Chapter 1407: The End of the Year Trial

As soon as the next day dawned, the spacious hall of the Nanwu Hall was full of people, and Li Mo's life in the Drifting Ice Palace began.

According to the regulations of the outer sect, these disciples will be instructed every three days, teaching and preaching in the morning, and after the preaching, the disciples will interact with the teachings, or ask questions, or learn from each other, and in the afternoon they will practice on their own.

It is worth mentioning that these teachings of the outer gate are all hired from the inner disciples. In other words, these inner disciples preach once, but they have to be paid, although I don't know what the specific form of remuneration is, but it is certainly not free.

It has been a while since he came to the Arctic Drift Ice Palace, and Li Mo also has some general understanding of the situation in the Arctic Drift Ice Palace. Outer disciples have to pay a certain amount of materials or a certain task after completing the merit value to exchange merit points. As the Extreme North Drift Ice Palace, it can set the rules of exchange, and it can set the price of each exercise and martial art, so it can be said that it can make a profit to maintain the operation of the outer gate.

Therefore, for the outer disciples, the Arctic Drift Ice Palace provides them with a platform to hear the Tao, a safe environment, and an opportunity to enter the inner gate. What they need to pay is some materials. For most people, this is also extremely rare.

The Arctic Drift Ice Palace does not prohibit its disciples from going out, but they just need to report to the Martial Palace, so there are often disciples who leave the Ice Palace to travel, and even leave for several months, and there are not a few who leave the Arctic Ice Field. But this is mostly for inner disciples. Due to their low cultivation, the outer disciples generally do not leave the Arctic Drift Ice Palace too far, at most, they go to the Ice City or pick some medicines or hunt some demon beasts in the surrounding area, and pay them to the Hundred Crafts Hall in exchange for merit points, in order to exchange for various martial arts and cultivation materials.

Today's preacher is a middle-aged man named Liang Fang, who was in the early stage of the Spiritual Realm. This Senior Brother Liang Fang also went out from the Nanwu Hall back then, so he had an excellent attitude towards everyone. Li Mo's cultivation has never been instructed, and it is all based on Mu Li's guidance for a few days and his own exploration. At this time, listening to Liang Fang's more systematic explanation, it was like entering a treasure trove, and many problems encountered in the cultivation process suddenly became clear.

Hearing the Tao in the morning and practicing in the afternoon, the whole day passed unconsciously, although he felt extremely tired, Li Mo still returned to the room with a satisfied look, he was immersed in the world of cultivation all day, and even Yan Chunxuan forgot it for the time being.

At the end of the day, Li Mo gained a lot, and when he returned to the room to rest for a while, Li Mo quickly immersed himself in the world of cultivation again.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it had been two months since Li Mo and them started. In these two months, everyone has made great progress.

Among them, Li Mo has made the greatest progress. Before Li Mo got started, he only simply cultivated the Burning Sun Exercises, which led to his deficiencies in martial arts, but it also made the True Yuan in his body much more condensed than others, which was caused by Li Mo's lack of distractions on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also related to the Burning Sun Exercises themselves.

Li Mo would occasionally wonder which grade his Burning Sun Technique belonged to. He faintly found that the true yuan in his body was not ordinarily profound, and compared to those outer disciples who cultivated the Cold Ice Exercises, his true yuan was more than half. Maybe this was a surprise from the master, Li Mo guessed.

By the end of the year, Li Mo was already at the peak of the True Yuan Realm, and he was only half a step away from the Condensation Realm.

In addition to Shen Qing's daily cultivation, most of his time and thoughts were completely on Su Tang's body, and it seemed that this young master of the Four Seas Business Alliance had real feelings for Su Tang.

Chu Xiu was also at the peak of the True Yuan Realm at this time, and the level of the formation had also made great progress, and it was surprising that there was also a proficient morality in the teaching of the inner courtyard, which made Chu Xiu have a place to calm his doubts.

And Yan Qingxuan has reached the peak of the Condensation Pulse Realm, and he is one step away from being able to open his soul and become an inner disciple, with a beautiful and incomparable face, amazing and brilliant qualifications, which can be called a god-fast progress, making Yan Qingxuan the object of attention. Mo said that it was at the outer gate, and even at the inner gate, someone vaguely talked about Yan Qingxuan's name.

But Yan Qingxuan's whole mind was on cultivation, and the degree of hard cultivation was enough to make most of the disciples embarrassed. In addition, Yan Qingxuan has a cold personality and does not shy away from anyone's shame, so she has earned the nickname of Ice and Snow Fairy.

The relationship between Li Mo and Yan Qingxuan seemed to have come to a standstill, although the two would nod and say hello when they heard the Tao, but there was no other excessive contact. It was as if some of the previous things had been forgotten by the two of them.

Luo Chen was safe and sound during this time, Xu was reminded by the Supreme Elder, Luo Chen was extremely low-key, his temperament was a lot calmer, and the relationship with his fellow disciples was also very good, coupled with his deliberate acceptance, and his actions were extremely generous, which made him get the support of many people.

According to the regulations of the outer gate, there will be a martial arts meeting at the end of the year, and the result of the martial arts will be the ranking of the martial arts list, but these disciples of the two martial arts halls and the south courtyard are all newcomers, so they don't have to participate in this year's martial arts, but this does not mean that they will be very relaxed, because the door will conduct a year-end trial for them.

Those who fail to pass the trial will be given half of all merit points and supplies for the next year, and those who perform extremely poorly in the trial may even be expelled from the Arctic Drift Ice Palace.

In addition to 1,000 merit points per month, some medicinal herbs will also be distributed in the door every month. These merit values and medicinal materials are still very important to the disciples of the two academies, so the disciples of the two academies are all gearing up and waiting for the battle.

Based on the above points, the disciples of the two academies attached great importance to this trial.

The first day of December is suitable for travel. The trial of the outer disciples was scheduled on this day.

In the spacious venue of the martial arts hall inside the outer gate of the Arctic Drift Ice Palace, more than 200 disciples who had just joined the Arctic Drift Ice Palace this year stood with solemn expressions. They were dressed in white power suits with cyan belts around their waists, which was the attire of the outer disciples. The inner disciples are dressed in cyan clothes and tied with jade belts.

On the platform in front of the disciples, the hall master of the Nanwu Hall and another middle-aged man stood side by side, and behind the two stood two disciples in Tsing Yi.

Ouyang Hai said with a serious expression: "This trial is a major event in the door, the newly entered disciples of the South Martial Hall and the North Martial Hall will participate, the results of the trial will be announced on a later date, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, I will discuss with the Yang Hall Master, the first place in the trial will be rewarded with 100,000 meritorious deeds, the second place is 50,000, and the third place is 30,000, please go all out!"

As soon as Ouyang Hai's voice fell, everyone's life exploded, "One hundred thousand merit points, my God, this is too much!" A disciple couldn't help but exclaim.

"Haha, master, I'm worried that the merit value is not enough, this is the dozing someone sent a pillow to tell you, the first place in this trial, I, Wang Ruobing, are going to decide!" A tall disciple's eyes lit up and he said loudly.

"Hmph, don't talk big yet, you have to look at your true skills when the time comes!" said a tall and thin disciple with a handsome appearance and a bit of evil spirit.

"Yu Hanbing, what do you mean, don't accept that the two of us will fight!" Wang Ruobing shouted.

"Hmph", only to hear a golden-faced middle-aged man standing next to Ouyang Hai snort coldly, all the disciples felt a chill in their hearts, they were all startled, and the scene suddenly calmed down, this golden-faced middle-aged man was Shangguan Jinfeng, the hall master of the Nanwu Palace. This Shangguan Jin Feng and Ouyang Hai's raunchy style are different, I saw that he was dressed in a brocade robe, tall, with a lion nose and eyes, quite powerful.

Shangguan Jin Feng glanced at the disciples, his eyes like lightning. All the disciples were shocked in their hearts, and they couldn't help but bow their heads.

"This person's eyes are so terrifying!" Li Mo said in his heart, "What kind of realm is this Shangguan Hall Master?" It seems that he must be a person with a strong personality!"

Seeing everyone's appearance, Shangguan Jin Feng nodded with satisfaction, and said: "You all heard the words of the Ouyang Hall Lord just now, this trial, the rewards are extremely rich, this is what I and the Ouyang Hall Lord fought for you to the inner door, I hope you will cherish this opportunity and play your own level, but" After a pause, Ouyang Jin Feng said:" In the process of the trial, everyone must abide by the rules, for the sake of everyone's safety, the inner gate specially sent two disciples, Wei Wuji and Xiao Yonghe, to serve as guardians, if any disciple in the process of the trial favoritism, cruelty to the same sect, don't blame me for being polite!"

Wei Wuji and Xiao Yonghe should be the two men in green clothes standing behind Shangguan Jinfeng.

After saying that, Ouyang Jinfeng glanced at the disciples again and said, "Next, I announce that this trial will start now!"

The content of this trial is hunting, compared to the Northern Xuan Continent and the Heavenly Barbarian Wilderness, the Arctic Drift Ice Palace is naturally the north, but what is the place north of the Arctic Drift Ice Palace?

Naturally, there is no shortage of people who have raised this question, but no one has given a definite answer. Hundreds of miles north of the Arctic Drift Ice Palace is an ice field, thousands of kilometers is an ice field, and even tens of thousands of miles north of an ice field, but thousands of miles away, no one knows. There was once a disciple of the Arctic Drift Ice Palace who went to the north to explore, and it was said that he was a disciple of the Yuan Dan Realm. It is said that he spent a whole year working to go thousands of miles deep into the Arctic Drift Ice Palace, and according to his description, the farther north, the cooler the temperature, the heavier the wind and snow, and the farthest place he has ever been is a vortex of ice and snow, forming a gang wind that no one can approach. As for the accuracy, it is not known.

Anyway, from the Arctic Drift Ice Palace all the way to the north, where can it be reached, can it lead to the end of this world? This is indeed an age-old puzzle.

The Arctic Ice Sheet, despite its cold climate, is not productive. In addition to the eternal snow and snow and the four-month-long snow season every year, the scenery around the Arctic Drift Ice Palace is also impressive. The ice fields are also home to animals unique to the ice fields, such as snow leopards, ice wolves, ice foxes, ice bears, ice pythons, and even the legendary snow trolls.

About a thousand miles north of the Arctic Drift Ice Palace, there is a canyon with a radius of hundreds of miles called the Snowmelt Land. It is said that it was once a volcano 10,000 years ago, so the temperature here is much higher than that of the surrounding area, and a dense forest has formed.

The unique climate and environment of the Snowmelt Land make it a paradise for all kinds of monsters. Although the Arctic Ice Sheet is bitterly cold, due to the miracle of the Creator, there are still many magical places similar to the land of melting snow, which provide a habitat for many demon beasts and a place for many elixirs to grow, and these demon beasts and spiritual objects have also become resources for human monks to cultivate. It can be said that the resources of the Far North Drift Ice Palace depend on these places.

The Snowmelt Land is far away from the Arctic Drift Ice Palace, so it is rarely visited, so it has not been destroyed, and it is an excellent place for trial. The Drift Ice Palace of the Far North also took great pains for this trial.

The content of this trial is hunting. The disciples who participated in the trial entered the snowmelt land at sunrise on the same day, and gathered at the entrance at sunset the next day, and counted the prey in public, and the one who hunted the most was the champion.

As early as a month ago, the Arctic Drift Ice Palace sent the inner disciples to investigate the inside and outside of the snowmelt land, at this time, there were no spirit beasts above the existence of spirit beasts in the snowmelt land, and the two third-level spirit beasts that had dominated here for a long time had been killed by the inner disciples who came to investigate.

At this time, the strongest demon beast in the Snowmelt Land was a ninth-level demon beast Ice Spirit Leopard, which was equivalent to a Terran monk at the peak of the Condensation Realm. Among the disciples who were about to enter the trial, the lowest strength was also in the early stage of the True Yuan Realm, and the highest strength such as Yan Qingxuan, Luo Chen, and Yu Hanbing were already in the late stage of the Condensation Realm.

Yu Hanbing is a disciple of the South Hall of the Northern Martial Palace, and he is one of the few people with extremely high strength. He is also one of the people with the highest call to win the championship in this trial.

Although there are no spirit beasts in this trial, most of the demon beasts live in groups and often move together, and a martial artist in the late stage of the Condensation Realm can deal with three seventh-level demon beasts, but when they encounter ten or twenty seventh-level demon beasts, they will be more than lucky. Therefore, the hunting process is also extremely dangerous. Although Wei Wuji and Xiao Yonghe were the surveillance envoys of this trial, they also had the intention of protecting the disciples.

The statistics of hunting results are based on a point system. Killing a ninth-level demon beast is ninety, eighth-level demon beast is eighty points, and so on, the one with the most points wins.
