Chapter 22: The Rise of Murder

Seeing the eldest brother talking like this, the short and fat man knew that the tenth-level cultivator in the Qi refining period was not an ordinary monk, so he asked even more curiously: "Big brother, how many days are we late and don't know, who is the person surnamed Lin killed?"

The tall and thin man snorted coldly before he said, "The three people he killed, two of them are all twelfth layer cultivators in the Qi Refining Period, and they are all from the same family, and one of the ancestors of this family is still a senior of the Jindan Stage of the Lei Yan Sect!"

Hearing this, the short and fat man couldn't help but be shocked and said, "He killed the descendants of the predecessors of the Jindan period, how can he still be alive and well?"

The tall and thin man continued: "Because he seems to have a backstage in the Lei Yan Sect, and later he even made a bet with the seniors of the Jindan period and accepted the conditions of fighting again, and the seniors of the Jindan period agreed to him in order to avenge the descendants, and found a master who heard that among the Qi refining period monks of the Lei Yan Sect, the strength is one of the best to fight, but Zuihou still died tragically at his hands, and he was not even injured at all, do you dare to offend such a ruthless person?"

Speaking of this, the short and fat man also gasped, thinking that he was really dizzy just now, if the man surnamed Lin really shot at his own people, I am afraid that he would be in a different place now, wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and said happily: "Fortunately, the eldest brother is here, otherwise the younger brother will really suffer, and when Zaijian arrives at that person in the future, I will go around immediately!"

The speed of recovering mana with a middle-grade spirit stone was more than three times that of a low-level spirit stone, and Lin Tianyang and the others began to climb up again after resting for half an hour.

At this time, on both sides of the mountain road, I saw more and more people meditating on the spot to recover their mana, and even saw the five people who wanted to snatch the middle-level spirit stone before, and the short and fat man who was fierce just now showed an ugly smile at this time, obviously extremely afraid of Lin Tianyang, the three of them saw a feeling of crying and laughing, and Lin Tianyang also understood that after he beheaded three people in a row, he was considered to be famous.

By the time the three of them had reached a height of about 600 zhang, there were very few people at this time, and although the fastest people were close to the summit, most of them were still struggling to climb below this height.

After climbing a hundred zhang height, the three of them rested together again, but it was only noon at this moment, so the three of them were not in a hurry, and they rested for half an hour before they went on the road again, and when they first arrived, the three of them reached the top of the mountain together, and when they arrived at the top of the mountain, the three of them suddenly felt a loosening of their bodies, and there was no gravity restriction on the top of the mountain.

Li Li sat motionless on a boulder at the top of the mountain, and beside her, there were more than a dozen Lei Yan Sect disciples who had been here early in the morning.

Lin Tianyang looked at the nearly a thousand monks who were sitting on the top of the mountain at this time, one step earlier than him, and sighed in his heart, although they were all Qi refining stage cultivators, there was no shortage of Hidden Dragon Crouching Tigers.

Within an hour after that, more and more people reached the top of the mountain, and the originally relatively empty mountain top gradually became overcrowded, and among the people who came up behind, Lin Tianyang was surprised to find that many cultivators who were not more than seven or eight layers of Qi refining period, their speed was slow, and their mana was probably exhausted in the middle of the mountain, and most of them did not have a middle-level spirit stone to recover, and the road behind was probably relying on a willpower that did not admit defeat, and even among these people, there was a little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, Lin Tianyang also admired her very much for being able to persist。

When the time came, Li Li, who was sitting on top of the boulder, suddenly opened her double yang and instructed the disciples of the Lei Yan Sect beside her: "Seal the intersection!"

Hearing her order, under the leadership of the two foundation building period monks, more than a dozen Qi refining period disciples ran together to the intersection leading to the top of the mountain, regardless of the two Qi refining period monks who were more than ten zhang away and were about to climb to the top of the mountain, they immediately played a spell together, and instantly a green wall of light rose at the intersection, and the two Qi refining period monks were shocked when they saw it, and wanted to rush into the light wall, but they were suddenly bounced back by the light wall.

At this time, Li Li stood up from the boulder, her eyes swept over the two Qi Refining Stage cultivators, and said lightly: "The time has come, all those who have not yet been able to reach the top of the mountain should go back, you have lost the opportunity to become an inner disciple, but if you still want to become an outer disciple, you can go to the bottom of the mountain to find Deacon Zuo!"

After Li Li's announcement, all the people who had not yet climbed to the top of the mountain were disappointed in their hearts, and most of them directly gave up the opportunity to become outer disciples, but there were still thousands of people who felt that since they couldn't become inner disciples, it was better to be an outer disciple than to come for nothing!

After announcing their results to those who didn't pass, Li Li followed her gaze and swept over the remaining nearly 10,000 people: "You are either cultivated to a high level, or you are extremely strong-willed, so you can pass the first level, here I congratulate you first, now give you two hours to rest, and then continue the assessment of the second level!"

As soon as he heard that there were only two hours to rest, the people who came up behind him immediately seized the time to continue to recover their mana.

Li Li saw this in her eyes, smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and then asked: "Among you, there are people with heavenly spirit roots, alien spirit roots or special spirit bodies, if you have them, come to me!"

As soon as Lin Tianyang heard this, his heart throbbed, it seemed that this was going to select a core disciple, his eyes swept over the entire mountaintop, and he saw that three people stood up and walked towards Li Li.

Li Li couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw that there were only three people appearing, in the past, when she recruited disciples, there were at least four or five people, and sometimes there were six or seven people, it seems that the number of core disciples will decline again in the next one or two decades.

The three of them, two men and one woman, after walking in front of Li Li, they were all a little nervous, Li Li started with the woman, stretched out her hand and pressed her forehead, and after a while, she nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, it is actually the Heavenly Spirit Root of Mu Linggen, what is your name?"

"Little girl Liu Ye, Yongzhou Sanxiu!" the woman replied respectfully.

Hearing that it was a loose cultivation, Li Li seemed to be more satisfied, and looked at her and nodded incessantly.

Then she tested the latter two, but both of them were alien spirit roots, although they were good, but they were still inferior to the heavenly spirit roots.

After the inspection, Li Li directly transmitted to the three of them: "The three of you will go with this nephew of Master Qiu later, and you don't have to participate in the next assessment!"

The three of them glanced at each other in a little surprise, and then said with surprise on their faces: "Thank you, Senior Li!"

Watching the three of them leave the top of the mountain under the guidance of a foundation-building monk, everyone looked a little surprised, but most of them didn't care, obviously they also understood the situation.

And after they left, Li Li continued: "Among you, there are people who are over twenty-five years old and have not yet reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining Period, and there are also people who are over thirty years old, although you have violated the rules and participated in the inner gate assessment, but for the sake of you passing the first level, go down the mountain directly!
