Midnight.

In a secluded courtyard in Tianxiao City, Su Qixue sat in the vermilion attic, her fingers caressing the strings, and slowly playing a light and pleasant piano song, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.

A maid brought fragrant tea, peeked at her expression, pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss has been frightened this time, but she has become smiling. ”

"I got a new guqin, so I was naturally happy. Su Qixue rubbed the green jade guqin, and her smile was even stronger.

"It's strange to say, why did the young lady get a guqin when she was in distress this time?" the maid wondered.

"Don't mention this again, be careful that Mother punishes you. Su Qixue said.

The maid's face turned pale, and she hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you Miss for your compassion, otherwise we will die and will not be redeemed." ”

"Alright, get up. This time, did you come out with "The Legend of the Array"? I want to see it. Su Qixue asked instead.

"The slave didn't know if she brought it or not, so she went to look for it. The maid agreed, and hurriedly went out to look for the book.

......

Heavenly Sword Sect, Dan Dao Academy.

After Ye Xuan returned to the sect, this year's sect trial was about to begin.

The sect trial is a test for the outer disciples, and if they perform well, they are likely to get the attention of the elders, and if they are accepted as registered disciples, then the future will be bright.

In addition, there are also rich rewards for the sect trial, according to the different rankings, you can get different amounts of Tianyuan Dan, and the top three can also get more precious treasures.

Regarding the reward of this year's sect trial, someone went to inquire about it early, and it spread a few days ago.

The top three disciples of this sect trial can choose the second level of exercise secrets among the various courtyards of the Heavenly Sword Sect at will.

After Ye Xuan heard about this reward, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

I have already practiced the first sword technique, and what I need most is the second one.

And the second sword trick of the stele forest rubbing is very expensive, and it requires the contribution of three thousand sects to redeem it.

Ordinary outer disciples, if they want to exchange for the second sword technique, it will take almost thirty years to accumulate the sect's contributions.

Of course, it is difficult for ordinary outer disciples to even practice the first sword technique, so naturally there is no need for the second one.

In the sect trial of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the disciples can choose to participate or choose not to participate, after all, not every outer disciple is confident that they can show their skills in the sect trial.

Dando Temple front yard.

The disciples of Dan Dao Academy, who announced that he was going to participate in the trial of the sect, all came to sign up.

Since most of the disciples with outstanding martial arts talent were divided into the three major academies of the Sword Dao Academy, the Imperial Sword Pavilion and the Heavenly Martial Academy, there were not many disciples in the Dan Dao Academy who wanted to participate in the sect trials.

After Fu Danshan announced his registration, the disciples who wanted to participate in this sect trial came out to sign up one after another.

After more than a dozen disciples signed up, Ye Xuan stepped forward to prepare to sign up.

At this time, a disciple walked two steps quickly to the front, and glared back at Ye Xuan, and signed the name on the registration post.

Ye Xuan felt that this person's eyes seemed to be hostile, and turned around and asked Wang Xuan'er, "Who is this person?"

"It's Senior Brother Liu Mingsheng. Wang Xuan'er replied in a low voice.

"Why is he glaring at me?" Ye Xuan asked again.

Wang Xuan'er hesitated for a moment before replying, "Maybe...... Maybe it's because Senior Brother Liu has been refining the Four Seasons Pulse Replenishing Pill for three seasons...... There was also the fact that Elder Fu originally planned to let Senior Brother Liu take charge of an alchemy room. ”

Ye Xuan understood as soon as he heard it, it turned out that he was the first to complete the reward of the Four Seasons Pulse Replenishing Pill, allowing him to refine most of the Four Seasons Pulse Replenishing Pill and give it up.

However, Ye Xuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, since it was a reward, it was whoever completed it first and who would take it.

As for the alchemy room, there are capable people living in it, and they don't steal, rob, or take away the things that they get in the back, and they deserve it.

After Liu Mingsheng finished registering, Ye Xuan also signed his name on the registration post.

This time, a total of eleven people from the Dan Dao Academy participated in the sect trial, and the number was only a fraction of the number of the three major courtyards.

Registration closes.

Fu Danshan announced: "Okay, the disciples who signed up for the sect's trial this time will go back and prepare well, don't embarrass our Dan Dao Academy." After the sect trial begins, everyone has to work together, our number is small, so we need to be united even more!

"Understood!" everyone agreed in unison.

The next day.

The Heavenly Sword Sect's sect trial officially began.

Tens of thousands of disciples gathered on the main peak of the Heavenly Sword, and the crowd was full of people, and the momentum was magnificent.

A total of 362 disciples participated in the sect's trial this time.

The Kendo Academy, the Imperial Sword Pavilion, and the Heavenly Martial Academy accounted for 300 of the 362 people, and the remaining 62 people came from the 22 large and small halls such as the Dandao Academy, the Refining Instrument Academy, the Spirit Stone Academy, and the Spirit Beast Academy.

Unlike the Dan Dao Academy, the competition for the number of places in the three major academies to participate in the sect trial is very fierce, and there are many disciples who want to participate in the trial, but the three major academies have a quota limit, and each academy has a hundred people.

Therefore, the disciples of the three major academies who were able to participate in the sect's trial were all after a struggle, and only the strong disciples were eligible to participate.

In previous years, the top three in the sect's trials would be taken by the three major academies, and the other academies were just foils, and this year will probably be no exception.

On the Heavenly Sword Floor, three hundred and sixty-two disciples stood in the branch library.

The disciples of the three major courtyards stood in the middle.

Ye Xuan's eleven Dan Dao Academy disciples stood in the second position on the left, next to them was the Refining Academy.

Guo Zitian and the disciples of the same academy changed positions, stood next to Ye Xuan, stretched out his hand and patted Ye Xuan's arm, and asked, "What kind of cultivation has you cultivated?" Don't be too low, otherwise you will be unlucky if you meet Hu Xianzhi." ”

"The Yuanwu realm is double. Ye Xuan replied.

Guo Zitian's expression instantly fell, and he said, "Just like me, then let's avoid Hu Xianzhi." Otherwise, it will be really miserable. I heard that Hu Xian had just broken through to the fifth level of the Yuanwu Realm not long ago, and it was terrifying to think about. ”

Isn't it scary?

Ye Xuan didn't think so, the four layers of the Yuan Martial Realm had been killed, and he just wanted to try what kind of strength the five layers of the Yuan Martial Realm was.

The hour has just passed.

An elder of the inner sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect ascended to the high platform of the Heavenly Sword Flat and read out the rules of the sect's trial in a loud voice.

"This sect trial is carried out in the Jianming Valley under the mountain, when the trial begins, everyone comes forward to receive a trial card, after entering the Jianming Valley, you can snatch the trial card from each other, and those who lose the trial card are out. The trial lasts for a total of three hours, and at the end of the time, the number of trial cards is ranked. The higher the ranking, the greater the rewards, and now distribute trial cards, and those who get trial cards can go. ”

After the trial rules were announced, the three hundred and sixty-two disciples who participated in the trial each received a trial card, and then went down the mountain separately and headed to the Sword Ming Valley.

As soon as they came out of Tianjian Ping, the disciples who participated in the trial gathered in groups of three or five and began to discuss fiercely.

Obviously, this is going to be a huddle.

Since the sect trial does not restrict group cooperation, the more companions you can woo, the more advantages you will have in competing for trial cards.

However, if a team gathers too many people, it is equivalent to giving up the competitive rankings.

This is because the final ranking is calculated based on the number of individual trial cards.

Unless one person is supplied with a team's trial cards, then there will inevitably be conflicts within the team, either trading interests or killing each other.
