"Gongsun Shou..."

Watching Lin Sheng leave the courtyard, Liu Xin's eyes flashed and he murmured softly.

"If you had listened to me, why would you have ended up like this..."

At this time, the young disciple standing behind Liu Xin heard his master's whisper and couldn't help but speak.

"Master, that Gongsun Shou is the father Martial Uncle Sun that you often mentioned before?"

"Yes, it is indeed him."

Liu Xin nodded slightly.

"Then that person just now is the disciple of Mr. Martial Uncle Sun? Since you have a good relationship with Mr. Martial Uncle Sun, given your status, why not directly recommend that junior brother to enter the inner sect directly."

The young disciple spoke softly.

"A chance to enter the outer gate is enough. As for the inner gate, he doesn't have that weight."

Having said this, Liu Xin's tone became a bit colder.

"No matter how good the relationship is, what's the use if you're not in the sect? What's more, he's already dead, so why waste the recommended quota of inner sect disciples on a baseless Rogue Person."

"I told you Chunsheng, the sect is far more cruel than the outside world. You must hold on to any bargaining chip in your hands, so that you can climb higher and faster within the sect..."

"Disciple understands, disciple understands..."

Hearing the unpleasantness in Liu Xin's words, the young disciple quickly responded.

"Okay, let's go, you tell us to go down and leave one person to lead the kid up the mountain tomorrow..."

After throwing out another sentence, he seemed to have no interest in saying anything more. Liu Xin stood up and left with his hands behind his back.

On the second day, the sky was bright and Lin Sheng was already waiting in front of the Yuanyang Pavilion early.

It wasn't until more than an hour passed that a Green Robe disciple walked out and waved to Lin Sheng.

Green Robe is an inner disciple who is one level above Huangpao.

"You are Lin Sheng, right?"

When Lin Sheng approached, the inner disciple looked him up and down and asked.

"Yes, that's right." Lin Sheng said with a smile.

"Steward Liu told me, follow me into the mountains."

"Okay."

Seeing that he had found the right person, the inner disciple did not delay too much, turned around and left with Lin Sheng.

There was a road behind the Yuanyang Pavilion that led directly to Yuanyang Mountain. Under the leadership of the other party, Lin Sheng had an unimpeded journey and soon reached the nearest mountain peak.

There was thick smoke on the top of the mountain, but as they approached, the thick smoke seemed to be noticed and drifted to both sides, and soon a long stone staircase was revealed.

Looking up, not far away from the time, there is a huge plaque with four big characters engraved on it.

Yuanyang Beast Sect.

Obviously, this is where its mountain gate is located.

The most conspicuous thing under the plaque is a huge stone carving. When he looked up, Lin Sheng recognized the stone carving as the two-headed snake beast that was the symbol of the Yuanyang Beast Sect.

roar!

Before the two of them could enter the mountain gate, a giant wolf had already stepped out of the smoke, and its brown pupils fell on the two of them.

The whole body exuded strong pressure, and it was a Spirit Beast.

When facing this Spirit Beast giant wolf, Lin Sheng was alarmed. It was obvious that this Spirit Beast was extremely powerful, much stronger than the giant bear lying in front of the Yuanyang Pavilion.

The inner disciple who led the way had no strange expression on his face. He seemed to have been accustomed to just taking out a token from his arms and holding it high in his hand.

The Spirit Beast giant wolf retreated into the smoke again, no longer paying attention to the two of them. Lin Sheng's eyes swept through the surrounding smoke. He could clearly feel that there were lines of sight in the smoke falling on him. They were obviously some tyrannical Strange Beast.

"Remember not to run around at will in the sect, otherwise you will run into some tyrannical Strange Beast, and your skin will peel off even if you don't die."

Green Robe said something to Lin Sheng without looking back at the inner door.

"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me." Lin Sheng nodded in thanks.

The two of them passed through the mountain gate one after another, and soon saw a disciple of the Famous Beast Sect walking through it.

Most of them are outer disciples wearing yellow robes, followed by the inner disciples of Green Robe. As for the other higher-status disciples and deacons, you can't see them at all.

Seeing Green Robe disciple enter the mountain, the outer disciples bowed their hands to him and saluted him in a very respectful manner.

Green Robe The inner door just nodded lightly and didn't pay much attention.

Obviously, although there is only one word difference between the two, the gap in status is quite large.

Some yellow-robed disciples looked at Lin Sheng with curious eyes, as if they had thought of something, and there was a hint of jealousy.

Disciple Green Robe did not stop. He led Lin Sheng all the way to a spacious hall on the mountainside before stopping.

"Just wait here."

After saying this, disciple Green Robe stepped into the hall.

Lin Sheng stood there and waited quietly.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the inner door came out to let Lin Sheng in.

The main hall is quite empty, but the decoration is quite exquisite.

Lin Sheng followed the inner door into it, and could see an old man with a long beard in a white robe, and two Green Robe inner doors.

"Deacon Sun, we've brought them."

"Okay, please stay."

The old man in white robe and long beard was busy with something at this time. He spoke calmly without looking back. The inner disciple immediately bowed and bowed before retreating.

Lin Sheng After waiting for another incense stick, the old man turned his head.

"Liu Xin recommended you, so come over here and let me touch your bones."

The long-bearded old man said, and Lin Sheng immediately walked over.

First, he looked Lin Sheng up and down. The old man's face remained unchanged, and then he stretched out his thin palm and landed on Lin Sheng's shoulder.

Soon Lin Sheng felt an external force pouring into his body.

Knowing that the other party was probing his Bloodline bones, he didn't resist at all and waited for the other party to complete the probing.

Time went much faster than he imagined, but within a few breaths the old man retracted his palm.

"In the late Muscle Forging realm, although there is a trace of Bloodline power, it is too weak. At the same time, he has studied many martial arts, and his progress in practice is not shallow."

The old man said something calmly, glanced at Lin Sheng, and spoke again.

"You don't meet the qualifications of an inner disciple. If you want to stay, you should start as an outer disciple. Then go on."

After saying that, the old man waved his hand towards Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng frowned when he heard this. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but the old man had turned his back and didn't even look at him. He could only retract his words, turn around and walk away.

Before he could walk out of the hall, he heard the old man's laughter.

"Another idiot who is greedy for merit and hasty. He really thinks that he can be stronger than others by practicing multiple martial arts. His body is full of energy and blood, which makes it difficult to use..."

Lin Sheng frowned and walked out of the hall.

Originally, he wanted to become an inner disciple, and also specially entered the two apes Black Tiger Ape and white ape Strange Beast.

Coupled with the fact that he had reached the mastery of muscle forging at a young age and had a high level of understanding, he originally thought that becoming an inner sect was a sure thing, but he didn't expect to be beaten back like this.

The inner disciple who brought him in was still waiting outside the main hall. When he saw Lin Sheng's appearance, he already understood the result in his heart.

"It seems that you do not meet the conditions for an inner disciple, so let's start as an outer disciple."

The name Green Robe said calmly.

"Senior Brother Fang doesn't know how long it will take for the outer sect to become the inner sect?"

Lin Sheng asked.

"It can take as little as three years, or as long as... hum... If you fail the inner sect examination, then you can become an inner sect disciple by entering Blood Circulation realm before the age of 30."

Green Robe inner door named Fang Yun said lightly.

"Then you want to become a true disciple from the inner sect? I wonder what conditions need to be met?"

Lin Sheng continued to ask.

It is not too far away for him to step into Blood Circulation realm. With the speed of his practice after entering the body, it will not take long to step into Blood Circulation realm.

But his goal is not just to become an inner sect, but to become a true disciple.

"True inheritance? You are the only one who still wants to become a true inheritance... Haha, it's really ridiculous..."

Hearing Lin Sheng's words, Fang Yun sneered unabashedly.

"Did you know that I, Yuanyang Beast Sect, have thousands of disciples, including five hundred inner disciples, and only eleven true disciples, who you can covet?"

"You didn't even pass the inner disciple's blood test. Obviously the Bloodline in you is not that good. There is only one requirement for becoming a true disciple, and that is Bloodline. If Bloodline does not meet the standard, there is no possibility of becoming a true disciple. You have not passed the blood test. Being able to step into the ranks of the inner disciples in this life is already considered a blessing from several generations of cultivation."

When he said this, Fang Yun seemed to have thought of something and added another sentence.

"Of course, there is another way to go besides that, that is to step into Bone Transformation realm. If you can step into Bone Transformation realm, you can be promoted to the true successor."

"Bone Tempering?"

Hearing this word, Lin Sheng already understood that true disciples were far more troublesome than he thought.

But according to what the other party said, it seemed that he had no chance of becoming a true successor.

"Bloodline..."

He muttered to himself, and now he truly realized the importance of Bloodline.

"Okay, don't delay any longer. I'll take you to the Foreign Affairs Hall now. If you want to stay, hurry up."

"That's it, forget it..."

Lin Sheng Thoughts flashed in his mind, and he finally spoke slowly.

"Forget it? You mean going down the mountain?"

Fang Yun was stunned, as if he didn't expect the other party to react like this.

"You have to think clearly, even if I am an outer disciple, I, Yuanyang Beast Sect, am not comparable to an ordinary force. A Rogue Person warrior like you, who has no background, will never get a second chance if he misses this opportunity."

"Thank you Brother Fang for your kindness, but I have made up my mind."

Lin Sheng spoke in a deep voice.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll take you down and wish you good luck."

Hearing this, Fang Yun took a deep look at Lin Sheng, sneered, turned around and left.

When we came out of the Yuanyang Pavilion, it was already dark.

Lin Sheng looked back and saw that the mountain shrouded in smoke walked away without stopping for a moment.

The Yuanyang Beast Sect is indeed very suitable for him, but it is a pity that he cannot get started.

Outer sect disciples not only have to take on a lot of chores in the sect, they are even called upon at any time to assist inner sect disciples, sect deacons, etc.

And he didn't want to waste too much time on these.

At the same time, he also understood that he basically had no Bloodline. After the blood test, his upper limit in the Yuanyang Beast Sect was basically locked, so instead of wasting time here, it was better to look for other forces.

He had no intention of delaying and went straight to Tianxiang City after leaving Yuanyang City.

But after spending several days and thousands of taels of treasure money, the result was still unsatisfactory, not much different from the Yuanyang Beast Sect.

In other words, it is not as good as Yuanyang Beast Sect. After all, he has someone to recommend him there, which is much more convenient.

In Tianxiang City, he spent more than a thousand taels of silver to get an assessment opportunity.

It's just a pity that after entering Silver-patterned Black Crocodile, his Bloodline is still not good enough, and he has also obtained the qualification of an outer disciple.

In fact, apart from Bloodline being weak, another point is that he has practiced too much martial arts.

Raging Bull Fist, White Ape Leg Kung Fu, Ape Fetus Technique, Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm.

Among the four martial arts schools, two are third-rate martial arts masters, and two second-rate martial arts schools are also accomplished.

Under the test of those entry-level examiners, his Vital Blood was mixed and his potential in the future was limited. Therefore, even if his comprehension evaluation was high, his overall evaluation was not high.

And there was one more thing that he didn't want to accept.

That is, no matter whether you are entering the Yuanyang Beast Sect or Tianxiang Sword Sect, there is one requirement, which is to practice the sect's martial arts and abandon your own martial arts.

This made him give up the idea of choosing between these two factions.

Although the highest level of his training is only second-rate martial arts, and with the progress of his training, even if he loses all his martial arts, it will not be difficult to return to training in the future.

But with a big guy like Phantom Demon Beast staring at him, if he loses his martial arts, his combat power will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. Unless he stays in Yuanyang City until he succeeds in his practice, once he goes out and encounters Phantom Demon Beast, he will have absolutely no chance to resist.

Therefore, we can only give up these two major forces for the time being.

Back in Linjiang Prefecture, Lin Sheng was lost in thought.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if the sect forces don't join for the time being. Ape Fetus Technique and Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm are enough for me to practice for a long time. After practicing these two martial arts to great success, it won't be a problem for me to step into Blood Circulation realm, and my strength will naturally be far higher than it is now."

"As for the future, the most important thing is to accumulate merit and exchange it through the Dark Star channel. It just takes more time. I can't afford to delay..."

Thoughts flashed in his mind, and his thoughts on joining the sect's forces slowed down a lot.

The next day.

Dusk.

Linjiang Prefecture chengdongcheng District.

On a long street far away from the main road, in front of a small two-story building, Lin Sheng stopped and looked up at the sign hanging in front of the small building.

The signboard has faded a lot due to age, and the writing on it is a bit blurry.

However, you can still see the two words written on it.

'drizzle'

"This is it."

Lin Sheng glanced at the slightly dilapidated building and stepped inside.

The small building is not large in area. The business here is not a restaurant or a hotel, but a teahouse.

As soon as you enter it, bursts of tea fragrance will flow into your nose.

"We have a customer here. What kind of tea does he want? Although our shop is small, we have a lot of tea."

Behind the bar, a middle-aged woman smiled and spoke.

Lin Sheng glanced at the other party, ordinary people have no cultivation level.

"Just have a pot of whatever you want."

He found a seat by the window and sat down.

Soon, a middle-aged woman came over carrying a steaming teapot.

"Just to inform you, I'm looking for Qi Ning."

Picking up the teapot, pouring a cup, Lin Sheng spoke softly.

After hearing Lin Sheng's words, the smile on the old woman's face did not change, she said something and turned around to leave.

"I know, the guests will just wait."
