The sky was gray and not yet bright, and the light of the moon was faintly scattered.

Chu Mingshu got up from the bed, warmed a few steamed buns in the kitchen, fished out two of them and brought them with him, and put the rest on the dining table, covered with a white cloth, he hesitantly glanced at the room of his adoptive parents, and secretly put the chicken legs he had saved under the bed, and the ingots didn't know where to go, if it came back, he would definitely be able to find the small snacks he had prepared for it as soon as possible...... took out the letter handed to him by Qi Sanniang yesterday, glanced at it, and put it back into his arms, Chu Mingshu hurriedly ran in the direction of the village gate.

With a steamed bun in his mouth, he finally walked to the entrance of the village out of breath, the sun had risen, and a carriage could be seen in the distance, Wang Xiaobao was lying on it and waved to him desperately.

"Hey, I knew you'd come......! What about ingots?"

Watching Chu Mingshu climb into the carriage, Wang Xiaobao was proud, and then looked behind the other party and asked.

"I didn't bring it, don't say more, go and come back quickly!" Chu Mingshu was serious, Wang Xiaobao instantly felt bored, "You will drop the book bag!" Wang Xiaobao complained, but he had already lowered the curtain and said to the coachman who was driving the horse, "Hurry up! If I'm late, you are the only one who asks!"

The coachman hurriedly responded, and was about to whip off,

"Woo yes! Brother Yuan! Brother Xiaobao! You wait for me!"

“......”

Looking at Liu Chang, who was snorting and running over desperately, Chu Mingshu and Wang Xiaobao looked at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time,

"I didn't say let her come. ”

"Neither do I!"

The official road leading to the upper city was flat, and the carriage ran fast, and when the sun was three strokes, it finally reached the upper city.

Shangcheng was the main city, and the former small county town was only under its jurisdiction.

The majestic city wall is breathtaking, Chu Mingshu came for the first time, even in the original world, he has never seen such a tall and majestic city, and his heart was shocked for a while, and it was difficult to speak.

Liu Chang's state was not much better, until he recovered after a while, and then a pair of round eyes did not blink, and he was full of energy.

Wang Xiaobao is much better, he obviously is not the first time to come, he commanded the coachman to drive the carriage to the side, he paid the fee for entering the city, grabbed Chu Mingshu's arm with one hand, pulled Liu Chang with the other, and hurriedly ran to the place with the most people,

"Brother Yuan, Changchang, we have to hurry, it's too late!"

The Shanhai Sect belongs to the private forces of King Yan of Da Chu, and the sect master is a true Qi cultivator, and it is rumored that he practices the way of immortality and is deeply relied on by King Yan.

This world is not suitable for cultivation, there are not a few sects like the Shanhai Sect, if it is in the cultivation world, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an ant, but although they are extravagant and exaggerated, they do have some magic, in Dachu, they have all become famous sects.

Now it is the five-year disciple election, and they have set up enrollment branches in the ten main cities of Yandu, and the terrain of Shangcheng is more remote, so there are not many disciples in charge of recruitment.

In the past few days, the flow of people in Shangcheng has surged, obviously several times more than usual, and the guards in Shangcheng are also very vigilant, Chu Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, it is indeed not a magic stick to deceive, but he is still vigilant in his heart.

There is no pie falling from the sky, Wang Xiaobao was very enthusiastic yesterday, and a fool can see that he has ulterior motives, but Chu Mingshu really can't think of anything worthy of the other party's actions......

Touching the dagger in his sleeve, "Let's take a look." Chu Mingshu thought so.

The three of them pulled each other to line up, and there were already hundreds of people in front, and there were still people joining in intermittently.

Most of the teenagers and girls came accompanied by their parents, and naturally there were also the same as Chu Mingshu and a few people, who secretly came by themselves, and the two teenagers with a smaller child were drowned in the sea of people in an instant.

Fortunately, the test is very fast, and the spirit stones scattered in the main city are all of the lowest grade, and there is no distinction between high and low qualifications, no matter whether it is good or bad, as long as you have qualifications, it will shine.

Even so, the number of times the spirit stone glows is still only a handful.

In the evening, the three of them were finally approached.

......

The test site of the Shanhai Sect was in an open space about two or three hundred meters away from the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion.

What was once a clearing was now a high platform, but it was only a small platform half a zhang high and two feet wide, made of jade lacquer and covered with a red blanket, and directly behind it was a wide and tidy street that led directly to the castle lord's mansion.

Rows of guards with broadswords, shields, and spears lined up neatly, guarding the surroundings of the high platform, and the flow of people was crowded, but no one dared to cross these soldiers with real swords and guns, and their armor was polished.

The dark green spirit stone was placed on the wooden table in the center of the high platform, and in front of the wooden table stood several young men dressed in white.

The long queue went all the way to the city gate, and everyone was very orderly, and people of different ages, or those who came as escorts, and those who watched the excitement, all stood obediently on both sides of the procession.

The test went on quite quickly, some people were disappointed, and naturally some people got what they wanted.

Another disappointed girl went away crying and hiding her face.

The young man standing in front of Chu Mingshu looked a little nervous, he clenched his fist and bit his lip, his parents stood beside him, looking at him with encouraging eyes, so he pursed his lips, raised his feet and stepped forward, he nervously stepped up the steps, step by step to the wooden table,

"What's your name?" asked a young man in white with a friendly smile on his face in front of the table.

"I... My name is... Cheng Zirui. ”

The palms of this young man named Cheng Zirui began to sweat.

"Okay, Cheng Zirui, seeing that the knife in front of you is not, now, you need to use it to scratch your finger, and then drop a drop of blood onto this stone. ”

The man in white said with a smile, his voice was very gentle, with a strange soothingness, Cheng Zirui was suddenly a little not afraid, according to the words, he used a knife to cut his fingers, and the bright red blood dripped down, silently blending from the surface of the stone, and dissipated at once.

Immediately, the turquoise spirit stone emitted a soft halo.

Cheng Zirui cried with joy, he turned around and was about to run back to share the joy with his parents, but one of the expressionless young men came over and grabbed his arm and said to him,

"Come with me. ”

"Immortal, can I say goodbye to my father?" Cheng Zirui looked back at his parents in the crowd, and couldn't say what he felt in his heart for a while.

"Entering my immortal gate, how can you covet the feelings in the red dust. ”

The man shook his head, took the young man's hand, and walked to the back of the platform, where a luxurious and spacious carriage was parked.

"He's going to be taken to the City Lord's Mansion!"

"It's so good! From now on, I will soar to the sky, practice immortal arts, and be happy!"

The onlookers thought. There are those who are envious, those who are jealous, and those who simply look at the excitement and don't understand anything.

Only the parents of the teenager had mixed tastes, and they were proud of their child's selection, but they were very reluctant in their hearts.

Wang Xiaobao and Liu Erchang naturally looked envious, Chu Mingshu just smiled in agreement, there was no wave in his eyes.

"Next. ”

A man in white on the right shouted.
