After a small episode, everyone crossed the bridge in an orderly manner.
Some were trembling with fear, some were calm and composed, and some were chatting and laughing with their companions, but this golden bridge alone eliminated one-third of the people.
They are all mortals who have not yet entered into spiritual practice.
When they reached the other side of the Golden Bridge, everyone who had crossed the bridge was placed in a circular area paved with bluestone.
This is the real foot of Mo Shuang Fairy Mountain.
From here, you can see the whole picture of Mo Shuang Mountain. The distribution of this small mountain range is quite interesting. There is a main peak in the middle, surrounded by six side peaks on the outside, and they are connected by suspension bridges built with iron cables.
Those with good eyesight can even see some huge buildings on the main peak.
On the high platform surrounded by the bluestone, the outer sect elder Wang Liufu stood on the right, while another thin, smiling middle-aged monk holding a white jade pipe stood on the left.
On the sides of the two people, there were two roads extending up the mountain, but pointing in different directions. This made the crowd stunned and there were also sounds of whispering and discussion.
"Those who wish to enter the inner gate should go to the left."
The middle-aged monk holding a pipe glanced at Wang Liufu with a smile and said in a leisurely tone.
Not to be outdone, Wang Liufu spoke up afterwards.
He pointed to the road beside him and said:
"All mortals and those who have not reached the Qi training stage, if you wish to enter my outer gate, please go to the right."
The crowd's chatter immediately grew louder.
What is this for?
When I heard about the talent selection ceremony before, it didn't say that there were two options for joining Mo Shuang Mountain.
Moreover, local cultivators and some mortals all know that the outer gate of Mo Shuang Mountain is just for show. Everyone has worked hard to come here, but they are still assigned to the outer gate. This is just a deliberate trick on people.
I really want to enter the outer gate.
Wouldn't it be enough to just go to Wang Liufu and spend money to buy an identity?
Seeing that the crowd did not move, Wang Liufu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
The middle-aged cultivator next to him almost laughed out loud. It seemed that his Junior Brother Wang's "good reputation" in the Fengming Country's cultivator circle was truly known to everyone.
"The outer sect of Mo Shuang Mountain has cleared up the chaos and started a new reform. Our outer sect already has the Mo family's weapon-making skills, alchemy techniques, and killing techniques!"
Wang Liufu suppressed his embarrassment, waved his whisk expressionlessly, and said loudly:
“There are also cultivators in the Divine Realm. Elder Cha Sanbao, the Grandmaster of Alchemy, has been transferred to the outer sect to take charge. Today is the talent selection ceremony. Regardless of whether they are ordinary cultivators or not, they will be treated equally as long as they enter our outer sect.
After entering the outer gate, practice diligently.
There will be a small competition for the outer sect a year later, and the winner can still enter the inner sect."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and a spot of light popped out. In the air in front of him, the twenty-three rules of the outer sect were formed. The words floated in the air so that everyone in the crowd could see them.
It even lists the specific external contributions and exchange rules.
Each item is listed clearly, simply and crudely.
This caused a commotion among the crowd.
"No way? Five hundred contributions can be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill? A top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill only costs ten contributions per bottle?"
"A cultivation method that can be cultivated to the peak of the True Realm, and a matching killing spell? Only one thousand contributions?"
"Look! There are magic weapon blueprints at the top! There are even rare precious medicines like Ling Yi Bao Yuan Dan. With these, breaking through the spiritual realm is only a matter of time, right?"
This set of released outer sect regulations completely abandons the tender and affectionate explanations, does not involve those fancy moves and word games, and gets straight to the point right away.
The only thing missing is to write the six words "Those who enter the outer gate will be rewarded" clearly.
Elder Liufu was also forced to do so.
It’s because the reputation of the outer sect of Mo Shuang Mountain was so bad before.
But no matter how helpless it is, this simple and crude plan is extremely attractive to ordinary people who have little experience and to the helpless and wandering cultivators.
Cautious people are still hesitating and watching, while decisive people have already started to act.
"Uncle, it says here that as long as you enter the outer sect, you will be given marrow cleansing pills and a magic weapon for storing rings. Is that true? Are they so generous?"
"Haha, nephew, this is just a way of bribery. You really underestimated the integrity of our generation of cultivators. Nephew, you have great talent, don't waste your time in the outer sect.
Just go to the inner gate and you will definitely gain something."
"Hmm, so that's how it is. Hey? Uncle, just keep talking, don't move, why are you going to the right? Isn't it the method of bribery? This is the moral code of a monk!"
“Ahem, I, your uncle, started practicing cultivation when I was in my twenties and have been training for seven years. I started late to begin with. If I don’t hurry up, there will be no hope.
I am currently in need of a foundation-building pill to help me break through. My family was poor before, but now... As for the ethics of a cultivator, that thing can't be exchanged for a sweet foundation-building pill."
"Uncle, wait for me. I'll go with you. It will be good for us to have someone to take care of us outside the gate!"
Such ridiculous exchanges continue to happen among the crowd.
In just a few breaths, more than a dozen mortals walked out of the crowd and stood at the entrance of the mountain road on Wang Liufu's side. Money can make people move, and the appearance of these ten people was like a signal.
The crowd immediately dispersed.
It also finally made Elder Wang smile.
Twenty breaths later, there were already thirty or forty people standing on Elder Wang's side, including mortals and cultivators. This made him very satisfied, but unfortunately.
Most people stayed on the left mountain road.
Those who have lofty ambitions are obviously determined to enter the inner gate.
Wang Liufu ignored them and did not force them.
This time, the inner gate will only accept twelve people, and one spot has been taken in advance. Most of the remaining seventy or eighty people are destined to serve as supporting roles.
It is better to stay in the outer gate first, and then be promoted to the inner gate through the outer gate. This is the safe way.
Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to wait.
Not everyone can think of this level.
Everyone who crossed the Golden Bridge felt that they had a great advantage, but the only one who really had an advantage was Jiang Xia.
Elder Wang shook his head, turned around and bowed to the middle-aged monk holding the pipe.
explain:
"Brother Song, please continue. I will take my disciples back to the outer sect first. They have prepared a simple test, which will take quite some time."
"Well, go ahead, Junior Brother."
The middle-aged monk did not even look at Wang Liufu, and said in a gentle tone:
"Teach them the rules and don't let your outer sect cause trouble again like before. If you don't do it well, Elder Sanbao's good reputation will be ruined by you."
This person is Song Fan.
Elder Liu Chu's direct disciple, Luo Lin, Liu Yun and Song Fan's master, is really a man of his kind. Both of his disciples are powerful, and this master is no less capable than others.
He would make something fancy even when simply taking a puff of cigarette.
He first exhaled wisps of smoke like white lotus, let it dissipate and fall, and then turned into lotus leaves, flowing around the body before dissipating.
The right hand is behind the back.
The angle of holding the pipe with the left hand is perfect.
The long gray hair was tied up behind her head in a casual manner, swaying in the wind. On both sides of the hair, there were two strands of long hair hanging down, which were braided into small braids at the ends.
Her face is well maintained. Although she is thin, her eyes are bright.
The well-cut Taoist robe was covered with gilded patterns, causing spiritual energy to reverberate around his body like a small tide.
There are also the corners of clothes swaying exactly like Chu Qiao's.
Unique style.
Watching Wang Liufu use the large wooden kite magic weapon to take away all the outer disciples at once, Song Fan immediately shook his head slightly. Although he didn't care just now, he could see it clearly.
The mortal cultivators who join the outer sect are all those who lack talent and spiritual charm.
It took him more than twenty breaths to walk across the golden bridge. With such talent and intelligence, even if he did not enter the outer sect, he was destined to fail the remaining three methods of selecting talents for the inner sect.
Junior Brother Wang is really confused.
In order to maintain his power in the outer sect, he would accept any materials.
If he were to be so reckless and accept some useless people as his disciples, they would be unable to do anything in the future and instead the sect would have to spend resources to support them, which would cause trouble sooner or later.
This Wang Liufu is really mentally unstable. He is desperate and is trying all kinds of methods to cure his illness. How can he succeed in this way?
Song Fan commented in his mind with disapproval, then turned the pipe in his hand again. An agate bead on the tassel pendant below the white jade pipe glowed faintly.
"Next, it is the second method of selecting talents for the inner sect. Everyone, go ahead."
As Song Fan's voice, neither sad nor happy, rang out, lighting up the surroundings like a light source. A faint light appeared under the bluestone ring in front of the platform, as if the divine talisman of teleportation had been activated.
In just a moment, everyone disappeared from the spot.
The original entrance at the foot of the mountain, the rolling sea of ​​clouds, the golden bridge in the fog, etc. have all disappeared. Those who have passed the first level were transferred to an extremely spacious hall in a dizzying manner.
The surroundings are made of wood and the structure is simple and plain.
There is a square wooden table in front of each person, just like a private school for children. Looking out the window, you can see the bamboo forest outside the door.
"Ahem"
Someone in front
At the front of the hall stood two handsome guys.
One wore a black robe, and the other wore a moon-white Taoist robe.
The former was gentle and handsome, with a smile on his face.
The latter was a little more stern, but there was a polite yet distant smile on his lips.
Perhaps this is the mutual attraction between handsome guys. When the two of them stood together, their beauty was reflected in each other's eyes, which made the eyes of several girls in the crowd light up.
"Hello everyone, my name is Shi Rui, I am an inner sect disciple of Mo Shuang Mountain, my teacher is the elder who teaches skills, and the one next to me is Chu Qiao, my teacher is the elder who teaches law enforcement.
First of all, congratulations to you all for passing the first level. Now, the second step of selecting talents will be presided over by the two of us."
Shi Rui, who was standing at the top, introduced himself to everyone confidently.
While smiling at Jiang Xia in the crowd, a mortal woman next to Jiang Xia misunderstood and excitedly whispered to the sisters beside her:
"That handsome examiner smiled at me. I knew I had it in my bag this time! He was so handsome, like he walked out of a painting."
These words left Lao Jiang speechless.
Sure enough, even in this Ku Mu Realm overflowing with spiritual energy, it is still a damn world where looks matter.
"My Mo Shuangshan family inherits the Mo family tradition, which places great emphasis on the skill of making instruments. The second method will test your understanding in making instruments."
After Shi Rui finished his opening remarks, Chu Qiao, who had her hands behind her back and maintained a perfect posture, moved her fingers slightly, and the magic circle in the room was activated, temporarily isolating the surrounding spiritual energy.
Immediately, several cultivators with higher Qi training levels turned pale.
The closer one gets to a breakthrough in each realm, the closer the cultivator's connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes. This is why cultivators will choose to go into seclusion in a hut when they are about to break through.
In addition to asceticism, it is also necessary to avoid accidents such as the current one.
"On each person's table, there is a set of Mohist-specific utensils that can be combined into one."
Shi Rui took over Chu Qiao's words, took out a large hourglass from behind, and said to the people in front of him:
"Use the materials on hand to create as complex a pattern as possible within the time limit of the hourglass. Each material must not be less than twenty.
If you can form more than ten diagrams, you will pass the level."
The third prince smiled at everyone and turned the hourglass in his hand.
"Time, start!"
The exquisite wooden box in front of everyone opened at the same moment the hourglass turned. Lao Jiang took a look at the small wooden blocks of various shapes piled inside, and he immediately curled his lips.
"The Mohist version of Lego blocks, well, you guys are creative."
As he complained in his heart, Lao Jiang picked up an L-shaped wooden bar and placed it in front of him.
The artificial eye scan was completed in an instant, and the three-dimensional simulation calculation in the chip was started, and hundreds of complex shapes were scanned out immediately.
“Begin screening.”
Lao Jiang gave instructions in the chip and moved the five fingers of his left hand at the same time.
“On the condition that the materials in front of us are exhausted.
I will select the ten most complex three-dimensional models and let passers-by see my strength, so that these idiots won’t think that I, Jiang, cheated.”
"Come on, it's time to show some real skills."
