The Cangyue Sect is said to be on the Tianquan Peak of the Golden Tooth Mountains, and both of them are coming for the first time, with a map in their hands, and they have been looking for a long time in the mountains.

"Young master, why are these mountains the same, how long will it take us to find Tianquan Peak if we go on like this!" Ah Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead a little tiredly, and said a little impatiently.

"Did you leave any markers along the way?" Xie Ling stopped and looked at the mountain range around him.

"Young master, don't worry, they are all left according to your requirements. Ah Gang handed the kettle over and said, "Young master, you can drink saliva!"

Xie Ling took the kettle and drank two sips and said, "You also drink some, it's hot weather, don't get heat stroke." ”

"Hmm-" Ah Gang took the kettle and was about to drink it, when he suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Hey, young master, what do you think it is?"

Xie Ling looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a small black dot between the mountains in the distance approaching his location, the black dot was getting bigger and bigger, and it didn't take long to clearly see that it was a young man in blue who was wielding a flying sword.

"Young Master, it's an immortal, there really are immortals!" said Agang excitedly.

Xie Ling nodded, and his heart was also agitated. Although the Xie family is a family of immortal cultivators, they have never seen such characters flying around in the air on weekdays, so they will naturally be excited.

"Who are you, this is a forbidden area, don't stay here, go back quickly!" the blue-clothed young man on the flying sword glanced at them and said.

"Disciple Xie Ling, I'm here to apprentice, this is my trial life token, please take a look at the immortal master!" Xie Ling hurriedly gave a deep salute, and then took out the black token from his arms.

The blue-clothed young man glanced at the token in his hand, then grabbed it with one hand and sucked it into his hand out of thin air.

"Yes, it's the Cangyue Order of this sect, you can stay, if that person doesn't have a token, go down the mountain immediately!" said the blue-clothed young man's gaze on Ah Gang.

"Ah Gang, you go back first, and tell my father that I have arrived at the Cangyue Sect, please don't worry about him. Xie Ling turned to Agan and said.

"Ah Gang is not around, the young master must take good care of himself in the future!" Ah Gang has been following Xie Ling since he was a child, and he can't help but be a little reluctant to be separated at this time.

"Got it, let's go, or it won't be easy to leave when it's dark. Xie Ling felt his heart, and he was also a little emotional.

The blue-clothed young man looked a little impatient, the flying sword swooped down, he stretched out a hand in his right hand and lifted Xie Ling to the flying sword, and then pulled it up, and disappeared into the clouds and mist in an instant.

Agan watched them fly away in a daze before turning to leave.

In a majestic hall made of blue jade, the young man in blue stood with his hands down, his expression extremely respectful. On a narrow rectangular chair opposite him sat an old man with a white beard. On the wisteria wooden chairs on either side of the main hall also sat two monks wearing crescent robes.

"This trial student token should be the one given to the Xie family!" said the white-bearded old man, his gaze swept over the black token in his hand, and then looked at the old man with three locks of beard on the right.

"Back to the senior brother in charge, this piece was indeed given to them by the Xie family after assisting the sect to complete a task. A total of three pieces were given at that time, and the first two pieces had been used separately decades ago, and this is the last one!" said the bearded old man.

"Senior Brother Xiang is in charge of the Internal Affairs Department, since you confirm that it is correct, it should not be wrong. However, this sect has just recruited a new batch of trial students, and all the academies have already made arrangements, how should the children of the Xie family arrange it?" said the white-bearded old man.

"This son's qualifications are mediocre, only the lower grade immortal root, and the nephew of Master Cui of the Refining Academy has complained to me many times that there is not enough manpower, so I think it is good to assign him there. Xiang said after a little hesitation.

"Do you have any opinions?" the white-bearded old man glanced at the rest of the humans.

The rest of the people naturally have no objections, just an ordinary trial student, if they don't happen to be in the main hall today, the internal affairs department can handle it on its own.

Xie Ling was waiting for news in the side hall outside at this time, and when he saw the young man in blue coming out of the main hall, he was both nervous and excited in his heart, not knowing that he would be assigned to that immortal master to learn the arts, and the look of anticipation on his face was overflowing.

"Come with me!" The young man in blue glanced at him, knowing that the fate of the young man in front of him was destined to be fixed forever in the refining room in the back mountain.

Seeing that his expression was different, Xie Ling couldn't hold back his curiosity and obediently followed behind.

"Trialists have a year's chance to try, and at the end of the year, if they don't reach the junior apprenticeship level, they will be sent home. Only by passing the test can you truly become an outer disciple of the sect. The young man in blue said as he walked.

Xie Ling was stunned for a while, it turned out that there was only one year of trial time, and if he couldn't pass it, he would be sent back, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"My name is Jiang Tong, I am on duty today, you can call me senior brother. The young man in blue said.

"Senior Brother Jiang, are there any other trial students besides me?" Xie Ling asked for the first time.

"Of course, before you came, this sect had just recruited more than a thousand trial students, but after a year, it is estimated that only one-tenth of them will remain, and the rest who have not passed the guò test will all be sent back. Jiang Tong said expressionlessly.

"It's so difficult, there's only a 1 in 10 chance of staying!" Xie Ling smacked his tongue, he didn't think he was a genius, such a low chance made him feel an invisible pressure.

"You don't have to worry too much. Jiang Tong said.

"Why?" Xie Ling said with some confusion.

"Because where you're going to trial, there's relatively little competition. Jiang Tong said.

"Then what am I going to do with that trial?" Senior Brother!" Xie Ling finally said what was in his heart.

"Don't worry, you'll know later!" Jiang Tong said with a rare smile.

Xie Ling became even more curious, but just like Jiang Tong said, it was only after the tea that he knew where he was going to try.

In a position against the cliff, a square courtyard was built, and on the lintel of the courtyard hung a brown wood plaque, on which three large black and gold characters were carved with great skill.

'Refining Academy' Xie Ling silently recited this word, which was very unfamiliar to him.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Jiang of the 'Sword Trial Academy'?!" A young man who was coming out of the courtyard wearing the same costume as Jiang Tong was a little shocked when he saw them.

When Jiang Tong saw him, he stepped forward and arched his hand in a very rare way: "I heard that Senior Brother Qi has been authorized by Senior Uncle Cui to enter the Earth Fire Room to refine weapons, I don't know if it's true?"

"Hehe, even Senior Brother Jiang knows about this, it was the dean and his old man who saw that I was quite diligent, so he allowed me to enter the Earth Fire Room to refine weapons. "The person who is called Senior Brother Qi raises his head with his hands, which seems to be very embarrassing. His gaze suddenly fell on Xie Ling, and he said with some doubts: "This is—"

"This is Xie Ling, a trial student assigned to the 'Refining Academy', please ask Senior Brother to give you Uncle Cui!" Jiang Tong said.

"Trial students, didn't you just arrange a batch to come over last time?" Senior Brother Qi was even more puzzled.

"He is not a trial student recruited this time, he came by himself with a trial student token. Uncle Cui asked for someone from the Internal Affairs Department not long ago, so the head of the house personally assigned him here. Jiang Tong said.

"I see, junior brother, wait a minute, I'll go and report to the dean and his old man. Senior Brother Qi glanced at Xie Ling beside Jiang Tong, and then entered the courtyard.

Not long after, Senior Brother Qi came out of the courtyard, hugged his fists at Jiang Tong and said: "The dean is selecting the materials to be used next time, just ask this junior brother to stay, Senior Brother Lao has bothered to bring him over!"

Jiang Tong knew that this Uncle Cui was a famous workaholic, and when he was refining things, it was common for him to stay awake for days and nights, so he didn't care, turned around and handed a triangular black iron token to Xie Lingdao: "This is your identity token in the future, as for how to use it, they will teach you, I have to go back to my life, so I won't stay here anymore, I hope to see you in a year." ”

"I can definitely see it!" Xie Ling said with a confident glint in his eyes.

Jiang Tong was slightly stunned, he had seen this kind of look in several other people, and they were undoubtedly the most outstanding disciples of the Cangyue Sect now, could it be that he- impossible, this is the 'Refining Academy', there will be no miracles, he only hesitated for a moment, then sacrificed the flying sword, and disappeared into the mountains after a while.

"Xie Ling, right?" Senior Brother Qi looked at Xie Ling and said.

"Xie Ling has seen Senior Brother Qi!" Xie Ling bowed and said.

"My name is Qi Yun, I'll take you to the trial room, and the first ones will live there. Qi Yun said with a smile.

"There's Senior Brother Lao!" Xie Ling said with some expectation.

The two of them entered the courtyard one after the other, bypassing the houses, Qi Yun led Xie Ling to a row of stone houses that I don't know how many years have passed, and said, "Senior Brother Xie, you can choose any of the seven rooms as your residence, and the others are busy working now, and they won't come back until the evening." ”

Xie Ling's eyes swept over the seven stone houses, because of the age, the top of each room was covered with thick moss, and the four walls of the stone houses were stained with water, and in some places there were many handwriting and pictures engraved, he pointed to the last stone house and said, "That's it!"

"Okay, here's your key!" Qi Yun showed a strange look on his face, but then handed him a key.

When you open the door of the stone house, it is larger and simpler than expected, there is a desk and wooden chair on the left side of the door, a stone bed against the wall opposite, and there is only a large wardrobe. The humble room was much worse than the one where his servants lived, but he was not discouraged, at least here he could breathe fresh air freely, and no matter how bitter it was, it was a hundred times stronger than his own gorgeous little cage!

"Not bad!" Xie Ling put the package on the stone bed, what he cared about now was not what his place was like, but that he would be assigned to cultivate under that master next.

"The dean must have finished selecting the materials by now, let's go over!" Qi Yun said.

"Good!" Xie Ling said.

But just as they were about to leave, a thin young man of the same age as Xie Ling passed by them, his face was black as if he had been smoked by fireworks, his expression was very wilted, and he muttered in his mouth, not loudly, but Xie Ling could clearly hear that he was unlucky and was assigned to the 'Refining Academy'.

"Stop!" Qi Yun stopped his steps forward, turned around, and said in a somewhat cold voice.
