Chapter 7: Ascension
As we approached, the rain finally stopped. The slightest ray of sunlight pierces through the clouds and illuminates everything.
"Husband, it's all packed."
Wang Shuyue said to the bronze mirror and finally straightened her hair and earrings.
She put on Zhao Qing's clothes, the pale blue robe washed to whitish could not hide her exquisite curves, and her eyebrows and eyes were coated with some fat powder, but she was not vulgar at all, but more charming.
After Zhao Qing checked that the door of the courtyard was locked again, he left the stove workshop with his wife and went to Zongmen Square to join in the fun.
Soon, they met many miscellaneous disciples, including acquaintances, so they joined the crowd and walked together.
"I don't know how many people will be able to directly become outer disciples this year."
"The outer door? I remember it was only three or five last year, right? Don't talk about these useless things, if only you could give us more female cultivators in the Spirit Mining Workshop. ”
"Grandma's, I was deceived into mining, saying that there was oil and water. It's just nonsense! I stayed in the mine for more than half a month, and I couldn't even see a girl. ”
"How many nights will my brother go out to relax? I've been looking for a good place lately, and it's very cool! And play special flowers! ”
Zhao Qing and his wife listened to the meat words in their ears, looked at each other, and silently listened to the audience.
"The Spirit Mine Workshop is already good! Look at our Dancao Fang, everyone subcontracts the spirit plant, if the spirit plant does not grow well, the person in charge will be punished! Is it up to us to decide whether the elixir grows well or not? ”
"Anyway, maybe one day I'll be called out and beaten up......"
A monk with five big and three thick sneered: "There are a lot of girls in your Dancao Fang, much stronger than us, but I heard that there are Pai Gow everywhere in Dancao Fang at night." ”
The two sides are clearly distinguished, you say a word to me, and try to compare miserably.
Occasionally, someone sneaked a glance at Wang Shuyue, but after discovering that she was a mortal, they quickly ignored her.
"Huh? This brother, you are from Dancaofang, you look very good. The strong man greeted Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing: ......
"This senior brother, I'm from the stove workshop."
Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment, and very tacitly agreed not to discuss the topic again.
Near the square, it is already crowded.
Countless handymen wore their own lilac robes, lined up on both sides of the stone steps, and watched the ceremony.
As soon as Zhao Qing and the others arrived, they saw a senior brother dressed in the clothes of an outer disciple walking straight towards them, which made them all a little nervous.
The senior brother was not young, he could already see the wrinkles, and he smiled and showed his big yellow teeth.
"Are you from our Danxia Sect?"
He finally walked up to Wang Shuyue and asked.
The girl was a little nervous and looked at her husband.
Zhao Qing didn't know why, so he smiled and said, "Senior brother, this is the disciple's wife." ”
The senior brother of the outer door suddenly smiled: "That's it, the family members are also our people, hurry!" Hurry up and stand at the front station. ”
He pointed to the steps of the plaza, where from time to time newcomers came to participate in the Ascension Conference.
Seeing this, everyone understood.
There are naturally a lot of beautiful women in Danxia Sect, but not all of them like to join in the fun, at this time, the more beautiful the better.
The girl looked at her husband, Zhao Qing thought for a while and said, "Go, I'll go with you." ”
Anyway, it's also an onlooker, it's the same wherever you stand, and you can see it more clearly when you get to the front.
And the surrounding miscellaneous disciples had already noticed their situation here, and at this time they all coaxed together: "Let's go, let's squeeze forward, don't be afraid, brother and sister, let's all go over." ”
Seeing this situation, Wang Shuyue was not so nervous.
"We're all gone, I've never been so close, except for the first time."
"Nonsense, who was not at the front for the first time."
"Senior brother is so blessed, my sister-in-law is so beautiful, look at them, the little rabbits are secretly looking at their sister-in-law." There are young people who like to make jokes.
Zhao Qing smiled and didn't say anything, but there was a trace of pride in his heart.
Soon, however, everyone's attention was attracted by the young men and women who had just come to take part in the assessment.
From time to time, the voice of the sect deacon came from the square, which was amplified by the spirit array and spread far away.
"Li Hu, the pinnacle of congenital, the middle-grade earth spirit root, can go to Dancaofang to report!"
"Sun Pengfei, the first layer of qi refining, the dual-line miscellaneous spirit root, the golden spirit root is the middle grade, and the earth spirit root is the lower grade. You can report to the Spirit Mine! ”
The voice of the deacon echoed in a radius of more than ten miles, and the purpose of the Danxia Sect in doing so was threefold.
The first is to let the many disciples who watched the ceremony have a preliminary impression, and the second is to notify the managers of the various miscellaneous workshops to come and receive people.
The third point is the most important, which is to inform the outside world that how many people our Danxia Sect has accepted this year, even ordinary people will yearn for it when they hear it, and when they hear it from the disciple's family, their faces will shine.
Zhao Qing's eyes swept casually, and he caught a glimpse of Wang Teng from a distance, and the other party also glanced at him, but he quickly swept by, and there was no communication.
"Look! That's a good one, it's exciting! ”
There was a slight noise in the crowd, and everyone followed the voice, and it was difficult for their eyes to move.
I saw a female cultivator walking up the stairs, wearing a beige needle-embroidered silk shirt on her upper body, a light pink and blue embroidered long skirt on her lower body, and a sachet hanging from her waist, swaying with the swing of her body.
Curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, Zhuo Yue is colorful.
The most important thing is her temperament that is difficult to ignore, obviously smiling at the corners of her mouth, but it makes people feel cold, and there is a chill that rejects people thousands of miles away.
"This is good, it would be nice if this came to our Spirit Mine!"
"Senior sister! Senior sister Tianzhong's qualifications will definitely be able to join the Danxia Sect, remember to come to our Spirit Mining Workshop! When you get to the Spirit Mine, I'll cover you! My name is Zhang Qiuyang! ”
Someone in the crowd shouted, drawing everyone's attention.
Zhao Qing silently pulled Wang Shuyue behind him.
And the cold female cultivator stopped, saluted to the self-reported Sheniu patient, and her red lips opened slightly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, the little girl has written it down." ”
The male cultivator of the Spirit Mine Workshop laughed, and was even a little excited to the point of convulsions, Zhao Qing silently took another step back, so as not to infect himself.
But that woman is really good-looking, tall and tall, and she is definitely a big star-level temperamental royal sister in her previous life.
Even Wang Shuyue whispered: "She's so beautiful, it's just too cold." ”
Zhao Qing nodded slightly, thinking deeply. A woman who can make a woman boast about her looks is indeed unusual.
After another half hour, there was an exclamation from the crowd, followed by the voice of the deacon.
"Lu Zheng, the pinnacle of innocence, the top-grade fire spirit root, the red spirit body! Access to the outer door! ”
There was an uproar in the square.
It's out!
This year's first outer disciple was born!
"It's only in the innate realm, and you haven't even entered the outer gate before you enter the qi refining realm?"
"Red Spirit! I don't know how old he is...... "There was a female nun who whispered.
Everyone discussed, and Zhao Qing also sighed a few words.
This is the talent gap, the insurmountable gap, as long as the qualifications are good enough, you don't need to reach the late stage of qi refining to be able to directly join the outer gate.
As for these miscellaneous disciples, they just came to join in the fun, take a look, take a walk, complain and sigh, get to know the new disciples, and find psychological comfort.
Zhao Qing remembered the past, when he was studying at Pheasant University in his previous life, he liked to follow his roommates to see the school recruitment of the famous school next door and see the entrance ceremony of new students, although it had nothing to do with them.
Suddenly, a biting chill dispersed, the sky seemed to be a little overcast, and there was a commotion in the center of the square, as if it had exploded.
Everyone stared straight at the stone tablet that tested the spiritual root.
"Superb!"
"The best water spirit root!"
After the crowd was chaotic for a while, the deacon's voice came slowly, and instead of announcing his name and spiritual root, there were only two words: "Silence!" ”
People with good eyesight saw the female cultivator who was testing, and immediately exclaimed: "Qiuyang! Qiuyang, it's the junior sister just now! ”
Zhang Qiuyang's expression was complicated, and he slapped the man on the head: "I'm not blind!" Stop shouting! Stop shouting! ”
Zhao Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent.
It turned out to be the best spiritual root, and if you don't get it, you will directly enter the inner door and even become a legendary disciple.
It's difficult to cultivate immortals, and the talent gap is too big. A medium-grade spiritual root can enter the late stage of qi refining in ten years, so as to be promoted to the outer gate, how long does it take for the top-grade spiritual root to reach the late stage of qi refining?
I can't even think about it.
After a long time, the old man's voice came out: "Zhou Xiaoyi, the best water spirit root, the early stage of qi refining." Temporarily listed in the outer door, after the foundation is built, it will be promoted to the family inheritance! ”
There was an uproar on the field: "Personally! Personally! It was Elder Jin Dan who stepped forward! ”
"Don't look at it! Be careful that people will retaliate against you when the time comes! ”
Zhao Qing was a little puzzled when he heard this, according to previous years, the outer door is the outer door, and the inner door is the inner door. How can there be a reason to temporarily enter the outer door?
He thought about it, it had nothing to do with him anyway, so he didn't care.
"Shuyue, I think of something important, let's go back."
The girl looked back in confusion, and then quickly reacted, and her pretty face turned red in an instant. She followed her husband out of the square with small steps.
When watching the ceremony, Zhao Qing was full of emotion, the Immortal Ascension Conference was indeed worthy of its name, but there were not many people who could ascend to immortals, only those with excellent talents could be regarded as one step, and the immortals were different.
Zhao Qing was stimulated a lot, and now he wants to go home and close the door to catch up with the progress.
