Chapter 3 The Election Conference
"After a while, according to the order of southeast, south, north, west, and northwest, the candidates of each town will stand in front of the pillar in front of them for five breaths, and if you are told to stop, you will stop, and if you are not told to stop, you can go, and the town guards will keep the names of the people in the book, do not omit them, and the violators will be severely punished. The young man said, pointing to the two stone pillars in front of him.
After speaking, the young man walked up to the middle-aged man and bent down slightly and said, "Master, do you think it is feasible to say this?"
"Let's start!" the middle-aged man didn't say anything, but motioned to another young man, only to notice that the young man's right shoulder was embroidered with eight drops of cyan water, while the person who had just spoken only had five drops on his right shoulder.
"Let's go!" The young man stood expressionlessly on the left side of the stone pillar.
Subsequently, the children of Donghua Town slowly walked to the stone pillar in the center of the stage in an organized line and began the selection.
After a child walked to the stone pillar in front of him and stood for five breaths, the stone pillar did not change, and then, another child stood up, still unchanged, and then one child after another began to select.
"Dad, you said that we can choose how many disciples we can choose this time? If we can't choose one, don't let Senior Sister Luo die of laughter. The plain girl playfully asked her father who was sitting in the chair.
"Senior sister, don't talk nonsense, didn't the master say that there are very good seedlings among this batch of disciples?" said the blue-clothed young man.
"Hong'er, what's the hurry! Just now, my father observed a little, it is estimated that there are more than a dozen people, don't worry about not being able to choose, no matter where you go to learn more from your third senior brother, see how calm he is. "The middle-aged man's name is Zhong Yunhai, he is a monk in the middle of the foundation of the Qingquan Sect, he is very good at metal magical powers, there are dozens of disciples sitting down, among them there are ten proud disciples, the third senior brother he said is named Jin Guang, he is an eight-layer monk who practices qi, and he is also a metallic supernatural power, and the deep Zhong Yunhai is heavy, and another blue-clothed disciple is named Huang Yansong, a five-layer monk who practices qi, has magical powers of earth attributes, and defends against metamorphosis, it is said that there is a sixth-layer disciple who practices qi to bombard his loess shield, and even the bombardment has not been blasted twice, which shows that its defense is powerful, and this plain-clothed girl is named Zhong Lianhong, who is Zhong Yunhai's youngest daughter。 Water and gold double spiritual roots, the potential for cultivating immortals is huge. Zhong Yunhai has seven children, only three of the children have spiritual roots, and the remaining four children without spiritual roots were sent back to the family to live a mortal life, and this little daughter is the most loved by Zhong Yunhai, because there is no danger in going out to choose an apprentice this time, so Zhong Yunhai brought out a long insight.
"Look, there's not one anymore. Zhong Yunhai raised his head. I saw a child from Donghua Town standing in front of the stone pillar, which slowly turned cyan from the lower xiangshang. Stopped two-thirds of the way.
"Wow, the Wood Spirit Root attribute is sixty-three points, it's the best! Zhong Lianhong said with a smile.
The wood spirit root mentioned in Zhong Lianhong's mouth is a kind of five element spirit root, and there are five element spirit roots of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the cultivation realm, and three mutated spirit roots of wind, ice, and thunder. Among them, fire and wood generate wind, water and earth generate ice, wind and water generate thunder, wind and ice are all generated from the Five Elements Spirit Root, and the Thunder Spirit Root is generated from the Wind Spirit Root and the Water Spirit Root. Therefore, among the mutated spirit roots, the number of thunder spirit roots is the rarest, and thunder is the nemesis of yin things. Among these kinds of spiritual roots, one attribute is called a single spiritual root, two attributes are called double spiritual roots, followed by three spiritual roots, four spiritual roots, and five elements spiritual roots, and a person will never have more than five spiritual roots, and people with mutated spiritual roots will never have other spiritual roots, each attribute has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The spiritual root is single, it is good to choose exercises, the progress of cultivation is fast, and it is simple to break through the realm. However, when encountering a monk with restrained attributes, it is inevitable that he will suffer a loss in the fighting method, and the multi-attribute spiritual root can only choose the exercise method with one dominant spiritual root, and the multi-attribute cultivation will be slow, and it will be difficult to break through the realm, but it can be advantageous in the fighting method. Here, the cultivation of the Five Elements Spiritual Root is the slowest, and it is the most difficult to break through the realm. If anyone is the Five Elements Spiritual Root attribute, then he is generally not favored, because cultivators also have an age, the Qi cultivation period is no more than a hundred years old, and the foundation building is only three hundred years old. If the foundation cannot be built in a hundred years, then the dust will return to the dust, and you will not be able to escape the catastrophe of fate.
"Oh, father, another one. Zhong Lianhong said.
"Don't be surprised, having a spiritual root doesn't mean anything, it's just a qualification, and there are still a lot of tests waiting to enter my Qingquan Sect. Zhong Yunhai frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with his daughter's startled expression.
Seeing his father's expression, Zhong Lianhong stopped talking.
The test Zhong Yunhai said refers to the one-month test conducted by the Qingquan Sect on qualified candidates, and if you can't pass this test, even if you have good qualifications, the Qingquan Sect will not accept you.
Because there is a saying in the cultivation world: having the spiritual root qualification is only the representative cultivator has the qualification to cultivate the truth, and it does not mean that the cultivator can be smooth sailing in the next cultivation journey, on the contrary, the cultivated person's acquired efforts, opportunities, and luck are more important, so when a small number of sects select disciples, they will conduct a test before entering the school, so as to observe the character, courage, patience, perseverance, and wisdom of these disciples. Temperament and other conditions, only after passing such a test can you become an ordinary disciple and be accepted by the sect.
If you fail to pass the entrance test, you will be rejected by the sect, and to explain it in the unified statement of the cultivation realm, that is: I would rather let you live, grow old, sick and die among mortals than let you and your family be on the road to cultivation, and Qingquan Sect is such a sect.
That's why Zhong Yunhai has the above statement, because he knows that the cultivation realm is more cruel than the mortal realm, once it falls, it will basically be a catastrophe, and the struggle for territory, resources, and various heavenly and earthly treasures in the cultivation realm is staged every day, and all kinds of demons and monsters will appear at any time on the way to your cultivation, and many unknown catastrophes will come from time to time, so to speak, although Xiuzhen is beautiful, it is from the perspective of mortals.
In fact, most cultivators will slowly enter reincarnation like mortals with the passage of time, and more are unable to die well, never enter reincarnation, just like him, looking at the appearance of thirty or forty years old, in fact, he is nearly one hundred and fifty years old, and he has had several great opportunities to advance to the middle stage of foundation building, and has experienced several catastrophes of nine deaths and a lifetime, and has come to the present with difficulty.
Looking at the children up and down in front of him, Zhong Yunhai seemed to return to the scene when he participated in the selection.
Unconsciously, the children of Donghua Town had finished the process, and a total of five children remained with the sixty-three point child of Mu Linggen, some of their parents hid their faces and cried, and they were in a mess; some directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sky like garlic, thanking their ancestors for their blessings; and some straightened their waists, smiling, and shaking their hands to thank their relatives and friends for their congratulations.
"Next, West Town, begin. Jin Guang said expressionlessly.
One child after another, the test began up and down.
Suddenly, when a child stood in front of the pillar, the stone pillar slowly rose from top to bottom a stream of white gas, Jin Guang's expression changed slightly, Zhong Yunhai also turned slightly sideways, staring at the stone pillar, the white mist slowly rose, it had passed sixty points, it was still rising, and finally stopped at sixty-nine o'clock, the corner of Jin Guang's eyes glanced at Zhong Yunhai slightly, and saw Zhong Yunhai's expression changed slightly, and his fist clenched unconsciously, this child's spiritual root qualification is five points higher than him, maybe he will surpass him in the future, Jin Guang has a sense of crisis in his heart, fortunately, he is still just a child, and when he reaches his current level, I don't know if it is the year of the monkey, Thinking of this, the clenched fist slowly stretched out, and everything returned to the same as before.
Zhong Lianhong turned her head in surprise and wanted to say something, seeing her father's thoughtful expression, she endured it and didn't say anything after all. And Huang Yansong looked at everything in front of him with a wooden expression.
As time slowly passed, the middle stone pillar was black, red, blue, and yellow, and even when a child stood up, the stone pillar showed white, black, and blue, and slowly the end of Xicheng Town, and the end of Nanshi Town, a total of twelve children stayed, looking at the different expressions of their parents, the people around them were envious, jealous, and hateful.
