Cultivation, I have a world of high martial arts

Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.

38:57.

He rushed from Zhoucun to the foot of Changchun Mountain, walking on the mountain road all the way, and it was raining.

The mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk, so it took some time, more than five days.

There was still a day and a half before he returned to Blue Star next time.

Before crossing back to Blue Star, Lin Chen needed to know more about the world of immortal cultivation.

And joining the immortal sect was undoubtedly the best channel.

"As long as I can attract the attention of the country, I can get more help..."

"Then I can also have a place in this dangerous world of immortal cultivation."

Lin Chen walked around the market.

Relying on this market under the Changchun sect, a Changchun town was built within a radius of ten miles.

In addition to some cultivators, there are more wealthy businessmen and families among mortals.

They settled in this market town to seek immortal fate.

But, how difficult is it to ascend to immortality?

Thousands of thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys gathered in the market, from major towns within a thousand miles.

These teenagers all came to participate in the Changchun Sect Immortal Seedling Assessment.

Lin Chen walked to the innermost part of the market and soon came to an empty square.

After registering his age and name with the assessor, Lin Chen walked to a long mountain climbing staircase.

The staircase was winding and led directly to the top of Changchun Mountain, with no end in sight.

This was the first level of the Changchun Sect Immortal Seedling Assessment.

30,000 steps to immortality!

Changchun Mountain is 2,400 feet high, nearly 8,000 meters.

There is only one road from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, which is these 30,000 steps.

The first level of the Immortal Seedling Assessment requires: to walk these 30,000 steps to the top of the mountain within half a day.

This is not difficult for Qi Refining cultivators or warriors.

But those who participated in the Immortal Seedling Assessment were all teenagers under the age of 18 and had not yet practiced.

It is not easy for a half-grown boy, 14 or 15 years old, to walk these 30,000 steps even if he is young and energetic.

This is an assessment of the physical fitness of the Immortal Seedlings, and also a test of their mental perseverance.

Lin Chen had been traveling for four days and was very tired.

But he didn't dare to rest too much, because today was the last day of the Immortal Seedling Assessment.

He had to climb more than 30,000 steps and reach the top of the mountain before sunset, otherwise he would have to wait another three years...

After drinking an i-3 type physical potion, Lin Chen felt that his physical strength was recovering rapidly.

Then he began to climb the mountain steps!

One step, two steps, a hundred steps...

At the beginning, the mountain steps were not difficult, and ordinary people could do it with ease.

Many young people who were naturally lively talked and laughed, walked fast, and looked very relaxed.

But Lin Chen took one step at a time, steadily and steadily.

He knew that the first 10,000 or even 20,000 steps were not difficult for him, and it was easy for him with his physical fitness as a ninth-level martial artist.

But when it came to the last few thousand steps, the mountain was too cold.

At a peak of seven or eight thousand meters, it was the coldest time of winter, the weather was extremely cold, and there were many strong winds on the mountain. Even he could not take it lightly.

Therefore, saving physical strength at this moment was undoubtedly the best way.

The sun gradually moved westward, and I walked for nearly two hours without realizing it.

Lin Chen stopped, adjusted his breathing a little, and drank half a potion of physical strength.

"I should have walked about 20,000 steps... Now I am halfway up the mountain, the altitude should be more than 5,000 meters..."

Lin Chen looked back at the mountain. At this point, the number of climbers has become fewer and fewer.

Most of the young men who were laughing and joking before were exhausted and fell behind, and even returned to the original route to prepare to go down the mountain.

"Although the people in this world have excellent physical fitness, there are still a few young men who can climb more than 5,000 meters in one breath..."

"To be able to climb here, their physical fitness must be different from ordinary people, which is also a manifestation of having spiritual roots..."

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.

The first level of ascending to immortality is 30,000 steps, which is a selection of mental perseverance and a test of qualifications.

People who can climb to the top of the mountain, in addition to having great perseverance, have good physical fitness and usually have spiritual roots.

And only with spiritual roots can you enter the practice.

Of course, this way of testing qualifications is not accurate. There will be more accurate spiritual root tests after the first level.

"I hope my luck is not too bad. At least I have to have the qualifications to practice..."

Lin Chen only took a short rest and continued to climb the mountain steps.

In this world of immortal cultivation, half of the mortals have the qualifications to practice, that is, they have spiritual roots.

Among these half of qualified mortals, most of them have "inferior spiritual roots" and have very low sensitivity to spiritual energy, making it difficult to practice.

Above inferior spiritual roots, there are mixed spiritual roots.

Among the five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, those with more than three attributes are mixed spiritual roots.

Mixed spiritual roots are still difficult to practice, but they are much better than inferior spiritual roots.

Above mixed spiritual roots, there are double spiritual roots.

Double spiritual roots are already one in a thousand.

Going up, there are true spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots, heavenly spiritual roots...

Lin Chen does not expect himself to be one in a million, as long as he can reach the qualifications of mixed spiritual roots.

With the support of the entire high-level martial arts world behind him, he can still make a name for himself in the world of cultivation!

...

An hour later.

The sun has gradually set, and there is less than an hour left before the end of the assessment.

At this moment, Lin Chen is still moving steadily towards the top of the mountain.

"There are fewer and fewer young people who can reach this point along the way..."

Lin Chen made a quick calculation and found that he should have climbed more than 28,000 steps now.

The altitude is more than 7,000 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 had surpassed many teenagers who had climbed the mountain in advance.

There were only a few teenagers who could be seen in the last few thousand steps.

"The last section of the journey is undoubtedly a great test of perseverance..."

"I'm afraid that 99% of the teenagers will be eliminated in just these 30,000 steps..."

Lin Chen drank half a bottle of physical potion again.

At an altitude of more than 7,000 meters, the air was already extremely thin, and ordinary people could not stay for a long time, let alone strenuous exercise.

At the same time, the low temperature of dozens of degrees below zero also made people shiver with cold.

Fortunately, Lin Chen was wearing an A-57 light combat suit, which had a good thermal insulation effect, so he did not feel too much cold.

Lin Chen continued to step towards the top of Changchun Mountain step by step.

Half an hour later, there were only less than a thousand steps left.

Of the thousands of teenagers who took the test today, only a few could walk here.

At the top of Changchun Mountain, several Changchun Sect elders also noticed Lin Chen.

"This boy is steady and steady, climbing the mountain without rushing or slowing down, and has a good character..."

"His physical fitness is also good, he should be a good immortal seedling with spiritual roots."

An elder in a Taoist robe stroked his beard with admiration in his eyes.

"Yes, this time the immortal seedling assessment lasts for seven days, and there are no less than 40,000 young people climbing the mountain."

"Only less than 300 people can reach the top of the mountain..."

"This boy is a good seedling, what is his name?"

As the elder of Changchun Sect asked, several disciples handed over the list.

"Lin Chen..."

The elder frowned slightly and said regretfully:

"It's a pity that he is already seventeen years old... He has missed the best age for cultivation."

After hearing this, several elders on the mountain showed regret.

Cultivators are different from warriors.

Warriors often start practicing martial arts after the age of sixteen, because before that, their bodies are still developing.

If you practice martial arts too early, it may affect your physical potential.

But in the world of immortal cultivation, the best immortal seedlings have to start practicing at the age of twelve or thirteen, or even eight or nine.

After all, the road to immortal cultivation is long. The earlier you start and lay the foundation, the broader the future will be.

At this time, an old man in a green robe said:

"But it's not necessarily... Seventeen years old is a bit old, but it also meets the sect's requirement of being under eighteen years old."

"If this young man has good spiritual roots, it's still in time..."

After hearing the old man's words, the other elders did not answer, but they knew it in their hearts.

This old man in green robe is Han Jihai, the head of Danfeng of Changchun Sect, and his cultivation has reached the perfection of the foundation building stage.

Unfortunately, he failed to break through the Jindan stage a few years ago, and he is a bit old, so he should want to accept a closed disciple to inherit the position of the head of the peak.

Changchun Sect is divided into five peaks, namely Jianfeng, Zhenfeng, Qifeng, Fufeng, and Danfeng.

In addition to the Jianfeng controlled by the sect master, Changchun Sect is famous for the formation, so the Zhenfeng is the most prosperous.

In comparison, Danfeng is the weakest of the five peaks.

There are only a few alchemists in the entire Changchun Sect, all of whom are Han Jihai's disciples.

"Haha, then congratulate Master Han Feng in advance for having a good disciple..."

The master of Zhenfeng said with a smile. He is a middle-aged man who looks gentle and refined.

Compared with Lin Chen, he is more optimistic about the few teenagers who have reached the top before.

...

Changchun Mountain, close to 8,000 meters above sea level.

Lin Chen is already a little out of breath. Several hours of climbing have greatly consumed his physical strength.

Coupled with the lack of oxygen caused by the high altitude, Lin Chen almost saw stars.

But Lin Chen still gritted his teeth and continued to climb up.

"Huh, there are only the last hundred steps..." Lin Chen challenged the limits of his physical strength and willpower.

One step, ten steps, a hundred steps...

Finally, when Lin Chen stepped onto the last step, he felt a change in front of him.

Below the top of Changchun Mountain, it is severe cold and snowy, and all trees are barren...

But on the top of Changchun Mountain, there is a spring atmosphere and rich vitality.

Even the air was exceptionally fresh. Lin Chen leaned against a big tree, breathing in the oxygen greedily.

"Is this the formation... Inside and outside the formation, it seems like a different world..."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

At this time, Han Jihai, who was dressed in a green robe and had white hair and beard, walked up to him and nodded with a smile:

"Not bad, congratulations on passing the first level of the Immortal Seedling Assessment."

"Take a rest for a night, and test your spiritual root qualifications tomorrow morning..."
