Absolutely not my father

Chapter 56 Introductory Trial

April [-]st is Zhengyangzong's four-year recruiting day. Early in the morning, monks standing under the gate of Zhengyangzong's mountain were full of monks who came to take the exam. At a glance, there were crowds of people, very lively.

In a remote corner, a young man in blue cloth was leaning against a rock with a dusty sword in his hands, closing his eyes and recuperating.The young man's cultivation seems to be only at the eighth level of Qi training, coupled with his inconspicuous attire, if not for his handsome face, no one would have noticed such a person.

This young man is exactly Luo Jian, who specially came to participate in recruiting new recruits.

When the morning fog cleared away, a middle-aged Confucian scholar dressed as a disciple of Zhengyang Sect appeared at the entrance of the mountain. The originally noisy mountain entrance became completely quiet after the appearance of the Confucian scholar.

Luo Yan also opened his eyes at this time, and glanced at the Confucian scholar. He could tell that the Confucian scholar was a foundation-building cultivator, and he should be just an ordinary steward in the Zhengyang Sect.

Sure enough, the Confucian scholar walked up to the specially built stone platform, and his voice was guided by spiritual power to everyone's ears. He claimed that his surname was Chen, and he was the steward of Zhengyangzong, who came to preside over the recruitment examination.

"Let me reiterate the rules of the Zhengyang Sect. This sect only recruits those who are above the age of 13 and under the age of 40, and those who have practiced Qi at the fifth level or above. Those who do not meet the requirements, please leave quickly."

After finishing speaking, the Confucian scholar glanced down, and seeing that no one had left, he nodded to the disciple beside him in satisfaction. The disciple immediately walked up to them and pointed to the ladder extending from the mountain gate behind him. They are all made of bluestone, and there are hundreds of steps at a rough glance. The upper part is covered by clouds and mist, giving people the illusion of being connected to the sky.

"Now, please step up to the Immortal Stairway. Someone will conduct an aptitude test for you after you go up." After saying this, the disciple stepped aside, leaving the entrance of the staircase empty.

Here comes the first test, which can also be called an introductory test. It is said that Zhengyangzong’s climbing ladder has a total of 99 steps, which means ninety-nine return to one. In the end, the monks will be crushed to the ground on the ladder, unable to move an inch, and very embarrassed. Even if they have a high level of cultivation, walking down all of them is no less than a battle, which is exhausting.

So just now Confucian scholars just mentioned a rule, but no specific test, because most people under the mountain gate can't even pass the first test.Luo Jian's gaze scanned the climbing ladder, trying to figure out how to behave for a while so as not to attract attention.

After a while, two monks walked out of the crowd first, and walked towards the top of the mountain. The two walked quickly at the first three hundred steps, and the speed of the two at the middle three hundred steps slowed down significantly, and became slower and slower Finally, one person stopped to take a rest, but the figure of the other person was lost in the clouds and mist.

Next, ten more monks stepped up the stairs, and then more and more people. Luo Jian waited for the number of people at the mountain gate to decrease by half, and then walked to the mountain gate and walked up slowly.

This step is so long, and it will increase the gravity of the person, wouldn't it be easy to fly directly over it?

At this time, a monk had the same idea as Luo Fan. He had already reached the [-]th step and couldn't move any longer. Before he could be happy, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared above his head, scorching him inside and out, and he fell to the ground without knowing his life or death.

Seeing this, the people around quickly threw away the same thoughts. They were afraid for a while, and they also knew how the elders who recruited disciples of the Zhengyang Sect could let people take advantage of their loopholes. They should feel at ease to climb the ladder.

"idiot!"

The woman's voice came from the side and rear of Luo Fan, and she did not hide her disdain. Luo Fan turned her head in surprise, only to see a heroic woman in men's clothes with a ponytail coming up from behind.

Realizing that Luo Fan was looking at her, the woman's eyes circled around Luo Fan's body and walked towards Luo Fan.

"Loose repair?"

Luo Yan nodded, and the woman suddenly laughed.

"I'm also a casual cultivator, from Shiyan Cave, where did you come from?"

"Cuiwei Mountain."

"Ah, so you are from the foot of Zhengyangzong Mountain."

"Um"

"So you know a lot about Zhengyangzong?"

Luo Wen shook his head.

"Little is known."

The woman paused for a moment on Luo Fan's too fair face, and nodded clearly.

"It's the first time you go out, right? It's okay, just ask me if you don't understand anything."

After speaking, he patted Luo Fan's shoulder boldly.

"..."

"By the way, my name is Shen Panshan, because my father always wanted to find a good spiritual vein to settle down in the past, so he gave me this name. What's your name?"

"Loan."

"Luan... I always feel that it sounds familiar."

Shen Panshan thought for a while, then suddenly patted his forehead.

"Hey, you didn't know it until the first day in the Shura world. It's called Ling Luowen. It really resembles your name. It's a pity that he is a demon cultivator."

"..."

Luo Wen was silent for a moment.

"You don't like magic cultivators?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I stand in a different position."

Luo Fan nodded. At this time, the two of them had reached the [-]th step. Luo Fan himself was a golden core, but Shen Panshan didn't look too difficult. Luo Fan couldn't help but think highly of her. point.

Two quarters of an hour later, the two arrived at the top of the mountain together. In order not to attract people's attention, Luo Yan forced out some sweat, and his face was flushed. When he reached the top of the mountain, he looked like he was on the verge of falling. Shen Panshan rushed to help him. he.

"Are you okay? There was no reaction before, why did you get so tired at the end?"

"..."

Not far away is the place where the aptitude is tested. After "resting" for a while, Luo Wen and Shen Panshan walked to the test place and lined up. They said it was an aptitude test, but it was actually just a test of age and cultivation, and then judged you based on the combination of the two. potential.

When it was Shen Panshan's turn, Steward Chen asked her to put her palm on a black stone as high as a person, Shen Panshan did as she said, and twenty rays of light appeared on the black stone after a while.

"Shen Panshan, 20 years old, tenth level of Qi training, first-class aptitude."

The disciple on the side made notes in the booklet and handed Shen Panshan a wooden plaque with her name engraved on it, which was her identity badge.

"next."

Luo Fan came up and put his hands down like Shen Panshan. Twenty-seven rays of light appeared on the black stone. Seeing this, Chen Guanshi raised his head and looked at Luo Fan, as if surprised that Luo Fan's face was so young.

The Qi refining period cannot delay the aging of monks. It stands to reason that Luo Jian is now 27 years old, and under normal circumstances, he shouldn't look like a boy of seventeen or eighteen.

Although there are not many ways to maintain beauty in the realm of comprehension, those are all envoys of female cultivators. If a male cultivator spends his time on this kind of thing, it is really useless. Chen Guanshi obviously regards Luo Jian as such a dishonest person. The monk's attitude towards Luo Jian couldn't help but soften a little.

"Luo'an, 27 years old, eighth level of Qi training, medium aptitude. Next."

Luo Yan took his ID card and left the crowd, while Shen Panshan was waiting for him. While the two were talking, several flying artifacts flew in the sky, and monks in various costumes stood on them.

"Who are these people?"

"They...they are the children of the Xiuxian family, and they will compete with us later." Although Shen Panshan's tone was still so carefree, Luo Jian could still sense that she didn't like those family children.

This stems from Zhengyangzong's recruitment method. One is to recruit new students on a large scale for casual cultivators. The disciples of the school are far superior to casual cultivators in terms of resources, and their cultivation bases are naturally higher, so their number accounts for the majority.

Because of the unequal status, conflicts arise at this time.

Generally, the disciples of cultivation families look down on casual cultivators, they always feel that they are high above the mountains, and this group of casual cultivators from humble backgrounds, unorganized and undisciplined are all barbarians.Loose cultivators naturally wouldn't be willing to be looked down upon by others, so fights between casual cultivators and family children often broke out in the sect, and the former lost most of the time. It was no wonder that Shen Panshan, who was also a casual cultivator, didn't like to see members of the Xiuxian family.

……

Not long after, all the monks who passed the fairy ladder were tested. Chen Guanshi led these people towards the sect, and when they walked outside a bamboo forest, Luo Yan saw the people on the flying spirit weapon. When looking at each other, the other party also looked at them, and then showed contemptuous expressions by coincidence, while the casual cultivators were daring to speak out.

Seeing this, Luo Jian raised his eyebrows with great interest. He had been practicing alone before, and this was the first time he had seen this kind of dispute due to different identities in the sect.

When everyone arrived, Guanshi Chen stood in front of the crowd again.

"This is the last test. After a while, all of you will enter the bamboo forest. The ID cards on your body will point out the direction of the exit. You need to get ten ID cards within three days and then report to the exit. If you fail to complete the task on time, you will be eliminated. Those eliminated who perform well can serve as outer disciples, and the rest will be sent down the mountain."

Luo Wen glanced at the people present, there were about 700 people, that is to say, there were about 70 or even less people left in the end, it seems that he should not be too low-key when necessary.

"Now start queuing up to enter the teleportation array."

It was only then that Luo Fan discovered that there was a teleportation array outside the bamboo forest. Why set up a teleportation array when the bamboo forest was right next to it? Isn't it superfluous?

Shen Panshan told Luo Jian that this was to prevent members of the Cultivation Clan from forming a group to block and shoot down Cultivator Shan. I heard that a few years ago, a family had a genius. He gathered members of the family to guard the exit, and only his family passed the test in the end. and those who submit to him.

Afterwards, Zhengyangzong set up a teleportation array, in order to disperse the participating monks, but even if there was a teleportation array, it only pushed back the time when this situation occurred, and those who cultivated the immortal family would always think about it. Gathering together to deal with casual cultivators is one of the reasons why casual cultivators hate the members of the Cultivation Clan.

While speaking, the monks entered the teleportation array in batches. Seeing that the time was reduced by more than half, when it was almost Luo's turn, Shen Panshan walked to him and said in a low voice:

"After a while, you have to hurry up and get to the exit before the members of the Xiuxian family gather."

Luo Yan nodded to show that he understood, and then stepped into the teleportation formation. In fact, he was not worried, even if in order to conceal his identity as a demon cultivator, he put his cultivation base in the Qi refining period (all those who cultivate in the Qi refining period are unified There is no distinction between immortal cultivators and demon cultivators.), and it is not comparable to these monks.

The scene in front of him flashed, and when Luo Yan opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the bamboo forest. Through the guidance of the wooden sign, he knew that he was probably in the southeast of the bamboo forest, and the exit was in the north. It seemed his luck Not that good.

Thinking of Shen Panshan's words, Luo Jian didn't stop for a long time. After choosing a direction, he walked towards the exit. He didn't use flying swords. Of course, few people use flying swords in this bamboo forest. They all use light-weight techniques. lest you become a target for others.

At this time, Luo Yan didn't know that when he left, the ubiquitous projection stones in the bamboo forest had already transmitted his figure to the steward at the exit, and the elder who was in charge of inspecting this time happened to have met him once. Fate, and the result is not happy Chongmiao.
