Lin Fan is the illegitimate son of Lin Tian, the head of the Lin family. His mother is the daughter of a local official. Later, she met Lin Tian and fell in love with him. Then she became pregnant. Lin Tian promised to marry Lin Fan's mother in the future, and then returned to the family alone. As the days passed, Lin's mother still didn't wait for the person she wanted to see. Seeing her belly getting bigger and bigger, she could no longer hide it from her family. Later, she had no choice but to confess the truth to her parents. Lin Fan's grandfather was very angry, but after all, he only had such a daughter, so the family simply went to find this so-called Lin Tian.
Later, we learned that in order to seize the position of head of the Lin family, Lin Tian did not hesitate to obtain the help of a powerful family and married the daughter of the family leader. He did not recognize the child as his own and chose to stay away from the child. No matter how Lin's mother shouted outside, it was of no use, and the matter was finally left unresolved. Later, Lin Fan was born, and his mother died of depression within a few years.
Lin Fan was raised by his grandparents and lived a pretty good life. Later, his family was demoted because of involvement with court officials, and they had to move out with his grandparents. Lin Fan was 7 years old at that time. After Lin Tian gained real power in the Lin family, and currently had no heirs, he thought of Lin Fan and wanted to bring them back. In the end, he found them, but only Lin's mother's parents and his own son were left alive. So he brought Lin's mother's parents to the city to take care of them, and Lin Fan was taken back to the Lin Mansion, and his stepmother treated him well.
Lin Fan was very talented. He had achieved the tenth level of Body Tempering when he was ten years old. But he picked up an unknown ring at some point, and then he had reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment when he was thirteen years old. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a genius.
At that time, he was engaged to Sikong Xue, the daughter of the elder of Sikong family, but his cultivation had been stagnant. When he was fifteen years old, his cultivation had even regressed to the body tempering stage, turning this talented young man admired by everyone into a despised waste. Later, Sikong Xue broke off the engagement. One day when he was paying tribute to his mother, an old voice came from the ring, and then it turned into the appearance of an old man. It turned out that his strength had declined over the years because this old guy absorbed his cultivation.
The old man's name was Dan Taifeng. He was a powerful man who had reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm a hundred years ago. Later, he was assassinated by someone. Part of his soul entered the ring and was later picked up by Lin Fan, which led to the subsequent situation.
Tan Tai Feng taught Lin Fan a secret book called "The Art of Wind and Moon". As long as one practices dual cultivation with others, one's strength will increase greatly. So Lin Fan hid his identity and went to various romantic places. He relied on this to improve his strength to the middle stage of Golden Core in three years, and then went to Wanjian Sect to find Sikong Xue to fulfill the three-year agreement.
Later, Sikong Xue was defeated and her cultivation was abolished by Lin Fan. According to the agreement, she was to work like a slave for Lin Fan, but was stopped by his parents. Later, under the coercion of Wanjian Sect and Lin Family, she had no choice but to hand over the person. However, Sikong Xue was unwilling to do so. When she was sent to Lin Family, she took out a dagger and committed suicide. When Lin Fan saw her, she was already dying, so he threw her out without mercy.
Back to the present, Xiao Ning and Xue'er were walking on the road. Xue'er was wearing a veil and was hiding from someone. It took them more than an hour to reach the mountain gate of the Shenxiao Sect, and those who had arrived earlier than them had already surrounded the place.
Whenever the Shenxiao Sect held a disciple recruitment ceremony, an endless stream of young people would come to try. People all wanted to join the world's number one sect. If they could pass the test, why would they need to be ordinary people anymore? That's why they all walked to the square, and the registration was in full swing.
At this time at Wutong Peak, Bai Ziyun was tasked to preside over the disciple-recruiting ceremony. Due to the confinement in the previous two years, she was required to accept a disciple this year.
Finally, she compromised with Lei Wanshan and only accepted him as a disciple, but she would not teach him and only treated him as a nominal disciple.
Lei Wanshan was helpless, but he had no choice but to give up.
Bai Ziyun asked Yun Yao and Xia Ling to go to the square together to look for a suitable person. If there was a suitable person, they would accept him/her and let him/her lead the person, and she would be just a nominal master.
After Xiao Ning registered, he took Xue'er to a shady place with few people and gave her some cakes and water. The two were tired because they had walked up the mountain. Besides, Xue'er was still a mortal. After walking one-third of the way, she could not walk anymore. Xiao Ning had no choice but to carry her on his back and continue walking up the mountain.
Soon, six figures flew in from the sky and slowly landed on the square's main hall. They looked down at the square and saw that they were like immortals, invincible to all living things. These were the leader of the Shenxiao Sect and the leaders of the five major peaks.
The clan leader signaled for silence to take place, and the aura he exuded immediately caused everyone in the audience to fall silent.
Then he turned his head and looked to the side. At this time, a beautiful woman walked slowly forward. Her white clothes fluttered, and her beautiful face made many young people intoxicated at a glance and unable to extricate themselves. She slowly opened her mouth and spoke, her voice like a beautiful song that made people dream.
"Everyone, today is the Shenxiao Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony. The ceremony test is divided into two parts:
1. Test age and cultivation. Those under 30 years old can come for the test. Those who fail will be eliminated.
Those who are over ten years old and have not reached the fifth level of body tempering will be eliminated.
Those who are over 14 years old and have not reached the fifth level of foundation building will be eliminated.
Those who pass the test will enter the next round of testing.
Those who pass the first and second tests will proceed to the second test, climbing the ladder.
Anyone who successfully climbs 50 steps on the Heavenly Ladder can enter the outer sect for training, while those who climb 100 steps can enter the inner sect for training, and anyone who climbs 200 steps can become a direct disciple of our five major peaks!
Those who have not climbed the fifty steps but are willing to stay can start as menial disciples. Only after two years of passing the assessment can they enter the outer sect for training.
Bai Ziyun paused after he finished speaking, then shouted again:
