Five days later, in front of Chiyang School's Ice Soul Cavern, groups of three to five disciples were waiting.
Every year, three days before the Ice Soul Cavern Trial, the sect would send people from the Discipline Hall to clear the area.
The other outer disciples would be asked to leave and clear the first floor of the Ice Soul Cavern.
Usually, no one would go to the second or third floor, and there was no record of a disciple requesting to go to the trial in the registration book.
There was only a blurry handwriting on the first page that seemed to be from a long time ago.
It was the handwriting of the only Yuanying expert in Chiyang School, Master Scarlet Sun. However, this handwriting should have been written when he was young.
The crowd was divided into several small groups, and the new trial cultivators were divided into three or four groups.
Most of the people gathered around Weapon Refiner Wan Rui. When Yi Tian wasn't around, these cultivators had Wan Rui as their representative.
There was a person called Qi Sicheng who replaced Wu Xing as the head of the group of people who were in charge of refining pills.
The original service disciples were divided into two groups. There was a fat guy with thick arms wearing the uniform of a service disciple standing alone at the side.
Around him was a group of nine service disciples.
From what Yi Tian heard from Gao Shou, the service disciples also had a quota for participating in the trial.
Apart from the ten spots for the trial with the newcomers, there were only fifty spots in the previous years.
Therefore, the older disciples didn't like the newcomers. After all, there were too many monks and too little meat. The older disciples were unhappy that the newcomers took the spots of the older disciples.
When the new disciples couldn't pass the trial and were relegated to the service disciples, they would suffer.
Yi Tian looked inside. Although Wan Rui and the others were chatting happily, the service disciples were itching with hatred.
Once they were eliminated, they would suffer. When they reached the territory of the service disciples, they would have to bow down first.
In any case, Yi Tian and Wu Xing had gotten a direct ticket. The two of them chatted there, not caring about what others thought.
Tang Lin was quite energetic now. After rescuing the Spirit Child and returning to the sect, the Discipline Hall found the three of them and questioned them separately.
When Tang Lin came out, she was overjoyed. It seemed that there were no more problems and she could continue to participate in the trial.
Speaking of Spirit Children, Gao Yuanfan, who had rescued Gao Shou the other day, was Gao Shou's uncle.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? His family had to beg Gao Yuanfan to clean up his mess.
Thankfully, they later found out that Gao Shou and Ning Yuxuan had joined forces to stop the Cui brothers. Although Ning Yuxuan was not a battle-type cultivator, holding them back was not an issue for him.
In his old age, he killed one of the Cui brothers and severely injured the other with his scarlet sword.
After returning to the sect, the Sect Master saw that Ling Tong was unharmed and that he had taken the initiative to eliminate the enemy. He felt that his merits and demerits offset each other, so he didn't mention this matter again.
In the end, the six Spirit Children were sent back to the sect unscathed.
The child Liao Fan was carrying was called Xu Haoxian. Sect Master Yang Yanzi accepted him as a disciple on the spot, and Liao Fan's mistake was brushed aside.
When Gao Yuanfan brought the eight people back to the sect, the other elders were also happy.
You can't let your Sect Head Senior Brother eat the meat alone while everyone else has to drink the soup.
Everyone has a share in this matter. The five Spirit Children tossed around for a while and the spoils were divided among a few people.
Yi Tian saw the five people enter for a quarter of an hour, and followed their respective masters back to the hall.
When the five people came out, they had already changed their clothes. They were all wearing the inner court robes, which made Yi Tian feel envious. They were all different people, but they had different lives.
He had sacrificed his life, but in the end, he was still an outer court disciple. The few of them, on the other hand, were already one level higher than him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry. However, their title was' Lead Inner Court Disciple '. When they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they could remove the' Lead Inner Court Disciple '.
After Yi Tian heard this, he felt relieved. If in the future he saw them calling him Senior Brother or Senior Sister, then he would have wasted his time in the cultivation world.
The little girl called Wan Zi followed behind a female cultivator and made faces at Yi Tian.
The female cultivator introduced herself as Ye Qingchen. This time, she had taken a fancy to Wan Zi's water, wood, and fire Spirit Root, so she could inherit her mantle.
Right now, she had changed Wan Zi's name to Ye Ziyan, but she also had a younger brother called Dou Zi, who was chosen by the sect elder Bai Qingsong and changed his name to Ye Junshan.
The two little brats were now full of vigor, completely different from the useless look they had when they were in Yi Tian's embrace.
However, Ye Ziyan was still very happy when she saw Yi Tian. After all, a child's preconceived notion was very strong, and she felt that Yi Tian was a person who gave her a sense of security.
After distributing the information, the sect master also rewarded them according to their merits. Gao Yuanfan received them in time, and his position was promoted from vice to the fourth commander of the Discipline Hall.
After understanding the identities of Yi Tian, Wu Xing and Tang Lin, he directly let Ning Yuxuan and Fu Haiming bring them to the Artifact Hall and the Dan Hall to register as outer court disciples.
As for Tang Lin, he had yet to pass the second trial, but Gao Yuanfan had said that he, Tang Lin, could take him in as a disciple once he passed the second trial.
Hearing this, Tang Lin was overjoyed. He originally wanted to cut grass and hit a rabbit to hug, but he didn't expect to find a golden straw.
Tang Lin thanked Gao Yuanfan on the spot and said that he would try his best to pass and not disappoint his master. Anyway, it was good to call him first.
Originally, the Sect Leader had intended for Yi Tian and Wu Xing to be exempted from the Ice Soul Cave's trial. In any case, they were already outer court disciples.
However, Yi Tian's goal was still to go in and take a look. There must be something waiting for him down there.
If he didn't go this time, he wouldn't know what excuse to use next time.
Therefore, he instigated Wu Xing to express his stance. Both of them were willing to go through the trial and treat it as cultivation.
Furthermore, during the disciple selection this time, he had also said in front of everyone that he would go to the Ice Soul Cave and not make any special arrangements.
When Yang Yanzi heard this, he also agreed. The Sect Leader had to keep his word in order to convince the masses. After discussing it with Bai Qingsong, both of them also agreed.
It turned out that Bai Qingsong was the elder in charge of this trial. After nodding slightly to Yi Tian and Wu Xing, he stood there without saying anything.
In fact, Yi Tian also knew that this time, he and Wu Xing were just putting on an act.
The key was that he wanted to go to the Ice Soul Cave and help Tang Lin along the way.
Looking at his appearance, it was still unknown whether he could pass the trial. Although he agreed quickly, he probably didn't have any confidence in his heart.
With this level of cultivation from taking pills, he would be exposed as soon as he went. Otherwise, why would he only be able to cut a two-inch sword mark?
The bell in front of the door rang, giving off a crisp sound. The surrounding people all came over with a solemn expression and lined up.
The teams that went in were divided into three entrances. The first group had the most people, about eighty people. They were the cultivators that came from the three sects.
Over the past five days, everyone had been found by the disciples sent by the Discipline Hall and brought back one after another.
After a few days of rest, they recovered to their peak condition and waited in the square in front of the entrance of the Ice Soul Cave.
Yi Tian saw that Tang Lin was also in the group, so he signaled to him. Tang Lin also nodded back, knowing the arrangements.
The second group was made up of ten odd job disciples. Under the leadership of the Senior Brothers at the entrance, they took off their storage bags one by one and put them into a box on the side. After that, they used their odd job disciple's small jade plate and entered without saying anything.
Yi Tian, who was standing on the side, saw that during the trial, one couldn't bring any other artefacts or spirit stones. Even their storage bags had to be placed outside.
Inside, one had to resist the cold to test the cultivator's true ability.
The new disciples were also required to follow suit. They were only allowed to wear clothes.
The Senior Brothers at the entrance only needed to sweep their bodies with their spiritual sense to know whether they had followed the rules or not.
With the people from the Discipline Hall standing next to them, no one would think that they could escape the Discipline Hall's search.
Moreover, there was an elder sitting not far away. He seemed to be asleep, but in fact, his spiritual sense had already swept these cultivators several times. It was not advisable to play tricks.
Yi Tian and Wu Xing's group only had two people. After Wu Xing returned from the Pill Hall, he changed into the same outer sect uniform as Yi Tian, but it was new. He really did look like a jade-faced Daoist.
However, he didn't dare to underestimate Yi Tian. One had to know that when this guy escaped, he brought three people along with him and didn't even drink a single sip of wine.
Although they were both at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, Wu Xing calculated that three of him might not be able to beat one Yi Tian.
Moreover, he also knew one of Yi Tian's secrets. He cultivated both wood and fire, which was not something he could compare to.
The two of them stood at the entrance and were about to take off their storage bags when the disciple beside them hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
He even smiled and hinted that outer sect disciples could bring storage bags when they went in to cultivate.
It took some time to enter the first level of the Ice Soul Cave from the entrance. The Ice Soul Cave was actually a large ice cave.
As Yi Tian and Wu Xing walked in, the cultivators beside them all made way for them. There was no other reason. Even the service disciples in front of them did so, let alone these newcomers.
Tang Lin was waiting not far from the entrance. When he saw the two of them walking over, he greeted them first. When he saw Yi Tian nod, he immediately followed behind.
Ever since he escaped from the Seven Evil Witch, Tang Lin knew that he had to rely on someone powerful.
Moreover, this person was very powerful. He followed Wu Xing and called him "Boss Yi".
Yi Tian also tacitly agreed. It just so happened that the sect had rules all day long. Just listening to them was annoying.
With two brothers calling him "Boss", it felt like he had returned to the days when he could call the wind and summon the rain in the sect.
There was a large open space on the first level of the Ice Soul Cave. Every time someone came for the trial, they would find a suitable place to sit in this open space.
In fact, it was better to stand than to sit down. This was because as soon as they entered the cave, they would feel a bone-piercing cold rush over. A layer of water droplets would immediately appear on their bodies.
Yi Tian saw that the service disciples first took off their clothes until only one layer was left and spread them on the ground.
Then, they sat down on the ground and began to meditate without caring about their surroundings.
For these old foxes, they must have gone through a few trials and knew what to do to last longer.
When the new cultivators saw this, they followed suit and used their clothes as cushions. After sitting down, they did not speak much and began to silently circulate their energy to expel the cold.
This was just the beginning. It was said that the power of the Ice Soul Cave would only be revealed after sunset.
At that time, the Yang energy would not continue and Yin energy would be born. The temperature in the Ice Soul Cave would become colder and colder until midnight. It was the most difficult time of the day in the Ice Soul Cave.
At that time, the temperature would be twice as cold as during the day. Moreover, this was only the first level.
Yi Tian also knew that he could not rush. If he left for the second level now, it would attract too much attention.
When it was later around midnight, when everyone's attention would be focused on resisting the cold, it would be time for him to make his move.
