Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 238 Yunhua Sect
Inside the inn, Lin Qianxing looked at the Ascension Order in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Although he didn't know why this thing appeared at his door, there was no doubt that this was his opportunity.
This is exactly what he needs right now.
The disciples of Yunhua sect are divided into five levels: true disciples, core disciples, inner disciples, outer disciples, and menial servants.
Those who possess spiritual roots and hold the Yunhua Sect's Ascension Order can directly join the Yunhua Sect without taking any assessment and become inner disciples. Among the disciples, their status is second only to the core disciples and true disciples.
The benefits and treatment that inner disciples can enjoy are not comparable to those of menial disciples and outer disciples.
Lin Qianxing now only has a pseudo spiritual root with acquired dual attributes of fire and earth. After joining the Yunhua Sect, the best he can do is become an outer disciple, and he will definitely be at the bottom among the outer disciples.
Now that he has the Ascension Order, he can save a lot of time in development.
But everything has its pros and cons.
If he used this order of ascension, he would be unworthy of the position and would most likely get into a lot of trouble.
For example, the disdain of fellow students, the jealousy of others and so on.
So Lin Qianxing was considering whether to seize this opportunity.
After some thought, Lin Qianxing felt that this opportunity was worth taking.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this is definitely a situation where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Moreover, he is acting within the rules. Even if someone wants to target him, it is unlikely that they will plot against him openly.
In addition, the most important thing is that Lin Qianxing considers himself a player. Even if he accidentally messes up, he still has a chance to try again. At most, he can just regard this time as increasing his gaming experience.
…
Time passed, and soon it was the day when the Yunhua Sect held the Ascension Conference.
Lin Qianxing also arrived at Shengxian Cliff early.
This seems to be the fixed enrollment location of the Yunhua School's "Admissions Office" in a nearby city. After years of operation, there is already a market-like place here.
At this time, the place was crowded with people, some were doing business, some were watching the fun, some wanted to participate in the Ascension Conference, and some were taking the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
If it weren't for the outer disciples of the Yunhua Sect maintaining order here, this place would have been in chaos long ago.
At this time, several beams of light flew over from the sky and slowly stopped above the Ascension Cliff, causing a sensation.
Thanks to his strong physical attributes, Lin Qianxing has pretty good eyesight and can see the situation above.
There were six people in total.
Four of them stood behind the leader, a man and a woman.
The two leading men and women were both quite handsome. They wore the Yunhua Sect uniform with gold-rimmed cloud patterns and looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.
The four monks behind them also had extraordinary appearances, but their status seemed to be lower than those of the two.
At this time, the leading man took out a mirror, and then he activated the mirror. A mysterious light suddenly shone on the people under the Ascension Cliff, and then some marks appeared on the foreheads of a few people .
A red and light brown line also appeared on Lin Qianxing's forehead.
“Those with spiritual patterns between their eyebrows can ascend the ladder to immortality, and the rest should disperse.” said the man who activated the mirror.
As he spoke, the woman beside him took out a magic weapon that looked like a staircase and threw it forward. It turned into a staircase extending from the Ascension Cliff to the ground.
This immortal ladder is the test that the Yunhua Sect uses every time it recruits new members.
The ladder was steep and tilted, and when climbing it one would suffer from the double pressure of mental pressure and physical gravity.
It's a test of your will.
Before coming here, Lin Qianxing had heard about it from many people.
Many sects of cultivation have similar methods of recruiting new members.
It's not something very new.
The Zixia Mountain in Lin Qianxing's memory achieved a similar effect by relying on formations.
"Those with spiritual patterns, please gather in front of the Immortal Ladder."
At this time, the four monks behind the man and woman flew to the bottom of the cliff and began to organize those with spiritual patterns to gather in front of the immortal ladder.
Lin Qianxing was naturally among them.
What surprised him was that among the thousands of people gathered here, only seven people with spiritual roots, including Lin Qianxing, were selected in the end.
Even though there were only seven of them, they actually seemed very satisfied.
It seems that this number has exceeded their expectations.
"Does anyone of you hold the order for ascension to immortality?" At this time, the man above spoke again.
Hearing this, Lin Qianxing pretended to hesitate for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "I have it."
As he spoke, Lin Qianxing also showed the Ascension Order he had obtained earlier.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Lin Qianxing.
The man above stretched out his hand and the Ascension Order in Lin Qianxing's hand flew directly into his hand.
"Yes, it's the Ascension Order of my Yunhua Sect. You don't need to take the test anymore." said the man.
As the voice fell, the woman next to him stretched out her hand, and a ribbon flew out, wrapping Lin Qianxing directly behind them.
"What's your name?" the man asked Lin Qianxing.
"I am Lin Kong, honored to meet you, Immortal Master, Fairy." Lin Qianxing said politely.
"Well, my name is Fan Tingyan, and this is my junior sister Qi Ya. We are both true disciples of our sect. From now on, you will be a member of our Yunhua sect. You can call us senior brothers and sisters. Just stand behind and watch." Fan Tingyan said.
"Yes, Senior Brother Fan." Lin Qianxing nodded honestly and stood behind.
"Is there anyone else holding the Ascension Order?" Fan Tingyan asked again.
After five breaths, seeing that no one answered, Fan Tingyan nodded and said, "In that case, you can ascend the Immortal Ladder."
As soon as the voice fell, the remaining six people rushed up the ladder.
They started walking smoothly, but after just ten steps, they began to show signs of fatigue.
At the twentieth level, two people who had only one color of spiritual pattern between their eyebrows stopped moving forward, and it seemed very difficult.
Lin Qianxing judged from the spiritual patterns on their foreheads that these two people seemed to have acquired wood attribute spiritual roots and acquired fire attribute spiritual roots.
So do people with strong spiritual talents have more advantages in this regard?
No, or rather, it is precisely because of their spiritual talent that they can climb the ladder more smoothly?
Among the remaining four people, two have acquired dual-attribute spiritual roots, one has acquired three-attribute spiritual roots, and one has acquired four-attribute spiritual roots.
Not long after, after the fortieth level, the two people with acquired dual-attribute spiritual roots stopped.
At the sixtieth level, the person with the three acquired spiritual roots stopped.
Only the last cultivator with the four acquired spiritual roots was still climbing.
When he reached the 80th step, he was obviously having trouble going on, but he still gritted his teeth and climbed up five more steps, only stopping at the 85th step.
"Well, that's good. Although his spiritual roots are only acquired four-attribute spiritual roots, his will is extraordinary and he is expected to break through to the crystallization realm in the future." At this time, Fan Tingyan finally nodded and showed an expression of approval.
Lin Qianxing looked at the stairs, there were a total of 140 steps.
According to the situation, an acquired single-attribute spiritual root can only climb twenty steps. With each additional attribute, it can climb twenty more steps.
They correspond to the five elements and yin and yang respectively.
Willpower and physical strength can break some of these shackles, allowing you to climb a few more steps.
"Junior sister, please remove the ban. They can no longer climb up." Fan Tingyan said to Qi Ya beside him.
"Yes." Qi Ya nodded and used some hand gestures to remove the restrictions on the immortal ladder.
Fan Tingyan looked at the six people on the Immortal Stairs and said, "The restriction has been lifted. You can enter the Immortal Gate now. Come up!"
Hearing the sound, the six people hurriedly ran up.
Three of them were exhausted and almost crawled up.
Among them are the two people with acquired single-attribute spiritual roots, and the one with three-attribute spiritual roots.
Fan Tingyan's expression did not change, but there was obvious contempt in his eyes for these three people.
Lin Qianxing noticed that the spiritual patterns on their foreheads had disappeared.
It seems that this thing will not last forever.
After everyone came up, Fan Tingyan looked at the two people with single spiritual roots and said, "You two have poor spiritual roots and inferior character. If you join the sect, you can only become menial disciples. It will be difficult for you to achieve success in the future. In this case, do you still want to join my Yunhua Sect?"
One of the two men was dressed in luxurious attire. When he heard that he was to be a handyman, he shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't want to be a handyman."
The other one gritted his teeth and said, "Being a menial disciple is being a menial disciple. Being a menial disciple in an immortal sect is better than struggling in the secular world."
"Well, it seems you have made your choice. " Fan Tingyan nodded.
Immediately, he waved his hand, summoning a gust of spiritual wind that directly sent the richly dressed man back down.
"Fellow junior brothers, let's go." Fan Tingyan said to the four junior brothers who came with him.
Immediately, he waved his hand, and his spiritual power enveloped Lin Qianxing and the other six people, and they and Qi Ya turned into streams of light and flew into the sky.
From the time they arrived until they left, it took no more than half an hour.
The efficiency of enrollment is evident.
Flying in the air, the five people all looked very surprised, but Lin Qianxing had a calm expression and began to think about what to do next.
Fan Tingyan's escape speed was very fast. Even with six people with him, he quickly brought Lin Qianxing and the other six to a misty place.
His flying speed gradually slowed down and stopped in front of a huge mountain.
Fan Tingyan made a hand gesture and a ray of light fell on the mountain peak. The next moment, a wave appeared in front of the mountain peak.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fan Tingyan led everyone and rushed towards the waves.
Lin Qianxing only felt that the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was so abundant. Fairy birds were flying around, and spiritual plants were growing everywhere. From time to time, he could see some cultivators riding magic weapons and traveling through the mountains where magnificent buildings .
"Senior Brother Fan, Senior Sister Qi..."
"Senior Brother Fan..."
Along the way, any monk who saw Fan Tingyan and Qi Ya would stop and greet them.
Fan and Qi would also nod slightly in response.
Judging from this detail, they seem to be quite popular?
Soon, Lin Qianxing and his companions were brought to a huge mountain suspended in the void.
On top of this mountain, there are magnificent buildings. Compared with other mountains, its location seems to be higher, and it is hidden in the core.
Fan Tingyan introduced to Lin Qianxing and the others, "This is Yunhua Peak, the first of the twelve main peaks of our Yunhua Sect. The other eleven main peaks are Feihe Peak, Xuanlong Peak, Piaomiao Peak, Lingxi Peak, Yuhua Peak, Zilei Peak, Yushou Peak, Shenjian Peak, Zixiao Peak, Tianyuan Peak, and Guanxing Peak. You will also have to choose one of the twelve peaks to join..."
After quickly and briefly introducing some information about the twelve main peaks to Lin Qianxing and others, Fan Tingyan also brought the six people to Yunhua Peak.
A disciple carrying a sword came forward and said, "Brother Fan, Sister Qi."
"Junior Brother Gao, these are the newly recruited disciples. Here are their assessment records. Later, I'll have to trouble you to take them to choose the main peak and collect supplies." As Fan Tingyan spoke, he handed a jade slip that was flickering with a faint light to the disciple named Gao.
He paused for a moment, looked at Lin Qianxing, and took out the Immortal Ascension Order and said, "Also, Junior Brother Lin Kong joined the sect with the Immortal Ascension Order. We don't need to assign him according to the assessment record. Just give him the Inner Sect Disciple Badge and let him choose a main peak to join."
"I understand, Senior Brother Fan." The disciple nodded.
