On this day, Liu Qingyi finished his overnight practice and got up and was about to wash up when he suddenly heard Nie Zhong's voice from the air: "Yuntian, Tianming, Yunyu and Yunzheng, come to Chongming Hall quickly."
Upon hearing this sound, Liu Qingyi understood that this was a method of transmitting sound through the air. I have heard from people in the sect before that senior monks have the ability to transmit sounds across the air, but I have never experienced it.
This time when he entered the inner gate, he encountered Nie Zhong using this technique to communicate with everyone twice. His voice sounded as if he was hearing it personally, which really opened his eyes.
He hesitated briefly, put the little civet into the spirit ring, got up and rushed to the top of the mountain.
When they came to Chongming Hall, they saw Yan Kuan, Bu Jiu and Li Deqiang standing solemnly. Nie Chong, who was at the top, was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. He stepped into the hall in a few steps and stood next to Li Deqiang.
Seeing Liu Qingyi sneaking in last, Nie Zhong looked down at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I have called you here this time because I have an important matter to inform you about the sect. This matter is only known to the inner sect. You It must not be spread outside."
When everyone's expressions became solemn and they all nodded in agreement, Nie Zhong said slowly: "Our Heavenly Beast Sect has been famous in the Southern Territory for a long time. There are two kinds of immortal arts that make us famous. One of them is the "Void Heaven Spirit Control Technique". This It's something everyone knows. Another immortal technique is called "Great Sun Golden Armor Technique", which is probably unheard of by most disciples in the Spirit Refining Stage. The Xutian Spirit Taming Technique is passed down from generation to generation by each peak. As for the Great Sun Golden Armor Technique, it is not allowed to be passed down privately by each peak. Instead, the inner sect gathers the newly promoted Tongyuan Realm disciples to select a day to hold the Immortal Technique Trial. Only Only those who pass the trial can be qualified to grant this technique. I have called you here this time because I received a notice from the inner sect that this round of the Immortal Technique Trial will be held in three days. At that time, the four of you will follow me to the Heavenly Beast Peak to participate in the trial without delay. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Kuan on the side asked: "Master, how is this immortal magic test conducted? Is it a competition?"
Nie Zhong said: "It's a competition, but it's simple. This Golden Sun Armor Technique is actually the same as the Six Spirit Control Techniques, with some restrictions. People who don't have the foundation of body refining can't practice this technique at all."
Bu Jiu asked: "What is the basis of body training? Is it because the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the body is different from ordinary people?"
Nie Zhong smiled and explained: "That's just what mortals call physique. The so-called foundation of body training by monks mainly focuses on character and endurance."
Li Deqiang on the side said with some confusion: "Character? Endurance? How are these tests?"
Nie Zhong said: "Practice the Water Avoidance Technique, enter the big stone pool, and persist in the pool for a full day to receive the Immortal Technique. Within five days, if the cumulative time is less than one day, you will not be able to obtain this magic."
Hearing this, Li Deqiang showed a smile and said: "It's so simple. If you count the accumulated time, it's not difficult to stay in the pond for an intermittent day."
Nie Zhong looked at Li Deqiang and said, "Is it simple? It's really not a big deal. You will know by then."
As he spoke, he thought to himself: "My disciples have just entered the inner gate and don't know how powerful the big stone pool is. If I tell the truth today, I will inevitably dampen the spirit of a few people. As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless. Today I I don’t know, maybe a few people entering the big stone pool can inspire a bit of naivety."
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the day of the Immortal Technique Trial, the four brothers went to Chongming Hall early to wait.
As soon as Nie Zhong arrived, he led everyone down to Miaoyuan Peak, and the five masters and disciples headed towards the Heavenly Beast Peak.
As the head of the six peaks and the main peak of Tianshou Mountain, Tianshou Peak is a completely different scene.
Liu Qingyi followed a few people all the way and felt that the spiritual energy was extremely strong, many times better than Miaoyuan Peak.
As the head of the three upper peaks, Tianshou Peak is named after the word "Sky Beast", so it has a great origin.
Because of this, the peak is not only the location of the formation eye that suppresses the spiritual veins, but also the center of the huge Tianshou Mountain. It is the dragon raising its head in Feng Shui theory. Among the Heavenly Beast Sects of the past dynasties, this peak has the miraculous effects of regulating Feng Shui, calming spiritual veins, and nourishing essence, and its status ranks first among all other peaks.
Walking hundreds of steps up Tianshou Peak, you can see rows of buildings standing among them, and the layout of the buildings is unparalleled by Miaoyuan Peak.
Nie Zhong led four people all the way to the top of the peak, and arrived at a wide stone platform called "Tianyuntai". It is said that this Tianyuntai was built on the top of the peak to hold festivals and important internal affairs events in the inner sect. Of
land.
The entire stone platform is made of neatly shaped rectangular boulders. Each boulder is cut smoothly and has exactly the same size, making the entire platform look extremely majestic.
Liu Qingyi looked around and realized that on top of the top six independent peaks, the world was majestic, the vision was far-reaching, and bursts of spiritual energy washed away his mind. As far as the eye can see, five huge peaks can be seen in a line in the distance. Between the overlapping peaks are layers of spiritual mist, gathering or dispersing, emerging from the clouds and entering the glaze.
"Where is Miaoyuan Peak?" He looked carefully and found that a slightly lower peak among the five peaks was looming in the middle, where Miaoyuan Peak was located. "Huh, so small? He seems a little short."
Several people followed Nie Zhong towards a curved building in the middle of the stone platform. Suddenly, they felt the light turn cold and stepped into the silver canopy.
One curve is similar to the dome on a modern golf course. It is made of unknown materials. The outside is glowing with a cold green light, but the inside is a silver-white wall that keeps out the scorching sun and mountain winds.
Liu Qingyi glanced around and saw several large and small wooden stools set up under the dome, with many people already sitting on them.
Except for Lei Zhen, the master of the Heavenly Beast Sect, and several elders such as Feng Yan and He Yuanji, who were sitting in the middle, the remaining disciples in purple clothes were mostly acquaintances who had just been promoted to the Tongyuan Realm after being enthroned last time.
Li Gongjun and Xiao Jingyan sat silently behind the door owners Lei Zhen and He Yuanji. Behind Feng Yan, Fang Rong stood with her head raised, looking towards them.
The five masters and disciples of Nie Zhong came forward, bowed to everyone and sat down one by one.
Lei Zhen started talking to Nie Zhong, Feng Yan, He Yuanji and others. It seemed that the trial of immortality was in no hurry to start.
Liu Qingyi sat a few feet behind Nie Chong. He pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the conversation of several people. He only heard Lei Zhen say: "Two months ago, Zuo Qian of the Shenfeng Sect brought the spirit-filling fruit and asked Elder Peng to make elixirs. A few days ago, The elixir was finally completed on the same day, and six elixirs were produced smoothly. According to the agreement, I, the Heavenly Beast Sect, received two spirit-filling elixirs as a reward for refining the elixir."
He Yuanji said happily: "Another six? Old ghost Peng has some tricks up his sleeve!"
Feng Yan pondered and said: "How to distribute the two spirit-filling pills that I received as a gift?"
Lei Zhen said solemnly: "I said during the spirit-filling ceremony that these two spirit-filling pills would be given to the two disciples who were the first to advance to the later stage of spirit forging. But this cannot be broken. Now among the disciples of our sect in the spirit forging stage, Three more people have already broken through to the late stage of spiritual forging, namely Wang Tianshui, Liu Hao, and Chen Tie. In order of breakthrough, the two spirit-filling pills were finally fixed on Wang Tianshui and Liu Hao." As he was talking. , Wang Tianshui and Liu Hao followed Guo Yan onto Tianyuntai and came to the crowd to greet them.
Lei Zhen pointed at Wang and Liu and introduced: "Yesterday, I asked the inner sect to give them the spiritual elixir, and asked Guo Yan to help these two people to gain spiritual power. Now that they are temporarily living in the Heavenly Beast Peak, they can be considered half of the inner sect. They are people, but they have not yet become a master. We will discuss this matter, and finally let them participate in this magical trial together."
Liu Qingyi heard from the sidelines that Chen Tie was beaten to the front by Wang Tianshui and Liu Hao, and lost the qualifications for the last two souls. He couldn't help but feel a little sad for him.
Recalling the time when he teamed up with Chen Tie during his first mission to the Heavenly Beast Mountain, he had some impressions of this acquaintance.
Seeing Wang Tianshui and Liu Hao stand aside after the ceremony was over, Lei Zhen looked around and said, "Which peak should these two people worship? What do the elders think?"
After he finished speaking, Feng Yan and He Yuanji on one side did not speak to each other. Their eyes flickered and they both looked at Nie Zhong on the other side.
Nie Zhong saw the expressions of several people and said word by word: "During the spiritual filling ceremony, you said that I was hiding away and not asking about the sect's affairs. I accepted four disciples at once last time. This time, you will not put the burden on me again." Right? You all know that my injury has not healed since I came back from Dongling Fairy Kingdom, and now my cultivation is at the bottom compared to you. You must give me some time to heal and practice. I now have four apprentices, and Lao He It’s the same number. If you want me to accept another disciple, that’s fine. Anyway, if Lao He accepts me, I’ll do it. At worst, Lao He and I will each take one.”
He Yuanji stood up as if his tail had been stepped on, and said with a stern voice: "Old Ghost Nie, you can accept me if you ask me to do so. Who said I have to shoulder the burden on you? The master of the sect will decide this matter. The Lord didn’t even say anything, so you took it upon yourself to make the decision?”
After saying that, his face softened,
Then he said to Lei Zhen: "Master, last time Old Nie took in four people at once, and he has old wounds, so it is not suitable to take in any more disciples. In my opinion, there are only two people this time, so I will let them choose on their own. We don’t have a problem with which peak we choose.”
After saying that, he looked at Nie Zhong and said, "Old Nie, if you do this, what else are you farting at?"
Nie Dian nodded and said: "If that's the case, even if you choose me, I will accept it."
He Yuanji heard the words and turned to Lei Zhen again like a rattle: "Master, look at this matter..."
Lei Zhen thought for a moment, but did not answer. He looked at Feng Yi and said, "Does Elder Feng have any opinions on this?"
Feng Yan said with a dull expression, "But it's up to the sect master to decide."
Lei Zhen's eyebrows widened when he heard this, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's the case, then it's up to the two of them to choose." Then he turned to Wang Tianshui and Liu Hao who were standing on one side and said, "Did you two hear that? Choose quickly. Come!"
Wang Tianshui and Liu Hao were both stunned and muttered, unable to react in time.
Lei Zhen said anxiously: "Don't be nagging, you choose Wang Tianshui first."
Wang Tianshui looked at Fang Rong behind Feng Yi, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "This disciple is willing to join Elder Feng's sect."
Lei Zhen nodded, turned to Liu Hao and asked, "What about you?"
Liu Hao said with a bitter face: "This disciple is extremely lucky to be promoted through spiritual cultivation. It doesn't matter which elder he follows. I have no choice in my mind. This matter is decided by the master of the sect."
Lei Zhen frowned when he heard this, and his heart sank.
In a blink of an eye, I looked at the faces of Feng Yan, He Yuanji, and Nie Zhong one by one, and saw that the three of them were looking at their noses and hearts. They all sat with their mouths closed and did not say a word.
