The atmosphere today is particularly lively because New Year's Eve has just passed and today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. I still remember the marriage granted by the emperor back then.
It was even more lively that year, and all officials from the imperial court, big and small, came to the Chen Mansion to give gifts.
But how big the excitement is, how big things will be after that.
Chen Xuanqing escaped from marriage.
Just the day before the wedding, dozens of big men were chasing him at full speed, but they didn't even see a single figure!
And today.
The same scene happened again in Qianyang City.
But this time, it was not an escape from marriage.
But Chen Ling, the second daughter of the Chen family, is going to seek immortality.
Chen's father brought many people to escort Chen Ling all the way. The scene was quite grand, and those who didn't know thought it was some princess who was getting married.
Chen Ling was a little nervous while sitting in the carriage, "Mom, if I go, will I be like my elder brother and not be able to come back for several years?"
Mother Chen shook her head, "No, it's probably just that your elder brother is too busy."
"It's true that your brother has promised to welcome you in person, but now that the day has come, he is nowhere to be found."
Chen Ling pouted, "Maybe I'm busy with something else."
Mother Chen smiled and said, "That's right, otherwise your brother wouldn't be able to forget your biological sister."
"Don't be nervous. Don't you hate getting married? Now it's better. Once you enter the Xian family, no one will force you to get married anymore."
Chen Ling smiled and said, "Don't immortals even get married?"
Mother Chen thought for a moment and found that she had never heard of an immortal getting married.
"It seems, indeed not."
Chen Ling gave a bad laugh and said, "Then my brother will be a bachelor for the rest of his life?"
Mother Chen smiled and shook her head. The Chen family now has descendants. If nothing unexpected happens, the brother and sister can really go and live freely.
"By the way, when your brother escaped from marriage, did you help him?"
Chen Ling heard this and said: "Isn't that so-and-so princess so unruly? If my brother marries her, why would he let her bully him every day?"
"For the sake of my brother's happiness, I helped him escape from marriage."
"But I didn't expect that my eldest brother was actually heading for the Xian family. I covered him at that time and took a carriage all the way to Lanxi Town, where he was driven down."
"By the way, he even picked up a beggar on the way!"
"That's right, that's right, what's the name of the guy who came to our house last time?"
"Yes, brother with kidney deficiency!"
Mother Chen smiled and shook her head, "It must be Jingxu. Your kid has been like your brother since he was a child, deliberately causing mischief."
Gradually, it started to get dark.
Chen Ling's carriage passed by Lanxi Town, and the scenery was still the same as before.
And arriving at Lanxi Town means that they are getting closer to Taixu Immortal Sect.
…
The next day.
early morning.
Chen Ling felt tired, "But after all, after this day and night, my daughter feels like her skeleton is falling apart."
Mother Chen couldn't help but feel worried when she looked at Chen Ling. Her daughter had not endured hardships since she was a child, and she didn't know what to do if she entered the immortal sect.
Got off the carriage.
Chen Ling's eyes lit up. The mountains were majestic and continuous, and the misty clouds and mist above them looked like a fairyland. It was really magnificent and ripples.
There is only one way up the mountain.
It is usually very deserted here, and there are even formations blocking the path so no one can find it.
But today is the Taixu Immortal Sect’s once-in-ten-year immortal test.
Watching the snow on the road being trampled by people, there is an endless stream of people going up the mountain.
Chen Ling looked back at her parents and said, "I'm leaving, dad and mom!"
Mother Chen nodded, "You should take good care of yourself."
Father Chen sat in front of the carriage and smiled, "Remember what your elder brother said, if anyone dares to bully you, go to him!"
Chen Ling smiled, "Okay, my daughter knows."
Ten years ago, she was only eight years old.
I followed Chen Xuanqing by car all the way to Lanxi Town and got off, and then I was taken back by several soldiers who were chasing Chen Xuanqing.
I didn't come here last time. Everything here is very new to Chen Ling.
Following the crowd all the way to the top of the mountain, Chen Ling saw a huge square with a stone monument standing in front of it.
It is written on the stone tablet that beyond is the Taixu Immortal Sect.
And here is the place where the outer disciples take the Immortal Examination.
There is a stone platform in the center of the square. Everyone is lined up around this stone platform, looking up at a young man in white on the platform.
"This is the first time we meet. My name is Wang Sheng, and my name is Chuanxi. You can call me Senior Brother Chuanxi. It must be your first time to participate in the Immortal Examination."
"I will let my senior brother explain to you the process of the Immortal Examination."
"First of all, the first level of the Immortal Examination is the qualification test."
"You will come on stage one by one in a moment. The magic circle on the stage will test your qualifications. These five stone pillars correspond to the five elements of spiritual roots."
"Lighting up the corresponding color means that you have the corresponding spiritual roots, and you have also seen that these pillars have five levels."
"Each level corresponds to a grade of spiritual root. The first level corresponds to the waste spiritual root. This kind of spiritual root is almost unable to transform spiritual energy."
"The second level corresponds to pseudo-spiritual roots. This type of spiritual root converts spiritual energy very slowly."
"The third level corresponds to Zhenglinggen, which is also the minimum standard for our Taixu Immortal Sect to recruit disciples. We will not accept anyone below Zhenglinggen!"
"The fourth level corresponds to the Earth Spiritual Root. If you have the qualifications for the Earthly Spiritual Root, you don't have to pass the next two tests and can enter the inner gate directly!"
"The fifth level corresponds to the Heavenly Spiritual Root. If any of you have Heavenly Spiritual Root, then congratulations, you can follow me to see the leader now."
"Then this is the situation of the first level. Those who have reached the Zhenglinggen qualification can continue to participate in the test of the next two levels."
"The second level is the Heart-Questioning Tribulation. It's not too difficult. You can pass it if you haven't done anything harmful to nature or have any thoughts that endanger the sect."
"The third level is to climb the ladder. This level tests your willpower. Okay, that's all I have to say. So, who will take the stage first?"
Chen Ling listened and thought for a while, "Senior Brother Chuanxi?"
"The Taoist names of people from the Immortal Family are so strange."
Here, Chen Ling didn't move.
The first person to take the stage was a middle-aged man. After he took the stage, he stood on top of the magic circle as Brother Chuanxi said.
boom!
There was a strange sound, and the three stone pillars on the array trembled, emitting cyan, gold and red light respectively!
The three spiritual roots of wood, metal and fire.
I saw these three kinds of spiritual energy rising upwards, and finally reached the third level together!
Seeing this, Senior Brother Chuanxi nodded, "Okay, with level C qualifications, you can participate in the next two trials."
The man nodded his thanks and left.
Gradually, more and more people came to the stage for testing. There were at least a few thousand people present, but there were only a thousand people who took the stage to test.
But there were only more than 200 people who passed the first test.
Just because of their spiritual roots, how many people have been eliminated?
After a few rounds of reading, Chen Ling understood that people with righteous spiritual roots basically have two or three spiritual roots.
The waste spiritual roots and false spiritual roots are particularly casual. Some have all five elements of spiritual roots, and some only have a single spiritual root.
But Chen Ling recalled what Chen Xuanqing said at this time, "Eldest brother said that I have excellent qualifications, so what kind of spiritual root do I have?"
