Chapter 3 Testing
Half an hour later.
Whoa!
The sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air came, and three men in their twenties with cold faces stepped on the flying sword and landed in front of the Xiao family's main hall.
"Where does the Xiao family live, we are ordered to come and bring people quickly. ”
The faces of these three people were cold and arrogant, and their bones revealed a lofty momentum, and their eyes occasionally swept over everyone, just like watching ants.
Hearing the movement, Xiao Wenting hurriedly brought the Xiao family and others out to greet him, and said with a humble face: "The three immortal masters have come from afar, please go to the lobby to sit for a while and drink a cup of tea." ”
Xiao Chen saw it in his eyes, secretly clenched his fists hard, and swore in his heart that he must become a powerful immortal master, so that his father and mother raised their eyebrows.
"No need, we were ordered to come here to take away the teenagers who participated in the Immortal Gate test, and we will leave immediately. The young man who pretended to be the leader frowned and said coldly.
"Yes! Yes!" Xiao Wenting didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and quickly nodded and agreed.
"Hurry!" the three young men said with words in their mouths, and suddenly reached out to the flying sword at their feet. The volume of the flying swords suddenly soared, and each one was enough to stand up for several people.
"Come up one after another, stand still, and do not be afraid. ”
The young men of the Xiao family saw the three immortal masters flying with their swords, and they were able to make them bigger out of thin air, and their hearts were naturally full of awe, and when they heard this, they obediently lined up and walked on the giant sword in turn to stand up.
"Up!"
After everyone came up, the three young men didn't say hello to anyone, and the flying sword suddenly rose from the ground, shooting towards the distant sky, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Father Xiao saw Xiao Chen leaving, and the suppressed injuries suddenly exploded, his face instantly turned pale, and then he staggered out.
"Patriarch, although Xiao Chen has the blood of our Xiao family, he is not comfortable with us at all, why did you agree to let him participate in the Immortal Gate? After Xiao's father left, Xiao Wenbin complained slightly.
Xiao Wenting sneered, "Third brother, don't worry, that Xiao Chen's physical fitness is extremely poor, and his clothes are short-lived, how can he be selected by the immortal master, you can rest assured." ”
In his heart, the only person who is most likely to become an immortal master this time is his son Xiao Lin, after all, this time, he let him bring that thing...
The white clouds were trampled under their feet, and a strong wind was blowing in front of them, blowing so that people couldn't open their eyes.
Xiao Chen stood on top of the last man's flying sword, only to feel the sound of whirring wind in his ears, and his hands were clenched together, trying not to show his frightened look.
The man who controlled the flying sword snorted lightly, his eyes turned to his face, and there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes.
"Whew!"
The wind suddenly became a little more violent, and from the body it felt that they were already descending rapidly. After a moment, the man's cold voice came again, "It's here, you guys go down." ”
The teenagers of the Xiao family opened their eyes at this time, only to find that they had already arrived in an unknown place.
Xiao Chen stepped down from the flying sword and looked around with his eyes. This is a valley of hundreds of zhang in size, the trees are lush and green, and it seems to contain endless vitality, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants make up for it, and there seems to be a faint fragrance in the air, which really looks like a fairyland.
At this moment, dozens of teenagers had already arrived in the valley, both men and women, but at this moment, their eyes looking at Xiao Chen and the others were faintly hostile.
"Since it's here, let's line up quickly according to the pair of two, and the test is about to begin. In front of the crowd was a stone table, and a burly old man, about fifty years old, sat with his eyes squinted. After the three young men who had sent Xiao Chen and the others here saluted him, they turned around and stood aside.
Xiao Lin, as the eldest son of the Xiao family, had already been secretly promoted, and at this moment he saluted the old man, and led everyone behind him to quickly line up.
"Okay, in order, one by one, come forward and get tested. The old man opened his eyes, and his glittering gaze seemed to be able to see through people's bodies, which made many teenagers subconsciously lower their heads and dare not look at him.
"Let's start with the people of the Mei family. ”
The old man's voice fell, and in the group of people on the far left, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy immediately came out, with a strong physique and a pair of bright eye masks. But at this moment, he was full of apprehension, first saluted the old man, and then put his hand in the old man's hand.
The old man stretched out his hand to hold it, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said expressionlessly: "There is no spiritual root, go and stand on the left." ”
When the young man heard this, he suddenly seemed to lose all his strength, and walked listlessly to the open space on the left.
"Next!"
Another girl cautiously stepped forward and put her hand in the old man's hand.
"If you don't have a spiritual root, you can also go and stand on the left. ”
。。。。。
。。。。。
The old man's speed was quite fast, and dozens of teenagers were halfway through in a moment, and none of them met the requirements.
"Next!" the old man frowned slightly, and his face showed a little impatience.
What came out this time was a girl, twenty-eight years old, with snow-white skin, and a green silk falling on her waist, like a fairy in the painting, who accidentally fell into the world.
"The Ji family, it's the Ji family's Ji Yue dance, I didn't expect her to come today!"
"This woman is said to be able to gather spiritual energy without a teacher at the age of ten, and she must have a spiritual root in her body. ”
"If you have a spiritual root, you can become an immortal master, Ji Yuewu is really lucky. ”
Xiao Chen listened to the whispered discussions of the young people, his brows furrowed slightly, it seemed that only the spiritual root was assessed and checked here, otherwise even if the physical fitness was good, it would not be qualified. Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if he really assessed his physical fitness, I am afraid he really had no chance. However, when he saw more than thirty dejected teenagers on the left, his heart tightened again, this spiritual root didn't know what it was, it seemed to be very rare.
"Wood attribute spirit root, excellent qualifications, good!good!good!" The old man in charge of the test suddenly opened his eyes, and a little surprise flashed in them, and he smiled again and again.
Xiao Chen's train of thought was interrupted, and when he raised his head, he just happened to see that Ji Yuewu withdrew his jade hand with a calm face, and his face was unwavering, which seemed to be no surprise.
"You go to the right side and stand on the right side first, and then follow me to the master. The old man was obviously in a good mood, and his attitude towards Ji Yuewu was also very gentle.
Ji Yuewu nodded slightly, and then walked to the right and stood still in the envious eyes of everyone. The snow-white neck is raised high, and when he walks, he really looks like a fairy coming to the world.
"Next!" the old man seemed to be in some spirits, and his voice was a little more energetic.
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, except for the Xiao family, the teenagers of the other major families had already completed the test, and in addition to Na Ji Yuewu, there was another man and a woman who passed the test. However, judging from the old man's plain face, these two people have average qualifications, but even so, it is enough to make everyone envious.
"Next!"
Xiao Lin, as the son of the patriarch, naturally stood at the head of the team, and when he heard this, he tidied up his clothes, saluted the old man, and then handed over his hand with anticipation.
The old man didn't look at it, and immediately closed his eyes after holding it, and shook his head slightly for a moment, "There is no head spiritual root, and it is not qualified." ”
When Xiao Lin heard this, his face changed suddenly, but when he thought of what his father had secretly given him before, his face was a little more bloody.
"Master Immortal, when the boy came from home, my father asked me to bring a gift to the Immortal Master, and asked the Immortal Master to mention it more for the sake of filial piety. Without waiting for the old man to refuse, he carefully took out a brocade cloth bag from his arms.
When the old man heard this, the corners of his mouth showed a bit of ridicule, he was a high-ranking immortal cultivator, what could a secular family send that made him look at it? However, he still opened the cloth bag and revealed a black thing similar to a stone.
"Iron Essence!" The old man's eyes suddenly burst into a burst of light, he reached out and took it in his hand, carefully examined it for a while, and his face was even more happy, the purity of this iron essence was beyond his imagination, enough for him to refine a spiritual weapon that was used in the late stage of foundation building.
"Ahem, I will accept this iron essence, for the sake of your filial piety, I will accept you as a registered disciple, and follow you in the future, if you behave well, you may not be able to become a true disciple. The old man put the iron essence into the storage bag without a trace, and said with squinted eyes.
"Named disciple?" Xiao Lin was stunned when he heard this.
"Why, aren't you satisfied?" said the old man, whose face was slightly gloomy.
"No, no, how dare the kid be presumptuous!Disciple Xiao Lin, meet the master!" Xiao Lin hurriedly leaned down and bowed down.
"Well, you can stand on the right side too. The old man nodded with satisfaction and said lightly.
"Yes. Although he was a registered disciple, but feeling the envious eyes cast by everyone, Xiao Lin was a little unhappy in his heart and instantly threw away, and walked to the right to stand on his toes.
"Next!"
。。。。
。。。。
"Next!"
。。。。
。。。。
Soon, except for Xiao Chen, everyone had already completed the test, but except for Xiao Lin, no one had a spiritual root.
"What bloodline has been handed down from ancient times, it has not produced a spiritual root for three hundred years, I think next time I will propose to the sect master to cancel the Xiao family's qualification to participate in the Immortal Gate. The old man muttered secretly, and said impatiently, "The last one." ”
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then thought that he was the last person, and walked over with anticipation. Thinking of his father's expectant eyes before leaving, and of the humiliation his father had received for him to fight for this opportunity, his eyes suddenly became extremely determined.
"There must be!
After a while, the old man opened his eyes, glanced at Xiao Chen coldly, and said, "No spiritual root, unqualified!"
Like a thunderclap resounding in his ears, Xiao Chen's face was pale from the cold six characters, and when he thought of his father's expectation, his eyes turned black, and he almost fell to the ground. Under the gloating eyes of the teenagers, Xiao Chen returned to the end of the team in a daze, and only one sentence echoed in his mind: How to explain to his father!
What kind of arrogant person is my father, this time in order to give him the opportunity to participate in the Immortal Gate, he did not hesitate to break his oath and endure endless humiliation, but in the end, he failed!
