Chapter 28: Immortal Stairway Trial

Qingxuan Mountain is located in Qingzhou, away from the Qingyun Mountain Range, and in the middle of Zhao State.

It is so high that it is difficult to see its peak with the naked eye. It is also the largest mountain in Qingzhou.

The foot of Qingxuan Mountain is covered with dense vegetation and forests, while the peak is covered with ice and snow all year round, as cold as winter. You can experience spring, summer, autumn and winter in Qingxuan Mountain alone.

Lin Shiming followed Lin Xianzhi and looked at the giant peak in front of him. He felt that the mountain was so high that he looked up to it for a moment, like a sacred mountain.

And he was just a drop in the ocean, just a mayfly between his fingers.

"There are 108 steps of the immortal ladder at the foot of Qingxuan Sect. The sect is located there!" Lin Xianzhi said in front.

As he said that, he took the lead and walked forward, and saw a ladder to heaven in front of them.

On the ladder, there were still many cultivators, walking up the mountain, like ordinary people climbing the mountain, which made Lin Shiming feel quite novel.

"This Immortal Staircase is one of the foundations of Qingxuan Sect. All foundation-building and Qi-training cultivators are not allowed to ascend by flying ladders, but must climb step by step. You will know the mystery of it after experiencing it for one step!" Lin Xianzhi explained beside him, and then waved his hand, motioning Lin Shiming to try it.

Lin Shiming did not hesitate, nodded and went up.

However, when he took the first step, he felt that the whole body suddenly increased in gravity, and the spiritual power of the whole body paused, and then it became a little scattered.

"This!" Lin Shiming was shocked and stepped back in a hurry.

Gravity is a small matter. If the refined spiritual energy dissipates and disappears, it means that several years of cultivation will be wasted.

However, the magical thing is that when Lin Shiming retreated, the spiritual energy was restored again, and the previous sense of gravity and oppression disappeared. If Lin Shiming had not felt that the spiritual power seemed to be condensed a little, he would have thought it was an illusion just now.

"Does this ladder have the effect of condensing the practice?" Lin Shiming said with some surprise.

"This immortal ladder does have the effect of refining the skills, but non-disciples of this sect only have one chance to experience it. The second time you climb the immortal ladder, you will only feel the pressure of gravity, and there will be no progress in the skills. This is also a reward from Qingxuan Sect, as a Jindan Sect, to all the subordinate families or independent practitioners who come to worship!" Lin Xianzhi introduced it on the side. Obviously, he had been here countless times.

Lin Shiming also understood the trick after listening to it. It is a sweet date and a big stick, which makes you more afraid of the sect.

"Continue to climb. You can practice the Qingmu Jue for the small Zhoutian practice. Control the spiritual energy not to dissipate so quickly. I will protect you!" Lin Xianzhi proposed again.

Lin Shiming was not shy. After taking a deep breath, he stepped into the immortal ladder again. This time he was well prepared and no longer panicked.

Concentrating and calming down, the Qingmu Jue began to operate in his body, and the operation of the small Zhoutian was not so smooth.

After all, the huge gravity was also a big resistance to him. After trying ten breaths, Lin Shiming completed the smooth operation of the small Zhoutian.

The spiritual energy was dispersing and condensing at the same time.

Lin Shiming continued to climb the stairs.

It usually took Lin Shiming a few minutes to walk up the stairs, but at this moment, it took Lin Shiming a full hour to walk up 72 stairs.

At this time, his face was already covered with sweat.

In addition, most of the spiritual energy had been dispersed, and more spiritual energy was dispersing uncontrollably.

When he climbed the 100th step, Lin Shiming felt that his whole body was exhausted, and the spiritual energy was dispersed to the extreme, leaving only the spiritual energy that had just been circulated by the Qingmu Jue Xiao Zhoutian.

With the last step, all the spiritual energy was restored and gravity was released.

He felt that his whole body was as light as a swan, and the spiritual energy was condensed like iron.

Lin Shiming was also surprised to find that the spiritual energy in his body increased a little. Just this small step of practice was equivalent to half a month of hard practice.

In an instant, the size of Qingxuan Sect expanded a little more in Lin Shiming's heart.

The Jindan Sect is really incredible, and can turn decay into magic.

While Lin Shiming was sighing, he also looked back at other cultivators, including some family elders who took their young disciples to climb the mountain for cultivation. His feelings were deepened again.

This trip to Qingxuan Sect, just the harvest this time, has already made him extremely satisfied.

It is true that an old man in the family is like a treasure. If it were an ordinary casual cultivator, there would be no such opportunity.

"Not bad, it took only two hours to climb the immortal ladder. The degree of spiritual energy condensation and perseverance are not worse than those of ordinary excellent sect disciples!" Lin Xianzhi was obviously very satisfied and couldn't help praising him.

"Seventh uncle is too flattering. Shiming was already in a mess for just a step of stairs. It's really not good!" Lin Shiming smiled bitterly. After climbing the immortal ladder, Lin Shiming actually understood his own shortcomings. His body was weak and his spiritual power was not condensed enough. You should know that Qingmu Jue is originally superior in spiritual energy condensation. It's really wrong to be like this.

"Young man, don't be too modest. Yu Qing brought Shijie here three years ago, and it was just like this!" Lin Xianzhi spoke again, which made Lin Shiming quite stunned. His elder brother had also been here. The most surprising thing was that his speed was not as fast as his three spiritual roots.

For a moment, Lin Shiming seemed to have a picture of his elder brother climbing the ladder breathlessly in his mind.

"Let's go, let's go to the reception outside the sect now to meet the master!"

After walking hundreds of meters along the stone path, they finally arrived at the reception of the Qingxuan Sect.

The reception of the Qingxuan Sect is a large hall, from the door plaque to the attic threshold, all of which are extremely magnificent, with dragon carvings and embroidery, and extraordinary splendor.

Several disciples wearing Qingxuan Sect Taoist robes are receiving the scattered cultivators and families one by one.

Most of the independent cultivators wanted to pass the test of Qingxuan Sect to see if they could become disciples of the sect in one step, while most of the family disciples, like the Lin family at the moment, had connections in the sect.

After Lin Xianzhi and others reported it, the disciples of the sect threw out the sound transmission talisman to communicate and hand over.

Soon, a special cultivator led Lin Shiming and others to the mountain gate.

The destination of this trip was a group of purple attic buildings, and the cave attic of Zixuan Sanren was here.

As soon as he arrived at the door, there was a Taoist robe disciple who was also young, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Junior brother, the master is inside!"

"Thank you very much, senior brother!" Lin Xianzhi bowed, then took out a small pot of second-grade high-quality spirit wine from the storage bag and handed it to the latter.

"What's this, Junior Brother?"

"Senior Brother used to pay a lot of attention to Junior Brother. Junior Brother hasn't seen me for thirty years, so I specially gave you a pot of wine as an apology. I hope you won't despise it." Seeing this, the latter finally accepted it, his nose moved slightly, and his face was even more smiling.

Lin Xianzhi continued to lead Lin Shiming into the hall.

When he arrived in the hall, Lin Shiming soon saw an old man in purple robes, with a fairy-like appearance and white hair.

"Disciple and descendants pay homage to Master!" Lin Xianzhi bowed, and Lin Shiming immediately spoke:

"Shiming pays homage to Zixuan Sanren!"
