Master is tempting, come to my disciple's arms

What Bai Luoli didn't expect was that Yu Qiang was a vindictive and narrow-minded person. She thought that this punishment would make him reflect deeply on his own problems, but she didn't expect that his hatred for Mo Qianyu and Chu Yunze became even stronger, and he also held a grudge against him.

At the beginning of spring, all things come back to life. New buds quietly jump onto the branches, flowers and plants shyly poke their heads out, bees and butterflies dance gracefully, and streams and lakes wake up and rush.

Jiyue Mountain has its reasons for scheduling the disciple-recruiting conference at this time of the year. It is full of vitality and energy, and hope is everywhere. It will inject fresh blood into the world of cultivation, bring in more talents, give the world of cultivation a brilliant future, and make the hopes of the world of cultivation come true.

I heard that one of the best sects in the world of cultivation, Jiyue Mountain, is going to start recruiting disciples. As long as you pass the double test and the spiritual root test, you can become a real cultivator.

Many people of all kinds who come here to admire the mountain's reputation hope that they can be noticed by the peak masters of Jiyue Mountain, so that they can embark on the path of cultivation and escape from the mundane world and mortal bodies to realize their dream of ascending to heaven.

Jiyue Mountain is located in the central part of the cultivation world, occupying a large area of ​​spiritual mountains and spiritual veins. It has abundant pure spiritual energy and an excellent geographical location. The main peak stands high inside, and four secondary peaks surround it outside, guarding it like stars surrounding the moon.

On this day, according to the time on the crystal ball, it was almost time to get up, wash and change clothes. Bai Luoli took out the robe he would wear today from the storage bag.

Because of the mutated ice spiritual root attribute, the robe is white and blue all over. The white represents the clear water, and the blue represents the pure and flawless ice. The robe is made of a special fabric, ice silk, blended with Wangchuan yarn. It is as soft as silk but extremely tough. It can prevent blood stains, purify dirt, and resist external impacts. It can stretch freely with the body shape of the wearer.

The collar and cuffs of the white and blue robe were inlaid with light blue crystals. The patterns on the robe were intricate and gorgeous, like stars, shining brightly. Even the waist belt was equally exquisite and gorgeous. The flowing gauze on the outer cover highlighted his immortal aura.

A silver ribbon hair crown half-tied up his scattered three thousand black hair. The blue silk ribbons on both sides of the hair crown added a touch of playfulness to him, making him as pure and lovely as a lotus emerging from water.

Because of this outfit, everyone at the main peak of Jiyue Mountain was stunned today. Su Ziwei couldn't help but sigh, this junior brother really has a good-looking appearance. Look, even many men present were attracted to him.

Bai Luoli didn't really care about the surprised looks of others. He was only concerned about whether the two children he picked up in the mortal world could pass the test and become his real disciples.

Mo Qianyu and Chu Yunze followed the others and first faced the test of the long steps. There were a total of 3,333 long white jade steps that led from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

They have to climb up step by step. If they give up early or quit halfway, they will be considered a failure.

Jiyue Mountain has a rule that is different from other sects. That is, it does not focus on testing spiritual roots first, but tests a person's patience and perseverance. Even if they successfully climb to the top, if the later spiritual root tests are unsatisfactory, they will only be accepted as outer disciples for other purposes. Many people come here to become inner disciples or direct disciples, and the resources of outer disciples are not as good as these disciples.

Many young children, seeing so many steps and such a high mountain, felt their legs and feet go weak, their bodies tremble, and they started complaining and giving up before they even started climbing.

Some people who were exhausted and could not endure the hardship gave up after climbing just a few hundred steps, without even reaching half the height.

Not everyone can sense spiritual energy. People like them who haven't even reached the Qi Refining stage will only feel that the air here is very fresh and does not contain any impurities. There is no pungent or unpleasant odor in the air. Even just smelling it can make them feel relaxed and refreshed.

Mo Qianyu and Chu Yunze's faces turned red and they were panting heavily. A slight twist of their hands could squeeze out a lot of water from their clothes.

The two of them encouraged and supported each other. As long as they climbed to the top of the mountain and finished climbing these steps, they would be Bai Luoli's direct disciples.

Master, I will definitely live up to your expectations and take you as my teacher!

The strong desire bursting from his eyes made him seem to have infinite power, supporting his extremely tired body to move step by step, one foot at a time, gradually approaching the end of success.

"I...I can't...can't hold on any longer..."

Chu Yunze spoke with difficulty while panting.

Mo Qianyu looked back and saw that Chu Yunze had his head lowered so low that it was almost touching the steps, his back was raised high, and one hand was already on the step.

If you don't reach the top before the sun sets, all your previous efforts will be in vain.

But Chu Yunze was his companion after all, and abandoning him would go against the friendship between them.

Just when he was in a dilemma, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, holding Chu Yunze's arm and pulling him up, "Are you okay? I'll help you climb up together. We're almost at the end and can't give up halfway!"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man who was several years older than them. He was sweating profusely and his thick clothes were already soaked.

Another companion joined in, and the three of them seemed to be full of energy, tireless and fearless, moving forward courageously. When their feet could no longer walk, they used their hands, and when their hands could no longer climb, they used their hands and feet together. Even though their palms were rubbed and bleeding by the rough stones, and their knees were bruised, they still endured the pain until they climbed the last step.

Bai Luoli waited from early morning to noon, and from noon to the time when the moon was about to rise. His hard work paid off, and he finally waited for his apprentice, and they also saw that conspicuous figure.

The sun's rays have set, but the light of hope will always shine.

In the center of the square, Xu Luoge asked his disciples to count the number of people who climbed up the stairs, how many men, how many women, and how many people in total. This time, the number of people who successfully climbed to the top was twice as many as in previous years, a total of fifty-six people, thirty-two of whom were men and twenty-four were women.

After successfully passing the first level, you have to wait for the second level's spiritual root test, including the final level's illusion test.

Those who pass all three tests will truly join Jiyue Mountain, cut off all worldly ties, become a genuine monk, and embark on the long and arduous path of cultivation.

It was the first time that Mo Qianyu saw Bai Luoli dressed so formally. He had to say that his master's beautiful face was more pleasing to the eye than that of a woman.

Chu Yunze was filled with joy. He never thought that he could climb up. He was so excited.

Bai Luoli saw that both of them had wounds on their bodies, and a stream of pure white spiritual power went towards their wounds. In just a moment, they were healed as before, and the pain was gone. This made the two of them more determined to become a cultivator.

The others had already been settled in. It was late at night, so Bai Luoli asked them to go to Heshu Hall for dinner first. Apart from the breakfast, they were already starving.

After eating, Bai Luoli took them to the spiritual pool in the back mountain to take a bath. When they were all washed clean, Bai Luoli was in trouble again.

Because both children were vying to sleep with him.

Bai Luoli rejected their requests without hesitation. She didn't know how comfortable it would be to sleep alone. She could roll around however she wanted.

"Go back to your room and sleep. You will have to take a spiritual root test tomorrow. Don't be late!"

He won't call you if you oversleep, it's all up to you. If you want to be my disciple, you can't be so delicate.

Although they were rejected, the two were still very happy. Bai Luoli also took off his robe. He also wanted to rest early. Although a cultivator will not die suddenly if he does not sleep, it is up to him whether to sleep or not. If he wants to sleep, he can sleep. If he does not want to sleep, it will not matter. It all depends on his own thoughts.

Thinking of tomorrow's spiritual root test, Bai Luoli couldn't help but feel curious. He didn't know what kind of spiritual roots these two little disciples had. What if they had useless or mixed spiritual roots? In fact, he liked these two children very much. They were sensible and well-behaved. Forget it... Don't think about it anymore...

Thinking about it again, he would not be able to sleep again. He was not worried about how bad the spiritual roots of the son of luck would be, but it was mainly about that mortal child.

The more he thought about it, the less sleepy he felt. Bai Luoli turned over, his eyes wide open, and he didn't look like he was going to sleep at all.

I’ve told you not to think about problems before going to bed. Now, I really can’t fall asleep.

Mo Qianyu and Chu Yunze slept in a room each. There was nothing else in Yunxiao Peak, but there were a lot of rooms. If there were many disciples, the outer disciples, inner disciples, and direct disciples would all have their own rooms. Except for the outer disciples who had to sleep in a room with multiple people, the other disciples would probably have to sleep together if there were not enough bedrooms.

Bai Luoli never accepted any disciples because firstly he was lazy, secondly he found it troublesome, and thirdly he was afraid that his disciples might covet his talents.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never had any romantic relationships with the opposite sex, but has been flooded with romantic relationships with the same sex. Even Junior Brother Wen from Yun Weifeng was vaguely aware that he had thoughts in that direction, but he really didn't have those kinds of thoughts towards men.

Aren't his male characteristics obvious? Bai Luoli had doubted this several times before, but he couldn't be blamed. He looked a bit androgynous, and his body was not as strong and sturdy as other men. Moreover, he was very self-aware. If he really found a husband, he might be the one who was ravaged. Just thinking about it made the hair on his body stand on end.

It's not uncommon for taboos to occur between masters and disciples in the world of cultivation, but he has never heard of a case of same-sex masters and disciples being together, and he doesn't want to be the first person in the world of cultivation to deal with such a thing.
