Time flies, and forty or fifty years have passed soon.

In May of this year, Qin Di received news that the day for the Chidi Palace to open up mountains and recruit disciples every five hundred years is coming.

So, he sent his clone Qin Huo, and brought more than a dozen fire cultivators to teleport to the Southern Firefly City of the Central Continent through the teleportation array of Xuanshi City. The city is rich in fireflies. It is said that there was a celestial immortal who collected countless fireflies and extracted a kind of fairy fire from it. This kind of fairy fire is very strange. Although it is not very lethal, it is good at tracking and can stick to the tracking object. Even if it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, it can keep track of it.

Qin Di (Qin Huo) walked out of the teleportation array and soon found the Chidi Palace.

The outer wall of the Chidi Palace is red in red, and there is a fire lake at the door. The fire is blazing, and even at night, the outside of the Chidi Palace seems very lively. Therefore, on weekdays, this is the place where people like to gather the most. As a famous sect, Chidi Palace will not drive away those people in order to show its favor.

The Dragon Boat Festival in May is the day when the Chidi Palace opens its mountain to recruit disciples. Before that, everyone who wants to take the test can come to collect the license plate three days in advance.

On this day, on the Dragon Boat Festival in May, a ninth-level spiritual immortal with white hair flowing out of the Red Emperor Palace, followed by five or six low-level spiritual immortals, and more than a dozen miscellaneous disciples, including four or five earthly immortals, and several Taoist cultivators.

The white-haired spirit fairy in the head came to the fire lake, threw a red token into the flames, and then prayed to the sky with a solemn expression, muttering something, but didn't know what to say.

When it was not big, the fire lake suddenly erupted, and the originally calm lake surface became undulating, the waves became higher and higher, and gradually condensed into a human-shaped flame!

Someone cheered next to him: "Red Emperor Fire Spirit! Red Emperor Fire Spirit has appeared!"

"Look, the flames are getting closer and closer to the human form, the nose, eyes, arms, and legs are all coming out! And he can still take steps in the sea of ​​fire!"

"Hey, why did the Red Emperor Fire Spirit come ashore? The flames on his body are so strong that they won't burn people to death, right?"

"Ahem, since you want to test your new disciple, the Fire Spirit will of course go ashore! Otherwise, how can you test it? If you let everyone jump into the Fire Lake, you may even be burned to death and cannot climb out!"

"Don't worry, the flames on the fire spirit look very strong, and it makes people feel particularly painful when it burns on the body. However, after the flames burn, they will not leave indelible scars, and they will not burn people to death. Last time I participated in the test, it was a pity that I failed to persevere in the flames for ten breaths, and I felt the pain that my whole body was burned. As if I had been burned by the fire. As a result, after I raised my right hand and gave up, I found that there was no scar on my body. So, I regretted it that day. If I could hold on for a while, I could become an outer disciple of the Red Emperor Palace! What a pity, why can't I hold on?"

"Hey, it's not your fault! This is an illusion caused by the Red Emperor Fire Spirit. I was even more miserable last time. I counted the numbers myself and thought I had persisted for ten breaths, so I stopped quickly. Who knew that after I stopped, I was told by the elder in charge of the test, and I only persisted for eight breaths. Do you think I was dead unjustly? I clearly remembered that it was ten breaths!"

"Then you won't defend yourself with the other party?"

"I argued, but even my junior brother looked around and said that I only persisted for eight breaths!"

"Ahem, there's nothing I can do!"

"I heard that if you can persist in thirty breaths in the flames, you can become an inner disciple; if you persist in 100 breaths, you can become a true disciple. I wonder if it's right?"

"I can't remember the specific numbers either. Anyway, the longer I persist, the better! If I can persist for three hundred breaths, I might become a personal disciple!"

"Personal disciples? Don't dream! The last time the Red Emperor Palace tested in many cities, and in the end only two true disciples were recruited. There have been no personal disciples in many years."

At this time, I heard the white-haired Spirit Immortal sing: "The test of recruiting new disciples in the Chidi Palace will soon begin. Before that, I will say a few words first. Our Chidi Palace is a large sect with a long history, but it is not the only sect for Fire Cultivation. There are thousands of sects in the entire spiritual world, including more than 200 of them, and they will wave to Fire Cultivation disciples. So young monks, if you are frustrated for a while, don't be discouraged. This can only say that you have no fate with the Chidi Palace for the time being, and it does not mean that your Fire Cultivation qualification is not good. You can choose to practice in another sect, or you can wait for another five hundred years to continue to come to my Chidi Palace for testing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a disciple below shouting: "We will recognize the Chidi Palace! My ancestors all practiced in the Chidi Palace, and there is no reason to switch to other schools! If not this time, then wait for next time! If you come a few more times, there will always be hope."

Someone also whispered: "No matter what, the Chidi Palace will not harm people! I heard that some Huo Xiu Sects recruit disciples to kill chickens and get eggs. The disciples who were taken in were very miserable. They either lack resources and cannot advance, or they were deprived of the cave heaven after advance... Although the Chidi Palace recruits disciples, as long as they enter the sect, there is hope that they will go up one step at a time, and there is no need to worry that they will be deprived of the cave heaven. This is the benefit of entering a famous sect!"

Then I heard the white-haired ninth-level spiritual immortal shouting: "First, please ask the top 500 monks who have received the license plate to leave the list and stand in the square for testing. After the flame is coming, try to hold on for a longer time. If you can't hold on, raise your left hand or jump out of the standing grid. It will be considered that you have finished the test!"

So five hundred monks walked out and stood in the square grids that had drawn lines in advance. These grids were only about the size of a foot, and there were some open spaces beside them.

The disciples who participated in the test had the lowest skills, and the one with the highest skills had reached the Lingxian. From this, it can be seen that in the long years from Buxu to Lingxian, every monk had countless opportunities to participate in the test. Anyway, the test process was free, and there was a chance every five hundred years. So as the person said before, if this time fails, you can come back next time.

However, Qin Di knew very well that if the first time failed, the chance of success would be very small. Because everyone's qualifications are basically fixed, unless there is a qualitative change later, either they get the immortal fire, their qualifications change, or they suddenly realize the profound laws of the heavenly way, so that the results of the test can be changed.
