Chapter IX Admission to Master

Early in the morning, Ge Chen woke up. Breathing in the fresh air outside, Ge Chen felt refreshed. When he walked out of the house, Ma San had already prepared the horse carriage.

Ge Chen was very satisfied with what Ma San had done. He felt that this young man who was older than him was very calm when it came to handling matters, and was also considerate when it came to thinking issues.

He waved at Ma San and gave him a few instructions before he got into the carriage.

The decorations of the carriage were simple and unadorned. It was only a few simple sculptures, but on the outside, it was covered with a few pieces of silk. There were two big horses in the carriage. A young man dressed in plain clothes sat in the carriage and politely smiled at Ge Chen. He then respectfully lifted the curtain and invited Ge Chen in.

Ge Chen sat on the carriage, leisurely humming a tune, occasionally gazing out through the curtain at the scenery outside.

The Xuanzhen Sect was not far from Helian City. It was located on Mount He, which was a place of cultivation with a lot of fame.

The horse carriage sped along, and the smooth road didn't bumpy. Ge Chen felt that it was much more comfortable than walking by himself. On the way, he saw the local customs and traditions of Helan City, which was not much different from the one back in his hometown, Jia Nan City. The only difference was that the people here were richer, but of course, they were also separated from the poor people here.

He Lan City was really big. The horse carriage took about two hours to get out of the city gate, and headed south.

Ge Chen stuck his head out the window and found that many of the youths on foot were about the same age as him. There were some older youngsters among them, but they were no older than twenty years old. After all, if one was an Immortal cultivator, one should take it from their child.

These youngsters were also going to participate in the Mysterious True Sect's assessment.

Ge Chen carefully looked at these people, it was not difficult to notice that these people were probably of two categories.

Those who walked into the Xuanming Sect were naturally the children of poor families. Their young faces were brimming with vitality, and their clear eyes were filled with traces of desire. Desire was nothing more than hope that one could cultivate and earn some money by relying on one's ability. However, there were very few people like Ge Chen.

The other youngsters were similar to Ge Chen. Those youngsters were riding in carriages, but they brought a lot of retainers with them as they swaggered towards the Black Truth Sect.

As for these rich kids, God knows what they were thinking. They wondered if they would be chased out of the Xuan Zhen Sect.

As Ge Chen sat in the carriage, his buttocks began to itch. He also wanted to walk with those youths.

Of course, Ge Chen also had his own plan. That was, to get familiar with these youths who were cultivating together. It was hard to say whether or not they would look out for each other in the future.

As for Ge Chen, his first choice was those youths that were walking on foot. He thought, "These kids are willing to endure hardships, their results in the future will definitely not be bad."

After greeting his coachman, Ge Chen jumped down from the carriage and stood firmly on the ground. The driver took a quick look and knew that his master was not simple. He had some skill, so he didn't say much and just drove the carriage back.

After getting off the carriage, Ge Chen met with a youth around his own age. He took the initiative to ask, "Hey, friend, are you also going to Helan Mountain to practice at the Xuanzhen Sect?"

The youth glanced at Ge Chen and realized that this youth's attire was similar to his own. Besides being a bit more handsome, there was nothing else. Especially since he could tell that this youth and he belonged to the group of poor people, he naturally liked to talk to him.

This young man was called Iron Egg and his name was Wang Meng. He was one of the people of Helan City. The family wasn't rich, but it was barely enough to keep them warm. He was the only son in the family. Although his parents were reluctant, Wang Meng knew that he was just a burden at home. If he went to cultivate and become an immortal, then the burden on his family would be lightened. His father and mother would also be able to eat more food.

Wang Meng agreed and then casually introduced himself. He looked at Ge Chen and asked, "Are you going to the Xuan Zhen Sect as well?"

Ge Chen replied.

Wang Meng and Ge Chen chatted and laughed along the way. At the same time, the two of them became more familiar with each other.

The two of them chatted for about an hour before they arrived at the foot of Helian Mountain.

In front of him was a mountain that reached into the clouds. Mount Helan was situated within the borders of the State of Floating Cloud. The mountain stretched for thousands of miles into the distance. There were all kinds of medicinal herbs and wild beasts within the mountain, making it a rich and prosperous land. Of course, this Helan Mountain was also extremely dangerous. There were powerful demonic beasts living in the mountains, and some of them could even be compared to a human at the grand completion stage. There were even those that had lived for more than ten thousand years who could transform into a human and transcend the tribulation to become an immortal.

Mount He was also a good place for many cultivation sects. For example, the spiritual medicines and demonic beasts within the mountain were all things that those cultivators needed. Many pills were naturally inseparable from the raw materials used to make them. These wild medicinal herbs and the spirits of the demonic beasts were the primer.

At Mount He, there were a total of three cultivation sects: the Mysterious True Sect, the Full Moon Sect, and the Star Seizer Sect. The most powerful of the three was the old monster Yun Tian of the Mysterious True Sect. His tyrannical strength was enough to prove everything. That old man is already at the late stage of Nascent Soul. With more time, he will definitely improve.

As for the other two families, they also had a lot of experts. The two families also had their own contestants. The combined strength of these three families was equal, standing in a stalemate with each other.

Ge Chen sized up He Lan Mountain and sighed in his heart. This He Lan Mountain was truly an immortal mountain. The floating clouds in the mountains were as ethereal as immortal qi, causing one's heart to surge with emotions when they saw it.

"Ge Chen, this is where we cultivate. How about it?" "It's not very impressive!" Wang Meng, who was at the side, laughed.

"Hur hur, that's right!" This is truly an immortal mountain! "

"Hm!" It seems that there are really a lot of people who are seeking Immortal Seeking here! "

"Yes, let's go up. I assume those elders are waiting for us on the mountain."

"Mm. Let's go."

Ge Chen and Wang Meng walked towards the Black Truth Sect, which was built in the mountains. The entrance of the sect was already opened wide, and all the disciples were already standing on the steps, solemnly welcoming the many youths who had come to cultivate.

Ge Chen looked at these fellows with a hint of surprise on his face, but it was quickly replaced by an envious expression.

This was because Wang Meng had already told him a few things about the Xuan Zhen Sect.

It turned out that the people standing in front of the guests were all people with mediocre aptitudes and had little ability. Thus, they were ordered by the elders to stand at the sides of the mountain gate. Those with true strength had already been treated as treasures by the elders. The Black Zhen Sect regarded these disciples as their lifeblood and looked at them with respect. The clan's development was entirely in the hands of these people.

Entering the sect, an elder standing on top of the stairs narrowed his eyes as he sized up the disciples below with a trace of expectation on his face.
