Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Compared to the test of comprehension, Li Ji'an felt confident.

Although he had not yet reached the point of comprehending the principles of heaven and earth out of thin air, many things required a sufficient resource library from which to extract, trace the roots, and understand the fundamentals, and then optimize and improve on the basis of his predecessors.

But this was already commendable. After all, with more than six thousand years of history in this world, plus the inheritance unearthed from ancient times, it had actually developed quite maturely, and it was not easy to innovate.

However, judging from the three tests of the Bi Yun Sect's initial trials and the test of temperament, the Bi Yun Sect's entrance trials were not necessarily the truth, and were probably more based on experience and speculation.

Those who passed the test were not necessarily better, and those who did not pass the test could not be said to be bad.

At least for the second test of temperament, if he were to do it again, he could hypnotize himself in advance and instill the corresponding ideas into his subconscious, which would definitely lead to better performance.

Li Ji'an followed the crowd into the pavilion, in the center of which were ten water screens condensed with mana, each with illustrations and explanations.

"Three days is the limit. The more you comprehend, the better your comprehension. Copying is prohibited, all cheating methods are prohibited, and taking any divine soul-related auxiliary pills is prohibited." Zhao Qi's voice echoed in the pavilion.

Only thirty-seven people remained to enter the third trial.

They all stepped forward and carefully studied the diagrams and texts on the water screen.

"This should be a late-stage Qi training technique, a water-attributed technique."

"Pills, weapons, talismans, arrays, and puppet techniques."

"This one is a body cultivator!"

"This is a spell."

"There is even a technique for cultivating the divine soul!"

"This seems to be related to the divine soul as well. Could it be some kind of divine soul secret technique?"

Those who could come to participate in the trial had at least upper-middle-grade spiritual roots, and their family backgrounds were mostly not simple, either a side branch of a family, a merchant from a fairy city, or the children of elites from all walks of life. At the very least, their parents were also outstanding among rogue cultivators.

They had some knowledge.

Before long, the categories on the mana water screen were clear.

Li Ji'an nodded secretly: "Sure enough, the Bi Yun Sect can only rely on this kind of problem-solving method to speculate on comprehension."

Comprehension is related to the divine soul, and the divine soul is hidden in the sea of consciousness. According to Li Ji'an's understanding over the years, at least the divine sense of a Core Formation True Person cannot penetrate the sea of consciousness of others.

Unless there are certain soul-searching secret methods.

However, once the soul is searched, the sea of consciousness will collapse, and even if you don't die, you will become a living dead.

Understanding the Bi Yun Sect's method of assessment for this level, Li Ji'an felt a little disappointed, after all, this method of assessment had great problems and could not truly test a person's comprehension.

Everyone has their own unique talent points, and it is obviously inappropriate to evaluate them with their weaknesses.

Moreover, this kind of test question method is more prone to cheating and advance preparation.

However, Li Ji'an didn't care. This method was advantageous to him. After all, he was best at tracing the roots. If he understood one method, he could understand all methods.

Moreover, this time to participate in the sect trial was an accident. Whether he succeeded or not, he didn't care. He was satisfied to be able to experience it and be mentally prepared.

If not, he would come again in the next life.

At that time, he would directly be an all-rounder and directly win the quota of a core disciple of the inner sect, or even get a personal disciple of the sect leader, which would naturally be much better than being just an ordinary inner sect disciple even if he successfully entered the sect now.

Then he began to comprehend from the first water screen.

In his previous life, he was in the middle stage of Qi training, and he had some understanding of the essence of the gradual condensation of mana from a thin gaseous state to a thin mist state from the early stage to the middle stage. At this moment, this question was the deduction of a small detail of the mana operation method in the transformation from the middle stage of Qi training to the late stage of Qi training.

After only a moment, Li Ji'an stepped forward, picked up a pen and paper, and drew the deduced mana operation method on the human meridian diagram.

Then the second one.

It happened to be the alchemy technique that he had studied for thirty years in his previous life.

With a casual glance, the standard answer to this question was already clear.

He even thought that if he were to set the question, he would change the method to better reflect the merits and demerits of the examinee's comprehension.

But it was only in the way of alchemy.

The third one, weapon refinement.

This question took Li Ji'an nearly two hours.

After all, he had never been exposed to weapon refinement in his previous and present lives, and he had no basic reserves.

Fortunately, this question was just a point of critical deduction, and it was also a bit related to Dan fire. Several possible permutations and combinations could barely find the correct answer.

However, if this way of obtaining the correct answer were really used in weapon refinement, it could not be said that it was useless at all, it could only be said that it was useless!

The fourth one, talismans.

It happened to be his strength again.

Although the Great Elder Yan Kongyi himself did not have much talent in talismans, he was good at teaching the basics of talismans.

Solved in three breaths.

……

……

In this way, until noon on the third day, Li Ji'an replenished another grain of Biru Pill, and finally couldn't hold on and sat down.

I have to say, the formation and puppet techniques were too obscure and difficult to understand. The questions should not be difficult, but for him, a rookie with zero foundation and no contact at all, he still had no clue, and finally had to give up.

As for body cultivation and spells, there were no surprises.

However, until now, he realized that the most unsolvable ones were originally divine soul techniques and secret techniques.

For the whole day and night, he didn't even understand the fragments of the soul cultivation technique on the ninth water screen.

Soul cultivation was completely different from the body cultivation and magic cultivation he knew. There was no reference, no cognition.

The same was true for the last divine soul secret technique.

This also made him more disapproved of this method of comprehension assessment.

In the end, Li Ji'an completed six questions, gave up the remaining four, and took the six pages of answers to the side to adjust his breath and wait for the end of the trial.

"Dang ~"

When night fell, a bell rang, representing the end of the third level of comprehension assessment.

After Zhao Qi came in, the thirty-seven people handed in their answer sheets in turn.

"Brother, why didn't you finish answering?" Xiao Changfeng asked with some worry when he saw that Li Ji'an only had six pages of answers in his hand.

"I am dull, I can't understand those." Li Ji'an shook his head to explain, and when he saw Xiao Changfeng's full ten pages of answers, he was also slightly shocked.

Could this kid be a peerless genius?

But he saw Xiao Changfeng hurriedly leaned over and lowered his voice and said: "Oh, you are confused, don't care if you can or not, write boldly, maybe the examiner will see that you are attentive, even if you are wrong, he will praise you."

"……" Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows slightly, admiring Xiao Changfeng's wisdom.

That night, everyone returned to the hall where they had rested on the first night.

This time, they were closer to each other.

After all, even if these people did not enter the inner door in the end, they could completely enter the outer door, and they would be brothers in the future.

Especially the few teenagers with the best spiritual roots, who were praised by everyone.

Li Ji'an also followed the crowd and said a few very ordinary words of praise.

For this kind of good seedling of the sect, making good friends may not be beneficial, but it is definitely not possible to make enemies.

The next day, Zhao Qi came again and announced the end of the trial, leading everyone to the Deacon Hall to wait for the elders of this session to determine the final ranking.

Then confirm the details of the future path with their respective parents and elders. If there is no error, they can enter the sect.

At 3:15 p.m., the results of this trial were released.

Li Ji'an's talent was B-, his temperament was B+, his comprehension was A, and his overall ranking was fourteenth.

Xiao Changfeng's talent was A-, his temperament was B, his comprehension was B, and his overall ranking was sixteenth.

And this year the sect recruited fifteen inner disciples!

The top three are listed as true disciples.

"Congratulations, brother, oh, no, I should call you senior brother in the future. Senior brother, don't worry, junior brother will be in the outer door in the future, the previous promise is still valid, but if you have any instructions, I will definitely help you with my life!" Xiao Changfeng was not only lively, but also broad-minded. After a little disappointment, he became optimistic again.

"Junior brother is serious, you can communicate more in the future." Li Ji'an was actually a little hesitant, because the fourteenth place to enter the inner door almost cut off the possibility of a true disciple.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

And after he had this experience, he was confident that he would be in the top three in the next life.

What he was hesitating about now was whether this life's entry into the Bi Yun Sect would affect the next life's entry into the sect, which was better or worse.

Another thing to consider was that the appearance that had been nourished by spiritual energy in this life and the changes in the next life might not be too great, and whether there would be hidden dangers.

"Then junior brother will go to the outer courtyard first, senior brother, you are busy first. Farewell."

"Goodbye."

As the rest of the people left, the relatives of the top fifteen candidate disciples were brought into the pavilion.

The sect's recruitment of disciples must be cut off from the family.

Even if there is no family, even if it is biological parents, they must be told in advance about the relationship between close and distant in the future.

However, according to past experience, there is almost no problem at this step.

Not long after, Li Ji'an saw Yan Qingwan being invited into the hall.

Yan Qingwan looked at him with praise and pride for him.

……

With everything settled, the fifteen people in the hall were about to become inner disciples, and a few outgoing personalities began to familiarize themselves in advance.

After a while, another sect deacon gathered the fifteen people together and routinely announced the entry matters.

"Entering my sect, you should unite as one, and work together with one heart for the sect's ten thousand years, and the sect's precepts must not be violated! You should always remember the sect's kindness, and if there is an edict, go forward without hesitation."

"Stepping into this mountain gate, you have already drawn a clear line with the past. From now on, you should only have the sect in your hearts. Live as a sect person and die as a sect soul."

"Our generation's cultivation lies in fighting, fighting with the sky, fighting with people, and fighting with ourselves. One step slow, every step slow. Building a foundation at the age of thirty and building a foundation at the age of sixty, the future potential is very different."

"Although there are many sect resources, they are not available for sitting back and enjoying the fruits of labor. You need to actively accept sect tasks, shine and generate heat for the sect's development, and earn contributions to exchange for them. Don't think that once you enter the sect, you can be lazy and unmotivated. If you have such thoughts, it is best to leave in advance."

……

The deacon's announcement was clear and understandable, but Li Ji'an was even more hesitant.

He admitted that after gaining a deeper understanding now, his expectations for this sect were a bit too high.

Although after entering this world, understanding the situation that resources are king in this world, he could think that the sects in this world would definitely not be as harmonious as some of the novels he had read in the past, with masters caring and brothers being respectful, allowing him to cultivate silently.

But he still had some expectations before.

At this moment, there was really some gap.

He could understand the rules and ideas of these sects in the cultivation world, and he also understood that if ordinary monks did not fight in this environment, their path would be hopeless, like waiting for death.

However, he had "rejuvenation" and was not suitable for this kind of thing.

After only listening to the first few items, Li Ji'an had no intention of listening any further.

Because the three-day comprehension assessment that consumed the divine soul, he was indeed a little tired at the moment. He sat cross-legged on the spot, took out a nourishing pill and took it, and then further condensed the divine soul.

These three days of comprehension trial consumed a lot of divine soul, but it also had tempering. The divine soul seemed to be strong again. Almost at the last moment, he took this opportunity to condense it again.

This was the same as the monks fighting to the death to break through the bottleneck of the realm.

Sure enough, after a while, the spiritual consciousness that had been stuck at the peak of Qi training finally loosened.

Li Ji'an was overjoyed and continued to work hard.

Although the divine soul was strong in his previous life, it eventually stopped at the late stage of Qi training.

The divine soul in this life was strengthened again due to rejuvenation. After these seven years of condensation, it was further advanced than in his previous life, but he had not yet broken through to a divine consciousness comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage.

At this moment, he finally saw hope.

Buzz ~

In the next moment, Li Ji'an only felt a sudden clarity in the sea of consciousness.

The whole world seemed to be quiet.

The spiritual consciousness that could only be passively sensed suddenly turned into a divine consciousness that seemed to have eyes, ears, and touch.

At the moment of breakthrough, the divine consciousness uncontrollably scattered and radiated more than ten feet directly.

He "saw" the ants in the ten-foot-away crack, "heard" the rustling sound of earthworms arching the soil under the ten-foot-away corner, and "touched" the dryness and decay of the fallen leaves flying ten feet away...

"Hmm?" Suddenly, at the moment of promoting the divine consciousness, due to the attraction of the spiritual machine of heaven and earth, the momentary induction of heaven and man, as if merging with the Great Dao, the divine consciousness drawn by the Great Dao returned.

Unexpectedly, he broke through the shielding restriction of the quiet room next door.

He "saw" the ingratiating smile on the face of the fake Dan manager elder in the next room.

He "heard" the sentence from his mouth: "Daoist Yan is young and has been promoted to a second-level alchemist. If you can enter my Holy Sect, your future is limitless. Why be trapped in a small family and find it difficult to make progress in your life? You might as well consider it again. What's more, your son's spiritual root is not good, and his temperament is not good. He can't get the true inheritance, and there is no one to protect him..."

"Brush!" At the moment when the divine consciousness returned to the sea of consciousness, Li Ji'an had already made a decision.

The benefits of the sect are obvious compared to the family. There are many resources and strong inclusiveness, but if you can't become a true disciple, you have no chance to get the holy law, you can't be valued by the sect, and it is impossible to have someone to protect you. And you must obey the sect's dispatch, actively carry out tasks, and be forced to enter the secret realm for trials, which is life-threatening.

Moreover, this trial was not ideal because of lack of experience, and he was confident that he would perform better in the next life, and there was hope to come again. Even if he wanted to enter the sect in the end, he didn't have to be obsessed with this life.

What's more, Yan Qingwan, as the only alchemist cultivated by the family's offerings, is the future and hope of the Yan family, and will never leave the family.

After a long time.

The deacon finished the announcement, and Yan Qingwan also came out of the quiet room.

"Everyone, if there are no objections, please follow me to the inner door to handle the entry matters." After the deacon finished speaking, he raised his foot and was about to leave, obviously not thinking that anyone would give up.

"Sorry, I give up due to personal reasons." At this moment, Li Ji'an's voice surprised everyone.

Yan Qingwan looked at Li Ji'an, equally puzzled. She initially wanted to advise him, but considering the maturity and independent judgment he had shown over the past seven years, she ultimately suppressed her doubts and remained silent for the time being.

The deacon was quite surprised. Over the years, countless people had tried desperately to get in, but many more had failed in their attempts. Yet, this young man was giving up at the very last moment?

After a moment of stunned silence, he regained his composure and said nothing more. It was not uncommon to see young people being impetuous and arrogant, with ambitions soaring higher than the sky. The cultivation world had never lacked such individuals.

Of course, there were also some young people who had not experienced hardship and suffering, and who aspired to a life of freedom and unrestraint. They might find it difficult to accept certain rules. Understandable!
