Chapter 40: Selection of Disciples (1)
"The selection of disciples mainly depends on three points, one is your cultivation, but your qualifications, and the third is your age, the three do not coexist, as long as the conditions are met under the comprehensive evaluation of these three points, you can pass the first round of selection, you must be fully mentally prepared. The disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect who flew out of the Ascension Immortal Pavilion looked at the crowd below in the air and said lightly, "When you get to the Ascension Immortal Pavilion, someone will test you on the three points I just said, I have already said what I should say, and then it is up to you." After the disciple said this, the sword under his feet moved, and the whole person turned into a cyan streamer and flew towards the Ascending Immortal Pavilion.
Bu Qi looked at the place where the disciple had left, touched his chin, and then smiled and continued to walk towards the Ascending Immortal Pavilion.
Liu Yuqing, who was next to him, saw that he didn't give up like this, although he was a little curious in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask, lowered his head and followed him.
The two of them walked slowly, and in the middle of the flow of people, they walked for about a stick of incense and suddenly felt the crowd stop.
"What's going on?" asked Liu Yuqing blankly.
"It was the monk who arrived first who was doing that so-called test. "Don't give up and retract your spiritual sense, and said slowly, "This Immortal Ascension Pavilion is not big, and there are not many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples who come to do the test, so we can only wait for a while." ”
"Oh. Liu Yuqing replied and didn't speak. If you don't give up, you are looking ahead with slightly squinted eyes, and you don't know what to think in your heart.
Time passed little by little, and the huge crowd was also moving forward little by little.
"Senior brother, how can I see a lot of people going back. Liu Yuqing's eyes widened, looking at the crowd walking back, and whispered.
"Hehe, although the threshold for the Heavenly Sword Sect to accept disciples is relatively low, it is not indiscriminate, these people definitely do not meet the conditions for the Heavenly Sword Sect to receive disciples, so they naturally go back. He replied with a smile.
"Oh, but I don't think these people seem to be low in cultivation. Liu Yuqing looked at the light flashing on the surface of those monks and asked again.
"You've only just learned about the characteristics of each level of the monks, although these people have a flash of inspiration on the surface, but in fact, their strength is only three or four layers. "Don't give up the tireless explanation.
"That's... Isn't that what I'm like that too? I'm not cultivating yet. Liu Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and then a little anxious.
"Don't be presumptuous about this, didn't the disciples of the Sword Sect say it that day before, there are three points in this test, cultivation is age and qualification, maybe you will be a little bit favored by them. Without giving up persuasion, Liu Yuqing's heart was only a little calm, but there was no bottom.
"Then if you don't abandon you, senior brother, you will definitely succeed. Liu Yuqing looked up and didn't give up.
"Not necessarily, after all, I don't know much about their standards. "Don't give up and sigh lightly, I know my qualifications best, although it is a ninth-layer realm, it is possible to be brushed down, but fortunately, I still have the Heavenly Sword Order in hand.
Time flowed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two hours passed.
"Don't abandon Senior Brother, it's almost time for us. Liu Yuqing looked at the stone pavilion in front of him and said in surprise.
"Hmm. He also looked at Shi Ting, "Let's go." ”
Walking forward, there were several disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect who were holding different magic weapons in their hands standing outside the stone pavilion in batches, looking at the monks in front of them with a flat expression, urging the magic weapons over and over again to measure their qualifications, ages and cultivation, and they did not tire of it.
Looking at the sky, dozens of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples who were floating with the sword were sitting cross-legged, one by one in a state of pretending to sleep, seemingly indifferent to everything below. However, among these people, the two people who do not abandon are the two who are surrounded by these disciples, and the two of them are also floating with Edgeworth, but they always feel very depressed when they look at him.
In the Stone Pavilion, there were some people standing sparsely, seeing that their costumes were not disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, they should not abandon the disciples who were selected in the first batch of tests in the front.
Bu Qi looked at the people in the stone pavilion with a tightness in his heart, and thought to himself: "How many people have been eliminated here?" Originally, I thought that what was recorded in the classics was a little untrue, but it seemed that it was more than enough. ”
Liu Yuqing on the side also discovered this, her little face was tense, and her heart was even more flustered.
"It's your turn. Just as Bu Qi was still thinking about it, the disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect in front of him shouted with a facial expression.
"Yes. Don't give up for a moment, immediately walked forward.
"Then we did what we said. One of the disciples said, "You put your right hand on this weapon." The disciple held a disc-like instrument in his hand and motioned not to give up and put his hand on it.
Without giving up, he put his right hand on it, and then the disc magic weapon shook for a while, and the colorful light of the convex groove on the surface kept changing, and after a breath lasted, it turned green and stopped changing.
"Green, aged between twenty and twenty-five, age-qualified. The disciple said that he didn't look at it and didn't give up, and then shouted to Liu Yuqing who didn't give up behind him, "You, get ready, the next one is you." ”
"Yes. Liu Yuqing replied obediently and walked in front of the disciple.
Bu Qi glanced at Liu Yuqing without speaking, and came to the front of the second disciple.
He stretched out his right hand and held the jade ruler. The second disciple's words came out, without giving up without hesitation, holding the jade ruler in his right hand and waiting.
"Well, now you are urging the spiritual energy in your body to inject into this jade ruler. The second disciple nodded and continued.
"Urging the aura with all your might?" Bu Qi looked at the disciple, seeing that he didn't say anything else and didn't think much about it, the aura in his body surged, and he slowly entered the jade ruler.
He didn't use too much spiritual energy, after all, now that he had pressed his spiritual power to the seventh-layer realm, he only needed to use the seventh-layer spiritual power.
"Huh?" "Huh?" The person who had been paying special attention to him before suddenly opened his eyes.
"What's the matter, Elder Lin. Elder Zhuge opened his eyes and looked at Elder Lin.
"It's nothing, this little guy down here is quite interesting. Elder Lin said with a smile.
"Oh?" Elder Zhuge followed Elder Lin's gaze and landed on Bu Qi, "How can this little guy have a familiar feeling. ”
"Hehe, Elder Zhuge might as well take a look at his true cultivation. Elder Lin said with a smile.
Elder Zhuge was a little puzzled when he saw Elder Lin's mysterious appearance, and then a flash of aura appeared in his eyes: "When this kid tested it, he used seventh-layer spiritual power, and the real realm was actually ninth-layer. ”
"Hehe, Elder Zhuge now knows where the familiar feeling on his body comes from. ”
"Well, looking at him like this, he should have cultivated my Heavenly Sword Sect's unique 'Qi Gathering Decision'. Elder Zhuge nodded. "Could it be—" Then he thought of something, and looked surprised. Elder Lin smiled and nodded.
After not giving up the infusion for a while, he felt that it was almost over, so he sent the jade ruler and returned it to the disciple.
The disciple took the jade ruler, and then pinched the formula in his hand, and a low mantra came out, and the jade ruler in his hand suddenly lit up, dazzling, and then gradually sank, and then looked at the jade ruler, and a row of small words appeared on the jade ruler: Seven layers of Qi refining period.
"Seven layers of qi refining, the realm is qualified. The disciple shouted out a word and waited for the next one.
Don't give up what you are used to, and go to the last disciple.
"Just put your right hand on it and don't have to do anything. The last disciple said gently, and then took out a disc magic weapon like the first disciple, but the difference was that the disc magic weapon in the first disciple's hand only had one convex groove, and this one had five convex grooves.
"This should be the last test, qualifications. Thinking of this, I was a little flustered in my heart, but then I thought that I was walking the Heavenly Sword Order, and my external hand calmed down a little, and I exhaled lightly and put my right hand on it.
As soon as the right hand put the disc on it, it felt like it had been seen through by someone if he didn't give it up, and he was shocked and subconsciously thought of withdrawing his hand, but the disciple suddenly held it down and didn't give up.
"This fellow Daoist doesn't need to panic, this is just a special detection method for this magic weapon, unlike when you test your age, you just look at your bone age, this is based on qualifications after all. ”
After hearing the disciple's words, the disciple's heart stabilized slightly, and the disciple smiled after seeing that he was calm, and pressed the hand of the non-abandonment to take it away and look at the magic weapon in his hand intently.
The five grooves on the disc magic vessel kept flashing, yellow, red, green, blue, gold, just when he was a little curious in his heart, the grooves stopped flashing, and then a convex groove turned green and was not flashing.
"This is the spiritual root of the wood attribute. The disciple laughed.
Another bump turns red.
"This is a fire attribute spirit root. ”
"This is the Water Attribute Spirit Root. ”
"This is the earth attribute spiritual root... ”
"It's... This is a metallic spirit root!" The disciple was stunned when he finally spoke, "This Daoist Fellow Linggen is really... It's really messy, can you also cultivate to the seventh-layer realm in your twenties?" The disciple's voice was not very loud, but it was enough for the people around him to hear it clearly, and the people around him looked at it in amazement, and Liu Yuqing also looked at it in surprise.
"This little guy is actually a miscellaneous spirit root?" Elder Zhuge in the sky was also a little surprised, "This miscellaneous spirit root is the same as the heavenly spirit root, which is rare in a hundred years, but I didn't expect that there is a miscellaneous spirit root here." ”
"This is really..."Elder Lin didn't know how to answer for a while.
"What should I do about this?" Elder Lin suddenly heard a voice in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Elder Zhuge 's lips move slightly: "This may be one of the disciples that Elder Taishang is looking for, can we accept him?"
"This..."Elder Lin lowered his head, and then said: "Although this little guy is a little less qualified, it is not impossible for him to reach the ninth-layer realm in his twenties, although there has never been a monk with miscellaneous spirit roots who can cultivate to the Yuanying realm, but there are still many people who have cultivated to the knot stage. And this is only the first round of testing, there will be later, it doesn't hurt to accept him first. ”
"Well, then I'll talk to Senior Nephew Qin. Elder Zhuge nodded, and then his lips moved slightly.
"This..."Buqi scratched his head and didn't know what to say, "Then senior brother, am I qualified?" asked Buqi cautiously.
"Of course you... Wait a minute, I'll ask Senior Brother Qin about this. The disciple motioned not to give up and waited, and then walked to the stone pavilion.
Buqi watched the disciple walk towards the stone pavilion, and after clenching his fist at one of the round-faced monks, he pointed out to him, and the round-faced monk looked at Buqi with a deep groan on his face.
Bu Qi's heart sank, looking at the appearance of the round-faced monk was thinking or having other plans, but it was not that there was no turnaround, he still had the Heavenly Sword Order in his hand, thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his chest, and he felt a lot more relieved after feeling that the Heavenly Sword Order was still in his arms.
"I really haven't encountered this before, I'm afraid I have to consult the two elders first. The round-faced monk shook his head, and then his hand tried to reach his waist.
"Senior nephew Qin, that Miscellaneous Spirit Root monk can stay. A voice came into the ears of the round-faced monk, and it was none other than Elder Zhuge .
The round-faced monk's heart moved, and then he said quietly, "He passed." ”
"Didn't Senior Brother Qin ask the elders? you—" The disciple looked puzzled.
"That's what the elder means, just do it. The round-faced monk waved him away.
"Yes. The disciple did not hesitate and retreated.
