The last mortal immortal

"To compare with a monk with a mortal body? Humph! This is simply a fantasy and impossible to achieve! When you step into the Immortal Sect, you will naturally understand how ridiculous the people of the Mourning Spirit Clan are!"

The stern young man in black clothes spoke proudly to the ten young people sitting around him. Seeing the young people showing reverence and conviction one by one, the young man named Lian Qi also showed a satisfied smile. .

But at this moment, a sudden voice came out: "Brother Lian, I heard that monks can also refine magic weapons and other external objects. If mortals can drive them, can they match the power of monks? And the Mourning Spirit Clan It seems that this was done..."

"Shh, stop talking!"

The voice was interrupted by another boy.

I saw a slightly thin young man in civilian clothes in the crowd whose mouth was tightly covered by the strong black boy next to him, for fear that he would continue to "speak arrogantly".

Lian Qi's eyebrows flashed with anger and he asked in a deep voice: "What's your name? Do you know the sworn hatred between us monks and the Mourning Clan?!"

Facing the angry questions, the skinny young man not only showed no fear on his face, but walked out of the crowd very calmly and saluted: "My name is Lu Li. He was rash and rude just now. I hope you won't blame me. As for the mourning, I am well aware of the hatred between our clan and monks like us, and I will never forget the hatred of those who seek to destroy spirits and destroy the world!"

Lian Qi, who was about to get angry, couldn't help but lose a third of his anger when he saw this: "Humph, it's good to be clear in your mind! The elder will be here at noon tomorrow to select disciples. Don't let what happened just now happen again, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"

After saying that, Lian Qi waved his big hand and rose up with his sword in front of everyone and disappeared between the clouds and mountains in the distance.

"Huh, it's a good thing that Lian Qi didn't get angry, otherwise you would definitely not be able to walk away! I have already said that you can just talk about your rebellious thoughts in private. How dare you speak out in front of them!" See the black and strong young man. Only then did Zhuang let out a long sigh of relief and said reproachfully.

As the instigator, Lu Li sighed with a hint of disappointment: "I understand, Zhang Mu, thank you very much for what happened today. I will definitely not be rude in front of the elders of the Immortal Sect tomorrow."

"As long as you know clearly, this year is the last time you are eligible to be selected as a disciple by the elders. If you miss this year, you will have to practice some of the simplest Qi refining methods in the village. I am afraid you will be trapped in Qi Condensation for the rest of your life. Expect."

"I've written it all down. Okay, it's getting late today. I have to go back early to prepare for tomorrow's selection. Even if there's only a one-tenth chance, I won't give up!" Lu Li nodded solemnly in agreement, He has been frail and sick since childhood, and often has some "deviant" ideas. Zhang Mu has been his only friend in the village over the years, and what he said is naturally out of good intentions.

"Well, that's best."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words and then left quickly.

On the way home, Lu Li's heart became heavier and heavier. When he was choosing a disciple two years ago, he was given up by the elders of the Immortal Sect because of his weak constitution. This year, if the newcomer is a monk who pays attention to physical training, he may have to do it again. More bad luck than good.

Although today's world is an era of universal cultivation where everyone can practice Qi and seek enlightenment, in fact, ordinary people in the village like them can only obtain the most crude and inferior cultivation methods. After breaking through the Qi Condensation period, the greatest effect of practice can only be to prolong life and strengthen the body.

If he loses the election again this year, he will have no choice but to practice the village's Qi refining technique. In the end, he will inherit his father's business, take care of the village's spiritual field, occasionally make some wood carvings and sell them, and finally marry a wife and have children. This will be the end of his life.

"Sigh... Can a mortal body defeat an immortal? This seems to be no different from a joke to me..." Lu Li sighed helplessly in his heart, but as soon as he got home, he hid all his emotions without leaving any trace. on the face.

In the simple but warm courtyard, the sturdy father Lu Boyuan was concentrating on carving the wood carvings in his hands. When he noticed Lu Li coming back, he immediately put down his work and said, "Li'er, how are you today?"

Before Lu Li could speak, his mother Li Yu, who had a look of love on her face, immediately walked out of the house and said with concern: "Li'er is back. She must be hungry. Mom has made everything ready and is waiting for you to come back for dinner."

Although Lu Li had no appetite, he couldn't bear to refuse at this moment. He could only nod his head and follow the two elders into the house to eat.

Facing the concerned inquiries from his parents, Lu Li had no choice but to answer with comforting words as much as possible, not daring to make them worry too much. After all, his family background was average, and if he complained, he would only cause more worries to his parents.

After the meal, Lu Li said a few words and then hurriedly fled into his room and lay down weakly. His mind was filled with worries about tomorrow and the future. Over the years, apart from learning the wood carving skills taught by his father and reading more books, he had not done anything at all. There is no other advantage. Even if you want to improvise at this moment, there is nothing you can do.

"Could it be that this is all I can do..."

Late at night, Lu Li woke up from his sleep and seemed to hear his parents' voices coming from outside the house: "This year is Li'er's last chance in the village. No matter what, I will try. I can't let him be like us." She will stay in the village for the rest of her life, and Li'er herself clearly wants to join the Immortal Sect and seek immortality."

"But, is this really useful?"

"My second brother has been working outside for many years and has many connections. It might be useful. If it doesn't work, I will ask my second brother to take Li'er to nearby Fucheng. I heard that other cities can also relax the age requirements a lot, and maybe there will be a chance. .”

"It can only be the."

As the door closed, their voices disappeared.

Lu Li, who was lying on the bed, had mixed feelings for a moment: "Father, mother, if Li'er succeeds in cultivating immortality, he will definitely spend his whole life repaying the kindness of you two elders!"

The next day, Lu Li arrived at the designated place early and began to wait for the elders of the Immortal Sect to arrive. However, at this time, he was a little lost in thought. His parents had not returned home since they went out last night until early morning. Although they also had the cultivation of the third level of Qi Condensation, even if they encountered Ordinary wild beasts can protect themselves, but at this moment it is a bit worrying.

Even when Zhang Mu came to his side, Lu Li was in no mood to speak. The nervousness and worry had completely filled his mind.

Unknowingly, the time had reached noon, and a sound of breaking through the air was heard from the distance. In the blink of an eye, a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt and a red sword appeared in front of everyone.

For a moment, everyone was shocked by the faint coercion emanating from the man. The originally noisy crowd fell silent. Even Lu Li, who was distracted, was shocked by the scene in front of him. He was sure that the middle-aged man in front of him was definitely one of these. The most powerful among the immortal elders I have seen in years!

"I, Mu Chenfeng, am the elder of Yun Juezong. One of the ten of you will pass the examination today and become my disciple. Okay, you will come forward one by one and report your name and age. I will observe. Shenjue checks whether your qualifications are suitable."

A trace of irritation flashed in Mu Chenfeng's eyes, as if he was quite dissatisfied with today's recruitment of disciples. He then pointed to the young man on the far right and said, "You go first!"

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but trembled slightly. He quickly stepped forward and said nervously: "Young man Li Xun pays homage to Elder Mu. He happens to be 16 this year."

At the same time, Mu Chenfeng flicked his finger and a golden light melted into Li Xun's body, and returned to Mu Chenfeng's hand after a moment.

"Well, step aside and wait, next one." There was no expression on Mu Chenfeng's face, making it impossible to tell whether he was satisfied with the young man's qualifications.

This sense of unknown makes those who have been tested even more nervous. No one knows until the last moment whether they will be the lucky one.

Lu Li, who was the last one on the far left to be inspected, was also nervous. Finally, after Zhang Mu's inspection, it was his turn.

"Greetings to Elder Mu, this young boy Lu Li has just turned 18 this year."

The process was the same as the previous nine people, but there was no other expression on Mu Chenfeng's face from beginning to end.

Just when Lu Li was about to follow the other nine people and stand aside, Mu Chenfeng slowly said: "Wait a minute, Lu Li, you said yesterday that the bodies of mortals can be compared to immortals, and you even dared to compare them with the Mourning Clan. An arrogant young man?"

Although Lu Li was panicking in his heart, he still pretended to be calm and saluted and said, "Elder Hui Mu, I did make such treasonous remarks yesterday. I hope you can forgive me!"

The silence was as overwhelming as a mountain, making Lu Li unable to breathe. He did not expect that what happened yesterday would actually reach Mu Chenfeng's ears. If the other party hated the Mourning Clan so much, his parents would be affected by him, not to mention studying under him.

Just when Lu Li's nervous heartstrings were about to break, Mu Chenfeng, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly said: "Oh, it's interesting. A mortal body dares to compare to an immortal. I haven't heard such comments from young people like you for some years. Tell me. I, if you could enter the Immortal Sect, what would you do?"

"This..." Lu Li hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and replied: "I want to learn the art of refining weapons. If I want my mortal body to be better than my immortal body, I can only use powerful external forces!"

"Interesting..." Mu Chenfeng gave a rare chuckle and continued: "Others look for qualifications and physical fitness when recruiting disciples, but I am more focused on fate. From today on, you will be a registered disciple and follow me to practice the martial arts. Whether you can still stay after ten years depends on your own destiny!"
