Reaching a higher platform, meeting a new challenge, and facing a stronger opponent, Qin Ye, who had always been calm, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and felt that his blood was boiling again, as if the path of cultivation that had been boring for many years had ushered in the light again.

Although he didn't practice much during this time, this state of mind made the bottleneck of the Seventh-Order Martial Sect, which had not been loosened for a long time, quietly loosen a little, as long as he found a little opportunity, he might be able to make another breakthrough!

……

One day, in order to reward Xiaozhou for his progress in the formation path, Qin Ye decided to take him to a restaurant in the town to eat, and Xiaozhou was very excited about it.

Through his understanding of Shouchun Town during this time, Qin Ye directly took Xiaozhou to the largest restaurant in the town called Shouchun Pavilion.

The two of them went directly to the highest third floor and chose a window seat to sit down, which was not only spacious, but also could see the lively scene on the street.

Qin Ye ordered a large table of wine and food, and saw that Xiao Zhou's mouth was greedy.

"Uncle Ye, when I become a powerful cultivator in the future, I will invite you to drink the best wine in the world!" Tian Xiaozhou said vaguely while grabbing the wine and food and sending it to his mouth.

Qin Ye smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for that day!" ”

Just when the two were talking and laughing, two middle-aged people sat at a nearby table, and the content of their chat fell into Qin Ye's ears.

"I heard that several nearby sects are going to start recruiting disciples again, and the announcements have been posted on the notice board in the town. Hey, I don't know if my family can pass the assessment this time, and which sect will accept it......"

"Oh, I know that, I've read the notice carefully. My daughter just turned 10 this year and is getting her to participate! Even if you can't get through, at least you have an experience, and you'll come back next year! ”

"But my unscrupulous son is eighteen years old this year, which is the oldest age for the sect to recruit disciples. If you fail this year, then you won't be able to enter those big factions again! ”

"I said, Old Bear, why are you so persistent, you have to let your son worship a few top sects. With your kid's cleverness, it's easy to enter a slightly inferior sect! ”

"Lao Lu, what you said is light, whose parents don't want their children to worship a better sect? The starting point is high, and the end point is far! If I worship those inferior sects, I might as well train myself at home! ”

"Hehe, Brother Xiong, don't bother, drink and drink!"

……

After hearing these words, even Tian Xiaozhou, who was eating well, put down the food in his hand and turned his head enthusiastically.

Qin Ye called Xiao Er to the shop, threw him two high-grade spirit stones, and said loudly: "Xiao Er, our table of wine and food and the table next to it are settled together, no need to make change!" ”

When Xiao Er heard this, he accepted the spirit stone with a smile, served a pot of hot tea for both sides, and retreated.

Seeing this, the two middle-aged people sitting next to him immediately bowed their hands to Qin Ye and expressed their gratitude with a smile.

At the same time, the two were invited to sit together, and the four of them happened to share a table, anyway, they were drinking and chatting, and there were many people.

Qin Ye was not humble either, and sat down with Tian Xiaozhou.

"Brother, do you have something to ask?" The middle-aged man, known as Lao Xiong, asked straight to the point.

Everyone is an old man, there is no hatred for no reason, and there is no love for no reason.

Seeing a stranger settle for them without looking malicious, either they have something to ask for or want to inquire about it, these are all kinds of reasons.

Qin Ye didn't beat around the bush either, and said frankly: "I heard the two of you just talk about the sect's recruitment of disciples. To tell you the truth, this time I brought my nephew to Shouchun Town, just to help my nephew worship those big factions! ”

"So I want to ask the two brothers about the relevant news, so that it can be followed up!"

When the two middle-aged men heard this, they immediately realized and agreed with a smile.

The middle-aged man surnamed Lu spoke: "I have read in detail the announcement of the recruitment of disciples by the major sects this time, but I can tell you about it!" ”

Qin Ye hugged his fists and said, "I want to hear it!" ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Lu said slowly: "The conditions for the major sects to recruit disciples this year are the same as in previous years, first of all, the age requirement is over ten years old, and under eighteen years old. ”

"Secondly, the time and place of the assessment is the fifth day of the next month, and the Dunjia Sect will hold this year's disciple selection conference for each sect in its sect, and each sect will send elders to participate in the meeting to select the favorite disciples among the candidates."

"Third, the assessment method is very simple, divided into two links! The first link is to test the candidates' talent and qualifications, and the second link is to arrange candidates to fight. ”

"Needless to say, the former is to test their mental endurance."

"After the assessment of the two links, if you can impress the elders of a certain sect, then he will throw an olive branch on the spot, enter the mountain gate, and bring it back to the sect!"

After listening to the words of the middle-aged man surnamed Lu, Qin Ye keenly caught a question and asked: "According to what the elder brother said, the younger brother still has a question that he doesn't understand!" ”

"The teenagers who participated in the selection are from ten to eighteen years old, although the age span is not large, but it seems a little unfair to let them compete on the same stage!"

"After all, at this age, the older ones will have a certain advantage!"

In response to Qin Ye's question, the middle-aged man surnamed Lu explained with a smile: "I understand what you mean, but have you ever thought that these sects organize a large-scale disciple selection conference every year. ”

"If it were those seedlings with good qualifications, they would have been snatched away by various factions a long time ago, where would they be reduced to eighteen years old and no sect would be willing to recruit them?"

"So, the older the candidates, the more wasted they are, and they may not be able to fight those young and qualified teenagers!"

"Besides, it doesn't mean that if you defeat your opponent, you will definitely be favored by the big sects. This is a comprehensive consideration, sometimes even if you are defeated, but the sect elder feels that you have potential, and you have shown something to attract him in battle, you will also be recruited by it. ”

"On the other hand, if you just defeat a younger opponent by virtue of your old age and a few more years of cultivation of the True Yuan, your own qualifications are mediocre, and such a candidate will not be favored by the elders of the various factions!"

The middle-aged man surnamed Lu was obviously a big-mouthed man, and when he said this, he didn't care about the ugly face of the middle-aged man surnamed Xiong next to him.

He sat down, and his son was eighteen years old and had not yet worshiped the sect, which really made him lose face as a father.

However, after listening to this explanation, Qin Ye and Tian Xiaozhou thoroughly understood the key to the selection of disciples by various sects.

……

An hour later, Qin Ye and Tian Xiaozhou walked out of the restaurant, the two of them were full of wine and food, and they also got quite useful information, this meal was very valuable.

"Uncle Ye, do you think I can be favored by the elders of those sects?"

"After all, I'm sixteen years old, which is not the best age to practice. And I know for myself that talent is not good. ”

"Although Uncle Ye has been bothering to refine the elixir for me to regulate his physique, he still hasn't improved much, compared to those children in the mainland who have taken the elixir since childhood, I have lost at the starting line!"

Xiaozhou said worriedly as he walked.

Qin Ye rubbed his head and encouraged, "In this Middle-earth Continent, even I don't dare to be arrogant. ”

"But I was in the same situation when I was your age."

"At the beginning, I worked as a handyman in a sect, although I was a little frustrated, but I never gave up hope, and then I experienced countless near-death encounters, step by step to today."

"Remember, if you are self-indulgent, then your spiritual path has already come to an end early."

"But if you stick to your dreams, then the spark will also burn the prairie day!"

After listening to Qin Ye's words, Tian Xiaozhou was silent.

After a long time, the young man said heavily: "Uncle Ye, you gave me a new life!" I will definitely live up to your expectations and never give up the pursuit of the pinnacle of martial arts! ”

Qin Ye believed in Xiaozhou's words, children from poor backgrounds often have a stronger will.

Even if they have a lower starting point than those children born with a golden spoon, as long as they are willing to put in ten times and a hundred times the effort, the end of the future is immeasurable.

The two continued to walk around the town, passing by a lively shop, Qin Ye took a look and saw that it was a shop selling utensils.

He was just about to see the refining level of Middle-earth, so he took Tian Xiaozhou and walked in together.

Turning around inside, there are knives, guns, swords, halberds, sticks, clubs, whips, shields, flags and other utensils, and the quality is not bad.

While tasting, Qin Ye explained the classification of utensils to Xiaozhou.

"The grade of the utensils is divided into four levels, and each level is divided into upper, middle and lower grades by quality."

"The soulless weapon is called a yellow-rank weapon, refined to the extreme, and the sharpness is incomparable;"

"A spiritual weapon without a psychic weapon is called a Xuan-level treasure weapon, and through the magic of the treasure weapon, you can achieve a power bonus;"

"The psychic artifact is called the earth-level spiritual weapon, which can communicate with the user's mind and move at will;"

"The spirit is called a heaven-level artifact by the innate weapon, and the spirit of the instrument is just beginning to open, and the divine power is unpredictable!"

Tian Xiaozhou kept Qin Ye's explanation firmly in his heart.

After tasting the utensils in the store, I found that the most inferior of them was also a yellow-rank high-grade weapon, and there were a few high-grade treasures in the best of the best.

However, this level still couldn't attract Qin Ye, after all, he had a Red Flame Divine Sword, although the original weapon spirit was erased and temporarily replaced with the demon soul of the nine-headed demon snake. Its grade has dropped a lot, but it is also comparable to a high-grade spiritual weapon.

Qin Ye had always hoped that one day, he would be able to reintegrate the Red Flame Divine Sword into the Artifact Spirit, so that it could regain its glory and become a true Heaven-level artifact again!

Although there are no eye-catching artifacts, since he is here, he just equips Tian Xiaozhou with a few weapons for self-defense, so that he can participate in the selection of sect disciples next month.

After a long time, Qin Ye bought a shield, a set of armor, a halberd, and a few array flags, all of which were given to Xiaozhou.
