It is said that the Cang Yue Sect is on the Tianquan Peak of the Golden Tooth Mountain Range. It was the first time for both of them to come here. They had maps in their hands and had been searching in the mountains for a long time.

"Master, why are these mountains all the same? How long will it take us to find Tianquan Peak if this continues!" A Gang said tiredly and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Did you leave any marks along the way?" Xie Ling stopped and looked at the rolling mountains all around.

"Master, don't worry, I kept everything as you asked." A-Gang handed the kettle over and said, "Master, please drink some water!"

Xie Ling took the kettle and took a few sips before saying, "Drink some too. It's hot out here. Don't get a heatstroke."

"Well -" A-Gang took the kettle and was about to drink when he suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Hey, young master, what do you think that is?"

Xie Ling looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a small black dot between the distant mountains approaching his location. The black dot got bigger and bigger. After a while, he could clearly see that it was the name of the name.

A young man in blue who controls a flying sword.

"Master, it's an immortal. There really are immortals!" A-Gang said loudly and excitedly.

Xie Ling nodded, feeling excited in his heart. Although the Xie family was a family of immortal cultivators, they had never seen such figures flying around in the air, so naturally they were inexplicably excited.

"Who are you? This is a restricted area. Don't stay here. Go back quickly!" The young man in blue on the flying sword glanced at them and said.

"Disciple Xie Ling, I am here to become my master. This is my trial birth token. Please see it, Master Immortal!" Xie Ling hurriedly bowed deeply, and then took out the dark token from his arms.

The young man in blue glanced at the token in his hand, then grabbed it with one hand and sucked it into his hand out of thin air.

"Yes, it's our Cang Yue Order. You can stay here. If that person doesn't have the order, go down the mountain immediately!" The young man in blue said as his eyes fell on A Gang.

"A Gang, you go back first and tell my father that I have arrived at Cang Yue Sect. Please don't worry." Xie Ling turned around and said to A Gang.

"A-Gang is no longer around, the young master must take good care of himself in the future!" A-Gang has followed Xie Ling since he was a child, and now that they are about to separate, he can't help but feel a little reluctant to let go.

"I know, go quickly! Otherwise it will be difficult to leave when it gets dark." Xie Ling felt his thoughts and was a little emotional.

The young man in blue seemed a little impatient. The flying sword swooped down. He stretched out his right hand to lift Xie Ling onto the flying sword, then pulled it up and disappeared into the clouds in an instant.

A-Gang stared blankly at them flying away before turning and leaving.

In a majestic palace built of sapphire, a young man in blue stood with his hands down, his expression extremely respectful. Opposite him, on a narrow rectangular chair, sat an old man with a white beard. There were also wisteria wooden chairs on both sides of the hall.

Sitting on each side were two monks wearing crescent robes.

"This trial student token should be the one given to the Xie family!" The white-bearded old man glanced at the black token in his hand and then looked at the old man with three beards on the right.

"Reporting to the head brother, this piece was indeed given to them by the Xie family after they assisted our sect in completing a task. At that time, a total of three pieces were given to them. The first two pieces had been used several decades ago. This is the last piece.

One piece!" said the old man with three strands of beard.

"Junior Brother Xiang is in charge of the Internal Affairs Department. Since you have confirmed everything, it should be correct. However, our sect has just recruited a new batch of trial students, and each academy has made arrangements. How should the Xie family arrange it?

"The white-bearded old man said.

"This boy has mediocre qualifications and only has low-grade immortal roots. Master Nephew Cui of the Weapon Refining Institute has complained to me many times about the lack of manpower, so I think I will assign him there." Junior Brother Xiang hesitated for a moment and then said.

"Do you have any opinions?" The white-bearded old man glanced at the others and asked.

The rest of the people naturally had no objections. He was just an ordinary trial student. If he wasn't discussing something in the main hall today, the Internal Affairs Office could handle it on its own.

Xie Ling was waiting for news in the side hall outside. When he saw the young man in blue coming out of the main hall, he felt nervous and excited. He didn't know which immortal master he would be assigned to study under, and the look of anticipation on his face was palpable.

"Follow me!" The young man in blue glanced at him and knew that the fate of the young man in front of him was destined to be in the weapon refining room in the back mountain forever.

Xie Ling saw that he had a strange look on his face, so he suppressed his curiosity and followed him obediently.

"Trial students have one year of trial opportunities. During the year-end assessment, if they do not reach the junior apprentice level, they will be sent home. Only by passing the test can they truly become the outer disciples of our sect." The young man in blue said.

He said as he walked.

Xie Ling was stunned for a while. It turned out that there was only one year of trial time, and if he failed, he would be sent back. This made him feel a little uneasy.

"My name is Jiang Tong, I am on duty today, you can call me senior brother," said the young man in blue.

"Senior Brother Jiang, besides me, are there any other trial students?" Xie Ling asked for the first time.

"Of course there is. Before you came, our sect had just recruited more than a thousand trial students. However, after one year, it is estimated that only one-tenth of them will stay. The rest who failed the test will all be expelled."

Send him back." Jiang Tong said expressionlessly.

"It's so difficult, there's only a one-tenth chance of staying!" Xie Ling smacked his tongue. He didn't think he was a genius. Such a low chance made him feel an invisible pressure.

"You don't have to worry too much," Jiang Tong said.

"Why?" Xie Ling asked with some confusion.

"Because the competition where you are going to trial is relatively small." Jiang Tong said.

"Then where exactly am I going to go for a trial? Senior brother!" Xie Ling finally said what was in his heart.

"Don't worry, you will know later!" Jiang Tong said with a rare smile.

Xie Ling became even more curious, but just like Jiang Tong said, after just a few minutes of tea, he knew where he was going to be tested.

In a location close to the cliff, a square courtyard was built. On the lintel of the courtyard hung a brown wooden plaque with three large black and gold characters carved with extremely exquisite techniques.

‘Weapon Refining Institute’ Xie Ling silently recited this word that was very unfamiliar to him.

"Isn't this Junior Brother Jiang from the Sword Trial Academy?!" A young man wearing the same clothes as Jiang Tong who was coming out of the courtyard said in shock when he saw them.

When Jiang Tong saw him, he unexpectedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Senior Brother Qi has been authorized by Uncle Cui to enter the Earth Fire Chamber to refine weapons. Is that true?"

"Haha, even Junior Brother Jiang knows about this. It was the dean who saw that I was quite diligent, so he allowed me to enter the underground fire room to refine weapons." The man called Senior Brother Qi rubbed his head with his hands and looked like

As if he was embarrassed, his eyes suddenly fell on Xie Ling, and he said with some confusion: "This is -"

"This is Xie Ling, a trial student assigned to the 'Weapon Refining Academy'. Senior brother, please inform Master Cui!" Jiang Tong said.

"Trial students, didn't we just arrange for a group to come last time?" Senior Brother Qi asked even more confused.

"He is not a trial student recruited this time. He came here on his own with a trial student token. Not long ago, Uncle Cui asked for someone from the Internal Affairs Office, so the leader personally assigned him here." Jiang Tong said.

"So that's it. Junior brother, wait a moment. I'm going to report it to the dean." Senior Brother Qi glanced at Xie Ling beside Jiang Tong, and then entered the courtyard.

Not long after, Senior Brother Qi came out of the yard, clasped his fists at Jiang Tong and said, "The dean is selecting the materials to be used next time. Just ask this junior brother to stay. Thank you for your trouble, junior brother, to bring him here!"

Jiang Tong knew that Uncle Cui was a famous workaholic. It was common for him to stay up for days and nights when refining things, so he didn't take it seriously. He turned around and handed a triangular black iron token to Xie Ling and said: "This is

As for how to use your identity token in the future, they will teach you. I have to go back to resume my life, so I will not stay here anymore. I hope to see you again in a year."

"You can definitely see it!" Xie Ling said with a confident light in his eyes.

Jiang Tong was slightly startled. He had seen this kind of look on several other people before, and they were undoubtedly the most outstanding disciples of Cang Yue Sect. Could it be that he——impossible, this is the 'Item Refining Institute', no?

A miracle would happen. He only hesitated for a moment, then launched his flying sword, and disappeared among the mountains in a short time.

"Who is Xie Ling?" Senior Brother Qi looked at Xie Ling and asked.

"Xie Ling has met Senior Brother Qi!" Xie Ling bowed and said.

"My name is Qi Yun. I will take you to the trial students' room. Those who come first will live there." Qi Yun said with a smile.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Xie Ling said expectantly.

The two of them entered the yard one after another and walked around the houses. Qi Yun led Xie Ling to a row of stone houses that had experienced many years and said: "Junior brother Xie, you can choose any of the seven houses as yours."

At the residence, everyone else is busy working now and won’t be back until night.”

Xie Ling glanced at the seven stone houses. Because of their age, the tops of each of the stone houses were covered with thick moss. The four walls of the stone houses were stained with water, and some places were even scratched by people.

There were many writings and pictures carved on it. He pointed to the last stone house and said, "This is the best one!"

"Okay, here's your key!" Qi Yun had a strange look on his face, but then handed him a key.

Opening the door of the stone house, the inside is larger and simpler than expected. There is a desk and wooden chair on the left side of the door. There is a stone bed against the wall opposite. Apart from this, there is only a large wardrobe. Compared with the simple room,

The houses where his servants lived were much inferior, but he was not discouraged. At least he could breathe fresh air freely here. No matter how miserable it was, it was still a hundred times better than his gorgeous little cage!

"Not bad!" Xie Ling placed the package on the stone bed. What he cared about now was not how the place where he lived was, but that he would be assigned to practice under the master next.

"The dean must have finished selecting the materials by now, let's go there!" Qi Yun said.

"Okay!" Xie Ling said.

But just as they were about to leave, a thin young man about the same age as Xie Ling passed by them. His face was as dark as if it had been smoked by fireworks, and his expression was very weak. He was muttering something in his voice.

Big, but Xie Ling could clearly hear the general message that he was unlucky enough to be assigned to the 'Item Refining Institute'.
