"Everyone, I am the second seat of the Twelve Morning Stars of the Spiritual Moon - Bai Xue."

Silence returned to the night sky. Among the eleven female cultivators on the watch platform, the female disciple at the center took a step forward and briefly revealed her identity.

Her hair is as white as snow, her figure is thin, and her appearance is cold. She gives people a feeling of ice and purity.

"It's Snow White Fairy!"

"The White Fairy is so beautiful!"

"In previous years, only a few people from the Twelve Morning Stars attended the Moon Moon Festival, and they could not see Fairy Bai's face at all. This year, we are here at the right time!"

Everyone was whispering and talking, and it was obvious that the White Fairy's popularity was quite high in the hearts of these monks.

"Fellow Taoist, who is this White Fairy——?"

Among the crowd, a foreign monk couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked the people next to him without fear.

"Hey, you don't know this? But you're asking the right person if you ask me. Not to mention Fairy Bai, there's nothing we don't know about any one of the 'Lingyue Twelve Morning Stars'!"

The monk swallowed his saliva proudly and said:

"Have you ever heard of Daxue Mountain? This Snow White Fairy is the saint of Daxue Mountain! The only precious daughter of ancestor Xuefu!"

"What! Ancestor Xuefu is famous in our Western Region..."

"Shh, keep your voice down! Don't let anyone hear you!" The monk looked around furtively to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then continued:

"It is said that Daxue Mountain has been invaded by monsters in recent years, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. Ancestor Xuefu is already tired of dealing with the constant harassment! She sent Fairy Baixue to Lingyue in advance for the safety of her daughter.

Come to practice.

Hey, Fairy Bai has outstanding abilities and talents, and possesses the extremely rare Ice Spirit Root in the world. Not long after she arrived, she quickly became one of the Twelve Morning Stars of the Spiritual Moon, and even defeated the originally ranked second

Xu Yunyao, who was at the banquet, was replaced by her!"

"This is happening! I have been living in the family all year round, and I have no idea about these strange rumors..."

"It's normal that you don't know. Who else but us can know such secrets?"

"Don't you know your friend's surname?"

"My surname is Li, my first name is Yuanbo..."

The two chatted incessantly, and Lu Lingqiu, who was not far behind them, accidentally heard these words and was filled with surprise.

Logically speaking, the Great Snow Mountain stretches for tens of thousands of miles in the extreme north of Tiancang Continent. It is a natural chasm formed by ten thousand years of black ice. No monster can easily cross it. Even those who can cross it must at least be top-level monsters.

Or there is a demon king level existence.

And if you want to pass there smoothly and reach the inland, you must face the Daxueshan Sect that has been guarding here for more than a thousand years. It is a super first-class sect that is not weaker than the Lingyue Sect. The leader of the sect, Xuefu Ancestor, is even more powerful in the world of today's immortal cultivators.

One of the few great powers in the late Nascent Soul stage!

"Could it be that there isn't much time left for me?"

Lu Lingqiu felt a little anxious, but the girl beside him was worried and seemed in a trance.

After a few breaths, Bai Xue looked around at the people in the audience and said coldly: "There are three rules for this year's Mochizuki Festival."

It was about their own future, and the originally noisy venue fell silent instantly. Everyone was waiting with their ears pricked up for the release of the rules.

"First, go up to the stage in order and touch the Moon Watching Altar to test your spiritual power."

"If your spiritual power is greater than 800, you can directly enter the inner sect. Those who are between 500 and 800 can enter the outer sect to practice for five years, and come back after five years to participate."

"As for those who are less than five hundred, or those who have not reached the standard after practicing in the outer sect for several years..."

Bai Xue's voice was cold: "I'm afraid I won't be able to meet Lingyue."

As soon as this statement came out, the quiet audience became excited again.

"This year's standards are too high!"

"Isn't it six hundred last time?"

"This...eight hundred spiritual powers...how is it possible to achieve this!"

"Alas, even if I can practice in the outer sect for five years, still..."

Among human monks, the spiritual power value of a monk in the Qi Refining Stage can only reach one thousand at most. One thousand spiritual powers is the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. Calculated according to this standard, eight hundred spiritual powers correspond to the eighth level.

Above the level...

For ordinary sects, all it takes to recruit disciples is that you have spiritual roots. You can train them from scratch. After all, for many small sects, just being able to recruit disciples is already good.

But Lingyue Sect...

Not only do we have to accept people with good qualifications, but we also reject newcomers.

Obviously, they don't want to spend a lot of time on new monks who don't know shit, because the growth cycle of novices is really too long.

"Second, those who pass the inner soul test need to go through an interview. If they pass, they can choose their favorite Morning Star for entry guidance."

Regardless of the dissatisfaction of everyone in the audience with the first rule, Bai Xue continued.

The so-called interview means choosing someone who may become your mentor in the future and answering some questions.

In Lingyue, every inner sect disciple follows one of the Twelve Morning Stars to practice, rather than the seniors or elders in most sects.

According to the rules over the years, once a disciple passes the soul test and is qualified to be promoted to the inner sect during the Mochizuki Festival, he can get the right to choose a senior sister as his future mentor after passing the interview.

There are usually two situations in interviews: the Morning Stars are satisfied with you, or they are dissatisfied.

If you are satisfied, you can join the team of your favorite senior sister for several years of training; if you are not satisfied, you will be assigned to other Morning Star Hands who are willing to take you in.

Of course, there have been disciples that no one is willing to take in. Such disciples can only go home even if they pass the spirit test...

The reason...

Often it’s because——

ugly.

Yes, Lingyue is a sect that has a very good appearance control. In previous years, it was okay to have elders present to preside over it. This year, all the power will be given to the Twelve Morning Stars...

As young people, they definitely don't want too many crooked people to appear in their sect, which will affect everyone's state of mind during daily practice.

There is not much controversy about this one. Everyone knows more or less the threshold for Lingyue’s facial appearance. Moreover, there are few immortal cultivators with hideous faces. In most cases, they can guarantee that “even if they don’t look good, they will at least look good.”

Not scary" level.

"Finally, the inner disciples who pass the spirit test and interview need to pay 3,800 spirit stones at Baiyu Peak within half a month as entry fees."

Bai Xue added lightly: "Disciples practicing in the outer sect must pay three hundred and eighty spiritual stones."

"???"

"What?!"

"Did I hear that right?!!"

This time, it exploded.

"Fairy Bai, this is unreasonable! There has never been an argument for accepting spiritual stones when joining a noble sect before!"

"Yes! Three thousand eight hundred spirit stones are too many!"

"It takes three hundred and eighty for an outer disciple to practice for five years. How can an ordinary family afford this..."

"You have gone too far. This is an open robbery! How are you different from robbers?!"

"This can be called a wealthy family?! I'm not afraid of ruining the sign!..."

The words in the audience became increasingly unpleasant. Lu Lingqiu looked at the scene in front of him thoughtfully.

Mu Qing on the side asked in a low voice: "Brother Lingqiu, do we have so many spiritual stones for them...?"

Thirty-eight hundred spirit stones, for a casual cultivator without family support, is absolutely an astronomical figure.

Although the girl is a demon master, she does not need to use spirit stones to trade in the demon clan. If she joins the sect, her share will naturally be counted on Lu Lingqiu, which means that he must prepare at least 7,600

Only spiritual stones will do...

This is no small number.

Lu Lingqiu pondered for a moment and smiled softly: "I will find a way."

He has always kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and has disdained to be a prostitute for free. He has never owed anyone anything material, and even when dealing with spiritual envoys, he always pays more than he receives.

"Oh, that's good." Seeing his confident look, Mu Qing gradually felt relieved and looked towards the stage.

The scene once became uncontrollable.

Some monks turned around and left angrily, some wanted to jump over the wall to argue, and some were hiding under the stage and cursing.

Bai Xue saw it all.

It is true that before this, Lingyue Sect accepted disciples for free, but this year, with the gradual depletion of Tianlun's spiritual energy, the Presbyterian Council unanimously approved the plan of "charging entry fees for new disciples" and set such a high price

price.

Precisely because he did not want to see the poor and dissatisfied faces of these guys, Great Elder Jingze gave full authority to this year's affairs to this cold and capable second seat of the Twelve Morning Stars...

Bai Xue sneered and asked, "Since everyone has such opinions, I would like to ask everyone present a few questions."
To be continued...
