"Fortunately, I don't have to participate in this outer disciple selection competition."

Since Ye Qingling has promised, he shouldn't even be able to do this little thing, he just needs to show up at the last roll call.

Half a day later.

Zhang Liang finally learned some of the situation on Qingfeng Island in recent years, as well as the details of this outer disciple selection competition.

First of all, the lobster hunt is still ongoing, but the lobster has begun to gradually recede, and now it is the final fishing season. And it will take nearly two months before the selection of outer disciples.

Therefore, after a month and a half of roll call, Zhang Liang can be present.

Secondly, in less than three years, the overall number of fishermen and farmers on nine islands such as Qingfeng Island has fallen by more than 50%, and the number of fishermen and farmers left today is more than 4,000.

But the decline of fishermen and fishers has gradually decreased over time.

After all, anyone who survives in this kind of shrimp tide and fellow workers will grow rapidly, and the cautious mind has long been engraved into everyone's soul.

According to various sources, the average strength of these fishermen who are still alive has increased by one or even two orders. Therefore, today's fishery and agriculture, there are very few people who practice qi in the third layer, the fourth layer of qi training is the mainstream, the fifth layer of qi training is a relatively powerful fishery and farmer, and the sixth layer of qi training is still a minority.

After all, the Spirit Lobster Tide is only three years, even if the Spirit Immortal Palace intervenes, and the resources and environment obtained by the fishery and farmers are all improved, it is still too difficult to promote to the sixth level of Qi training.

After all, most fishermen and farmers have low spiritual root qualifications, and it may be difficult to cultivate to the late stage of qi cultivation in this life, and according to common sense, even if they can be promoted to the peak of the middle stage of qi training, it will take decades of hard work.

Rao is like Zhang Liang, there are many opportunities, and even with the assistance of high-grade spirit stones, he has only reached the fifth layer of qi training, and he can touch the threshold of the sixth layer of qi training.

Therefore, at this time, the fishermen and farmers who had reached the sixth level of Qi cultivation would have a great chance of being successfully selected as the outer disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace.

As for the selection of outer disciples.

From what Zhang Liang has learned so far, it seems that the Lingxian Palace is going to accept 40 outer disciples from these 4,000 fishermen and farmers.

Obviously, this is to find the best among the remaining fishermen and farmers.

In addition, it is said that among the 40 outer disciples, there will not necessarily be a single inner disciple.

When Zhang Liang heard the news, he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

In this kind of selection, the person who is selected must be very outstanding. And if you want to be brilliant, you must do your best and play your hole cards, which Zhang Liang doesn't like.

The immortal cultivation realm is not like the kraken realm, low-level kraken, the spiritual intelligence is not high, and the mind is simple. And most of the immortal cultivators are thoughtful, obscure, and vicious.

Therefore, if it is too prominent, it will always make people feel like a thorn in the back, which is not wise.

Zhang Liang bought a large number of sea cockroaches in the Xianfang, and added some first-order high-grade spirit talismans in the Lingxian Building, so he found a mountain along the coast, built a shed, and began a journey of penance.

Since he must enter the Spirit Immortal Palace, he doesn't have to think much about the selection competition. Improving your strength as early as possible is the key. After all, when I arrived at the Spirit Immortal Palace, I didn't know what kind of trouble I was going to encounter.

……

A month and a half, in a flash.

Except for going to Qingfeng Immortal Fang every day to buy sea cockroaches and continue to replenish spirit runes, Zhang Liang spent the rest of his time cultivating.

Now, he has completely touched the bottleneck of the sixth layer of qi training, but two days ago, the impact was unsuccessful, and he felt a little tightness in his chest.

This day is the last day of the fish and farmers roll call at the Seifeng Dock.

Now.

Qingfeng dock, full of people, more than 4,000 boats, spread out on the sea.

What is visible to the naked eye is that almost everyone has a smile on their face. Because of this kind of frequent going to sea, fighting and looting, it is finally coming to an end.

The rest is to compete for the place of the outer disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace.

Most people still have self-knowledge, and this kind of competition, if they are not the fifth or sixth layer of Qi training, they don't dare to think about it at all. If they had a choice, they would rather give up this selection.

But the reality is, no. Lingxian Palace requires that all the remaining fishermen and farmers must participate in the selection. As for the rules for selection, they have not yet been issued.

But this can only make the fishermen and farmers who have the intention to compete for the outer disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace feel uneasy, and those who have not thought of entering the Spirit Immortal Palace at all are open-minded.

Because they thought that no matter what the selection was, they would either admit defeat or give up at that time, and it would be a big deal to jump into the sea, and they would not participate in the fight anyway.

In the past two years, Zhang Liang has rarely shown his true face and blended in with the crowd.

Even though three years have passed on Qingfeng Island, it is a fisherman who has been put together temporarily, who will remember whom?

Zhang Liang was in the queue safely, listening to the chatter of nearby fishermen.

Someone sighed: "It's finally over, think about three years ago, at the beginning of the shrimp tide, it was called a tragedy, especially in the first three months, and the total number of people who fell exceeded 1,000." ”

"Yes! Now that the curtain is over, how dare I think about the number of disciples from the outer sect of the Spirit Immortal Palace? It's better to go back to your island and be a small fisherman. ”

"Haha! Oh, yes! Speaking of which, I'm not weak now, and after I go back, I can be regarded as experienced, if I can wait for the owner to appreciate it, I don't have to worry about it in this life! ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

But there was also a person nearby who snorted coldly and retorted: "When you see the fairy road, don't you want to see the scenery from above?" Walking on the sword, riding the void and resisting the wind, this kind of immortal journey is wonderful, but you have to give up and be willing to fall, are you really willing? ”

Someone scoffed: "What if you are unwilling? Why are you fighting? If you can't fight, you will die, and you can't see any scenery when you die. ”

Someone shook his head: "Immortal cultivators are one in a thousand, and the outer disciples who enter the sect are one in a hundred, and the inner disciples may be one in a hundred." That personal disciple, we can't even imagine what a talented person he is...... Fellow Daoists, if you are not badly talented, you will already have a better place to go as early as when you are tested for the spiritual root. Now that you are a fisherman and farmer, you want to fight? It's hard! ”

Zhang Liang also sighed slightly when he heard this, on the immortal road, there are always people who get off halfway, but there are also people who forge ahead. The words of both sides are correct, these indisputable people actually think better than anyone else. But it's not wrong to fight, after all, once you step on the path of immortality and master the immortal arts, who is willing to return to mortal dust?

"Luckily, I'm luckier than all of them."

A moment later.

The fishermen and peasants were almost assembled, and some more people were gathered near Zhang Liang. Among them, Zhang Liang actually met an acquaintance.

In other words, it's not familiar, and there have been so many faces.

This person is the Gong Yu who was the former manager of the Qingfeng dockyard, and when he saw Gong Yu, Zhang Liang couldn't help but be surprised, wasn't this woman sent by the owner of Qingfeng Island to manage the dock? Why did she join the ranks of fishermen and farmers?

That Gong Yu seemed to be aware, glanced sideways at Zhang Liang, and then whispered slightly: "You are, then who is coming?" ”

Zhang Liang arched his hand and smiled: "Sister Gong, under Zhang Liang." ”

"That's right! I haven't met you in the past three years, but I didn't expect you to be alive. ”

"It's just a fluke!"

Gong Yu chuckled: "Those who can survive until now have no luck." ”

"There are still some, like me."

Gong Yu saw that Zhang Liang was not sincere, so he didn't pay attention to it. Zhang Liang is also happy to be like this, he really just wants to be a quiet passerby.

Another stick of incense passed.

The personnel inventory work began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

When there were disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace, when they counted Zhang Liang, they flipped through the spirit book in their hands and were slightly stunned.

"Your name is Zhang Liang?"

"It's me."

"The fishermen and peasants of the original Shili Ling Lake on Qingfeng Island?"

"Yes."

"20 years old?"

"Yes."

"How many layers of Qi training?"

"I've practiced the fifth layer of qi."

"When the inventory is over, stay and don't leave."

"Huh? This fellow Taoist, why is this? ”

"If you don't go, don't go, just listen."

"Yes, yes, yes."

With that, the man went to count the others.

Zhang Liang frowned slightly, a little puzzled, but then his brows stretched, maybe it was just that he didn't have to participate in the selection of outer disciples. After all, Ye Qingling had made an oath.

It's just that what Zhang Liang didn't notice was that Gong Yu next to him also looked thoughtful and looked at him curiously.

The inventory work was very fast, and the foundation building overhaul of the Lingxian Palace didn't even mean to show up. After only half a month's notice, the selection competition began, and everyone had to be present, and then everyone was ordered to disband.

The people were almost scattered, and it seemed a little abrupt that Zhang Liang was still here.

Fortunately, at this time, a female cultivator of the Spirit Immortal Palace came to Zhang Liang: "You are Zhang Liang?" ”

"It's me."

"Come with me!"

Zhang Liang followed this female cultivator and did not go to any special place, but walked straight into Qingfeng Immortal Fang. As soon as they entered the Immortal Fang, the fishermen and the disciples of the Lingxian Palace walked together, and they were no longer abrupt, and normal people would only think that it was the relationship between the buyer and the seller.

A moment later.

Zhang Liang was taken to a place called the Lingxin Teahouse, which Zhang Liang had seen, but it seemed that only the disciples of the Lingxian Palace would come here.

"Let's go inside!"

……

"Squeak!"

"Bang~"

Zhang Liang couldn't help but glance back, and the door of the teahouse was quickly closed.

Zhang Liangxin said relaxed, I am going through the back door, and the special treatment is normal.

At this moment, Zhang Liang suddenly smelled of strong wine, which was incompatible with this teahouse. Sweeping around, I saw a young girl in Tsing Yi with two braids sitting on a table by the window on the side. The girl doesn't look very old, she should be the same age as herself, her eyebrows are raised, the bridge of her nose is high, and her lips are ruddy, which is very delicate.

At this moment, the girl looked at Zhang Liang, with a trace of unclear meaning in her eyes, as if she was smiling but not smiling, and her bright eyes seemed to be full of curiosity.

"Are you Zhang Liang?"

Zhang Liang knew that this person must be extraordinary, and immediately gave his hand: "Under Zhang Liang, I have seen Fairy Qu Yue." ”

After Lei Yun and Ye Qingling, two female cultivators took over the affairs here. They are a foundation building overhaul named Qu Yue and a foundation building overhaul named Rao Demon Demon.

It is said that Rao Demon is very ruthless, and some fishermen were attracted by her beauty, so they were gouged out by her, which was very vicious.

The person in front of him obviously can't be Rao Demon Demon, then it can only be Qu Yue.

"Humph! You have to call yourself a junior. ”

"Yes, yes, junior Zhang Liang, I have seen Fairy Qu."

"Hmmm! Come and sit. ”

"Don't dare, the juniors can do it by standing."

"If you want to come over, you will come, is this fairy not pretty? Or are you not willing to share the table with this fairy? ”

"Where, the predecessors are pretty, and the younger generations are too late to admire."

"Humph! It's nice to talk about, so why don't you come and sit down? ”

Zhang Liang was also helpless, so he could only sit down, and when he looked closer, he saw Qu Yue's wrists and arms, decorated with red ropes, holding a wine jug in his hand, and a sheathed long sword on the table, just placed there, as if he wanted to create an unruly fairy.

"Let's talk about it! Why does Sister Qingling help you go through the back door? ”

"This?"

"Let's go to the tryouts without saying anything!"

"Yes! Here's the thing, the junior just rescued Fairy Ye by accident. Out of repayment, Fairy Ye promised to enter the Lingxian Palace. ”

"It's that simple?"

"The younger generation doesn't dare to hide it, it's that simple."

"Then you go to the tryouts!"

"Huh?"
