There were a huge crowd of people in front of Qingyuan Mountain. Many people from all over the country came to become disciples. The assessment included the assessment of will, root bones, vitality, etc.
"I heard that when the will is assessed, we will be put into an illusion. This level is very dangerous. Many people become fools after coming out!"
"Be careful!"
Chen Zhuang and others were discussing. At this time, a young man in brocade clothes suddenly came over and said with a smile: "It's just an illusion. What's there to be afraid of?"
"I can take everyone with me. Follow me and you will definitely get out."
After saying that, his eyes fell on a girl in Li An's group, and asked with a smile: "My name is Zhou Rudao. What's your name?"
Although the girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, she looked very good and could be called a real beauty. Chen Zhuang and his group of young people were quite reserved in front of her. At this moment, seeing this young man approaching her, their faces were not very good.
Li An couldn't help but smile in his heart. He couldn't help but think of when he entered Xuanyang Sect, it seemed that something similar happened? Mu Qingwan, who was with them at the time, also had good qualifications and was beautiful and graceful, so she attracted the attention of Zhao Xianchuan, who was traveling with them, and even caused some rift between Li An and Zhao Xianchuan...
Now all these people have gone to the ground and have long disappeared in the years, but in the long years, there are always similar young people and similar experiences.
However, this girl is probably not as simple as Mu Qingwan who can be manipulated by others. Not long after joining the team, Li An had already discovered that she deliberately hid something. She seemed to be a strange fourth-level cultivator, but in fact she was an orthodox cultivator, and her cultivation should have been around the level of tribulation.
Just like Li An back then, she also used the life-nourishing and immortal-casting technique to pretend to be a strange cultivator!
Moreover, she practiced the real life-nourishing and immortal-casting technique, not a fake skill.
A spy sent by the Heavenly Court? This is normal. Since the two sides are fighting each other and fighting, they must arrange undercovers in the other camp.
A person who can act as an undercover agent must be outstanding in mind and will, and will definitely not be a simple-minded little sheep.
However, although this person practiced the life-nourishing immortal art, Li An was not sure whether she was from the Taoist sect. After all, the current figures of the Heavenly Court, such as the Immortal Lord Changqing, the Purple Fairy, and the Red Wave Fairy, all knew the true inheritance of immortal skills.
Along the way, Li An, like Chen Zhuang and others, did not deal with her much. He did not want to have any intersection with the people of the Heavenly Court now.
The most important thing is to practice and restore the realm with peace of mind.
"My name is Zhao Yulu. Sir, you are so sure that you can lead us out of the illusion? I wonder what good plan you have?"
The girl smiled and looked at the young man in brocade clothes. Zhou Rudao smiled mysteriously and said, "To be honest with you, Miss Zhao, my cousin is a disciple of Qingyuan Mountain. He once gave me the questions. I can tell you..."
He approached Zhao Yulu warmly, but looked at Chen Zhuang, Li An and others with disdain, and said, "How about we talk for a while?"
Zhao Yulu showed a surprised and innocent expression on her face, and said, "Sir, we are all together... We are not outsiders."
When she said this, Chen Zhuang and others were happy and warm-hearted. First, Zhao Yulu, a beautiful woman, was so loyal, and second, they could also hear the questions, which was a huge gain.
Li An sneered in his heart. She obviously wanted to blend in with the crowd to avoid attracting the attention of Qingyuan Mountain.
Zhou Rudao frowned slightly, but after a little thought, he did not refuse immediately, and simply told everyone about the situation of the illusion.
Hearing about the arrangement in the illusion and the tricks, everyone was very excited.
"Next batch!"
At this time, the Qingyuan Mountain disciple in charge of the assessment at the mountain gate had already shouted that it was finally Li An and others' turn.
Chen Zhuang and others were all excited and nervous, and immediately entered the illusion!
...
And at this moment.
Outside the assessment field, a woman in a green long skirt was scanning the field with a calm expression. She had a good appearance, a bun on her head, delicate facial features that looked very cold, and a pair of eyes like a lake made of snow and water.
"Sister Xue Ning, why do you have to come in person for such a small test?"
At this time, a figure landed beside her. It was a man. He smiled slightly, "The mountain master summoned the elders and peak masters of each peak to discuss matters. You did not go, so the elder asked me to invite you."
"Junior Brother Xu Yu, there is no need to be so polite."
Gu Xue Ning said indifferently, "Our Sanyuan Valley is in the mountain, and no one cares about it. We are dispensable in the sect's major events."
"Sister, are you really not going to participate in that selection? You must know that it is an opportunity to enter Yunluo Fairy Palace..."
Xu Yu asked tentatively.
Gu Xue Ning glanced at him indifferently and said, "I heard that Junior Brother Xu entered a strange realm and gained a lot on Huagu Mountain?"
Xu Yu just smiled slightly and said nothing.
"It is enough to have Junior Brother Xu Yu represent us in Qingyuan Mountain to Yunluo Immortal Palace. Before my master died, his last wish was for me to revive Sanyuan Valley and not let the Sanyuan Valley inheritance be cut off, so I will just stay in the mountain."
Xu Yu sighed and said, "Sanyuan Valley has been declining for a long time. Since the battle four thousand years ago, Tianyuan Palace's Daluo Jinxian Tianyuan Daxian was killed by the Blood Sword Demon Lord, and his inheritance has been targeted by the enemy. Sanyuan Valley was founded by Tianyuan Daxian's disciples. Over the years, many Sanyuan Valley masters have suffered accidents. In your generation, you are the only one left. Why bother to hold on any longer? Go?"
"You must know that even in the mountain, many elders have great opinions about Sanyuan Valley..."
He reminded: "Besides, it's useless for you to stay here in person. The disciples with good qualifications will be picked up by other places. You can only be the last one..."
Gu Xue Ning just smiled and said: "Do your best and leave it to fate."
Xu Yu shook his head, "If Senior Sister insists on doing so, then forget it... However, if I enter Yunluo Fairy Palace, I will find a way to help Senior Sister."
He obviously has some admiration for Gu Xue Ning, made a promise, and then left.
Gu Xue Ning did not comment, but just looked at the new batch of disciples in the illusion.
...
According to Zhou Rudao, there are many "illusion stones" placed in the illusion. The closer you get, the more terrifying the illusion you see. However, as long as you look carefully, you can find a place where the illusion power is relatively weak, so that the success rate of passing will be greatly increased.
Chen Zhuang and others, who had come in with great confidence, were stunned as soon as they came in. They were misled by the illusion before they could find the way.
In front of Li An, there were also many illusions, but these were naturally not worth mentioning to him.
What surprised him was that he actually met the young man who entered the strange world and brought him out here...
Yes, even though he was in the illusion and far away, he heard every word of the conversation between Xu Yu and Gu Xue Ning.
Even if he had no cultivation, this body, which was not much weaker than Taiyi Jinxian, was enough to capture the information in the field with his hearing.
"Sanyuan Valley..."
Li An's heart moved. This place... sounds good.
It seems that he is not valued in the mountain. Moreover, judging from the conversation between the two, his status in the mountain should have been high. It was just because of some major changes that he declined...
This kind of place is very suitable for him to practice!
Anyway, he just needs a place to provide strange air, and he doesn't need to become famous in Qingyuan Mountain.
Thinking of what the two said, the rise and fall of Sanyuan Valley is still a consequence of the blood sword demon king's massacre in the past? He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Really, he paved the way for himself...
Feeling Gu Xue Ning's gaze outside the illusion, Li An also deliberately pretended to be entangled by the illusion.
After a long time.
Among this group of newcomers, many people were trapped to death by the illusion, but Li An stumbled and was the first to walk out of the illusion.
Sure enough, Gu Xue Ning couldn't help but look at him more. This young man had no cultivation and was still a mortal body. Just now, he walked out with great pain from the blade. This kind of perseverance is not bad.
Li An's face was pale and he breathed heavily.
After him, Zhou Rudao, Zhao Yulu and others also walked out. Zhou Rudao was also covered in cold sweat, but at this moment he forced a smile and said, "How is it? Miss Zhao, I told you, we must be the first and second..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li An, and he was shocked. Is there anyone faster than him?
"You kid..."
He couldn't help but frown, a little unhappy.
"Brother Xue Jian, you are so fast?"
A glimmer flashed in Zhao Yulu's beautiful big eyes. She walked to Li An and saw that Li An looked weak, and asked with concern, "How are you?"
Li An said, "I have a severe headache... I want to vomit."
Zhao Yulu turned his head and looked at Zhou Rudao: "Mr. Zhou, can you give some of the medicine powder that relieves headaches to Brother Xue Jian?"
Zhou Rudao: "..."
He was suddenly filled with gloom. Damn, he didn't get any limelight at all, and now Zhao Yulu obviously cares more about Xue Jian, and he has to lose the medicine powder to help his love rival?
However, he still had to be graceful. He smiled but didn't really smile, and handed a small jade bottle to Li An. Li An pretended to refuse, but Zhao Yulu forced him to drink it, and then he smiled sweetly.
Li An also showed a touch of excitement and gratitude in his eyes. Looking at her smile, he couldn't help but sway.
Her little thoughts were naturally simple in front of Li An. She entered Qingyuan Mountain to be an undercover agent, so she naturally had to build a good relationship with talented newcomers to facilitate spying in the future.
The tea skills she just performed would really be very effective for ordinary young people. Li An might compete with Zhou Rudao from now on, and thus be controlled by her.
Unfortunately, she met the tea king, Li An.
...
Soon after, Chen Zhuang and several others also walked out with difficulty. They were all surprised to learn that Li An was the first.
"Brother Xue Jian is so amazing!"
"Brother Xue Jian has not become a cultivator yet, but his concentration is already so strong. He will definitely be invincible in the future!"
"Brother Xue Jian, please take care of me in the future!"
Li An, who originally had little presence, suddenly became quite popular.
"Next level, root bones!"
At this time, the next level also arrived.
This level mainly tests the spiritual roots. The spiritual roots are the foundation of cultivation, especially in the realm before becoming an immortal. It is very important. On the contrary, after becoming an immortal, because there will be a heavenly tribulation, the heavenly tribulation contains good fortune, and the cultivator has many opportunities to reshape, so the spiritual roots are no longer so important.
Zhao Yulu has a middle-grade water spiritual root of the earth level, and her aptitude is excellent, which has attracted attention.
She showed a look of surprise on her face, as if she was very happy, and everyone was extremely envious.
Zhou Rudao also has a high-grade spiritual root of the earth level, which is also very strong.
Even Chen Zhuang has a low-grade spiritual root of the earth level, so it is no problem for him to become an ordinary disciple.
At this time, it was finally Li An's turn. Everyone looked over expectantly, especially Zhou Rudao, who looked quite nervous, fearing that he would be beaten by Li An again.
"Middle grade yellow rank, wood spiritual root."
The disciple in charge of the test announced expressionlessly, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Li An's spiritual root was so weak?
"Brother Xue Jian, the first level was obviously very fierce..."
"Such a strong heart of Tao, but unfortunately, no qualifications?"
Chen Zhuang and others sighed.
"Hmph, what's the use of having a strong will? Without qualifications, it means that your heart is high than the sky, but your life is thin than paper!"
Zhou Rudao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his previous uneasiness was swept away, with a proud look in his eyes.
Even Zhao Yulu sighed, thinking that her efforts were in vain. However, she did not show it. Instead, she came over and comforted him softly, saying, "Brother Xue, don't be sad. You can still enter the famous mountain even if you are so strong in the first level. Let's help each other in the future..."
"Miss Yulu is really kind!"
"Yes..."
Others were all emotional.
In addition to spiritual roots, there is also a test of vitality, because the practice of the strange immortal way relies heavily on vitality. If the innate vitality is deficient, it may not be able to survive after encountering a strange disaster.
In this level, Li An performed mediocrely.
Finally, the assessment ended.
The major main peaks and halls in the sect came to select disciples.
"Zhao Yulu, the ninth recruit, are you willing to go to my Qingling Peak?"
An old man with a kind face recruited Zhao Yulu, which made Chen Zhuang and others even more envious. Qingling Peak is one of the main peaks. If you enter it, you will be a core disciple with excellent treatment!
Zhou Rudao also entered a main peak ranked low, while Chen Zhuang and others were only accepted by ordinary halls.
On the contrary, Li An stayed where he was, and no one wanted him.
This made him look very embarrassed.
Finally, almost everyone had a place to go, and even the hall in charge of miscellaneous matters directly skipped him. After all, his aptitude was too poor. Even if Li An was in a famous mountain, his spiritual roots would probably only be the upper limit of the Nascent Soul in this life, and it would be difficult for him to be a chores in the future.
If he hadn't performed outstandingly in the first level and could enter Qingyuan Mountain according to the rules of the sect, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to stand here.
"Xue Jian, don't worry, maybe there will be a better place waiting for you..."
Zhou Rudao pretended to be generous, walked over and patted Li An on the shoulder, and said: "We will help each other in the future. If you need anything, come to Qingyuan Peak to find me at any time."
But the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.
Li An sighed, and his face was full of self-pity.
"Xue Jian?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and a green figure had landed in front of Li An.
This was an extremely beautiful woman, with a beautiful appearance and a tall figure, but her temperament was extremely cold, giving people a feeling of being rejected.
Iceberg beauty!
"Would you like to come to my Sanyuan Valley?"
She asked lightly.
Others were amazed.
"Which senior sister is this?"
"Xue Jian is so useless, but she actually chose him? God, if I had known, I would not have chosen anyone else!"
"Oh, don't envy me, Sanyuan Valley is the most useless place in Qingyuan Peak. If you go there, you basically can't have any future. It's better to be a chores somewhere else!"
A burst of discussion sounded.
Li An smiled slightly in his heart. Sure enough, all his arrangements were for this moment. Now he naturally showed a flattered look and said, "Disciple, I am willing!"
...
