Second Uncle-Master looked at the man's extremely paralyzed and uncoordinated appearance and sighed, "His bones and muscles were shattered. He is completely useless..."

The four children looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never expected that the first level would be so evil. The stone could not even be touched. It was really scary.

But then, as more and more people came to the threshold, Ran Ran realized that the man's experience was actually quite good.

Afterwards, most people just let the Trial Stone shake slightly, but they did not dare to touch it or do anything against the rules, so they could only return home disappointed.

Finally it was Jiuhua Sect's turn. The first person to take the stage was not the chief disciple Wei Fang, but a fat man who looked very complacent. From their previous discussions, this disciple named Guo was the one who had improved the fastest in the past few years, except for Wei Fang.

Among the younger generation of Jiuhua Sect, the only one who had hope of entering the marrow washing pool was Wei Fang and this disciple named Guo.

After he sat cross-legged, he regulated his breathing and circulated his energy. Soon, steam began to rise from his head. The trial stone, which had been motionless all along, suddenly shook violently, and then rose up little by little.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the fat man proudly stood up and took a step towards crossing the stone.

But at this moment, perhaps because he did not control his luck and breathing well when he stood up, the boulder he had lifted suddenly fell down and hit the man who walked under the boulder on the head...

Qiu Xier and Ranran lined up, greeted everyone in front and behind them to reserve a spot, then ran to a nearby tree to set up a stall and eat the lunch they brought with them.

Caught off guard, seeing such a bloody scene, Qiu Xier was so frightened that she screamed and dived into Gao Cang's arms.

The second brother was practicing using his toes to pinch chopsticks to feed rice into his mouth, but he got so scared that he used too much force and bit his big toe.

Ran Ran silently swallowed the juicy fish ball in her mouth, then closed her eyes and held her breath, trying to forget the bloody scene as soon as possible.

This time, the new disciples from the three major sects kept their mouths shut, and no one made a mocking sound anymore.

Wei Fang seemed to have expected something like this to happen, and said coldly to the remaining fellow apprentices: "The Marrow Washing Pool is a gift from the gods left by the ancient great powers. Those who are not blessed or have weak wills cannot pass this threshold. Junior Brother Guo has done his best, but unfortunately his cultivation is still not enough, and he failed..."

At this point, his eyes became slightly moist and he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Originally, Jiuhua Sect had three more disciples who were going to pass the test, and their strength was no less than that of Senior Brother Guo. However, with the vague flesh and blood of Senior Brother under the foundation stone, how could they concentrate on lifting the stone and passing the test?

If things go wrong, they might be the next ones to be smashed to pieces.

Therefore, although two of the remaining disciples raised the Trial Stone halfway, they were too timid to go forward in the end, and eventually they ran out of breath and returned home in defeat.

Qiu Xier was also terrified at this time. She held Ranran's hand and whispered, "Oh my god, the trials here are even more life-threatening than our master's. Even the outstanding disciples of Jiuhua Sect can't pass it. We don't think we can even get close to it. We should go back early to avoid being exposed to the sun here."

But Ranran shook her head and frowned at Wei Fang, who had tears in his eyes.

She thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Wei Fang has been here twice. He should have foreseen something like this. If he had reminded his fellow disciples, the moment the stone gate was raised was the critical moment. Maybe Fellow Daoist Guo wouldn't have had to die. But you see, the order of passing the Jiuhua Sect was arranged by Wei Fang, but he let Fellow Daoist Guo, whose ability was comparable to his, pass first, and he didn't even warn him. In my opinion, this trial stone has tested the wickedness of human hearts..."

Gao Cang and Qiu Xier had not thought about it in this direction before, but after listening to Ranran's analysis, they suddenly realized it.

There can only be one winner in the Marrow Washing Pool Meeting. Even if they are from the same sect, they all become competitors in the end.

Wei Fang failed to pass the test last time, so this time he came with the determination to pass. In that case, how could he possibly let the rising star among his fellow students pass?

As expected, the last person from Jiuhua Sect to pass the test was Wei Fang. Although he was facing the blood of his fellow disciples, Wei Fang was not affected at all. He lifted the stone with his energy and dodged past. The action was done in one go, as if he had practiced it for a long time.

In the end, the only disciple of Jiuhua Sect who passed the test was Wei Fang.

When we arrived at the Kongshan Sect, the situation was not as dire as that of the Jiuhua Sect.

Because Master Wen failed to survive the catastrophe and had just passed away, the new leader of the Kongshan Sect had not yet been officially determined, and the acting leader was Master Wen's adopted daughter, Wen Hongshan.

Wen Hongshan had been to Tianmai Mountain before, but unfortunately she failed to win the fight with Su Yishui and ended up in the Xisui Pool.

The rule of Tianmai Mountain is that everyone can only come here once in their lifetime, and this time means that once you pass the trial stone, there is no chance of coming back again.

Wen Hongshan had passed this first hurdle before, so after she carefully informed her disciples of the precautions, three of them finally passed it safely.

Among these three people, there is a pair of twin sisters named Wen Bingqing and Wen Yujie. It is said that they are immortal cultivation prodigies that Master Wen found personally after visiting the people. At such a young age, they have already reached the fifth level of foundation building. With time, they will be able to achieve great success in their youth.

The remaining one was a very tall boy, his face was so dark that no one could see his features clearly.

He seemed to be a newcomer. The disciples of Kongshan School were not very familiar with him. It was said that he was a relative of Wen Hongshan and borrowed her back door to come directly to participate in the Xisui Pool Meeting.

However, although he had just entered the empty mountain, his strength should not be underestimated. After meditating for a while, he also lifted up the trial stone.

As the day passed, only a dozen people passed through the long team of hundreds of people.

The few timid people from the Xishan School did not fight or compete, but hid under the shade of the trees, eating and drinking until the end. According to Qiu Xier's opinion, there was no point in not soaking in the hot spring pool.

No matter how comfortable it is, can it be as comfortable as the medicine pool at Uncle Zeng’s house?

At this moment, a long convoy suddenly turned out from halfway up the mountain, and Mu Qingge, who had been hiding in the palace, arrived.

Although she had lived two lives, this new body had never been to Tianmai Mountain, so she was indeed qualified.

When she got off the car, the crowd that was about to disperse suddenly stopped. When they found out that she was also going to compete for the spot to enter Tianmai Mountain, someone immediately said indignantly: "Mu Qingge, you have already entered the marrow washing pool a long time ago. Are you ashamed to compete with the younger generation for this opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingge was too lazy to even answer. She just walked towards the trial stone. Without meditating, she stretched out her hand and waved it lightly, and the huge stone was lifted up as lightly as a feather. When she passed by, the huge stone fell down with a bang, and it took only the blink of an eye.

This huge gap in strength made the dozen or so young people who were originally proud of passing the trial stone all lose their voices.

At this time, Mu Qingge chuckled and said, "I have lived again, but this body has never been in the marrow cleansing pool. Whether I am qualified or not will be determined by the trial stone. If you are still not convinced, don't worry. We will take our time in the future levels."

At this moment, she turned her head to look at the Xishan disciples who were eating and drinking under the tree. After looking around, her eyes fixed on Xue Ranran who was biting an apple.

This deep look was extremely complicated. If she hadn't heard the report from the people she sent out, Mu Qingge would never have thought that the little disciple of Su Yishui she had met before was actually the spiritual fruit that had fallen so early...

Su Yishui had recognized her long ago? He actually kept her by his side. But this girl didn't have any of her past life charm. She was not outstanding in any aspect, whether it was her physique or her ability. She looked just like Mu Ranwu who was lost in the crowd in her past life...

Thinking of this, Mu Ranwu smiled. When she and her sister died together, it was she who used the Soul Transferring Technique to change the fate of both of them.

In her previous life, her elder sister was born at a good time and had a smooth life in cultivating Taoism, unlike her, who was a premature baby who fell out of her mother's womb, with mediocre qualifications and nothing outstanding.

And now, their destinies have really been completely switched.

She wanted to see what a mediocre person could accomplish even if Su Yishui was devoted to him.

Thinking of this, she stood beside the stone gate and smiled meaningfully at Xue Ranran: "Ranran, we meet again. How come you haven't had this trial stone in Xishan yet?"

Because she sent people to disturb her parents, Ranran's favorability towards Mu Xianchang dropped sharply. So when Mu Xianchang spoke, she didn't want to pay attention to her.

But it was getting late, and they really couldn't delay any longer. If they couldn't even pass the first level, Xishan Lingxi Palace would lose face.

Thinking of this, Xue Ranran said to the brothers around him: "Let's go, we are going to give it a try."

Bai Baishan looked dejected, put on his shoes and socks and said, "You guys go and try. I don't have any cultivation energy in my stomach right now, so I won't go and embarrass Xishan Sect."

So the remaining three came to the Trial Stone.

Gao Cang was the most advanced among the disciples. After he crossed his legs and regulated his breathing, he began to use his Qi to move the stone.

Unfortunately, the stone only shook slightly. When Qiu Xier took over, it didn't even shake.

Mu Qingge didn't care about the performance of these two people at all. She was only focused on watching Xue Ranran.

Although she always felt that Xue Ranran was not a threat, Mu Ranwu was still a little worried. Xue Ranran was adopted by a carpenter couple from Juefeng Village. How did she survive after leaving the Reincarnation Tree?

The reincarnation tree has been completely destroyed now, so why is Xue Ranran looking more and more delicate? There is no sign of congenital deficiency at all.

Thinking about how Su Yishui had punished her with an antidote because she had investigated Xue Ranran's background, causing her to live a life worse than death for a whole month, she felt an irreconcilable resentment in her heart.

Now, it is she who looks like a fairy and possesses natural spiritual power! Why does Su Yishui still refuse to look at her and keep this empty waste by his side?

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, smiled and said loudly to Ran Ran: "Miss Xue, it's your turn."

Ran Ran stood in front of the trial stone in a daze for a while, until Mu Qingge called out to her, she came back to her senses. So she also walked over and sat down to try her luck.

As expected, just like Qiu Xier, the stone did not move at all.

The smile on Mu Ranwu's face gradually expanded, and Gao Xuan's heart slowly relaxed. Sister, as long as you don't get in the way, it's not bad to live a mediocre life for a few decades like this...

The others were not surprised to see that the Xishan Sect was not doing well. Just as they were about to leave, Ran Ran turned around and asked Second Uncle Master, "Does the rule of the Trial Stone stipulate that only one person can go alone at a time?"

Yu Tong was also stunned by the question, because the situation Ran Ran mentioned had never happened before.

After all, the temptation of the marrow washing pool is no less than that of the spiritual spring. This is an opportunity that many young people who practice Taoism dream of. How can anyone pass by in a group when so many people are crossing a single-plank bridge together to show their personal strength?

Other sects could neither think of nor do such a cowardly and shameful thing.

So Yu Tong said honestly: "I don't know. But it seems there is no such rule."

Ran Ran turned around and said to Gao Cang and Qiu Xier, "Do you still remember the essence of our demon-subduing formation?"

After hearing her question, the three of them looked at each other and said together: "Everyone in the formation is united as one, advancing and retreating together, living and dying together!"

Ran Ran clapped his hands: "That's right! Since the Demon Subduing Formation can combine our powers into one, why don't we set up a formation and give it a try. Can we lift the Trial Stone together?"

After hearing this, Gao Cang and Qiu Xier clapped their hands and said, "Ran Ran, you are so smart. Why didn't we think of that?"

Although Ranran is the youngest, the adventures at Wangxiang River and at the foot of Cha Ming Mountain have allowed this little sister to establish an insurmountable prestige in front of her two senior brothers and sisters.

They just followed Ranran's idea without thinking!

Thus, amidst the sneers and laughter of fellow cultivators, the Trial Stone was crowded with an unprecedented number of three people.

Then the three of them stood in formation, concentrated, listened to Ranran's command, and used their luck to lift the stone.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one, and the strength of the three Xishan rookies combined should not be underestimated. The formation itself has the effect of adding strength, so a stone that a single person cannot lift, can be lifted up by the three of them when they use their energy.

Ran Ran stretched out his fingers with one hand to force out his power, and at the same time he focused on his two fellow disciples and said, "Hold on, don't lose your energy, use the Lotus Step, and enter the sect in stages!"

After hearing Ranran's words, the three of them moved on the lotus flowers, like a rotating lotus, and flashed into the door one after another.

When Ran Ran was the last one to enter, the trial stone fell with a bang, and the three disciples of Xishan passed the test together.

As the boulder hit the ground with a loud thud, the three little ones screamed, clapped their hands, and stomped their feet in excitement.

When Ranran proposed this, the onlookers first sneered and then gradually stared in astonishment.

Mu Ranwu stared at the girl's lively smile and felt her heart skip a beat. She even held her breath for a long time.

After the three people passed the test, Wei Fang was the first to come to his senses and shouted, "That doesn't count! You three were clearly cheating!"

When he shouted like this, the others also shouted loudly, indicating that these three people were not qualified to proceed to the next level.

Ran Ran turned to look at them, puzzled: "Strange, are you the examiners? The inscription next to the trial stone clearly says 'Those who lift the stone can pass', but it doesn't say that only one person must lift the stone every time! We have all passed!"

Qiu Xier and Gao Cang also said confidently: "We are brothers in Xishan and are in harmony. We are willing to overcome the test together. Unlike you, you are all hiding your own tricks and playing tricks. You watched your inexperienced fellow disciples die, but you were unwilling to give them any advice in advance!"

This statement clearly had a hidden meaning, and everyone looked at Wei Fang. Wei Fang's face tightened, and he rushed forward to teach Gao Cang a lesson.

However, the Xishan School practiced Monkey Kung Fu, and each of them was very skilled in light Kung Fu. They jumped onto trees and dodged nimbly, and even made faces at Wei Fang.

Finally, Mu Qingge spoke up to smooth things over: "Alright, since they have passed the trial stone, they have passed the test. There are still levels to go to the swimming pool. This is just the first level. True gold is not afraid of fire. There is no need to be too anxious."

What she said was very tactful. Not only did she help Ranran and the others out of trouble and gain their favor, she also hinted that they were just using some opportunistic methods and did not have any real strength. Even if they passed this level, the remaining levels would be enough to eliminate them.

Everyone is now in a hurry to rush to the next level, so they don't bother talking to those rookies from Xishan. After all, the people they really fear are Wei Fang, Mu Qingge, and that unknown black-faced boy from Kongshan.

These people are truly powerful and masters who can pose a threat!

Because of the precedent set by Xue Ranran and her friends, those who had not passed the test before also tried to form a team to lift the stone together. Their foundation was better than that of the Xishan School, but the formation that required everyone to work together could not be practiced in just a few days, so the effect was not as good as one person's luck.

Now, the rest of the people were convinced. Although the Xishan Sect was full of idiots, they really relied on their hard-earned skills to lift the huge rock.

So the dozen or so people who had passed the level finally stopped besieging them. After glaring at the three of them, they all went to the next level.

The black-faced boy from the Kongshan School seemed to be unfamiliar with the other fellow disciples. He did not walk with them, but walked slowly behind them alone.

As Ran Ran walked, she came to his side. The boy suddenly turned his head and looked at her, his eyes were somewhat dark and unclear, revealing a very unfriendly look.

Ran Ran was eating dried sweet potatoes. Seeing the boy glaring at her, she thought he was hungry, so she handed the snack bag to him: "Hey, if you want to eat, just grab it yourself!"

The boy was stunned. When he saw her handing over the dried sweet potatoes, he looked at the bag meaningfully, as if he was afraid that Ranran had set a mousetrap in it.

Seeing that he was on guard, Ran Ran simply grabbed a handful and handed it to him: "Eat it, I made it myself. You can't buy such sweet dried sweet potatoes anywhere else."

At this time, the black-faced boy slowly reached out and took the dried sweet potato, but he did not eat it. Instead, he put it in his pocket.

Ran Ran took the opportunity to ask, "May I ask what your name is, and what is your rank in Kong Shan?"

The black-faced man finally smiled, looked at her inquiringly, and began to speak, but his voice was very low, as if pouring out from his throat, and he said indistinctly: "My last name is Gui, and my first name is Baqian."

It seems that Brother Gui Baqian has just joined the Kongshan Sect. As a new disciple, he has such strength to pass the trial stone alone. No wonder other Kongshan disciples don't like him very much, and the intention of ostracizing him is obvious.

Ranran also felt a little sympathy for Brother Baqian, so he took the initiative to give him a handful of dried sweet potatoes.

Tianmai Mountain is very majestic. It takes two or three days to climb the mountains in the north. Moreover, Tianmai Mountain is famous for its steep terrain. So after passing the first checkpoint and climbing a short section of the mountain road, the sky gradually darkened.

Most of those who were able to pass the test had already started practicing fasting to a higher level, so it was no problem for them to not eat or drink for just a few days.

According to their sects, they each rested in an open space halfway up the mountain, waiting to continue climbing the mountain the next day.

But in the pitch-black silence of the mountains, the three children of Xishan made a fire and started barbecuing.

No matter where Ranran goes, he always makes clear arrangements for eating first.

The marinated chicken legs were cut into pieces and put into the pig stomach bag. The pig stomach filled with soup did not need to be unwrapped. It was covered with mud and buried directly in the charcoal fire. Soon, the aroma of meat came. Qiu Xier also had five-spice sesame baked cakes in her bag, which went perfectly with the chicken!

When it was time to eat, the little white tiger suddenly appeared. It turned out that it had followed us all the way. Although Tianmai Mountain is very selective about who can enter the mountain, it has no restrictions on birds and animals.

Ran Ran picked a large leaf, rinsed it with the water bag he carried with him, put some cooled meat on it, and let the little tiger start eating.

The little tiger has recently developed a problem with cleanliness and doesn't like to eat raw food. It also seems to have entered the fasting period and doesn't eat much. But when it sees Ranran eating, it will also eat a bite.

However, the three persons and the tiger ate with relish, but the fragrance disturbed the meditation of their fellow Taoists.

The people who were not very hungry while meditating, smelled the aroma of the chicken and suddenly felt their intestines start moving rapidly.

I don’t know what these good-for-nothings from Xishan are doing, but the smell of the spices is so unique that it makes your mouth water and you have to swallow hard.

At this point, the twins from Kongshan Sect were not happy. Wen Bingqing and Wen Yujie came over and kicked out their fire, cursing at the same time: "What the hell did you make? Are you trying to disrupt our practice? If you want to eat, go back home!"

Ranran was quick and dodged away with his chicken leg and pancake in his hand.

The twins' names sounded innocent, but they were so domineering that they wouldn't let anyone eat dinner. Gao Cang's big cake was kicked away, and he couldn't help but scold immediately: "Why is there so many sluts in the Kongshan Sect? You don't want to eat, but you don't want to let others eat?"

Qiu Xier was also very angry and rushed forward to slap the sisters' faces, but Ranran stopped them.

After all, the three of them are no match for the outstanding disciples of the Kongshan Sect in terms of strength. If a real fight breaks out, they will be the only ones who suffer.

However, the little tiger's temper was not something that could be controlled by humans. He just kicked his hind legs and attacked the Wen sisters silently.

The two sisters were caught off guard and their necks were scratched, leaving bloody marks. They were so angry that they drew their swords and wanted to kill the beast.
