Tianxu Sect’s inner sect, Danfeng.
In Mo Chuan's cave, the formation is open all year round.
A man in brocade clothes with a handsome face was looking at a wooden hairpin. Suddenly, he exerted a little force with his fingers, and the hairpin broke with a "crack".
"It is indeed ordinary pear wood..." When Mo Chuan learned that the news of his purchase of hairpins had spread outside, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
This time, most likely, was a plot by Lin Wangchen. He suspected that the loss of the Ganoderma Lucidum was also caused by Lin Wangchen.
Not only did he lose the Ganoderma Lucidum and the Seven-Leaf Flower, he also lost more than 500,000 spirit stones.
Not only that.
Mo Chuan, with a gloomy face, found a piece of the youngest soul-nourishing wood, then took out a sharp knife and carefully carved it into the style of a wooden hairpin.
This time, I lost another piece of soul-nourishing wood.
The carving of the style is complete, and the only thing left is the last crucial step, which is to disguise the soul-nourishing wood as ordinary wood. This involves some things, and the cost has risen to another level...
So on that day, Xu Sect spread the news that Danfeng's eldest disciple Mo Chuan was a victim who spent hundreds of thousands of spirit stones to buy a wooden hairpin worth ten spirit beads. People who usually did not often come to visit Danfeng one after another.
Soon, someone witnessed with their own eyes that the ordinary-looking hairpin, in Mo Chuan's hands, removed its disguise and turned into a priceless soul-nourishing wood.
The price of a finger-knuckle-sized soul-nourishing wood on the market is 880,000 yuan, and it may not be available even if you want to buy it. Mo Chuan only spent more than 500,000 yuan to buy a soul-nourishing wood hairpin, which is a great bargain.
The news spread quickly.
The wind direction reversed.
The sucker suddenly turned into a person with a keen eye for talent.
Some sect disciples even ran to the mountain gate to see if they could get something for free. Unfortunately, they didn't see Xie Jiuniang setting up a stall.
In Dongxu Palace, Chao Yan and the other two looked dazed. Could it be that they really had made a mistake
When Lin Wangchen received the news, his first thought was that it was impossible. He had clearly asked someone to investigate and found out that the wooden hairpin was only carved from pear wood, and it was impossible for it to suddenly become a soul-nourishing wood.
However, some people saw with their own eyes that the wooden hairpin had its disguise removed.
Could it be...
Was he really mistaken
After all, he hadn't confirmed it himself.
Lin Wangchen sat quietly in front of the tea table, holding the tea bowl in his hand, as if thinking about something. He had already given up the idea of doubting Xie Jiuniang and decided to observe for a while.
Xie Jiuniang was practicing in the small isolation array, unaware that she was being tricked by Mo Chuan. She, who had originally cleared herself of suspicion, once again attracted Lin Wangchen's attention.
When others saw Xie Jiuniang practicing, they followed her and found a place to meditate.
Xie Jiuniang works so hard at such a young age, no wonder she was promoted four levels in one year. There is no reason for them to waste time.
Therefore, in the last few days, more and more disciples gathered in the mountain gate square, but no disciples of the Xie family were seen again.
Until the last day.
The small isolation formation was closed, and the thirteen members of the Xie family appeared together.
There were many people using formation plates in the square, and their methods were not very conspicuous. However, some people were waiting for them.
Xie Xu and the other twelve didn't feel it deeply, but Xie Jiuniang immediately noticed something different.
Dozens of spiritual senses swept towards her, and she was able to easily discover them because there were cultivators of the same level among them.
Xie Xu took the initiative and used his spiritual sense to block most of the detection for her. As for the few who were above the foundation-building stage, he was powerless to stop them.
Xie Jiuniang laughed out of anger and was about to stand up and curse.
Xie Si Niang's words were full of curses.
The other tribesmen also stood up subconsciously and surrounded the youngest Xie Jiuniang in the middle, even though some of them had lower cultivation than Xie Jiuniang.
In a flash, those spiritual senses withdrew completely.
In the world of immortal cultivation, using spiritual sense to investigate others is a taboo and is considered a provocation. If a high-level cultivator forcibly investigates a low-level cultivator without martial ethics, the person being investigated can only consider themselves unlucky. However, for a low-level cultivator to use spiritual sense to investigate a high-level cultivator is simply courting death.
The high-level monks have strong spiritual consciousness. As long as they want, they can easily seriously injure the souls of low-level monks. At that time, the injury is the injury, and there is no place to reason. Who asked you to provoke first
Xie Jiuniang narrowed her eyes slightly. She felt uncomfortable being treated as a weakling and investigated at will, but it felt good to be protected by others.
In the previous life, only one or two people from the tribe finally passed through, and there would be no such thing as today. Unconsciously, many things have changed...
"snort!"
Elder Chao Yan snorted coldly from above, and the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator emanated out, warning the sect disciples who were watching the new disciple.
Almost all of those who used their spiritual sense to investigate Xie Jiuniang were disciples of the sect. They were all curious because of the various rumors in recent days, so they came here to watch.
All kinds of rumors revolve around one person. For example, the first person who dared to do business during the sect assessment was called a small profiteer.
I sold a wooden hairpin at a high price and asked Senior Brother Mo Chuan to buy it. It turned out to be a soul-nourishing wood!
What was even more shocking was that she successfully broke through the blockade of more than a dozen sect disciples on her own. Although those disciples were also in the Qi training stage, their cultivation was higher than hers.
Elder Chao Yan said, "The first round of assessment is over. The disciples who have not yet reached the mountain gate will be eliminated. The last step of the assessment is to walk up the mountain. Anyone who can walk up the mountain safely will become an outer disciple of Tianxu Sect."
After one round, 60 to 70 percent of the candidates were eliminated, leaving more than 10,000 qualified disciples.
Xie Jiuniang found that it was better than in the previous life, as 90% of the people in the previous life were eliminated.
As long as you pass the first round of screening, it is equivalent to half a step into the sect. As for the ten thousand feet ladder mentioned by the Yuanying elder, it is nothing at all.
The ladder to heaven is just for bluffing.
Righteous cultivators have better physical fitness and can climb up easily. On the contrary, evil cultivators, demonic cultivators and the like will face difficulties with every step they take and will soon reveal their true colors.
The biggest test of the sect is the first round, from Xi'an City to the mountain gate. Within a month, those who are exposed to bad behavior will basically be eliminated. Even if a person is very capable, the sect's test personnel will do something tricky to prevent the other party from reaching the mountain gate within a month.
Of course, these inside stories will not be made public. In her previous life, Xie Jiuniang only knew about them by chance.
Just as Xie Jiuniang knew.
The Xie family members climbed up the ladder easily without encountering any illusions.
After reaching the top of the mountain, someone arranged for the new disciples to retest their spiritual roots, register, and receive identity tokens, sect manuals, and disciple uniforms.
Just as Xie Jiuniang finished receiving it, she heard a scream from behind her. She turned around quickly and saw a human-shaped blood mist exploding in the air.
It was Elder Chao Yan who used his spiritual power to lift a person high into the air and then crushed him to pieces with violence, leaving no trace of him.
Xie Jiuniang's heart skipped a beat. "What's going on?"
"There are demon cultivators who want to sneak into the sect. We encounter them every time we recruit new disciples. It's nothing new." The sect disciple who was distributing things explained.
Xie Jiuniang had never encountered this demon cultivator in her previous life. It was very likely that this demon cultivator did not survive the first round in her previous life.
"Fourth sister, let's go to the Crane Garden and rent a crane to go to the outer sect's No. 4 Mountain." Xie Jiuniang pretended to flip through the sect's manual, then pulled Xie Si Niang along and left.
If you want a good place to stay outside the gate, you have to hurry up, first come first served.
If you are slow, you can only pick up the houses left by others.
