On the gimbal, Bai Jinfeng pressed the air below him, and suddenly a silver gate appeared out of thin air. The gate had no door, and inside the door was pitch black and occasionally flowing light and shadow—a portal.

"The world inside the gate is exactly the same as the assessment place in the nine-storied pagoda. Once you enter the door, you will be transported to different independent assessment voids without any disturbance to each other. At the same time, you will be suppressed by cultivation in it, and you will no longer have any spiritual power, and naturally it will be impossible to open the storage bag and use the magic weapon. In the assessment, all you can use is your own divine thoughts, and giving answers to the void with divine thoughts is what you have to do. ”

"The selection test can be completed in advance and then withdrawn, or it can be abandoned and voluntarily withdrawn, but no one is allowed to stay in it for more than one hour. After an hour, whether you have completed the identification or not, it will automatically come out of the assessment world. ”

"Now, let's get to the entrance exam and start your first round of assessments!"

With Bai Jinfeng's shout, the group cultivators below began to walk towards the assessment gate in turn.

"Brother Ji, brothers and sisters, junior brother is waiting for you to come out, waiting for your good news!" Huan Yin bowed to all the scattered cultivators around him and said loudly.

......

An hour later, all the monks returned to the square. At this moment, there is already an additional Dao boy by Bai Jinfeng's side, and this Dao boy has a loud voice, and he is loudly announcing the results of this first round of material recognition assessment one by one.

In the first round of assessment, only more than 300 of the more than 1,300 monks of Yijian Peak passed, and even 30% of them did not account for it. However, among the more than 500 casual cultivators, nearly 300 people passed, this number. More than half of the total number of retreats.

The first round of the selection of the First Sword Peak Instrument Master is over, and the first round of the selection test of this session has never been the case, that is, the pass rate of loose cultivation far exceeds the pass rate of the First Sword Peak Instrument Cultivation.

The reason for this situation is not because the cultivation of the First Sword Peak has regressed. The pass rate of Yijian Peak's instrument cultivation in the first round has always been around 30%, and the instrument cultivators of Yijian Peak have always been proud of this achievement. Even many of the elders of the Yijian Peak Sect were very satisfied with this achievement. Because in the previous selection examinations, those who have not been eliminated after the first round of assessment have never exceeded one percent. Therefore, this time, the reason why there will be a situation where the external participation in the test is more than the cultivation of the first sword peak main sect is because the scattered cultivation has made amazing progress. And this progress is not the progress of a single individual, but the progress of the entire group of loose practitioners.

The appearance of this situation instantly shocked the cultivators of the First Sword Peak, including Bai Jinfeng. You must know that casual cultivation has always been an unpopular character in the eyes of Yijian Peak's instrument cultivators, and this time. It's a shame that they were completely defeated by characters they despise.

The results of the first round of the selection of the First Sword Peak Instrument Master attracted the attention of the First Sword Peak Sect, and they suddenly felt that they seemed to be accustomed to the weakness of foreign scattered cultivation, and they also forgot that they had never improved. However, there are also many Yijian Peak Weapon Cultivators who blame Huan Yin for this result. Huan Yin, a young man who has repeatedly created miracles in Yijian Peak, is also a member of the external participation in the casual cultivation. Therefore, some of the Yijian Peak Cultivators thought that perhaps it was Huan Yin, who had amazing attainments in material knowledge, that he had privately taught these casual cultivators some tricks or secret methods for material recognition. So just wait until tomorrow when the results of the second round of the selection are out. The casual cultivators will be revealed in their true form.

......

In the afternoon of this day, on the eighth order of Yijian Peak. The old man was playing chess with his apprentice.

"Master, have you seen him?" the young apprentice asked the old man.

"Many times. The old man also left a son, and replied.

"How is he?" the apprentice asked again.

"I can recognize myself and learn wholeheartedly, just this heart. There is no limit to what he can achieve in the future. I am a junior in the Sword Peak, and no one can match him. The old man replied again.

The young apprentice thought for a while and then said, "Does the master think that the results of this first round of the selection test are really because of him alone?"

"Yes and no. It is true that his ability to recognize materials is outstanding, but he knows materials together. It is by accumulation and understanding, there is no shortcut, and no matter how strong his ability is, there is no way to teach it to others. Someone in the door actually said that Sanxiu had obtained his secret method, which was really stupid. In my opinion, the reason why the casual cultivation was able to make such great progress this time should be due to the spiritual influence of his dedication to learning, and also because Zhao Wei brought them a lot of help. ”

The young apprentice shook his head and sighed, "I hope that this performance of casual cultivation can teach those who are resting on their laurels in the door a lesson." ”

......

Early the next morning, more than 600 cultivators who had passed the first round of the selection test the day before returned here. The difference between today and yesterday is that today the surroundings of this selection square are full of people watching, and even many of the predecessors of Yijian Peak have come here.

The appearance of these spectators made many unaware disciples who participated in the test inexplicable. Because the selection and examination of the previous appraisers were all conducted in an independent void, people outside could not see it, so naturally no one would come to watch.

After all the disciples had arrived, Bai Jinfeng, who was sitting on the cloud platform, stood up and said loudly: "Today is the second round of my selection of a sword peak instrument master, and the assessment item for today's round is sword casting. The place where the assessment will be conducted is still in the void of the Gate of Trials, and each assessment disciple will have an independent assessment space and will not be affected by the outside world. ”

"The space of the assessment is no different from the space of the phantom furnace that you are familiar with, in which there is only one flame, the furnace fire, and there are a total of fifty choices of materials for forging swords. The assessment time is three hours, and within three hours, those who can cast a second-grade or higher immortal sword can pass this round of assessment, and the rest will be eliminated!"

Today's selection test is still amazingly difficult. You must know that the steps of forging a sword are complicated, three hours is too short, and it is difficult to become a sword, so Mo said that these rookie disciples who participated in the test were required to cast immortal swords of more than two grades. What's more, there are so few flames and materials to choose from.

Bai Jinfeng paused for a while and said: "Today's and tomorrow's assessments will be one thing different from the past, that is, your situation in the assessment place will be projected for people from the outside world to watch. ”

The situation of the assessment place will be projected outward, and this rule has never been seen in the selection of instruments of Yijian Peak. When Bai Jinfeng received the news, he was also surprised. However, this new rule passed down from above seemed to have been set by Patriarch Lan Yanzi himself, which couldn't help but make Bai Jinfeng think about it carefully.

Bai Jinfeng thought that the reason why the patriarch decided to do this temporarily might be because the performance of the first round of loose cultivation was too eye-catching, which caused a strong shock in the door of the instrument cultivation. Therefore, he wanted to simply let everyone take a look at whether the progress of instrument cultivation was what some people said, just by chance, or whether the casual cultivation had really surpassed the new cultivator of the First Sword Peak Sect.

"Okay, the second round of the trial begins, quickly enter the door of the trial!" Bai Jinfeng shouted, and all the participating instrument cultivators here began to walk towards the door.

For Huan Yin, today is the first time he has participated in the assessment of the appraiser selection exam. And the items assessed today, he has already guessed. After all, sword casting is the duty of all instrument cultivators, and it would be too strange if the master of a sword peak didn't even take the sword casting test.

Soon, Huan Yin entered the world of assessment. Here, as Bai Jinfeng said, it was exactly the same as the world in the phantom furnace, there was nothing in the void except for a large furnace for forging swords.

Soon, a barrage of information entered Huan Yin's mind - it was the information that he could call on the materials here. After Huan Yin had fifty materials in his mind, he couldn't help frowning. Because the materials that can be called here are too basic, the best ones are like heavy single leaves, and the most common ones even have fine iron.

In this assessment, the conditions given are really not good. Not only is the flame ordinary, but the materials are also extremely ordinary, although such conditions seem to be suitable for these new cultivators who participate in the selection test, but with their sword-forging attainments, how easy is it to use these ordinary things to create a second-grade immortal sword or higher?

You must know that the immortal swords that have become an instrument master are generally only from one to three grades, and there is no limit to the materials they use. In fact, often when an artifact is able to create a high-grade fairy sword, it is because he uses some uncommon materials. After all, materials are too important for a sword, if a person only has fine iron, no matter how high his sword-forging attainments are, how many immortal swords can he become?

Huan Yin walked to the sword stove and lit the fire, and began to warm it up, and then he sat down cross-legged, he needed to sort out his thoughts on forging the sword today.

At this moment, in the square outside, there were more than 600 light curtains of the same size spread out in the sky. Each of these light curtains is a projection of the assessment of the disciples participating in the examination at this moment, and the light curtain where Huan Yin is located is naturally the most eye-catching. Because everyone knows that Huan Yin's attainments are amazing, but no one has ever seen his sword-forging attainments.

"Senior brother, how far do you think he can do today?" asked an old man sitting on the sidelines to another old man sitting next to him. Obviously, these two old men were both the predecessors of Yijian Peak's instrument cultivation.

"The way of forging swords requires a lot of experience, although he is very talented, but he is always a teenager, how many swords can come out of his hand? In my opinion, he will not be able to live today!" replied the old man, who was called "Senior Brother". (To be continued.) )
