I conquer the immortal with my strength

Most of the people who came to pay homage to the mountain gate on this trip were children without any cultivation.

The number of monks who are apprentices in art is less than 20% of the total number.

Most of these monks are around twenty years old, and their realm is mainly in the early stage of Qi refining, and quite a few of them are not practicing Qingyuan Sect's introductory techniques.

Like Xia Daoming, who is in his early thirties, has cultivated to the sixth level of Qi refining, and is only one step away from entering the late stage of Qi refining, and there are only a few monks who practice the Qingyuan Sect's entry-level techniques.

The wind blew and the vine bridge swayed high in the sky.

Soon, a large number of children started crying and did not dare to move forward.

At this time, vines will grow from the ivy, which will wrap up the frightened children who are crying and dare not move forward, and send them back to the ground.

At the beginning of the first level, many people lost their immortality.

The rest moved on.

After the initial swaying caused by the wind, the vine bridge carrying the children began to become "calm and calm", and as the children walked, the vine bridge automatically shrank back, speeding up their arrival on the other side.

But Tengqiao, which hosts monks who are apprentices in art, is different.

The wind is stronger, and the vine bridge is shaking violently in the air. The vine bridge will not shrink back automatically. People on the bridge need to reach the end entirely by their own foot power.

Xia Daoming remained unmoved and moved forward steadily as if strolling in a garden.

And more monks began to turn pale.

Most of them are just monks in the early stage of Qi refining. Although they can cast spells, stir up the wind, and take them soaring, they can only fly at low altitudes, and with their strength, they can only control the wind for a short time.

Once they soar too high, the wind above intensifies, and the aura of heaven and earth becomes unstable, they will lose control and fall to the ground. It would not be a big deal if their arms and legs are broken, but they are afraid of falling from a high altitude and being directly smashed to pieces and dying.

Nowadays, the vine bridge spans high in the sky, and the wind is strong. If one of them loses their balance and is blown down, they will basically fall to their death from high altitude.

Of course, they all know that the Qingyuan Sect will not ignore death.

But knowing is one thing, being afraid is another.

It's like a person holding a knife to his neck. Even if he knows that the other person doesn't dare to kill, he is still afraid in his heart.

As a result, some monks were panicked and failed to control their true energy, and because of the strong wind, one of them lost his footing and was picked up by the wind, falling off the vine bridge.

A rattan reached out in time, rolled up the fallen person, and slowly lowered him to the ground.

The monk who landed safely did not have the joy of surviving the disaster, but only the regret and frustration of missing the opportunity.

The sun rose slowly, and soon it was early in the morning.

The vine bridge that the children were walking on shrank away, and from a distance, there was only a glimmer of green light that submerged into the clouds and mountains.

But the vine bridge that the monks climbed climbed higher and higher, and the wind blew stronger and stronger.

Moreover, different cultivation levels can withstand different levels of wind force and shaking.

Obviously, what the Qingyuan Sect tests is not only the cultivation level of those who become disciples, but also their determination to face danger and their control over their true energy and magic.

Time passes slowly.

From time to time someone fell and was picked up by the cane and sent back to the ground.

When all the vine bridges where the children were sitting disappeared into the mountains, only ten monks were left climbing the vine bridges.

Japan and China.

Xia Daoming followed the crowd and advanced slowly, passing through clusters of clouds and mist, and finally arrived at Qingyuan Immortal Mountain.

The vine bridge hung in the sky, looking down and looking ahead, Xia Daoming was deeply shocked.

I saw a series of towering mountains in front of me. The peaks towered into the clouds and were as straight as arrows.

On the mountains, there are towering ancient trees with spreading branches and leaves. There are waterfalls rushing down like jade dragons. There are patches of spiritual rice and medicinal herbs swaying in the wind. There are many trees hidden among the ancient trees, located in the spiritual fields. between buildings.

There are many spiritual birds and flying horses flying and circling over the mountains.

There are many immortal cultivators flying in the clouds and mist in the mountains, casting spells in the air and competing with each other.

Deep in the mountains, among the misty clouds, you can even vaguely see a group of palaces, just like the legendary heavenly palace in the fairyland.

"The Immortal Sect, this is the real Immortal Sect! Compared with the Qingyuan Immortal Mountain, Wanluo Immortal Mountain is nothing compared to the Great Witch." Xia Daoming was greatly shocked in his heart, and it took him a long time to look away from the distance and look at Tengqiao. There is a huge basin not far below.

Surrounded by mountains, it forms a basin.

To the west of the basin, over the barrier of peaks, is Evergreen City at the foot of the mountain.

The terrain of the basin is quite high. If it were not blocked by the barrier of peaks, one could overlook Evergreen City.

To the east of the basin, there are mountains and mountains, one mountain higher than the other. The building like a heavenly palace is in the deep mountains to the east.

There is a city built in the middle of the basin.

There are courtyard houses in the city. The smallest courtyard house covers an area of ​​one acre, most of them cover several acres, and a few even cover dozens or hundreds of acres.

Around the city, there are terraced fields reclaimed from the basin along the hillside, all of which are actually spiritual fields and medicinal fields.

At a glance, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of spiritual fields. When the wind blows, the vast ocean is rippling with blue waves.

In Lingtian, many people can be seen digging the soil, killing insects, and spreading clouds and rain, making it a busy scene.

"It's really spectacular!" Xia Daoming was eye-opening again.

The end of the vine bridge is in a wide square in front of a Huihong building in the center of the city.

In the square, there are several old vines planted that can only be hugged by dozens of people.

Green light lingers in the old vines, and a foundation-building monk sits cross-legged under each tree, casting spells on the old vines.

The vine bridges are formed by the canes of old vines.

Lao Teng collected the branches, and Xia Daoming and others flew down to the square.

The children who had worshiped the mountain gate together in the morning were not in the square here. They were obviously continuing to undergo the test elsewhere.

Xia Daoming took a quick glance and saw that there were originally more than two thousand people, but now there were less than two hundred people left.

"Those who have practiced my Qingyuan Sect's introductory skills should stand on the right, and those who have practiced other skills should stand on the left." A young man wearing a green Taoist robe with an image of three thin bamboo branches drawn out on the lapel came out of the palace .

Xia Daoming followed his instructions and stood on the right, with about a hundred people in attendance.

Then, these hundred people were divided according to their realm.

In the end, along with Xia Daoming, there were only five people who were at the sixth level of Qi refining.

At this time, some monks, old and young, came out of the palace and led the divided teams to the side halls.

The person who came to lead Xia Daoming's team was an apple-faced woman in blue. She was Lan Xue, the sister Xia Daoming shamelessly recognized outside Li Cheng.

Back then, Lan Xue was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but now she is at the sixth level.

Lan Xue's skirt is embroidered with two thin bamboo branches.

Although the monks who were with Xia Daoming were all at the sixth level of Qi Refining, when they saw Lan Xue coming over, all of them had expressions of awe and fawning on their faces. Only Xia Daoming showed a hint of surprise.

"Lan Mei!" Xia Daoming waved to Lan Xue to say hello.

After several years, Xia Daoming has changed a lot.

Especially the day before yesterday when I reached the perfection of the Grand Master, my skin suddenly became much whiter and tenderer, and I looked younger, with a touch of elegance and elegance.

A few years ago, his skin was dark and rough, and he looked quite old.

When Lan Xue saw Xia Daoming greeting her, she stared at him for a long time, then her body trembled slightly, and she said with surprise on her face: "You, you are Xia Daoming, Brother Xia!"

"It's rare that you still remember me. I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago!" Xia Daoming couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw Lan Xue recognizing him.

After all, after so many years, she is a disciple of the Qingyuan Sect again. To her, she is just a mortal. It would be good if she could vaguely remember someone like her. She didn't expect that she could call out his name at once, and He continues to call me brother, which is really rare and valuable.

"How could it be!" Lan Xue laughed, then seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his forehead and said: "No, aren't you a martial arts master? Why are you here? Ah, no, you are just like me. Sixth level of Qi refining!”

Seeing Lan Xue's startled look, Xia Daoming couldn't help but recall the scene when he met her for the first time in his mind, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

We haven’t seen each other for several years, but this girl is still the same, with innocent and simple thoughts!

However, the young man with three branches of thin bamboo embroidered on his clothes was a little displeased by Lan Xue's surprise. He frowned slightly and said, "Lan Xue, please bring people in quickly. Elder Mo is still waiting!"

"Oh, okay, Senior Brother Ye!" Lan Xue came back to her senses. She first raised her hands to Senior Brother Ye, then winked mischievously at Xia Daoming, and then said to everyone: "Follow me. Elder Mo!"

Leaving the square, with Lan Xue leading the way, everyone entered the palace gate and walked through the corridors.

"Brother Xia, I always thought you were just a martial artist. I didn't expect you to also practice Qi refining. No wonder you weren't surprised at all when you saw us, and later pointed out that there was a problem with our tactics." Lan Xue couldn't hide her excitement during the journey. , chatting non-stop to Xia Daoming in a low voice, making the other monks look envious.

Xia Daoming did not correct Lan Xue's remarks.

After all, for someone like him who has enlightened his spirit and started practicing Qi refining at such a young age, and who has reached the sixth level of Qi refining in a short period of time, he is somewhat of a monster and pervert.

Before finding out the general situation of Qingyuan Sect, Xia Daoming thought it was necessary to keep a low profile.

Of course, his goal is to enter the inner gate, and he will definitely show off some of his talent for cultivating immortals.

But in terms of martial arts, most of the strength must be covered up.

This is his trump card. Xia Daoming will not take the initiative to reveal it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"By the way, Lan Mei, where are your Senior Brother Bai and Senior Sister Du?" Xia Daoming asked, changing the subject.

Of course, he was also more concerned about the whereabouts of those two people.

After all, he had offended both of them back then.

"They entered the inner gate." Lan Xue's originally excited mood dropped obviously after hearing this.

"They can enter the inner door, and you can definitely do it," Xia Daoming said.

"Thank you, brother, but I guess there is no chance. To enter the inner sect, you not only need to become a seventh-level Qi refining monk before the age of twenty, but you also need to be outstanding in strength assessment before you can enter the inner sect.

I am just twenty this year. Even if I become a late-stage Qi Refining monk in the past two months, my strength will definitely not pass the assessment.

But it doesn't matter. It's not bad to be a deacon disciple in the outer sect. If you perform well, you can reach the ninth level of Qi Refining in the future, and you can hope to become a consul disciple. "

Speaking of the latter part, Lan Xue's face filled with a smile again, but Xia Daoming could see that there was a hint of sadness hidden deep in her eyes.

"Is the requirement to enter the inner gate so high? Then I am over twenty years old, so I have no chance to enter the inner gate?" Xia Daoming was shocked when he heard this and frowned.

"Qingyuan Sect is one of the three major immortal cultivation sects in Daliang Kingdom. The requirements for entering the inner sect are naturally high. However, there is not only one chance to enter the inner sect, and the circumstances are different and the conditions are also different.

For example, I have been a member of the Qingyuan Sect since I was a child, so before I turn 20, I have an opportunity to enter the inner sect. If I have not been able to enter the inner sect after the age of twenty, if I can cultivate to the perfect state of Qi refining before the age of thirty-five, You can also enter the inner gate if you pass the assessment.

If you fail to reach the perfect state of Qi refining at the age of thirty-five, if you get the opportunity in the future, succeed in foundation building, and become a foundation building monk, you can enter the inner sect without taking the exam.

For monks like the elder brother who are apprentices in art, the rules of the sect will be stricter. Generally, they are only given two opportunities, one is to cultivate to the perfect state of Qi refining before the age of thirty-five, and the other is to become a foundation-building monk.

Before this, even if you become a late-stage Qi Refining monk or even a ninth-level Qi Refining monk before the age of twenty, you will not have the chance to enter the inner sect, and you must refine your Qi to reach the perfect state.

Before the age of thirty-five, if you cannot cultivate to the perfect state of Qi refining, then you have the only way to become a foundation-building monk. However, in order for the outer sect disciples to be taught the Foundation Establishment Technique, they need to exchange a large number of merit points, and the Foundation Establishment Pill can only be solved by themselves, and the sect will not solve it.

So in fact, if an outer sect disciple cannot reach the perfect state of Qi refining before the age of thirty-five, he or she will basically have to try his luck if he wants to become an inner sect disciple. "Lan Xue explained.

"That's okay!" Xia Daoming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

For him, as long as he is given a chance after he is twenty years old.

Moreover, the threshold of thirty-five years old is better for him, otherwise changing it to thirty years old will be another trouble for him at thirty-one years old. He can only enter the inner gate after building the foundation.

If you want to build a foundation, it will take a lot of trouble, which will definitely waste time.

But the other four people didn't think so.

Everyone frowned.

If you have the opportunity to join the Qingyuan Sect, who wouldn’t want to enter the inner sect to practice more advanced spells and techniques and enjoy more training resources!

As a result, they never expected that the requirements for becoming an inner disciple of the Qingyuan Sect would be so high. They must cultivate to the perfect state of Qi refining before the age of thirty-five.

In the outside world, some small sects can become elders after practicing their Qi to a perfect state.

And they are all at the age of three. With the resources and environment of Qingyuan Sect, they have worked hard for a few years and entered the late stage of Qi refining. It is already considered good. They have to practice to the perfection of Qi refining before the age of thirty-five, unless What great opportunity is there, otherwise there is very little hope.

"By the way, how old is eldest brother this year?" Lan Xue asked curiously when she saw Xia Daoming seemed quite confident.

"Thirty-one years old." Xia Daoming replied honestly.

"What? Are you thirty-one years old?" Lan Xue's eyes widened, looking surprised.

"I didn't expect it, I look very young!" Xia Daoming saw Lan Xue's reaction so much that he couldn't help but touch his face, feeling quite proud.

"What's the use of looking young? You're already thirty-one years old. It's just a fool's dream to cultivate to perfection before you turn thirty-five and enter the inner sect."

A handsome and elegant man in white clothes had a hint of gloating on his face before Lan Xue could reply.

The man in white had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining at the age of twenty-three. He was handsome and handsome, and he came from the Jiji family, so he had some background and felt very good about himself.

As a result, as soon as the team was divided, Xia Daoming stole the limelight. Seeing that he and Lan Xue were the same girl and the same eldest brother, they had long been jealous, and now they finally found the opportunity to ridicule Xia Daoming.

"Don't talk about the inner sect. It's a little difficult for you to be admitted to the outer sect at your age." A man in his late thirties also said with a hint of gloating on his face.

He originally thought that he was twenty-nine years old and the eldest among the five. Even if he was confident that his strength could overwhelm the other four, the possibility of being dismissed was still very high.

As a result, I didn't expect that there was someone older than me, and I felt much more at ease for a while.

"Is there any age limit for recruiting disciples this time?" Xia Daoming ignored the two people and asked Lan Xue.

"On the surface, there are no special restrictions, but generally speaking, the older you are, the less likely you are to be included. After the age of thirty-five, the elders probably won't even give you a chance to take the exam.

However, my eldest brother is a Taoist and martial arts master, and he is also a master of martial arts. He can get some points in the assessment. I will intercede with Elder Mo later and try my best to get it. "Lan Xue said, her face lost the excitement at the beginning and she looked a little worried.

"What's the use of a martial arts master? The Qingyuan Sect opens its gate once every five years. The purpose is to recruit young people who have potential and are expected to build a foundation or even a golden elixir. How can it be based on strength?

If we really only look at strength, as soon as the Qingyuan Sect opens its mouth, will we still worry that no powerful person will come to pay homage to the Qingyuan Sect? I'm afraid that all the foundation-building monks are flocking to him, so what does a mere martial arts master mean? said the young man in white.

Xia Daoming glanced sideways at the young man in white, with a disapproving smile on his lips.

Being a martial arts master may not count for much, and it won't add many points.

But the thirty-one grand master of martial arts definitely still has some weight, especially after he has practiced Qi Refining to the sixth level of Qi Refining, martial arts can still reach the realm of grand master. As long as Elder Mo has some brains, he will not take it lightly. Look at his talent for cultivating immortals.

Lan Xue seemed to be more worried.

When Xia Daoming saw this, he wanted to confess to her so that she didn't have to worry, but he had already arrived at the side hall and had to take back what he said.

The side hall is spacious and spacious.

There is a large table placed at one end of the front door, with two women sitting behind it, and two outer disciples standing on the left and right behind them.

The woman sitting on the left has half-white hair, but her skin still looks smooth and well-maintained, and her specific age cannot be seen.

However, Xia Daoming knew that this woman was Mo Yongzhi, whom Lan Xue mentioned just now on the way, the elder of the Lingtian Hall outside the Qingyuan Sect.

Qingyuan Outer Sect has several halls under its jurisdiction, and each hall has a hall master and a hall elder. Below the hall elder are consul disciples, and below the consul disciples are deacon disciples.

The hall masters and elders of the outer sect are usually disciples of the foundation building realm of the inner sect.

Some of the consular disciples are late-stage disciples of the inner sect, and some are ninth-level disciples of the outer sect.

Lan Xue is now the deacon disciple of Lingtian Hall.

This is the Qingyuan Sect's grand opening event held every five years to recruit new members. There are many people to be assessed, so many elders from the outer sect have been selected as assessors.

The woman sitting next to Elder Mo is dressed in red. She has a good figure and appearance. She is also very young, probably in her twenties, but her cultivation level is much higher than Lan Xue's, having reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. .

Xia Daoming knew that the woman's name was Mo Junru, and she was a blood descendant of Elder Mo. She was sent to worship under the Qingyuan Sect since she was a child. Elder Mo took care of her in many ways, and she was able to enter the inner sect at a young age.

Now he is the consul disciple of Lingtian Hall and holds a lot of power.

This assessment will be conducted by Mo Junru.

These are all things Lan Xue told Xia Daoming along the way.

"Elder Qi, senior sister, we're here." Lan Xue stepped forward and bowed to Mo Yongzhi and Mo Junru.

"Test your age first!" Mo Yongzhi nodded slightly.

As soon as Mo Yongzhi finished speaking, a mirror as tall as one person appeared on the case table.

"You all should stay close to the mourning platform, gather your true energy, and don't use your magic power to resist interference, otherwise the longevity wheel mirror will not be able to measure your age." Mo Yongzhi ordered.

"Yes!" Xia Daoming and the others bowed slightly.

A gray light shot out from the mirror and swept over everyone one by one.

"Yan Xingmei is twenty-seven years old, Qiu Cong is twenty-three years old, Bai Yifeng is twenty-nine years old, Gui Hongli is twenty-six years old, Xia Daoming is thirty-one years old? Thirty-one years old!" Mo Junru named everyone one by one. When Xia Daoming's age was reported, his brows were already furrowed with disdain in his eyes, and he even repeated it with an emphasis.

"Thirty-one years old?" Mo Yongzhi also frowned slightly, then waved his hand and said: "I'm a little old, there is no need to..."

"Elder Mo, Brother Xia is still a martial arts master. Please give him a chance to continue to take the assessment." Lan Xue quickly stepped forward and requested in a low voice.

"Brother Xia? Do you know him?" Mo Yongzhi glanced sideways at Lan Xue.

"Yes, speaking of which, he helped me..." Lan Xue said quickly.

"Hmph, Lan Xue, you should know the sect rules, right? It's not you who recruits outer disciples..." Mo Rujun interrupted with arrogance before Lan Xue could finish her words.

When Elder Mo saw Mo Rujun scolding Lan Xue before she could finish her words, Elder Mo frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything and just looked at Xia Daoming thoughtfully.

Most young immortal cultivators think that when they step into the path of cultivating immortals, they are different from immortals and mortals. They are aloof and look down on all living beings, even martial arts masters.

However, Elder Mo is over a hundred years old and has experienced a lot, so his ideas are not that simple.

At the age of thirty-one, practicing Qi Refining to the sixth level of Qi Refining is already very difficult for many casual cultivators. It is just that the Qingyuan Sect has high requirements, so they think it is a bit mediocre.

But on this basis, if you practice martial arts to the level of a master, you will no longer be mediocre.

"Thirty-one years old, practicing both Taoism and martial arts, and also practicing martial arts to the master level, it's a bit interesting!" Elder Mo thought to himself, and his eyes fell on Xia Daoming.

"Grand Master!" Elder Mo's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
