One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and Rao Yaoyao's words made all the fishermen and farmers feel the blood in their bodies arouse, and even the Tianling Gai heated up.
"Recruiting fishermen and farmers?"
After all, we are all cultivators of immortality. If we can take one step further on the path to immortality, who would be willing to give up?
It sounded difficult and dangerous for more than 4,000 people to select forty outer disciples, so everyone chose to give up. But if we choose fishermen and farmers, why do we need four hundred or even thousands? This opportunity suddenly increased from 1% to 1/45. Who wouldn't be tempted?
"Lingxian Palace actually recruits fishermen and farmers?"
"After all, the elders of Lingxian Palace also need someone to serve them. Isn't that what we fishermen and farmers do?"
"Although I have left my hometown, it is Lingxian Palace! In terms of opportunities, it is a thousand times better than Qingfeng Island."
"I just don't know how many fishermen and farmers to recruit? As long as the number exceeds 400, we can compete."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and everyone was shocked, even Zhang Liang was no exception.
However, he was keenly aware that something was wrong. Lingxian Palace's recruitment of fishermen and farmers was somewhat unlike the sect's structure.
He believed that Lingxian Palace would select outer disciples and outstanding seeds from various islands.
But it is unreasonable to recruit fishermen and farmers from various islands. I heard that there are thousands of immortal islands under his command. If we recruit some here today and some tomorrow, how many fishermen and farmers will the Lingxian Palace have to recruit? ?
The key is that Zhang Liang does not think there is any need to recruit fishermen and farmers. In the mortal world, countless fairy seedlings are actually selected every year. Most of these fairy seedlings have poor qualifications, so they become fishermen and farmers.
Judging from the tide of lobsters in the past three years, fishermen and farmers are like leeks. After harvesting a crop, less than half of the number is left. But if given a little time, the leeks will grow again.
The main function of these recruited fishermen and farmers is probably to cut leeks, because fishermen and farmers only have such little value. Otherwise, do we really expect a few golden phoenixes to fly out of it?
Therefore, while everyone else was excited, Zhang Liang looked calm and absolutely did not believe that such a great thing could happen in the world. Even good things come with risks.
In fact, Zhang Liang was not the only one with a clear mind. Some elderly fishermen and farmers sighed slightly and looked slightly melancholy.
Next to me, an acquaintance of fishermen and farmers saw this and couldn't help asking: "Why are you sighing?"
The old fisherman said calmly: "You can't say it, but don't blame me for not reminding you. If you can't become an outer disciple, you must give up the game as soon as possible and don't fight."
"Why?"
The young man was greatly surprised and did not understand the meaning of this statement. He was about to ask more questions when the old fisherman immediately stopped him: "Don't ask any more questions. Just listen to me. I'm protecting your life."
The old fisherman knew that it was completely impossible to make everyone abandon the game now. If he doesn't explain it, he can't explain it, otherwise the foundation-building overhaul of Lingxian Palace will kill him directly in the name of deceiving the public with his monstrous words.
Therefore, the old fishermen and farmers know the deep meaning, but these young people have no idea at all.
…
On top of the dock.
Seeing this, Rao Yaoyao looked indifferent and listened to her continue: "Now, I will explain the selection rules."
"First of all, this trial is bounded by a radius of three hundred miles directly in front of the shipyard. The boundary is guarded by Lingxian Palace disciples. The competition lasts for three days and three nights, and the boundary is reduced by one hundred miles every day. During this period, you are not allowed to return to the island without any reason."
"Later, everyone will come in order to receive the special jade from Lingxian Palace. This jade has the ability to locate. By injecting spiritual energy, you can detect the location of other jade within ten miles around. Moreover, this jade has restrictions. Cannot be stored in storage bag."
"Those who have lost their spiritual jade can return to the island and give up the game if they no longer want to fight for it."
"Those who have obtained three spiritual jades and successfully obtained the recruitment quota can return to the island and abandon the competition on their own, or they can find the Lingxian Palace disciples guarding the border at sea and express their intention to abandon the competition, and the latter will take you back to the island."
"Those who have obtained two spiritual jade can also get a recruitment quota if they can survive in Xianhai until the end of the selection."
"Finally, if the same person obtains multiple spiritual jade, the number will be displayed to prevent it from being thought that multiple people hold multiple spiritual jade."
All the above are mainly told to normal fishermen and farmers. They have no intention of competing for outer disciples and only hope to become recruited fishermen and farmers.
Then, Rao Yaoyao shouted again:
"In this selection, Lingxian Palace will select 40 people from all the people as outer disciples. The condition is that the 40 people with the largest number of spiritual jade in this selection are the only condition."
"In addition, Lingxian Palace is not accessible to anyone who wants to. In order to increase the difficulty, 40 first-level mid-grade tentacle shrimps and saury fish will be randomly released into the sea outside Qingfeng Island. Each one can be converted into 10 spiritual jade. . There are 3 first-grade top-grade tentacle shrimps and 3 saury fish each, each of which can be converted into 50 spiritual jade pieces. Whether you hunt them or not depends on your wishes."
"hiss……"
"This is a first-order high-grade tentacle shrimp?"
"I heard that that thing shouldn't be treated as a top-grade ferocious beast. If it's scratched by its roots, it's said that even a major foundation builder might be killed."
"I heard that the tentacle shrimp has a hard carapace and flexible tentacles. Even if it is a mid-level first-level creature, it may be comparable to other first-level high-level ferocious beasts."
"What is swordfish?"
A young fisherman was still a little confused. He knew about the tentacle shrimp, but he had never heard of the swordfish.
An elderly fisherman sneered: "Boy, you look like you are not familiar with the world at first glance. The swordfish is a deep-sea fish with a breathtaking blade on its back that can be separated from the body to attack. It is a ferocious beast with secret attack skills." . Because swordfish don’t like coastal waters, they usually have to be more than five hundred miles away from the island to encounter them, but few people will go fishing for this thing.”
"It's like this. He also has secret skills. It's really scary."
"If you put these things in the fairy sea near the coast, what if you encounter them?"
"What should I do? Either run away quickly, or wait to die if you can't run away!"
"However, there are less than a hundred ferocious beasts within a three hundred mile range, so the possibility of encountering them is not very high."
"What I'm afraid of is that on the last day, within a hundred miles, the possibility of encountering a vicious beast will greatly increase."
People were talking a lot, but Zhang Liang was wondering if he wanted to hunt a few? But then I thought about it, it was really not necessary! Not to mention the danger, even if you hunt all these first-level high-grade ferocious beasts, you won't be able to take a small step forward on the road to the third level of body refining, so there is no need.
After Rao Yaoyao read out the rules, he suddenly said: "By the way, the top three in this Lingxian Palace outer disciple selection competition can obtain Lingxian Palace's top-grade Kung Fu "Immortal Tide Kung Fu". There is no problem with the foundation. Therefore, those who are determined should not hide their strength and miss out on such high-quality skills."
"High-quality skills?"
"Top three?"
"How difficult it is. This technique cannot be competed with."
Most people were just slightly surprised and then simply ignored this sentence. In their opinion, it was fatal to be wishful thinking despite not having the ability.
However, there are also people with bright eyes and secretly thinking that this is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step. With high-grade skills in hand, the path to immortality will be much smoother, and there may be the possibility of being promoted to an inner disciple in the future.
After a while.
Everyone received the spiritual jade in an orderly manner, and after that, many people began to look for acquaintances who knew each other to form a team.
You know, there is a loophole that can be exploited in the rules just read out.
The loophole is that if fishermen want to be recruited, they need three spiritual jade. That means that a team of two people, or a team of four or more people, would be a better choice.
In a two-person team, even if one person cheats the other, they can only get two spiritual jade at most. After obtaining two spiritual jade, this person must rob one more person before he can give up the game and get a quota.
If there are more than four people in a team, even if someone wants to take it all, the difficulty is not that great.
There is a large number of people, and there is not much difference in the strength of the fishermen and farmers. No one dares to say that it is foolproof, so naturally it is unlikely that one of our own will take action against our own.
Of course, no matter which one, there is actually room for maneuver.
Lingxian Palace doesn’t care whether you form a team or not, what they see is the result. As long as you can get three spiritual jade, you will get the quota.
Anyway, no matter what their character is, the strength of these selected people will not be too bad after all.
Or, they actually don't care about the strength of the fishermen and farmers. After all, only the people in Lingxian Palace know the starting point of this trial.
At this moment, many people are forming teams.
It's not like Zhang Liang hasn't thought about it. He is not afraid of being among the team. He is confident that no one among the current fishermen and farmers can really rob him.
However, when teaming up with others, I dare not use my full strength after all. On the other hand, it is not difficult for me to rob others. With my current strength and the number of talismans on my body, it should not be a big problem to reach the top 40.
"Zhang Liang."
Just when Zhang Liang decided to become a lone ranger, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
Zhang Liang looked back and saw to his surprise that Gong Yu had arrived beside him at some point.
"Sister Gong?"
Gong Yu was now dressed in black, her hair was tied up with a band, her figure was tall and straight, her lines were smooth and uneven. When he looked at himself, his eyes were sharp and he had a confident smile on his face. It could be said that he had a good temperament.
Gong Yu smiled faintly: "You call me sister, which is very kind. I wonder what you think about this trial?"
Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "I have no plans yet."
But I heard Gong Yu say: "I have formed a team here. I wonder if you are interested?"
"oh?"
Zhang Liang was slightly stunned. He didn't know why Gong Yu was thinking about him. After all, they hadn't seen each other for almost three years. Gong Yu probably had no impression of him.
Moreover, since Gong Yu could become the steward of Qingfeng Shipyard before, her strength must not be too weak. Three years ago, she had at least the fifth level of Qi training. It is even more difficult to say now. How could she like him?
"Sister Gong, aren't you afraid that I will hold you back?"
Gong Yu looked at Zhang Liang with a deep look and said: "I voluntarily gave up my status as a steward two years ago and participated in the fight against the spirit lobster tide. In the first year, I was still the steward of the dock and participated in the personnel counting work. Do you understand what I mean? "
"Oops."
Zhang Liang has not paid taxes in three years and has rarely attended roll call. As a former dock manager, Gong Yu should be well aware of this matter.
Seeing Zhang Liang's face darken, Gong Yu whispered: "It's normal for a cultivator to have some secrets. I won't mention this to others, but you and I know very well that you are not an ordinary fisherman. So simple. Therefore, I am sincere in asking you to cooperate. Naturally, my goal is not to be a mere fisherman and farmer. As for the identity of the outer disciple, I am bound to get it, and you must be the same?"
