"The peak of foundation building! The peak of foundation building! You have lived like a dog for the past thirty years!?"
"In less than a month, you will be thirty years old. With your cultivation at the pinnacle of foundation building, you can't even meet the minimum standard for participating in the Wuji Sect's assessment. Do you expect the family to give you a back door and stuff you in?
Are you going to join the Wuji Sect? We can’t afford to look like this!”
"Even if the family goes bankrupt, I'm afraid the Wuji Sect will not want a waste like you!"
"Why did our Tan family have such a coward like you? Our Tan family has been completely disgraced by you!"
"Your eldest brother and eldest sister are all gifted by nature. When they were about twenty years old, they successfully passed the entry examination of Wuji Sect. Now they are all true disciples of Wuji Sect. Look at you again! What else do you have?
face!"
"Hmph, before you turn thirty, if you can't enter the Wuji Sect, you can honestly manage the family's chamber of commerce and provide financial support to your eldest brother and sister! From now on, don't have any extravagant expectations about the family's cultivation resources!
"
Tan Sheng's face turned red, and he walked out of the city with slumped shoulders. He held a wine bottle in his hand and walked unsteadily toward the Black Water Forest.
The stern voices of the family elders and the strange comments of the clan members constantly echoed in Tan Sheng's mind, tingling his nerves every time.
Tan Sheng is one of the three major families in Wuyuan City, the second young master of the Tan family. He has had a strong interest in cultivation since he was a child. His dream is to become a respected and strong man, wield a sword across the world, eliminate evil and evil, and act chivalrously.
, have a happy life!
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
Tan Sheng's talent is not very good. In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be pretty good, but in a big family like the Tan family, he is simply synonymous with waste.
Even though Tan Sheng put in many times more effort than others and enjoyed many cultivation resources because of his status, his cultivation level still improved very slowly.
It's simply a speed increase.
He is still one month away from turning 30, but Tan Sheng is only at the peak of foundation building. Looking at the Tan family, there are few people who are improving more slowly than him.
Within a thousand miles radius of Wuyuan City, the most powerful force is the Wuji Sect.
It is rumored that within the Wuji Sect, there is a powerful man in the digital god stage who is intimidating Xiao Xiao and no one dares to offend him.
Moreover, the Wuji Sect also contains many powerful martial arts and martial arts, which is a place that countless people dream of. Many people are proud to join the Wuji Sect. For them, joining the Wuji Sect is equivalent to a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, which completely changes their destiny.
Opportunity.
Even a big family like the Tan family wants to embrace the Wuji Sect tightly.
Tan Sheng is no exception, he also wants to join the Wuji Sect.
Not only for the sake of honoring our ancestors, but also for our own dream of becoming a strong man.
At the beginning of every year, the Wuji Sect will conduct an open recruitment assessment. As long as you pass the assessment, you can officially join the Wuji Sect and become an enviable and respected disciple of the Wuji Sect!
But joining the Wuji Sect is not an easy task.
The Wuji Sect's recruitment assessment has strict conditions. If you are no more than 18 years old, you only need to have a cultivation level of no less than the late stage of Qi Refining to participate in the assessment. If you are under 24 years old, the minimum cultivation level requirement is 100.
In the foundation stage, if you are under thirty years old, your cultivation level cannot be lower than the peak foundation stage. If you are thirty years old, your cultivation level must reach the Golden Core Stage at the very least!
If you do not meet the requirements for the corresponding age group, you will not be able to participate in the assessment.
As for those over thirty years old, no matter how powerful they are, Wuji Sect will never recruit them.
Moreover, participating in the assessment is only the first step. Next, you need to stand out in the assessment and achieve good results before you can enter the Wuji Sect.
Tan Sheng's eldest brother Tan Jun passed the Wuji Sect's examination at the age of seventeen with his peak Qi-refining cultivation and successfully entered the Wuji Sect. His eldest sister Tan Qingqing also passed the examination at the age of twenty and became a member of the Wuji Sect.
A disciple of the Wuji Sect.
As for Tan Sheng, when he was eighteen years old, he signed up for the assessment for the first time with his cultivation level in the late stage of Qi Refining, but failed. Subsequently, he either failed the assessment or his cultivation level did not meet the age requirements at that time. Even those who participated in the assessment failed.
No qualifications.
Now, Tan Sheng is over twenty-nine years old, and one month from now will be his last chance to take the Wuji Sect assessment. If he fails, Tan Sheng will completely miss the Wuji Sect.
But Tan Sheng will be thirty years old when he takes the assessment this time. If he wants to be qualified to take the assessment, he must reach the golden elixir stage before the assessment day!
It's been less than a month now.
It's just that the leap between the peak of foundation building and the golden elixir stage is really too difficult. Tan Sheng has stayed at the peak of foundation building for more than two years, but he still can't touch the barrier to breakthrough.
The formation of golden elixir seems to be far away.
If he is still unable to enter Wuji Sect this time, Tan Sheng will be forced to give up cultivation and concentrate on running the family chamber of commerce, and the family will also withdraw all training resources from Tan Sheng.
The family is ruthless.
The Tan family will not waste resources on a useless person.
If that's the case, Tan Sheng may not be able to form a golden elixir in his entire life.
Tan Sheng was very depressed.
He once had great ambitions, he had suffered repeated defeats, and was tenacious. He had also made lofty ambitions and vowed to join the Wuji Sect.
But reality struck him again and again, draining Tan Sheng's fighting spirit away.
With less than a month left, Tan Sheng knew that there was no hope for him to break through, so he became desperate and began to give up on himself and resorted to drinking to drown his sorrows.
"Hiccup~"
Tan Sheng let out a wine burp, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, smiled bitterly, swayed twice, sat down on the ground, and took a few more sips of the wine bottle "TonTonTon".
"Hehe, hehehe. Tan Sheng, Tan Sheng, you are an absolute waste!"
"Still want to join the Wuji Sect? Go ahead and dream of your dreams!"
"Hiccup~"
Tan Sheng was crying and laughing to himself, like a madman.
Fortunately, it was late at night and there was no one outside the city. Otherwise, there is no telling how many people would have looked at me strangely.
"Brother, drinking alone is boring. Do you mind if I come with you?"
A magnetic voice came to Tan Sheng's ears.
He tried hard to raise his eyelids and turned around to look, and saw a stranger about his age, wearing a simple robe, with a long sword slung across his back, his hair tied in a bun, and a strand of hair hanging down from each sideburn.
Swinging in the night wind.
With sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, he was full of energy and looked quite chivalrous.
Tan Sheng actually liked to make friends with "people in the world", but today he was in a low mood and was not in the mood, so he just glanced at him and then looked away.
Unexpectedly, the man sat down on the floor next to Tan Sheng in a familiar manner. He also held a wine bottle in his hand. He touched Tan Sheng's wine bottle and said, "It's so boring to drink alone. Come on, let's drink together."
.”
"haha okay!"
Maybe it was the magnetism of this man's voice that made Tan Sheng instinctively like him, or maybe it was the wine that narrowed the distance between the two.
Tan Sheng actually started drinking with a stranger.
"If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow. A cup of wine can relieve all kinds of sorrows and hardships!"
The swordsman sat on the ground with his head raised and his mouth wide open. He held the wine bottle and poured a stream of wine into his mouth.
"What a man, if you have wine today, you will get drunk today! Well said, do it!"
Tan Sheng grinned and imitated the swordsman's behavior, drinking wine boldly.
Soon, Tan Sheng became drunk.
"Plop!"
Tan Sheng fell to the ground on his back with blurred eyes, raised his eyelids twice, and finally closed them heavily.
"hehe……"
The swordsman looked at Tan Sheng, who was drunk and unconscious, and laughed inexplicably.
His eyes were as bright as stars, shining especially brightly in this dark night.
