Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Wang Ba didn't have time to think too much.

His eyes were attracted by the scene in front of him.

Outside the teleportation array is a huge stone platform with a sense of vicissitudes of life.

There are nearly a hundred monks standing on the platform. Except for some monks who are obviously wearing the Myriad Manifestations robes, most of the monks are different in appearance and dress. You can tell at a glance that they are here to take the assessment.

Almost half of these people are Foundation Building monks, and the other half are Gold Core Perfected Beings. Only the bald female monk Wang Ba saw just now has reached the Nascent Soul level.

They all gathered around a young monk wearing solemn robes, with respectful expressions on their faces, as if they were listening to the teachings.

Wang Ba could vaguely guess that this might be the deputy head of the Rende Palace who spoke just now, Luo Yu.

But these are not the things that attract Wang Ba.

Instead, in the middle of the platform, there stood a formation that exuded dreamy brilliance. Within the formation, there was a huge spiritual beast floating.

"Mirage?"

Wang Ba couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes when he looked at the spiritual beast, which was as big as a house, with its shell slightly opened and closed, revealing the slimy body inside.

Spirit mirages are spiritual beasts in the sea. Wang Ba had never seen them in Chen or Yan, but there were records in some books, so Wang Ba recognized them immediately.

At the same time, he immediately remembered the characteristics of the spiritual beast ‘Spirit Mirage’.

'Spirit mirage, long-lived, hard on the outside and soft on the inside. When young, it is no different from ordinary sea beasts. It can last for more than a hundred years. Its body is as big as a bucket. It can contain a mirage bead. It has the ability to blur in the beginning, and a single thought can make a whole city of mortals fall into it. Dream... After thousands of years, the body is like a canopy, and it can enchant the monks... After a thousand years, there will be a calamity every thousand years, from nine calamities to ten thousand years, the body is like a palace, and the Nascent Soul monks cannot escape even if they think about it. All...'

"Why...why is there a spiritual mirage here?"

Wang Ba was confused.

His eyes subconsciously looked towards Yao Wudi, but he saw Yao Wudi's eyes looking away with a guilty conscience.

"Ahem... that... what a coincidence, I didn't expect that this guy Luo Yuzhong is already the deputy master of the Hall of Human Virtue..."

Yao Wudi coughed dryly.

Wang Ba was speechless for a while after hearing this.

Forget it, maybe it was just bad luck, and I met him right after I arrived.

And as if he heard his name, the young monk with a slim figure and a kind face, who was surrounded by the crowd at a higher place on the platform, followed the sound.

His eyes glanced at Yao Wudi, and then paused slightly at Wang Ba beside him.

There was a hint of surprise and intriguingness in his eyes.

Yao Wudi, who was also aware of the gaze, turned around sharply and saw Luo Yuzhong, a hint of warning suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Luo Yuzhong smiled slightly and met his eyes calmly.

He immediately withdrew his gaze without caring.

Then we chatted with the monks who came from ghost markets from various countries.

Among them, his focus was mostly on the bald female cultivator recommended by the ghost market in Yu State.

…

As time went by, the number of monks on the platform gradually increased.

The three Gold Core Perfected Beings from Yan Kingdom beside Tang Ji have mixed with other monks to find out the situation.

And Tang Ji himself was chatting with Brother Ma and others whom he had met before.

Even Yao Wudi, after seeing several acquaintances of the same generation, left Wang Ba behind and went to reminisce about the old days.

But Wang Ba was relieved a lot.

At least my own master in the sect is not all unfavorable people, there are still many old friends.

During my time in the Myriad Manifestations sect, if I think about it, I wouldn't be the enemy of everyone.

After Wang Ba met several monks from different countries who were also members of the Foundation Building, he quickly integrated into them, chatting while waiting for the assessment to begin.

"Sigh, I don't know if I can pass the test smoothly... I heard that this test is quite strict. Only about ten or twenty people out of a hundred can pass it."

Some monks couldn't help but sigh.

There was both longing and unconcealed worry in his eyes.

The monk's words immediately attracted the recognition of other Foundation Building monks around him.

Whether you really find it difficult or you just pretend to agree.

Wang Ba didn’t think much about it.

Yao Wudi and Tang Ji both had confidence in him. He felt that both of them were monks at the perfect level of Nascent Soul, so they should not make mistakes in this kind of matter.

Of course, Wang Ba will not stand up and sing the opposite.

He just chimed in casually.

But at this time, a cold snort came over.

"Practitioners should move forward unflinchingly and strive to be the first. You have doubted yourself before you started participating in the assessment. How can you make it to the end? In my opinion, it is better to go home now."

When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly turned ugly.

Immediately, someone coughed dryly:

"This Fellow Daoist, everyone just expresses his feelings to relieve his mood. Why do you need to belittle us like this?"

Wang Ba followed the sound and saw a familiar young monk standing not far away, shaking his head.

"He is the disciple of Uncle Qi from before..."

Wang Ba recognized the other person at a glance.

But the other party sneered: "How could I belittle you? The person who just belittled you was none other than you."

"You! You are just like us. We are both Foundation Building monks. What do you have to be proud of!"

Some monks said angrily.

"No, I am just proud, and that has nothing to do with my cultivation. Unlike you, if your cultivation is high, you will be proud, and if your cultivation is low, you will feel inferior to others. Although you are a monk, you are just a slave to your cultivation."

The young monk with a bit of youthful spirit said proudly.

Such an answer immediately left everyone speechless.

Wang Ba couldn't help but cheer secretly.

This answer is quite a bit like a cultivator.

The monk who just spoke could not refute, so he could only grit his teeth and say:

"You... dare to ask what Fellow Daoist is called?"

"Da Yandonghe County, Mo Qi is the one!"

It turned out that his name was Mo Qi... Wang Ba nodded secretly and wrote down the name.

A monk with such a spirit is also the Foundation Building of Heaven. I think that as long as he doesn't die in the middle, his achievements in the future will never be low.

Mo Qi glanced around and saw Wang Ba among the monks. He was a little surprised in his eyes. He hesitated slightly, but still raised his hand politely and saluted Wang Ba from afar.

"I've met Brother Dao."

Although he is arrogant, he is not stupid.

His own master faced the other's master, and even though he was unhappy, he could only smile in response. This already explained the problem.

When facing Wang Ba, it is natural to be polite.

Wang Ba was also speechless when he noticed the surprised, complicated, and even vaguely hostile looks from the monks around him.

How can I keep a low profile if you do this?

As long as he didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, he could only squeeze out a smile:

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Mo is in good health."

Just as he was speaking, a figure suddenly flew over from the sky, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Soon, the figure fell next to Luo Yuzhong, the deputy head of the Rende Hall.

The Gold Core Perfected Beings surrounded the two of them tightly, which made the Foundation Building monks scattered around marvel.

But from the side where the Gold Core Perfected Beings gathered, a few words came vaguely.

"Diwu Palace... Selection..."

Immediately, several Foundation Building monks came in to inquire about the news.

The arrival of this figure immediately attracted everyone's attention. No matter it was Mo Qi or the Foundation Building monks, they had no intention of quarreling.

soon.

The few monks who went to inquire about the news rushed back happily.

Immediately, everyone surrounded him.

"The person who came just now is the deputy master of the Diwu Palace, Senior Song Dongyang Song!"

"I heard that we came here because there were so many people taking part in the assessment this time and the Diwu Palace was short of manpower. I came here specifically to see if there are any suitable candidates. Maybe we can be selected too!"

Wang Ba, who was listening carefully on the side, didn't feel happy at all when he heard the news.

Instead, it felt like his head had been hit with a hammer.

Because if he remembered correctly, one of the three names listed by Master Yao Wudi at the beginning was named Song Dongyang.

Looking at Yao Wudi who pretended to be unaware of the chat in the distance, but actually glanced at Yao Wudi from time to time with a guilty conscience.

At this moment, Wang Ba felt extremely tired.

So far, there have been a total of two Myriad Manifestations sect high-ranking officials, but both of them were beaten by the master... They can't survive at all!

And just when Wang Ba was speechless, another figure fell down.

With the last experience in mind, the several Foundation Building monks responsible for inquiring immediately ran over again.

After a while, these people ran back happily.

"This time it's the deputy hall master of Tianyuan Hall! Senior Guan Aoguan!"

"He also came to choose..."

Wang Ba, who listened with his ears perked up, was relieved when he heard the words.

"Fortunately, this one doesn't seem to have been beaten by Master..."

The Myriad Manifestations Sect has three halls in total. If the deputy hall masters of the three halls were beaten by Yao Wudi, Wang Ba could only imagine how miserable he would be after joining the sect.

"I hope I can be selected by Tianyuan Palace."

Wang Ba couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Not long after, a figure with hands behind his back suddenly appeared above Pingtai.

The entire platform suddenly fell silent.

Upon noticing the appearance of this figure, the deputy masters of the three halls who were still chatting below, as well as Tang Ji, Qi Yan and others, suddenly looked solemn.

Even Yao Wudi raised his hands in salute with a solemn look on his face, and they all said respectfully:

"Welcome to Hall Master Fei!"

The sound of welcome resounded throughout the entire platform.

The monks who came to participate in the assessment felt so powerful that they did not even dare to raise their heads.

Wang Ba lowered his head, feeling shocked.

Soul Formation!

This Hall Master Fei must be Soul Formation!

To make Yao Wudi so respectful, there is no other possibility except Soul Formation.

No, ordinary Soul Formation probably doesn't have this ability.

After all, when Yao Wudi faced Elder Du before, his attitude was not very respectful.

Thinking of this, Wang Ba felt more and more in awe.

But at the same time, I was also a little confused. I didn’t know which palace this Hall Master Fei belonged to.

"Don't worry about me, I'll come and take a look, you can do your own business first."

In the sky, Hall Master Fei's generous and magnetic voice came.

The deputy hall masters of the three main halls below, Yao Wudi and others heard this and acted as usual.

However, the Gold Core Perfected Beings and Foundation Building monks who came to participate in the assessment still raised their heads cautiously.

Wang Ba also raised his head, only to find that the figure in the sky had disappeared.

Soon, several Foundation Building monks who were more knowledgeable about things got the news again.

"That one is the master of the Hall of Human Virtue!"

"He came here this time because of that female cultivator... I heard that she was the pioneer of the way of fur..."

There were many exclamations and surprises all around.

Although this 'fur way' sounds a bit strange.

However, as the pioneers of a spiritual path, such beings are definitely unique in front of geniuses from all over the world.

Even Mo Qi, who was quite proud, couldn't help but look shocked when he heard this.

Wang Ba couldn't help but cast his eyes on the rather unique bald female cultivator in the crowd in the distance.

One can imagine the ability of this Nascent Soul True Monarch to alert the Lord of the First Hall to come forward in person.

And faced with the looks of surprise, admiration, doubt, hostility, etc. from everyone.

The bald female cultivator had a calm face and calm eyes, as if she didn't notice it at all, or she did notice it, but she didn't care at all.

Not to mention anything else, this concentration alone is far beyond ordinary people.

Compared with her, all the geniuses on the platform pale in comparison.

At this time, on the other side of the teleportation array, the last group of monks also came out under the leadership of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Luo Yuzhong, the deputy master of Rende Hall, who was surrounded by Gold Core monks, saw this, looked around, and immediately smiled at Song Dongyang, the deputy master of Diwu Hall, and Guan Ao, the deputy master of Tianyuan Hall: "Two senior brothers, How about we start now?"

"Junior Brother Luo has always been responsible for the entrance examination, and Senior Brother Guan and I will not do it for you."

Song Dongyang, with a gentle face, said with a smile.

Guan Ao nodded slightly when he heard this.

When Luo Yuzhong saw this, he did not refuse, but still asked for instructions loudly:

"Palace Master, everyone is here now, I wonder if it's okay..."

"You decide on your own."

High in the sky, Hall Master Fei's voice came.

The monks below were suddenly shocked. It turned out that this person had not left.

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but gear up, planning to perform well.

This is a rare opportunity.

Luo Yuzhong heard the instructions and immediately said with a smile: "Everyone, let's get started."

His eyes swept over Tang Ji and others, and paused on Yao Wudi:

"Senior Brother Yao, Junior Brother Ma, Junior Brother Tang... Why don't you go accompany the Palace Master first?"

Hearing this, Yao Wudi glanced at Wang Ba, nodded slightly to Wang Ba, and immediately flew up into the sky, disappearing for a moment.

The same is true for Tang Ji and others.

Qi Yan was also among them, but before flying high into the sky, he also glanced at Mo Qi.

The two palace masters, Song Dongyang and Guan Ao, also flew away.

In the blink of an eye.

Only the monks who came to participate in the assessment and some protectors and deacons from the Hall of Human Virtue were left on the entire platform.

As the deputy head of the Hall of Human Virtue, he does not need to personally appear in charge of the assessment.

There was a Nascent Soul level protector on the side. He landed in front of the formation that exuded dreamy brilliance in the middle of the platform and took the initiative to arrange it.

"Gold Core Perfected Beings all come to me and line up."

On the platform, thirty or forty Gold Core Perfected Beings immediately lined up spontaneously and stood in front of the formation.

Soon, a Gold Core Perfected Being carefully walked into the formation under the arrangement of the guardian.

The formation itself is transparent, and the mirage within can be seen.

But when the monk walked into the formation.

The spirit mirage gently opened the white jade-like mirage shell, spitting out a dreamlike mist that quickly enveloped the entire formation.

Above the formation, the dreamlike brilliance becomes increasingly blurry.

…

above the sky.

A palace disappeared in the clouds and mist.

Without the permission of the master of the temple, it would be difficult for even the Nascent Soul monk to detect it.

But at this moment, there were more than ten figures sitting cross-legged in the palace.

At the top of the palace is the Master Fei of the Rende Palace.

Song Dongyang from the Diwu Palace, Guan Ao from the Tianyuan Palace, and Yao Wudi were sitting cross-legged next to Palace Master Fei.

Below are Tang Ji, Qi Yan and others.

"Wudi, aren't you always willing to participate in these things? Why are you here today?"

Hall Master Fei looked at Yao Wudi with great interest.

Facing Hall Master Fei's teasing, Yao Wudi did not dare to be as bold as before in front of Elder Du, and said honestly:

"Returning to my uncle, it's not a problem for me to be alone in Wan Dharma Lineage. So I just accepted a disciple, my nephew. For the sake of my nephew, uncle, why don't you make some arrangements for me, a disciple?" What’s your position, experience and experience?”

"You kid, it's an easy job, but you can't get enough experience."

Hall Master Fei was quite close to Yao Wudi and chuckled.

Song Dongyang below suddenly reminded:

"Uncle Fei, the assessment has begun."

In the middle of the palace, there is a spherical water curtain, which reflects everything in the formation below.

Everyone immediately looked away.

With the entry of the first Gold Core monk.

In the spherical water curtain in the temple, the moment the mirage spit out the mist, the Gold Core monk fell asleep directly.

Soon, bubbles appeared vaguely in the mist.

There are many sights contained within these bubbles.

Most of them are scenes of the Gold Core monk refining alchemy.

From the excitement and nervousness when I first came into contact with alchemy... to the numbness and confusion after practicing alchemy for a long time...

The scene in the bubble changed again after that.

The enchanting and naked foreign female cultivator...refining weapons...creating landscaping...

Lots and lots of chaos.

The bubbles gradually disappear.

But in the water curtain, two big empty characters slowly emerged.

"C on."

"Maybe you have some talent for alchemy, but unfortunately you don't have a strong will to practice for a long time."

Song Dongyang shook his head.

Hall Master Fei didn't say anything. He came here in person, and naturally he didn't come here for these Foundation Building and Gold Core monks.

His eyes glanced at him casually, but he didn't care.

Soon, within the water curtain, the mist within the formation was quickly inhaled by the mirage. In the blink of an eye, the formation was clearly visible again, and the Gold Core Perfected Being suddenly woke up, recalling what he had just encountered after falling asleep. When I saw the scene, I was immediately filled with despair.

Soon, the second Gold Core Perfected Being also walked in.

And at the same time.

The monks in the platform all looked nervously at the formation in front of them.

When they saw the fog disappearing and the Gold Core Perfected Being that just walked in walking out, they suddenly became restless.

"How's it going? Did you pass?"

They can't see anything concrete and can only guess.

However, what struck their minds was that the Gold Core Perfected Being who was the first to walk in walked straight to the corner with his head down and a dejected look on his face.

You can't leave this place now. You can only leave together after the entire assessment is over.

Seeing the failure of the first Gold Core Perfected Being, the monks below suddenly looked solemn.

All the monks who can be selected are geniuses from all countries.

Especially those who can cultivate to the Gold Core level in a small country with extremely limited resources, their will must be much stronger than that of ordinary people.

However, even so, it still failed, which shows the difficulty of this assessment.

Some monks who were still confident suddenly became solemn.

soon.

As the second and third Gold Core monks failed one after another, everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier.

Not long after the fourth Gold Core monk entered the formation.

Luo Yuzhong, the deputy master of Rende Palace who was silent on the side, suddenly turned cold:

"Evil heretics dare to sneak in!"

While speaking, he suddenly raised his hand.

The formation suddenly opened wide, and a sleeping Gold Core Perfected Being was captured directly.

The Gold Core Perfected Being suddenly opened his eyes, with a trace of fear flashing in his eyes:

"I was wrong! Don't kill me..."

Luo Yuzhong sneered slightly: "Don't worry! I will hand you over to Shaoyin Mountain."

Then Gold Core Perfected Being was immediately shocked!

You have to struggle immediately.

However, in Luo Yuzhong's hands, he could not move at all.

Luo Yuzhong was a little impatient, so he made a move, and the spiritual mirage in the formation immediately spit out a wisp of mist, which quickly poured into the nostrils of the Gold Core Perfected Being. In the blink of an eye, he fell asleep.

After being lightly thrown by Luo Yuzhong, it immediately turned into a stream of light and flew towards the distance.

Soon, to the west, a faint hand like a mountain suddenly stretched out, holding the Gold Core Perfected Being in its hand, and then quickly shrunk...

The monks who saw this scene were shocked.

"continue!"

Luo Yuzhong said without changing his expression.

Wang Ba underneath looked thoughtful when he saw this.

It seems that this formation not only assesses whether it meets the requirements for entry into the Myriad Manifestations Sect, but also checks whether the monks are reliable.

After all, if someone from a hostile sect sneaks in, there will be too many hidden dangers.

In fact, these people did not join the sect from the beginning, but joined halfway. It is understandable that the sect takes precautions in advance.

There were four or five Gold Core Perfected Beings in a row, and finally, one Gold Core Perfected Being walked out of the formation with a smile on his face.

The monks from the Rende Hall next to him also immediately came to greet him. Such special treatment immediately made everyone guess what was going on.

The originally solemn atmosphere finally became more relaxed.

And starting from this Gold Core Perfected Being, after a few intervals, new passers appeared again.

Soon, nearly forty Gold Core Perfected Beings all completed the assessment.

Except for the tragic Gold Core Perfected Being whose ulterior motives were discovered, there were only eight people who successfully passed the level.

However, as Tang Ji said, none of the three people from Yan State passed.

Although the three of them tried their best to hide it, Wang Ba could still see the deep frustration and disappointment in their eyes.

This made Wang Ba, who was originally somewhat confident, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Looking behind him, he unexpectedly found Mo Qi, who was full of pride, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Wang Ba feels the same way. After all, the pass rate is really low and it is difficult for anyone to deal with it calmly.

"Jiang Yi, Fellow Daoist, please come in."

At this time, the protector of Rende Hall looked at the group of bald female cultivators and said politely.

The bald female cultivator walked into the formation calmly with a smile on her face.

After half a quarter of an hour.

The fog within the formation quickly converged, and the bald female cultivator calmly walked out of the formation.

From her face, it was really hard to tell whether she had passed the level or not.

At this moment, Luo Yuzhong's expression suddenly changed slightly, revealing a look of surprise. He immediately looked at the bald female cultivator and said solemnly:

"Jiang Yi, you have passed the assessment, and due to your special situation, Hall Master Fei has decided to personally grant you the position of 'Dharma Protector of Shaoyang Mountain', and together with other protectors, you will be in charge of the first two floors of the 'Myriad Manifestations'."

The bald female cultivator finally had a slight change on her face.

She showed a slight expression of surprise and joy, then bowed her head respectfully towards the sky, and then saluted Luo Yuzhong.

"Thank you, Senior Fei, for your favor."

Immediately, under the guidance of a monk from the Hall of Human Virtue, he landed somewhere.

The monks of the Foundation Building who saw this scene could not hide the envy in their eyes.

Even Mo Qi was filled with shock and envy.

And the capital word convinced.

He knew a lot from Qi Yan.

In the Myriad Manifestations, no matter what kind of monk they are, in addition to practicing, they will also hold duties.

Once you have a position, you can receive your salary from the sect.

Generally speaking, Qi Refining and Foundation Building monks can only receive positions in the Fifth Division, Four Mountains, or Three Halls.

Some extremely powerful Foundation Building monks and Gold Core monks can receive elite disciple status or deacon status.

When you reach Nascent Soul, you can rely on your previous merits to be promoted to a protector, or you can try your best to win the position of the true successor of the sect.

This Jiang Yi was promoted to the Dharma Protector as soon as he entered the sect. In addition to being a Nascent Soul monk, he is probably also inseparable from the fact that he opened up a superficial path.

Different from Mo Qi's simple guess, Luo Yuzhong was quite surprised at this moment.

"The master of the palace has broken some rules this time... Ordinarily, no matter how talented he is, he must at least start as a deacon."

"I don't know what kind of evaluation it is that can actually make the palace master make such a decision."

But his doubts, at this moment, suddenly fell on the water curtain in the high-altitude palace.

The two big characters "A Shang" gleaming brightly shocked everyone present.

Even Hall Master Fei, who had already had a premonition, couldn't help but look shocked at this moment.

A monk who was originally in the early stage of Nascent Soul not only opened up an unprecedented new path of practice, but also reached the rare "Above" level in the evaluation of Taoist heart.

This kind of talent has only one thought in his mind.

"This girl has a promising future!"

Soul Formation basically didn’t run away.

Even a higher level...maybe not impossible!

"It's a pity that she was born in the wrong era..."

A deep sigh flashed across Hall Master Fei's eyes.

If such a talented and beautiful person had not been born in a world like this, his future achievements would be unimaginable...

Thinking of this, he suddenly lost interest in the subsequent assessment of the Foundation Building monks.

I watched a few patiently.

About to leave.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flew in from outside the hall.

"Junior Brother Du?"

Hall Master Fei looked at the unexpected old man's figure with some surprise.

"Master?"

Down in the hall, Qi Yan couldn't help but stood up in surprise and looked at the person coming.

The person who came was none other than Du Wei, the elder of Soul Formation of Myriad Manifestations Sect.

He looked at Hall Master Fei with a smile and gave a slight salute:

"Senior Brother Fei, haha, Junior Brother is here to bother you."

Upon hearing this, Hall Master Fei couldn't help but said curiously:

"Oh, I don't know what junior brother is doing?"

Qi Yan's heart moved.

I kind of guessed what the master was thinking.

"Could it be that Master knows that I have taken on a disciple and wants to find a job for him?"

Elder Du Wei seemed to be aware of something. He glanced at the spherical water curtain in the middle of the hall. He suddenly smiled and raised his hand:

"Junior brother, I am here just for this boy!"

Qi Yan quickly looked into the water curtain, but when he saw the figure in the water curtain, he was stunned. (end of this chapter)
