Cultivation of Immortals: Gou picks up magic weapons behind others' backs

Chapter 3 Climbing the Immortal Ladder

Xie Yaoshan took their half-grown children into the water curtain.

He stood on the steps, looked around, and stayed on Yu Qingge for a moment.

Afterwards, he said loudly, "Next is your sect's trial. Only those who pass the trial can become official disciples of Tian Cangzong."

"This trial is a test of your character. Those who are not strong, even if they enter the sect, it will be difficult to persevere on the road of cultivating immortals in the future."

"After the three passes, if anyone fails to pass, the Zongmen will send you back to the original place."

Then, he introduced the way of the trial: the trial is divided into three levels.

The first step is to ascend the fairy ladder. It is said that when the Mahayana venerable reaches perfection, the fairy world will lower the climbing ladder for the practitioners to ascend.

On the climbing ladder, the cultivator will shed the spiritual energy of his whole body and ascend to the fairy world with a mortal body.

Of course, Tian Cangzong's climbing ladder is only an extremely weakened version. According to Xingyun's words, an 80-year-old grandfather can climb it.

The second hurdle is the heart demon hole. Cultivators will encounter countless heart demons along the way. Only those who have no regrets and retreat from the heart demons can practice Mahayana.

The third pass is the road of the wise. As the name suggests, it tests the ingenuity of the disciples.

On the journey of cultivation, there are thousands of difficulties and obstacles. If you don't have a bit of intelligence, you may fail early.

Xingyun snorted disdainfully in Yu Qingge's sea of ​​knowledge, "The wise man's road, to put it nicely, the one buried on that road is a soil spirit."

"When you idiots have passed the first two levels and there are not many people left, he will ask you some simple arithmetic problems to let you pass quickly."

Yu Qingge couldn't help asking: "Then what if we have many people?"

"Then he can't help it. He is an earth spirit. Earth spirits are notoriously stupid. They can only add and subtract within ten."

"But some of you are even more stupid, you can't even add and subtract within ten."

Yu Qingge let out an "oh", stopped talking, and began to concentrate on preparations.

Xing Yun crossed his legs and looked at Yu Qingge's sea of ​​consciousness, tsk, this girl's sea of ​​consciousness is so big, she must be quite smart.

But it's not necessarily true, that Daoist Canghai has a big sea of ​​consciousness, and his mind is in a mess.

This girl doesn't speak, maybe she is afraid?

He coughed, and managed to squeeze out a consolation, "The third level is irrelevant, as long as you pass the first two levels, Tian Cangzong will accept you."

"The group of Tian Cangzong place more emphasis on cultivating sincerity, and they don't pay much attention to things like intelligence."

Yu Qingge wasn't worried about the third level, she focused on Yu Huanhuan.

Ever since they offended Gong Linyao on the flying boat, most of the people stayed away from her as if watching her words.

After all, Gong Linyao looked like someone she couldn't afford to offend.

Although the rest of the people were not afraid of Gong Linyao, they would not approach her either.

Because Yu Qingge is only a four-spirit root, even if he passes the trial, he can only be an outer disciple at most.

Yu Huanhuan has dual spiritual roots of water and soil, and the purity of the spiritual root is good. After passing the trial, it is very possible to enter the inner sect.

Therefore, some people secretly persuaded Yu Huanhuan to keep her away from Yu Qingge.

But Yu Huanhuan said, she and Qing Ge grew up together since they were young, so would it be different if they entered the world of comprehension?
At this time, Yu Huanhuan came over and shared the news she had inquired with Yu Qingge.

"I heard that among the three levels, only the first level is the most important, because the second level does not have any inner demons for us children, and the third level is also very simple."

"However, there are nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in the first stage of climbing the fairy ladder. Every time one hundred steps pass, the pressure on the body will increase by one point. When it reaches the last 99 steps, it is like carrying a heavy weight on the body."

Yu Qingge secretly memorized what Yu Huanhuan said.

Soon, it will be time for them to prepare.

Xie Yaoshan came over and brought all of them to the entrance of the climbing ladder.

Yu Qingge looked up, only to see a piece of cloud and mist, among which the bluestone steps were faintly piercing into the cloud and mist.

With Xie Yaoshan's order, those who tried to worship Tian Cangzong rushed in, and Yu Qingge was among them.

When she was in Yujia Village, she often went up the mountain to collect herbs, and her feet were strong, so she walked over a hundred steps with ease, just like flat ground.

When she stepped on the one hundred and first step, her feet suddenly seemed to be nailed into stones. Although it was a bit heavier, she could bear it.

After stepping on the [-]st step, the weight of the stone on his feet suddenly increased by five times.

A girl who was more than three feet away from her turned over and fell down the steps because she couldn't bear the pressure on her feet.

Yu Qingge's heart stopped, and he hurried to look.

Xingyun told her not to worry, there is a formation on the ladder, even if she falls down the steps, she will never be injured.

Yu Qingge felt relieved.

She then turned her head to look at Yu Huanhuan.

Yu Huanhuan is not like himself, he has been going to the mountains to collect herbs to exercise his legs.

She couldn't hold on any longer at this moment, there were big drops of sweat on her forehead, her face was pale, her legs and feet were weak, and she was almost unable to stand still.

Yu Qingge helped her aside.

"Qing Ge," Yu Huanhuan said, "I'll rest here for a while before continuing to climb, you go first, don't wait for me."

Xie Yaoshan said that if you can't hold on during the trial, you can take a rest in place.

There is no time limit for the sect trials, as long as those who can pass can enter Tian Cangzong.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingge looked at the road ahead and said, "Okay."

Xingyun was amazed. During those years he walked in the world, he often saw little girls in twos and threes holding hands together.

If anyone takes a step first, the other person will be angry.

He thought Yu Qingge was here to accompany her little sister.

Yu Qingge stepped up a step and said softly, "Because I know she will definitely come up."

"And didn't you say that the Dao is lonely and the cultivation is long, everyone can only rely on themselves."

What's more, Yu Qingge knew that it was only because of her that Yu Huanhuan didn't ask other people for help.

Yu Huanhuan has good aptitude, and someone has been wooing her as early as on the flying boat. Those cultivators, like Gong Linyao, have many means on their bodies.

With their help, Yu Huanhuan will definitely be able to climb the fairy ladder.

Xing Yun was stunned, he muttered so much, he thought the little girl didn't remember, but she did.

"Okay, let's go." Xing Yun rubbed his nose, "I remember that many disciples of Tiancang Sect spent several years in this sect's trial, you don't want to stay here for a few years. Will be bored to death."

"understood."

Yu Qingge slowly walked up step by step. Every time she passed a hundred steps, the pressure on her body increased by five times. By the time of the six hundredth step, she was already unable to breathe under the pressure of the small stones.

Xing Yun urged her to sit down, "I wanted to let you go, but I didn't let you go so desperately."

"This fairy ladder is an excellent place for you to train your body. You can rest where you are, and wait until your body can withstand such a great pressure before moving on."

Yu Qingge sat down slowly, and there were many people around her who were resting in place like her.

There are also people who fell from higher stairs and rested here.

On the far left, there are even a few gray-haired old people.

Seeing Yu Qingge looking over, these old people couldn't help laughing and said: "We also started climbing the fairy ladder at your age, but we haven't climbed until this age."

"Hey! Little girl, don't look down on us. I also climbed up to the 99th step in one go, but I couldn't climb the last [-]th step."

"..." Yu Qingge calculated, she is nine years old now, and these old people seem to be 70 or 61 years old.

Could it be that she will grow old if she can't pass this first level?
