Chapter 6 The First Test
"Don't go far, the immortal won't wait too long."

The townspeople were discussing in twos and threes, most of them were squatting or sitting in the shade of the trees, taking out the water and dry food they brought, and only one person who ran out of water left the team.

Zhu Qing and Tao Hua found a place with a lot of shade, squatted down and unpacked their bundles.

Zhu Qing's baggage was full of oiled paper bags, some wrapped pancakes, some steamed buns, some boiled eggs, and some wrapped dry scones and baked buns.

There are only two small oil-paper bags in Tao Hua's luggage, and the rest are clothes and the like.

"I found that sister Zhu Qing has a big appetite, so I packed some more dry food for you, and also put in the leftover cake and eggs from the morning. You can eat the cake and eggs first, so as not to spoil them."

Zhu Qing was wondering why Tao Hua would pack so much food for her, so Tao Hua opened her mouth.

"Actually, my appetite is not that big. It's just that I was happier before, so I ate more."

Zhu Qing explained with an awkward smile.

"Sister Zhu Qing, if you can't finish eating, you can give me some. Anyway, you have to finish the food that can't be kept for a long time."

After Tao Hua finished speaking, she picked up a pancake and took a big bite.

"Ah."

Zhu Qing handed her an egg, because Tao Hua didn't have any eggs in her bag.

She eats and observes the others.

The only ones who were busy eating were her, a monk who hadn't yet bigu, and the ordinary townspeople. Wei Changting and the rest of the Tianjianzong disciples were standing quietly in front of the team, probably on guard.

The food Qian Zilin took out seemed to be Roujiamo, and he ate slowly, while the beggar-looking boy only took off the old water bottle hanging from his waist, and drank a few sips of water.

"Immortal, I didn't bring anything to eat, can you let me find something to eat nearby?"

The beggar-looking boy hesitated for a long time, and finally walked up to Wei Changting.

"Of course, but you have to pay attention to the time, I will wait for you for a quarter of an hour at most."

Wei Changting was gentle and authentic.

"Thank you fairy."

The young man immediately beamed with joy, and was about to walk into the woods after speaking.

"Wait a minute, I have a lot of food here, I can share some with you, so don't go."

Zhu Qing had been paying attention to this beggar-looking young man, seeing that he was coming towards her, so he stopped him.

"is it okay?"

The young man looked up at Zhu Qing, his eyes trembling slightly.

"There is only a deep river nearby, and there are no fruits on the trees. There is nothing to eat. You don't need to waste your efforts."

Zhu Qing gave him both steamed buns and scones.

"Thank you."

Holding two greased paper bags, the young man bowed his head in thanks.

"May I know your name?"

Before leaving, he looked up at Zhu Qing again, asking in a low voice, as if a little shy.

"My surname is Zhu, and my single name is Qing."

Zhu Qing smiled slightly.

"I... My name is Qingxi, Qingqing, the stream of stream water."

He stammered.

"The name is good, I remember it, you should hurry up and eat something."

Zhu Qing didn't forget that the child only brought a pot of water, and he was probably starving already.

"Ah."

Qingxi nodded obediently, took the oiled paper bag and returned to the place where she was staying, far away from everyone, took out the steamed buns and started to gobble them up.

"Sister Zhu Qing, you gave him a third at once, is the rest really enough to eat?"

Tao Hua, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"Just enough to eat for a day or two. After passing through this forest, there should be villages and towns. It's good to add some dry food then."

Zhu Qing said it almost without thinking, after all her appetite is really not that big.

"How does Sister Zhu Qing know that there will be villages and towns after passing through this forest?"

Tao Hua pursed her lips slightly, as if unwilling to let go.

"I mean there should be, logically there should be."

Zhu Qing suddenly felt guilty.

Since she is only at the early stage of foundation establishment, she still can't release her spiritual consciousness, and the spells that can be used for large-scale inspection consume quite a lot of spiritual energy. She doesn't plan to use them. How can she be sure whether there are villages or towns nearby? ?
"What if it doesn't?"

Tao Hua's small mouth pouted even higher.

"That's okay, we can still rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water."

Zhu Qing had enough confidence again.

Whether there are villages or towns and whether food can be obtained are two different things. Even if she can only dig wild vegetables, pick wild mushrooms, and pick wild fruits to eat, Tao Hua will not let Tao Hua go hungry.

"Ok."

Tao Hua still looked unhappy, but she didn't say anything more, she just quickly finished eating the eggs and pancakes, and put the burden back on her back.

Seeing that most of the people had finished eating, Wei Changting discussed in a low voice with the other three Tianjianzong disciples.

Not long after, Zhou Suqin, the only female disciple inside, stood up and said in a loud voice: "This place is still far away from Tianjianzong. In the next few days, we will do the same as today. Hurry up, except for eating and sleeping at night. In addition, there will be no other rest time, if you can't hold on, you can return the disciple card now and go back to the town."

"What does it mean?"

A townsman who stood closer to the front asked very suspiciously.

"This is the first round of tests for you. Those who can't persist in walking to our Tianjianzong will be eliminated."

Zhou Suqin had a serious face.

"How long will it take to walk from here to Tianjianzong?"

The townsman who originally asked the question asked again.

"At least a month."

Zhou Suqin replied meticulously.

"Isn't one month too long? I thought it would only take a few days at most..."

"My mother, how can I bear it after walking for a month?"

Some townspeople suddenly changed their faces.

"You can choose to go back, this place is not far from Daoxiang Town, you can rush back to the town before dark."

Zhou Suqin's face remained unchanged.

"Immortal, why didn't you say it earlier?"

The townspeople who asked the question seemed a little helpless.

"That's right, if I had known that I would have to travel so long to reach Tianjianzong, I wouldn't have come out today, so why would I have to suffer this?"

The townspeople who were closer to the front agreed one after another.

"The immortal said, this is a test for you, if you can't insist on going back, can you blame the immortal?"

Qian Zilin stepped forward and stood in front of Zhou Suqin.

"The test can also be announced in advance, isn't this a waste of time?"

A dark, thin, unremarkable man muttered quietly.

"You haven't even made up your mind to become a monk. Why did you take the spiritual root test?"

Qian Zilin showed a slightly sarcastic smile.

"Who doesn't want to be a fairy? Can't I try my luck?"

The man replied confidently.

"Has no one ever told you that cultivating immortals is a very difficult thing?"

Qian Zilin's smile became even more sarcastic.

"How do I know this? I didn't know Xiuxian before."

The man's eyes dodged, but he still spoke confidently.
