I was overjoyed and hurriedly asked:

"Master, what's going on with the Genius Disciple Selection Competition?"

Master Zun smiled and said:

"This is a triennial disciple selection competition formulated by all the sects of the Tiexuan Dynasty, and the purpose is to send cultivation elites to the top sects.

Once he is favored by a top-level sect and becomes an inner disciple, or even an elite disciple, the sect he was originally in will be glorified.

This is a person who attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

The top sect will give a large amount of cultivation resources to the sect where he originally belongs, and will take care of him in all aspects.

A small sect like ours must have the backing of a top-level sect, otherwise it will be difficult to live a difficult life, and it will even be difficult to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes. ”

I asked again:

"So, what about those top sects?"

Master Zun Dao:

"Counting it up, there are four top-level sects in the territory of the Tiexuan Dynasty, namely the Seven Star Sword Sect, the Meteor Sword Sect, the Qi Tianmen, and the Black Soul Sect.

The first three sects belong to the decent sect, while the Black Soul Sect tends to be yin and evil.

The four top sects have a profound foundation and strong strength, with tens of thousands of disciples in the sect.

As long as you are favored by them, you will be able to soar to the sky.

Of course, there are also some second-level sects that are also good, such as the Cold Sword Sect, the Blue Blood Sword Sect, the Antarctic Sect, etc., which can be considered to be edified.

As a teacher, you are very optimistic about your roots and understanding, and over time, you will definitely be able to impress. ”

"Thank you, Master! In vain, you must work hard. ”

I was secretly happy in my heart, thinking that I finally had a chance to be promoted, so I stepped up my cultivation day and night, and my cultivation was also rising rapidly.

However, things are not so ideal.

After three months of calm, I received a summons from Wu Li, asking me to go to the back mountains to talk about things, as if he wanted to reconcile with me.

I didn't doubt him, so I went to the appointment on time.

But when I arrived at the back mountain, I found that something was wrong, and the senior brother and more than a dozen senior brothers surrounded me.

Senior Brother sneered:

"Yunlu, Lao Tzu has already greeted you and asked you to take the initiative to withdraw from the competition with me.

But not only did you disobey, but you relied on the support of your master and didn't take me as a senior brother in your eyes at all.

In this case, if you don't give me a way to live, Lao Tzu won't put up with it, I am here today to do you, I see how the master can save you. ”

I know that today is a catastrophe, and if I don't find a way to break out, I will probably die on the spot.

Because all the senior brothers are higher in cultivation than me, even if I can fight across the realm, I can only last for a while, and the only way is to flee desperately.

Without waiting for Wu Li and the others to make a move, I took the lead in attacking and broke through from the senior brother who had cultivated to the worst of the two peaks of the Qiankun Realm.

Although my Yunshui Nine Styles are incomplete, once I use my might, it is still terrifying.

The back mountain is high and densely forested, with countless cliffs.

I caught that senior brother off guard with one move, and forced a hole from him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I rushed out with all my strength and rushed out towards the dense forest.

But I'm fast, and so am my brother.

When I rushed into the dense forest, I was hit hard from behind by the sword qi of the senior brother, and I ran to the edge of the cliff with all my might, and when I saw that they had blocked the way to retreat, I jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

The cliff I jumped on was the most dangerous cliff in the back mountain, not to mention the high cliff, but also the wind was cold, and the miasma was swirling, and ordinary people did not dare to go down at all.

My jump made those senior brothers who persecuted me agree that I would definitely die, so they quietly left the cliff, went back and played a copy of me in front of the master, saying that I stole the secret book of the sect and absconded, unfortunately fell off the cliff, and my life and death were uncertain.

The master didn't believe it, and went to the cliff to check it himself, but looking at the miasma in the depths, he had to shake his head and sigh.

It's also my life that I shouldn't die.

No one expected that I would be caught by a dead tree in the middle of the road and fail to fall into the abyss.

When I woke up, it was a few days later.

Not only was I seriously injured, but I was also poisoned by miasma.

Fortunately, I carried the healing pill and antidote pill from Huawaifang with me, and I quickly stabilized my injury.

But it's not a way to hang here for a long time, you have to think about leaving.

But it was impossible to climb up, and there was a strong wind blowing on those knife-like cliffs.

Crawling on a cliff where there is no place to stand, dragging a seriously injured body will die when the wind blows.

The only way is to go down, although the miasma below is too heavy, but with the antidote pill in the body, there is a better chance of survival.

The most pleasing thing is that there is a thick clump of ancient baskets wrapped under the dead tree.

Grabbing the ancient basket, I slowly began to move, and it took me a day to reach the bottom of the cliff.

Luckily, when we got to the bottom, there was no miasma, just very dark and damp.

I found a relatively secret cave and hid it, healing my wounds while guarding against the demon beast and the senior brother and others.

Senior Brother and the others were afraid that I would not die, so they did make a detour into the bottom of the cliff to look for me.

However, the bottom was too wide and dark, the terrain was very complicated, and there were often powerful monsters, so they searched for it to no avail, so they quietly withdrew.

The only thing I am worried about now is encountering a powerful demon beast, and my seriously injured body is simply unable to resist.

I arranged a defensive formation and a psychedelic formation at the entrance of the cave, so that I could heal my wounds with peace of mind.

Wu Li's sword hurt my heart and made my recovery very slow.

I had to heal while practicing the three-in-one sword technique taught to me by Master You, so that I could go to the talent selection competition next year.

Another three months passed, and the pills I carried on my body were quickly exhausted, and there was a lack of cultivation resources at the bottom of the cliff, so I had no choice but to start looking for spirit grass, or go and kill demon beasts to obtain demon pills to improve my cultivation.

Finally, there is no end to the road.

I searched for many days, and finally found some useful spirit grass, and killed some demon beasts equivalent to the cultivation of the Void Realm, and obtained dozens of demon pills and demon beast meat, so that my body's recovery was accelerated, and my realm was also improved.

It's just that the injury of the heart is difficult to treat, and there is a dark disease.

Seeing that the day of the genius disciple selection competition was getting closer and closer, I had to find a way to get out of the bottom of the cliff.

It is absolutely impossible to return to the Triad Sect, and he may be killed by the senior brother's people before he sees Shizun.

Although my current cultivation has reached the sixfold peak of the Qiankun Realm, in front of Senior Brother and the others, I am still an ant.

I had no choice but to disguise myself and go to Moon City, where the event was held.

At that time, I was penniless and like a beggar, but fortunately, I prepared a large amount of demon beast meat in the Qiankun bag, so I didn't go hungry.

After a long journey, I finally found Moon City.

However, to participate in the selection competition, you must hold the nameplate issued by the organizing committee to be eligible to enter the competition.

I didn't have a nameplate, I was so depressed that I was sitting alone outside the arena in a daze.

At this time, a silver-haired old man who cultivated in the Heavenly Dao Realm walked up to me and looked at me quietly:

"Boy, do you have a nameplate?"

I looked at him and shook my head bitterly.

The old man sighed and said:

"It's a pity!

However, you can participate in the selection of outer disciples, and there may be a chance. ”

My eyes lit up and I asked eagerly:

"Senior, really?"

The old man smiled and said:

"Of course it's true, but we won't start selecting outer disciples until after the selection of genius disciples.

The selection of outer disciples is actually an opportunity for those who have no background, are poor and have difficulties in creating talents.

In the eyes of the old man, you should have a chance. ”

I clasped my hands into fists and saluted:

"Thank you for the guidance of your predecessors, Yunlu will remember it in my heart."

"Oh, your name is Yunlu.

Very good, my surname is Joe, if there is fate, we will definitely see you again. ”

After that, Senior Qiao left in a flash.

I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart, so I found a clean place in a secluded place in an alley in the city, and began to meditate and practice, waiting for the selection of outer disciples to begin.

The selection of genius disciples has been lost to me, and I don't want to care anymore.

If I can be selected as an outer disciple by a top sect, I will have the opportunity to become an inner disciple, or even an elite disciple, which is the only chance I have at present.

The selection of genius disciples lasted seven days before it ended, and it was finally the turn of the disciples to be selected.

I didn't expect that there were hundreds of thousands of people participating in the selection of outer disciples, and there were long queues at various selection locations.

Most of these people are from poor families, or they have not obtained the qualifications for the selection of genius disciples, so they all want to try their luck and strive to be favored.

Fortunately, the selection of outer disciples is not a ring competition, but through the detection and screening of realm, physique, supernatural powers, and divine sense, the cheap talents needed by the sect are selected from them.

I got the number 15,480 and waited for two days before I finally got my turn.

The realm of the outer disciples selected by the top sects must not be lower than the Qiankun realm, and I finally barely passed the test.

When I tested my physique, I didn't expect the test stone to unexpectedly emit a red light.

The inspectors were overjoyed, and this was the first time in two days that they had found that the test stone had reacted.

They immediately suspended the testing, and someone went to ask the elders in charge of the testing to define it.

After a while, four elders came, and among them happened to be Elder Qiao.

When Elder Qiao saw me, his eyes lit up:

"What, it's you?"

I don't know exactly what's going on, so I can only nod:

"It's me."

Elder Qiao didn't say a word, and immediately said to the other three elders:

"This son's name is Yun Lu, and he is a genius that I discovered by accident, so I guided him to participate in the selection of outer disciples.

Therefore, he belongs to me and to the Seven Star Sword Sect, so don't fight with me. ”

A fat middle-aged man:

"What did you find?

Who doesn't want such seedlings? You can't take possession! ”

Another bald elder disagreed with Elder Qiao's statement and retorted:

"Let's follow the rules and let him choose."

Another thin old man said:

"Before the re-inspection is confirmed, you have started to fight, does it make sense?"

Elder Qiao immediately laughed a few times dryly, and instructed the personnel in charge of the inspection to start re-inspecting Yunlu.

The retest requires a drop of blood on the test stone, rather than pressing your hand on the test stone as in the initial test.

A drop of blood was on the detection stone, and the detection stone immediately emitted a red light, showing that it was the blood of the green dragon, but it was slightly thinner.

But it was enough to amaze the four elders.

Because after two days of testing, the ten long queues only detected five special holy bodies and special bloodlines, which can be seen to be precious.

Elder Qiao immediately said to me:

"Yunlu, you don't have to take the test later.

Standing in front of you now are the elders of the four top sects of the Seven Star Sword Sect, the Meteor Sword Sect, the Qi Tianmen, and the Black Soul Sect, and you can choose freely.

Whoever you choose, we have no opinion.

You can now name your choice. ”

At this time, there were already many second-level sects and some small sect elders around them, and their eyes also showed a fiery look.

And among these people, there is You Taizhong, the head of the Triad faction.

I didn't know that he was in the crowd, so I didn't hesitate to choose the Seven Star Sword Sect where Elder Qiao was.

After all, it was Elder Qiao who showed me a path and gave me the opportunity to enter the top-level sect, and this favor had to be repaid.

Elder Qiao was overjoyed, and said hehehe:

"Good boy, you made the right choice, come with me now."

"Wait!"
