Volume 1 The Mortal Realm Chapter 3 The Spiritual Root Test
After speaking, the old man carefully handed over the ancestral stone bead to Lu Chen, and taught the secret method with his ear, and after Lu Chen put away the orb, the old man's wish was fulfilled, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Thinking of the days when he lived with his grandfather, Lu Chen couldn't help but burst into tears, "Grandpa, I will definitely worship in the Immortal Gate, strive to become a monk as soon as possible, crack the secret of Shizhu, and avenge the family!"
The next day, after Lu Chen buried his grandfather, he prepared dry food and luggage and embarked on his journey to find immortals.
I don't know how much time I have walked, on this day, there is a towering mountain peak in front of me, a thousand rocks are showing, the clouds and mist are shrouded, although I can't see the details clearly, but sometimes there is a pleasant sound of cranes. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, a winding stone step path, winding down from the mountain peak, like a fairyland on earth.
Although the top of the mountain is covered by clouds and mist, a golden hall can be faintly seen, and the colorful light flashes in it, and it is the cave blessed land of the immortal family at a glance.
Such a cave, naturally is the mountain gate of Qingxia Sect, Lu Chen can walk here, I have to say that the fairy fate has arrived, you must know how many people visit the mountains and rivers of Dongzhou, if no one is guided, you will not see the mountain gate of these seven major sects.
Qingxia Sect is one of the few immortal cultivation sects in Dongzhou, and when the sect was established hundreds of thousands of years ago, it once became the strongest sect in Dongzhou, with a god god monarch and dozens of Yuanying true monarchs, and the scenery was unique for a while.
It's a pity that with the passage of time, especially after several shocking changes in the middle, the inheritance was almost broken.
Today, in the past, there was only one Yuanying monk and a few Jindan monks, and they were so bleak that they could barely maintain a foothold in Dongzhou.
Despite this, Qingxia Sect is still a longed-for immortal blessed land for mortals within a million miles nearby.
I have to say that Lu Chen's luck is extremely good, today is the last day for Qingxia Sect to select disciples, and suddenly I saw several Changhong swords coming.
The white-clothed monk at the head glanced at the many young men and girls who were waiting in front of the mountain gate, including Lu Chen, and said calmly: "Among you, only a few of you will be selected to become disciples of my sect, and the first test to become a monk is talent, to put it simply, it is to test whether you have a spiritual root. Now whoever I call will come to me. ”
The whitefriar casually ordered a teenager. The young man stepped forward tremblingly, and the person pressed his hand on the top of the young man's head, and said indifferently: "Unqualified, stand on the left." ”
The white-clothed Zhuji monk is called Li Mu, although he is very sympathetic to this young man, but the sect has the latest regulations, these "pseudo-spiritual roots" teenagers and girls will no longer be included in the door, it turns out that in the past tens of thousands of years, the Qingxia Sect has more and more disciples under the door, and they can't make ends meet, so the top management of the sect has raised the threshold for admitting new disciples.
Then another teenager was pointed, and walked up to the middle-aged man with a somewhat pale face.
"Not qualified. ”
"Not qualified. ”
"Not qualified. ”
More than 20 people in a row, all of them are unqualified, and on the right side of the middle-aged man, there is no one so far.
The middle-aged man continued the test, and after putting his hand on a teenager's head, he suddenly showed joy on his face, and said softly: "Go to the right and stand up." ”
In the envious gaze of everyone, the young man walked to the right with a proud expression.
The teenagers who didn't pass the test were frustrated one by one, and a few of them were even more sobbing.
The performance of these teenagers after facing the blow is also one of the criteria for selecting disciples, Li Mu thought about it and said, "Send these crying teenagers back directly!"
As he spoke, a few young disciples of the Qingxia Sect came from not far away, grabbed the young men who were crying, and quickly disappeared with the sword light.
Lu Chen was in the last test, he took a deep breath, walked in front of the middle-aged man with great anxiety, and prayed silently in his heart.
"I hope I can be chosen!" Lu Chen comforted himself.
The other party pressed his hand on the top of Lu Chen's head, and spit out the three words that were repeated the most today with an expressionless face.
"Unqualified!"
Like a thunderbolt from the sky, Lu Chen didn't know how he got to the team on the left, as if the end of the world was coming, thinking of the family's blood feud and his grandfather's expectations for him, Lu Chen was like entering an ice cave, trembling all over, and his face was like ashes.
This time, there were only five people who passed the Qingxia Sect test and directly entered the outer gate.
"Cultivating immortals, qualifications are important, but perseverance is essential. I sent the ancestor of the mountain to be born in the "pseudo-spiritual root", although the qualifications are average, but the hard work, coupled with the great opportunity, and finally cultivated into the god of the gods, the patriarch out of fairness, once set up an ancestral teaching: for all test takers, regardless of qualifications, as long as they have perseverance, they can become the registered disciples of the outer gate of this sect, and once the cultivation reaches the third level of the qi refining period, there is also a chance to worship the outer door to cultivate! This second test is perseverance!
After a pause, Li Mu continued: "Go up the stone steps here, reach the front of the main hall on the top of the mountain, and count it as passing, if it is not completed before sunset the next day, you can only send you back to your hometown." If you can't hold on halfway or are in danger, shout out to give up, and someone will send you away. ”
After speaking, Li Mu looked at the five people on the right with a smile and said, "You go with me to see the elders of the outer gate, and I will arrange everything for you when the time comes." ”
After Li Mu finished giving the order, he took these "True Spirit Root" disciples to the mountain peak and disappeared.
Lu Chen's eyes were firm, and after calming down, he walked towards the stone steps without hesitation to conduct the second test of perseverance, which was also the hope of the remaining people.
Among these people, there are those who look depressed, those who are resolute, and those who hesitate, and their performances are very different.
But gradually, everyone stepped on the ladder in unison, and no matter what, they had to make one last effort.
Everyone is looking forward to passing this test, for them, it is better to worship in the outer gate and outer courtyard as a registered disciple than to return to the earthly world, and after a hundred years, there is only one tomb and a pile of white bones.
