Zheng Puzheng picked up the wine bowl and drank, listened to Qin Wen's question, swallowed the wine in his mouth and said: "Brother Qin, if you want to see the entrance test of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, it is estimated that it is a bit difficult to go in directly, there is only one way, just pay the fee for the entrance test and pretend to be a disciple to be tested." ”

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "How many spirit stones do you have to pay for the entry test?"

Zheng Pu hesitated for a moment and said: "At the beginning, I paid ten high-grade spirit stones, I don't know if this fee has increased now, this is only the spirit stone to be paid for the first test, I heard that there will be more spirit stones to be paid for the test in the future, I don't know how much." ”

Ao Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you need so many spirit stones for the first test? If a gifted disciple doesn't have so many spirit stones in his hands, won't he be able to participate in the future test?"

Zheng Pu shook his head and said: "The rules of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate test are like this, as long as you pass the first test, the first ten spirit stones will be returned to you, and then when you take the second test, you can make up a certain amount of spirit stones, every time you pass the test, the spirit stones you hand over will be returned, if you want to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, you must pass the minimum three tests, but the more tests you pass, the higher the status of the new disciples in the sect." ”

Qin Wen also nodded at this time, according to what Zheng Pu said, the entrance test of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate is still quite reasonable, according to the entire territory of Daqi, there are tens of millions of cultivators, although not everyone can find a way to enter the Ziyun Mountain Range, but there are not a few monks who go to the Ziyun Mountain Range to practice.

Every year, a large number of monks pour into the Ziyun Mountain Range, how to select talented disciples among these monks, is an important thing for each sect to think about, after all, this is related to the strength of the sect in the Ziyun Mountain Range, and the continuity of the future skills, if there is no restriction on testing disciples, it is estimated that these sects will not be able to recruit disciples by sending special monks every day.

Wanjianmen first set up a threshold of ten high-grade spirit stones, so that a large number of monks were brushed away, not that these monks did not have haode talent without spirit stones, but in addition to talent in cultivation, the cultivation of the day after tomorrow is equally important, and the children of ordinary big families have a huge advantage in the selection of skills and the rationing of pills, if their children have the talent to practice in Ziyun Mountain, these families will definitely not be stingy with only ten spirit stones.

In addition, the rule of returning the spirit stone after each test also allows those talented children of the poor sect who have accumulated spirit stones to participate, to ensure that they are not eliminated in the later tests because of the lack of spirit stones, Qin Wen knew in his heart that once a disciple passed the three tests, even if he did not have the spirit stones of the fourth test, the Ten Thousand Swords Gate would let him participate.

Qin Wen took a sip of the wine bowl and said with a smile: "This rule is good, I will also prepare some spirit stones tomorrow to see what this Ten Thousand Swords Gate is testing?"

Ao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Big brother, if you pass the test of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect this time, won't you want to enter the sect, then will we not go to the Cold Maple Valley?

Qin Wen smiled and said: "I'm just going to take a look, even if I pass the first test, I will quit in time, let's go to Hanfeng Valley this time to find out the situation, as for where we practice in the future, I plan to wait until Xiang Hao's dragon recipe selection is over, and then we will discuss." ”

When Zheng Pu was in the capital, he had also heard of Qin Wen's experience, in his heart, Qin Wen was only able to have such exquisite alchemy skills from an ordinary small family, so as to be worshiped in the palace, there should be a master with a minimum cultivation who is also a spiritual level monk, maybe he himself does not know the origin of the master, at this time, he is very curious about the apprenticeship test of these sects in the Ziyun Mountain Range, which is also very normal.

The three of them drank more than half of the red candles, and a jar of wine had bottomed out, Qin Wen saw that the night was thick outside, so he put down the wine bowl in his hand and said: "Let's go to Wanjianmen tomorrow morning, let's rest today, I still have to breathe a little, and see what the test of the entry to Wanjianmen is tomorrow?"

Zheng Pu and Ao Yu lay down on the bed with their clothes, Qin Wen sat cross-legged on the bed, first turned his vitality slightly, waited until he woke up a little from drinking, and then calmed down and breathed.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Wen heard the unusual noise in the market town outside, so he slowly opened his eyes, and at this time, Zheng Pu had already gotten up, and when he saw Qin Wen open his eyes, he said: "Brother Qin, now that the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate is about to open, shall we go after breakfast?"

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "I have already taken a pill around the fifth watch, it doesn't matter if I eat it or not now, why don't we go down and see what food is in the market town, buy some casually, and take it directly to the Wanjianmen Mountain Gate to eat and wait." ”

Zheng Pu nodded, and then woke up Ao Yu, and then the three of them walked to the courtyard where they lived, and the monks in the market town were walking towards the mountains in the southeast, and there were many people along the way, Qin Wen took a closer look, there were many monks who were accompanied by their families or parents to participate in the entrance test, if these accompanying monks were removed, in fact, there were not too many disciples who participated in the entrance test.

After Qin Wen and the three of them bought some pancakes at random, they followed behind the monks in front of them, and also walked towards the mountains, and walked for about half an hour before they came to the edge of a cliff on a hillside, and all the monks stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the opposite side.

Qin Wen had already felt the aura fluctuations from the edge of the cliff, it seemed that there should be a magic circle hidden behind this cliff, Zheng Pu whispered behind him at this time: "This is the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, usually the road is hidden in the magic circle, it is estimated that when the time for the test comes, the magic circle will be opened." ”

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "Are all the sect gates in this Purple Cloud Mountain Range hidden?"

Zheng Pu nodded and said: "There is a large part of it is hidden, if you usually want to enter the mountain gate, you need to use the vitality to transmit the information into the formation, and then after the disciple on duty verifies his identity, he will open the passage of the magic circle." ”

As soon as his words fell, he suddenly heard two melodious bells, and then the clouds and mist on the opposite side of the cliff gradually dispersed, and at the same time as the clouds and mist dispersed, Qin Wen saw that a transparent aura channel slowly appeared on the cliff, like a rainbow across both sides of the cliff under the reflection of the eastern sun.

Just after the aura channel was fully formed, a green-shirted monk with white hair floated out from the other end, and the crowd who came to the test on the edge of the cliff was suddenly silent, and the monk with white hair glanced at the crowd in front of him lightly, and then said: "Today is the day of our Wanjianmen entrance test, all the disciples who came to participate in the entrance test should line up, after paying the fee, only one person is allowed to enter, and the rest of the accompanying monks have to wait outside the mountain gate." ”

After saying these words, he waved his hand back, and the two boys in green shirts held the table and chair in their hands, and the other flew down beside him with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and after putting down the table and chairs, the other boy put the four treasures of the study on the table, and then stood beside the table and chairs.

The old man looked at the monks in front of him who had automatically lined up for the test, so he bowed slightly, then walked behind the table, and after sitting down on the chair, he beckoned to the disciple who was in first place, "What's your name?"

The first disciple respectfully walked to the wooden table, put the ten high-grade spirit stones in his hand on the table, and then spoke: "The disciple's name is Liu Yiyuan, and he is from the Liu family in Yuancheng City, Great Qi. ”

At this time, a boy casually picked up the spirit stone he put on the table, examined it, and nodded slightly to the old man, who wrote Liu Yiyuan's name on the paper, and then pointed to the spiritual energy channel and said: "You enter from this side, and after entering the mountain gate, someone will lead you to the test." ”

Liu Yiyuan respectfully bowed to the old man, and walked into the mountain gate of Wanjianmen along the aura channel, and then the old man began to register the name of the second person, Qin Wen was ranked tenth, and when he reached the tenth place, the old man stopped registering first, Qin Wen looked at Zheng Pu with some doubts, and Zheng Pu explained in a low voice: "This is the practice of recruiting disciples in Wanjianmen, every ten is considered a team, and only after the first level test of the first team is over, will the candidates for the second team be registered." ”

Although the registration was stopped, the crowd waiting by the mountain gate did not make any commotion, they all stood quietly in their positions, occasionally whispering, and under the old man's threatening gaze, they immediately fell silent again.

After half an hour, suddenly there was some discussion in the crowd, Qin Wen looked up, it turned out that the first team of disciples to participate in the test had already walked out of the mountain gate, the old man coughed in a low voice at this time, and the following suddenly became silent, the old man lifted the brush and said, "Next." ”

The eleventh disciple walked in front of the old man, Qin Wen took this opportunity to secretly count, eight disciples in the first team of people who participated in the test in front of him walked out of the mountain gate again, which means that only two passed the first round of the test, it seems that the entrance test of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate is still relatively strict.

The speed of the old man's registration was still slow, and finally it was Qin Wen's turn, and he heard the old man say, "Next." Qin Wen took out the high-grade spirit stone that had been prepared, walked to the wooden table in front of the old man, put the spirit stone on the wooden table and said, "My name is Qin Wen, and I am from Luming City in the territory of Daqi. ”

The old man waited until the little boy had checked the spirit stone, then wrote Qin Wen's name on the paper, then waved his hand, signaling him to walk towards the mountain gate, and then said in the direction of the cliff: "Next." ”
