After stopping and listening for a long time, Chen Jing learned that today was the day when Xuanzong opened the mountain to accept disciples, and all those around the city who met the conditions wanted to try their luck, and if they were lucky enough to be selected, it would be worth it.

Although he was told that he had no talent for cultivating before, Chen Jing still couldn't suppress his curiosity, and when he saw that it was still early, he followed the flow of people to the registration point in the south of the city.

I saw that in a vacant lot adjacent to the street, a ten-meter-high pavilion was built overnight, surrounded by flags painted with the badge of the sect, there was a staircase on each side for people to enter and exit, and four disciples were there to maintain order, through this staircase you can enter the attic, that is, the place where the registration fee is collected, there is a desk, placed with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, four Xuanzong disciples are on the left and right, and a disciple is busy writing down the people who came to register, not far behind him, in a house separated by wooden boards, an elderly man can be faintly seen sitting cross-legged through the door curtain, his eyes slightly closed, not affected by the surrounding noisy environment at all。

The registration team is moving forward in an orderly manner, and there are many people watching the excitement under the attic, all of them are happily discussing, which is nothing more than how big the pomp and circumstance of Xuanzong is, where is the sect powerful, and how talented the son of the family is. Chen Jing followed the flow of people to the front of the attic, and listened to others talk about Xuanzong's requirements for accepting disciples, and there were only two: under the age of sixteen, the registration fee of one hundred taels of silver.

Chen Jing was stunned when he heard this, his age was good, he already knew that if he reached the age of sixteen and had not yet entered the Qi Gathering Realm, his body would have grown up, and he would no longer be able to communicate with heaven and earth, and there was no hope of cultivating immortals in this life, this was the reason of heaven and earth, and he could not refute it.

Not to mention that ordinary people only buy and sell copper, you must know that one hundred taels is enough to support the expenses of an ordinary family of five for several years, and the total income of the blacksmith shop is less than sixty taels a year, which is several times the income of ordinary people, what he doesn't know is that no one will be disgusted with a lot of money, let alone Xuanzong.

Of course, the main reason: he has no money.

Chen Jing carefully calculated, when he came out last year, his father gave him fifty taels, but he has not spent a penny so far, Uncle Tie has given ten taels of wages in the past year, and now he only has sixty taels on him, how can he sign up and borrow from Uncle Tie? Uncle Tie, the drunkard, doesn't seem to have saved any money. Thinking of this, Chen Jing went back stupidly.

It was dusk when I returned to the shop, and the smell of rice wafted in the courtyard, and then I heard Uncle Tie beckoning to come over for dinner.

He relayed General Liu's words to Uncle Tie, and ate by himself, Uncle Tie picked up the wooden box and walked out of the courtyard, presumably it was some kind of secret thing.

After a week, Chen Jing will run to the registration office after finishing work every day, he can't register his name, look at the excitement, listen to everyone's gossip, after a few days of observation, Chen Jing also learned some information, such as now standing in the center of the attic and talking and laughing with the disciples of the Lan family, Lan Fengluan, a very dazzling dress, the family is a famous silk merchant, the business involves several nearby cities, the annual income is worth half a year's tax in the city, Lan Fengluan is the son of the family, but has no intention of inheriting the family's industry, and is more interested in cultivating immortals and entering the Tao, I heard that he is only thirteen years old this year, but he has already sensed the vitality of heaven and earth a year ago and successfully entered the Qi Gathering Realm. The black guy who was wearing a beast skin suit and lined up alone at the back of the crowd, called Bai Lin, came from the village near the white forest, Baimu Village, Baimu Village was built according to the forest, hunting for a living, all the people in the village were good hunters, because he grew up in that environment since he was a child, Bai Lin looked a head taller than the average guy, standing in the team is extremely eye-catching, this time the village made up a hundred taels of silver, is to hope that Bai Lin can achieve something, can make the village end the danger of being attacked by wild beasts. In addition, there are many various characters from the outer city, all of whom are coming for the cultivation of immortals.

After watching the excitement, Chen Jing returned to the shop bored, and Uncle Tie was concentrating on refining the equipment in his hand, which seemed to be a sword.

"Chen Jing, don't be stunned, give me the silver sand on the table. ”

"Okay. Chen Jing quickly picked up the jar on the table, sprinkled the white powder inside evenly on the red sword embryo, and then there was another beating, so repeatedly, suddenly, with a ding, the unformed sword body broke into two pieces and fell to the ground. Uncle Tie threw the section in his hand into the pool, sighed, and said to his son, "Tietou, put out the fire, come back tomorrow." ”

After that, he turned to look at Chen Jing, "What have you been doing these days, you can't see anyone all the time. Chen Jing muttered about her experience in the past few days.

Uncle Tie pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Jing, do you want to cultivate immortals?"

"Yes, I've dreamed of it, but I'm almost sixteen. ”

"Fast sixteen is not sixteen yet, as long as you want to go, Uncle will definitely support you. Uncle Tie patted his chest and said.

"But..."

"No, your father and I have a lifelong relationship, he asked me to take care of you, I must do it. ”

"But when my father heard that I wanted to cultivate immortals, he told me a bunch of big truths, but he didn't let me go. Uncle Tie was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and said: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, your father didn't know how much he wanted to go to Xuanzong to cultivate when he was a child, but people didn't want him, so he nagged me about this for many years." Chen Jing didn't expect her father to have this deed.

Uncle Tie continued, "If it weren't for the fact that your eldest brother Tietou's family was poor when he was a child, and he couldn't get a hundred taels by smashing pots and selling iron, I would have sent him there a long time ago." I'm twenty now, and I definitely can't go. If you really want to go, I'll help you. ”

"But I don't have any money. Chen Jing said weakly.

"Hahaha, isn't it just a hundred taels, no problem. ”

"I don't need a hundred, I have sixty taels myself, only forty taels is enough. Chen Jing said with his fingers.

"That's left for your living expenses, don't starve yourself. I've heard that you won't be able to get out of it for a while. You don't have to worry about money. ”

"Thank you, thank you, uncle. Chen Jing said excitedly.

The next day, Chen Jing came to the registration office in the east of the city with one hundred taels of silver given by Uncle Tie, it was still so hot, and followed the line to the table, Chen Jing looked up at the door curtain and found that the elders inside were still in that posture, and when he came to the disciple of the note, he glanced up at Chen Jing and asked, "Name?"

"Chen Jing. Chen Jing replied.

"Chen Jing? After he recorded his name, he took out a bronze medal from the side and handed it to Chen Jing, saying, "This is the exam voucher after that, if you lose it, you will bear the consequences, okay, go down." ”

The arrogant attitude of the disciple made Chen Jing very unhappy, and he raised his hand to look at the brand in his hand, which was cast from ordinary copper, with the word "Xuan" on the front and a picture of green mountains and green waters on the back, which was a bit dusty. Put away the token and walk downstairs without looking back.

As soon as he walked downstairs, he saw that Uncle Tie seemed to be arguing with someone about something, Chen Jing took a closer look, it turned out to be Lan Zhang, a nouveau riche who lived in the east of the city, Lan Zhang was Lan Fengluan's cousin, he liked to spend all day drinking, and he was able to monopolize the east of the city by relying on the relationship between his cousins, striking iron guy and other terms emerge in endlessly.

At this time, seeing Chen Jing coming down from upstairs, Lan Zhang's eyebrows curled, and he said, "Hey, Lao Tie, this is the son of your friend? It won't be your illegitimate son, your wife will go back to her hometown to keep filial piety to your mother, and you will have a friend's son, who believes this." Uncle Tie suppressed his anger and was about to say something, but Lan Zhang said again: "It's not right, you are so strong, how can you have such a thin son, it's my mistake." ”

"Your grandmother, don't just play tricks, have a real fight. Chen Jing immediately suppressed Uncle Tie, who was about to have a seizure. looked at Lan Zhang, who was proud of the corners of his mouth on the opposite side, and Lan Kun, who was watching the play indifferently with his hands on his chest, and pretended to be surprised and said: "Wow, aren't you the rich man of Landa, I admire you very much, I heard that your mouth is closed one by one, and a few hundred taels of silver will be in your hands, and the money in the family will not be used up, if there is another son to inherit the family business, then your life is really perfect." ”

Lan Zhang was very proud when he heard this, and thought for a while, no, don't I have a son, and said, "Fart, who is this not my son?" After speaking, he pointed at Lan Fengqian.

"Oh, doesn't the rich man of Lan know your own nickname?" Chen Jing pretended to think for a while, "Everyone calls you a green-headed turtle, and they all say that you are a red flag outside the house, and the green flag is fluttering in the house." ”

Lan Kun looked at Chen Jing coldly, while Lan Zhang was very angry and waved his hand, "Kill them." Immediately, four or five thugs surrounded Chen Jing and the two, and when they were about to make a move, a gust of wind struck, blowing them back, and they staggered and fell to the ground. Chen Jing is protected by Uncle Tie, but it has no effect.

"Xuanzong region, forbidden fighting, do you want to disobey?"

Everyone followed the sound and looked at the elderly, and the elder on the seat had stood up at some point, looking coldly at the people below.

"Don't dare. Everyone shook the ground, saw that the elder didn't say anything more, and slowly retreated.

Chen Jing looked at the condescending elder, thinking about the magical immortal method, her eyes lit up, "That's the immortal method, is that what I want to learn?"
