Volume 1 [Initial Cultivation] Chapter 1 is coming
Zhao Dong suddenly woke up from his sleep and sat up, looking at the distant scenery outside the window and not knowing what he was thinking.
I still remember that day, in Zhaojia Village, which is so remote that it can no longer be remote.
It's such an ordinary small mountain village that can't be more ordinary that a big event happened, and this is just the beginning of the story.
That is, the Xuanyuan faction, one of the three major sects of the Li Kingdom, came to them to recruit people who were qualified to cultivate immortals, and went to the sect to participate in the entrance assessment.
He also told the villagers that once they passed the assessment, they would become disciples of the sect and receive two taels of silver every month if they didn't do anything.
You must know that it is two taels of silver, which is completely enough for a family of three in the village to live a good life for a month.
Hearing this benefit, even the villagers wanted to participate in the assessment, but the Xuanyuan faction only accepted children under the age of fourteen and over the age of eight, not saying that those over the age of fourteen could not cultivate immortals.
When a person is conceived in the mother's body, there is a breath of qi, which is called congenital fetal qi or innate qi.
It will slowly dissipate from birth until about the age of fourteen, but cultivating immortals needs to slowly recover the innate qi in the body that has not yet dissipated, and all the requirements for age are so strict.
Although those over the age of fourteen can also cultivate immortals, they have no cultivation value because the innate qi in their bodies has been exhausted.
Cultivation beyond the age is not of much use, so it is impossible to be included in the sect, but there are exceptions to everything.
For example, some people who are extremely talented but have not been discovered because they are at the right age, or have a great opportunity or something like that.
As for the requirement to be over eight years old, the reason is that at this age or below, except for some demonic figures, the other meridians in the body during this period have not yet been solidified, and they cannot withstand the impact of cultivation.
Except for those who were born in a cultivation family or sect, they have been nourished by a large amount of resources since they were young, so that they can ensure that they will not forcibly cultivate and fall into demons or have their meridians broken.
The two carriages came towards the small mountain village of Zhaojia Village at a very fast speed, and there were only two young men in the carriage, and there was no one else.
These two carriages are not for their convenience, but for the convenience of bringing the children who meet the requirements back to the sect to participate in the assessment.
If the two of them were to walk with all their might, they would be much faster than the carriage, but who would want to be so tired if they could be comfortable.
"We are disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect, one of the three major immortal cultivation sects of the Li Kingdom, and we came to your village today to recruit disciples for the sect.
"If any of your children pass the assessment and join the sect, it can be said that they will ascend to heaven in one step, and you can also become a master because of them. A man dressed in a green robe stopped at the entrance of the village, stood up, and said to the villagers who ran over to see the excitement.
The green clothes on his body were not the kind of linen cloth of ordinary people, but looked like they were made of silk and satin.
In fact, the clothes on their bodies were not ordinary silk satin, but specially made by the sect, but these villagers could not see it, but it didn't matter.
The clothes of the two contrasted with the linen clothes on the villagers, and they were judged.
There was an air of superiority between the words and deeds of the two, which made the villagers a little dissatisfied with him, but they couldn't clear the situation and didn't dare to say anything.
"What kind of sect is the Xuanyuan faction? Why haven't you heard of it?" The villagers were skeptical of the man's words, as they had never heard of the sect and could not tell if what the man said was true.
The young man was a little angry that the villagers had not even heard of their own sect, and he felt that how could the children of these ignorant people have seedlings suitable for cultivating immortals? This is simply a waste of time.
If it weren't for the fact that the sect was now facing a shortage of talents, he wouldn't have come to this kind of poor countryside to recruit disciples for the sect, you must know that those people had stuffed their own children into the sect one by one.
Now the sect needs a strong enough disciple to take over the situation caused by the previous disciple, but no one can be 100% sure who can become a strong person, so it needs quantity to supplement the lack of quality.
Just as the young man was about to get angry, an old man who looked like half of his neck had been buried in the earth came from a distance, and the words of the old man made him feel the feeling of superiority again.
"Shangxian, if the villagers have offended Shangxian, I hope Shangxian will forgive you. The people in the village don't have much knowledge, and they don't know your identity, little old man, I'm here to compensate you on behalf of everyone. ”
This old man's words have reached this point, and this young man is naturally not good at pursuing these ignorant villagers anymore, which shows that he is too calculating.
"I didn't expect you, a little old man, to know us, and since you know it, then it will save me a lot of words. Another young man also stepped out of the carriage, dressed exactly like the guy he had just done.
"Little Lao'er, I was fortunate to meet Shangxian when I was young, so I have a little understanding of Shangxian's affairs, but I didn't expect Shangxian to come to our Zhaojia Village, this is really a great honor for our Zhaojia Village. The old man was respectful to the two of them, for fear of offending them both in some way.
The old man knew better than anyone else in the village how terrible the two of them were, and knew that if the two of them were angry, the village would be destroyed in an instant.
Suddenly two strangers came to the village, and they didn't seem to be ordinary people, so some clever villagers went to the village chief.
As for the village chief, that is, this old man, the old man went out to roam the rivers and lakes when he was young, so he saw much more than others, so he was elected as the village chief by the villagers.
When he heard the report from him that it was someone from the Xuanyuan faction, the old man didn't even have time to eat the meal he had just eaten a few bites, so he hurriedly ran over for fear of slacking off.
But fortunately, the two of them were very satisfied with the attitude of the village chief, which was also because the villagers did not do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise it might have been a different picture.
The Xuanyuan faction is an immortal cultivation sect, and it is one of the three major immortal cultivation sects in Li Kingdom, although it has declined a little now, it is still one of the three top forces in Li Kingdom.
The people who can join it will not be ordinary people in the future, but can become immortals in the eyes of ordinary people, even if they do not reach any advanced level, they are not something that ordinary people can deal with.
When he was young, the village chief had the privilege of seeing the immortal make a move, and the long sword in the hand of the immortal killed all the dozens of people around him who wanted to plot the items on his body with a single sweep, and all of them were fatal with one move.
If someone in the village can pass the assessment and join the Xuanyuan faction, it can be said that one person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven, and his parents are completely superior in the village.
The rest of the village may follow suit, and the village will get better and better, and may even develop into a town or a city.
At that time, the village will not be as backward as it is now, and even the affairs of Shangxian are only known to him, and he will have the face to face the ancestors and ancestors after he dies in the future.
Looking at the village chief Zhang Ping, who was imagining a bright future for the village, he was a little disdainful, and his eyes were no longer at the same level as the village chief.
His gaze was not on the mundane but on the cultivation realm, and when he learned everything about the cultivation realm, he had long been disdainful of the world of ordinary people.
These secular things are readily available to the powerhouses of the cultivation realm, and ordinary people are like ants to them.
"Two immortals, can you wait a day in our village so that I can take care of some trivial matters, so that those children can obediently follow your parents and leave" The village chief asked cautiously, after all, the initiative in this matter was not in his hands.
"In that case, let's stay here one more day. Zhang Ping said in the tone of a rich man giving alms to beggars, and he thought that he was willing to stay here to give them face and an honor.
"Thank you Shangxian, the boat is tired, presumably Shangxian must have worked hard, Xiao Lao'er will send someone to take Shangxian to rest now," the village chief ordered one to bring the two of them into his home, so that they could be entertained.
"You all go home and talk to your children, and let them all come to the village tomorrow to join the fairy and them to participate in the assessment. Tell them not to offend the immortals, otherwise there will be no one to protect them. The village chief said to the villagers after the two left.
There are some things that you can't say in front of others, and although they are not bad words, they can still make people unhappy to say them.
"Village Chief, what the hell is going on with those two people, why are you so respectful to them?" The other villagers didn't know some things about the cultivation realm like the village chief, and they felt strange about the village chief's respect for those two people.
The village chief told him what he knew about the cultivation realm, causing the other villagers to gasp.
But then there was excitement that if their children could pass that test, they might be able to become that kind of person.
This is more glorious than returning to their hometown after winning the top prize, how can this not make them excited? After all, they all think that their children are the best, and naturally they can easily pass the assessment.
This matter has naturally become the biggest topic in the village, and the children in the family are naturally happy if they meet the requirements.
As for the child who is too young or too big, he can only sigh bad luck, after all, this kind of thing depends on fate.
"I heard that they said that they accept disciples under the age of fourteen, our family Zhao Dong is thirteen years old, and he can just give it a try, maybe he will succeed. Mother looked at Zhao Dong and said, but his words were said to Zhao Dong's father.
"How can it be so easy to pass? But it's still okay to give it a try, whether it's successful or not, it's a good experience," Zhao's father said with some nonchalant care after taking a bite of food.
"Dong'er, what do you think? Say it to your mother. The mother asked Zhao Dong what he thought, after all, whether the child is willing to go is the most important thing.
"Mother, I want to participate. I want to give it a try, whether it works or not. Hearing Zhao Dong's words, his mother smiled, as if Zhao Dong had passed the assessment.
After eating, when his mother was handling the dishes and chopsticks, his father pulled Zhao Dong aside and said, "You must pay attention when you go out this time, and don't offend others." However, if others bully you, you must also know how to resist and not let others bully. ”
"Don't worry, Dad, I know all of this. Zhao Dong nodded and said.
After explaining something to Zhao Dong, his father asked Zhao Dong to go back to the house to rest, and prepared to leave the village tomorrow to participate in the assessment.
He didn't know if he would succeed in joining the Xuanyuan faction this time, but he would do his best to fight.
In the village chief's house, Li Fu and Zhang Ping were eating the food prepared for them by the village chief and talking.
"Senior brother, you said that the sect is really true, and it actually asked us to come so far to recruit disciples. Li Fu said with some complaints.
"It's not because other sects are recruiting disciples too much, and the sects that are engaged in recruiting disciples every year are not as good as before. ”
"Now that the sect is starting to lose its reputation again, the sect can only let us disciples come to this kind of small village where we don't know anything to recruit disciples. After all, those talented guys have already been brought back by those small sects. Zhang Ping knew a lot about this, and he clearly knew why they came to such a poor and remote place to recruit disciples.
"But I don't know if any of these people we recruited this time can pass the assessment?" Li Fu said with some sighs.
"I hope there is, but even if I pass the assessment and join the sect, how can I survive like that, I think we were at the beginning. Alas...... Don't talk about it. Zhang Ping didn't know what he thought of in the end.
