Chapter 1265: Entrance Examination

The inner disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect are divided into ordinary inner disciples and inner core disciples. The difference between the two is even greater than the gap between the outer disciples and the inner disciples.

If the resources for cultivating immortality that ordinary disciples of the inner sect can obtain are more than ten times that of the disciples of the outer sect, then the resources for cultivating immortality that the core disciples of the inner sect can obtain are definitely more than a hundred times that of ordinary disciples of the inner sect.

It can be said that the core disciples of the inner sect are the core of the Immortal Sword Sect, and they are also the focus of the sect's training. As long as they become the core disciples of the inner sect, condensing the Nascent Soul is almost a sure thing, attacking the gods, and advancing to the void refining, there are also Very high probability.

This is why every year, the recruitment of inner disciples will attract the participation of a large number of low-level monks who have condensed their swordsmanship. Of course, in order to prevent some middle-level and high-level monks from sneaking into the Immortal Sword Sect and defrauding resources, there are also threshold restrictions for candidates, that is, the realm must be Below the Golden Core stage, the bone age must not exceed thirty years.

Of course, these problems are not difficult for Xiao Lin. When he reaches the Void Refining Realm, he can completely fake his own bone age and become any age group at will.

And in order to allow Bai Xingge to join the Immortal Sword Sect, Xiao Lin even used the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique to forcibly reverse Bai Xingge's bone age. At this moment, unless the ancestor of Dujie personally inspects the two of them, it will definitely not be discovered. .

After all, for most monks in the Void Refining Stage, although the Immortal Sword Sect is powerful, there is no need to switch to other sects.

Even so, in order to prevent some high-level monks from sneaking into the Immortal Sword Sect, it is necessary to check the spiritual consciousness and mana realm of the immortal cultivators before recruiting them to eliminate this hidden danger.

Xiao Lin has already considered these things very carefully. In short, the three Tribulation Ancestors of the Immortal Sword Sect will not be able to discover the true realm of the two of them unless they take action.

The second test item used by the Immortal Sword Sect to select inner disciples is to examine the spiritual root qualifications of the test takers.

At this point, Xiao Lin can also use the Tian Mending Sutra to virtualize the immortal roots, return to nature, and turn them into spiritual roots. Of course, it is not really converted into spiritual roots, but an illusion.

So Xiao Lin is not worried about this.

The third item is to test the participants' understanding of the various arts of cultivating immortals. This is purely the threshold set by the Immortal Sword Sect.

Every time an inner sect disciple is recruited, the number of people who come to participate is an astronomical number. However, no matter how wide the Immortal Sword Sect is and how many resources it has for cultivating immortals, there is always a limit, so it is necessary to control the sect disciples.

And the purpose of this third assessment is exactly this.

After all, the realm of sword intention and spiritual root qualifications cannot be flexibly changed, but this third item, the assessment of the skills of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts, is the most important point.

Xiao Lin was already prepared for this.

Along the way, Xiao Lin and Luffy's chat also gave him a general understanding of the origins of the brother and sister.

It turned out that both of them were from a large clan of cultivators of immortality, and there were even senior members of the clan who had lived in the Void Refining Stage. However, over the past few hundred years, their family fortunes had fallen into decline. Not only had several of the best immortal cultivating classics collected within the clan been lost, but they had also lost their way to the road. Fei's generation is even more depleted of talents. The strongest one in the clan is just a great monk, and he will be dead in another two to three hundred years.

It wasn't until the birth of Luffy's sister that they gave their family hope. Lu Cai'er not only had the qualifications of the Earth Spiritual Root, but when she was thirteen years old, she actually condensed it by chance in the Twelve Sword Tombs. The sword intention, and also the transformed sword intention, really made everyone in the Lu family overjoyed. They almost spent all their resources to buy spiritual pills. In just seven years, they advanced from the third level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Not only that, Lu Cai'er also showed amazing talent in making talismans at a young age. She was able to refine elementary talismans at the age of fifteen, and now she is able to refine elementary fusion talismans. She also has a mastery of talismans. He has practiced primary fire spells to the level of Dzogchen.

Therefore, after some family discussions, they decided to send Lu Cai'er to join the Immortal Sword Sect. As long as they can successfully join the Immortal Sword Sect, within a few hundred years, the strength of their Lu family will be greatly improved, and their strength will be greatly improved. Reversing the current embarrassing situation.

Therefore, the two of them traveled from a remote town millions of miles away and traveled for many years before arriving at Jianyuan Mountain.

Fortunately, the two arrived in time and did not miss this trial.

Soon, the four of them arrived in front of Wenjian Peak. When they actually stood in front of Wenjian Peak, the four of them felt the majesty of this mountain peak. At the same time, bursts of cold air emitted from the mountain's Jianfeng Peak, just like the sharp The sword energy is average.

Even though they are miles apart, the feeling is still obvious.

Xiao Lin glanced at the couplet on Wenjian Peak in surprise. This sharp sword energy came from that couplet. Moreover, the couplet was a thousand feet long, and each word was more than a hundred feet long. .

Moreover, Xiao Lin judged that this couplet was clearly written by someone who penetrated the mountain with supreme sword energy. This person's realm cultivation and understanding of swordsmanship have both reached the pinnacle. Even Xiao Lin sighed to himself. like.

In front of Wenjian Peak, there were already crowds of people. There was no telling how many people had gathered within a few hundred miles, and these people were all immortal cultivators who had condensed their sword intent. Xiao Lin made a rough estimate, at least there were a few. More than 100,000 people.

The number of disciples recruited every three years from the inner sect of the Immortal Sword Sect is only a thousand. Calculated, the probability of successfully joining the inner sect of the Immortal Sword Sect is about one percent.

You must know that those who come here to participate in the inner sect trial are all monks who have condensed their sword intent. They are all one-in-one beings in a hundred or even a thousand miles. Therefore, combined with the two factors, the low probability is outrageous.

This reminded Xiao Lin of the cave trial back then, which was also extremely cruel. Every step of the Immortal Road was full of thorns.

The so-called "one general's success can lead to ten thousand bones drying up" is a good reflection of the path of cultivating immortality. For those who are cultivating immortals, if they are not careful, they will become one of those ten thousand bones.

Although there were many people gathered in front of Wenjian Peak, the silence was eerie. Even Luffy, a Jiraiya, closed his mouth and showed a bit of nervousness in his eyes.

Lu Cai'er on the side was even sweating on the tip of her nose. As the hope of her family, she was naturally more optimistic about this trial. Once she failed, she couldn't even imagine the complaints or even abuse she would suffer.

On the contrary, Bai Xingge next to Xiao Lin looked calm. Not only his eyes, but also his expression looked indifferent, which made Xiao Lin shake his head secretly.

Lord Bai Zun, who was in the mortal world at that time, had already entered the realm of swordsmanship, and he was born for the sword. It can be said that the Immortal Sword Sect is really suitable for this great swordsman.

If he hadn't suffered trauma during his ascension and lost his memory, his current level of swordsmanship would probably have surpassed his own.

In his opinion, sending Bai Xingge to the Immortal Sword Sect was definitely an opportunity for the Immortal Sword Sect.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, because he also knew that Bai Xingge's talent would certainly make him stand out among the Immortal Sword Sect, but at the same time it would definitely bring him a lot of trouble, but these are all other things. What happens after the memory is restored.

Everyone waited quietly from noon to dusk.

Until one night has passed...

The next day, it was just dawn, and the rising sun had not yet peeked out due to being blocked by the mountain peaks. There was already a loud noise in front of Wenjian Peak.

It turned out that at some point, several figures appeared on the bridge on the mountainside of Wenjian Peak.

The leader was an old man in his fifties, with a kind face and a simple sword on his back. His gray hair looked a bit messy, but his face was as rosy and shiny as that of a newborn baby.

Next to him, there is a young man of about thirty years old, with sharp eyes and a domineering aura. He also carries a sword behind him, and he is looking at the people below awkwardly, with a flash of light in his eyes. Contempt.

Behind the old man, there were two boys, a boy and a girl, both of whom looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. Each was holding a sword. You could vaguely see the auras emerging from the sword.

"Spiritual treasures?" Xiao Lin could tell at a glance that the swords held by the two sword-wielding boys were both spiritual treasures, and they were also mid-level spiritual treasures.

Not only these four people, Xiao Lin also noticed that two groups of people also appeared at the foot of the two peaks of Wenjian Peak, setting up two trial and test points. In the center of Wenjian Peak, there was a person with a face. In front of the cold young man is a gray-black rock about ten feet in size, with three words written on it [Sword Testing Rock].

Xiao Lin understood that the trial and selection of the inner disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect was about to begin.

"You have traveled thousands of miles to participate in the examination and trial for the inner disciples of our Immortal Sword Sect, which is enough to prove your firm determination to seek immortality."

At this time, the fifty-year-old man at the top of Wenjian Peak spoke.

He paused, looked at the moving heads below, and continued: "Since you have come to take part in the assessment, you should naturally know the items of the assessment. Those who want to participate in the assessment for joining the sect must first use their sword intention and test the sword. Iwagami struck a blow to verify the condensed sword intention and evaluate the level of the sword intention. After completing the first assessment, he entered the second one, testing the spiritual roots. All the disciples recruited by this sect are Only one person from ten thousand who has at least the Earth Spirit Root can enter the third test. If he can pass the third test, he can join our Immortal Sword Sect and become an inner disciple. "

After looking around, the old man continued: "As for the core disciples of the inner sect, you need to reach the state of transformation or above with sword intention, and obtain the first grade in the third assessment to be qualified. In addition, during the assessment, you need to Pay attention to the discipline on site. Anyone who disturbs the order and makes noise will be disqualified from the trial."

"I will announce that the assessment has begun."

As the old man finished speaking, he also announced the start of the trial. Many monks who participated in the trial for entering the sect went to the two disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect on the right to receive their number plates and register their names and origins.

A long line soon formed.

Xiao Lin also pulled Bai Xingge into the queue.

Those who received their license plates walked to the Sword Trial Rock and lined up in a long line.

The first person to receive his license plate came to the Sword Testing Rock. After the invigilating disciple of the Immortal Sword Shen Sect on the side signaled that it was time to start, he walked to the Sword Testing Rock slightly nervously, and then closed his eyes.

After a moment, a dull white light flashed between his eyebrows, and as the sword was swinging, a white sword shadow flashed away.

"Clang" a metallic sound sounded.

There is not even a trace on the Sword Testing Rock.

"Fake sword intention, the test failed." The invigilator glanced sideways at the sword test rock, and said calmly, his voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly in everyone's ears.

When the man heard that the trial failed, he couldn't help but sigh, and turned around and left secretly.

"Pseudo Sword Intent?" Xiao Lin was slightly startled when he heard the name. What did the pseudo Sword Intent mean? He was a little confused.

At this time, the second person also came to the sword test rock, pinched the sword technique, and a sharp aura gradually appeared on his body, and his body also exuded a dull white aura.

As he exhaled, a sword light flashed away.

"Qiang"

Xiao Lin clearly saw that the man's sword energy struck the sword test rock, sparks flying, but leaving no trace.

"False sword intention, the trial failed." The same voice came again.

"I see." After this observation, Xiao Lin finally understood that the reason why the first two people failed was because they did not really condense the sword intention.

The so-called sword intention is a kind of sword energy condensed by the combination of spirit and energy. What drives this sword energy is the idea of ​​the sword, so it is called sword intention. It is also called sword by many people in the world of immortality. Heart.

This leads to the fact that the so-called sword intention is actually somewhat illusory. The combination of primary divine energy can also condense the sword energy that exceeds the power of ordinary sword energy. However, this kind of sword energy is not a sword driven by sword intention in the true sense. gas.

This kind of sword energy is what the invigilator disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect called pseudo sword energy.

Speaking of which, the two people were not wronged. This sword test was a test of the sword's will. Unless traces could be left on it, it would not be considered the real sword's will.

The third person to participate in the trial is a young man in his twenties or eighties. He is slender and wearing a green robe. His neat facial features are somewhat distorted by a large black mole on the corner of his eyebrow. haze.

He came to the sword-testing rock, pinched the sword technique, and a fiery sword energy suddenly burst out from his body. A red aura began to flow out, and soon an orange-red sword energy appeared on his right hand. .

The sword energy gradually condensed and soon turned into an orange-red sword light.

The aura on his body also continued to rise. After a moment, it seemed to have reached the extreme. He shouted loudly and the orange-red sword light in his hand flashed away.

"Tsk" Wherever the sword light passed, a half-inch crack was cut out on the sword-testing rock. The crack only lasted for a moment and then disappeared without a trace.

This Sword Trial Rock actually has the ability to repair itself. It seems to be an immortal treasure.

"Preliminary Hundred Refinements, passed." The invigilator glanced at the test sword rock and said calmly.

The man's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise, he bowed to the invigilator, and then walked towards the test spiritual root.
