From the fake emperor to the concubine

Baiyun Mountain, Qingyun Sect.

The mountains are filled with ethereal air and the sky is shrouded in clouds and mist, making this place look like a fairyland on earth.

There is a tall stone platform in front of the sect, where the outer sect elder Gao Tong stands.

On the stone platform, flags of different colors are inserted in the center and at various viewing angles. They represent the five elements. People who come on the stage can detect their spiritual roots through the flags.

"Zhao Tianming, the concentration of spiritual roots has reached the standard, and the rating is medium-quality. You are qualified and can enter the outer sect."

"Li Hairu, the concentration of spiritual roots has reached the standard, the grade is top-grade, and you can enter the inner gate."

"Ergou, the concentration of spiritual roots does not meet the standard, and you cannot pass."

Those who came to Qingyun Sect for testing were all children under the age of eighteen from the various prefectures, county governments and villages around the foot of the mountain.

Because after the age of eighteen, the path to becoming an immortal becomes extremely dim.

Even if one's spiritual roots meet the requirements, Qingyun Sect will not accept one as a disciple unless he or she reaches the top grade.

If one wants to be a menial disciple, spiritual roots are not required, and it doesn't matter if one has them or not, but Qingyun Sect usually does not recruit such people.

"Zheng Yi, do you think we can join the inner sect of Qingyun Sect?

I heard that if you enter the outer gate, you can become an official, and if you enter the inner gate, you will be a high-ranking immortal cultivator, and even those officials will have to kneel down to greet you. "

Wang Xing, who was big and strong with a silly smile on his face, touched Zheng Yi's arm with his right hand and said.

"It shouldn't be possible."

Zheng Yi smiled and shook his head.

He looked around and saw that there were no less than a thousand people coming for testing.

But so far, the number of people who can be rated as middle-grade and join the outer sect of Qingyun Sect can be counted on the hands of two, and the only one who can be rated as high-grade is a little girl named Li Hairu.

This little girl has a chubby face and appears to have no spiritual energy at all, but she is born with top-grade spiritual roots and is now the object of envy in everyone's hearts.

"Brother Zheng Yi, you can definitely do it.

When the village chief found you, there were many flames around you, and there were thunderbolts falling from the sky."

Wang Xing looked at Zheng Yi with longing.

Zheng Yi just shook his head.

His right hand unconsciously touched his heart.

He recalled the crucial moment when Cang Yue Yan Huang and he perished together and self-destructed.

He used up all his power of faith and used the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror to open a space channel.

But even so, the power of the explosion still spread to his body. Although he saved his life, he was seriously injured. Even though he possessed the body of a pure human emperor, he still suffered great damage.

The spiritual roots were severely damaged, and it was already good enough to reach the lower grade spiritual roots.

Zheng Yi called out for the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror in his heart.

The next moment, personal information appeared in front of him.

……

【Owner: Zheng Yi】

【Talent; Emperor】

【Lifespan: 25/6980】

【Constitution: Immaculate Human Emperor Body】

[Kung Fu: "Soul-Eroding Poison Refining Sutra", "Nine Yin Return to Life Method"]

……

Looking at the situation above, Zheng Yi smiled bitterly.

He looked around, feeling the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and secretly evaluated in his heart: "The concentration of spiritual energy here is not low, there should be a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage.

But the enlightenment period is unlikely.”

Now his body is severely injured and his spiritual roots are damaged. Without certain resources for cultivation, it is very difficult for his spiritual roots to absorb external spiritual energy independently.

And as long as you can use your fame.

He can then activate the cultivation resources he has stored with him, and with the help of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, he can practice dual cultivation and absorb the innate spiritual energy.

His spiritual roots and cultivation may be able to recover gradually.

In short, Zheng Yi is not much different from ordinary people except that he is physically strong and has greater strength than ordinary people. This is also the reason why he appeared in Qingyun Sect.

"Zheng Yi, Wang Xing."

The voice of the outer sect elder Gao Tong was heard, and the two men stepped out of the crowd one by one and walked onto the stage.

Gao Tong didn't even raise his eyelids. After the two people passed by, he frowned slightly and continued to shout loudly: "The concentration of spiritual energy is low, the rating is low-grade, and it is unqualified."

Both of them received the same evaluation.

After getting off the platform, Wang Xing covered his head with his hands, his eyes slightly red, this honest man almost cried: "Brother Zheng Yi, it's fine if I didn't pass, but how come you didn't pass either?
The village chief will definitely scold me to death when I get back."

Zheng Yi looked helpless.

I originally thought that the other party was sad because I didn't pass, but I didn't expect that he was worried that he would be blamed by the village chief.

Zheng Yi felt a warm current in his heart, patted Wang Xing's arm, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, the hermit has a good plan.

The reason I came to Qingyun Sect this time was not to join the sect.

Even if I can't become an immortal cultivator after returning, it will be easy for me to become an official."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xing immediately wiped away his tears, looked up suddenly, and said in surprise: "Really?"

The two of them walked all the way from Wangjia Village to Qingyun Sect, and experienced many hardships and obstacles, all of which were easily resolved by Zheng Yi. Now, in Wang Xing's heart, Zheng Yi has long been like a leader.

Zheng Yi did not leave the Qingyun Sect gate immediately.

Instead, he leaned against a green rock and waited silently.

In the afternoon, as the afterglow of the setting sun shone down, Qingyun Sect's outer sect elder Gao Tong looked at the remaining disciples on the stone platform and took them away one by one.

With a breeze blowing by.

Everyone hid in the sect and disappeared in just a few steps.

Zheng Yi's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: "It should be an illusion array that changes the senses."

Zheng Yi was in the Starry Sea before.

He learned from many masters and created his own martial arts technique, and he has some understanding of this type of formation.

Looking at the crowd in front of him who had not left just like himself, Zheng Yi's mouth curled up slightly.

Soon, a group of people gathered.

Many of them looked at Zheng Yi and Wang Xing.

The test results of the two of them just now were genuine. Although they did not reach the middle grade, they were also at the lower grade. According to common sense, they could be used to cultivate immortality.

It’s just that he doesn’t meet the assessment requirements of Qingyun Sect, so his path to becoming an immortal is rather dim.

“My two brothers, I am Lu Changhai from the Lu family of Tianyang Valley.

If you two are interested, you can join our Lu family and serve as our external worshippers. You can also enjoy our Lu family's cultivation techniques and certain cultivation resources."

Lu Changhai extended an invitation.

Zheng Yi waved his hand to refuse.

"It seems that fellow Daoist has other good places to go."

Lu Changhai did not look disappointed at all, he turned around and went to recruit other people.

In his opinion, those who were rejected by Qingyun Sect were of inferior qualifications. Even if Zheng Yi did not join, there were still many people in the Lu family who were willing to join.

"Brother Zheng Yi, what should we do now?"

Wang Xing continued to ask.

Zheng Yi walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back.

When he went up the mountain, he had already observed that there were many families waiting on the mountainside.

If the distance is too far, it is easy to miss the opportunity to recruit these people with spiritual roots to expand one's own power; if the distance is too close, it will be a provocation to the majesty of Qingyun Sect.

These small families that rely on big powers don't have the ability or courage to do so.

The reason why Zheng Yi waited was that he wanted more people to come down the mountain so that they would not be too conspicuous.

Waiting halfway up the mountain.

There are not only independent cultivators of the magic path like Zheng Yi, but also some powerful forces.

For these forces.

These immortal cultivators with spiritual roots are more valuable than the flesh and blood of mortals. Although Zheng Yi has the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror and can do whatever he wants when he is powerful, he has to be careful in what he says and does now that he has returned to the time before liberation.

Walk down the mountain road.

"The Li family of Baihua Valley is recruiting! We have cultivation resources, the entry-level Baihua Jue, and three spirit stones every month if you make outstanding contributions.

You can also get a portion of multi-flower honey to help you break through. "

A woman with a charming face, wearing a silver fork on her head and a pink shirt was shouting hard.

Zheng Yi just glanced at her and walked away. It sounded like Baihua Valley was a family mostly populated by women, and had nothing to do with their male cultivators.

Wang Xingze looked at her reluctantly for a few more times and said shyly, "Brother Zheng Yi, that girl is so pretty. You will never see such a beautiful girl in Wangjia Village in your whole life."

"Don't worry, you will marry a wife who is as beautiful as her in the future."

Zheng Yi joked with a smile.

"Brother Zheng Yi, please don't joke with me. I don't have that kind of blessing."

Wang Xing scratched his head and laughed.

Zheng Yi patted the back of his head and continued, "Maybe you'll be dazzled by the choices."

Zheng Yi glanced at the major families around him.

They are extremely enthusiastic when recruiting people.

Although Zheng Yi's spiritual energy was almost exhausted and his martial arts skills could not be used, his golden elixir body still had many magical uses.

soon.

He then took a fancy to one of the major families around him.

This family looks clear throughout, although it is a bit misty, but it is much better than other families.

What he needs now is time and resources for cultivation. As long as he can get through the beginning, the road ahead will be smooth.

Zheng Yi and Wang Xing walked towards that place.

"Wang Lei from the Wang family of Piao Miao Mountain greets the two young friends."

Wang Lei has a gentle face and a friendly smile.

"Brother Zheng Yi is from the Wang family!"

Wang Xing had a simple and honest look on his face and was very excited.

Zheng Yi rolled his eyes.

How can the Wangjia Village in the secular world and the Wang family in the world of immortal cultivation be compared?

He smiled and shook his head, saying, "We are willing to join the Piaomiao Mountain King Family. Please hand over a contract, senior. We are willing to do so."

They also heard the Wang family’s shouting before.

It is not much different from other families: three low-grade spirit stones per month, the introductory technique of Tianyun Jue, and if there are outstanding contributions or the skills meet the requirements, they can become the family's offerings.

Rather than the kind of dispensable external offerings.

Zheng Yi could still see the essence of it.

"Okay, happy little friend."

Wang Lei took out two contracts without hesitation.

Zheng Yi and the other man dripped blood from their fingertips onto the contract, and the contract came into effect.

Afterwards, Zheng Yi took Wang Xing to stand behind Wang Lei's family team.

They waited until it was getting dark, and the young immortal cultivators and those who came to recruit people gradually dispersed, and then the several major families around them left.

Wang Lei turned around and took a look at the team. In addition to him and a few people from the Wang family, there were seventeen immortal cultivators recruited this time, which was a lot more than in previous years.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the family.

"My dear friends, please follow me back to the Wang family. After a while, you can go back to your own homes and have a good chat with your relatives."

As Wang Lei spoke, he raised his sleeves slightly.

A small boat suddenly appeared in the green sleeves.

The hull flickered fluorescently in the blink of an eye.

The palm-sized boat turned into a flying spirit ship that could carry people and landed steadily in front of everyone.

Wang Lei was the first to board the spirit ship, followed closely by the people of the Wang family, and then Zheng Yi and others also found a seat and sat down.

The spirit ship roared into the air.

Many people looked nervous and held on tightly to the planks beside them, fearing that they would fall from the sky.

Zheng Yi's expression remained unchanged and his heart was calm.

Wang Xing, who was standing by, glanced down secretly and his legs began to tremble with fear.

Seeing this, Zheng Yi comforted him: "Close your eyes, this journey will pass quickly."

Wang Lei, who was controlling the spirit ship forward, kept observing the mental states of these immortal seedlings from the corner of his eye.

Seeing Zheng Yi so calm.

He nodded involuntarily.

This kind of state of mind is indeed helpful for spiritual practice.

Although Zheng Yi's qualifications are not the best among this group of people, his character makes people look up to him.

It is always better to remain calm in the face of danger than to panic.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in the air. As night fell, the voice became more eerie.

"Piao Miao Shan Wang family, your immortal seedlings are mine today!"

Along with the hoarse voice, a bloody magic knife was also heard, and the blade chopped down fiercely.

"With your strength in the middle stage of Qi training, you dare to rob my Wang family's immortal seedlings?
You are just a petty thief, but you dare to commit a crime in front of everyone in my Wang family. You don't want to live today!"

Wang Lei's face turned stern, and he took out a middle-grade magic weapon, the Red Flame Sword, and swung it forward fiercely, and a huge wave of fire rushed forward to attack.

at the same time.

The Wang family members behind him quickly took over the control of the spirit ship, and other cultivators also came out to fight.

“Hahahaha, besides me, there are quite a few human-faced moths. It’s enough to give your Wang family a hard time!”

The robber in the dark laughed again, and there was cruelty in his laughter.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Wang family practitioners present changed slightly, and they all retreated back to the spirit ship at an extremely fast speed.

Wang Lei gritted his teeth and could only watch Jie Xiu leave.

He took out several Vajra Talismans from his arms and pasted them all over the hull of the spirit ship.

The human-faced moths rammed the spirit ship frantically, and the high-frequency attacks made a "boom boom boom" sound.

The "bang bang bang" sounds were like the collision of metal and iron. Coupled with the heavy pressure in the air, many immortal seedlings in the spirit ship vomited uncontrollably.

"Damn, this smell is too bad! Can't you just hold on for a while?"

"People have three urgent things, and they can't hold on, big brother!"

The immortal seedlings were in a panic.

“Don’t be afraid, these moths will scatter on their own if they can’t smell the blood.

I just hate that Jie Xiu for daring to do such a wicked thing. Next time, I will make sure he dies without a burial place!"

Wang Lei shouted loudly with indignation on his face.

Zheng Yi's eyes were as sharp as torches. Although they did not emit any light, he could clearly see the human-faced moths around him.

This sudden danger.

Zheng Yi's heart began to beat faster and his mood was like ripples on the surface of a lake.

Faintly, Zheng Yi realized that the bottleneck of his original Jindan stage had loosened a little.

Although it was only a breakthrough from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage, it was undoubtedly a huge surprise for Zheng Yi.

This was the first time he had achieved a breakthrough through his own practice without any external assistance, which was of great significance.

Faced with the situation around him, Zheng Yi did not take action.

he knows.

The diamond talismans pasted all around can last for the duration of an incense stick. (End of this chapter)
