Feng Ci did not have a spiritual pet.
The art of controlling the spirit is a spell that establishes a blood contract with a spiritual pet, and then uses the power of the soul to drive its will. It's not that Feng Ci doesn't know how to do it, it's that he can't practice it.
From thousands of years ago to the present, he has not found a spiritual pet that can withstand the pressure of his soul.
This can be regarded as a sad thing in Feng Ci's heart.
However, even though he had never raised a spiritual pet, after being reminded like this, he remembered that he had indeed had a relationship with a little snake before.
That was three thousand years ago, after he had just conquered the world. At that time, the world of comprehension was riddled with holes, and a thousand wastes were waiting to be rebuilt. Those who could make a decision were either dead or seriously injured, and Feng Ci had to personally intervene in everything, which was a lot of trouble.
After a few days of this kind of life, Feng Ci couldn't go on, he threw away the mess and ran away to the world to be free.
He picked up the little black snake at the foot of a snow mountain.
Not long after he was born, he was thin and small, pitch-black, but a pair of golden eyes were very beautiful. Clearly his whole body was frozen, seeing Feng Ci approaching, he poked his tail up and pitifully hooked the hem of his clothes.
On a whim, Feng Ci fed the little snake a drop of blood, which saved its life.
Been hooked ever since.
Feng Ci didn't think a little snake could haunt him for long, so he let it go. But who knows, this entanglement has entangled him for half a year, until he found Lingwu Mountain, which is suitable for storing his body, and was entangled until he was about to leave his body and leave this world.
Before leaving, he put the little black snake into Lingwu Mountain together with his magic weapon.
Lingwu Mountain is protected by his magic circle, and there is no need to worry about food or drink in the mountain, which is expected to be enough for the little black snake to be free and worry-free in this life.
After so many years, he had already passed away when he was a little black snake, but he did not expect to be able to cultivate a human form.
How to put it, it's like going out for many years, and when you come back, you suddenly find that your little boy has grown up and is promising.
Quite gratified.
"... So, why are you suddenly willing to stay?"
When asked this question, Meng Changqing and Feng Ci were following the disciples of Langfeng City who led the way on the mountain road leading to the main peak.
The mountain is cold and windy, but the mountain road is extremely narrow, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated. The snow at the feet is lifted by the hem of the clothes and rolls down into the bottomless valley.
Feng Ci got up too early today, and at the moment he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but Meng Changqing was full of energy: "Didn't you want to leave here before?"
Feng Ci glanced at him and said vaguely, "Have I changed my mind?"
This statement is not false.
Feng Ci has been away from this world for so many years, and suddenly learned that there is still a little black snake who can barely be regarded as an old friend, so he can't help but want to meet his old friend and chat with him for comfort.
What's more, his family's little black snake has cultivated in Lingwu Mountain, and is now the head of the Immortal Alliance. Yu Gong, he has clues about the current situation of the cultivation world and the destruction of the Xianmen, so it is worth exploring. In private, the whereabouts of Feng Ci's body is still unknown. His body was guarded by the little black snake back then.
No matter what he thought, he should stay and meet Pei Qianyue.
As for the offense that night...
It's just that the child is a little more suspicious, which is harmless and understandable.
"After crossing this vine bridge, the main peak is ahead." The disciple leading the way stopped by the vine bridge.
This disciple was only in his early twenties, and was still very young. His gestures were as gentle as jade, and he had an air of dignity: "Langfeng City is located in the Kunlun Mountains, and within a radius of a hundred miles, you can't fly in the air. Even the elders of the Xianmeng and the heads of the six sects will come here in person. You can only go up the mountain on foot, or take a flying boat."
"But don't worry, since the two of you intend to enter my Langfeng City, I will distribute access tokens to you after you formally become a master."
"With a pass order, you can enter the front mountain from the pass circle at the bottom of the mountain, and it can save you a lot of trouble."
Having said that, the disciple paused for a moment.
Feng Ci didn't care, and was about to continue walking, when suddenly there was a whistling wind in front of him.
The snow on the vine bridge was blown up by the gust of wind, and quickly condensed into a small tornado in mid-air, wrapped in a sharp aura, and hit them head-on.
Feng Ci lazily stretched out his hand, picked up Meng Changqing's collar, and dragged him behind him.
The wind and snow came straight to the door, but the disciple leading the way squeezed a sword formula in his sleeve, raised his hand and smashed the wind and snow to pieces.
Fine snow fell all over their bodies one after another, and the other party turned around and explained unhurriedly: "There are some restrictions on the climbing path, which are a test for outsiders, and it can be regarded as a shelter for the master."
It wasn't until they set foot on the mountain in front of Langfeng City that Feng Ci realized that the words "set up some restrictions" were already very cryptic. It took less than half an hour to walk from the outer courtyard where they lived to Qianshan Square, and he couldn't remember how many times they encountered traps.
Anyway, it is the number one immortal sect in the world today, there are dangers everywhere, every step is a trap, as for it
What they don't know is who they are defending against.
***
The Qianshan Square was already full of people.
Feng Ci had heard from Meng Changqing about the selection rules of Xianmeng beforehand.
The Immortal League was established by the six oldest sects in the cultivation world. Up to now, there are twenty-eight immortal sects in the alliance. But the selection of the Immortal Alliance is only held for the old sixth sect.
In this era when you can enter a fairy school to learn Taoism with money, the selection rules of the Xianmeng can be regarded as the most stringent in the entire cultivation world.
The selection of the Immortal Alliance is usually held in Langfeng City, and each of the old six sects sends an elder to participate.
The elders of the six sects passed one level each based on their sect's proficiency in spells. Only after successfully passing the six levels can they be considered as passing the primary assessment.
When Feng Ci and Meng Changqing were brought back to Langfeng City, the six-door assessment was already halfway through.
It stands to reason that they should not have the opportunity to participate in this selection. The reason given by Langfeng City is that they broke through the maze of Lingwu Mountain and retreated unscathed. level two.
This second level of assessment is now.
Feng Ci raised his eyes and looked forward.
There is a white jade high platform on the Qianshan square, which is the place where all the disciples take the root bone test. And in front of the white jade platform, above the long steps, are the positions of the elders of the six sects.
But now, there are only five seats.
Feng Ci frowned: "Isn't Pei Qianyue coming?"
"Shh, why are you calling the city lord by his name again!" Meng Changqing reprimanded in a low voice, "I heard that the city lord never participates in these occasions, even if you really enter the door, it's hard to say whether you can see him."
After he finished speaking, he wondered again: "It is logical that another elder should be sent to the scene. Why hasn't he come yet? Could it be that Langfeng City isn't recruiting new disciples this time?"
Just as they were talking, two Langfeng City disciples carried an instrument half a person's height onto the stage.
Meng Changqing exclaimed: "That is the latest ninth-generation root bone tester produced by Wanfa Pavilion!"
Feng Ci: "Wanfa Pavilion?"
Meng Changqing's ignorance of Feng Ci is no surprise, and he explained: "Wanfa Pavilion is one of the old six sects, specializing in the art of Yanjia mechanism. Do you remember the flying boat we saw in Lingwu Mountain? It's them masterpiece."
Feng Ci has seen similar things in other worlds. This kind of thing made of machinery and powered by new energy can allow mortals to go to the sky and enter the earth, and teleport thousands of miles.
Much more convenient than Yujian flying.
After three thousand years, the technology of this world has developed so far.
Meng Changqing said: "It's a pity that the things in Wanfa Pavilion are too expensive to sell, and it takes an unknown amount of high-grade spirit stones to run it once, and ordinary people can't afford it. Our master has a second-generation tester, which the suzerain managed to get from a family. The second-hand goods collected by Xianmen cost more than half of the whole group’s savings.”
Feng Ci asked again: "So that thing can really detect root bones?"
Meng Changqing: "Of course."
"If someone deliberately hides their own strength, can it also detect it?"
"Hidden? Why hide?" Meng Changqing was puzzled, and said again, "I heard that in the previous selection of the Immortal Alliance, some people took medicine to temporarily improve the root bone and cheated in the test. So, the tester started from the fifth generation The polygraph function has been deliberately added, no matter whether it is deliberately enhanced or hidden, it should not be concealed."
"'You may be able to deceive people, but you must not be able to deceive instruments', that's what Yu Chichu, the master of Wanfa Pavilion, said."
Feng Ci said "Oh" and nodded approvingly: "It's very interesting."
***
There is a hemispherical device above the root bone tester, and spiritual power can be injected into it to test the potential of its root bone.
After the root bone reaches the standard, it is up to the elders to choose whether to accept this disciple.
On the white jade high platform, the deacon disciple in charge of the assessment briefly explained the rules, and then began to roll the roll. The disciples to be assessed went forward to accept the test one by one, until the number of testers exceeded half, the elders in charge of the assessment in Langfeng City still did not show up.
"Langfeng City won't really not accept new disciples this time, will it?!"
"Then what should I do, I'm here just for Langfeng City!"
"Patriarch Qianqiu bless me, don't be picked to go to the Valley of Witch Doctors, I don't want to go to Southern Border to feed bugs."
"Patriarch Qianqiu, don't want Zizhuwu, don't want Zizhuwu..."
Feng Ci listened to the whispered prayers around her, and felt unable to put it into words.
Your Qianqiu Patriarch himself is standing next to you, he himself doesn't know where he can be assigned, don't read it.
a moment later...
"Next, Lu Jingming!"
Feng Ci almost didn't react, it was Meng Changqing who pushed him, and he remembered that this was the name of his current physical body.
As soon as the name came out, there was another discussion in the audience.
The six examinations and the six checkpoints have always been the way to eliminate most of the new disciples, and the difficulties and dangers involved can be imagined. But Lu Jingming and Meng Changqing, the city lord made an exception and allowed them to pass the six-door assessment, but did not announce the reason, so some people were naturally not convinced.
They didn't dare to question the decision of the city lord, so they could only vent their grievances on the two of them.
Feng Ci came to the stage amidst the doubts.
The deacon disciples greeted him.
It was the first time for him to pass the six examinations and directly enter the root examination. He had long been curious about what kind of character this Lu Jingming was. But when I saw it today, I was a little disappointed.
He looks pretty good, but no matter how you look at it... he's just an ordinary boy.
When he came on stage, he even yawned.
So lazy, how did the city lord fancy him
"... Junior Brother Lu, please."
The deacon disciple moved aside, and just as Feng Ci was about to step forward, he heard a loud cry.
"The city lord is here!"
The discussions around stopped abruptly, and Pei Qianyue slowly approached from behind the crowd.
Pei Qianyue has never been with anyone around him, just like he was in Lingwu Mountain that night, he just came here alone, with a chilly demeanor that made others unconsciously avoid him.
Feng Ci's eyes fell on that figure, and the other party seemed to feel something, and raised his head slightly.
Pei Qianyue was indeed beautiful, and the contours of his facial features appeared deeper and clearer in the morning sunlight. It is said that the world's spirits are best at deceiving people's hearts with their beauty. Feng Ci has seen countless people over the years, but few people can compare to this person in front of him.
Even the cold temperament around him added color to this beauty.
Pei Qianyue walked closer, then turned around and climbed the stone steps.
He was still covered with black silk in front of his eyes, and he was wearing a black robe trimmed with gold trim, the hem of which swept across the stone steps as he walked.
He walked slowly, but steadily.
It seemed that the occlusion of his eyes did not affect his vision.
Discussions started again in the audience, they were all discussing why the city lord came in person, and whether there was Yun Yun, his favorite disciple on the field.
Feng Ci was thinking about another thing.
— What happened to his eyes
His little black snake obviously has a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Lu?" The deacon disciple beside him called him, "It's time to start."
Pei Qianyue had already taken his seat on the high platform, Feng Ci came back to his senses and said hello.
He went to the instrument.
With Meng Changqing's introduction just now, Feng Ci is very interested in this instrument now, he looked left and right, then pointed to the red mark on the dashboard and asked: "Is it possible to enter the fairy alliance as long as you reach that red line?" ?”
The deacon disciple was impatient with him, and said: "That's right, you—"
Before he finished speaking, Feng Ci gently placed his hand on the instrument.
Inject spiritual energy.
On the dashboard, the pointer trembled and began to swing wildly from side to side.
The expressions of the deacon disciples suddenly changed.
The pointer has already swayed out of the afterimage, and the deacon disciple is staring at the dashboard. If he looks up at Feng Ci, he will find that the boy who was originally lazy is now more serious than ever.
After a long time, the pointer finally stopped slowly.
Unbiased, it stopped right in the middle of the red mark.
Feng Ci let go of his hand and let out a light sigh of relief.
It's not as difficult as he imagined.
What are you bragging about.
"This...you..."
People's root potential is born, and the tester just converts this potential into an intuitive value, which is as much as it should be, and there is no reason to swing left and right.
This kind of situation is unheard of, and the deacon disciples don't know what to do.
"He cheated!"
A voice suddenly sounded from the audience, and a stone caused a thousand waves.
"I've never seen a tester behave like this before, he must have tampered with it!"
"That's right, I just felt that something was wrong with him watching for so long!"
"He must have cheated!"
…
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but Feng Ci didn't care, and faced the eyes of the deacon's disciples, he spread his hands innocently: "I didn't cheat, didn't I say that this thing has a lie detection function?"
"this… "
The deacon disciple hesitated to speak, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, someone patted him on the shoulder: "Let me see."
The person who came was a little old man, whose stature was not much different from that of Feng Ci's young man, with gray and thinning hair tied chaotically behind his head. But his right hand protruding from his sleeve was obviously made of wood.
This person wears a half piece of glass glasses, behind the thick lens is a pale eyeball.
— obviously fake too.
The deacon disciple saluted him: "Yes, Pavilion Master."
Oh, this is the maker of that tester.
The disciple pulled Feng Ci away, only then did Feng Ci notice that under the hem of the other party's clothes, there were actually a pair of wooden prosthetic legs.
But he walked steadily, his steps were windy, and there was nothing unusual about him.
Yuchichu circled the tester twice, knocking here and there, and kept muttering: "Hey, there's nothing wrong..."
"Pavilion Master Yuchi, what's the matter, your wooden lump broke after just one use?" Someone teased at the seat of the elders of the six sects.
Yu Chichu yelled: "Get out! It's not broken, this is... this is..."
The tester is in good condition and there is no error, but the abnormality just now is not fake, unless...someone has fooled his instrument.
Yuchi raised his head at the beginning, and his eyes fell on Feng Ci.
But there is no evidence.
The fact is that there is no fault in the tester, and no fraud was found, which proves that Feng Ci's results are true and effective.
Yuchichu strode forward and grabbed Feng Ci's arm: "You, come back to Wanfa Pavilion with me."
Feng Ci: "..."
Not only was he dumbfounded, but the audience was also in an uproar.
Isn't it... cheating? Why are you suddenly accepting disciples again? ?
This is Wanfa Pavilion, which has failed to receive suitable new disciples in several sessions of Xianmeng selection, and even because there are no successors, it is mandatory to send middle elders to practice the art of maintaining beauty and longevity!
Feng Ci didn't answer for a long time, Yu Chi frowned: "Why, you already have a fairy gate you want to go to? Is there anything in the whole cultivation world that can compare to Wanfa Pavilion?"
What he said was arrogant, but it was not without reason.
In terms of cultivation and Taoism, Wanfa Pavilion may not be the top, but they have mastered the most advanced technology in the current cultivation world. This alone is enough for Wanfa Pavilion to stand firm in the cultivation world.
Feng Ci looked forward, and the figure in the black robe reflected in his eyes: "Disciple wants to enter Langfeng City."
On the high platform, Pei Qianyue sat upright, with a cold expression on his face: "Why?"
Feng Ci opened his mouth and said, "I have admired the city lord for many years, and I only want to be with the city lord all my life, and hope that the city lord will be successful."
"Can admiration be eaten?" Yu Chichu couldn't help scolding him, "What's so good about Langfeng City? It will teach students how to practice swords all day long. I guarantee that you will regret it in three days. Come to our Wanfa Pavilion and I will teach you Mechanism, teaching you how to make armor and fly into the sea, isn't it better than your sword control?"
"Besides, your bone can only be regarded as barely passing. He doesn't even want you, so why bother asking for it—"
Pei Qianyue said softly, "Okay."
Yuchi opened his mouth at the beginning, but all the words he didn't finish were blocked in his throat.
Feng Ci was also a little surprised.
With Feng Ci's ability, it's not difficult for him to meet Pei Qianyue. I came to participate in the Xianmeng selection, but I just wanted to find a more logical reason, and by the way, to amuse this group of juniors.
Even if he didn't stay in the end, it didn't hurt.
I didn't expect Pei Qianyue to be so easy to talk to.
It is said that the first seat of Xianmeng is the most unreasonable, but now it seems that this is not the case.
So cute, I didn't raise her in vain before.
Feng Ci thought so, but heard Pei Qianyue finish the rest of the words calmly: "There is still a lack of a handyman in the outer door. You are so ordinary, if you want to stay, go to the outer door to sweep the floor."
Feng Ci: "?"
… where to
