"Which one of them do you think can come out first?" Outside the white mist, Zhang Zhiming and Zhang Mengyao stood side by side.
They are already true disciples, so there is no need to repeat the test when going up the mountain.
"It's not important. There is no difference between going out early and going out late." Zhang Mengyao said lightly, "This test of state of mind is not to see through or let go, but to draw strength from the beautiful memories of the past, so as to have the strength to fight against the loneliness of the future. And the courage of many years.”
"That's true." Zhang Zhiming was silent for a moment and agreed, "Things like state of mind are elusive, but many times, they are more important than anything else."
"That's right. Having an original intention that remains unchanged despite the vicissitudes of time, and always maintaining love and courage for the world, may be far more important than those so-called spiritual objects, magic techniques, and great ways." A clear and hearty voice sounded beside them.
"Huh?!" Zhang Zhiming and Zhang Mengyao were stunned when they heard this, and immediately followed the sound, only to see a figure walking out of the white mist.
"It's you." The two immediately recognized the person who came out, "Junior Brother Lin."
The person who walked out was Lin Chen. Not only that, they felt that there was an indescribable change in the other person's whole person.
If we say that his temperament originally had an indescribable sense of purity, there was also a feeling of coldness.
Now, there is a kind of clearness and clarity, just like the gentle rain on the spring mountain, which seems warm and calm.
His smile is as vibrant as the rising sun, and as deep into the heart as the bright moon.
"Junior brother, what are you..." The two of them glanced at each other, and when they saw him, it was as if they saw themselves as children when they were full of curiosity about the world and always maintained that loving heart.
"It's okay." Lin Chen smiled softly.
"It seems that junior brother has gained a lot." Zhang Mengyao was silent for a while and said.
"It's just that I have become more determined in my goal." Lin Chen looked at Qiongye in the distance, "In my opinion, immortality is a dialogue between time and individuals, whether it is strength or longevity, these are not what I want to pursue. …”
"Then what is junior brother pursuing?"
Lin Chen glanced at the two of them and smiled without saying a word.
The two looked at each other and were about to ask something more, but they seemed to sense something. Looking into the fog, they saw only a shadowy figure, and then walked out quickly.
It’s... Zhang Hao.
Lin Chen glanced at the other person, only to see that the other person's eyes were more determined, and his face had an indescribable perseverance.
"It seems that Junior Brother Zhang has also found what he wants to pursue. I wonder if you can reveal it?" Zhang Zhiming took a look and asked casually.
After all, this kind of thing is not taboo or secret. Of course, whether you answer it or not is completely up to you.
"Power, only power is eternal in this world. Only with enough power can you do whatever you want." Zhang Hao glanced at a few people, was silent for a moment, and then said.
"Indeed, the power of this world is the key." Lin Chen nodded, seeming to agree.
"Then we still have Wang Cheng, so we don't know when he will come out." Zhang Mengyao said.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Zhiming said.
After a while, Wang Cheng came out of the fog.
As soon as he came out with a smile on his face, Zhang Zhiming lost interest in asking.
"Let's go."
"Hey, wait, aren't you interested in what I want to pursue?" Wang Cheng shouted quickly when he saw several people turning around to leave.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately ran to Lin Chen and kept chattering: "Senior Brother Lin, do you know? I think the most important thing in life is feelings..."
Lin Chen smiled politely, his ears automatically filtered out his words, and followed the team.
Soon, they came to an open space.
"This is..." When Lin Chen and the other three were confused, they heard a ding sound and the scenery in front of them suddenly changed.
A huge spiritual tree covering nearly half of the mountain appeared in front of everyone.
Its shade covers hundreds of meters, and countless Yimu spiritual energy turns into little green lights and falls from the tree.
Its spiritual leaves are green and full of vitality, and where the flowers and fruits are, there are spiritual plants of different shapes and colors.
Chama Zhi, Indestructible Wood, Dreaming Grass, Sound Transmission Flower...all kinds of magical spiritual plants of Qingyun Sect are appearing in it!
And underneath, there is an endless, lush medicinal garden. Every spiritual plant in it has reached the second level and is being nourished by the spiritual energy of Yimu falling on the trees.
At this moment, an old man with white hair and a childlike face, a fairy-like demeanor, was floating in the air sitting on top of many spiritual plants, smiling at everyone.
"See Master Changqing!" The five people bowed one after another.
"Get up." Master Changqing smiled softly and nodded. At the same time, a huge spiritual pressure filled the air, and there was divine consciousness exploring the three of them, and two golden elixir spiritual energy phantoms appeared, watching them.
This is the spiritual incarnation of Jindan Zhenren, who came to participate in the ceremony of the true disciples on their behalf.
Feeling their probing, Lin Chen just stood there openly.
All of his own methods lie in knowledge and research, rather than magic weapons from the Immortal Mansion. Unless he has the means to read people's hearts, these things cannot be detected at all.
As for his most important body spirit and Zifu, the former Jindan Daoist may not necessarily know what its use is, but the latter can even eliminate the murderous intention involving the level of god transformation, and it is impossible for the other party to detect it.
Soon, the three of them relaxed, obviously. Detection has been passed.
Master Changqing nodded with satisfaction, turned around with the two spiritual energy incarnations, and pointed his finger in the air.
Suddenly, countless light spots fell on the huge spiritual tree, and finally formed a clear figure. Then, around him, figures appeared one after another.
This is the founder of Qingyun Sect, Zhenren Qingyun, and the golden elixir ancestors of the generation!
The three real people bowed to him respectfully.
After the ceremony was over, Master Changqing turned around and looked at the three people who had been waiting for a long time.
"Lin Chen, he was twenty-two years old, and his cultivation level was..."
"With good conduct and both ability and political integrity, he can be a true disciple."
Master Changqing spoke slowly, first briefly telling Lin Chen's background and resume, and then went on to tell him about his meritorious service to the sect, as well as the official tasks he had performed.
After the final summary, it was announced that he could be promoted to a true disciple.
After finishing the information given by the three people one after another, Master Changqing said solemnly: "The sect taught you the skills, gave you the resources, and trained you to be successful, so that you can achieve what you have today."
"As a true disciple, you should be a role model for ordinary disciples. From now on, you should strictly abide by the sect's rules and spare no effort for the development and growth of the sect."
"."
"If you dare to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors, kill each other in the same sect, or violate the sect rules, there will no longer be a place for you in heaven and on earth, and the sect will definitely clean up the door."
"If you can do all of the above, you will take the inner demon oath, and from now on you will be the true disciples."
The solemn and solemn face of Master Chang Qing carries an inexplicable majesty that is intimidating.
Every word he spoke was upright and majestic, and seemed to be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Lin Chen took this scene into his eyes, keeping a serious look on his face, but there was no trace of emotion in his heart.
There are no special requirements for the next oath, and this inner demon oath is not particularly strict either.
As long as they don't bully their teachers and destroy their ancestors, kill fellow sect members, or do all kinds of "rebellious and unethical" things, there are almost no restrictions.
It was not until the end that Master Chang Qing said: "You need to hand over a drop of your life essence and blood to the sect to make a soul lamp."
After finishing speaking, the three of them hesitated for a moment, but in the end they handed over their life essence and blood.
Master Changqing carefully investigated and found that the breath of these three drops of blood was exactly the same as his own, so he couldn't help but nodded and put it away.
When Lin Chen saw this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that he had successfully concealed it.
"From now on, you are the true disciples of our sect." Master Changqing smiled kindly and said kindly.
"Whether it is the provision of spiritual objects for promotion to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the share of platform spiritual stones within the sect, or the spiritual plants that belong to you, or the distribution of impact golden elixir spiritual objects in the future... these are the benefits of being a true disciple, of course. , if you want to enjoy the benefits, you must naturally bear the responsibilities..."
Having said this, Master Changqing paused and glanced at the three of them.
"I will go through fire and water for the sect, no matter what!" Lin Chen saw this and immediately stood up without hesitation, with an upright look on his face.
"So are we." The other two people were stunned and quickly agreed.
"My sincere heart towards the sect can be learned from heaven and earth..."
"So are we!"
"Ahem!" Master Changqing coughed a few times and quickly stopped Lin Chen's eloquent speech.
"The sect already knows your loyalty. Right now, there happens to be this very dangerous but extremely important thing that needs to be entrusted to you, because it is related to the sect's life and death."
There was a sudden silence in the venue.
Master Changqing's face twitched, but he still said calmly: "If it can be done, the sect will definitely reward you heavily!"
"It is our duty to share the worries of our ancestor!" Lin Chen's passionate voice sounded again.
"I dare to ask Patriarch Changqing, what is the important matter?" Zhang Zhiming, who had just been thinking on the side, said.
Some time ago, he and Luo Ziyan had been investigating the sale of foundation-building secrets in Fangshi, and did not return until the sect was attacked.
Zhang Mengyao on the side had just returned from Jiangcheng, and the two of them were still not sure about the current situation of the sect.
"It's very simple. We need you to go to a secret realm to fight for something." Master Changqing said slowly.
Secret realm? Where did the secret realm come from in Lingnan?
Zhang Zhiming and Zhang Mengyao looked at each other.
They knew the origin of the Qingyun Sect, but they didn't pay too much attention to the core of the place where the gods fell.
On the one hand, the core location of the place where the transformed gods fell is the real secret. Unless they know it from the ancient monk cave, few people in Lingnan know its location.
On the other hand, they are more concerned about promotion and foundation building than these ancient secrets.
Facing the doubtful looks of everyone, Master Changqing finally said slowly: "The secret realm that I want you to fight for this time is the place where the transformed god fell."
