Su Rui was helpless, and when he saw that he had fallen asleep again, he stopped calling. I first went to the mountain gate to participate in the selection of disciples.

The Phaseless Sword Sect is very powerful around Fallen Leaf City. Therefore, every triennial opening of the mountain is very lively. Not only the miscellaneous disciples in the sect, but even some family members will come to participate.

There are also many factions within the sect, some of which study martial arts, some of which are of the sword and spells, and even those of the formation. On the day of accepting disciples, a simple recruitment office will be set up outside the mountain gate to assess the disciples who come to sign up.

When Su Rui arrived outside the mountain gate, there were already many disciples who had participated in the assessment in line. There are many ways to be assessed, and each faction has different criteria. But there is one thing, each person can only choose to participate in one category of assessment, and if you fail once, you will lose the opportunity.

Looking at the crowd in line, Su Rui was also hesitant, what kind of assessment should he participate in to pass. After more than a year in the sect, I have some understanding of those factions.

Kendo and spells, pay more attention to the disciple's comprehension and comprehension ability. I have been a miscellaneous disciple for more than a year, and I can't even comprehend the most basic qi induction technique, so I obviously don't have much hope.

Martial arts, but the main is the outer door exercises, and the physical talent of the disciples is more valued. Su Rui looked at his thin and thin body, and ...... sad!

In the end, there is only the formation path left, and the requirements for this category are relatively special, only looking at the disciple's talent and comprehension ability of the formation, the requirements for the dao and the body are not high.

Su Rui thought for a while, and then lined up at the assessment office of the formation road. There are not many disciples in the formation path assessment, and there are few of the several categories. However, the speed of the assessment is very slow, and it takes a long time for each disciple.

From morning to sunset, the other types of assessments were over, and it was Su Rui's turn. The disciple who was assessed said, "Report your name!"

"Su Rui. ”

"Age?"

"Eight years old!"

"Alright, you put these little sticks together into a plum blossom array for me to see. ”

Su Rui was stunned, isn't this little wooden stick exactly what Cheng Ling used to play yesterday, but what is that plum blossom array, he can't do it.

After thinking for a long time, he planned to use a wooden stick to make a pattern of a plum blossom, and maybe he could fool the past. Just as he was about to start, a voice came: "Hey! It's you, what about Cheng Ling? Could it be that he has passed the assessment?"

Su Rui looked up and saw that it was the slightly sloppy old man from yesterday. He replied, "Cheng Ling didn't come!"

"No, doesn't he want to become an official disciple? Or did he join another faction? No, his formation talent is so high, how can he let other factions snatch it away, you take me to the place where he lives, and the old man will go to see him in person. ”

"But I still have to take the test!"

"It's okay, the assessment can be later, recruit Cheng Ling's kid first, take me there!"

Su Rui had no choice but to take the old man to the dormitory.

As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Cheng Ling still lying on the bed and sleeping.

The old man hurriedly stepped forward to wake him up, and asked, "Cheng Ling, which faction have you joined as an official disciple?"

Cheng Ling was in a daze, and when he suddenly asked like this, he couldn't turn around, and said blankly: "Grandpa, are you coming to me to play games again?"

"Didn't you join any factions?" asked the old man.

"Nope. ”

"Okay, don't go to any assessments, come directly to my array, and I'll take you as an apprentice!"

Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment, you take me as an apprentice? It's more than enough to be my teacher at your age, but why should I be apprenticed, what can you teach me? And what kind of thing is that array, how does it sound like a violent organization.

He asked, "Grandpa, what is this array?"

"The Array is not a thing, ahh The array hall is an organization established by the disciples of the sect who participate in the formation path, and is also responsible for arranging the formation for the sect and the family. ”

"Oh, I see, but I don't know how to form a formation!"

"Although you don't understand, the old man sees that your comprehension of the Dao is very high, and your future achievements will definitely be limitless!"

"So what's the benefit of me joining?"

"Uh!" The old man froze for a moment, and glanced at Cheng Ling, he really hadn't seen such a miscellaneous disciple, and some people had taken the initiative to accept apprentices, so he had to ask about the benefits first?

However, he was very talented in watching Cheng Ling use a wooden stick to change the formation before, and he was indeed a good seedling, if he could really be accepted as a disciple, he would inherit his mantle in the future.

Cultivation pays attention to the fate, and if the apprentice wants to apprentice to the master, the master must also choose the apprentice. Cultivators attach great importance to their own inheritance, and if they do not have children, they must choose disciples to inherit the mantle. But how can a good disciple be so easy to meet, and for hundreds of millions of years, how many disciples can surpass the master?

Cheng Ling is still young, and it is the best time to cultivate. In the eyes of the old man, the patterns placed yesterday are the expression of extremely high talent in formation. He has cultivated all his life, and there are not many years left in Shouyuan, and now when he sees Cheng Ling, he is happy to see the hunting, and he wants to pass on the mantle!

He said: "If you worship the old man as a teacher, you can inherit the old man's formation, and in the future, you will integrate it, carry it forward, and become a number of formation masters, and your identity and status can be superior." ”

"Then if you apprentice, can you be considered an official disciple of the Phaseless Sword Sect?"

"That's natural, the old man licks the first seat of the array, and the disciples he accepts even if they are the elders of the sect have to give a few thin noodles!" the old man said proudly.

When Cheng Ling heard this, he became energetic. The status and status have improved, and even the elders of the sect have given face, isn't this the level of a professor, and it will be easier to eat and wait for death in the future. And he can become an official disciple, and his vow is half completed.

He thought about it, and asked cautiously: "So many benefits, then what do I have to pay?" He is not an eight-year-old child, he has long understood that there is no free lunch in the world, and since there are benefits, there must be something to pay.

The old man was almost puzzled by his question, what can you pay as a child? If it weren't for your talent, and the old man didn't have a disciple inheritance, he wouldn't have rushed to collect you, you must know that in this Wuxiang Sword Sect, even the sect master has to give some face.

However, seeing that Cheng Ling's two little eyes were really smart, he also said patiently: "You don't need to pay anything, as long as you worship the old man as a teacher, and make some contributions to the sect in the future." ”

Cheng Ling's heart moved, isn't this just a blank check, what does it mean to be within your power? Well, this question is not difficult, try this old man again!

He glanced at Su Rui and said, "Grandpa, his name is Su Rui, he is my best friend, his heart to the Tao is very strong, his drive is also full, he is a good comrade." Since you want to accept apprentices, just buy one and get one free, and collect both together!"

Su Rui had been quietly watching the two of them talk, and he was extremely envious in his heart. Now, hearing that Cheng Ling actually asked the old man to accept him as an apprentice, he trembled with excitement and hurriedly cast his eyes with prayer.

The old man was stunned by Cheng Ling's fresh vocabulary, he groaned a little, and said: "His talent is not enough, I can't accept him, but I can make him a formal disciple, and he will study in the formation hall in the future, whether he can achieve something depends on his creation." ”

It seems that this old man is still really called a beast, he is not the kind of person who plays tricks, and he is also very strict in accepting apprentices, looking at the way he speaks, his status seems to be very high, and it should be beneficial to follow him.

He was still thinking about the gains and losses here, but Su Rui was so happy that he knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you seniors, the disciple must study hard, and he will never dare to live up to your kindness." ”

The old man nodded slightly, just staring at Cheng Ling tightly.

When Cheng Ling saw it, he also followed Su Rui's example, knelt down and kowtowed, "Disciple to meet the master!"

"Okay, okay, good boy, get up quickly!"

The old man was very happy, helped him up, looked at the dormitory again, and said, "Since you are already disciples of my Array Hall, then don't live in the area of miscellaneous disciples anymore, clean up and go to the Array Hall with the old man!"

The two children nodded hurriedly, they didn't have many things, packed a few clothes, and left with the old man!

Miscellaneous disciple area, at the foot of the mountain of the Wuxiang Sword Sect. The old man led the two of them all the way up the mountain, and walked for more than an hour before they came to the platform of a mountain peak.

Cheng Ling looked around and saw that the platform was very large, the size of several football fields. Several villa-like attics were built on the platform, and many disciples came and went on the platform and talked about it, which was very lively.

The old man handed Su Rui a token and said, "Su Rui, you take the old man's token and go to the attic over there to find the elder steward, they will naturally understand, you should study here first, and if you have any questions, you can ask the teachers and brothers." ”

Su Rui hurriedly took it gratefully, and kowtowed to the old man to thank him!

The old man waved his hand and said to Cheng Ling: "Ling'er, you come with the old man." ”

Cheng Ling continued to follow the old man towards the mountain.

After walking up for another half hour, the two came to the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, there is a platform again, and there is a simple Taoist temple built on the side of the mountain cliff, about more than 200 square meters, some flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the Taoist temple, and there are some tall pines and cypresses.

Cheng Ling took a deep breath, her chest and lungs were refreshed, and there was a hint of fragrance. He nodded secretly, this place has a good environment, like a place where a cultivator lives in a master.

The old man introduced: "Ling'er, this place is the residence of the teacher, and you will live here in the future! On the top of this mountain, there are several vacant rooms in the temple, and you can choose one for rest at will. ”

"There are also many monastic books in the meditation room, and you should study and understand them carefully, and if you don't understand something, you can always ask the teacher for advice. In the past few years, you have to work hard to lay a good foundation, and you must not be lazy, understand?"

Cheng Ling's heart trembled! This old man has just started training as a teacher, and I hope that he will not be too strict in the future, otherwise he will really not be able to get along!
