Chapter 5: Studying under Yao Daozi (Revision)
"Hey, you idiot, we can't pass the assessment anymore, why do you continue to insist on it!"
"Brother, stop and rest, and stop these useless struggles. ”
"You don't want to live, if you don't stop, your hands and feet will be wasted, and you may even lose your life!"
Gradually, someone discovered the stranger around them, originally the corners of their mouths were slightly upturned to reveal a cold mocking color, but as time passed, watching Xiao Chen move with difficulty little by little, slowly overtaking one person after another, these teenagers who fell in the icy canal water and were unwilling to move forward, their eyes couldn't help but show a little admiration.
But Xiao Chen didn't seem to notice their greeting, still bowing his head, moving forward little by little with an expressionless face.
"Oh! to the top, I made it!" At this moment, there was a sudden roar of surprise at the end of the line, and a sturdy teenager who participated in the test had climbed to the top at this moment, standing up from the cold water canal, although his face was frozen to the color of bruises, but his face was full of pride and pride!
And at this moment, Xiao Chen was just a little more than halfway up the mountain, the water flow became more turbulent, the temperature was lower, and the wounds cut by the ice edge were getting bigger and bigger! His speed had slowed down to the extreme, but he never had the slightest intention of retreating, like a small sail struggling in the sea, although the ship could be destroyed at any time, but he could always hold on!
After a while, every once in a while, there would be a roar of surprise from the top of the mountain, they were all sent by various families to test the best physical fitness among the teenagers or those with a certain level of kung fu skills, although this Dao Dao caused them a lot of damage, but it still couldn't stop them from reaching the top!
Compared with them at this moment, Xiao Chen is more like an inconspicuous little loach in the black mud, although he is desperately rolling, he is still embarrassed and weak.
But at some point, he had already attracted enough attention, whether it was the young man who fell halfway, or the person who had already reached the top of the mountain, there was a bit of admiration in his eyes.
"It's time!" said the monk of Falling Cloud Valley, who was in charge of timing the time, at the foot of the hillside, sighed secretly and shouted.
"It's finally over!"
It's a pity that he tried so hard, but he still couldn't succeed. ”
"I told him a long time ago that this was useless, but he didn't listen, and in the end, he didn't end up with us. ”
"He is the toughest guy I have ever seen, even if he can't be a disciple of the outer sect of Luoyun Valley this time, he will definitely be the number one person in the future. ”
When I heard the sound of the end of the test coming down the hill, whether it was the successful ones at the finish line or the teenagers who fell down early halfway, I was relieved and at the same time had some faint regret. Looking at the teenager who was still struggling to move, they really wanted to know if he could climb to the finish line if he was given enough time.
But when the time comes, it will all come to an end.
"Go and take them to the outer steward for work, and send them back to their places when the time comes, and send them down the mountain when the time comes. Elder Hu frowned slightly, and there was a little impatience in his eyes. Now that his cultivation has reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building, he is preparing to seize the time to hit the bottleneck, how can there be so much time to waste on these teenagers.
"Yes!" Behind Elder Hu, more than a dozen monks flew out with flying swords and took everyone down one by one. Soon, in the entire Asking Channel, there was only the only one left who was still moving his back little by little.
"Uncle Shi, what should I do now?" Looking at the young man who was still moving, a Falling Cloud Valley monk fell, and asked Chi Qian.
"Hmph! I don't need to ask, the test is over, do I have to continue to waste time here! Hurry up and get him down and treat the injury, otherwise he will really be crippled, and the size will be a trouble." Elder Hu's eyebrows furrowed impatiently, and he waved his hand a little irritably.
"Yes. The young man did not dare to disobey, turned over and stepped on the flying sword, and wanted to fly upward.
"Wait!" At that moment, a chuckle came from afar. But the laughter was far away, but it seemed to be right in the ears in an instant.
A blue rainbow pierced the sky, and in an instant, it was under the slope of the Daoist Channel. When the light dissipated and saw the faces of the people in it, Elder Hu was immediately startled, and then said respectfully, "Fifth Senior Brother, why are you here?"
The fifth disciple of the head of Luoyun Valley, the Dharma name Medicine Daozi, the foundation of the Great Perfection cultivation, is a three-grade alchemy master, and has a pivotal position in the entire sect. Therefore, although the two of them were both foundation building monks, this Elder Hu was respectful and implied.
"Uncle Shi!" more than a dozen disciples of Luoyun Valley saluted in unison and shouted respectfully.
Yao Daozi smiled and waved his hand, and said: "This little guy is very interesting, and his temperament can be regarded as perseverance, I want to see if he can reach the end in the end." ”
"Okay, since Senior Brother wants to see it, then let him continue. Elder Hu accompanied the smiling face, the person in front of him had already reached the realm of foundation building and great perfection, and it was also very possible to condense the golden pill. What's more, Yao Daozi is extremely good at alchemy, and he is also a transcendent existence in the sect, so how dare he interfere with such a small elder.
Therefore, there was a rather strange scene on the Asking Channel, under the leadership of two foundation building monks, dozens of people raised their necks, looked at the young man in the icy water, and slowly moved up little by little.
Later, Xiao Chen's movement became slower, and by the last distance, there was no more intact place on his body, and the wound became even more pale and swollen due to blood loss and ice water soaking.
At the bottom of the slope, there was a bit of appreciation in the eyes of the medicine daozi, but his divine sense swept through the young man, but he could only sigh secretly. This son has a tough personality and is not afraid of hardships and hardships, which is a rare jade on the road to cultivating immortals, but there is no half of the spiritual root on his body, which is really a pity.
Three hours later, the sky gradually darkened, and there was only one last step left in front of Xiao Chen!
Finally, a bloody hand reached the end, grasping a protruding rock, slowly exerting force. In the shocked eyes of everyone, the young man who had already shocked their nerves countless times actually stood up slowly. Although he stood staggeringly, as if a gust of mountain wind could blow him away, the eyes of everyone looking at him had become extremely solemn.
Xiao Chen forced himself to open his eyes, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and his body suddenly fell backwards! Being able to persist until now was completely beyond his physical limit, relying on that unwilling and unyielding will. At this moment, when he reached the end, that will dissipated, and the power that maintained his body suddenly disappeared.
A gentle force held his body, and the medicine Daozi didn't know when, but it had already reached behind him, frowning at the young man with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The heart is excellent, but there is no spiritual root!, seeing each other is fate, the old man will keep you by his side, as for the future, it depends on your own creation. ”
"Senior Brother Hu, this son will follow me as a registered disciple, and you will go back and send his identity jade plate to my residence. After the medicine Daozi finished speaking, the light on his body flashed, and in the envious eyes of all the young people, he flew away with Xiao Chen in an instant.
。。。。。
Elixir Valley has a pivotal position in the entire Luoyun Sect, and the master of the medicine Daozi here is not only expected to impact the Jiedan in order to reach the realm of foundation building, but also as a master of three-grade alchemy, his status in the sect is transcendent.
The size of this valley is about thousands of zhang, in addition to the courtyard, there are countless precious elixirs planted, and the rich medicinal fragrance makes people feel shocked when they smell it. In this valley, there are more than a dozen simple stone houses, and in one of them, a young man is lying on the bed with a frown.
"Did I pass the test, and where is this?" Xiao Chen opened his eyes and cautiously observed the situation around him.
The room was small, but it was clean, and the sunlight from the window was shining on an unknown green plant on the windowsill.
Xiao Chen frowned, he only remembered that he had been moving slowly in the channel of the question, as for what happened later, he didn't know, it seemed that he had passed out and woken up here.
So did it pass the test?
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a shadow stepped in.
The eyebrows are curved, the nose and lips are beautiful, the pretty face is not powdered, a noble air of dust is naturally issued, the skin is fair and delicate, and the three thousand green silk around the waist hangs down, which is even more revealing a Zhong Lingqi.
Ji Yuewu, it turned out to be her!
Seeing that Xiao Chen had already woken up, Ji Yuewu was slightly stunned, and then said lightly: "Master instructs, when you wake up, drink this bowl of medicine, and then go to the medicine valley to find him." After that, he put down the medicine bowl in his hand, turned around and walked out.
From beginning to end, his eyes never stayed on Xiao Chen for a moment.
Xiao Chen didn't realize Ji Yuewu's coldness, even if he felt it, he wouldn't take it to heart, after all, the other party was a proud son of heaven with an excellent spiritual root, and his temperament was naturally more arrogant. What he was worried about at the moment was the fate of the future, although from all indications, it seemed that he had passed the assessment, otherwise how could he work a disciple of Luoyun Valley to serve medicine. But before he was sure, he was still quite uneasy.
After drinking the medicine in three or two sips, Xiao Chen moved his body, and Xiao Chen walked out of the door. The bright sunlight made him squint slightly, and he found that his body seemed to be much stronger as he walked, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength. He turned slightly in his heart, and then thought that the immortal family's skills were not legitimate, but he was not too surprised!
Walking through the courtyard, in the envious eyes of the disciples who were in charge of managing the herbs, Xiao Chen went out nervously. Seeing the person not far away, Xiao Chen hesitated slightly, and then knelt on the ground respectfully, "Mortal Xiao Chen, meet the Immortal Master, thank the Immortal Master for the grace of recreation!" Although his consciousness fell into a coma that day, his memory of the physical injuries was still fresh, and now that his body was intact, it was naturally not difficult for him to guess that it was the Immortal Master's means.
Yao Daozi turned his head, at this moment, he was carrying an ordinary medicine Lou, with some dirt on his hands, and a gentle smile on his face, no different from the old man who collected medicine in the ordinary world.
But Xiao Chen didn't dare to be disrespectful, and knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Hehe, get up, little guy, I will take this kneeling as your apprenticeship, this is your identity jade plate, and you will be regarded as one of my registered disciples in the future." Putting the jade plate in his hand, Yao Daozi looked at Xiao Chen, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, this son has an excellent heart, but he was born without a spiritual root, otherwise he would not be an excellent candidate for the heir to the mantle.
What's more, if it weren't for his pride and pride, how could he personally come forward to accept a kid who had no spiritual roots.
