Penglai Pavilion is located in the southwest of Zhongzhou, close to the center of Zhongzhou. It is located in the place where it is rich in spiritual power and entangled with fairy spirit all year round. Many people call it Penglai Fairyland. In Penglai Fairyland, it is actually the largest freshwater lake on the mainland, called Penglai Lake. There are many islands in the lake, scattered with scattered postures and magnificent styles.
A qi refining array that is said to be left by the Penglai Immortal, covering the entire lake, making the lakeside and the lakeshore become two completely different worlds. Practicing in the Qi refining array for a year, it is better to practice hard outside for several years. All those who have achieved the right result in Penglai Pavilion are the targets of various sects after graduation. Because any benefit obtained by staying in Penglai Pavilion for four years and being promoted to an inner disciple is unimaginable.
All of this is attributed to the unique Qi Refining Array on the mainland.
It is this unique advantage that makes Penglai Pavilion an uncrowned king in Zhongzhou Academy. Penglai Pavilion is also a shortcut for the lower class of Zhongzhou to enter the upper class. Due to its compatibility, countless people squeezed their heads to Penglai Pavilion. Including Zhongzhou people, including Zhongzhou, and also the demon hunters who seek to survive in the Demon Realm all year round.
From July 1st to July 10th every year, the shores of Penglai Lake are surrounded by people from all over the world. For hundreds of years, this continent, the most fair Xue Pavilion, has been full of students all over the world. Almost every well-known sect on the mainland has the shadow of Penglai Pavilion.
The power of Penglai Pavilion radiates widely. The city lords of cities in a territory of thousands of miles in a radius of radius are all loyal to Penglai Pavilion. Hundreds of cities, thousands of towns, and tens of thousands of villages have formed a huge economic system comparable to the great empire.
Today is July 1st. Under the leadership of many gold, Guo Lin and his group reached the shore of Penglai Lake three days ago, a city affiliated with Penglai Pavilion - Jiangcheng.
After staying for a few days, everyone had a preliminary understanding of Penglai Pavilion. Guo Lin felt like a country bumpkin entered the city. He always thought that the so-called Penglai Pavilion was just a larger institution. But it was not a bigger place. Its sphere of influence was as big as dozens of Xia Kingdoms.
At the same time, he yearned for the Penglai Fairyland, which was surrounded by clouds all day long. Guo Lin heard a lot of rumors about Penglai Pavilion.
The group walked out of the east gate of Jiangcheng, heading eastward, and after walking dozens of miles, they finally arrived at the shore of Penglai Lake. This place was crowded with people, and at first glance, there was a vast sea of people.
There will be 100,000 people today, but only 3,000 people who can pass the test will pass the test. In other words, only three of them will be able to advance smoothly in the end. Three percent, which is the proportion of Penglai Pavilion after the expansion of enrollment in recent years. In previous years, there may not be one percent.
One hundred thousand people were gradually assigned to one hundred examination rooms, with one thousand people in each examination room. Guo Lin and others walked south several miles along the lake shore and arrived at the entrance of the examination room No. 66. Sixty-six is a very auspicious number, but no matter how auspicious the number is, there are only thirty people who can advance in the end.
The breeze blows, and the clear lake surface ripples gently, and under the sun, it reflects rippling waves. The willows are swaying on the lakeshore. July is already summer, but there is no heat here at all.
Everyone sat down in groups of three or three on the green grass and watched the lake surface filled with fairy fog. The white fog on the lake surface blocked everyone's view into the distance. A hundred meters was the limit that the naked eye could see. The immortal aura array in Penglai Pavilion was indeed extraordinary. I don't know what a beautiful scene it was in the lake.
Half an hour before the entrance time, the candidates on the shore of the lake where the examination was to be taken on the 66th could not wait. People from all over the world were dressed in strange clothes and looked very different. There were nervous worrying about gains and losses, confident demeanor, and people looking around and looking for help.
Most of these people are young and beautiful, and there are many people who look fierce and evil. They have different identities and backgrounds.
There are demon hunters from the Demon Realm, princes and nobles from countries around the human realm, children from ordinary families in Zhongzhou, sons and daughters of city lords from major cities, successors focused on training by major forces, etc., which can be said to be a mixture of fish and dragons. Of course, everyone wants to go to Penglai Pavilion, but not everyone can afford it.
The registration fee for 5,000 days of coin refining alone has discouraged many people. Of course, the premise is that you have to enter Zhongzhou first. The entry fee for 100,000 days of coin refining each person directly kills the hopes of most non-Zhongzhou people.
Even if a lot of gold was taken to Zhongzhou, Guo Lin and his group still paid 500,000 days of refining coins and obtained the temporary "ID card" from Zhongzhou, but the effect was only four years. Four years later, if you want to continue staying in Zhongzhou, you have to pay the fee for refining coins of 100,000 days of refining coins again.
It can be seen that Zhongzhou people are very xenophobic. In order to develop better and longer, they need to curb the foreign population.
If outsiders are lucky enough to be valued by a well-known force in Zhongzhou and allowed to join, they will be able to stabilize for a long time. However, there are few sects who are willing to accept people outside Zhongzhou. However, those who graduate from Penglai Pavilion are the exception. This is the advantage of Penglai Pavilion.
In order to enjoy a cultivation environment that is more than ten times better than the Demon Realm, there are still many demon hunters who have been burning their boats, spending 100,000 days to refine coins, enter Zhongzhou, and sign up for the Penglai Pavilion test. As long as you enter Penglai Pavilion, it means you have achieved success. But more people have lost all their money because they have ignored a very important point...
"Quiet……"
The thick voice was stunned and the whispered people, and at some point a boat floated over the clear lake water.
On the small boat, he stood in plain clothes, with a bun tied around his head, and a long beard. He had a handsome old man with a long hair and a childish face and a bright and energetic look.
As soon as the old man appeared, all a thousand people became quiet.
The old man was very satisfied with this effect, which meant that he was respected. The boat stopped on the shore, and he stood at the bow of the boat, twisting his beard and said, "Everyone, welcome to my Penglai Fairy Pavilion. Today is my Penglai Fairy Pavilion, the annual opening day..."
The old man said some polite words and praised the various advantages of Penglai Pavilion. He heard it so much that he wanted to skip the assessment and enter the Pavilion and then he slowly said.
"After an hour, I will take you into the arena. What you are going to face is a cruel survival match. Here, there are a total of 1,000 people, but after the game, 970 people will be eliminated. If you want to be part of Penglai Pavilion, just work hard. Until there are 30 people left in the field, the game will automatically end. Those who advance will be directly teleported to the Immortal Pavilion."
He winked, and the women in yellow robes who were standing behind him came in a gentle manner and distributed a jade slip to each.
"The jade slips in your hands can help you escape, but as long as you use them, you will bid farewell to the opportunity to join the cabinet this year. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Many people said in unison.
In fact, the exam method is very simple. After hearing and seeing each other these days, Guo Lin suddenly understood what the old man meant. As long as a thousand people fight, as long as they persist and become the last one-thirty, they will succeed.
"Brother, isn't it difficult?" The little prince smiled. Even though he grew up in a good face, he looked like he was so naughty.
What? What do you think the little prince looks like? Just find the most vulgar one among the crowd. Of course, vulgarity is about temperament, and the little prince himself is still a little handsome.
Feng Zhongxiao chose to remain silent. He wanted to speak, but couldn't speak, which was very uncomfortable. However, judging from his high head and cool expression, he seemed to agree with the words of the little prince.
Bai Bing held Guo Lin's arm, blinked charmingly, teased the prince and said, "Little Prince, will you protect us later? I'm so scared."
"Sister-in-law, don't panic. If I'm here, who will come, I'll kick one away." As he said that, he raised his foot, twisted his leg ring, and did warm-up exercises.
Seeing that he looked so good, Guo Lin really wanted to kick him.
He Yixiang was holding the little white fox that was exchanged for being touched by Bai Bing. She looked around carefully and approached Guo Lin and said, "Third brother, I'm a little nervous. Everyone looks very powerful."
Guo Lin touched her head and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, there is a brother here."
"kindness."
For some reason, such a simple sentence made He Yixiang feel at ease.
"Sorry, disturb me..."
A timid voice interrupted everyone's conversation. Guo Lin turned his head and saw two girls, one wearing a red shirt and about twenty years old. What impressed people was their thin lips and single eyelids. The medium-sized appearance gave people a sense of meanness and selfishness.
Guo Lin is not a person who judges people by his appearance. After a slight pause, she had an impression in her heart and looked at another girl. This is a 14- or 5-year-old girl, wearing a white dress, her skirt is like a beautiful butterfly. Her brown slightly curly pineapple hair is hanging on both sides of her chest and chest, making her look more energetic. Her pink and jade-carved face and her eyes are shining, making people feel protective when they look at it.
She was the one who spoke. Seeing Guo Lin and others turning their heads, they looked at themselves unanimously, and they stuttered a little: "I...I...we want to join you, can we?"
Guo Lin found it interesting and asked, "What are your names? Why do you want to join us?"
The girl lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Guo Lin, looking a little helpless. Fortunately, she quickly found the focal length of her eyes again, which was the little white fox in He Yixiang's arms.
There was a smile on her pitiful little face and her speech became smoother. "My name is Fluo, her name is Jinluan. We came from a place called Holy Soul Village. Everyone in the village was dead, and only the two of us who went out happened to survive..."
"Fro, say the point."
The woman next to her pulled her sleeve and said in a low voice.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Jin Luan. You, are you still... okay?" The little girl was very nervous, and seemed to be a little afraid of Jin Luan.
Jin Luan, dressed in a red shirt, walked up and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't tell you these things. Fro is like this, don't mind. Let's join you? We really don't have the confidence to stick to the end in the competition between so many people, please."
She said it sincerely, making people unable to bear to refuse. However, Guo Lin didn't care and was happy to help others. Judging from Fu Luo's words just now, they seemed to have encountered something terrible. There were thirty places, which did not affect their promotion at all. Guo Lin swept his soul and enveloped a thousand people.
Most of the strengths of participating in the competition are below the King of Refining, but some people are at the higher level of King of Refining. As for soul refining, they are the only one. Of course, Guo Lin does not guarantee whether there are also those who can hide their aura like him.
The little prince smiled and said, "No problem, we are strong people from the Demon Realm, so it is wise to join us."
"Demon Realm?"
Jin Luan was slightly stunned and stepped back two steps, "You said, are you witch hunters?"
"Oh? So many beautiful girls. I like them. Turn around and show them to me." At this moment, a burst of excited voices rang out from behind Jinluan, making Guo Lin frown.
