Chapter 2 Yantian (Part 2) Are you Song Qingtang's junior sister? ...
But after all, today is to see the performance of the new disciples, so now is obviously not a good time to discuss this matter.
Therefore, when the disciples on the scene entered the mirage realm of the trial, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it anymore and only used their spiritual consciousness to pay attention to the performance of the disciples on the scene.
The mirage is created by the illusory breath of mirage shells. Everything you see and hear is an illusion, making it the perfect place for trials.
Before entering the Mirage Realm, Song Qingtang had already explained everything to Chi Wanyin, so she stepped into the gate of the Mirage Realm very calmly.
There was a flash of white light before my eyes, and I found myself in an upside-down tower, with only layers of stairs leading down as far as the eye could see.
There were not many disciples sent here. It seemed that the mirage randomly sent people to a certain illusion. Chi Wanyin analyzed the principle of the mirage while walking down the stairs.
She guessed that the trial for novice disciples would not be so simple. Sure enough, some of the people traveling with her became more and more terrified as they went down. This must be the disturbing effect of the mirage.
What's more, some of them had come to their senses and were silently chanting the Heart Purification Mantra, and they immediately felt much better.
Chi Wanyin was not afraid of these things. She continued to walk forward as usual until she reached the last step of the stairs and pushed open the wooden door.
She looked at the blood on the ground and Song Qingtang's face stained with her blood, "Junior sister, why are you doing this?" The whisper and sigh were like a curse.
"Wake up." This was the first voice that entered Chi Wanyin's ears. She opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.
It should be a disciple who came to participate in the trial together. She was still standing in front of the wooden door, as if it was just an illusion. Looking carefully at the person in front of her, she saw that she was a girl about the same age as her, but much taller than her.
"I was so scared when you suddenly fainted in front of this wooden door." She touched her chest, "Now that you're awake, let's go out together."
Chi Wanyin frowned. She was never very receptive to other people's kindness, but she still asked, "What's your name?"
"Xu Yunting." The girl answered crisply, "Since I told you, you have to tell me your name too."
Xu Yunting's tone made Chi Wanyin feel strangely familiar. "My name is Chi Wanyin."
Xu Yunting pulled her up from the ground and said, "Let's go, Wanyin."
After exiting the wooden door, the two found themselves in a hall. The other disciples who had passed the trial also gathered here. They saw that the walls of the hall were airtight, with only an ink screen on which was painted a lifelike ink dragon. No one could leave for a while.
Xu Yunting was also in a dilemma. She remembered that Chi Wanyin was the first one to walk to the wooden door, so she couldn't help but ask, "Wanyin, do you have any ideas?"
Chi Wanyin did not answer, but walked straight to the screen. She reached out and touched the screen, and the picture changed in an instant. Chi Wanyin also turned into the person on the screen, but also in ink and wash.
As soon as she entered the painting, she used her hand as a brush to draw an ink sword and started fighting with the ink dragon. With her as the first step, everyone followed suit and entered the painting one by one. At this time, perhaps the only way to get out was to defeat the ink dragon, so everyone worked together.
"Very sharp." Ye Tinghe commented casually on the stands: "However, is this year's trial a little difficult?" In her impression, this black dragon can only be defeated by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, which is still too difficult for a group of disciples who have not yet embarked on the practice.
Lu Qiyue had always been at odds with her, so naturally she had to retort, "That's fine. The past years weren't very interesting. If you can't even overcome this little setback, how can you expect to achieve great things?"
While the two were talking, the situation on the screen had changed. The scales of the black dragon were very hard, and many attacks were ineffective against them. Only Chi Wanyin, although he did not draw his sword easily, always went straight to the vital points of the black dragon, as if he was at ease.
After all, there is strength in numbers, and Chi Wanyin knew its weak point. The black dragon quickly fell from the air and turned into mountains and rivers on the screen. Everyone left the screen and left the hall.
Xu Yunting's eyes were filled with admiration, "Wan Yin, you are amazing."
Chi Wanyin patted her sleeves to remove the marks left by the battle and said, "It's just an entry-level trial, it's nothing." Besides, this was her second experience.
The two of them left the mirage together, and for a moment they could no longer hear Xu Yunting's voice. It seemed that the two of them were teleported to different places.
However, she saw her senior sister at a glance. Just by standing there, Chi Wanyin knew that her senior sister was different from others, but she couldn't tell exactly how she was different.
At this moment, the smile on her lips was obvious, "Junior sister, you did a good job."
Chi Wanyin couldn't help but think of the past when her senior sister had always been generous with her praise. Unfortunately... So Chi Wanyin couldn't help but reply with a little joy, "Thank you, senior sister."
Song Qingtang paused again before saying, "Have a good rest, and come with me to see Master tomorrow."
Chi Wanyin was not surprised to hear this. It was expected that Master Huaiyu would want to see her.
What's more, it was the same in her previous life. She passed the trial and was summoned by the head of the sect. At that time, she was already imagining her future journey to heaven.
But at this moment, her expression was calm, "I understand." After experiencing it again, she was able to remain calm.
*
Liuyun Peak is a mountain floating in the air. There is a small courtyard at the top. Chi Wanyin is standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking up.
The cranes beside the spiritual spring were enjoying the spiritual fish caught today. Song Qingtang moved his fingertips slightly and summoned the largest crane, which was covered with feathers and had a long neck.
When the crane saw Song Qingtang, it rubbed the back of her hand affectionately. Song Qingtang took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and explained to Chi Wanyin, "Master's residence is at the top of the mountain. You don't know how to fly a sword yet, so this crane is perfect for carrying you up there."
The crane opened its mouth and swallowed the spirit stone, then let Chi Wanyin sit on it before flapping its wings and flying away.
When they reached the top of the mountain, Chi Wanyin got off the crane and stroked its feathers before the crane left.
Looking at the small courtyard with green bricks and black tiles in front of me, it doesn't look like the residence of immortals but rather like the residence of mortals.
It was a huge towering pear tree, and it was also the first thing Chi Wanyin saw when she stepped into the courtyard.
However, the petals on the trees fell down, and when the wind blew, it looked like a pile of snow was blown up.
Master Huaiyu stood with her hands behind her back, watching the petals fall. It was not until Chi Wanyin approached that she said, "I would like to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"
For the head of a sect to accept a disciple is something that many people would beg for, but Master Huaiyu asked inquiringly at this time. Chi Wanyin suddenly remembered herself in her previous life and should have been ecstatic and agreed immediately, but this time it was different.
"What are the benefits of being your apprentice?" Chi Wanyin asked seriously.
Master Huaiyu looked at her and said, "I can teach you the art of divination. This art can help one make perfect predictions."
Chi Wanyin shook her head. "The art of divination is about prying into the secrets of heaven. It's about using lifespan to predict the future. The more detailed it is, the more likely it is to backfire."
Master Huaiyu looked a little surprised at this moment. "Then what do you want to learn?"
"I want to learn swordsmanship and become a sword cultivator." Chi Wanyin's face was determined.
Master Huaiyu couldn't help but shake his head. "Forget it. It seems this divination technique can't be passed down. You really are cut from the same cloth as your senior sister. She told me the same thing back then."
Chi Wanyin smiled, with a hint of the cunning that only a young girl could muster. "Even so, Master, do you still want to accept me as your disciple?"
Master Huaiyu nodded. She was clad in a white Taoist robe, almost blending in with the rustling flowers. "Yes, this may be the guidance of heaven."
Chi Wanyin caught a fallen petal. Is this the way of heaven...
When Chi Wanyin walked out of the courtyard, she saw Song Qingtang still waiting outside and called out, "Senior Sister."
Song Qingtang didn't seem surprised at all, and just asked, "How is it?"
Chi Wanyin wore a shy smile on her face, "The headmaster has agreed to take me as his disciple."
So, Song Qingtang curled his lips slightly, "Junior sister."
Chi Wanyin naturally agreed, but then she added, "You should stay here for the next few days. Master is the Sect Leader after all, and the disciple-taking ceremony will naturally take several days to prepare. Today, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the sect."
"Thank you, senior sister." Chi Wanyin smiled.
Song Qingtang looked at her skinny body and said, "We are all fellow disciples from now on, so please don't be so polite, Junior Sister."
After saying that, Song Qingtang took Chi Wanyin to the dining hall first, perhaps he had remembered what she had said before.
Not many people come to the dining hall. After all, after the foundation-building stage, one no longer needs to eat ordinary food. Even for those who have not reached the foundation-building stage, most people will only take fasting pills.
Song Qingtang explained, "Junior sister, you probably don't like the taste of the fasting pills. Besides, you are in the growth stage now, so eating more will be beneficial."
Chi Wanyin was silent for a moment before she said, "Senior Sister, you actually remember what I said so clearly."
Then, Song Qingtang took her to several places, and finally the two returned to Liuyun Peak. Song Qingtang pointed to a bamboo forest not far away and said, "Junior sister, you can stay there for the time being. There is a bamboo house there. I also lived there before I entered the Dao."
Song Qingtang personally sent Chi Wanyin to the bamboo house, feeling that this senior sister should be quite competent.
However, the next day, when Chi Wanyin left the bamboo house, she saw a female cultivator in emerald green clothes leaning against an old bamboo tree. When the female cultivator saw her coming out, she asked with a hint of curiosity, "Are you Song Qingtang's junior sister?"
Chi Wanyin frowned slightly upon hearing this, "How can this senior sister address the senior sister by her name?"
The green-robed female cultivator simply smiled and said, "She only entered the sect a few days earlier than me, so why can't I call out her real name?"
Chi Wanyin raised her eyes and took a closer look at the female cultivator's appearance. When she was in Yantian Sect, she didn't pay attention to these things and was only focused on cultivation, so she couldn't call out the female cultivator's name.
"Excuse me, Senior Sister, what brings you here?" Chi Wanyin asked directly. Since she was not in front of Song Qingtang at the moment, she didn't need to pretend.
The green-robed female cultivator then said directly, "My last name is Liu. You can just call me Senior Sister Liu. As for my coming here, it's not out of turn. Song Qingtang is busy right now and asked me to take you on a tour of the sect."
Chi Wanyin's heart trembled. She remembered who this person was. After all, when she escaped from Yantian Sect, she almost died several times at the hands of this Senior Sister Liu Qianhe.
And all this was just because Liu Qianhe was good friends with Song Qingtang, and his sword almost killed her.
At that time, Liu Qianhe had just returned from outside the sect. When he saw that his best friend was so seriously injured, he was naturally furious and vowed to chase Chi Wanyin to the ends of the earth.
"Junior Sister." Liu Qianhe waved his hand in front of her, and Chi Wanyin regained consciousness. "So it's Senior Sister Liu. In that case, please lead the way."
Liu Qianhe always felt very strange. The way this new junior sister looked at her was too awkward, so she paused, and Chi Wanyin had to stop as well. "Junior sister Wanyin, are you worried about something?"
Chi Wanyin looked at the gentle and harmless Senior Sister Liu in front of her, and found it hard to connect this person with Liu Qianhe, who was chasing her with silver needles and poisons.
However, she still pretended to be hesitant and asked, "Senior Sister Liu, is Senior Sister arranging the disciple-taking ceremony?"
Liu Qianhe breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It turned out that he was worried about Song Qingtang. "Yes, don't worry. Song Qingtang is the only one in your family. Since she is of a higher generation, your status will naturally rise with her. No one will dare to bully you."
Seeing Liu Qianhe almost patting his chest to make a promise, Chi Wanyin couldn't help but smile with her hands covering her lips.
Seeing her smile, Liu Qianhe was also satisfied, "That's it, why is the child so nervous?"
In the next few days, Liu Qianhe accompanied Chi Wanyin. The two of them almost toured the entire Yantian Sect before the disciple-recruiting ceremony officially began.
Ordinary elders naturally don't need such a big ceremony to accept disciples, but Master Huaiyu is the head of Yantian Sect, so these red tapes are necessary.
When Liu Qianhe was with her, Chi Wanyin also began to try to draw Qi into her body. However, she did not look at any of the exercises Liu Qianhe gave her. Since she already knew how to do it, she naturally did not need these.
When practicing in the righteous sects, one needs to activate one's spiritual roots to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, otherwise there is a risk of spiritual energy stagnation. However, the magic practitioners do not care about these things. It was because Chi Wanyin had his spiritual roots removed in his previous life that he chose to practice magic.
She has not yet calculated her spiritual roots. According to her memories of her previous life, it should have been on the day of the disciple-taking ceremony. However, she also knows the result. Although it is not bad, it is not as good as Song Qingtang.
"Why would the Master accept such a mediocre disciple?"
"That's right. You know, the Sect Master originally only accepted the eldest sister as his disciple, but the one he accepted now is not that good."
Chi Wanyin still remembered the whispers from the audience, and from then on, she felt that she was inferior to her senior sister in every way.
As for what happened later... she didn't know why it turned out like that. She only remembered the resentment in her heart at that time and the fact that the Shishui Sword chose her senior sister instead of herself, which made her like a different person afterwards.
On the day of the disciple-taking ceremony, in order to show the festive mood, Song Qingtang specially ordered the fairy servant to send a set of red clothes to Chi Wanyin, and Chi Wanyin naturally changed into them.
Looking at Chi Wanyin in a red shirt, Song Qingtang felt that she seemed to have grown taller, and perhaps because she no longer had to starve in Yantian Sect, her cheeks had become a little fuller.
Liu Qianhe naturally also saw her outfit, and gave Chi Wanyin a look that said, "What do you think, senior sister has good taste in clothes, right?"
This made Chi Wanyin couldn't help but smile. Seeing the two of them like this, Song Qingtang knew that they must be getting along well.
"Let's go, the ceremony is about to begin." Song Qingtang reminded.
Chi Wanyin agreed obediently, and the three of them walked to the square where the ceremony was to be held.
Inside the square, because the leader, Master Huaiyu, wanted to recruit disciples, the inner and outer disciples had surrounded the place tightly.
Not long after the three of them arrived, they heard the cry of a crane. Master Huaiyu and the four elders were all present. The head position naturally belonged to Master Huaiyu, and the other four elders took the same seats.
There was a stone tablet in the middle of the field used to test spiritual roots. Chi Wanyin stepped forward and touched it lightly with her hand. Immediately, words appeared on the stone tablet: Wood Spiritual Root.
However, what followed was the word "middle grade". For ordinary mortals, having spiritual roots was a great fortune, and even low-grade ones were considered to have a chance to become immortals. Middle-grade ones were considered to have good qualifications in the Yantian Sect, but they were not good enough to be the true disciples of Huaiyu Zhenren.
After all, the eldest senior sister had a top-grade ice spiritual root when she first entered the sect.
Chi Wanyin's heart was very calm. After all, she had experienced such a thing in her previous life, so she naturally would not be sad because of this matter.
After calculating the spiritual roots, the ceremony of accepting a disciple officially began. Chi Wanyin first kowtowed to Master Huaiyu, and then offered him tea as a courtesy in the ordinary world.
Huaiyu Zhenren naturally accepted it and heard her say, "Now that you have entered our Yantian Sect today, you will be a disciple of the Yantian Sect in the future. You must practice well and don't go astray."
"Disciple will keep it in mind." Chi Wanyin replied respectfully.
Ye Tinghe, who was sitting nearby, heard this and used her spiritual sense to transmit a message to the four people, "I think this little girl is quite good. She is neither humble nor arrogant. She didn't get discouraged just now because she only has a mid-level talent. It's rare for someone of her age to have such a mentality."
This time, Lu Qiyue rarely refuted Ye Tinghe, "The path of cultivation not only values aptitude, but also character. She is so calm and composed at such a young age, which is really good.
Although the remaining two elders, Ling Yuyang and Su Yin, did not communicate with each other, they seemed to have tacitly agreed to this.
Upon hearing this, Master Huaiyu only smiled slightly. "Seeing her, I suddenly realized that perhaps we are really getting old, and it's time for this world of cultivation to need some fresh blood."
