Chapter 6: Baby Yin
The Shark Gate is the only sect of immortal cultivation on Shark Island, with about 1,000 disciples and more than 3,000 miscellaneous servants, as for why there are so many miscellaneous servants, because cultivators are also human beings and need someone to serve them, and the main thing of cultivators is to cultivate the truth, and the miscellaneous things are naturally handed over to the miscellaneous servants.
The Shark Sect recruits disciples every three years, and due to limited resources, the total number of disciples accepted each time is less than a hundred. And this time, the recruitment of disciples was more than a year earlier than before, and it came very suddenly, and the reason for this was the invasion of another world. On the occasion of this catastrophe, the cultivators had sensed the crisis, so they were ready to recruit a large number of disciples in advance to deal with the catastrophe.
The first day of September in the 1017th year of the World Tribulation was a good day for the Shark Gate to decide to recruit apprentices.
Ink Shark City is a city not far from the Shark Gate, and many of the daily items of the Shark Gate are purchased in this city, so the Ink Shark City is very prosperous, with a permanent population of more than 200,000 in the city, many of whom are the families of the disciples of the Shark Gate, and there are also some wealthy businessmen.
And today, the Shark Gate accepted disciples, and there were a lot more people in the city than usual, most of these people accompanied their children to participate in the test, and they brought their teenage children to the reception point of the Shark Gate in the Ink Shark City.
Xiaosha Village is a small village not far from Ink Shark City, Xiao Tian got up early, found a more pleasing clothes to put on, finished breakfast, and Wang Xiaohu, under the leadership of Wang Tian, went to the place where the Shark Gate recruited people.
When they arrived at the ground, there were already many people waiting here at this moment, and they were gathered in twos and threes to discuss miscellaneous matters.
In the crowd, there was a clear dividing line from the rest of the place, where a noble lady led a young man of about thirteen years old, followed by four guards, and two small priests waited. There was no one else within two meters of them, and most people passing by walked around.
The boy's name is Dong Yuanju, a rich and powerful son of the Dong family in Ink Shark City. His father is the eldest of the Dong family and the head of the family, and he is very famous in the city. And Dong Yuanju has been smart since he was a child, looks dignified, and has a heart of cultivating truth and Taoism.
An immortal master once said that Dong Yuanju has good qualifications and is expected to become an immortal, so he is very confident in the immortal test. It can be said that Dong Yuanju is the most promising person to enter the Shark Gate in this test, not one of them.
While everyone was discussing, Xiao Tian occasionally heard about Dong Yuanju's deeds, compared to him, I don't know what his situation was? Xiao Qi was held in his arms, there were too many people here, and it was inconvenient for him to run around alone.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was finally movement, and a boy came out of the gate of the reception point and announced to everyone: "Anyone who takes the test, wait in line!"
As the sound fell, a part of the crowd split up and began to line up in front of the boy. Irrelevant people and others were dispersed to give up the site for the testers to queue up. Dong Yuanju, as the most promising person to get started, naturally ranked first, and no one dared to rob him just by virtue of his power.
To participate in the entrance test, the Xianmen requirement is 12 to 18 years old, and the people in line are all in this age range. Xiao Tian hugged Xiao Qi, and Wang Xiaohu joined the queue together.
"The first ten of you, follow me in, and the rest wait here. The boy commanded, and the ten children in the front line followed him into the lobby.
The interior of the lobby is relatively spacious, estimated to accommodate hundreds of people, and it will not seem crowded. There is a table directly above the center of the lobby with a strange stone on it. They were followed by two young men in their twenties, very fairy-like, sitting on two chairs.
The person sitting on the left, named Tang Qing, is from the Crazy Shark Gate Refining Hall, and his current strength is in the Great Perfection of Qi Training, as long as the opportunity comes, he can build a foundation. The person on the right, named Bai Hongyi, is from the Alchemy Hall, and his strength is also the Great Perfection of the Qi Training Period. The two of them are in charge of the collection of apprentices in Ink Shark City.
"Two senior brothers, people have been brought. ”
The boy respectfully said to the two people sitting in the chair. This boy has not been in the house for a long time, and he does not dare to have too much disrespect for the two senior brothers who are about to build the foundation.
"Well, okay, I hope I can receive a few potential disciples this time!"
Bai Hongyi said in an old-fashioned manner, and then looked at Dong Yuanju, he still knew about the person who was the most promising person to join the Shark Gate. Because the people of the Dong family once invited Bai Hongyi and the others to a banquet and gave some gifts.
"Dong Yuanju, you are the most popular candidate for this apprenticeship, so you should start first. Come and put your hand on the stone and feel it with your heart. ”
Bai Hongyi said to Dong Yuanju, and pointed to the stone on the table.
Only those who have spiritual roots can sense the spiritual energy and then cultivate through the exercises. This stone can test the degree of compatibility between the spiritual root and the aura, the better the spiritual root, the more aura is sensed, and the brighter the stone. On the contrary, the weaker it is, the more ineffective it is for those who have no spiritual roots.
"Yes, Immortal Master!"
Dong Yuanju replied in response, faintly excited in his heart, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Then, according to the immortal master's words, he put his right hand on the stone and sensed it with his heart.
After a few seconds, the stone shimmered, getting brighter and brighter, and finally it was bright enough to stay there.
"Medium qualifications, good! Very good, Jin Dan is hopeful! I didn't expect us to meet us, and we will definitely get a lot of rewards when we go back." ”
Bai Hongyi saw the bright light emitted from the stone and shouted happily. Tang Qing next to him was also happy when he saw this result, but he was not as excited as Bai Hongyi, but he was in peace.
"Very well, you can take your hand back. Tang Qing said calmly.
"Immortal Master, have I passed the test?"
Dong Yuanju withdrew his right hand as he said and asked softly. In fact, when I heard Bai Hongyi's applause just now, I had already guessed that I had passed, but I just wanted to ask for further confirmation.
"Yes, you passed, congratulations on becoming a disciple of this sect. ”
Hearing the affirmative answer, Dong Yuanju said happily: "Thank you, thank you two immortal masters!"
"Hehe, no need, you can go back first, just come back tomorrow to report, and then we will take all the new disciples back to the mountain. ”
Tang Qing replied that there were thousands of people who participated in the test today, and it would take a long time to complete the test of all of them. After the test is completed, those who successfully join the Shark Gate can take advantage of this time to say goodbye to their families.
"Yes, then I'll go back first. After Dong Yuanju finished speaking, he retired.
As the news of the first tester joining the Shark Gate came out, the parents who accompanied the test also hoped that their children would be selected, and kept praying to heaven in their hearts, and the other children who participated in the test were no different.
After the first test, Bai Hongyi wrote Dong Yuanju's name on the prepared paper with a brush, and there was a note on the back: medium qualification.
"Next, you, come and test. In Bai Hongyi's record, Tang Qing said to a child.
The children waiting behind had already been prepared, and when they heard the call, they immediately went forward. Then, follow the instructions and touch your hand on the test stone to telepathize with your heart. Thirty seconds passed, and the stone didn't light up...... A minute passed, and there was still no movement from the stone, which made one of his hearts hang.
"No spirit root, unqualified, you can go back!" Bai Hongyi said flatly.
Sure enough, the child thought to himself, and then withdrew his palm in disappointment, tears rolling faintly in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. I wanted to ask to try again, but in front of the immortal master, he didn't have that much courage, for fear of angering the immortal master and causing some bad consequences.
