[Rebirth] Brother, let me go to your bowl

"Assessment? What's the difference?" Ye Yan asked curiously.

There was an assessment in March in the outer mountains, and he and Zhou Zixue also met once in the past six months. The three elders who came to the assessment were the three elders in the mountains, but they were only asked if they were diligent and tireless, so they let them go.

At this time, Zhou Zixue had finished washing, and ran to Ye Yan's side, obediently listening to Xiao Mingzhe.

Xiao Mingzhe looked at Zhou Zixue first, and asked, "It's been half a year since I started, have you ever made a breakthrough?"

"Breakthrough to the first level of cultivation last month." Zhou Zixue replied obediently, still a little worried, "Brother, am I too slow?"

Comparing himself with Ye Yan, he felt that he was far inferior to Ye Yan regardless of his understanding and talent, so he had doubled his efforts in cultivation, but still felt insufficient.

Xiao Mingzhe shook his head and said, "No. This entry has surpassed others by a lot. Entraining Qi is the foundation of practice, so you need to be careful." After speaking, he glared at Ye Yan, who received an embarrassed smile from Ye Yan.

Although Ye Yan broke through earlier, he has been stabilizing his realm for half a year, so his current cultivation base is almost the same as Zhou Zixue's.He knew he was messing around, so he lowered his head obediently.

Xiao Mingzhe continued to look at Zhou Zixue, and said, "You have already made a breakthrough, and you must have completed the exercises in the general part of Suhualu."

"Yes." Zhou Zixue nodded.

"So, have you ever thought about which exercise to practice in the future?" Xiao Mingzhe asked.

The original chapter of Suhualu is not suitable for ordinary disciples to practice, so after the general outline, four sets of different exercises were added by the masters of the past, called "Sword, Qi, Shu, Tao". The "Sword Department" is to practice swordsmanship; the "Qi Department" focuses on refining body and Qi, not actual combat; It is the content of controlling and refining magic weapons.

The four exercises have their own characteristics, and each one is extensive and profound. Because one person's energy is limited, Suhua's disciples can only choose one of them as the main practice.When Xiao Mingzhe asked today, he was asking about Zhou Zixue's future choices.

Zhou Zixue lowered her head and meditated, then looked at Xiao Mingzhe after a while, with burning eyes, and replied: "Brother, I want to practice sword."

"...The road to sword sharpening is more difficult than the other three, can you think about it?"

"I've thought about it, brother." Zhou Zixue said, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I still think that practicing swordsmanship is the most suitable for me. Those magic weapons... I don't understand."

Xiao Mingzhe nodded and said: "Your mind is so clear, it is indeed the material for sword practice. Maybe I can give some pointers in the future."

"Thank you, brother." Zhou Zixue saluted politely, and Xiao Mingzhe looked at Ye Yan again and asked, "Where is Ye Yan? Although you practice different skills, you will definitely choose one of these four directions in the future." OK."

"Me, I won't learn swords anymore." Ye Yan said.Sword cultivators are actually the group with the largest population base among Suhua's disciples, but they are also the group with the fewest top-notch disciples, which shows that it is difficult to sharpen a sword.He was a swordsman in his previous life, so he knew better that he was not a swordsman, so he replied, "I probably will learn five elements."

After listening to the words several times, Xiao Mingzhe settled down.What he was most afraid of was that Ye Yan fell in love with the art of refining and had further entanglements with the Great Elder and his party.Since he didn't have this thought, he saved Xiao Mingzhe from many troubles.

"The two guest elders don't count, the four elders in the sect, the first elder Lu Haosi practices the art of refining, the second elder Ji Tianhe practices swords, the third elder Ji Tiancheng specializes in practicing weapons, and the fourth elder is originally an elder in the sect who practices spells , but he has been wandering around for many years, so this assessment is replaced by the head." Xiao Mingzhe said slowly, explaining to the two, "Since you two have determined the direction, you only need to participate in one assessment. Only by passing this assessment can you receive the exercises required for the next practice and continue to practice."

Ye Yan and Zhou Zixue looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of tension in each other's eyes.Ye Yan is better, the exercises he will practice in the future are all recorded on the white silk.But Zhou Zixue really needs to pass the assessment before he can practice further.

"Calculating the time, the assessment will be in these two days." Xiao Mingzhe continued, "I came here this time to remind you two not to neglect your homework."

"Well, senior brother Xiao, do you know what the elders are going to test?" Ye Yan couldn't help asking.

Xiao Mingzhe shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Ye Yan laughed twice, thinking that he was really covered.Xiao Mingzhe couldn't help but be a disciple of Neishan, and he followed Ke Cheng all the time to remind him, Ye Yan felt a little sweet again.

"That's all I've said, and the rest can only be done by you two." Xiao Mingzhe exhorted, and after a few instructions, he said goodbye and left, leaving Ye Yan and Zhou Zixue behind. People, staring anxiously.

After a long while, Ye Yan slammed the table and said, "Why do you think so much? If you come, you can rest easy. We can't figure out the current situation. We can only wait until the assessment."

Having said that, if Ye Yan were to pat his chest and say that he was not nervous at all, he would never say it.Especially when he thought that he might be personally assessed by the head of the fox, cold sweat broke out on Ye Yan's forehead.He had no choice but to force himself not to think too much, and waited for the assessment to come.

What Xiao Mingzhe said was true, two days later, the master rang the bell and gathered a group of outer mountain disciples.

Luo Zhangshi, who was ringing the bell, was still dressed in yellow, with a serious face, not angry but pretentious.He glanced at a group of disciples, coughed dryly, and said, "Those who have broken through the first level of cultivation will stay, and those who have not broken through can disperse and practice on their own."

After he spoke, half of the people sighed and left in twos and threes.Among the teenagers who went up the mountain in the same period as Ye Yan and Zhou Zixue, no one stayed behind except the two of them.

Luo Zhangshi went on to say: "Those who have chosen the cultivation method, leave to practice on their own."

After his words fell, another small group of people in the crowd left.Most of these people are close to their thirties, and the youngest have passed the weak crown. They are all outer disciples who have stayed at the foot of the mountain for many years but have not yet entered the inner mountain.Most of them gave up their dream of entering the inner mountain, and instead hoped that they could stay in the mourning hall of the outer mountain and make some contributions to the mountain gate.

In the end, there were about 60 or [-] people who remained in front of Luo Zhangshi, including Ye Yan and Zhou Zixue.Except for Ye Yan and the other two, they were all teenagers of eighteen or nineteen years old.This group of people is exactly the most promising group of disciples from the outer mountain to enter the inner sect.

Luo Zhangshi's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and stayed in front of Ye Yan and Zhou Zixue for a while, obviously surprised that they had broken through their cultivation so quickly.However, the surprise on his face was fleeting, and he quickly returned to seriousness, and said: "The end of the year is approaching, and the elders of the inner sect are coming out of the mountain to study your homework. Come with me."

Among the 31 people, most of them didn't know what to do next, and looked at Luo Zhangshi blankly.The remaining half, however, have figured out the purpose of this assessment through various means.Apart from Ye Yan and the other two, there was a young man in black who stood out the most in the crowd.

Luo Zhangshi didn't explain, but led the way.Not long after, a floating attic appeared in front of the group of people, with cornices and carved eaves, luxurious and grand, and above the attic, there were three big characters "Zangjing Pavilion" written on it.

Luo Zhangshi stopped, turned to the crowd, coughed dryly, and began to explain the reason for today's test.Ye Yan had heard Xiao Mingzhe say it a long time ago, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He wandered aimlessly among the crowd, and happened to meet the probing gaze of the young man in black looking at him.

Ye Yan's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly turned his face away, but secretly kept the figure of the young man in black in mind.

"...After you enter the cabinet, you can choose one of the four passages. There are many organs along the way, and the elders in the door will conduct the assessment in the dark. You can choose an external cultivation method. As for the grade of the exercise, it will be determined by the elders who assess you." After Luo Zhangshi said the last sentence, Ye Yan collected his mind and listened attentively.

There are two kinds of exercises in the world: internal cultivation and external cultivation.The so-called internal cultivation methods, like Suhualu, are the foundation of monks' practice.However, wherever there are people, there must be battles, and the battles between monks are often more cruel. Therefore, various sects and sects have extended countless external cultivation methods for actual combat.These external cultivation methods are divided into four different grades of Tiandi Xuanhuang, accompanied by magic weapons of different grades, which are a great strength of monks.

Ye Yan was a little surprised. He never thought that the Suhua Sect would be so generous that they would also provide external cultivation methods to these external disciples.

But after he thought about it, he understood.The training policy of the Suhua Party's outer sect disciples is probably to try their best to cultivate their combat power.In each sect, there are always people who need to replace the sect to deal with mundane affairs, or to collect elixir and herbs, or to slay demons and demons for the people.Most of the outer sect disciples of the Suhua Party are of this type.Those outer disciples who have been unable to enter the inner sect to practice in their entire lives usually end up doing these things.

Their cultivation base does not have to be very high, but their combat strength must be sufficient, otherwise it will be difficult to protect themselves.Although most of them are facing low-level monsters, if they are unlucky and encounter high-level monsters, they have to escape and report to the teacher.

This effort can be glimpsed from the method Suhua Sect used to select disciples from the outer sect.

This thought passed in Ye Yan's mind, and was replaced by a heavier belief.He wanted to enter the inner sect wholeheartedly, so naturally he had to pay more attention to the selection of external cultivation methods.Otherwise, with nothing to cultivate and no combat power, everything is useless.

At this moment, there was a roar in the air, Luo Zhangshi raised his head and saw a red light flashing in the corner of the sky, he turned to the crowd and said: "The time has come, let's go to the cabinet!"

A group of outer disciples were looking at the floating pavilion in trouble, only to hear a loud noise, and the "Sutra Pavilion" floating in the air slowly fell to the ground!

Ye Yan and Zhou Zixue looked at each other, started at the same time, and rushed into the Sutra Pavilion.

Behind them, the young man in black walked into the pavilion together!

The scripture attic is five floors high, and Ye Yan and the others entered the first floor.This floor was empty, with only four gates, which opened darkly towards them.

Above the gate, four characters of "Sword", "Skill", "Tao" and "Qi" are written in seal script.

Ye Yan turned to Zhou Zixue and said with a smile, "Then, we will act separately here, I wish you good luck."

"You too, Aye." Zhou Zixue nodded and said.

"I accept your auspicious words!" Ye Yan smiled, and without looking back, he stepped into the door with the word "shu" written on it. After a while, his figure was engulfed by darkness.

Zhou Zixue took a deep breath, walked to the gate with "Sword" written on it, and stood still.

"Tsk." At this time, behind him, a person whispered, "I was preempted."

Zhou Zixue turned her head, only to see the young man in black standing in the hall with a bad expression on his face.He glanced at Zhou Zixue, then turned his head and walked towards the door under the word "Tao".

Zhou Zixue touched the back of his head, stopped thinking about it, and stepped into the dark corridor.
