Are you addicted to fairy? Just give it a try!.

The white clouds are long and the sky and the earth are vast.

The vast mountains are like an endless ocean, connecting heaven and earth, with no end in sight, only green mountains as waves and green plants as foam.

It is full of spiritual energy, with curling green smoke, animals and beasts moving among the rocks, and monks with tied hair walking in the mountains and forests. Every move contains the natural rhythm of Taoism. They are obviously masters who have attained the Tao and intelligent immortal birds and beasts. No matter who sees it, they will be amazed at what a blessed place it is. If a cave could be opened here, wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing?

"Is this the main gate of the Shenxiao Sect?"

Looking at the quiet and elegant scene before him, Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, this place is not grand.

Compared with the Negative Star Demon Palace, the geographical features of the mountains and rivers here can only be described as ordinary.

There is no mountain high enough to reach the moon in the sky, nor is there a canal deep enough to catch turtles in the sea.

But it is this vast and ordinary-looking mountain range that gives Zhang Wei a sense of elegance and independence.

Zhang Wei saw countless beautiful sceneries along the way.

The Cangyun Sect's thousands of floating islands, the Snow Emperor City's self-contained world, and the Fuxing Demon Palace's thousands of demons worshiping the sky are all beautiful sights.

But although these views are beautiful, they are like eating a luxurious meal. It’s okay once or twice, but if you eat too much, you will get sick of it.

At this time, the scenery of the mountain range where the gate of Shenxiao Sect is located is like a bowl of clear soup noodles prepared for you after a hard socializing. Although it does not have the delicacies of mountains and seas on the banquet, it is the most soothing, making you feel that this clear soup noodles is much more delicious than those delicacies on the banquet.

Zhang Wei nodded, then patted Cong Yun on the forehead, and told him to continue flying towards the gate of Shenxiao Sect.

Ever since Zhang Wei and his party successfully broke through the blockade of the Biyuan Sea with the help of Ying Ning and returned to the Xinghai Region, Zhang Wei explained the situation to the monks from the Snow Country who were in charge of the Xinghai Region. After receiving the dividends from the Black Sea over the past ten years, he led a group of people to the Daqi Immortal Dynasty without stopping.

Because he needed to use the teleportation array of the Da Qi Immortal Dynasty to cross a distance of billions of miles to reach the location of the Shenxiao Sect.

During this period, a very interesting thing happened.

After Zhang Wei and his party arrived at Pinghai City of the Da Qi Immortal Dynasty, the Pinghai King who controlled the local area suddenly fell ill and declined the audience with Zhang Wei and others. However, in order to make friends with them, he sent people to offer them cultivation resources worth 1 billion taels of gold so that they could use them with confidence.

This made Zhang Wei feel strange.

After all, he made Pinghai King Jiang Xinghua pay tens of billions of taels of gold a few years ago. Logically, he should be angry. Even if he doesn't show up, it's no big deal. If he does, it would be best if they can meet and laugh it off.

But why did you give me ten billion taels of gold without showing up?

I've never heard that the mighty King Pinghai is so cowardly.

Or is it that you, King Pinghai, have too much money and are burning it?
But Zhang Wei couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, getting 10 billion taels of gold is more real than anything else, so just think of it as King Pinghai investing in them in advance.

After being teleported to the capital of the Daqi Immortal Dynasty through the Pinghai City teleportation array, Zhang Wei and his party temporarily separated.

Because we will take different paths on the journey ahead.

Chi Lian has been away from the Wenxin Sect for so long, even though he has a master who is not very serious, he still needs to report back to the Wenxin Sect.

Qun Yao and Yu Xianlong need to go to Jiange to participate in the trial. After all, returning to Jiange is the primary goal of them as disciples of Yulong Mountain.

And Huai Zhu...her original intention was to follow Zhang Wei to the Shenxiao Sect, but she had not practiced the Shenxiao Sect's skills, so there was no possibility for her to join the Shenxiao Sect for further studies.

Besides, everyone else has their own way to seek the Dharma. It’s impossible for a “village girl” from a remote place like Huaizhu to not make any progress, right?
So Chi Lian wrote a letter in the capacity of a disciple of the Wenxin Sect and asked Huai Zhu to take it to Shennong Valley to give it a try.

Shennong Valley is also one of the seven sects in Dongzhou and a major alchemy sect. Its research on wood-attributed spiritual roots, bodies, and pharmacology can be said to be the best in Dongzhou and even the entire vast southern continent.

Even if the Wenxin Sect had a disciple like Chi Lian, he would not dare to say that his attainments in alchemy would surpass those of Shennong Valley in the future.

If Huaizhu could enter Shennong Valley, it would be a great fortune for him!

So even though he was reluctant to leave, for the sake of a better tomorrow, Huaizhu still said goodbye to Zhang Wei and resolutely embarked on the teleportation array to Shennong Valley to study.

As for the other disciples who came from the five regions, they naturally went to their own schools.

So far, Zhang Wei has only Cong Yun as his mount, his disciple Zhang Baozang, and another...

"I see, that's the main gate of the Shenxiao Sect!"

Ying Ning, who was riding on Zhang Wei's shoulders, pointed into the distance and said.

Zhang Wei looked in the direction Ying Ning pointed.

Suddenly, a big lake appeared among the vast mountains.

It is said to be a big lake, but in fact, with Zhang Wei's divine sense and eyesight, he cannot see how many miles the lake stretches for.

I just feel that this lake is boundless.

It is even possible that it is larger than the entire Five Realms!
The direction that Ying Ning pointed to was a protruding triangular cliff on the edge of the lake. The cliff didn't look big, but there were hundreds of black spots of various sizes on it, and at the end of the cliff was a three-arch stone archway.

The archway is not gorgeous and looks like it is made of the most ordinary bluestone carvings and masonry.

But after the sculpture was completed, it exuded an aura of majesty everywhere, so much so that even when Zhang Wei just looked at it from a distance, he felt a sense of nervousness that made his heart stop.

The reaction of Ying Ning is more obvious.

"Well……"

Ying Ning's face showed a nervous expression. She subconsciously shrank her body, hugged Zhang Wei's head tightly, and warned in a low voice: "This stone archway... is very dangerous. Don't make trouble here. I feel that if we dare to move rashly, we will be killed instantly, and no one can save us!"

Zhang Wei said helplessly: "I know this, but can you please get off me? How can we make others see us like this?"

Ying Ning refused directly.

"No, I'm afraid of death. Without you as their registered disciple to look after me, I'm afraid they will treat me as an evil heretic. I heard from some monsters in the Monster Domain that the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect are stubborn and more stubborn than donkeys!"

Zhang Wei: "..."

Just as Cong Yun approached the mountain gate, gathering places of living creatures appeared in the vast mountains below.

Even in that big lake, there are scattered islands, large and small, with living creatures on them.

These creatures are all vassals of the Shenxiao Sect.

The Shenxiao sect also does not prohibit marriages and funerals.

But the descendants of most disciples cannot be directly accepted into the sect.

It’s not that the Shenxiao Sect can’t afford to support so many people.

It’s just that the sect’s top leaders simply think that doing so will cause the sect to evolve into a power field where major blood-related families or clans compete with each other.

Therefore, even if someone from the Zhengzi Banner of the Shenxiao Sect wants to join the sect, unless it is an extremely special situation, he still has to go through a series of tests with others.

However, most of them did not meet the admission requirements of the Shenxiao Sect, and these people were unwilling to leave the Shenxiao Mountains, so they simply multiplied and lived outside the mountain gate. Eventually, they evolved into such gathering areas and became vassals of the Shenxiao Sect. While providing fresh blood for the Shenxiao Sect, they were also responsible for entertaining other cultivators who wanted to join the Shenxiao Sect.

And the residents of these towns are not ordinary people.

They are all cultivators with some accomplishments!
In other words, this is a fairy city one after another!

And because the spiritual energy here is as rich as that of the Five Realms' cultivation world, ordinary Qi-refining cultivators can build their own foundation even without the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, so the number of high-level cultivators here is innumerable. Even the Negative Star Demon Palace at the time was far inferior to this place!

Therefore, after seeing the situation here, Zhang Wei couldn't help but think of the saying "Mountains are not famous because of their height, but because of the immortals living there."

Just when Zhang Wei arrived at the mountain gate of the Shenxiao Sect, the Qianlong Academy in the nearby fairy city was recruiting students once every ten years.

So Zhang Wei saw quite a few flying boats along the way.

On the boats, there were mostly cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm or Purple Mansion Realm. Apart from these high-level cultivators, most of the rest were young children with small knots on their heads. When they saw Cong Yun coming on the clouds, one of them widened his eyes.

"Look, look, there's a Qilin over there!"

A child stretched out his hand, pointed at the sky and shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of the children nearby.

Children are naturally active, and there is not much entertainment on the boat. When they saw the strange beast, they immediately lost their activity and looked in the direction of Zhang Wei.

Again, Cong Yun’s strength may be questionable, but his appearance is absolutely top-notch.

Especially after his trip to the Demon Palace and refining the Dragon Blood Fruit, his original dragon characteristics are also transforming into a real dragon. Now, at first glance, people who don't know the truth would really think that Cong Yun is a certain species of water unicorn.

"Put your hands down immediately! That's the Golden Core Demon King! Don't offend him!"

On the boat, a cultivator quickly patted the child's hand, and then looked in the direction of Cong Yun with fear and trepidation. Although he was in the middle stage of foundation building, he was well-informed and had seen several Purple Mansion masters, but their auras were not even one-tenth of the "Qilin" in front of him.

It can be seen that this is a legendary demon king!
There is also a loft on its back, which means it is also a mount!
To use a Jindan Demon King as a mount, unless one is the second generation from a large family or a powerful force, one is qualified to do so. Otherwise, only a great cultivator in the late Jindan stage can subdue it with tremendous magic power.

No matter which one it is, it is not something that a small foundation-building cultivator like me can offend.

"Golden Pill..."

The foundation-building cultivator looked at Cong Yun who was gradually going away with envy and thought to himself.

According to legend, if one has the Golden Core cultivation level, he or she can formally join the Shenxiao Sect, and then he or she will reach the sky in one step!

……

On the cliff, Cong Yun slowly landed on the ground. As soon as its huge body arrived, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

After realizing that Cong Yun was actually a Golden Core Demon King, everyone's pupils shrank at the same time.

The Shenxiao Sect recruits disciples every three hundred years.

However, these disciples cannot all be selected from the branch sects under its command, otherwise it will easily lead to the situation where the powerful family forces the sect to regress in development.

Therefore, every time the Shenxiao Sect recruits students, it will specifically allocate a portion of the places for independent cultivators.

But even so, there are still too many people and too little porridge.

After all, Shenxiao Sect is one of the seven golden brands in Dongzhou.

Even though there were relatively few people practicing thunder magic, the number of cultivators who wanted to join the Shenxiao Sect from the entire Dongzhou and even other large regions was like carp crossing the river, and there were simply not enough places available.

So in the eyes of these "candidates", everyone else is a competitor!
Now that they saw a strong man who could ride the Golden Core Demon King as a mount, these people naturally became interested.

So the moment Cong Yun landed, a handsome young man riding a white crane came to Cong Yun.

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to worship the Divine Sky?"

The young man's cultivation was at the middle stage of the Golden Core, which had already surpassed the entry threshold of the Shenxiao Sect. The spiritual crane under his crotch was at the late stage of the Purple Mansion, and it was emitting its own spiritual light, which showed that it was also an alien species.

Moreover, he looks to be no more than 500 years old, with abundant vitality. He must be a favored child of heaven in their local area.

But even so, he was still frightened when facing Cong Yun, and even the spiritual crane under his crotch was trembling!
But Cong Yun did not embarrass the man, but slowly lowered his head. Only then did the young man see that someone was sitting on top of Cong Yun's head.

I saw a handsome and tall young man sitting cross-legged on Cong Yun's head, followed by a young man with dangerous hairline and dark circles under his eyes, and a cute little girl on his head.

This combination... is so weird.

"That's right. I wonder if you are the deacon of Shenxiao Sect who is responsible for recruiting disciples?" Zhang Wei asked, bowing.

The young man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No, if I were a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, I would have put on the Seven Stars Robe by now. Why would I still be waiting here, drinking the west wind and staying in the bright moon?"

Then the young man bowed and asked, "I am Helian Bei, from the Helian family of Qingping Mountain. May I know your name? Where are you from?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Zhang Wei, this is my disciple Bao Zang and my wife Ying Ning. As for where they came from... the sect has been destroyed, so it's better not to tell. I am considered a rootless cultivator."

After hearing Zhang Wei's introduction, Helian Bei looked at the infant on Zhang Wei's head, and then looked at Zhang Wei with a strange look in his eyes.

But he didn’t say anything.

After all, the world of cultivating immortals is so vast, what strange things are there?

Zhang Wei's style is still considered fresh.

He had seen some beast cultivators who liked to be with gorillas... Ugh...

However...a rootless cultivator...has a family to support.

It is estimated that his sect was destroyed and he escaped by luck.

However, such people are often wealthy. After all, they have the background of a sect, which makes them much more comfortable than real independent cultivators like them who have to rely on themselves for everything.

Helian Bei looked Zhang Wei up and down for a few times, then asked with a smile: "So it's Brother Zhang, it's fate that we meet. I also have some experience in talismans. If you want to buy talismans in the future, you can come to me!"

"sure……"

Zhang Wei smiled and cupped his hands, as if he was totally unaware of Helian Bei's little thoughts.

At this moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the three-arched stone archway, which instantly attracted the attention of all the monks present, and they stood up one by one.

The next moment, six Jindan late stage True Men wearing seven-star robes, led by a Yuanying early stage True Lord wearing purple, walked out of the void and appeared in front of everyone.

"The deacon is coming out! Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'll go first!"

Helian Bei said in surprise, then left Zhang Wei behind and went to meet the seven deacons of the Shenxiao Sect with the others.

Zhang Wei laughed in silence, but didn't say anything. Instead, he took the Yingning Ning off his head, told them to stay quiet, and walked into the crowd alone.

At this time, the inner sect disciple who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul said, "My fellow Taoists have come from afar to my Shenxiao Sect, I believe you are here to seek the true scriptures, so I will not waste any more words, and will mainly introduce to you the trial process of my Shenxiao Sect to recruit disciples.

This trial is divided into three levels. The first one looks at your background, the second one looks at your cultivation, and the third one looks at your state of mind. If you pass all three levels, you can officially become a disciple of our Shenxiao Sect!

Next, please find my six junior brothers to register. After registration, you can directly enter the Sanxiao Gate to accept the trial."

As he spoke, the Nascent Soul disciple waved his hand.

Seven tables and chairs appeared in the open space. I found a table and chair closest to the inside and sat down, making tea as if no one was there.

The remaining six Jindan disciples found their seats and sat down, then took out a jade book and said, "Please don't crowd, line up properly. If you are not a human, please go to the special channel on the far left, where you will be checked."

Everyone present is a top talent in the Golden Core Realm.

Although they are more or less arrogant, they also understand the principle of judging the situation. In front of the Shenxiao Sect, their insignificant cultivation is nothing.

So they lined up obediently, and some alien creatures that were obviously not human also walked obediently into the special passage.

A real person in the late Jindan stage working as a clerk would naturally be extremely efficient, but Zhang Wei did not queue up, but went directly to find the cultivator in the early Yuanying stage who was in charge of the place.

Helian Bei, who was in the team, was immediately shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly whispered, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, come back quickly! Why are you looking for this Yuanying senior instead of queuing properly?! This is not the small place of your sect!"

He was not worried about Zhang Wei, but he was simply afraid that Zhang Wei would offend the dignity of the Shenxiao Sect and cause him to be implicated.

However, Zhang Wei gave Helian Bei a carefree smile in return, and then, while Helian Bei looked desperate, he walked straight up to the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Shenxiao Sect.

"Ok?"

Lou Qingyuan, who was drinking tea, was startled. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Wei and said, "My friend, I am not responsible for registration here. Please queue up honestly and don't try to be clever!"

In Lou Qingyuan's opinion, Zhang Wei was the kind of guy who tried to stand out from the crowd in order to attract their attention and enjoy extra care.

He knew this kind of person.

It seems that he was called a little fairy, a simple man or something like that.

It is said that some sects in small places would encounter one or two of these people every time they recruited new disciples, which made the person in charge very annoyed. I didn't expect that I would encounter one too.

I don’t know if people like this have become stupid because they have read too many novels.

However, based on the high quality of the disciples of Shenxiao Sect, Lou Qingyuan still gave them kind advice, hoping that Zhang Wei could turn back from his wrong path.

However, Zhang Wei took out a token and said, "I am Zhang Wei. Senior Zhan Xingzhi of Qingtian Peak accepted me as a registered disciple. He told me that I can take this token to find him when I come to the sect. Please inform him."

"Um?!"

Lou Qingyuan was stunned, looking at the Divine Sky Order in disbelief, then looked up at Zhang Wei and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? Those who can be accepted as registered disciples by the head of a peak by bypassing the sect rules are all outstanding people. You..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt the breath coming from Zhang Wei.

The peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul… one level higher than himself.

"Gudong..."

Lou Qingyuan swallowed his saliva, then quickly stood up as if his butt was equipped with springs, respectfully let Zhang Wei sit in his seat, and said, "Senior brother, please take a seat!"
