After following the flow of people leaving to the road, as expected, at the fork in the mountainside, almost 80% of the people were heading towards the trial ground, making the road, which was not wide, a bit crowded. Everyone was still standing at the fork in the road, queuing up to go to the trial site. I don’t know if the training ground can accommodate so many people, but according to inference, the ancestors of Shushan must have considered the number of people when they opened this place, otherwise the maximum capacity of the teaching hall would not be There will be a thousand people. Logically speaking, this trial ground should be of this size.
While queuing up with three others, Ye Qingcheng noticed that although some people did go back to the residential area, more people were watching or hesitating. After seeing that most of the people were going to the trial ground, these people sighed and started to line up. After all, if they lost, they would have to stay in Sword City for two years. It would be difficult to save so much money. A little Yuan Jing might be wasted there by then, so instead of doing that, it would be better to use it here.
So in the end, the proportion of people who didn't go to the trial ground was actually only 20%, and it wasn't that they didn't want to go or were reluctant, but they really didn't have Yuan Jing. There were many of them like Zuo Wei, who originally planned to go to the Lower Fourth Academy. He signed up, but was found to have spiritual roots and was sent to the Upper Fourth Hospital to sign up. If it weren't for Ye Qingcheng, Zuo Wei would have been in the same situation as these people. They only had a small amount of silver, not to mention that they couldn't exchange it. Even if they could find someone willing to exchange it, they couldn't get it together. How many yuan crystals I have, I don't dare to spend them on a place like the trial field.
Some people may say that this is unfair. It is clearly stated that it is a fair competition and only the best ones will be selected to enter the upper four courtyards. However, this will create a gap between these new disciples who have no knowledge of the world of cultivation before and those such as Ye Qingcheng and The gap between people like Qian Wanliang. However, as everyone knows, sometimes luck is also a part of strength. People like these who become cultivators the day after tomorrow have lower starting points and qualifications than others. Not many of them can stand out. If they want to surpass those who are already stronger than them Yes, it naturally requires some opportunities. If you are lucky, you may be able to do it.
As mentioned before, the mortals in the human world are as numerous as the rivers of water. Why can you become cultivators while others have to live their mediocre lives? There is also an element of luck in this. Even so many people with supreme spiritual roots will die as mortals. What excuse do you have to say that God is unfair?
Seeing that so many people had no choice but to go back with helplessness, Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional. If conditions allowed, he might really want to give his Yuan Jing to these guys. After all, the number of Yuan Jing he had now was too big for China. For low-level cultivators, it is simply an astronomical figure. But he knew very well that he couldn't do this, not only because these people were also competitors, but also because he couldn't encourage dependence. Cultivators can only become masters by overcoming thousands of difficulties by themselves. They always rely on others. Human help cannot achieve anything. Even the rules of heaven and earth know this. Therefore, anyone who relies on external force to overcome the small heavenly tribulation and golden thunder tribulation is destined to be weaker than the normal existence of the same level.
After queuing for a long time, Ye Qingcheng and the others finally arrived at the entrance of the trial ground. It was said to be a trial ground, but it was actually the entrance to a forest. According to the conversations of people around, it seemed that the trial ground was in this forest. , but the forest here naturally has no connection with the forest below the mountain, and there are no monsters in it. Although they were separated by a certain distance, Ye Qingcheng's eyesight was very good, and he saw several disciples from the Fourth Academy at the entrance collecting fees. Every time a new disciple paid the corresponding fee, they would issue a spiritual tablet. And he wrote something on it with a pen, and then the new disciple entered the forest and disappeared.
According to Ye Qingcheng's conjecture, this entrance should be the same space entrance as when they participated in the interview review before. According to the token issued to you, you will be teleported to a specific area in the forest, so that others cannot disturb you, and you can You can exercise with peace of mind, or wait for Mr. Wu's guidance.
Sure enough, as the leader of the four-person group, he lined up ahead of the other three and was the first to arrive at the door of the trial ground.
The disciple from the Upper Fourth Academy who was responsible for collecting the money glanced at him and said without even asking: "One hour of five yuan crystals. Based on the time when Mr. Wu may arrive at your place, it is recommended to start with two hours. "
Ye Qingcheng thought about it in his mind. Five yuan crystals for one hour is not expensive. After all, even the fee of Qian Wanliang is only five yuan crystals for one time. This price is indeed relatively cheap and close to the people. Although relatively speaking, twelve hours costs sixty yuan crystals, which is more expensive than the price of an ordinary courtyard in the West Lake Villa for one day, but I don’t think anyone would stay in such a place for twelve hours. Is it still acceptable? , still acceptable.
After taking out five low-level elemental crystals and handing them to the disciple of the Upper Fourth Academy, the guy took out a token from his storage bag and handed it to the disciple holding the Zhuhao pen next to him. Ye Qingcheng noticed that the guy controlled the Zhu Haobi with his spiritual thoughts and wrote something on his token. After taking the token, he looked at it and found that what was written on it was a It was a character he didn't recognize. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to call Huan Chenyu out and recognize it.
Seeing that he was looking at the text, the disciple holding the Zhuhao pen smiled and said: "Junior brother seems to be interested in this kind of writing, right? In fact, it was a popular text in a certain cultivation era in the past. I don't know why. Later, it gradually disappeared, but it is still used in many ways. For example, I am now demarcating the time for your token. The text I wrote on it is 'two hours', which is the training ground purchased by my junior brother. Use the time, and when the time is up, the words will disappear and you will come back to our door, because the paint used is special and cannot be adulterated."
"That's it. Thank you for your advice, senior brother." Ye Qingcheng nodded. No wonder two people were specially sent. It turned out that one was specifically responsible for writing this kind of text... However, he just mentioned the era of cultivation, and Huan Chenyu had also said something before. In the previous era, were there still many eras for cultivators? Just like the imperial court in the Central Plains, it seems that if you have time, you should ask carefully.
