Near midnight, the rain finally stopped. Silks of sunlight penetrated the clouds and illuminated everything.
"Husband, everything is packed."
Wang Shuyue said as she arranged her hair and earrings one last time in front of the bronze mirror.
She put on Zhao Qing's clothes. The light blue robe, which was washed until it turned white, could not hide her exquisite curves. She applied some makeup on her eyebrows, but it didn't look vulgar at all, but looked more charming.
After Zhao Qing checked that the courtyard door was locked again, he left Huozaofang with his wife and went to Zongmen Square to join in the fun.
Soon, they met many handyman disciples, including some familiar people, so they joined the crowd and walked together.
"I don't know how many people will be able to directly become outer disciples this year."
"Outer door? I remember there were only three or five last year, right? Don't talk about these useless things. It would be great if we could give our Spirit Mine Workshop more female cultivators."
"It's my mother-in-law's fault. I was deceived into mining and said there was oil and water. That's nonsense! I stayed in the mine for more than half a month, and I couldn't even see a woman."
"Brother, how many nights do you want to go out and relax? I recently found a good place. It's very refreshing! And it's very fun!"
Zhao Qing and his wife listened to the dirty talk in their ears, looked at each other, and remained silent listeners.
"The Spiritual Mine Workshop is already pretty good! Look at our Dancao Workshop, everyone is subcontracting spiritual plants. If the spiritual plants don't grow well, the person in charge will be punished! It's up to us handymen to decide whether the spiritual medicine grows well or not. Does it count?"
"Anyway, I might be called out for a beating one day..."
A wealthy monk sneered: "You have a lot of girls in Dancaofang. They are much better than us. I heard that there are Pai Gow pushers everywhere in Dancaofang at night."
The two sides are clearly divided. You say something and I say something, fighting for the best.
Occasionally, someone would take a sneak peek at Wang Shuyue, but they would soon ignore her after realizing that she was a mortal.
"Eh? This brother, you are from Dancaofang, you seem very familiar to me." The strong man greeted Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing:......
"This senior brother, I am from Huozaofang."
Everyone looked at each other awkwardly and agreed not to discuss this topic again.
Approaching the square, it was already crowded with people.
Countless servants, wearing exclusive lavender robes, lined up on both sides of the stone steps to watch the ceremony.
As soon as Zhao Qing and others arrived here, they saw a senior brother wearing the clothes of an outer disciple walking straight towards them, which made them a little nervous.
The senior brother was quite young, and wrinkles could already be seen, and his big yellow teeth were revealed when he smiled.
"Are you from our Danxia Sect?"
He finally walked to Wang Shuyue and asked.
The girl was a little nervous and looked at her husband.
Zhao Qing didn't know why, so he smiled apologetically and said, "Senior brother, this is my disciple's first wife."
The outer disciple suddenly smiled brightly: "That's it, the family members are also ours, hurry up! Stand forward."
He pointed to the steps of the square, where newcomers came from time to time to participate in the Immortal Assembly.
Seeing this, everyone understood.
There are naturally many beautiful women in Danxia Sect, but not all of them like to join in the fun. At this time, the more beautiful women, the better.
The girl looked at her husband, Zhao Qing thought for a moment and said, "Go, I'll go with you."
Anyway, we are just onlookers. It doesn’t matter where we stand. If we stand closer, we can see more clearly.
The handyman disciples around them had already noticed the situation here, and they all cheered: "Let's go, let's push forward. Brothers and sisters, don't be afraid, we are all going over."
Seeing this situation, Wang Shuyue was not so nervous anymore.
"We've all benefited from it. I've never been so close, except for the first time."
"Nonsense, who wasn't at the front for the first time?"
"Brother, you are so lucky. My sister-in-law is so beautiful. Look at them. They are all little bastards secretly looking at me." A young person who likes to make fun of her joked.
Zhao Qing smiled and said nothing, but felt a little bit proud in his heart.
But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by the new young men and women who came to take the assessment.
The voices of the sect's deacons were heard from time to time in the square, which were amplified by the spiritual array and spread far away.
"Li Hu, who is at the peak of his innate nature and has middle-grade earth spiritual roots, can report to Dancaofang!"
"Sun Pengfei has a level of Qi refining and dual-system miscellaneous spiritual roots. The golden spiritual roots are middle grade and the earth spiritual roots are low grade. You can report to the Spiritual Mine Workshop!"
The deacon's voice echoed for more than ten miles around. The Danxia Sect had three purposes for doing this.
The first is to give the many disciples who are watching the ceremony a preliminary impression, and the second is to notify the managers of each handyman workshop to come and collect people.
The third point is the most important, which is to tell the outside world how many people our Danxia Sect has admitted this year. Even ordinary people will feel yearned for it when they hear it. When the family members of the disciples hear it, they will feel sad on their faces. Light.
Zhao Qing glanced around casually and caught a glimpse of Wang Teng from a distance. The other party also glanced at him, but quickly glanced past him without any communication.
"Look! This is really good, it's quite exciting!"
There was a slight noise in the crowd, and everyone followed the sound, and it was difficult to move their eyes.
I saw a female cultivator walking up the stairs. She was wearing an off-white silk embroidered blouse on her upper body and a light pink and blue embroidered skirt on her lower body. A sachet hung on her waist, swaying as her body swayed.
Curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, handsome and graceful.
The most important thing is her temperament that is hard to ignore. Although she is smiling, she makes people feel cold, with a chill that repels people thousands of miles away.
"This is good. It would be great if this came to our Lingkuang Mine!"
"Junior Sister! Junior Sister, with her natural talents, she will definitely be able to join the Danxia Sect. Remember to come to our Ling Mine Workshop! I will protect you when you arrive at the Ling Mine Workshop! My name is Zhang Qiuyang!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhao Qing silently pulled Wang Shuyue behind him.
The aloof female cultivator stopped and saluted the She Niu patient who reported her family status, her red lips slightly parted: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, I'll take note of it, little lady."
The male cultivator from Lingkuang Mine laughed loudly, even to the point of convulsing with excitement. Zhao Qing silently took a step back to avoid infecting himself.
But that woman is really good-looking, with a tall figure. In her previous life, she was definitely a celebrity-level temperament lady.
Even Wang Shuyue whispered: "She is so beautiful, but a little too cold."
Zhao Qing nodded slightly, deeply convinced. A woman who can make women praise her appearance is truly extraordinary.
After more than half an hour, there was an exclamation from the crowd, followed by the deacon's voice.
"Lu Zheng, peak innate, high-grade fire spirit root, red spirit body! Can enter the outer gate!"
There was an uproar in the square.
Going out!
This year’s first outer disciple was born!
"You're only in the innate realm, and you entered the outer gate before you even stepped into Qi refining?"
"Red spirit body! I don't know how old he is..." A female cultivator communicated in a low voice.
Everyone discussed for a while, and Zhao Qing also sighed a few words.
This is the talent gap, an insurmountable gap. As long as the qualifications are good enough, you can join the outer sect directly without reaching the late stage of Qi refining.
As for the handyman disciples, they just came to join in the fun, take a look, walk around, complain and sigh, get to know the new disciples, and find some psychological comfort.
Zhao Qing thought of the past. When he was studying at Pheasant University in his previous life, he liked to follow his roommates to check out the recruitment of the prestigious school next door and watch the freshman entrance ceremony, although it had nothing to do with them.
Suddenly, a biting chill spread out, the sky seemed to be a little gloomier, and there was a commotion in the center of the square, as if a pot was exploding.
Everyone was staring straight at the stone tablet for testing spiritual roots.
"Excellent!"
"The best water spirit root!"
After the crowd was confused for a while, the deacon's voice came slowly. He did not announce his name or spiritual roots, but only two words: "Quiet!"
Someone with good eyesight saw the female cultivator undergoing the test and immediately exclaimed: "Qiuyang! Qiuyang, it's the junior sister just now!"
Zhang Qiuyang had a complicated expression and slapped the man on the head: "I'm not blind! Stop shouting! Stop shouting!"
Zhao Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.
It turned out to be the best spiritual root, and he might even directly enter the inner sect or even become a legendary direct disciple.
It is difficult to become an immortal because the talent gap is too big. A middle-grade spiritual root can enter the late stage of Qi refining in ten years and be promoted to the outer sect. How long does it take for a top-grade spiritual root to reach the late stage of Qi refining?
Can't even think about it.
After a long time, an old voice came out: "Zhou Xiaoyi, the best water spirit root, in the early stage of Qi refining. Temporarily listed as an outer sect, after establishing the foundation, I will be promoted to a direct successor!"
There was an uproar on the field: "Personal transmission! Personal transmission! It's Elder Jindan who came forward!"
"Stop looking! Be careful, they will take revenge on you!"
Zhao Qing sounded a little confused. According to previous years, entering the outer gate is the outer gate, and the inner gate is the inner gate. Is there any reason to temporarily enter the outer gate?
He thought for a while, it had nothing to do with him anyway, so he didn't care.
"Shu Yue, I remembered something important. Let's go back."
The girl turned around in confusion, and then quickly realized, her pretty face turned red in an instant. Taking small steps, she followed her husband out of the square.
While watching the ceremony, Zhao Qing was full of emotions. The Immortal Ascension Conference is indeed well-deserved, but not many people can become immortals. Only those with extremely talented people can take one step forward and distinguish between immortals and mortals.
Zhao Qing was greatly stimulated and now he wanted to go home, close the door and catch up on the progress.
