Qingzhou, at the foot of Qingyangmen Mountain, the originally clean mountain road became particularly lively with the rise of the first ray of sunshine, and I saw a group of teenagers scrambling to walk up the mountain.

One of the teenagers walked slowly in the crowd with his head down, this teenager was inconspicuous in the crowd, but if you look closely, you will find that every step he takes seems to contain some wonderful rhythm, it seems to be very slow, but in fact he can walk several meters in the blink of an eye, and he will never meet anyone else in the crowd, at first glance it is a set of exquisite footwork.

The young man looked at the mountain in front of him, and muttered as he walked: "Is this Qingyang Mountain? It is worthy of being the first sect in Qingzhou, and it is indeed a blessed place for cultivation!"

Qingyang Mountain is composed of a total of seven peaks, each of which is towering into the clouds, surrounded by aura, and the main peak in the middle is surrounded by a spiritual mist visible to the naked eye, which is the embodiment of the aura that is so rich that it is about to liquefy.

The young man's name is Ling Yun, sixteen years old, and he was ordered by his master to come to participate in the recruitment assessment of Qingyangmen every three years.

As the first sect in Qingzhou, this Qingyangmen is not only mysterious, but also full of spiritual energy in the mountain gate, and has the blessing of various formations.

Therefore, whenever Qingyangmen opens the mountain to recruit apprentices, all over Qingzhou, whether it is a wealthy family or a commoner, will flock to it, in case it is accepted as a disciple by a big man in Qingyang Sect, it can really be said to be a step to the sky!

However, it is not so simple to enter the Qingyang Sect, the Qingyang Sect is extremely strict in accepting disciples, only recruiting those under the age of twenty who have reached the sixth order of martial arts or above, and only taking the top three hundred.

The cultivation realm from low to high can be divided into martial artists, martial artists, and grandmasters, of which each level is divided into ten levels, collectively known as acquired martial artists. As for the grandmaster and above, the people on the mainland call it the innate realm, and when they reach that realm, they can really be called immortals.

Don't look at three hundred people seems to be a lot, but the Qingzhou Continent is vast, and if you really count it, there should not be many people who have reached the sixth order of martial arts at the age of twenty, so it is estimated that less than one-tenth of the people who can really be admitted among the participants will be admitted.

With the sound of a bell, while the young men and women who were rushing to the mountain were stunned, a slightly old and loud voice resounded throughout the sky: "The Qingyang Sect apprentice recruitment assessment has officially begun, after a stick of incense, no matter what method you use, as long as you can rush to the mountain gate of this sect, you will be deemed qualified, and those who fail to arrive will be automatically eliminated."

As soon as this voice fell, the teenagers who rushed to the mountain were stunned, and some of them said: "This year's apprentice assessment of Qingyangmen is a little too simple, from here to Qingyangzong's mountain gate, where do you need a stick of incense, those who can come to participate in the assessment are all martial artists above the sixth order, if you really rush with all your strength, I'm afraid that the tea time will come." ”

As soon as this person's voice fell, a terrifying spiritual coercion was permeated from the mountain, and this coercion enveloped everyone on the mountain. As soon as this coercion fell, let alone going up the mountain, those who were slightly weaker or less willful would be paralyzed to the ground on the spot, and the rest of the people also felt that their bodies were sinking and they were struggling.

"Damn, I knew that the assessment of this Qingyang Sect would not be so simple," someone in the crowd said scoldingly. That being said, after getting used to it for a while, everyone slowly walked towards the mountain, after all, no matter how much they complained, this assessment still couldn't be given up.

When Ling Yun was about to rush to the mountain, a hand suddenly put on his shoulder, and a slightly sleek voice sounded, "Hey, brother, my name is Qin Hai, what is your name, are you also here to participate in the assessment?"

Ling Yun was stunned, he had just broken through to the martial arts realm some time ago, but he didn't expect that among the people participating in the assessment, there would be someone who unconsciously put his hand on his shoulder, although there was that coercion that suddenly distracted him for a while, but this person was by no means simple.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ling Yun turned around and saw a slightly shrewd and a little bohemian smiling face appear in sight, which should be about the same age as himself, which made Ling Yun even more surprised.

Without a trace, he patted his hand and said, "In Xia Lingyun, I don't think anyone is here to climb the mountain today!"

The young man in front of him was stunned, laughed, and said, "Brother is really humorous!"

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Ling Yun asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Brother, don't be in a hurry to go, this Qingyang Sect's assessment has a total of three levels, this first level is just an appetizer, cultivation is to fight with the sky, fight with the earth, if you want to have great achievements, you have to be determined and persevering, this first level is just the Qingyang Sect wants to eliminate those children of the family, relying on the treasure of heaven and earth to improve the strength of the greenhouse flowers, the real test is in the last two levels. ”

Ling Yun said: "What does this have to do with me. ”

Qin Hai got a little closer, and whispered in Ling Yun's ear, "Brother, I won't hide it from you, my cultivation method is a little special, although I don't know why I can't see your specific strength, but I can feel that your strength is quite strong, this assessment is by no means simple, of course, I am also a little confident in my own strength, so, I want to find a brother to join forces with you and pass the assessment of this Qingyang Sect together, I don't know what my brother wants." ”

Ling Yun pondered for a moment after listening, this person's strength is not bad, and it is naturally good to join forces with him, but it is precisely because of his good strength that he is not familiar with him, and this person is not an honest person at first glance, in case this person's heart is not right, he will pit himself at a critical time, it will definitely be enough for him to drink a pot, besides, Ling Yun is still relatively confident in his own strength, even if he is alone, it should not be difficult to pass the assessment of Qingyang Sect to enter Qingyang Gate, after all, there will be three hundred places.

Just as Ling Yun was about to refuse, a crisp female voice suddenly came to mind, "The two brothers in front, I don't know where they are, why are there so many people?"

Ling Yun and Qin Hai were stunned, what is the matter with this person? Is she really stupid or pretending to be stupid? I don't know where she is here, what is she doing here!

The two looked back, only to see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, skin as fine as warm jade, soft as greasy, cherry mouth is not dotted and red, delicate as a drop, two strands of hair on the cheeks gently blowing with the wind, with a bit of seductive style, and the flexible eyes turn wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty, a light green long skirt, embroidered with light blue peonies on the cuffs, silver thread outlines a few auspicious clouds, the hem is densely embroidered with a row of sea water clouds, a beautiful and refined woman.

Just when Ling Yun was stunned, he saw that Qin Hai next to him had already walked towards the little girl behind him cheaply, as if he had completely forgotten that he was now taking the assessment.

As he walked, he said, "This fairy sister, this is Qingyang Sect, today is the recruitment assessment of Qingyang Sect every three years, those who go up the mountain are here to participate in the assessment, in Xia Qinhai, sixteen years old this year, so far there is no marriage, I don't know the name of the fairy?"

The girl's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said, "Thank you, Brother Qin Hai, little girl Ye Jiu'er, I don't know if I can participate in this assessment?"

Qin Hai scratched his head, and said a little embarrassed, "Sister Jiu'er, this Qingyang Sect assessment is not a joke, you have to be within twenty years old to participate in the sixth order or above, you must be no problem at this age, but, I see that you have not cultivated, I am afraid you will not be able to participate in this assessment, but if Sister Jiu'er wants to go up the mountain to have a look, I will definitely take you up to visit after I pass the assessment and become a disciple of Qingyang Sect!"

Jiu'er smiled when he heard him, "Is the martial artist the sixth order?" Jiu'er has reached it, Brother Qin Hai should tell Jiu'er about the assessment rules!"

Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, because the exercises he cultivated were relatively special, people who were generally not higher than his two great realms could roughly see the depth of their cultivation, but what happened today, within one day, he let himself meet two people who couldn't see the depth of cultivation, and the Ling Yun in front was better, although he couldn't see the specific cultivation, he could still feel the cultivation aura.

But now this Ye Jiu'er, it is really that he can't feel the aura of cultivation at all, and under his own perception, he is completely an ordinary person who has not cultivated.

Now that he is also at the peak of the martial arts realm, he has even stepped into the martial artist with half a foot, it stands to reason that he should sense it below the congenital level, as for saying that the two of them are already strong in the congenital realm? Qin Hai didn't believe it if he killed himself, it was really evil.

"Hey, Brother Qin Hai, what's wrong with you?!"

A slender and white little hand shook in front of Qin Hai's eyes, and finally pulled Qin Hai's soul back from the outside of the world, Qin Hai hurriedly told Ye Jiu'er about the assessment rules of the Qingyang Sect and the assessment rules of this first level.

Ling Yun on the side watched Qin Hai spitting endlessly, still talking a bunch of nonsense.

said, "The assessment has been delayed for a lot of time, you talk, I'll go up first." ”

When Qin Hai heard this, he remembered that he was now being assessed, and hurriedly said, "Sister Jiu'er, it's not too early now, let's go first, I'll go ahead later, you follow me, I'll help you with some low-grade coercion, so that you will be under less pressure." ”

Ye Jiu'er didn't refute when she heard it, and said with a smile, "Then thank you, Brother Qin Hai." ”

When the two of them raised their heads, they saw that Ling Yun in front of them had already walked forward alone for nearly a hundred meters.

Ye Jiu'er was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Qin Hai, isn't the person in front with you, why don't you leave by yourself without waiting." ”

Qin Hai smiled awkwardly and said, "I also met him just now, I don't know each other, I only know that his name is Ling Yun, and his strength is not bad, but compared to me, he still has a lot of gaps, Sister Jiu'er, don't worry, I will cover you and ensure that you successfully pass all the assessments and enter the Qingyang Sect." ”

Ye Jiu'er didn't know his thoughts, but he didn't break it, after all, because of his appearance and identity, he grew up in this environment since he was a child, besides, this Qin Hai looked a little frivolous, but it was not annoying.

So he said, "Brother Qin, you should call me Jiu'er in the future, Sister Jiu'er sounds weird." Qin Hai smiled, "Okay, Jiu'er, listen to you, let's go."
