Of course, all this was still too far away for Huang Chang and the other new disciples, and the top priority in front of them was to complete all kinds of basic training as soon as possible, meet the requirements of cultivating the Fa, and officially embark on the path of cultivating immortals - at the moment, they were just wandering outside the door, and they were not qualified to go on the road at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Senior Brother Mu and Senior Sister Chen made it very clear: lay the foundation first in the first year of entry, but this is only the lower limit of time, and there is no upper limit. If anyone's internal cultivation is not in place within this year, and he cannot reach the realm of innate great perfection, then even after a year, the sect will not teach him the Taoist techniques, and he will have to continue to build the foundation until he reaches the standard.

The new disciples are valued by the sect, and all kinds of resources are supplied, but the pressure on them from the sect is not small - West Kunlun Mountain recruits disciples every five years, and there will also be an assessment for the disciples in the sect every five years, and the assessment is extremely strict, if they cannot meet the requirements, they will be sent down the mountain, which is called the "big school inspection" in the sect. The specific time was one year before the opening of the mountain gate to recruit new disciples, so Huang Chang and his new disciples would suffer a little loss, and in another four years, they would face the first major school inspection.

For Huang Chang and his group of Tsing Yi disciples who have just started, the difficulty of the first assessment is not high, and they only need to officially enter the early stage of qi refining, that is, they must have mana in their bodies, and they can cast a few spells to become a genuine cultivator, which is to meet the requirements. It doesn't sound difficult, but don't forget that new disciples don't teach the Fa in their first year, which means that for Huang Chang and his group, the time they can actually cultivate is only three years. The transformation from an ordinary mortal to a monastic will be completed in three years, the so-called "100 days to build the foundation, 1000 days to get started" - but this is what is used to describe those geniuses. For those with poor qualifications, this time is still quite short. Especially if the foundation building time in the early stage is too long, the time to truly cultivate the Dao Fa will only be shorter, and after four years, the major school inspection will not be qualified, but it will be directly sent down the mountain, and no one can violate it.

And if you pass this assessment, the rest of the time will become more relaxed. This is followed by a genuine five-year refinement, during this second five-year period, the disciples will wear blue robes, and the strength of the blue-clothed disciples will usually improve by leaps and bounds in these five years, but then the requirements of the second assessment will become higher and stricter - in addition to the need to check some specific abilities, the second assessment is mainly to judge the comprehensive strength of the disciples, and its specific requirements are to crack a set of formations - requiring the trial disciples to have fought the Bronze Horse Hall Great Array.

The Bronze Horse Hall is handed down from the ancient Kunlun Mountain period, a set of high-level magic arrays specially used to test the strength of disciples in the Qi refining period, Senior Sister Chen once took Huang Chang and them to visit, from the outside it looks like an ordinary huge hall, at the entrance there is a bronze horse statue that stands upright, and the hooves are neighing, so it is named. But there is another cave inside. Once the trainees entered, they would be teleported to various different areas, encountering various situations, similar to the "Connecting Golden Bridge" that Huang Chang and the others had walked on when they had gone up the mountain earlier.

However, the trials in the Bronze Horse Hall are by no means as simple as illusions deceiving people, it can be said that every time and every place in the Bronze Horse Hall is like connecting the last section of the thorny vine blood path on the Golden Bridge, it will really bring pain and harm to people. On the one hand, according to the strength and characteristics of the trial disciples, it will automatically gather spiritual energy internally, and generate phantom opponents of the corresponding level to compete with the trial disciples - although these opponents are phantom spirits, they really have lethal and destructive power, and they will definitely be stronger than the strength of the trial disciples, and they are all generated for the weaknesses of the trial disciples, or win in large numbers. On the other hand, the outside world can also put some captured ghosts, spirit beasts, or zombies and other entities into the formation, and sometimes even arrange personnel to enter the formation to participate in the battle or preside, so as to increase the difficulty of the assessment of the trial disciples.

Therefore, the difficulty of breaking through the Bronze Horse Hall Formation was extremely high, and basically, if the strength of the test disciple could not reach the level of the middle stage of Qi refining, or even close to the level of the late stage of Qi refining, it would be impossible to pass the test. Therefore, disciples who have always undergone trials will be required to bring special charms, and once their lives are in danger, they will be automatically teleported out of the array, otherwise they may really die inside.

Disciples who have beaten the Bronze Horse Hall will be awarded the title of "True Disciple" and will be given the opportunity to continue cultivating on the mountain and strive for the advancement of the Fa Yuan Stage. Only this group of people can be regarded as truly recognized as the inheritors of the Western Kunlun Mountain Dao system - people like Huang Chang who have just entered the mountain can only be called "beginner disciples", although they are allowed to study and cultivate on the mountain, but they are like students recruited by the university, and they will graduate as soon as the time comes. Only those who have passed the Bronze Horse Hall will be given the opportunity to stay in the school and become official members of West Kunlun Mountain.

Of course, the disciples who have worked hard to cultivate in the West Kunlun Mountains cannot give up at will - those who can't pass the Bronze Horse Hall, but don't want to go down the mountain, can also stay on the mountain and wait for the next major inspection in five to ten years to go back to the Bronze Horse Hall Formation. However, during this period of time, the sect will no longer provide the various resources needed for their cultivation for free, they need to perform various daily chores for the sect in exchange for resources to continue their cultivation.

-- Ten years of learning art, this is the time requirement for a disciple in Xi Kunlun to reach the middle stage of qi refining from the beginning, if he can't pass the Bronze Horse Hall by then, he will either go down the mountain to perform tasks for the sect, or stay on the mountain to serve as a miscellaneous servant, in short, he will no longer be able to cultivate carefree. For cultivators, building a foundation in a hundred days and entering in a thousand days, these two are supported by the powerful resources of the West Kunlun Sect, and it is not too difficult to do it, but it is quite difficult to cultivate to the point of the middle or even late stage of the cultivation period in just ten years-today, the monks who haunt the human world are already the best among them who can reach the middle stage of qi refining, and if they are in a small sect, they can be regarded as the backbone. And if there is a level in the late stage of qi refining, you can basically walk sideways in the human world. As for the Fa Yuan Period, or even if it was just the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, he would already belong to the Grandmaster who had the qualifications to establish a mountain in the human world.

And those who have practiced on West Kunlun Mountain for ten years, even if they still can't pass the Bronze Horse Hall, their strength can't be lower than the middle stage of Qi refining, and Xi Kunlun sets the standard for going down the mountain at this stage, which is more realistic, at least to ensure that their disciples have enough self-protection ability after going down the mountain, and they are not easy to be bullied - this is just a statement. In fact, if the disciples of Xi Kunlun have a conflict with other sects of the Immortal Sect, most of them will be able to gain the upper hand if they compete with the same rank, and it is good that they don't bully people outside. Among the monks in the world, there are really not many who dare to trouble the disciples of West Kunlun.

And the sect is not laissez-faire to the disciples who go down the mountain, they will be sent to perform various duties in various places in the world as the outer disciples of Xi Kunlun. The status of West Kunlun Mountain in the world of immortal cultivation can be described as more than just a university - this giant sect is the representative and epitome of the entire world of immortal cultivation, and it can be called a small society in itself, with schools, enterprises, banks, mines, and ...... If necessary, it can also serve as a police officer or even the military. And all of this requires the establishment of a large number of departments and the use of a large number of personnel to operate and manage.

The leaders of these departments are usually true disciples from within the sect to ensure that the power is not sidelined. However, the people who really do the work are played by many outer disciples, such as the immortal master who awarded Huang Chang the mountain worship token back then, he is specifically responsible for walking around the country, while maintaining the prestige and interests of the sect, there is also an important responsibility is to select talented teenagers from all over the country and grant them the right to worship the mountain gate, that is an outer disciple.

These outer disciples are extremely respected in the world, and their life is far more comfortable than the hard days on the mountain, and it is not that the outer disciples will have no chance to continue to advance in the future. As long as they can make enough merits for the sect, they can also enter the inner gate to receive the true inheritance. If you can advance to the Fa Yuan period, you will no longer be divided into inner and outer doors, and all of them will equally enjoy the various treatments that the sect has for Fa Yuan disciples. Therefore, for those disciples who are about to graduate, it is best to be able to break through the Great Array of the Bronze Horse Hall and directly enter the inner gate to become true disciples. Don't be sad and disappointed if you can't get in for a while, just continue to work hard in the future. There are even some people who know that their strength is limited, and they are practical and simply ask to go to the outer gate directly after the expiration of ten years, and they don't even bother to fight Tongmatang.

In Huang Chang's view, this is the relationship between taking the graduate school entrance examination and finding a job, not to mention who is good and who is bad, and the future development depends on the future. However, his idea is not mainstream among the new disciples, the vast majority of West Kunlun disciples are still proud to enter the inner door, since they know the meaning of "beating the Bronze Horse Hall" on the West Kunlun Mountain, these children are even playing games every day are shouting "Break the Copper Horse Hall".

-- This can be regarded as some kind of subtle ideological indoctrination.
