Chapter 19: A New Hope!

CHAPTER XIX

Senior Brother Liu looked at Lu Fan, who was speechless, and felt a little sorry in his heart, although they had known each other for a short time, Lu Fan gave him a good feeling, which made people unconsciously attracted to him, and wanted to watch him go all the way by his side.

"Senior Brother Lu, don't be discouraged, although you didn't pass this time, Elder Zhou came yesterday and arranged for you to go to the sect's miscellaneous office, although it is not as good as the outer disciples, but it is also in the sect!

Lu Fan's expression was blurred, his soul seemed to be out of his body, and he didn't hear Senior Brother Liu's words in a trance.

Senior Brother Liu said Brother Fan, you still have a chance to enter the sect, and now the four of us have become outer disciples with your help, Brother Fan, you are not sober and sober, have you forgotten your oath under the big tree in the village!"

Zhang Ergou looked at the decadent Lu Fan, roared loudly, tears in his eyes burst out of his eyes, he had never seen such a lost and depressed Lu Fan, remembering the bits and pieces of time together, remembering that Lu Fan cheered for himself before the trial, Zhang Ergou was very heartbroken, in this sect where the weak and the strong eat the weak, Lu Fan is a relative to him, he doesn't want Lu Fan to sink down, he wants to help Lu Fan, just like Lu Fan once helped him!

Li Qiang, Shen Dasha, and Han Chong also walked in front of Lu Fan, with a strong and incomparable trust in Lu Fan in their blazing eyes! They knew that no matter what words they said at the moment, they were pale and powerless, and only by letting Lu Fan feel their confidence in him could Lu Fan regain his strength!

Senior Brother Liu watched this scene from the sidelines, and was very envious of Lu Fan in his heart, intrigue on the road of cultivation, and deceit, there are a few people who can think about each other from the bottom of their hearts, without a trace of pretentiousness!

Lu Fan slowly raised his head, looked at the five people in front of him, the flame that was about to be extinguished in his heart suddenly soared, and his eyes gradually became bright, after taking a deep breath, he looked at everyone with a firm look, and said:

"Thank you!"

Lu Fan's original desire to become an immortal was extremely strong, even if everyone didn't arouse his fighting spirit, Lu Fan would adapt to it in the slow passage of time, and then impact his dreams, and these people in front of him dragged him out of that confused state, let him recognize himself, face the reality, and shorten the process infinitely.

"Yes, I still have hope! I still have hope to enter the sect!"

Lu Fan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes became bright again, and the momentum on his body was like the decadent Lu Fan just now.

Everyone looked at Lu Fan, who was reinvigorated, and they were all very happy in their hearts, and they each exhaled a long breath and put their hearts at ease.

"That's... That one... Senior Brother Liu, what did you just say... I... I kind of didn't hear clearly..."

Lu Fan looked at Senior Brother Liu, scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said curtly.

Senior Brother Liu looked at the recovered Lu Fan, with a smile on his face, as if he had returned to the appearance when he was outside the trial, he couldn't help but smile bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and patiently explained to Lu Fan again.

After listening to Senior Brother Liu's explanation of Elder Zhou's arrangements for him, Lu Fan was also slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't know why Elder Zhou cared so much about himself, he had never met Elder Zhou before, and he didn't even know that such a person existed.

Then Lu Fan shook his head, and then put all these unexplainable things behind him, and put all his thoughts on how to become a disciple of the sect again.

Senior Brother Liu looked at Lu Fan and said with blazing eyes:

"In fact, in the land of trials, the cliffs you see, the whistling mountain winds are all illusions, this is also part of the trial, as long as you can walk through the fifty steps of the Thousand Step Stone, you can become an outer disciple, and the fifty steps are the limit that mortals can bear!"

Lu Fan turned his head and glanced at the robes of the five people in front of him, a blood-red robe draped over his body, heroic and extraordinary, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Lu didn't reach the fiftieth order, so he... Later, Elder Zhou arranged to send you to the miscellaneous servants, which can be regarded as staying in the sect... The sect admits disciples every three months, so you can also participate in the trial again, but remember, you only get one chance!"

Senior Brother Liu looked at Lu Fan and said solemnly, he also hoped that Lu Fan could seize this opportunity, perform well, and enter the Shangqing Sect as soon as possible.

"Miscellaneous Division... Three months..."

Lu Fan nodded, and then looked at Senior Brother Liu with doubts in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Liu, what kind of place is the miscellaneous office?"

After hearing Lu Fan's question, the five people in the room all looked at each other, as if they were unwilling to answer Lu Fan's question.

After being silent for a while, Senior Brother Liu sighed secretly, looked at Lu Fan and said:

"Miscellaneous Servants... As the name suggests, it is... It's to clean up the sect on weekdays, help the disciples wash their clothes, chop wood, and then..."

Before Senior Brother Liu finished speaking, Lu Fan's face turned red with excitement, and he stood up suddenly, staring at Senior Brother Liu tightly with his eyes, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be burning!

"Miscellaneous Servants, aren't you just going to make me a subordinate!"

Lu Fan gritted his teeth and said, he suddenly didn't understand Elder Zhou's arrangement, and he was sad and indignant in his heart! He has always been free and easy in the village, he can do whatever he wants, even if he doesn't pass the trial, he can't be reduced to a subordinate of the sect, and he will be called by others!

"I'm here to cultivate immortals! I'm not here to do chores for the Shangqing Sect!"

Lu Fan said coldly, looking at Senior Brother Liu with an embarrassed face, he felt a little apologetic in his heart, after all, it was not Senior Brother Liu who decided this matter, but the old man of Elder Zhou.

"Senior Brother Lu, don't worry!"

Senior Brother Liu didn't care about Lu Fan's cold words, and he also knew in his heart that arranging him in the miscellaneous service with Lu Fan's character would definitely cause Lu Fan's dissatisfaction, but this dissatisfaction was not aimed at himself.

"Senior Brother Lu, you take this first!"

As he spoke, Senior Brother Liu took out a jade slip from his chest, the shape of the long strip was like bamboo, crystal clear.

Lu Fan looked at the jade slip handed over by Senior Brother Liu, and after hesitating slightly, he reached out and took it, and put it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.

"This is my Shangqing Sect's heart method, called "Shangqing Jue", which contains an introduction to all the cultivation of immortals, if you don't understand anything, come and ask me, this is what Elder Zhou asked me to give to you, you can understand it well, even if you can't succeed in cultivation, it will be of some help to your trial after three months. ”

Lu Fan listened to Senior Brother Liu's words, lowered his head and couldn't help but blush for a while, it turned out that Elder Zhou didn't just throw himself into the miscellaneous servant as he thought, so he didn't care.

"Brother Fan, you must take a good look at your enlightenment! Participate in the trial in three months, and enter the sect just like us!"

Li Qiang looked at Lu Fan excitedly and said with a spittle.

"Yes, Brother Fan, now the brothers are already disciples of the Shangqing Sect, let's go back to the village together, so that they can all be envious!"

Shen Dasha was on the side, and said leisurely, after two days of not seeing, Lu Fan found that his eyes seemed to be brighter than before.

"Yes, yes, Brother Fan, I don't know what happened to you in the Land of Trials, but there must be some reason that stopped you, and in three months, Brother Fan will definitely soar into the sky, so that those things who look down on you and look down on people will shut their mouths! Let them..."

Zhang Ergou became more and more energetic the more he spoke, looking at Lu Fan who was getting better, his heart was also very excited, and before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt as if someone had touched his arm, Zhang Ergou turned his head to look and found that Han Chong, who had not spoken, was squeezing his eyebrows at him, and kept raising his eyebrows...

"Yikes!"

Zhang Ergou reacted suddenly, knowing that he had overspoken, he quickly covered his mouth, stood aside with his head down, and was silent in his heart.

Lu Fan was listening, and suddenly Zhang Ergou was silent, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Ergou, thinking that his results in the trial might not be ideal, so Zhang Ergou would look forward and backward.

"Ergou, what is my ranking at the end of the trial?"

Lu Fan said in a low voice, clutching the jade slip in his hand tightly, the atmosphere in the air suddenly became depressing, and the joy of excitement because Lu Fan woke up was also swept away.

"Brother Fan..."

Zhang Ergou was hesitant and didn't dare to say more, Shen Dasha, Li Qiang and Han Chong also stood quietly on the side and were silent, Senior Brother Liu saw the scene in front of him, and had the heart to open his mouth to tell Lu Fan the truth, but he didn't know how to speak when the words came to his mouth.

The atmosphere became more awkward and weird, and after a while, Han Chong took a step forward, looked at Lu Fan's serious face, took a deep breath, and said slowly:

"Brother Fan, in the Thousand Step Stone Trial, that Sun Hao is the first place, and he has reached the one hundred and ninety-ninth step!"

Lu Fan listened carefully, and when he heard that Sun Hao, who was disgusting outside the trial land, had actually reached the one hundred and ninety-ninth order! Lu Fan was no less surprised than when he saw an immortal with his own eyes for the first time! Thinking that he could not bear it when he had only reached the tenth order, but Sun Hao, who was cold and arrogant, was able to hold on to the one hundred and ninety-ninth order! How much pain did he have to endure, and what kind of perseverance did he have to have to achieve it!

Lu Fan compared himself with that Sun Hao in his heart, and a sense of powerlessness came to his heart, Sun Hao's figure in Lu Fan's heart was infinitely magnified, like a big mountain pressing towards Lu Fan, making him breathless, at this time, Lu Fan suddenly realized that the scene outside the land of trials was not Sun Hao's arrogance, but that he already had enough capital to be proud of!

Han Chong looked at Lu Fan, who had a somewhat lonely expression, his heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said again:

"The rest of the people have also successfully passed the trial, and the four of us have also stopped around the fifty or sixty steps, and in the entire Thousand Step Stone Trial, only Brother Fan stopped at the tenth level and ranked last in the trial!"
