The necessary facilities were basically complete, and some beggars were hired to promote the event in the vicinity for three days, and enrollment began as expected.

As expected, the place was packed with people.

At the foot of the sect's mountain, Ming Xiao registered the names of the people queuing in a long line, Rong Ying and Zhao Yun Mu Yu managed the queue order, and Yan Feng measured the bone age of each of them.

They didn't set an age limit, and even men and women in their sixties and seventies were allowed to take the test. After all, even if you start learning late, you can still live longer and stay healthy, right?

The purpose of measuring bone age is to prevent some old and immortal things from cheating people.

Bai Chao, Cheng Yuanyuan and others arrived relatively early, but they could not stand the hard-working common people who came to line up before dawn, so they could only wait obediently at the back for registration.

Princess Biyun's followers wanted to go to Mingxiao to talk to let their master cut in line and go to the front, but were stopped by Princess Biyun.

After the first batch registered their names, they stood at the entrance of the first stage holding the wooden assessment signs in their hands and waited for the admission assessment to officially begin.

When the crowd was full and the barrier was opened, the daunting ladder finally emerged from the clouds.

Not to mention the height of tens of thousands of steps, just the fact that except for the front half that is connected to the foot of the mountain, the stairs gradually become almost transparent as you go up. If you are not careful, you can be scared half to death if you walk up there.

A few people had only taken a few steps when they peed themselves and fell off the stairs. The wooden signs for the test turned into transparent bubbles, wrapped up the failed test takers, and sent them back to the entrance.

The names of those who fail the assessment will be automatically crossed out and the tokens will fly back to the entrance, waiting to be distributed to the next batch of candidates.

Holding the synchronized examination list, Lu Jinchao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Without exception, they are all from Guangting Country. It seems that we need to go to other countries to study. The strange thing is that no one from the nearby villages took the exam. It seems that Wuji Sect has done a lot of tricks behind the scenes."

"A big turtle weighing eight and a half catties swallowed the weight. What a cruel old bastard." Sui Guanxian picked up a grape lazily, peeled it, and put it into his mouth: "They are just jumping clowns. Let them be."

Chitose was shocked by his sudden vulgarity: "There's something about this mouth."

"Pay attention to your image and don't speak carelessly to others." Lu Jinchao closed the scroll, picked up the outer robe beside him and covered Sui Guanxian, who was always in a state of disrespect. "Also, dress properly. It's not good if the disciples see you."

"That's right." Qiansui nodded vigorously: "As the leader of a sect, you must pay attention to your manners in front of others. It's not good to lie lazily all day long."

"It's just a gauze dress, and I didn't expose my breasts." Sui Guanxian blocked Lu Jinchao's mouth with grapes, "You all have more rules than the old maids in the palace."

Lu Jinzhao chewed the grapes for a few times, swallowed them, picked up half a bunch and ate them: "You will have to personally instruct the disciples who have passed the assessment later. Hurry up and wash up."

"I'm not recruiting two disciples, I'm recruiting two living fathers." Sui Guanxian sat up straight and stretched, "At my age, I really don't need new parents to discipline me. You can arrange the subsequent tests, I will take care of it myself."

Qiansui followed Lu Jinzhao out of the hall, still thinking: "Two living fathers? But I am not his disciple."

Lu Jinchao fed it grapes and said, "You are talking about Mingxiao, right?"

He walked to the end of the ladder and looked down. There were crowds of people at the foot of the mountain.

There were only a few disciples left in the first batch of assessments. In order to save time, Rong Ying began to call out their names: "Lin Feng, Zhao Ling, Ran Peichao, Feng Rui, Dai Haohao... the above fifty people can prepare to set off."

Concentrating his spiritual power in his eyes, Lu Jinchao swept his sight across the long queue and found Cheng Yuanyuan and the other three in the crowd. When he saw Princess Biyun, he was quite surprised and looked through the list: "I remember she was a top student at the Royal Martial Academy, why is she here?"

Qiansui pointed at the three words "Lan Yuzhi" on the list and said, "This is the name of Princess Biyun. I guess they were impressed by Sui Guanxian's divine move that day, so they wanted to come here."

Lu Jinzhao watched them gradually approaching the illusion steps where the first batch of candidates were trapped, and was somewhat curious about what kind of illusion Sui Guanxian would set up.

Unfortunately, his third eye was not open, so he could not see through those people's stiff bodies and expressions to see what they were thinking.

Chitose leaned over to take a look. "It should be a mild case of inner demons, right? Being able to overcome fear means you have a strong mind and meet the admission criteria."

After watching quietly for a while, a black-robed boy broke free from his inner demons and climbed up quickly, about to come to him. Lu Jinzhao looked at the list and found that the man's name was very old, Ye Wuhen.

Three black lines were drawn on Chitose's black kitten face: "I can't imagine how embarrassing it would be to call this person by his name after you recruit him. No trace, no trace. If you don't know, you might think it's the incognito mode of the browser..."

"It's okay. The Heavenly Stairs are just an appetizer." Lu Jinzhao closed the list, put his hands under his sleeves, and stood on the top floor with a smile, waiting for the qualified candidates to arrive: "It's hard to say whether we can successfully enter."

Qiansui circled around him a few times and said, "Do you want to recruit more people? From what you said, it will be more difficult later. But the Heavenly Stairs will screen out most of them."

"Of course we want to recruit more people, but we can't force unsuitable people to fill the numbers. Besides, this isn't just one year of recruitment, we have to open enrollment every year."

When more and more people defeated their inner demons and reached the top, Lu Jinzhao handed out tokens for the second stage to them one by one: "Keep them. Next, we need you to work in groups of ten to pass the level. You can form your own team."

"Break through a barrier?" A young girl held a wooden sign in her hand, panting and wiping her sweat. "Break through what barrier? Can you explain it more clearly, little brother?"

Lu Jinzhao: “Just follow the instructions.” He refused to say another word.

The first few people who reached the summit looked at each other and tacitly formed a group. When the tenth person came up, they quickly pulled each other together and began to study the so-called wooden sign instructions.

They looked around and touched the wooden sign, but there was no reaction. Ye Wuhen caught up with Lu Jinzhao with the wooden sign in his hand, puzzled: "Little brother, this wooden sign doesn't react, what should we do?"

Lu Jinzhao pointed at his feet expressionlessly, his eyes clearly showing "Are those two bumps under your eyebrows used to vent your anger?"

Ye Wuhen looked in the direction of his finger and found countless smoke-like objects floating on the ground. They gathered into small arrows, indicating the direction to go. He was embarrassed: "Sorry, we thought the guidance you said was a wooden sign..."

"Nothing." Lu Jinzhao waved his hand to condense the guiding mist to make it more conspicuous, and then said, "Follow me."

Seeing this, the others hurriedly trotted after him. Some thought he was young and easy to talk to, so they tried to strike up a conversation with Lu Jinzhao, but they ended up saying a lot of dry words and he didn't respond. In the end, they could only touch their noses and shut up awkwardly.

Arriving at the cliff beside the main hall, Lu Jinzhao pointed to the lush forest below and said, "We're here, let's go down."

"Go down? Where?" They looked around but didn't see any stairs, so they asked in confusion, "Are you asking us to jump down?"

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "That's right."

"What? Are you crazy?! This is a cliff!" Someone immediately backed out: "If you want to jump, you jump. I won't jump. I don't want to lose my life just for a chance to pass the sect entrance exam..."

Before they could react, Lu Jinzhao struck out with one palm, knocking them all off the cliff, and the monsters below immediately became restless.

Someone shouted as he fell, "You actually tricked living people into feeding the monsters. God will not let you go!"

"If we can get out alive, we will make your crimes known to the whole world!"

Chitose was stunned: "No, you...they...what are you doing?"

"Don't worry, the monsters below are now under the jurisdiction of the sect, and they won't really hurt them. We just want to see what they will do when it comes to life and death." Lu Jinzhao summoned a flying sword and cut the branch in half from the man who was hanging on the edge of the cliff. He watched everyone fall down with his own eyes, and then turned around: "We don't accept people who betray their companions in times of crisis."

"I understand. The first level of the Heavenly Stairs tests willpower and physical strength, and the second level tests teamwork, crisis response, and character. What if the monsters below don't obey and really eat them?"

Lu Jinchao looked at the various scents of elixir wafting from the elixir peak nearby and said, "The disobedient ones were already put into the elixir furnace three days ago."

At present, Danfeng has no disciples at all. The only one in the sect who can make pills is Sui Guanxian. Qiansui laughed dryly: "It's good to have explosive combat power... I finally know what you mean by 'giving your daughter everything you think is best'. Strength, treasures, beauty, wealth, intelligence, she has everything that the world pursues, and they are all top-notch. It's really a case of having everything you want, enough."

Lu Jinzhao was somewhat proud: "Of course, I have always been generous in raising my daughter."

"You're so biased. My daughter gets whatever she wants, but when it comes to the cat, she's not even given the cat can food she wants." Chitose turned around, wagging her tail in annoyance.

"So you were waiting for me here?" Lu Jinzhao laughed and reached out to touch the cat's back: "If you can always maintain a normal body shape, you can eat as much as you want. I won't restrict you anymore."

"Everyone likes cats to be chubby, but you're giving me body anxiety!"

"Other cat breeds are chubby and cute, but you're a Devon Rex."

Sui Guanxian packed up and walked out of the hall. He happened to see the two of them bickering. He stopped to listen for a while, then walked over in a good mood, picked up the cat and looked at it: "How difficult is it to maintain your appearance? I have a youth pill here, take it and eat it like candy."

After saying that, he took out a medicine gourd from his sleeve and put it into Qiansui's arms: "Little cat, go and watch down there to prevent any stupid people from messing around. Your young master, please lend it to me."

Qiansui looked at his host who was taken away and stretched out his Erkang claws: "Oh, no, where are you taking my child?"

Lu Jinchao rested his chin on Sui Guanxian's shoulder and looked down. All he could see were clouds of various shapes. They were flying too high and he couldn't even see the houses and farmland below. He turned his head to look at Sui Guanxian's profile: "Where are you taking me?"

"I have calculated that there will be some natural treasures coming out of the Central Continent, which will be good for your spirit. I will take you to kill people and steal treasures for fun."

His tone was so righteous that Lu Jinchao couldn't handle it: "As the leader of a sect, how can you just be a hands-off manager like this? How are you going to recruit students?"

"Hasn't the position of clan leader always been to occasionally show up and say a few words of nonsense, to be the last trump card in a fight, and to be a mascot that is rarely seen?"

"You're right. But," Lu Jinzhao covered his butt with his backhand, "Can you please stop touching my butt? You rascal."

Sui Guanxian touched it again and said, "It's soft and feels good. I can touch a child's butt, and even a tiger's butt."

"Your hobby is quite strange." Lu Jinzhao was silent for a moment: "So is it nice to touch the tiger's butt?"

"Not bad. There's a tiger in the forest below. Can I take you to find one?"

"Okay, maybe I can pick up two cubs and raise them."

"Are you not afraid that your cat will get jealous?"

"Don't be afraid, Chitose is not a pet, he is a family member."

……

Ye Wuhen fell off the cliff, and he used his luck to slow down at the first moment, and finally landed steadily. He punched the ground, and the thick soil pile turned into a soft sand pit. His teammates fell into the sand pit, and they only felt a dull pain, but were not injured.

The young man was still angry. He sat in the sand pit and took out the sound transmission stone to try to send a message. However, no matter how hard he tried, the sound transmission stone did not respond. He became even angrier. "Damn it, what a lousy sect! If my father hadn't asked me to come here to build a relationship, I wouldn't have come here! How dare you throw me off the cliff to feed the monsters? Just wait for me!"

"Be content. My family's sect requires students to wade through the volcanic lava outside the sect before they can enroll." A girl in coarse linen clothes got up from the ground and brushed off the ashes on her body. As she stood up, she exposed her burned ankles. She stood up straight, letting her trouser legs fall down to cover the scars, and then said, "Many people die every year in order to enroll students."

"That's right. Stop losing your temper here and think about what to do next. The young monk didn't say what it would take to pass."

"They didn't mention the conditions for passing the test. Doesn't that mean they just want to trick people into coming down to feed the monsters? Otherwise, how could they accept ordinary people? Have you ever seen a sect that doesn't require talent and family background?"

"Ah? Are we really here to be food for the monsters?"

Qiansui floated in the air, stuffed the anti-aging pill into his mouth, chewing it, "With this kind of character, how did he get to the heavenly level? Wait, ambition should also be considered a kind of willpower? Never mind, they are just a few kids, it's normal for them to be afraid when encountering things, I don't need to be so harsh."

Ye Wuhen listened to their chattering for a while and said impatiently: "Stop arguing and think about how to get out alive."

Before they could figure out what was going on, a few more people fell from above and hit the heads of those who were still sitting in the sand pit, knocking them unconscious. They activated the small teleportation formation in the wooden sign and were sent back to the entrance.

Bai Chao used his flesh as a cushion underneath, pushing away Cheng Yuanyuan's head that was pressing on his chest: "Oh my waist, Cheng Yuanyuan, how many pounds do you weigh? You almost crushed me to death!"

"How dare you say that! If you hadn't forced us to jump off the cliff, would we be in such a mess now?!" Cheng Yuanyuan climbed up and kicked Bai Chao: "Are you sick? What kind of good person would test his disciples at the bottom of a cliff? "

"That's how the arrow points!" Bai Chao stood up. "And look, there are so many people here, and they have tokens in their hands. Doesn't that prove we're in the right place?"

Li Xing was pulled by Lan Yuzhi and slowly landed. He shook his head and said, "Stop arguing. There are just ten people left. Let's work together to find a way to pass the level."
