Early the next morning.

The bronze bell of the Qingling Sect was rung three times.

The majestic and melodious sound of bells echoed throughout the outer door.

This is the way the sect uses to gather its disciples.

Compared with other sects with strict rules, the Qingling Sect has almost the most free air.

The sect rarely intervenes in the daily lives of its disciples.

Except for very special circumstances, it is rare for ordinary disciples to see the elders of the sect for a few years.

Because he had received a notice yesterday, Liu Qing did not hesitate too much about the convening of the sect.

After a brief packing of clothes, he left his lodgings and headed to the meeting place.

Because the group of registered disciples is not stable, the sect does not assign special personnel to manage them.

Instead, they were directly incorporated into the outer gate, and they were under the unified jurisdiction of several elders in charge of the outer gate.

Therefore, the place where the registered disciples gathered this time was also set in the outer gate hall.

When he was on the road, Liu Qing also met a lot of disciples who rushed to gather like him, but everyone was usually busy with cultivation, and there were almost no people who knew each other.

After seeing each other's gray robes, they only nodded symbolically in friendship, and then hurried away alone.

After arriving at the outer gate hall, Liu Qing found a more remote position in the back and sat down.

Soon, more than 300 registered disciples all arrived.

The entire hall was already full at this time.

Seeing that Elder Hao had not yet arrived, some people had already begun to operate the exercises and cultivate.

There are still more than five months left before the sect assessment, in order for himself to be able to smoothly enter the outer sect and enjoy better cultivation resources.

Almost all the registered disciples are racing against time.

After a while, except for a few disciples whose qualifications were too poor to pass the assessment, the rest of them all entered the state of cultivation.

Liu Qing only felt that the aura in the entire hall was slowly thinning.

Everyone was concentrating on cultivation, which just created a relatively quiet learning atmosphere for him.

"Then read "The History of Empress Dowager Zhao" and relax briefly."

……

Hao Zhengyi, one of the six elders of the Qingling Sect in charge of the outer disciples, was strolling out of his other courtyard at this time.

The cultivation of the early stage of Jin Dan exploded, and a wonderful magic circle instantly appeared under his feet.

In the next second, he appeared at the door of the outer gate hall.

Walking into the main hall, Elder Hao frowned slightly.

"Why is the aura in this hall so thin, as if it has been drained by some formation."

His gaze quickly swept to the more than three hundred disciples not far away, and he immediately understood everything.

Smiling with satisfaction, Elder Hao didn't wake them up from their cultivation state at the first time.

Instead, he paced around the main hall, feeling the aura of cultivation released by everyone.

"Except for a few excellent and extremely poor ones, most of them are stable at the third layer of the Qi refining period, which is not bad."

"Huh......?"

As if he had discovered something abnormal, Elder Hao's footsteps suddenly paused and turned his gaze to a corner in the back row.

"The aura gathered around this disciple seems to be a little stronger, but it is a relatively good seedling.

It's just that why his cultivation is only at the second level of Qi cultivation? ”

Continuing to walk forward, Elder Hao soon came to the disciple's approach.

When he could fully see the book the latter was reading, a mouthful of old blood almost gushed out.

"I have good qualifications but no upward heart, and the strength of the second layer of Qi cultivation can be regarded as commensurate with you."

Walking back to the front, Elder Hao slowly released a wisp of his own breath.

Everyone was quickly awakened, and they all stood up and saluted the elders of the outer gate.

The latter nodded slightly, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then began the content of today's speech.

"After more than two years of sect life, I believe that everyone has their own understanding of cultivation.

Here I would like to briefly emphasize that the path of cultivation is full of loneliness and difficulty.

In the process, you will encounter many unexpected enemies.

The biggest enemy of this is actually yourself.

Especially your own laziness.

Thinking about our great founding patriarch Qingling Zhenren, at first he only had the qualifications of the innate three-grade spiritual root, and he was an inconspicuous existence in any sect.

But with his years of penance, he finally stepped into the realm of transformation that countless monks dreamed of, and founded our Qingling Sect in one fell swoop.

Since the patriarch, there are many people in each generation of disciples of our Qingling Sect who have mediocre qualifications at the beginning and have finally achieved achievements with their unremitting efforts.

For example......

On the stage, Elder Hao's eyebrows danced, full of passion.

In the audience, all the disciples paid full attention and listened carefully.

Only Liu Qing was listless, and sleepiness hit his whole body.

He actually really wanted to give Elder Hao a face and listen carefully, but his body really couldn't hold on.

Sure enough, even in the realm of cultivating immortals, the style of the leader's speech is still so similar. ’

Half an hour later, Elder Hao, who had been talking about the dark tide surging in the Immortal Cultivation Realm from the founding of the Qingling True Sect to the current Immortal Cultivation Realm, finally remembered the main purpose of gathering everyone today.

"After more than five months, the Qingling Sect will conduct a final assessment of everyone.

I believe everyone knows the importance of this assessment, but some of the rules have made some changes compared with before, so I will tell you in detail below.

First of all, the content of the assessment, unlike the previous selection that simply focused on strength, this time we adopted a dual assessment of strength and comprehensive application.

The assessment is divided into two rounds.

First, the top 20 will be selected according to the power ranking to enter the second round;

After that, the twenty people who entered the second round showed all their spiritual skills in turn.

We will give a combined score based on the quality, quantity, and proficiency of the psychics.

Those with the top ten scores are considered to have passed the assessment and can enter the outer gate to continue their cultivation.

And the disciple with the highest score was able to directly cross the outer gate and enter the ranks of the inner disciples.

Because the content has changed compared with before, this assessment was presided over by two elders selected by the inner gate and the outer gate.

Resolutely prevent any unfairness. ”

Hearing the content of Elder Hao's words, the originally quiet atmosphere of the scene was quickly broken.

There were a few disciples who were so excited that they couldn't help but take the lead in speaking.

"I've been practicing hard for more than two years, and I finally reached the third level of Qi training, and now I'm even told what spiritual skills I still need to assess.

My time and energy have been spent on improving my cultivation, where is there time to learn spiritual skills! ”

"That's right, there is less than half a year left before the assessment, so in such a short time, where can we go to learn spiritual skills?"

Hearing everyone's complaints, Elder Hao didn't feel any surprise.

He waved his hand to the audience and continued:

"Don't be anxious, considering the actual situation of you in the past two years or so, several elders of the inner gate have made a decision after discussion.

Starting tomorrow, there will be disciples from the inner gate who will openly teach some basic spiritual skills in the sect square, and you can go and learn according to your needs. ”

Hearing this, everyone's excitement was finally relieved.

Liu Qing fell into contemplation, and from the changes in this assessment, he seemed to smell something different.
