Chapter 45: Recruiting Disciples
Li Fei was taken aback, jumped up from the ground, and rushed towards Danding!
Playing several magic duels on the Dan furnace, Li Fei quickly closed the Dan furnace, and then another magic duel hit the Danding, and the Ding lid flew above the Danding again.
Li Fei nervously looked into the Danding, Cheng Dan was Cheng Dan, but for some reason, it was all blown into powder before it was out of Dan......
Although he didn't think that he would succeed once, Li Fei was still sad when he saw that most of his efforts for half a month had come to naught, and he couldn't hold on anymore, so he lay down on the ground and fell asleep......
I don't know how long it took, Li Fei woke up, glanced at the waste pill, and was not in the mood to clean it up for a while, washed up, stimulated the token, walked out of the Dan room, and decided to go outside to relax first.
In fact, most of the alchemists, few people can get through the alchemy stage for the first time, let alone reach the stage of becoming a pill, just from this point of view, Li Fei's performance is already quite good, but Li Fei doesn't know. Of course, because he is closer to success, the disappointment is even greater, and if he fails in the alchemy stage, Li Fei will not be so sad.
Walking out of the canyon, Li Fei saw the bright sunshine, breathed fresh air, and admired the green jungle in the distance, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Li Fei thought as he walked north: "Why did you fail at the last moment? From the beginning of the purification of the elixir, to the preparation before alchemy, and every step in the alchemy process, as well as the few days of Yun Dan, although I still have a lot to summarize and improve, but these flaws are not fatal, otherwise I would not have been able to take the last step, but why did I fail inexplicably?......
Unconsciously, Li Fei walked more than ten miles, and thought about it before and after, but in the end he found nothing, and could only blame it on accidental factors.
At this time, Li Fei came to the foot of a towering mountain, looked up, and found a beautiful waterfall on the mountainside.
But Li Fei is not an ordinary person after all, he just doesn't use mana, and in the time of a stick of incense, he climbed one or two hundred zhang and came to a waterfall dozens of zhang high.
Looking at the waterfall flowing down, listening to the deafening sound of the water, and watching the beautiful scenery around him, Li Fei felt a long-lost feeling arise spontaneously, recalling the life of the earth, as if it was right in front of him......
The scenery here is quite good, towering ancient trees can be seen everywhere, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, harmonious and full of vitality, but the aura is very ordinary, otherwise, it should be a good place to cultivate.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery for a while, Li Fei was about to continue climbing the mountain, and unexpectedly found that there were other Lingyun Sect disciples here.
Because the noise of the waterfall was very loud, the distance was very close, and Li Fei realized that he originally wanted to continue climbing, but was attracted by their conversation, and quickly converged his breath and hid behind a big tree.
"Senior brother, you said that some of the senior brothers who went to watch the competition between the two elders last time disappeared, and some became half fools, why no one knows why until now? A beautiful female cultivator in the middle stage of chemical weapons whispered to a male cultivator in the late stage of chemical weapons.
"I don't know, don't talk about us, even the uncles and uncles in the foundation building period don't know what the reason is, but the great elder said that it was just an accident, and there is no problem with the safety of the sect. "The male cultivator in the late stage of chemical martial arts replied casually.
"Senior brother, but I have recently heard rumors that it was not an accident, it was man-made......" the beautiful nun said in a further low voice.
"Senior sister, don't talk nonsense! Don't mention this topic again in the future, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!" The male cultivator in the late stage of chemical martial arts looked nervously left and right, reprimanded sternly, and then took the female cultivator's hand and left quickly.
After the figures of the two disciples disappeared into the woods, Li Fei sighed and continued to climb upward, and after a quarter of an hour, he was already standing at the top of the peak.
Because of hearing the conversation between the two Lingyun Sect disciples, Li Fei's mood of enjoying the scenery had been ruined, and he looked at the top of the mountain casually, and when he was about to go down, he unexpectedly saw the other side of the mountain, and many sect disciples returned from outside the sect with some mortal children or teenagers.
With a move in his heart, Li Fei decided to take a look, because this side belongs to the north gate of the sect, and the general situation is not open, and looking at the scene just now, it should be that the sect is recruiting disciples. Li Fei's sword flew over.
Soon after, Li Fei came to the north gate. The north gate is also built on the top of a big mountain, although it is still noon at this time, but it is still cloudy and mist, and the huge square in front of the north gate is crowded with people, and it is very lively.
Because there were too many people in the square, most of them were parents with their children, and some teenagers were doing activities together in groups of three or five, among which there were also scattered cultivators who acted alone, and a large number of Lingyun Sect disciples were busy shuttling through the sea of people, but it still seemed that there were not enough people.
In front of the north gate, thirty test benches were laid out. A separate open space has been marked out in the test bench area, lined up in orderly order, and in front of each test bench there is a huge display screen showing numbers that are slowly scrolling.
Li Fei entered the sect directly, but he didn't go through such a grand scene, and randomly chose to watch with interest on the edge of the fifteenth test bench in the middle.
At this time, the person who entered the test bench on the fifteenth was a chubby teenager, eleven or twelve years old, and there were seven or eight men in strong suits behind him cheering him on.
Li Fei thought it was very interesting, and thought to himself: "Can this test of cultivation qualification still increase the success rate by shouting...... However, the mood is completely understandable. ”
The fat boy blushed, his eyes did not squint, his hands clenched into fists, and he walked barefoot to a white test disc several feet in diameter in the middle of the test bench.
Li Fei noticed that there were dozens of fan-shaped areas engraved on the white test disk, each of which represented a different spiritual root attribute, and six concentric circles were also engraved on the white test disk, each of which represented the quality of the spiritual root, from the inner circle to the outer circle, which were not suitable for cultivation, low-level, intermediate, advanced, extremely high, and genius.
When the fat boy stood on the white test disk, a deacon of the Lingyun Sect in the early stage of foundation building played a trick, and the white test disk flashed with spiritual light, and finally froze in the area between "not suitable for cultivation" and "low-level", the earth attribute.
The deacon of the Lingyun Sect announced with a blank face, "Unqualified, next." ”
The fat boy almost fell to the ground when he heard the word "unqualified", and then he cried with a "wow" sound......
At this time, an old man in a blue robe walked up to the deacon quickly, took out a small bag, and said humbly to the deacon of the Lingyun Sect: "Immortal Elder, I originally intended to hand over fifty spirit stones, hoping to make my kid a trainee peripheral disciple. ”
The deacon of the Lingyun Sect didn't look at the blue-robed old man, he directly accepted the spirit stone, and instructed the disciples behind him: "Take this fat boy to the outer disciple area of the apprenticeship." ”
The blue-robed old man thanked him for his kindness and withdrew. The people around him didn't laugh, they were even very envious! Li Fei was shocked, and thought: "This is okay, I don't know if the spirit stone will be handed over or returned to this deacon in the end......
Then the next one has worse qualifications, and after the test, he leaves directly, and the third one has been the tenth, and no one has broken through the "low-level" line!
Li Fei looked at everyone's expressions, they were all calm, and only then did he realize how rare it was to have people who were suitable for cultivating true spiritual roots, and at the same time, he could understand the actions of the blue-robed old man.
On the fifteenth test platform, Li Fei kept looking at thirty testers, except for the first one who was reluctantly admitted, and the nineteenth one broke through the "low-level" line and was accepted as a peripheral disciple.
The family where the child was admitted was just because the child had become a peripheral disciple, and they danced happily as if they had won the jackpot! Everyone they knew also came to give them good news.
Li Fei sighed greatly, he didn't expect that there were so few people who were suitable for cultivating the truth!
After looking at dozens of people on several adjacent test benches, Li Fei found that the results were even worse, only a thin little boy appeared on the twentieth test platform, only seven or eight years old, just like the fat boy at the beginning, stopped on the "low-level" line, which belonged to the wood attribute, and because he had no ability to hand over spirit stones, he could only choose to leave.
The family was extremely depressed, and the child's mother even cried and begged the deacon of the Lingyun Sect who had tested it, but did not win a trace of sympathy.
Li Fei really couldn't stand it, so he walked over to the deacon and asked, "May I ask if it is a customary or temporary decision to pay fifty spirit stones to be accepted as a trainee outer disciple?"
"Elder, it's a common practice, and although it doesn't have an explicit rule, it's always been carried out like this. The deacon glanced at Li Fei with a little confusion, noticed the elder token on Li Fei's waist, and replied respectfully.
Li Fei nodded, took out fifty spirit stones, and said, "I helped this kid hand over these fifty spirit stones, so I'll accept him." ”
The deacon shook his head and said with a smile: "Elder, it's just accepted as a trainee outer disciple, as long as you agree, you don't need to hand over spirit stones." ”
Li Fei thought for a moment, shook his head, and said seriously: "I can't break the rules. ”
Seeing that Li Fei insisted, the deacon also accepted the spirit stone, and kindly reminded: "The elder may rarely see this situation, we recruit disciples here every day, there are really too many such things, and we can't help ...... enough."
Li Fei nodded, expressed his approval, and said in a joking tone: "Then I will see you more, until I can't stand it anymore, and I will flee back to the sect." ”
The couple took the little boy and knelt down to Li Fei, kowtowed, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Elder Immortal! We will worship Elder Immortal Elder for the rest of our lives to repay Elder Immortal Elder for his great kindness......
Li Fei sighed and said gently: "Get up, even if you are lucky, it is indeed the first time I have seen this situation, so I will help you, and when I see more, even if I want to help, I don't have the ability." The couple thanked him and left happily.
Li Fei casually asked the deacon, "How often does our Lingyun Sect recruit disciples?"
Although the deacon wondered that the elder didn't know anything, he still replied respectfully: "Once every five years, this time the enrollment is a little special, and it is only three years after the last one. ”
Li Fei could basically guess the reason why he was in advance, and continued to ask, "How many qualified disciples can be recruited at one time?"
The deacon replied: "Generally, it is good to be able to recruit dozens of intermediate qualifications or above, disciples with advanced qualifications and above can only try their luck, as for disciples with low-level qualifications, it is useless to recruit more." ”
Li Fei thanked him, left the No. 20 test bench, and continued to watch on other test benches. Just when Li Fei was bored, a strong exclamation suddenly erupted from the No. 3 test stand......
