The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Ding Kui hurriedly urged the lame man to get up quickly.

After wiping his face and eating something, the lame man followed Ding Kui out.

After walking through many courtyards, I began to climb up the steps, and after a while, I walked into a thick mist.

After staring for a long time, the lame's forehead was covered with sweat, and his back was wet.

When Ding Kui saw it, he sneered and said: "Little lame, you must know the fixed number in everything, what you shouldn't fight, don't fight, don't give up your little life in vain!"

The two followed each other before and after, and when they were walking, they saw a light on the ground in front of them, and from a distance, a round of bright red sunrise slowly showed its head, and rose into the air in an instant, making the mountains and ravines suddenly covered with a layer of splendid glow.

The morning bell is long, the white cranes are chirping, and the mountains are undulating above the clouds, like a fairyland outside the sky.

There was a long-lost look in the crippled man's confused eyes.

"A fool who doesn't even know his name, what is he pretending, hurry up!" Ding Kui pushed him hard.

The lame man staggered forward a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

I heard a burst of ridicule from a distance, and I heard a person say coldly: "Ding Kui, you really have a long ability! My Luo Yun Sect has a once-in-a-century inner disciple recruitment ceremony, you actually found such a weak cripple, where do you put the face of our sect? You are not ashamed, we are still ashamed!"

"Yes, yes, Ding Kui might as well change his career and go to the almsgiving hall, which is specifically responsible for accepting the old, young and disabled, and making the best use of his talents!"

A group of people responded with a few words, making Ding Kui's face flushed.

Ding Kui's eyes were gloomy and he looked at the man in the lead: "Ma Zheng, this is the candidate set by Elder Li of the Renzi Hall! If you want to reason, you must find Elder Li! If you have real skills, you will see the difference in the annual competition, and you can't help you get the first place if you are reckless!"

Ma Zheng laughed and said: "You person, I don't know what to do! It's one thing to insult the sect's atmosphere, and it's one thing to compare the year, what kind of bastard is it!? Don't think that I'm afraid of you, don't say anything else, although I'm Ma Zheng can't win the first place, it's more than enough to defeat you Ding Kui!"

"Let's go, hurry up, Ding Kui, don't show up here!"

A crowd burst into laughter.

Ding Kui glared at everyone, and at this moment, he pushed the lame man hard, squeezed through the crowd, and headed for a large hall.

Ma Zheng's pupils contracted at this moment, and he said coldly: "The annual competition is approaching, keep an eye on Ding Kui for me, and report any troubles at any time! This time, I will beat him like a dead dog, and don't want to get up for the rest of my life!"

He and Ding Kui have had a grudge for many years. As soon as he was admitted to the sect, he was robbed of the jackpot by Ding Kui, and he was like a thorn in his heart.

"Senior Brother Ma, Ding Kui is just a miscellaneous, a mongrel that came out of nowhere back then, and he wants to be placed in our herringbone hall! That Elder Li actually discouraged the words of the hall, it was really black!" a person interjected.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ma Zheng snorted, and everyone was in the dark.

Passing through a square, I came to the door of a tall hall when I was young, and I saw a plaque in the center of the hall engraved with three big characters - "Zengxian Palace"!

When I entered the temple gate, I saw three people sitting in the middle, and the middle one was the hall of the herringbone hall, with three strands of long hair, and his appearance was majestic. The one on the right, with fair skin and a crepe look, was none other than Elder Li. The Zitang face on the left, without a beard, looks extremely powerful and unsmiling.

On both sides, there were more than a dozen inner hall disciples, neatly dressed and distinctly dressed.

At this moment, the cripple was pointed to stand in the middle of the group. There are only seven people in the team of the lame, and they are respectful at this moment, bowing their heads and ears, and listening to the instructions of the hall.

I heard the hall master say: "Young and virtuous people, you are the last batch of testers in this hall. As the saying goes, good flowers bloom last, and good times come last. Don't worry too much. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Luo Yunzong's apprenticeship ceremony, in order to recruit talents and avoid omissions, three tests are specially set up, and if you can pass the first two tests, you can be admitted to the inner door. ”

"Don't be discouraged if you don't pass the first two tests. If you have great perseverance, great courage, and are not afraid of the threat of death, you can choose whether or not to enter the True Spirit Realm and continue the test. It's just that once you enter the true spirit realm, life and death have their own destiny, and outsiders can't interfere. Those who can't get out of the True Spirit Realm will die! Those who go out of the True Spirit Realm will be born! And they can directly worship under Elder Li or Elder Ma in the main hall as their own disciples! Whether to choose or not, but by their own hearts!"

After the lecture was finished, Tang Zun asked the two elders on the left and right to take the last seven candidate disciples to the testing ground.

Come to a slightly secluded testing ground. I heard Elder Li say: "The first project is to try. As the name suggests, it is about measuring your whole body strength, including arm strength, leg strength, bounce strength, and power technique, etc. There are five test items. Now, the first test load starts right away!"

The content of this weight test is to distribute a back basket to each person, put 200 pounds of large stones in the basket, and then carry the basket to climb a step as high as 100 feet. Those who reach the finish line within the specified time will be counted as passing the test.

Seven men carried the stones on their backs and began to march towards the finish line.

Soon, three of them were far ahead, leaving the rest far behind.

The further up they went, the steeper the stone steps became, and the group was almost exhausted, and they fell crooked on the side of the road to rest.

When they looked back, they saw in the distance a thin body crawling up the steps. Because the man's body was too weak, he only climbed a short stone staircase, and his body was pressed down, and finally he could only use his hands and feet at the same time, with his knees on the top, and climbed up step by step, without much effort, leaving a dripping blood line on the stone steps behind.

Isn't that man lame or who?

The six people couldn't bear it, and they waved their hands and shouted one after another, telling the lame man to give up the test.

But as if he hadn't heard, the cripple gritted his teeth and climbed up. Later, the climb became more and more difficult, and it took almost half a day to move forward a small step.

Time passed quickly, and by the time the sun went down, four of the seven test people had already completed their tasks. Two others chose to give up.

At this moment, on the rugged stone steps, only the cripple was left.

At night, the sky is full of stars. The stone steps were covered with biting cold, and the cripple was still gritting his teeth and holding on.

He could barely climb in the end. I just felt as if there was a thousand catties of stone mountains pressing on my back, and I couldn't breathe.

He looked up at the stars on the mountain peak, blinking and blinking, as if several pairs of eyes were looking at him, those eyes were strange but familiar, as if they were silent encouragement and summons, reminding the lame man to continue to grit his teeth and climb up.

It wasn't until the early hours of the next morning that the cripple crawled nearly half the way with difficulty.

He had become a numb **, not moving for a long time, and after a while, he suddenly climbed up a flight of steps and lay on his stomach again.

At this moment, in this Luo Yun Sect, dozens of pairs of eyes looked at the thin figure, some were amazed, and more were ridiculed.

"The herringbone hall is not as good as a year after year, and now it is just a shame to recruit a cripple to test!"

"That little cripple has good perseverance, but unfortunately, perseverance alone is not enough, more is talent, there is no way out just by eating death!"

"Work hard, you unmotivated bastards, look at that cripple, are you ashamed compared to him!?"

But the lame man could not hear these words. The only thing he wanted at the moment was to climb to the top of the mountain.

In this way, the cripple crawled step by step in the muddy, crawling a bloody path that belonged to him.

It wasn't until the time of the child that the cripple finally climbed to the top of the mountain. He untied his basket and looked at the twinkling starlight in the sky, smiling and smiling cutely.

At this time, Ding Kui came over silently, put a cripple on his back, carried him down the mountain, and couldn't stop complaining: "If you can't do it, don't be reckless, do you know that you have far exceeded the specified test time, even if you climb up, what's the use?"

Ding Kui carried the lame man into the lower room, gave him some medicine, and fed him some gruel, and then quietly left.

The next day, the lame man was faced with a leapfrog test.

In front of the lame man was a deep pit about two feet long, and the bottom of the pit was covered with sharp stones. The requirement is to run through the run, and then, step out in one step, leap over the deep pit.

Ding Kui looked at the cripple with worry, he knew that it was impossible for the cripple to jump over, but he knew that he couldn't stop the cripple.

The cripple fell heavily on the first leap. His hands and feet, including his face, and his whole body, were scratched by the sharp stones at the bottom of the pit, but he still persevered, trembling and crawling up to perform the second leap test.

I don't know how many times the cripple has tested this day, but every time he fails. And, each time it gets harder than the other.

The sun was setting, and the lame man was crying so sadly that he pounded the ground with his fists and screamed.

"Elder Li said, you can continue this test tomorrow, not tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Ding Kui's eyes moistened a little, and he told the lame.

Seeing the cripple's eyes glow again, Ding Kui clenched his fists tightly.

Ding Kui silently carried the lame man back to the lower room, gave him medicine, fed him porridge, and then left silently.

As a result, the cripple failed again and again in the test, and failed again and again.

Later, this incident had already made the entire Luo Yun Sect know about it.

A lot of people think it's boring and not interesting.

However, some of the hallmarks regarded the lame man as an example, and often took those disciples who did not want to make progress, pointed at the lame, and shamed the disciples under his subordinates, such as the Crane Character Hall, the Ape Character Hall, and the Eagle Character Hall.

"Look at the cripple, look at you, who don't lack arms or legs, what are you not as good as a cripple?

"If you continue to be so muddy, the deity will completely sever the master-apprentice relationship with you, where did you come from, and where do you go back!"

Those disciples, looking at the cripple in the silent desperate struggle, showed guilt on their faces, and felt something in their hearts, and after that, they reined in their behavior a little, and finally made a lot of progress.

Some of the halls suddenly realized that they finally understood the meaning behind the herringbone hall doing this thing.

Before I knew it, half a year had passed.

By the early winter of this year, the cripple had finally completed all five of his tests.

On this day, Ding Kui changed the cripple into a new suit and took him to see Elder Li.

Elder Li looked at the cripple with a smile, and he personally led the cripple to do the second level of the inspiration test.

There was a purple crystal ball hanging in the house, and Elder Li instructed the lame man to put his palm on the crystal ball.

The crystal ball contains a large amount of spiritual power, as a tester without a spirit, it is necessary to stimulate the crystal ball to generate spiritual power through perception and stimulation of qi and blood, and then light up the spiritual light. There are nine levels of spiritual light intensity, and the lowest layer is a first-level spirit. Generally, the highest is a ninth-level spirit body. Above the ninth-level spirit body, you must go to another venue to test.

Elder Li told the cripple how to activate the crystal ball, and the cripple looked dazed, but he seemed to understand the meaning slightly.

The lame man held the crystal ball with both hands and stared at the front, exerting his greatest strength, as if he was going to crush the crystal ball in the next moment.

After a long time, the crystal seemed to glow slightly, and then, completely dimmed, there was no reaction.

Elder Li let out a long sigh. Lead the cripple and Ding Kui out.

He knew that the constitution of the lame man belonged to the worst category, and it was almost hopeless to cultivate demons in this life.

After walking for a while, Elder Li stopped, his face was quite serious, he looked at the lame man and said, "There is a chance, that is, to enter the True Spirit Realm, although there is not much hope for a body like yours, but entering the True Spirit Realm, even the innate spirit body is also expected to break through." It's just that it's very risky, do you dare?"

The cripple seemed to understand Elder Li's words and nodded vigorously.

The True Spirit Realm is not something that can be opened just by saying it.

After careful consideration, Elder Li decided to use his merits to fight for a chance for the lame.

Elder Li persuaded the hall again and again, and finally got approval.

Three days later, Elder Li led the cripple to the top of the Golden Dome of the Luo Yun Sect.

There was a large magic array arranged on the ground in front of him, and a large transparent ball of light rotated in the middle of the magic array, and the runes on the ball of light shuttled vertically and horizontally, and from time to time there were electric arcs flying, and there was a hissing and popping sound.

Guarding the True Spirit Realm was an elder with white hair, he looked at Elder Li and sneered, "Li Daozhen, is it worth it for a cripple who is almost a waste?"

Elder Li smiled slightly and said, "Dao Zhen does things, not to be meritorious, but to be worthy of it!"

"It's a good one, but I want to be worthy of it!

Hearing the elder's command, the two boys began to stuff the grooves around the magic array with spars, and the white-haired elder recited the true trick, and then heard a bang, and the magic array stirred up a pillar of light that soared into the sky, at this time, the transparent ball of light in it became more transparent, and if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to notice.

Elder Li looked at the cripple kindly and said, "Go, everyone has their own opportunity, this opportunity needs to be fought for, and it will also take time, go ahead, earn a big future for yourself!"

The lame man glanced deeply at Elder Li at this moment, and then without hesitation, he stepped into the ball of light.

The ball of light spun suddenly, faster and faster. Gradually, the flying ball of light began to shrink, and finally shrunk into a point of light, shooting into the core runes of the magic array, and disappeared.

Billowing mist appeared in front of the lame's eyes, and his eyes looked in all directions, boundless, and empty.

There was a blank look in the cripple's eyes.

In a trance, a grass hut suddenly appeared in front of him, and on the grass in front of the grass hut, a woman with a serene expression was feeding the chickens.

The lame's eyes welled up with tears, and he strode away and threw himself on the woman.

The house, the woman, and the chicken disappeared in an instant, and the lame man threw himself into the air and fell heavily to the ground.

I heard a long and mournful roar. Huge black shadows flew over and began to desperately bite the flesh on the cripple's body, and the cripple desperately rolled over and began to fight the ferocious Steppenwolf.

He was as crazy as a beast, and he became as desperate as a wolf, biting on the necks of one wolf after another, desperately sucking the fishy and astringent blood juice. He sucked the wolf's blood and fell into a deep sleep.

When he was in a trance, he suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a black shadow about three feet long towering in front of him, and then swooped up like lightning, and a pair of poisonous fangs bit under his jaw, hurting into the bone marrow.

His consciousness began to flow faintly, and at the moment when he was almost dying, his body began to tremble violently, and he stood up suddenly, grabbed the body of the poisonous snake, and instantly tore it into two parts.

He saw a huge warthog, a number of deer dogs, a bald ape, and finally, the most powerful enemy, the huge ghost, which was hideous!

He rushed over with all his might, fighting to the death against these countless enemies!

Steppenwolf, viper, warthog, deer dog, bald ape, heavenly ghost, these images are constantly generating and fighting in his conscious world, and the cycle repeats itself until it is endless, endless......

He seemed to be completely lost in this illusory realm of true spirits.

One month, two months, three months...... In the blink of an eye, almost a full year has passed.

During this period, Elder Li came to this golden top I don't know how many times. He couldn't hear anything.

If the entrant dies, the corpse will soon be sent out by the power of the True Spirit Realm.

If he doesn't send it, it proves that he is still alive.

Elder Li had hope. He hoped that the cripple would be able to pull off a miracle.

I had almost the same experience as the lame man at the beginning. If it hadn't been for the bloody struggle, he would probably have died long ago.

So he will help the lame. In fact, he is reminiscing about his past, and the cripple is almost a shadow of his youth.

In the realm of true spirits.

The lame man became shapely. He was so thin that there was only a layer of skin, wrapped around his skinny bones.

He was almost completely lost in hallucinations. Forgot everything, forgot all the origins, just constant fighting, tireless battles with countless fierce beasts, grinding flesh and blood until the spirit was hollowed out.

In the end, there was only a lonely skeleton left.

At this time, there seemed to be a voice sounding in the court of fate.

"The form is the labor of the gods, and the body is the destruction of life. Because I am there, I will be miserable. If you forget your body, where will you be sad? Give up your flesh and blood, and not regret it. There is nothing to give, nothing to destroy. There is nothing empty, there is nothing to lose, everything is empty, why not be ?......"

"When a person is physically and mentally damaged and empty, what can't be filled with such an empty skin? What can't be contained?"

The sound sounded like an initiation, and in an instant, it was like a basin of snow water poured down from the heavenly spirit cover, and the lame spirit shivered.

He appeared on top of the cliff in an instant, sitting cross-legged. He forgot the cause, forgot himself, forgot everything, and dissolved into this boundless world in an instant.

Unconsciously, a large amount of spiritual energy gathered above his head, and the spiritual energy formed a vortex, turning faster and faster, and the spiritual energy in this true spiritual realm suddenly swept over like a tide!

The aura gathered more and more, and a very large pressure was generated in the center of the whirlpool, attacking the Baihui acupoint at the strongest point.

With a snort, it sounded like an air bag had been punctured, and the aura suddenly had an outlet and began to rush madly into the Baihui acupoint!

The Baihui acupoint was gradually broadened into a larger and larger space, and then more and more spiritual energy was injected, becoming more and more condensed under the squeezing, and finally, it became like a stream of water, rotating rapidly, so that it produced a stronger devouring power.

In the True Spirit Realm, endless spiritual energy rolled in, and the lame's body was covered by a thick mist and disappeared.

In an instant, I heard a bang, and there was a roar in the Baihui acupoint, boiling like a sea.

The cripple's eyes opened in an instant, and they became sparkling.

At this moment, a thunderbolt flew down from the sky, and the lame man jumped up and pulled the lightning into his hand!

The whisker-like arc bursts!

In the dissipated smoke and dust, a figure that was burned black from top to bottom appeared, grinning and laughing at the moment.

He didn't take the burning pain of thunder and lightning seriously, he only knew that at this time, he had finally succeeded!

In the center of the Baihui Acupoint, a spirit seed appeared, shining with strange light and containing endless vitality.

The rich aura overflowed from the Baihui acupoint and permeated the whole body.

Skin burned by lightning begins to heal and heal.

What the cripple didn't know was that the demon spirits he planted were ethereal. Ethereal, empty, nothing, nothing, nothing. It is the rarest type of demon spirit. The ethereal is ready, looking at the demon cultivation from afar, and the scenery is infinite.

At this moment, the drop of essence blood from the heavenly ghost was secretly taking root in the dantian.

The lame man urged the whirlpool in the Baihui acupoint, and began to absorb the massive spiritual energy in the True Spirit Realm to the fullest, and then refined it into a thick spiritual breath.

The True Spirit Realm fulfilled him. Elder Li fulfilled him. In fact, it was the lame man who perfected himself.

Without his own determined efforts, how could a cripple succeed?

The spiritual breath spread out from the Baihui acupoint, and after a short time, it flowed into the dantian, forming a new cyclone.

The qi rotated, absorbing the power in the drop of heavenly ghost's essence blood, and slowly transforming it into its own true element.

The power in that drop of essence blood was too strong, and after only absorbing it for a short while, it overflowed the dantian.

The lame man began to drive the true yuan in the dantian to attack the meridians of the whole body, and after a while, he completed a week.

Once a week is completed, the meridians will be widened by one point, and the dantian will be widened by one round.

I don't know how many weeks of operation, the lame man's body was covered with a layer of fishy substance.

This is a new marrow washing and hair washing, and the reason is that the spiritual breath in his body is extremely powerful, so that the inside of his body has been cleansed more thoroughly.

Similarly, with the help of powerful spiritual power, the old scars and wounds all over the body disappeared. The skin of the lame person becomes as smooth and delicate as that of a newborn baby.

What he is cultivating at the moment is the method of refining the body of sword cultivation. It doesn't belong to the demon cultivators.

After planting spirits, there is Naling, and Naling is divided into nine levels.

The so-called Na Ling is the root of the spirit seed from the spiritual acupoint of the spirit seed, and spreads and grows all over the body until it spreads all the meridians and air pockets around the body, which is called the perfection of the Na Ling.

A drop of essence blood in the dantian rose up, and when it was young, it entered the Baihui acupoint, completely enveloping that spirit seed.

Because the aura in this True Spirit Realm was too sufficient, and also because the drop of essence blood was too powerful, after a while, there was a soft clicking sound, and a weak root broke through the shell and grew out.

Under the nourishment of powerful spiritual power, the roots grow very quickly, by branching, growing, branching again, growing, three months have passed, its length has reached about a foot, has extended to the neck.

Naling 1st, 2nd, 3rd......

The advancement of the Na Ling Realm seemed to be very fast and smooth. It wasn't until nine months later that the long roots finally extended to the springs at the soles of their feet.

The Great Perfection of the Naring Period!

From a distance, the lame man's body looked very strange, the spirit tree that grew in his body turned out to be hanging upside down, a tree that grew backwards. There are no leaves, only endless dense branches, extending downwards and densely connected to the flesh and blood of the body.

He is about to face a formidable test of the Tribulation.

The cripple did not blindly induce the catastrophe. He decided to continue cultivating the Twelve-Character Sword Technique.

At this moment, the cyclone in the dantian has become extremely rich, and the entire dantian is full of powerful spiritual breath, and with a slight turn, the limbs and hundreds of bones are full of infinite vitality. The cultivation of the Naling period and the refining period were not delayed slightly.

At this moment, the dantian had already recovered, and it seemed that cultivating the twelve-character sword technique had become much easier.

Feeling something, that drop of essence blood was detached from the spirit cave and still returned to the dantian.

The power of essence blood is too strong, and the ninth order of Naling only consumes a small part.

If the twelve-character sword technique is refined, the body at that time will be twice as strong, and it will be more confident in resisting the heavenly tribulation!
