Chapter 35: Getting Started
Chapter 35 Introduction
"But this time, our senior brother will naturally not release the water. After all, the low-level disciples who have recently entered the sect, whether they are cultivating or spiritual roots, are indeed too bad, it seems that some elders in the sect can't look past it, and specially reminded the head of the sect a few words. So according to the meaning of the boss, this time it is better to lack than to abuse. ”
"It's better to have less than to overuse. If you do this, it would be good to be able to accept enough 100 disciples this time, and those people outside the door today will have to go back to their homes in ten places. The white-faced young man looked at the group of loose cultivators in front of him and said with some contempt.
"Senior disciple, don't underestimate these casual cultivators, there may really be some buried talents among them, maybe they can't be said. Think about that senior brother Qiushui, who also entered our faction as a casual cultivator. But after only two or three years of hard work, the foundation was successfully built. Although there is a reason why he chose the right exercises and was given a Tsukidan, it is also related to his qualifications as one in a thousand. The square-faced senior brother glanced at the white-faced young man from a big family, and said with a faint expression.
"Ahem. What the senior brother said was that the junior brother's words were a little inappropriate. As soon as the white-faced young man heard what the other party said, he immediately remembered something, hurriedly coughed a few times, and responded with a smile. seems to be a little jealous of this square-faced senior brother.
"Senior Brother......" Senior Brother Square-faced seemed to have something to say to the young man, but Zhou Moyang had no interest in listening, and immediately withdrew his thoughts, restrained his breath, and closed his eyes to recuperate. With this level of cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem for him to enter this Zixiao Palace.
After waiting for another hour, the number of monks who came up from the stone steps at the bottom of the mountain began to increase. Finally, when the sun was about to set, there were already more than 100 monks sitting in this platform square, of which the vast majority of them were young male and female monks in the Qi cultivation period, and there were not a few foundation building monks, and they were generally older.
At this moment, a large red light suddenly appeared on the stone pavilion in front of him, and then in the glow, the stone pavilion suddenly disappeared, replaced by a huge pavilion seven or eight feet high, and three figures standing in front of it.
"Welcome all fellow Daoists to our Purple Night Palace. Next, our senior brothers will be responsible for the selection of disciples this time. Please listen to Nie's words quietly and clearly, and don't miss anything. Senior Brother Fang's face swept over the people in front of him with a sharp gaze, and said calmly and unhurriedly.
Seeing the strange scene in front of them, and then hearing the words of the square-faced senior brother, all the monks on the platform were surprised for a while, and they didn't dare to slack off and stood up one after another, making expressions of attentive listening. They knew that whether or not they could enter the Purple Night Palace, a great sect of immortal cultivators, completely depended on the three in front of them, and naturally they didn't dare to leave any bad impression on these three people.
Seeing that these casual cultivators and the family disciples were very interesting, and they didn't look like they were in a mess, Senior Brother Fang's face also showed a satisfied expression on his face. "Presumably, over the years, the standard for the inclusion of disciples in this sect, all Taoist friends should know. I won't say anything more here. Below, all the Taoist friends who have a heavenly spirit root or a strange spirit root can stand up first. Senior Brother Fang's face said slowly, revealing a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, there was a commotion in the crowd, and after a while, only four people stood up, three men and one woman. "You guys go with this Senior Brother Bai, he is responsible for evaluating the cultivation qualifications of several people." After a cold glance, Senior Brother Fang-faced said calmly. At this moment, the white-faced young man beside him took two steps forward at the same time, and as soon as he raised his hand without saying a word, a white light flew out from his sleeve, and after hovering, it turned into a huge brocade handkerchief, floating gently a few feet above the ground.
"You all come up, I'll take you to another place, and after checking your qualifications, you will naturally be sent back if you don't pass it." After the white-faced young man's figure flashed, he first stood on the Jinpa Spirit Weapon and said expressionlessly. The four men and women glanced at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, they still honestly got on the Jinpa. The young man in white made a decision, and the white light was full of light, and the brocade turned into a ball of white mang, and flew away through the sky.
After seeing the white-faced young man leave, Senior Brother Fang-faced turned his face to look at the remaining Zhou Moyang and the others, and continued with a slightly slower expression, "Daoist friends whose exercises below are above the foundation building, come out." You go with Brother Ying. As long as there is no big problem with the background, you can join the door. As for the rest of the Taoists, if they want to worship under this sect, they must go through a test. If you can pass the level, we will accept it in Zixiao Palace, otherwise please devote yourself to cultivation for a few more years, and try again after the next cultivation is refined. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion in the originally quiet crowd, and except for a few people, most of the scattered cultivators showed disappointed looks. The selection criteria this time are obviously much stricter than the last time. This made those monks who had a hint of luck very frustrated.
Although there is still a sentence at the end that you can participate in the test, it doesn't seem to block the way. But everyone knows that this is just some routine kind words. After all, so many people are here, and of course Zixiao Palace can't pass away without giving a chance on his face.
But these tests are naturally extremely difficult for monks below the foundation period. There is basically no hope at all. In previous tests, only a handful of people were able to pass the test.
These people who pass may not be able to cultivate their qualifications, but in terms of perseverance, they will definitely be outstanding. Therefore, even if they don't have much hope on the path of cultivation, they may be able to make achievements in other miscellaneous studies. Zixiao Palace does not reject these people.
In the midst of many envious eyes, Zhou Moyang and six other monks walked out. The square-faced senior brother glanced at it for a moment, and then nodded. Seeing this, the heroic young man did not delay any longer, and also released a flying spirit weapon. A huge round copper bowl appeared in front of Zhou Moyang and the others. This time, without the young man saying anything, Zhou Moyang and those monks obediently went to the round bowl one after another.
At that moment, the copper bowl turned into a yellow man, flew away from here, and went straight to the depths of the Ziyun Mountain Range. As for the remaining scattered cultivators and family disciples who were not qualified enough, whether anyone would participate in the test to enter the Zixiao Palace, Zhou Moyang could not witness it, and he didn't care at all.
At this moment, he looked at the six people who were with him with great interest in the yellow shield of the bronze bowl. Four men and two women, except for a quiet woman in yellow in her twenties, the rest of them all looked like they were forty years old. Even one of the green-robed monks looked to be in his fifties, although on the surface, he had a mid-stage foundation building cultivation, but it still made Zhou Moyang sigh thoughtfully and shake his head.
If a low-level cultivator with not very good qualifications wants to cultivate beyond the foundation building period, if he doesn't have any chance, the time spent on cultivation will definitely be far better than ordinary people. Back then, with the qualifications of the four pseudo-spiritual roots, if he hadn't obtained the three treasures of foundation building "Millennium Frunze" that he had the opportunity to come to, I am afraid that it would be difficult to build a foundation at the same age as this green-robed monk, let alone enter any great sect of immortal cultivation.
Zhou Moyang thought back to his experience over the years, and he was unexpectedly distracted. Then he came back to his senses and looked at the rest of the group. The rest of the people didn't seem to have anything special, and all of them were full of excitement. Just when Zhou Moyang was secretly thinking alone, a huge copper bowl suddenly appeared in front of a boundless sea of fog, driven by the young man surnamed Na Ying.
At a glance of this sea of fog, the white gas was tumbling, extremely dense, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder coming from inside, which seemed to be extraordinary. Zhou Moyang's heart moved, and his divine sense swept it tentatively, but he only stretched into the sea of fog for more than ten zhang, and he was blocked by something and couldn't pass through.
Zhou Moyang's heart sank, knowing that this white mist was not an ordinary prohibition, most of it was a powerful forbidden method produced by this Purple Night Palace Protector Array, so he didn't dare to test it recklessly, and hurriedly withdrew that wisp of divine thought. And those few casual cultivators who were with Zhou Moyang looked at the boundless sea of fog in front of them, and their faces showed expressions of awe.
Although they rarely came into contact with any mountain protection formations, the amazing forbidden magic scene in front of them was enough to open their eyes. At this time, the young man surnamed Ying changed the law in his hand, and the flying spirit weapon slowly stopped, and then casually put it into the storage bag and took out a cyan array flag.
In front of Zhou Moyang and the others, the young man had words in his mouth, and the cyan array flag in his hand began to emerge with pale cyan thorns, and it became more and more dazzling. "Open." As soon as the young man surnamed Ying finished reciting the mantra, he immediately pointed at the white mist in front of him with a formation flag with his eyes wide. A thick cyan pillar of light shot out from the tip of the flag, piercing straight into the sea of fog.
An astonishing scene appeared. In the rest of the place, the fog rolled as before, but a small sea of fog in front of him suddenly calmed down, and then a clear groan came out, and the white gas separated in two, and a passage two or three feet wide appeared in front of him.
Seeing this scene, the young man surnamed Ying did not dare to slack off, and as soon as he urged the spiritual weapon under his feet, he immediately flew into the passage with several people, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. It didn't take long for this open passage to close silently and automatically, and then the wind and thunder sounded again.
And Zhou Moyang and his entourage, after a cup of tea, finally passed through the sea of fog and appeared in a paradise. Before he could see anything clearly, a thick aura came to his face, Zhou Moyang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then he looked at it with joy in his heart.
It's a big world, full of verdant greenery, birds singing and flowers, and several giant peaks as high as more than 1,000 zhang appear in front of you. And around these peaks, there are countless houses, large and small houses, palaces and pavilions. Many monks in different clothes were flying in and out, as if they were very busy. >
