After walking along the stone road for a while, Yao Ruoyu and the other four came to the top of the mountain.

The ancient trees on the top of Dawang Peak are towering to the sky, although they are consistent with the dense forest under the mountain, but they all have a bit of a kingly bearing, and the people who see it are refreshed, and any depression is inexplicably dispersed.

Walking along the stone path into the woods, after a while, the eyes of the four of them suddenly opened up, and it was an open meadow, with an old Taoist temple in the center, and a middle-aged female crown was standing in front of the view, looking at them indifferently.

When the four of them approached, the female crown said lightly: "This is the end of the first level, come and register." With that, she turned around and came to the side behind the wooden table, on which there was a roster and pen and ink, thinking that it should be to register the candidate's information.

Gongsun Zhan took the lead in taking out five candidate cards and handed them over, and said with a smile: "Junior, Gongsun Zhan." ”

Yue Jun and Li Shuyi also took out their candidate cards and handed them over, and after all three of them were registered, Yao Ruoyu took out all his more than 20 candidate cards.

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu actually won more than 20 candidate cards by herself, the female crown unconsciously showed a trace of surprise, and then recovered her indifference, and silently registered Yao Ruoyu's achievements in the book.

After registering, the four of them first walked to the green space outside the Taoist temple to sit down and rest, waiting for the arrival of other candidates.

A moment later, Mo Shu and Jiang Jihu arrived one after another and handed over the candidate cards in their hands.

Jiang Jihu's strength is not bad, and he won seven candidate cards, and Mo Shu is even more exaggerated, and there are actually sixteen candidate cards, if it is replaced by Yao Ruoyu and others before the arrival, the female crown will look at her differently, but after seeing Yao Ruoyu hand over more than 20 pieces, she really can't have any mood swings.

Jiang Jihu and Gongsun Zhan were born from the Jiang family in Yingtan and the Gongsun family in Shangrao respectively, Yingtan and Shangrao are not far away, and the two have known each other since childhood, so after seeing Jiang Jihu, Gongsun Zhan smiled and raised his hand and greeted: "Jihu, come and sit." ”

Jiang Jihu thought about it when he heard this, walked over according to the words, and said with his head bowed: "Miss Gongsun." ”

"I've known each other since I was a child, don't make it like a stranger, okay?" Gongsun Zhan was a self-acquaintance, pulled him to sit down with a smile, and introduced Yao Ruoyu and the others to him.

Previously, when Xie Li and the others in the palace clashed with Yao Ruoyu, Jiang Jihu had also spoken up, so they could be regarded as facing each other, and at that moment Yao Ruoyu hugged his fists and smiled: "Brother Jiang." ”

"Lord Wang. Jiang Jihu hesitated slightly, and also clenched his fists and saluted back.

Mo Shu didn't come over, but walked to the distance and sat down alone, and then looked around with a smile.

After a while, I saw Xie Li, Chang Taiping, and Lu Shan leading more than ten candidates to the Taoist temple, but the strange thing was that most of them were injured, as if they had just finished fighting with others.

Xie Li and the others also had a good harvest, Xie Li, Lu Shan, and Chang Taiping each handed over ten candidate cards, and the rest of the people ranged from three to five.

Soon after Xie Li and the others arrived, Zhao Fa and Tong Fu also led seven or eight people to the top of the mountain, but they all had blue noses and swollen faces, except for Zhao Fa and Tong Fu, the other seven or eight people were injured one by one.

Seeing Xie Li and the others, Zhao Fa's eyes suddenly burst into flames, but this was the end of the first level, and he didn't dare to attack in front of the examiner, especially when he turned his head and saw Mo Shu looking at them with a smile not far away, his body suddenly shook, and his expression was distorted, and he led people to the female crown to hand over the candidate card.

Compared with the harvest of Xie Li and others, Zhao Fa and others are shabby, everyone actually only has two candidate cards, and Yao Ruoyu who saw it was secretly curious.

After a stick of incense, more than ten people rushed to the top of the mountain, including Ni Chan and Tang Jing, Tang Jing's clothes were a little embarrassed, obviously after a fierce battle, Ni Chan was like no one, looking relaxed.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu and others sitting not far away, after Ni Chan handed over the candidate card, she stepped over with a big axe and said with a smile: "How did you get it?"

Among the few people here, only Yao Ruoyu and Ni Chan are familiar with each other, so only Yao Ruoyu replied: "Not bad, what about you?"

"I was unlucky enough to run into seven people. Shrugging, Ni Chan smiled.

sat down next to Yao Ruoyu very familiarly, Ni Chan threw the big axe aside, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen these people, do you know?" Ni Chan, a native of Yongchuan, Chongqing." ”

"Ni Chan, strange woman?" Ni Chan had just reported to her home, and Yue Jun glared at her and exclaimed.

"Oh, I think I heard some rude call just now?" Ni Chan smiled slightly, as if she was very happy, but her right hand had already quietly touched the handle of the big axe.

"Ahem," Gongsun Zhan hurriedly held down Yue Jun when he saw this, and said with a smile, "I have heard the name of Miss Ni for a long time, the little girl Gongsun Zhan, this is Yue Jun and Jiang Jihu, by the way, who is this little sister?"

Seeing everyone looking over, Li Shuyi's pretty face was slightly red, and she quickly replied, "Li Shuyi." ”

"This little sister has a distressing face!" Seeing Li Shuyi's shyness, Ni Chan suddenly laughed.

"You female rascal," smiled and patted Ni Chan's shoulder, Yao Ruoyu was about to speak, but when he saw that everyone was surprised to look at him, he was stunned, and then reacted, quickly withdrew his hand, and said embarrassedly, "The habitual action of talking to my sister at home, I'm sorry to ......."

The defense of men and women in the Song Dynasty is not strict, but it is not open, it is okay for everyone to talk together just now, but if Yao Ruoyu has a direct skin-to-skin relationship with Ni Chan just now, it is already out of bounds, no wonder everyone has such a surprised gaze.

However, Ni Chan is a self-acquainted character, so she didn't care about this, she just patted Yao Ruoyu's shoulder casually, and scolded with a smile: "The old lady must be older than you, so it's your sister." ”

Although she just patted it casually, Yao Ruoyu felt a pain in his shoulder, if he hadn't instinctively shrunk his shoulder, and at the same time used the spiritual method to protect himself, I am afraid that half of his arm would be numb now.

Looking at Ni Chan with some horror, Yao Ruoyu only understood the meaning of the "strange power girl" that Yue Jun said just now.

Just when everyone was laughing, the female crown suddenly flicked her robe, and an invisible force instantly suppressed the audience, covering all the sounds, only the gentle wind on the top of the mountain still blew on the green space in front of the Taoist temple.

"The time has come, and candidates who have not yet arrived will be regarded as failures, and I have registered all your results. ”

Hearing the words of the female crown, Yue Jun couldn't help but turn his head and count, and found that there were only more than forty people who passed the first level, which was equivalent to saying that more than half of them had been eliminated in the first level alone.

"Next, it's going to be the second level. ”

Speaking of this, the female crown raised her hand, and then everyone felt a surging and majestic spiritual energy gushing out from under their bodies, but this huge spiritual energy was as soft as warm water, without the slightest rage and restlessness, and after gushing out, it turned into a brilliant halo of colorful light, completely enveloping the entire green space.

Just when everyone was attracted by the brilliant halo in the sky, everyone felt their bodies sink, and an indescribable force suddenly wrapped their bodies, dragging them into the sky, either instantly, or for a long time, in short, when everyone regained consciousness, they found that they had actually left the peak of Dawang Peak and appeared in front of a valley mouth.

"Teleportation Spirit Array?" a young girl couldn't help but exclaim.

Most of these candidates are from extraordinary backgrounds, and their knowledge is naturally not weak, but even with their family background, they have never been able to come into contact with such expensive things as the Teleportation Spirit Array in the past, so they all showed surprised looks.

Just when everyone was in a slight commotion because of the teleportation spirit array, a cough suddenly sounded, and immediately suppressed everyone's voices, and then saw a man walking out of the valley, it was the young man who had previously handed out the candidate badge to everyone in the Wuyi Palace.

"Congratulations on passing the first level, and then the second level," the man turned around and pointed to the valley behind him, and said lightly, "This is a place we specially use to cultivate spiritual objects, there are eight spirit trees at the mouth of the valley, unless you carry a pass token, once you step into it, you will be attacked by the spirit tree." ”

Glancing at everyone, the man suddenly showed a smile: "What you need to do is to pass through the blockade of these eight spirit trees without a token." ”

When Lu Shan heard this, he immediately grinned: "Isn't it just being beaten? As he spoke, he wanted to be the first to break through.

Chang Taiping stopped him, then looked at the man, and said solemnly: "Senior, since this is the place where Evergreen Valley cultivates spiritual objects, it should be necessary to resist people above the five realms, and we are all three realms, I'm afraid we can't stop the attacks of these spirit trees, right?"

Smiling, the man bowed his head and said, "Yes, if it is according to common sense, you really can't stop it, but since this is an entry assessment, of course we will adjust the strength of the Spirit Tree's attack." ”

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, otherwise if they were allowed to deal with the Spirit Tree with the strength of the Five Realms, it would be simply looking for death.

Under the leadership of the man, more than 40 candidates walked into the valley together, and not far away, they saw that the valley road in front of them suddenly tightened, leaving only the width of one person to pass.

After signaling everyone to stop, the man said lightly: "This is the second level, as long as you can pass this narrow road, you can pass the level." ”

Ni Chan looked left and right, and said curiously: "Didn't you see the spirit tree, are you hiding?"

Yao Ruoyu and the others couldn't help but glance around a few times when they heard this, but they didn't find any spirit trees, and suddenly, Gongsun Zhan looked up with realization, and exclaimed, "On it." ”

Everyone hurriedly looked up, and saw that at the top of the valley wall on both sides, there were eight huge and towering ancient trees, each ancient tree was more than ten zhang high, the crown was like a hat, and the thick branches hung with oval green fruits, revealing a deep breath.
