Chapter 21 The selection begins

In the following days, except for eating, Zhou Nan rarely went out, and most of the time, he stayed in the room alone, practicing fireball skills.

can condense flames, which makes Zhou Nan very happy. This shows that he has succeeded in a certain sense. Although for the realistic result, from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Nan was very dissatisfied. But overall, it's off to a good start. As long as you practice diligently, you will always succeed.

The time of one month seems to be a long time, but for Zhou Nan, who is focused on cultivation, it is even a flash.

Today will be the most important and lively day in Xuanhuo City.

Today, there will be many fairies as beautiful as flowers, falling from the sky. There will be immortal masters with immortal wind bones descending into the city. There will be a lot of lucky ones who will be chosen to become immortals. There will be a lot of sadness, a lot of happiness, a lot of madness...

Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was dawning, Zhou Nan couldn't sleep. He jumped up quickly, got dressed, neatly dressed, carefully freshened himself, and hurried downstairs.

The morning air was fresh, the sun was shining, and more importantly it was a good day. Early in the morning, even if Wang's blacksmith shop is very remote, you can still feel the thick excitement in the air.

said goodbye to Old Man Wang, and with the encouragement of the other party, Zhou Nan happily agreed. With his head held high, he strode out of the door of the blacksmith's shop. Along the way, pedestrians were excited. While talking happily, he hurried to the center of the city with eager steps.

The vendors shouted loudly and boasted about their things in order to sell them for a good price. The boys and girls were full of excitement, and they all increased their speed in order to reach the square as soon as possible.

The old people, although they moved slowly, looked regretful. But looking at their younger generations, they also contain strong expectations. Obviously, they all have the same mind.

In this heavy atmosphere, Zhou Nan also felt the blood boiling that he had not seen for a long time, and unconsciously accelerated his pace. Follow the crowd and walk through the streets. After a short time, I came to a square the size of a hundred zhang.

The square is paved with large bluestones, and is directly opposite the castle lord's mansion, which is 20 zhang high. In the middle, a high platform with a radius of ten zhang and a height of two meters is built. On the high platform were several large tables and a few chairs.

His ears were filled with the sighs of the crowd, the shouts, the noise, the chatter, and after a while, he felt a little big. Frowning, Zhou Nan's heart moved, and he started "Zhimu Decision"

Suddenly, a cool air flow rose from the dantian, passed through the tendons, and converged in the ears. In an instant, Zhou Nan felt that all the noise was far away from him, and the entire world world also quieted down. This miraculous ability made Zhou Nan deeply feel the magic of an immortal cultivator, and it also made his desire to seek the Tao even stronger.

Isolated from the sound, Zhou Nan looked at it slowly. At this moment, the square is already crowded with people. But from time to time, there are still large numbers of people coming in. Everyone had to squeeze even tighter. The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was also closed, and there was no one on the high platform.

In such a dreary and exciting environment, an hour slowly left.

Suddenly, with the sound of dull footsteps sounding, the crowd instantly fell silent. After a while, around the square, a group of soldiers in armor and spears walked in.

The number of soldiers was quite large, as many as 500. They are well-trained and quick to act. In a short time, the square was enclosed along the outermost street. They are the city guards of the Xuanhuo Inner City, and they have their presence in some important things like this, and their prestige is very high.

It didn't take long for the closed gate of the City Lord's Mansion to slowly open with a heavy creak.

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and stared at them tightly with a pair of fiery eyes. The footsteps came from far and near, and everyone held their breath, their faces burning. It's almost blood boiling and bursting blood vessels!

Under the gaze of everyone, a group of four people walked out slowly.

The current one is an old man dressed in a white robe, holding floating dust in his hand, and with a three-foot white beard. This old man has a gentle smile on his face, a fairy wind and bones, a dusty and elegant appearance, and he looks very good.

The old man looked at him, and a pair of golden boys and girls appeared in everyone's eyes. The man is handsome and has an indifferent demeanor. The woman is small and cute, and the beauty is abnormal, it is Wang Yuxuan's daughter.

At the end, a majestic-looking man, with his head bowed with a solemn face, walked step by step. Although his costume is gorgeous, his aura is full. But it is clear that of the four, he has the lowest status.

A group of four people walked slowly, and everyone's eyes moved to the high platform. The four of them sat down, and the white-robed old man gave a faint order, then closed his eyes and rested.

Nodding, the majestic-looking man stood up and slowly came to the front of the stage. With the movements of the majestic man, the crowd also let out a burst of whispering discussions.

His hands were pressed to stop the crowd talking. The majestic man said slowly, "Everyone, the contemptible person is Yang Cheng, the city lord of Xuanhuo Inner City. Today is a big day for the Xuanhuo Sect to select disciples once every five years, and it is also a big day for all young people. This selection was presided over by Zaixia. Below, those who meet the requirements will be tested on stage in turn according to the roll call. Remember, those who want to make trouble and confuse their eyes will be killed. โ€

Yang Cheng said very seriously, but the last sentence was not taken to heart at all. All of them mustered up their strength, their eyes wide open, and greeted this solemn moment.

In a short time, under the arrangement of the relevant people, all the boys and girls who met the age requirements came to the front, and the number was as high as five or six hundred. It can be seen that their work efficiency is very high. After the crowd was settled, Yang Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and directly announced the start.

"The first one, Aman, came to the stage to test. Yang Cheng's words fell, and a little fat man ran to the stage excitedly and came to the table.

Opening his eyes, the white-robed old man smiled slightly, and his hand just gently touched a bag on his waist, like a trick, and took out a crystal ball the size of a head. This magical scene made everyone's eyes light up, and their faces were so excited that they almost drooled.

Glanced at the little fat man. The white-robed old man said slowly, "Put your hand on the crystal ball and concentrate." The old man's voice was not loud, but miraculously, everyone could hear it clearly. Everyone once again felt the magic of the immortal cultivators, and their faces were full of envy and awe.

The little fat man did as he was told. Stretched out his chubby hands, put them on the crystal ball, and slowly closed his eyes. After a few breaths, there was a sudden soft sound, and the three colors of red, black and blue appeared.

In the flow of light, under a few flashes, three colors crawled all over the crystal ball. After a while, as the three colors continue to change, the red twists a few times and becomes four stars, and the other two colors are one star.

Seeing this, the white-robed old man smiled and whispered, "Three-attribute spiritual root, four-star fire attribute, qualified." God, sign up. "I'm happy to see you at the door, this old man's mood is still very good.

Hearing this, the little fat man jumped up excitedly, and in the envious eyes of everyone, he quickly registered with the young man next to the old man, ran off the stage in a hurry, threw himself into the arms of a big fat man, and boasted.

The test did not stop because of this, and continued in an orderly manner.

"Next, White Mountain. โ€

"Not qualified. โ€

"Next, Wang Hai. โ€

"Not qualified. โ€

ยทยทยท

"Next, Chang Jin. โ€

"Qualified. โ€

In the past short period of incense, among more than 100 people, only six or seven were qualified. The odds are pitiful.

Gradually, the white-robed old man's brows furrowed, and he sighed, "Hey, how can it be so little? No wonder none of those old guys wanted to come. โ€

Hearing this, Wang Yuxuan smiled faintly and said crisply, "Uncle Shi doesn't have to sigh, this has spiritual roots, and people with immortal fate are one in a million after all." This is almost a 1 in 10 chance, which is already very large, and it is not angry. โ€

"Wang girl, you can see it. In recent years, the number of disciples recruited by our Xuanhuo Sect has become fewer and fewer, and the quality has become worse and worse. Those with good qualifications are almost monopolized by the seven major sects. Our sects can only accept some people with poor qualifications, and this will happen in the long run..." The white-robed old man was speechless and fell into a long grumble.

Wang Yuxuan frowned slightly, and said puzzledly, "Senior Uncle, I heard that the Xuanhuo City under our Xuanhuo Sect has produced an eight-star fire attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, which is rare, why is the sect still not satisfied?"

The young man also turned his head curiously and looked at the white-robed old man in order to solve his doubts.

Hearing this, the white-robed old man snorted and said angrily, "You don't mention that the old man is not angry, the outer side of the sect test, the eight-star Heavenly Spirit Root is the daughter of the city lord of Xuanhuo City." When our people arrived, that guy actually sent his daughter to the Kaiyang Sect one step ahead. The old man who was harmed ran away in vain, and when he came back, he was severely criticized by the elder. This bastard, if he had the opportunity to meet him, the old man would definitely tear him down alive. โ€

The young man was startled and said with a gloomy face. "What, Xuanhuo City Lord, how could it be him, how could he do such a thing? A mere mortal, so bold, doesn't he know how to write dead characters?" Hearing the young man's words, the white-robed old man seemed to not know what to say, he smiled, and said playfully, "God, you are still too young! Do you think we don't want to cramp and peel that guy who eats inside and out? It's just that guy actually defected to Kaiyang Sect in advance and asked for shelter. With Kaiyang Sect coming forward as a guarantee, we are also helpless. โ€

Hearing this, the young man's expression froze, and he said respectfully, "What the master taught is that the disciple has been taught. โ€

In the conversation of several people, there were only more than 100 of the more than 500 people on the field.

Suddenly, the crowd exclaimed, "Look, nine stars." โ€

"Oh my God, nine stars!"

"It's so beautiful, nine black stars. โ€

For a moment, the exclamation was deafening.

The exclamation interrupted the conversation of several people, and a trace of displeasure flashed on the face of the white-robed old man, but when he looked at the crystal ball, he suddenly opened his mouth wide, and his face was full of disbelief. Even Wang Yuxuan and the others were instantly stunned.

I saw a pair of white little hands, holding a pitch-black crystal ball, and the nine stars on the ball were dazzling. A timid little girl was on tiptoe with little hands attached to it. The little girl was very young, only seven or eight years old. Dressed badly, but very clean.

After being shocked for a while, the white-robed old man suddenly came back to his senses and looked up to the sky and laughed. After venting for a while, the white-robed old man lowered his head, stared at the little girl with burning eyes, like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat, and almost drooled.

The expression of horror was very hideous, and for a while, the frightened little girl went straight back.

Seeing this, Wang Yuxuan couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly pulled down the corner of the white-robed old man's clothes, and said softly: "Uncle Shi, you scared her." โ€

Hearing the reminder, the white-robed old man came back to his senses and was very embarrassed. After tidying up his clothes, he turned into a fairy wind again. He said softly, "Little one, don't be afraid, what's your name?" โ€

Seeing the kind appearance of the white-robed old man, the little girl was very heartless, and instantly forgot the fear just now. whispered: "My name is Ling'er, Jiang Ling'er." My mother is sick, very sick, grandpa, you are a good person, can you save her?"

Listening to the little girl's innocent words, the white-robed old man smiled, "No problem, it's a trivial matter." โ€

Hearing this, the little girl was very happy, and excitedly threw herself into the arms of the white-robed old man and became coquettish. At a young age, he learned this, which is really commendable! Looking at all this, Zhou Nanyi had a black line in his head.

Holding the little girl, the old man in the white robe was in a good mood, "Losing the east corner and harvesting the mulberry elm is really the prosperity of my sect." Tianwen, Wang girl, I'll leave it to you, uncle, I'll go first. Remember, do a good job of sealing. โ€

After speaking, with a wave of his sleeves, the golden light flashed, and he flew to the distant mountain with the old man and the little girl in the white robe, and in a few flashes, he went out of the square, crossed the house, and disappeared.

Wang Yuxuan and Lan Tianwen glanced at each other, and smiled helplessly, as if they were very clear about the actions of the old man in the white robe. Then, in front of the stunned crowd, he lightly commanded, "Okay, continue the test." โ€

Time passed slowly, except for the nine-star craze just now, among more than 100 people, more than 20 people passed the test. Xu responded to luck, the odds doubled, but a lot of people were happy. The atmosphere on the field suddenly became richer.

Watching the people in front of him go on stage and get off the stage one by one, some people are happy and some are sad, and Zhou Nan's mood is also up and down. He has a great enemy, but he doesn't know who the enemy is. If you want to become an immortal, if you are unlucky, you will be like those losers, like a puppet, and walk off the stage in despair.

"Is there anyone else?" Glancing at it, Yang Cheng shouted loudly.

Seeing that no one was on stage to test, Zhou Nan tiptoed and fell lightly on the stage. With both hands stretched out, it was placed on the crystal ball. After a few breaths, the thick green crawled all over the crystal ball.

Suddenly, four small stars shone brightly.
