Chapter 144 The test begins

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Baiyun Temple opened its doors to accept disciples.

The entire Floating Cloud Fairy City was placed under martial law and control, and everything gave way to the matter of accepting disciples.

"There are so many people today."

Since she had already obtained a preliminary spot as a true disciple, Zhong Suxin's mentality was completely different from before and she did not feel that much pressure.

Compared with other candidates crowding on the road, his mentality is much better.

but.

The more candidates there are, the more prosperous Baiyun Temple appears, and the more important the place for her true disciple is.

As he became more and more grateful to Zhong Lixiao, his eleventh brother, he also yearned for a better life in the future.

"Baiyun Temple governs an area of thousands of miles, and includes countless large and small forces. Just looking at the momentum today, you can tell how prosperous Baiyun Temple is."

Zhong Suyun was also quite happy. She looked at Zhong Lixiao and said with a smile, "Unlike us who only need to pass the first two rounds of assessment, Brother Eleven has to go through a lot of hard work. I specially asked for a talisman, which is said to be very effective. If Brother Eleven doesn't mind, I will help you put it on."

what?
Zhong Lixiao was suddenly surprised.

They are all cultivators, who would believe in amulets from outside?
Even if it was a real talisman, its quality was too ordinary and it had no meaning to him.

but.

Zhong Lixia and Zhong Suxin were not surprised by this.

Perhaps because she was born to a concubine and had suffered a lot in her childhood, the fifteenth sister, Zhong Suyun, is somewhat inferior and is accustomed to trying to please her other brothers and sisters.

They have experienced and corrected this before, but it didn't work.

Seeing the expectant look on the face of his fifteenth sister, Zhong Suyun, Zhong Lixiao's heart softened and he said, "Okay."

Zhong Suyun smiled immediately, her face as beautiful as a flower, and immediately helped Zhong Lixiao put on the amulet that she had requested so earnestly.

After putting it on, Zhong Suyun felt as if she had accomplished some great feat. She felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off her shoulders and she felt relaxed.

Afterwards, she very considerately gave the other two amulets she had obtained to Zhong Suxin and Zhong Lixia, and helped them put them on personally.

For a moment, everyone is having fun!

Seeing this, Zhong Anhe couldn't help but smile.

The admissions office set up by Baiyun Temple in Fuyun Fairy City is located in front of a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. One can only vaguely see many stone steps engulfed by the curling clouds and mist, with no end in sight.

In front of the stone steps, there is only an archway with exquisite stone carvings, and everything else seems very simple.

But the number of people queuing up for the test was beyond everyone's imagination.

At first glance, it looks like a long human-shaped dragon.

I didn't know how long I would have to wait in line, and the line barely moved forward for half a day.

but.

All the people waiting in line did not dare to complain at all.

The parents and servants who sent their candidates to register for the exam were also very conscious of following the rules of Baiyun Temple and giving way, for fear that their inappropriate words and deeds would bring trouble to their children's application to Baiyun Temple.

As for the many candidates queuing, they are now behaving in all kinds of ways.

There are nervousness, but I encourage myself in various ways;

There are also those who close their eyes and rest, as if nothing is bothering them;
There are also those who chatter and gossip with their fellow candidates, and some even deliberately say trash words to affect the mentality of other candidates.
In short, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest.

No one knew how much time had passed, and everyone could even slowly hear what the examiner in front of them was saying.

"The spiritual root aptitude is too poor, next one."

"The meridians are injured. Next."

"Too old, next one."

"."

Looking at these scenes, all the candidates were greatly shocked.

They came to take the test with great hope, but the examiner from Baiyun Temple decided their life or death with just one word.

And the verdict is still the same. Concise and to the point!

What shocked everyone even more was that with so many people lining up in a long queue, the number of candidates considered qualified by the examiners was less than one in a thousand.

In just a short period of time, everyone witnessed the shattered dreams of countless aspiring young people.

As the team moved forward, everyone gradually understood the content of the assessment.

Under the quaint archway, there was a simple altar, and in front of it sat a middle-aged man with black hair.

He looks a little lazy and seems a little careless, but his work efficiency is really high.

Then, everyone saw a very polite young man walk to the archway and bow respectfully.

The middle-aged man with black hair didn't care, and didn't even raise his head. He just waved casually and took the number plate from the young man's hand.

This number plate is equivalent to an admission ticket and is mainly used to register and verify identity information.

During this period before the exam, all candidates can register on their own.

Obviously, courtesy and etiquette are useless here and do not add any extra points.

The moment the young man approached the archway, the many reliefs on the archway lit up one after another, and the stone mirror in the center of the archway even shone a fairy light.

Then, blue, red and black lights appeared on the young man's body.

Zhong Lixiao then realized that the first level of the test was not just about taking the pulse and touching the bones, but also about using a magic mirror to test one's spiritual roots.

Zhong Lixiao was not unfamiliar with this, as it was part of the "Spirit Summoning Ceremony".

But Baiyun Temple obviously has much more to do in this regard.

The lazy middle-aged man rarely raised his head, and his eyes became sharp. "You have three spiritual roots: wood, fire, and water. You are quite normal. But why is the earth energy on you different from what is registered on the license plate?"

what?
Not only were the young people a little confused, but even the others who were still queuing were in an uproar.

Can the test of Baiyun Temple also measure the characteristics of the local atmosphere where the monks live?

How can it be?

Never heard of it before!

But then, many people thought of the Wuling Mingjing Tower in Baiyun Temple.

It seems that this thing is more mysterious than imagined!
The young man's face suddenly changed, and he bowed deeply and explained, "Excuse me, my ancestral home is in Chao'an County, but later I moved to Hongye County to seek the truth, so I filled in Hongye County on the license plate."

The young man gave a lot of explanations.

"Humph, you're still lying! Do you think I can't tell the smell of the rich earth veins on your body that comes from the Far West Sands? You must have lived there for more than ten years."

The Far West?

Many candidates' eyes flickered.

Because there is a powerful force there, called Qianren Hall.

It seems that Qianren Hall is not on good terms with Baiyun Temple. Is this boy a secret spy sent by Qianren Hall?
The young man panicked, but he didn't even dare to move in front of the lazy examiner.

The lazy middle-aged man waved his hand and a thick wooden yoke was directly put on the young man. Even his magic power was sealed, and he collapsed to the ground.

Shortly after the young man was put in shackles, the two invigilators who were assisting in the test took the young man away.

Many candidates who were still present were all startled.

For the first time, I realized that this entrance examination to Baiyun Temple might be a little different from what everyone imagined.

Some people who have ulterior motives are sitting on pins and needles.

"next."

"Next." "Next."

In the rather depressing atmosphere, it was soon the turn of Zhong Lixiao and others in the team.

The first to take the stage was Zhong Lixia.

After he entered, the lazy middle-aged examiner took away his number plate as usual.

When the stone mirror on the archway reflected the light, blue, red and white lights suddenly appeared on Zhong Lixia's body.

The lazy examiner said casually, "You have three spiritual roots: wood, fire, and gold. Wood and fire are mutually beneficial. You can barely pass. Go and wait in front of the Questioning Heart Road."

"Thank you, senior."

Zhong Lixia breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and hurried to the stone steps at the back.

The stone steps seemed very close, but as soon as he walked in, ripples appeared in front of the steps.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixia disappeared.

Everyone then realized that this so-called path to self-examination was just an illusion, and that there should be an independent and enclosed small space inside.

The next to enter were Zhong Suxin and Zhong Suyun.

Zhong Suxin has the three spiritual roots of wood, fire and earth, and the three are mutually beneficial spiritual roots.

This aptitude is considered quite good among the three spiritual roots, and the lazy examiner was also unusually satisfied with it.

Just let her pass.

As for Zhong Suyun, her element is water, fire and earth, which is a little worse than Zhong Lixia.

"come here."

The lazy middle-aged examiner waved his hand, and Zhong Suyun immediately walked over nervously and stretched out her hand anxiously.

Lazy examiner: "The meridians are quite wide, and the true qi is quite pure. Have you eaten any natural treasures recently?"

Zhong Suyun was a little dumbfounded.

Shouldn’t we eat the treasures of nature?
Not to mention Zhong Suyun herself, even Zhong Lixiao was worried for her.

Zhong Suyun said nervously, "Yes, I ate a lotus seed."

Washing lotus seeds?

This is a good thing and is rare in Baiyun Temple.

The reason why this girl can eat it is either because she has a good family background or she is lucky.

The lazy examiner's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little hesitant.

Zhong Suyun's heart was in turmoil.

Lazy examiner: "Are you from the same family as the two people in front of you?"

"Yes, we are all from Taoyuan Zhong family."

Taoyuan Zhong family?

The lazy examiner's face raised, and he remembered the greeting from True Man Chihuo not long ago.

That’s right, this lazy examiner was none other than Master Shen Qiao from Dongfeng.

Thinking of Zhong Lixiao who was specially greeted, Master Shen Qiao waved his hand and said, "It's extremely reluctant. Go ahead and work harder in the future."

"Yes, thank you, senior."

Zhong Suyun was so happy that she almost cried.

It was so almost, so almost that I didn’t even pass the first level!
Thinking of the examiner's questions about her family background, Zhong Suyun became more determined to become a dodder!
Then, it was finally Zhong Lixiao's turn.

Zhong Lixiao walked to examiner Shen Qiao and bowed to him.

Shen Qiao nodded, waved his hand, and took the number plate from Zhong Lixiao's hand.

The moment he touched the number plate, Shen Qiao's entire demeanor changed.

Because he recognized this license plate, and it might even have been made by him.

Is this person Zhong Lixiao?

Shen Qiao's eyes were like torches, looking Zhong Lixiao up and down.

Foundation-building monk?

Shen Qiao was suddenly surprised.

Isn't this a little too young?

In that case, aren't they much worse than Prince Bao, Gu Yunting and others?

He immediately manipulated the stone mirror on the archway and shone it at Zhong Lixiao. In just a moment, Zhong Lixiao felt as if his body and mind were completely seen through.

Because of the special greeting on the license plate, Shen Qiao did not deliberately amplify the light of Zhong Lixiao's spiritual roots on his body, and even suppressed it intentionally.

This way he wouldn't have to waste his breath!

Since someone above has given a heads-up, it can only mean that Zhong Lixiao's spiritual root aptitude is probably not good, but he has a characteristic that allows Uncle Zheng Yangzi to completely ignore his spiritual root aptitude.

It could even be a supernatural power!
As a Jindan Zhenren, Shen Qiao does have some knowledge.

Even so, Shen Qiao was still completely surprised.

I saw the four colors of blue, black, red and yellow light interweaving, which was exactly the sign of the four spiritual roots.

But for some reason, there was a colorful glare intertwined with the four-color light.

What does it mean?
Is this the light of supernatural power?
Never heard of it before!
What Shen Qiao didn't know was that this was exactly the martial arts spiritual root that the magical power "Bridge of Heaven and Earth" helped Zhong Lixiao to pass on.

In addition, the earth energy on Zhong Lixiao's body actually felt like the gathering of multiple types of earth energy, and there seemed to be a faint divine light.

How can it be?

Master Shen Qiao was completely confused.

Because this gathering of various earth energies is exactly what Baiyun Temple pursues.

This is one of the core purposes of building the Wuling Mingjing Tower, a century-long project.

And this is exactly the symbol of "mountain" that Baiyun Temple is currently striving for.

The reason why Baiyun Temple and Qianren Hall have a very bad relationship is because Qianren Hall is also competing for the symbol of the mountain.

As for Yangwu Mountain, the last mountain that competed with them for the symbol of the mountain, the grass on the graves is now three feet high.

So far, he seems to have only sensed the gathering of various earth energies in the master of Guizang Peak, Uncle Xu Xuanzi.

And Master Xu Xuanzi had always wanted to take in a disciple who could inherit his unique skills. And considering that he owed Master Xu Xuanzi a favor.
Gulu!

Master Shen Qiao rarely lost his composure and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He finally understood why Uncle-Master Zhengyangzi cared so much about his disciple Zhong Lixiao!
Thinking of the favor I owe to Uncle Master Xu Xuanzi, I can only apologize to Uncle Master Zheng Yangzi.

The many candidates behind him did not know the results of Zhong Lixiao's test, but when they saw the expression on Master Shen Qiao's face, they were completely shocked for a moment.

What are the qualifications of this young man?
A natural spiritual root that could shock the examiners? A mutant spiritual root?

Or is he the master of supernatural powers?

Sensing the inquiries of the people around him, Shen Qiao quickly adjusted his mindset and said, "You have excellent aptitude and have practiced the body. You have passed. Go and ask the Heart Road for your answer."

"Yes."

Zhong Lixiao bowed, walked towards the path of self-reflection, and then disappeared from there.

Even so, everyone still remembers it.
