Three days later, at the foot of Qiushu Mountain where Tianzhi Sect is located, a spirit stone platform was set up and spirit rulers and rings were prepared. Under the leadership of the sect's steward, the recruitment of new disciples began.
The Spirit Ruler Ring is used to test one's spiritual roots, and the Spirit Stone Platform is used to test one's aptitude. Under the scorching sun, the people who came to participate in the sect entrance examination lined up for two miles. They had been coming here since sunrise without interruption, and each of them was in high spirits with anticipation in their eyes.
There is one exception.
On a lush tree opposite Ling Shitai, a figure in red lay between the split trunks, one hand supporting his head, the other stuffing a glutinous rice cake into his mouth.
Sweet and fragrant, soft and delicious.
Geng Qi arrived late, having overslept and waking up a bit late. In order to fool Leng Ning Shuang, he even made a trip to the forbidden area of the Demon Realm. Although it only takes him a few breaths to get here from the Demon Realm, the queue had already stretched to the point of being invisible when he arrived. He simply climbed up a tree to cool off and wait.
If the butterfly knew he had sneaked out again, who knows how furious it would get!
He chuckled softly, looked up at the mountain, and thought to himself, "Tianzhi Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the number one sect on the Xuanling Continent. Even a small hill like Qiushu Mountain is a rare sight of its grandeur. The sect is located hidden on the mountaintop, with 999 jade steps leading up from the foot of the mountain. Looking up, it's like a ladder to heaven and earth, reaching straight into the clouds."
The mountaintop is shrouded in spiritual energy, with faint rosy clouds visible, inspiring longing even from afar.
Geng Qi suddenly sat up halfway, squinted at the direction of the mountaintop, and a black dot appeared in his field of vision, rapidly approaching his location. He perked up, stuffed the last bite of glutinous rice cake into his mouth, clapped his hands and sat up. A black crow darted down from the treetop and landed steadily on his arm.
A jet-black Shep Bead fell into his palm. He waved his hand, and the crow on his arm turned into blue smoke and disappeared.
This crow is the manifestation of the spirit of Mount Mu; once something is delivered, it will return to its original form.
Geng Qi lay back down and looked at the bead against the treetop, examining it with his divine sense.
Surrounded by peaks, in a bamboo forest, the man with cascading black hair and flowing robes stood amidst a cloud-shrouded spring, like a reclusive immortal, pure and otherworldly.
Three months had passed since then, and he had people keep a close watch on the Tianzhi Sect without interruption, but he had never seen them once.
He finally got to see him, but he wasn't happy at all; in fact, he was quite depressed.
All that Shepzhu recorded were her backs!
He didn't ask for a full-face shot, but there wasn't a single shot of his profile either!
If you were a photographer in modern times, you'd be fired in a heartbeat!
If the crow knew what he was thinking, it would surely cry out that it was wronged.
It should be noted that the person was gazing at the endless sky. With Rong Yu's cultivation level, it was already extremely difficult to "sneak a picture" from behind. If he flew in front of him, with the white clouds as the background and the black crows drooling over the Shepu Pearl, his purpose would be obvious. He would be a sitting duck for the person!
You might not even get to see their backs.
Geng Qi sighed helplessly. He put away the Shepu Pearl. Even if he couldn't see the person, it was good to see the place where he had lived since childhood.
On Shangxu Peak, clouds and springs pour down from the cracks in the rocks. There is a magic array set up below the peak. The clouds and springs disappear into the valley and disappear without a trace. The entire mountain peak is like a pavilion in the sky, which can be seen but not reached.
Gengqi: Rich people know how to enjoy life.
Just as he was getting angry, a person suddenly appeared under the tree. To show that he was a disciple of the Tianzhi Sect, this person used his spiritual power to move over at high speed, which drew gasps of admiration and envy from the people queuing on the other side.
"Who are you? What are you doing hiding here?"
The girl, around fifteen or sixteen years old, spoke with a sharp voice. Geng Qi lowered his head upon hearing her voice, and the girl's previously arrogant face instantly froze.
The boy lying on the tree had his black hair tied up high, revealing a youthful and innocent face. His eyes were bright and sparkling, and the cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye was more dazzling than the sun. His skin was as white as snow, captivating the soul.
The girl was captivated by what she saw.
Geng Qi glanced down at her, his expression languid: "I'm not hiding, I'm waiting here."
He pointed to the team opposite him, which was still a straight line.
The girl turned her head and, coming to her senses, asked, "Where are you from? Are you here to take the exam?"
Geng Qi nodded: "They came from Sangzhong City, wanting to join the Tianzhi Sect."
"Then come with me!"
The girl haughtily raised her chin, but her eyes couldn't help glancing at the tree again.
Geng Qi quickly responded, jumped down from the tree, and followed behind the girl, a slight smile playing on his lips.
In order to successfully infiltrate, he suppressed his cultivation, concealed his appearance, and even changed his figure considerably. Now, anyone who looks at his bone age would only see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Although his appearance has changed, he is still stunningly handsome.
Everyone loves beauty, and a good appearance can leave a good impression, just like now, it can bring privileges.
He was led directly to the front of the procession and stood in front of the Spirit Stone Platform, a stone platform over ten feet high with black stone edges and a shimmering, colorful interior, like a vast starry sky.
"Senior sister, I brought someone with me."
The girl walked to the spirit stone platform and placed her hands on a makeshift square table. Her senior sister, sitting behind the table, was clearly displeased and said without looking up, "Lin'er, didn't I tell you not to break the rules? Everyone else is still in line, you..."
"Senior Sister Fu Ruo, this one is different. He said he's from Sangzhong City. We've been looking all day and haven't found many with good aptitude. Why don't you take a look at this one first!"
The senior sister named Fu Ruo seemed to be persuaded by her. She lowered her hand from her forehead, looked up without much hope, paused for a moment, and then frowned slightly: "...You came from Sangzhong?"
