Chapter 6: A Thousand Ladders

"Why are the mountains the same here? I can't believe that I can't get out of these strange mountains," Li Yifeng said and walked into the mountains and forests again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Report, Great Elder, there is a teenager in the psychedelic forest outside the sect's mountain protection formation, and the disciple on duty has guided him to leave several times, but ......" a disciple on duty said in a panic. "But what", "But this child shows no signs of giving up", "Okay, can't you handle the trivial matter of sesame?" It is estimated that it is just curiosity, recently it is the assessment of the outer disciples, pay more attention to the children with perseverance, go" After the Great Elder finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the disciple on duty to do it.

"It's here again, I've already walked through, why did I come back here again?" Li Yifeng said suspiciously. In this way, Li Yifeng has to enter the psychedelic forest once a day, every time he walks in vain, and every time he comes out of the psychedelic forest, he will think about how to pass through this strange forest. Just as Li Yifeng was blocked by the psychedelic forest, dozens of children of different ages appeared in front of the gate of Yuxuguan Mountain, and they were testing the thousand-fold ladder. "Those who can reach the top of the mountain before dusk will be classified as disciples of the outer sect, and those who fail the test will be sent back to your respective villages, do you understand?" a young man who looked like a deacon explained the rules to the children who were tested.

Dozens of children heard the young man's words and ran up the stairs in a swarm, the first ten or so steps could easily pass, and then it became more and more difficult, and the children who walked in front began to slow down, and from time to time looked back at the people who were behind, with a disdainful smile on their faces.

"Big Niu, do you find that this ladder is getting more and more difficult, it's not good after just a few walks" A child gasped and asked the big cow next to him, "Xiaohu, this ladder is more difficult to walk than the average one, and the whole person is a lot heavier all of a sudden", "Isn't this nonsense, if we can't reach the top today, we all have to go home and plow the fields", the two children who seemed to know each other discussed this ladder during the break.

In a hidden corner, there were two disciples on duty who were secretly observing the children, and only came to the rescue when the children fell due to physical exhaustion. At noon, all the children sat down to rest, and some of the children who were closer to each other began to discuss the staircase. The test was cruel, from time to time there were children who fell off from physical exhaustion, but they were all saved by the disciples on duty who were secretly observing, and as time went by, there were only a few eight children who still insisted on walking, and these children were people with great perseverance, no matter how difficult it was to walk. At dusk, only three of them could reach their destination, and two of them failed to reach their destination, at this time the deacon came out, "Yes, there are more people than expected, the three who have passed the test will go down to the sect to register, and those who have not passed the test will be sent to the Alchemy Pavilion Li Shibo to be a medicine boy."

Li Yifeng, who was in the psychedelic forest on the periphery of the Jade Void Temple, did not know about the test of the outer disciples, and the only thing that was certain now was that behind the forest was the residence of the immortal master, and he had to find a way to get through this strange forest, but what method would he use to attract the attention of the immortal masters? It was already night, and Li Yifeng could only see walking.

When he woke up in the morning, Li Yifeng began to do what he had to do every day, that is, to go into the psychedelic forest, even if the result was the same every day, he would not give up, and he insisted on it for a month. Maybe it's perseverance that touched the heavens, or it's good luck, just today when the disciples on duty changed shifts, Li Yifeng broke through the psychedelic forest in a daze, it doesn't matter if he broke through the psychedelic forest, the most important thing is that a middle-aged man appeared in front of him, and he caught Li Yifeng without saying a word. "I finally saw the immortal master, please accept Xiaoyi as an apprentice", Li Yifeng was so happy that he forgot that he was already a fish on the chopping board, and said the request for apprenticeship in a daze. "I know that this is not a place for ordinary people to come, if I really want to apprentice, I will reach the top of the Thousand Ladder before dusk", the middle-aged man finished speaking, and took Li Yifeng to the Thousand Ladder when he tested the outer disciples.

Li Yifeng looked at this staircase suspiciously, feeling that passing through this staircase was as simple as eating lettuce, but it was not so simple to really walk. As the saying goes, one step at a time, Li Yifeng leaves clearly visible footprints every time he takes a step, and after walking for about an hour, he stops to rest for a while and continues to climb the ladder. At the end of the thousand-heavy ladder stood a middle-aged man, Li Yifeng's every move was in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "I hope this kid is the person the old man is waiting for, if it is not for it, he can only pin his hopes on Qing'er."

At this time, Li Yifeng didn't know what the middle-aged man said, and he was concentrating on every step, stopping and resting for ten breaths with every step. There is still an hour before dusk, but there are still more than ten steps, these ten or so steps are the real test, and when there are still ten steps, Li Yifeng gritted his teeth every time he took a step, beads of sweat overflowed like spring water, and he hit the ground dripping, and his back was soaked with sweat. Now Li Yifeng has only one thought in his mind, that is, to keep going, and finally find the immortal master, and he can't just give up.

Level 10, level 9, level 5, level 3, "ah", at the last moment, he accidentally stepped on the air and fell two steps in a row, Li Yifeng was not discouraged, patted the dust on his body, took a deep breath, and suddenly pulled back the gap that had just fallen down, it was because of this that Li Yifeng knelt on his knees, stood up again with his body that was about to fall, adjusted his steps and stepped out again. "It's just the last level, okay, you can finally apprentice", Li Yifeng gasped and said.

When Li Yifeng took the last step, his body lay on the ground with relief, panting and thinking about what to say about the apprentice, but what he was waiting for was not the introduction of the apprentice, and a bad news splashed Li Yifeng's body with cold water.

"It's a bit of perseverance to pass the thousand-fold ladder, but this doesn't mean that you can worship the sect, and you have to test the spiritual root", the middle-aged man said unexpectedly to Li Yifeng when he passed the thousand-fold ladder. At this time, Li Yifeng was confused, what is the spiritual root, why do you need a spiritual root to worship the sect, isn't it possible to apprentice after passing the test? Li Yifeng stood up after resting for a while, and suddenly the middle-aged man stretched out to the top of Li Yifeng's head, Li Yifeng knew that this was testing the spiritual root and did not resist. After waiting for a while, what came was the angry scolding of the middle-aged man, "Waste firewood, it is actually the miscellaneous spirit root of the five elements attribute, the old man waited in vain, and what he was waiting for was actually a waste wood"

Li Yifeng didn't know what the miscellaneous spiritual root of the five elements attribute was, and now he only knew that he had a spiritual root, but he didn't understand why the middle-aged man in front of him was so angry, Li Yifeng saw that the situation was not good, and immediately knelt down and asked for forgiveness, but what he was waiting for was only the middle-aged man brushing his sleeves away.

At this moment, Li Yifeng watched the middle-aged man leave, and he didn't dare to get up casually, so he kept kneeling, thinking that he must kneel until the immortal master accepts the apprentice.
