Chapter 589: Scarlet Emperor Fire Spirit
Time flies, and soon another four or fifty years have passed.

In May of this year, Qin Di got news that the day when the Scarlet Emperor Palace opened a mountain once every 500 years to recruit disciples was approaching.

Ever since, he sent his avatar, Qin Huo, with a dozen fire monks, through the teleportation array of Xuanshi City, to the Southern Firefly City in the Central Continent.The city is rich in fireflies. It is said that there was once a fairy who collected countless fireflies and extracted a kind of fairy fire from them. This kind of fairy fire is very strange. Although the lethality is not strong, it is good at tracking and can pinpoint the target. , Even across thousands of mountains and rivers, it can be tracked all the time.

Qin Di (Qin Huo) walked out of the teleportation array and soon found the Red Emperor Palace.

The outer wall of the Red Emperor Palace is fiery red, and there is a lake of fire at the entrance.The flames were blazing, and even at night, the outside of the Red Emperor Palace was very lively.Therefore, on weekdays, this is the place where the common people like to gather most.As a famous sect, Chidi Palace will not drive away those common people in order to show its closeness to the people.

The Dragon Boat Festival in May is the day when the Red Emperor Palace opened a mountain to recruit disciples.Before that, everyone who wants to take the test can come and get a number plate three days in advance.

On this day, at the time of the Dragon Boat Festival in May, a ninth-level fairy with fluttering white hair walked out of the Red Emperor Palace, followed by five or six lower-level spirit immortals, and more than a dozen disciples doing miscellaneous work, including four or five Earth Immortal, there are also several monks who are compatible with the Tao.

The leading white-haired fairy came to the lake of fire, threw a red token into the flames, and then prayed solemnly to the sky, muttering words, but he didn't know what to say.

Not too long ago, the lake of fire suddenly erupted, and the originally calm lake surface became choppy, and the waves became higher and higher, gradually condensing into a group of human-shaped flames!

Someone nearby cheered: "The Scarlet Emperor Fire Spirit! The Red Emperor Fire Spirit has appeared!"

"Look, the flames are getting closer and closer to the human form, and the nose, eyes, arms, and legs are all coming out! And he can still walk in the sea of ​​flames!"

"Hey, why did the Scarlet Emperor Fire Spirit come ashore? The flames on his body are so strong, won't it burn people to death?"

"Ahem, since we want to test the new disciples, the spirit of fire must go ashore! Otherwise, how to test? Let everyone jump into the lake of fire, I'm afraid they won't be able to climb out after being burned to death!"

"Don't worry, the flames on Huo Ling's body look very intense, and it is extremely painful to burn on the body, but after the flames are burned, they will not leave indelible scars, let alone burn people to death. The last time I It is a pity that I failed to hold ten breaths in the flames, and I felt pain to the marrow, as if my whole body had been burned by the fire. After I raised my right hand and gave up, I found that there was not even a trace of scars on my body. So , I regretted it to death that day, if I could persist for a while longer, I would be able to become a disciple of the outer sect of the Red Emperor Palace! What a pity, why can't I persist?"

"Hey, I don't blame you! This is an illusion caused by the Scarlet Emperor Fire Spirit. I was even more miserable last time. I counted the number by myself. I thought I had lasted ten breaths, so I stopped quickly. Who knew that after I stopped, I But I was told by the elder in charge of the test that I only lasted for eight breaths, do you think I died unjustly? I clearly remembered that it was ten breaths!"

"Then you won't argue with the other party?"

"I argued, but even my junior brother, who was watching from the side, said that I only lasted for eight breaths!"

"Ahem, then there is no way!"

"I heard that if you can hold on to thirty breaths in the flames, you can become an inner disciple; if you hold on to one hundred breaths, you can become a true disciple. I don't know if that's right?"

"I can't remember the exact number either. Anyway, the longer you persist, the better! If you can persist for [-] breaths, maybe you can become a direct disciple!"

"Personal disciples? Stop dreaming! The last time the Red Emperor Palace tested in many cities, only two true disciples were recruited in the end. There have been no direct disciples for many years."

At this time, I heard the white-haired fairy raising his voice: "The test for recruiting new disciples of the Red Emperor Palace will start soon. Before that, the old man will say a few words first. Our Red Emperor Palace is a large sect with a long history. But it is not the only sect chosen by Huoxiu. There are thousands of sects in the entire spiritual world, and more than 500 of them will beckon Huoxiu disciples. So young monks, if you are frustrated for a while, don’t be discouraged This can only mean that you have no fate with the Scarlet Emperor Palace for the time being, but it does not mean that your Huo Xiu's aptitude is not good. You can choose to go to another school to practice, or you can wait another [-] years and continue to come to my Scarlet Emperor Palace for testing."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a disciple shouting loudly from below: "We have identified the Red Emperor Palace! My ancestors all practiced in the Red Emperor Palace, and there is no reason to switch to other sects! If it doesn't work this time, then wait for the next time! Come here a few times, there will always be hope.”

Someone also said in a low voice: "Anyway, the Scarlet Emperor Palace won't harm anyone! I heard that some Huoxiu sects recruited disciples for the purpose of killing chickens to get eggs. The disciples who were admitted had very miserable results, either because they lacked resources or had no resources. There is no way to advance, or people will be deprived of the cave after the advancement... Although the number of disciples recruited by the Red Emperor Palace is not large, as long as you enter the door, there is hope that you can go up step by step, and you don't have to worry about being caught. People deprive the cave, this is the benefit of entering the famous sect!"

Then I heard the white-haired ninth-level spirit fairy say loudly: "First, invite the first [-] monks who have received the number plate to come out and stand in the square for the test. , just raise your left hand, or jump out of the standing square, and you've finished the test!"

So five hundred monks came out and stood in the squares that had been drawn in advance on the square.These square grids are only about the size of a few feet, and there are still some open spaces on the side.

The disciples who took part in the test had the lowest skill level was Buxu cultivator, and the one with the highest skill level had reached Lingxian.It can be seen from this that in the long years from Buxu to Lingxian, every monk has countless opportunities to participate in the test.Anyway, the testing process is free, and there is one chance every 500 years.So as the person said before, if it doesn't work this time, it's a big deal to come back next time.

But Qin Di knew very well in his heart that if he didn't succeed the first time, the chance of succeeding later would be very small.Because everyone's aptitude is basically fixed, unless there is a qualitative change later, either after getting the fairy fire, the aptitude changes, or the epiphany of the profound laws of heaven, it is possible to change the test results.

The test of the Red Emperor Palace seems to test the ability of each participating disciple to resist fire. In fact, in addition to testing the comprehensive strength of Huo Xiu, it is also necessary to test whether he can adapt to the practice of the Red Emperor. The spirit is selecting disciples, and the more important thing is fate.
