Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

"Today's assessment ends here. Welcome everyone to join Qianji Sect. Everyone please follow your guides back to your respective peaks. I have something else to do, so I will take my leave now." After Hou Youyuan finished speaking, he rode away on his gourd.

"Farewell, Master Hou!" All the disciples bowed and saluted respectfully.

Yue Qianjun immediately ran over and congratulated Liu Xing on passing the test.

"Brother Yue, we will be brothers from now on!" Liu Xing was also in a good mood, and the result was as he expected.

"My fellow brothers and sisters, please follow me to report to the Forbidden Department!" The guide of the Forbidden Department said loudly. This time he captured more than 30 people and completed the task perfectly.

"Brother Liu, please keep this as a sound transmission note. If you have any problems later, please feel free to contact me." Yue Qianjun hurriedly handed over a sound transmission note.

"Okay, brother, I'll contact you later. I'll go handle the paperwork first. You should hurry up and cultivate." Liu Xing took the sound transmission note and told Yue Qianjun to work hard to improve his cultivation. He then left with the guide team. Yue Qianjun was as enthusiastic as ever, not looking down on him because of his poor spiritual roots and lack of strength. He was indeed a good person.

It took a long flight from the sect to the main peak, a distance not too short. Upon reaching the foot of the main peak, a large group of veteran disciples were waiting at the mountain gate. They wore the same swordfish uniforms, each with an imposing demeanor. Most were male, with only a few female. Liu Xing instantly understood. Just like the mathematics department at his previous university, known as the "Buddhist Temple," women weren't interested in the demanding math major, and the art of prohibition was a particularly demanding major. Next, the veteran disciples would guide the new disciple one-on-one to familiarize themselves with the main peak, understand the sect's rules, and complete the necessary formalities.

"Hello, junior brother. I am Huangshan. Let me introduce you to the art today." At this time, a middle-aged cultivator with a smile on his face walked towards Liu Xing. His cultivation level was the same as Liu Xing's, both at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

"My name is Liu Xing, nice to meet you, Senior Brother Huang." Liu Xing also hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Junior Brother Liu, you are really capable. You actually passed the professional assessment of prohibitions with full marks. It seems that you have studied the art of prohibitions in depth. My prohibition department has added a new powerful general." Huang Shan seemed to know the assessment process and results, and praised Liu Xing without hesitation.

"Brother, you are too kind. I have been thinking about it on my own, and my ideas are all unconventional and cannot be put on the table. I would appreciate your guidance in the future, Brother Huang." Liu Xing responded modestly.

"Junior brother, you are neither arrogant nor impatient, and have a good character. Let's talk while we walk." Huang Shan was very satisfied with Liu Xing's attitude.

"Thank you, senior brother, for leading the way." Liu Xing expressed his gratitude at the right time.

Huang Shan pulled out a jade token and cast a spell forward. The barrier automatically opened a door, allowing the two to pass through. Liu Xing looked back at the others, who were also being led into the mountain gate one after another. This showed that each peak was protected by a separate barrier, requiring a pass token.

"Junior Brother Liu, let me tell you about the sect's rules to avoid accidentally breaking them. First, you must not betray the sect, otherwise you will be killed without mercy. Second, you are prohibited from killing your fellow sect members, otherwise they will be killed without mercy. Third, you must complete the sect's tasks to obtain corresponding points for consumption. These are the three rules, very simple and clear." Huang Shan continued to introduce.

"Remember, Senior Brother Huang." Liu Xing responded.

"We in the Restriction Department are relatively free, and we usually practice freely. Those who have taken a master are inner disciples, and they will receive guidance from the master and fellow disciples; those who have not yet taken a master are outer disciples. Inner disciples do not need to be tested, and outer disciples are tested every three years. If they pass the test, they will stay in the main peak to continue practicing. If they fail the test, they must leave the main peak and go elsewhere to find a cave for practice. A teacher will give a lecture once a month, each lasting three days, mainly talking about the experience of practice and the way of restriction. If you have any questions, you can ask on the spot. The lectures are divided into Qi training classes and foundation building classes, and the course schedule will be announced in the school. Junior brother, do you understand?" After Huang Shan introduced the sect rules, he introduced the study arrangements of the Restriction Department.

"I understand, Senior Brother Huang. How can I become your disciple?" It seems that becoming an inner disciple is the key.

"Junior Brother Liu is indeed very talented and quick to understand. Generally, it is the seniors who take the initiative to accept disciples. Generally, disciples with good qualifications and high professional talents will have their masters take the initiative to accept them as disciples. Very few disciples can take the initiative to become disciples and succeed, unless they have a strong background. Junior Brother Liu's spiritual roots and practical ability are not good, so it is a bit difficult for him to become a disciple at the moment, but everything depends on man. As long as he practices hard, he will definitely have a chance in the future." Huang Shan encouraged Liu Xing with some sympathy.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Huang, for your encouragement. I'll do my best," Liu Xing replied earnestly. He hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he wasn't in a rush to become a disciple. A lack of attention would be more conducive to his free development. If he ended up with a poorly trained teacher, it would be better for him not to become one.

After a while, the two arrived at a large administrative hall. A large plaque read "Administrative Center of the Prohibition Department." The building had three floors: the top floor housed a conference room, the second floor housed the offices of the various department heads, and the first floor housed a vast hall. Inside, a massive display screen displayed a dense display of information about various tasks and rewards. The hall was bustling with activity. Huang Shan led him through the hall and directly to the registration section on the second floor.

"Oh, Senior Brother Huang, you are welcome. Welcome! Is this senior brother a new member?" The deacon on duty saw the two people coming in and hurriedly stood up to greet them. He had just broken through to the middle stage of foundation building not long ago, and he still felt a little pressured facing two senior brothers who were at the peak of the middle stage.

"Junior Brother Qi guessed right. This is Junior Brother Liu Xing here to report in. Let's go through the formalities quickly." Huang Shan introduced.

"Welcome, Senior Brother Liu, to join the Forbidden Department. Here are the registration materials, please keep them safe." Junior Brother Qi seemed to have prepared the corresponding materials long ago. He took out a jade token with "Qianji Sect Forbidden Department" engraved on the front. He quickly engraved the words "Liu Xing" on the back and handed it to Liu Xing.

"Brother Liu, please drip some blood on the jade token and you can use it. This is an identity token that can open the restrictions in various public areas and is also used to receive tasks and store points. Please keep it properly. If you accidentally lose it or break it, come to me to replace it." Junior Brother Qi explained patiently.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Qi." Liu Xing took the jade token and dripped blood into it on the spot. At the same time, he took a small storage bag handed over by Junior Brother Qi. He glanced at it and saw several sets of clothes and five medium-grade spirit stones. The Qianji Sect was indeed rich, giving such a large benefit to new members.

"Junior Brother Qi, we have to go somewhere else, so we'll take our leave first." Huang Shan took Liu Xing out of the office after he saw that the work was done.

"Goodbye, senior brothers." Junior Brother Qi stood up and respectfully saw the two off.

The two of them returned to the lobby, where Senior Brother Huang gave him a detailed introduction to the hall, a place they would frequent in the future. Posting a mission required going to the Mission Posting Center on the second floor. Accepting a mission was even simpler; all they had to do was use their identity jade token to chant a spell directed at the mission. Liu Xing memorized all these details.
