It's September, and it's late autumn. The red maple is like fire, and the yellow leaves are like butterflies.

On this day, a small black canopy swayed on the river.

The oblique wind and cold sun, the sunset bridgehead, the shore of the riverside Zhi Tinglan reveals the decay. Several rows of reeds stood tall, like peerless sword intent.

"Spirit Sword Sect, I'm here!"

The Five-Star Cultivation True Star, one of the four major domains of the Gu Ming Star, the Northern Domain, and one of the thirty-six Dao Sects, the Spirit Sword Sect, recruited outer disciples after ten years. This is a great deal for the local monks. If you can be selected by the Spirit Sword Sect as an outer disciple, you will really have the opportunity to come into contact with the authentic Immortal Dao Method.

"Jiang Xinyue, do you dare to bet with me?" said Jiang Tou, a boy with a drooping hair, pointing to his companion beside him.

The young man called Jiang Xinyue has red lips and white teeth, and a pair of eyes are radiant. Jiang Xinyue looked at the young man who was talking and said, "Fang Ruyi, bet on it, it's the puppy who is afraid of losing." ”

Fang Ruyi walked around Jiang Xinyue, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Then don't regret it, let's bet on who can be selected by the Spirit Sword Sect." ”

Jiang Xinyue didn't know that Fang Ruyi had an uncle who was an elder of the outer sect in the Spirit Sword Sect, and this Fang Ruyi wanted to bet with him on who would be selected by the Spirit Sword Sect, and it didn't matter if he was obviously bullying him. Jiang Xinyue had just said something big, and she couldn't tear her face back at the moment, so she said, "If both of us are chosen, then who wins?"

"Haha...... Even you can be chosen, so wouldn't there be more disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect outside the Northern Regions? It's good to take advantage of you, if both sides are chosen, then you win. Fang Ruyi laughed, but immediately covered his mouth. He was afraid that if Jiang Xinyue lost his confidence as he said, and he didn't dare to gamble, wouldn't he be able to deceive this stupid boy's baby.

Jiang Xinyue's face was red, and she said: "Fang Ruyi, I don't believe that you can go to the Spirit Sword Sect, I can't go, just gamble, what if you lose?"

Fang Ruyi smiled faintly and said: "If I can't enter the Spirit Sword Sect, I will let you dispose of it, and I will call you big brother when I see you in the future." But if you lose, I'll ask for the little golden sword you wear around your neck. ”

After Jiang Xinyue hesitated for a while, she nodded in agreement, if both sides choose, he wins, he is not a loss, and it is not good to refuse again.

The little golden sword around his neck was a relic left to him by his mother, and that Fang Ruyi had asked him many times to beg for the little golden sword without Jiang Xinyue's consent, so he thought about it for a long time.

After a short time, a few Taoists in blue robes fell from the clouds, immortal wind and bones, majestic. The first one glanced at the boys and said, "There is a good seedling, and it is not in vain that I will come in person." ”

I don't know who the Taoist is talking about, before Jiang Xinyue could react, a spiritual power swept over, and a Taoist priest took him away. He looked at the others and the others were all sent to the air with immortal magic powers by the remaining Taoist priests.

In the sea of clouds, Jiang Xinyue opened her eyes and looked at the mountains that were entrenched in the mountains but as small as a grain of dust, and couldn't help but feel agitated. Edgeworth's ability to fly, this is a legendary spell, and I don't know if he can become such a great monk in this life?

Jiang Xinyue was also sullen because she agreed to Fang Ruyi's gambling and fighting. The young man's heart, when he saw the end of the sea of clouds, his eyebrows danced happily in a blink of an eye, and he completely forgot about the gambling and fighting. Jiang Xinyue closed her eyes and opened her hands as if she was flying in the sky. The Taoist who took him to fly was not surprised, but admired Jiang Xinyue's courage in his heart. In the past, he had also brought some disciples who had come to participate in the sect's assessment, and few of them could be so relaxed and lively on the first flight.

"Okay, you stay here, and I'll go and tell the elders who will test your bones, and test your bones. All the people fell outside a large hall, and one of them commanded.

Jiang Xinyue said secretly: "It's not a loss to come this time, I can be regarded as having seen the world." ”

Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Xinyue glanced at a few children who were squatting on the ground and vomiting, and her face was sarcastic. It's just a trip to the sky, these people are scared like this, Jiang Xinyue is disdainful in her heart.

"Jiang Xinyue, are you okay at all?" but Fang Ruyi asked with an uncomfortable expression.

Jiang Xinyue glanced at Fang Ruyi, he raised his head and hummed: "Alas, how invincible and lonely it is on the road to becoming an immortal. I can't imagine some people, even afraid of the void. ”

Fang Ruyi clutched his stomach, so he pretended to be loud and said: "Who is afraid, master, I just care about your feelings." Look at all of them vomiting and diarrhea, if I still look arrogant, wouldn't they be very shameless. ”

Jiang Xinyue just wanted to expose Fang Ruyi's swollen face and become fat, but suddenly felt a sour stomach. His face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Fang Ruyi and whispered: "People have three urgency, Fang Ruyi, do you know how there is a thatched house?"

Fang Ruyi glanced at Jiang Xinyue and showed a funny look.

"Shh......h

That side was so bad that he whistled a few times, almost making Jiang Xinyue urinate in his crotch.

Jiang Xinyue said angrily: "Do you believe that I urinated on you directly?"

Fang Ruyi saw that he was really untying his trouser belt, and hurriedly moved away from him, pointed to a statue beside him and said: "Take a look for yourself? This place is empty and vast, even if there is a thatched house, can you hold on? In this way, you hurry up to this back to solve it, I will help you watch the wind, no one will find out, you can come back quickly." ”

Jiang Xinyue couldn't bear it, and hurriedly walked behind the statue pointed by Fang Ruyi to solve it on the spot.

Fang Ruyi watched Jiang Xinyue walk away, and sneered in her heart.

At that moment, three monks flew out of the main hall. At the head was an old man with gray hair and a long beard, and his face was like a red date. The old man landed in front of him, looked at everyone, and said with a hint of doubt on his face: "What about one other person?"

Fang Ruyi stood up and said, "Immortal Chief, the disciple saw a person walking behind the statue of the ancestor master. ”

The red-faced old man nodded at Fang Ruyi, his eyes looking at the white statue that was dozens of feet high. I happened to see a naughty boy tying his trouser belt with his hand.

The red-faced old man's beard and hair were all open, and he said angrily: "Bold, who is here to insult the statue of the ancestor god?"

When the disciples heard this, they couldn't believe that someone was so bold and disrespectful to the statue of the ancestor master.

I didn't see any spell used by the red-faced old man, and he sucked Jiang Xinyue over with one palm, hanging in the air and unable to move. Jiang Xinyue was so frightened that her soul flew away, and she glanced at Fang Ruyi with a ruthless light in the corner of her eyes, and Fang Ruyi quickly avoided his gaze, which made Jiang Xinyue angry and unspeakable.

Soon, several more Taoist priests came to the square.

Jiang Xinyue heard someone say, "Senior Brother Chen, what's the matter, why are you holding a child in your hand?"

The red-faced Taoist who was carrying Jiang Xinyue with one hand glanced at Jiang Xinyue fiercely before he spoke: "This kid has no respect for his elders, so he ran under the statue of the ancestor while people were not paying attention...... Urinate. ”

The person who spoke before was a middle-aged man wearing a sword-patterned yellow robe, and he smiled when he heard this: "This is not a big deal, the child's innocence is still untouched, and it is understandable." Senior Brother Chen, let him go. ”

When the red-faced Taoist saw the yellow-robed Taoist priest say this, he didn't dare to disobey, but he just glanced at Jiang Xinyue angrily before putting him down.

The yellow-robed man glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Next, I will test the root bone for you, but those who reach the root bone can become the outer disciple of my Spirit Sword Sect, and if the root bone reaches the four stars, they can become the inner disciple." Arrange your lines up and come to me in turn. ”

The so-called talent root bone is generally divided into six stars. A one-star root bone has the qualification to cultivate the Qi refining period, which is the most common qualification in the cultivation realm, and almost every person in the cultivation realm has a one-star root bone. Those with two-star roots and bones have the qualifications to cultivate the foundation building period, three stars are the feather stage, four stars are the knot stage, five stars are the Yuan Infant stage, and six stars are the transformation period. The six-star qualification is capped, because it is almost impossible to cultivate above the god transformation stage with the power of talent alone.

The yellow-robed Taoist was holding a bronze mirror in his hand, flowing with five-colored fairy rays. This spirit mirror that tests the root bone star and the spirit root type, the five-colored fairy mangs are yellow, green, blue, red, and gray, corresponding to the five spirit root types of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

A boy spreads out his palm and attaches it to a bronze mirror. I saw one of the yellow rays rise, about two inches high.

"Very good, two-star Golden Spirit Root. Wang Ping, right, you are very good, from today onwards, you will be the outer disciple of my Spirit Sword Sect. After entering my mountain gate, you must either cultivate to break through to the late stage of foundation building, or earn enough sect points, otherwise you are not allowed to leave without permission, you know?"

Joining a sect can obtain many benefits, such as exercises, elixirs, and cultivation knowledge. But the sect does not cultivate you in vain, unless you become a high-ranking elder, you need to complete the tasks issued to you by the sect, and after completing the tasks, you will get a part of the sect points.

Once you join the Spirit Sword Sect and become an outer disciple, there are only two ways if you want to leave. Either cultivate to reach the late stage of foundation building, or obtain enough sect points, otherwise you are not allowed to leave without permission, this is undoubtedly the control of the Immortal Dao Sect on the disciples. Generally speaking, the outer mountain disciples are not really sect disciples, many of them are not talented, and the Spirit Sword Sect is willing to protect them, and will also make demands on these outer disciples. This request is their free manpower, and in addition to their usual free activities of cultivation, the outer disciples also have to participate in some miscellaneous work such as refining medicine and farming.

After testing five or six children in a row, the old man in the yellow robe shook his head.

It was Jiang Xinyue's turn, and Jiang Xinyue was still a little frightened because of the fact that she had under the statue of her grandfather. He didn't dare to look at the yellow-robed old man, so he only lightly pressed his palm on the spirit mirror in the yellow-robed old man's hand.

I saw that a layer of dwarf light rose from the spirit mirror, and it disappeared in an instant, and then a line of words appeared on the mirror: low qualifications, one-star earth spirit root.

The old man in the yellow robe touched Jiang Xinyue's hair and sighed, "Child, don't give up easily. Three Thousand Avenues, there is always a road that suits you. ”

Jiang Xinyue lowered her head and walked past everyone. He seemed to see the red-faced man looking at him viciously, and he also seemed to see Fang Ruyi laughing at him insolently.

Not long after, it was Fang Ruyi's turn, and Jiang Xinyue sneaked to see it. He said secretly: "It doesn't matter, as long as Fang Ruyi is also a one-star qualification, I won't lose." ”

Fang Ruyi put his palm on the bronze mirror, and in an instant, the brilliance was magnificent, and he saw the yellow and blue lights on the bronze mirror rise four inches high.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that a four-star twin spirit root bone would appear this time. The old man in the yellow robe said in surprise.

Wow......

The news spread and caused everyone to talk about it.

"Oh my God, it turned out to be a four-star root bone, with the qualification to cultivate to the Jindan stage. ”

"I was only two and a half stars, and I thought I was better than most people, but compared to real geniuses, I realized how humble my talent was. ”

"It's not just a four-star spirit root, but it's an extremely rare gold-water dual spirit root. The monks of the double spirit root are far more powerful than the monks of the single spirit root, both in terms of cultivation and combat effectiveness. ”

Jiang Xinyue couldn't have imagined that this Fang Ruyi turned out to be a four-star qualification, he originally thought that Fang Ruyi swore that he could enter the Spirit Sword Sect because he had that uncle in the Spirit Sword Sect. But he didn't expect that Fang Ruyi would be more than enough to enter the Spirit Sword Sect even by himself, and he would become the only person present to enter the Inner Sect.

Jiang Xinyue couldn't hide if she wanted to, so Fang Ruyi came over.

"Jiang Xinyue, you won't want to regret it, right?"

Looking at Fang Ruyi's arrogant appearance, the angry Jiang Xinyue stomped her feet. Taking off the small golden sword on his chest and putting it in Fang Ruyi's hand, Jiang Xinyue said angrily: "Don't worry, one day I will take it back from your hands." ”

A day later, by the riverside.

A remnant sun spreads in the water, half of the river is sorrowful and half of the river is red. Jiang Xinyue pretended to be old and sighed deeply at the slanting sun and boarded the ferry. He stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the location of the Spirit Sword Sect from afar, thinking that he had sprinkled a soak of urine next to the statue of the ancestor of the Spirit Sword Sect, which could be regarded as a beautiful time, and it was worth the trip.

"If you don't stay here, you will go home and farm. ”

In between the chapters of drastic revisions, a little bit extra
