Chapter 3: Sect assessment, reaching the 30,000th level of immortality!
Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.
38:57.
He rushed from Zhoucun to the foot of Changchun Mountain, walking along the mountain road and catching up with Luo Yu.
The mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk, so it was delayed for some time and took more than five days.
There is still one and a half days until his next return to Blue Star.
Before traveling back to Blue Star, Lin Chen needs to know more about the world of immortality.
And worshiping the Immortal Sect is undoubtedly the best channel.
"As long as I can attract the country's attention, I can get more help..."
"When the time comes, I will also have a place in this dangerous world of immortality."
Lin Chen walked around the city.
Relying on this city under Changchun gate, a Changchun town was built within ten miles.
In addition to some monks, there are more wealthy businessmen and families among mortals in the town.
They settled in this market town to seek immortality.
But, how difficult is it to ascend to immortality?
Thousands of thirteen- and fourteen-year-old boys gathered in the market, coming from major towns within a thousand miles.
These young men are all here to take part in the Changchun Sect Immortal Miao Assessment.
Lin Chen walked to the innermost part of Fangshi and soon came to an empty square.
After registering his age and name with the examiner, Lin Chen walked to a long mountain climbing step.
The steps are winding and winding, leading directly to the top of Changchun Mountain. You can’t see the end at a glance.
This is the first level of the Changchun Sect Immortal Miao assessment.
Ascending to the 30,000th level of immortality!
Changchun Mountain is 2,400 feet high, nearly 8,000 meters high.
From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, there is only one road, which is these more than 30,000 steps.
The first level of the fairy seedling assessment requires that you walk the more than 30,000 steps to the top of the mountain within half a day.
This is not difficult for Qi refining monks or warriors.
But those who participated in the fairy seedling assessment were all young people under the age of eighteen and not yet practicing.
For a half-grown boy, fourteen or fifteen years old, even if he is young and energetic, it is not easy for him to complete the more than 30,000 steps.
This is an assessment of Xian Miao’s physical fitness and a test of their mental perseverance.
Lin Chen was very tired after traveling for four days.
But he didn't dare to rest too much because today was the last day of Xian Miao's assessment.
He must climb more than 30,000 steps to the top of the mountain before sunset, otherwise he will have to wait another three years...
Drinking an i-3 type stamina potion, Lin Chen felt I feel that my physical strength is recovering quickly.
Start climbing the stairs!
One step, two steps, a hundred steps...
Climbing the steps is not difficult at the beginning and is easily accessible to ordinary people.
Many young people with a free-spirited nature were talking, laughing, and walking quickly, looking very relaxed.
But Lin Chen took it one step at a time, steadily.
He knew that the 10,000 or even 20,000 steps ahead were not difficult for him, and considering his physical fitness as a ninth-level warrior, it was easy for him.
But by the time we reach the last few thousand steps, the mountain is too high and the weather is too cold.
At the peak of seven or eight thousand meters, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, the weather was extremely cold, and there was so much wind on the mountain that even he couldn't take it lightly.
Therefore, conserving physical strength at this moment is undoubtedly the best way.
The sun gradually moved westward, and it took nearly two hours without realizing it.
Lin Chen stopped, adjusted his breathing a little, and drank half of the stamina potion.
"I should have walked almost 20,000 steps... The mountainside where I am now should be more than 5,000 meters above sea level..."
Lin Chen looked back at the bottom of the mountain. At this point, there were fewer and fewer people climbing the mountain.
Most of the teenagers who were laughing and joking before were exhausted and fell behind. They even went back the same way to prepare to go down the mountain.
“Although people in this world have excellent physical fitness, there are still only a few young people who can climb more than five thousand meters in one breath...”
“To be able to climb this far, their physical fitness must be different from Ordinary people, this is also a sign of having spiritual roots..."
Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.
The first step to ascend to the 30,000th level of immortality is a selection of mental perseverance and a test of qualifications.
People who can climb to the top of the mountain not only have great perseverance, but also have good physical fitness and usually have spiritual roots.
Only by possessing spiritual roots can one step into spiritual practice.
Of course, this method of testing qualifications is not accurate. There will be a more accurate spiritual root test after the first level.
“I hope my luck is not too bad, at least I must have the qualifications to practice...”
Lin Chen only rested briefly before continuing to climb the stairs.
In this world of immortal cultivation, half of the mortals are qualified for cultivation, that is, they have spiritual roots.
Among the half of qualified mortals, most of them have "inferior spiritual roots" that have extremely low sensitivity to spiritual energy, making it difficult to practice.
On top of the inferior spiritual roots, there are miscellaneous spiritual roots.
Among the five spiritual roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, those with three or more attributes are called mixed spiritual roots.
It is still difficult to cultivate miscellaneous spiritual roots, but it is much better than inferior spiritual roots.
On top of the mixed spiritual roots, there are dual spiritual roots.
Double spiritual roots are already a rare qualification.
Further up, there are true spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots, and heavenly spiritual roots...
Lin Chen does not expect to be the one true spiritual root in a million, as long as he can reach the miscellaneous spiritual roots Root qualification.
With the support of the entire martial arts world behind him, he can still make a name for himself in the world of immortality!
……
An hour later. The sun has gradually set in the west, and there is less than an hour left before the end of the assessment.
At this moment, Lin Chen was still climbing steadily towards the top of the mountain.
"After climbing all the way, there are fewer and fewer young people who can reach this point..."
Lin Chen did some calculations and found that he should have climbed more than 28,000 steps by now.
The altitude is over seven thousand meters.
From his position, he could already see the top of the mountain, with only three or four thousand steps left.
Along the way, Lin Chen has surpassed many teenagers who climbed the mountain in advance.
Recently, there are only a few young people who can be seen on thousands of steps.
“The last stretch of the journey is undoubtedly a great test of perseverance...”
“With these 30,000 immortals alone, I am afraid that 99% of the teenagers will be wiped out. ..."
Lin Chen drank another half of the stamina potion.
At an altitude of more than 7,000 meters, the air is extremely thin, and ordinary people cannot stay for a long time, let alone exercise strenuously.
At the same time, the low temperature of dozens of degrees below zero also makes people shiver with cold.
Fortunately, Lin Chen was wearing an A-57 light combat uniform. The good thermal insulation effect prevented him from feeling too cold.
Lin Chen continued to walk towards the top of Changchun Mountain step by step.
Half an hour later, there were only the last less than a thousand steps left.
Of the thousands of young people who took part in the assessment today, only a few can reach this point.
At the top of Changchun Mountain, several Changchun Sect elders also noticed Lin Chen.
"This boy is steady and steady. He climbs the mountain without rushing or slowing down. He has a good temperament..."
"My physical fitness is also excellent. He should be a good immortal seedling with spiritual roots."
An elder wearing a Taoist robe stroked his beard with admiration in his eyes.
“Yes, this time the fairy seedling assessment lasts for seven days, and there will be no less than 40,000 mountaineers.”
"Only less than 300 people can reach the top of the mountain..."
"This young man is a good young man. What is his name?"
As the Changchun Sect elder asked, Several disciples handed over the list.
"Lin Chen..."
The elder frowned slightly and said with regret:
"It's a pity that seventeen years old is a bit old...I missed the best age for practice."
After hearing this, several elders on the mountain expressed regret.
A monk is different from a warrior.
Martial artists often start practicing martial arts after they are sixteen years old, because their bodies are still developing before then.
If you practice martial arts too early, it may affect your physical potential.
But in the world of cultivating immortals, the best immortal seedlings will start practicing when they are twelve or thirteen years old, or even eight or nine years old.
After all, the road to immortality is long. The sooner you start and lay the foundation, the more you can see a broader landscape in the future.
At this time, an old man wearing a green robe said:
"However, it is not necessarily...seventeen years old is a bit old, but it still meets the sect's assessment of eighteen years old The following requirements.”
“If this young man has good spiritual qualifications, he will be able to do it in time...”
After hearing the old man's words, the other elders did not reply, but their minds were clear.
This green-robed old man is Han Jihai, the master of Danfeng Peak of Changchun Sect. His cultivation has reached the foundation building stage.
Unfortunately, he failed to break through the core formation stage in the past few years, and he is a bit old, so he probably wants to recruit a closed disciple to inherit the position of peak master.
Changchun Gate is divided into five peaks, namely Jianfeng, Zhenfeng, Qifeng, Fufeng and Danfeng.
In addition to Jianfeng, which is controlled by the sect leader, Changchun Gate is famous for its formation, so the formation peak is the most prosperous.
In comparison, Danfeng is the weakest among the five peaks.
There are only a few alchemists in the entire Changchun Sect, and they are all disciples of Han Jihai.
"Haha, then I would like to congratulate Master Han in advance on his new disciple..."
Master Zhenfeng said with a smile. He is a middle-aged man who looks gentle and gentle.
Compared to Lin Chen, he was more optimistic about the young men who had reached the summit before.
……
Changchun Mountain, nearly 8,000 meters above sea level.
Lin Chen was already out of breath. Several hours of climbing had greatly exhausted his physical strength.
Coupled with the lack of oxygen caused by the high altitude, Lin Chen almost looked like stars.
But Lin Chen gritted his teeth and continued climbing up.
"Huh, there are only a hundred or so steps left..." Lin Chen challenged the limits of his physical strength and willpower.
One step, ten steps, a hundred steps...
Finally, when Lin Chen took the last step, he felt a change before his eyes.
At the bottom of Changchun Mountain, it is freezing and snowy, with no trees growing...
But at the top of Changchun Mountain, there is an atmosphere of spring and full of vitality.
Even the air was exceptionally fresh. Lin Chen leaned under a big tree and breathed in the oxygen greedily.
"Is this the formation... Inside and outside the formation, it feels like a different world..."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
At this time, Han Jihai, who was dressed in a green robe and had white beard and hair, walked up to him, nodded with a smile and said:
"Not bad, congratulations on passing the first level of the fairy seedling examination. ”
"Let's rest for the night and wait until tomorrow morning to test the spiritual root qualifications..."
