After traveling to the world of cultivation, I rely on the game system to survive

Half an hour later, hundreds of people who passed the first level of spiritual root testing gathered in front of the mountain gate, and those who were eliminated had already left.

Elder Xuzhi waved his hand, and the white mist in front of the mountain gate suddenly dispersed, and a continuous ladder reaching up to the sky appeared before his eyes.

"This is the Path of Self-Examination. All new disciples who enter the sect for the first time must walk up from here. Try your best to walk as far as you can." After Elder Xuzhi finished speaking, he flew away on his sword.

Soon people started walking up the stone stairs, "Let's go too." Xia Chen pulled Pei Nianyi up the stairs.

He was clearly walking with Xia Chen, but once he stepped onto the stone steps, Pei Nianyi was left alone with this long journey of self-examination.

As soon as Pei Nian stepped onto the stone stairs, he felt his body getting heavier. The higher he went, the more his feet felt like they were filled with lead. The stairs became steeper and steeper, and there was no end in sight.

Pei Nianyi walked up slowly, her clothes soaked with sweat, and she felt tremendous pressure all over her body. The girl maintained her pace at a steady pace.

I don't know how long I walked, but the pressure on my body suddenly disappeared.

Suddenly, there was a biting cold wind, and after walking a little further up, there was scorching heat that burned people painfully.

Every time they went up a certain distance, they would use a different method of torture. Halfway through the journey, some disciples had failed and had withdrawn from the Path of Self-Examination.

Pei Nianyi never stopped, but just walked up step by step.

When she stepped onto another step of the stone stairs, the pressure on her body suddenly decreased, and her body became light and full of strength.

But she stopped.

Not only her, many disciples who stepped onto this stone staircase stopped.

Some were hesitant and hesitated to move forward, some screamed in pain, and some even vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Elder Xuzhi looked at these disciples and sighed, "This illusion is the most terrifying. They have to face all kinds of inner demons, desires, temptations, fears, and despair. With each level, these desires are multiplied a hundredfold. Those with weak hearts will fall into the abyss."

Pei Nianyi was standing in front of an attic at this time. The crimson gauze covered the golden and red lanterns, and the lights were flickering. There was a noisy and playful sound of stringed instruments in the attic, and the air was filled with the fragrance of cosmetics and was infinitely ambiguous.

Pei Nianyi walked into the attic.

There are handsome men of different styles standing or sitting in the room, some are passionate, some are cold, some are domineering, some are gentle, some are innocent and cute, and some are abstinent. There is nothing you can't find, only what you can't think of.

"My dear, are you here?"

The voice was gentle and magnetic, making people's bodies go limp in an instant.

Pei Nianyi: "..."

What the hell?

These handsome guys are actually paper figures cut out from the two-dimensional world!

The domineering man is Seshomaru, the gentle man is Fuji Shusuke, and the cold man is Kuchiki Byakuya. . . .

Pei Nianyi was single for twenty-four years in his previous life. He loved watching anime, especially harem anime. Although he didn't have a boyfriend in real life, he had a few more crushes in anime.

However, this room full of paper figures was really an eyesore! Pei Nianyi simply couldn't bear to look at it.

The strangest thing is that the voices made by these many paper people are all "dubbed" in the same way.

Pei Nian felt like a thorn in his back, a fishbone stuck in his throat, and was on pins and needles!

Thinking about her, Pei Nianyi is also a good young man. After being single for so many years, the only people she likes are just a few hundred paper dolls.

Such an innocent girl, yet this illusion treats her like this.

Pei Nian sneered and walked forward without looking back, taking every step very steadily. This was a complete insult to her IQ.

At this moment, the illusion suddenly changed.

Pei Nianyi's feet, which were supposed to be on the stone steps, stepped on a wooden bridge that was only the width of a palm.

Below the single-plank bridge was a bottomless abyss. The ground behind the bridge was shaking slightly, as if some huge monster was moving towards it quickly.

Pei Nian turned around and looked at this "monster" speechlessly. He really wanted to complain, what should he do?

A huge snake made of pixel squares is approaching step by step. Yes, it is the image of the snake in the game!

There are so many horror games out there, how could this one be chosen? Is this considered a sham?

Pei Nianyi walked slowly on the single-plank bridge. She didn't care about the snake behind her at all. The single-plank bridge under her feet did not shake at all and was very stable.

In fact, this is a test of the disciples' concentration. If they do not have enough concentration during cultivation, they will definitely not be able to embark on the great path. As long as their heart of the Tao is firm, this level will be easily passed.

Pei Nianyi was not affected at all by the snake and walked across the single-plank bridge easily.

After walking across the single-plank bridge, the illusion allowed Pei Nianyi to leave this level of trial.

Pei Nianyi finally saw the end of the Road of Inquiry. At this time, there were only a hundred people left on the Road of Inquiry, and everyone was exhausted.

Su Huaining moved forward with difficulty, and the yellow-clothed disciple behind him quickly stepped forward and bumped into Su Huaining directly.

The man was of sturdy build, and Su Huaining staggered and fell at the gate of the mountain.

This collision was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Su Huaining was unable to stand up.

Pei Nianyi walked up the stone steps where Su Huaining was, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, "The trial is not over yet, we must move forward, even if we have to climb up."

Su Huaining gritted his teeth and climbed the last step using his hands and feet with Pei Nianyi's encouragement. He lay on the ground and didn't bother to get up. He just watched the girl running towards Xia Chen excitedly.

The girl had a simple high ponytail, and a strand of hair fell playfully as she smiled, passing across her almond-shaped eyes that were naturally smiling. The girl had a straight back on her slender waist, like a pine or cypress.

After two trials, only eighty people remained and became outer disciples.

Elder Xuzhi appeared in front of everyone and said with a smile, "Congratulations to everyone for passing the Sword Sect's entrance test and becoming Sword Sect's outer disciples."

"Starting tomorrow, you will go to the academy to study hard and practice diligently. If you can successfully build a foundation, you will be promoted to inner disciples." Elder Xuzhi continued to encourage everyone.

Outer disciples all study in the academy. They don’t have a master, nor do they have a separate teacher. This is the difference between outer disciples and inner disciples.

In addition to having a separate master, inner disciples also receive different resources, treatment, and status in the sect.

The strong ones are rightfully given the focus of training by the sect.

Outer disciples need more resources for cultivation, so they must work hard to enter the inner sect.

The one who sent them to the disciple room was Uncle Luo from the outer sect. Uncle Luo had average talent, so he was content to work in a good position in the outer sect.

Among these outer disciples, there are also disciples with excellent qualifications and character. He is naturally willing to spend some time to establish a good relationship with Xia Chen and others, and he took the initiative to explain the matters concerning the outer disciples clearly along the way.

The monthly allowance for outer disciples is twenty spirit stones, one bottle each of Qi Gathering Pill and Bigu Pill, and they need to complete five sect tasks every year.

If the Sword Sect disciples need additional elixirs, talismans, magic weapons or materials, they must exchange them for contribution points.

Contribution points can be obtained in two ways: one is to complete sect tasks or commissions; the other is to make contributions to the sect, such as skills obtained in secret realms, elixir inheritance, etc.

The outer disciples all lived in the disciple quarters on the hillside outside the gate. Each person had a clean courtyard, and each courtyard was less than two meters apart.

Pei Nianyi and Xia Chen naturally wanted to live in two adjacent courtyards, and Su Huaining was also pulled by Xia Chen to be neighbors.

Xia Chen decided to choose the middle courtyard for Pei Nianyi, and Su Huaining and he could choose one on the left or right.

All the items in the courtyard had been packed up in advance. There was a formation restriction in the courtyard, which could prevent people with ulterior motives from entering when the formation was activated.

There are two rooms in the courtyard. In addition to the bedroom, there is also a quiet room with a futon and a desk. It is very suitable for retreat or practice.

Although small, it has everything. Pei Nian was very satisfied after taking a look at the whole yard. He decided to stay here before entering the inner gate.

Pei Nianyi closed the courtyard door and opened the ban. He prepared the big wooden barrel and started taking a bath. After this exciting and tense day, a hot bath was the best choice to relax.

"Today's rewards are ready. Don't refuse the shining treasure." Little Daji, who had not been seen for a long time, reappeared. "Congratulations, Master, for completing the main storyline quest 1, Become a disciple of the sect."

"Little Daji, you finally showed up!" Pei Nian half-closed his eyes and lazily soaked in the wooden barrel. "The mission is completed. Can I get my reward?"
