Luoxian Town, Xuanhuang County

This day is the day when Lingyun Sect tests the Immortal Yuan and accepts disciples once every five years. www.biquge.info At this time, the only square in the town was bustling with activity, and the five-year Xianmen selection was in full swing, attracting teenagers from all over the world.

In the open space in the middle of the square, 300 young men and women lined up neatly, their immature faces full of nervousness and solemnity.

"Elder Qi Wan, the fifth batch of three hundred teenagers is in place, and they are ready to start testing. A young man dressed in a purple robe said with a slight fist hug to the white fat middle-aged man on the stage.

Hearing this, Elder Wan, who was sitting on the main seat and was closing his eyes to recuperate, opened his eyes slightly and swept over the audience, nodded and said, "Then let's start." ”

The young man in purple received the reply and immediately took action. I saw that his hands were slightly accumulated, and he slowly pushed towards the long table in front of him, and hundreds of three-foot-long white jade plaques that had already been placed on the table rose out of thin air, shooting directly at every teenager in the field, and hovered in front of the tester in the blink of an eye.

"Everyone can sit cross-legged with the spirit test card in front of you, I am going to urge the spirit selection array, don't move around. After the purple-clothed young man finished speaking, he didn't look at the situation under the stage, and turned around to play several magic tricks at a jade tablet that controlled the magic circle.

Suddenly, a mysterious fluctuation echoed in the square, and at the same time, a hazy light curtain covered the whole audience, and every teenager felt that the jade card in his hand was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, suddenly cold and hot, so amazing.

Chu Yuan held the jade plate in his hand tightly, and he was very worried in his heart, the quarter of an hour to decide his fate was in front of him, whether it would fly to the nine heavens or fall into the dust, everything was about to be revealed.

Chu Yuan is sixteen years old this year, which can almost be regarded as the oldest among the candidates who participated in the test, and once the age of the Xianmen is past eighteen, he is not eligible to participate in the selection, so there are very few teenagers who can participate in the election at this age.

In fact, it stands to reason that he should have participated in the last selection, that is, five years ago. But he was hindered by others, missed the selection date, and fell into the current situation.

He had always had some suspicions in his heart that the people who were secretly hindering might be those so-called cousins of his own, otherwise why would he walk down the street in such a good manner, and be beaten all over his body by a stranger because of an almost ridiculous misunderstanding, and even break his leg bones. Those cousins have always been jealous of their physical talents, and they also resent that they lost face in the family competition, and often found excuses to make things difficult for themselves.

Chu Yuan clearly remembered that at this time five years ago, he was disabled, and he traveled thousands of miles to participate in the Xianmen selection in the company of his parents, but his body in pain could not withstand the long-distance travel, and he was delayed several times along the way, and finally missed the deadline for the selection, which made him regret it for several years.

That year, his childhood sweetheart playmate Ye Yuer, who had always called him Brother Yuan's good friend Li Chenyi, passed the selection of Xianmen and left him, without any more news. He only occasionally heard rumors from the Ye family that the young lady of his family and the son of the Li family had been appreciated by the masters of the Xianmen, and had already worshiped the famous teacher and entered the inner door.

In the following years, Chu Yuan experienced several major changes in his life. In the process of finding the truth about his murder, he was repeatedly frustrated, and even provoked unknown forces to secretly poison their family, and his parents died at the hands of the enemy in order to protect him. Chu Yuan, who escaped with his life, did not dare to return to his family, wandering around Xuanhuang County, relying on hard labor for others to make a living.

All these years, he has not forgotten hatred and has not given up hope of revenge. But he also knows that he can't use the power of his family, and it is a fool's dream to want revenge, and now the only hope is now, that is, to enter the immortal gate, and only by becoming an immortal cultivator who flies to the sky and the earth can he get repaid for everything he carries.

A quarter of an hour passed slowly, and everyone stared nervously at the jade plaque in their hands, as if they were afraid of missing any subtle changes.

Seeing that the time had come, the purple-clothed man on the stage slowly dispersed the magic trick in his hand, the light curtain dissipated, and the situation in the square immediately appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Among the three hundred people who accepted the selection, only the jade plaques in the hands of only four people had changed, and among these four people was Chu Yuan, and the jade medals of the other two hundred and ninety-six people did not react, which also marked that they had all been eliminated in the first level. Many teenagers who knew their fate unconsciously began to sob, and for a while the atmosphere in the square was a little sad.

"Okay, except for the four of him, everyone else can put down the jade card and leave, the next test will be held in an hour, and the four of you will come to the stage. I didn't see how hard the young man in purple worked, but the voice spread to every corner of the square, and even the onlookers outside could hear it clearly. As if it had magical power, the sound immediately shocked the audience, and the crying and noise were all immediately stopped, and everything became orderly again.

Chu Yuan was excited at this time with a hint of uneasiness, he had always felt that he would have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, but he only stayed in his good wishes, and now that it was confirmed, he was inevitably excited in his heart. On the other hand, the color of the jade plate in his hand made him feel bottomless, his jade plate did not emit a bright light of red or blue or earthy yellow like others, but the whole body appeared in a gray state, the light was dim, and the middle was pitch black and deep like a black hole, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good number.

The four teenagers, two men and two women came to the stage, and were led by the purple-clothed young man into an elegant room behind the scenes, where two middle-aged men with fairy wind and bones were sitting on two low couches with their eyes closed.

"Qi Qi two deacons, these four people are this batch of teenagers who have passed the primary election, please two adults to retest one or two. The purple-clothed young man said respectfully, and then stepped aside.

"Oh, have four more people been selected? I wonder if there are any talented people this time. Hearing this, the two deacons looked at the four people in the audience together, showing an interested expression, "You guys hand over the spirit test card in your hand." ”

Chu Yuan, who was in a worried mood, was also observing the situation of the other three while handing over the spirit test card. Compared with himself, the situation of the other people's spirit cards was much better, two fiery red colors, one light blue, both emitting a faint fluorescence.

"Two fire attribute spirit roots, one water attribute spirit root, hey, what kind of attribute is this, the color is so strange, is it a multi-attribute miscellaneous spirit root? This water spirit root is not at all ranked, and the two fire spirit roots are barely considered to be first-class, as for the last one, the strains are too mixed, and there is no way to judge at all." One of the deacons whispered as he looked at the spirit card.

"Well, I know that's the case. The second- and third-level spiritual roots are extremely difficult to come out, not to mention what has reached the category level, the last session produced two Xuanpin pure spiritual roots, it was really the old Song that guy took the **** luck, and he was directly transferred back to the inner door to be promoted to the head of foreign affairs, which was both easy and rich in oil and water, and he really didn't change it for a fairy. The other deacon said with a dejected look.

"Brother Zhao, you don't have to count on such a good thing, if we can complete the task this time, we will burn high incense, fortunately, the first few batches have produced two third-level pure spiritual root talents, and there will be three or five more you and I will be able to hand over the errand. The two deacons discussed their own affairs as if no one was around, regardless of the mood of the four people in the room.

At this time, Chu Yuan's mood could be said to have almost sunk to the bottom, although he didn't know much about what the two of them were talking about, such as spiritual root attributes and spiritual root grades, but he could still hear a thing or two about the quality of the words miscellaneous spiritual roots and unknown grades. It was obvious that his spiritual root grade was too poor, so that the other party was not interested in delving into it, how could this not make him lose it.

You must know that the words of these two people will affect his future fate, and if he can, he kneels and kowtows and asks to enter the immortal gate. However, the experience of wandering outside for many years made him understand that even if he did so, his future would not change in the slightest, and would only attract merciless ridicule and contempt, and these high-ranking immortal cultivators would not care about the prayers of a mortal. Unless he can come up with something that will make them happy, or he can give it a try, but he is just a poor boy, a poor boy who can hardly eat, and all he can do now is silently pray to God.

The two deacons discussed for a while, and finally the middle-aged man known as Brother Zhao glanced up at the four of them and said, "The two Fire Spirit Roots stay, and the other two can go." ”

Although he had been prepared, Chu Yuan was still dizzy by the news he heard, and the hope that he had always been unwilling to give up was so lightly dashed. Those grievances, those hatreds, and those persistences of the past five years have all turned into clouds and smoke at this moment, drifting away without a trace.

In a trance, Chu Yuan didn't know how he got out of the house and how he left the test venue.

When he recovered from his trance, he found that he and another eliminated teenager were in a private room in the town's inn.

The young man in purple was also in this private room, talking to a middle-aged man with a rich appearance.

"Master Cui, I have already brought the people, as for whether you can convince them to join your faction, it all depends on your own ability. But the ugly words are said in the front, you must not use unsightly means, if there are rumors such as the mysterious disappearance of a young man with spiritual root qualifications, I will never let you go, even your sect. The young man in purple spoke very politely, and he didn't take this head surnamed Cui in his eyes at all.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the master laughed, even if Cui Mou was given a hundred dares, he couldn't do such a thing. Master Cui hurriedly smiled and said, "My sect has always been a loyal supporter of the door, and it has been thanks to the grace of the doorman for many years to have its current status, where can I dare to do something that insults the reputation of the door, this master can definitely rest assured." ”

"It's good to know, then I'll go first, and I'll take care of the rest myself. The young man in purple was not polite, turned around and walked out the door.

"The master walks slowly, Cui still has some things to ask the teacher. Cui Changmen said that he was asking for advice, but he turned over and took out a small bag of items and respectfully presented it to the other party.

The young man in purple took it casually, weighed it, and walked away in his arms.
