, a huge amount of the white light had already entered his body. Rather, it had gone into the space between his eyebrows.
