Let’s ignore the heated discussions from the outside world for now.
On the examination table, Elder Yin Tao smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face. He stood up and personally sent Xiang Shu to the second level of the whirlpool.
This made Xiang Shu feel a little strange.
Although super-grade spiritual roots are rare, given the size of the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect, every time it recruits a disciple, it should be able to receive a few, and there are probably not a few super-grade immortal seedlings in the sect.
Moreover, the fairy seedlings were just fairy seedlings after all, so why did Elder Baimei be so enthusiastic?
She was confused in her heart, but she remained calm on the outside. She put away the "Deception" formation plate with a flash of light in her hand, and stepped into the vortex.
His vision was dark for a moment, Xiang Shu landed on his feet, and the scene in front of him changed drastically.
I saw an extremely vast stone platform densely covered with futons. At a rough count, there were no less than one hundred thousand.
In front of the futon, there is a stone wall with a height of more than ten feet. There are lines of huge golden writing on it, which even a mortal child can see clearly.
"It's actually a simple sword technique that also combines body training techniques." Chinese website
Xiang Shu saw the true meaning of the Shibi Jue at a glance, and immediately understood that the second test was probably from this sword strategy.
She stopped looking at it and randomly chose a futon to sit cross-legged.
Of the 100,000 futons on Shitai, only one-tenth of them are currently occupied by people, and most of them are gathered near the stone wall. Sitting alone in an empty and uninhabited land at the back like Xiang Shu was quite eye-catching, attracting many people to look at him.
As time goes by, the first level of verification is coming to an end, and there are more and more fairy seedlings on the stone platform.
People began to sit down sporadically near Xiang Shen, most of whom were lonely and far away from each other.
Xiang Shen was enjoying the peace and quiet, when he suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and saw a young man in rich clothes sitting on the adjacent futon on the right.
"My name is Wu Lingcheng."
Wu Lingcheng introduced himself to his family, and then asked: "What is your name? Which family do you come from?"
Xiang Shen responded with silence. She really had no interest in talking to the little baby.
Wu Lingcheng was rejected, but showed no sign of anger. Instead, he smiled and said, "I asked Senior Brother Li. Your name is Shen Xiang, right? And she is an orphan temporarily adopted by the Shen family."
Xiang Shu still didn't respond.
After all, Wu Lingcheng was a young man at heart, so he was rejected twice in a row. His face suddenly turned ugly, and he said coldly: "Shen Xiang, you and I are both top-grade immortal seedlings. Even if we don't have the talent for sword cultivation, we can join the sect as the same sect. Why bother?" Making enemies of each other?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Shu finally reacted and turned to look, "I am a top-grade immortal seedling. Did Senior Brother Li tell you this?"
When Wu Lingcheng saw that Xiang Shu finally paid attention to him, his face immediately became much better. He smiled proudly and said, "Of course not, but I can guess something based on Senior Brother Li's attitude."
Xiang Shu didn't answer again.
Wu Lingcheng was not angry this time. Instead, he pretended to shake his head and sighed: "You, a mortal orphan, should be proud to have discovered a high-grade spiritual root and reach the sky in one step.
What a pity, this is the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect, and the most important thing is genius. Did you know that in the past, the minimum threshold for joining the Sword Sect was a high-grade spiritual root?
We are considered outstanding in other sects, but here, we are just ordinary members among the disciples. "
At this point, Wu Lingcheng pointed to a place in front of the stone wall and sneered: "You must know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. She is the real darling girl of heaven."
Xiang Shu followed Wu Lingcheng's direction and saw a cold and arrogant girl surrounded by many fairy seedlings like stars over the moon.
The immortal seedlings chattered non-stop, but she looked at the stone wall without saying a word. The others did not dare to be dissatisfied at all, but smiled brighter.
"She is the only super-grade immortal seedling in this apprenticeship recruitment ceremony, Tong Qiu Shuang!"
Wu Lingcheng said proudly, as if Chaopin was not talking about others but himself.
Xiang Shu took a cursory look at Tong Qiu Shuang and then looked away.
It is indeed a good seedling.
But it's just that his spiritual roots are good, his swordsmanship talent is another matter.
When Wu Lingcheng saw that she turned her head and stopped looking, he thought that his words had an effect, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued:
"Furthermore, in terms of family background, Tong Qiu Shuang is also the top among our group of immortal seedlings.
The Tong family, a family with thousands of years of cultivation, has the power to transform into gods. How deep is its background?
Although Tong Qiu Shuang was not taken seriously by her family in the past, she had read all kinds of cultivation classics, unlike you and me..."
At this point, Wu Lingcheng seemed to have just remembered something, and pretended to be surprised and said loudly: "Shen Xiang, are you still illiterate?"
This sound was really loud, and the words "illiterate" were really strange. It immediately attracted everyone around to look over and start talking.
"Are there still illiterate fairy seedlings these days?"
"I'm illiterate. I can't even read the sword tactics on the stone wall, right? How can I participate in the second round of assessment?"
"Looking at how well-dressed she is, how can she be illiterate?"
"Mostly due to laziness and indolence in studying."
"Hmph, we are ashamed to be associated with such lazy people. Even if we can really join the sect, it will be embarrassing."
"I think she will be kicked off before the second round even starts, just wait and see!"
"..."
Wu Lingcheng listened to the talk around him and sneered secretly.
What he said before about "both being top-grade" and "not making enemies" were just to lower Shen Xiang's guard and to deceive others.
From the beginning, he did not intend to live in peace, but tried his best to attack Shen Xiang!
Countless gazes are coming in, and the pressure created invisibly is enough to make ordinary people lose their mind, let alone children?
Even though Shen Xiang still had no expression on his face, he was afraid that he would be so ashamed that he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
It better be this way.
Wu Lingcheng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
In this way, even if Shen Xiang really has some talent in swordsmanship, the distracting thoughts will inevitably affect the subsequent assessment and end up working as a miscellaneous person in the outer sect.
And he, Wu Lingcheng, had already tried to practice the kendo classics, and his talent was pretty good. Entering the inner sect was a sure thing!
Xiang Shu's face was calm, he raised his head and looked at the stone wall quietly. To her, the various discussions in her ears were like the breeze blowing over the hills, leaving no ripples in her heart.
If she expected it to be true, the second level of assessment had quietly begun. The smart people in the field have been studying the sword techniques on the stone wall for a long time.
Wu Lingcheng didn't realize this yet, he was full of scheming against others and suppressing dissenters.
This method is not wrong. What is wrong is that he cannot see the timing correctly and cannot see himself clearly.
With such a character, it is destined to be difficult to go far on the road of cultivation, so she can't care less.
Wu Lingcheng naturally knew nothing about Xiang Shen's thoughts.
He's still talking.
"Do you know what is carved on this stone wall?"
""Sword Strategy"!"
"This is a sword technique created by the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect specifically to test the immortal seedlings' talent in swordsmanship."
"It's a pity that you are illiterate. I'm afraid you can't even read "Sword Strategy", so how can you practice cultivation?"
"The assessment elder will not be so merciful that he will prepare jade slips of literacy just for you."
"If you take the initiative to ask for it then, it will only make a bigger joke!"
"..."
Wu Lingcheng's mouth went dry as he spoke. Seeing Xiang Shu staring at the stone wall, he finally noticed something was wrong.
Before he could think clearly, he suddenly heard a light cough coming from the void.
The stone platform became silent for a moment, and all the immortal seedlings raised their heads, and saw an old man with an immortal spirit coming through the air.
It was Yin Tao who was recruiting disciples from the outer sect.
"Wow……"
"Stepping into the air, it's Master Jiedan!"
"When can I cultivate to such a state?"
"..."
Under the envious eyes of everyone, Yin Tao fluttered his sleeves and landed in front of the stone wall, and his majestic voice spread throughout the audience.
"The second level of the assessment is for
"Sword Strategy"! "
"The ninth level of "Sword Strategy", anyone who understands the entry level within three days can enter the outer level, and the rest will be eliminated."
"If you understand the three levels within nine days, you can enter the inner gate."
"Comprehend the six levels within twenty-one days, and you will be treated as a core disciple, and you will be given the seventh-level method of cultivating the true mind."
"Comprehend the seventh level within thirty-six days, and you will be treated as a core disciple, and you will be given the sixth level of cultivating the true mind."
"Comprehend the eighth level within forty-nine days, and you will be treated as a core disciple, and you will be given the fifth level of cultivation of the true mind."
"Comprehend the Nine Levels within seventy-two days, and you will be treated as a true disciple and be given the "Sword Code" of the Zhen Sect!"
When Yin Tao said this, he glanced at the tens of thousands of excited immortal seedlings in the field, and said calmly: "Whether you can grab a little bit of immortal fate and leave it on the lintel, it just depends on your fate in three days."
After saying this, Yin Tao fluttered his sleeves, the stone platform made a loud noise, and the spirit gathering array opened.
The next moment, a girl sitting cross-legged in front of the stone wall became so powerful that she directly broke through the first level of "Sword Strategy"!
"It's Tong Qiu Shuang!"
"So fast?"
"Damn it! She has been comprehending the sword art for a long time. I was a step too late..."
"Super grade spiritual roots are really powerful!"
"..."
puff! puff! puff!
Three breakthrough sounds were heard in succession, it was the several high-grade immortal seedlings that had been quietly staring at the stone wall before.
The expressions of the other high-grade immortal seedlings changed. They did not dare to delay and immediately entered the cultivation state.
Yin Tao stood in front of the stone wall and did not leave. He glanced at Tong Qiu Shuang and several other immortal seedlings that had broken through the first level, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Then his eyes suddenly turned and landed on Xiang Shen, who was motionless.
"I forgot, this girl can't read!"
Yin Tao slapped his head, immediately picked up a blank jade slip, filled it with all the commonly used characters for cultivation, and then flung it out with a flick of his sleeves.
The jade slip instantly turned into a little spiritual light and shot out until it stopped in front of Xiang Shu.
"Girl, this is a jade slip used for reading. Place it between your eyebrows and you will be able to understand the sword tactics."
Hearing Elder Yin Tao's thoughtful words, Xiang Shu obeyed and obediently put the jade slip between his eyebrows.
Then he looked up at the stone wall for a moment, a sense of enlightenment immediately appeared on his face, and he entered a state of trance.
Did you realize it so quickly?
Elder Yin Tao was surprised and happy, with a look of relief on his face.
Wu Lingcheng was concentrating on staring at the stone wall to comprehend the sword technique and did not see this scene.
Then, he suddenly felt a momentum rising from his side, and there was the faint sound of swords.
The distance was so close that Wu Lingcheng trembled and exited from the state of trance. He turned around and saw the sword light all over Xiang Shu's body. His momentum was still there, and his face instantly turned green.
