Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 10 Ghost-Faced Spider

The Feihong Mountains are located east of Lihuomen, spanning more than a thousand miles from north to south and having complex terrain.

At the northernmost end, Outer Sect Elder Chen Tianyang put down the last Spirit Beast and said with some worry: "Senior Brother Jiang, are these Spirit Beasts too strong?"

When he came to arrange the content of the trial today, he discovered that among the spiritual beasts prepared by the sect, there was actually a ghost-faced spider in the late stage of Qi training.

If a disciple is unlucky, serious consequences may occur.

"Junior Brother Chen, I've already asked for instructions. Master Zhenren means that casualties among individual disciples are acceptable."

"Why are you so anxious? They are the future of the sect."

"How can I not be anxious? I heard rumors from the Chamber of Commerce in Fang City that the Yingyue Immortal Sect has been defeated. Maybe in a few years, the demonic disaster will reach our Lizhou."

Chen Tianyang paused after hearing this and said, "Could this be true news? No wonder there seem to be fewer caravans passing through recently."

Since a hundred years ago, there have been evil cultivators under the banner of the Divine Fire Sect, frequently active throughout the Southern Region, attacking passing cultivators.

This kind of thing is actually very normal. The path to becoming an immortal is difficult and practicing is not easy.

Therefore, there are always people who want to take shortcuts, even if it means paying a price.

Various unorthodox and even evil ways are emerging one after another, and each sect will take action to crack down on them regularly.

The Divine Fire Sect is extraordinary. Although it has been defeated many times, it will soon make a comeback, and each time it becomes stronger and stronger. Now it is even getting more and more powerful.

Fortunately, Lizhou is located on the west side of the Southern Region and is relatively barren. Logically, it will not attract the Divine Fire Sect and become the next target.

I think the real people are just making some preparations to prepare for a rainy day.

"I hope the Chen family members have better luck and don't encounter the ghost-faced spider."

Thinking of this, Chen Tianyang said hello and rushed to the gathering point at the southern end of Feihong Mountains to give a reminder.

Since this year's assessment involves actual combat, the twelve outer sect branches will not be assessed together, but will depart one after another.

On the first day, only disciples from one branch entered the Feihong Mountains.

The mission of this trial is to safely cross the Feihong Mountains, which are already filled with spiritual beasts, within seven days.

In addition, kill any spirit beasts you encounter along the way and take out the pre-placed points jade cards from their stomachs.

Disciples who obtain less than six points or fail to arrive at the gathering point at the north end of the mountain range in time will be recorded, and if they fail three times in total, they will lose the qualification to be promoted to the inner sect.

Of course, since it is a trial, there are naturally punishments and rewards.

The ten disciples with the highest points in each branch will automatically become the inner sect seeds for the new year, and can also receive additional rewards based on their ranking.

The first place prize is any Xuan-level spell, the second and third place prizes are one of three designated Xuan-level spells.

The fourth to tenth place winners will be rewarded with any yellow-level spell of their choice.

Manager Chen specifically warned: "I know that many of you have chosen Xuan-level techniques, so don't underestimate the importance of Huang-level spells."

"Spells that can be singled out and practiced specifically have their own unique features and are far more powerful than common spells."

"For example, someone who has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining can only perform the Fireball Technique according to the mental method. Naturally, they cannot compare to the Fire Snake Technique that a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining has specially practiced."

"It's no exaggeration to say that, under similar circumstances, the odds of a fight between these two are close to 90-10."

Just then, Chen Tianyang's sword landed, and he added, "That's right. As the saying goes, Dharma is the path to immortality, and technique is the sharp tool to protect the path. Dharma points the way when one is lost, and technique guards against adversity."

"These principles are all in the sect's rules. You should read them frequently and meditate on them. Now, go and prepare for your trials. Zhian, follow me first."

The disciples below all bowed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Elder."

Taking advantage of this rest time, Xiao Chen also urgently reviewed the few small spells he currently mastered.

Just as Manager Chen said, most of the exercises come with several basic spells. For example, the "Qi-Nourishing Breathing Method" comes with five small spells.

Corresponding to the five elements of heaven and earth, they are respectively named "Golden Light Technique", "Wood Vine Technique", "Hydrotherapy Technique", "Fireball Technique" and "Earth Shield Technique".

Although the effect is usually very average, for the time being, this is all the means Xiao Chen can rely on in this pseudo-combat outer sect trial.

These small spells have simple and clear effects, almost literally meaning what they say. They correspond to five common scenarios: warding off evil, trapping enemies, healing, attacking, and defending.

Each spell consumes a maximum of one mana, and you can also actively reduce the mana supply to reduce the power.

Although it seems that everyone is the same, different effects can be achieved through specific training in execution techniques.

There is a training room in the sect that is specifically used for practicing spells. Only one spirit stone is needed for three hours. Xiao Chen had been there once, but later gave up studying it.

The reason is very simple. The Hextech enhancement of the featherweight fighter is also effective for spells. At least practice has shown that it is effective for the spells that come with the "Qi Breathing Method".

In the training room, there is a refined black iron tablet that is used to test the fireball technique many times.

This was Xiao Chen's first and only time, so he naturally gave it his all. As a result, a big hole was burned in the refined black iron stele that could withstand thousands of attacks.

This is quite embarrassing and it seems like damage to public facilities.

So Xiao Chen didn't even try the next spell and just turned around and ran away.

The amazing thing is that afterwards no disciple came to ask for compensation or to inform him of the compensation, and the matter just passed.

Xiao Chen didn't know that the disciple in charge of the inspection that day only thought about it for a quarter of an hour and naturally concluded that there was a problem with the quality of the refined black iron tablet itself.

After all, this is a new stele that was replaced only a month ago. How could it be broken by a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage?

Therefore, Xiao Chen is actually very confident in the power of his spells.

Whether it is through fighting in the ring or such actual combat simulation, he is quite confident.

He even hoped in his heart that this assessment would be more difficult, otherwise it would be difficult to widen the gap between him and the other disciples.

The disciples of the second branch would not set off until the next day, so Xiao Chen had a good sleep.

When they gathered the next morning, he realized that several of his fellow apprentices looked tired and obviously had not slept well.

"Senior Brother Xiao, you don't seem nervous at all. I only slept for two hours last night."

"Junior Brother Liu, you've always been an expert in fighting techniques, so why are you worried?"

Junior Brother Liu, who had spoken to me, also chose to plant spiritual fields. Their spiritual fields were next to each other, and they met every day, so they gradually became more familiar with each other.

Normally, Junior Brother Liu really likes to find someone to fight with and train with. He has invited Xiao Chen many times, and even though he has been declined, he still invites him whenever he has time.

Logically speaking, he should be more confident in such a confrontation.

Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Liu leaned forward and said, "This time, the points for the spirit beasts are calculated based on their cultivation level. If you want to get six points, you must kill a spirit beast at the sixth level of Qi Refining."

He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that a junior fellow from the first branch got into trouble."

Ok?
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Could it be that the sect wanted them to compete against each other on the same level?

He originally thought that the sect would only capture a few spirit beasts at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

But judging from this, it seems that there is already a spiritual beast at the sixth level of Qi Refining in the Feihong Mountains.

The news was soon confirmed.

At three quarters past noon, Manager Chen summoned all the disciples of the second branch with a serious face.

"This trial is somewhat dangerous. If anyone doesn't want to participate, they can come to me within an hour to withdraw."

"Perhaps some of you have already heard about this. I won't hide it from you. Yesterday, a disciple from one of the branch schools who entered the mountains encountered an accident."

"A disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining was seriously injured and was rescued by Elder Jiang. There was also a new disciple at the fourth level of Qi Refining who encountered a ghost-faced spider..."

Manager Chen paused for three breaths.

"Confirmed dead!"
