Chapter 3: The Trial Assembly

It was late autumn, and the Yuntian Sect opened the mountain gate widely, and its three-year three-day ceremony of receiving disciples began.

Outside the mountain gate of the Yuntian Sect, there were many people who came to participate in the trial meeting of the Yuntian Sect's disciples, including many well-known Xiuzhen families, or powerful high-ranking officials in the secular world, descendants of rich families, and the majority of the scholars of the Han family. They all hoped to leap in and become a member of the Cloud Heaven Sect to consolidate their family power. And the scholars of the Hanmen also held the psychology of leaping over the dragon gate, and came to the trial one after another, hoping to take advantage of this to step into the ranks of cultivating immortals and achieve the road of immortality.

Inside the mountain gate of Yuntian Sect, there is a layer of light veil, countless jade steps, endless, shadows and shadows, in the misty clouds and smoke, flickering far and near, if it is about to leave. It's like a fairyland road, leading straight to the sky.

On the jade staircase, there were two elderly monks, who were the elders of the Yuntian Sect who were in charge of the trial meeting for the acceptance of disciples.

"Senior Brother Song, the trials of the outer sect, this time there must be a lot of gains, there are quite a few people. An old man in blue with a red face held back his breath and said with a smile on the side.

"I wish Senior Brother, the trial of the Inner Sect, I'm afraid I will gain more. Who doesn't know, those Xiuzhen families, rich armor, high-ranking officials, and royal families have sharpened their heads and come to the inner sect. Song Qingshan sneered with a strange expression.

Zhu Yuan saw that Song Qingshan was displeased, and said with a haha: "Senior brother is still worried about the matter of competing for the trial of the Inner Sect? It's a big deal that the trial of the Inner Sect three years later was given to Senior Brother Song. ”

Song Qingshan snorted coldly. With a wave of his left hand, a strong and powerful wind blew fiercely on the bronze bell standing next to the mountain gate of Yuntian Sect.

"Knock...... Boom...... Boom" a low and melodious bell rang in all directions.

When the bell rang, there was a sudden silence outside the gate of Yuntian Sect, and everyone looked at the two deacons and elders who were flying in the wind at the jade staircase.

"Although, my Yuntian Sect accepts disciples, which is more lenient than other factions. However, cultivating immortals is the first and foremost natural spiritual root. If I call on the name, please come to me and test the spiritual root. Those who pass will go directly to the mountain gate to register and become disciples of the inner sect. Those who fail can take the second step of the test. Zhu Yuan said in a loud voice.

"Unqualified!"

"Unqualified!"

"Unqualified!"

“......”

In one cup of tea, the first step of the test has ended, and the number of people who have passed is only hundreds.

In the crowd of unsuccessful candidates, Nanikawa, who was standing side by side with the Liu sisters, frowned. You can't just go back here, the fat man's hard work is all here.

"It's not like you'll be able to pass by handing over the spirit stone, I'm afraid this rumor is just a means for Yuntian Sect to make money. Lang Chuan's heart sank.

Liu Qing listened to Lang Chuan's words, Liu frowned slightly, and his face was full of loss.

"Such a wealth accumulation, this second step of the test, I'm afraid that only those who have handed over the spirit stone are eligible, right?" Lang Chuan touched his nose and said.

As soon as I said that, the second step of the test has begun. As Lang Chuan said, in the next test, only those who secretly paid the spirit stones could appear in the list of the second step test.

The list of the second test ranged from 300 people, and the Liu sisters and Nan Chuan happened to be in the same line.

"The road of cultivating immortals is full of hardships and requires perseverance. This second step of the test is to climb the White Cloud Ladder of the Cloud Heaven Sect on foot. There are more than 1,000 steps of the Baiyun Ladder, and if you climb 800 steps, you can directly become a disciple of the elders of the outer sect, and if you climb more than 500 steps, you can become a disciple of the inner sect if you climb the thousand steps. Hike the ladder, do not use magic weapons and other objects, violators will be disqualified. ”

Looking at the white cloud ladder that went straight to the sky, many children of imperial power and nobles gave up directly. It is impossible for them to go up with eight sedan chairs when they go out. Self-aware, they consciously abstained, and in the end there were only 200 people left.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

"Sister, don't worry. I won't give up easily. Liu Zhuang swallowed and comforted Liu Qing.

"Zhuang'er, I'm behind you. Even if you carry it, I will carry you up. Liu Qing looked at Liu Zhuang with firm eyes.

"I'll help you too. One of us can be selected, and there is hope for your illness, don't force it. Nanikawa sighed and continued to comfort.

"Thank you!" In today's hot and cold world, Liu Qing, who has always rarely thanked him, looked at Lang Chuan with tears in his eyes and replied.

The higher you go, the colder it gets. Lang Chuan looked at everyone's trembling bodies from behind, warning himself over and over again not to look behind. There are too many people looking down, and suddenly there is no fighting spirit.

"I give up!"

"I give up!"

"I give up!"

“......”

Stand on the 400-step white cloud ladder. Nanikawa curled up with a trembling body and crawled forward. From time to time, the sound of giving up can be heard in my ears. The more one person is missing, the more cold he feels, and this coldness comes from the heart.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Liu Zhuang's originally pale face can only be described as pale at this time. A sick body that will fall apart at any time is shivering. I can't, I can't hold back. I'm going to keep going. I can't let my sister down, let alone let her face this cold world alone.

Liu Qing's teeth trembled and he bit his lips and looked at the Baiyun Ladder with only one hundred steps left, and silently muttered in his heart, there are still a hundred, and there are still a hundred, and he can become a miscellaneous disciple of the outer sect and renew his life for Zhuang'er's alchemy.

Liu Qing walked forward while pulling Liu Zhuang.

Lang Chuan looked back at the Liu sisters who had reached their limit, licked their chapped lips, gritted their teeth, turned around, and grabbed Liu Zhuang on his back.

Liu Qing looked at Lang Chuan tiredly, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said with a crimson face, "Lang Chuan, our two sisters and brothers owe you, and we will pay it back ten times in the future." Even if...... Even if it's me who promises it. ”

Lang Chuan was stunned, did not answer, and then continued to move forward step by step. Helping their sisters and brothers is purely their own cause. So that when I leave, I don't have to worry. However, at this time, Nanikawa's head was empty, but he didn't know how to answer.

Lang Chuan's expression surprised Liu Qing, and then he sped up a little to catch up with Lang Chuan and asked, "You dislike me?"

"No, it doesn't have to be that way!"

Liu Qing looked at Langchuan's dark and expressionless face, and bit his red lip, which was about to bite blood, with a somewhat strange expression.

With ten steps left, Lang Chuan already felt that his body had reached its limit, and Shan Qi knelt on the ground and slowly crawled with a trembling tremble. I can't stop there, absolutely not. Lang Chuan shook the bronze mirror in his arms hard, and his dark face looked even more resolute.

Seeing the decisiveness in Lang Chuan's expression, Liu Qing's eyes froze, and he silently carried the pressure brought by the front, and followed Lang Chuan to the five hundredth steps.

When Lang Chuan and the others stepped into the 500th step, the cold that everyone had felt before actually disappeared, and a stream of heat followed.

In the great changes of alternating cold and heat, the weak Liu Zhuang sighed and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Zhuang'er" Liu Qing dragged his tired body, quickly moved to Liu Zhuang's side, patted Liu Zhuang's back and asked with concern.

Nanikawa was half-lying on the steps, slapping and kneading the stiff muscles everywhere. This is not the end, I have to continue, I have to enter the inner sect, I can continue to walk.

"We're going to leave it at that. Lang Chuan looked at the Liu sister and said.

Liu Zhuang looked at his sister and Langchuan's eyes, revealing a faint tenderness, and a shallow smile appeared on his pale face. Yanagizhuang very much hopes that his sister can find someone who can replace him, and the Langchuan in front of him is the best choice. It's just that Lang Chuan's eyes are a little flat.

"Brother Langchuan, we'll have a meeting later. I believe that Brother Nanikawa will be able to successfully enter the Inner Sect. ”

Regarding Liu Zhuang's change in his name, Lang Chuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Take care of the two." ”

Looking at Lang Chuan's resolute back, Liu Qing was a little lost, as if he had lost something important.

From the seventieth order, the heat flow gradually intensified, with a faint coercion. Lang Chuan frowned, it seems that this white cloud ladder is a little strange.

"This son's perseverance and endurance are very amazing, looking at his physique, it seems that he has not practiced the martial arts of the secular world, and he can come to such a point with his ordinary body. Zhu Yuan's eyes lit up slightly.

"If this son can pass the eighth-hundredth order, the old man will definitely make an exception and accept him as a disciple. Song Qingshan stroked his mustache and replied.

"Senior Brother Song, who has not accepted apprentices for decades, actually started the idea of accepting apprentices. Interesting, interesting. Zhu Yuan laughed.

Song Qingshan didn't even look at Zhu Yuan, snorted coldly, and continued to pay attention to Langchuan.

In the struggle, Langchuan took the 790th, 791st, 792nd, and 793rd steps!

Although his body trembled, there seemed to be an amazing tenacity in his not tall body, and this tenacity supported his spine, allowing him to look up when facing anyone!

Seventy-Ninety-fourth, Seventh-Ninety-Five! Lang Chuan stepped on the 796th step, his face was bulging, and all parts of his body had turned crimson!

His eyes, as if burning, were very red, and his dry skin began to crack. Lang Chuan's right hand held the bronze mirror that still had a little low temperature, and the blood secreted from the cracked skin slowly flowed through the bronze mirror. When a trace of overflowing essence blood flowed into the bronze mirror, the depths of Lang Chuan's mind suddenly roared. There are signs of healing inside its body.

Lang Chuan, who had almost become a bloody man gradually losing consciousness, suddenly raised his heaviest steps and stepped on the eight hundredth steps fiercely!

When Lang Chuan stepped on the eighteenth step, Song Qingshan was excited in his heart, and immediately shot a spiritual trick to Lang Chuan, and a purple pill instantly disappeared into his mouth.

"Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" Song Qingshan said as he looked at Lang Chuan with some expectation.

The eighteenth step, is this my limit? Does it stop there? Nan Chuan tried to continue climbing the stairs, but his heart moved, but his limbs did not move. Well, he's also a disciple of an elder of a foreign sect.

Lang Chuan looked at Song Qingshan half-open, and replied, "Disciple, I am willing." After saying that, he immediately passed out.
