Cultivating immortals is a hard job

"By the way, Brother Qin, aren't you going to participate in the selection of Gu Yue Sect?"

Qin Yi waved his hand.

"With my talent, I am already satisfied to be able to cultivate to the peak of Qi Refining. Entering a large sect may seem glorious, but there are also many restrictions. It is better to be happy in this Blue Sky City!"

It seems that not every cultivator has the heart of the Great Dao.

"I will stay here first and wish Brother Mo to get what he wants. If you need anything in the future, just tell me!"

Mo Xun nodded and smiled. Who knows, there will be a place where he will be useful in the future.

After the two separated, Mo Xun went back to the mansion directly.

After talking with Li Qingying for a long time, the two embarked on the journey of Gu Yue Sect the next day.

Because there was still plenty of time, they were not in a hurry along the way and stopped and walked.

On the one hand, Mo Xun needed to familiarize himself with the use of those talismans and study the map of the assessment site. On the other hand, the two also roughly practiced the Twin Linglong Formation.

After all, after entering a dangerous place, you can have more means and more capital to save your life.

After another seven or eight days, we finally entered the Gu Yue Mountains.

When we got here, there were more monks on the road.

If it was placed on weekdays, the area near the mountains would be shrouded in fog and formations. It would not be easy to find the entrance to the mountain gate without guidance.

But now, it is not so troublesome. Not only are there fellows accompanying along the way, but Gu Yue Sect also has disciples to guide them.

Mo Xun and Li Qingying followed the footsteps of most people, along the winding mountain road, and walked in the jungle for another two days. In the distant mountains, a magnificent palace appeared in front of everyone.

The palace was built along the steep mountain, and it was looming in the clouds and mist.

With the mountain as the base and the clouds as the steps, the long stone steps lead directly to the sky, which feels a bit like a fairy mountain pavilion and a divine palace.

Mo Xun and Li Qingying saw this Xuanxiao Dantai for the first time. They were so excited that they couldn't speak.

On the right side of the palace, beside the steep peaks and cliffs, there was a wide and spectacular waterfall, like a flying stream, surging from the clouds, like the water of the sky, hanging high in the air.

A faint rainbow always appears above the waterfall.

On the left side of the palace, surrounded by dense forests, there is a group of buildings of varying heights, some on the top of the mountain, and some on the hillside. Occasionally, a sound of bells came from afar, echoing among the mountains for a long time.

Mo Xun took a deep breath of the fresh and moist air.

As soon as he entered Guyue Mountain, he felt the rich spiritual energy here.

Compared to Lantian City, it is at least many times richer.

Along the way, he also asked other fellows about the situation of Guyue Mountain.

This mountain is said to stretch for tens of thousands of miles and spans to other countries.

Gu Yue Sect occupies a total of fifteen peaks, of which the two highest ones are inhabited by the sect's supreme elders, Yuan Ying stage cultivators.

However, it is said that these two elders have been sealed off from the mountains for a hundred years. It is unknown whether they are striving for a higher realm or have already traveled to other places.

In addition, there are twelve Jindan, each occupying a mountain. The disciples of each sect live around their own ancestors and live on the mountain.

These twelve Jindan elders will take turns to take charge of the affairs of the sect every ten years.

Looking at the dense crowd at the foot of the mountain, Mo Xun estimated that there are at least 40,000 to 50,000 people participating in the selection this time.

According to the selection ratio in previous years, about one in ten of these people will become Gu Yue Sect disciples.

This elimination rate is really ridiculously high!

After entering the sect, there will be different levels between different disciples.

Those who are particularly talented, such as those with rare spiritual roots or some special physiques for cultivating immortals, will be selected after the first round of tests and sent to the disciples of those Jindan elders to be directly accepted as disciples.

This situation is considered to be a step to heaven, a carp leaping over the dragon gate!

Just imagine that you can be accepted as a disciple of a Jindan stage at the Qi training stage. This honor alone can be boasted for a lifetime!

But obviously, this kind of heaven's favorite is not so easy to meet.

A cultivator who can have spiritual roots is already one in ten thousand among mortals, not to mention a spiritual root!

Every time the sect selects, it is already considered good to have two or three of them!

People with such spiritual roots are often the objects that the big sects try their best to win over, so they will not appear in such public recruitment of disciples, but will be discovered by interested people early and sent to the sect.

Because these people's cultivation talents are destined to have a much higher success rate in building foundation than ordinary people, and they are more likely to cultivate to the Jindan stage.

This kind of disciple is called a core disciple!

The rest of the people will be divided into inner and outer disciples according to the assessment scores.

There will be hundreds of inner disciples, who will be directly assigned to the foundation-building cultivators as apprentices, which can be regarded as having a backer.

The most pitiful are the outer disciples, also known as menial disciples.

Not only do they have no master, but they also have to undertake miscellaneous work in the sect after practicing.

But despite this, many people are still eager to do it.

After all, once you become a disciple of the sect, whether it is the inner or outer sect, you can enjoy the resources of the sect through a certain amount of effort.

This is also something that casual cultivators cannot do.

According to Mo Xun's idea, his requirements are not high, as long as he can get the title of an outer disciple.

He has too many secrets, and he would not accept a master even if he was given one.

Because the mountain gate was not open, everyone was waiting in the forest outside. Some looked around, some sat cross-legged in meditation, and some teamed up with each other, so that they could take care of each other in the last assessment.

Mo Xun and Li Qingying stood in the shade of a big tree.

There were people everywhere.

Mo Xun took out Qianli Xiao and handed it to Li Qingying, and gave her a few sound transmission notes.

Finally, he was a little worried, and gave her half a positioning talisman and a fire cloud bead.

The girl's cultivation was too shallow, and he brought her in. If something unexpected happened, it would be unacceptable.

After Mo Xun briefly explained some things to her, he sat aside blankly, looking at the palace from a distance.

He was also afraid that the two would not have the opportunity to meet after the first two assessments, so he arranged everything in advance.

But when he calmed down, he suddenly felt that there were eyes behind him, staring at him.

But when he turned around, he found nothing except an endless stream of similar heads.

Maybe it was an illusion!

Ever since the auction, he had always been on edge.

He was so nervous that he was always on edge.

He couldn't help but touch his chin and cheeks. Just in case, he made up to look like a scarred, bearded man today.

Li Qingying was wearing a veil and her skin was painted black.
