Chapter 578 Hope
"Desperate?"
"despair."
"How desperate?"
"There's no hope of success."
"Perhaps, Taiyi Sect said that recruiting Five Spirit Root disciples was just a gimmick, a gimmick to deceive us, give us a false hope, and then crush it with our own hands."
"I don't think Taiyi Sect would be so boring."
"How can I see it?"
"Because cultivating Taoism with the Five Spiritual Roots is inherently a desperate matter."
…
That was shown to the peripheral monks, but the scene that the Taiyi Sect monks saw was a different scene, but it was not much different from that.
The dolls whose spiritual roots have reached the standard are also standing at the foot of a mountain.
No matter who the Linggen is, they will be treated equally.
Perhaps this is unfair to children with better spiritual roots, because they have better talents and do not need to compete with peers who are not as qualified as themselves.
Many Jindan elders can observe both. It is obvious that they have no interest in the selection of the Five Spiritual Roots, and they all focus on the children who have outstanding talents in the test.
If you meet a child with good talent and perseverance, you might as well accept him as your disciple and pass on your legacy. Within the sect, they can be regarded as training disciples for the sect.
If you want to accept closed disciples, it has nothing to do with the sect's training. You can apply for external transfer to become the master of a local force. At that time, apart from the salary and salary, the sect will not provide other additional resources to them.
Taiyi Sect also does not have a few actual elders, most of them are worship elders. To put it bluntly, they do not practice Taiyi Sect's techniques. They are more like vassals of the power rather than the strength of the sect.
It’s still a matter of insufficient foundation.
Zhang De thought to himself: "Is this secret realm set up by the Supreme Elder too difficult? Without magic power, the baby will definitely not be able to climb far with just his thin body."
As he spoke, he pointed at many thin figures among them. Many of the children did not have enough to eat, let alone their bodies. It was not easy for them to survive.
"Senior Brother, please rest assured. The Sect Master and the Supreme Elder must have their own intentions." Qian Fei said in relief.
Over the past three years, he has become more and more calm.
Since returning from the East China Sea three years ago, he has learned a lot and changed his martial arts. Now his cultivation has indeed not changed much, but he has understood the realm of the law and has taken off the hat of a registered disciple.
After switching to Kung Fu and being guided by Taiyi Zhenjun, even a pig should be able to achieve something. Qian Fei's talent is not bad, but he was originally delayed in the small sect.
Speaking of Master's disciples, in addition to these two named senior brothers, there is also a junior brother, but that junior brother is only a dozen years younger than him, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are peers.
Qiu Wandao was still practicing and did not participate in this Immortal Ascension Conference. It is also because there is no need for so many people to come. It is enough to maintain order by building foundations and practicing qi, and the Golden Pill Grandmaster is in charge.
Because Taiyi Zhenjun attaches great importance to the first Immortal Ascension Conference, he came in person, and by the way, he dragged Tushanjun out of the Sutra Pavilion.
Taiyi Zhenjun was quite helpless. Last time he and Tu Shanjun mentioned the collection of books in the Sutra Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Tu Shanjun could actually read them. He did not show up for several months and was completely immersed in the Sutra Pavilion to study astronomy, geography, and deduction techniques. Magical powers.
Such a spirit of studying hard even shocked him.
"Junior brother, why don't you accept a few disciples to pass on the mantle." Taiyi Zhenjun shifted his gaze from the photo formation and looked sideways at Tu Shanjun beside him.
Zhou Xinglie is good, but unfortunately he is not bad at all.
His qualifications were not great, and he was too old. When Tushanjun accepted him as his disciple, Taiyi Zhenjun thought it was to appease the monks for him, but then he thought about other reasons.
Not a good choice anyway.
It's a pity that my junior brother has no successor to his profession. It just so happened that we saw a lot of good talents during this selection.
There are both Tianlinggen and Double Spiritual Roots to choose from.
Even if Tu Shanjun chose Wu Daoxian, he wouldn't be surprised and would readily agree. He had long accepted a disciple from Tianlinggen, Qiu Wandao, who was in his sixties.
After passing on the secret method to Qiu Wandao, the spiritual root problem has stabilized a lot. Qiu Wandao has been promoted from an inner disciple to a true disciple. He has gained more resources and has made rapid progress in cultivation. Perhaps he will be able to use his magic power within a few years. Accumulate well and reach the peak of foundation building.
Qiu Wandao still needs to continue the test. If he can't take on all the important tasks, it's better not to list him as an alternative. Over sixty years old, in the middle stage of foundation building, even the Tianling Root is not enough to be the Xuanzi of the sect.
Ordinary Tianling roots can transform Xiaobai into a late-stage foundation-building monk within at least ten years, and usually a golden elixir can be formed before the age of twenty-five.
Even if you are stuck for a few years in the later stages of foundation building, it can only be regarded as accumulated mana, and there is no big bottleneck to speak of. The only thing to be careful about is the Foundation Establishment Tribulation and the Golden Core Tribulation.
Most of the golden elixir tribulations are inner demon tribulations. Taiyi Sect’s inheritance concept method is enough to stabilize the state of mind, and it is not difficult to cope with the inner demon tribulation in the past.
Tu Shanjun's expression moved slightly, his lowered eyes raised, he glanced at the children with good qualifications, and suddenly laughed: "There are very few monks I have taught who have outstanding talents."
The only one who should be counted is Jinghong, who has the spiritual root of Yang Lei Tian. He established the foundation when he reached adulthood. He cultivated the golden elixir in less than ten years. He has double pupils. Needless to say, his talent and talent.
Taiyi Zhenjun persuaded him. With his understanding of Tao and research on cultivation, he was more than enough to teach the geniuses who had already completed the golden elixir. He could even help the monks in the early stage of Nascent Soul to plan. However, then his eyes dimmed, he was just a weapon spirit after all, and there was no mantle that needed to be passed on.
Is it this murderous magic skill, or is it the alchemy formation diagram?
He knows a lot, but he is not suitable to teach others. It makes little sense for him to serve as the elder of the sect.
As for inheritance.
"I have left a continuation of my bloodline in this world, and there is no need for other inheritance." Tu Shanjun murmured in his heart. He was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, it's okay to be an elder who teaches the skills."
Taiyi Zhenjun seemed to see something in Tushanjun's expression. He did not continue to persuade, but looked at the boys and girls who were climbing the mountain.
Wu Daoxian has a gloomy face and sharp eyes. Even though he is a ten-year-old baby, his whole person exudes a strong gloomy aura. He looked at the many people around him who were similar in age to him, and his expression didn't change much as he walked along the mountain road.
One of them, a girl with water and wood spiritual roots, looked like a beautiful woman at first sight. She stared at Wu Daoxian for a long time, but did not follow her. Instead, she turned around and smiled innocently: "Brother Yu, my name is Shui Lianqing." , let’s climb the mountain together.”
Shui Lianqing said as she stretched out her clean little hand as if she wanted to take Yu Long's hand.
Yu Long lowered his head and looked at his washed white hands. He learned that testing spiritual roots required touching things with his hands, so he washed himself clean in advance, for fear of being in the eyes of the immortal master.
No one cares about a little beggar.
He is a beggar, but his sister has him as her eldest brother to protect her from wind and rain.
Yu Long originally wanted to stretch out his hand, but wiped it vigorously on his body, and hid his hand behind his back: "I don't care about you, I want to enter the inner door, I..."
Yu Long looked at Shui Lianqing's splendid clothes, exquisite bun and the jade articles that appeared on her body from time to time, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and turned around and ran away.
"This guy's name is Yu Long. It's interesting." Qian Fei chuckled. It is difficult for a little boy of this age to resist the temptation of beauty.
"Shui Lianqing, I heard that she is the treasure of the Shui Lian family in Nanjiang. Nanjiang is really loyal to the sect."
"Shui Mu Shuang is very talented, but not as good as that one." A golden elixir priest pointed at the shadowy boy: "Wudaoxian, the Tianlinggen boy of the Northland Wu family."
"Hey, that's wrong. That kid is very gloomy. I'm afraid he has a bad personality. I think that one is that one." He pointed at a black charcoal head: "Yu Chili, with dual spiritual roots of earth and metal, it looks like He also has a body of thick earth. He is honest and honest. Although he is dark, what is the use of being so handsome."
"How about we make a bet, who can come out on top first? Who is in the top ten?"
"Then come."
"It's time to test your eyesight. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you lose later, don't refuse."
"..."
A group of golden elixir masters made bets in twos and threes.
This is a mountaineering trip, and no one knows what we will encounter on the way. They are definitely under the control of the Supreme Elder. It is absolutely impossible to judge who will win based only on spiritual talent.
They do know some inside information. The first forty or fifty of these two hundred children will enter the inner sect, and the rest will go to the outer sect to practice. If you want to enter the inner sect again, in addition to showing strong cultivation qualifications, you have to wait for the sect competition. .
"Junior brother, which child do you think will be the first to reach the top?" Taiyi Zhenjun was also a little curious.
"Wudaoxian."
Taiyi Zhenjun looked at Tushanjun in surprise. He thought Tushanjun would choose Yu Long. There were five people with dual spiritual roots, and Yu Long was the best performer so far.
The daughter of the Shuilian family is also quite scheming, but she lacks a bit of determination.
"The leader can think that I will choose Yu Long, and I really want to choose him. However, this formation relies on the Little Secret Realm and takes comprehensive talents into consideration. Not to mention the problem of spiritual roots, just talking about the heart of Taoism, Wu Daoxian will More determined than anyone here.”
"Yu Long's birth limited his knowledge, and he is a little behind in all aspects. But maybe he will lose this game now, and he may not continue to lose in the future." Tu Shanjun said lightly.
Genius is not scary, what is scary is that genius still has the will to follow the path, and the most important thing is that he also has strong perseverance. When combined, he will form a strong heart and slowly become a strong person.
There is already a good example, that is Qiu Wandao.
"Junior brother may know the formations and small secret realms very well, but I think children from big families are always a little arrogant, and this arrogance will make him encounter a lot of hardships."
"Yu Long's poor background just shows that he can only go up without the danger of falling to the bottom again."
"Since it is a comprehensive talent competition, I am more optimistic about Yu Long." Taiyi Zhenjun said.
"Why are you so sure, Senior Brother?"
Taiyi Zhenjun smiled mysteriously and pointed at his eyes and said, "The secret skill 'Qi Watching Technique', I can see the Qi on their bodies."
"The purple energy of Wu Daoxian is mixed with some black spots."
"Yu Long's red energy is as bright as the sun."
Hearing Zhenjun Taiyi's affirmation, Tushanjun couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he was really wrong?
Taiyi Zhenjun teased: "Junior brother, you must not use any means to help my brother in order to win."
Tu Shanjun helplessly spread his hands and said, "I'm not that bored. I just wonder if there is something wrong with Wu Daoxian."
"Senior Brother, can you tell with this qi-gazing technique?"
"Hard to say."
"What's the explanation?"
"It's like fortune-telling. It may work if you tell it, or it may make a situation that has changed become a foregone conclusion and difficult to change. Why not just wait and see, even if there is a real problem, it will be under our control."
