Chapter 5: The Sword Test
"Inner door assessment..."
Zhang Liang muttered in a low voice, and then shouted at Lu Xiaoling, who had already flown away: "Siguo cliff is very high, it will hurt to fall down!"
However, where could Lu Xiaoling hear Zhang Liang's words, she was trying her best to control the flying sword under her feet, and her delicate and lovely face was full of seriousness.
"Ahh
Not long after, a scream rang out, and she fell out of the air again.
"Keep telling Brother Liang, you will suffer in front of you!"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but shake his head, this little fairy senior sister is a bit of a secondary two and needs time to heal.
However, the internal assessment mentioned by the other party made him a little concerned.
Every three years, there will be an inner gate assessment in Wanjian Mountain, when the cultivation reaches the foundation building period, and there are disciples who are willing to be accepted by the peak master, they will officially become the inner disciples of Wanjian Mountain, and their status will rise accordingly.
There are five peaks in Wanjian Mountain, which are Jianyang Peak, Xiaoyu Peak, Panyun Peak, Feiyan Peak and Sannian Peak, surrounded by five peaks, like the five fingers that are folded together, looking at it from afar, it is quite surprising.
Among them, Jianyang Peak is the location of the master, and it is also the peak that many disciples want to enter after grabbing it.
However, Jianyang Peak is extremely strict in accepting disciples, even if it is an inner disciple, it needs to go through layers of assessment, and a disciple like Zhang Liang who has been locked up and confined is absolutely useless.
"There are many female disciples of Feiyan Peak, I think that little fairy senior sister should be a disciple of Feiyan Peak, and I don't know how Lu Suyun, the peak master of Feiyan Peak, trained this disciple of herself?"
Zhang Liang muttered, thinking that Lu Xiaoling had the cultivation of the Jindan period, even if she fell from a high altitude, the protective shield formed by the true qi could ensure her safety, and she should not fall to death, so he was relieved.
Walking down the trail from the back mountain, after about a stick of incense, Zhang Liang saw a house halfway up the mountain, which was the residence of the outer disciples, and he needed to go back to prepare first, so that he could participate in the inner door assessment in three days.
After returning to the courtyard in his memory, Zhang Liang took out a clean suit from the storage bag and hurriedly went into the room to take a shower.
Fortunately, after the outer disciples have reached the fifth level of qi refining, they will have their own independent courtyard, so that Zhang Liang will not be crowded with others.
After taking a bath, Zhang Liang sat cross-legged in the courtyard and began to comprehend the Spirit Sword Duel, which was the introductory swordsmanship of Wanjian Mountain.
Because of the restriction of the spiritual root, Zhang Liang's strength had previously stopped at the seventh layer of qi refining, and after he went mad, he was even lowered to the fourth layer.
The perception of the Spirit Sword Duel also stopped at the third layer, and now his strength has been greatly improved, and some of the problems that plagued him before have also been solved.
An hour later, Zhang Liang opened his eyes suddenly, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the Spirit Sword Decisive Comprehension had finally reached the fourth layer!
The only thing that dissatisfied Zhang Liang was his spiritual root, the speed at which the mortal-level spiritual root absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was too slow.
However, he had recently felt that the speed of aura absorption was much faster than before, if the ratio of the speed of aura absorption to the mortal-level mid-grade spiritual root was 2:1 before, then now it was at least 1.5:1.
As for the reason, it is not difficult for Zhang Liang to guess.
Black Stone Beads!
Now he finally understands why Shi Feng can cultivate from the seventh layer to the ninth layer of qi refining in three years with the qualification of a mortal-level spiritual root, this black stone bead, I'm afraid the grade is not low, at least it is a spiritual weapon, maybe it is a divine weapon!
Zhang Liang still understands the truth of his guilt, and he also understands why Shi Feng wants to kill himself with all his heart, there is such a treasure, no one wants to be revealed by others, and he will cause trouble again.
"The treasure that can increase the speed of cultivation, who is your original owner?"
Zhang Liang took out the black stone beads in the storage bag and carefully rubbed them with his hands, the owner of such a treasure could never be an unknown person.
.....
Little by little, time passed.
Three days later, Zhang Liang came to the foot of Jianyang Peak, where the inner gate assessment was held.
At this time, the square at the foot of the mountain was already full of people, including the outer disciples who were watching, the inner disciples who were watching the excitement, and even the personal disciples who came to see the excitement!
The person in charge of the inner gate assessment is a slightly chubby middle-aged man, he is an inner door deacon of Jianyang Peak of Wanjian Mountain, named Zhu Hong, and his strength is in the Jindan period!
This time, there were a total of fifteen disciples who participated in the inner gate assessment, including Zhang Liang, which shows that the way of cultivating immortals is indeed difficult.
In three years, only fifteen of the outer disciples succeeded in building the foundation.
Zhang Liang's appearance made the surrounding outer disciples suddenly startled, many of them recognized him, and also knew that he had just finished the confinement of Si Guoya.
"Zhang Liang, how did you participate in the inner door assessment, you must know that only disciples who have reached the foundation building stage are eligible to participate!" At this time, a thin and tall outer disciple hurriedly shouted, wanting to remind Zhang Liang and let him stop making trouble.
Zhang Liang knew this young man, his name was Li Sheng, and he was one of the few people in the outer gate who had a good relationship with him.
"Idlers can't make noise!"
Zhu Hong, the deacon of the inner gate, glared at Li Sheng, then looked at Zhang Liang and the others, and said, "Do you want to participate in the inner gate assessment?"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but roll his eyes, he didn't participate in the inner door assessment, he came here to engage in chicken feathers, and was treated as a monkey by a group of people?
However, this cannot be said naturally.
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
"Very well, then you come with me!"
Zhu Hong smiled and nodded, although he was a deacon on the surface and was responsible for the assessment, his status in the inner gate was not high, and he was far worse than those personal disciples, so he could only find some superiority in these disciples who were about to enter the inner gate.
Fifteen people followed Zhu Hong one after another and came to the center of the square.
Zhu Hong came to a stone as smooth as a mirror and stopped, turned to Zhang Liang and the others and said, "If you can support half a pillar of incense under the sword test stone, you will pass the first level!"
"Test the Sword Stone!"
Zhang Liang glanced at the smooth mirror-like stone, and some images flashed in his mind, but he knew that this thing existed.
It is rumored that the sword test stone is the piece that the ancestor of Wanjian Mountain used to sharpen the sword, and there is the sword intent left by the ancestor on it.
Before the words fell, I saw Zhu Hong take out a piece of jade slip from the storage bag, pinched the trick in his hand, and the jade slip slowly flew up and hung over the sword test stone.
Immediately after, a white light flew out of the jade slip and injected it into the sword test stone.
The sword test stone suddenly shone brightly, and a transcendent sword intent appeared, enveloping all fifteen people, including Zhang Liang.
The outer disciples who were watching let out exclamations, and many of them had seen such a change in the Sword Test Stone for the first time.
Suddenly, Zhang Liang felt a strong sense of oppression, and that sword intent was like a towering mountain, pressing him down fiercely.
