Chapter 342: Hongwu Hall
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely become a core disciple within a year!" Liu Tianhong said with a solemn face.
According to the previous standards, Liu Tianhong would not have been able to meet the requirements within a year.
Not to mention the core disciples, even the inner disciples are impossible.
Because the previous standard was based on the first realm of the ground level.
Before the age of twenty, you can become an inner disciple when you reach the first realm of the earth level, and then you will be assigned to the four major temples.
Before the age of sixteen, you can become a core disciple and join the Hall of Gods and Demons.
But now, Gu Chen only gave Liu Tianhong one year, and it was impossible for him to cross two levels in a row and become a ground-level cultivator within a year.
However, this time the rules have changed, because half a year ago, the Pantheistic Sect had recruited nearly 7,000 new disciples, which was far more than usual.
In order to allow these disciples to grow more rapidly and join the various departments of the Pantheon Sect, Gu Chen decided to take it for a year.
When the time comes, only look at the progress of the disciples in one year, lower the threshold of cultivation, and no longer limit it to the ground level.
Therefore, as long as you pass the assessment at that time, you can become an inner disciple or even a core disciple if you have not reached the first realm of the earth level.
As for those who do not pass the examination, those who are over the age of 18 will be assigned to the three major rudders.
Those who are not over eighteen years old will continue to cultivate in the outer gate, as long as they break through to the first realm of the earth level at the age of twenty, they are still qualified to become inner disciples, and as for the core disciples, don't think about it.
If you can't break through to the first realm of the earth level at the age of twenty, then you can only go to the rudder, and at that time, it will be even more difficult for the rudder disciple to become an inner disciple.
Now that half a year has passed since the entry of new disciples, and the first assessment is half a year later, Liu Tianhong can't catch up.
However, a year later, Gu Chen gave him a special exception and let him conduct a separate assessment.
......
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The outer gate of the Pantheistic Church, Hongwu Hall.
Hongwu Hall is located in the center of Hongwu Square, which is a gathering place for outer disciples.
The person in charge is the outer gate elders: Liang Qiu and Hong Zhen.
The elders of the outer gate are responsible for teaching the way of cultivation to the people and explaining some of the more advanced martial arts.
In addition, there are eighteen outer deacons, whose duty is to supervise the practice of the disciples and teach them how to behave in the world.
However, because there were too many new disciples this time, it was inevitable that the two elders of the outer gate and the eighteen deacons of the outer gate would be a little too busy.
In total, each person is responsible for more than 300 disciples.
Therefore, the Temple of Gods and Demons will take turns to send an elder to take charge.
......
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the outer disciples had just finished their day's cultivation, and it was already time for free activities.
Most people will take a look at the excitement in Hongwu Square, because at this time, some of the inner disciples of the four major temples will compete in the ring in Hongwu Square and show their skills.
Therefore, this is a great opportunity for outer disciples to observe.
When Gu Chen took Liu Tianhong to Hongwu Square, it immediately caused a great commotion.
"Wow, look, it's the Sect Master!"
"Hey, who's that kid following the sect leader?
"Look, they're going to Hongwu Hall! How could the sect leader come to Hongwu Hall?"
"Let's go, let's go and have a look, maybe the sect leader is here to select excellent disciples and add the God and Demon Palace, and if he is selected, he will be developed!"
"Don't dream, the first batch of disciples of the God and Demon Hall were selected as early as when they started, and those are all talented people who can be seen at a glance, let's honestly wait for the assessment in half a year!"
"Less nonsense, if you don't go, if you don't go, I'll go!"
"Go, of course go, it's good to see the excitement, I'm also curious why the sect leader is coming to Hongwutang, do you think it will have something to do with the kid behind him?"
"Could it be that kid is from the Gu family? does the sect leader want him to enter the outer gate to cultivate?"
......
With Gu Chen's arrival, a group of outer disciples followed him back to Hongwu Hall.
Such a big movement naturally couldn't escape the attention of the elders of the outer gate and the elders of the God and Demon Hall who were sitting here.
I saw three old men hurriedly come out, and the old man led by him was the elder of the God and Demon Palace, Chen Qiong, and it was his turn to come to the outer gate today.
Although today is Wen Xinliu's wedding, the wedding banquet has ended at this time, so Chen Qiong has also returned to his post.
On the left of Chen Qiong is the elder of the outer gate, Hong Zhen, and on the right is Liang Qiu.
"See the sect leader!, I don't know what the sect leader has to say when he comes to Hongwu Hall?" Chen Qiong and the three of them hurriedly saluted Gu Chen, and then asked.
"The three elders are exempt!" Gu Chen waved his hand, and then shouted behind him: "Liu Tianhong, come here!"
"Sect Master!" Liu Tianhong stepped forward to bow.
The reason why he didn't call Master was because of Gu Chen's orders.
If the outer disciples knew that Liu Tianhong was Gu Chen's disciple, then they couldn't scold him vigorously?
At that time, there will definitely be people who will be indispensable, which will affect Liu Tianhong's temperament and delay his cultivation.
Therefore, Gu Chen asked Liu Tianhong not to expose his relationship with him.
Although the high-ranking members of the Pantheon Sect knew some inside information, they would not talk nonsense until Gu Chen publicly announced Liu Tianhong's identity.
"You will be cultivating in Hongwu Hall in the future, do you understand?" Gu Chen said lightly to Liu Tianhong.
"Yes, Sect Master!" Liu Tianhong bowed and bowed.
"Elder Hong, Elder Liang, this kid will be handed over to you, there is no need for special treatment, just like other disciples, just treat them equally!" Gu Chen said to Hong Zhen and Liang Qiu.
Liang Qiu and Hong Zhen were still a little dazed, they didn't understand where Liu Tianhong came from, and it was worthy of the sect leader to personally bring Hongwutang, but since the sect leader had ordered, they naturally didn't dare to refuse, so they arched their hands and said: "My subordinates take orders!"
Gu Chen didn't explain much after speaking, he nodded at Chen Qiong, then turned around and left, and the outer disciples who were watching hurriedly got out of the way.
After Gu Chen walked away, Liang Qiu and Hong Zhen both looked at Chen Qiong, because they vaguely felt that Chen Qiong seemed to know something.
Liang Qiu asked Chen Qiong in a low voice, "Elder Chen, where did this young man come from?"
Hong Zhen also came over.
Chen Qiong stroked his beard and smiled: "How can the old man know? You don't know, I don't know! But since the sect leader has ordered, you can just do it, just treat him as an ordinary outer disciple!"
Liang Qiu and Hong Zhen didn't believe it at all, but Chen Qiong refused to say it, and they couldn't help it.
Although they are both elders, are the elders of the outer gate comparable to the elders of the Temple of Gods and Demons?
However, since Liu Tianhong has become an outer disciple, can Liang Qiu and Hong Zhen still find out the secret on him?
I saw that Hong Zhen asked Liu Tianhong with a smile on his face, "What's your name?"
Liu Tianhong was a little speechless for a moment, didn't this old man ask knowingly? Master was calling my name just now, but he couldn't hear it?
However, thinking of the master's instructions, Liu Tianhong had no choice but to bow to the three of them and say, "Disciple Liu Tianhong, I have seen three elders!"
"Liu Tianhong, good name!" Hong Zhen couldn't help nodding again and again, and then said to Liu Tianhong: "The old man's surname is Hong, you can call me Elder Hong in the future! This is the Elder of the Divine and Demon Palace, Elder Chen! Elder Chen is a super master of the Third Realm of the Heavenly Order, he only came to our Hongwu Hall to preach today, and he is usually responsible for the core disciples, so ah, when you listen to the elders of the Divine and Demon Hall in the future, you must cheer up your spirits! Because that is the treatment that only core disciples have!"
Hearing this, Liu Tianhong looked at Chen Qiong curiously, the third realm of the Heavenly Order? Isn't that the same realm as the master? It seems that this old man should have real materials!
At the same time that Liu Tianhong was looking at Chen Qiong, Chen Qiong was also looking at him.
Although Liu Tianhong looked at him a little rudely, Chen Qiong didn't care, and nodded again and again, showing a hint of a smile.
Chen Qiong praised in his heart: "This son is really extraordinary, his roots are strange, and his foundation is also very solid, it seems that the sect leader has no less thoughts! If this son is cultivated by a good student, he will become a great weapon in the future!"
Hong Zhen continued to point at Liang Qiu and said to Liu Tianhong: "This is Elder Liang, Elder Liang, like the old man, is the Outer Sect Elder who is in charge of your outer disciples, in the future, if you encounter any problems in your cultivation, you can come directly to us for advice!"
In fact, this is Hong Zhen opening a small stove to Liu Tianhong, after all, the cultivation of outer disciples is generally responsible for the deacons of the outer sect, if all the disciples come to ask the elders if they have something, then they must not be exhausted to death.
Although Liu Tianhong's identity is still unclear, Hong Zhen also knows that Liu Tianhong must have a great background.
"Thank you Elder Hong, Elder Liang!" Liu Tianhong hurriedly bowed, although he was not deeply involved in the world, it was obvious that you could feel Hong Zhen's care.
"No need to be polite!" Hong Zhen waved his hand and continued: "Since you have joined the Hongwu Hall, then the old man must first see what your foundation is, you are now in the Qi Cultivation Realm, and you think you have already practiced a martial art, right?"
"Not bad!" Liu Tianhong nodded in response.
"I don't know what the exercise is, can you demonstrate it?" Hong Zhen continued.
After a moment of hesitation, Liu Tianhong said hesitantly: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to ...... here."
Hong Zhen suddenly frowned slightly, why is this kid so ignorant, what is there to hide in your broken exercises, and it is not convenient?
"Okay, don't ask, he cultivates the 'Divine Summoning Technique'!" At this time, Chen Qiong waved his hand and said.
"What...... What?" Hong Zhen and Liang Qiu's eyes widened suddenly, and their expressions were incredulous.
This is only qualified to cultivate by inner disciples and above!
This kid learned it before he even started?
Hong Zhen and Liang Qiu glanced at each other, and then asked Liu Tianhong again, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
"After practicing for a month, Zhujiquan has become smaller. Liu Tianhong nodded and replied.
This made Hong Zhen and Liang Qiu even more shocked, Zhuji Fist was improved by the sect leader through the "Eight Extremes Fist", and it was the most suitable martial art for new disciples to cultivate.
Tsukijiquan can develop the maximum potential of a person's body.
If you can cultivate to a small level and make a breakthrough again, your future cultivation path will definitely be much smoother.
Therefore, most of the new disciples were required to be allowed to break through to the Qi Cultivation Realm only after the foundation building fist was completed.
As for the disciples who had already reached the Qi Cultivation Realm before joining the Pantheon Sect, there was no way, but they could also strengthen their bodies by cultivating the Foundation Fist.
Upon hearing that Liu Tianhong had only spent a month cultivating the foundation building fist to a small level, Hong Zhen and Liang Qiu couldn't help but be surprised.
Because, among today's outer disciples, it took two months to cultivate the foundation building fist to reach the Xiaocheng realm at the earliest.
Now, that man has been condemned by the Temple of Gods and Demons.
And Liu Tianhong only took a month?
What kind of talent is that?
"Don't be verbose, since you already know his foundation, let's quickly arrange a place for this kid to live, it's not too early!" At this time, Chen Qiong said to Hong Zhen.
"Oh, yes, yes!" Hong Zhen nodded repeatedly.
Hong Zhen and Liang Qiu exchanged words in a whisper, and then said to Liu Tianhong: "Since this is the case, then you will live in Room 7 in Tianzi District in the future, there are already three disciples living in Room 7 in Tianzi District now, you are the fourth, I will let someone take you over later, you get to know the three roommates today." ”
