Wang Ba didn't have time to think too much.
His eyes were attracted by the scene in front of him.
Outside the teleportation array is a huge stone platform with a sense of vicissitudes of life.
There are nearly a hundred monks standing on the platform. Except for some monks who are obviously wearing the Wanxiang Sect's standard robes, most of the monks are different in appearance and dress. You can tell at a glance that they are here to take the assessment.
Almost half of these people are foundation-building monks, and the other half are Jindan practitioners. Only the bald female cultivator that Wang Ba saw just now has reached the Nascent Soul level.
They all gathered around a young monk wearing solemn robes, with respectful expressions on their faces, as if they were listening to the teachings.
Wang Ba could vaguely guess that this person might be the deputy head of the Rende Palace who spoke just now, Luo Yu.
But these are not the places that attract Wang Yan.
Instead, in the middle of the platform, there stood a formation that exuded dreamy brilliance. Within the formation, there was a huge spiritual beast floating.
"Spirit mirage?"
Looking at this spiritual beast that was as big as a house, with its shell slightly opened and closed, revealing the sticky body inside, Wang Yan couldn't help but look strange.
The spirit mirage is a spiritual beast in the sea. Wang Hao has never seen it in the Chen State or the Yan State, but it has been recorded in some books, so Wang Hao recognized it immediately.
At the same time, he immediately remembered the characteristics of the spiritual beast 'Spirit Mirage'.
'Spirit mirage, long-lived, hard on the outside and soft on the inside. When young, it is no different from ordinary sea beasts. It can last for more than a hundred years. Its body is as big as a bucket. It can contain a mirage bead. It has the ability to blur in the beginning, and a single thought can make a whole city of mortals fall into it. The dream... After thousands of years, the body is like a canopy, and it can enchant the monks... After a thousand years, there will be a calamity every thousand years, from nine calamities to ten thousand years, the body is like a palace, and the Nascent Soul monks cannot escape even if they think about it, and their souls are lost. All...'
"Why... is there a spiritual mirage here?"
Wang Hao was confused.
His eyes subconsciously looked towards Yao Wudi, but he saw Yao Wudi's eyes looking away with a guilty conscience.
"Ahem... that... what a coincidence, I didn't expect that this kid Luo Yuzhong is already the deputy master of the Hall of Human Virtue..."
Yao Wudi coughed dryly.
Wang Ba was speechless for a while when he heard this.
Forget it, maybe it was just bad luck, and I met him right after I arrived.
And as if he heard his name, the young monk with a slim figure and a kind face, who was surrounded by the crowd at a higher place on the platform, followed the sound.
His eyes glanced at Yao Wudi, and then paused slightly at Wang Ba beside him.
There was a hint of surprise and intriguingness in his eyes.
Yao Wudi, who was also aware of the gaze, turned around sharply and saw Luo Yuzhong, a hint of warning suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Luo Yuzhong smiled slightly and met his eyes calmly.
He immediately withdrew his gaze without caring.
Then we chatted with the monks who came from ghost markets from various countries.
Among them, his focus was mostly on the bald female cultivator recommended by the ghost market in Yu State.
...
As time goes by, the number of monks on the platform is gradually increasing.
The three Jindan masters from Yan State around Tang Ji were already hanging out with other monks to inquire about the situation.
Tang Ji himself was also chatting with Senior Brother Ma and others whom he had met before.
Even Yao Wudi, after seeing a few familiar peers, left Wang Ba behind and went to reminisce about the past.
This actually made Wang Yan a lot relieved.
At least he, his master, is not a hard person to deal with in the sect, and he still has many old friends.
During my time in the Wanxiang Sect, even if I think about it, I won't be surrounded by enemies.
After Wang Ba met several monks who were also foundation builders but from different countries, he quickly integrated into them, chatting while waiting for the assessment to begin.
"Sigh, I don't know if I can pass the test smoothly...I heard that this test is quite strict. Only a dozen or twenty people out of a hundred can pass it." A monk couldn't help but sigh
. .
There was both longing and unconcealed worry in his eyes.
The monk's words immediately attracted the recognition of other foundation-building monks around him.
Whether you really find it difficult or you just pretend to agree.
Wang Yan didn't think much about it.
Yao Wudi and Tang Ji both had confidence in him. He felt that both of them were monks at the level of Nascent Soul Perfection, so they should not make mistakes in this matter.
Of course, Wang Yan would not stand up and sing the opposite.
He just chimed in casually.
But at this time, a cold snort came over.
"Practitioners should move forward unflinchingly and strive to be the first. You have doubted yourself before you started participating in the assessment. How can you make it to the end? In my opinion, it is better to go back home now." After hearing this, everyone suddenly looked ugly
. stand up.
Immediately, someone coughed and said,
"Fellow Taoist, we are just expressing our feelings to relieve our mood. Why do you have to belittle us like this?"
Wang Yan followed the sound and saw a person who looked familiar and looked a bit young. The figure of a young monk stood not far away, shaking his head.
"He's the disciple of Uncle Qi from before..."
Wang Yan recognized him at a glance.
But the other party sneered: "How could I belittle you? The person who just belittled you was none of you yourself." "
You! You are just like us, we are also foundation-building monks, so what do you have to be proud of? Yes!"
A monk said angrily.
"No, I am just proud, and that has nothing to do with my cultivation. Unlike you, if your cultivation is high, you will be proud, and if your cultivation is low, you will feel inferior to others. Although you are a monk, you are just a slave to your cultivation.
" The young monk, who had a bit of youthful spirit, said proudly.
Such an answer immediately left everyone speechless.
Wang Ba couldn't help but secretly cheer.
This answer is quite a bit like a cultivator.
The monk who had just opened his mouth could not refute, so he could only grit his teeth and said,
"You...dare to ask what you call your friend?"
"It's Mo Qi from Donghe County in Dayan!"
It turned out that his name was Mo Qi... Wang Hao nodded secretly and remembered. Got the name.
A monk with such a spirit and a foundation for the way of heaven, I think that as long as he doesn't die in the middle, his achievements in the future will never be low.
Mo Qi glanced around and saw Wang Yan among the monks. He was a little surprised in his eyes. He hesitated slightly, but still raised his hand politely and saluted Wang Yan from a distance.
"I've met Brother Dao."
Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid.
His own master faced the other's master, and even though he was unhappy, he could only smile in response. This already explained the problem.
When facing Wang Ba, he was naturally treated politely.
Noticing the surprised, complicated, and even vaguely hostile looks from the monks around him, Wang Yan was also speechless.
How can I keep a low profile if you do this?
He just stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person, so he could only force out a smile:
"Haha, fellow Taoist Mo is safe."
Just as he was speaking, a figure suddenly flew over from the horizon, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Soon, the figure fell next to Luo Yuzhong, the deputy head of the Rende Hall.
The Jindan Masters surrounded the two people tightly, which made the Foundation Establishment monks scattered around look surprised.
But from the side where the Jindan masters gathered, a few words came vaguely.
"Diwu Palace...selection..."
Immediately, several foundation-building monks came in to inquire about the news.
The arrival of this figure immediately attracted everyone's attention. No matter it was Mo Qi or the foundation-building monks, they had no intention of quarreling.
soon.
The few monks who went to inquire about the news rushed back happily.
Immediately, everyone surrounded him.
"The person who came just now is the deputy master of the Diwu Palace, Senior Song Dongyang Song!" "
I heard that we came here because there are so many people taking part in the assessment this time, and there is a shortage of manpower in the Diwu Palace, so I came here specifically to see if there are any. Even if there is no suitable candidate, maybe we can be selected!"
Wang Hao, who was listening carefully on the side, did not feel happy at all when he heard the news.
Instead, it felt like his head had been hit with a hammer.
Because if he remembered correctly, one of the three names listed by Master Yao Wudi at the beginning was named Song Dongyang.
Looking at Yao Wudi who pretended to be unaware of the chat in the distance, but actually glanced at Yao Wudi from time to time with a guilty conscience.
At this moment, Wang Hao felt extremely tired.
So far, there have been a total of two Wanxiang Sect high-ranking officials, but both of them were beaten by the master... They can't survive at all!
But when Wang Hao was speechless, another figure fell down.
With the experience from last time, the few foundation-building monks responsible for inquiring immediately ran over again.
After a while, these people ran back happily.
"This time it's the deputy hall master of Tianyuan Hall! Senior Guan Aoguan!"
"He's here to choose too..."
Wang Hao, who listened with his ears perked up, was relieved when he heard this.
"Fortunately, this one doesn't seem to have been beaten by the master..."
Wanxiang Sect has three halls in total. If the deputy hall masters of the three halls were beaten by Yao Wudi, Wang Yan could only imagine how miserable he would be after joining the sect.
"I hope I can be selected by Tianyuan Palace."
Wang Ha couldn't help but have a hint of hope in his heart.
Not long after, a figure with hands behind his back suddenly appeared above Pingtai.
The entire platform suddenly fell silent.
Upon noticing the appearance of this figure, the deputy masters of the three halls who were still chatting below, as well as Tang Ji, Qi Yan and others, suddenly looked solemn.
Even Yao Wudi raised his hands in salute with a solemn expression, and all of them said respectfully:
"Welcome Hall Master Fei!"
The sound of greeting resounded throughout the entire platform.
The monks who came to participate in the assessment felt so powerful that they did not even dare to raise their heads.
Wang Ba lowered his head, feeling shocked.
Become a god!
This Hall Master Fei must be a god!
To make Yao Wudi so respectful, there is no other possibility except becoming a god.
No, ordinary gods probably don't have this ability.
After all, when Yao Wudi faced Elder Du before, his attitude was not very respectful.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan felt even more in awe.
But at the same time, I was also a little confused. I didn’t know which palace this Hall Master Fei belonged to.
"Don't worry about me, I'll come and take a look. You can do your own business first."
Hall Master Fei's generous and magnetic voice came from the sky.
The deputy hall masters of the three main halls below, Yao Wudi and others heard this and acted as usual.
However, the Golden elixir masters and foundation-building monks who came to participate in the assessment still raised their heads cautiously.
Wang Ba also raised his head, but found that the figure in the sky had disappeared.
Soon, a few foundation-building monks who were more knowledgeable about things got the news again.
"That one is the master of the Hall of Human Virtue!"
"He came here this time because of that female cultivator... I heard that she was the pioneer of the Way of Fur..." There
were many exclamations and surprises all around.
Although this 'fur way' sounds a bit strange.
However, as the pioneers of a spiritual path, such beings are definitely unique in front of geniuses from all over the world.
Even Mo Qi, who was quite proud, couldn't help but look shocked when he heard this.
Wang Yan couldn't help but cast his eyes on the rather unique bald female cultivator among the crowd in the distance.
To be able to alert the master of a palace to come forward in person, one can imagine the ability of this True Lord Nascent Soul.
And faced with the looks of surprise, admiration, doubt, hostility, etc. from everyone.
The bald female cultivator had a calm face and calm eyes, as if she didn't notice it at all, or she did notice it, but she didn't care at all.
Not to mention anything else, this concentration alone is far beyond ordinary people.
Compared with her, all the geniuses on the platform pale in comparison.
At this moment, on the other side of the teleportation array, the last group of monks also walked out under the leadership of a Nascent Soul Lord.
Luo Yuzhong, the deputy master of Rende Hall who was surrounded by Jindan monks, saw this, looked around, and immediately smiled at Song Dongyang, the deputy master of Diwu Hall, and Guan Ao, the deputy master of Tianyuan Hall: "Two senior brothers, How about we start now?"
"Junior brother Luo has always been responsible for the entrance examination, so senior brother Guan and I will not do it for you."
Song Dongyang, with a gentle face, said with a smile.
Guan Ao nodded slightly when he heard this.
Seeing this, Luo Yuzhong did not refuse, but still asked for instructions loudly:
"Palace Master, everyone is here now, I wonder if..."
"You can make your own decision."
Hall Master Fei's voice came from high in the sky. .
The monks below were suddenly shocked. It turned out that this person had not left.
Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but gear up, planning to perform well.
This is a rare opportunity.
Luo Yuzhong heard the instructions and immediately said with a smile: "Everyone, let's get started." His
eyes swept over Tang Ji and others, and paused on Yao Wudi:
"Senior Brother Yao, Junior Brother Ma, Junior Brother Tang... … Why don’t you go and accompany the palace master first?”
Yao Wudi heard this, glanced at Wang Hao, nodded slightly to Wang Hao, and then flew high into the sky, disappearing for a moment.
The same is true for Tang Ji and others.
Qi Yan was also among them, but before flying high into the sky, he also glanced at Mo Qi.
The two palace masters, Song Dongyang and Guan Ao, also flew away.
In the blink of an eye.
Only the monks who came to participate in the assessment and some protectors and deacons from the Hall of Human Virtue were left on the entire platform.
As the deputy head of the Hall of Human Virtue, he does not need to personally appear in charge of the assessment.
There was a guardian at the Nascent Soul level on the side. He landed in front of the formation that exuded dreamy brilliance in the middle of the platform and took the initiative to arrange it.
"All Jindan Masters come to me and line up."
On the platform, thirty or forty Jindan Masters immediately lined up spontaneously and stood in front of the formation.
Soon, a golden elixir master carefully walked into the formation under the arrangement of the protector.
The formation itself is transparent, and the mirage within can be seen.
But when the monk walked into the formation.
The spirit mirage gently opened the white jade-like mirage shell, spitting out a dreamlike mist that quickly enveloped the entire formation.
Above the formation, the dreamlike brilliance becomes increasingly blurry.
...
high in the sky.
A palace disappeared in the clouds and mist.
Without the permission of the master of the palace, even the Nascent Soul cultivator would have difficulty detecting it.
But at this moment, there were more than ten figures sitting cross-legged in the palace.
At the top of the palace is the Master Fei of the Rende Palace.
Song Dongyang from the Diwu Palace, Guan Ao from the Tianyuan Palace, and Yao Wudi were sitting cross-legged next to Palace Master Fei.
Below are Tang Ji, Qi Yan and others.
"Wudi, aren't you always willing to participate in these things? Why are you here today?"
Hall Master Fei looked at Yao Wudi with interest.
Faced with Hall Master Fei's joke, Yao Wudi did not dare to be as bold as before in front of Elder Du, and said honestly:
"To answer my uncle, it's not a problem for me to be alone in Wanfa Lineage, so I have just accepted a disciple, my nephew. For the sake of my nephew, uncle, why don't you arrange some easy positions for me as a disciple to get some experience?" "You kid, since it's an easy position, how can you get some training
? Man."
Hall Master Fei was quite close to Yao Wudi and chuckled.
Song Dongyang below suddenly reminded:
"Uncle Fei, the assessment has begun."
In the middle of the palace, there was a spherical water curtain, reflecting everything in the formation below.
Everyone immediately looked away.
With the entry of the first Jindan monk.
In the spherical water curtain in the temple, the moment the spirit mirage spit out the mist, the golden elixir monk fell asleep directly.
Soon, bubbles appeared vaguely in the mist.
There are many sights contained within these bubbles.
Most of them are scenes of the golden elixir monk refining elixirs.
From the excitement and nervousness when I first came into contact with alchemy... to the numbness and confusion caused by long-term alchemy...
the scene in the bubble changed again.
The enchanting and naked foreign female cultivators...refining weapons...creating landscaping...
all in a mess.
The bubbles gradually disappear.
But in the water curtain, two big empty characters slowly emerged.
"Bing."
"Maybe you have some talent for alchemy, but it's a pity that if you don't have a strong will to practice, it won't last long."
Song Dongyang shook his head.
Hall Master Fei didn't say anything. He came here in person, and naturally he didn't come here for these foundation-building and golden elixir monks.
His eyes glanced at him casually, but he didn't care.
Soon, in the water curtain, the mist within the formation was quickly inhaled by the spiritual mirage. In the blink of an eye, the formation was clearly visible again, and the golden elixir master also suddenly woke up, recalling what he had just encountered after falling asleep. The scene suddenly made me feel dejected.
Soon, the second Jindan Master also walked in.
And at the same time.
The monks in the platform all looked nervously at the formation in front of them.
When they saw the fog disappear, Jin Dan, who had just walked in, walked out, they suddenly became restless.
"How was it? Did it pass?"
They couldn't see anything specific and could only rely on guessing.
However, what struck their minds was that Jin Dan, the first person to walk in, walked straight to the corner with his head down and a gloomy look on his face.
You can't leave this place now. You can only leave together after the entire assessment is over.
Seeing the failure of the first Jin Dan Zhenren, the monks below suddenly looked solemn.
All the monks who can be selected are geniuses from all countries.
Especially those who can cultivate to the golden elixir level in a small country with extremely limited resources, their will must be much stronger than that of ordinary people.
However, even so, it still failed, which shows the difficulty of this assessment.
Some monks who were still confident suddenly became solemn.
soon.
As the second and third Jindan cultivators failed one after another, everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier.
Not long after the fourth Jindan monk entered the formation.
Luo Yuzhong, the deputy master of Rende Hall who was silent on the side, suddenly turned cold:
"How dare evil heretics sneak in!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand.
The formation suddenly opened wide, and a sleeping Jindan Daoist was directly captured.
The golden elixir master suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes:
"I was wrong! Don't kill me..."
Luo Yuzhong sneered slightly: "Don't worry! I will hand you over to Shaoyin Mountain.
" Master Dan was immediately horrified!
You have to struggle immediately.
However, in Luo Yuzhong's hands, he could not move at all.
Luo Yuzhong was a little impatient, so he made a move, and the spiritual mirage in the formation immediately spit out a wisp of mist, which quickly poured into the nostrils of the golden elixir master. In the blink of an eye, he fell asleep.
After being lightly thrown by Luo Yuzhong, it immediately turned into a stream of light and flew towards the distance.
Soon, to the west, a hand that looked like a mountain suddenly stretched out, holding the golden elixir master in his hand, and then quickly shrunk... The monks who saw
this scene were shocked.
"Continue!"
Luo Yuzhong said without changing his expression.
Wang Ba below saw this and was thoughtful.
It seems that this formation not only assesses whether it meets the Wanxiang Sect's admission requirements, but also checks whether the monks are reliable.
After all, if someone from a hostile sect sneaks in, there will be too many hidden dangers.
In fact, these people did not join the sect from the beginning, but joined halfway. It is understandable that the sect takes precautions in advance.
There were four or five Jindan Masters in a row, and finally, one Jindan Master walked out of the formation with a happy face.
The monks from the Rende Hall next to him also immediately came to greet him. Such special treatment immediately made everyone guess what was going on.
The originally solemn atmosphere finally became more relaxed.
Starting from this Jin Dan Zhenren, after a few intervals, new passers appeared again.
Soon, nearly forty Jindan masters all completed the assessment.
Except for the miserable Jin Dan master who was discovered with ulterior motives, there were only eight people who successfully passed the level.
However, as Tang Ji said, none of the three people from Yan State passed.
Although the three of them tried their best to hide it, Wang Yan could still see the deep frustration and disappointment in their eyes.
This made Wang Hao, who was originally somewhat confident, feel a little nervous.
Looking behind him, he unexpectedly found Mo Qi, who was full of pride, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Wang Yan felt the same way. After all, the pass rate was really low, and it was difficult for anyone to deal with it calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang Yi, please come in."
At this time, the protector of Rende Hall looked at the group of bald female cultivators and said politely.
The bald female cultivator walked into the formation calmly with a smile on her face.
Half an hour later.
The fog within the formation quickly converged, and the bald female cultivator calmly walked out of the formation.
From her face, it was really hard to tell whether she had passed the level or not.
At this moment, Luo Yuzhong's expression suddenly moved slightly, revealing a look of surprise. He immediately looked at the bald female cultivator and said solemnly: "Jiang Yi, you have passed the examination, and due to
your special situation, Fei Fei The master of the palace has decided to personally grant you the position of 'Shaoyang Mountain Protector', and together with other protectors, you will be in charge of the first two floors of the 'Wanxiang Sutra Library'." The
bald female cultivator's face finally changed.
She showed a slight expression of surprise and joy, then bowed her head respectfully towards the sky, and then saluted Luo Yuzhong.
"Thank you, Senior Fei, for your favor."
Xuanzhi landed in a place under the guidance of a monk from the Hall of Human Virtue.
The foundation-building monks who saw this scene could not hide the envy in their eyes.
Even Mo Qi was filled with shock and envy.
And the capital word convinced.
He knew a lot from Qi Yan.
In the Wanxiang Sect, no matter what kind of monk they are, in addition to practicing, they will also hold duties.
Once you have a position, you can receive your salary from the sect.
Generally speaking, Qi refining and foundation building monks can only receive positions in the fifth division, fourth mountain, or third hall.
Some extremely powerful foundation-building monks and golden elixir monks can receive the status of elite disciples or the position of deacon.
When you reach Yuanying, you can rely on your previous merits to be promoted to a protector, or you can try your best to win the position of the true successor of the sect.
This Jiang Yi was promoted to the Dharma Protector as soon as he entered the sect. In addition to being a Nascent Soul cultivator himself, he is probably also inseparable from the fact that he opened up a superficial path.
Different from Mo Qi's simple guess, Luo Yuzhong was quite surprised at this moment.
"The palace master broke some rules this time... Ordinarily, no matter how talented he is, he must at least start as a deacon." "I don't know what kind of
evaluation can make the palace master make such a decision. "
And his doubts, at this moment, suddenly fell on the water curtain in the high-altitude palace.
The two big characters "A Shang" dazzled everyone present, and everyone was shocked.
Even Hall Master Fei, who had already had a premonition, couldn't help but look shocked at this moment.
A monk who was originally in the early stage of Nascent Soul not only opened up an unprecedented new path of practice, but his evaluation of Taoist heart reached the extremely rare level of 'Above the First'.
This kind of talent has only one thought in his mind.
"This girl has a promising future!"
Huashen basically didn't run away.
Even a higher level...maybe not impossible!
"It's a pity that she was born in the wrong era..."
A deep sigh flashed in Hall Master Fei's eyes.
If such an amazingly talented person had not been born in a world like this, his future achievements would be unimaginable...
Thinking of this, he suddenly lost interest in the subsequent assessment of the Foundation Establishment monks.
I watched a few patiently.
About to leave.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flew in from outside the hall.
"Junior Brother Du?"
Hall Master Fei looked at the unexpected old man's figure with some surprise.
"Master?"
Down in the hall, Qi Yan couldn't help but stood up in surprise and looked at the person coming.
The person who came was none other than Du Wei, the elder of the Wanxiang Sect’s God Transformation.
He looked at Palace Master Fei with a smile and gave a slight salute:
"Senior Brother Fei, haha, Junior Brother is here to bother me."
Upon hearing this, Palace Master Fei couldn't help but curiously said:
"Oh, I wonder what Junior Brother is doing?"
Qi Yan, who was standing beside him, felt something in his heart. .
I kind of guessed what the master was thinking.
"Could it be that Master knows that I have accepted a disciple and wants to find a job for him?"
Elder Du Wei seemed to be aware of it. He glanced at the spherical water curtain in the middle of the hall, suddenly smiled and raised his hand:
"Junior brother, I am here for this child!"
Qi Yan quickly looked into the water curtain, but when he saw the figure in the water curtain, he was stunned. (End of chapter)
