But seeing that the stone steps are steep and uneven, and the sides are full of dangers, if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and break your bones.

Walking for less than half a day, Lu Chen was tired and tired, his body was no longer obedient, sweating like rain, difficult to move, at the foot of the mountain, this stone path was not long, but walking on it found that he could not walk to the end, which made people despair.

Lu Chen gritted his teeth and insisted, he knew that this was his last chance, for the look of anticipation on his grandfather's deathbed, for the revival of the family, he had no reason to retreat, even if he was broken!

Lu Chen took another step and walked slowly.

At this moment, a young man in front of Lu Chen stepped on the air because he was careless, and his body instinctively let out a frightened cry, "Help!"

I saw a flash of golden light, and suddenly rushed out of a Qingxia Sect disciple, caught the young man in mid-air, and gently landed at the foot of the mountain, and then sent him back to his earthly hometown.

The others, pale, silent, continued to climb more cautiously, fearing that they would be the second to fall off the cliff.

Time passed in a hurry, Lu Chen didn't know if any of these companions had given up the test, he only knew that he absolutely couldn't give up, although his feet had been blistered with blood, every step he took, the stinging pain of the heart tortured Lu Chen, and his feet were already unable to walk, and finally he could only climb up by hand, every time he climbed, he would be out of breath and sweat coldly, but he still insisted on climbing up.

Hard-working people, the sky does not bear it, finally, Lu Chen arrived in front of the main hall on the top of the mountain before the last ray of light disappeared on the second day of the regulations.

"The strength of the child's Dao heart, although it is a pseudo-spiritual root with mediocre qualifications, may one day really be able to create some achievements!" A sigh of admiration, falling from the top of the mountain peak in the distance, it was Li Mu, the white-clothed monk who was in charge of the test before, his body fell lightly from the stone steps, his eyes swept over the young men who passed the test, and his face showed emotion.

Especially after seeing Lu Chen, he took a deep look at his body, covered in blood, his chest, hands, knees and feet were all bloody and blurred, and finally he climbed to the top of the mountain completely by relying on his hands, the perseverance was moving.

At this time, Lu Chen's consciousness began to blur, but he told himself that he couldn't faint, and the obsession in his heart had been supporting him, and he must confirm that he had passed the test. Sure enough, a loud voice like thunder came, shocking people's hearts.

"The time has come, eight of you are qualified, and the rest will be sent back in place!"

Confirming that he was one of the eight lucky ones, Lu Chen got what he wanted, his tense heartstrings relaxed, and what no one noticed was that as Lu Chen's blood dripped onto the stone beads, a white light disappeared into Lu Chen's chest.

If there were immortals here, they would definitely be amazed, because Lu Chen's body was surrounded by a faint glow, and it was obvious that he had achieved great creation, and this was exactly what Lu Chen's grandfather said about the scene of evolving into a hidden spirit root that had not appeared for tens of thousands of years.

The mysterious stone beads roamed Lu Chen's body, transforming his blood and meridians inch by inch, and the pain he needed to bear can be imagined, Lu Chen suddenly fell into a coma in pain on the stone steps. At this time, several Qingxia Sect disciples quickly walked from the main hall on the top of the mountain, and along the way, they brought Lu Chen and other teenagers who had not reached the top of the mountain to the foot of Qingxia Mountain, and fed the pills in a unified manner.

The eight qualified people, including Lu Chen, after swallowing the pill, all recovered miraculously from their injuries, only Lu Chen was slightly special, and his whole body was covered with a thick layer of black blood scabs, and the Qingxia Sect disciples who were responsible for arranging these eight people only had Qi refining period cultivation, so they didn't see Lu Chen's abnormality.

Then they were taken to see the outer court deacon, saying that it was the outer court, but in fact, it was the miscellaneous office of the entire sect, and it was impossible for the sect to distract the inner gate and the outer door disciples from doing chores, so the outer gate outer court was born, and the deacons were basically high-level qi refining disciples in the outer gate.

For these young men who are willing to be registered disciples in the miscellaneous office, they are still members of the Qingxia Sect, and if they can cultivate to the third level of the Qi refining period, they can enter the outer gate to continue their cultivation.

The rules of the Qingxia Sect are that if you cultivate to reach the third layer of the Qi Refining Period, you can enter the outer gate, and if you cultivate to reach the ninth layer or more in the Qi Refining Period, or you can enter the inner gate if you get the top twenty in the Great Competition of the Outer Gate.

Of course, except for those geniuses who possessed the "Heavenly Spirit Root", they could directly worship a certain Jindan elder in the inner gate as a teacher without taking the test, or even a sect master's disciple.

If you cultivate for three years and still can't break through the third layer of the Qi refining period, the low-qualified disciples will be sent to the worldly world by the Qingxia Sect to deal with some earthly affairs related to the Qingxia Sect as the representative of the sect, but the rest of your life is basically out of the Great Dao.

The deacon of the outer courtyard is called Ma Jun, he has been in the Qingxia Sect for three years, and his cultivation has reached the seventh layer of the qi refining period.

Soon, the tasks of the other seven people were all arranged, and Lu Chen was the last.

"Senior Brother Lu, hello, my surname is Ma, my name is Ma Jun, I am now the deacon of the outer gate and the outer courtyard, and the job arranged for you is to go to the outer gate medicine garden to help, Senior Brother Liu, who managed the medicine garden a few days ago, has something to go out, so I want to find a medicine garden boy to manage the medicine garden for him, or you can try it! Although you are from a pseudo-spiritual root, I hope you don't give up on yourself, it is not easy to cultivate immortals, as long as you persevere, there will always be a chance to go to the outer gate to cultivate, and even become an inner disciple is possible!"

Lu Chen went through a lot of hardships to enter the sect, and when he heard Senior Brother Ma's words of encouragement at this moment, he was deeply moved in his heart, and immediately nodded and agreed to go to the medicine garden on duty.

Deacon Ma continued: "Of course, the outer sect will also assess all the registered disciples one by one, like Senior Brother Lu, if you go to the medicine garden to help, if the medicinal herbs handed in after a year or the quantity do not meet the requirements, the outer gate will also punish you, or even expel you from the sect." In addition, if you go south, you will naturally find several rows of bungalows, and you can find your room according to the waist card. ”

After speaking, after Senior Brother Ma handed Lu Chen a set of gray robes and waist tags worn by registered disciples, he began to close his eyes and recuperate, and stopped talking.

"Thank you for your teachings!" Lu Chen thanked Deacon Ma, then turned south to find a place to live.

After he left, Senior Brother Ma opened his eyes and said to himself:

"Hey, I hope that some of the eight of you named disciples can be promoted to the outer gate smoothly, it has been several years since a registered disciple of the outer court has been promoted to the outer gate. ”
