The weather in Xuanshui City is very regular, as if it is controlled by an inexplicable force, the sun is always warm as usual, and the cycle of the four seasons is interrupted here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Because of Xuantian, they have been here for three months, but the climate here is still as warm as spring when they came.

On this day, as usual, the five Xuantian people had just come down from the medicine mountain full of spiritual herbs, and they were startled by the young man standing in front of the thatched hut. Because they were none other than the guard who led them into the southwest hall of the Xuanshui Sect that day. For a while, emotions such as surprise, fear, and longing were intertwined, like a broken five-flavor bottle, and I didn't know what it tasted like.

"Well, all five of you are here. I'm here to deliver a message, you can choose to continue growing spirit grass here, or you can choose to try, but if you don't pass the test, you can only leave here!"

"It turned out to be you, senior brother! Thank you for the good news! We will all go to participate in the selection of outer disciples. Please also ask this senior brother to reveal more information about the tryouts to us!" Hearing the young man's words, Sima Ruyun briefly communicated with Xuantian and the others with his eyes, and then replied.

"Good! The courage is not small, and it is already very good to dare to participate! Since I brought you in, I'm going to take care of you a little more. In fact, the selection competition for outer disciples is very harsh, not only is the number of participants large, and the cultivation is high, but also in the competition, people are often seriously injured, and even the dantian is abolished, and they cannot cultivate from then on. What's even more tragic is that the winner stays, the loser leaves, and he is no longer a member of the Xuanshui Sect. ”

"This senior brother, we were selected from the Cultivator Academy. Besides, with such a heavy hand in the competition, don't the high-level people in the hall care? Listening to what the young man said, Su Yun didn't think much about it, and asked casually.

"This girl, do you think this is an ordinary competition! This is a naked competition, either you go up, or I go down, and when we cultivators cultivate to the Na Ling Realm, we don't simply absorb the aura of heaven and earth, it needs a lot of genius earth treasures to support. If you don't enter a big sect, it means that your cultivation resources will be very scarce! As for what academy was selected, it was just a joke. Let me tell you the truth, every year, the cultivators who are selected from the lowest-level academies are doing some chores in various halls, such as planting spirit grass and raising spirit beasts. But not everyone can come in, you know what I mean! By the way, I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Ji Ling, and like you, I come from a larger cultivator academy, and I came here with the same dream as you. However, I made it to the top 100 in the outer disciple selection competition, but because of my low ranking and few resources, I haven't broken through the Na Ling Realm yet, so I can only do some errands here to guard the door and protect the hall. And those brothers and sisters who came here with me were all defeated, and they either lived in this Xuanshui City, or left here to develop randomly. ”

This cultivator named Ji Ling may have been touched by some memories of the past by the words of Xuantian and a few people. The conversation box opened up all of a sudden, and he even talked about how to enter the hall, how he was assigned to grow spirit grass here, and how he was seriously injured in the top 100 ranking match. Emotionally, he sighed several times.

"Senior Brother Ji Ling, thank you for telling us so many things! On behalf of them, I salute my brother!" After Sima Ruyun listened to Ji Ling's story, he hurriedly bowed deeply to him.

"You don't have to do this, I'm just a little bit touching! I hope you all have good results in tomorrow's Outer Disciple Selection Competition! Hurry up and adjust and take a break! Tomorrow is bound to be a tough battle! I'll guide you to the competition tomorrow. Ji Ling didn't stop after saying a few words of blessing and turned away. Originally, when they saw Ji Ling coming, everyone thought that a better day was coming, but they didn't expect this to be the result.

"It turns out that most of the people selected by our academy are doing these things!"

"It's a bit ridiculous to think about it, I thought that I could become an official disciple of the Divine Sect by passing the selection of the Cultivator Academy. After coming to the southwest hall of the Xuanshui Sect, although his goal had decreased, he still thought that he could become an outer disciple of the Divine Sect. Now it seems that it was a joke!" For a while, except for Xuantian who did not speak, including Sima Ruyun, who was very steady in the past, also muttered to himself.

"I said senior sister, two senior brothers, and a junior brother! Can you listen to me? I'm looking at tomorrow's tryouts, we don't necessarily have no chances! If you don't even want to win, how can you achieve your own path as a cultivator step by step! To put it mildly, it's better to fish, farm, or do business like ordinary people!" Because he saw that everyone was in a pessimistic mood, Xuantian didn't leave any affection for everyone, and at this time, it was better to drink than anything.

As a result, just as Xuantian predicted, Sima Ruyun and Batianyun were the first to get rid of that pessimistic mood, and a wave of war spirit began to spread. In the end, under their drive, Su Yun and Ling Zhan also strengthened the hearts of cultivators, and the emotions of wanting to fight have been stimulated.

Nothing was said all night. In the early morning of the next day, the five Xuantian people waited early in front of the thatched hut that had accompanied them for three months, and the orange morning sun sprinkled on their young faces looked soft and comfortable. However, the turmoil in their hearts at this time is something that no one can detect. Just as they had been waiting for about half an hour, Ji Ling came from a distance.

"Trouble Senior Brother Ji Ling! Please take care of me!" Before Ji Ling approached, Sima Ruyun opened his mouth and thanked him.

"Don't thank me, this is the division of tasks at our southwest hall. I've been in charge of managing and contacting students like you all this time. Let's go, go early, and get familiar with the venue first. Ji Ling was as serious as usual, and after a few words of self-humility, he left the thatched house with the five Xuantian people. When parting, Xuantian unconsciously looked back a few times, after all, here he learned how to distinguish the spirit grass, how to cultivate the spirit grass, and even knew what the main medicine of some important pills was. Of course, here, he also successfully broke through to the seventh realm of the Kaiyuan Realm.

In this way, Xuantian and the others followed Ji Ling again, shuttling through the huge building complex at the entrance of the southwest hall, and after walking for about half an hour, the building complex in front of them seemed to be left behind at once, and there was an open field in front of them, which was very eye-catching, and there was a large ring in the center. There are some small rings around. It is said to be small, but each one is larger than the center ring of Linghai Academy.

"Don't look around, there is the main venue of this year's Outer Disciple Selection Competition. I heard that this year's host is Li Mingyang, the second elder of the hall. He is a master in the late stage of the Naling Realm, and his temper is not very good! I've got the point, so it's up to you!" Seeing Xuantian and the others looking around at the battle platform and the huge open area in front of them, Ji Ling had no choice but to give them a brief explanation. Because Ji Ling was the first to bring Xuantian here, as soon as Xuantian and the others arrived, Ji Ling went to guide other cultivators like Xuantian.

"Xuantian, why do you say there are so many rings here! Isn't it just a tryout, how many people can participate!" After seeing Ji Ling leave, Su Yun couldn't help but ask Xuantian questions.

"Senior sister, it is estimated that there will be no fewer people who will participate in the selection! Only 100 people will be selected, and at least 1,000 people will have to compete!"

"What, there are thousands of people to compete, so don't I have no chance!" Xuantian was originally saying something to Su Yun, but he was disrupted by Ling Zhan's words. Its realization is not only the five of them here, but also a small group of people in the open area, looking around like Xuantian and them. Because of the large area here, Xuantian was walking around and observing, and time passed little by little in this kind of walking.

After about another hour, more and more people began to gather here, and later, there was a tendency to fill the open field, but then it was not completely full. But to Xuantian's surprise, the number of people who came to participate in the selection was far more than 1,000, and it would not be an exaggeration to say 10,000. In fact, this is Xuantian's misunderstanding, although there are many people here, not all of them are here to participate in the selection, and many of them are official disciples in the southwest hall of Xuanshui Sect, that is, the outer disciples of Xuanshui Sect.
