Chapter 4: Outer Disciples, Remnants of Chaos
"Zhou Chongwu!" Qian Xiaofan's test was over, and immediately after that, another person walked in front of the huge Yingxian Stone.
This person, who was called Zhou Chongwuren, was dressed in green cloth and had a very strong figure.
Xiao Ning is also familiar with this person, Zhou Chongwu came to Wuxingmen three years ago, he is one year older than Xiao Ning, he is quite honest, and he is one of the few people who does not bully Xiao Ning much.
Airplanes......
At the moment when Zhou Chongwu took off his coat and leaned his body against the Yingxian Stone, the Yingxian Stone emitted a fluctuation again.
"Zhou Chongwu, the spirit body fits the second level, and it doesn't meet the criteria for becoming an outer disciple!" Soon, the deputy deacon next to Yingxian Stone also spoke again, but this week Chongwu was obviously not as lucky as Qian Xiaofan.
"Alas......"
Chief Zhou Chongwu let out a long sigh and walked out of the deacon's hall dejectedly.
The outer door of the Five Elements Gate will be issued once a month, and after each distribution of the Tempered Strength Pill, a test will be conducted, and there are not a few people like Zhou Chongwu who do not meet the standards.
"Next, Li Yong!"
"The spirit body fits the third level, and it meets the criteria for becoming an outer disciple!"
"Next, Liu Chengyu ......"
“......”
In less than an hour, nearly half of the people in the deacon's hall had already left, and those who left the deacon's hall were all those who did not meet the standard of becoming disciples of the outer gate.
"Next, Xiao Ning!"
The deputy deacon's voice sounded again, and many people looked at Xiao Ning in surprise when they heard the name.
Xiao Ning is still very famous in the outer gate of the entire Five Elements Gate, and a person who has stayed in the Five Elements Gate for ten years and has not passed the outer disciple test can't think of being famous.
Xiao Ning's expression was a little nervous, after he came to the Five Elements Gate, he stood in front of the Yingxian Stone more than once, but none of them passed the test. In the past two years, Xiao Ning has not approached the deacon's hall, let alone participated in this kind of test. Just when people thought that Xiao Ning had given up the opportunity to cultivate, they heard Xiao Ning's name again.
"Huh?"
The archdeacon of the outer gate, who had been half-squinting, couldn't help but open his eyes after hearing Xiao Ning's name, and seemed to be full of curiosity about Xiao Ning's arrival.
"Hoo ......"
Exhaling lightly, Xiao Ning tried to calm down his nervous mood, and at the same time kept cheering himself up, telling himself that there must be no problem.
Airplanes......
Xiao Ning pressed his back to the Yingxian Stone, and a familiar coolness instantly passed through every meridian in his body.
This is the wonderful use of the Ying Immortal Stone, the coolness that passed through Xiao Ning's meridians quickly disappeared, and at the same time, the Ying Immortal Stone emitted a fluctuation, and the brilliance kept flashing.
With this fluctuation, Xiao Ning's heart had already risen to his throat. Over the years, he has faced similar situations countless times, but the final result has made him feel like he has fallen into the abyss.
"Xiao Ning, the spirit body fits ......"
The deacon, who was in charge of announcing the results, suddenly paused, as if he had encountered something unexpected.
Xiao Ning's forehead was already overflowing with sweat, and the sudden suddenness of the deputy deacon made him feel suffocated instantly.
"The spirit body fits the fourth level, and it meets the conditions to become an outer disciple!"
The deacon still had a look of disbelief on his face when he announced the result.
"Hoo ......"
After hearing the result, Xiao Ning had a feeling of detachment, and the whole person was a little shaky. He had waited too long for this moment, and the humiliation that had been buried for many years was suddenly vented. Of course, there was another thing that also made Xiao Ning breathe a sigh of relief, that is, this Ying Immortal Stone did not notice the change in his qi sea.
For...... For...... For......
Xiao Ning's steps were not hurried, and he walked back to his original position step by step.
"Next, Makihara!"
“......”
Xiao Ning's test is over, but others have to continue, but all this has nothing to do with Xiao Ning anymore, and he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to others.
His spirit fit level is not outstanding among all the first sons who come to the test, which means that he will not attract attention among the outer disciples, at best, it can only make people think that he is accumulated, after all, Xiao Ning has not participated in this kind of test for two years, and many people think that he is deliberately hiding and wants to be ashamed.
"Next, Zhao Fei!"
Xiao Ning didn't care about other people's names, but when the name Zhao Fei was called, he raised his head. Just the day before, Zhao Fei had also shot at him because he had failed to ask him for the Tempering Pill, and now Xiao Ning also wanted to see how far this Zhao Fei could go.
Like the others, Zhao Fei strode to the side of the Yingxian Stone, took off his coat and directly attached his body to the Yingxian Stone.
Airplanes......
Soon, the huge Immortal Stone fluctuated again, and the brilliance on the Immortal Stone was much stronger than when Xiao Ning tested it.
"Zhao Fei, the spirit body fits the fifth level, and it meets the requirements for becoming an outer disciple!"
With the announcement of this deacon, Zhao Fei's face showed a hint of prideness, and his eyes looked towards Xiao Ning intentionally or unintentionally, as if with a hint of provocation.
Xiao Ning's face was calm, and his eyes remained clear all the time, and there was no change because of Zhao Fei's eyes.
Zhao Fei returned to his position, and in this deacon hall, he didn't have the courage to directly trouble Xiao Ning.
"Next, Yin Xiao......"
The test continued, and he walked to the Yingxian Stone for the test according to the name of the deputy deacon.
After about half an hour, the last tester finally walked off the test bench, and this time, a total of 18 people passed the test, which was less than a quarter of the number of people who participated in the test.
But for the outer door of the Five Elements Gate, it is already good, talents are expensive, and there are no more, too many people will waste a lot of resources.
"Okay, this test is over here, there are a total of eighteen people who can become real outer disciples, but you remember, there is nothing to be proud of being an outer disciple, this is only the beginning of your cultivation path. You go back and prepare first, and tomorrow morning, go to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to choose the spiritual recipe for your own cultivation!" The archdeacon, who had not spoken all this time, spoke at this time, but his opening made everyone's eyes light up.
After the test in the deacon's hall was completed, everyone withdrew, and Xiao Ning was no exception.
"Boy, I really didn't expect you to hide quite deeply. Just as Xiao Ning was about to go back to his broken firewood house, a voice came from behind him.
This voice Xiao Ning is no stranger, it is Zhao Fei who was looking for trouble yesterday.
Zhao Fei can be said to be very outstanding in the test of the Deacon Palace, his spirit body fit has reached the fifth level, one level higher than Xiao Ning, and ranks third among all the people who came to the test.
The first place is called Xing Yun, the spirit body fit reaches the sixth level, and it is more prominent in the sixth level, his age is two years older than Xiao Ning, and Zhao Fei came to the Five Elements Gate almost on the same day, this person's talent can be said to be very good.
The second place is named Zhou Zhong, half a year earlier than Xing Yun's coming to the Five Elements Gate, and his spiritual body fit barely reached level six, and his qualifications are second only to Xing Yun.
The third is Zhao Fei, from the eyes of those deacons, Xiao Ning knows that they still have a good opinion of Zhao Fei.
"We are all disciples of the outer sect now, and according to the regulations of the Five Elements Sect, the official disciples of the outer sect cannot fight among themselves!" Xiao Ning frowned slightly.
"You don't have to use the door rules to press me, I won't trouble you now, but all the newly promoted outer disciples will have a competition in a month, and I will beat you all over the ground at that time!" Zhao Fei was full of confidence, his talent was better than Xiao Ning, so he was also confident that he would win over Xiao Ning.
"Yes!" Xiao Ning didn't say much, in a month, he believed in his diligence more.
Although the two of them met this time, although they were full of gunpowder, they were both suppressed, and the reason was very simple, it was not beneficial for either of them to fight now.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Xiao Ning came to the scripture pavilion that the chief deacon said.
"I'm Xiao Ning who passed the test this time, and I'm here to choose to cultivate the spirit technique!" When Xiao Ning arrived, someone had already come in advance, but Xiao Ning didn't care, this place needs to be full of people to get in, and it's useless to come early.
After a long time, a voice said to Xiao Ning and the others: "Okay, everyone has arrived, you can enter the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, but you only have one hour, each person is limited to one cultivation spirit technique, and one other spirit formula, as for what you choose, it's up to you!"
The person who spoke was a deputy deacon in charge of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he had stayed in one place for a long time, and he had one of the biggest advantages, that is, he knew a lot of people, although Xiao Ning was not concerned, but he could name the people in the outer door of the Five Elements Gate.
"Understood!" the eighteen young men who had newly promoted to outer disciples all had a light in their eyes.
Crunch......
The door of the Scripture Pavilion opened, and the smell of paper and ink wafted out from inside.
As soon as the door opened, more than a dozen people couldn't wait to enter the Scripture Pavilion.
Xiao Ning chose a relatively quiet route and began to search in earnest.
"Aoki Spiritual Formula, the spiritual technique of the lower human rank, one of the five elements spiritual formula, the spiritual power cultivated is long, suitable for defense, and the offense is slightly insufficient......"
"Water Cloud Formula, the water attribute spirit recipe at the human level, suitable for women to cultivate ......"
Xiao Ning carefully looked at the rows of spiritual tips on the bookshelf, and did not choose easily, he wanted to find the most suitable one for himself.
Other people's thoughts are actually similar to Xiao Ning's, and they are all looking for them seriously.
However, what kind of spiritual trick is more suitable for them, these people actually don't have any standards in their hearts.
Xiao Ning is also looking aimlessly, most of these spiritual recipes are low-grade spiritual recipes, which belong to the beginner's spiritual recipes.
The spiritual recipes of cultivation are divided into heavenly level, earth level and human level, and each level is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower, and the lower grade of human rank is the worst spiritual formula. However, even if it is the worst spiritual technique, not everyone is qualified to cultivate.
"Hmm, what is this?" Xiao Ning quickly searched for the spiritual formula he needed, since that time there was a lot of information in his mind, Xiao Ning's memory has also become much stronger, and what he saw is almost unforgettable. After searching most of the bookshelves, Xiao Ning found a worn-out animal skin book with the words "Great Chaos Recipe" written on it.
"The Great Chaos Technique, it shouldn't be an ordinary Spiritual Technique, at least it is a human-level Spiritual Recipe that can have this name, but why is it here?" Xiao Ning opened the Great Chaos Recipe with some confusion.
At this glance, Xiao Ning was immediately attracted by the things recorded in it.
"Good thing, really good thing!" Xiao Ning was full of excitement and continued to flip back, but at the end, he began to frown, this Great Chaos Recipe did record a very profound cultivation technique, but it did not have most of the content behind, which means that this Great Chaos Recipe was actually a remnant technique.
"No matter, if there is no behind, I will create it myself!" Xiao Ning's eyes flashed with a hint of determination, and then he directly took the Great Chaos Recipe into his arms.
