When Liu Ming heard this, he was a little stunned.

It turned out that the sea tribes and Jingyan tribes that I had seen in the Canghai Domain before, although they seemed to be also alien races, they were also a certain branch of the human race, and as for the demon races such as the Siren Emperor, they could be regarded as alien races in the true sense

As for Jialan's half-bloodline of the Sea Clan, he can still become a disciple of the inner sect of the Taiqing Sect, and this is also the reason for this.

In the following time, Liu Ming didn't talk much with the two, just said a few kind words, and then left.

Due to the previous retreat and cultivation of the Dragon and Tiger Hell Gong, the pills and talismans around him had almost been consumed, and for the introductory trial three days later, he had to go to Zongneifang City first.

......

Three days later, in the main hall of Piaohong Temple, all the disciples who were newly admitted and willing to participate in the trial had gathered here.

Some of these people looked eager to try, seemed to be full of confidence in the next trial, and talked and laughed with the people around them from time to time, while others had solemn faces and obviously looked nervous.

Liu Ming also came to the main hall early, and at this moment he was standing in the crowd, chatting casually with Yan Ming and Xue Yun beside him, asking for some other information about the Xiao Yan Realm.

At this moment, there was a steady sound of footsteps inside the main hall, and Jiang Chong, the courtyard master in a kudzu shirt, walked out steadily, his eyes swept over the crowd at the scene.

"I've seen the master. Seeing this, these newly promoted outer disciples naturally didn't dare to slack off, and said in unison.

"Alright, the hour is almost up, and those who don't come will be counted as abstaining, so let's go. "Jiang Zhong doesn't talk nonsense. With a wave of his sleeves, a pale yellow smoke gushed out. Cover all the disciples inside.

Liu Ming only felt that the yellow light flashed in front of him, and his body was light. It was lifted up and moved quickly.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he had stepped on a huge yellow cloud, surrounded by outer disciples, and the master of the courtyard, Jiang Chong, was standing in front of the cloud with his hands behind his back.

In the blink of an eye, the yellow cloud flew away from the peaks where Piaohongyuan was located and flew towards the depths of Wanling Mountain.

An hour later, Jiang Zhong led everyone to the sky above a hidden mountain peak, and the void in front of him was covered with a huge layer of lilac barrier.

Jiang Zhong casually played a trick, tearing open the corner of the enchantment, and the huge cloud immediately entered it in a flash.

Liu Ming only felt a flash of purple in front of him. The void in front of him blurred for a while, and then what came into view was an ordinary mountain.

After a few moments, when the yellow cloud fell on a platform at the top of the mountain, he saw a pitch-black hall sitting on the bare platform.

The appearance of the main hall is antique, and there is no plaque on it, which is quite secret, and the black hall door is even more closed, and there is no one at the door.

After everyone hit the ground, the old man in the kudzu shirt put away the yellow cloud with his sleeves raised. Then he walked to the wooden door, took out a jade slip from his waist, and shook it in front of the door.

The black door of the temple opened from within with a rumbling sound.

The old man walked to the main hall by himself.

After everyone glanced at each other, they naturally followed closely behind the old man. Go to the temple.

After walking through a short corridor, the eyes suddenly opened up, and an empty inner hall with a length and width of dozens of feet appeared in front of everyone.

In the center of this room. It was a huge array, densely engraved with complex runes of different colors. The covered place is enough to be more than ten zhang in size.

Eight ordinary platforms were also built around the circle. Occupies the eight directions of the circle and encloses the circle in the middle.

Around the seven of the high platforms, dozens of outer disciples had already gathered, and they were obviously the new initiation disciples of the other seven branches.

Liu Mingshen swept it down, and found that almost all of these disciples were in the early and middle stage of condensation, and there were very few disciples in the later stage, as for the new disciples whose cultivation was still in the spiritual disciple stage, presumably because their cultivation was too low, and they would not participate in the triennial competition, most of them naturally gave up this trial.

However, even so, Liu Ming still found seven or eight disciples of the Spirit Disciple Stage in the crowd, which made him still a little surprised in his heart.

His gaze circled among the disciples of each academy, and he was quickly attracted by the seven people standing in front of the magic circle in the center of the main hall.

These people should be the masters of the other seven courtyards in the outer gate.

Liu Ming followed the people of Piaohong Courtyard to the last empty high platform, and looked at the seven people.

Among these people, the closest to the circle was an old man with yellow eyebrows with a withered face and deep-set eyes, a beautiful woman wearing a neon robe with a good figure, and a middle-aged man wearing a cyan Confucian costume with sword eyebrows, the man's face was a little indifferent, and he looked like no one should enter.

The other four were standing a little far away from the circle, whispering something, and their dress was unconventional.

Two men dressed as Taoist priests, one looked to be only about thirty years old, dressed in a cyan Taoist robe, with a black wooden sword on his back, while the other was wearing a purple gold Taoist robe, with three long beards hanging down his chest, and a pair of triangular eyes that were more white and less black, looking a little bitter and mean.

The other two laymen were dressed as a pair of men and women, the man was short and stocky, in his forties, with a round hat, a worldly merchant dress, and a pair of yellow wood abacus hanging from his waist.

The woman looked like the youngest of the few, about the same age as Liu Ming, dressed in aqua green clothes, and her face was extremely beautiful.

These seven people, together with Jiang Chong, have unfathomable aura, and they are all similar to the Siren Emperor that Liu Ming had seen at the beginning, and they are obviously all the beings of the True Dan Realm!

"Brother Jiang, you're late today. Seeing Jiang Zhong slowly walking to the bottom of the high platform with a group of Piaohong Academy disciples, the beautiful woman showed a trace of impatience on her face and said.

When the four people who were a little far away from the circle saw Jiang Zhong coming, they immediately stopped talking and leaned towards the circle.

"Jiang Mou is a step late because of some important matters, and I ask you to forgive me. Hearing this, Jiang Chong turned around and walked towards the magic circle after motioning for Liu Ming and the others to wait in place, and said lightly.

"What is more important than the introductory trial? The head of the sect has set this trial in this small flame realm, and I and the disciples of the Seven Academies have been preparing for the trial for a few days, but you are the only one who is happy in the courtyard. That's it, Brother Jiang is still late at the moment, is there something that can't be said. The beautiful woman seemed to be very dissatisfied with Jiang Chong's tardiness, and snorted coldly.

"This morning, Elder Situ personally ordered the summons, and the old man naturally had to make a trip. In the face of the aggressiveness of the young woman in red, Jiang Chong was not angry, and still replied unhurriedly.

"Elder Situ?" the beautiful woman's face changed slightly when she heard this, and her momentum suddenly subsided a lot.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel as soon as you meet, since it was Elder Situ who summoned Brother Jiang, naturally there is something important, let's not make a fool of ourselves in front of our disciples. The short and fat man dressed as a merchant who was walking towards the magic circle, seeing that the two were not talking well, hurriedly spoke out to persuade him, and his round face was full of smiles.

"Now that Brother Jiang has arrived, there is no need to talk nonsense, let's start the trial quickly. "The one who speaks. It was the old man with yellow eyebrows standing next to the beautiful woman.

The eight outer courtyards of the Taiqing Sect originally competed with each other from time to time, especially the results of the big competition between the disciples of the outer sect directly determined the reputation of several academy masters in the sect, and the sect would allocate relevant cultivation resources according to the ranking of each academy.

Therefore, the relationship between the eight masters has naturally been very delicate.

As he spoke, he saw a green shadow flickering, and the sword-eyed man who had been silent had flown to a high platform and stood up with his hands in his hands.

"Let's get started, too. Seeing this, the short and fat man laughed dryly, and then jumped up to a high platform, which was a few points faster than the previous sword-eyebrow man.

The rest of the people naturally nodded and rose into the air, each standing on the high platform around the circle, and at the same time, several people flipped it with one hand, revealing a red token that emitted a light red light, and directly suspended in front of them.

As soon as the eight tokens appeared, they immediately flashed at the same time, like living creatures.

Liu Ming had been secretly observing the eight courtyard masters, only to see the eight people gathered together, their lips moving slightly, but the slightest sound did not leak out, obviously urging some kind of sound insulation secret technique.

After Liu Ming's eyes flashed, he quietly released a wisp of spiritual power and swept it towards the token in front of the old man with yellow eyebrows, but as soon as Fang touched the token, he was flicked away by an invisible prohibition.

The old man with yellow eyebrows seemed to have a sense, and glanced at this side lightly, Liu Ming was shocked in his heart, and quickly lowered his head.

Huang Mei Lao didn't care about retracting his gaze, and suddenly coughed lightly and said to everyone:

"Listen to all the outer disciples, the old man is the master of the Fengling Academy, and now I will briefly explain the content of this trial. This trial, as you and others have heard before, is taking place within the Xiaoyan Realm. After all the disciples entered the Xiao Yan Realm, no matter what method they used, as long as they could obtain three Fire Spirit Essence Cores, they would be considered successful in the trial. And the duration of this trial is one month, and during this period, all the qiē obtained from the Xiaoyan Realm will be owned by private individuals, which can be regarded as a special care for you new disciples, and there will be no such great benefits in the future trials. In addition, it is not forbidden for disciples to compete with each other during the introductory trial, but it is strictly forbidden to deliberately kill other disciples, and once discovered, immediately abolish the cultivation and expel them from the Taiqing Sect!"

When the yellow-eyed old man said this, there was a huge spiritual pressure on his body.

Liu Ming and the others below suddenly felt a dignified extremely huge force pressing towards them, and some disciples who had cultivated to weaker levels immediately "kicked" and took a few steps back, and they were all shocked in their hearts.

"Later, we will join forces to cast a spell to open the entrance to the Xiaoyan Realm, but the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the realm is quite violent, so after teleporting inside, the location where it appears is completely random. And when you come back, it will be very simple, and a jade talisman will be distributed to everyone later, as long as the jade talisman is crushed, we will immediately sense it, urging the power of prohibition to take you back in the air. Seeing that most of the disciples in the audience looked extremely respectful, the old man with yellow eyebrows softened his tone, withdrew the huge spiritual pressure released, and continued.
