124 The pressure of the quiz!
Ye Chen spent a lot of time, energy, and spirit stones on studying the beginner-level magic seals and runes. Tianxu Immortal Gate is a very suitable place for cultivating immortals, with a strong cultivation atmosphere, and there are many masters and uncles with profound magic attainments to teach knowledge.
Xianmen lectures come and go freely, and time can be used at will. This allowed Ye Chen to calm down and understand the most basic spell principles.
Ye Chen cultivated in the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, and as time passed, he gradually learned more about the situation of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate.
There are more than 11,200 peaks in the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate.
There are fifty-seven main peaks, which are the heads of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate and the places where the elders live.
There are 1,200 secondary peaks, and the master of each peak is a disciple of the second generation of Xianmen, a monk in the foundation building period. Their status is second only to the Immortal Sect Elders.
There are more than 10,000 small peaks, and they are all inhabited by three generations of disciples of Xianmen. Based on the fact that there are one or twenty Qi refining stage cultivators in each small peak, there are one or two hundred thousand people. In addition, there are actually mortals and martial artists in the Xianmen, all of whom are the descendants of the disciples of the Xianmen, who have lived in the Xianmen since birth, and generally live in Xiaofeng.
The highest in the immortal gate is the main peak, Tianxu Peak.
The Tianxu Hall on the top of Tianxu Peak is the place where the head of the sect and the elders of Jindan deliberate, and it is also the place where the Xianmen holds important activities.
In addition, there is also an extremely special and mysterious place - Heavenly Void Spirit Mansion. This is actually a suspended island, flying above the main peak of the Heavenly Void, which is the retreat and retreat place of the ancestors of the Immortal Gate.
This is the place where the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate truly has supreme authority.
When the head of the sect and the elders encounter undecided matters, they often need to consult the ancestors.
The ancestor may not be out of the pass for decades or hundreds of years, but any word of the ancestor is the supreme decision, which determines the future and fate of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate.
It is rumored that only the most outstanding disciples of the second generation of the Immortal Sect and above can be fortunate enough to be summoned to enter the Heavenly Void Spirit Mansion to get a glimpse of the true face of the island.
Ye Chen had seen this flying island from afar when he came to the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate. He had always been curious about what the Heavenly Void Spirit Mansion on this island was for. Because he has an immortal island made of ancient painting scrolls, in the sea of consciousness of the Mud Pill Palace.
His Immortal Mansion Island, is it the same Immortal Island as the Heavenly Void Spirit Mansion?
This astonishing thought gave him the urge to fly to the Void Island to see the truth. However, he was only a sixth-level minor cultivator in the Qi refining period, and he was not qualified to get close to the Heavenly Void Spirit Mansion at all, let alone go up.
Ye Chen didn't have time to think about it at the moment.
He is now under pressure.
Tianxu Immortal Gate's annual small test!
Every third-generation disciple of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect is facing the strong pressure of a one-year small exam. For immortal cultivators, there is no time for cultivation, once immersed in cultivation, ten days and half a month is a blink of an eye. With a few more blinks, I'm afraid the year will come soon.
The annual test is about combat effectiveness.
All the third-generation disciples of the Immortal Sect, regardless of their cultivation, need to challenge a puppet with the strength of the Qi Refining Period. Under the attack of the puppet, the length of support is the assessment standard.
"After passing the small test, I will be able to continue to cultivate steadily in Xianmen next year. Failing to pass the small test and confiscating the Ling Tian was a very painful loss for the Qi Refining Period cultivators. ”
Ye Chen felt pressure in his heart, and after listening to the teaching of the day, he came out of the Knocking Immortal Palace.
The large square in front of the temple is paved with hard rocks.
On the square, from time to time, there were loud shouts, strong winds hunting, and spell explosions, and there were many disciples of the three generations of Xianmen who were fighting each other.
In addition to cultivating, the three generations of disciples of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect also have a preference for competing their strength here, and they will not hurt their lives until the point is reached.
Every time there is a high-level fierce battle in the center of the square, it will attract many onlookers from the same disciples, and all the teachers and brothers will shout and cheer loudly around.
Ye Chen had to pass by this square every day, and occasionally take a look at the fighting methods of other fellow cultivators.
On this day, Ye Chen passed by the square and saw Wei Ming fighting with other monks.
Wei Ming was in the square in front of the Knocking Immortal Palace, and a third-generation disciple of the Immortal Sect "sparred" for a while, defeated, sullenly accepted the spirit axe, sweating profusely, only to find that Ye Chen was nearby.
"Senior Brother Ye, do you want to go up and fight with them?! There are really quite a lot of masters in the Tianxu Gate, I think it was difficult for me to meet opponents in Tianwu Immortal Yuan City and Qingshan Lake at the beginning, but I am only a medium strength here, and there are many people who can fight with me. Your strength should be able to enter the top rank, and you can defeat many of your peers!"
Wei Ming Dynasty Ye Chen raised his voice.
The young man who was fighting with Wei Ming just now, as well as the surrounding monks, all looked over one after another. It seemed to be quite provocative, wanting Ye Chen to challenge him.
"I'm only in the middle stage of Qi refining, isn't it just like you, I'm not much stronger. ”
Ye Chen was indifferent, shook his head and said, "And it's too time-consuming to fight for more than half an hour." However, the combat skill I just used seems to be different from the previous Whirlwind Axe, what kind of axe skill is it?"
"This is my newly cultivated earth-based high-level axe technique "Xuanhuang Axe", which is considered good among the earth-based axe skills, it cost me nearly a thousand spirit stones to buy, I have just started refining, and I don't have much power yet! Senior Brother Ye, what have you been busy with lately? I have rarely seen you during this time!"
Wei Ming laughed.
In the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, listening to the lectures of the uncles and uncles in the Knocking Immortal Palace, there is no need to spend spirit stones. However, to buy various immortal cultivation techniques and spell secrets, it still costs money.
"I'm working on spells!"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"The strongest thing in the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect is all kinds of combat skills and exercises, why don't you cultivate a more advanced combat skill?!"
Wei Ming said a little strangely.
"Take your time, sooner or later spells and combat skills will have to be cultivated. It's the same with me learning spells first. ”
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"By the way, who are they?"
Ye Chen looked at the monks who were doing it with Wei Ming just now.
It was a small group of monks, quite elite, dressed in splendid clothes and with a bit of pride in their expressions, and they were often seen in the square taking on challenges from other monks.
"Most of the royal monks from the Wanchang Empire in Yunzhou are princes and princesses of the empire, and they have some status in the secular empire, and they are the descendants of an elder family of this sect, and they all entered the Tianxu Immortal Gate directly, and there is no need to rush to the tower in the immortal city. I fought them a few times and it was very prickly. ”
Wei Ming said in a low voice.
Ye Chen's eyes were imperceptible, "There are quite a few cultivators of the three generations of the Immortal Sect like them in the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect! ”
"But no! There are a few people who can enter the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate who don't have a background. If you don't have a background, then you must be strong! I'm now starting to worry about the year-end exam, how to rank. In order to compete for a good ranking, I smashed nearly a thousand spirit stones in one go and bought a book of high-level axe skills, hoping that it would work then. ”
Wei Ming said with some worry.
"High-level axe skills need thousands?"
Ye Chen was silent for a moment.
When it came to spirit stones, Ye Chen was even more worried than Wei Ming.
Between the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate and the Heavenly Mist Immortal Yuan City, a one-way flight takes a month, and there are a total of two cargo flight ships to transport all kinds of materials back and forth. If a low-level disciple wants to send letters and consignment items, they all rely on these two spaceships to deliver them.
The big and small families of Tianwu Immortal City can rely on the spaceship to send spirit stones and other belongings to their children in the Immortal Gate. The children of the Xianmen can also transport the letters and the spiritual objects in the Xianmen back.
After Ye Chen came to Xianmen, he didn't dare to sell spiritual herbs in the night market of Xianmen. Everyone knows that the monks who have just entered the Immortal Sect have just begun to cultivate their own dozens of acres of spiritual fields, and it is impossible to have any elixir on hand.
He was a new disciple, and he was selling a lot of elixirs here, which was asking for trouble.
Ye Chen planted a batch of spiritual herbs in the Immortal Mansion, worth five thousand spirit stones, wrapped them in spirit wood and packed them into a box, and transported them back to the Dawn Chamber of Commerce in Immortal City through this freight ship.
Zhu Dahao and the others sold the spirit herbs, exchanged them for spirit stones, and transported them to him. Zhu Dahao and the others didn't know about the situation of Xianmen, and they would think that this was the elixir he borrowed on credit from Xianmen, so naturally there would be no doubts.
Ye Chen planned to transport some elixirs in exchange for spirit stones every month, which could meet some of the spirit stones he needed for cultivation. This is already the safest and safest way to obtain spirit stones.
However, it takes about two months for the freight ship to come and go. If you count the time when Zhu Dahao and them sold the elixir, I'm afraid it will take even longer.
It is difficult to be thirsty near in the far water.
It takes a year for the thirty acres of spiritual fields planted by himself to grow into the spiritual valley.
Ye Chen was helpless, during this time, he consumed a lot of elixir in the sixth layer of the Qi refining period, plus researching spells and cultivating elixir. The daily expenses were more than dozens of spirit stones, and he was almost running out of spirit stones on hand.
"Senior Brother Ye, are you short of spirit stones?"
Wei Ming saw that Ye Chen was suddenly silent for a moment, and he vaguely guessed Ye Chen's difficulty, and was a little embarrassed, "I brought more than a thousand spirit stones when I came, and I spent nearly a thousand spirit stones to buy a secret book." I didn't have many spirit stones left on hand, so I had to wait for the family to send them. I still have a few hundred here, why don't you take it first?!"
"The cost in Xianmen is too great, you have to use it yourself. I'd better think of another way, doesn't Xianmen have all kinds of miscellaneous tasks! Guarding the medicine garden, raising spirit beasts, guarding the mountain gate, patrolling the mountain vigil, mining and digging wild elixirs, you can earn some spirit stones, and you can also use them on weekdays. ”
Ye Chen shook his head and said.
"Senior Brother Ye, do you want to rely on this to earn spirit stones to cultivate and participate in the annual small exam? Guarding the medicine garden for the senior uncles, they will give you dozens of spirit stones a month at most, and it is not enough to even plug your teeth! Unless you complete some difficult division tasks, search for enemy traces, and send them to assassinate enemy monks, you can get hundreds of spirit stones a month. ”
Wei Ming was surprised.
The nine immortal gates of Yunzhou control many secular countries, and the countries are very widely implicated in the immortal gates. Once a war breaks out in the secular realm, the Immortal Sect will often send its low-level disciples to intervene. However, this is a relatively low-level competition, and generally only the third generation of Xianmen disciples will make a move, and the second generation of true monks will rarely be dispatched.
"This kind of task, a year and a half, is too wasteful of time. If I receive a few more ordinary tasks, I can also have nearly a hundred spirit stones!"
Ye Chen shook his head and said.
