Gou Refining Essence into Qi in the Dharma-ending Age

Chapter 14 Test, Entering the Sword Sect

Wang Qiudao's original name was Wang Ergou. After awakening his innate wisdom and discovering that he had transmigrated into a book, he changed his name to "Qiudao".

He was glad that there was no specific cultivation method required to enter the Yuan Realm. After calculating the time, he took advantage of the fact that the Tianji Sect had not yet announced the news of the extinction of spirits and found a spiritual land that not many people cared about to start cultivating.

Heaven had mercy on him. His natural talent was truly lacking, and he had no resources. It took him almost three years to cultivate to the second level of embryonic breathing.

Three years have passed, and he still hasn't awakened any cheat codes.

So he made a decision: to latch onto the protagonist's coattails.

The planning began six months ago.

First, enhance your combat skills to ensure you can enter the Sword Sect.

Secondly, it's about ensuring you encounter the main character.

Up to this point, his plans have been successful.

He met Lin Chao, and Lin Yuan, who was like a brother to Lin Chao, even though they weren't blood brothers.

He greatly envied Lin Yuan, who had taken care of Lin Chao when they were young and hadn't had to do anything to be led to the top.

Not only that, but he also has excellent physical attributes.

Life can be said to be without any setbacks.

But it doesn't matter, he's just a lucky one.

His plan succeeded; he latched onto Lin Chao's coattails and would then leverage his access to all information to seize opportunities.

There will be an opportunity to prove the truth in the future.

Lin Yuan will ultimately fall short.

They are only protected by those who have attained enlightenment, and their status is not low; they are nowhere near as good as those who have attained enlightenment.

……

Silent all night.

The next day, the three continued their journey without resting. Near dusk, they finally arrived at their destination, the Sword Sect.

As a power with Dao Foundation experts, the Sword Sect naturally has its own immortal mountain.

The three arrived near the Sword Sect, but naturally did not actually enter the Immortal Mountain.

Instead, they arrived at the temporary gathering place set up by the Sword Sect.

The Sword Sect recruited disciples here, and the news spread quickly, so the three of them easily found out.

Although it was a temporary gathering place, it was no smaller than a town, and it gathered at least ten thousand people.

Among them were ordinary people and cultivators, all of whom came to try their luck and see if they could join the Sword Sect.

Clearly, even when recruiting a wide range of disciples, not just any mediocre person would be accepted.

"Brother, I've found out. The Sword Sect recruits disciples in two ways. One is through combat, which has no conditions. Once you pass the Sword Sect's combat test, you'll be accepted regardless of your aptitude. Of course, the difficulty of combat varies depending on your cultivation level." Lin Chao told him all the information he had gathered without reservation.

"Another method is to test one's physical attributes. If one's physical attributes are excellent, one can join directly. However, this method is age-restricted. Only those under the age of eighteen can be used, with sixteen being the best age. The requirements can be relaxed as appropriate. I heard that those with mid-grade physical attributes are also recruited."

When the second method was mentioned, Lin Chao had a smile on his face.

This greatly increases Lin Yuan's chances of joining the Sword Sect.

Upon hearing about the two options, Lin Yuan's face lit up with joy.

He had expected complicated requirements.

If that's the case, he can choose either method, and he immediately made a decision: "I'm not good at practical combat, so I'll go with the method of testing one's innate talent. I hope it will work."

"Brother, you can definitely do it," Lin Chao said confidently.

Lin Yuan looked at him and asked, "Are you going to take a real-world combat approach?"

"Not bad." Lin Chao didn't hide anything. "Brother, don't underestimate me. My combat strength is quite strong."

"I wish you all the best." Lin Yuan also chose to trust Lin Chao, who had such a miraculous encounter and seemed confident. Then he looked at Wang Qiu beside him and asked, "Brother Wang, which method do you plan to use?"

"Haha, my physical constitution isn't good, so I can only rely on practical experience," Wang Qiudao replied with a smile, appearing quite carefree.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then I wish Brother Wang all the best. If the three of us can all join the Sword Sect, it will be a wonderful story."

Having come here together, he also hoped that Wang Qiudao would have a good outcome.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiudao also said, "Then let's join the Sword Sect together."

The Sword Sect has recruited quite a few disciples recently and may be closing its recruitment period. Therefore, after encouraging each other, the three of them did not waste any time and dragged their tired bodies to the testing site.

With two ways to get started, there are naturally two testing grounds.

The two test sites are completely different.

The practical testing area covers more than 30 acres and contains a large number of wooden figures.

The location for the physique test is right next to the combat testing area; it's an inconspicuous little pavilion.

When Lin Yuan and his two companions arrived, there were people testing both the combat testing ground and the pavilion for testing physical constitution.

However, the actual test sites were all for people over sixteen years old, mostly in their twenties or thirties.

As for places that test one's physical constitution, there aren't many people who are even in their early teens, let alone sixteen.

For the same reason, those with truly good aptitude are generally not driven away by their original forces, so those who come here to take the test are just ordinary people trying their luck.

Unfortunately, there aren't many people who truly have good natural talent.

"Brother, there are quite a few people doing the practical test, let me wait until you finish your physique test first!" Lin Chao said.

He was actually worried about Lin Yuan's situation.

Because his master had just told him that if the Sword Sect planned to stop recruiting disciples, Lin Yuan, even though he was considered good among those with mid-grade talent, might still be rejected.

Seeing Lin Chao's worry, Wang Qiudao felt helpless.

They're the ones who should be worried!

How could someone with superior physical attributes possibly fail?

But thinking about it, it's normal. Not to mention Lin Chao, even Lin Yuan himself probably doesn't know his true potential. It's normal to be uneasy.

Lin Yuan knew his own physical constitution and wasn't worried. However, seeing Lin Chao's reaction, he comforted him, "Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I'll go and try some real combat."

These words attracted the attention of many people who came to take the test.

They scoffed, thinking, "What kind of arrogant talk is this? If it doesn't work, try another method."

Is it that easy to become a Sword Master?

Of course, no one made any sarcastic remarks.

Few people would do something that offends others for no reason.

We'll see how ridiculous it is then.

In the end, Lin Chao and Wang Qiudao still followed Lin Yuan to the pavilion where the root bones were tested.

There are far fewer people here than those participating in the actual combat test, and the efficiency is also higher.

Lin Yuan joined the queue, and it wasn't long before it was his turn. No one had passed before him.

The person in charge of the test was an old man who looked quite ordinary.

However, Lin Yuan dared not underestimate him. He first greeted him, "Greetings, Elder!"

"Place your hand on this crystal ball." The old man slightly raised his gaze, glanced at Lin Yuan, and then lost interest.

At such an advanced age, it seems like he's just trying his luck again.

Since the establishment of the bone structure test, no one of this age has passed it.

Lin Yuan was no stranger to crystal balls; the Lin family also used them to test one's innate talent.

Without hesitation, he placed his hand on the crystal ball.

In an instant, the crystal ball emitted a bright light.

The light gradually appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it filled eighty percent of the crystal ball.

The old man's previously expressionless face suddenly became quite interesting. He immediately stood up, grabbed Lin Yuan's arms, and asked, "Which family released you?"

"Fine, regardless of which sect you belong to, since you've come to my Sword Sect for the test, you're now an inner disciple of my Sword Sect!"

Many people who were originally prepared to laugh at the situation were dumbfounded.

Since they came to participate in the test, they naturally knew what the crystal ball's performance represented.

Superior physical constitution!
