Lin Feng had also started cultivating when he was six years old. For someone like Li Xing, who started cultivating when he was almost twelve years old, it was indeed too late. Of course, this did not mean that he could not cultivate.
It was just that if he started cultivating at this age, his meridians would have gradually formed and his talent would not have been unearthed. Everything would have to start from scratch. If he wanted to break through his own shackles, he would have to put in ten or even a hundred times more effort than others.
It was unknown why Li Xing's mother sent him to cultivate at this age, but Li Xing was a strong-willed person.
Now, his mind was filled with the matter of reaching the peak.
He climbed up the stone steps one by one.
As he continued to climb higher and higher stone steps.
Li Xing realized that something was wrong.
He realized that there seemed to be something pressing down on him.
And the weight was getting heavier and heavier.
To Li Xing, who had never cultivated before, all of this was filled with mysteries and unknowns. He naturally did not know what was pressing down on him, nor did he know why it was so heavy.
The only thing Li Xing knew was that he had to work hard. No matter how hard it was, he had to climb the stone steps. Only by climbing the stone steps would he have hope of joining the sect. If he could not even climb the stone steps, how could he join the sect?
Li Xing wanted to stand out.
As long as he stood out, he would be able to become a big shot. He would be able to build a huge mansion of his own and bring his mother over to live a good life.
Over the years, Li Xing had seen how difficult it was for his mother to raise him alone.
Stand out and let his mother live a good life.
This was the obsession in Li Xing's heart. It was also this obsession that supported him to persevere.
"Plop! Plop! "
Along the way, he encountered many test takers who could not persevere.
The 108,000 stone steps were not just simple stone steps.
There was also the power of the law of gravity on top of the 108,000 stone steps.
The truly talented disciples did not need to participate in the test here. They would have long been snatched up by the various large forces.
All the disciples who came here to take the test were from small clans, small forces, and ordinary disciples. Of course, there might be some among these people who were like pearls covered in dust and hadn't been discovered in time. However, such people were very few after all.
Those youths who had cultivated for a few years had charged too fiercely in the beginning, and did not conserve their strength. As they climbed higher and higher, their bodies could clearly feel how strong the pressure on their bodies was.
Many people couldn't withstand that power. As their bodies became more and more tired, their willpower would also become weaker and weaker.
At this time, it was easy to give up.
Many youths who had cultivated before couldn't hold on any longer and failed the test.
"I have to work hard, I have to persevere!"
Sweat kept coming out from his forehead, and even his whole body was soaked with sweat.
Li Xing's vision blurred.
He felt as if his muscles were about to be torn apart. It was as if a knife was slicing off his flesh piece by piece.
This feeling was simply too painful.
Li Xing really wanted to be like the others, lying on the steps and sleeping soundly. As long as he could fall asleep.
There would be no more pain.
However, a voice in his heart told Li Xing that he must not fall asleep. Once he fell asleep, he would never wake up again.
Li Xing gritted his teeth and persevered. Every movement of his had lost its coherence, and it looked very stiff and uncoordinated.
However, he still persevered. No matter how painful it was, he clenched his teeth and persevered.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xing seemed to see the stone steps at the peak. There were about a hundred people standing on the steps. Most of them were youths, and there were also a few children. The remaining people were wearing strange clothes, and they were all looking at him.
"Who are they?"
Li Xing's mind was blank. He didn't know who these people were. He continued to work hard and persevered. He had to use both his hands and legs to climb up the last stone steps.
"Your willpower is not bad."
The Daoist looked at Li Xing.
…
When Li Xing woke up, he found himself lying on a large bed. An old man was sitting on a stool not far away.
Li Xing sat up and asked uneasily, "Old man, have I reached the peak?"
The old man looked deeply at Li Xing and said, "You have. Congratulations, little brother. You have succeeded in the first step. The talent test will begin tomorrow. Whether you can stay in the sect and become a disciple will depend on tomorrow. "
"I will definitely stay!"
Li Xing clenched his fists and said.
…
There weren't many people taking the test. There were only about a hundred of them.
The test method was to place one's hand on a crystal ball. Depending on one's talent, different colors would appear on the crystal ball.
The lowest talent was white.
After white, there were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and other colors.
Most sects would accept people with orange talents and above.
More and more people went up to take the test. More than twenty people took the test, and most of them had red talents. All of them were eliminated.
Those who were eliminated all had pale faces. Only after more than twenty people had failed the test did the first person pass.
The person taking the test was a young girl with yellow talents.
In the end, only six people succeeded. Li Xing wasn't one of them.
Li Xing's talent was the lowest grade, white. Among the hundred or so people here, he was at the bottom.
"In the end, he has no fate with the immortal sect."
The old man sighed from afar.
"Those who failed can leave the mountain now," the Daoist said.
"I beg you, please accept me. I can chop materials, cook, wash clothes, I can do anything. Please accept me!" “
Li Xing wasn't willing to leave just like that. He knelt in front of the Daoist and begged.
"Hmph, this is an important place. Don't make a ruckus. If you make a ruckus again, I'll chase you out!" The Daoist said coldly. Those words cut off all hope for Li Xing, making him feel as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
At that moment, a fat cultivator flew over from afar.
"Senior Brother Wang!" Seeing the fat cultivator, the Daoist didn't dare to hesitate and quickly bowed.
"Mm …" The Daoist nodded and said, "The spiritual academy is lacking a few spirit children to help look after the herb garden. Are there any suitable candidates among these children who failed?"
"I, I, I'm willing to do anything!" Li Xing quickly said.
"Alright, I'll choose you! And you, you, you … " The fat cultivator chose Li Xing and a few others and took them away.
…
The image stopped there. Lin Feng's spiritual sense returned from the ancient world to the real world.
"The image disappeared. What happened next?" Lin Feng couldn't help but frown. The image had disappeared just like that. This made him extremely depressed. He wanted to know what happened next.
