In fact, it is not like this. After being brought to Shuyuan Valley, these disciples still need to undergo the most critical test of physical fitness, perseverance and courage. Only by passing this most critical test can they truly worship into Shuyuan Valley.
This test is personally supervised by the five hall masters throughout the process. It is roughly divided into two levels. The first level is to climb the Wanzhang Ladder. The Wanzhang Ladder is built on a very high peak in the north of the Purple Lake in Shuyuan Valley. This peak is Shuyuan Valley.
It is the tallest peak in the valley, and it is precisely because of the height of this mountain that the depth of Shuyuan Valley is created.
I don’t know whether it was due to the work of Bei Qilin, the founder of Shuyuan Valley, or the previous hall masters of Shuyuan Valley, but a steep and narrow ladder was built from the bottom corner of Tianfeng and climbed up into the sky, which is the peak of Tianfeng.
The top.
Disciples of all generations have climbed to the top of Tianfeng to test their physical fitness and perseverance when entering the valley. There are about 100,000 steps down the stone ladder, and each step of the ladder is straight and steep, which is very dangerous.
The Tianfeng is upright, towering into the sky, about ten thousand feet high. This ladder is also ten thousand feet high, so it is called the "Ten Thousand Zhang Ladder" by the disciples in the valley. Not to mention climbing to the top of the Tianfeng, it is halfway up the peak, and you can look down at it.
, the hanging ladder behind him points straight down, and below is a bottomless abyss, shrouded in clouds and mist, as if he were in mid-air. Those who are more timid will have their feet trembling, their hearts beating out of fear, and they shout "Wow!"
Climbing to the top of Tianfeng, no matter how fast it is, will take three days and three nights. During the period of climbing the Tianfeng, you are allowed to bring some dry food and water. But you cannot bring too much. This is not a rule imposed by the valley.
It's because bringing too much food becomes a burden.
Successfully climbing to the top of Tianfeng means that he has successfully passed the first level. Only when he has passed the test of physical fitness and perseverance can he pass the test. Then, a disciple of Shuyuan Valley with profound spiritual power will fly up and take him back to the place under Tianfeng.
In the valley.
After passing the first level, the second level is to descend into the abyss. Deep in the heart of the south of the Purple Lake, there is the deepest ravine in the Shuyuan Valley. This ravine is extremely long and slender, like a mark made by an immortal in ancient times.
The long knife split the earth like a huge hole. The mouth of the ravine was narrow and narrow, but underneath it was extremely deep. This ravine is known as the largest abyss in the world in the southern water area, and even in the entire continent of China.
It is so deep that it is said to lead directly to the ghost realm. It is said that this deep ravine is full of strange things. Disciples who have gone down there say that there are ghosts and monsters haunting the deepest depths. It would be strange for those who are timid not to be scared to death.
New disciples who have passed the first level test will be taken to the mouth of this narrow ravine. Because the rock walls of the ravine are extremely steep and smooth, and there is water vapor seeping out, they cannot climb down with bare hands. They have spiritual power.
The skilled Shuyuan Valley disciples used spiritual weapons to take the disciples who participated in the test down one by one, and then threw them at the bottom of the deep ditch, leaving them to "fend for themselves" below. Anyway, the Shuyuan Valley disciples will not go down to the valley after seven days.
Pick up people. Those who are not frightened crazy and are very conscious will successfully pass this level.
This is a test of courage and courage. After passing the test of courage and courage, you can be officially admitted into the Valley of Magic as a new entry-level disciple.
Those who fail the test will be sent home by Shuyuan Valley disciples.
During the testing process of these two levels, the five hall masters will participate in the whole process. During the participation process, each disciple's testing situation must be clearly understood. If there is a disciple you like, you can take the lead and choose your own.
In the hall. If a disciple is favored by two or several hall masters at the same time, the right of choice will be given to the disciple, and he will choose which hall to enter.
If some disciples have poor qualifications but pass the level test, but in the end no hall master takes the initiative to select them, Jiang Yun will be the one to force him to place them in a hall with fewer weak disciples.
Such an arrangement is considered fair and reasonable. Even if it is a little bit unfair, it can be ignored.
Some people may ask, compared to other immortal sects in mainland China, Shuyuan Valley currently has the smallest number of disciples, the weakest power, and its reputation has not been fully improved. Why is it that there are so many checkpoints when recruiting disciples? Isn't this
Are you intentionally turning away disciples who want to worship in the valley?
In fact, this is not the case. Jiang Yun and the five hall masters must have carefully considered what they did. As the saying goes, it is better to be broken than to be ruined. When recruiting new disciples this time, we must strictly control the quality. We strive to make every student
A new disciple can make breakthroughs in cultivation and achieve certain attainments in a short period of time.
This is the so-called quality route. Only in this way can the strength of Shuyuan Valley be improved as quickly as possible in the shortest time.
Furthermore, Shuyuan Valley has been in decline for many years, and it cannot support too many disciples in terms of reserve materials. The most important of these are the advanced elixirs that are necessary for the disciples to practice on a daily basis.
The Blue Chrysanthemum Pavilion, which is in charge of medical skills and alchemy in Shuyuan Valley, is located in the deep valley on the south side of Shuyuan Valley. Although the terrain here is relatively low, it is like summer all year round and the temperature is quite high. This is because a long time ago, this place was
It is a volcanic crater that erupts lava all year round. Later, as time went by, the activity in the earth's core below gradually weakened. The magma did not erupt again for hundreds of years.
On the surface of the earth, due to the rising water in the ravines, a lot of soil was washed over, bringing nutrients, and many plants gradually grew. However, the activities under the earth's core are still going on here, but they are not as intense as in ancient times.
Therefore, the temperature here is at a high level all year round, and the plants growing here are mainly summer plants. Summer chrysanthemums are particularly planted here, covering almost the entire valley.
The summer chrysanthemums here are completely different from ordinary chrysanthemums. They bloom beautiful flowers all year round, and the flowers are bright blue and fragrant, which is particularly strange.
A building made of marble stands among the large blue chrysanthemums. It has a very elegant name called "Blue Chrysanthemum Pavilion".
Because it is located in the active zone of the center of the earth, Lanju Pavilion has become a holy place for refining elixirs in Shuyuan Valley.
After recruiting the first batch of new disciples, Jiang Yun knew that the pressure on Shuyuan Valley had increased. The shortage of elixirs was the biggest bottleneck in Shuyuan Valley's current development.
On this day, Jiang Yun took Xue Man to control the spiritual weapon Xiao Hei and went to the Blue Chrysanthemum Pavilion in person.
The entire valley where the Lanju Pavilion is located is filled with green smoke. This green smoke comes from the chimney of the alchemy room of the Lanju Pavilion. It must be that the alchemy is being made.
The curator in charge of the Lanju Pavilion is an older disciple of Shuyuan Valley who is over sixty years old, named Lan Qiuming, with a kind look on his face. Hearing the arrival of the new Valley Master, he hurriedly welcomed him out, bringing his own
Several alchemy disciples prostrated themselves in front of Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun hurriedly helped everyone up one by one, without saying too much, and directly asked about the situation of alchemy.
Lan Qiuming had a troubled look on his face and said: "To be honest, alchemy refining in Lanju Pavilion is currently restricted by two major factors. The first is that there is a serious shortage of alchemy materials. Less than half of these original materials are spiritual herbs grown in this valley.
Crops, but most of them need the precious blood and bones of spiritual beasts. In recent years, the Abyssal Valley has been in decline, and few disciples have gone to the Abyss Valley to hunt spiritual beasts. All the goods in stock are very small, and they are almost used up."
Jiang Yun nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, remembering that in the Butterfly Pavilion of Lingyue Palace, Master Wu Lingshuang mainly relied on spiritual crops to refine alchemy, which was slightly different from the alchemy method in Shuyuan Valley. Perhaps it was the original method of Shuyuan Valley.
It belongs to the world's magic masters, and has stricter requirements for alchemy. If the precious bones and blood of spiritual beasts are added, the effect of the elixir may be much more powerful.
Lan Qiu Ming continued: "Secondly, the manpower of Lan Ju Pavilion is seriously insufficient. Now the first batch of newly recruited disciples has been selected and 800 disciples have been admitted. In the future, new disciples will continue to worship in Shuyuan Valley.
The demand for elixirs will be huge now, and the demand will be even greater later. The old man and these disciples are completely overwhelmed."
Jiang Yun listened carefully to Lan Qiuming's story, nodded very carefully, and said: "Master Lan, don't worry about this. I will send more manpower to the Lan Ju Pavilion immediately. In addition, I will buy some more alchemy furnaces and cauldrons.
We will strive to keep up with the production capacity of elixirs later on."
When Jiang Yun said this, he had already thought in his mind that every time he recruited a new batch of disciples, even if they passed the level test, there would still be some with weak qualifications. None of the five halls were willing to admit them into their respective halls, so they simply accepted them.
It is better to send them to Lanju Pavilion than to send them back to their hometown.
