The only way

Chapter 102 Nine Lotus Test

After successfully establishing the foundation, after returning to the Green Bamboo Courtyard, Lingchu spent the first month in retreat. On the one hand, it was to stabilize his cultivation, and on the other hand, he was also familiar with the Glazed Green Lotus Fire.

A month later, the eight new disciples of Wakoin, as well as Jiang Hanyan, gathered together to congratulate the three of Lingchu. Instead of going to the first floor, this time they were in the green bamboo courtyard of Lingchu. The jug of bamboo marrow and jade wine was given to Yun Haotian and Senior Sister Mingyue each as a congratulatory gift, and the remaining jug was poured out for everyone.

Lingchu also received many congratulatory gifts.

Senior Sister Mingyue’s Dingyan Pill, Yun Haotian’s Thunder Calling Talisman, Jiang Hanyan’s magical weapon Biye earrings, Fish Xiaoxiao’s top-grade food material Liu Jinji, Wu Yun’s string of copper coins, Situ Yang’s box of low-grade spirit stones, Luo Yu Yu's tail feather from a green luan, and Shen Wenzhou's Hun Tianlei.

After the party, two more people built the foundation, but one succeeded and the other failed.

The one who succeeded was Situ Yang, the one who failed was Shen Wenzhou.

After the failure, Lingchu heard that Shen Wenzhou did not immediately try to build the foundation again, but chose to go out to the mountain gate for a tour.

Jiang Hanyan also returned to Jiang's house, preparing to build a foundation, but if he didn't build a foundation, he wouldn't go back to the mountain gate.

The three of Lingchu are also ready to participate in the assessment in Neishan.

Nine lotus try.

The eight new disciples of Heguangyuan, plus Jiang Hanyan, nine of them, scattered in all directions in the sixth year of entry.

This is not the first parting that Lingchu has experienced, nor will it be the last.

Uchiyama, you don't just enter if you want to.

Every year, Neishan will open the Nine Lotus Trials. Anyone who has reached the Foundation Establishment and is under forty years old can sign up to participate.

Nine lotus test, three lotus blossoms, you can enter the inner mountain, six lotus blossoms, you can enjoy the treatment of elite disciples for ten years, have the qualification to challenge elite disciples once, open nine lotus blossoms, you can enjoy the treatment of true disciples for ten years, have one Challenge the qualifications of true disciples.

In the Inner Mountain, disciples are also divided into grades. However, although the Inner Mountain also divides the disciples according to the peak, the grade of the disciples is not determined by the mountain where they are located.

No matter which mountain you are in, or which elder's disciple you are, the disciples graded by the Neishan sect are ordinary Neishan disciples, elite disciples, and true disciples.

These levels are determined by the Zongmen, and the annual offerings and resources are provided by the Zongmen.

The elder's disciples are generally called personal disciples, or disciples. These disciples are personal disciples and disciples to the elders and the mountain where the elders are located, but to the sect, they should be ordinary disciples. , or an ordinary disciple, should it be an elite disciple, or an elite disciple.

The elder's direct disciples are given by the elder's own mountain, while the ordinary disciples, elite disciples and true disciples of the sect are provided by the sect. This is the biggest difference.

Of course, if you are both the true disciple of the sect and the direct disciple of the elder, you can receive both the sect's supply and the elder's share.

The share is different between different peaks. After all, in Neishan, as long as the cultivation level has reached the Golden Core, you can open up a mountain alone, which also means that you can accept apprentices in the sect after you become a master.

Therefore, some mountain peaks are guarded by Zhenjun Yuanying, and some mountain peaks are guarded by Daoist Jindan, and the resources between the peaks will naturally be different.

At the same time, it is also possible that the number of disciples recruited is different. They may be the same Elder Yuanying, one accepts a dozen or twenty disciples, and the other only accepts one disciple. The resources that can be obtained between the disciples are naturally the same. There is a lot of difference.

All in all, the treatment varies from peak to peak.

Therefore, according to the popularity of each peak in the inner mountain, there is also a ranking list within the sect. By the way, there is also a big secret report in the inner mountain. The founder of Mibao is a disciple of Uchiyama.

Closer to home, none of this has much to do with Lingchu for the time being. At present, what Lingchu is facing is the Nine Lotus Trial.

There are nine tests in the Nine Lotus Trial, and after passing one test, a golden lotus will bloom.

Three lotus blossoms are the standard line for entering the inner mountain.

Nine lotus test, the first three tests are actually not difficult.

They are bone age, cultivation level, and foundation.

What is the foundation, in fact, is the three hundred questions about the basic knowledge of cultivating immortals, involving alchemy and talisman formations, natural materials and earth treasures, monsters and spiritual objects, and even tens of thousands of years of history in the cultivation world.

The third test of the Jiulian test is this test. Three hundred questions are randomly asked, and if you answer 250 questions correctly, you will pass.

Many disciples who usually only focus on cultivation and often skip class to give lectures by the elders have fallen in this test.

Therefore, every year before the opening of the Nine Lotus Trials, there will be an atmosphere of learning, and it is also the busiest month of the year in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in Outer Mountain. This month, the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion is overcrowded.

For example, Yun Haotian.

And for the disciples who read all the classics and did not fail every class, it is an extremely simple assessment. They even feel that it is too lenient to allow [-] mistakes.

Like Lingchu, like Senior Sister Zhantai Mingyue.

At the same time, there was also a wave of jade slips selling questions about the third test of the Nine Lotus Test over the years.

Even Lingchu bought a copy, for the sake of peace of mind, and to see how good he is. As a result, after reading it, he found that almost [-]% of the questions Lingchu could answer fluently, and the remaining [-]% were a little uncomfortable. Sure, very few don't.

The questions asked by Zongmen are not unpopular, they are indeed basic knowledge that disciples should know.

The first three trials of Jiulian are not difficult, but rare, it is the next few trials.

The fourth test, perseverance.

The fifth test is to ask the heart.

The sixth test, fighting.

The seventh test, luck.

As for the final eighth and ninth trials, no information has been revealed yet. The reasons are, firstly, not many disciples entered the eighth and ninth trials. The disciples who got to the eighth test and the ninth test, after they came out, all looked very secretive, as if there was something not to be seen in the last two tests, or some big secret.

In Neishan, ordinary disciples are the most, and some disciples, even their whole life, are just ordinary disciples.

The second is elite disciples, elite disciples, the sect only gives one hundred places, that is to say, if you want to become an elite disciple, you need to pick an elite disciple to become an elite disciple.

Finally, there are the true disciples, the true disciples of the Sanqing Dao Sect, there are only ten, no more, no less.

It's still a challenge, but there is one more prerequisite for the true disciples. They must have a golden core cultivation base and form a golden core before the age of one hundred to become a true disciple.

Of course, the more precious it is, the more benefits it has.

Needless to say, the annual supply of pills, spirit stones, etc., is incomparable in quantity and quality. Another example is the Neishan Cangjing Pavilion, a Dharma door, which is the same price for ordinary disciples, the same price for elite disciples, and the same price for true disciples. , that is another price.

There are many other benefits, too many to mention, and it is not clear.

Being able to pass the Nine Lotus Examination, the ten-year elite treatment of the Sixth Lotus, and the ten-year True Inheritance treatment of the Nine Lotus, this opportunity is only available in the Nine Lotus Examination when entering Neishan, and there is no chance to take the Nine Lotus Examination after that.

Therefore, Lingchu and the others put in all their strength and prepared to take part in this Nine Lotus Trial.
