Beiyuanzhou City.

The longest queue outside the city gate was like a long dragon, but this did not affect Shi Yi and his group's entry into the city, because they had the assessment token of Taiyi Taoist sect assessment, which was enough to allow them to avoid queuing in a long line and waiting to enter Beiyuanzhou City.

Shi Yi and his group took a special passage where there were not many people, so the entire process of entering the city was relatively fast.

The people queuing up, who formed the longest line, were all ordinary people. They held simple passes in their hands and could only queue up to enter. The soldiers guarding the city would conduct a detailed inspection before letting them into the city.

The relatively shorter team consists of people dressed in luxurious clothes, holding special travel passes in their hands. These special travel passes are not only expensive, but also require certain connections to obtain.

The shortest line is composed of powerful people with distinguished status, who also have exclusive identity tokens on them. These are a privileged group of people, and it is relatively easy for them to enter and exit the city.

There were also some people who did not need to queue up and rode directly into the city on horseback. No one dared to stop them because the clothes on these people were proof of their identity and did not need to be checked at all.

Song Jing has the Taiyi Dao Gate assessment token in his hand, and he can also enjoy privileges, so they can enter the city more efficiently.

Beiyuanzhou City looks very big from the outside, but once you get inside, you will realize how big it is.

Various teahouses and pubs are built very tall, the streets are busy with traffic, and there are many small vendors holding big umbrellas on the open space. It is very prosperous and lively.

The prosperous atmosphere hits you as soon as you enter.

Although the entire city is built on the mountain, the road does not feel steep, but rather very flat. Only after a certain distance can you feel a slight tilt.

The construction styles in the city are relatively novel, and the architectural layouts are all based on specific specifications.

Shi Yi could clearly see traces of formations on these houses. It was obvious that a formation was arranged on these houses.

According to the information Shi Yi learned, these formations all came from the Taiyi Taoist sect.

When Beiyuanzhou City was rebuilt, it was also related to the Taiyi Taoist Sect.

Shi Yi and others continued to move forward. They walked on the main road until dark, but they still had not reached the Taiyi Taoist examination center. However, Song Jing had already arranged accommodation for them in advance, so they didn't have to worry about ending up on the streets.

As for the journey to the assessment office, it is not very far. According to Song Jing, if we set off tomorrow morning, we will arrive at the assessment office by noon.

The entire Beiyuanzhou City is too big, and it will take a long time to reach the destination. The road they want to take is only a small part of the entire Beiyuanzhou City. It will take a long time to walk through the entire Beiyuanzhou City.

As for the location of Taiyi Dao Gate, they actually saw it when they were outside the city. Taiyi Dao Gate is located at the highest point in the city, that is, on Wangyue Mountain. This is also the first of the mountains on which Beiyuanzhou City is built, and it is also the top of the mountains.

If ordinary people want to enter Wangyue Mountain, they need to become disciples of Taiyi Dao Sect. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to even approach the foot of the mountain. If they want to force their way in, the outcome will not be good.

Shi Yi and others were going to the assessment site, which was an assessment point established by Taiyi Dao Sect outside Wangyue Mountain, not on Wangyue Mountain. There was a certain distance between the two.

"After the Taiyi Dao Sect's assessment is over and I join the sect, I'll use a drone to take photos of Beiyuanzhou City!"

Shi Yi followed Song Jing into the inn, thinking silently in his heart.

When you arrive at a new place, especially one where you will live for a long time, you naturally need to be familiar with the local terrain.

In the future, if you need to buy something or do something in the city, you will have a clear idea of ​​the route.

Especially when encountering danger and it is inconvenient to travel, he can also deal with those dangers by being familiar with the terrain.

As soon as he entered the inn, Shi Yi saw two familiar faces.

These two people had participated in the Qingyuan Temple Fair before, but when the younger generation discussed Taoism, because the time for discussion was limited and the major Taoist temples also had arrangements, Shi Yi did not discuss Taoism with them, but he had an impression of it.

When Taiyi Taoist Elder Gu Qianqiu was preaching, these people were all in one area listening together.

Later, the Wusheng Sect attacked the city, which disrupted the Qingyuan Temple Fair and also deprived the final communication link among fellow practitioners.

After the Qingyuan Temple Fair ended, all the Taoist temples left Qingyuan County.

In the inn, the young people were eating with their elders on the first floor of the inn. When they saw Song Jing and Shi Yi coming, they all looked up.

Especially when their eyes fell on Shi Yi, the two familiar faces that Shi Yi had seen looked at him twice more, obviously they also had an impression of him.

When Shi Yi was preaching at Gu Qianqiu, his enlightenment and great improvement in his Taoist skills happened in full view of everyone. Naturally, he was quite conspicuous among the audience.

Some people may not have seen it with their own eyes at the time, but when their elders mention it later, they may also talk about Shi Yi.

It can be said that there was no Wusheng Sect causing trouble at that time. According to past situations, Gu Qianqiu would also give some rewards to show the benevolence of Taiyi Sect and to build his reputation. This was also a very common behavior.

It can be said that the emergence of the Wusheng Sect destroyed some of Shi Yi's opportunities.

However, Gu Qianqiu's one-year promise also gave Shi Yi some opportunities.

Gu Qianqiu gave the things, but whether Shi Yi can get them in the end depends on Shi Yi himself.

"Brother Shidao, long time no see."

Song Jing also saw an acquaintance.

After the other person stood up, he took the initiative to greet him.

To be honest, he was also a little surprised because he didn't have that many acquaintances.

Ascetic monks don’t have that much energy to make friends. They basically make friends when doing tasks in the temple.

"Brother Song, it's been quite a while since we last met."

"I remember the last time we met was also in Beiyuanzhou City."

Shi Yuanbo was also quite surprised to see Song Jing.

The two of them came to Beiyuanzhou City because they received tasks from their respective Taoist temples. Their tasks were similar, so they joined forces to do them together, and they had some friendship.

However, the relationship between the two parties is not that deep, otherwise they would not have been out of contact for such a long time.

The Taoist temples where they are located are not close to each other, but they can communicate through letters.

"Brother Shidao, are you bringing your disciples here to participate in the Taiyi Dao sect assessment?"

Song Jing saw the young and beautiful girl next to Shi Yuanbo and asked.

If you come to Beiyuanzhou City at this time, you will either have a Taoist temple mission or participate in the Taiyi Taoist assessment.

In addition, the girl next to the other party is more likely to participate in the assessment of Taiyi Dao Sect.

There is nothing taboo about this kind of thing, just ask directly.

"This girl, Ling Fei, a junior from the clan, has been diligently studying and practicing since joining our Ziyin Taoist Temple. She has finally reached the standard for the Taiyi Dao assessment, so I personally brought her to participate in the Taiyi Dao assessment."

"I hope she can pass the Taiyi Dao Sect's assessment and become a disciple of the Taiyi Dao Sect."

Shi Yuanbo glanced at Shi Lingfei beside him and said slowly.

Participating in the Taiyi Dao assessment is not a secret that needs to be concealed, just say it openly.

Furthermore, his presence here was also to help Shi Lingfei make some friends. Good elders always prepare some connections for their juniors, which might be useful at a critical moment.

Of course, even if it is not used, it does not affect anything.

"Is this also the case for Brother Song Dao's trip?"

Shi Yuanbo looked at Song Jing, then at Shi Yi beside him, and asked with a smile.

He arrived at the inn earlier than Song Jing and others, and happened to meet other people who participated in the Taiyi Taoist examination. They made an appointment to have dinner together on the first floor of the inn, so that these young people who participated in the Taiyi Taoist examination could get to know each other.

If these younger generations become disciples of Taiyi Dao Sect in the future, perhaps they will be able to help each other.

There may be some benefits to dealing with it in advance.

In a sect, you cannot fight alone, but need a group of like-minded people.

Of course, it would be even better if you have a backer.

But it’s hard to find a solid backer.

"Well, this is my disciple Shi Yi, who just happened to meet the standards for the Taiyi Dao sect assessment."

"I personally brought him here to participate in the Taiyi Dao Sect's assessment, hoping that he can pass this assessment."

When talking about participating in the Taiyi Dao assessment, Song Jing became more talkative.

He failed to meet this qualification at first, but the disciples he trained did meet this qualification.

Even a better start than others.

Although this can only be achieved if Shi Yi can pass the Taiyi Dao assessment.

Song Jing was still very satisfied with Shi Yi's progress in cultivation. He also saw Shi Yi's cultivation of the Taoist Sanqi Divine Fire. Even if Taiyi Dao Sect included a separate Taoist examination in this assessment, there would be no problem at all.

Because Shi Yi's current level of cultivation in the Taoist Three Qi Divine Fire is enough to allow him to have an extremely outstanding performance, which in turn gives him extra points in the assessment.

Previously, he was worried that Shi Yi would lag behind in the Taoist examination, but now he is not worried about it at all.

If there were no strange items in this Taiyi Dao assessment, he felt that Shi Yi would have no problem passing the Taiyi Dao assessment.

Of course, he did not tell Shi Yi these words, but asked Shi Yi to prepare well.

Only by always keeping a positive attitude can you pass the Taiyi Dao assessment more smoothly.

Otherwise, if you know in advance that you can pass the test, you may become arrogant and lazy, and may end up failing the test!
This possibility is not high, but Song Jing still helped Shi Yi to eliminate it in advance.

"Greetings, Senior Master."

Seeing this, Shi Yi greeted politely.

Song Jing’s colleagues are naturally considered his predecessors.

Strangers are divided by their level of cultivation in Taoism, but friends of elders, who are seniors, are not necessarily divided by their level of cultivation in Taoism.

"It just so happens that we are all gathered here to participate in the Taiyi Dao Sect's assessment. Brother Song, would you like to join us?"

Shi Yuanbo looked at Song Jing and extended an invitation.

Their gathering this time was not for themselves, but for the younger generations, and it was also to pave the way for them.

Although this method is a bit new, it may be useful.

Sometimes, new paths can have unexpected results.

"This"

Song Jing hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

It’s not that he wanted to refuse, but he didn’t know who was the organizer of the party and whether there were other purposes.

Getting involved rashly is not necessarily a good choice. You may end up disrupting the situation and ruining other people's good deeds.

If he was the only one involved, he could agree to it, but there was also Shi Yi. If he offended someone, the blame would eventually fall on Shi Yi, so he needed to consider Shi Yi.

Song Jing likes to practice hard and doesn't like to deal with these trivial matters, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to deal with trivial matters.

It’s just that between the two, he prefers to practice and doesn’t want other things to disturb his practice.

"Brother Song, you guys can join us too!"

"That's right, let the young people communicate with each other. Maybe they will become fellow disciples in the future. It's a good opportunity for them to get to know each other in advance."

Seeing Song Jing's expression, two more people extended an invitation, obviously knowing what Song Jing was worried about.

At the same time, the words also indicate that it was just a simple gathering and nothing else was involved.

"In that case, we, the master and the disciple, are sorry to bother you!"

Upon hearing this, Song Jing realized that he was overthinking it, so he agreed directly.

There happened to be an empty seat, so the two of them sat down.

Several young people also looked at each other.

Among them, the two people Shi Yi had met were both from Xuanqing Temple, which was also the Taoist temple that held the Qingyuan Temple Fair in Qingyuan County.

These two were among the younger generation of Xuanqing Temple, and many Taoist temples had lined up to discuss Taoism with them. They were friends, and they knew the power of Xuanqing Temple, so they would wait in line to discuss Taoism with them.

Now these two people came to participate in the Taiyi Dao assessment, obviously to condense the Yin Spirit and break through the realm of driving away objects.

This progress in cultivation is already very fast!

You may gain more from discussing with them than with others, no wonder they have to queue up to wait!
Although they are all Taoist temples, there are still differences in the foundation of each Taoist temple. The Taoist temple in the county town naturally has a deeper and stronger foundation than the Taoist temple in the county town.

Several elders were chatting, and Shi Yi and others spoke very little. They just listened most of the time and would say a few words when they were asked occasionally.

After the party, the young people learned each other’s names through the introduction of their elders, which was considered a preliminary acquaintance!

In the inn, in addition to these people, Shi Yi also saw people from other Taoist temples. He did not know those young people, but he had seen some of the elders leading the team.

Shi Yi has a photographic memory. He can recognize anyone he has met once. This is why he recognized the two young men from Xuanqing Temple at a glance. They were the leaders of the Xuanqing Temple. He had never seen them before and did not know them.

When Shi Yi saw this situation, he knew that the inn arranged by Song Jing was obviously one of the inns prepared for participating in the Taiyi Taoist assessment, otherwise there would not be so many Taoist masters from Taoist temples gathered here.

After all, under normal circumstances, these people would not gather in an inn in such a large city like Beiyuanzhou.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the entire Beiyuanzhou City is too big. It is difficult for those who come to participate in the Taiyi Dao Gate Assessment to reach their destination in one day. Therefore, some inns will be prepared for those who participate in the Taiyi Dao Gate Assessment.
