Take your childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality

About a cup of tea later, a disciple in a white robe came hurriedly. Seeing Liu Wenwen standing in the middle of the mountain top, he quickly ran over and said.

"My fellow apprentice brother? How did you get up here? Did you come up from the Heart-Self Steps in front?" the white-robed disciple asked curiously.

"Yes, otherwise how could we get up here?" Liu Wenwen asked back.

"I never thought that my nephew would be so talented and reach the Heart-Searching Stage so quickly. I, Ji Fang, will be the deacon of this stage."

"Greetings, Uncle Master Ji, Uncle Master, I wonder how long it will take them to..." Before he finished speaking, Shen Runze walked up from the stairs.

"Arun? Why did you come up just now?" Liu Wenwen hurried over and hugged Shen Runze.

Before Shen Runze could speak, Ji Fang who was standing next to him said, "This nephew has good talent. He came up so early. Not bad, not bad." He nodded.

Liu Wenwen looked at Shen Runze: "This is Uncle Ji, the deacon of the third level."

"Meet Uncle Ji"

"No need to be so polite. In about an incense stick's time, more people will probably come out. You can sit aside and rest for a while."

"Yes"

About an incense stick later, the first person to come out was Mo Ce. When he came out, he saw Dao Liu Wenwen and the other two had already come out. He was shocked. He walked to the deacon, greeted Uncle Ji, and then went aside to rest. He no longer paid any attention to the two of them, and the two of them didn't care.

Seeing him walk to the open space next to him, he suddenly took out a round rosewood table and a small incense burner from his storage bag, and threw a piece of incense into the incense burner. The fragrance was cold, and the smell was very similar to the smell on Gu Shiyu's body. Then he took out two armchairs from the storage bag, sat on one, and left the other empty. It seemed that he was waiting for Gu Shiyu.

This kid from a wealthy family really knows how to enjoy life. Liu Wenwen turned around and looked at Shen Runze, who sat cross-legged on the ground. Oh, there's no comparison.

Another cup of tea passed and Tian Baozong came out. When he saw Liu Wenwen and the others, he hurried over. On the way, he saw Uncle Ji next to him, so he hurried over to greet him and then ran towards Liu Wenwen and the others.

"Wenwen, Arun, why are you ahead of me? I was clearly ahead of you in the first level." After saying that, he scratched his head and looked at the two of them with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't know either, but once you come up, you can enter the sect. It doesn't matter who comes first or last," Liu Wenwen said with a laugh.

Tian Baozong: "I wonder when Erya will be able to come out. Yeah, Ah Bei hasn't come out yet?"

"It should be soon."

After a while, Yan Qibei and Gu Shiyu came up from the stairs at the same time. They slowly walked up to Uncle Ji, bowed, and then walked towards their respective small teams.

"You came out really early. Have you been waiting for a long time?" Yan Qibei said, looking at the three of them.

Shen Runze: "It's okay, not very long."

Yan Qibei nodded and stopped talking, then sat cross-legged on the ground to rest.

But after a while, another person came out. He had brown wheat-colored skin and was wearing a black and red robe. He had narrow eyes, red lips, a round and cute little face, and a very cocky expression.

He walked lazily to Ji Fang and gave a very rough salute.

Ji Fang smiled gently and said, "Is your nephew Jiufang Zhuoguang?"

Jiufang Zhuoguang glanced back at Jifang curiously: "Master, do you know me?"

"Everyone knows this now," Ji Fang replied with a smile.

Gu Shiyu and Mo Ce, who were standing next to them, heard Ji Fang's conversation, exchanged a glance with Mo Ce, and hurried over.

To Jiufang Zhuoguang: "I am Gu Shiyu, the daughter of the City Lord of Fengqing City. I would like to meet Brother Jiufang. It is better to meet in person than to hear about him. Brother Jiufang is very handsome." After saying that, he bowed to Jiufang as an equal.

Jiufang Zhuoguang nodded and said nothing.

Seeing that Jiufang Zhuoguang ignored him, Gu Shiyu didn't feel embarrassed and continued, "Brother, why don't you come sit over there? We have tables, chairs, benches, and everything. It's a little better than sitting on the ground." As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Wenwen.

After hearing what Gu Shiyu said, Liu Wenwen suddenly felt as if he was talking about them. Indeed, Liu Wenwen and the others came from the mortal world and had nothing. The only storage bag they had was only filled with vegetables, clothes and the like. They never thought that it could hold things like tables, chairs and benches.

Liu Wenwen and the others pretended not to hear and continued to watch them secretly.

Jiufang Zhuoguang still ignored her. He found a quiet and empty place, took out a cushion from his storage bag, threw it on the ground, and sat down cross-legged.

Gu Shiyu stood aside awkwardly, but after a while, Mo Ce put the things over there into the storage bag and came to the side of Gu Shiyu and Jiufang Zhuoguang. Not far from Jiufang Zhuoguang, there were also two cushions. The two of them sat cross-legged like Jiufang Zhuoguang.

"Wenwen, A'run, you two came out early. Do you know why this young lady surnamed Gu is so flattering to this Jiufang? And who is this Jiufang Zhuoguang?" Tian Baozong rubbed between the two of them, hooked his hands around their shoulders, and said in a shrewd tone.

The two shook their heads together, indicating that they didn't know. Seeing that Tian Baozong had no idea about gender, Shen Runze pulled Tian Baozong's hands off Liu Wenwen's shoulders and his own shoulders, and pushed them back.

Tian Baozong didn't pay attention and was pushed to the ground.

"what?"

Shen Runze: "How old are you? Why are you still arm in arm?" After a glance, Tian Baozong came to his senses. He looked at Liu Wenwen, touched his nose, and leaned against Yan Qibei, without saying anything else.

About an incense stick's time passed before six or seven of the eight people including Gu Shiyu came out one after another. It was getting dark, but Erya still hadn't come out.

"What's going on? Sister Erya hasn't come out yet?" Tian Baozong shouted unconsciously.

Another stick of incense passed.

"My fellow disciples, the third level will end after the sun sets. Those who have come out will be outer disciples, and those who have not come out yet can only enter the menial peak and become menial disciples of our sect," Ji Fang said as he looked at the more than one hundred disciples present.

Liu Wenwen hurried over and asked, "Uncle Ji? What's the difference between us and the menial disciples?"

"Of course it's different. Right now, everyone here is considered an outer disciple. Once you build your foundation, you'll be an inner disciple. In the future, you'll be able to find a good master, and your status and resources will naturally rise. Even if you don't find a master, the resources you'll receive will far exceed what the outer disciples can compare to."

"And menial servants are one level lower than outer disciples. Not only do they have fewer resources than outer disciples, but even the spiritual energy in their caves is incomparable. Therefore, everyone wants to enter the inner gate. But to enter the inner gate, you must first hone your skills in the outer gate for ten years, or build your foundation. You are very lucky to be able to enter the outer gate right after entering."

Liu Wenwen: "Thank you, uncle, for clearing up my doubts. Uncle, didn't you say that the assessment would last for three days? Isn't today just the first day? And it's almost over."

Ji Fang smiled and said, "You have observed carefully. It is indeed three days. The longest test is the Heart-Searching Stage. The sect's outer disciples are only the batch of disciples who come before sunset on the first day. After this period, they can only enter the Menial Peak and serve as menial disciples. The disciples who come out on the third day will be tested by the sect for the fourth stage, which is a duel. The winners will enter, and the losers will be persuaded to return home.

So that’s how it is: “I’ve learned a lot from this.”

"Okay, time..." Before Ji Fang finished speaking, he saw two more people walking up the stairs.

"It's Erya." Tian Baozong happily ran to Uncle Master Ji and said, "Uncle Master, you didn't finish your words just now. Is Erya still an outer disciple?" Tian Baozong looked at Ji Fang with anticipation.

Ji Fang said helplessly: "Forget it, okay, the time is up, everyone follow me to the Deacon Hall.
