Chapter 22: The Disciple
Time flies, the green mountains are still the same, and the day of the selection of disciples in the tenth hall has officially arrived.
In the early morning, the sun shines from the mountain peaks, and a golden yellow, egg-yolk-like sun shows a corner. At the foot of the mountain, there are crowds of people, people are boiling, everyone is worried, happy, anxious, confident, and all kinds of expressions come out through their eyes.
A white figure stood on the highest part of a mountain peak and looked down at everyone, white clothes fluttering, autumn water as eyes, a few strands of black hair, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks, and one by one eyes gathered at her.
"Nangong Min", Kang Ziqing said in a low voice, a black treasure knife pinned to his waist, the knife was very long, shaped like a sword, and the treasure-colored scabbard hid the edge.
Chop, the rank is unknown, ancestral, and he is the only one left in the family, so he got it.
Nangong Min thought back to what she had done these days to determine if there was anything missing. She supervised the selection of everyone, and yesterday she rechecked the formation, and exhaled a turbid breath after finding that there was no problem, this was the first time she had dealt with heavy things. She was worried that someone would put in the navy for profit, and it was scary to know that the navy in an important position was terrible.
Of course, she and Elder Xin and Ling will supervise the threshold of competing for the True Transmission disciples, as for the inner disciples, the threshold will be checked by Deacon Jia, Liu, Tian, and Fu, and the outer disciples will be checked by the other nine halls. The two elders and the four deacons were monks who had come to vote in the past few days, and they took office directly after a simple test in Linxi.
The melodious bell rang and burst out.
"The selection began, and the thousands of people holding the purple gold token entered the formation. ”
Elder Ling, who was standing beside Nangong Min, said in a loud voice, his clear voice resounded all around, and at the peak of the mountain, sixteen large golden characters were suspended, each with the size of a zhang.
The crowd at the foot of the mountain surged, holding the purple gold token in their hands, thousands of monks, the sword or flying in the air, landed on the platform of the test site, looking at a green mountain in front of them, the blue lines shrouded the entire green mountain, and the hazy mist rose, blocking their vision, on the other side, a high platform towered, one hundred and eight steps, also known as the ladder to the sky, and in the near distance, a golden giant ball as high as ten zhang stood still, the spirit detector.
The spirit detector, the ground level, can roughly estimate the level of the monk's bloodline.
Kang Ziqing stared at the thousands of people in front of him, and then, he opened his right hand, and a golden token lay in the palm of his hand. It's a great event, both on and off the field, and it's all competing.
There are four types of tokens, purple gold, gold, silver, and copper, which appear in the auction pavilion of the town under the mountain. Purple Gold Token owners can enter the first batch, and the price is as high as one high-grade source crystal (one hundred medium-grade source crystals), through which you can see the score and ranking, and can teleport people out in the promotion of true disciple competition, which is for the children of everyone's clan.
Green Mountain, Seven Peerless Illusion Arrays.
Nearly three hundred monks entered, blue lines enveloped them, and some felt like they had entered a desert, with a wave of heat rushing in their faces, without bounds, and above their heads, a fiery red sun hung high, but they did not see it set. I swallowed a sip of water with difficulty, but felt like I had drunk a mouthful of lava.
This formation is not about breaking the formation, but about persistence, and it is impossible to get out of the desert without determination and perseverance. The Seven Peerless Illusion Array was laid down by Linxi himself, and it was completely impossible to break the formation without refining the void cultivation, and two of the three hundred people turned into gods, and the others were Yuanying and Jiedan, and breaking the formation became a dream.
They walked in the direction of the desert, step by step, one by one the footprints fell, and when they turned their heads, the footprints had long since disappeared, and they did not know how much they had moved forward. In fact, the formation rotates in circles, illusions, the sun rises and sets, the desert rotates, and I can't distinguish things, so I can only go in one direction again.
One by one, the monks withdrew, and when they looked back, there were still ten people who had not come out, sighed, and walked towards the ladder to the sky.
A day later, ten people came out, but they didn't see them with calm faces, and flew towards the ladder to the sky. These ten people are undoubtedly successful, they are in a stronger state of mind, they can go on quietly, and they get higher scores than their predecessors.
Up to 100 zhang ladder to the sky, divided into six stages, sharp gold, wood vine, strong water, yang fire, thick earth, yin wind, each stage has eighteen steps, that is, eighteen small levels.
The monk standing at the bottom looked upward, a line to the sky, and the sky was full of white clouds. Exhaled a sullen breath and stepped on it directly, the golden sword qi emerged at the stairs, shooting upward, and the monk standing on his feet could only endure it, and the pain of the sword qi entering the sea of knowledge was dizzy.
When a monk first stepped on the tenth staircase, he fell directly downward, and the purple gold token shone brightly, teleporting him out. As the number of ladder layers increased, the sharpness of the sword qi also increased. Above, one person was tightly entangled by the wooden vine, unable to move at all, and had to give up. (Magic weapons cannot be used in these processes)
"Three thousand people with golden tokens entered the formation. ”
Kang Ziqing subconsciously shook the slash pinned to his waist, and a cold current came from the hilt, making his heart calmer, his eyes flashed, and he stepped into the air, step by step, even high, and then landed on the test platform, looking at the ladder in front of him. When the last man had fallen, the three thousand scattered and marched in three directions.
Dressed in tight-fitting black, he stepped directly on the ladder to the sky, and the sharp golden sword shot into the sea of knowledge, where the sea was known, the waves were rolling, one by one the waves were extinguished, the intense pain spread all over the body, the green tendons trembled, the fine sweat between the foreheads gathered into drops, slid down the face, hit the white jade ladder, and splashed a firework.
When he stepped on the seventeenth step, the intense pain irritated his throat, driving him to vent, and the blood-colored pictures fluttered in front of him, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and forced him to purse his lips tightly, and his right foot firmly stepped on the eighteenth step, the black clothes were already soaked, and the bloodshot in his eyes slowly dissipated.
A water purification recipe was used, and a thin stream flowed through the body, washing away the exhaustion. Continuing to step up the stairs, bowing his head slightly, he forcibly tore off the two vines that bound his feet, and two deep blood marks coiled around his ankles. His feet stepped up another staircase, and the earth-colored dagger stabbed directly into the soles of his feet, through the white bones, but he didn't stop. A yin wind wafted out, cutting the flesh off his legs, exposing the white bones. Looking at the top three stairs stopped.
Below, eyes focused on him, and he looked up at a puddle of autumn water, and he could see the surprise in it. The yin wind continued to blow, and the outermost layer of white bone turned gray and fell, drifting and dissipating.
With a wry smile, he fell down the ladder, and a white silk flew out and landed under him, and when he was about to catch him, he slashed across his waist, propping him up and falling to the ground.
A Qi Replenishing Pill flew out of his storage bag and landed in his mouth, the flesh and blood on his legs grew, and a stream of source qi poured into the dantian. Then, he flew towards the Seven Absolute Illusion Array.
Elder Ling, who was beside Nangong Min, was curious, but he didn't ask, looked at Kang Ziqing, and met a pair of dark eyes. Bai Aya did not fly back, shattered, turned into pieces, flew high into the air, and turned into a white cloud.
The sun rises and sets, a month passes quietly, and it can only be said that on some occasions, time is really worthless.
At an inn, Kang Ziqing sat on the ground, recovering and waiting for the result. A small man slammed the door very rhythmically, and his dark eyes opened.
One hundred people gathered and hung the token on their waists, eighty-five with purple tokens and fifteen with golden tokens. Thinking about it, this is also the truth, cultivation requires a lot of resources, and the children of big families are naturally not lacking, and the proportion of talents who become talents is much higher than that of casual cultivation. Kang Ziqing's eyes were calm, waiting for the next election.
Deacon Tian, who was dressed in white golden yang, led everyone to a mountain peak, and a purple token appeared in his hand, only to see him place the token on a large stone in front of him, and a passage appeared, inside was a short-distance teleportation array, and he lost his mind for a moment, Kang Ziqing and others came to a valley and carried out the next competition, which was very cruel, but it must be experienced.
This is a secret realm surrounded by thirty green mountains, surrounded by a phantom array arranged by the cultivators, and a hundred disciples descend to various places on the mountain peak through a short-distance teleportation array.
In addition, the monks after the assessment will go to the deacon's hall to receive the corresponding token according to the corresponding grade score on the token. On the back of the token is a picture of the sunrise in the east, and everyone is relieved when they think of the name of the hall master.
The golden token represents the inner disciples, who have corresponding peaks for them to practice. These peaks are empty, and you have to send someone to take care of them. They also knew that this was the tenth temple that had just been built, and they were relieved to think that the assessment would be more difficult in the future, which was why everyone rushed to the place immediately after hearing the information.
The silver token represents the outer disciples, although there is no mountain peak for them to live in, but there is also a beautiful courtyard, which is well-designed, as for the Dan furnace, futon... You still have to bring your own.
The bronze token represents a registered disciple, who has only a small building and has a difficult life, so he needs to buy it himself. There are also people who feel that they can't become outer disciples and leave directly, and in their consciousness, it is better for a registered disciple to be a casual cultivator, and if it is a casual cultivator, at least they can be freer.
The tenth hall is slowly on the right track, and the tenth hall is the main hall.
Linxi and Nangong Min discussed how to earn the source crystal, for the tenth hall of the sect, the daily expenses required the source crystal was huge. There are 500 inner disciples, 10,000 outer disciples, and nearly 90,000 registered disciples, and the matter of Yuan Jing must be put on the agenda.
At this time, what was more important was who managed these disciples, and it was impossible to rely on the forces of the other nine halls all the time. The tenth hall has two refining elders, four deacons of the gods, three refining weapons, four alchemists, and two formations to worship. It's still very difficult to manage with these few people.
The three-foot white sword flew out, and the result of the discussion between the two was recorded on it.
Elder Ling sat at the inner gate, Elder Nobu sat at the outer gate, and Deacon Jia, Deacon Liu, and Deacon Fu managed the registered disciples. Nine disciples were selected from the outer gate and registered disciples to form the Refining Pavilion, the Alchemy Pavilion, and the Formation Pavilion. Deacon Ling Tian selected 50 inner disciples, 500 outer disciples, and 4,000 famous disciples to go to the source crystal mine to mine the source crystal. (In addition, the nine halls sent nine small source crystal mines)
Nangong Min went to the secret realm to wait for the results, and Linxi sat in the main hall.
