Chapter 229 Sun Jin Talisman Exotic Survival Assessment
Time flies by.

Yu Lie polished his cultivation thoroughly, and also improved his proficiency in spells.

On August [-]th, he woke up early with calm eyes.

In the narrow cage room, beside him, there was a pretty woman sitting cross-legged, staring at him.

The woman is the sister-in-law Luo Sen.In recent days, the other party has returned home too many times, the two of them inevitably and logically lived together in the same room, and did not keep an excessive distance.

But they didn't reach the point of sleeping together in the cage house, they just meditated cross-legged on the same bed.

Yu Lie stood up and saw his sister-in-law looking at him, so he saluted her and exchanged greetings for a while.

In the end, he pointed to the birdcage hanging in the house and said: "This bird will take care of my sister-in-law for a while."

Luo Sen glanced at Brother Hei, nodded in response: "Yes."

In the assessment of the Taoist Palace, except for living things closely related to the Taoist cultivation base such as Gu insects, the rest such as monsters and spirit beasts are often prohibited from being carried. This is to prevent the Taoist from relying too much on external forces during the assessment, and even There are also requirements for pills and spells.

From the notes given by his sister-in-law, Yu Lie also saw that there was an assessment in previous years. The assessment rules of the Taoist Palace simply stripped the Taoist, leaving only his clothes, and then threw them into the secret realm of the assessment.

Such harsh conditions are very detrimental to mana and means for most Taoists.

If Yu Lie encounters this kind of assessment, all his preparations will be in vain.

The content of the assessment was kept secret, and Yu Lie could only pray that he would not encounter such strict assessment rules.

After a few more greetings, Yu Lie bowed and was about to step out of the room.

At this moment, Luo Sen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly said, "Wait!"

She got off the bed, and a pale golden charm slowly flew out of her sleeve, landed on her fingertips, and handed it to Yu Lie.

"I see that although you have mastered two spells, one for offense and one for defense, the one for protection is not an aura barrier. This spell is called 'Sun Gold Talisman', and it is a seventh-rank medium spell. Dao Palace is included in the optional spells."

When Yu Lie heard this, his face was startled slightly, and then he showed joy, and replied:
"I've heard of this spell before. It can be used repeatedly, and it can resist swords, spears, halberds, magical auras, especially the attacks of ghosts and ghosts. Sister-in-law has taken care of it!"

Seventh-grade charms are not difficult for Taoists to obtain.After all, even the more powerful Taoist boy can obtain spells such as the seventh rank and the last.

But above the seventh grade and above, the price of the spell is much more expensive for each small step.

Ordinary Taoists who can prepare bottom-of-the-box charms for themselves are often only lower-level Taoists of the seventh rank, wealthy, and high-level Taoists with sufficient cultivation, and they will prepare mid-level seventh-rank and above spells for themselves.

In addition to the high price, it is also because the higher the grade of the spell, the Taoist's own true energy must also be qualified in order to use it.

For example, a sixth-rank Taoist spell, even if a Taoist who has completed the entire Taoist stage of cultivation, as long as he does not break through to become a Taoist in a day and has no spiritual consciousness, he should not even think about using the sixth-rank spell. In the hands of Taoists, the effect may not necessarily be better than that of seventh-rank spells.

It seems that there are strict regulations of the Taoist court, prohibiting Taoist priests and others from drawing low-threshold spells.

Among the seventh-grade charms that can be used in the rest of the list, the "Sunjin Talisman" brought out by his sister-in-law Luo Sen is already top-notch. It is not only within the range he can use, but also because it can replenish aura and be used repeatedly. One sheet is equivalent to multiple sheets, almost a high-quality blood vessel.

Such life-saving things, Yu Lie would not be hypocritical and polite.

He was not polite, and immediately bowed deeply: "Thank you sister-in-law for the gift!"

Seeing that Yu Lie had accepted her spell, the indifferent expression on Luo Sen's face eased a lot. She showed a slight smile and urged:

"Although the assessment is important, life is even more important. Don't think that there will be no accidents during the assessment because you have the brand of Dao Palace."

The other party said meaningfully: "Although the loss rate of each round of assessment is not much, if it falls on your head, it will be 100%.

Remember, life is the most important thing! "

The sister-in-law's words made Yu Lie raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling that there was a deep meaning in what the other party said.

He thought to himself: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the loss rate announced by the Taoist Palace..."

However, this question cannot be answered in a short while. Yu Lie kept his distracting thoughts in his heart, but his vigilance inevitably increased a lot.

After continuing to speak a few words, Yu Lie said goodbye completely and walked out of the house.

Lawson sent him all the way to the end of the aisle, watching him leave from afar.

Going straight all the way, Yu Lie walked through the corridor at the bottom, and took the upper ground worm.

After more than an hour, he came to the center of Qianzhou Dao City.

That's right, the place where the Dao Palace is located is the central area of ​​Qianzhou Dao City, which is the core area of ​​Dao City.

Yu Lie had occasionally passed by the central area before, but when he came again, he was still dazzled by the scene of the central area.

He saw a school of pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings, which appeared in his eyes, antique, romantic and elegant.

The most special thing is that the number of floors of these pavilions is not high, the highest is only nine floors, which is in sharp contrast with the buildings in other areas.

These pavilions are not high, but the light is sufficient, because the height of the area where they are located is sufficient, and it is the highest point in the entire Dao City.

After Yu Lie walked out of the groundworm, he breathed the fresh air nearby, and felt that the aura in the air was stronger than other places.If he had no money to rent a house or coffin, and could hang out on the streets of this core area, the progress of cultivation would not be too slow.

It's a pity that there is a curfew in Dao City. When it's late at night, the streets are dangerous and no one dares to linger casually.

With thoughts surging in his heart, Yu Lie walked through various buildings all the way, and found two obvious divisions among the Taoists around him.

One of them was dressed luxuriously and exquisitely, and his cultivation level was generally good, while the other was like him, his cultivation level was not high, and his expression was either excited or disturbed.

Needless to say, the latter kind came to participate in the Dao Palace assessment.

After a while, Yu Lie followed the route to a square that looked like an altar. Just above the square, a fairy talisman was suspended, emitting endless golden light.

At this time, the altar square was already crowded with nearly half of the people, and the scene was noisy, with all kinds of people present.

Yu Lie glanced roughly, and estimated that there were tens of thousands of people on the altar, and this was just this altar.

This made Yu Lie feel a little nervous, thinking to himself: "The assessment of the Taoist Palace is held every year, and there are arrangements every month. There are at least twelve rounds a year, and the number of times can be considered frequent... I didn't expect the number of people participating this time. Still so many."

And according to what he knew, in each round of assessment, the number of people recruited by the Dao Palace is usually only around a thousand.

These thousand people are not selected from one immortal altar, but from all the people who participated in the assessment today, which can be said to be one in a hundred, one in a thousand.

It is undoubtedly not an easy thing to stand out from such a base group of people.

Yu Lie also really understood why passing the assessment does not necessarily mean that he can enter the Taoist Palace, but he must have a letter of recommendation, and even a letter of recommendation may not be useful.

There is no other reason, the base of Taoists in the city is too large.

Fortunately, Yu Lie immediately looked around and found that the Taoists beside him were either inferior in cultivation or inferior in age.

Young, mature and experienced people like Yu Lie, there were some on the scene, but those who fell in the crowd were all like a stand out from the crowd, which attracted people's attention.

This made Yu Lie calm down, convinced that although he hadn't participated in the assessment yet, he was considered to be among the best among the people in the assessment, and the possibility of being admitted to the Taoist Palace was not low.

His mind was fixed: "Pindao's half a year of preparation was not for nothing."

Yu Lie came not too early or too late, and there was at least an hour before the start of the assessment.

There were more and more Taoists on the altar, and they came and went frequently, so he simply found an open space in the corner of the scene, sat cross-legged on the spot, adjusted his mood, and nourished his true energy.

From time to time, the sound of discussions and conversations from people around him appeared in his ears.

There is nonsense in it, and there is also a lot of news worth hearing.

For example, a pair of people who looked like a father and son boarded the altar together, one fat and one thin, both came to participate in the assessment.

The fat and strong man pointed to the higher and higher pavilions and mountains towards the center, and said: "If you can worship in the Taoist palace, you can enter it, and you will no longer live between Zhangchi. If you can be in the Taoist palace, you must If you break through to rank seven before your birthday, even we can enter this place with you to enjoy the blessings."

Hearing the words, the thin young Taoist's eyes lit up slightly, and he said: "I don't know what is the scene inside that palace, what is the good fortune?"

The young Taoist paused for a moment, and asked the fat man: "Dare to ask my father, if he can be promoted to a Taoist priest in the Taoist palace, what kind of treatment will he have, and where will he live? Is he directly giving this house on the mountain as his private property?"

The fat man nodded, but suddenly pointed to the mountain top in the clouds, and said: "I heard that there are even more caves above the mountains. The buildings are so far away from the ground that you can almost pick up stars. The Taoist priest may be regarded as the real person who cultivates immortals and seeks the Tao."

Speaking of this, the other party involuntarily lowered his voice: "It is rumored that people who have entered the Taoist palace are only equivalent to the outer disciples in ancient times. Only those who have cultivated to the seventh rank can be regarded as formal disciples, or inner disciples. Teacher. The sixth-rank Taoist priests are the ones who enter the house and pass on the truth..."

When Yu Lie heard this, he couldn't help but opened his eyes, and looked at the place where the Taoist palace that the two of them were talking about was located.

What the other two mentioned was not mentioned in sister-in-law Luo Sen's notes.

He didn't yearn for it and thought: "It turns out that the most quintessential and richest place in the whole Taoist city is only the outer gate and inner gate of the Taoist palace. The real Taoist priests live in the clouds!"

This made Yu Lie belatedly understand why he has been in Qianzhou Taoist City for more than half a year, and there are tens of thousands of Taoist priests in the city, but he has never seen any cultivator of the sixth rank or above Cheese.

It turns out that the huge Taoist city is only used to accommodate Taoists of the lower third rank. In the eyes of real sixth-rank Taoist priests, this Taoist city is just like ordinary people.

In addition to the pair of fat and thin father and son beside him, other news from the Xianlu altar entered Yu Lie's ears from time to time, outlining the image of the Taoist palace in his heart more comprehensively.

It’s just that the words of the people around are of no value other than gaining some insight. The most important things are either what Yu Lie already knew, or what Luo Sen mentioned in his notes, and there is no difference. .

There were more and more people on the altar, and amidst the noise, experienced Taoists set up stalls on the altar, yelling in low voices, and engaged in gambling.

The content of the opponent's bet is today's round of assessment, which one will it be.

Whether it's performing martial arts, or training in the outer city; whether it's skill assessment, or classic study; whether it's exploring the secret realm, or fighting to the death...there are so many choices.

In addition to gambling games, some experienced Taoists also took the opportunity to sell the so-called assessment book in their hands, saying that it was a hype, high quality and low price, and persuaded people around them to buy it quickly for peace of mind.

I don't know whether the other generation came to participate in the assessment or to sell things.

There are many people with mixed mouths and all kinds of people. .

In the noise, time passed one by one.

As it got closer to three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining on the altar, and the noisy Taoists seemed to have been sunburned, and the discussion gradually died down.

When everyone was looking forward to how today's assessment would start, an inexplicable voice suddenly appeared in everyone's minds, buzzing.

"Decree: The way of humanity is slim, the way of immortality is boundless.

Today, I am a Taoist, comfortable and relaxed, I don’t know cruelty, I only scratch the surface.

Those who want to enter my Taoist palace must walk the road with blue threads, step on the sword and step on the sword, and survive from death. "

The voice was indistinguishable from male to female, it was loud and deafening, and the tone was rigid and awkward, echoing repeatedly in everyone's minds.

Everyone on the altar became silent as if they had been cast with a silencing spell.

But after the inexplicable voice chanted it twice, at the third time, someone on the altar began to cry out:
"The blue thread on the hard road? This assessment turned out to be a survival assessment!"

"What?" A Taoist didn't know why, so he hurriedly asked the people around him: "What kind of situation is this survival test?"

When Yu Lie came back to his senses, his pupils also shrunk slightly, and he took a breath and said to himself: "It seems that everyone in this round is not very lucky."

In the Dao Palace assessment, there are several types of assessment methods that are the most difficult and tormenting. One of them is to strip people off, and the other is to make people survive.

In a nutshell, this kind of assessment is to throw Taoist disciples into a foreign world, so that people can find their own way of life, remember bitterness and think sweetness, and make meritorious deeds.

This kind of assessment involving foreign worlds often has the highest loss rate for Taoists, which is full of dangers.
