There are several ways for an outer disciple to be promoted to an inner disciple. One is that the qualifications for cultivating immortals are particularly excellent, such as the Heavenly Spirit Root or the Ice Wind Thunder Mutated Spirit Root, or some special physiques such as the Xuanyin Body and the Xuanyang Body, once the sect discovers it, it will inevitably focus on cultivation. The second is to make special contributions to the sect, such as discovering rich reserves of mineral veins and spiritual veins, etc., and the sect will also give rewards for entering the inner gate. There is also a kind of outer door Dabi.

There are many forms of this outer door competition, first of all, there is a competition for monks in the Qi training period, and monks in the late stage of Qi training and monks who are not over 30 years old can participate. The fighting method of the foundation building monks is also a competition between cultivators who are not more than thirty years old. The second is the competition of special skills, such as alchemy and refining.

There are tens of thousands of disciples in the outer gate of the Xuantian Sect, of which more than ninety percent are disciples in the Qi cultivation period, even so, there are still three or four hundred foundation building disciples staying in the outer gate now, not including the miscellaneous disciples of each peak, the total number is about five hundred, but the age of less than thirty is a hurdle, and there are probably not many foundation building monks who are not yet thirty years old. The selection of foundation building monks in the sect is mainly based on age, after all, the younger the age, the greater the potential, and generally qualified foundation building monks will enter the inner gate for training. This time, there are only four disciples from the outer sect of the sect foundation building realm and miscellaneous disciples from various peaks who meet the conditions, and there are two alchemists, one refiner, and only one person who actually fights the method.

Due to his immersion in cultivation and refining, Xie San did not participate in the last Outer Gate Competition, and this time he decided to participate in the Outer Gate Competition. However, Xie San did not choose the fighting method, on the one hand, Xie San did not have the skills to get his hands on, and the sword drawing technique paid too much attention to speed, which may cause death, and it was not good to learn from the same door. The Xuantian Nine Swords are the core exercises of the sect, and they must not be divulged. On the other hand, he already had confidence in refining weapons, so Xie San chose to compete in refining weapons. Formations and runes can be used for fighting, so there is no special competition, but if there are outstanding formations and runes in the big competition, they may be discovered by the Heavenly Array Mountain and the Divine Rune Peak and included in the inner door cultivation.

The big competition of the sect is one of the major events of the Xuantian Sect, and the big competition every three years is also an important way for the disciples of the outer sect to enter the inner gate, and it is also a big stage to verify what they have learned. Almost all eligible disciples will participate, and even if they don't succeed in entering the inner gate, it will be good for themselves. There are very few miscellaneous disciples of Danfeng and Tianshan who participate in the fighting method, and they specialize in the art industry, after all, the alchemists and refiners are mainly good at alchemy refining tools, and the fighting method is still forgotten.

Xuantian Sect has a huge outer gate and has jurisdiction over tens of thousands of disciples, which does not mean that the sect does not pay enough attention to the cultivation of the outer gate. There are also many branches in the outer gate, including various weapons, formations, talismans, alchemy appliances, etc., to cultivate different talents. It's just that because of the large number of people, the competition is extremely fierce. In addition to earning the sect's contribution and exchanging the cultivation resources required by individuals, they are the support of the family behind them.

On this day, many people gathered on the Zongmen Square, and thirty-six huge martial arts platforms stood on the square, each of which had an old man in charge of the formation, and there were also some disciples around to maintain order. I saw an old man coming from the sky and staying in the center of the square.

"I am Qi Shengtian, the elder of the outer gate of the sect, and today we have ushered in the outer gate competition once every three years, and it is also a great opportunity for the second class to enter the inner gate for further study. The disciples participating in the competition this time need to pay attention to their identity jade cards, which will automatically display their respective opponents and the information of the competition table. Below I announce, Dabi begins! The voice was faint and penetrating, and the words clearly reached the ears of every disciple in the square.

Xie San participated in the refining competition, and there were only twenty-three applicants. Xie San came to a stone room on the east side of the square according to the information displayed by the jade plate, and when he entered it, he found that there was a lot of space inside, and there were thirty-six refining furnaces that were set up to connect the earth fire with a formation inside.

The twenty-three people who participated in the competition were arranged next to a refining furnace in turn, and the senior brother in charge of it gave each person a storage bag, which contained some refining materials.

"Today, you are mainly refining a medium-grade spiritual weapon from the materials in the storage bag, and the elders will evaluate it according to the spiritual weapon you have refined, and the evaluation results will be displayed in your identity jade plate, and the top ten will enter the retest, and the top three will be determined." The steward said.

Twenty-three people began to refine the weapon, among which Xie San's movements were particularly tame, everyone opened the formation, and after the furnace temperature rose, they began to methodically input the material to purify and remove impurities, and when all the materials were purified, they began to slowly fuse the materials, the furnace embryo, and each person refined the embryo according to their own ideas, and opened the blade. Finally, the key step is to engrave the formation, and the quantity and quality of the inscription pattern determine the level of the spirit weapon. Of course, due to the limitation of materials, there is also a limit to the number of inscription patterns, otherwise the material grade is too low to withstand too many patterns. Xie San engraved thirty-six formation patterns, which was also the limit of a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and a sword of a medium-grade spiritual weapon also took Xie San three hours. Everyone has also completed the refining of weapons one after another, basically completing the refining of medium-grade spiritual weapons, and the senior brother in charge will include the weapons refined by all the contestants one by one.

"The disciples who received the information three days later came here to take the retest, and they all dispersed today." Senior Brother Steward announced.

Twenty-three disciples rushed out, some went directly back to the place where they lived to cultivate, and some rushed to the square to watch the fighting method competition. Xie San also walked to the square to see the monk's fighting technique. Xie San had almost never fought with a monk, and had almost no experience with a monk. When I came to the square, I saw a few familiar faces along the way, and after six years, several people have matured a lot. These people are the Wei family brothers and sisters and the Li family sisters, as well as several family children. Xie San walked over and greeted a few of them one by one.

"Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you go down the mountain in the past six years, and I haven't come to talk to my brother or me for a drink." Wei Zhaolong slapped Xie San's chest.

"Yes! Brother Peng Fei, what have you been busy with in the past six years? Don't come to see us, we can't enter the volcano that day," Wei Zhaofeng pouted. "Why don't you go to Danfeng, I still want to find you for alchemy?"

"Over the years in the Heavenly Volcano, I have to serve my senior brother refining weapons, and I just want to learn, I'm too busy, I'm having a treat today, and everyone won't get drunk and won't return." Xie San hurriedly apologized.

"Then it's decided, I'll wait for me to finish the competition, I'll go to Tingyulou, and today I want to taste the drunken immortal brew of Tingyulou." Wei Zhaolong laughed.

Wei Zhaofeng and the Li sisters have become more mature and beautiful over the years, and the gathering of several people is too eye-catching. This laughter attracted the attention of everyone around him. made a few people embarrassed to laugh anymore, and at this time it was Wei Zhaolong's turn to compete on stage, so everyone began to pay attention to the game.
