Chapter 016: The Trial Begins
Qiyun Sect, Outer Gate.
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight had just shone on the outer mountains of Qishan, but there were already quite a few outer disciples who had already started a day's cultivation.
This day is only the tenth day that the new outer disciples have just come to Qiyun Sect, but many people have slowly become accustomed to life here, except for the tasks that must be completed every month, in fact, this place can really be regarded as a paradise on earth.
Shen Xiao and Shen Ying live in a separate courtyard, although Shen Ying's identity on the face is Shen Xiao's servant, but in fact, Shen Ying doesn't need to do anything on weekdays, most of the time, she runs to her brother Shen Li's house to help him cook and clean up.
For Shen Ying, being able to be with her brother Shen Li is the happiest thing, and as for whether she can cultivate, it is secondary.
However, how could Shen Li really allow Shen Ying to waste his innate cultivation talent of the Four Divine Patterns?
What's more, if Shen Li wants to take revenge in the future, he can't rely on him alone, he still understands the truth that there are many people and great power.
Shen Ying, as his younger sister, although she is not her own sister, but for more than ten years, Shen Li has long regarded him as a relative who is closer than her own sister.
Although the exercises of the Qiyun Sect could not be passed on to Shen Ying, in his previous life, Shen Li was a nine-star Divine Pattern Sect Master, and those powerhouses in the Returning Yuan Realm took the initiative to teach him the exercises they cultivated, not to mention the countless exercises offered by the hands of those martial artists who broke through the Xuan Realm.
At this time, the exercises in Shen Li's mind, if he took out any of them, they were several times better than the "Thousand Forging Broken Star Decision".
Moreover, Shen Li had made up a nonsensical Divine Pattern Grandmaster Master in advance, so even if Shen Li taught Shen Ying some exercises, it would be understandable.
In the past few days, Shen Li went to the Divine Forging Hall on time every day to complete the task, wielding the Xuaniron Hammer to forge the cold ice Xuantie 10,000 times, and then returned to his own house, repeating the cycle.
Shen Li was waiting, waiting for the news that Qiyun Sect had made an exception to let him enter the inner gate, but unfortunately, 10 days had passed, but there was still no news at all, which made him feel a little impatient in his heart.
At this moment, the bell of the outer gate of the Qiyun Sect rang, and all the outer disciples were stunned, but they quickly put down the things in their hands and quickly ran towards the large square of the outer gate.
Shen Li and the other new disciples, although they didn't understand what was happening, saw those outer disciples who had already joined the Qiyun Sect running towards the square, and they hurriedly ran over with them.
Soon, the disciples of the outer sect of the Qiyun Sect, which were thousands of meters, all gathered in the wide square.
On the high platform opposite the square, the three elders of the outer gate rarely all appeared, but today they were not the protagonists.
At this time, an old man wearing a dark cyan robe and some gray hair stood in the center, while the three elders, including He Ziming, honestly took a step back and stood behind the old man.
The old man didn't have any expression on his face, a pair of sword eyebrows were like two ice blades, his eyes were like electricity, and the people he had scanned suddenly seemed to be shrouded in cold, and he couldn't help but shudder.
The disciples who had been in the outer gate of the Qiyun Sect for a long time were quietly introduced, and Shen Li and the other new disciples knew that originally, this old man was the elder of the inner gate of the Qiyun Sect.
The most important thing in a sect is the exercises, and the elders who are responsible for passing on the exercises are the most important people in the sect.
It can be said that in addition to the sect master, the Qiyun Sect Elder is the person with the highest status.
Of course, this does not include the legendary Elder Taishang of Qiyun Sect, who is a legendary figure with the peak cultivation of the Spirit Realm.
You must know that now after tens of thousands of years of inheritance in the Xuanyuan Continent, especially in the last few hundred years, the human race has the absolute upper hand, and the Xuanyuan Beast race has never launched an attack on the human race at all, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and has long forgotten the days of blood and fire for thousands of years.
The strong men of the human race are either hidden from the world or have no trace, and now the strongest martial artist on the bright side is just a smart realm.
As for the martial artists of the Transformation God Realm, there are only less than 5 people in the entire nine states of the Xuanyuan Continent.
As the state lord of Yuezhou, one of the nine major states, Chu Yunmad was only a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Realm.
Qiyun Sect, as the largest sect in Qishan County and also the top three major sects in the entire Yuezhou, being able to have a Supreme Elder who has cultivated at the peak of the Spirit Realm is enough to stabilize the status of his sect.
And at the moment, this Elder of the Transmission Sect is actually just a cultivator at the peak of the Returning Yuan Realm.
"Why did Elder Chuangong suddenly appear at the outer gate today, what's the matter?"
"Elder Chuangong doesn't want to see it on weekdays! Even if it's a triennial outer disciple competition, he doesn't often appear. What the hell is going on today?"
Some of the old disciples who had joined the Qiyun Sect for some years were talking in whispers, their faces full of doubt.
A few people seemed to have guessed something, but they weren't sure, they just looked at the Elder Chuangong and waited quietly.
"Silence!" He Ziming snorted coldly, and his gaze quickly swept over all the disciples.
The large square, which was originally a little noisy, fell into a dead silence in an instant, and the falling needles could be heard.
Everyone knew that Elder Chuangong must have something big to announce.
"Open the Yunguang Cave today! All the disciples who can pass the assessment of the Yunguang Cave will have the opportunity to enter the inner gate exceptionally. Elder Chuangong didn't talk nonsense, and said directly.
"What? It's really going to open the Cloud Light Cave! Great!" The disciples who had guessed it a long time ago suddenly became excited.
Shen Li and other new disciples had heard of the "Yunguang Cave" for the first time, and they didn't know what the place was, but they all remembered the last words of the Elder Chuangong.
As long as you can pass the assessment of Yunguang Cave, you will be able to enter the inner gate exceptionally, which is what all outer disciples are most concerned about and look forward to.
The Yunguang Cave of Qiyun Sect was originally only opened once in five years, after all, opening the Yunguang Cave once required a huge amount of Xuanjing, even as the largest sect in Qishan County, could not afford such a large consumption.
Xuanjing is an extremely rare crystal in the Xuanyuan Continent that contains a large amount of Xuanqi of heaven and earth, which can be used to restore the Xuanqi in the body of a martial artist, and it is also a precious material used by the Divine Tattoo Masters to build and set up formations.
A piece of thumb-sized Xuanjing is worth 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, and it is priceless, and ordinary martial artists can't even think of buying it.
There are only ninety-nine Xuanjing veins in the entire Xuanyuan Continent that can be mined.
Distributed to the nine major states, each of the major states is only about ten, and the annual output is not much, and each vein is strictly controlled by the sect.
In the underground of Qiyun Sect, there is a fairly good vein of Xuanjing, which can produce less than 10,000 Xuanjing every year.
And to open the Cloud Light Cave once, it will cost at least 5,000 yuan, so even the Qi Cloud Sect with deep pockets will only open the Cloud Light Cave once every five years.
Shen Li and the other new disciples, after listening to the excited introductions of those old disciples, all became excited.
Yunguang Cave is not only a place for assessment, but also a good place to quench the body in the assessment.
"Okay! Everyone enters the Yunguang Cave in order, and the disciples who have just started this year will enter last!" He Ziming shouted loudly.
