Chapter 4: Opening the Mountain Gate

In this era, although people did not have to eat raw meat and drink blood, life was still extremely difficult for ordinary people.

The strong are as numerous as clouds, and they can move mountains, fill the sea, or even destroy the world at will. They treat the weak as ants and grass. Just to survive is already making ordinary people try their best, so naturally there are not many literate people.

And precisely because they have no background, they continue to strive to join the Xuanmen to become monks and travel around the world.

In their perception, as long as one becomes a cultivator, he or she is a "god among gods".

It's worth everything!

······

"I'll tell you. I'll tell you."

Seeing his companions' eyes becoming more and more ferocious, the man dared not hide it anymore and quickly admitted: "This is a slogan written by a sect called Lanyue Sect, the content is similar."

“Even if you don’t have talent, there is still a glimmer of hope.

When we accept disciples, we don’t look at talent, we only look at fate.

Regardless of identity, status, background or talent, everyone can come.

——

Welcome everyone to come and worship at Lanyue Sect."

"Some of them are information about how to get to Lanyue Sect."

After hearing his explanation, the people around him were all surprised.

"Not talent, but fate?"

"Is it possible to be admitted into the sect even if I don't have any talent? Is this... true or false?"

"What kind of sect is the Lanyue Sect?"

They were basically passers-by, with a few being a group of acquaintances, and at the moment, most of them felt excited and confused.

Cultivation is difficult, and only one in ten people has talent. Even if there are people with talent, most of them are just barely passable and cannot meet the threshold of those sects to accept disciples. This is known to everyone.

So although they came with full of hope, they were actually very scared in their hearts, fearing that their talents were not up to par.

At this moment, I suddenly heard that there was a chance to enter the mountain gate even without talent, and I couldn't help but feel excited.

But what kind of sect is the Lanyue Sect?

Most haven't heard of it.

"I know!"

A young woman whispered, "The Lanyue Sect was once one of the top sects in our Southwest Region, second only to the Wanhua Holy Land, and was the leader among the first-class sects!

During his peak period, he had over 10,000 sacred mountains, over 10 million disciples, and was unrivaled in his fame. "

"ah?"

"Then why is it completely unknown now? We have even heard of the Peach Blossom Sect which only has eight sacred mountains, but we have never heard of this Lanyue Sect?"

"That's because they have declined over the years and are in urgent need of successors. As a result, things have taken a sharp turn for the worse. Now, there is only one sacred mountain left, and it is already in danger."

"Perhaps, that's why they came up with this idea to attract more people to visit the mountain?"

"A sacred mountain? This..."

"Then it depends on your own choice."

The young woman sighed softly: "But in my opinion, the head of a chicken and the tail of a phoenix?

Among us, only one in a hundred can truly become an immortal. Even if we are lucky enough to be admitted, most of us cannot become the tail of a phoenix, let alone the head of a chicken. It is a blessing from heaven that we can enter.”

Everyone agreed and nodded heavily.

"Then shall we go to Lanyue Sect?"

"Don't let me control you."

The young woman shook her head slightly: "I advise you to have your own opinions."

In her opinion, if someone is so easily influenced by others and believes everything he hears, he will not be able to enter the mountain gate even if he has talent.

Thinking of this, she added: "Besides, although they say that talent is not important but fate is, they didn't say that the people they want to accept must be those without talent."

Everyone was numb.

You've made us so confused!

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Then how should we choose?"

"Look at yourselves."

The young woman sighed, "I've already told you to have your own opinions. I can only analyze the pros and cons, but I won't and can't tell you what to do."

"After all, this choice may change your life."

"Everyone knows what they will encounter when they go to Taohua Sect. People without talent or with poor talent will definitely not be able to enter."

"But if you go to Lanyue Sect, even if you don't have talent, you can still have a chance of survival."

"That's all."

Only then did everyone begin to pay attention to this young woman.

Following the direction of the voice, everyone found that she had a determined look and gaze, but her face was covered in mud and looked a little shabby, but not in a very embarrassed state.

Three thousand strands of black hair fell like a waterfall to her waist.

Although the coarse cloth dress was washed white and had patches on it, it was very clean.

"So, what's your choice, girl?"

"Me?"

She laughed at herself: "I know I have no talent."

Then, she turned around and headed towards Lan Yue Sect.

Everyone hesitated when they saw this, and then they split into two groups. One group continued to head towards Taohua Sect, while the other half headed towards Lanyue Sect.

······

Similar situations occurred outside many sects near Lanyue Sect.

Some sneered.

Some people take it seriously.

Some people think that the Lanyue Sect is about to collapse, and this move is clearly an attempt to recruit a few disciples through deception.

Some people also think that although the Lanyue Sect is now extremely desolate, it was once glorious and should still have some foundation. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so it is worth a try.

“···”

······

Three days later, the day arrived when thousands of sects in the Southwestern Region would open their gates.

The five elders have all returned.

The Lanyue Sect also made some repairs.

The bluestone slabs leading up the mountain were swept spotlessly clean, and the few spiritual medicines in the medicine garden were moved out and placed on both sides of the road up the mountain. Even the spiritual energy was much more abundant than before.

The few spiritual beasts in the sect were all released, letting them run all over the mountains and fields, adding some vitality and "immortal style".

morning.

when!!!

A melodious bell sounded from an endlessly distant place. This was the "signal" from the Wanhua Holy Land. Then the formations at the major mountain gates were activated, and the road to the mountain appeared...

Lin Fan stood outside the hall, hesitant.

Although I have done everything I can think of, is there a gift package for beginners?

He paced back and forth, and finally felt that something was missing, so he looked at the seven disciples standing nearby and said, "Go find a place on the mountainside to fight and exchange skills, so that the newcomers can open their eyes."

However, they were stunned and looked at Lin Fan with confusion and worry: "Ah? Us?"

Lin Fan: “…”

I wanted to say something, but when the words came to my lips, I smiled helplessly: "Forget it, you guys have fun... um, you guys are busy with your own things."

It’s better to just let them be mascots.

This is really difficult for them.

······

Behind Lin Fan, the Great Elder murmured: "Some people have gathered at the foot of the mountain and are climbing the mountain."

"How many are there?" Lin Fan couldn't help but look forward to it.

"About two hundred!"

Only two hundred?

Lin Fan's heart sank.

Last year there were more than 300!

Although there is no one who can get started...

"etc!"

At this time, Wu Xingyun suddenly said, "There's someone coming from a distance!"

"Twos and threes, coming from different directions."

"Master, your advertisement must have worked!"

"Oh?! How many people are there?"

"I'm afraid..."

Wu Xingyun's eyes sparkled, and he tried to release his consciousness as far as possible, but he still couldn't see the end: "No less than ten thousand!"

Hearing this, everyone smiled.

"Hurrah!"

Over ten thousand?

Even if you have to pick one out of a thousand, you can still pick out ten disciples who are barely acceptable. If they are trained properly, they can be a help to some extent.

"The master is so talented!"

The five elders all praised.
