The old man said, "My name is Ma Hao, and she is the chief examiner of your third assessment. From now on, you are already the "temporary" outer disciples of Tianxuan Sect.

"In the next three months, you can basically enjoy the treatment that the outer disciples of Tianxuan Sect can enjoy, including the martial arts that the outer disciples can practice, and you can also practice them.

"But, after a hundred days, if the effect you cultivate does not meet the requirements, you will lose the identity of an outer disciple and automatically become a foreign affairs disciple. Those who cultivate the effect you meet the requirements will become formal outer disciples and can enter the sect to practice."

As he said that, he pointed his hand to the distance: "This is the "secret realm in the painting" of "Qinggen Tu". The sun rises and falls in the east and falls in the west, and alternates day and night. The gray place outside the mountain is the chaotic void. Once it sinks into it, it will never survive, so you cannot get close to it.

"There are fruit trees, wild vegetables and mushrooms, various small animals, and fish in the water. You can solve the problem of eating, drinking, defecation and sensation on your own. But be careful about the green steel cow here. It is as hard as iron and has great strength. Once it goes crazy, it will be enough to collapse mountains and gravels and intercept the river. You all are not opponents, so don't provoke it easily."

He pointed at the three-meter-high leafless green trees: "This is the 'green and rosy tree', distributed in nine mountains, with a radius of thousands of feet. There are a total of 129,600 trees. Each tree is as hard as blue rock and as tough as ancient vines. It is difficult for mortals to cut down, but it contains the 'muyuan spirit', which is of great benefit to your cultivation."

As he said that, his right hand slashed, and there was an invisible force to cut a large piece of branch off a green-toned tree and he held it in his hand.

"Follow me."

Ma Hao took many years to the east. There was a cave at the foot of the giant mountain. When you walked in, there was a vast space, hundreds of feet long and ten feet high. There were stone pillars three feet thick that connected to the ground from the top of the cave. There were green dragons carved on the pillars, a total of 108.

There is a strange pattern on the ground in front of each pillar, and densely packed mysterious runes form a circle.

The top of the cave is inlaid with thirty-six huge jade pots on the surface, emitting a soft and bright enough light, like thirty-six bright moons, making it bright like daytime.

At the end of the cave, there is a huge black iron gate, carved with five images, the green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the vermilion bird on the top, and the black twilight on the bottom, but the middle part is a strange topographic map, with an ancient overall layout.

Under the stone wall on the left side of the cave, there are rows of weapon stands, with swords and axes placed. On the stone wall on the right, there are some dense things carved.

The old man said: "The words and patterns engraved on the stone wall on the right are the "Qingyuan Gong" in the introductory practice of our Tianxuan Sect. It is a compulsory practice for you to read and learn by yourself, and you can practice by yourself. As long as you are not hopelessly stupid, you will not be able to practice it.

"There are weapons piled under the stone wall on the left, and each person can only choose one. The array diagram carved on the ground in front of the Qinglongzhu is called the 'Sculpture Array'. You only need to put the wood of the Qingqu Tree in it to activate it, create puppets, and assist in cultivation. But remember, you cannot activate all 108 array diagrams, otherwise there will be danger."

As he said that, he broke the green-twist branches in his hand and threw them into a formation diagram.

The wood and the entire array map gradually burst out with green light. The wood twisted and changed in the strong light, and gradually turned into a wooden puppet with a dragon head. The color was simple and dim, like an ordinary object, but it could run over like a living person, with a fast speed and hit the old man with one punch.

"This 'Aoki Puppet Man' will desperately attack the summoner, unless it exhausts its power or is knocked out by the summoner, and will fall down. But if it can be defeated and removed successfully..."

At this time, the old man gently patted his right palm, and the "green wood puppet man"'s chest cracked and fell directly to the ground. A small wooden ball with a faint green light rolled out from his chest.

The old man sucked the small wooden ball into his hand and said, "This piece of wood, called the 'Yuan Jing Bead', is condensed from the essence extracted from the green-toned branches. It contains the 'Muan Yuan Jing', which can be absorbed into the body and increase its skills."

As he said that, the piece of wood shone green, and the light penetrated into the old man's body, and the remaining wood turned into a pile of powder and sprinkled on the ground.

"The Qingmu Puppet will consume the "Mu Yuan Jing" in the "Yuan Jing Bead". If you spend too much time to defeat it, the "Yuan Jing Bead" will become a waste product and is useless. Therefore, if you want to use the wood of the Qingqu Tree to practice, you must defeat the Qingmu Puppet as soon as possible.

"In addition, the more wood you put in, the larger the "mu Yuan Jing" contained in the "yuan Jing Bead" will become, the more pure it will become. The green wood puppet will become stronger. The effect will be better when practicing with such Yuan Jing beads. However, if there are too few wood particles placed in, the array diagram cannot be activated. After all array diagrams are activated once, you must wait for a quarter of an hour to activate again, so you should pay attention to it yourself."

Ma Hao said, walked to the Xuantie Ju Gate and said, "This is the gateway to go out. As long as you practice to the level of "Three Foots of Transcendent Gang" and inject your skills into the "Sky Round and Place Map" in the middle of Xuantie Sect, you will be teleported out and you will directly obtain the identity of a "formal" outer disciple of Tianxuan Sect.

"Note that this black iron giant gate is only open for 100 days and can only teleport for forty-nine people. In other words, you must pass here within 100 days, and you must be in the top forty-nine to be considered qualified.

"If you fail for more than a hundred days, or if you rank in the 49th place, you will be eliminated."

Everyone's faces suddenly became solemn.

"Okay, next, if you don't understand anything, just think about it yourself, think about it yourself, and solve it yourself. I'm waiting for your good news outside."

As he said that, he pressed his right hand on the Xuan Iron Giant Gate, and a green light surged out, and then his whole body disappeared.

Everyone who stayed looked at each other.

"Ma Hao's words mean that at least 38 people will be eliminated. If everyone's cultivation speed is not fast, it is possible that even if all 87 people are eliminated. Therefore, I must practice to the level of "Three Feet of Transparent Gang" within a hundred days, and not allowing too many people to pass the Iron Sect faster than me... The people here have now become competitors."

Lin Geng frowned slightly and walked towards the weapons first.

There are six weapon stands, three on the left and three on the right. Each weapon stand is divided into two rows of upper and lower, with eight weapons in each row, totaling ninety-six.

Thirty-two big swords, thirty-two long swords, and thirty-two axes.

"The long sword is agile. If used well, it can restrain the axe holder. Those who are good at using swords are often strong, but the long sword is not conducive to cutting down trees and is even more unfavorable to splitting puppets. Moreover, it is difficult for beginners to use swords, so they can give up.

"The axe is good for cutting trees, but it is not flexible enough to face the "Aokimu Puppet Man". Unless it is very strong, it is not suitable for combat. The inability to obtain the "Muyuan Jing" from the puppet will affect cultivation. Moreover, the others are competitors, and may not fight in the future, and using the axe is not good.

"A thick-backed sword is not as flexible as a long sword, and cutting trees is not as good as an axe, but it is suitable for dealing with the "Azuoki Puppet Man". It is not impossible to use it to cut trees, even if you use a knife to fight with other peers, it is beneficial. Moreover, it is easy for beginners to learn swords.

"If only one weapon was chosen..."

Lin Geng hesitated for a moment and reached out to hold a thick-backed sword in his hand.

But looking at the axes, I couldn't help but reach out.

The moment his finger was about to touch the axe, the axe was like a phantom, illusory and unreal. His fingers passed through it, just like light passing through the water without interfering with each other.

"This is..." Lin Geng's face changed slightly. He put the big knife in his hand back into the weapon stand and then went to get the axe, but he still couldn't handle it.

"As a matter of fact, you can only get one weapon, and once you choose it, you can't change it. I just don't know if you can use it interchangeably after someone takes the weapon? Or, rob?"

After thinking about it, I turned around and walked towards the stone wall on the right, looked up at the words on the stone wall, and watched the practice method of "Qingyuan Gong".

But after just a few glances, the "smart phone" in his arms suddenly vibrated, turning into a thick ball of black gas, gushing out through his clothes, and then turning into a black gas-like little demon.

It was wearing a grass skirt transformed from black air, jumping in the air, twisting its waist and hips, flapping its demon's wings, and swaying its tail, as if it was dancing, and humming an unpleasant sound like animal intercourse. After a while, it stopped and bowed with its hands: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on completing the hidden mission, finally getting rid of the novice stage, officially embarking on the path of demon intermediary full of darkness, death and despair, Satan's testimony, Yan Zun's testimony, Death testimony, Styx witness...Scatter flowers!!"
