Immortal Journey

Chapter 3 Enchanted Spirit Sect Recruits Apprentices

Time flies, flies by in the blink of an eye.
It is a good day with high autumn air, and Yanzhou City is bustling with bustle as early as dawn, because today is the ten-year-old disciple recruitment day of Yinling Sect!
It is said that a lot of people have lined up in the West Square since last night, all of them wanting to show the immortals of the Yinling Sect whether their children have the talent to cultivate immortals. Glory to God!
"Mother, don't you go with Ling'er?"

Ren Ling reluctantly looked at her mother who bent over to help her straighten her lapel, her rosy mouth was slightly pouted, Ren Qing's parents would send her to the square, why didn't her mother send her off? You know , once she is selected by the Yinling Sect, it will be even more difficult to see her mother again!
"Ling'er is good," Ren Ruxue frowned distressedly. Although she knew that the people who came to recruit disciples from the Yinling Sect might not know her, but... I was really worried that if they happened to meet someone who knew her, they would not be so kind to Ling'er. I'm afraid there will be a bad influence on the road of cultivation in the future, so even if Ren Ling tortured her two days ago, she has no choice but to turn a deaf ear to it.
"Did you remember what mother told you last night?"

Pursing her lips aggrievedly, Ren Ling realized that her mother's mind had been decided, so she had to accept it silently, "Mother, Ling'er has memorized everything, remembering every word. Mother, don't worry, Ling'er will come out to see her soon of."

Stretching out a hand to caress Ren Ling's head, Ren Ruxue's eyes were slightly red, "Ling'er, from now on mother is not by your side, you must know how to advance and retreat in everything, and the most important thing is to protect yourself." You know, the cultivation world has always been strong. How can she feel at ease in a place where the weak are the prey to the strong?
But, if you don't let Ling'er fly, how can you see her soaring in the beautiful sky she once yearned for so much?
"Ling'er, it's time to go." A majestic voice came from behind, Ren Ruxue quickly pushed Ren Ling away from her arms, and looked at Ren Mengrong who was coming from afar.
Ren Mengrong looked at the very similar mother and daughter, one big and one small, and frowned slightly, hoping that her granddaughter would not make the same mistakes as her daughter...

Ren Ling walked quickly towards Ren Mengrong, and reluctantly looked back at her mother for the last time, her eyes were full of determination. "Grandmother, let's go."

The time has come.
The city west square was even more crowded with people at the moment.
Most of the front of the square is occupied by various cultivation families, big and small, while the back is crowded with secular families.
Just when the voices of the people were buzzing, suddenly there was a faint sound of flute from far away in the sky. Although the sound was not loud, it fell into everyone's heart faintly, as if a certain string in the heart was touched, and they couldn't help but All looked up.
"Immortal! The immortal is here!"

I don't know who yelled this sentence in the crowd, all the hustle and bustle stopped suddenly, and even the breath seemed to disappear at that moment.
Ren Ling squinted her eyes and looked at the clouds that seemed to be flying towards the sky. She knew it was the Yunlingmen cloud boat. Her mother had told her that this cloud boat could carry dozens to hundreds of people. Looking at the size of the cloud boat, spirit stones are needed to activate the cloud boat. As long as there are enough spirit stones, the cloud boat can even travel thousands of miles a day. In addition to being able to fly, the cloud boat is also embedded with a very beautiful flute sound. The formation method is the unique flying spirit weapon of the Yin Lingmen.
As the cloud boat moves from far to near, you can gradually see clearly that there are three women and two men standing on the boat.
The headed woman was dressed in a light purple cloud silk jade robe with a waist around her waist. She had a good figure and a beautiful face. The aloofness and coldness on the faces of the three of them made it difficult to get close to them.
There are two men standing behind them, they are also handsome and elegant, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a faint look of humbleness in their eyes.
"Fairy! Fairy!"

After being silent for a while, the crowd finally couldn't help erupting again after seeing the figure on the cloud and mist boat. This is the fairy they longed for!
"Tsk! Ordinary people who have never seen the world!" Ren Qing glanced sideways at the crowd behind him, and moved closer to Ren Ling, "Sister Ling, which of the three women do you think is the prettiest?"

The corners of Ren Ling's mouth curled up slightly, in her opinion, the most beautiful woman in the world is her mother, she said with a smile, "It's all good, what does Qing'er say?"

"I think the one in the middle is the most arrogant. However, I can't blame her. She is the most charming among the three. Presumably, she is the best at practicing the enchantment formula."

Enchanting formula?
Ren Ling frowned, and raised her eyes to look at Ren Qing, how did she know the secret of this sect? According to mother, this enchanting formula is the sect secret of the Yin Lingmen, and it can only be practiced after the ninth level of Qi training Generally speaking, non-secret disciples of the inner sect are not allowed to practice the exercises.
"Sister Ling, don't you know the Enchantment of Enchantment?" Ren Qing covered his mouth exaggeratedly, but his eyes couldn't hide a look of complacency, "This is the last of the three sects of the Yinling Sect, but it has always stood firm The key secret! I will definitely practice this secret in the future!"

"Please be quiet, everyone."

Ren Ling listened to Ren Qing's words, and before he could open his mouth, the cloud boat landed in the square, the voice of the leading woman came over, and the square fell into silence again in an instant.
"Today is the day when our Yinling Sect recruits apprentices once every ten years," the leading woman paused, her eyebrows raised slightly, her black eyes as nimble as glass flicked across the crowd, "as long as a child with spiritual roots can Enter our Yinling Gate to practice Taoism."

"Next, starting from the Cultivation Clan, bring your children up one by one to test their spiritual roots."

After the woman finished speaking, she raised her bare hands lightly, and saw a white light flashing across, and a white halo appeared three feet away from her. The halo rose slowly as if psychic, and did not stop until the height of about eight feet.
"That is the spirit ring that tests the spiritual root." Ren Qing couldn't hide the light in his eyes, suddenly a little excited, but also a little nervous, he reached out and grabbed Ren Ling's sleeve,
"Sister Ling..."

Ren Ling blinked her big black round eyes, and she was also a little curious about the whirling white halo. The pulled sleeve made her retract her eyes, smiled at Ren Qing, and shook her hand, "Sister Qing, don't be afraid. We will definitely be selected."

Ren Qing nodded, the panic in her eyes was replaced by a look of pride, she is one in a hundred with dual spiritual roots, according to her mother, her spiritual roots are already the best qualifications among cultivators, and after getting started, she will definitely become an inner sect disciple directly , if he is chosen by some ancestor as his family, he has a bright future!
"Sister Ling, it's almost time for us." Turning his thoughts, he saw that the children of the three cultivation families in front of them had all experienced their spiritual roots, and their family was ranked fifth, and it would be their turn soon went up.
"Well…"

Ren Ling agreed softly, and turned his eyes back to the field.
Their family was originally well-known in Yanzhou City, but after the mother-in-law incident, it has gradually declined, but it is said that among the ancestors before the grandmother, they were the ancestors of the Dazheng Dazhen of the Golden Core Stage, so although the reputation is not as good as before, But the family background is pretty good, so in the rankings, it can be regarded as neither leading nor backward, right in the middle and ahead.
And the first four families happen to be the most popular cultivating families in Yanzhou City. Looking at the lineup of more than ten candidates from each of their families, and seeing that their families only have five disciples, you can see that they are quite far apart. Except for her and Qing Er is a relatively good dual-spiritual root, leaving a collateral cousin, cousin Ren Tong, who is a three-spiritual root, and two distant cousins, Ren Luo and Ren Ting, who are almost pseudo-spiritual roots and four-spiritual roots.
Ren Ling frowned slightly, and suddenly understood the complex look in her grandmother's eyes just now, and the sadness that her mother often hugged her and sighed.
"Next, the Ren family, Ren Ling."

After being named, Ren Ling quickly straightened his expression, took small steps and walked towards the Yin Lingling Ring. When he came to the front, he slightly saluted the two real men standing on the left and the right, and walked into the ring under their signal. middle.
He Yue, who was the leading woman, originally had a calm look in her eyes, but after Ren Ling stood in the ring, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.
I saw the spirit ring slowly rotating, layers of pure blue brilliance spread down from the ring, and when the blue brilliance almost covered Ren Ling's small body, circle after circle of clear blue brilliance escape from the ring.
Three points cyan, seven points blue.
He Yue nodded slightly invisibly, she was a good Mizuki spirit root, and with this little girl's aptitude, she was considered the best of the two spirit roots.
In addition to being able to detect a person's spiritual root, this spirit ring can also judge the quality of the spiritual root from the degree of color discrimination and hybridity. The brilliance of most dual spiritual roots will be a mixture of two colors, and this blue color It is rare to see such a clear distinction.
"Ren Ling," He Yue glanced at the name book in her hand, her voice was cold and elegant, without the slightest hint of surprise in her heart, "I am a disciple of the inner sect."

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Although there were several disciples with dual spiritual roots from the four major families just now, they were all only announced as candidates for inner disciples. This kind of statement of directly entering inner disciples made people envious of Ren Ling's goodness. luck.
Ren Qing couldn't help looking at Yin Linghuan eagerly, she couldn't lose to Ren Ling!
"Next, Ren Qing."

As soon as his name was pronounced, Ren Qing trotted to the field, ran to the front of the Yin Linghuan, swallowed nervously, and took a step inside.
"Fire and wood dual spiritual roots." He Yue looked at the red and blue colors flowing down from the ring, and nodded. This is also a good dual spiritual root. Although it is not as pure as Ren Ling's, it is also in line with the teacher's requirements. Hope, "Ren Qing, candidate for inner sect disciple."

what?
Ren Qing couldn't help being angry, her small face couldn't hide her anger, although she was still young, the discussions in the crowd when Ren Ling was directly designated as an inner disciple just now fell into her ears without any leak, now she is only Candidate for an inner sect disciple is still one level lower than Ren Ling, why?!
She just stepped into the third level of Qi training not long ago, although she is slightly inferior to Ren Ling who is already in the middle of the third level of Qi training, but she practiced later than Ren Ling, and her cultivation speed is faster than Ren Ling's. Faster, why is it only a candidate?
In fact, what Ren Qing didn't know was that the children of Yin Lingmen who entered the inner sect as candidates for the inner sect were generally already inescapable inner sect disciples, but the candidate meant that after entering the school, there would be one selected by the masters. Unless it is true that the father does not love the mother and does not hurt the mother and has not been favored by any master and can only make other arrangements, they are already regarded as default inner disciples.
And Shuanglinggen is not so easy to come across, and the masters naturally don't mind more disciples with excellent aptitude, so from past experience, basically no candidate inner disciples will be ignored .
It's just that Ren Ling's extremely excellent aptitude among the dual spiritual roots will be reserved by Lingru, the head of the four elders, so He Yue will directly announce her as an inner disciple.
He Yue herself is also a dual spiritual root with excellent aptitude, and she succeeded in building her foundation early in her 30s. She happened to be Lingru's introductory disciple, so she had a better impression of Ren Ling, and she wanted to bring her back to make her master happy.
The next test of spiritual roots is not much to watch, except for three disciples with double spiritual roots in the cultivation family, there are more than a dozen disciples with three spiritual roots, more than 20 four-spiritual roots and five-spiritual roots.
The spiritual roots after the three spiritual roots are not considered good seedlings for cultivation, so they are all accepted as outer disciples. When the disciples can practice to the ninth level of Qi training, they can participate in the entry competition inside the sect. The top [-] in the competition All of them can be directly promoted to inner sect disciples.
Of course, if one can succeed in building a foundation by oneself, one can directly upgrade to an inner sect disciple.
It's just that the spirit root itself is not good, without considerable opportunities and efforts, it is almost impossible to cultivate to the foundation stage by yourself.
He Yue released the cloud and mist boat, signaled the two juniors and sisters to help the children who had just entered the school board the boat, and then faced the crowd off the field, "Today, I have recruited more than [-] disciples from the Yin Lingmen, and I will definitely guide them on the way of cultivation." Dao, I hope they can achieve positive results as soon as possible. Thank you folks and elders, don’t pass by the Yinling Sect here.”
