The Lingyun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and the main peak is steep and soaring into the sky, hence the name Lingyun Peak.
Lingyun Peak is located in a country called Xuanyuan in the middle of Dongzhou. It has been the residence of Lingyun Sect for more than three thousand years. There are two roads to enter Lingyun Peak, one of which can go directly to the peak, but it is closed all year round. It can only be used in emergencies.
It is only activated during emergencies or important events. The other one is open to the outside world and requires passing through a mountain gate called Dengxian Gate. After passing Dengxian Gate, there is Dengxian Town, which is like a city.
This Dengxian Town is not under the jurisdiction of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. Its managers are appointed by the Lingyun Sect, and taxes are also collected by the Lingyun Sect. It is the main source of income in the world of the Lingyun Sect. Dengxian Town is famous for the fact that there is absolutely no robbery, and the bank is also very private and extremely safe.
Gao, there are always officials, gentry, martial arts knights, businessmen and traders coming and going on weekdays, each with different purposes, to settle in the town.
When Su Hao and his entourage arrived at the foot of Lingyun Peak, it was already the third day of the ten-day entrance test. They saw a long queue in front of the mountain gate and order was in order.
The disciples of the Lingyun Sect who were maintaining order saw the crowd setting up the carriage and ran over quickly. They politely asked the passengers to get off the horse and put the carriage and horses in the designated position. Teng Chong invited Tang Ke and Tang Huan to come down, and then ordered
The guards acted in accordance with the requirements. After completing the storage procedures, the guards rushed back and lined up to wait for the test.
Everyone has the opportunity to seek immortality, which is also the biggest benefit of accompanying a young lady on this trip.
The team moved forward slowly. Announcements with entry-level test rules could be seen everywhere, and there were people explaining the rules at regular intervals.
The Lingyun Sect opens its gate to recruit disciples every ten years. No matter what the identity of the person is, they can come for the test. As long as they meet the conditions, they will have a chance to be selected.
Of course, the Lingyun Sect, as a first-class sect, is not educated without distinction. The testing conditions are very relaxed, but it is extremely difficult to be selected.
For children under the age of fifteen, a single spiritual root is an inner disciple, and immortality can be expected; a double spiritual root is an outer disciple, and the Nascent Soul is in sight; and a third spiritual root can enter the outer disciples, and the golden elixir can be played. However, although the propaganda is
In this way, whether you can really get what you want depends on luck, and there are very few who really have luck.
As for the four spiritual roots and the five spiritual roots, they are treated like ordinary people without spiritual roots. It is not that they cannot cultivate, but it is extremely difficult to become a talent. It is rare to be able to practice Qi and get started. If you are lucky enough to build the foundation, you will really win the fortune of heaven and earth, so
According to the regulations, please turn right when you go out, collect your fare and go home.
If the age is over fifteen years old, only single spiritual roots and double spiritual roots will be accepted. The single spiritual roots will be the outer disciples, and the double spiritual roots will enter the outer disciples. During the training period

They will face very strict tests to eliminate foreign spies.
According to the rules, there is no upper age limit for the number of disciples recruited, but the examiner has principles. If you can pass the assessment, you may not be able to pass the examiner's opinion. After all, there are still certain restrictions on the number and standards for recruiting disciples, but this kind of restriction Lingyun Sect
I think it is not appropriate to announce it to the outside world, lest someone take the opportunity to cause trouble.
The exercises practiced by inner disciples are more advanced, followed by outer disciples, and then by outer disciples.
After three years of studying in the hall, those who pass the examination can become an outer disciple. If they fail, they can choose to return home or join the labor force.
Outer disciples will pass the assessment every year, and there will be one or two places to be promoted to inner disciples. Those who fail to pass the test for three consecutive years will return home or join the labor force.
Although inner sect disciples are also assessed, they are no longer promoted. Only resource allocation matters are assessed. However, the head or elders select direct disciples from inner sect disciples from time to time. If they become direct disciples, they will rise to the top in one step and truly become the core of Lingyun Sect. But if
If you fail the assessment for three consecutive years, you will be demoted to an outer disciple or become an outer deacon.
Outer Sect Deacons are the collective name for those who handle secular affairs and are responsible for managing the properties of Lingyun Sect in various places. Of course, the sect will also issue short-term tasks to disciples who have passed normal assessments to fill job vacancies.
The management models of other first-class or top sects are also roughly the same, so these contents are not considered confidential and are explained very thoroughly.
Many of the people queuing up were parents and their children, and some large families brought a group of children. There were also some twelve or thirteen-year-old children queuing up on their own, with panic on their faces, and some trying to look determined.
It looked like someone had robbed him of his sesame seed cakes. A little girl was so nervous that she kept hiccupping. She was so anxious that the more she hiccuped, the harder she hiccuped, which made people around her snicker.
Young people like Su Hao and even middle-aged and elderly testers are the largest in number. In the eyes of Lingyun Sect disciples, they are the type of people who focus on participation.
The queuing time was very long, and we had to spend the night in the open air. Lingyun School provided all-inclusive meals and mobile toilets, making the whole process not too arduous.
After queuing until noon the next day, Su Hao and others approached the testing area. From a distance, they saw a huge high platform standing in the center of the square in front of them. On the high platform, three Taoists were sitting at attention, as if they were resting their minds with their eyes closed. In front of the three people was placed a
The thick stone door has five transparent crystals inlaid on the inner wall. The tester only needs to stand in the stone door for a moment and receive the light of the crystals to measure the spiritual root attributes.
Most testers are full of expectations
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
They walk in the door and then go out with a dejected look. Those who burst into tears out of disappointment will always cause a lot of crying and then be quickly driven away. It would be better if the direct test shows that there is no spiritual root. After all, 99% of people
This is the case, but there are also relatively lucky people who light up the crystals. Just when they are about to celebrate excitedly, unexpectedly, the crystals all light up one after another. This is the worst of the five spiritual roots. The huge gap is even greater than that of those without spiritual roots. They want to die.
heart.
Occasionally, someone detects three spiritual roots, which always arouses envious exclamations from the people around them. If there are two spiritual roots or even a single spiritual root, the sound of exclamation will surge around like a tide and last for a long time.
Finally it was the turn of Su Hao and others. Teng Chong was the first to test, but he had no spiritual roots. He exhaled a long breath, very disappointed, then laughed at himself, and under the guidance of the Lingyun faction servants, went to the outside world.
.
If nothing else happens, Teng Chong will return to his family with other colleagues after the opening of the mountain gate. The next time he sees Miss Tang Ke, he doesn’t know what year or month it will be. It may be that this farewell will be an eternal farewell.
Tang Ke then walked into the stone door. Although it was confirmed that she had spiritual roots, she didn't know how many spiritual roots they were, so she was very nervous and rubbed her clothes uneasily. Then she heard a huge exclamation and looked up
, the crystal engraved with the logo representing the water spirit root is flashing blue light, the other crystals are not lit up, the water type single spirit root, the best spiritual root, the immortal path can be expected.
Tang Huan couldn't help clapping his hands and cheering, repeatedly shouting: "Miss, this is great."
Tang Ke's delicate face was also flushed with excitement, and he waved to Tang Huan repeatedly. The three Taoists next to him did not urge him, and they all had reserved smiles on their faces. They looked at Tang Ke with a deep sense of kindness, and even
She was allowed not to register after taking the test, but to stand there and wait.
Next is Tang Huan. This little girl has extremely high expectations for seeking immortality. Before she walked into the stone door, her whole body was trembling and buzzing. When the crystal representing the three systems of gold, wood, and fire shone, the other two crystals did not.
When there was movement, she was stunned for a long time. It was not until Tang Ke screamed and jumped at her that she realized that she had a third-line spiritual root and passed the test. The door of Xianyuan was half open to her.
, she had the hope of entering the outer school, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.
Tang Ke and Tang Huan held hands and entered the main hall deep in the square under the guidance of the outer door deacon. The three Taoists returned to the state of closing their eyes and meditating.
The guards tested them one by one, and except for one who was found to have four spiritual roots, the others had no spiritual roots, and they were all guided out.
