In the deepest part of the fog, two forks appeared, one leading to the outer mountain gate and the other leading to the inner mountain gate of the Ghost Sparrow Sect.

The Ghost Sparrow Sect's apprenticeship ceremony was held at the Outer Mountain Gate, and the apprentices accepted were all disciples of the Outer Gate. Outer disciples, after accumulating enough sect contributions, and having more than five layers of cultivation, can enter the inner mountain gate and become inner disciples. And the inner disciples, after breaking through the eighth layer of the vein, and accumulating enough sect contributions, can be promoted to sect deacons.

Deacons of the sect can be promoted to the elder of the sect after accumulating enough merit and breaking through the soul melting period after cultivating.

And above the elders of the sect, the higher status is, the four demon venerables of the ghost sparrow!

Most sects basically follow this model. The difference between the righteous path and the demonic path is probably the way to obtain the contribution of the sect.

For example, in the Righteous Path Sect, within a month, if the elders are not late to teach the Fa, and there is no trouble in the sect, they can get 1 point of sect contribution.

As for the Demon Dao Sect, within a month, if you defeat at least three senior brothers, you can get 1 point of contribution.

The right way is about humility, while the way of the devil is about competition.

The outer mountain gate has not yet been opened, but all those who come to worship are gathered outside the outer mountain gate. The masters of the outer sect who came to observe the grand ceremony had already introduced the inner mountain gate to rest, and were personally received by the disciples of the inner sect.

Ning Fan has little interest in promoting to the position of the sect. He was only interested in the Ghost Sparrow Sect. Xuanyin Qi counts as one, and Blue Eyebrows counts as half.

The outer mountain gate has not been opened for a long time, and the assessment elders have not appeared for a long time, which seems to have the intention of being patient with the disciples of the school. The path of cultivation is boring and lonely, and if you don't even have this little patience, it is not enough to cultivate immortals.

The wait is long, and Ning Fan is on his knees and will not waste waiting time. Even if there is no elixir, he secretly runs the mana Zhou Tian to promote the immortal vein to ascend to the spirit, and the speed of the ascension is almost none, but it is better than nothing.

The only surprise was the first round of the entrance examination, and the test turned out to be patience. He thought that joining the sect was just a formality, and he wouldn't waste much time. Now it seems that it will not be able to end in a short time.

Originally, I made an appointment with Blue Eyebrows to treat her tonight, so let's postpone it. For Ning Fan, this matter is not a big thing that has to be done.

Similar to Ning Fan, many people who seek the Tao with a calm heart are cross-legged on the ground, running mana Zhou Tian to open up immortal veins. And most people, although they are also waiting, will inevitably have a trace of anxiety on their faces.

Outside the mountain gate, one wait is three days. Except for Ning Fan, the other seekers are all monks who have not yet opened the valley, have not eaten for three days, and many of them are already hungry.

One after another, those who are not strong in the Tao have left. Most of the people who left at the beginning were the sons and daughters of mortal eunuch families, and they couldn't afford to suffer. In their imagination, cultivating immortals should be a time of relaxation and pleasure, but they never thought of having to endure so much hardship, so they were naturally disappointed.

Waiting, another three days passed. For six days, outside the gate of the outer mountain, all the seekers had not eaten water and rice, and those who were in slightly poor health were already a little unable to survive, and some people left.

The three days passed again, and on the ninth day, only one-third of the original number remained, just over 200 people, who remained outside the outer mountain gate.

Except for Ning Fan, most people's complexions are not very good-looking.

In the outer mountain gate, several elders of the outer mountain gate secretly observed the seekers with divine thoughts, and nodded frequently.

"There are as many as 200 people who have passed the first level of assessment this year, you know, in previous years, 100 people could pass the test, which is good. The collapse of the Heavenly Separation Sect is not small in terms of benefits to our sect. An old man in a yellow robe smiled.

"Well, it seems that this session of the Outer Mountain Sect will include a lot of outstanding disciples. Especially the young man who sat in the corner, dressed in white and black, for nine days, he sat there without moving, so calm and calm. This sub-Dao heart must be as solid as a rock, and it is the most suitable for cultivating demons. After all, the Demon Dao exercises often enter the realm quickly, and it is easy to give birth to demons, and the most test is the Dao Heart. ”

An old man in a black robe, brushing his beard, was full of praise for Ning Fan.

These elders, but they are cultivating spiritually, they can't even see Ning Fan's spiritual cultivation, otherwise, they will probably be even more shocked.

Among the elders of the Outer Mountain Gate, a black-robed young man looked at Ning Fan's gaze, obviously looking unnatural.

"Young Master Qimei, Ning Fan. You're here."

This black-robed young man is none other than the defeated disciple of the Four Demon Venerables, the 'Black Venerable' Yan Chaiyun, who was scared out of the Mo family by Ning Fan.

Now, as soon as he returned to the sect, he handed in his contributions and was promoted to elder. However, Ning Fan's horror was indelible in his heart.

"Hehe, Elder Yan is also interested in this junior, can't you rob us old men. A grinning old man squeezed his eyes at Yan Chaiyun, and Yan Chaiyun suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

'Grabbing people' refers to disciples with excellent qualifications, and after becoming outer disciples, they are attached to the command of various elders. Obviously, these elders of the outer sect who have been cultivating spiritually have all fallen in love with Ning Fan, but they are afraid that once Ning Fan passes the next few assessments and officially becomes an outer disciple, the old men will rob people.

Yan Chaiyun laughed dryly, he didn't think of letting Ning Fan join him. That young man, it's terrifying, I'm afraid that none of the Soul Melting Stage elders present at this moment can beat Ning Fan.

"This group of old men is still doing the Spring and Autumn Dream of recruiting Ning Fan, I'm afraid that in the next few tests, these old men will be shocked."

After nine days of screening, when it was dark, there were finally several deacons of the sect with eight layers of veins and opened the outer mountain gate.

The seekers, who had been hungry and cold for nine days, had some complaints in their hearts. But when they saw the terrifying cultivation of several deacons at the eighth layer, they were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to complain anymore, so they stood up respectfully. And Ning Fan also got up, patted the mud and dust on his body, sensed the immortal veins in his body, and shook his head and sighed.

On the ninth day, he actually ascended one-tenth of Cheng Dù for only one immortal vein, doesn't this mean that with his own cultivation, it takes three months to ascend a immortal vein?

This speed is not slow, but for Ning Fan's demon who ascended to the 30 veins of the spirit this night, it is really like a turtle crawling.

"After entering the sect, I will use the medicinal materials paid by the True Demon Sect to refine some pills. The Ascension Pill cannot be refined, and there are a few scarce elixirs, but it is possible to refine a 'Burning Spirit Pill' This pill is far inferior to the Ascension Pill, and taking the elixir will also bear great pain, but it seems that there is no other choice. ”

When Ning Fan was groaning, the 200 seekers had been led into the outer mountain gate by several deacons, and Ning Fan did not move and entered the mountain gate with the crowd.

The first level of assessment is over. Tomorrow, there will be a second level of assessment, and before that, hungry and cold seekers will be given a night's rest.

In a thatched hut for 10 people, Ning Fan sat alone on the ground bunk and continued to run Zhou Tian to ascend to the immortal veins. The other 9 people went out one after another and went to the room for dinner.

After everyone left, Ning Fan suddenly got up, and his hair belt turned blue, but he performed the stealth technique of the Jin Xuan Spirit Suit.

After nine days of meditation, Ning Fan did not feel tired at all, and there was no need to rest, he was willing to take advantage of the absence of everyone to go out to investigate the whereabouts of Xuanyin Qi.

Xuanyin Qi, as the name suggests, must be formed in the land of extreme yin. But Ning Fan's divine thoughts were carefully released, and there was no place for extreme yin in the entire outer mountain gate.

In addition to the mist that does not disperse all year round, some gods are cold and cold, but they are far from reaching the Cheng dù of 'extreme yin'.

There is no outer mountain gate, is it possible that the Xuanyin Qi is hidden in the inner mountain gate?

Ning Fan used his stealth powers, passed through the pavilion, and went straight to the inner mountain gate, and the guards and defenses along the way were all ignored by Ning Fan.

With the hidden supernatural power of his Jin Xuan spirit suit, it was difficult for the early monks of Jindan to see through, and no one could see Ning Fan in the outer mountain gate. Maintaining a hidden posture, Ning Fan sneaked all the way to the end of the outer mountain gate, a hundred-zhang high topaz giant gate.

Inside the giant gate, I think it is the inner mountain gate. And outside the giant gate, the yin and yang locks in Ning Fan's dantian seemed to be even more excited.

"Here, is there anything that makes Yin Yang lock care about?"

Ning Fan's eyes condensed slightly, and he stepped into the giant gate. But at this moment, a layer of gray formation light curtain suddenly lit up, and at the same time, a sharp sound like a bird's cry resounded through the Ghost Sparrow Sect. As for Ning Fan's stealth supernatural powers, he was directly broken by the formation.

Ning Fan's complexion changed, and he didn't expect that there was such a strange formation set up in the inner mountain gate, and with Ning Fan's formation cultivation, he didn't see in advance that there was a formation here.

It's not that the level of this formation is too high, but that the formation here is too natural, and it has become one with heaven and earth, how can you see that there is a formation here. The eye of the formation is even more unified with heaven and earth, it is difficult to find, and it is not easy to break this formation, unless it is attacked and destroyed.

I didn't have a deep grudge against the Ghost Sparrow Sect, so why did I ruin this formation

"It looks like we won't be able to enter the Inner Mountain Gate for the time being. Xuanyin Qi, whether it is in the inner door is not known in the future. ”

Not far away, the masters of the Ghost Sparrow Sect had already rushed to see who wanted to break into the inner door, Ning Fan knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, stepped on the ice rainbow, turned around and left

In the middle of the night, outside the hut, there were bursts of insect chirping. In the thatched hut, Ning Fan was meditating cross-legged, and a few teenagers beside him were full of interest and discussing.

"Have you heard, in the evening, someone forcibly broke into the inner gate, alarming many masters of the outer gate, and even a Soul Melting Elder, who personally chased after the troublemaker, did not catch him. ”

"I don't know what kind of bold person dares to break into the inner door, I heard that the person escaped in the direction of our house, Ning Fan, have you seen the appearance of the predecessor of the melting spirit?"

"I don't know. Ning Fan's tone was extremely light.

"Hmph, what kind of young man is the young man, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Ning Fan's tone of refusing people thousands of miles away. frowned, and no longer talked to Ning Fan.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow's second level assessment, it seems that I am going to enter the 'Demon Forest' I heard that I am waiting for seekers to stay in the Demon Forest for a month. ”

"What, the Demon Ghost Forest, the graveyard where the Ghost Sparrow Sect discarded the corpses of the enemy, I heard that there are many Yin Ghost Creatures there, which are extremely powerful, even if they are a tenth-layer master of the Pulse Piercing Sect, it is difficult to survive if they go deep into it. ”

"Don't worry, those of us who seek the Dao, the highest cultivation is only the fourth layer of the vein, and the lowest cultivation is just mortals, the Ghost Bird Sect shouldn't let us go too deep into the Demon Forest."

"When the time comes, it seems that the sect will issue a sect contribution card, it seems that it wants to hunt ghosts, and it seems that it wants to collect elixir and I don't know what the specific assessment is"

Everyone's discussion fell on Ning Fan's ears, and his eyelids were slightly raised.

Since the Demon Forest is a place where ghosts live, it must be extremely cold, and I don't know if the Xuanyin Qi will be there. It's just that, whether it's there or not, you always have to search for it.
