Chapter 68: The Examination Begins

"Boy, the most important thing in cultivating immortals is not the natural spiritual root, nor the cultivation resources, but the incomparably tenacious perseverance and determination to move forward, it is right to be cautious and cautious in case of trouble, but when encountering a slight danger, you will hesitate and dare not move forward, this is a taboo for cultivating immortals! As long as it is beneficial to oneself and on the premise of not harming one's relatives and friends, one should be killed, even if one of his whole clan is slaughtered, and thousands of cities and thousands of mountains are bleeding into rivers, so what's the matter!

Just when Zhang Yan was at a loss, Xu Yuanzi's voice came at the right time, and his words were cold: "Do you still remember the last words left to you by your master Ouyang Fu, heaven and earth are ruthless, and all things are used as dogs, cultivators, you should go against the sky, if you want to live forever, the three thousand avenues can be destroyed! Hmph, after so many years of teaching you, you have really learned from the pig!"

Zhang Yan's originally dazed eyes suddenly flashed, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble, it was really a word to wake up the dreamer, his eyes changed back to calm, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you seniors for teaching, the kid was too persistent and drilled the tip of the horns before, I know what to do." ”

"In fact, the six major sects such as the Ancient Sword Sect, it is not cruel to screen and accept disciples in this way, it is just the survival of the fittest, competing to eliminate, although I don't understand the strength of these six major sects, but I think the strength of their disciples is the real demon compared to the so-called genius disciples of these Xiuzhen families outside......!

Xuyuanzi didn't seem to finish his words, but it had already made Zhang Yan's heart feel extremely heavy, if this was the case, then the previous cultivation was too much to sit in the well and watch the sky.

"It's just seniors, I don't know if I should join them in tomorrow's assessment, I don't think they are completely well-intentioned. Zhang Yan frowned and said.

"Of course you don't have a good heart, that's why you want to join them, since they want to use you as a shield, you have to join, when it comes to danger, you can use them as human shields, and then let them know who is taking whom!"

Zhang Yan could only smile bitterly secretly, Jiang was still old and spicy, in front of this mysterious old monster, those calculating Li Qian and others were too shallow.

As for tomorrow's assessment, it is not as simple as before, refining the Divine Dao is no problem, but entering the Troubled Water Valley, the six sects have opened the mountain gate to accept disciples, so how many children of the Xiuzhen family and scattered cultivators will have to be attracted, and at that time, in order to compete for the elixir, how many people will be red-eyed, and it will inevitably be a fight.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan regained his mind and began to meditate on refining the pills, Bigu Dan refined some in case of emergency, and the Qi Induction Pill and the healing pill were refined by him in large quantities.

He also found the elixir for refining the Hundred Zhuan Pill in the pile of elixirs he got from Xiao Du in the storage bag, a total of more than a dozen, and he failed to refine them, and he refined five of these pills.

Baizhuan Dan, instantly suppressed the injury, and the strength recovered as before, which was incomparably anti-heaven elixir.

However, the pill also has limitations, that is, it can only be taken by monks in the Qi refining period, and the disadvantages are also very big, that is, after a certain period of time, the user will become very weak, and the injury will be further aggravated, and it is not at the point of endangering his life, so it is not easy to use, this kind of pill was also taught by Ouyang Fu back then.

The preciousness of the elixir required for the Baizhuan Pill was not much more than the elixir for refining the Zhuji Dan, so in the Beiyuan Gate back then, Zhang Yan could not refine it.

I hadn't carefully checked the pile of elixirs before, but now I looked at it carefully, the pile of elixirs in the storage bag, in addition to the Ningshen Flower, Heather Grass, and Ghost Mushroom that refined the Hundred Zhuan Pill, there were also green dragon ginseng, heart-eroding mushroom, Qianjin vine, Phantom Heart Grass, Zhixue Grass, and Yunlin Flower...... and other precious elixirs, all of which are elixirs that will only be used during the foundation building period, and there are some that I don't know.

And there were two jade boxes that had never been opened, and when Zhang Yan opened them, they were two elixirs that he had never seen before, and he simply took them back and talked about them later.

After refining the required elixir, Zhang Yan cleaned up and meditated on the bedside again.

Day 2.

Zhang Yan got up early and walked out of the inn and came to the pharmacy where he bought the elixir yesterday.

Sure enough, Li Qian and a few others had already waited there, and there seemed to be one more person, a young man who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a green shirt, standing with his hands behind his back, standing beside Rong Chengxin and Shangguan Xiang, with an indifferent face, and his eyes showed an extremely proud expression.

"This guy is too fake, if you want to say cool, you can't learn a trace of the essence of the second senior brother!"

Seeing this young man from a distance, Zhang Yan couldn't help but secretly slander himself while catching up with him.

Seeing Zhang Que coming from afar, Li Qian's face was suddenly full of joy, and when Zhang Que approached, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile: "Zhang Daoyou is really trustworthy, and several of us have arrived, I don't know what Daoyou thinks about it?"

"Well, after thinking about it, I also feel that as Li Daoyou said, there is a lot of strength and a lot of danger, so I am willing to join and advance and retreat in the assessment. Zhang Yan clasped his fists with both hands and said solemnly.

"Ha Luha, this is very good, if you can pass the assessment, you will enter the Ancient Sword Sect in the future, and everyone will be brothers in the same sect. Li Qian saw that Zhang Yan also agreed to join the gang, and immediately laughed happily, and then pointed to the young man standing next to the two girls with a cool appearance and said, "This is Chu Daoyou, Chu Daoyou, this is the Zhang Daoyou I mentioned yesterday." ”

"In Xia Zhang, I have seen Taoist friends, and during the assessment period, I will have to rely on one or two Taoist friends. Zhang Yan saluted Chu Qian's shirt slightly, pretended to be honest, and spoke.

"Hmph, Li Daoyou, this is the person you said you invited to? is only the seventh layer of the Qi refining period, and if you don't know whether you are alive or dead, you just want to participate in the assessment, and join us, isn't it a burden?" Chu Tianshan didn't give Zhang Yan a good face, he directly tore his face, his words were full of sarcasm, and he said proudly.

The other people didn't look directly at Zhang Yan in their hearts, and they didn't look at it at all at the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period, but it was just for more safety, and there was more opportunity for more strength, but at this moment, they didn't expect Chu Tianshan to say such hurtful words directly, and they couldn't help frowning, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Luo Da and Zeng Yuexiong, who were standing on the side, frowned lightly and remained silent.

Just as Li Qian was about to say something, Rong Chengxin on the side looked at Chu Tianshan, who was still there boasting of being proud, a look of disgust flashed on his face, and then gently pulled Shangguan Xiang beside him with a slender jade hand.

"Chu Daoyou, this is okay, there is Xiang'er. Shangguan Xiang understood, stepped forward at the right time, smiled smartly, and said in a crisp voice, "Zhang Daoyou, don't worry, with my sister here, I will definitely not let you get hurt, let alone become a burden." ”

This series of subtle changes, Zhang Yan saw it clearly, and couldn't help but have a little more affection for Rong Chengxin and Shangguan Xiang in his heart.

"Then let's make more online friends here!" Zhang Yan looked grateful and said solemnly.

"Miss Rong, what do you think of it, it's up to you. Chu turned around and changed into a smiling face that he thought was very elegant and calm, with a hint of flattery in his words.

"Chu Daoyou, since Xiang'er said so, and we also agreed with Zhang Daoyou to invite her to join the gang, and now he agreed, if we go back on our word, this is the villain's doing, so let's let him stay." Rong Chengxin opened his mouth, his voice was like a heavenly sound, and his words were tactful, which made people slightly intoxicated when he listened to it.

Miss Rong agreed, so naturally she would not object. After Chu Tianshan finished speaking, he directly ignored Zhang Yan and stood next to Rong Chengxin again.

Rong Chengxin frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't speak.

Li Qian also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his cousin had suppressed the internal strife that was about to occur, and said with a loud smile: "Ha Luha, this is very good, it's not too early, now let's go to the depths of Fang City, that is, the depths of Xu Yunfeng Valley. ”

After speaking, take the lead.

Everyone didn't say anything more, they followed one after another, and Zhang Yan was also silent and walked behind the crowd and walked to the depths of Fang City.

Walking about half a pillar of incense exercises, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a huge square, on both sides of the square were the Xu Yun peaks that stood thousands of miles, towering into the clouds, in the depths of the mountains on both sides, there was a light curtain that merged with the mountains and forests, faintly fluctuating.

And on the square, there was already a crowd of people at this moment, noisy and noisy, and it seemed that there were no less than a few thousand people, all of whom were monks in different costumes.

There are so many people! Zhang Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath as he looked at the crowd in the square.

Several other people reacted in the same way, shocked by the scene in front of them.

"Don't look at the number of people now, after entering the Divine Refining Dao, I don't know how many people will be eliminated!" Li Qian said with a chuckle when he saw everyone's reactions.

Everyone was awe-struck, thinking of so many people, it was impossible for them to enter the Troubled Water Valley and eliminate at least more than half.

"Boom!"

An explosion sounded in mid-air, and the originally noisy square was suddenly stunned, and the pins could be heard.

Then several dazzling streamers appeared in the middle of the valley, and in an instant, they came to the sky above the square.

There were a total of four people who appeared in mid-air, standing at the front was an old man with a bright head and a childish face, his body was slightly rickety, and the whole person did not show a trace of fluctuation, and behind the old man, there were three middle-aged men in gray and black robes, with no anger on their faces.

"In Xia Jian Yuanyou, the elders of the Ancient Sword Sect, and behind them are the three deacons of the sect, who will preside over this apprenticeship assessment with me. ”

The old man's voice was deep and his words were slow, but everyone below could hear it clearly, obviously running the mana transmission, the old man paused for a long time, and continued:

"Let me talk about the content of the assessment, the first level is to walk through the Divine Refining Dao, which is a test of the strength and perseverance of the individual's divine soul, and when the Divine Refining Dao is opened, in the light gate that enters it, a divine soul shield will be blessed on everyone, and the shield can last for up to half a quarter of an hour.

"And after going through the way of refining the gods, immediately enter the valley of troubled waters, it is also the most important place for this assessment, after passing the way of refining the gods, as long as you can pick up four kinds of elixirs in it: silver heavenly fruit, red pearl grass, nine qu ginseng, seven-colored lotus, you can pass the assessment, of course, the more elixirs, the better, which has a certain effect on your future after you enter the sect. ”

After finishing speaking, the old man focused on the danger of the Troubled Water Valley, every assessment in previous years, the mortality rate reached more than sixty percent, and the Troubled Water Valley was full of dangers, and monsters were rampant.

The important thing is that there are a total of six entrances to this chaotic water valley, which are in six different sects, and every time they are opened, the six major sects will accept disciples together, and when they enter it, they will inevitably encounter it, and it is difficult to stop the fighting, and the mortality rate will increase greatly.

The old man finished introducing the Troubled Water Valley, and then said: "Therefore, if you don't want to take a risk, you can withdraw from the assessment later, if you confirm your participation, wait for the Refining God Valley to open, and enter your own information on the Refining God Tablet at the entrance of the Refining God Dao one by one." The Divine Path will only be open for half an hour, and the Valley of the Troubled Waters will only be open for seven days, and after seven days, you will all be teleported here again. ”

After the old man finished speaking, some people immediately withdrew from the crowd in the crowded square, obviously not wanting to risk their lives, so they gave up the assessment.

In just half a moment, there were suddenly fewer than a thousand people in the square, and most of them were scattered cultivators who were originally unknown.

"Buzz ......"

At this moment, at the end of the valley, the place where the streamer fluctuated, suddenly shook violently, and after a while, I saw that the place that was originally a mountain forest was instantly shattered, and a gate of light and shadow flowed, and it was so dark that I couldn't see the situation inside.

The assessment of the Ancient Sword Gate has officially begun.
