Chapter 326: The Heart Trial
"Ke." Ye Fan was not familiar with this name. After thinking about it for a while, he just waved his hand, "Okay, I understand."
After saying this, Ye Fan moved his eyes and looked at a lakeside house not far away, "There should be no one in that house."
"Probably not. There is no label on the door." Chu Tianba replied, "Let's go and take a look first."
"Okay." Ye Fan responded, and the two of them walked towards the house and quickly opened the door. As soon as they entered, a scent of fragrance hit their faces. Inside the door was a wide courtyard with a lake running through it and a small bridge. , there are flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, which is quite elegant.
"It's pretty good." After just a few glances, Ye Fan nodded, "Since there's no one here, it's here."
"Okay." Chu Tianba also responded, "I have an introductory manual of Mingxin Sect here. It introduces various facilities and rules in the sect. It should be of some use to Ye Fan when he first joins the sect."
"Thank you." Ye Fan heard this and took the manual. After seeing each other for many years, he did not remember many things clearly about Mingxin Sect.
"In this case, I won't bother you too much. Brother Fan must be tired from the battle today. Please rest early." Chu Tianba handed over his hand, "I live in Room 45 not far from here. There is a room next to me. It’s a crooked-necked tree. Brother Ye Fan, if you need anything, just come to my place and look for me.”
"Brother Tianba led the way today." Ye Fan also responded with his hand. Watching Chu Tianba leave, he turned out a warrant and hung it at the door. Then he returned to the courtyard again and sat on a table casually. Beside the stone table.
"The elemental concentration of Mingxin Sect is still far higher than the outside world as always." Just feeling it carefully, Ye Fan was slightly impressed.
Hidden sects always have some extra confidence. Mingxin Sect seems to be built on an extremely mysterious spirit gathering formation, and it is alone in a secret realm. It gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the concentration of elements is several times that of the outside world.
Regardless of whether they are cultivators or beast masters, in the final analysis, they rely on the concentration of elemental power to improve their strength, and the density of the elemental concentration determines to a large extent the speed of strength improvement.
The concentration of elements is several times higher. This alone is enough to attract many practitioners to the Mingxin Sect.
"If I can find a way to arrange the spirit gathering array and use it in my beast control space, it may have miraculous effects." Ye Fan thought about something.
The concentration of elements in his beast control space is also far higher than that of the outside world. After all, there are so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures. If the Mingxin Sect can use the spirit gathering formation to gather the elements in one place for practice, I am afraid the effect will be great. Very amazing.
"It's just that this spirit gathering formation is the foundation of Mingxin Sect. It may not be that easy to get it..." With his eyes thinking, Ye Fan stared at the courtyard in front of him. Gradually, some thoughts emerged in his eyes.
He cannot wait here for half a year. There are many resources in Mingxin Sect that can be used. In his previous life, he practiced here for half a year and gained many things, which played a big role in his subsequent growth. Help, the mysterious scriptures that I have used to get rid of evil spirits several times were also obtained from Mingxin Sect.
There are many ways to obtain resources in the Mingxin Sect. The most basic ones are that there will be various tasks assigned in the sect and various open trials. Complete the tasks or get good results in the trials. You can get rewards, and even if you can't get them, there will be special trading places where sect members can exchange with each other, but what you can exchange for depends on what you can take out.
"First go and get all the trial rewards you can get, and then go to the market to see if you can get something suitable." Soon, Ye Fan made it clear, "The Biography of the King of Humans, the Inhuman Race, other than that The Great Spirit-Gathering Formation, and the second half of that scripture.”
"It seems...there are still many things I have to do when I come back to Mingxin Sect."
…
The next day, just early in the morning, Ye Fan opened the door.
After changing into looser clothes, still carrying the long sword on his back, Ye Fan clearly headed towards the rear of Mingxin Sect as soon as he went out.
Practitioners passed by in a hurry on the road, but everyone was not familiar with it. Mingxin Sect focused on cultivating the mind, and everyone came here to seek the Tao. There were rarely worldly fights and intrigues, but occasionally you would see some close cultivators. Stopping and chatting on the road, most people looked thoughtful.
This is a true place to learn.
Snap, snap.
Ye Fan strolled among them, and soon he came to his destination and stopped in front of a classical hall.
The main hall is simple, with only the two stone lions in front of the door showing a bit of grandeur. On the door, there is a plaque with the three characters "Yangxin Palace". There seems to be burning incense in the main hall, and there are clouds and mist filling the front and back of the hall.
This is the Yangxin Hall, the representative building of the Mingxin Sect. It is the place where the elders preach every Monday. At other times, except for the meditation retreats of the disciples and the elders, it is a place where the disciples can challenge the Mingxin Trial.
Ye Fan didn't stop in front of the hall for long. In a short time, he stepped into the hall. In the hall, there were about ten people sitting quietly on futons. An old man was sitting on the chair at the door, holding a pointer in his hand.
"Junior Ye Fan, come to challenge the Mingxin Trial." Ye Fan replied respectfully, but his eyes were inadvertently looking at the pointer in the old man's hand.
The pointer is not an extraordinary thing. It is an imitation of the divine whip among the ten ancient artifacts. It is specially designed to hit people's souls. When the whip is struck, the physical body will not be affected by the great pain of the spirit. Although it does not have the power of the divine whip to disperse the human soul with one whip. , but it is enough to make people hurt for a long time. It is specially used by this old man to warn those disciples who are meditating or losing their minds in trials.
In his previous life, Ye Fan had just entered the Ming Xin Sect and was young and fashionable, with an average mind. The taste of this fake whipping was really impressive.
"Ye Fan?" Hearing Ye Fan's name, the old man just frowned slightly, took out the roster in his hand, and quickly found Ye Fan's name, "Yunyu's student, you come here on the first day of school, you are a bit brave. ”
"I just heard that the Mingxin Trial tests people's minds, and I want to give it a try." Ye Fan replied.
The old man was not very polite, he just nodded and stood up, "Follow me,"
Ye Fan responded and followed the old man walking in the main hall. The trial house was behind the Yangxin Hall and he had to pass by these cultivators.
The old man did not lower his footsteps. On the contrary, he seemed to deliberately step very hard. As the two of them walked, most of the cultivators kept their eyes closed. Occasionally, someone would be unable to bear it and open their eyes to look. The next moment, the old man would be heard with a snap. The fake magic whip was whipped on his body, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and close his eyes again while trembling all over.
"Cultivators, you should set your ambitions in heaven and earth to be as high as the sky, cultivate your body, cultivate your mind, cultivate your ambitions, and a few skylarks will affect your mind, and you will be worthy of it."
The old man spoke with a stern voice, as if to warn everyone. After saying something, he entered the house behind, followed closely by Ye Fan.
As soon as you enter the inner hall, the place is very simple. There is a column half as tall as a person in the middle, and there is a light ball on the column. In addition, only the wall next to it has a tick mark, a total of eighty-one quarters.
"Put your hand on the ball of light and the trial of knowing your mind will begin." The old man spoke without saying any unnecessary words or any other introduction. He stood aside with the fake magic whip on his back.
Ye Fan naturally didn't panic at all. He was considered a familiar customer in this Mingxin Trial. He stepped forward and quickly put his hand on the ball of light.
Boom.
The light ball vibrated, and a bell-like sound sounded. Along with the ripples spreading to the naked eye, the surrounding world changed. The old man was no longer there, and a hall appeared in Ye Fan's sight.
In the main hall, there is glittering gold, and at a glance, all kinds of rare treasures, gold and silver jewelry, are piled up like a hill.
"If money could change my ambition, I wouldn't be here."
Looking at this scene, Ye Fan just smiled and shook his head, and the main hall seemed to feel Ye Fan's disdain. The ripples shook. The next moment, the gold and silver treasures in the main hall changed, and a woman with revealing clothes and a hot figure appeared.
"Vulgar powder can easily catch your eyes."
Ye Fan shook his head again, and the hall shook his head again. This time, gold and silver treasures and beautiful women appeared together.
"It's still a mortal's wish, I don't have this ambition."
…
"Took the exam on November 1st."
Outside the illusion, the old man looked at the eleven scales that lit up on the wall and nodded slightly.
"To be able to pass the eleven secular exams so quickly, this son has a qualified cultivator's heart. Ye Zhantian's grandson is quite as charming as that guy."
Although he said something, it was a compliment, but the old man didn't seem to be looking forward to it. After seeing that Ye Fan failed to pass the 12th exam for a while, he just shook his head.
"The trial of a clear mind has eighty-one tests. There are only eleven tests for worldly wishes, but there are seventy tests for the journey of a clear mind. Throughout the centuries, even the human king has not passed the complete eighty-one tests."
"After all, people have obsessions. To go further in the trial of enlightenment, it depends on whether you can let go of these obsessions."
"The twelfth floor... this number seems to be exactly where Ye Zhantian was blocked back then. You kid, don't be like your ancestors who failed to break through and then smashed the palace and left."
