  Here stands the mountain gate, with a hundred-zhang-tall white jade gate tower, on which is written in large letters "Tian Xuan Sect", majestic and awe-inspiring.

  Two mountain-guarding disciples stood at the gate, who were also outer sect disciples of the second layer of Qi training.

  It is said that similar mountain gate buildings, within the entire range of Tianxuan Sect's radiation, there are about five hundred, which means that every day thousands of outer sect disciples need to guard the mountain gates.

  Su Che didn't wear the Taoist robe of a Men's Gate disciple, nor was he a powerful figure. The two mountain-guarding disciples naturally had to ask about his intentions. If there wasn't a suitable reason, just saying something like "I've come to pay respects and become a disciple" would absolutely not be enough to let him in.

  Su Che took out the jade token left by Yu Qing Dao Ren and revealed his intention: "Yu Qing Shifu is willing to be my introducer, would you two Shifus please help me notify him?"

  One of them took the jade plaque and infused it with true energy using a special technique, and the jade plaque transformed into a white light that shot up to the sky and immediately disappeared into the protective mountain array.

  That person was certain that the jade token was not a fake, and then said to Su Che: "Wait here, Yu Qing Shixiong is inside the mountain gate, and the jade token will automatically find its master. However, Xuanji Peak is too far from here, you need to be patient and wait."

  "Understood, thank you, Master." Su Che slightly bowed his head.

  Shou Shan's disciples had a duty to fulfill and couldn't idle chat with others. Thus, the three of them stood silently under the gate tower, all speechless.

  It's said that Su Che has already reached the first level of Qi training, and his contribution value to the sect is sufficient. Even if he didn't need Yu Qing Dao Ren's recommendation, he could still join Tian Xuan Sect with his own ability. Why did he come to find Yu Qing Dao Ren and owe him a favor?

  Su Che thought that since Yu Qing Dao Ren had already spoken up and was willing to be his guarantor, even if he had grown up a bit, he should still find him ahead of time to express his gratitude and respect.

  Otherwise, people may think that you are arrogant and disdainful of others' kindness; what's more, if Yu Qing is a bit more careful, he might even offend him because of this and become enemies with such an inner disciple for no reason.

  These principles of being a good person were also taught to me by my master when I was working as a constable in the yamen, he instructed me patiently and earnestly, but now...

  After waiting for more than two hours, they finally heard the mountain guard disciple from earlier say in a low voice: "He's here."

  Along his line of sight, Su Che raised his head to look over and only saw a shallow blue light flying out from among the mountains, rushing towards this side getting closer and closer.

  At incredible speed, in the blink of an eye, he descended from the sky and stood before the gate of Jade Stone Mountain.

  This person's eyes are like stars, and his appearance is elegant as jade trees in the wind. He is indeed Yu Qing, whom Su Che once met in a mountain valley.

  "Brother Yuqing."

  Su Che and the two mountain-guarding disciples paid their respects to him together.

  Yu Qing Dao Ren's face was full of kindness, and he nodded to the two disciples. His gaze shifted to Su Che's face, and he smiled: "Not bad, you've already reached the first level of Qi cultivation. You must have eaten a lot of bear meat?"

  "Yes." Su Che similarly smiled and said: "Also thanks to Master Uncle's generosity, leaving me so much of the demon bear's flesh and blood."

  "No need to thank me, those bear meats were just things I was going to discard anyway. At first, I didn't even think of keeping them for you." Yu Qing waved her hand and said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Fengxian Hall, and formally accept you as a disciple!"

  Su Che naturally wouldn't refuse, but still reminded him: "Master Uncle, my sect's contribution value is already enough, just need you to recommend me and it will be fine, no need to waste a recommendation quota."

  Su Che had heard that even inner disciples couldn't recommend others to join the sect without restrictions, and the number of recommendations was definitely limited. The specific situation wasn't very clear.

  "Oh?"

  Yu Qing was slightly surprised, but after a moment's thought, she understood Su Che's good intentions and nodded in praise: "It's rare for someone as young as you to be so sensible..."

  In Yu Qing's eyes, Su Che was just a fourteen-year-old child, but unexpectedly, he was mature beyond his years and handled things with ease, which added to her good impression of him.

  The mountain gate is located here, and it's not far from the Xuanji City. Yu Qing didn't fly with her sword, but instead walked together with Su Che using light body technique, and soon they entered the Xuanji City.

  Xian Tian Palace, meaning inheritance of Xian Tao, is both the place for assessment and recruitment of outer door disciples, as well as the most magnificent building in Xuán Jī City.

  The square in front of the palace is extremely spacious and can accommodate tens of thousands of people with no problem. This square does not allow stalls to be set up for sale, nor is it a place for transactions, but even so, on ordinary days, many self-taught disciples still gather on the square.

  These self-cultivating disciples gathered in groups of three or five, either chatting idly or exchanging experiences on their tasks. However, no matter what they were doing, they would occasionally look up to glance at the gate of Chengxian Hall. If they saw someone entering or exiting, they would cast envious glances in that direction.

  Undoubtedly, those who can walk into the grand hall are all qualified to enter and participate in the assessment; as long as they can still stand up and walk out, it means that the dream of the sect's disciples has come true.

  "When can I also make a name for myself and walk through that big door?"

  At this moment, there were countless eyes on the square staring at Su Che's back, with many admiring and not a few jealous...

  Su Che followed Yu Qing into the Chengxian Hall, and only then did he see that the hall's area was much larger than he had imagined. The empty space was vast and deep, with towering statues over ten feet tall scattered all around, while the murals and reliefs on the walls seemed to be a series of real-life scrolls, quietly recounting the history and achievements of the Tianxuan Sect.

  Inside the grand hall, everywhere exuded an ancient, solemn and majestic atmosphere. Su Che naturally felt his own insignificance, at the same time, a desire suddenly rose from deep within his heart, a yearning for power, a yearning for glory...

  "Perhaps one day, my deeds will also be engraved on a certain wall, becoming an infinite myth for later generations to admire..."

  Moved by Su Che's excitement at this moment, Yu Qing, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but think of himself back then. He suddenly understood in his heart: "This child has a firm determination. The first time he entered the grand hall, not only was he not suppressed by the atmosphere inside the hall, but instead, it ignited some desires deep within his heart... No wonder Blood Mountain Range felt sympathetic towards him when they first met; it turns out that he is actually the same kind of person as me..."

  Generally speaking, the will of young people is not yet mature. When they first enter this grand hall, they are often strongly suppressed by the atmosphere inside the hall. Most people involuntarily reveal a timid and cautious demeanor; only an extremely small number of people can possess an exceptionally firm will at the age of ten or so, fearless of any suppression, and instead, bring out some hidden things deep within their bones.

  In those days, Yu Qing's reaction was similar to Su Che's today. This is a kind of resonance on the spiritual level between people.

  Precisely because of this, Yu Qing didn't want to make any special introductions for him anymore. Isn't it just the entrance exam? Mediocre people can pass, he should be able to as well.

  "Su Shi-di."

  Yu Qing's gaze had a clear encouraging component, at this moment, even the way he addressed him changed, clearly saying: Kid, go ahead, I have faith in you.

  No need for any straightforward words, Su Che suddenly understood his meaning and smiled lightly: "Alright, please wait for a moment, Master Yu Qing."

  The way he was addressed also changed naturally.
