Who asked him to cultivate immortality!

The second day of the second lunar month is a good time to travel.

The moderate rain fell hard, falling to the ground, splashing the fragrance of earth, falling to the lake, creating ripples, falling on the heads of passers-by, causing low voices and curses.

"Who said it's a good day to go out? It rains when you go out." Lu Yang complained, regretting not bringing his raincoat in advance.

It was his first time traveling and he had little experience. It rained suddenly and soaked him all over. His shoes were muddy. As he walked, he felt like the ground was malicious towards him - he needed to pull his feet out of the mud puddle. .

A clicking sound came from behind, attracting Lu Yang's attention.

Lu Yang turned around and saw that a carriage was approaching him. There was no driver on the carriage. The old horse seemed to know the way and no one needed to control it.

"What a magical horse." Lu Yang admired. There were several scales on the old horse's forehead, which looked like snake scales. It was obviously some kind of alien monster.

Although he didn't understand the value, he also knew how precious this old horse was.

At least he couldn't afford it with his financial resources.

"Brother, it's really nice to take a walk in the rain. Why don't you come and sit in the car?"

The man's hearty laughter came from the carriage. Lu Yang accepted the man's kindness, pulled his feet out of the mud pit, and hurriedly got into the carriage.

"Sorry to bother you, I'm Lu Yang." Lu Yang carefully got into the car, fearing that the rain and mud on his body would stain the carriage.

"Meng Jingzhou." The owner of the carriage was just like his voice. He was a carefree young man, optimistic and cheerful, and seemed to be able to chat with anyone.

"Brother Lu is also here to participate in the Taoist Sect selection?"

"Just try your luck."

Meng Jingzhou laughed loudly: "Brother Lu, it doesn't hurt to be more honest. If you really just want to try your luck, you won't walk in the rain to go to Taoism."

Lu Yang was a little ashamed: "Who doesn't want to enter the Taoist Sect?"

The Taoist Sect is one of the five major immortal sects in the Central Continent. It has countless immortal cultivators and is extremely powerful. Today, the Taoist Sect is recruiting disciples, and I don’t know how many people want to give it a try.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are two of them.

Lu Yang traveled to the Central Continent. His parents died early, and he survived by relying on the little inheritance left by his parents and the help from his neighbors.

During the more than ten years of living in the small town, he heard about Mr. Shu's story about the Immortal Sword knocking on the Heavenly Gate. He heard about the demon turning around and flooding the river five hundred miles away. He heard about the disciples of the Immortal Sect flying swords to kill demons and eliminate demons and protect the way. I have seen sloppy Taoist priests cheating and kidnapping them, jumping into the air, escaping from prison in public, and then being caught back by officials who rose up in the air.

At that time, he knew that this was not the world he was familiar with, nor any dynasty he was familiar with. This was the world of cultivating immortals where the great power of an individual was integrated into one body.

He wanted to seek immortality and learn immortality techniques.

Taoism was the first stop he chose.

There is no other reason for choosing Taoist Sect. It is simply that there are no other sects around his home, only Taoist Sect.

Since Taoist Sect is here, other sects will not bring trouble to themselves and choose to establish sects nearby.

During the conversation, Lu Yang learned that Meng Jingzhou came from a family of immortal cultivators and had far more knowledge about cultivating immortals than Lu Yang.

"The Taoist Sect's requirement for recruiting disciples is mortals under the age of sixteen. It is not just the Taoist Sect, but most sects have this requirement."

"The road to cultivating immortality is long and difficult, including Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, transforming into gods, refining the void, combining bodies, and overcoming tribulations. Each realm is a watershed. I don't know how many people are stuck. One in ten, one in two Ten to one, or even one out of a hundred.”

"There are many factors that determine the success of cultivating immortals, such as luck, wisdom, spiritual roots... By the way, Brother Lu, do you know what spiritual roots you have?"

"Although Taoist Sect does not have high requirements for spiritual roots, spiritual roots that are too poor are not needed."

Lu Yang frowned. He only knew the word spiritual root from the storyteller, and he didn't know what kind of spiritual root he was.

"I don't know, Brother Meng, where are you?"

Meng Jingzhou's face became very confused, and he shook his head: "I once tested the spiritual roots in the clan, but the elder of the clan looked sad and did not tell me the results. He just said that my talent was astonishing, and I would not be able to join the five great immortal sects. I will know the problem later when I worship at the Five Great Immortal Sects. I secretly asked my parents in private, but they were even more worried than the clan elders and did not tell me either."

Lu Yang speculated: "It's possible that your spiritual roots are too shocking and can easily bring disaster to the Meng family. Only a behemoth like the Taoist Sect can save you."

"It's the same as I guessed." Meng Jingzhou patted Lu Yang on the shoulder, as if he had met a confidant. The more he looked at Lu Yang, the more he felt that this man was as talented as himself and was born with the seed of Taoism.

Lu Yang listened to the increasingly louder rain outside and was thankful that Meng Jingzhou let him get in the car.

"Stop." Meng Jingzhou suddenly shouted, and the old horse walked a few steps and slowly stopped.

The carriage was a rare treasure, and Meng Jingzhou could see what was going on outside the carriage.

Meng Jingzhou saw a woman walking in the rain outside the carriage, just like Lu Yang just now.

"This sister is walking in this direction, and she must be going to Taoism to participate in the test. It's raining so hard, why not come to the car to have a rest?"

The woman was a little surprised by Meng Jingzhou's suggestion. After thinking about it, she agreed.

As soon as the woman got into the car, Meng Jingzhou and Lu Yang were stunned.

Meng Jingzhou had seen the world, but he had never seen such a beautiful woman, not to mention Lu Yang. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was the little widow selling tofu next door.

Of course, Lu Yang is a gentleman and has no wrong thoughts about the little widow.

The woman is like an enchanting but not pretty lotus, dressed in white, standing gracefully, with bright eyes and white teeth, giving people a feeling of being from another world.

The woman also wears a string of golden bells on her right wrist.

"Yunzhi thanks you two."

The woman's voice is like a clear spring, which makes people feel comfortable.

Lu Yang noticed something strange and whispered: "Brother Meng, why is she covered with dry skin? Could it be a monster?"

In storytelling stories, monsters often turn into beautiful women to seduce young and strong young men like them.

Just now, Lu Yang was as miserable as a drowned rat. On the other hand, Yunzhi didn't have any rain on his body, and he didn't look like he had walked in the rain at all.

Meng Jingzhou didn't think much about it: "Maybe he has a rare treasure that can protect him from the rain. This is also common among wealthy families."

Meng Jingzhou is not worried that Yunzhi is a monster. This is the territory of the Taoist sect. No monster dares to come to the Taoist sect to cause trouble.

"Miss Yunzhi is here to take the Taoist test?"

"Exactly."

Meng Jingzhou said diligently: "I happen to have Taoist sect's test content here. I bought it from the Taoist sect elders with a lot of money. Miss Yunzhi, do you want to listen to it?"

Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou in surprise, why didn't you tell me?

Yunzhi was even more surprised than Lu Yang: "This is cheating. If the Taoist Sect discovers it..."

Meng Jingzhou waved his hand with a confident look on his face: "My carriage is a rare treasure. Even those old monsters who are powerful cultivators and live in seclusion cannot detect this place with their spiritual consciousness."

"I see. I would like to ask Mr. Meng to inform me about the content of the test."

When Lu Yang heard the words, he also pricked up his ears and listened.

Meng Jingzhou cleared his throat: "The Taoist test is divided into three levels. The first level tests the spiritual roots. This is a hard test. There is no possibility of trickery or shortcuts. The second and third levels have room for maneuver. "

"The second level is a test of character. A carriage is out of control and is going to hit five people lying on the roadside. If they hit them, they will definitely die. There is another person lying not far away. As outsiders, we can control the direction of the carriage. Choose to ignore it and kill five people, or change direction and kill another person?"

Lu Yang said without thinking: "Kill another person."

Meng Jingzhou was very surprised. He had not thought of a solution since he learned about the second level. How could Lu Yang make a decision immediately?

If you choose to ignore it, you will have to watch five people being killed. It makes sense in theory but feels guilty in your heart.

If you choose to change direction and hit another person to death, then that person is so unlucky and deserves to be hit to death, and he did it by his own hands.

Meng Jingzhou asked his question, and Lu Yang explained: "How can you have so much time to think? By the time you think about the result, those five people would have been killed long ago. I guess the test of Taoism is not your choice to save the five people." It’s still a person, it’s about whether you can make decisions quickly.”

"I heard Mr. Shu said that the difference between life and death among monks in martial arts. What is the character of the second test? It depends on whether you are indecisive or decisive. Making a decision in the shortest time is the most important."

Meng Jingzhou suddenly realized.

"The third test is honesty. Taoism has a mirror that can judge whether you are telling the truth or a lie. If you are found to have told a lie, you will be kicked out of the test directly."

Lu Yang thought about it: "This level is quite simple. If you are not warned in advance, it is easy to tell lies to cover yourself up. But since you know it in advance, just tell the truth."

Meng Jingzhou nodded, he thought so too.

The two discussed it for a while and came up with many possible accidents and countermeasures. After summing up, they felt that it was perfect.

Miss Yunzhi showed a smile, as if she thought what the two of them said was a good idea.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for telling me."

"Well, the rain has stopped?" Lu Yang found that there was no more sound of raindrops falling outside the car, so he couldn't help but curiously looked out.

It was still raining heavily in the place they just walked through, but the place where they were was sunny and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. It was as if a peerless sword energy divided the world into two halves of Yin and Yang, which would never intersect.

Lu Yang looked up and saw countless rare and exotic beasts and immortal magic weapons rushing toward the towering mountains that stretched straight into the sky.

The majestic mountains were coated with a layer of light gold by the sunlight, and magnificent patterns spread out from behind the mountains, covering the sky and covering the earth, blocking the heavy rain.

That is the gateway mountain to the Taoist sect, and above it is the sect-protecting formation, which no one can break.

Out of respect for the Taoist sect, the monastic genius, led by his elders, landed at the foot of the mountain and waited for the Taoist sect to start the test.

Lao Ma is already a rare alien beast, but compared with the handsome alien beasts resting at the foot of the mountain, it is still a little inferior.

"Mom, this is much more domineering than our Meng family's house." Meng Jingzhou rubbed his hands, feeling a little nervous. He was even more excited when he thought that he would soon pass the test and become a member of the Taoist sect.

Lu Yang didn't say anything. He could see this mountain when he was at home. At that time, it was too far away and he couldn't feel it. Standing at the foot of the mountain, he realized how huge it was.

He was a little nervous. There were solutions for the second and third tests, but he still didn't know what his spiritual root was. He might not even be able to pass the first test.

Dozens of monks stood in the sky, guarding in front of the mountain, all emitting powerful aura fluctuations. Lu Yang suspected that if they completely let go of their auras, not many of them would be able to stand.

These monks remained silent and put psychological pressure on people for no reason.

Lu Yang heard an elder of the family introducing the younger generation: "Look at the Taoist robes, these are the core disciples of the Taoist Sect. They are all disciples of the major elders. From now on, these people will be your senior brothers."

"Don't be nervous. They are not deliberately putting pressure on you. It seems that they are waiting for the person to preside over this test. When the presiding officer arrives, the test will begin."

Lu Yang turned his head, wanting to see Miss Yunzhi's reaction, whether she was excited or nervous.

You can't just keep looking indifferent, right?

"Miss Yunzhi, you..."

Just as Lu Yang was about to say something, he saw Miss Yunzhi stepping lightly. Before each step, a white lotus would hold up her weak body.

Everyone was in an uproar, and the elders of the family had cold sweat on their foreheads, and they quickly silenced the younger ones.

White lotus paved the road across the crowd. Miss Yunzhi came to the center of the core disciples of the Taoist Sect. The disciples of the Taoist Sect bowed to show their respect. Miss Yunzhi raised her bare hands lightly and then faced everyone with a pursed smile. .

"I have kept everyone waiting. I am Senior Sister Daozong, the host of this test."

"I declare that the test has officially begun."

After saying that, Miss Yunzhi still glanced at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou who were stunned with a half-smile.

She did come to take part in the Taoist test, but she was not a candidate, but an examiner.
