Chapter 114: Sneaking into the Sect to Get the Wool

Before leaving this place, Tian Zhen heard a piece of news that the six major sects had started recruiting disciples again. It was said that they used to recruit disciples once every six years, but now they recruit disciples every year.

When Tian Zhen received this news, he felt heavy-hearted and decided to go and check out the situation to confirm whether his guess was wrong.

Don't think too highly of others, but don't think too badly of them either.

Tian Zhen deliberately kept a low profile on this trip, even taking out his mithril sword, which had been nearly re-refined. He executed the sword technique with unwavering ease, transforming it into a streak of silver light that flew off into the distance.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. No matter how low-key Tian Zhen is, he still can't escape the fate of being targeted.

"Boy, hand over the spherical magic weapon next to you and the flying sword under your feet, otherwise you will risk your life!" An arrogant voice came from the air, and a young man with a flying sword under his feet blocked Tian Zhen's way. The mellow aura of a person at the peak of Qi training made him look extremely ordinary.

"Ah, yes, yes, hand it over and I'll spare your life!" The two younger brothers following behind him also echoed.

Tian Zhen stopped on purpose, just to see what these three people could do and experience the feeling of being robbed for the first time, otherwise they would not be able to see the 'exhaust' of Tian Zhen's flying sword at all.

Tian Zhen touched his chin and asked with interest: "How do you know that these are all the magic weapons I have? Aren't you afraid that I will take out more powerful magic weapons to kill you?"

"Hahaha, what a joke. You are at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Even if you take out the spiritual energy and unleash several levels of power, why don't you hand it over obediently? Otherwise, I will make you suffer first!" The young man at the peak of Qi Refining laughed loudly, and the younger brothers around him also laughed.

Tian Zhen's expression was calm. He asked, "Brother! Do you know what Ragnarok is?"

The young man didn't waste any more words with Tian Zhen, but instead took out his two dagger-like magical weapons and attacked Tian Zhen.

"Break cognition, even if it's Ragnarok!" As soon as Tian Zhen finished speaking, weapon modules were instantly mounted on both sides of the universal storage device next to him. The four gun muzzles first fired two shots, knocking away the attacking dagger-like magic weapons, and then displayed a torrential firepower at them.

The spiritual shield they held up couldn't even last a blink of an eye, and they didn't have time to use their body skills to dodge. In an instant, they became a sieve and fell from the sky.

Tian Zhen shook his head. Such people did not deserve sympathy. They were so skilled and must be very familiar with this kind of business. Who knows how many monks had died at their hands.

Even if you hunt geese all day long, you will eventually get your eyes pecked by a goose.

After this little episode, he became more thoughtful and sent the universal storage to high altitude first. Tian Zhen then continued to fly on his sword and finally reached his destination, Daotai Mountain.

Not only are there people like Tian Zhen flying with swords, there are also people driving flying boats, and there are mortals driving carriages on the ground. There are quite a lot of people, and it is very lively. After all, this is the place where the six major sects jointly recruit disciples. When the time comes, there will be a lot of people here, almost catching up with the Spring Festival travel rush. If most of the people here are mortals under the age of sixteen, and the upper age limit is a little higher, this place will definitely develop into a crowded place.

There are tests for mortals here, and naturally there are also tests for these Qi-refining cultivators.

Only those who have already cultivated Qi and are under 30 years old are recruited. Tian Zhen naturally meets this recruitment target, which is why he is qualified to take the test.

The next step is to choose a sect that you like to take the test. Tian Zhen specifically picked a sect whose information is easier to find out and which he is more interested in, the Jiuyang Sect, a sect that specializes in alchemy. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that its alchemy skills should be impressive.

It’s still the old tradition of testing spiritual root qualifications.

There is only an old man doing the test here. Compared with these casual cultivators here, the children who have not yet practiced Qi are more surprising.

"Eighth level of Qi Refining, medium water spiritual roots, passed! Next one!" After the old man finished testing this and gave the corresponding identity token, he immediately shouted the next one.

Tian Zhen was the next one, so he walked forward, bowed, and stood in the center of the formation. The formation plate under his feet was rotating, and Tian Zhen only felt waves running from his feet to the top of his head. First, the five elements of gold were released on Tian Zhen one by one, circulating continuously, and there was another kind of wave that vibrated Tian Zhen's Qi, as if testing the roundness of the Qi.

There is such a way to play, which really opened Tian Zhen's eyes.

Seeing the formation's lack of reaction, the old man was surprised. Could he have such a perfect grasp of spiritual energy? Since he could control his spiritual energy without any unnecessary changes, completely merging with the spiritual energy fluctuations of the formation, it was clear that his soul cultivation had reached a certain level, and he was a potential alchemy talent. The old man nodded and said, "Kid, relax and let your spiritual energy and the formation transform differently."

Tian Zhen did as he was told, and his energy instantly returned to where it should be, and the results came out soon.

"Sixth level of Qi Refining, inferior wood spiritual roots, qualified! Brat, this is your own choice, don't blame me if your treatment is bad." After the old man said this, he blew his beard and glared at Tian Zhen as he handed a token.

"Take this and stand over there." The old man pointed to a place that had passed the test and had a soundproof barrier activated there. People were chatting in groups of three or five, and of course there were also some who were isolated.

Tian Zhen walked over, and a young man came up to him and said, "Brother, my name is Ma Yanliang, I'm a casual cultivator, can I get to know you?"

"My name is Tian Zhen, and I'm also a casual cultivator. I came here naturally to learn alchemy." Tian Zhen said half-truthfully.

"Are you also interested in alchemy? I have the first half of an elixir recipe that I got by chance, and I'd like to share it with you, my brother. Can you take a look at its quality?" Ma Yanliang took out a piece of old-looking paper from his storage bag. It was faintly fluorescent and had some traditional Chinese characters written on it.

Tian Zhen felt a headache when he saw the words above. He apologized and said, "To be honest, I was studying weapon refining before, and I only know a little bit about alchemy."

Tian Zhen was telling the truth. As for alchemy, he only had a basic understanding of some simple methods of refining pills. Although the principles were roughly the same, there were always new and novel tricks that Tian Zhen didn't know about. Only with differences could there be motivation and different inspirations.

Tian Zhen knows how to balance.

Tian Zhen knew a little bit about the appearance, balance, and names of some medicinal herbs. But if he didn't understand something, he could use the universal storage device to check on Huorong.

He collected a lot of rare and precious herbs, and also supplemented a lot of information with the help of the sect's alchemy elders and some doctors who retired early.

Tian Zhen won’t tell you all of them, but at least he can find most of the herbs on Huorong by looking up their balance, appearance, and name.

So Tian Zhen came here just to get some elixir-making methods he had never seen before for free, and he collected them all.

Ma Yanliang immediately asked curiously, "Brother, why didn't you go to the Huolian Sect? Why did you come to the Jiuyang Sect, which specializes in alchemy, to learn alchemy?"

"Hahaha, it won't hurt to learn a little bit of each of the six arts of cultivation." Tian Zhen said modestly.
