Until Xiao Du walked out of the Qingwu Courtyard, he still couldn't believe that the person who taught him for so long disappeared from his world just like that, and a huge sense of panic hit him inexplicably, looking at the dark sky outside , Xiao Du didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, a relatively unfamiliar voice came from behind: "Your name is Xiao Du, isn't it?"
Turning around suddenly, Xiao Du couldn't help but put on some vigilance after seeing Liu Yexian, how could this Xuanji sect member come to him suddenly at this time.
Could it be that Lin Ruo said something on purpose, so this person came to support her? Xiao Du inevitably thought of the worst.
Xiao Du took a step back quietly, and made a respectful look: "It's me, what orders does the immortal have?"
This is the person appointed by Master Ling Rong. Although he doesn't know the relationship between the two of them, Liu Yexian dare not be slow: "Just call me Brother Liu, don't be so cautious. We will set off to go back to Xuanji tomorrow." Zong, when the time comes, I will send someone to tell you to leave together." Liu Yexian subconsciously thought that Ling Rong had already made an agreement with the young man, but he didn't want Ling Rong to fall ill just after finishing the order, and he didn't even have time to breathe.
Xiao Du didn't cooperate at all: "What does the immortal mean? I'm just a servant of the first class, how can I have the honor to leave with the immortal?"
After saying this, Liu Yexian was also stunned for a moment. Hearing the meaning of this sentence, why did he feel that this child didn't know about it at all? Could it be that Uncle Ling Rong made a temporary decision, she and this child haven't met yet
The more you think about it, the more likely it is, Liu Yexian simply asked: "You know Venerable Ling Xiao from the cultivation world, she is the one who ordered me to take you back to the sect, are you willing?"
As soon as the words Venerable Ling Xiao came out, Xiao Du immediately looked up at the man in front of him, this cultivator actually knew her! And according to the meaning of the other party's words, that person seems to be from the Xuanji Sect.
"You said Venerable Ling Xiao asked you to take me to Guizong?" Xiao Du repeated as if he was afraid that he had heard wrong.
"Yes, it is the order of the uncle."
Xiao Du gained a lot of information from it, but now it's not his turn to think about it, Ling Rong didn't lie to him, and even remembering him made him happy enough.
More importantly, he knew where to find her, and that was enough.
Aside from his joy, Xiao Du still hadn't forgotten his current identity, he said hesitantly: "But my contract of sale is still in the Lin Mansion." What he was worried about was that the Lin Mansion would not let people go easily, especially Lin Ruo.
Liu Yexian doesn't have to worry about this at all: "Don't worry, I can still solve this point. You just need to pack up your things and leave with us tomorrow."
Xiao Du rarely made the most sincere salute ever: "Then thank you, Immortal."
But the next day when Lin Ruo packed up and was about to set off, he saw Xiao Du who was also in the queue, and his face turned pale with fright. He pointed at the boy tremblingly and said, "He... why is he here?"
"Ruo'er! Don't be rude!" Lin Chenghao, who had already discussed it properly, quickly reminded his daughter not to lose manners in front of the immortal, "Xiao Du was appointed by the immortal, and it just so happens that you two will have someone to take care of you in the future."
Lin Chenghao didn't know that the concubine's heart was beating around the bush, but considering the interests of the family, wouldn't it be better if one more person from the Lin family stepped into the realm of cultivation, and today he let people go, Xiao Du should also know how to be grateful.
"No... my daughter is just too excited, San... Congratulations." Lin Ruo quickly changed his expression and tried not to let Liu Yexian see anything, but no matter how he heard the congratulations, he was unwilling.
Xiao Du has become like this, how can he still step into the world of comprehension! Could it be that the hero's halo is really irreversible!
Even though Lin Ruo was reluctant, he had no choice but to set off with Xiao Du's team. Of course, the eldest prince Xiao Ming also set off together. The moment he saw Xiao Du, he was as shocked as Lin Ruo.
"Emperor... Emperor brother!"
Xiao Du raised the corners of his lips meaningfully: "Brother Huang, long time no see."
Frightened, Xiao Ming quickly pulled Lin Ruo to a secret place, wanting to ask what was going on, but the answer he got was not satisfactory.
"I don't know what's going on, I just know that Senior Brother Liu asked to bring him along."
"It was impossible for Liu Yexian to know him before, so why did he suddenly want to bring Xiao Du along! Could it be that he got attached to some important person while we didn't know?!"
"Then what should we do? Will he take revenge on us?" Lin Ruo worried.
"Don't be in a hurry," Xiao Ming quickly calmed down. "He doesn't have any cultivation right now. It's hard to say whether he can enter the Xuanji Sect. We'll pick a good time later."
After three days of rushing, the group successfully arrived at the foot of Xuanjizong Mountain, and in front of everyone was a long staircase that seemed to have no end in sight, as if it led to the sky.
"This is the Ladder to Heaven, which is the key to becoming a disciple of the Xuanji Sect. Only if you can pass it successfully can you officially become an outer disciple. If you fail to pass, you can only start as a handyman disciple." Liu Yexian gave Lin Ruo and others explained.
And this Stairway to Heaven is also an opportunity for others to enter the Xuanji Sect. If it is not for the disciples selected by inner disciples who go to the world every year, then other people can only pass this ladder if they want to enter the Xuanji Sect. The entry requirements are much harsher than these people. If they fail, they don't even have the qualifications to be handyman disciples. They can only leave sadly and challenge again when the ladder opens next year.
"Don't worry, this ladder won't harm you, it will just send you back to the starting point when you can't hold on, but that also means that you failed the challenge, you can't become an outer disciple, you can only be a miscellaneous As disciples, this ladder not only tests your strength, but also your mind and perseverance, I wish you success, I will wait for you on the top."
After Liu Yexian finished speaking, he walked straight towards Xiao Du and said, "Come with me first."
From his point of view, Xiao Du was the person Master Ling Rong wanted, and he didn't have any cultivation, so he didn't need to pass the ladder at all, and of course it was impossible to pass it. It was only natural to operate in secret.
However, Xiao Ming was not happy, and called out his names directly: "Senior Brother Liu, why doesn't he use the ladder?"
Now is the recruiting season of Xuan Jizong, and there are countless people who come to challenge the ladder every day. The appearance of this group has already attracted everyone's attention, but Xiao Ming's words immediately aroused the sympathy and dissatisfaction of the people around.
"That's right, why can he not take the ladder, and it's not the case to open the back door, isn't your Xuanji sect the most self-righteous?"
"Besides, he doesn't seem to have even a little spiritual power. Could it be that such a person can also enter the Xuanji sect?!"
"This..." Liu Yexian had nothing to say for a moment, and now he really didn't know how to explain it.
Seeing Liu Yexian's embarrassing appearance, Xiao Du also knew that if he didn't pass this ladder himself, he would never be able to convince the crowd, and would even make the matter worse.
He didn't know how big that person's status was in Xuanjizong, but he didn't want to cause her any trouble.
"It's okay Senior Brother Liu, I can take the ladder." He also knew that it would be impossible for him to pass this world with no cultivation at all, but he didn't dislike being a handyman disciple, As long as there is a chance to be close to her, he will do his best to fight for it.
"But your cultivation level..." Liu Yexian also walked through this ladder back then, so he naturally knew the situation inside. Although the ladder does not strictly examine people's cultivation level, the coercion it exerts often requires a lot of effort. Using spiritual power to resist, it is difficult for people with low cultivation to persevere to climb to the top under such coercion, and in the end they have to be sent back to the original place.
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Seeing his insistence, Liu Yexian had nothing to do: "Well, all of you have to remember that you are not allowed to fight privately on the ladder, and your every move on the ladder will be watched by the elders. If someone makes a small move, don't blame me for the strict rules of Xuanjizong."
"yes!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel a little regretful, since someone is watching, he can't make small moves, it seems that he can only hope that this person will fail himself or wait until he enters the sect to show him some good looks.
"Okay, start when you are ready, I will wait for you up there, I wish you all the best."
After speaking, Liu Yexian and a group of other juniors and juniors stopped staying down the mountain, and disappeared into the entrance in an instant, and the group of people who watched were amazed again and again.
This is cultivating immortals! They will surely be able to reach such heights in the future.
The first time Liu Yexian returned to the sect was of course to report the situation of the descending to the sect master and other peak masters. At this moment, because they wanted to observe the situation on the ladder, the peak masters of all the peaks gathered in the main peak hall of the sect master. Pay attention to this disciple.
Often, many peak masters select their personal disciples at this time, and bring them back to the peak directly after they come up, while the rest who are not selected can only become outer disciples, and they can only become disciples when the inner sects are unified. There is an opportunity to enter the inner door.
There are four grades of disciples in Xuanji Sect. The highest status is of course the direct disciples of the suzerain and the peak masters. Not only can they be taught by the powerful, but they also have the best resources. Choose the peak you want to study by yourself, and the direct disciples are generally known as direct brothers and sisters.
Even worse, the outer sect disciples not only have to live far away from the inner sect disciples, but also have far less resources than the inner sect disciples. The only way to enter the inner sect is to wait for the inner sect competition once a year and win people. You can go in, and those who lose will come out. The cruel selection mode is also the reason why the Xuanji Sect has been able to stand as the number one sect until now, ensuring that the core disciples are all top-notch.
Of course, no matter how strict a sect is, there will always be places where dirt can hide, let alone a sect as big as the Xuanji Sect, it is naturally difficult to avoid it sometimes.
The worst class is the handyman disciples. As the name suggests, no matter how high their status is in the world, as long as you are not strong enough here, you can only do the lowest work. The world of self-cultivation couldn't be more real.
After Liu Yexian reported the situation, the master of Jianfeng became very curious about his disciple's actions at the foot of the mountain: "Yexian, you brought back the child whose spiritual root was destroyed this time? What's going on? "
It stands to reason that his disciples are the most impartial and strict, so how could he openly open the back door
Liu Yexian hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly: "Returning to Master, to be honest, that boy was brought back by Master Ling Rong."
Who in the whole Xuanji sect doesn't know that Venerable Ling Xiao of Jianfeng is almost in the same position as the suzerain, and who would dare not listen to her orders!
