To Cultivate Immortality, You Need Luck

Chapter 31 The first step of entry assessment: Qualification screening

Kong Jiao was caught off guard by the bright light, which dazzled his eyesight and fell into a state of temporary blindness.

Wait until his eyes regain their vision.

It was dark, but not completely dark.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have left the Frost Moon Altar and entered a completely unfamiliar space.

"That's how the formation was used just now."

Kong Jiao has a clear mind.

He stretched out his hand to rub his still sore eyes, and could vaguely see patches of light blue dotted around the space, barely illuminating the space.

It was deathly silent here, so quiet that Kong Jiao could hear the beating of his own heart.

"No wonder those seniors searched the Shuangyue Altar over and over again, but couldn't find anything left by their predecessors. It turns out that the Shuangyue Altar still has such a place." Kong Jiao's murmuring voice spread through the space. It was originally as thin as a mosquito. The sound now clearly spreads throughout every corner of this space.

After a short period of time, Kong Jiao's eyes began to gradually adapt to the dark environment.

With the help of the dim light around him, he looked at this space again.

Directly in front of the space is where the light blue light is most abundant.

A huge unknown plant that was almost as tall as an adult was the source of the light.

Futons are scattered on the floor of this space. The futons are placed very regularly, one every three steps.

Ta-ta! Kong Jiao cautiously stepped forward and walked slowly among the futons, heading towards the front where the light source was the most abundant.

When he got closer, he could clearly see the true appearance of the vegetation.

It's a Ganoderma lucidum.

Its branches are almost as thick as Kong Jiao's waist, and the canopy of Ganoderma lucidum is nearly five feet, requiring two people to hug it.

Whether it is the branches or the umbrella cover, they are all crystal clear and flowing with magical brilliance.

Those brilliance are the source of light in this space.

As Kong Jiao got closer, the more he looked at it, the more familiar the Ganoderma lucidum became.

Finally, the confusion on his face turned into dullness.

"Yue Ning Bingzhi!" With these four words echoing in his mind, Kong Jiao's pupils dilated slightly, and there was unconcealable horror in his eyes.

The Moon Ning Bingzhi is so exaggeratedly big that I’m afraid there won’t be another one in the entire world of cultivation!

For things like Spirit Medicine, the longer it takes, the stronger the effect will be.

Kong Jiao stared blankly at the Yuen Ning Bing Zhi. He found that with his limited experience, it was difficult to judge the value of this Yu Ning Bing Zhi.

What's ridiculous is that not long ago, I fought to the death with a guy from the Sixth Level of Wheel-Nurturing over a Bingdi Ice Mushroom.

Kong Jiao was in a state of shock and confusion.

An accident happened.

Boom! A pair of frosty-white light pillars as bright as the bright moon suddenly bloomed from underneath the huge Yue Ning Bing Zhi.

In the dark, this level of light almost illuminates the entire space.

For a moment, the space here was as bright as day.

Kong Jiao was the first to bear the brunt, and his whole body was completely exposed to the light.

He was frightened by the sudden accident.

Then he pulled away and retreated.

Under the light, Kong Jiao's face was extremely solemn as he stared at the source of the light.

But under the strong light, it was difficult for Kong Jiao to see the body emitting strong light.

At this moment, the light converged, as if it had never appeared before.

Space fell into darkness again.

Gulu! Kong Jiao swallowed, feeling tense all over due to this unclear situation.

His body was overly tense and his heart was beating so fast that he could hear his own heartbeat.

The darkness did not last long.

A beam of soft brilliance sprinkled down from the top of the space, illuminating the space again. The source of the brilliance was an unknown blue crystal the size of a human head.

Kong Jiao used the light to see clearly the source of the two beams of light, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

It was a figure covered in dust, sitting cross-legged under the huge Yue Ning Bing Zhi.

Judging from his appearance alone, he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, with clear facial features and a handsome look.

His expression was dull, and there was a mark similar to a crescent moon between his eyebrows. He was wearing a tattered white long-sleeved wide shirt that was almost decayed by the power of time.

When Kong Jiao looked at him.

His pair of dark golden eyes that seemed to be emotionless were fixed directly on Kong Jiao's body, with a faintly restrained brilliance visible in his pupils.

Kong Jiao suddenly understood the origin of the two beams of light just now.

"His eyes!" Kong Jiao exhaled slowly with a solemn expression.

Although the man didn't show any breath.

But the more this happened, the more Kong Jiao didn't dare to underestimate him.

An ancient cultivator who has lived for who knows how long.

This identity alone made Kong Jiao's palms sweat, and his uneasy mood affected his thinking.

But at the moment, he still made a bow and said in a nervous and hoarse voice: "Senior, this junior has no intention of intruding into your place and no intention of disturbing you."

Kong Jiao's voice echoed in the space for a long time.

But the man didn't respond.

He just slowly stood up from the ground where he was sitting cross-legged.

With such a simple movement, his rotten wide shirt fell off his body, turning into crumbs and scattered on the ground.

The exposed body under the clothes made Kong Jiao's pupils shrink.

That is not a normal human body.

Each mechanism part is embedded in his body, and every part is rotating as he moves.

During the friction, there was a soft clicking sound.

Obviously, the 'senior' in front of Kong Jiao was not an ancient cultivator, but an institutional puppet that had existed for who knows how many years.

Even so, Kong Jiao did not dare to underestimate him.

"After such a long time, even the palm-sized Yue Ning Bingzhi can grow to the height of a human, and its clothes have been rotted into ashes. But this puppet can still run as before."

"On the contrary, living people are easier to deal with. At least they can communicate. I don't know if this machine puppet is conscious or not. What if it has murderous intentions?"

"Damn it, how are you going to get out of this place? There's not even a place to escape."

While Kong Jiao was secretly thinking about what to do next.

The puppet had already taken two steps under Kong Jiao's watchful gaze and arrived directly in front of the space where the futons were scattered.

Kong Jiao saw his dark golden eyes staring at him again, and a stiff voice came out of the puppet's mouth.

"The assessment begins, the entry-level disciples take their seats."

"He can actually talk!" Kong Jiao raised his eyebrows in surprise when the puppet suddenly spoke.

Then he was attracted by the two key words in his words, and he looked thoughtful.

"Assessment? Beginner disciple?"

Kong Jiao took a moment to think, his eyes sweeping around the futon-covered space.

As if he understood something.

"It turns out that this is the space where the sect selected its entry-level disciples. These futons are prepared for those entry-level disciples."

Obviously, this puppet regarded Kong Jiao as a disciple who came to participate in the entrance examination of its sect.

And he is fulfilling his duties.

The reason why it regards Kong Jiao as its entry-level disciple must be related to the Falling Frost Wheel-Nurturing Scripture he practices.

Kong Jiao was able to enter this space because he possesses the spiritual power of frost.

Before, he was afraid that this puppet who didn't know the depth of his strength would attack him violently.

Now that Kong Jiao had figured out the joints, he was no longer nervous.

His eyes first glanced at the puppet's emotionless eyes.

Then he slowly sat on the futon closest to the puppet among the countless futons.

Although he doesn't know what the assessment content is, Cloud Veined Steele guided him here, so the purpose of the assessment must be closely related to his chance.

The puppet seems to have some intelligence, but it is different from normal people.

It seemed to understand that Kong Jiao was the only one at the scene.

So the eyes were always on him.

When Kong Jiao officially took his seat, he withdrew his gaze and continued to speak in his unique hollow voice: "Start the first step of the entrance examination: qualification screening."

After speaking, the puppet slowly stretched out his palm, and formed an ancient seal between his fingers.

The seal is formed.

Boom! A bright white moon appeared between his hands.

The smooth, mirror-like front of the moon is facing Kong Jiao.
