Hongxia Mountain.

It is a giant peak with a height of 1,000 feet.

At the foot of the mountain is a huge city, covering a radius of nearly 100 miles.

The flow of people in it is very large, and the people who go out of the city and enter the city are dense, like the flow of water.

And the reason why this place can develop into such a large scale is also due to the popularity attracted by the small yuan gate on the mountainside.

Hongxia Mountain is the place where the spiritual energy of the Tianyuan Empire is now the most concentrated in the Tianyuan Empire.

Now, the aura of heaven and earth is declining, and it is the end of the Dharma period, and all the cultivation resources are drastically reduced, becoming extremely scarce.

The vast majority of people can only rely on their own strength to cultivate, so a place with a strong aura can often make cultivators rush to it.

Hongxia Mountain is one such place.

According to rumors, Hongxia Mountain was still a miniature spiritual stone vein more than 1,000 years ago, when it did not appear in the end of the law era, and then it was mined and abandoned here, and no one cared about it.

Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, this abandoned mine has become a holy place for future generations to cultivate.

Halfway up the mountainside, there are quaint or ornate houses scattered and scattered, and occasionally a few figures fly from the distant horizon, turn to land under the mountain road, and then go up along the mountain road.

There was a formation ban on Hongxia Mountain, so these Xuantian Realm cultivators could only walk up the mountain, otherwise there would be a danger of falling.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the qi of Yunna rose from the mountain and the ground, and then slowly rose around the entire Hongxia Mountain.

Within the clouds, the houses on the mountainside loom in the background, giving people the illusion of a fairyland.

At the gate of the city, Li Chen and his party, who had been on the road for seven or eight days, finally came to the destination of this trip.

After paying the fee, the two of them took the two wolves to find a suitable inn on the street, preparing to stay for a while, and then go to Xiaoyuanmen on the mountainside after tomorrow's disciple recruitment day came.

After all, the rush along the way also makes people feel haggard, and they must have a good rest and relaxation.

However, along the way, pedestrians on both sides turned their eyes from time to time, and this feeling of being concerned by many people caused the two of them to feel uncomfortable.

Two of them and two wolves, the young man is handsome and handsome, the uncle is resolute and handsome, the big wolf is majestic, and the little wolf is beautiful and cute.

Such a combination stays together, and it does have a strange eye-catching effect.

In the end, Li Chen couldn't stand the feeling of being watched, and when he held the little wolf cub's body and moved, he found an inn at random to live in.

Under the gaze of the innkeeper's lady, Li Chen calmed down and entered the room.

Wu Qin came in after him, and said under the secret send-off of the proprietress Qiubo: "A guest room, next to the young man just now!"

"Huh?" the proprietress who was still scratching her head and posing before was suddenly stunned.

Seeing this, Wu Qin grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said handsomely: "That was my son just now!"

When the proprietress heard this, she suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she still opened the room to Wu Qin on the left side of Li Chen.

......

Night falls.

The city below Hongxia Mountain is brightly lit, but the Xiaoyuan Gate on the mountainside is dotted with lights.

In a two-story wooden house, three figures sat opposite each other.

One of them has a Chinese character face, with a calm complexion, and the other has a melon seed face, with narrow and tiny eyes, giving people a sinister and cunning feeling.

Both of them looked to be in their twenties, but in the last person, it was a teenager of thirteen or fourteen.

The young man's eyebrows were a little handsome, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he was wearing a blue and white bright robe, which looked a little open.

This young man was the disciple of the family who won the first place of the younger generation in Heiyuan City that day, and at this moment, it seems that the other party actually came to Xiaoyuanmen.

The man with the national character face glanced at the young man, and said in a flat but undoubted voice: "Tomorrow's tryout, you can't use the letter of recommendation given to you by the family!"

When the young man heard this, the look on his face was stunned, and he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Xiao Gu, why is this?"

He clearly knew that the selection requirements for this Xiao Yuan Sect were at least fifteen-year-old Life Spirit Realm Perfection cultivators.

He is fourteen and a half years old this year, just enough to meet the requirements for selection, but his cultivation is only the initial step into the consummation of the life spirit realm, if there is no recommendation letter to simplify the assessment process, he has a great chance of being brushed down.

When the melon-faced man heard this, he said in a mean tone: "You little devil knows something." A letter of recommendation can only increase your chances of entering the Xiao Yuan Sect and becoming the lowest level 6 disciple, but the price is that you have to break through the Xuantian Realm and become a five-pole disciple within three years, otherwise you will be expelled from the Xiao Yuan Gate!"

"What!?" As soon as the young man heard this, his face suddenly turned a little whiter.

Break through to the Xuantian Realm within three years! He may not be able to break through within ten years.

After seeing the young man's face, the melon-faced man snorted disdainfully, and continued to count: "But don't worry, in tomorrow's trials, your Uncle Xiao Gu is one of the judges, you just need to do your best, and he will help you." ”

"As long as you become a sixth-level disciple with your true strength, then the policy will be much more relaxed, at least for ten years, you don't have to worry. ”

As soon as he heard this, the young man's face changed slightly.

Nodding, the young man secretly said in his heart, "I must do my best tomorrow, even if he is desperate, he will enter the Xiaoyuan Gate!"

Satisfied with the young man's performance, Xiao Gu nodded expressionlessly, and asked instead, "How are the younger generations of the Lu family and the Shi family this time?"

When the young man heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Back to Uncle Xiao Gu, the younger generation of the two Lu Shi families in this session are all at the peak of the life spirit realm, and I am the only one who has reached the recruitment standard of Xiaoyuanmen. ”

A smile appeared on Xiao Gu's face.

"Well, this is a good thing, now there is only one person in the Lu family in Xiaoyuanmen, there is nothing to be afraid of, but the two people of the Shi family are in some trouble, after you also enter Xiaoyuanmen, the three of us will join forces, and we will definitely be able to break this deadlock." ”

"Uncle Xiao Gu didn't know that although the Lu family didn't have any disciples from the clan this time, they gave a letter of recommendation from a genius outsider, presumably because they wanted to unite that genius to consolidate their position in Xiaoyuanmen. The boy hurriedly interjected.

The corners of the melon-faced man's mouth twitched, and he sneered disdainfully: "Oh! Genius boy? United with outsiders? I think the Lu family is also exhausted, and he can even think of such a method." ”

"No, no, no, don't underestimate this genius boy, the other party is only eleven years old, and he defeated Ao Xiong, who had just been promoted to the Xuantian Realm, in Black Abyss City. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Gu and the melon-seed-faced man both showed shock on their faces.

Instead, Xiao Gu's face sank, and he said with a cold glint in his eyes: "This person is indeed a trouble, tomorrow in the selection competition, I will find a way to get rid of him!"
