Dusk had passed, and night had fallen.
Qin Di boarded the small boat, and it slowly drifted into the depths of the twilight.
At this time, there was only a crescent moon in the sky.
Lin Qiang distinguished the stars and the moon, and rowed northward.
The boat gradually sped up, and the further it went, the bigger the waves became. The small boat seemed to have become a bamboo leaf, drifting on the Tongtian River. Sometimes, a big wave would hit, and the boat would fly into the sky; after the wave passed, the boat would hit the ground again! Qin Di's heart was in his throat, afraid that a wave would smash the boat.
Fortunately, after only two hours, he saw several lanterns hanging in the sky ahead, as bright as day. Under the lanterns, there was a huge boat. The huge boat was at least 300 feet long and 300 feet wide. At the front was a huge dragon head, and in the middle was a tall white sail. The side of the boat was high up in the sky, and from the small boat, it looked like he was looking at the sky. Not far behind the boat was a huge pile of yew trees, towering into the clouds. They were piled together in a ring, forming the shape of a small island.
Lin Qiang rowed the small boat to the big boat, and came to the side of the lanterns. He heard someone shouting from the other side, "The celestial boat has arrived! Mortals, stay away! Those with a token, board the boat, those without, get out of the way! "
Qin Di took out a token and waved it, "I have a token! I have a token! "
Someone on the huge boat shouted, "Those with a token, come up, one token can only board one person!"
Qin Di patted Lin Qiang's shoulder, "Thank you! Master Lin, take care! "Then, he jumped and jumped onto the huge boat.
A black-clothed man on the huge boat took the token, examined it, and returned it to him, shouting, "Get in quickly! There are empty seats in the cabin, wait for another six hours, and the boat will set sail! "
Qin Di turned around and waved goodbye to Lin Qiang on the small boat.
At this time, as if afraid of being recognized, Lin Qiang pulled the bamboo hat on his head even lower, and his whole head was hidden in the shadows.
Then, the small boat slowly rowed towards the huge tree, and Lin Qiang threw a rope, which was tied to the branches of the big tree.
He had to wait here for half a month to know the final result.
Qin Di entered the cabin. Most of the cabins on the fifth floor were occupied. He didn't want to stay on the deck and attract attention, so he found an empty room at the bottom of the ship and went in to wait quietly.
As time passed, more and more people boarded the ship.
After an unknown period of time, someone shouted, "The time has come, the celestial ship shall set sail!"
The giant ark moved slowly, and the Tongtian River, which had been turbulent before, was now calm. It was unknown whether it was because the ark was too big, or because of the formation that was engraved on the surface of the fairy boat to suppress the waves.
Qin Di thought that it was no wonder they needed to change boats. The Tongtian River was extraordinary. Just this giant wolf alone was enough to block the boats of mortals. Only immortal boats could cross it. They were only twenty to thirty li from the shore. If they reached the depths of the river, the boat would definitely not be able to withstand it!
Thinking about the Tongtian River, it was said that the narrowest part spanned eighteen thousand li, and the widest part was ten thousand li. Thinking about the State of Wei on the other side of the river, it was no wonder that the two countries didn't interact with each other. With such a natural moat between them, how could only immortals cross it?
The huge sail was raised, and the speed of the ship was neither fast nor slow. After traveling for about six hours, the sky began to brighten. A red sun rose from the east, dyeing the huge sail red.
Qin Di walked out from the bottom of the ship and came to the deck above. He saw two cultivators in blue robes and one in green robes sitting at the bow of the ship. They faced the morning sun with their mouths wide open, breathing in and out the morning mist. Rays of golden light mixed with white mist flowed into their mouths like a trickle. Their stomachs heaved up and down as if they could swallow the sky. Their faces were glowing with golden light, as if they were enjoying a great deal.
Qin Di looked at them enviously and thought, 'Is this the legendary swallowing the essence of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon? The days of immortals are really something to look forward to! '
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the red sun suddenly left the water and jumped into the sky. The dazzling golden light that shrouded the ship also disappeared.
The three cultivators were still sitting at the bow of the ship, not moving an inch, as if they were still digesting the essence.
The huge ship continued to move forward, and after another two hours, an island appeared in front of them.
After a while, they could vaguely see the shape of the island. It was a semi-circular green island. The island wasn't too small, it had a diameter of about fifty to sixty li, and there was a depression in the middle that looked like a dog eating a flat cake, or a crescent moon.
Looking from afar, there were many houses on the island, and there was a tall palace. There were fields on the side, and further away, there were layers of banana trees on the beach. There was a huge rock at the location of the shore, and the words' Zhu Jia Wan 'were carved on it.
The huge ship gradually approached the shore, and Qin Di saw people wearing cultivator clothes, but most of them were dressed like mortals. He didn't know why there were so many mortals here.
The huge ship stopped, and young people kept coming down from the ship. There were at least four to five thousand people on the ship.
Under the lead of the green-robed cultivator, everyone came to the front of the only palace on the island. There was a huge square in front of the palace, and at this moment, it was already filled with countless people. Qin Di roughly estimated that there were at least thirty to forty thousand people. There were men and women, and they were wearing colorful clothes. Under the scolding of a number of black-robed cultivators, those people lined up into square formations.
The newly arrived people lined up into three square formations at the side.
When it was almost noon, there was another huge ship coming from the southeast to transport the last batch of young people.
When all the square formations were lined up neatly, suddenly, an old man wearing a red robe led a dozen or so green-robed cultivators out of the main hall.
The old man's age couldn't be determined, and his hair was a little white. However, his face was ruddy, and there wasn't a trace of wrinkle on his face. His eyes were shining brightly, and he was especially spirited.
When he came out of the main hall, his body floated up, and he stood in midair with his long sleeves fluttering. He said loudly, "Golden Pill Sect welcomes everyone! This old man is Zheng Xingping, and as an outer sect elder, I'm in charge of recruiting disciples! Every ten years, our Golden Pill Sect will open the mountain to recruit disciples! Anyone under the age of 25 with a ninth-grade spiritual root or above will have the opportunity to enter the sect and become a part-time disciple. Those with a sixth-grade spiritual root or above can also become an outer sect disciple! If they are tested to have an extremely rare Heaven Grade spiritual root, they will be directly accepted as an inner sect disciple! "
Qin Di thought, I don't know how many grades spiritual roots are divided into, and whether I have a spiritual root or not. If I don't have a spiritual root, I'm finished! Even if my aptitude is poor, it doesn't matter, as long as I can enter the sect!
At this time, he heard the red-robed old man, Zheng Xingping, say loudly, "This test will be divided into three stages. The first stage will test Qi and blood and perseverance, the second stage will test Heaven's will and wisdom, and the third stage will test Spiritual Root! We will pass the first stage today! "
