From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 360: Separation from the Immortals
Only a handful of people are chosen, and they are all lucky ones picked out of a hundred.

Chi Yanhong frowned slightly. Even Baiyun Taoist Academy had such a hard time recruiting students with good qualifications, so the situation in other Taoist academies was probably even worse.

"Three people in the first row have passed!"

"No one in the second row qualified!"

"Four people in the third row have passed!"

"One person from the fourth row passed!"

"..."

Zhao Ziyao announced it loudly, and people came forward in rows to be tested, and then returned in large numbers disappointed.

Those who were called out could not help themselves and gathered impatiently in front of the square where Master Chi pointed.

In an instant, the distinction was clear.

The two groups of people faced each other across the marble square, one group was lonely and jealous, the other group was proud and glorious, as if they were in two different worlds.

Joy and sorrow were happening everywhere in the square.

"Huh...huh..."

Chen Li kept taking deep breaths, holding onto the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands to ease her violently beating heart.

There is a team ahead of me, and now it's my turn.

After finally balancing his breathing, he looked with wide eyes, and saw Master Chi standing in front of Wang Shuhuan, shouting, "Step out!"

Chen Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone next to her shook her shoulder, and she came to her senses and followed the team forward.

She was standing on the left side of the row. Master Chi walked over, glanced around, and then walked past her without saying a word.

No chance.

The people around him became visibly depressed.

Chen Li also felt a little uncomfortable and lowered her head.

She repeated a year and gave up the original admission letter from Magic City University. Failure to enter the Taoist Academy meant that she had wasted a year.

"Exit!"

My mind was still in a daze, but my heart had already begun to beat uncontrollably.

In an instant, Chen Li felt relaxed and walked forward.

When she came to her senses and looked to the side, she was already standing in the same line with Wang Shuhuan.

"Congratulations!"

Hearing Wang Shuhuan's low voice, Chen Li finally came to her senses and her whole body and mind began to rejoice.

The two children couldn't control themselves at all. They encouraged each other and were very happy.

When Chen Li looked at the dark crowd opposite again, her expression changed unconsciously.

The efficiency was very high. The first batch of 20,000 people who entered the mountain completed the verification in about an hour and a half, and 98 people were left.

Zhao Ziyao informed Wang Xin at the foot of the mountain that the second batch of candidates could be sent up the mountain, while Zhu Ling led the more than 8,000 people down the mountain from another mountain road.

The ninety-eight people who passed the customs were each given a wooden sign and registered in the register.

Wang Shuhuan and Chen Li mingled in the crowd, holding the wooden sign and looking around. When they went down the mountain, they saw the exotic flowers and fruits, strange animals and magical toads in the mountains, and they were all startled.

The ninety-eight people who received the nameplates were naturally delighted, but the vast majority were dejected, and some girls even sniffled and covered their faces and cried.

The crying was contagious. It started with one or two cries, and then they quickly became one after another. Walking along the mountain road, it was like a large group of mourners. Zhu Ling was sentimental by nature, and seeing more than 8,000 people crying, she felt very uncomfortable.
It was pure luck that she embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. Looking back on the road ahead, it was full of mud and sand, worse than that of many people. If she hadn't met Li Yang, even walking in the sun openly would have been a luxury.

He tried to open his mouth several times, but always kept his lips tightly pursed.

As a lucky person, she felt that she was not qualified to appease these people.

With his mind spinning, Zhu Ling could only turn around and look at the ninety-eight qualified candidates holding wooden signs behind him.
"Keep your nameplates safe, don't show off, and don't leave the Baiyun Mountain area. After seven days, when all candidates have been screened by Baiyun, my master will summon you again."

Hearing this, Wang Shuhuan and Chen Li, who were looking forward to their future life in the Taoist temple, were stunned, and then realized a very important problem.
According to today's probability of 20,000 to 100, about 4,000 out of 800,000 people can still pass.

But the enrollment quota of Baiyun Taoist Academy is only 1,800.

This means that there will be more tests after today, and the elimination rate will still be alarming.

With this in mind, many of the 98 qualified candidates were smart and began to feel anxious and worried.

Some smart people saw that Zhu Ling was a gentle person, so they approached her and tried to get close to her.

"Sister Fairy seems to be the heroine in the Baiyun Taoist Academy's recruitment promotional video. I have always liked you, and so do my family members. Can you sign an autograph for me?"

"Sister Fairy, the first level is character, the second level is aptitude, what is the third level?"

"Fairy, can you reveal the topic? Just a little bit will do, so we can prepare a little bit~"

Surrounded by the crowd, Zhu Ling was a little at a loss. He could only purse his lips and remain silent, ignoring everyone and speeding up.
-
It turns out that some things cannot be avoided even if you know them in advance.

After the second and third groups knew that the first hurdle was the hurdle of the heart, they thought that they just needed to control their emotions. However, when they really got into the clouds and fog, those who were supposed to go crazy still went crazy.

This also makes people truly realize what the supernatural is and that they cannot be viewed with ordinary experience.

The second group was even worse than the first, with only 7,300 people making it through the maze.

At Jianzhen Square on the mountainside, the second person to be tested for qualifications was Li Yang. He and Chi Yanhong took turns testing each other.

A small incident occurred during the second batch of posture verification. Little Zhuoma also came up the mountain among the candidates. The small girl looked at Li Yang, and the big pot immediately made the people around her feel discouraged.

Little Zhuoma was very talented and had a good character, but she insisted on going through the entire process like her brothers and sisters. Seeing that little Zhuoma had a childlike character, Li Yang let her do as she pleased.

However, the fact that a young child could enter Baiyun Taoist Temple for selection still caused criticism among many candidates in the square.

Seeing the jealous expressions on the faces of the candidates around him, Li Yang didn't care and didn't explain further.

Cultivating immortals is a reality. With little Zhuoma's aptitude, if Li Yang teaches her personally, she will be able to break through to the innate realm within a year. By then, most of the candidates in the square will probably still be lingering on the stage of inducing qi.

Everything went in an orderly manner, and those who lost control of their emotions after losing the election were quickly brought under control.

The 100,000 people who came on the first day were so numerous that by the time the fifth batch finished, it was already sunset.

There were five batches of 100,000 people on the first day, but only 513 people finally got the nameplates, which made the rest of the people feel very disappointed.

Those who lost the election were helpless and hopeless, and there was constant crying in the resettlement area. Most people went back home, while some who still had a chance were still wandering around the resettlement area.

Unlike the immortals and mortals, what they lost today was not only the chance to enter the Taoist temple, but also the dream in their hearts of riding swords and riding the wind, traveling to Penglai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

Those who received the nameplate knew that there was a final unknown third level of trial to come, and they were also feeling nervous. It was rare to see them popping champagne at halftime.

After a hard day's work, several people from Baiyun Mountain set up the cloud and mist formation and returned to the mountain to rest.

Two sword lights fell directly in front of the Chunyang Palace in the front mountain, revealing their true appearance.

Li Yang and Chi Yanhong were also a little tired. Not only did they have to deal with the candidates who lost control in the maze, but they also had to check the qualifications of each of them one by one. That was a total of 100,000 people.

However, for these two great gods, recovery is just a matter of meditating.

The two walked side by side. Chi Yanhong frowned and looked thoughtful. After a moment, he couldn't help but ask Li Yang:
"Among today's candidates, there is a student named Liu Ming. Have you noticed him?"
