Chapter 26 Vermilion Bird Courtyard

The Xuanyuan Sword Sect is divided into five courtyards, each of which occupies a magnificent and vast mountain peak. They are Central Qilin Peak, Eastern Qinglong Peak, Western Baihu Peak, Southern Zhuque Peak, and Northern Xuanwu Peak. But this apprenticeship assessment was conducted on the front mountain of the Five Courtyards, which belongs to the gate of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. When Lu Ming and Autumn Moon arrived, it was already a sea of people, bustling with people everywhere. Basically, they are young people in their teens, estimated to be no less than tens of thousands. At the foot of the mountain, there are two broad mountain paths leading to the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. "For those who recommend jade plaques, walk to the right. For those who do not recommend jade plaques, walk to the left and participate in various assessments inside!" A young man with a long sword on his back and an imposing aura shouted loudly. Lu Ming had previously learned that those who recommend jade plaques do not need to participate in assessments and can directly join the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. Because there are recommended jade plaques, it indicates that experts from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect have already passed the assessment, and they are all talented individuals. Otherwise, it would not be easy to issue recommended jade plaques. Lu Ming has a jade plaque recommended by Mulan, so he naturally does not need to participate in the assessment. "Qiuyue, go and participate in the assessment!" Lu Ming said to Qiuyue. "Okay, young master!" Autumn Moon nodded. "Come on!" Lu Ming smiled and cheered for the autumn moon. Assessment includes many items, such as willpower, testing meridians, testing blood vessels, etc. There are even specialized pulse testers there, even if there is no awakening of blood vessels temporarily, it doesn't matter. Pulse testers can measure roughly and estimate the level of blood vessels. This is an opportunity for Qiuyue, maybe we can determine what her bloodline is. Autumn Moon nodded vigorously and then headed to the left. The mountain road on the left is crowded with people, forming a long queue. Lu Ming has been waiting outside, he has to wait for the outcome of the autumn moon. "Sigh! Why are you demanding so much? It seems like I won't have the chance to join the Xuanyuan Sword Sect!" From time to time, Lu Ming could see people walking out of it, sighing one by one, and even crying loudly. Obviously, these people were all those who did not pass the assessment. Slowly, the autumn moon disappeared along the mountain road with the team. After a moment, three long rainbows suddenly burst out from the depths of the mountain road on the left. The long rainbow rushes into the sky, piercing through the clouds. The long rainbow runs through the sun, and the three long rainbows represent the connection of three divine veins. "Is it the autumn moon?" Lu Ming's eyes lit up. At this moment, in front of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect's mountain gate, they were all plunged into a clamor due to these three long rainbows. "Three Rainbows, someone has connected three divine veins. Genius, how could there be such a genius among this generation?" "I stayed at the peak of the 'Tongmai' realm for two years before finally penetrating the six major acupoints of the first divine meridian. It's really incomparable between people!" "If this person is willing, they will definitely be able to enter the Qilin Academy." Everyone's gaze was fixed on that direction, and discussions were raging. Ga! At this moment, a huge white crane flew out from the depths of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and landed at the place where the rainbow rose. "A prominent figure from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect was startled. This genius is probably going to soar to the sky in one step." Someone sighed, with envy in their eyes. "It seems that there is no problem for Qiuyue to join the Xuanyuan Sword Sect." Lu Ming smiled and then strode towards the right mountain road. The entrance to the right mountain road is also guarded by disciples of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, but there are very few people on this mountain road. When Lu Ming took out the recommended jade plaque, he easily entered. Along the mountain road, it slanted upwards, but not far away. On the left side, a rainbow rose up from the sky. This time, there are two long rainbows. But this is not over yet. Not long after, two long rainbows surged up again. "It seems that there are many geniuses among this group of people!" Even Lu Ming was surprised to see a genius who could connect two divine meridians in a row. Don't forget, there are still many people who recommend jade plaques and don't need to participate in assessments, just like him. How many geniuses are there among these people? Among this group of people, there is really a gathering of geniuses. "That's what's interesting!" A hint of war flashed in Lu Ming's eyes. Continuing forward, soon after, the mountain road reached its end and a wide square appeared ahead. At this point, there are thousands of people on the square. On the square, there are four roads, and next to them stands a huge stone tablet, which is about ten meters high. It is carved with four divine beasts: Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, Xuanwu, and others. Only the road to the Qilin Academy is missing. "Xuanwu Academy, this is Xuanwu Academy. Junior brothers, come and join our Xuanwu Academy, I promise there will be many benefits!" At the entrance of Xuanwu Courtyard Road, several young people were shouting vigorously. "White Tiger Courtyard, joining my White Tiger Courtyard is the best choice. My White Tiger Courtyard is the strongest courtyard besides Qilin Courtyard!" "I'm here at Qinglong Courtyard. Qinglong Courtyard is the oldest courtyard among the five major courtyards." "The Vermilion Bird Courtyard is full of beautiful women inside." With shouts and undulations, the four courtyards are all pulling people for their mission. The competition among the four courtyards is fierce, and the new disciples, as fresh blood, represent the future. For a large courtyard, their role is self-evident. At this point, new disciples can freely choose to join a certain courtyard. Of course, except for those like Lu Ming who have recommended jade plaques, they already belong to the same courtyard as the one they previously received. Among the five courtyards, only Qilin is the exception. Among the five courtyards, the Qilin Courtyard stands tall and mysterious. It's not something you can join if you want. Those who can join the Qilin Courtyard are all top-notch geniuses. Of course, the number of disciples in the Qilin Academy is also the smallest, and few people know how many disciples the Qilin Academy will accept each year. Suddenly, Lu Ming's eyes twitched. Near the entrance of the White Tiger Courtyard, Lu Yao wore a white dress and stood among many young men and women, like a crowd of stars holding the moon. "That's Lu Yao. I heard that she awakened her fifth level bloodline, connected two divine veins, and has already married the unparalleled genius Duanmu Lin of the Duanmu family. She really flies up the branch and turns into a phoenix!" "Yeah, I'm really envious. If it were me, I would wake up laughing from my dreams." "With you alone, how could Duanmulin look up to you?" Near Lu Ming, some young people were whispering and discussing, especially a few young girls with envy on their faces. Lu Yao was chatting and laughing in the crowd, her gaze wandering. As she swept past Lu Ming, she clearly saw him too. Her face darkened slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Later, Lu Yao looked at the crowd surrounding him and then at Lu Ming, with a hint of mockery in her eyes. But Lu Ming just smiled casually. At this moment, a bird's song rang out in the sky, followed by a graceful white crane flying over. The white crane is very huge, far surpassing ordinary white cranes, with wings spread out, reaching a terrifying height of over 20 meters. On top of the white crane, two figures stood. One is a middle-aged woman wearing a golden robe, and the other is a beautiful young girl. "Autumn Moon!" Seeing this young girl, Lu Ming was overjoyed. "Golden silk robe, that's Elder Golden Robe!" "It's really Elder Jinpao. Who is this girl? Even Elder Jinpao was shocked." "Probably a top-notch genius!" "Who are they looking for?" The young people around were in an uproar, all looking in awe at the middle-aged woman on the white crane.
