Chapter 6 Getting Started
Three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and since an immortal came up from the Zheng Mansion and personally screened the quotas, the places for the secular disciples of the Northern Yuan Gate have also been determined one after another.
On this day, a blue rainbow appeared in the sky north of Huolin Town, and in an instant, it came to the mid-air in front of the town's Shangfu Inn.
It was a young man in a cyan robe, stepping on a flying sword, with red lips and white teeth, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with an indifferent face, staring at the four big words "Laifu Inn" on the door of the inn, and said loudly: "Laifu Inn opens his head." ”
Zhang Yan and Zhang Wu had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw a rainbow stop in front of the inn in an instant, they hurriedly trotted out of the backyard.
"Zhang Wu has seen Daxian, this is my cousin Zhang Datou, come here and see Daxian. Zhang Wu looked happy, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Yan, who looked stunned.
What is different today is that there is a tattered and old umbrella behind his back, his face is not shocked, and he bows his hand slightly to the young man in mid-air.
"It's good, calm enough, that day in the Zheng Mansion, I can see that you are skilled, but are you ready?" The young man was not annoyed by Zhang Yan's attitude, and chuckled.
The young man's words surprised both Zhang Wu and Zhang Yan, it turned out that the great immortal who was in the Zheng Mansion that day was the young man in front of him who looked to be only in his early twenties.
Seeing Zhang Yan nodding, the young man didn't say a word, stepped out, picked up Zhang Yan, stepped on the flying sword, and was already in the air in an instant.
"Big head, if you go, you have to work hard to cultivate, and come back to see it when you have time. ”
The wind in his ears was whistling, mixed with Zhang Wu's faint shout.
Zhang Yan turned his head to look behind him, the huge Huolin Town had already been hidden in the clouds and mist in the sky, and the green mountains and rivers below were also blurred in an instant, and he only glanced at it a few times, and his eyes were already full of tears, so he had to close his eyes honestly.
"Here, wait here. ”
It was only a few blinks of an eye, Zhang Yan heard the young man's still indifferent voice coming, only to feel that the soles of his feet were weak, he had already fallen to a piece of grass, opened his eyes, and was a little dizzy, this was the first time he flew at such a high altitude, his heart was surprised and excited, and his desire for cultivation was even stronger.
After a while, Zhang Yan got used to it, raised his eyes and saw that the mountains and rivers in front of him were beautiful, the clouds and mist were shrouded, the trees were verdant, and when he looked up, he could see a dazzling flying rainbow flashing between the dense fog of the dense forest from time to time.
And in front of him, there is a wide platform, where there have already gathered hundreds of teenagers of about the same age as themselves, sitting or standing there in twos and threes and talking excitedly and whispering, there are a few people Zhang Yan has seen in Zheng Mansion, and Yang Luo, who was slapped by Zhang Que in Zheng Mansion that day, is also among them.
When Yang Luo saw that Zhang Yan was also coming, he glanced at Zhang Yan with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
In front of the group of teenagers, there were five young men standing with sneers or indifferent expressions on their faces......
At this moment, a flying rainbow swept from the top of the mountain, and in an instant, it was already standing in front of everyone, and an invisible coercion came instantly, the faces of the five young people in front of them turned slightly white, and the legs of a group of teenagers in front of them trembled slightly.
When I saw the person who came, he was just a boy who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with long hair tied up high, a handsome face, a tall figure, and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The young man waved his sleeves, and the coercion instantly receded like a tide.
"Second Senior Brother!" The five people who were originally standing in front of the group of teenagers saw the young man clearly, and they immediately looked surprised, but they all shouted respectfully.
"Junior disciples, don't be polite, Elder Li has something to do today, and I will personally preside over today's assessment. Seeing the confusion on the faces of the five people, the young man who was called the second senior brother explained, and the next moment he turned to face the group of teenagers in front of him, "Okay, everyone is here, let's conduct an assessment, the first item is to see if you have a spiritual root, if you have a spiritual root, you can directly avoid the later assessment, and now you can line up one by one." ”
Zhang Yan got up and walked onto the platform and followed behind everyone.
Seeing Zhang Yan carrying a tattered umbrella behind him, a group of teenagers were curious, and they didn't understand why they were still carrying a broken umbrella since they could enter the immortal family's apprenticeship, but they just glanced at it curiously, and everyone withdrew their gaze.
The most important thing at the moment is this first level of assessment, although many teenagers don't understand what a spiritual root is, but when they saw that five people in a row were judged to be unqualified without spiritual roots, a group of teenagers began to get nervous.
“...... Unqualified. ”
"If you have a spiritual root, go to the right and stand up. ”
Finally, when it was the turn of the tenth boy, he was found to have a spiritual root, and he was exempted from the later assessment and entered the inner door directly.
The young man who was originally nervous suddenly became excited, and the pride in his bones was undoubtedly revealed, judging from the gorgeous dress, the family should be quite noble, and he originally had the capital to be proud of everyone.
This made the young man behind him even more nervous, only one of the ten people is qualified, so there are hundreds of people here, isn't it possible to pass more than ten at most.
"Qualified, single-attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, stand to the right. At this time, the second senior brother's surprised voice suddenly came, and the young man with a single-attribute heavenly spirit root was actually that Yang Luo, and several young people standing next to the second senior brother looked at Yang Luo, and their eyes became different.
Yang Luo stood there proudly looking at everyone, but when he looked at Zhang Yan, his face was full of sneers and banter.
Zhang Yan didn't pay attention to it at all, and followed behind everyone nervously with his head down, about his qualifications, the master never mentioned it, and as for Linggen, he had never heard the master mention it before.
However, Zhang Yan knew that he knew his physical condition best back then, otherwise the master would not have taught him the "Bone Forging Gong" that strengthened the body, and his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom at this moment.
When it was Zhang Yan's turn, there were already two rows of people standing on the left and right of the second senior brother who was assessing everyone, but there were only a dozen or so people on the right hand, but there were dozens of people standing on the left, Zhang Yan's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"You young man, you are peculiar, and you still carry such an umbrella. The second senior brother saw Zhang Yan carrying a broken umbrella on his back, and said with a sneer, "Come here, I'll show you." ”
"Think you can pass with a broken umbrella on your back and pretend to be mysterious?" Yang Luo said with a proud sneer.
"Quiet!" the second senior brother frowned and snorted coldly.
Yang Luo, who was still proud a moment ago, couldn't help but shudder and shut his mouth tightly, but he still glared at Zhang Yan fiercely.
Zhang Yan ignored it, stretched out his hand worriedly, and the young man known as the second senior brother grabbed his wrist, and a strange aura instantly wandered around his body.
"It's a pity, it's also a spiritual root, stand on the left, and wait for the next round of assessment. When the second senior brother put down his hand and was about to turn around, he stopped in a daze, and asked Zhang Yan with a suspicious face, "Hey, wait, have you ever practiced the exercises of forging the body?"
"No, it's just that I practiced a little bit when I was a child. Zhang Yan replied without changing his face, but he was extremely nervous in his heart, if he was discovered, it would be difficult to explain clearly.
"That's really strange, it's a pity to have such a wonderful body. The second senior brother's sword eyebrows were furrowed, but the next moment he seemed to have made a decision, and turned back to one of the five young men behind him, who seemed to have squinted his eyes all day and had broad lips, and said, "Ninth Senior Brother, you are responsible for bringing him and Erhu to Elder Hu first, he is just short of manpower on his side, let them register their status as disciples for the time being, and then enter the inner gate to cultivate if they have potential in a few years." ”
The words of the second senior brother made Zhang Yan, who had already fallen to the bottom of the valley, see hope again, and the words of the second senior brother almost changed the fate of Zhang Yan's cultivation in the future.
In the envious eyes of those teenagers who had no spiritual roots, Zhang Yan and a young man named Zhou Erhu were caught by the broad-lipped young man with both hands, stepping on the flying sword under his feet, and in a few breaths, he had already come to a valley.
The valley is very large, and there is a strong smell of herbs everywhere, and in front of the three of them, a rather tall Zhumen Biwa hall stands halfway up the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, quite immortal.
The broad-lipped young man put down the two of them, took two steps forward, and said aloud to the gate of the main hall in front of him: "Elder Hu, the second senior brother said that you are short of manpower here, and the senior nephew brought you two people, and the second senior brother asked the two to be temporarily recorded as registered disciples, and they will start here first." ”
"Huh...... It turned out to be Master Bai's nephew, and it just so happened that I had a boy who lacked refining medicine and a disciple who took care of the medicine garden, so I just used the two of them. After a while, an old man in a white robe walked out of the door of the main hall, with crane hair and a childish face, a long beard fluttering all the way to his chest, and a whisk in his hand, revealing the smell of fairy wind bones.
The old man fixed his eyes and looked Zhang Yan and the young man named Tuesday Tiger up and down, and was about to speak, but saw that Tuesday Tiger himself jumped out first.
"Elder, my name is Tuesday Hu, I see that you are the most powerful immortal here, and if you follow you in the future, you will definitely become powerful, and I wish you Fulu Donghai Shou is one step closer than Nanshan and immortal arts. "Tuesday Tiger is an obese fifteen-year-old boy, with a round face, a pair of small eyes purring, a small grin, showing a mouthful of snow-white tiger teeth, very jumpy.
"Ha Lu Ha...... This kid is quite clever, Tuesday Tiger is right, follow me for alchemy in the future, I am short of an alchemy boy. Elder Hu laughed at Tuesday Tiger's actions, and then looked at Zhang Yan, "As for you, just take care of the medicine garden in the valley, all the elixirs are planted there, you only need to be responsible for not letting the beasts break in and spoil the elixir, as long as you take care of the medicine garden, you can come to me every month to get a pill, which can help you cultivate." ”
After Elder Hu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhang Yan, and turned to the young man surnamed Bai and said, "Senior nephew Bai, you have worked hard for a trip, I just refined some Qi Induction Pills here, give you two, I think you will soon be able to break through the eighth layer of Qi refining." ”
Elder Hu said and waved his hand, and he had already sent a white bottle to the young man surnamed Bai.
The young man surnamed Bai had a happy face, hurriedly took it, and said, "Thank you, Elder Hu, if there is anything useful to the master and nephew in the future, just give orders." ”
Elder Hu also ignored the two of them anymore, and walked into the main hall with the Tiger of the Second Week.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the medicine garden. The young man surnamed Bai said to Zhang Yan that he was the first to walk in front.
Zhang Yan looked back at the hall that had fallen silent behind him, followed the young man surnamed Bai silently, and walked towards the valley.
