Chapter 7 Don't want such a disciple

"Congratulations to ...... two"

"Damn!? Where is the wickedness!? โ€

The voice that suddenly appeared behind him frightened Wang Lu into a thrill, but he jumped up and turned around, only to find that at some point, there were two more young men in blue and white robes behind him, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, although the color of the robes was different, the style was similar to the two black and white brothers in Luojinqiao, they should be spiritual sword disciples.

The faces of the two disciples were indifferent, and one of the older ones arched his hand at Wang Lu and the scholar: "Disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect Xiaoyao Peak, I am Zhang Ying, this is Lu Ming." โ€

Wang Lu sighed.

"Congratulations to the two of you for climbing all the way to this point on the Golden Bridge, according to the rules of the master's gate, you can return to the mountain gate with our brothers and sisters and enter the Xiaoyao Peak to cultivate."

"......" Wang Lu frowned and said nothing.

Zhang Ying did not urge, and silently waited for Wang Lu's response.

After a while, Wang Lu was still silent, but the little scholar said softly: "This immortal, immortal, what do you mean...... We, already, have been taken over by your faction? โ€

Zhang Ying nodded: "Yes, that's right." โ€

Lu Ming added: "The Ascending Immortal Golden Bridge was built by the head of the sect to judge the qualifications of the monks. The better the qualifications, the farther you can go on the bridge, and if you can get here, you will meet the entry standard. โ€

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and was ecstatic: "This, is this true?" โ€

"It's true."

"Young Master! Did you hear that? We did it! We've been taken in by the Spirit Sword Sect! โ€

Wang Lu shook his head: "Excuse me, ......who are the two who fell off the golden bridge before?" โ€

Zhang Ying's face was slightly unnatural: "They? They are the senior brothers of the Ethereal Peak. โ€ยท

"Ethereal Peak? Loose Peak? What's the difference? โ€

Zhang Ying sank his face: "Why are you asking so much?" โ€

Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother, there's nothing to be embarrassed to admit...... Lingjian Mountain looks like a lone peak from the outside, but in fact there are many peaks, the so-called Xiaoyao Peak is actually the outer gate of Lingjian Mountain, and the Ethereal Peak is where the inner gate is located, but the two senior brothers are not the same as us. โ€

Wang Lu smiled: "I'll just say, those two black and white are obviously much bigger than the blue and white shelves of you two." Then he was a little suspicious, "However, the Spirit Sword Sect only relies on that golden bridge to admit newcomers?" Walk here and enter the outer door, and then what? What if you can enter the inner door in one breath? โ€

Lu Ming said: "Of course it can't be, the selection of the inner door of the Spirit Sword Sect is extremely strict, and the qualifications, temperament, and immortal fate must be above the level, otherwise with qualifications alone, even the Heavenly Spirit Root probably won't be able to enter the eyes of the Ethereal Peak Lord, right?" โ€

Wang Lu: "Day." โ€

"Huh?"

Wang Lu smiled: "It's nothing, so for us newcomers, what is the point of wanting to enter the inner door?" โ€

Zhang Ying snorted coldly: "Want to enter the Ethereal Peak? That's also simple, well, from here all the way forward is the Ethereal Peak, you can walk, the peak master will naturally accept you. โ€

Wang Lu looked in the direction of Zhang Ying's finger, and in front of the narrow road in the long valley, another cloud and mist covered the way.

"How far is it?"

Lu Ming smiled: "Then it's fate, maybe it's far away, or maybe it's close at hand, the road to immortal ascension is normal." โ€

Zhang Ying asked, "How are you going to choose?" Is it to go back to Xiaoyao Peak with us? Or continue on this path to immortality? As I explained in advance, after this village, there will be no such shop. โ€

Wang Lu said: "That is to say, if you choose to continue, you can only go all the way to the Ethereal Peak?" โ€

Zhang Ying sneered: "That's right, either go all the way to the Ethereal Peak and enter the inner gate of the Spirit Sword, or the road to immortal ascension will end and return to your red mortal world." Since you can't look down on us Xiaoyao Peak, don't expect us to be used as a guarantee, although Xiaoyao Peak is an outer door, you don't want sugarcane that people have chewed. โ€

"Do you want to say it so seriously? I don't think you're a third-class citizen of the Spirit Sword, and you can't be a waste of firewood. โ€

"What did you say!?"

Wang Lu shrugged: "In short, since you are here, and you know that the road to immortal ascension is not over, of course you have to go to the end in one go." โ€

"Hmph, don't regret it...... Don't think that Xiaoyao Peak is really inferior because it is an outer door, my Xiaoyao Peak senior brother is not much inferior to the true disciple. Among the 1,000 of you, there is not one in ten who can get here, so cherish your chance. โ€

At this time, the scholar also nodded in response: "Young master, why don't you ...... Let's go to Xiaoyao Peak, right? โ€

"If you want to go, you can go, why do you need to ask for my permission."

"Ah......" The scholar suddenly made a bitter face, "Young master, I was specially sent by the master to take care of you, how can I leave you alone......

Wang Lu smiled, looked at the scholar's wrinkled face, opened his mouth, and finally shook his head and said, "Anyway, I want to move forward, just follow if you want to." โ€

Zhang Ying glanced at the two of them.

"You two, don't regret it, let me remind you first, the second half of the path to immortal ascension is far more difficult than you imagined, and there have been no cases that have been successfully passed in the past three hundred years. In the past Immortal Ascension Conference, the disciples recruited were up to Xiaoyao Peak. The way for the Spirit Sword Sect to recruit inner disciples is for the elders of the sect to go out and look for immortal fate. Maybe ten years, maybe a hundred years can find a good seedling. But the road to immortality is almost impassable. โ€

"It doesn't matter, I have been professionally adventurous for decades, and my nickname is Ascension Immortal Kaisailu, so why worry about the difficulties and dangers."

Zhang Ying tilted his head: "...... Hmph, that's all I'm saying, you'll do it yourself! โ€

Wang Lu Ha smiled, and then waved goodbye to Lu Ming: "Then, Senior Brother Lu Ming, I look forward to seeing you again in the mountain gate in the future." โ€

Lu Ming also smiled: "There are a few newcomers I've seen before, none of them are as familiar as you, so I'll say one more thing, the road to immortal ascension is normal, and every grass and tree is fate." โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Is this a satire of someone's mercy? โ€

"Ha Luha, what do you mean to realize it yourself, I will be punished by the master if I say more, good luck to you!"

Zhang Yingyi pulled his junior brother: "Okay, I can't explain you like this...... The next wave seems to be coming, so let's get ready to welcome people. โ€

As the two spoke, they reached out and tore the mountain clouds around their ankles, and then slowly flew away from the valley and disappeared.

In the valley, Wang Lu and Wang Zhong's master and servant looked at each other.

"Young master, is it really okay to just give up like this?"

"Of course not, who said I was going to give up!? The level behind Xiaoyao Peak can make the world's talents helpless for more than 300 years, if you don't witness it with your own eyes, can you be willing? โ€

As a result, the scholar nodded very angrily: "Willing, very willing!" Young master, you can come to this point, I never dreamed of it, when you said that you were going to participate in the Spirit Sword Sect's immortal ascension conference, the people in the village thought you were crazy, before I went out, the old man also told me that if I was eliminated and came back, I could go to the nearby big city with the young master to relax, who thought young master you really ...... Really come this far? โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Which step? The real path to immortality has just begun, right? โ€

Looking at the scholar's puzzled gaze, Wang Lu made an exception to explain his strategy for him.

"There are three main points, the first is what the two blue and white said, the road to ascending to immortality is a test of multiple elements, qualifications, temperament, and chance, and now we have just passed the qualification level, no, it is not even a real qualification test, but it is just a threshold that must be passed, and you are embarrassed to say that the road to immortality has come to this point?"

"But ......"

"But Xiaoyao Peak has opened its doors? Don't be stupid, the second point, that Lan Bai just said that the senior brother of Xiaoyao Peak is not much worse than the true disciple, even if there is an exaggeration, but he should also be an excellent talent, but such an excellent senior brother, why is he still staying in Xiaoyao Peak? What is not an ethereal peak? โ€

"For, for, for what ......?"

"Just like the other people who come here and feel that they are amazing, and that it is a great honor to join Xiaoyao Peak...... That's the end of their limit. If you choose the easy difficulty, don't complain that you can't see the hidden plot. โ€

"Huh?"

"Forget it, you don't understand. What is the third point......

Wang Lu raised his head, his gaze became deeper in the clouds, but there seemed to be a flame burning in his pupils.

"As a raider, you should have the momentum to break through the clouds and the sky and break through all difficulties!"

"Huh!?"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ In short, I must continue to walk, follow you or not, anyway, those two blue and white have already slapped their butts and left, and it is impossible for you to turn back! โ€

Wang Lu said, picked up his luggage again, and strode forward.

"Besides, Wang Zhong, the next journey will probably be super long, get ready."

Wang Zhong, who was already a little tired, asked, "How long is it?" โ€

"If you use a storybook metaphor, it's about seven."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ That's really, really long. โ€

โ€”โ€”

"The ethereal road is not as easy to walk as the Spirit Sword Golden Bridge."

Above the long sea of clouds, an old man with gray hair stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.

"The senior brother in charge set today's meeting twelve years ago, and the world's elites gathered, which is indeed extraordinary, there are nearly 100 people who have walked through four-fifths of the Golden Bridge alone, but they are all geniuses who can enter Xiaoyao Peak with the spiritual root attribute alone."

A young black-and-white-robed monk beside him smiled and said, "Master, doesn't he already have a favorite candidate?" โ€

The old man was disdainful: "Hmph, walking across the golden bridge can only show that the quality of the spiritual root is acceptable, it is not so easy to enter my Ethereal Peak, this hundred people, in the end, there can be ten left, it is not bad." โ€

As he spoke, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Well, there's no need to be so strict."

On the clouds, the two monks, one old and one young, were startled, and when they turned their heads, they were even more frightened.

"Palm, senior brother in charge!?"

Suddenly appearing behind him was the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, Feng Yin Zhenren.

"Yo, don't be so nervous." Feng Yin Zhenren smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just here to take a look, behind the golden bridge is your ethereal peak of Senior Brother Liu Xian, this is the backbone of our mountain gate." โ€

Liu Xian's face was serious, and he bowed his head and said: "Back then, Senior Brother entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and Liu Xian never dared to slack off in the slightest. โ€

"You've worked hard all these years, looking at the grand occasion of the Ethereal Peak now, it's really hard to imagine the scene back then...... However, since this conference is specially held, there is no need to be too strict with newcomers, if there is a agreeable one, accept it. โ€

Liu Xian was a little embarrassed: "Senior brother, that's not in accordance with the rules." โ€

"Heh, the rules depend on the situation, the Spirit Sword Sect has withered for too long, don't you think it's time to be lively?"

"To be honest, I don't think it's enough to have one of the five junior sisters."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ I asked her to help design the Immortal Ascension Conference, but it turned out to be a mess for me, and my brain was about to explode in the past few days...... Well? I have the impression that this kid has quite good qualifications, and it is worth paying attention to. โ€

As he spoke, the real person pointed to the clouds, and the two villains who had been transformed into clouds came to life, and they were the two masters and servants from Wangjia Village.

Liu Xian was surprised: "Senior brother, are you very optimistic about them?" Well, these two guys did a good job on the Golden Bridge......"

"Heh, Jinqiao is just a gadget that you can do casually, you don't have to take it too seriously."

"Senior brother is humble, the Ascending Immortal Golden Bridge can accurately control the innate aura, the higher the quality of the spiritual root, the easier it is to naturally get the spiritual energy supplement, and it is easy to walk on the bridge, but the farther you go, the stronger the resistance, when the resistance and the power are equal, you can judge the best position of a person...... Although you can also overdraw your physical strength and continue to walk recklessly, if you consume too much physical strength on the golden bridge, you don't have to walk the road ahead. Although the principle is simple, the design is really ingenious, and it is best to use it to make a preliminary judgment of qualification. With the results of these two people, they should also be looked at differently by senior brothers. โ€

"Well, it's actually not me, it's Xiao Ling'er who is very optimistic about one of them...... It is said that the hellish quest chain was cracked. The qualifications are similar to what I saw before, between three or four grades, it's not bad. โ€

"So ......"

"It's okay, just follow the rules of Ethereal Peak, and it depends on his ability to go where he goes......"

As he spoke, a flaming sword talisman suddenly appeared, almost catching the master's beard.

"Huh!? Who's this? If you don't have anything to do, use the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman to find me...... Sure enough, it's you! Do? Is it the end of the law?! Has the demons invaded!? What the? Overtime? You still have to work overtime to hold an immortal promotion conference, do you want to face!? Forget it, there is something to meet! Ouch, I'm so angry, the primordial spirit is going to collapse......"

It took a few breaths for the wind to calm down his anger, but when he turned his head, the clear sky in his field of vision, and the clouds and mist surrounding the mountains were completely dispelled!

The young Spirit Sword Cultivator looked shocked, and Liu Xian was convinced: "The head of the sect is unparalleled in the world, and a trace of residual strength will break through the cloud and mist array of the Ethereal Peak...... The junior and younger brothers are convinced. โ€

"It's only broken the first layer, not to mention that it's nothing in the Kyushu Continent, hehe, I went to the Ten Thousand Immortals League for a meeting ten years ago, and several members of the Standing Committee are already in the cultivation period."

"Hmph, demonstrations?"

"Excuse me, I've been sleeping from beginning to end anyway...... Forget it, don't talk too much, I'll go first, otherwise my sister will burn a few more heavenly runes, and I will go bankrupt...... Senior brother, I will leave the matter of the Immortal Ascension Conference to you, don't care what I say, everything will follow the rules. โ€

After the head finished speaking, he walked away. Liu Xian sighed, and looked through the cloud and mist array at the bottom of the Ethereal Peak, and saw the master and servant walking in the canyon.

Is it ...... to be favored by the head and Xiao Ling'er at the same time? Although the head of the house said that everything came according to the rules, this kind of courtesy itself was already a violation of the rules.

"Focus on those two and hope they don't let me down...... Then, let's get ready for the logistics! โ€

The black-and-white monk nodded, and was about to leave......

"Oh yes, remember to tell your juniors and disciples to bring spirit stones and sword codex...... Alas, bring mahjong with you, this immortal ascension conference will probably take a long time, don't make it too boring......"

"Uh...... Master? โ€

"Hehe, remember to call your Uncle Zhou Ming, last time they won more than ten of our magic weapons through Mingfeng, this time I see that the master will help you win them back."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Master? โ€
