Chapter 021: Introductory Assessment
Tongtian River, which is said to be 3,000 li wide and 90,000 li long, is the land where the state and land are divided on the mainland, and this is the boundary of Tianhe Sect and Tianjian Sect respectively.
In the past few months, Li Yu has been on the road continuously, in addition to improving his cultivation, his horizons are gradually broadening, and he has a general understanding of the world pattern in which he lives.
At this moment, the land under his feet is called Middle Earth, which is the richest and most extensive continent between heaven and earth, its width is more than a trillion miles, and it is the main place where the human race lives.
In the land of Middle Earth, the nine immortal sects have the most extensive power, separating each other, dividing Kyushu, each sect dominates a state, ruling hundreds of countries, trillions of sentient beings, among which there are countless second, third and fourth-rate sects, and the factions of the rivers and lakes are mixed, all of which are dependent and born, and they are supremely prosperous.
In addition, the demons and monsters are distributed in the four fields, living on the border and growing near the sea.
It is said that outside of Middle Earth, there is an endless ocean, ruled by the dragon kings of the four seas, and there will be land across the sea, which are the East Pole, the West Yi, the Northern Wilderness, the Southern Xinjiang, and even some uninhabited continents and land routes, Xianshan Islands, Mang Wilderness, and the ends of the earth.
Comparatively speaking, the Cloud Dynasty is just a grain of rice on Middle-earth.
In the land of a state, even the Jindan monks have to fly for half a month in a row to escape, so you can imagine how vast it is.
Of course, big is one aspect, and chaos is also one aspect!
Especially in this area of thousands of miles, it has become a chaotic place of three things, not to mention that there are demon beasts rampant, there are many evil sects, there are tens of thousands of bandits alone, even if the sky is blue and daylight, you can see horse bandits robbing everywhere.
These bandits were not only robbing money, they were fierce and cruel, they loved to eat human flesh and drink human blood, and they did all kinds of evil, often forming large armies to loot cities, burning, killing and looting. When they catch a woman, they will roast and eat meat, and when they catch a child, they will grind and drink blood, and they will also smash the skull of the newborn child and suck the brain marrow.
In Li Yu's opinion, these people are hellish devils, more ferocious than demon beasts.
In the past half month, Li Yu has also been attacked many times, and almost died several times.
These bandits are all outlaws, licking blood with knives every day, and they don't care about life or death at all, and there are many masters among them, if it weren't for Li Yu's progress and extraordinary magic weapons, I'm afraid that the corpses would have been exposed to the wilderness long ago.
However, it is this kind of experience that makes his state of mind constantly tempered, his cultivation is constantly consolidated, his foundation is constantly stable, and he can see the truth more clearly at the moment of life and death.
At this time, Li Yu had already cultivated the Samadhi True Fire to the perfection of the True Qi, and only thirty or so acupuncture points were needed to impact the innate realm.
Of course, it is not only the Samadhi True Fire that has improved, but also the Martial Cultivation Path and the Great Sun Sutra, both of which have improved almost simultaneously. At present, Li Yu has officially cultivated the true blood of the martial arts, and nourished the blood vein of the Golden Crow with his majestic blood qi, prompting more than 20 drops of the blood of the Golden Crow, opening up most of the true essence of the Golden Crow.
The only pity is that he has only refined a firebird so far, firstly, because he has taken the main road to collect lust in major cities, and secondly, for the sake of safety, he has avoided those jungle wastelands as much as possible.
However, even so, Li Yu's progress is visible to the naked eye, after all, every Golden Crow Flame is a true element, and it has to be fused with a drop of Golden Crow blood, and the difficulty of cultivation can be imagined.
This is still assisted by the Blood Ding, who often helps him refine the blood essence, otherwise he would not be able to make such progress at all.
On this day, Li Yu finally came to the bank of the Tongtian River, and with the help of the Tianhe Jade Order, he sensed a Tianhe River Temple, and hundreds of men and women had come to the Taoist temple, all of whom were young talents and had cultivated extraordinary.
These are all people who have been recommended by others and are waiting for the assessment, which is also the way of selecting apprentices for a major sect like Tianhe Sect.
The Nine Great Immortal Sects rarely open mountains, and even if they open mountains, they are also for the descendants of internal disciples, and if others want to get started, it is very difficult and difficult, unless the qualifications are particularly against the sky, and they are favored by the middle and high levels of the sect, there is no one in ten thousand such people.
Generally speaking, they are recommended by others, and they can enter the sect through the assessment, and the disciples who are accepted in this way are definitely elites, after all, no one will recommend stupid materials to the sect, and no mediocre person has the qualification to recommend.
"This brother Tai, Yong below, a disciple of the Xuanfeng Country Fang family, I don't know if Your Excellency is ......"
Li Yu had just entered the Taoist temple when he suddenly ran into a young man.
This person is dressed luxuriously and has a spring breeze on his face, he is very kind, and his body naturally exudes nobility, and he is from an extraordinary background at first glance.
"Under Li Yu!"
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Li Yu also responded kindly, and then entered the Taoist temple under the recommendation of this person.
After talking, Li Yu knew that these people were all nobles, either princes or princesses, and at the last time, they were also grandfathers and county lords, all of whom were illustrious. But now, everyone has only one goal, that is, to become an outer disciple of the Tianhe Sect and get rid of the mortal world from now on.
This shows how rare and desirable immortality is.
Li Yu stood in the crowd, listening to their conversation while comparing everyone's cultivation, there are many innate masters, and even those with strong mana, but most of them are the same as him, the realm of true qi.
Moreover, most of the people present have condensed their flesh and blood, even women are no exception, and many of them still have magic clothes and magic weapons on their bodies, which are worth a lot of money.
Relatively speaking, Li Yu is not backward, and of course it is not conspicuous.
"Have you heard, our entry assessment this time is to kill the bandits, as long as you kill enough hundred bandits, you can enter the outer gate, of course, if you can kill those few fierce demons on the list, there will also be magic weapons and pills!"
"I guess that's the case, the whole world has been stirred up by Jiugong Cloud recently, and all the demons and monsters have been born, especially a few days ago, someone saw Jiugong Cloud haunting Tongtian River once, and now there are many evil cultivators and bandits gathering, and it is very chaotic for thousands of miles.
I heard that several senior brothers of the inner sect were killed, and now the high-level of the sect is completely furious, and they want to kill this group of fanatics to show the majesty of my Tianhe!"
"Tsk, I've inquired about it, killing bandits is not only a sect assessment, but also a reward. Ten bandits can be exchanged for a Pure Bone Golden Pill, and if you take it, you can change the root bone and wash the hair and marrow. In addition, there are also the Cleansing Pill, the Great Return Pill, the Yunshen Pill, the True Yuan Pill, the Innate Pill, and even the Xuanfa Pill, this time the sect is really bloody!"
"Haha, this is the welfare of the Supreme Immortal Sect, even if those small sects are in charge, it is difficult to see a single pill, now as long as we get started, even if it is just a disciple of the outer sect, there is an elixir to swallow, and the cultivation has skyrocketed. ”
"Hmph, let's wait until you pass the assessment to talk about this, in case you die at the hands of the bandits, there is nothing, and a hundred bandits is not a small number!"
"Cut, it's just a hundred bandits, I not only want to take them all, but also capture them alive, and when the time comes, please ask the inner brother to help me refined, and turn into a wrestler Taoist soldier to drive as I like. ”
At this time, a fiery young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a fiery red body, laughed loudly, and his tone was very resolute.
Li Yu took a look at it and found that this son's whole body was full of magic weapons, and even the hairpin on the jade pendant on his waist was a magic weapon, not to mention the sword and magic clothes.
"Your Highness Minghe, it seems that you are very confident!"
"Of course. ”
The young man raised his chin: "My sister's Mingxia Peak has a wrestler trained by bandits, this kind of wrestler I can kill ten at a time, each wrestler is a true qi level, but I heard that there are some condensation masters among the bandits, and even the inner disciples are not opponents, you should be careful." ”
Rumble!
All of a sudden, the crowd erupted into discussions.
"Isn't that too dangerous? This has to be killed by the inner disciples. ”
"There is a battle in the inner gate, we are responsible for ordinary bandits, if you can kill the master of condensation, maybe you can directly assess the inner door!"
......
Bang Dang!
At this moment, an eight- or nine-year-old Taoist boy came to the main hall of the Taoist temple, born with pink carvings, and as soon as he came out, the scene suddenly quieted down.
This Dao Tong was not afraid of life, and looked around very plainly, and then spoke loudly: "Three days later, the assessment will begin, and the specific rules are as follows......"
After half a pillar of incense, the assessment rules were read out, but there was not much difference from what everyone was talking about, but the rewards and treasures were specified, and there were inner disciples involved in this assessment.
Finally, Dao Tong began to beckon the new disciples who had arrived today to follow him to verify their identities.
After Li Yu and more than 20 other young men and women followed Daotong to check the jade order, they each got a talisman and an iron plate.
The iron plaque is a room ban in the Taoist temple, and the talisman is used to record the merits of the assessment, and the remnants of the bandits will be automatically collected when the time comes.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, come here!"
Li Yu had just come out, and suddenly saw Fang Yong greeting him, there were also a man and a woman beside him at this moment, both of them were extremely young fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, which was intimate.
"This is Brother Li Yu, let's go, Brother Li just came today, let's pick up the wind and wash the dust for him!"
Fang Yong was a self-acquaintance, grabbed Li Yu's sleeve, and after briefly introducing the two of them, he walked directly outside.
This day the river view is extremely huge, in addition to the houses inside, the scenery is beautiful, all kinds of facilities are also readily available, it is said that everything above and below this view is a whole, it is a cave heaven magic weapon, this magic weapon can be moved at any time, only the size of a palm after being put away.
This way was dragged by Fang Yong, Li Yu opened his eyes, there was even a restaurant in the Taoist temple, and when he entered it, there was a pungent aroma coming from the nose, there was the aroma of wine and vegetables.
"Hahaha, Brother Fang broke the bill today, and he can have a good meal, saying that the food here is really delicious, I feel that I have eaten pig food in the imperial dining room for more than ten years. ”
As soon as he entered the restaurant, the young man beside Fang Yong couldn't help licking his lips, his eyes were shining, and even the female cultivator was in high spirits, and her face was slightly red.
These two are also royal relatives and nobles, one is called Liu Wei and the other is called Zhang Rou, who are the princes and county lords of two small countries. Seeing their appearance, Li Yu couldn't help but be curious.
However, Fang Yong remained silent, and invited the three of them to a jade table to sit down, and then explained: "Brother Li must not know that all the food in this restaurant is spiritual food, it is a different species carefully cultivated by the Immortal Sect, not to mention rich in spiritual energy, the taste is also a must, plus the cooking of magic weapons, to drive away impurities, eating a meal can increase a lot of cultivation." It costs a magic weapon to eat a meal, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it. ”
"Hiss......"
Rao is Li Yu is extraordinary, and he couldn't help but gasp at this moment.
"Hurry up, don't talk nonsense, order food first, and talk while eating. Liu Wei couldn't help it anymore.
