The two chatted casually while flying on the sword, and arrived at Qingchuan City three days later.
In the empty square in the center of the city, there were six or seven long tables, each with a sign made of spirit crystal, engraved with the name of each sect. Zhengxin Sect, Jianyuan Sect, Changfeng Sect...
Behind each table sat several old men, who were either sect masters or elders.
In front of the table, there was a long queue, and young cultivators from all over the Tianyuan Continent were taking the test one by one.
"You failed the test, so you can go back." An old and kind voice sounded in front. "
Senior, please give me a chance. I have been practicing hard for so many years, waiting for this day.
I promise that even if I am only allowed to be an outer disciple or a chores disciple, I will have no regrets and will be loyal to the sect until death." In front of the table, a young cultivator pleaded anxiously, his voice choking.
This man looked to be in his thirties or forties, but as a cultivator, his real age must not be that young.
"You came to my Zhengxin Sect to become a disciple, just to go to Lingtian Realm for training and cultivation, but if you are just an outer disciple or a chores disciple, do you think you have a chance to go to Lingtian Realm?" The old man was not angry, but patiently persuaded. The
young cultivator was speechless. Indeed, he came all the way to Qingchuan City for a chance to go to Lingtian Realm, but if he was just an outer disciple or a chores disciple, he would never have a chance to succeed in his life, and how could he be qualified to go to Lingtian Realm.
"Go back, with your qualifications, as long as you concentrate on cultivation, you may not be unable to cultivate the Great Dao in the secular world, so why bother to come to my Zhengxin Sect to waste your time?" The old man persuaded earnestly.
Having said that, the young cultivator certainly could not continue to entangle, bowed deeply to the old man, and turned away in despair.
"The assessment is so difficult, can't you pass the fusion realm?" Su Lingshuang stood in the middle of the long line, and opened her mouth in surprise when she saw this scene.
She had thought that although these sects were earth-grade, since they could build a base in Lingtian Realm, their strength and status must be extraordinary, and the standards for recruiting disciples must be extremely strict.
But she never thought that the standards would be so strict that even the cultivation level of the fusion realm could not pass the assessment.
You know, she has just been promoted to the fusion realm, and in terms of real combat power, she is probably not as good as that young cultivator.
She was originally full of confidence, but now her heart is in turmoil again, and her face is full of worry.
"Is the fusion realm very strong? Zhengxin Sect is one of the top ten earth-grade sects in Tianyuan Continent. Not to mention the fusion, there are many strong people who have passed the tribulation. When
they recruit disciples, they value qualifications and potential the most, not strength.
Don't look at the man just now. His cultivation is good, much stronger than most of us, but he has actually missed the best age for cultivation and has little potential to tap. How can Zhengxin Sect look down on him?" A young man behind looked at Su Lingshuang with a bumpkin's eyes and said ostentatiously.
Seeing his contempt, Su Lingshuang was not angry, but slightly relieved. Fortunately, others accept disciples based on aptitude, age, and potential.
Although her cultivation strength is not stronger than that of the young cultivator just now, her aptitude may not be inferior to his. Her age and potential also account for a great advantage. There is still some hope.
"This senior is approachable and has a good temper." Gu Qingxi glanced at the old man and said admiringly.
Even if the young man behind her didn't say it, she could see that the old man's cultivation had reached above the tribulation, and it was very likely that he had reached the peak of tribulation or the great perfection.
With his cultivation, he actually had the patience to comfort and encourage a young junior who failed the assessment. Such a good temper is rare in Tianyuan Continent, Tiancang Continent and Yuanzhen Continent, let alone.
"Of course, the Zhengxin Sect cultivates the original mind of heaven and earth and seeks the true path. This Sect Master Xie Ningyuan is famous for his righteousness and is very caring towards the younger generation.
But don't think he is a good man. Sect Master Xie is also famous for hating evil and promoting good and eliminating evil. If anyone commits evil and falls into his hands, his cultivation will be abolished at the least, and he will die on the spot at the worst." The young man said with admiration.
In this way, the Zhengxin Sect is well-deserved. Gu Qingxi looked at the sign on the table in front of her with the three words "Zhengxin Sect" engraved on it. She had more appreciation and relief for this sect and the sect master named Xie Ningyuan.
Although the Tianyuan Continent is respected by the strong, there are also many strong people who covet the Tiancang Continent and Yuanzhen Continent, but they are not demons after all. There are still many sects that are noble and can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil.
While he was talking, more than a dozen young people finished the test. Except for one person who was lucky enough to be retained by Xie Ningyuan, the others all ended up in failure.
Soon, it was Gu Qingxi's turn.
"I'm Gu Qingxi, and I'd like to meet Sect Master Xie." Gu Qingxi said politely.
"Gu Qingxi..." Xie Ningyuan had a smile of encouragement on his face, but he raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this and looked at Gu Qingxi with scrutiny.
"Has Sect Master Xie heard of me?" Gu Qingxi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when she saw this.
Even if she showed her skills in the competition with the Lin family and made a name for herself, it would be impossible for Xie Ningyuan to hear about it so quickly. Could it be that they have the same name and surname?
"Are you from Xishui City?" Xie Ningyuan asked with a sullen face, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Yes." Gu Qingxi nodded, but she was even more puzzled in her heart.
It seems that they are not the same name and surname, and this Sect Master Xie has really heard of her name.
But in that competition, not only did she win all five battles in the art of alchemy, weaponry, formation, swordsmanship, and the art of controlling spirits, but she also won them all openly.
If he had heard of his name, even if he didn't cry and beg him to join the Zhengxin Sect, his face shouldn't be so ugly, right?
"Go away. The cultivation method of my Zhengxin Sect emphasizes being worthy of heaven, worthy of earth, and worthy of one's heart. How could we accept someone like you into the sect?" Without waiting for Gu Qingxi to ask, Xie Ningyuan said with disgust.
"..." What do you mean by someone like you? What did I do to hurt the heavens and make you despise me like this?
Even a clay Buddha can still be angry, let alone Gu Qingxi, whose face also turned cold.
"Master Xie, I just heard that you are righteous and hate evil, but I don't know what I have done to make you hate me so much?" Gu Qingxi asked coldly.
"How dare you, Gu Qingxi, talk to my master like this!" A young cultivator behind Xie Ningyuan shouted sternly.
"Don't you know what you have done? Do you dare to lie in front of our clan leader?" Another young man said sarcastically.
"Why bother talking to such a person, clan leader? Just kill him with one palm." Someone else said disdainfully.
Seeing that they were all filled with righteous indignation and murderous intent, the young people around them scattered like a tide, with Gu Qingxi and Su Lingshuang as the center.
Especially the young man who had just talked to Gu Qingxi and Su Lingshuang, he avoided them like a plague god, and avoided them more than ten feet away, wishing to carve the two lines of big words "I don't know them, I haven't seen them" on his forehead.
Although they were all confused and didn't know what Gu Qingxi had done, she must have done nothing good, otherwise how could she be so hated by the whole Zhengxin Sect, and they didn't want to be implicated.
