Chapter 61: Mind, Understanding, and Spiritual Root
Entering the cabin, everyone sat down.
Su Ming also briefly introduced himself to the two brothers, Lu Youcai and Lu Youwu.
"I've seen Su Daoyou."
Lu Youcai and Lu Youwu smiled and officially bowed to Su Ming.
Su Ming also hurriedly returned his hand to the other party.
Suddenly, the atmosphere among the people became much more relaxed.
"Listening to the tone of Shicai Su Daoyou, it seems that you don't know much about Yaoyuan Daoyou?"
Su Ming nodded: "I really don't know much about it, and I was about to ask the two Taoist friends for advice." ”
"Well said, well said."
Lu Youcai waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "In fact, the criteria for all Taoist academies in Lanzhou to screen and recruit monks are basically the same, and the cultivation is not more than the Qi cultivation period, and the age is not more than twenty years old. ”
"Oh?"
Su Ming's heart moved slightly, "The Daoist Academy still has an age requirement for monks?" ”
"Of course, there is an age requirement, in the final analysis, the Taoist Academy in Lanzhou is to screen disciples for the Xianxia Sect, and it will definitely not recruit those who are too old, and being old also means that the potential is low, even if it can be cultivated in the future, the cost is too great."
Hearing this, Su Ming nodded knowingly.
Indeed, even if they can participate in the assessment of the outer disciples of the Xianxia Sect in the future, they will not be able to rush to thirty?
If you are over 30 years old, even if you use Tsukidan to build a foundation, the success rate will not reach 100%.
Such a monk is something that the Xianxia Sect does not want to cultivate.
Seeing that Su Ming didn't speak, Lu Youwu sighed with emotion: "It's not a secret, when my two brothers were young, they also stayed in the Yaoyuan Daoist Academy for a while, but unfortunately they were persuaded to retire by the Daoist Academy halfway, and they didn't even have the opportunity to participate in the assessment of the disciples of the Xianxia Sect. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Youcai also shook his head again and again, as if he was extremely sorry for missing the opportunity when he was young.
"But Su Daoyou, your brother and sister are still young, and there are still great opportunities."
Lu Youcai said, changed his words, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Ming just smiled.
Immediately, he asked again: "Since the two Daoists have entered the Yaoyuan Dao Academy, I don't know what the requirements for this Dao Academy to screen disciples are?" ”
"This ...... Don't you know? ”
"I don't know,"
Su Ming shook his head, "It's not a secret, my brother and sister are from Lizhou. ”
"Lizhou?"
Lu Youcai and Lu Youwu glanced at each other, and they all saw a look of shock in each other's eyes.
"What Su Daoyou said is Lizhou, which is adjacent to the Great Yuan Kingdom?"
"In addition to this Lizhou, which Lizhou is there in my big Qian."
Su Ming smiled bitterly.
"Su Daoyou, don't blame, my two brothers are just too surprised, Lizhou is tens of thousands of miles away from us, if it is a detour, it will have to be more than 100,000 miles, and the two Daoyou have come all the way, it must be very difficult."
Lu Youwu sighed.
Seeing that Su Ming was silent, Lu Youwu continued, "Don't talk about this, since Su Daoyou has come to the Lanzhou realm, it is my Lanzhou monk." ”
As he spoke, Lu Youwu picked up the teacup on the table and said, "I will replace wine with tea and welcome Su Daoyou to our Xingluo Island." ”
Hearing this, Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai also hurriedly picked up the teacup.
The atmosphere among the people became more harmonious.
"By the way, just now Su Daoyou wanted to ask Yaoyuan Daoist Academy's screening criteria?"
"Exactly."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Youcai said slowly: "The screening criteria of Yaoyuan Daoist Academy are very simple, there are only three, which are heart, comprehension and spiritual root. ”
Sure enough, the spiritual root was indeed one of the assessment criteria for the Xianxia Sect to recruit disciples.
But what Su Ming didn't expect was that his heart and understanding were also among the assessment criteria.
"The spiritual root is the easiest,"
Lu Youcai said with a smile, "You can know the results by just probing it, in fact, what the Yaoyuan Daoist Academy really wants to assess its disciples is the two points of mind and understanding.
My two brothers were persuaded to retire by the Yaoyuan Daoist Academy because they didn't have enough understanding. ”
"Nature, understanding?"
Su Ming frowned.
"Hmm,"
Lu Youcai nodded, "Compared to the spiritual roots that can be directly explored, the Yaoyuan Dao Academy has prepared a lot of tests to test the hearts and comprehensions of the disciples in the Dao Academy.
The nature of the mind mainly includes the temperament, will, and even human qualities of the monk. ”
Su Ming nodded, he understood this very well.
If the Xianxia Sect only values qualifications and does not pay attention to the temperament, and all the disciples recruited are full of backbones in the back of their heads, wouldn't it cost a lot of resources to fund the enemy?
Or, the monk has excellent spiritual roots, but after cultivating, he fishes for three days and dries his nets for two days, and he doesn't work hard at all, no matter how good his talent is, it is a waste.
Immediately, Su Ming asked again: "What does that understanding mean?" ”
"Comprehension is even simpler, referring to the monk's ability to comprehend spells."
"Spell charms?"
Su Ming couldn't believe his ears, could it be that a big sect like the Xianxia Sect was also a sect that emphasized art but not law?
Seeing Su Ming's expression, Lu Youcai explained: "We don't quite understand why the Daoist Academy has to test our ability to comprehend spells and spells.
But listening to the rumors, it seems that it has something to do with the monk's promotion to the Jindan stage in the future to comprehend supernatural powers. ”
During the Qi cultivation period, the Xianxia Sect took into account the matter of the sect's disciples being promoted to the Jindan stage in the future.
I have to say that I really think long-term.
Su Ming always felt that he was thinking about things in the long run, but compared to this Xianxia faction, he felt that he was still far behind.
After such a careful calculation, Su Ming felt as if he did not have an advantage in any aspect.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked: "That monk with special talents, will the Xianxia Sect make another special move?" ”
"Of course!"
Lu Youwu said with a smile, "If you have the talent for alchemy, the Xianxia Sect will almost ignore all the assessment standards and directly put you into the door wall." ”
"Alchemy ......"
The expression on Su Ming's face moved slightly, "What about the refiner?" ”
"The Xianxia Party doesn't seem to value the refiner too much,"
Lu Youcai shook his head, "Su Daoyou, you also know that the magic weapons refined by the refiner are only second-order high-grade at most, and for the Xianxia Sect, the effect of second-order magic weapons is too low.
And when the monks reach the Jindan period, they will use their own natal magic weapons, and the effect of the magic weapons is almost none, so ......"
Lu Youwu, who was on the side, added: "What my brother said is not true, in our session, I heard that a second-order refiner was specially recruited into the Xianxia Sect.
By the way, there is also a formation mage, if Su Daoyou has a talent in formation, he will also be recruited by Xianxia Paite to enter the wall. ”
Hearing this, Su Ming finally had the most basic understanding of the Yaoyuan Daoist Academy.
Ordinary disciples can only be recruited by the Xianxia Sect through the three assessment criteria of heart, comprehension, and spiritual root.
Monks with special talents, such as alchemists, array mages, and refiners, may not pass the assessment and directly make special moves.
Of course, the Xianxia Party attaches less importance to refiners, and the number of special recruits is limited every year.
Unlike alchemists, as long as you are really talented in alchemy, you can receive as many Xianxia factions as you want.
After chatting about Yaoyuan Daoyuan, the two Lu Youcai brothers talked about Xingluo Island where they lived since childhood.
However, Su Ming lacked interest in Xingluo Island, because according to the two Lu Youcai brothers, this Xingluo Island was only an insignificant one among the many immortal islands in the Yaoyuan Water Realm.
Just because it is the closest to Yaojiang City, it is more lively and prosperous.
But because it is the closest to the mortal city, it is inevitable that it will be contaminated with a lot of worldly atmosphere, which is not conducive to the cultivation of monks.
Unlike Tianshu Island, where the Yaoyuan Daoist Academy is located, it is surrounded by tens of thousands of immortal islands of all sizes, and mortals are rare, there ...... It is the true paradise of cultivation.
