Chapter 44: The Trial of the East Lake (1)

At the entrance of the foyer on the first floor of the Star Picking Building, when several senior brothers who were on duty here, all of whom were in the middle and late stages of atomization, learned that Zhao Yingluo had come to participate in the introductory trial of the outer disciples, they warmly beckoned him to enter the main gate and asked him to wait in a corner of the hall. After the senior brother in charge of the reception left, he looked for a corner and began to look around him.

The first impression of this hall was solemn and solemn, and he subconsciously found that there seemed to be something missing in it. As he pondered, the whispers of several young monks suddenly came to his ears. One of the tall cultivators who had reached the peak of the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Stage spoke: "This hall must be the 'Falling Star Palace' that the elders of the clan said, it is really magnificent and has a wide field of vision. According to legend, the patriarch of the Falling Star Valley was proficient in alchemy, as well as the way of building mathematics. Therefore, the famous industries in the valley have a common feature in the construction pattern of the hall on the first floor: that is, the floor height is particularly high and the area is particularly wide. However, no matter how high the floor height is, no matter how large the span, the first floor hall will not add pillars with the support of exquisite architectural skills. When people stop in such a tall and vast space, it is like being under the vast starry sky, and they suddenly feel empty, humble and insignificant. Hearing what the tall monk said, several companions beside him, like Zhao Yingluo, couldn't help but be amazed. Obviously, everyone had heard about it for the first time, which is why they reacted so strongly.

Seeing this, the tall young man straightened his chest and said proudly: "Hmph, it's not promising, what's so surprising about this." If any of you can be lucky enough to pass the trial and enter the Falling Star Valley, then then, then, ......" The tall young man didn't finish speaking, and he was blushing first.

Zhao Yingluo learned from other people's mouths that the tall young man who had just spoken, named "Yunhai", was a descendant of the Yun family, the largest vassal family in the Falling Star Valley, and had already cultivated to the peak of the tenth layer of the Qi refining period at a young age, and his alchemy skills were even more perfect in the refining of pills below the third grade.

Such an excellent character naturally became the focus of this East Lake trial, and at the same time, it also became hot in the middle of the Qi refining period. Maybe it's vanity, or maybe it's his personality, but now he has gathered a group of mediocre cultivators who are good at flattery and observance. However, Zhao Yingluo can see that a person whose face is hot and his heart beats from time to time even when he speaks must be simple and kind. Therefore, the cultivation conditions are as unique as the sea of clouds, although there is a little vanity and complacency at this time, but with the improvement of the Tao, as long as you have a little experience and a little training, you will definitely be able to become a great tool.

Time passed slowly in waiting, when the originally empty Hall of the Falling Star was about to become overcrowded. A thin middle-aged man dressed in a black power suit with bright eyes came to everyone surrounded by a group of more than a dozen people.

A fat monk on the left side of it took the lead in speaking: "The rules of the East Lake Trial must have been clear to everyone, so the poor monk won't go into too much detail. This East Lake trial can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the elite is exhausted, I hope you will do it yourself. As for the importance that this valley attaches to this trial, it can be seen from the fact that Senior Brother 'Yun Duo', the lord of Falling Star Valley, came here in person. Next, I would like to invite Yungu to speak. ”

After the applause like a tide gradually subsided, the lord of the Falling Star Valley, the lean, thin middle-aged man, immediately said aloud: "First of all, thank you for your trust and support in the valley, but I can't say that the lord of this valley has to emphasize again at the end, the second round of the East Lake trial, the outer places of the East Lake Secret Realm, is extremely dangerous and dangerous. Therefore, those who are not strong and those who are still hesitant and wait-and-see are also invited to withdraw as soon as possible. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and when one of the Falling Star Halls of Nuoda landed, it caused a commotion. Because of the words of the Cloud Valley Lord, there are obviously a lot of Qi Refining Stage Cultivators who have withdrawn from this trial.

After about half a pillar of incense, when he saw that the number of people who withdrew was no longer increasing, the fat monk opened his mouth and said to the few people around him: "According to the practice of the East Lake Society, I would like to ask a few Taoist friends to help Bengu make the first round of choices. ”

Zhao Yingluo was not worried about this first round of tests, because as far as he knew, the first round of consideration was the spiritual root qualification of the person participating in the trial, and the second was the depth of cultivation. The group of cultivators who came with the Cloud Valley Lord sat down in turn on a row of rattan drawer stools temporarily erected in this huge Falling Star Hall. During this time, a group of small cultivators in the Qi refining period who were worried but couldn't wait immediately consciously lined up in several queues in front of several powerful people.

Zhao Yingluo was crowded by the crowd, and stood passively but naturally in the second row on the left hand side near the middle, looking at the test results of the happy and worried families in front of him, he was quite embarrassed. The three major sects select disciples and disciples, and the practice of appointing people based on qualifications is understandable. But according to Zhao Yingluo's view, it is also easy to turn away those who are diligent and tenacious, but whose qualifications are mediocre. It is true that the quality of qualifications is a prerequisite for whether a monk can go further on the road of cultivating immortals, but the quality of perseverance, the calm mind in the face of trouble, the abundant cultivation resources, and the unavoidable opportunities are the keys to whether or not he can succeed in cultivation.

Looking at the anxious Qi Refining Stage cultivators around him, a sense of superiority arose. Even if he is as determined as he is, he can't help but pull a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth. Thinking of the high-grade fire and earth dual-attribute spiritual roots that he had obtained through the reversal of the earth secret technique, he couldn't help but sigh again at the amazing talent of the powerful man who had comprehended and deduced the same secret technique through that period of withered vines at that time.

"The three-attribute spiritual root of medium-grade wood, fire, and earth has been cultivated to the peak of the ninth layer of the Qi refining period, and it has passed the test. With the old man in charge of Zhao Yingluo's queue, the loud voice came out, and the other person who passed the test because he was too excited to stand on the spot immediately became a disciple of the Falling Star Valley Atomization Period who was standing next to the old man, led to the side, and registered it.

Mo Xiao passed the exaggerated reaction of the tester, after passing this round of tests, he was one step closer to his dream of having a sect to rely on. An immortal cultivator who has an immortal cultivation sect to rely on is by no means comparable to a casual cultivator. Therefore, although there are quite a lot of people who cultivate immortals and cultivate the Dao, what they see most is the scattered cultivation that hovers under the period of thought. It can be seen from this that it is not easy to cultivate in casual cultivation, and at the same time, it also brings out the three major sects in Donghu County, and the fact that they jointly select outer disciples at the East Lake Association once every five years is of great significance to all Qi refining period casual cultivators.

Zhao Yingluo passed the old man's test without accident with the dual attributes of fire and earth on the high-grade spiritual root, as well as the eighth-layer cultivation of the qi refining period. After registering Yu Wenying's identity here, he hurriedly went to the corner of the main hall and waited, for him, the second round of the secret outer encirclement was the most important place. So after calming down a little, he saw the stitches and crossed his knees to run the "Cold Flame Gong". As the fire attribute spiritual power in his Qi Sea Dantian slowly filled into the eight veins of the Qi Sutra around him under the guidance of the exercises, Zhao Yingluo felt that he was already in the best state at the moment.
