Chapter 1: Immortal Trench

Next Chapter

Tranquility Town is located in the territory of Cangyun Country in the Eastern Region of Great Xuanzhou, and the permanent population of this town is nearly 500,000, which is comparable to the average city population.

The reason why so many people live in Tranquility is because of its unique location. It is close to the sea of clouds and mist.

This cloud and mist forest sea is located between the Cangyun country and the Daze country, and the cloud and mist forest sea with a radius of millions of kilometers completely isolates the two countries. It is impossible for people in the world to cross the sea of clouds and mist forests. Because there are countless turbidity streams in the clouds, forests, forests, cliffs, mountains, rivers, and rivers, and there are countless fierce beasts, evil birds, and poisonous insects, and even countless vegetation in them can easily devour people's lives, and it can be said that it is difficult for people in the world to move an inch. Therefore, if you want to cross the sea of clouds and mist forests, the only one who can do it is the immortal cultivator who is respected by the people in the world!

Everyone in Cangyun Country knows that there are many immortal cultivation sects in the Cloud Mist Forest Sea! Every once in a while, people from the Immortal Cultivation Sect will come out from the Cloud Mist Forest Sea to recruit disciples. And Tranquility Town, as the first stop for the Immortal Gate to recruit disciples, makes countless worldly people in Cangyun who want to find immortals rush here every year. Therefore, although the name of Tranquility Town is quiet, it is actually lively and prosperous all year round.

It was noon, and the sun was shining.

In a small courtyard on East Street in Tranquility Town, more than 100 boys and girls about fourteen or fifteen years old stood crowded on the courtyard field.

Under the scorching sun, these men and women all sweated like rain, but there was no complaint. They had different expressions on their faces, and the eyes of each of them were mixed and varied. Excitement, anxiety, anticipation, perseverance, fear, restlessness。。。。。。

At this moment, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and these men and women all looked up.

A middle-aged fat man in a gray coat and gray hat hurriedly walked in, waving his hand and shouting, "Stand up, stand up." The Immortals are coming soon. This time, it was the famous Tianyue Immortal Sect that recruited disciples. ”

"Tianyue Sect, I heard that this is one of the ten great immortal sects in the Cloud and Mist Forest!" a young man said with an excited face.

"Yes, Tianyue Sect is one of the top ten immortal sects, and it ranks fifth. Now that's good. My brother was already invincible in my family when he was recruited into the Yuanshan Sect, if I can enter the Tianyue Sect, I don't think the people in my family will be biased towards my brother, and the position of the head of the family will be mine. ”

As soon as the young man finished speaking, one of the people next to him glanced at him with disdain, "After entering the immortal gate, who still cares about the status of the world." What a sight!"

"You, you despicable civilian, you dare to scold me?"

"Who do you say, you are lowly? Don't think that you are a noble child and you are very remarkable, in the eyes of the immortals, the people of the world are all ants. Once I enter the Immortal Gate, what if I am a commoner? No matter how big your family is, I will trample on it at will. ”

"Wait to die, you lowly civilian. ”

"Phew, wait and see!"

"Shut up all for me, the immortals are coming soon, once you are noisy and noisy once you are seen by the immortals, do you still want to test it?" the middle-aged fat man shouted, and the courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Even the two teenagers who were about to fight immediately settled down, and they didn't dare to make noise, so they had to look at each other angrily.

Among the more than 100 people, only a few have heard of the name of Tianyue Sect, and most have not heard of it. These people who had never heard of it also had a vague understanding of the Tianyue Sect in the noise just now. Everyone in the courtyard was now full of energy, waiting for the moment to decide their fate.

Tranquility Town, there are hundreds of yards like this. Each courtyard was crowded with more than a hundred young men and women, and the young men and women in these courtyards came from all over the Cangyun country, and they were all people who came to seek immortals.

Xianmen came to recruit disciples, and the first stop was Tranquility Town. And the way to recruit disciples in Tranquility Town is to start testing the spiritual root from the young men and women in such a courtyard. This is also an industry that has been formed in Tranquility Town for a long time.

Immortal seekers from all over the Cangyun country who come to Tranquility Town will find such a courtyard as soon as possible, and then pay the fee to live in such a courtyard, and then wait for the immortal gate to come and recruit disciples.

This kind of courtyard has a name called Xunxian Academy, once there is an immortal gate to recruit disciples, the head of the Xianxian Academy will get the news as soon as possible, and then notify the person in charge of each courtyard, so that they can gather the young men and women in the Xianxian Yuan they are responsible for, and wait for the immortals of the Xianmen to come to test.

The middle-aged fat man's name is Mo Dawei, and the courtyard he is in charge of is the No. 6 Immortal Seeking Courtyard, and when he came in before, he had already learned that the upper immortal of the Tianyue Sect was testing the spiritual root in the No. 5 Immortal Seeking Courtyard. This is naturally the No. 6 Immortal Seeking Courtyard he is responsible for. Although there were more than a hundred young men and women in the No. 5 Immortal Seeking Courtyard, it didn't take much time to test the spiritual root. More than 100 people can be tested in about an hour. Therefore, the immortals of the Tianyue Sect should be coming over soon.

Sure enough, a moment later. Two men and a woman, dressed in white robes and young men with golden silk swords embroidered on their chests, each stepped on a cyan giant sword seven meters long and three meters wide, and flew into the high platform of the courtyard at a low altitude. These three men and women are the immortals who Tianyue Sect came to recruit disciples this time, the two male immortals are named Gu Jianfeng, Yuan Shi, and the female immortal is named Liu Caiyun. The three immortals were led by Gu Jianfeng.

In front of everyone's eyes, the cyan giant sword under the feet of the three people instantly shrank, turning into a small sword of about three inches hanging above the heads of the three people.

The three of them stood on the high platform with their hands in their hands, their eyes indifferent and condescendingly glanced at everyone in the audience, and the faint dusty temperament on their bodies was mixed with a sense of pride.

"Immortals. ”

Mo Dawei hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and shouted, with a humble and awe-inspiring expression on his face.

Gu Jianfeng glanced at him lightly, and said indifferently, "Let's start." One by one, come up and test. ”

"Yes, Immortal. ”

Mo Dawei bowed back, and then waved his hand to the more than a hundred people in the field and shouted, "Start testing the spiritual root, starting from the first row, go to the high platform one by one to test, don't delay the time of Shangxian Jingui." ”

The first teenager in the first row was in good spirits, and the joy on his face was palpable. He stepped up to the platform with a slightly restrained demeanor. Facing the three immortals who were not angry and arrogant, he opened his mouth and stammered, "Xiao, Xiao Shan, see, I have seen three immortals." ”

The three immortals looked completely indifferent, and Gu Jianfeng took out the spirit ruler and said to Xiao Shan, "Hold the spirit ruler with both hands." ”

Xiao Shan hurriedly took the spirit ruler and held it tightly with both hands, his face was sweating, and his expression was extremely nervous.

Wading through mountains and rivers through several counties and states to Tranquility Town to find immortals, whether it is successful or not depends on this test. If you succeed, you will go away from the mortal cultivation of immortals, and if you fail, you will go home.

After three breaths, a faint yellow light flashed in the yellow area of the spirit measuring ruler, in which the spirit needle pointed to the fourth rank. There was a hint of red light in the red area, and the spirit needle pointed to a section. The cyan area glowed with a faint cyan light, and the spirit needle pointed to the third stage. The blue area glows with blue light, and the spirit needle points to the second rank.

Xiao Shan was stunned and looked at the spirit measuring ruler in his hand before he came back to his senses, and the spirit measuring ruler had already come out of his hand and flew into Gu Jianfeng's hand.

Yuan Shi said lightly, "The earth spirit root is forty percent, the fire spirit root is one percent, the wood spirit root is three layers, and the water spirit root is two percent." The result of the spiritual test is an inferior spiritual root. You, go down. ”

Immortal cultivators divide the spiritual root into tenth, and there are five spiritual root attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. If one of the five kinds of spiritual roots reaches sixty percent, it is called the cultivation spiritual root, which is the minimum standard for the Immortal Sect to recruit disciples. Those who reach seventy percent are yellow-level spiritual roots, eighty percent are Xuan-level spiritual roots, ninety percent are earth-level spiritual roots, and ten percent are heavenly spiritual roots.

Like the spiritual root of Xiaoshan, he has four spiritual root attributes, of which the earth spiritual root reaches forty percent. But the Sicheng spiritual root belongs to the inferior spiritual root, and to put it mildly, it is a waste spiritual root.

Even if Xiao Shan was recruited by the Immortal Sect, and then used his best forty percent earth spirit root attribute to cultivate the earth system exercises, even if he exhausted his longevity, it would be good for him to be able to cultivate the first level of Qi cultivation at the beginning of the first realm, and it was basically vain to want to go to the next level.

Xiao Shan lost his soul and got off the high platform, and everyone saw that there was a sense of sadness for the dead fox and the rabbit. I'm afraid that I will leave as depressed as Xiao Shan next.

In fact, they all knew that every time an immortal sect came to Tranquility Town to recruit disciples. Among the tens of thousands of immortal seekers, most of the lucky ones who were recruited into the immortal gate were only a few dozen. The rest of the immortal seekers left Tranquility in disgrace. Then countless young men and women came from the ends of the earth to Tranquility Town to seek immortals, like endless moths to the fire.

Gu Jianfeng was in charge of testing, Yuan Shi was in charge of asking for registered names, and Liu Caiyun was in charge of issuing tokens.

One by one, the teenagers went up from the high platform, and the lucky ones who didn't come down were the lucky ones, and those who came down were all lonely and left.

When more than 100 people tested to the last teenager, there were only a few four excited young men and women standing behind the three Gu Jianfeng on the high platform.

Of the more than 100 teenagers from various counties and prefectures of Cangyun Country who came to seek immortals in the No. 6 Immortal Seeking Academy, only four of them got their wish, and the others all left unexpectedly.

The four lucky ones were three men and one woman, three of whom were cultivating spiritual roots, and the girl was Xuan Linggen, and her spiritual root was eight percent of the water spirit root and two percent of the wood spirit root. Xuan Linggen can already be called a cultivation genius. You must know that the three immortals are only Huang Linggen, while Yuan Shi and Liu Caiyun are only cultivating Linggen. And the disciples who have reached the Xuanling Root will also be focused on cultivating in the Tianyue Sect.

Ning Chen was the last tester, and he walked towards the high platform. The wide gray clothes could not hide the thinness of his body, and his bloodless face was as pale as paper, only the eyes full of resoluteness were particularly shining.

However, after witnessing so many immortal seekers who had lost their souls and left gloomily, his heart was also floating and uneasy at the moment.

Perhaps for other immortal seekers, if they are not recruited into the immortal gate, the worst outcome will be to go home and live a secular life.

But for him, once he can't be recruited into the Immortal Gate, he will have nothing.

The test results came out quickly, and he stood on the high platform in a daze. Yuan Shi's mocking words kept echoing in his ears. "Haw, the attributes of the five elements are all twenty percent, and such a waste spiritual root is really unheard of. This time, it's a long insight. ”

Gu Jianfeng and the three of them had already stepped on the flying sword and headed towards the No. 7 Immortal Seeking Courtyard. The four recruited disciples were taken by Mo Dawei to the Ascension Immortal Garden, and together with the other recruited disciples of the Immortal Seeking Academy, they waited in the Ascension Immortal Garden for a few days before going to the Tianyue Sect to officially cultivate immortals.

Three hours later, the No. 6 Immortal Seeking Courtyard was empty, and only Ning Chen was still sitting on the high platform with a dejected expression.

Mo Dawei returned to the No. 6 Immortal Seeking Courtyard again, and when he saw the decadent young man on the high platform, there was no trace of pity in his eyes.

He has been in charge of the No. 6 Immortal Seeking Courtyard for seven years, and in these seven years, he has seen many lucky people who have soared into the sky, and he has also seen countless people like Ning Chen on the high platform. So, he's used to it.

Walking on the high platform, he shouted to Ning Chen, who was stunned, "Go home, don't have delusions about cultivating immortals anymore." ”

Ning Chen didn't move, as if he hadn't heard Mo Dawei's words at all.

Mo Dawei frowned, shook his head and walked off the high platform.

The night in the quiet town is bustling with activity.

More than a dozen streets are full of wine shops, tea houses, restaurants, theaters, and green houses。。。。。。

In a liquor shop called drunken homesickness, Ning Chen sat in a corner and kept drinking.

He was driven out by Mo Dawei, and after the immortal seekers tested the spiritual root, the immortal seeker would empty the courtyard and wait for the immortal seekers who came to Tranquility Town to move in in the future.

After a few glasses of spirits, Ning Chen was already drunk and hazy. The strong sense of loss made him feel like crying, but he insisted on keeping the tears in his eyes.

At this time, he hated!

If that didn't happen, maybe he was among the newlyweds at this time.

He was originally the eldest grandson of the Ning family, the head of the four major families in Tiannan City, Tiannan County, Cangyun Country, and his grandfather ten months ago, Ning Xiao, the head of the Ning family. He said a family affair. The woman is one of the four major families in Tiannan City, the daughter of the Mu family, and Mu Xueyan. The date of marriage was set for a month later.

Mu Xueyan is fourteen years old and has a glamorous appearance, and she is the best in Tiannan City, and a young man like Ning Chen is all admired.

Knowing that he was going to marry Mu Xueyan, Ning Chen was excited. For days on end, I was immersed in joy and triumph.

It's just that he never expected that just when he was fantasizing about the upcoming wedding date, he learned the news that Mu Xueyan quietly left Tiannan City and went to the famous Tranquility Town, a place for seeking immortals!

Also going with him were Wang Haotian of the Wang family, one of the four major families, and several other sons and daughters of Tiannan City.

The fiancΓ©e ran away from home before marriage, which not only made Ning Chen suddenly a laughing stock in Tiannan City, but the Ning family was also disgraced.

At that time, the head of the Mu family brought Mu Xueyan's parents to come to the door in person to apologize, but what was the use of this to Ning Chen.

His grandfather Ning Xiao immediately said to the head of the Mu family to withdraw from the marriage in order to save face, and it can be said that this matter seems to have passed.

It was only a month later that several of the gentlemen who had gone to Tranquility Town with Mu Xueyan to search for immortals came back, and they brought a piece of news that shocked Tiannan City.

This news is that Mu Xueyan was recruited by the Ling Xiao Sect, one of the top ten immortal sects, and Wang Hao, who was also in the same class, was also recruited by the Ling Xiao Sect. Mu Xueyan's spiritual root test is the earth spirit root, and Wang Hao's spirit root test is the yellow spirit root. It is said that on the day of testing the spiritual root, Mu Xueyan was immediately sent to the Immortal Gate by the immortals who came to recruit disciples from the Ling Xiao Sect.

The common people don't know about immortal cultivators, but the nobles have some understanding of immortal cultivators. They knew the importance of an Earth Spirit Root Immortal Cultivator to any Immortal Sect. That's definitely not comparable to the sum of the 11,000 disciples who cultivated the spiritual root. It is conceivable that Mu Xueyan's status in the Lingxiao Sect in the future will definitely be very high.

The so-called one person ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and then, the Mu family was in the limelight in Tiannan City for a while, and the Tiannan family sent gifts to the Mu family, and even the city lord personally went to the Mu family to congratulate and said that he wanted to apply to the emperor of Luo Xiaoguo for the Mu family to upgrade the noble rank.

The Mu family became the first of the four major families in Tiannan City, and the Wang family ranked second. And the Ning family, the head of the four major families, is naturally in the past tense.

Ning Chen was once again pushed to the forefront, and there were people talking about him everywhere in the city. Good deeds rated him as the first toad in Tiannan.

He basically didn't dare to go out, and as soon as he went out, he was pointed at by countless people behind his back.

After that, the Mu family and the Wang family launched a comprehensive attack on the Ning family and the Liu family at the end of the four major families.

The head of the Mu family said that the Ning family and the Liu family, two families that did not have immortals, could be compared with their two families.

No one in Tiannan City dared to refute the words of the Mu family master, and even the city lord acquiesced to the words of the Mu family master.

In just half a month, the Ning family and the Liu family were reduced to a small family in Tiannan City. As the head of the four major families in Tiannan City, there were naturally many small families at the beginning. Now it has been reduced to a small family, and those small families who used to be affiliated with the Ning family immediately began to fall into the ground.

Under the suppression of even flipping, in the end, the Ning family was close to the destruction of the family, and the head of the family, Ning Xiao, died of sudden illness, and the side family left, and everyone left. Ning Chen's uncles robbed the family property and left Tiannan City to live in another place. The huge Ning Chen, in the end, only Ning Chen and his parents were left.

Three months ago, Ning Chen resolutely left Tiannan City and embarked on the road of searching for immortals in Tranquility Town。。。。。。

"Wash so humiliating?" Ning Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, raised his glass and poured a glass of spirits.

He naturally knew that only by becoming an immortal cultivator could he annihilate all the gossip, wash away all the humiliation, and revive the Ning family.

Since he came to Tranquility Town from Tiannan City, he has always fantasized that he will step into the Immortal Gate and crush Mu Xueyan under him in the future to relieve him of the humiliation of escaping marriage. He fantasized about focusing on the Ning family and becoming the first family in Tiannan City. All the families that had oppressed the Ning family took revenge one by one.

However, the end result was unsatisfactory, so the illusions were annihilated. Before, he hated Mu Xueyan who ran away from marriage, hated the Mu family, hated those people in Tiannan who ridiculed him, and hated those small families. Now, he hates his uselessness the most. However, there is no place to turn over.

"Hehe, Linggen, Cultivating Immortals, There is wine today, and there is wine today, and there is drunk!" Ning Chen shouted, raised the wine jug and poured it.

The other people in the liquor store looked at the young man who was full of dejection, and they were silent. There is no need to guess that they also know that this is another immortal failure to seek. There are too many such immortal search failures, and they have long been surprised.
