I'm the master of my life

Chapter 169 Immortal Cultivator Passerby 14

There were only three or four people standing at the entrance of the passage, apparently they had just come out of the passage. She saw Nangong Yue among them.

"Quiet, everyone, quiet down. Next is the last stage - climbing the ladder. There are 1000 steps in the ladder, and the time limit is one day. Those who climb 300 steps are menial disciples; those who climb 600 steps are outer disciples; those who climb 900 steps or more are inner disciples. If you have not climbed 300 steps by sunset, you will be eliminated.

Of course, if you perform well and are accepted as a disciple by a venerable, you may become a personal disciple, or even a core disciple. So everyone, work hard to climb up! Now get ready and start the challenge. "As the words fell, the crowd began to rush towards the stairs.

Lanxi and the others watched the crowd rushing forward and followed calmly. There was no need to squeeze into such a wide staircase. It would be unwise to waste energy before the start. Although there were only a thousand steps, there must be a mystery, just like what was written in the novel, with an illusion array or gravity or something like that.

Lanxi's guess was correct. Some people in the crowd in front slowed down at the 10th step.

As Lanxi and his companions followed the crowd up the stairs, they could clearly feel a little pressure on their bodies, which became heavier as they went forward. When they reached the 10th step, the pressure suddenly doubled.

Lanxi and the others finally understood why the person in front of them slowed down when they reached the 10th step. If someone was unprepared and was caught off guard by such a sudden pressure, wouldn't their speed be slowed down?

Moreover, it seems that the pressure increases with the level of cultivation. The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the pressure. Therefore, even if you are in the foundation-building stage, you are the same as those who have not practiced. You have to rely on your physical fitness to climb up. Cultivation is useless here.

Here, the benefits of body training were demonstrated, and it just so happened that the four of them had all practiced body training, so they were moving forward at a constant speed along the way and did not feel any effort.

Obviously, this test is not very friendly to young children. Those who are under 10 years old are not so bad because they still have one chance. If those who are over 10 years old are eliminated, they can only try in other sects.

Lanxi still adhered to the principle of not standing out and did not rush forward. The other three could only cooperate with her helplessly.

Lanxi and the others looked at the three people in front of them who were walking slower and slower, and they wanted to go up to them and make them walk faster, but they couldn't and could only lag behind them slowly.

The man in front of Lanxi felt the burning gaze behind him, looked back, and found nothing, so he sped up vigilantly. The person in front of him thought he wanted to sprint, so he also sped up. In this way, the three people in front were chasing each other, and the four of Lanxi always kept the speed of climbing three steps slowly and followed behind them.

When they reached the top, the three people in front collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion. Lanxi and the other three went to a corner and chatted and laughed. The three of them looked at each other and saw that they were not tired at all. They looked at each other, took a pill and began to recover their strength.

As the three people in front were chasing each other, Lanxi and the others were even more exhausted. The seven of them left the people behind far behind. They waited up there for a full quarter of an hour before someone climbed up tiredly.

Lanxi contributed the snacks she made, Suli also contributed the spiritual fruits in her own space, Luoshan contributed the second-level honey water, and Luoning, a little embarrassed, took out various cakes and candies.

Lanxi and the other two looked at Luo Ning in surprise. Luo Ning blushed a little when the three girls looked at him, and said embarrassedly: "Well, that was made by my mother for me."

"Okay, Brother Luo Ning, you don't have to involve my aunt. Isn't it normal to like sweets?"

Luo Ning frowned and said, "But Afu said that men will be laughed at if they eat sweets." Afu was Luo Ning's follower. Unlike Yao Huang and Wei Zi who followed Lanxi, Afu was a servant of the Luo family. At the age of 12, he was sent to serve Luo Ning, who was only three years old.

"You also said you are a man, you are still a child. Besides, who said that men can't eat sweets?" At this point, Lan Xi narrowed her eyes and looked at Luo Ning and asked, "Besides saying that you can't eat sweets, what else did Ah Fu say?"

"Ahfu said that I look best in red clothes, and that I don't know how to do many things. What will I do if I leave him? He also said that I don't know the ways of the world and it's easy to offend people. Fortunately, he is there to give me advice."

"Do your uncle and aunt know what Ah Fu said to you?"

Luo Ning shook his head and said, "My father and mother don't know. I didn't tell them. I bought these cakes and candies secretly."

Luo Shan also said angrily: "You said you are usually a smart person, why did you act so stupid this time? You didn't even know that something went wrong with the people around you."

"Ah! How could it be? Ah Fu grew up with me, how could he betray me?"

"He didn't want to betray you, he just wanted to control you." Su Li said. She had seen this kind of thing in her previous life. It was just a case of a servant bullying his master.

"Control me?"

"Yes, he is brainwashing you and controlling you with words. Do you think that everything he says is right, but after thinking about it carefully, you find that it is wrong? But you don't know what is wrong."

Lanxi looked at Luo Ning with pity. He was just a child, but he had been brainwashed since he was a child. If it weren't for the fact that this was in the world of cultivation, Luo Ning had spent most of his time training his body since he was 5 years old. Otherwise, after several years of brainwashing, Ah Fu would have succeeded long ago.

Luo Ning nodded in confusion. Lan Xi thought for a while, took out a brain-stimulating pill and said, "Here, take this." This was developed by her in the past, and it is the best to use now.

Luo Ning reached out and took it and swallowed it. Although he didn't know what it was, he had a natural affinity for Lan Xi.

How could he not feel peaceful? Lan Xi had a strong golden aura of merit, and Luo Ning instinctively approached Lan Xi, which made him feel at peace.

Luo Ning swallowed the wake-up pill and felt much clearer. He also found the flaw in what Ah Fu had said all along. He decided to stay away from Ah Fu in the future and tell his parents what had happened.

At noon, disciples came to register those who had passed the checkpoint, issued identity cards, and told them to gather at the square of Taiji City tomorrow.

Lanxi and his friends excitedly went down the mountain and returned to Taiji City to reunite with their families.

Lanxi, Luoshan, Luoning and Su Li waved goodbye at the door, and then took Luoning to Luoqi and told him about Luoning's situation. Luoning also wrote a letter and asked his uncle to take it back to his parents. What happened next was not their business, and the elders would handle it.
