Chapter 3 Outer Door Assessment
"Yes. Sikong Yun said in agreement.
He himself was promoted from the outer gate, and there are many familiar people in the outer gate, in addition to the acquaintances who have been in contact with the sect with responsibilities, including some elders who have helped him a lot before, and many of the senior brothers who have not entered the inner gate of the same generation have also served as elders in the outer gate or have been transferred to other places to hold positions.
Sikong Yun knew that Chang Ruoyuan didn't have any storage magic weapons on his body now, so he sacrificed two long swords as a means of transportation, and the two of them flew towards the outer door.
Among the true disciples of the entire sect, Chang Ruoyuan is the most economical, except for the resources necessary for each retreat, Chang Ruoyuan has never taken the initiative to receive other resources, and even the natal magic weapon of the Linghu Realm has not yet been created. Some necessary and not scarce materials for true disciples to be outside can be reimbursed by the sect, Chang Ruoyuan has not been out of the customs for a few days a year, and he can't use too many resources, the retreat is mainly in the Dao of Perception, even the spirit stone can't cost much.
Chang Ruoyuan's retreat is mainly based on the analysis of the avenue in reincarnation, and the methods of practicing the sect's alchemy and refining tools are all made of the most basic materials, and the practice of swordsmanship and sword techniques is also replaced by a few branches.
Therefore, Chang Ruoyuan did not need a magic weapon to defend himself when he was in retreat, nor did he need a formation to prevent outsiders from disturbing him. For so many years, Chang Ruoyuan had never used the elixir to improve his cultivation, and the fake pill realm was all cultivated step by step by himself. Therefore, Chang Ruoyuan still does not have a special magic weapon, and even the Qiankun bag for storage does not have many elixir spirit stones, and all the family resources are stored in Chang Wuyi's hands.
As long as Chang Ruoyuan officially assumes the responsibility of a true disciple, all resources will return to his hands.
Sikong Yun also knew that Chang Ruoyuan was in an embarrassing situation, so he deliberately took out two flying swords.
The outer gate of the Qingshen Sect is on the periphery of the Qingshen Sect, there is no special planning for each peak, and all the outer disciples are treated uniformly, and they are the same every month, and after completing the tasks of the sect, they can exchange contribution points for resources outside the Qingshen Sect.
The only difference is that they listen to different elders in different directions, and different Taoist halls have elders who specialize in preaching and solving doubts about the practice of swordsmanship, swordsmanship, and Taoism.
The outer door assessment includes many aspects, as long as there is one aspect of the elixir, refining weapon, talisman array or combat power, as long as it reaches the qualified line, it can continue to maintain the identity of the outer disciple, and there is a specialization in the study, and it is always impossible to let the alchemist of the family take the furnace ding to fight with the person who practices the sword in the ring. On the contrary, if the disciple fails the assessment, he will be deprived of the qualification of the outer disciple, and he will either become a miscellaneous servant and retain the identity of the Qingshen Sect and do some trivial chores, or he will leave the mountain gate and will not be allowed to claim to be a disciple of the Qingshen Sect.
Disciples who perform well in various assessments can obtain the preparatory qualifications for inner disciples, and as long as they complete the corresponding trials, they can be promoted to inner disciples, obtain higher authority, and also get more resources, and the family power to which they belong will also rise with their own promotion.
In some families affiliated with the Qingshen Sect, the local power depends on the identity of the children of the clan in the Qingshen Sect, if a family has an inner disciple, unless other families also have an inner disciple in order to have the same voice in the local area.
"The Dan Weapon Rune Array can't be disturbed, it's all in the secret room to complete the assessment, let's come and see the monk's cultivation assessment." Sikong Yun suggested.
Both of them are experts in using swords, and it doesn't take much time to get from the Taixu Peak Imperial Sword to the outer gate, and the two sword lights can't see the figure when they cross the air.
"There are a lot of talents in the outer gate, but I don't know how many disciples will enter my Taixu Peak this year. Chang Ruoyuan said. Every outer disciple has the right to choose when he enters the inner gate, and he can refuse the arrangement within the sect to choose the spiritual peak he wants to go to, at this time, it is not the disciples who choose the disciples but the disciples who choose the various veins. Of course, if there are really rare good seedlings, the matter of the masters of each vein peak robbing people is not unheard of in the history of the Qingshen Sect.
It's just that the high-level leaders of the peak master level have a lot of opportunities, and only when the disciples have a vision can they be alarmed.
"Here we are. Hey, it was actually Elder Bai who presided over the assessment. Seeing an acquaintance in the position of the examiner from a distance, Sikong Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"I've seen two sons. ”
Seeing two sword lights coming from the direction of the Taixu Main Peak, both of them were the clothes of the true disciples of the Taixu Peak, and the chief examiner Bai Daoyuan could know the origin of the comer without thinking too much.
"Sikong Yun, why do you have time to come?" Bai Daoyuan said in surprise when he saw the face of the comer clearly. There are many disciples in the outer sect, and Sikong Yun happens to be the disciple he brought out, and he is also the most optimistic disciple at the beginning.
True disciples are the mainstay of the sect in the future, not only are they busy with their cultivation, but they also have to deal with more important affairs than other disciples. After Sikong Yun was promoted to a core disciple, he had less time to get together with his former acquaintances when he returned to the outer gate, and he was busy when he came back to the outer gate occasionally. Especially when it came to the critical period of retreat and breaking through the Jindan, Sikong Yun was preparing to deal with the three tribulations of the Jindan.
"We have just finished the assessment, so we came out with Senior Brother Chang to have a look. Senior Brother Chang, this is Elder Bai of the Outer Gate, and he is also the chief examiner of this assessment. Sikong Yun said, introducing each other to the two of them.
"I've seen Chang Gongzi. Bai Dao bowed far away, "I don't know if I want to prepare something."
The authority of the true disciples of the Qingshen Sect is the same level as that of the outer sect elders, but in terms of status, they still faintly surpass the outer sect elders, and the cultivation is even more incomparable to the ordinary outer sect elders, even the inner sect elders have to give face to the true sect disciples.
"My junior brother and I also happened to have time to come over and have a look, and after a while, we will go back again to prepare for a breakthrough in Jindan, and the elder will continue to arrange when we are not there. Sikong Yun replied.
Chang Ruoyuan also nodded slightly and replied, "Elder Bai is polite, let's just come out and hang around, it's enough to prepare two chairs for us." ”
Bai Daoyuan summoned the handyman on the side to put two seats in the best position, and I couldn't withdraw for the time being because I was in charge of the various matters of the assessment, so I immediately returned to the same place to continue the assessment.
"Although the outer gate is mixed, it is still in order. Chang Ruoyuan said, this is his first feeling, in addition to many disciples, there are more other people who come to join in the fun.
Sikong Yun said: "Senior Brother Chang doesn't go out and move around, these are common in the sect. ”
For a large sect, if you don't maintain good order in the big scenes, you can't maintain the daily operation, but Chang Ruoyuan has never seen these scenes and lacks common sense in this aspect.
Although the disciples waiting for the assessment in the audience were not affected in any way, seeing the attitude of the chief examiner could still make up all kinds of causes and consequences. In the eyes of ordinary disciples, Elder Bai Daoyuan is the highest level that can be contacted, and now there is a figure that makes the "idols" have to be respectful, so how can the disciples not be surprised.
"Who are those two, and how can they make Elder Bai so respectful?"
"Don't you see that costume? That's a true disciple. ”
"That seems to be Senior Brother Sikong, I've seen his portrait before. ”
"That's right, it's Senior Brother Sikong, my cousin knows him and has seen him before!"
"Edgeworth flying, what a cool spell. ”
The presence of Chang Ruoyuan and Sikong Yun attracted the attention of everyone present, and many disciples with eyesight recognized that this was the true disciple of the sect, and their eyes flashed with golden light.
The outer disciples have usually seen the inner disciples at most, and the higher level is also the inner door elders. Although the identity of the true disciple is not as good as that of the elders of the inner sect on the surface, it is closer to everyone's age, which is more likely to cause idolatry, and after the true disciples, they basically enter the elder hall of the main peak and become the main force of the sect.
The ultimate goal of all disciples is to pass on the truth, and even if they know that they can't do it, they still have a dream of true transmission. In the past, at most, I would look at the portrait or the elder's dictation, but now that I finally saw a living true disciple, how could I not be excited.
Seeing the crowd suddenly active below, Chang Ruoyuan frowned slightly, this was the first time he had shown his face in front of so many people, and he was a little uncomfortable. The occasion where I have been in retreat all the year round and has seen the most people is only an exchange meeting of true disciples, and at that time, it was only a discussion of the Tao, and the number of people was not large.
"I didn't expect my senior brother to be so popular in the outer gate. Chang Ruoyuan said, most of the discussion in the audience was focused on Sikong Yun.
"Maybe I was too flamboyant. Sikong Yun was a little embarrassed to face so many people's discussions.
At that time, Sikong Yun was one of the most outstanding among the many elites of the outer sect, and he was in the limelight, and he was even more popular among his disciples. A disciple who was demoted to a miscellaneous servant relied on his own efforts to break through the realm that had not been touched for many years, and regained the identity of the outer disciple in a short period of time.
In the eyes of the outer disciples, Sikong Yun has too many legendary colors. Compared with the geniuses who are in the limelight at the beginning, Sikong Yun is even more worshiped by a group of disciples who are from mediocre backgrounds and unwilling to be at the moment.
Instructed the disciple who was in charge of the miscellaneous items on the side to fetch a folding fan, Chang Ruoyuan made a handsome boy and covered his expression with a folding fan and whispered: "It's the first time I've seen so many people, and it used to be exchanges between true traditions, but now that there are so many juniors and disciples, I really can't stand it." ”
Sikong Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed. He had participated in this kind of external assessment many times before, although there was a blank period in the middle, but he was more or less used to it, but he didn't expect the feelings of this junior brother who lived in a simple place.
"It's good to do this, it shows that the junior brother has more need to go out to the mountains to practice, and it's good to go to see so much of the world. Sikong Yundao felt that he needed to remind monks that they should not always be in retreat, but always have to go out to see the world.
Chang Ruoyuan nodded, covered half of his face with a folding fan, and sat down quietly to continue watching the assessment.
