On the vast sea, a treasure ship rode the wind and waves and sailed from the direction of the distant country of Aqili.

At the request of Li Zhen, Tong Li recruited a group of school-age children in China, most of whom were from ordinary families who were eager to enter the immortal gate or have a relationship with the immortal master.

There is no need to worry about coercion or other unspeakable things, because for the vast majority of mortals, worshipping in the Immortal Gate is an opportunity to change their fate, and if they want to board this ship, they may not have a chance, if it is not for Li Zhen to designate a certain percentage of various families, it is really not their turn.

In their opinion, even if their children worship in the immortal gate and become a miscellaneous servant, it is much better than fighting in the mortal world.

If there is a Qi refining cultivator, or even a foundation building immortal master, it will really be the ancestral tomb with green smoke, and the family can also follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven and worship the prime minister.

"This time I went to Jixiang Sect because the Xianmen opened the mountain to accept disciples, you have to behave well and fight for opportunities for your respective families......

Some precocious teenagers, recalling the advice of their parents and relatives when they were still in the family, couldn't help but secretly clench their fists and vowed to get ahead.

There are also young children who are ignorant and cry in the cabin: "I want to go home......"

"The age of Jixiang Sect's apprentices is limited to six to twelve years old, and it no longer accepts loose cultivation in the rivers and lakes at all, almost all the people who meet the conditions in the country want to send their own children, and they are all dreaming of ascending to the sky in one step, producing an immortal master or something, and taking care of their own ...... in the future."

On the deck, two grown men stood at the bow of the ship looking at the sea scenery and whispered.

One of these two men is Tong Li, and the other is Prince Tong Lan, one of the great nobles in China, who is also a member of the royal family, and is also the person who is responsible for collecting children and transporting them here this time.

Tong Li said: "They had a good dream, after the Xianmen apprenticeship?" Is it to cut off the edge of the dust? Isolated from the world, this is to enhance the strength of the Immortal Gate? And not to let the disciples spread out in the world. ”

Tong Lan said: "Yes? Those people are still too naïve after all, there are elders in the sect? If there is a suzerain, if he does not have a certain position of power? How can we take care of our family? Or like our Tong family? Only by directly climbing the relationship with Sect Master Li can he enjoy the national glory for a long time, and then continue him for another three to five hundred years. ”

"Huh, so it seems? I'm still a blessing in disguise. Tong Li laughed at himself.

"Isn't that? If you hadn't provoked Sect Master Li by mistake, you might have had today's errand. Tong Lan glanced at him, "Having said that, this time our Tong family also took the opportunity to select more than 30 children to enter, and there was no cover on the roster?" Will something go wrong?"

When it came to this matter, Tong Lan was still a little worried.

Because they, too, are selfish? I want to take the opportunity to stuff people in the Jixiang Sect.

"As long as one of them can become a talent and successfully enter the inner door? That's a tenfold hundredfold return.

Although we keep saying that the fairy gate wants to cut off the fate of the earth and cut off the cause and effect? But this blood relationship? Can you still get a lot of benefits in exchange? At least the Tong family's princely status in the Aqili Kingdom can be guaranteed.

I just don't know if we think that we are too selfish, but there is a lot of rejection. ”

Tong Li said: "It shouldn't be, because according to the difficulties of cultivating immortals, the vast majority of mortals have no qualifications at all, and of course the more people are sent to the election, the better."

Most of our children are also destined to become miscellaneous servants of the sect, and a person like Sect Master Li does not have such a plan in his eyes. ”

Tong Lan said: "Then I can rest assured, most of them are the second sons and young sons in the family, and even my children have been sent in, so they will be regarded as dying, if he is successful, he will care about it again." ”

Tong Li smiled and said, "Actually, our Tong family still has an advantage, because I am a Qi refining cultivator, and I have my own way to cross the sea to visit relatives here.

As long as you keep in touch once a year, you can be a little closer than ordinary people, if there are other families who stand out, also look for opportunities to make friends, those families in the country with different hearts, just to make wedding dresses for us. ”

Tong Lan also laughed and said: "It's also true, in a foreign country, the sect cultivates immortals, how can there be room for family fate, in the future, what they will value is only the friendship of the same family, the relationship within the sect, and only those who can visit us have the opportunity to keep in touch and continue to be related by blood." ”

Then he said: "Having said that, you are also a cultivator, you should know some rules of the Immortal Gate, what is it like for them to accept new disciples?"

"Climb the mountain!" Tong Li said without thinking, "I'm familiar with this, Xianmen accepts apprentices, isn't it just climbing the mountain!"

Tong Lan was blinded: "Xianmen...... Are you trying to bluff me?"

Tong Li glanced at the mortal prince with disdain: "Third uncle, although you are my uncle and you are older than me, but when it comes to this knowledge, hehe...... You really don't know anything. ”

Tong Lan was really unconvinced: "Then you said to hear it, what is the connection between this immortal gate opening a mountain and accepting apprentices, and climbing the mountain?"

Tong Li said: "Of course there is a connection, climbing the mountain is to climb the height, and only by climbing can you look far, right, this means that the people of the fairy mountain climb the mountain and ascend to the immortal, and from now on, no matter how extraordinary they are!"

Tong Lan froze.

Tong Li said: "The people on the mountain are immortals, this does not need to be repeated, what I said about climbing the mountain is not to wait for people to be afraid along the stone path of the mountain gate, but to try to form, prohibit, and impose heavy tests."

It's like a beautiful woman with money, fame and fortune, but if you hesitate a little, you will fall ......"

Tong Lan stiffened, but she always felt that something was wrong: "I said that these young children are still children, and they don't understand anything." ”

Tong Li glanced at him: "Haven't you heard of catching Zhou, a one-year-old child, grabbing official seals, toys, paper and pencils, how can you understand the moral behind these things? ”

Tong Lan said: "Okay, you have more knowledge than me, what you say is what you are." ”

Tong Li smiled proudly: "That's ...... Besides, this mountain climbing also needs to be strong, right, but anyone who has a dark disease and is far weaker than his peers have been eliminated, so this mountain climbing seems simple, but in fact it contains a complex truth that tests the spiritual will and physique, and it is really a must for immortal cultivators to open the mountain and accept apprentices. ”

As he spoke, the distant island was getting closer and closer.

"It's finally here, so many days of ocean without encountering storms and sea beasts, thanks to the reliable shipping lanes. Tong Li looked into the distance and stopped chatting with his uncle.

An hour later, the treasure ship docked, and the stewards of the Dengsenin Temple of the Jixiang Sect gathered here, leading the miscellaneous servants and deacons attached to them to greet them.

The officials of the Aqi Li Kingdom connected with the other party, and Tong Li soon met his acquaintance, Xin Dayuan, who had made and sold counterfeits together before.

"Xin Daoyou, don't come unharmed, your complexion looks getting better and better. ”

"Tong Daoyou smiled, I am now serving as a steward elder in Tiangong Academy, and I just eat a mouthful. Xin Dayuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It was only at this time that he figured out what he had missed by stealing and playing tricks back then.

Min Lian, who is also a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, is now a powerful elder in the sect, and she is a real high-level, but she is not even mixed with the head of the Tiangong Academy, at best, she only has the title of a steward elder, presiding over the workshop of refining the incense of the herbs.

However, compared to others, this is also a rare fat difference, and in recent years, there have been more and more apprentices and miscellaneous servants, and the skill of refining spiritual incense has gradually become mature.

He no longer has to work all day like he used to, and he is much more relaxed.

In this way, he gradually accepted the fact that he joined the Jixiang Sect, and even sought to fight within this system.

He saw himself thoroughly, and he had no hope of building a foundation, and because of his past treachery and tricks, he was put aside and left out in the cold.

But after all, he still relies on his talent to be able to fight, and his qualifications are old enough, he is an elder steward who has a famous position before the establishment of the sect, a steward who is connected with the Chamber of Commerce, and even Min Lian, who has now become a high-level person, has a little friendship.

Even the workshop for refining the incense of the herbs was created by his efforts.

With this merit and hard work alone, it is completely enough for him to eat and wait for death in this sect, if he raises children again, he is also called the founder of the sect, and the sect master is the descendant.

Xin Dayuan realized it, so he thought a little about it, and came to make friends with his old friends in the past, and prepared for his life and death.

The Jixiang Sect had its own Fang City, and soon after, they held a banquet in the largest restaurant in the town, enjoying the rare spiritual feast of the mortal realm.

Xin Dayuan's income is not low, and he is tired of enjoying the things of Bigu Dan and the like every day, and invites old friends to drink the local specialty passion spirit brew and several kinds of spiritual material-level spices, which makes Tong Li and others exclaim that the world is delicious.

Speaking of the entry assessment, Xin Dayuan was stunned, but then he burst out laughing.

"How can the entrance assessment of the Jixiang Sect be so troublesome, it's just a simple literacy hyphenation, where there is a foundation thrown into the large class, and those who do not have a foundation are in the small class, each granting knowledge, teaching rules, and then transferred to the sect school after a year.

Then there is a small test every month, a big test every year, the results are recorded, the level is judged, and when the conditions are met, they are sent to participate in the entrance test and become a disciple of the outer court.

It wasn't until then that the real Dharma was handed down, and it began to draw qi into the body and refine and refine qi, but it would have been seven or eight years to say the least. ”

"This, you have to be fifteen or sixteen years old to enter the outer gate?" Tong Lan couldn't help but smack her tongue.

"Of course, the reason why young children are recruited is because of the high plasticity and the ability to cultivate a sense of belonging to the sect.

This sect accepts apprentices, always the more the merrier, no matter what good materials and beautiful qualities you have, elm heads, they all have their own education methods, and where to go in the future, if you can grant apprentices to labor background, or Xiangfang technicians, it can be regarded as having a skill. ”

"What, did you come here to learn the skills of that side door, refining incense and making incense?"

"Said that the cultivated immortal asked, what about the otherworldly. ”

Tong Li and Tong Lan couldn't help but be stunned, if they were fellow villagers on the earth, they would probably have the feeling of being confused that they would have to go to the technical school next door to learn art and have to go to the workshop for internship.

"This, this immortal sect accepts disciples, isn't it supposed to be like this?"

Tong Li couldn't help but worry deeply about the future of those young children.

"Then what do you think it should be?" Xin Dayuan glanced at him strangely, a little inexplicable.

"The other immortal sects accept disciples, not to choose the best, most of them have become miscellaneous servants in the sect. ”

"That's right, if you can learn a few skills and become an apprentice or technician, you won't necessarily be worse than the miscellaneous servants in the sect. Tong Lan said a fair word, "Even if you really want to return to your hometown, then you will return from overseas, you are all from the Xianmen, who cares if you are a miscellaneous servant in the sect or a formal disciple." ”

"However, other sects ......" Tong Li didn't know if he had drunk too much or was speechless for a while, but he was speechless, and his face was red.

"You said that it is another sect, and different sects have their own rules, which is not unusual. Xin Dayuan said.

What they don't know is that this is Li Zhen copying some of the systems of his previous life.

What he advocates is the teaching and educating method of the academy system, rather than the master-apprentice transmission of classical immortal cultivation.

In fact, there are also sects in the immortal cultivation world that have begun to reform and adopt a similar system, but due to historical traditions, they have not been able to embark on a new path.

The master and apprentice will inevitably pass on the Lingfeng, and it will inevitably be born from the nepotism, and they will be taught and received privately.

Even the academy system can't be exempted from the learning valve, if the master and apprentice pass it on, the rise and fall of the disciple is all in the hands of the teacher, and it is bound to be set up with the personal dependency relationship of the feudal era, revolving around his own spiritual peak, not the sect.

Li Zhen himself has a deep understanding that he was born in the Xuanxin country, belongs to Xuanxin Peak, and the ancestor also married the nine princesses to him, which can be regarded as a grace like a mountain.

But none of this has anything to do with Tianyun Sect, if one day, the ancestor says that he wants to betray Tianyun Sect and wants him to support it, he has to follow the concept of this era and support it unconditionally.

But now, he himself is the sect master, and he is the one who wants to govern the peaks and courtyards from top to bottom.

In order to unify the power of the sect and facilitate the inheritance and development of incense, this top-level design is also well-intentioned.

Xin Dayuan, Tong Li and others are not not lacking in wisdom, but in terms of insight and consideration, it is naturally impossible to reach the depth of Li Zhen, and there is no need to reach it.

After all, this kind of thing is not in their place, they don't seek politics, and they just ignore the past with emotion.

However, it was only after this conversation that Tong Li, Tong Lan and others confirmed that the Jixiang Sect really had no mountain climbing tests, and there was no sect competition.

There are only monthly exams, annual exams, credits, and craft ......

Success also depends on probability, on the quality of teaching, and does not consider any genius and mediocrity at all.

Only those who have complete spiritual roots, have established the qualifications for cultivating immortals, and meet the credit requirements, and have a certain amount of incense Dao background will be awarded the Heavenly Incense Method, as well as the resources of the incense incense, and truly embark on the path of cultivation.
