Time flies, and more than a month has passed.

During this period of time, after Ling Xingnan usually participated in the normal deliberations of the Elder Group and the City Lord's Mansion in Boran City, as well as went out of the city several times to carry out patrol tasks, he spent most of his time wandering around the City Lord's Mansion and the major academies and shops in the city, learning and consulting materials to his heart's content, and finally gained a lot of results through familiarizing himself with Boran City, Nanzhan Dabang, and some places in the Lingyun Shilu Realm.

Although he didn't dare to say that he knew it in great detail, he at least knew it in general terms.

Finally, this day came as scheduled.

On the fourth day of the second lunar month after Ling Xingnan's arrival, the Boran City Lord's Mansion received a document from the Absolute Sword Sect.

And along with the paperwork came the ten masters of the Divine Dao Realm of the Absolute Sword Sect, each of these ten masters controlled a huge flying beast, which looked fierce, but when they stopped in the huge school field of the City Lord's Mansion, except for a few occasional roars, they didn't even run around hurting people.

As soon as the ten masters of the Divine Dao Realm fell into the Boran City, Sima City Lord and the others seemed to have received the notice a long time ago, and the eight elders, including Ling Xingnan, were all gathered in the school yard and waited.

After the ten transcendent masters of the Divine Dao Realm got off their respective flying beasts, they were indeed led by a middle-aged man in a white robe to Sima City Lord and the others.

The middle-aged man carrying a white long sword is particularly eye-catching, his white robe and the white long sword behind him are all one color clear, walking among the ten people is quite prominent, and the incomparably restrained momentum on this person is very properly restrained, neither exposed to hurt people, nor hidden. It gives the impression that he is like the sword on his back, and the edge is unsheathed. As soon as it comes out of the sheath, it will startle the sword.

With Ling Xingnan's current vision and cultivation, he couldn't see how far the middle-aged man's cultivation had reached the Divine Dao realm, but he could feel it. This middle-aged man's cultivation was definitely far above the other nine, not because he was the oldest, but because Ling Xingnan felt that the middle-aged man's momentum and bearing were the most unfathomable.

"Sima Chengfeng led the eight members of the elder group under his command, and I have seen the Great Elder Bai and the monks of the Absolute Sword Sect......" When Sima City Lord saw the white-robed middle-aged man walking towards them, he really saluted.

"City Lord Sima, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Time flies so fast, thinking about the scene when you and I went to the Absolute Sword Sect together to worship the outer gate, Bai seems to still remember it vividly...... I didn't think that now, you and I are over half a hundred years old. The white-robed middle-aged man hadn't finished saluting before Sima City Lord Gong bowed. He had already reached the Sima City Lord in a flash, and with both hands raised, he held the Sima City Lord firmly.

The two looked at each other as if they had been friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

"Hehe, yes, forty years have passed...... I'm old, but Elder Bai is already a great cultivator at the peak of the Divine Weapon Realm, and his lifespan is at least four or five hundred years away. Moreover, with Elder Bai's qualifications, it is only a matter of time before he advances to the realm of God Generals......" Sima City Lord also said to the white-robed middle-aged man.

"City Lord Sima doesn't have to mind. Everyone has their own different path to take, which is the so-called Heavenly Dao Destiny, but most of us monks and the like are going against the trend and going against the sky. Who could have predicted what would happen in the future? Just like when you and I were in the same spirit as the Ditto Absolute Sword Sect, who would have thought that Brother Sima did not have spirituality, while Bai was lucky enough to have an excellent metal spirituality. As a result, there is today's creation in sword cultivation, which is really a fortune. The white-robed middle-aged man said again.

Sima City Lord heard this. He said with a smile: "Elder Bai is extremely right, those who have luck will follow the sky. Growing up against the trend will be extraordinary! In the future, you can get a respected teacher to forcibly ascend to the realm of the gods and enter the realm of gods with great supernatural powers, adding a hundred years of life, and the karma is already sufficient. ”

Ling Xingnan heard the conversation between Sima City Lord and the white-robed middle-aged man, and he had already heard that this person was an elder surnamed Bai of the Absolute Sword Sect, and his cultivation had actually reached the peak of the Divine Soldier Realm, and forty years ago, the two of them were still outer disciples who went up the mountain at the same time.

Ling Xingnan's eyes stared at Elder Bai without blinking, as if he had to see what difference he had from ordinary human Dao realm masters?

It seemed that Elder Bai also sensed Ling Xingnan's gaze and glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't have a displeased expression, because from Ling Xingnan's gaze, Elder Bai seemed to have read Ling Xingnan's thoughts.

"Ha Luha, Sima City Lord is also an outer disciple of the Absolute Sword Sect, so he doesn't have to be so polite. By the way, Ling Xun should have grown up and become a talent now, right?," Elder Bai asked again.

"Alas, Elder Bai Hugh wants to mention that kid, he is already over sixteen years old, but his cultivation has just broken through to the realm of the Righteous Dao...... This old face of mine has already made him lose everything!" sighed the Sima City Lord.

"In the early stage of the Dao of Talent, it is indeed a little lower, it should be another five years before the outer disciples of the sect can be selected, right? However, as long as the order of the Sima City Lord is spiritual, Bai will definitely ask the good students of the sect to train ......him," Elder Bai said again.

After hearing what Elder Bai said, City Lord Sima immediately said excitedly, "Thank you, Elder Bai...... Elder Bai, you and Ling Shi have taken good care of the next family, I really don't know how to thank Lu Dao?"

"Alas, Brother Sima doesn't have to be polite, if it weren't for your help back then, Bai might not have been able to get into the Absolute Sword Sect, but I am afraid that he has already suffered from the poisonous mouth of that giant snake and died halfway through......" Elder Bai also sighed and said faintly.

At this time, Ling Xingnan heard it again, it turned out that Sima City Lord had saved his life for this Elder Bai of the Absolute Sword Sect, no wonder Elder Bai would be so helpful to Sima City Lord's family!

It seems that no matter which world this goes to, good people still have good rewards!

The two of them talked a few more words, and finally got to the point.

Sure enough, Ling Xingnan heard the Elder Bai of the Absolute Sword Sect say to Sima City Lord, "Brother Sima, the main purpose of our coming here today must be very clear to you. It's been five years again, and I wonder how many young juniors in Boran City have cultivated to the realm of the middle and late stages of the Yi Dao?"

"Alas, as far as I know, in recent years, there have been less than forty young masters in and outside the city who have been able to cultivate to the middle and late stages of the Yi Dao......

"Less than forty? Doesn't that seem to be less than the last time...... I seem to remember that there were more than fifty last time, right?" Elder Bai was also slightly taken aback when he heard Sima City Lord's answer.

"Yes, maybe it's because the qualifications of the young juniors are not as good as the next generation, and they are becoming more and more reluctant to work hard in cultivation! Alas, that's how dogs ......," Sima City Lord explained.

"I see!Forget it, let's bring back as much as we have this time!But Brother Sima will pass down the word from today onwards, as long as there are young juniors who can cultivate to the middle stage of the Yi Dao or above in the next five years, when they are brought into the outer gate by our Absolute Sword Sect to select, whether they are spiritual or not, whether they are selected or not, they will be given the sect's elixir and a lot of low-grade Yuan Stones as rewards......" Elder Bai said with a straight face.

When the Sima City Lord heard this, he was not slightly moved and said, "Okay, I will definitely convey Elder Bai's original words." I believe that under this reward, there will be many more people who are brave enough to climb the peak......"

After speaking, Sima City Lord said to the head of the elder group behind him, who was holding a steady position: "But elder, you go and gather all those young junior masters!"

But when the elder heard this, he nodded and left.

It didn't take long, but the elder really led about forty young people over quickly. Ling Xingnan also glanced at the forty or so people, and immediately found that these forty or so young people really had cultivation around the middle stage of the Yi Dao, especially the four of them who were a little older, and they even had the cultivation of the late stage of the Yi Dao, and Chang Sheng, who was defeated by Ling Xingnan, was also shocked to walk at the forefront of the team.

When Chang Sheng saw Ling Xingnan glancing at him, a hint of discoloration immediately flashed in his eyes, it seemed that the last competition made him feel uncomfortable.

These young masters above the middle realm of the Dao are the highly qualified figures of the younger generation in Boran City today.

Over the years, the Absolute Sword Sect has selected the standard of outer disciples from Boran City, as long as they are natives, there is no one who does not know the Tao.

Although Ling Xingnan has not been here for a long time, through this period of understanding, he also knows the Tao.

The Absolute Sword Sect selects outer disciples, it should be said that they are quasi-outer disciples, and there have always been only two criteria:

First, the Absolute Sword Sect only needs young and highly qualified disciples, and the age must not exceed thirty years old. Second, the cultivation of the younger disciples must reach the realm above the middle and late stages of the Yi Dao, even if they are the top powerhouses in the early stage of the Yi Dao, they will never want to defeat the masters of the late stage of the Yi Dao realm with the cultivation of the early stage of the Yi Dao!

As for the Absolute Sword Sect's selection of quasi-outer disciples, why did they have to use these two as the criteria? It was because if the junior disciples were old, it would be more difficult for them to be promoted even if they cultivated to the Divine Dao realm. And the master of the early realm of the Yi Dao, the weak spiritual power in his body is not enough to detect his own spirituality through the spiritual stone......

Therefore, these two strict selection criteria do have their own objective reasons.

At this time, the forty or so young masters of the mid-to-late stage realm of the Yi Dao were already standing in a row in front of the cultivators of the Absolute Sword Sect, as if they were being reviewed.

Seeing this, Elder Sima immediately said to Elder Bai beside him, "Elder Bai, these people are the most outstanding junior masters in our city, let's see if they meet the conditions for selecting outer disciples?"

Elder Bai casually glanced at these young Yi Dao Realm masters, and said with a smile: "Brother Sima's work efficiency is naturally not wrong. But there are only thirty-eight people, and it seems that the number of forty people is not even up to ......" (to be continued......
