In the early morning of this day, the bells rang out, reverberating in the sky over the entire Kaishan County.

After hearing the bell, the monks rushed out of the city one after another, heading towards the mountain gate of the Ziwei Sect.

Lu Chen had heard someone mention it before, as long as the bell rang, it would be the Ziwei Sect that summoned everyone to participate in the test.

This time, the Ziwei Sect recruited a total of one hundred inner disciples and one thousand outer disciples.

The cultivation of inner disciples is required to be above the merger period, while the threshold for outer disciples is relatively low, and they only need to transform into gods.

But in Lu Chen's ears, it caused an uproar, you must know that the God Transformation Stage is already a top cultivator in the mortal world, but in the spirit world, he can only become an outer disciple.

Lu Chen only truly understood at this moment why the two inner disciples of the Great Luo Heavenly Sect looked down on the mortal realm cultivators so much when they were in the mortal realm immortal cultivation conference.

About an hour or so, everyone rushed to the gate of Ziwei Sect, although the mountain gate was not fully opened, but the faint appearance of several towering Lingfeng phantoms made everyone's eyes reveal endless yearning and worship.

On the way here, Lu Chen heard that the test for recruiting new disciples in the Ziwei Sect was not complicated, and there were only two tests in total.

The first is to test the monk's aptitude, and the second is to test the monk's cultivation strength.

There is a huge square in front of the gate of Ziwei Sect, there is a cyan hall in front of the square, and a golden plaque is hung on the door of the hall, which reads "Kaishan Palace" three big characters.

At this moment, all the monks who wanted to worship the Ziwei Sect had all come to the square.

"Fellow Daoist, how come the recruitment of this new disciple is all monks, and there are no mortals?" Lu Chen asked a monk beside him curiously.

"You're talking about a children's test, right? I heard that the test was done a few months ago. The man replied.

"Then these gifted and intelligent children are generally cultivating in the outer gate after they are admitted to the sect?" Lu Chen continued to ask.

The reason why Lu Chen asked this question was because at the Immortal Cultivation Conference in the mortal realm, the Ziwei Sect had recruited more than 20 children, and he didn't know how they were doing in the Ziwei Sect.

The man nodded, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist, it's the first time you've come to participate in the Ziwei Sect's test to recruit new disciples, right?"

Lu Chen said, "Yes, it's the first time I've come!"

The man sighed and said, "Hey, this is the ninth time I've taken the test, and if I can't become an inner disciple this time, I'll have to wait another ten years." ”

Lu Chen couldn't help but admire this person, you must know that the Ziwei Sect will only recruit new disciples once in ten years, and this person has persisted for ninety years, which shows his strong perseverance.

Lu Chen said, "If you can't become an inner disciple, then you can cultivate in the outer gate for the time being, and one day, you can also worship in the inner gate." ”

When the man heard this, his body trembled, and he sighed and said, "Thank you Daoyou for your advice, I can only blame myself for being too obsessed, and I always feel that I will be ridiculed by people if I worship the outer gate in the realm of the late stage of my integration, so although I had the opportunity to become an outer disciple nine times before, I gave up in the end." ”

The man smiled at Lu Chen and said, "My name is Ding Ye, and my surname is Daoyou?"

Lu Chen said: "Under Lu Chen!"

Ding Ye muttered it several times, Lu Chen, Lu Chen, he always felt that this name was very familiar, and he had often heard people talk about it recently.

Lu Chen asked, "Ding Daoyou, have you heard my name?"

Ding Ye said, "You can't be the one who has escaped the assassination of the Shadow Killer three times, right?"

Lu Chen nodded.

Ding Ye showed a look of shock, and then hugged his fist at Lu Chen, and said: "Lu Daoyou's name is like thunder below. ”

Lu Chen clasped his fists and saluted, "Ding Daoyou has won the award!"

At this moment, there were several Changhong falling in the square, led by a middle-aged monk in the late stage of the Tribulation realm, followed by several young disciples, who were cultivating in the combined period.

The middle-aged monk's name is Ma Tao, a disciple of Jianfeng, and he is also the deacon of Ziwei Sect, and this time he is in charge of the test of the new disciple.

Ma Tao's gaze swept over the people in the square, and asked loudly, "Is there a monk named Lu Chen among you?"

Lu Chen's face was calm, he stood up, and said, "It's right down there."

Lu Chen!".

Ma Tao looked Lu Chen up and down, and said coldly, "You are the first to participate in the test!"

Lu Chen saw that the other party spoke coldly and had a very bad attitude, and he named him to take the test first, so he vaguely guessed in his heart that this should be Han Yushu, who had a grudge against him, making trouble behind his back.

Lu Chen guessed correctly, before Ma Tao came, Han Yushu found him and asked him to do a favor, that is, to try to prevent a loose cultivator named Lu Chen from becoming an inner disciple of Ziwei Sect.

Not to mention that Han Yushu is the grandson of the Sword Peak Peak Lord, and his request is not too much, Ma Tao agreed without thinking about it.

Lu Chen's face was calm, and he followed Ma Tao into the cyan hall.

The hall is unusually wide, nearly a thousand zhang in size, and there is a stone platform dozens of zhang high in the middle.

Under the stone platform sat an old man dressed in gray, because his aura was restrained, so he couldn't see his true cultivation realm.

The old man opened his eyes after seeing Lu Chen and Ma Tao come in.

Ma Tao was stunned for a moment, and then saluted respectfully to the old man, "Meet the ancestor." ”

Obviously, Ma Tao didn't expect Gu Qingfeng to check it personally.

Lu Chen didn't expect that this emaciated old man turned out to be one of the three great patriarchs of the Ziwei Sect.

Ma Tao pointed to Lu Chen behind him and said, "Ancestor, this is the first monk to participate in the test. ”

The gray-clothed old man nodded and looked up at Lu Chen.

When he saw the storage ring on the middle finger of Lu Chen's right hand, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

The old man retracted his gaze and waved towards the stone platform to make a spell.

Dazzling blue light suddenly bloomed on the stone platform, enveloping the entire stone platform.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't go up yet!" Ma Tao said coldly to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen frowned, but he still stepped on the stone platform quickly.

The blue light on the stone platform instantly submerged the land dust.

Lu Chen only felt that there was an extremely comfortable spiritual power that penetrated into his body.

Immediately, this spiritual power flowed around with his meridians.

After a few breaths, this spiritual power circulated in Lu Chen's body for a circle, and then flowed back to the stone platform, and the blue light on the stone platform also disappeared.

The old man whispered to himself, "With such a low qualification, how can there be such a strong thunder attribute and fire attribute spiritual power in the body?

At this time, Ma Tao asked, "Ancestor, what is this person's qualifications?"

The old man said, "Inferior qualifications!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Tao was overjoyed, and he finally found a suitable excuse.

Lu Chen's face was calm, and he did not show a look of loss because of the words of the ancestor of the Ziwei Sect, because he knew that his body had become the legendary hidden spirit root after being washed and refined by the Zhenxian Pagoda.

And this kind of physique is the most easy to be regarded as an ordinary pseudo-spiritual root, even if the spiritual venerable is here, it may not be able to distinguish it.

At this time, Ma Tao opened his mouth and said, "Lu Chen, below is the cultivation test, after a boulder appears on the stone platform, you attack it with all your might." ”

As soon as the words fell, a boulder several feet high appeared a few feet in front of Lu Chen.

As soon as Lu Chen's right hand was raised, a majestic spiritual power suddenly spread out from the palm of his hand.

With his right hand pressed forward!

The boulder in front of him was shattered in an instant, turning into countless powders.

Ma Tao was completely stunned, Lu Chen, a monk with low qualifications, was able to smash this boulder that could withstand the full force of the Combined Great Perfection Realm.

In fact, during the low-key period, Lu Chen did not go all out to use the Imperial Spirit Seal Divine Power.

An imperceptible light flashed in the old man's eyes, and it was obvious that Lu Chen's performance had completely exceeded his expectations.

The old man said, "Merge the Great Perfection Strength!"

When Ma Tao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Ancestor, but his aura is obviously only in the late stage of the merge realm. ”

The old man said unhappily, "Wouldn't a Fusion Late Stage Cultivator have the same strength as a Fusion Great Perfection Cultivator?

Ma Tao was in a cold sweat behind his back, and hurriedly said, "Old."

Ancestor, the disciple didn't mean that, the disciple was just a little surprised. ”

Lu Chen turned around and walked down the stone platform, bowed to the old man, and walked out of the main hall.

After a few breaths, Ma Tao also walked out and called ten people to enter the hall with him again.

After Lu Chen came out, Ding Ye came over and asked, "Lu Daoyou, how is the test?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "Although the results of the cultivation test are acceptable, the qualification test is an inferior qualification!"

Ding Ye sighed and said, "In this way, Lu Daoyou, it will be difficult for you to become an inner disciple, I won't tell you, I am a medium qualification, and when I recruited new disciples in the first eight times, there were many monks with superior qualifications, so I have not been able to worship the inner gate!"

"Although I am a late stage cultivator, my strength can definitely rank in the top 100, but because of my qualifications, I was brushed down eight times in the first eight. ”

Lu Chen nodded.

A few hours later, the thousands of people in the square had completed two rounds of testing.

Then came the agony of waiting.

A moment later, Ma Tao read out the list of 100 inner disciples.

As Lu Chen expected, his name was not on the list.

And Ding Ye was much luckier, his name just happened to be ranked one hundredth.

This person burst into tears of excitement and shouted excitedly, "I have finally become an inner disciple of the Ziwei Sect!"

Lu Chen had a good impression of this person, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Daoyou Ding for getting his wish!"

Ding Ye said embarrassedly, "Let Lu Daoyou laugh!"

At this moment, two long rainbows flew out from the mountain gate of the Ziwei Sect and soon landed on the square.

These two people are Han Yushu and Zhou Qi.

Han Yushu deliberately said to Lu Chen, "Isn't this Lu Daoyou, you also came to our Ziwei Sect to participate in the new disciple test?

At this time, Ma Tao stepped forward and said, "Lu Chen's strength test is ranked in the top 100, but he is an inferior qualification, so after discussion at the top of the sect, he was not recruited as an inner disciple." ”

Han Yushu pretended to show displeasure and said, "Deacon Ma, Lu Chen's fellow Daoist is not simple, not long ago, he escaped the assassination of three Shadow Killers, such a young talent, how can our Ziwei Sect turn it away?"

"What Lord Shaofeng said is reasonable, I didn't think about this matter!" Ma Tao said.

Ma Tao said to Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, although it is a pity that you failed to become an inner disciple this time, if you want, it is also possible to join the outer gate, and this deacon can be the master of this matter!"

Although there are also disciples in the outer sect of the Ziwei Sect, joining the outer sect with the late stage of merging cultivation is a very shameful thing in the eyes of most monks.

Han Yushu was in a very good mood at the moment, and with the new disciple test, he felt that he had humiliated Lu Chen fiercely.

As for him asking Ma Tao to change his mind and invite Lu Chen to join the outer sect of the Ziwei Sect, he thought that he could continue to suppress Lu Chen in the future.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Chen's face was calm and he said, "Then thank you Deacon Ma, I am willing to become an outer disciple of the Ziwei Sect." ”

Han Yushu said with a smile, "Great, Senior Brother Lu Chen, in this way, we will be the same door in the future!"

Han Yushu turned to Ma Tao and said, "Deacon Ma, Senior Brother Lu is my old acquaintance, you say hello to Elder Deng of the Outer Gate, you must take care of Senior Brother Lu." ”

Ma Tao knew very well that the care that Han Yushu was talking about was actually letting the elders of the outer gate suppress Lu Chen.

This person said very cooperatively, "Since Lu Chen is the acquaintance of the Young Peak Lord, I will definitely arrange it!"

For Han Yushu and Ma Tao's double reeds, Lu Chen was too lazy to meet them in general, for him, joining the Ziwei Sect was just to have a convenient identity to help the descendants of Shizun Mu Xiujin.

......

The old man in the opening hall said to himself, "What is the relationship between you, a junior, and my Senior Brother Mu? Senior Brother Mu, if you hadn't fallen back then, I think that your current cultivation would have broken through the late stage of Mahayana, hey, it's a pity!"

The senior disciple Mu in the old man's mouth was Mu Xiujin, who accepted Lu Chen as a disciple in the mortal realm burial immortal valley.
