With the stable source of spirit stones obtained from the Immortal City Small Chamber of Commerce every month, Ye Chen gradually rarely did chores in the Tianxu Immortal Sect, and spent more time focusing on the cultivation of primordial gods and spells, almost frantically absorbing all kinds of immortal cultivation knowledge.

Without the interference of chores, there was enough elixir, and after learning the exercises of the Lotus Codex, Ye Chen's cultivation improved faster.

In the third month after coming to the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, Ye Chen cultivated to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period and entered the late stage of the Qi Refining Period. The late stage of breakthrough is a small hurdle, among the one or two hundred thousand disciples of the third generation of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, there are only tens of thousands in the late stage of qi refining.

And in the seventh month, Ye Chen made another breakthrough and became an eighth-layer cultivator in the Qi Refining Period.

Almost every few months, he was able to break through the first level of Qi refining stage cultivation, which was also among the top cultivators in the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, and only a very few monks were able to cultivate so quickly.

The cultivation in the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate is easy to ignore the time, autumn goes to winter, and gradually it is the end of the year.

"It's been a year, time flies so fast!"

In the early morning of this day, Ye Chen wore a white robe of the three generations of disciples of Tianxumen, with a high crown and tied his hair, walked out of the attic courtyard, stood on the small peak, looked at the lively Knocking Immortal Hall Square in the distance, and sighed slightly.

He was seventeen years old.

At the age of fifteen, he left the Academy at the northern foot of the Martial Kingdom to escort Princess Wu to perform a mysterious and unpredictable mission, at the age of sixteen, he practiced hard in Tianwu Immortal City to compete for the Lingquan House, and at the age of seventeen, he entered the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate to stay away from all the hustle and bustle, and practiced for a whole year.

All this seems like a dream.

Ye Chen bit his lip slightly, a little stinging.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, all this could not be more real.

In this year in the Tianxu Immortal Gate, he has grown a lot taller, and his face has completely faded from the childishness of a young man, and it is more of the calmness and elegance of a young monk. In a big sect of Yunzhou Immortal Sect like Tianxu Immortal Gate, even if it is a very ordinary monk, he can have a little more bearing as a disciple of the Immortal Family.

This year is very important for him.

From a young man who was ignorant of cultivating immortals, he accidentally stepped on the immortal fate, and now he has mastered a lot of the foundation of cultivating immortals. Although he had just started for the vast path of cultivating immortals, this step was very steady.

Behind him, the thirty acres of spiritual fields outside the attic courtyard, the golden spirit valley is growing well, swaying with the gust of breeze, exuding a faint refreshing spiritual fragrance. The Spirit Valley is ripe and ready to be harvested.

The Tianxu Immortal Sect chooses to take a small test at the end of the year every year, of course, it is also to take into account the harvest of the Lingtian Linggu that is convenient for the disciples of the sect.

Punishment and reward can be carried out only after the spiritual field is harvested.

A Qi refining stage disciple has at least ten acres of spiritual land in his hands, and only three acres will be confiscated and rewarded for each small test. The disciples can arrange their own planting, three acres of which are planted with spiritual valleys that are harvested once a year, and the rest can be planted with spiritual grass that is harvested every two years and three years.

For a "little rich" disciple like Ye Chen, who had thirty acres of spiritual fields as soon as he got started, unless he failed the exam for ten consecutive years, he could confiscate all the spiritual fields. It is almost impossible for such a thing to happen, and if it does, it can only mean that it is not suitable for cultivation.

Of course, for those disciples of the three generations with strong families, this Lingtian income does not care.

"Senior Brother Ye, it's time to go, it's time for the exam!"

Wei Ming rode a fierce owl and shouted from afar.

Ye Chen turned his head to see that Wei Ming, Jiang Zhi, Zhu Haomin and a group of monks were ready.

In this small peak, Ye Chen, Wei Ming, Zhu Haomin, Jiang Zhi and other ten monks from Xiancheng are all neighbors, and they can visit the door by walking a few more steps. However, they are usually busy cultivating separately and rarely come and go. It's only when something big happens, we get together.

Ye Chen rode on the Spirit Crane, soared into the air, and joined them.

"The breathing technique is getting more and more sophisticated!"

Zhu Haomin glanced at Ye Chen deeply, his brows condensed slightly. He was now unable to detect the depth of Ye Chen's cultivation, a year ago Ye Chen was a fifth-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Period, but he knew that Ye Chen had cultivated the Breath Gathering Technique, and he could easily control the breath released, and it was difficult to detect the true cultivation.

"This year is the first time we have participated in the Xianmen small exam, and next year it depends on whether we will live a hard life or have more spiritual fields. Everyone's cultivation strength seems to have improved a lot compared to a year ago. ”

Ye Chen smiled lightly and glanced at the high-spirited brothers and sisters of the same sect.

At least, almost all of them have improved their cultivation by one level, from the original five layers of the Qi Refining Period to the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period.

Zhu Haomin has improved the fastest, and he is already at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Period.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and if I rank high in the small exam, my reputation in the division can also be greatly boosted! Wait, let you see my strength. ”

Wei Ming roared excitedly, he had already reached the consummation of the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and he was not far from the late stage of Qi Refining.

"We monks are all killed from among the monks of the Ten Thousand Chong Towers in the Immortal City, and this Xianmen test is a good trick. Senior Brother Ye Chen's cultivation is unpredictable, and the little sister is almost unable to see through it now, so she should be promoted more, and she wants to be able to make a splash in the small exam. ”

Jiang Zhi said with a smile.

Ye Chen chuckled.

"Let's go!"

A small group of Qi Refining Stage cultivators rode flying birds and flew towards the Knocking Immortal Palace. Soon arrived at the Knocking Immortal Palace, everyone slowed down, swooped down, and landed on the square with a large crowd.

There are many disciples of the three generations of Xianmen, and they participated in the Xianmen small examination in batches, and this small examination lasted for more than ten days before it was all over.

Some of the lowest-level disciples with the lowest strength have already completed the assessment.

Now it is mainly monks above the sixth level in the Qi refining period, and they have begun to participate in the small examination in batches. As the level of cultivation increased, the number of disciples participating in the assessment gradually decreased.

The second generation of true disciples of the Xianmen also had an assessment. However, it is not carried out in this Knock Immortal Temple

Knock on the fairy hall square.

The huge square is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of third-generation disciples of the Immortal Sect at the same time.

At this moment, there are many third-generation disciples in the square, waiting in line to take the small test for themselves, and watching the assessment of other fellow disciples.

The square is cut into thousands of small squares, which can be carried out by thousands of monks at the same time, and the speed is actually very fast, and tens of thousands of disciples can complete the assessment in one day.

Ye Chen and the others came to one of the small squares and waited in line to participate in the assessment.

The Xianmen assessment deals with a puppet of the agency, and extremely detailed assessment rules are set up for punishment and reward.

"The strength of these monks is good, they are all above the sixth level of the Qi refining period, and they are placed in the Heavenly Mist Immortal Yuan City, and they are also Lu master-level monks. Coupled with all kinds of high-level spiritual weapons, magic robes, etc., the strength is definitely strong enough. ”

Ye Chen looked at the surrounding crowd of disciples and said secretly in his heart.

Many disciples are also talking about it.

"The Xianmen assessment is divided into a one-year small examination, a three-year major examination, and a ten-year joint examination. ”

"The one-year small test of the Xianmen is compared to the ranking of the monks of the same class in the Xianmen. A puppet of the same tier must be defeated to assess strength. A sixth-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Period challenged a second-order high-grade puppet. The seventh-level cultivators in the Qi refining period are challenged by third-order low-level puppets. The higher the cultivation, the higher the level of the puppet that needs to be challenged. There are more detailed rules to determine how quickly a monk's cultivation can be improved. ”

"The three-year big examination of the Immortal Gate is the total ranking of the disciples of the Qi refining period of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate and the disciples of the True Transmission of the Foundation Building, regardless of the level of cultivation. It will determine the top ten true monks in the Xianmen Qi refining period and the top ten true inheritance monks in the foundation building period. Only the top ten monks are eligible to take the Nine Immortal Sect Joint Entrance Examination. ”

"In the ten-year joint examination of the nine immortal gates of Yunzhou, the major immortal gates will send the most elite team to participate in the joint examination, representing each immortal gate and competing for the ranking of the immortal gate. The reason why Tianxu Immortal Gate ranks first among the nine immortal gates in Yunzhou is precisely because in the joint examination of the nine immortal gates once every ten years, they are all in the top three, and they often win championships. ”

Ye Chen was naturally very clear about the rules of these small and big exams.

"If this little king can become one of the top ten disciples of the Tianxu Immortal Sect in the three-year examination, what a beautiful scenery! ”

A monk in front of him seemed to be a prince from a secular empire, and said with a few envy.

"Come on, the ten disciples of the Xianmen, that is something that is out of reach! Among the 120,000 disciples of our Tianxu Immortal Sect, how many of them are the heirs of the elders of the Xianmen? How many monks with strong families? And the top ten in the Qi refining period are easy to say, and you can also try your luck. The top ten monks in the foundation building period, that is the real strength, dazzling. ”

A slightly chubby rich monk next to him turned around and laughed.

"Yes, it's good to pass this small test. Those puppets are not so easy to deal with, they are all made of spiritual raw materials, and they can't be killed by fighting. One of them accidentally hit him, and he died of pain. ”

"In the last assessment, I was bitten by a machine wolf, and I was so damn ruthless that I almost bit off a piece of young master's meat, and I almost died of pain. It took a few months for the young master to recover! This time, I deliberately wore a full set of spirit armor to see what it could do to me! Ha!"

Many monks around were gossiping that some monks had taken small exams before, and had suffered losses in the puppets of the organs, and they still have palpitations.

Ye Chen was a little speechless and shook his head as he listened to these noisy discussions.

"It's just a few scars. I'm afraid of pain when I get a little injury, it's really a rice bucket!"

Wei Ming sneered contemptuously.

Among the 120,000 disciples in the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, there are naturally extremely outstanding people who have experienced a hundred battles. But there are also many monks who are uneven, have poor qualifications for cultivating immortals, and can't endure hardships, and there are many such monks. Many monks grew up in the courtyard of the palace, clothed and fed, received the favor of the elders, and fought cocks and horses to have fun on weekdays, relying on blood relatives in the fairy gate, and brought them directly into the fairy gate, without any selection, and even lack of experience in fighting. They can't be expected to have much resistance in the face of cold puppets.
