After half a month like this, he practiced the "Innate Exercises" at night, and he didn't know how many times he had practiced, and suddenly felt that when he was running his breath, a trace of breath was wandering in his body according to his own route.

He hurriedly condensed his mind, it was a trace of breath that did run according to his own route, he was overjoyed, carefully controlled this breath while running over and over again, and suddenly felt that the dantian had an ambiguous hot feeling, the whole body was extremely comfortable, and his brain was also clear, and he felt that the air in the room was wandering with the same breath as his body.

The next day, Jiang Chen had just finished lifting the water, and Huang Yue said, "Jiang Chen, you are going to have a guest today, you go and make a pot of tea." Jiang Chen agreed and went to make tea, after making tea, he came to Huang Yue's room with a plate, there was a person sitting in the room besides Huang Yue, who looked to be in his fifties, radiant, and immortal, wearing a silver-white robe.

"This is Elder Hu of the Sword Pavilion Alchemy Hall. Huang Yue introduced.

Jiang Chen hurriedly bowed and said, "Hello Elder Hu, my name is Jiang Chen." ”

Elder Hu looked at Jiang Chen a lot, his hair was neat, his body was strong, his waist was straight, especially the pair of eyes were dark and deep, and said, "This is the child that Gao Yan and the others rescued, not bad, not bad." ”

Elder Hu picked up the tea and sniffed it, took a sip and said, "Good tea." ”

"Hey, I said Old Man Huang, why don't you let Jiang Chen also take the exam of the Sword Pavilion, do you want to accept him as your disciple," Elder Hu said.

"How can I have the ability to accept disciples, I also want to register him for this year's exam, let him try, this kid is very diligent, and it's pitiful, if he can be admitted to the Sword Pavilion, he can also have a future." Huang Yue said.

"I heard that this year's person in charge of recruiting disciples is the old witch Feng Lan of Ziyun Hall, I don't know what tricky bad ideas she has to torture people. Elder Hu said.

"Whether he can pass the exam or not depends on his creation. ”

When it was time to eat in the evening, Huang Yue said to Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, next month is the time for the annual registration of the Sword Pavilion, this year I will give you the name of the newspaper, in the near future, you must strengthen your training, strive to be able to pass the exam, become a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, and have a future in the future, you can take this bottle of strong muscles and bones." As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"Thank you, Elder Huang, I will work hard. Jiang Chen said firmly.

At night, he practiced the "Innate Exercises" all night, and recently that trace of True Yuan seemed to have become a lot thicker, and the operation was also very smooth, and the operation speed became much faster, which may also have something to do with the recent continuous consumption of the "Strong Bone Strengthening Pill".

During the day, when he had free time, he practiced those few swordsmanship moves, and under the guidance of Huang Yue, he practiced very skillfully.

In the blink of an eye, the time for registration came, and on the day of registration, Huang Yue took Jiang Chen to the registration office in the front yard of the Sword Pavilion early, and when they arrived, there were already many people waiting.

At this time, a young woman in her twenties came over and stood on the steps of the door, her long hair fluttering, holding a long sword, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone who came to register lined up at the entrance of the passage, and registered in order, only need to say their names and ages when registering, and you can go back after registering, and gather in the square at the door on the morning of the third day of the eighth month to take the exam, and now the registration begins." ”

At this time, the door of the registration office opened, there are dozens of channels in the registration office, each channel has two people in charge, the registration is also very simple, say your name, age can be, and then you will be given a jade card, even if the registration is completed, the registration age is fifteen years old, which is also the only hard condition.

Today is the sixteenth day of July, and there are only sixteen days to the third day of the eighth month, to improve his quality in all aspects during this time, he must pass the exam and become a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, only by learning the skills can he live, and only then can he have a chance to find his mother, Jiang Chen secretly decided.

In the next few days, Huang Yue didn't let Jiang Chen give medicine and water, Jiang Chen was exercising in addition to eating, he carried two buckets of water and ran back and forth between the medicine garden and the back mountain, sweat soaked his clothes, he took off his shirt, whether it was the scorching sun or the heavy rain, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Sitting on the bed, Jiang Chen counted the day of the exam, today is already the thirtieth day of July, and it will be the day to take the exam in two days, he is both excited and a little nervous.

Retracted his mind and began to practice the "Innate Exercises", now that True Yuan was as thick as chopsticks, he began to follow the route, feeling that it was running faster and faster, and every cell in his body opened his pores as if waiting for Gan Lin.

All the true elements in the room gathered towards his body, and his body seemed to be contained with the outside world, forming a whole, and the true yuan became thicker and thicker, and he faintly felt his whole body expand.

Suddenly, the whole body emitted an invisible fluctuation, as if something had broken, and then all the true elements condensed at the dantian, forming an egg-sized air mass, suspended in the dantian's sea of qi.

The "Innate Exercises" have reached the first level and the first level.

Jiang Chen's aura seemed to have completely changed into a person, giving people a deep and calm feeling.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and felt it, he found that even with his eyes closed, everything in the room was very clear, clearer than what his eyes could see, and he was very surprised that the air movement could be seen.

It's time for the exam, on this day, Jiang Chen arrived at the square early, the huge square was crowded, most of the children were accompanied by their families, there were one, two, and a few or even dozens, and there were also people like Jiang Chen who were not accompanied.

In the center of the square is a tall statue of a mighty man, holding a long sword in his right hand, pointing forward, and holding a sword in his left hand, as if he was fighting an enemy.

There were several people sitting on the high platform directly south of the square, and in the middle sat a middle-aged beautiful woman with her hair coiled on the top of her head, wearing a red gown.

She nodded to a young woman standing next to her, and the woman understood, walked to the front of the stage, cleared her throat, and said loudly, "Everyone be quiet, there is Elder Feng of Ziyun Hall announcing the conditions for the exam below." After saying that, he stood aside.

Oh, she is the hall master of Ziyun Hall who is responsible for recruiting new disciples this year, Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Elder Feng Lan walked to the front of the stage lightly, giving people the feeling that he was walking fast and walking very slowly, and there was a feeling of fluctuation.

She said, "Today's exam is easy, do you see the mountain," she said, pointing with her finger. Her voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"That's called Xishan, no matter what method you use, as long as you reach the top of Xishan within two hours, you will pass the exam. ”

"If you abstain or encounter danger during the exam, please crush the jade plate in your hand as soon as possible, someone will take you out, and everyone will remember it," Elder Feng Lan said.

West Mountain, located in the west of the Sword Pavilion, is a stone mountain, very steep, the mountain is full of strange stones, there is no way to go, you can only lie on your stomach to go up.

"Is this easy?"

"That's too tricky, isn't it? ”

"Give it up, how can this be passed. ”

“......”

The crowd seemed to have exploded, and there were people who said anything.

"Start the timer. At this time, when they heard Elder Feng say four words, everyone reacted and began to run towards the West Mountain like a swarm.

It was a flat road from the square to the foot of the West Mountain, and all the people who took the exam sped up and ran towards the foot of the West Mountain, Jiang Chen was also in the crowd, he just followed the crowd, he knew that the most difficult thing was to go up the mountain, and he had to save his energy at the critical moment.

The front of the crowd had already begun to go up the mountain, and Jiang Chen had also arrived at the foot of the West Mountain, he looked up at the peak that reached into the sky, a ruthless color flashed in his dark eyes, and he began to go up the mountain.

Taking the steps of going up the mountain, he realized that this mountain is not so easy to go up, not to mention the height of the West Mountain, just looking at this mountain, the strange stones are densely exposed like knives, and the thorns on the mountain are covered with them.

Half an hour after the exam time, Jiang Chen climbed to a quarter of the height, there were hundreds of people in front of him, the fastest people climbed to a third of the height, and behind him there were countless people who had already crushed the jade plate in their hands and chose to give up, and some people were still struggling.

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and began to speed up, the clothes on his body had been torn by thorns, leaving eye-catching scars on his solid muscles, his right shoe was also pierced by sharp stones, leaving a deep scar on the sole of his foot, and a large amount of blood flowed out.

Liu Yue, who was climbing upwards, suddenly saw someone catching up with her, she squinted and saw a young man with tattered clothes and covered in blood gritting his teeth and climbing up, although he was covered with scars, but he was agile, like an ape, and he was climbing very fast, this person was Jiang Chen.

Liu Yue, short hair, wearing a black suit, she is light, very flexible, until now her clothes have no traces of scratches, she saw someone overtaking her, she snorted coldly, looked at the direction, jumped up and pointed on the stone on the left, and her body rushed upward, without a little mud and water.

You must know that Liu Yue is the granddaughter of Liu Mu, the lord of Tongcheng, his father Liu Jie, as his name suggests, is the best of the people, Liu Yue has practiced the Liu family exercises since he was a child, and his talent is extremely high, coupled with his informal, competitive character, he is famous in Tongcheng, and he is nicknamed "Little Liu Ye".

Long story short, looking at the current exam, an hour has passed, and it is less than two or three out of ten who can hold on until now, Jiang Chen has climbed up to half of it, the sweat of the bean is flowing down his cheeks, he lifted the tattered placket and wiped the sweat on his face, looked up at the peak, the higher he went, the steeper the mountain became.

He removed the torn placket and wrapped it around his hands, and he began to climb up with his hands and feet.

Jiang Chen's climbing speed was constantly slowing down, and his physical strength was also seriously depleted, but there was still a small half distance from the top of the mountain, and this distance was the most difficult.

Jiang Chen climbed up for another distance, his physical strength was exhausted, but he still moved forward slowly with this tenacious will, suddenly his feet slipped, his body fell down, he quickly hugged a raised stone tightly with both hands, he climbed onto the raised stone with all his strength, he no longer had any strength.

"Did you fail like that?" he lay down on the stone, stretched out his hand to look at the jade plaque in his hand, and pinched it with what little strength he had.
