Chapter 161 Liu Yaonian's Entrance and Inner Sect Examination
Chuangong Pavilion!
Gu Jiuchen brought Liu Yaonian here and saw an old man basking in the sun, looking very comfortable.
"Elder, this is my new disciple. Please help him with the admission to the sect."
Gu Jiuchen bowed and said politely.
The old man heard it and slowly opened his eyes. After seeing that it was Gu Jiuchen, he seemed to have seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. However, he didn't care about it and asked, "What is the spiritual root and what is it called?"
"Four spiritual roots, Liu Yaonian!"
Gu Jiuchen reported a number and a name. He hid Liu Yaonian's spiritual root and didn't tell him.
After hearing that it was four spiritual roots, the old man lost interest. Disciples with such spiritual roots were only qualified to enter the outer gate. Then he raised his hand and took a token. After injecting information on it, he gave him a cloth bag.
"Done!"
Very casually, then closed his eyes and entered the state of rest.
He didn't even look at Liu Yaonian. If he had looked carefully, he would have found something different about her.
Although he couldn't see through her spiritual roots, he could see through her cold constitution. She was an excellent practitioner of ice skills.
"Thank you, elder."
Gu Jiuchen saluted and left with Liu Yaonian.
Halfway through the journey, Liu Yaonian asked in confusion, "Master, didn't you say I was a natural spiritual root? How did I become a four-spiritual root?"
Her big eyes were very beautiful, and her naturally beautiful face gave people a soul-stirring feeling.
"Be low-key, don't reveal the truth, it's easy to provoke enemies."
Gu Jiuchen blinked and said, "This is your identity token. From now on, you will be a disciple of the Shangxian Sect and a disciple of me, Gu Jiuchen."
Liu Yaonian took the cloth bag and a token, and was pleasantly surprised. She listened to whatever her master said.
Now she is sixteen years old. Although many people start practicing since childhood, practicing at this age is not a fear for people with natural spiritual roots.
She will definitely be able to build a foundation before she turns 20.
Gu Jiuchen is confident that if he cultivates her with all his strength, he can help his apprentice build a foundation in four years, because he not only knows how to make pills, but also has spiritual milk.
This is a treasure for cultivating immortals. For geniuses with spiritual roots, the absorption will be faster.
The spiritual roots themselves can cultivate very quickly. If there are enough resources, the cultivation speed can soar all the way, shocking everyone in the sect at that time.
After returning to the outer sect, Gu Jiuchen asked Liu Yaonian to familiarize herself with it first. In the cloth bag, there are the sect's entry-level exercises, as well as some of the sect's rules, etc.
And he has to take the assessment of the inner sect first. After becoming an inner sect, he can open up his own cave. After having his own cave, it will be better to cultivate with Liu Yaonian.
Otherwise, leaving her to perish in the outer sect is somewhat irresponsible.
It is not his character to accept her as a disciple and ignore her.
Sect Assessment Pavilion.
All outer disciples who want to be promoted to the inner sect need to come here for assessment. Only after passing the assessment can they be promoted to inner disciples.
After Gu Jiuchen came here, he saw that there was no disciple around, which seemed a bit deserted.
It seems that usually, there are few disciples who want to be promoted to the inner sect, or those who should be promoted have already been promoted.
Relatively speaking, there are still very few outer disciples who want to become inner disciples. Among a thousand outer disciples, only less than a hundred can be promoted to inner disciples.
So this assessment pavilion will seem relatively deserted. Gu Jiuchen didn't care. After walking in, he immediately saw an elder.
After seeing Gu Jiuchen, his eyebrows raised and he was a little surprised. At this time, there were actually disciples coming to the assessment. It was really strange.
He couldn't believe it, but after taking a look at Gu Jiuchen's cultivation, he suddenly widened his eyes.
"Ninth level of Qi Refining?"
He was a little unsure, because he was confused, like the ninth level of Qi Refining, but not quite.
He was a little confused. Since he became the assessment elder here, he had never seen such a strange thing, just because Gu Jiuchen was not at the ninth level of Qi Refining at all.
He is the legendary Qi Refining Level 10, even if the other party is an elder, he can't see through it.
Only the Jindan ancestors can have the ability to see through the essence at a glance, and the foundation building elders can't do it.
"Reporting to the elders, the disciple has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, which meets the cultivation limit for the assessment of the inner gate."
Gu Jiuchen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
He didn't say that he was at the tenth level of Qi Refining, because that was a legendary realm, and even he himself didn't know it. If he said it out, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
As a hard-working person, he needs a sect, but at the same time he doesn't want to be restricted by too many sects, so it's better to hide it.
"Very good, this cultivation level could have entered the inner gate directly, but since you came here, just take the assessment."
The elder was immediately happy when he heard that he was really at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
You know, the general Qi Refining Level 7 may not be able to pass the assessment, but if it is Qi Refining Level 9, there will be absolutely no problem.
And Qi Refining Level 9 can still enter the inner gate directly, but Gu Jiuchen didn't know it.
Otherwise, he could have saved this step. Now that he was here and the elder had said it, he could not refute it and could only accept the test.
"Go, it's an illusion inside, there are mecha warriors in the illusion, all of them are puppets of the seventh to eighth level of Qi Refining. As long as you can kill five of them, you can pass the test."
The elder said to Gu Jiuchen, facing a huge vortex in front.
That vortex, the teleportation gate of the real illusion, as long as you step into it, you will be teleported to another space, and then a mecha warrior will appear.
Gu Jiuchen did not hesitate and stepped in directly.
After entering, the inside suddenly changed, countless clouds and mists spread out, and twenty mecha warriors suddenly appeared in front.
But as the mecha warrior approached, Gu Jiuchen was stunned. The strength shown by the mecha warrior was not as the elder said, the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining.
This is a mecha warrior of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"Damn, is it because my cultivation is too strong, this mecha warrior will also improve accordingly?"
Gu Jiuchen was full of doubts, but for these puppets, there is not much intelligence and evil dead things, he is not afraid at all.
Even if the foundation building appears, he is not afraid, and he will be afraid of this mecha warrior of Qi Refining.
The old man outside, however, was smiling, and there was a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.
In front of him, he could see everything in the illusion.
The reason why the mecha warrior in this illusion was able to improve his cultivation was because of his arm. He just wanted to see how capable this ninth-level Qi Refining disciple was.
If he couldn't kill the puppet, it would be fine. He would still let him be promoted to the inner sect, but in this way, he could only be given a most ordinary inner sect disciple.
And once Gu Jiuchen could kill five heads, he would give him a good inner sect disciple.
So it depends on Gu Jiuchen's strength. He looked at the illusion with interest, and his eyes didn't leave. It was just a momentary curiosity.
For hundreds of years, this was the first time he met a ninth-level Qi Refining disciple who came to the inner sect for the assessment.
If other outer sect disciples reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, they would come to the assessment without stopping, hoping to enter the inner sect and become inner sect disciples in one fell swoop.
The inner sect's spiritual energy is not comparable to that of the outer sect, and the benefits are not comparable to those of the outer sect.
So no one would wait until the ninth level of Qi Refining to come for the assessment.
