The inner gate of Tianxu Sect, Danfeng.
In Mochuan's cave, the formation is activated all year round.
The handsome-looking man in brocade clothes was looking at a wooden hairpin. Suddenly, he exerted a little force between his two fingers, and the hairpin broke with a "click".
"It is indeed an ordinary pear tree..."
Big loss this time.
Not only did he lose the Ganoderma lucidum and the Seven-leaf Yihua, but he also lost more than 500,000 spiritual stones.
Not only that.
With a dark face, Mo Chuan found a piece of soul-nurturing wood with the youngest age, then took out a sharp knife and carefully carved it according to the pattern of a wooden hairpin.
This time, another piece of soul-nurturing wood was lost.
The style carving is completed, and only the last critical step is left, which is to disguise the soul-nourishing wood as ordinary wood, which involves some things and the cost has reached another level...
So that day, Xu Sect spread the news that Danfeng's top disciple Mo Chuan was taken advantage of and spent hundreds of thousands of spirit stones to buy a wooden hairpin from this year's new disciple. People who didn't usually visit Danfeng began to visit Danfeng.
Immediately, someone witnessed with their own eyes that the ordinary-looking hairpin had lost its disguise in the hands of Mo Chuan and turned into a marketable and priceless soul-nurturing technique.
The price of a knuckle-sized soul-nourishing tree on the market is 880,000 yuan. If you want to buy it, it may not be available. Mo Chuan only spent more than 500,000 yuan to buy a soul-nurturing wooden hairpin, which was a huge bargain.
The news spread quickly.
The wind reversed.
The wronged person suddenly turned into a wise and discerning person.
Some sect disciples even ran to the mountain gate specifically to see if they could pick up the leaks. It's a pity that I didn't meet Xie Jiuniang setting up a stall.
Chao Yan and the other two people in Dongxu Hall looked in a daze. Could it be that they were mistaken?
When Lin Wangchen received the news, his first thought was that it was impossible. He clearly asked people to investigate and find out that the wooden hairpin was only carved from pear wood and could not turn into soul-nourishing wood in an instant.
However, someone saw Mu Chai take off his disguise with his own eyes.
Could it be...
Was he really mistaken?
After all, he hadn't confirmed it himself.
Lin Wangchen sat quietly at the tea table, holding the tea bowl in his hand, motionless, deep in thought. Originally, he had given up the idea of doubting Xie Jiuniang, and then decided to observe her for a while longer.
Xie Jiuniang was practicing in the small isolation formation, but she didn't know that she had been tricked by Mo Chuan. She, who had been cleared of suspicion, once again attracted Lin Wangchen's attention.
When other people saw Xie Jiuniang practicing, they all followed her to find a place to meditate.
Xie Jiuniang worked so hard at such a young age. No wonder she was promoted to four levels in a row. There was no reason for them to waste time.
Therefore, in the last few days, more and more disciples gathered in Shanmen Square, but no disciples of the Xie family were seen again.
Until the last day.
The small isolation formation was closed, and thirteen members of the Xie family appeared together.
There were many people using formation disks in the square, and their actions were not impressive. However, the twelve Xie Xu people did not feel deeply.
Xie Jiuniang immediately noticed something different.
Dozens of spiritual consciousnesses swept towards her, and she was able to easily detect them because there were more than a dozen qi-training monks among them.
Xie Xu took the lead and blocked most of the investigations for her with his spiritual consciousness. He was also powerless for the few who were above the foundation building stage.
Xie Jiuniang laughed angrily and was about to stand up and curse.
Xie Siniang stepped forward first, put her hands on her hips and cursed angrily: "That's enough for some people! Haven't your elders in the family taught you not to use your spiritual sense to detect others when you go out? Or do you want to deliberately provoke us and treat us as enemies?!"
Xie Siniang's words were scolded loudly.
The other clan members subconsciously stood up and surrounded the youngest Xie Jiuniang, even if some of them were not as good as Xie Jiuniang.
In an instant, those spiritual consciousnesses were completely withdrawn.
In the world of immortality, it is taboo to use one's spiritual consciousness to detect others, and it is regarded as a provocation. If a high-level monk does not practice martial ethics and forcibly investigates a low-level monk, the low-level monk will have no choice but to consider himself unlucky. However, for low-level monks to use their spiritual consciousness to investigate high-level monks, they are simply seeking death.
High-level monks have powerful spiritual consciousness, and as long as they are willing, they can easily seriously injure the souls of lower-level monks. By then, if you are hurt, you will be hurt, and there is no room for reasoning. Who asked you to provoke me in the first place?
Xie Jiuniang's eyes narrowed slightly. She felt uncomfortable being treated as a weakling and being investigated at will, but it felt good to be protected.
In the previous life, only one or two tribesmen passed through, and there would be nothing like today. Unknowingly, many things have changed...
"snort!"
Elder Chao Yan from above snorted coldly, and the pressure of the Yuanying monks was released, warning the sect disciples who were watching the new disciples.
Those who used their spiritual consciousness to check Xie Jiuniang just now were almost all inner disciples. Their curiosity was aroused by various rumors and they came here specifically to watch.
All the rumors revolve around one person. For example, the first person who dares to do business in the sect examination is called a small profiteer.
I sold a wooden hairpin at a high price and asked Brother Mo Chuan to buy it. It turned out to be a soul-nurturing wood!
What's even more shocking is that she single-handedly managed to break through the blockade of more than a dozen sect disciples. Although those disciples were also in the Qi training stage, their cultivation levels were all above hers.
Elder Chaoyan said: "The first round of assessment is over. Disciples who have not reached the mountain gate at this moment are considered eliminated. The last step of the assessment is to walk up the mountain. As long as those who make it up the mountain safely can become the outer disciples of Tianxu Sect."
After one round, 60% to 70% were eliminated. There are more than 10,000 qualified disciples.
Xie Jiuniang found that it was better than the one in her previous life, and she was eliminated by 90%.
Passing the first round of screening is actually equivalent to stepping into the sect with half a foot. Finally ascending the ladder to heaven is nothing at all.
The ladder is just for bluffing people.
If the orthodox monks are in better physical condition, it will be easy to climb up. On the contrary, evil cultivators, demonic cultivators and the like will reveal their true colors when they step onto the steps.
The biggest test of the sect is the first round, from Xi'an City to the mountain gate. Within a month, those with bad conduct will basically be eliminated. No matter how capable a person is, the sect's assessment personnel will make small moves to prevent the other party from reaching the mountain gate within a month.
Of course, these inside stories will not be revealed. Xie Jiuniang only found out about it by chance in her previous life.
As Xie Jiuniang knows.
The Xie family's children climbed up the ladder with ease and did not encounter the phantom formation.
After reaching the top of the mountain, someone arranged for the new disciples to have their spiritual roots retested, registered, and received identity tokens, sect manuals, and disciple uniforms.
As soon as Xie Jiuniang finished receiving her disciple uniform, she heard a cry of surprise from behind her. She quickly turned around and saw a humanoid blood mist exploding in the air.
It was Elder Chaoyan who used his spiritual power to lift a person to a high altitude and then crushed it violently, leaving no trace of residue behind.
Xie Jiuniang's heart skipped a beat, "What's going on?"
"There are demon cultivators who want to sneak into the sect. They will encounter them every time they recruit new disciples. It is nothing new." The sect disciple who distributed the things explained.
Xie Jiuniang had never encountered this in her previous life. It was very likely that this demonic cultivator in her previous life had not survived the first round.
"Fourth sister, let's go to the Crane Garden and rent a crane to go to Waimen Sihao Mountain." Xie Jiuniang pretended to flip through the sect's manual, grabbed Xie Siniang and left.
If you want to get to a good place outside the outer gate, you have to go there quickly.
Because good places are first come, first served.
If you are slow, you can only pick up the remaining accommodations picked by others.
