This is the first level of the trial, a test of perseverance. After climbing the stairs, you will feel that the steps are extremely heavy, and the more you go up, the heavier it becomes. If you resist the pressure and reach the top, you will be qualified to enter the next level.

Cultivation of immortality is not something that happens in a day. The higher the level, the longer the life span. Those who cultivate immortality must be able to endure loneliness and have perseverance and perseverance in seeking immortality.

Bian Tingyu grabbed Song Shiyin's arm and looked forward nervously.

"Tingyu, take a deep breath." Song Shiyin comforted Bian Tingyu.

After taking a few deep breaths, Song Shiyin took Bian Tingyu up the stairs.

As soon as she stepped on it, the pressure came on. Bian Tingyu's body visibly bent a little, and then she started to breathe quickly, her cheeks turned red, and her nose became sweaty.

Song Shiyin also felt a lot of pressure and was even out of breath. At this time, she and Bian Tingyu supported each other, looking slightly embarrassed, all the way up.

The higher up, the greater the pressure. Song Shiyin could feel that Bian Tingyu beside him was struggling, or it was not just Bian Tingyu, but everyone who stepped on the stairs.

"Shi... Shiyin, I can't do it anymore." Bian Tingyu looked very bad now. She was sweating profusely, her face was flushed, and her steps were getting heavier and heavier.

"Talk less, save your energy, let's take a short rest." Song Shiyin was also very tired, and she felt as if she had returned to the time when she was escaping from the python in the fairy mountain.

Bian Tingyu was very tired at this time and nodded.

Song Shiyin helped Bian Tingyu to the side and stood to take a breath. This trial is actually quite humane. There is a platform at every corner of the stairs. When you first reach the platform, you have five breaths of breathing time. These five breaths

The internal pressure disappeared, and there was even a slight breeze blowing, but after five breaths, everything returned to its original state.

Song Shiyin was resting when a young man passed by them.

This man was dressed in black and had a high ponytail. He looked slow, extremely embarrassed, and sweating profusely, but Song Shiyin found that his steps were steady and his body was leaning forward but his back was straight.

Instinctively thinking that something was wrong with this person, Song Shiyin secretly wrote down this person, then patted Bian Tingyu's arm, and the two of them supported each other and slowly climbed up.

In order to more accurately reflect the abilities of those participating in the trial, what everyone doesn't know is that there is a spiritual formation at the bottom of the stairs. It does not mean that everything will be fine if you insist on going up the first level. The spiritual formation will record the time for everyone to pass the level, and the following levels will also be

in this way.

If they successfully become disciples of the outer sect of the sect, and then successfully enter the inner sect, these records will be sent to each peak along with their usual class performance and assessment results, and become the basis for the elders to accept disciples.

Seemingly feeling something, Song Shiyin tilted his head slightly, it was Du Yunxi.

Du Yunxi's hair was messy, her temples stuck to her ears, her cheeks were red, and her chapped lips were slightly open. She was breathing heavily, and her chest was heaving violently. She raised her head slightly and looked up.

Step by step, fall heavily.

"Bang", someone kicked Du Yunxi in the crook of the leg, and her body suddenly jumped forward. She quickly reacted and held the sharp corners of the steps with both hands to prevent her from falling.

"What are you doing?" Du Yunxi turned around, sat down on the steps, looked at the person in front of him, and asked expressionlessly.

"Walking so slowly, you're blocking my way." The person who spoke raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he heard something ridiculous, and brushed his clothes.

"Then I'll just block it here, Lingyun Immortal Sect, and don't let any of us in." Du Yunxi patted the dust on his hands.

The man at the bottom of the stairs raised his chin and looked at her disdainfully. Du Yunxi put her arms on her knees, lowered her head, and smiled at him.

One tilt and one tilt, a confrontation of momentum.

Song Shiyin pulled Bian Tingyu aside and gave way, quietly watching the confrontation in front of her.

"Will the people in front leave or not? What are they doing in the way? Did someone invite them to cause trouble? Don't you want the people behind you to not be able to pass the first level?" The person who spoke had a loud, deep and powerful voice, with a hint of

impatient.

"Without Lingyun Immortal Sect, I still have Yunyan Gate, Thousand Days Ferry, and Cangyuan Wheel. Without this year, I still have the next ten years, and I can keep spending time with you." Du Yunxi looked relaxed and smiled, as if he was

Catch up with old friends of many years.

Hearing this, the man became extremely angry. He clenched his hands into fists in front of his chest and slowly opened his right hand outward. A black long sword began to appear as he moved.

"Hey! You were obviously the one who hit people first, but now you are so angry that you want to attack a mortal who has no power to restrain a chicken! Is this the character of a monk from the Xiangxu Domain?" Seeing this, Bian Tingyu frowned and asked

Taking a step forward, he shouted to the man below.

Although I was out of breath when I said it, I couldn't hide the fierceness in it.

More and more people behind him began to accuse him. No matter how angry the man was, he could not get angry. He waved his hand and took back the sword, glared at Du Yunxi fiercely, and left quickly.

"Thank you both." Du Yunxi thanked Song Shiyin and Bian Tingyu waved her hand indifferently.

The team climbing the stairs returned to its previous appearance, as if the conflict just now was just an illusion.

On the way, many people could not insist on resting where they were, and many people gave up and continued climbing and returned the same way. Song Shiyin and Bian Tingyu walked and rested, and finally reached the top.

After going up the stairs, there is a flat area, where the second level is conducted, measuring spiritual roots.

Bian Tingyu stood gasping for air, obviously not recovered yet, Song Shiyin glanced around, the man in black was hiding in the middle of the crowd, almost blending into the dark figure.

Not far away there are several people wearing the same clothes, they are disciples of the Lingyun Immortal Sect. The clothes of the Lingyun Immortal Sect are blue and white narrow-sleeved tops, white and blue gradient bottoms, with Lingyun Immortal Sect's logo on the collar and cuffs.

Zong Hui looks fresh, clean and unassuming.

The disciples gathered around a stone, which was two people tall and engraved with the words "Lingyun Immortal Sect". This was the spirit-testing stone of Lingyun Immortal Sect.

Different from the smaller one from the Du family, this one is a real spirit-testing stone.

The stone left by the immortal to the Du family was originally called the Yun Ling Stone, which is a variant of the spirit stone. As a basic resource in the world of immortality, the spirit stone has many uses. The spirit stone contains rich spiritual energy, which can be absorbed by cultivators for cultivation.

, can also be used as a source of energy for spiritual weapons, formations, and spells.

Spiritual stones are divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the richness of the spiritual energy they contain. Only ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones can equal the spiritual energy of one medium-grade spiritual stone.

If the ordinary spirit stone is "out", then the Yunling Stone is "in". Not only the spiritual energy in the Yunling Stone cannot be absorbed, but when it senses the presence of the spirit, the Yunling Stone will also absorb the spiritual energy in the opposite direction.

The Spirit Testing Stone is created on the basis of the Spirit Yun Stone. It is necessary to take a huge Spirit Yun Stone and lay a formation on it to achieve the purpose of reflecting the properties of the spirit energy.

Spiritual roots require spiritual energy to exist. Before the energy is introduced into the body, the spiritual roots will absorb part of the spiritual energy to maintain activity. Therefore, only by measuring spiritual stones can one determine whether it has spiritual roots and its properties.

The second bell rang, and a person put his hand on the spirit-testing stone. The stone suddenly shone with light. The person put his hand down and said, "Let the spirit-testing stone begin." The voice was clear and clear, as if it could pass through the clouds.

The people waiting quickly lined up and walked forward one after another.

The people behind them whispered, knowing that this was the level that decided their fate. Those with good talent would be able to embark on the path of becoming a better person, while those with insufficient talent would go back and find another way out.

"Three spiritual roots of wood, earth and water, twenty-five years old, qualified."

"Two spiritual roots of fire and earth, thirty-two years old, qualified."

"The five spiritual roots of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, at the age of eighteen, eliminated."

"Shui Dan Linggen, twenty years old, qualified."

People left one after another, and the disciples' voices were not loud. The people behind could only see the eliminated people dejected, and were led down the mountain by the disciples. The qualified people looked happy, which meant that they had successfully passed the test.

They can't decide on the first level. They only need to pass the third level before they can enter Lingyun Immortal Sect and become an outer disciple.

Soon it was Song Shiyin and Bian Tingyu's turn. Bian Tingyu went first, and Song Shiyin squeezed Bian Tingyu's hand to cheer her up.

"Water-gold double spiritual roots, sixteen years old, qualified." When she heard that she passed, Bian Tingyu took a big breath, then excitedly waved to Song Shiyin, and gave her a cheering gesture.

The next one is Song Shiyin. The spiritual root of a cultivator is talent. The five element spiritual roots are mainly wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The five spiritual roots are the least. The single spiritual root is the best. Above the single spiritual root, there are single heaven spiritual roots and mutated spiritual roots.

Ice, wind, and thunder are better.

Song Shiyin made some calculations. She wanted to enter the inner gate so that she could easily contact Du Yunxi in the future, but also not to attract too much attention. Middle and upper level was the best, and Mu Linggen was her plan.

Song Shiyin put his hand on the spirit-measuring stone. The light emitted by the spirit-measuring stone carried the aura of the wood element.

"Mu Tianlinggen, seventeen years old, qualified." Song Shiyin smiled slightly and walked towards Bian Tingyu who was waiting for her.

"Shiyin, great, we have a chance to enter the sect." Bian Tingyu hugged Song Shiyin excitedly, and Song Shiyin also echoed her a few times.

Those who have talents above three spiritual roots and are between ten and under thirty-five years old can pass the second level. Those who remain can pass the third level and become outer disciples of Lingyun Immortal Sect.

If a disciple wants to enter the inner gate, there is only one way.

That is, if you have a cultivation level above Foundation Establishment, get top ten in the annual Outer Sect Disciple Competition, and be accepted as a disciple by an elder, you can successfully enter the Inner Sect.

There are so many outer disciples, and the elders will not easily accept disciples. It is even more difficult to become an inner disciple, but the world of immortality has always been like this. Only those who are capable live there. The most important thing Lingyun Immortal Sect lacks is genius.

"Shiyin, the world of cultivating immortals is really magical. I just put my hand on the spirit-testing stone, and before I could react, my disciple started singing." Bian Tingyu held Song Shiyin's arm and said to her excitedly.

Song Shiyin only nodded to Bian Tingyu. Bian Tingyu's curiosity about the world of immortality, her yearning for Lingyun Immortal Sect, and her desire for immortality made Song Shiyin unable to respond.

Song Shiyin found Du Yunxi's figure in the crowd. She was really as described in the original text, [upright and calm, with a calm temperament, out of place in a group of people, as if she would fly away in the next second and transform into a fairy.]

Song Shiyin and Bian Tingyu stood aside, waiting to see Du Yunxi shine.

"Shiyin, do you know Du Yunxi?" Song Shiyin turned around and saw Bian Tingyu looking in Du Yunxi's direction.

"Who?" Song Shiyin looked surprised, as if he didn't know her name at all, let alone Du Yunxi.

"That's the one with the butterfly yellow dress." Bian Tingyu pointed in the direction of Du Yunxi with her chin.

Song Shiyin shook his head and said, "It was her on the stairs just now."

Hearing this, Bian Tingyu nodded and said: "You know the Du family in Dingcheng, the richest family in the Twelve Cities, Du Yunxi is the daughter of the Du family, the head of the Du family wants to pick the stars and the moon for her.

Du Yunxi is so beautiful, and her talent must be very good, I think she will definitely be able to enter the sect." Bian Tingyu said with envy.

Indeed, Song Shiyin recalled Du Yunxi in the original text, which is indeed very enviable.

Du Yunxi has a good family background and has been pampered since she was a child. Her parents and elders love her, and her brothers and sisters of her generation also love her.

Du Yunxi has good looks, she was cute and lovable when she was a child, and she looks beautiful when she grows up. Just standing there makes people feel that she is not as beautiful as a real person and makes them feel ashamed.

Du Yunxi has a good talent. When she entered the sect's trial, she attracted attention for her talent of mutating ice spirit roots. Later, it was discovered that she was a pure spirit that was rare to see in a hundred years. There was no obstacle in her cultivation.

Du Yunxi is very lucky. Since she entered the world of immortality, she has participated in many trials, large and small, secret realms, natural treasures, and cave inheritance. She has always been able to turn danger into good fortune.

Du Yunxi has a good personality. Along the way, she has made many friends, including casual cultivators, sect disciples, and monsters. They are all impressed by her personal charm, and she has also won the admiration of many outstanding members of the opposite sex.
