Chapter 495: Dark Immortal Cultivator
The inner square of the city.
The crowd was crowded together, and a large number of people gathered here, filling the place, and most of them were children under fifteen.
However, it is slightly unusual that so many children and teenagers get together, but there is no laughter and play, and there is even very little sound of each other's ears.
There were obviously many people in the square, but the silence was terrifying.
There were tens of thousands of people present, and the reason for this is very simple.
That is, the next one to review them is the immortal master from Qingshan Pavilion.
In front of the immortals, who dares to be presumptuous?
Even the naughtiest children, before they came, had been told and told by their parents not to mess around, not to talk, and to wait quietly.
Otherwise, if they anger the immortals and blame them, their whole family will be doomed.
In the face of the unprecedented orders of his parents, as well as the solemn atmosphere present, no matter how bold a person is, he will not dare to mess around in such a place.
On the contrary, everyone has listened to the deeds of the immortal master since childhood, and knows that there is a kind of immortal in the world, who can spell, can manipulate fire and water, fly to the sky and the earth, and travel clouds and rain, and is a kind of person who has mastered extremely powerful power.
And people like this are selected from among them every year and then taken to the Immortal Mountain to practice immortal arts.
You can become an immortal yourself.
And after becoming an immortal, he has great power, and he can live a better life.
In the face of this kind of carp jumping over the dragon gate, no one does not desire it in their hearts.
And so.
More than 20,000 teenagers and children in the field just stayed here quietly, showing a solemn gesture that they had never had before.
Only a pair of eyes with curiosity and longing looked at the two people who were floating in the air not far ahead, surrounded by brilliance, and stepping on floating clouds.
can fly, and there is Guanghua with him, is that an immortal?
It's amazing!
If only I could do the same.
The young children present witnessed these miracles with their own eyes, and their hearts were filled with unprecedented longing.
And just as they were thinking like this in their hearts, in the sky in front of them, two disciples from Qingshan Pavilion were also chatting at this time looking at the candidates below.
"Senior Brother Wu, more than 20,000 people have come this time, it seems that we have gained a lot this time, and we should be able to exceed the task in the door."
One of the younger disciples, one of the two, said with a smile.
The senior brother surnamed Wu shook his head: "It looks like there are a lot of people, but in fact, there are few top uses." Most of them were forcibly brought from villages outside the city, as well as from villages and towns in other nearby towns.
But many of these people have already experienced the last selection.
I didn't pass it last time, but if I choose it again this time, will I be able to pass it?
Only those children under the age of ten are participating in the selection for the first time, and it is possible to produce immortal seeds.
But these children are only five or six thousand.
Five or six thousand people, this number, can only be said to ensure that the probability of immortal seeds is higher.
We may be able to pick two or three immortal seeds, but we have only just completed the indicators issued by the door.
Senior Brother Wang was happy too early. ”
When Senior Brother Wang heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Finding so many useless people to come, isn't this delaying our efforts?" What did the lord of this waterless city do? ”
As an immortal sect monk, on the side of the Evergreen Domain, under such a system, people like Senior Brother Wang are already used to being high.
From the bottom of my heart, I have already regarded myself and ordinary mortals as two species.
The only ones who can make him a person look at it are those who also have the qualifications to cultivate immortals and can become the same kind of immortal species as themselves.
So at this time, when I heard that the city lord of the waterless city was so uninteresting, I was a little angry.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Wu shook his head and smiled: "The last time the Immortal Seed was selected in the Waterless City, not a single Immortal Seed was selected. And the immortal seeds of their previous generations are also our fellow brothers.
In these years, in the battle between Wind Thunder Castle and the Beidou Alliance, he fell early.
So now, there is no monk in the waterless city to protect it, and the rain in this city has to spend a lot of money, so I have to wait for a shot.
Last year, because he didn't show the immortal seeds, he was punished by the door and added additional taxes.
Because of this, their life in the past ten years has been quite difficult.
This time, I deliberately found so many people, and I thought I wanted to try my luck to see if I could increase the probability of producing immortal seeds, and I went to the doctor in a hurry. ”
Senior Brother Wu explained the reason inside, and then said softly: "But that city lord is really not interested. In this way, if we can select three immortal seeds this time, so that we can successfully complete the task, we will let him go.
If there are less than three, then this city lord can be replaced by one person.
If there is no one, it means that the blessings of this place are not enough, and the mortals here have inferior bloodlines and cannot produce immortal seeds.
Go directly to the gate, destroy this city, move people from other places, and build a new city. ”
Senior Brother Wu's gentle words were filled with a strong sense of coldness.
Especially when the words of destroying the city came out, even Senior Brother Wang, who was a little angry just now, couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
He was already a little contemptuous of mortals, but when he was angry, he just wanted to kill a city lord.
But Senior Brother Wu directly wanted to destroy a city.
That's hundreds of thousands of people.
Killing so many mortals at once, even demons, can't do such a thing.
However, looking at the indifferent eyes of his senior brother, Senior Brother Wang finally nodded and said with a smile: "What Senior Brother said is true." ”
What about those mortals, and what does it matter to them?
But if you offend Senior Brother Wu, then your own life will be difficult to protect.
Qingyang Guoming has three major immortal sect forces on the face, and they are still under the control of the immortal gate, which can be regarded as orderly.
But that's just on the surface.
In private, the three major immortal sect forces, one is Qingshan Pavilion, which can be regarded as a pure immortal gate.
This pavilion opens the mountain gate widely, recruits disciples from the outside world, and the door is mainly inherited by master and apprentice.
The other Wind Thunder Castle Yang family is the Immortal Cultivation Family, this family operates the power, mainly cultivating pure-blood clansmen, with core clansmen as the backbone.
Then carry out the immortal selection conference, meet mortals with outstanding qualifications in the mortal world, the women marry back directly, and the men become sons-in-law, through this means, absorb external blood.
There is only one Beidou Alliance left, which is said to be a loose cultivation alliance, but it is actually an alliance of various large and small forces other than the Qingshan Pavilion and the Yang family.
Some of the inheritances are extremely incomplete, and even the small immortal sects and small families that the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan monks don't have, or they have taken the shit luck and picked up the scattered cultivation of the immortal Dao inheritance that is wandering outside.
These original rabble, originally out of the climate, have been bullied by their Qingshan Pavilion and the Yang family, and they can't turn the storm at all.
Since hundreds of years ago, an unknown external force has intervened to integrate these rabble, and to build bridges between them to establish this Beidou Alliance.
Even in order to support the Beidou Alliance, I don't know if it was specially cultivated or sent by the envoy, in the Beidou Alliance, there was an unprecedented Five Qi Dynasty Yuan monk.
And it's not one, there are four or five at once.
In this way, the top combat power that the Beidou Alliance lacked compared to the other two forces was suddenly made up.
On his own territory, a new force suddenly emerged, or did his subordinates rebel and come to grab food from him?
How can this be endured!
So after discovering the Beidou Alliance, the Yang family and Qingshan Pavilion of Wind Thunder Fort immediately joined forces to encircle and suppress these scattered cultivators.
But the Beidou Alliance has become a climate at this time, where is it so easy to eliminate?
After several battles and heavy casualties to each other, the two families finally found that they could no longer help the Beidou Alliance.
If you continue to fight, you can only be dragged to perish together, and you will be cheaper for others.
In the end, I can only acquiesce to the rise of the new force of the Beidou Alliance.
Qingyang Kingdom has also changed from the original division of the two heroes to the current three families, and the situation has become more and more chaotic.
After the establishment of the Beidou Alliance, Qingshan Pavilion and the Yang family, although they did not continue to launch large-scale wars, carried out encirclement and suppression.
But between the three forces, there are small fights every year, and there are big fights for ten years, and every time they fight, dozens or hundreds of disciples will die.
Just these small battles have already caused the three forces to suffer a lot of losses.
On average, hundreds of people die in each family a year.
That's a pretty scary number.
Even if there are three forces, each of which has more than 10,000 disciples, in the face of this kind of loss, it is unbearable, and there must be a large amount of fresh blood to replenish it.
Therefore, once every ten years, the immortal selection conference of thousands of people has become the most important channel for various forces to replenish new disciples.
It's the same.
In this cruel war of attrition, ordinary immortal disciples like Senior Brother Wu and Senior Brother Wang, who were selected by the Immortal Selection Conference, had no background.
Even if he entered the immortal gate, cultivated the immortal method, and mastered a powerful power that he didn't dare to think of before.
But in the immortal gate, he is still an insignificant ant cannon fodder.
Not only do you have to do a lot of complicated affairs, but every two or three years, you also have to participate in a small battle and shed blood for the sect.
This is also the purpose of the sect to cultivate them.
Otherwise, the sect passed on your immortal law and spent a lot of resources to cultivate you, do you really think that it is just to spread the Taoist system, and you are selfless?
is about to spread the Dao system, there are so many elders and high-level leaders in the door, and some of the families behind them want to get started, which round will get you?
It's because you have to work hard that you recruit ordinary people in.
Of course, the three forces are not forcing their disciples to die, if they really want to do that, they are not cultivating disciples, but cultivating enemies.
In order to give some hope to the disciples under them, Qingshan Pavilion and them still gave them some promotion paths.
As long as they participate in five sect battles and then successfully survive, these selected ordinary disciples can be turned into inner disciples.
After becoming an inner disciple, he only needs to perform some internal affairs of the sect, although it is still cumbersome, but he does not have to go out to work hard.
It's a way out.
Or if you are diligent and pendeficial, breaking through the condensation of the three qis, so that with your profound cultivation, you can automatically become a disciple of the true lineage in the sect, and you can also choose an elder of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan as a teacher and become a high-level person.
This is the road to heaven, after becoming a true tradition, you need to practice wholeheartedly, and you don't even have to do the mundane affairs in the door.
It is also the most desirable path for many ordinary disciples.
Pity.
If you want to break through the condensation of the three qi by yourself, you will never be able to do it without superior qualifications.
And people with superior qualifications are one out of ten thousand.
At each immortal selection conference, there are only a few immortal seeds with this qualification.
This is the path of genius, and ordinary people can't go through it at all.
Therefore, for most ordinary disciples, the most realistic path is to participate in the battle, survive five times, and turn to the inner gate.
Senior Brother Wu in front of him has already participated in four battles.
It is rumored that there are no less than ten enemy monks who have been killed, and among the ordinary disciples, they are also famous existences.
The other party survived the next fight, met the five quotas, and turned to the inner door, which is already a sure thing.
However, this senior brother Wang also participated in a sect battle.
But that time, he also narrowly escaped life, and he almost confessed.
It is unknown whether he will survive the next time he participates.
Exactly because of this.
That's why he fought hard this time and got a chance to perform ordinary tasks with Senior Brother Wu.
In order to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Senior Brother Wu, and strive to follow Senior Brother Wu next time to carry out the task of sect fighting.
Let this famous Senior Brother Wu pull himself in the fight.
Whether he can live next time depends on Senior Brother Wu.
In this case, he would not offend this Senior Brother Wu for the sake of some mortals.
"Anyway, the previous immortal seeds of this waterless city have all died in the battle of the sect, and they have no backing.
There are no other brothers and sisters to protect them, but they are only hundreds of thousands of mortals, so if they die, they will die.
Compared with the life of the Fundamental Immortal Master, it is still Senior Brother Wu's happiness that is the most important. ’
Senior Brother Wang thought like this in his heart, and he didn't care about those people.
At this time, as half an hour passed, all the children in Waterless City had already gathered.
The waterless city lord came to report respectfully, and then Senior Brother Wu looked kind, and let the other party go down with a smile, and he couldn't see the ruthlessness of saying that he was going to kill people and destroy the city just now.
Then after the others left, Senior Brother Wu turned around and said lightly to Senior Brother Wang: "Senior Brother, since everyone has arrived, let's start." ”
Senior Brother Wang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Senior Brother will start now." ”
As he spoke, he waved his robe, and a spirit talisman drawn by the elder in the door flew out.
With both hands pinching the magic trick, the mana was immersed in it, and the runes drawn on the spirit talisman shone brightly, and a huge wave of light shone out of the runes and swept towards the crowd below.
This is a rune spell in the Immortal Realm Immortal Sect that is specially used for large-scale root bone detection, and the accuracy is extremely high, more than nine out of nine.
And this one in the hands of Senior Brother Wang is a large-scale spirit talisman specially made by the sect, which can detect 50,000 people at a time, and it is also very precious in the door, and only the elders of the Five Qi Dynasty can draw it, which is very valuable.
In fact, for general testing, with a medium-sized spirit talisman, it is almost the same.
Medium-sized spirit talismans are spiritual runes that can only be refined by true disciples who have condensed more than three qi, and can detect 5,000 people.
A small spirit talisman, even an ordinary disciple like Senior Brother Wang, can draw it after ten days and a half of effort, and it is not worth anything at all.
Only 500 people can be tested.
According to the rules of the door, if you use a medium-sized spirit talisman, you must detect at least one immortal seed, so that it can be considered to meet the standard.
For large spirit talismans, there must be at least three people.
Small talismans are casual.
However, when you go to a city, there will be a few thousand people, so you usually use medium-sized spirit talismans.
Last time in the Waterless City, it used a medium-sized spirit talisman, and as a result, thousands of people were tested, but not a single immortal seed came out.
For Xianmen, this is tantamount to a loss.
Isn't it a sin to waste the hard work of a true disciple, and maybe even a high-ranking deacon in the sect?
Even if it is to test the disciples, they will be held accountable when they go back.
It is precisely because of this that after the last inspection, Waterless City was fined 10% of the tax as a punishment.
This time, Waterless City was clever and brought in more than 20,000 people, which was already beyond the detection range of medium-sized spirit talismans.
And generally the disciples who come to preside over the immortal selection conference and select the immortal seed usually only bring one large spirit talisman, two medium-sized ones, and four small spirit talismans.
Whether it is a medium-sized spirit talisman or a small spirit talisman, it cannot be completely detected, and there are more than 20,000 people below.
Only the use of large spirit talismans can be sufficient.
But once it is used, if the three immortal seeds are not selected, it will be a loss for the immortal sect.
Then this self-proclaimed smart city lord can only pay for his sins with death.
If not even one of them comes out, the people of the entire waterless city will also make amends with their lives.
This is also the reason why Senior Brother Wu said so.
That Senior Brother Wang, who has only been in the business for a few years, doesn't understand the twists and turns inside, so he can't understand it.
I only mistakenly thought that Senior Brother Wu was cruel by nature, treating mortals like ants and killing them at will.
But this man is quite sensible, and although he does not understand, he also knows that he carries out orders, not refutes.
This kind of obedient energy has cultivation value.
The next time I participate in the battle of the sect, I can pull him and help this person up, and maybe he can become my arm in the sect in the future. ’
Senior Brother Wu glanced at it, and Senior Brother Wang, who was concentrating on manipulating the spirit rune and casting spells to detect, thought like this in his heart.
And with the light of the spirit talisman, it slowly swept across the square below.
Among the more than 20,000 children, some of the children who were swept by the light began to glow with a glimmer of light when they were three inches away from the spiritual platform.
As the glimmer flickered, these children were attracted by a force from the spirit rune, and took the initiative to float towards the clouds of the two senior brothers Wu and Wang.
One, two, three......
After the light of the spirit talisman faded away, and all the immortal seeds that had been measured out of the root bones flew up to the clouds, Senior Brother Wang counted the number of people, and excitedly said to Senior Brother: "Senior Brother, there are five people in total, but we have overfulfilled the task, and there will be a reward in the door." ”
Senior Brother Wu glanced at it, landed on the clouds, and was excited and scared of a few immortal seeds, and nodded slightly: "Well, yes, this time it is good luck in Waterless City." Let's go, take the immortal back to the mountain, and return to the elders. ”
"Yes!"
Senior Brother Wang nodded, then manipulated the cloud magic weapon and flew towards the mountain gate.
Neither of them had the idea of chatting more with the people of Waterless City, just some mortals.
Only countless anticipatory mortals were left behind, looking at the mysterious immortal master in their eyes, and drifted away.
There are also the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, who ran to the homes of those who were selected for the immortal seeds, with a smile on their faces, and respectfully invited them to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the banquet.
In this selection, Waterless City finally won a glimmer of life.
When those five immortal seeds grow up, they have a backer again, and they must be celebrated.
And as the fetters of those five immortal seeds, their families have become the main path to maintain the waterless city and the future immortal masters.
It must be taken seriously.
In the celebration of the whole city, Yidan City also slowly revealed its hidden figure from high in the sky.
He looked at the two monks of Qingshan Pavilion in the distance, and thoughtfully said: "In this immortal gate, it seems that the interior is also very cruel. It's quite a bit of a black * society cultivating immortals, is this unique to Xiaoxianmen? ”
Like Qingshan Pavilion, the naked behavior of oppressing disciples has never been seen in Yidancheng in other immortal sects in the immortal world before.
That Evergreen Immortal Sect and Dongyang Mountain, needless to say.
These overlord immortal sects, their disciples have integrity, and they still adhere to the righteous idea of subduing demons and eliminating demons.
Some other great immortal sects with true immortals, although they are still not very good to mortals, but the disciples in the sect can still ensure harmony and friendship, and they will not be regarded as ants.
You can barely see a bit of fairy energy.
But the little immortal gate on the side of Qingyang Kingdom is a naked law of the jungle, which treats disciples as leeks and harvests them.
This kind of underworld cultivation of immortals, he is also the first time to see it.
I couldn't help but be surprised.
