Chapter 667: Yicheng Mountain Range

If you want to say which sect in Nanjue Kingdom is the most familiar to Lei Luo, it is naturally the Demon Flame Sect.

He killed the young master of the Demon Flame Sect, and killed an elder surnamed Wang and an elder stationed in the Flame Mountain Range on the other side, and slaughtered the four branches of this sect in the Nanjue Kingdom.

The Demon Flame Sect has a common enmity with him, and it was this sect that invaded the Dongyue Kingdom that year, which made him and Chen Lingxue separate for more than a hundred years, and caused him to live on the three overseas islands.

Although because of a coincidence, he broke through his cultivation in the overseas immortal cultivation world, and condensed Jin Dan and came back to condense Yuan Ying, but the hatred between him and the Demon Flame Sect did not disappear.

However, when he thought of the Demon Flame Sect, Lei Luo's mind once again appeared with a pretty face of a woman with an indifferent expression and no emotion.

"Youyou!" he unconsciously said the other party's name at the corner of his mouth.

Not only the name, but there were scenes in his mind, a little girl's suffering life, which made him even less fond of the Demon Flame Sect.

Uiseong Mountains.

Among the nine major sects of the Nanjue Kingdom, the Demon Flame Sect's sphere of influence is in the southeast of the Nanjue Kingdom, and it has borders with the Agni Gate, the Hehuan Sect, and the Blood Beast Sect.

The Flame Gate is to the north of the Demon Flame Sect, the Hehuan Sect is to the west of the Demon Flame Sect, and the Blood Beast Sect is to the southwest of the Demon Flame Sect, and the border between this sect and the Demon Flame Sect is smaller than the other two sects.

This Yicheng Mountain Range is a mountain range in the north of the Demon Flame Sect's sphere of influence, although this mountain range is not big, but the north and south sides of the mountain range belong to the two major sects respectively, so this place is considered a junction.

After Lei Luo said goodbye to Murong Yan from Kaiyang City, he said goodbye to Murong Qian at the junction of the two realms of righteousness and demons, and it took more than three months before he came all the way east to this Yicheng Mountain Range.

Starting from here to the south, as long as it is in Nanjue, it is the territory of the Demon Flame Sect, and he has also encountered a lot of Demon Flame Sect monks along the way.

Most of these monks were low-level cultivators, and some of them even only cultivated during the Qi cultivation period, so he didn't even have the desire to make a move.

Because these disciples of the Demon Flame Sect are all out to do some trial tasks, and some are even responsible for the recruitment of disciples in some remote areas, to put it bluntly, they are running errands for the Demon Flame Sect.

Moreover, the young people who escorted were all people with extremely poor qualifications, most of them were miscellaneous spirit roots and waste spirit roots, which was similar to Lei Luo's qualifications.

Hongyi Town.

It is the largest town within a radius of 1,000 miles from the Uiseong Mountains, and it is said to be a town, but it has a permanent population of tens of thousands, and the townspeople who live there are hunters who have been hunting in the Uiseong Mountains for generations.

There are also some small villages dotted around Hongyi Town, and the villagers of these villages naturally rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, even if they don't know how to hunt, they will go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, etc., and then sell them in the town to make a living.

Every fifteen years, children and young people over the age of 10 from the surrounding villages send them to Hongyi Town to attend the temple of worship in the town to participate in the firing ceremony.

The Nanjue Kingdom is ruled by the nine major sects, and they do not support any secular regimes, so secular people are no strangers to the whereabouts of immortal cultivators and so on.

To put it bluntly, this opening ceremony is to send those young people to Hongyi Town, and then the only one in the town to use the magic weapon to test their qualifications.

Every fifteen years, the Demon Flame Sect would send a group of disciples to the front to find young people with immortal cultivation qualifications, and their destination was these worship temples like those in Hongyi Town.

When Lei Luo came to Hongyi Town, he saw that all the villages had arranged for a team to escort a group of children and teenagers to participate in the opening ceremony.

Among this group of people, the oldest is even about eighteen or nineteen, twenty or so, and the youngest is more than ten years old.

However, what surprised Lei Luo was that the immortal cultivators of this Nanjue Kingdom were indeed very popular, even in such a remote mountainous location, there would be a qi cultivator who had cultivated to reach the sixth level of qi training.

When he walked to Hongyi Town, he didn't take a few steps before he saw the crowd in front of him, all of whom had come to the door of a dark red temple.

This building is the so-called Offering Hall, and it is a place where the qualifications of children are tested in various places under the rule of the Demon Flame Sect.

If the child of any family is found to have the qualification of cultivating immortals, then that family will be rewarded with a certain amount of money to ensure that their family has no worries about food and clothing, which has to admire the immortal cultivation world of Nanjue Kingdom.

In the Dongyue Kingdom, many casual cultivators often suffer from the resources of the exercises and so on from the beginning of their birth, and some have not even entered the five sects of the Dongyue Kingdom in their lives.

There are even some casual cultivators with superior qualifications who are gradually buried in their talents, and in the end, they can only cultivate to the lower level of Qi cultivation, and they suffer from the lack of high-level cultivation methods and end up depressed.

Even if you are a Heavenly Spirit Root qualification, if no one discovers your qualification and then enters the Scattered Cultivation Realm, you may think that the reason for the exercises is that you will only have a low level of Qi cultivation for the rest of your life.

When Lei Luo sighed, young people came to Hongyi Town one after another, and then began to line up in a long line under the arrangement of the elders, waiting for the qualification to be tested.

Looking at the long line in front of him, Lei Luo was also quite amused, because he had swept around with his divine sense just now, and in the entire Hongyi Town, there was not a single young man with the qualification of cultivating immortals!

"Immortal cultivators are really one in a thousand, there are probably thousands of young people around here, but none of them have qualifications!" he sighed.

This also shows that the fact that he had a spiritual root at the beginning was actually a great opportunity.

......

Li Hong looked at the children and young people in front of him who were testing their qualifications in his hands, and there was always an indescribable sorrow between his eyebrows.

When another child walked up to the temple with confidence and anticipation, and put his hand on the crystal ball artifact that was being tested, the artifact seemed to be broken and still did not respond.

This made the child's face collapse in an instant, if it weren't for the fact that he was a fairy figure in front of his parents, and he couldn't be presumptuous, maybe this child would have cried immediately.

"Half of this has passed, how come there is no one with qualifications in Hongyi Town!" Li Hong said worriedly.

He is an outer disciple of the Demon Flame Sect stationed abroad, and it is said that the outer disciple is actually sent to the frontier by the Demon Flame Sect, and he may not be able to return to the Demon Flame Sect until he dies.

And his task is also very simple, that is, to garrison Hongyi Town, and every fifteen years, gather children or young people over the age of ten in the town and all territories within a thousand miles to discover their immortal cultivation qualifications.

If these young people have qualifications, then the fifteen-year inspection disciples will take these young people away, and they can also share some spirit stones and cultivation resources.

Li Hong's cultivation is only the sixth layer of Qi cultivation, and his qualification is the four-line miscellaneous spirit root, he was not welcomed in the sect back then, and after the age of thirty, his cultivation is still not allowed to exist, so he was sent out by the Demon Flame Sect to become a person from this outer sect.

His greatest wish now was to dig out young people with cultivation qualifications, so that the patrol disciple would reward him with some resources and spirit stones, which was the only way for low-level cultivators outside the sect to obtain spirit stones.

An hour later, when more than ninety percent of the young people in the entire Hongyi Town had left, and there were only more than ten young people left in the test, Li Hong sighed again.

Because he has now lived for seventy-five years, after being assigned by the Demon Flame Sect, this is the third time he has presided over the Enlightenment Conference, but he still hasn't found any good seedlings.

In other words, in the past forty-five years, he can only rely on his own qualifications to cultivate, without resources such as spirit stones and pills, and even the surrounding mountains have no restrained spiritual veins, which is sad for him.

When the crowd around him gradually dispersed without hope, Li Hong saw a young man in tattered clothes like beggars in the distance approaching cautiously step by step.

The young man was dark-skinned and ordinary-looking, his clothes were covered with patches, and his face was unkempt with many black stains.

But when the young man looked at the crystal ball in front of the temple, his eyes were full of expectation.

Li Hong is no stranger to this kind of gaze, because he also had such a gaze when he participated in this spiritual opening ceremony.

He glanced at the young man in front of him who didn't dare to lean over, then beckoned to him, and pointed to the crystal ball artifact, which meant that you can also give it a try.

Li Hong didn't care that this magic weapon would be damaged by the other party, because after all, a magic weapon is a magic weapon, and it is not something that a secular person will break if he touches it.

When he signaled, the unkempt young man looked happy, and then walked to the side of the crystal ball magic weapon even more cautiously, and his palm was little by little towards the magic weapon, for fear that something would happen.

After Li Hong saw the movements of the little beggar in front of him, he unconsciously showed a smile, because the other party's scared appearance really made people laugh.

But when he thought that he had no reward this year, he sighed again and shook his head.

After all, when you are old, you can see these things, even if you have resources, you may not be able to build a foundation in this life.

Suddenly, a not dazzling light lit up, and Li Hong's wrinkled old face was even tighter, and a pair of eyeballs were about to stare out of his sockets.

Because he never expected that an unintentional move in front of him would really let the other party test his qualifications.

Although this light is very inconspicuous, it also shows that the other party's qualifications are not very good.

But the tattered and unkempt young man in front of him is really one of the people who has the qualifications to cultivate immortals.

Li Hong was taken aback, and then ran to the crystal ball in three steps and two steps, looking at the four-colored light displayed in the magic weapon, his eyes were full of excitement.

"What's your name, young man!" he asked, looking surprised.

"Ah, me, my name is Ergou!"

The little beggar looked stunned, and then stammered his name, looking dazed.

"Hahaha, okay, Ergou, you can become an immortal in the future, hahaha!" Li Hong laughed.

The little beggar was still stunned, as if he didn't understand what the immortal meant.

Li Hong immediately adjusted his mentality, and then glanced at this little beggar called Ergou, and after seeing the other party's clothes, he felt very inappropriate.

After all, no matter what the other party said, they were all young disciples who wanted to join the Demon Flame Sect, how could they be so shabby.

So Li Hong pulled the other party over, and then took him to the temple, where he lived, and then let him take a bath, and changed into a set of clean clothes for the other party.

When he saw the other party again, at least the young man named Ergou was finally not the unkempt little beggar.

"He looks a little old, but after all, he has been wandering for so long and sleeping in the open, which is understandable!" Li Hong said of course.

Then he was in this temple, and he began to tell Ergou, most of them were some basic common sense about the immortal cultivation world, as well as some related matters related to joining the Demon Flame Sect.

Because the second dog in front of him didn't understand anything, his face was stunned, and he was even a little stupid, so Li Hong explained for a few hours, and said that his mouth was dry, and the other party nodded as if he understood.

However, he knew that the other party could not understand much, and he said a lot of things in one go, even if he was a normal person, he would not be able to accept it for a while.

Thinking of this, he chattered again and began the second round of explanations.
