Chapter 161 The original lantern of life

Upon hearing the name Ancestor Tianyi, everyone showed admiration and envy on their faces.

Xiao Lin is no exception. The Nascent Soul stage is a state that they can't even imagine. Xiao Lin knows that the lifespan of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can exceed a thousand years.

What kind of existence is a thousand years? It is enough time for a mortal to reproduce for dozens of generations. Even if it is placed in Dancao Mountain, even if everyone in the sect has died several times, maybe this Tianyi ancestor is still alive as an old god.

When talking about Patriarch Tianyi, the fat-faced monk was also full of admiration. Although he was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, he didn't even dare to think about the Nascent Soul stage.

There are approximately more than 10,000 cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage in Dancao Mountain, and among them, less than 10% can eventually enter the foundation building, which is a few hundred people.

Among the hundreds of cultivators in the foundation building stage, only a few were able to condense the golden elixir in the end. This probability is several times more difficult than building the foundation. You must know that there are currently thirteen golden elixir ancestors in Dancao Mountain. That one stood out from several groups of cultivators in the foundation-building period.

It can be seen that as the realm improves, the probability of difficulty in breaking through the bottleneck of a large realm will increase geometrically.

Otherwise, in the past thousand years, there would not have been only one Nascent Soul Ancestor in the entire Dancao Mountain.

"Well, let alone you, even Master Uncle I don't dare to think about the Nascent Soul stage. Unless you have Tianling roots to enter the Nascent Soul stage, you can't just rely on hard work to cultivate. You also need to have a great talent. It’s about chance.”

"You only need to know the name of our ancestor Tianyi from Dancao Mountain. Even Qu, in the thirty years since he joined the sect, he has never seen his ancestor Tianyi."

"In addition, the other eight peaks of our Dancao Mountain are respectively the Qingzhu, Ziye, Hongluan, Jinxia, ​​Qijue, Cuishui, Qinghuo and Yingyuan peaks.

"And at the top of these eight peaks, there are eight golden elixir ancestors from our Dancao Mountain. I think you are also very surprised. Don't we have thirteen golden elixir ancestors in our Dancao Mountain? How does it sound like there are only eight? ,it's actually really easy."

"Two of the thirteen Jindan Patriarchs have been accompanying Patriarch Tianyi all year round and are responsible for waiting for dispatch. The other three are guarding our Dancao Mountain Cuixia Palace. If the leader, Changqing Zhenren, is unable to Decisions will be made after discussion among the three ancestors."

Xiao Lin and the others below listened with fascination. These people are the high-end combat power of Dancao Mountain, and they are also the root of the sect, and they are also the top part of the pyramid of cultivators in the Tianlu Mountains.

Everyone was filled with longing and reverie.

Xiao Lin's heart was beating a little faster than usual. He deliberately passed the cave trial and got the Grand Order to worship in Dancao Mountain for what purpose? Isn't it just to be able to build the foundation and become a true cultivator?

Not to mention the Tianyi ancestors and the thirteen Jindan ancestors in Dancao Mountain, just the monk named Qu in front of them is the goal of Xiao Lin and others, although Xiao Lin knows that the realm of the monk named Qu is to build. The base stage, but what level it was in the foundation building stage, he couldn't sense at all.

Facing the monk surnamed Qu, Xiao Lin and others could not even think of using their spiritual sense to probe. In the world of cultivation, it is extremely impolite for low-level monks to use their spiritual sense to probe high-level monks. Said it was a provocation.

Normally, those who use their spiritual sense to detect others are only able to do so if they are high-level monks versus low-level monks, or if they are in the same big realm but are one or two small realms apart.

"Okay, Dancao Mountain is ahead. I will take you to the "Freshness Hall" first. Once you get there, Qu's mission will be completed. After entering the "Freshness Hall", people from the sect will receive you. You arrange accommodation.”

Soon, Xiao Lin and others rode the spirit boat and arrived in front of several huge mountain peaks. They had not noticed it before from a distance, but now when they looked up close, they found that the Qingdan Mountain in the middle was so huge that the clouds were just exposed. Part of it is probably hundreds of feet high.

Moreover, the top of the mountain is actually covered with white snow. Under the reflection of the golden sun, it emits colorful rays of light. It is really like a fairyland and beautiful.

Xiao Lin made a rough estimate and found that the area covered by these peaks was at least a hundred miles in radius. However, the two monks surnamed Qu commanded the spirit boat and did not give them the opportunity to observe Qingdan Peak at close range.

But when he was still dozens of miles away from those mountain peaks, he pressed the spirit boat, passed through the clouds, and came to a fairyland where strange flowers and plants grew.

Xiao Lin and others crowded to the side of Zhouxian, staring at the scenery in front of them with surprise.

There are rows of quaint wooden houses standing on the nine peaks of Dancao Mountain near the foot of the mountain. They are well-proportioned and give everyone the feeling that the construction of these wooden houses also implies some truth between heaven and earth.

There are many small palaces standing halfway up each mountain peak. Although Xiao Lin and others don't know who lives in these small palaces, they think that ordinary outer disciples in the Qi Refining Period must not be there. Qualified to live there.

Soon, Xiao Lin and the others were able to see many figures below. What made Xiao Lin strange was that the figures hurriedly coming and going between the mountains were all like secular warriors, walking on the leaves and just looking at them accidentally. Several thick rays of light flew across the sky.

As the spirit boat circled around to the front of Qingdan Mountain, Xiao Lin and others saw that at the foot of Qingdan Mountain, a square with a size of a hundred feet was built out of snow-white boulders, and near the square, the mountain peak Three palaces were built on one side and two sides.

These palaces are all made of bluestone, and the stone skin on the surface is also mottled, revealing a strong sense of vicissitudes of life.

The two monks surnamed Qu rode the spirit boat and landed on the square. At this time, Xiao Lin and others also saw that on the palace on the left side of the square, there were three ancient seal characters ""Qingxin Palace"" written on it. , and on the right is the "Cangzhen Hall", and the most magnificent and magnificent hall on the front is the "Gongde Hall".

After the spirit boat landed, there were already two forty-year-old Qi Refining Stage outer disciples standing on one side of the square, seemingly waiting for everyone.

After Xiao Lin and others jumped off the spirit boat one after another, the monk surnamed Cao accepted the spirit boat, and the two outer disciples in the Qi refining period also came up. They first saluted the two monks surnamed Cao and shouted, " Uncle Master".

The fat-faced monk waved his hand and said only one sentence: "These are the disciples who have obtained the Dao Order and joined the sect during this underground trial. I leave it to you."

After saying that, he and the monk surnamed Cao left in a hurry.

After watching the two people leave, one of the two outer disciples in the Qi Refining Period, a monk with a thick beard, looked around Xiao Lin and others, and then said: "I am the outer disciple responsible for receiving you this time. Steward, my surname is Lu, you can call me Steward Lu.”

"Later, I will take you to the "Freshness Hall". The "Freshness Hall" is mainly for handling some related procedures for joining the sect. It will also answer some common sense you need to know for joining the sect. Now you can line up and follow me. ”

After saying that, the two of them took the lead and walked towards the "Freshness Hall". Xiao Lin and others saw that many people were entering and leaving the Merit Hall on the square, but very few people were entering and exiting the Cangzhen Hall. They looked around curiously. At the same time, they lined up and followed the two reception stewards towards the "Freshness Hall".

After entering the "Freshness Hall", I found that the entire hall was very empty. There were two rows of twelve gray-white stone pillars on both sides. At the innermost part of the hall, there were three counters. Behind these three counters, there was a person sitting on each side. Monk.

The two stewards led everyone to the steward in the middle.

The monk behind the counter obviously knew that disciples would come to handle the procedures today, and he had already placed a roster on the counter.

He glanced at everyone and then said, "I'll roll your name now."

Then the man started to take the roster and read out the names one by one. After half an hour, after the names were called, the man nodded and closed the roster.

"Although you are already the outer disciples of our Dancao Mountain, in the three months before joining the sect, our sect will verify your origins. If you have irregular origins or are related to some of the sect's blacklist records, If you are involved in evil deeds, not only will your qualifications for joining the sect be revoked, but you will also be severely punished.”

After a pause, the man continued: "After joining the sect, you will be regarded as the outer disciples of our Dancao Mountain. According to the rules, you must leave your natal lantern in the sect, but you don't have to worry, this natal lantern will It won’t have any impact on you.”

"Everyone only needs to input a trace of spiritual consciousness into the natal lantern. The main purpose is to allow the sect to know your life and death. This natal lantern will not have any restrictions on you. It is different from the control monks like the natal lantern. The art of restraint between life and death is very different."

"Okay, now everyone lines up and goes to the left to light the natal lanterns one by one."

Xiao Lin is still very confident about his origins. Three generations of his ancestors were all honest hunters. They can be said to be young and upright. Naturally, he is not worried about the sect's verification, but he is a little bit worried about his destiny.

However, when he saw many other people with indifferent expressions on their faces, he gradually let go of his worries. He knew when he was wandering around the fairy city that once a sect disciple was killed, the sect would immediately know about it. of.

Although avenging him is another story, having some control over the life and death of the disciples of the sect is a very basic thing for the sect. I think this natal lantern plays a similar role.

Soon it was Xiao Lin's turn. The monk behind the counter took out a small, inch-long copper lamp, and then looked at Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin immediately radiated his spiritual consciousness, condensed it into a thread, and shot it into the wick of the copper lamp. above.

The wick of the copper lamp suddenly "popped" and lit up a ball of light blue spiritual flame. Although the spiritual flame was weak, only the size of the tip of the ring finger, it looked as stable as a mountain and was not affected by the airflow at all. It looks quite magical.

When the monk behind the counter saw the spiritual flames ignited, he put the copper lamps into a row of cabinets behind him expressionlessly, and then waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Lin could leave.

After everyone ignited their natal spiritual flames, the steward who brought them here said: "Okay, the sect will send people to conduct the subsequent verification automatically. If there are no problems, we will not notify you. Now, just I’ll go to Zangzhen Palace.”
