[Xiu Xian] The ninth generation

In an unremarkable inn in the east of the city, Chu Yanzhi sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed and meditated.

Different from the largest Yuelai Inn, this inn named "Youjian Inn" is dilapidated and old, and few people come to stay there.But the advantage is that there is no one to disturb and it is clean. In order not to be exposed as an excuse to stay at a relative's house, not to mention that people who practice Taoism don't care much about conditions, so Chu Yanzhi chose this place without hesitation.

The air flows along the meridians and enters the dantian, and a week of luck is over.Chu Yanzhi let out a breath of foul air slowly, and opened his eyes.At the end of the exercise, he felt that a part of the true energy was plundered before it returned to the dantian, and searched along that part of the true energy, but... still did not find the culprit!

Knowing that this was the result, Chu Yanzhi still couldn't help frowning, and it took him a long time to let go: If he remembered correctly, this strange sign came back from Daqingshan two days ago... no, to be more precise. After that, it appeared when starting a day's practice as usual.

... What in Daqingshan changed him?

After thinking about it, Chu Yanzhi couldn't think of anything suspicious except for the hourglass. ——The hourglass, referring to the huge hourglass wrapped in silver light in the mysterious cave.

That day, Chu Yanzhi clearly remembered that he was knocked unconscious.After waking up again, he found himself passed out in the place where he was picking the weeds. As for the mysterious cave, the huge hourglass... the place in his memory was only lush trees and grass!He didn't give up, but he used his spiritual sense to scan up and down several times but couldn't find it, and only after digging three feet into the ground did he give up.

Afterwards, there was a strange state of being torn apart.

Chu Yanzhi once suspected that the hourglass was real—at least he had tampered with his body.As for whether this "trick" is good or bad, from the point of view that it will only swallow one's true energy at present, the prospect is not optimistic.

Whether it's the mysterious hourglass, the strange state of true energy, or the chance meeting with Luo Yuancheng next to Li's iron shop, this life has deviated far from the established track.Of course, the previous lives had not deviated from the script, but never had it been full of such big variables from the very beginning like this time.Moreover, for some reason, the deviation in this life gave Chu Yanzhi a sense of crisis that "the mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building".

Forget it, until now, we can only take one step at a time!

Just as he was thinking, there was a commotion outside the inn.Chu Yanzhi glanced out the window: the sky is already bright.

——The Zichen Sect's entrance examination is finally about to begin!

After brushing off the dust that didn't exist on his body, Chu Yan jumped up, pushed open the door and walked towards the assessment site.

……

After a stick of incense, Chu Yanzhi rushed to the assessment site and found that the central square was already crowded with people.After meeting up with the people from Chu Family Village, after waiting for about half an hour, several people in purple clothes that Chu Yanzhi was familiar with arrived in a boat from the clouds. —— Duan Qijun and Xu Yuan, the examiners of Zichenzong, have arrived!

In Zichenzong, different disciples wear different clothes according to their identities. According to peripheral disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples and true disciples, they are gray clothes, green clothes, blue clothes and purple clothes respectively.The disciples under the sect can be sent out to accept apprentices at the later stage of Jindan, and another mountain is set up, and they can dress freely at that time.This time, Duan Qijun and Xu Yuan, who came to Chu City to replace Zi Chenzong's apprentices, are true disciples. Although their cultivation is only at the late stage of foundation establishment, a small assessment is enough.

The first level of the assessment is to test the spirit root.

Duan Qijun took out a crystal ball and explained some rules, nothing more than pressing his hand on it, judging the bone root talent according to the color and thickness of the crystal ball.After the rules were read out, Duan Qijun asked the children who had quotas to come forward for the test in order of their quotas.

Soon, the test results came out: Chu Xiaowu is the master of the water double spirit root, Chu Mengjiao is the master of the gold three spirit root, Luo Yuancheng is the master of the gold three spirit root, and he is the master of the thunder four spirit root.Of the more than 400 children in the same period, there were only seventy or eighty left, which were divided into left and right piles.There are about 2 children in the pile on the left, including 11 children with double spiritual roots, 18 children with three spiritual roots, 6 children with four spiritual roots, and [-] children with five spiritual roots.The pile on the right is the children who have been declared "qualified". ——There is no slight difference from the memory.

The second level of assessment is set for those children who are inferior, that is, children whose five spiritual roots are not counted, and who barely have some spiritual root energy (that is, their spiritual roots are scattered but not condensed).The path of cultivation, the wealth of legal couples, in addition to bone-root talent, there are also many factors such as character, chance, etc., this test is to examine the character of those disciples.The method of assessment is nothing more than setting up a formation with a formation plate, allowing those children with spiritual roots to enter the formation, then activate the formation, and persist for more than three sticks of incense to be considered qualified.Qualified children can become peripheral disciples.

The difference between peripheral disciples and outer disciples is as big as a gulf. The word "door" stands for Zichenzong. Although the peripheral disciples added the word "disciple", they were actually not recognized by the sect at all.Peripheral disciples can only be promoted to outer disciples on the premise that they have achieved success in cultivation and obtained corresponding rankings in the Grand Competition. The same is true for outer disciples promoted to inner disciples and inner disciples promoted to core.

Only those who are strong enough can get the corresponding status and treatment!

Not only the Zichen Sect, but also the Jingyuan Continent, the whole world is interpreting the naked law of survival... From the moment he was deprived of his bone root talent, every time he reincarnated, Chu Yanzhi realized more clearly This is the eternal truth.

Chu Yanzhi stood there silently, watching the children in the formation give up one after another—they couldn't bear to give up after only a little pressure.These are usually pampered by the family, but those children from poor families, or those who really understand that only cultivating immortals can change themselves, so they really persist.His gaze finally landed on a corner on the left side of the formation. A young man in a brown shirt was dripping with sweat on his forehead. His whole body was precarious, but his eyes were full of persistence.

If he remembers correctly, the boy's name is Situ Ji, and he is the illegitimate son of the current head of the Situ family of Tiansheng who was left behind.

Chu Yanzhi knew this secret because of the disputes he occasionally heard in the grove where he was practicing in the fifth life.In the eighth generation, another incident that shocked the entire Zichen Sect happened: Situ Lan (the first heir of the Situ family) forced the Zichen Sect to surrender Situ Ji, the traitor of the Situ family.Chu Yanzhi didn't know the reason very well. He only knew that in the end Situ Ji suddenly broke out at the middle stage of Golden Core, forcing Situ Lan, who was at the early stage of Golden Core, to retreat.It is said that Situ Ji got some kind of adventure.

Of course, this is something.Right now, what Chu Yanzhi is pondering is, should he make friends with the boy as soon as possible?

After pondering for a long time, seeing that there were only 4 peripheral disciples left as in his memory—including Situ Ji, Chu Yanzhi still decided to let nature take its course.

After the entrance examination, Zi Chenzong gave each selected disciple three days to go home to pack up things and bid farewell to their parents. Three days later, Duan Qijun and Xu Yuan took them to the sect.Considering that it would not be easy to go back in three days, the three children in Chujia Village did not go back to the village to say goodbye. They only asked Chu Luo to bring a message back and say that once they entered the sect and settled down, they would go home to visit their parents. ——According to the regulations of Zichenzong, new disciples have the opportunity to go home and visit their relatives twice a year.

……

Three days passed in a flash, Zi Chenzong.

Except for the two Shuanglinggen who were accepted as disciples by two uncles respectively and directly became inner disciples, the rest are all outer disciples.Although they are both outer sect disciples, San Linggen lives in the bamboo house of Zixia Peak, while Si Linggen and Wu Linggen live in the stone house of Ziluo Peak. The conditions are quite simple.

Although the aura is getting thinner and thinner, the Jingyuan Continent can still be called "building a foundation and walking all over the ground, and the golden core is not as good as a dog", and those with a solid four spirit roots can only be regarded as inferior.With the talent of Chu Yanzhi's four spiritual roots, it is reasonable to say that he can only go to Ziluo Peak, but thanks to the strong Lei Linggen of the main vein of the spiritual root, he was rated as the middle and lower, barely reaching the level of the three spiritual roots, Along with a dozen other people, they came to Zixia Peak.

Zixia Peak, as its name suggests, is shrouded in clouds and mist from a distance, surrounded by fairy trees and emerald greens, and pavilions and pavilions stand upright, which is a scene of a fairy house.

With a wave of Xu Yuan's sleeve, a pure white cloud appeared out of nowhere from under everyone's feet, carrying more than a dozen people to the Zixia Peak in front of them, and soon reached a row of bamboo houses halfway up the mountain.

"Everyone chooses a room." Xu Yuan put away the Baiyun magic weapon, took out a handful of token-like things from the storage bag, and threw them to everyone one by one, "This is your identity plate, dripped with blood Acknowledge the Lord. Throw the nameplate to the selected house, and the ban outside the bamboo house will record your information. Each bamboo house has a futon, a Tsing Yi representing the disciples of the outer sect, and a storage bag. There is a bottle of three bigu pills, three low-grade spirit stones, and a book of basic exercises "Zichen Practicing Qi Jue". Bigu pills and low-grade spirit stones are the monthly treatment for outer disciples, and they have been distributed to you for the first month Yes, starting from next month, you need to go to the Foreign Affairs Office to get it yourself. In addition, every outer disciple can go to the Cang Gong Building to receive a low-level exercise for free..."

Seeing that the new disciples were listening to his words seriously, Xu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and finally concluded: "Okay, I have finished what I need to say, and now you can choose the bamboo house yourself."

"Remember, cultivation is the root of everything. It's good to cultivate and do it for yourself. This is my advice to you when I lead you in." After speaking, Xu Yuan turned around and drove away on the cloud.

After Xu Yuan left, everyone was stunned for a moment, and looked at each other for a while, then suddenly they seemed to remember something, who was leading the way, they all ran towards the direction of the bamboo house in a hive, for fear of falling behind and being picked up by others for no reason Cheap.

Chu Yanzhi watched them scramble coldly, and quickly turned his attention to the row of bamboo houses in front of him.No, to be more precise, it went past the first few houses that seemed to be richly decorated and surrounded by aura, and fell straight to the last bamboo house standing alone in the distance with its back against the mountain.

Chu Yanzhi walked straight towards the room.When they passed by a few children, they looked sideways, and when they found out that it was Chu Yanzhi with the four spirit roots, they suddenly understood, and smiled knowingly: Knowing that his talent is poor, don't dare to fight with us!Count your senses!

Chu Yanzhi just smiled and ignored it.

His eyes are firm, his expression is calm, but his heart is churning: soon, soon...

One step after another, Chu Yanzhi walked towards the road paved by the previous life for this life.
