Chapter 12 Attracting Attention
At this time, on the small platform at the top of the Heavenly Steps, Li Junyuan, Gu Xiaowei, and the senior brother in charge were also paying close attention to the situation of the young men on the Heavenly Steps who had not yet been eliminated.
Especially those teenagers who were already over the sixty ranks, their every move was watched by these people.
One of the yellow-faced old men said: "Boss, this batch of seedlings is good, and almost a dozen of them have passed the test so far." Judging by their appearance, some people should not have reached the limit of tolerance, but will we recruit too many disciples this time?"
"It is indeed beyond my expectation that so many people can pass through the Heavenly Steps, although there are not many soldiers who are expensive, but the Heavenly Spirit Gate is now in an extremely important ascending period, and naturally needs more fresh blood. β
The one who opened his mouth was an old monk with a fairy wind bone, located in the middle of the crowd, with a great majesty of the superior.
The yellow-faced old man who spoke before nodded and said, "It's still the senior brother in charge who is thoughtful and has a long-term vision. β
The head of the yellow robe continued: "The observation is almost over, and when it is over, you five veins will choose your favorite disciple by yourself." This recruitment conference was very successful, thanks to the hard work of Senior Sister Xiaowei for several days, these good seedlings were selected for the sect. β
Gu Xiaowei, who was standing beside Li Junyuan, hurriedly said modestly: "The senior brother in charge of the entire Tianling Sect is the real hard work, how can I bother with this little thing, and there are all the senior brothers to help, if you want to say that you have merit, it is everyone's work." β
"Your dedication is in the eyes of the sect, and the junior sister doesn't have to be too humble. β
Gu Xiaowei was about to be a few more modest words, but found that Li Junyuan's eyebrows were slightly raised, so she stopped speaking and secretly watched the change in his expression.
In fact, Li Junyuan was the same as everyone else at the beginning, just looking at the people above the sixtyth level, he felt very good.
After nodding with satisfaction, he inadvertently moved his gaze down a little, just in time to see Luo Yan's finger that was about to be released.
He raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "With the realm of the seventh layer of refining the body, it is not bad to be able to persist to the fiftieth level, Qing'er asked me to help you participate in the test like this, which is tantamount to pulling out the seedlings to help them grow." β
On the stone steps, Luo Yan's fingers kept trembling, his little thumb and ring finger had been released, and his middle finger and index finger were about to be straightened.
At this moment, a girl's voice sounded in his ears, "Senior brother, don't give up, these are all charming sounds, you can hold on and you'll be fine!"
The sound of a silver bell thundered into his head, shattering the evil thoughts that made him give up.
Luo Yan stopped in place and his body shook, the fingers that were about to be released clenched again, and he bit the tip of his tongue hard, and a stinging pain made his consciousness of being about to fall unconscious much clearer.
Looking at the white-robed girl standing on the fifty-fifth step in front of her, it was the girl who had been talking on the rooftop before.
At this time, the girl saw him wake up, smiled slightly, and did not speak.
Luo Yan said to her gratefully, "Thank you senior sister for reminding me, I was so obsessed with demons just now that I almost lost consciousness." β
The girl smiled and replied, "You're welcome, the stone steps behind will be more difficult, so you have to be more careful." With that, she walked on.
Seeing her leave, Luo Yan didn't get up immediately, he sat on the stone steps and continued to calm his mood and breathe his body, and only after half an hour did he start to continue climbing.
Now every step he takes, it's like going through a life-and-death struggle. Keeping his mind and never giving up is his only thought now.
Fifty-first, fifty-second, fifty-third......
On the small platform, Li Junyuan was a little surprised when he saw Luo Yan moving again.
"The will is very strong, but I don't know how long you can hold on?" asked himself in his heart, and his eyebrows jumped a few more times.
When Gu Xiaowei saw this, she also followed his gaze and turned her head to look at Luo Yan on the heavenly steps, with a little approval on her face.
Of course, all this is naturally impossible for Luo Yan, who is ascending the heavenly steps, to know.
Now he had just stepped on the sixtieth stone step, and he paused here for about an hour, but this time he did not close his eyes, but watched the white light around him continue to light up, and watched the figures that could not hold on were transmitted back to the clearing.
He knew in his heart that in the face of the cruel reality, either he would reach the top or fail, and for them, those who climbed to the sixtieth and ninety-ninth steps would have the same ending.
Forward......
This is Luo Yan's only thought at the moment.
Determined to do so, he moved again and began to charge towards the seventieth stone steps.
At this moment, many people in the clearing also noticed his movements, and a voice said, "Look, that kid who only has the seventh layer of the body refining realm is about to ascend the seventieth stone steps, do you think he can succeed?"
"It's hard to say, I've noticed him before, and every step is very calm, so I'm still more optimistic. β
"Yes, I don't think so, if he also reaches the top, then the eliminated people are not all a bunch of waste. A purple-robed young man said disdainfully.
"Who do you say is a waste, you have the ability to try it, believe it or not, we will abolish you now?" The few people who had just been teleported back heard someone say something disrespectful, and immediately surrounded him.
Although the purple-robed young man had some cultivation, he didn't dare to make trouble in the face of so many people, especially the door master and others who were still watching from above.
The disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect who were in charge of maintaining order saw a commotion in the open space and hurried over to stop it, which did not lead to a fight.
After the riot, I don't know who it was, the first one counted for Luo Yan, and then more and more people were counted.
"Sixty-five,"
"Sixty-six...... οΌ
"Sixty-nineββ,
Seventy!"
"He made it!" someone shouted excitedly.
At this moment, not only the counting people, but even the white-robed girl just now, the black-robed young man who had reached the top on the steps, Li Junyuan, Gu Xiaowei, and the senior brother in charge on the small platform all heard the sound coming from the square, and their eyes were also focused on Luo Yan.
This is the difficulty set for a person in the ninth-layer realm of refining the body, he is a person in the seventh-layer realm of refining the body, and he can even climb to the seventieth layer, if he reaches the platform, will the requirements of the Heavenly Spirit Sect to recruit disciples have to be changed in the future?
While everyone was excited, some people in the open space began to question how Luo Yan's physical strength could he get the test token?
Gu Xiaowei didn't expect Luo Yan's actions to cause such a big sensation, if she had known about this, she wouldn't have to worry about privately instructing him to give him a token.
But none of that matters, and today, his performance has proven that he deserves the token. Even if you stop here, you have no regrets.
In the crowd of spectators, there was a woman with a light veil, staring intently at Luo Yan on the stone steps, her heart lifting and letting go with every step he took.
