The head of the Song Dynasty prefers to recruit more children under the age of ten, because most of the children in this period are relatively simple in character. They are taught by real people or masters of the sect. Generally, they will not grow crooked when they grow up, and they also have a greater sense of belonging to the sect.
This time Tianyun Sect also had to relax the entry test. Those disciples brought back by Jindan Master did not need to pass the test of Wudao Cliff, but they had to pass the mountain road and Qili Pond.
Walking on the mountain road represents the perseverance and perseverance of new disciples, and is a test of whether their pursuit of the Tao is firm. If their pursuit of the Tao is not firm, no matter how good their understanding is, such people will not be able to go far in cultivating immortality.
This test cannot be abandoned.
Qili Pond tests a person's character through the water in the pool. If a person with bad character succeeds in cultivating the Taoism, he is likely to disregard the life and death of mortals and low-level monks to cause trouble, or he may not be able to withstand other temptations and embark on a dangerous path. Return, then they are not recruiting disciples to protect Tianyuan Continent, but indirectly cultivating the Demon King.
Therefore, this test cannot be abandoned.
The Wudao Cliff tests the disciple's understanding. Although understanding is also very important to a monk, it cannot determine everything about a monk. As long as some monks with poor understanding have good mind and character, and diligence can make up for their weakness, there is a possibility that the stupid bird will fly first.
So this level can be abandoned temporarily.
In this way, the sect can recruit more disciples and make up for the gap caused by the loss of a large number of foundation-building disciples as soon as possible.
If the disciples brought back cannot pass the first two levels, the sect will uniformly send these disciples home one by one.
Unless some people who had done great evil were killed in Qili Pond, it would be equivalent to Tianyun Sect eliminating harm for the people.
After Zhuzhu heard about this task that only Jindan Zhenren could accept, she immediately went to accept the task.
Of course, the more disciples with spiritual roots that Jindan Zhenren recruits, the more rewards or points the sect will give.
And as a leader, if you recruit a Tianlinggen disciple, the sect will reward you with 200,000 points.
A disciple with two spiritual roots will be rewarded with 50,000 points for the leader.
Three spiritual root disciples, 10,000 points.
Four spiritual root disciples, one thousand points.
A disciple of the Five Spiritual Roots, one hundred points.
However, the reason why Zhuzhu took on this long-term mission was not because of the points, but because he sincerely wanted to find a few good talents for the sect and help Tianyun Sect become stronger and stronger.
Moreover, this task is not time-limited, and those of them who have accepted the task can bring back their disciples at any time.
Zhuzhu thought it was pretty good. Anyway, the eldest sister might not be able to leave seclusion for another year or two. She could definitely accept a few disciples back during this period.
However, her Octagonal Feixian Pavilion could not seat many people, so she still wanted to bring back more disciples, so she spent her own money to buy a small spiritual ship that could accommodate nearly a hundred people.
Then he drove the octagonal Feixian Pavilion and flew towards the outside of the sect.
This time, there are more than 200 Jindan masters in the sect who are tasked with recruiting disciples.
Most of them rushed away after receiving the mission, fearing that they would be late and the good seedlings would be snatched away by other Jindan masters. Many of them went directly to crowded and bustling cities, which made it easier for them to find needles in haystacks.
But Zhuzhu wanted to go to a remote place like Lingfeng City.
The people in those places are not only unconcerned with the world and simple in character, but also because they have never heard of the existence of immortal sects such as Tianyun Sect, there may be a phenomenon of being left behind in the ocean.
Besides, she wasn't doing it for the sect's points, so she didn't have to fight with her fellow sects to get a few more disciples.
Going to a remote place can avoid other students, so there won't be too many conflicts, which is great.
So next Zhuzhuyu drove the Bajiao Feixian Pavilion to the deep mountains and old forests.
Not to mention, she really found several villages and some small towns in these remote places.
When she deliberately changed from the Octagonal Flying Fairy Pavilion to flying with a sword and landed on top of a city here that was smaller than Lingfeng City, it immediately caused a sensation among the people in the city below.
"Look, there is a goddess in the sky." Someone looked up and accidentally saw Zhuzhu and exclaimed excitedly.
Others followed the direction of his eyes and raised their heads: "Oh my god, there really are gods in the sky!"
"Your Excellency, please accept my obeisance from me." Someone actually knelt down and kowtowed to Zhuzhu, but Zhuzhu quickly used his spiritual power to lift him up. He had never done anything to benefit them, so he did not deserve their kneeling ceremony. .
"I am not a god, but a cultivator of immortality. You don't need to kneel to me."
Zhuzhu put away the Silver Moon Sword and landed on the square in the center of the city. She used her spiritual power to spread what she said to ensure that everyone in the city could hear it, "I am here to recruit disciples into my sect of cultivating immortals. If you have a child between the ages of five and ten in your family, you can bring him here to see me to test whether he has the qualifications to become an immortal. If your child is selected, I will take him to become an immortal and ask questions, but at the same time I will give you A bag of gold leaves as a reward.”
Zhuzhu just used spiritual power to sweep it. There is only one family in this city that has monks, that is, the central city lord's family, but the highest level of cultivation is only in the early stage of foundation construction, and most of the others are mortals, so the currency in circulation is still gold and silver.
Even if you give them spiritual stones, they have nothing to spend on them, so it's better to give them gold and silver.
Upon hearing about this good news, most people in the city went home excitedly to find their children.
The people who had no children could only watch around the square with regret.
Even if Zhuzhu says that she is not a fairy, in their minds, the only person who can fly in the sky can only be done by those with fairy methods. Even City Lord Qiao, who has the highest martial arts value, cannot do it, so even if they don't have children, they still have to take advantage of it. This is an opportunity to see female fairies more often, and you will be blessed.
Of course, City Lord Qiao's family also heard Zhuzhu's words. As a foundation-building monk, City Lord Qiao even saw Zhuzhu falling from the sky with his own eyes.
He is the only foundation-building monk in their family, and the other elders are all in the Qi refining stage. Those who can fly in the sky must be the legendary Jindan Zhenren or seniors with higher cultivation levels.
Unexpectedly, there are actually sects of cultivating immortals in this world, and there are real people who have cultivated to the golden elixir stage.
If he had known it earlier, he would definitely give up the position of inheriting the city lord and go to the Immortal Cultivation Sect to cultivate immortality and see the wider and more wonderful world.
But it's too late to think about this now. He is now over a hundred years old and has at most a few decades left to live.
Even if you practice cultivation again now, you may not be able to accomplish much.
However, these young descendants in the family have caught up with the good times, and there is still hope of joining the cultivating sect:
"Second brother and fourth brother, please quickly take all the children in the family between the ages of five and ten to the square."
"Brother, what if the other party is a liar? Aren't you afraid that the descendants of our Qiao family will enter the devil's cave and never come back?" Qiao Laosi is very satisfied with the current situation of the Qiao family and thinks there is no need to leave the children of the Qiao family in the hands of a strange woman. Here, who knows whether she is good or evil.
"Fourth brother, she has such a means of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth. She is at least a golden elixir cultivation level. With her ability, she can destroy our Qingshan City with her own hands. She can also do whatever she wants in the city. She can catch as many children as she wants. It doesn't matter anyway. People could stop her, but she didn't. Instead, she openly told her whereabouts. Do you think such a person is like one of those demons and monsters who do all kinds of evil?"
After City Lord Qiao finished speaking, Fourth Qiao finally realized that the other party might really be here to recruit disciples. If the Qiao family didn't seize the opportunity, other small immortal cultivating families might emerge in Qingshan City in the next few decades and take over. The Qiao family was far behind.
"Let's do it now!" Qiao Lao Er and Qiao Lao Si hurriedly went to each room to ask for the child.
"Wait!" City Lord Qiao stopped them again, "Find all the children from the Qiao family's branches as well."
"Brother, if those children from the side branch are selected, won't they overwhelm our direct line?" Qiao Laosi was puzzled again.
"Fourth brother, you need to take a longer view. It's okay that the children from the side branch were selected. But if you look at it, their surname is also Qiao. I am still the patriarch of the Qiao family. They can't become immortals and then disown each other. Besides, if There are selected children from the side branches. We can treat them well and take good care of their parents and relatives. In this way, even if they come back to visit their relatives after they have successfully cultivated, they will not be dissatisfied with our direct descendants, the Qiao family. On the contrary, they will be grateful for the things we have given them. The opportunity to seek immortality and ask questions will give them no worries, and they will only be more grateful to the direct descendants of the Qiao family."
Qiao Lao Er and Qiao Lao Si looked impressed when they heard this. The eldest brother still has a big picture and thinks things through.
After waiting for more than two hours, Zhuzhu realized that almost all the children between the ages of five and ten in this small town were here. A rough estimate showed that there were probably more than a thousand children.
I just don’t know how many of these more than a thousand children will have spiritual roots.
There are also a very small number of people who give up because their parents are reluctant to leave their children.
Regarding this choice, Zhuzhu also supported them. It is understandable that some people just want their children to live a peaceful and happy life in front of them.
Because they are the children's parents, the ones who gave their children life, the choice is in their hands, not in their own hands, and they have no right to force them to separate their flesh and blood.
"Okay," Zhuzhu took out a stone plate for testing spiritual roots, took out a table from the storage ring, put the stone plate on the table and said, "You can come forward one by one to test whether you have cultivated immortality. Qualification, put one of your hands on the stone plate on the table, and the person who lights up the stone plate is the person who has the qualifications to practice."
The children of the Qiao family lined up and stepped forward first. They had already heard from the city lord's grandfather that if they could be chosen by the fairy sister in front of them to enter the fairy sect, their future achievements would not be inferior to the city lord's grandfather, and they might be able to be as good as the fairy sister. Flying in the sky.
Even though they are reluctant to leave the family, most children are still full of yearning for the thought of going to the Immortal Sect to practice and become gods.
The children of the Qiao family put their hands on the stone plate one by one, but among the more than a hundred children, only six had spiritual roots.
Three of them have five spiritual roots, two have four spiritual roots, and only one has three spiritual roots.
Moreover, their spiritual root attributes are not too high.
Comparing them to the young Ni family back then, they were far different.
However, Zhuzhu was not too disappointed. If Tianlinggen disciples were so easy to find, the sect would not reward them with such high points.
The rest are the descendants of those more than a thousand mortals tested.
But the rate of spiritual roots among more than a thousand people is even lower. Only seven have spiritual roots, and the others are not qualified to cultivate immortals. Moreover, most of those seven are between the four spiritual roots and the fifth spiritual roots, and the spiritual root attributes Not high either.
However, the parents of some children who failed the stone plate test did not give up and wanted to beg Zhuzhu to accept them as sitting fairy children.
Zhuzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Some of them really thought about their children's future and didn't want them to spend their whole lives doing nothing in this small town. However, watching others practice in a cultivating sect without spiritual roots would be the greatest cruelty to them. It would be better to live an ordinary and simple life. Finish this life.
Some fell in love with money, and wanted to force the children to Zhuzhu in exchange for the bag of gold leaves, regardless of whether they had spiritual roots or not, for the bag of gold leaves promised by Zhuzhu.
Zhuzhu looked at these people and had to use her spiritual power to snort coldly. The sound was like a thunder, scaring the noisy people around the square into silence.
"You can't cultivate immortality without passing the stone plate test. No matter how noisy you are here, it's useless. If you make more noise, don't blame me for being rude."
After Zhuzhu finished speaking, she tapped the thousand-year-old mahogany table in front of her with her finger. The table instantly turned into a pile of sawdust and fell on the square.
Everyone around was shocked by Zhuzhu's move, and they all took a big step back. They almost forgot that the woman in front of them was not an ordinary person, but a fairy with magical means. How could they let them be forced to do whatever they wanted.
If one of them doesn't get it right, they might end up like that table.
Those mortals who still wanted to entangle and force Zhuzhu to accept their children did not dare to say a word and took their children home honestly.
Zhuzhu took a closer look at the thirteen children with spiritual roots on the stage, and found that most of them were around eight or nine years old, with clear eyes. It was estimated that they were not crooked, or had not had time to grow crooked, so it would be easier to pass through Qili Pond. Some.
But most of their spiritual roots are too poor, and their path to cultivation may not be so smooth, or they may stay in the outer sect for a lifetime.
Zhuzhu decided to explain to them that after all, the world of immortality is much crueler than the secular world, and they have the right to choose to go or not.
…
…
After listening to what Zhuzhu said, those children who were still proud of their spiritual roots just now felt like a basin of cold water was poured down on them.
It turns out that there are good and bad qualifications for cultivating immortals. Most of them have poor spiritual roots and may not be able to go far in their cultivation.
After hearing the news, three children actually hesitated and chose not to go.
Two of them have five spiritual roots and one has four spiritual roots.
Zhuzhu respected their choice and not only gave the children's parents a bag of gold leaves as usual, but also taught them simple cultivation techniques such as the Qi Entrainment Technique.
Hearing that they could practice at home, two more children among the remaining ten people were moved and wanted to stay.
Regarding this situation, Zhuzhu still respects their choice, because their pursuit of truth is not strong, and even if they go to Tianyun Sect, they may not be able to pass the first test of walking on the mountain road, so it is better to leave them behind.
Zhuzhu still gave them simple exercises such as Golden Leaf and Qi Entraining Technique.
The other eight parents were given gold leaves and given a moment to say goodbye to their children.
Then he took out the spirit boat and threw it into the air, and left the place with the remaining eight children who were more determined to seek Taoism.
Watching the palm-sized wooden boat turn into a large boat that can seat a hundred people in the blink of an eye.
The mortals below once again exclaimed at Zhuzhu's magical skills, and spontaneously knelt on the ground to send Zhuzhu away.
Zhuzhu, who was standing on the deck of the spirit ship, saw this scene and shook her head helplessly. She even said that she was not a god, but they just didn't believe it.
