Feng Baixiao couldn't help but glanced at the young man a few more times, and saw a group of people stumbled over in the distance.

Five people went up the mountain for a trial, and finally gathered a total of 145 beginners who passed the trial. It was said that these people were taken to rest, but it was also a part of the trial.

The place where these testers live is very far from Taiji Square, and it takes more than an hour to run back and forth. The time of the trial is set at the hour. As long as the hour passes and the tester does not arrive on time, it will be regarded as a failure of the trial and sent directly to to the foot of the mountain.

This is the case for Wan Jianzong's annual entry-level assessment, because this assessment has also passed through and I don't know how many seekers, but like Bai Lixin, who did not go to his residence, he chose to meditate in this Taiji Square for one night. , but never seen.

The trialists arrived one after another, and the hour was approaching. Feng Baixiao's eyes swept through the crowd casually, and after silently counting the number of people, he made a gesture to the cranes hovering in the sky.

The crane, which was hovering in the sky, raised its head and squeaked, folded its wings and swooped down. When it flew to the front of the huge bronze-colored clock, it froze for a while, and with a flexible body, it slammed the mallet with its claws.

The huge bronze bell vibrated instantly, and the sound oscillated with the bell as the center, reaching the human ear.

"Boom!" There was another loud noise, and Xianhe turned around again and kicked the mallet again and again, again and again, until he had knocked seven times, and Xianhe didn't give up. With a long chirp, it fluttered its wings and hovered over the giant bell for a few laps before diving into the body of the bronze giant bell.

The crane disappeared, but above the giant bronze bell, there appeared a crane that was about to fly, with its mouth slightly open as if it was chirping.

Qiu Xian asked dumbfounded and looked at the scene in front of him with a look of disbelief.

Among these people, some are themselves from a cultivating aristocratic family, and many are ordinary children in the mundane world. Now that such a scene that only appeared in literature is actually happening in front of them, they can't help but be a little surprised, and their eyes are even more Full of yearning for the realm of self-cultivation.

Feng Baixiao saw the yearning in the eyes of these innocent children, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

It was not until the end of the seven bells that Bai Lixin opened his eyes slowly, patted his shirt lightly and stood up, looking up at the high platform with a calm expression, no joy or sadness in his eyes. Although he was out of tune with the people around him, he seemed extremely inconspicuous.

Feng Baixiao noticed this unusual feeling, and involuntarily glanced at the boy a few more times.

When the hour came, Daoist Yi Xiao was long overdue with the wine gourd.

There were more than a dozen testers who came later than Daoist Yixiao. Daoist Yixiao didn't say much, and the tester who couldn't pant gently waved his sleeve at the wine gourd. The gourd flew in front of these dozen people in an instant and sucked them all in.

"Failed in the first test, send them down the mountain." Daoist Yixiao shouted at the wine gourd, and the wine gourd rose into the air as if it had life, and flew down the fairy mountain.

After sending away the loser, Taoist smiled and then looked at everyone, "Very good, congratulations, you passed the first test of my Wanjianzong. You will be my Wanjianzong's disciples from now on."

Daoist Yixiao's words left everyone at a loss. Didn't they gather for the trial today? How did you pass the trial when you got here?

Daoist Yixiao laughed and said to the crowd: "I said that if you pass, you will pass, but becoming a disciple of Wanjianzong does not mean once and for all. My Wanjianzong is the second sect of self-cultivation, standing in this thousand Ten thousand years have never declined. During this period, my Wanjianzong has produced two cultivation powers. One has become an immortal. Although the other unfortunately died not long ago, he is also a prominent figure in the cultivation world. For a large sect like ours, we select disciples. It is even more important to consider carefully. There are twelve immortal peaks on Wanjianzong, and each immortal peak has a peak master, and each peak master will recruit as many as four or at least one inner door every three years. Disciple, as for those of you who are not selected as inner sect disciples, you have to start from outer sect. Inner sect disciples are not necessarily good, and outer sect disciples are not necessarily bad.”

As Taoist smiled, he took out a jade slip from his sleeve pocket, squeezed it hard, and then raised his voice: "Everyone, all the new apprentices have completed their assessments, and a total of 15,400 people have participated in the trials. , a total of one hundred and thirty-five people have successfully passed the trial, and all the peak masters are also invited to come to Tai Chi Square to choose their favorite disciples."

Daoist Yixiao looked down at everyone with a smile, and with a wave of his hand in the sky, he saw the wine gourd, which had just left for a while, flew back again.

He put the wine gourd into his mouth and took a sip, laughed loudly and said, "When the next peak masters will come to choose their favorite disciples, you have to behave well, don't be the worst. Brilliant little guy."

Most of the one hundred and thirty-five people swallowed their saliva and clenched their fists nervously.

Because Bai Lixin's body has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon for ten thousand years, his cultivation base has already reached the limitless level. In addition, his soul level has already approached the SS level. At this time, he quietly released it. Divine Vision surrounded the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Looking down at Wanjianzong, where is the ten-thousand-story stairs that he climbed up a few days ago. Countless mountain peaks are suspended in mid-air, sitting within the clouds, both mysterious and illusory.

Wan Jianzong has a total of thirteen larger peaks, and the mountain where he is located is also a large peak.

There are countless small peaks suspended around each main peak, and there are countless caves on top of each peak. It seems that the cultivators live in them.

Just as Daoist Yixiao said just now, the reason why Wanjianzong can become the second largest sect in the realm of self-cultivation is because of an almighty who ascended to the Immortal Realm. In the entire cultivation world, only the Wanjian Sect and the top ranked Lingxian Sect have an almighty who can ascend to the Immortal Realm. But the reason why it can't rank second and can't rank first is because of the emergence of a demonic cultivator who has made the whole cultivation world terrified - the Nine Heavens Demon Lord.

Bailishin's consciousness overlooked Wanjianzong, and suddenly found a cave house with a secret formation. Bai Lixin's consciousness was stagnant, and he manipulated his consciousness to go there.

But the consciousness had just flown halfway, when Bai Lixin suddenly felt a murderous aura coming towards him. He froze suddenly, threw a false consciousness in the air and quietly took back his consciousness.

This was just the blink of an eye. When Bai Lixin looked up again, he found that there were already many people on the empty high platform. They were the peak masters of the major peaks.

The peak masters came one after another, there were men and women, except for Feng Baixiao who was sent by Broken Sword Peak, the other peak heads were all the peak masters.

Daoist smiled and everyone came, and then took out a crystal ball from his storage bag, "This is the spirit root test bead, come over one by one, hold the spirit root test bead in both hands, the spirit root test bead will meet. Feel the spiritual roots you have and show them through colors, so as to find the most suitable teacher and practice Taoism."

Daoist Yixiao threw the Spirit Root Test Bead gently into the air, and the Spirit Root Test Bead stopped firmly in the middle of the one hundred and thirty-five testers.

Among the testers, different from the hesitation of most people, one person was eager to try, and the moment the spirit bead stopped, the young man raised his hand high with a slight hesitation, "I'll come first!" Bai Lixin followed the voice to look over, compared the person with the character in his picture, and soon knew the identity of the person.

This person's name is Lu Lan, and he is a collateral descendant of the Lu family, a cultivating family. His mother was a member of the family, so that Lu Lan was not welcome since he was a child. After the children of the Lu family reached the age of eight, they would go to the spiritual immortal sect, the first sect of self-cultivation, but only Lu Lan was not taken seriously one or two. , has always been treated like a subordinate.

Not long ago, Lu Lan's mother finally died of a serious illness, and Lu Lan just gritted her teeth and left the family to study at Wanjianzong, the second sect of self-cultivation.

Daoist Yixiao saw someone volunteering, he stroked his beard and nodded lightly: "Okay, yes, then you will come first!"

Lu Lan did not hesitate, and walked to the front not far from Bailishin. After he took a deep breath, he touched the Spirit Root Test Bead in the palm of his hand reverently and nervously.

The originally dark Spirit Root Test Bead slowly began to change, starting from the bottom touching the skin, two rays of light rose upward like a wisp of fine smoke. The rays of light were particularly eye-catching in the black ball. The two rays of light, one gold and one blue, were mutually entanglement.

Seeing the color in the crystal ball, a female peak master's eyes lit up, and she said with joy: "It's actually a water-gold double spiritual root, very good, very good, just enough to practice the Tianshui gold armor technique on my peak, boy, what is your name? name?"

Lu Lan hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied respectfully, "Report to the senior, the junior's name is Lu Lan."

"Lu Lan," the woman nodded, "I am the master of Tianshui Peak, would you like to practice under my sect?"

"The junior is honored!"

"Very good, you come forward." Tianshui Peak beckoned to Lu Lan, motioning him to come to him.

Lu Lan quickly jumped up and stepped forward, daring not to hesitate.

When Lu Lan walked in front of the Tianshui Peak Peak Master, the Peak Master bowed to the surrounding peak masters and said with a smile: "I'm not talented, I will only accept this one disciple this year, so I will go back first." She said from He took out a fan from his cuff, threw it into the air, picked up Lu Lan's collar, jumped on the fan, and flew away like a puff of smoke.

As soon as the Peak Master of Tianshui Peak left, there was a small commotion in the trial crowd.

It's just a tester, and there is already one less peak to study. At this time, there are still 134 testers on the field, but there are only ten peak masters. If it goes on like this, if it is robbed by others First of all, isn't it very likely that you will become an external disciple? !

The tester didn't hesitate any more at this time, and a young man who was closest to the Spirit Root Test Bead took the test bead in his hand and waited excitedly for the changes in the test bead.

Four rays of light rose from the bottom of the ball, and all the peak masters just glanced at random, and they did not cast a single cent of their realization on the boy.

Daoist Yixiao coughed lightly, "Water, wood, fire, metal, four spiritual roots, do you have anything you want?"

There was silence on the high platform, and the Taoist smiled and said: "Okay, you go first and wait while the next tester comes forward."

The boy waited to the side, his eyes still in a trance, and he didn't respond for a long time.

There are five kinds of spiritual roots, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The type and quantity of a person's spiritual roots also determine how far that person can go in the future, and what kind of situation the cultivation base will reach. The single spiritual root has always been known as a rare spiritual root in the cultivation world for thousands of years, because this spiritual root is extremely easy and convenient to practice. The more spiritual roots, the longer it takes to cultivate, and the slower the progress. For example, if a monk with a single spiritual root wants to advance, he only needs to continuously train his soul and temper a single spiritual root. A cultivator with dual spiritual roots needs to temper two spiritual roots to reach the critical point before they can advance.

And because there is only a single spiritual root, the use and mastery of spiritual power is also more light.

It is always easier to grasp the direction of one horse than to grasp the direction of two horses, right?

Therefore, it is said that the single spiritual root is a natural cultivator, while the four spiritual roots and the five spiritual roots are considered to be unconnected to Taoism.

Feng Baixiao, the son of the plane's favored son, is a single-lineage spiritual root - Huo Linggen.

Lu Lan's double spiritual roots are already considered a relatively rare spiritual root in the world of self-cultivation. In the vast world of self-cultivation, most people's spiritual roots are above the three spiritual roots. Most of the roots.

The Spiritual Root Test was in progress, and halfway through, six more peak masters had selected suitable disciples and left. The atmosphere on the field was even more dignified, the nervousness that had not yet been tested, and those who had already been eliminated from the test were like a mourning wife.

After a while, apart from Taoist Yixiao, Feng Baixiao and Shui Kongling, all the peak masters on the high platform left with their favorite disciples, and there were still twenty-five people below who had not undergone the spiritual root test.

Daoist Yixiao glanced at Feng Baixiao, and let out a cold snort from his nostrils: "Feng Baixiao, doesn't your master need to go out in person for the selection of apprentices?"

"Uncle Qixiao smiled, Master, his old man has a guest today, so he ordered the fool to come and select disciples on his behalf."

"Bah! Then you choose, why are you still staying here?" Daoist Yi Xiao patted the wine gourd and hummed.

"Qihan Yixiao Shishu, I really haven't met a suitable person. If there is still no suitable candidate among the twenty-five people, the disciple can only be ashamed of the master's entrustment. It seems that Shishuji has not selected a suitable person yet. apprentice?"

Daoist Yixiao coughed dryly, "Isn't there another twenty-five people? What's the hurry? I have been adhering to the principle of "prefer to lack rather than abuse" since childhood. If there is really no suitable one, I can't just accept it.

Before speaking, seven or eight people were tested, and one of them was also Jinshui Shuangling. If this person was tested before Lu Lan, the Tianshui Peak disciple might have become his, but now he has lost the opportunity, Jinshui Shuanglingen Neither was suitable for the remaining two peaks, so this person only stood unhappily among the outer disciples.

Cultivation emphasizes chance, and this person just doesn't have that chance.

After seven or eight people, it was Bailishin's turn. Bailishin looked at the dark spiritual root test bead, and after thinking about it, he held it up with both hands.

Two rays of light slowly rose from the bottom of the Spirit Root Test Bead. Unlike the two rays of light in Lulan, which were like misty smoke, the two rays of light in Bailishin were as bright as the sun, radiating outward from the crystal ball. Intense light.

Two strong rays of light, one green and one basket, are spirally entangled with each other and tightly entwined. If you can resist the strong light and look carefully, you will find that although these are two entangled rays of light, they intersect. The edges, however, blend in, giving off a warm golden hue.

Daoist Yixiao raised his head and laughed loudly, and was about to speak when he heard Feng Baixiao who was silent beside him suddenly say: "We want this person from Broken Sword Peak."

Daoist Yixiao’s laughter stopped abruptly, and looked at Feng Baixiao with a look on his face that he had eaten a fly: “Shuimu Shuanglinggen, obviously he should be a disciple of our Xuanyuan Peak, what are you doing with Broken Sword Peak?!”

Xuanyuan Peak was not called Xuanyuan Peak before, but Yaofeng. However, after Xuanyuan Yixiao became the peak owner of Yaofeng hundreds of years ago, he thought that the name Yaofeng was not domineering enough, and then changed his name to Xuanyuan Peak. Although it was renamed Xuanyuan Peak, Yaofeng is actually more appropriate.

Xuanyuan Peak is full of spiritual herbs, and the way of cultivation is also the art of refining medicine.

In order to become a medicine cultivator, one must first learn to grasp the properties of medicinal materials in all directions, and to understand the quality of the medicinal materials. In this regard, cultivators with wood spirit roots are more savvy, so medicine cultivators are mostly wood-type cultivators.

However, as a five-element element that is extremely rare between heaven and earth, the wood attribute rarely appears. Even if it does appear, because the road to medicine cultivation is lonely and long, practitioners will often choose to use a cultivation method suitable for another spiritual root attribute. Therefore, medicine cultivation is extremely scarce in the cultivation world.

Since this year, Xuanyuanfeng has not recruited disciples for 20 years, so when he saw Bailishin with strong Shuimu double spiritual roots, he couldn't help laughing up to the sky, but he didn't expect to kill Cheng Yao halfway. gold.

Feng Baixiao pointed at the ball of light that emitted a dazzling light, "Uncle, please see, although this young man is now a water spirit root and a wood spirit root, the two spirit roots are closely combined, and there is an image of fusion and mutation. Look at this mutation. The color of the spiritual root is clearly the root of the spirit, the root of light. The light of gold and iron, the light of fire, light is both a variation of metal and a variation of fire. But whether it is metal or fire, it is suitable for My practice technique of Broken Sword Peak."

"What a bunch of nonsense! It's just overbearing!" Daoist Yixiao slapped the wine gourd fiercely, "Tell you, I, Xuanyuanfeng, will decide this person."

Feng Baixiao just smiled lightly, unspeakably unrestrained, "Don't dare to humiliate Master's expectations, the root of the alien spirit that is rare in a thousand years, we have to settle on Broken Sword Peak."

The dozen or so people in the back who were not tested also stopped and looked at each other at a loss.

Daoist Yixiao and Feng Baixiao were at a stalemate, Daoist Yixiao patted the wine gourd and roared, "I am your uncle, the peak master of Xuanyuan Peak, you actually feel disobedient to me?"

Feng Baixiao bowed calmly, "The disciple doesn't dare. If Uncle Yixiao thinks that the disciple has no right to speak, the disciple will have to harass the master and ask the old man to come over."

Heh, hold the senior senior brother to press me? Daoist Yixiao rubbed his head irritably, his eyes erratic. If the head senior brother comes, this child will definitely not be his own, what should I do? what to do?

The previous teenager with two spiritual roots in Jinshui looked at Bai Lixin who was looted, and then looked at himself, who also had two spiritual roots but no one cared about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Qixiao, this disciple has something to ask for advice. "

Daoist Yixiao took the time to glance at the young man, and said casually, "Since the Peak Master of Tianshui Peak has not seen your spiritual roots, it means that you have no luck."

The young man bit his lip, his face tangled, "This is not what the disciple said, the disciple wants to say, when you said that today's assembly is a trial in the early morning, does that mean that you went to the designated rest area to practice from last night? Coming here today is a trial? But when I was in the rest area yesterday, I clearly hadn't seen this green-clothed boy."

Daoist Yixiao's eyes lit up, raised his brows and pointed at Bailishin angrily: "How could there be such a thing? It just doesn't make sense! You, how dare you take chances? I'll punish you for starting as an outer disciple and doing it for ten years. Can enter the inner door to practice!"

Bai Lixin's mouth opened slightly, and his face was stunned.

Hi, is this ok?
