Chapter 52: Outer Door Assessment
Chapter 52: Outer Door Assessment
Packing up his mood, Mu Hao returned to his residence where he had been away for more than half a year, and disposed of the medicinal field full of weeds. Then he used the letter order to inform Tong Zhan that he had returned to the sect and was ready to retreat and practice hard, so that he would not have to worry.
"Strive to form a true yuan as soon as possible and become an outer disciple. Mu Hao placed the cultivation array plate in the four corners of the cultivation room, and placed a high-grade spirit stone in each of the inlay holes, and then sat down and prepared to start cultivating, Mu Hao muttered to himself in a low voice. Mu Hao himself couldn't understand why he suddenly wanted to become an outer disciple so eagerly.
During this period of Mu Hao's penance, two major events occurred in the entire Qianguo Immortal Cultivation Realm. The first is: a formal truce between the righteous path and the demon sect, and an agreement was signed that the disciples of the two sides would not fight again within two years, otherwise they would be severely punished. The second is: all the disciples who went out of the major sects were recalled and the sects were officially closed. All the disciples take penance and prepare for the five-year "Dharma Cultivation Conference" two years later.
Since then, the entire Qianguo Immortal Cultivation Realm has been in a state of relative peace. It's just that under this calm, there is an undercurrent, and all kinds of forces have shown their true colors. The calm before the storm heralded that a major event was about to happen that would stir up the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Time passed slowly in Mu Hao's penance day after day, and more than a month had passed since Mu Hao's retreat and cultivation.
For Mu Hao, reaching the eighth layer of Qi refining and forming a true yuan is the key to becoming an immortal cultivator in the true sense. The four milky white jade stones in the cultivation array plate also became dull in color. Although there is the help of the cultivation array to gather the aura, those auras are only purified and absorbed by the pores on the body, and the true source of the aura has to rely on the meridians to absorb the Hongmeng qi provided by the Eight Scenery Gourd.
"It's almost, you can hit the eighth layer and form a true element. Looking at the eight mana groups of the same size in the dantian in his body, Mu Hao muttered excitedly. A pair of eyes as bright as stars slowly closed, and the surging heart tide slowly subsided.
"One element is the beginning, two elements are combined, three points are inseparable, and the four celestial phenomena are ,......"
Quickly recalled the exercise route of the "Eight Scenes Catalogue Gong" in his mind, and the meridians in his body were quickly filled with surging mana, and countless mana was concentrated from the limbs and hundreds of remains, slowly converging in the dantian, and running along a fixed line, one after another cycles slowly accumulated powerful energy in the body.
The huge amount of mana in the eight mana groups in Mu Hao's body was carefully driven by him. The eight mana groups were like eight torrents, forming a bowl-shaped multicolored vortex in Mu Hao's dantian, and I saw that the whirlpool was spinning wildly in Mu Hao's dantian.
Although the "Eight Scenes Catalogue Gong" is derived from the Eight Scenes Gourd, it should be different from the exercises of this immortal cultivation world. But what surprised Mu Hao was that some places were completely consistent, just like the power of gathering the eight veins to form the true yuan. This also surprised Mu Hao.
The powerful mana is slowly nourished in the meridians in the body. At this moment, Mu Hao was extremely calm and steady, which made him feel a strange feeling.
Finally, when the mana in his body had accumulated to the top and reached the limit that his mind could control, the surging mana rushed towards the line of the eighth layer that formed the true element like water breaking through the embankment.
If there are outsiders, they will be surprised and can't close their mouths. A vortex of aura was formed in the sky above Mu Hao, and a large amount of aura was injected into Mu Hao's body from Mu Hao's head.
A loud sound like thunder suddenly came out of his mind, and everything in Mu Hao's mind suddenly changed, and another scene was changed in an instant. He seemed to have returned to the moment when he first came into contact with the Eight Views Gourd at night, and the Eight Views Gourd emitted a strange light.
Mu Hao's body trembled slightly, and when his spirit had just returned, he suddenly sensed a completely different change in his body. In his body, several new lines of movement had been successfully opened, and the mana, which was even more powerful than before, flowed in his body like flowing water, and his body seemed to have endless power.
In the eighth layer of qi refining, it is not only necessary to form a true element, but also to open up the meridians of the whole body.
Mu Hao opened his eyes, the moonlight above his head had dissipated, and his gaze had just caught the first rays of light when the morning sun was rising.
"It's finally the true element. Mu Hao opened his eyes in surprise and shouted. Mu Hao stood up and moved his body, only to hear a crackling sound coming from Mu Hao's body.
"I've been sitting cross-legged for more than a month, and my body is almost rusty. However, it is not in vain that I have been practicing hard for more than a month, and I have finally formed the true element. As long as you pass the assessment of the sect, you can truly become an outer disciple. And in another half a month, it will be the day when the new preparatory pavilion disciples enter the "Qianyang Pavilion" with the top ten of the sect, with my current strength, I should be able to get good things, I hope I don't disappoint. Feeling the mana in his body, Mu Hao whispered with a little excitement.
According to the rules of the Qianyang Sect, disciples who are qualified to enter the "Qianyang Pavilion" must break the protective barriers set up for the treasures if they want to find treasures such as exercises, magic techniques, and magic weapons that are suitable for them. Treasures can be obtained by those who are capable, otherwise even if you enter the treasure pavilion, you will not be able to get treasures without strength.
The so-called outer door assessment was set up by the Qianyang Sect to assess the newly promoted outer disciples. It's not just to prevent those disciples of the Reserve Pavilion who have not formed the True Yuan within five years from being expelled from the sect and sent to the secular world, so they take risks and falsely report their cultivation, and enter the outer gate to continue the great cause of cultivating immortals. It is also to test the qualifications of the new outer disciples and give them good resources for training, if the qualifications are good enough to be accepted as a disciple by a Yuan Infant Stage monk who has opened the peak to accept disciples, it will be even more terrible.
Don't underestimate the identity of this inconspicuous "outer disciple of the Qianyang Sect", but if you can go this far, it means that your chances of cultivating in this life have been greatly improved, and you don't have to cultivate blindly and aimlessly like many scattered cultivators, and you don't have to find a backer when you are bullied, let alone fight with people for life and death for some spiritual stones and refining materials needed for cultivation.
Mu Hao was wearing a disciple's jade robe and walked into a palace with a plaque that read "Outer Disciple Assessment Hall".
"Are you here to assess the outer disciples? Report your name and enter the trial ground for the assessment. A middle-aged man who was also wearing a disciple's jade robe leaned lazily on a wooden chair and said to Mu Hao. "There have been few people in this examination hall all year round, and today another one finally came. It's boring, and it's not like other places where you can fish for oil. You must cultivate well, lest next year's sect competition be at the bottom again, and you have been arranged by the sect to this ghost place for three consecutive years. The man muttered to himself angrily.
"Yes, senior brother, in Xia Muhao. Mu Hao replied with a smile. "Well, let me see, Mu Hao entered the Qianyang Sect at the age of fourteen, and he is fifteen years old this year, and he has the four attributes of gold, wood, fire, and earth. After reading Mu Hao's information, the man was surprised to read that his lazy face gradually became serious. "Another genius, last time that Wang Ling'er was a three-attribute spiritual root of gold, wood and fire, but it took nearly three years to form a true element, but I didn't expect this kid to be even more powerful. ”
"This is your number plate, go in! On a plaque on the high platform of the assessment field, the assessment rules are written, I wish the junior brother a successful assessment!" At the door of the trial ground, the man handed Mu Hao a jade plate with a number printed on it, and said with a smile.
Mu Hao smiled and nodded. Entering through the door, it is a square that covers an area of dozens of acres, and there is a high platform with a radius of 100 meters built up of lapis lazuli that seems to be stronger than King Kong, and a plaque is hung on the high platform.
Looking at Mu Hao's distant figure, the man murmured enviously: "In three years, I will be thirty years old, young is good!" The Qianyang Sect stipulates that when you reach the age of thirty, you will no longer be a disciple of the inner and outer sects of the Qianyang Sect, and you will not be able to participate in the ranking of the Qianyang List, and you will no longer enjoy the free resources provided by the sect. For these disciples who have reached the age of thirty, they must either leave the sect to find another way to make a living, or stay in the sect to be a sect steward and continue their great cause of cultivating immortals.
Looking at it, the assessment items are simple, but the difficulty is by no means that ordinary people can complete.
The first level: Learn the "control of the law" randomly displayed on the plaque within an hour, and lift the jack stone lock with mana, one point at a time.
Mu Hao looked at the law control decision displayed on the plaque, but in the time of a stick of incense, he had already mastered the use of this law control decision. Then he controlled the mana in his body and easily lifted the stone lock. After two hundred strokes in a row, Mu Hao stopped. Mu Xiu is in the forest wind will destroy the truth, Mu Hao still understands. "This first level not only assesses the disciple's comprehension, but also assesses the disciple's qualifications. Mu Hao thought so in his heart.
The second level: Fight against the "beast soldier" in the "Beast Soldier Talisman", and get ten points for each breath you hold.
As soon as he entered the white aperture of the second assessment area, Mu Hao sensed that the aura of heaven and earth around him was stagnant, it was obvious that this aperture was some kind of spell that imprisoned space, which could isolate the connection with the outside world, and in the aperture, it was a monster with a body shape of three meters and a hideous wolf-headed human body.
"Roar!"
The wolf-headed man suddenly roared wildly, and rushed towards Chu Yi at an astonishing speed, his claws were windy, as if even the air was about to be torn apart, and it was also a shame that Mu Hao had been on guard early in the morning, and under the operation of the mana in his body, the person rotated and dodged like a spinning top, and when he couldn't make a move, he dodged this violent blow.
"This is also outrageous, if it is just an assessment for the outer disciples to test, how can such a powerful guy run out?"
Each "Beast Soldier Talisman" imprisoned a second-order demon beast with a hundred-year-old climate. Of course, because the spirit of the demon beast forbidden by the rune has been erased, it is all instinctive to attack, and at the same time, it has been imposed an order not to harm people's lives, and its strength has also decreased, even if it is fully exerted, it is difficult to reach the real second-order demon beast.
The wolf demon didn't care how surprised Mu Hao was in his heart, the innate strength and speed of the demon beast were perfectly reflected at this moment, the body flashed, or pounced, or bumped, or bitten, or sweeped, the offensive was endless, and it almost really blasted Mu Hao out of the forbidden circle.
Being forced to be so embarrassed really made Mu Hao, who wanted to pass the assessment in a low-key manner, angry.
