Dongfeng Wendao hall, the hall is built unusually wide, the bluestone slabs are full of rows of gray futons, the number is afraid of nearly a thousand.

In front of these futons, on a high platform more than a foot high, there is also a futon.

Behind the high platform, a bronze statue of Qingyun real people that is the same as in the Qingyun Hall sits at the back.

In addition, in addition to these things, there are only a few breezy candlesticks on the four sides of the main hall, which illuminate the hall with a lot of light and shadow.

At this moment, there is a man sitting cross-legged on the high platform of the main hall, with a majestic figure, and two sword eyebrows flying obliquely into the bun, it is Wang Chaoyang, the head of Qingyun Sect.

There are seven people standing on the right under the high platform, five men and two women, with faces ranging from the twilight of the decade to the twilight of the year, these people are the elders of the Qingyun Sect, but Yuan Qingzi is not among them.

The futon near the high platform was also full of people at the moment, one by one, sitting precariously, with a respectful expression, it was the people recruited from the Qingyunmen from the cities, and the Qingyunmen people who led them into the hall had also withdrawn from the hall.

After Wang Chaoyang glanced down, he couldn't help but nodded, his face was very satisfied, and he said: "I am Wang Chaoyang, the head of Qingyun Sect, and I have summoned you here today to let you see the elders of this sect, as well as our selection of people with excellent spiritual roots as disciples. ”

When Chen San and the others heard this, they all turned their heads to each other and whispered, or they looked down and thought about something.

"Silence. Under Wang Chaoyang's shout and a slight release of divine sense coercion, the following instantly quieted down.

Feeling the pressure of Wang Chaoyang's divine sense on the high platform, Chen San and the others were like pouring lead, unable to move a bit, and cold sweat was pouring down their backs.

Looking at the appearance of the people below, Wang Chaoyang spoke again: "The number of elders in this sect is not very large, and the elders also need to meditate and cultivate or go out to practice to find spiritual objects, so they can only accept one or two people at a time. Even if they are excellent in spiritual roots, they can only hope that they can enter the eyes of the elders. ”

The hearts of the people below were shocked, and they all said to themselves: Isn't this self-study and self-study? Even if they have learned the same kind of exercises, but under the guidance of someone and no one, there is a difference of thousands of miles between entering the realm. Even if it is not so exaggerated, it should be far from entering the country.

Because of his martial arts practice, Chen San can understand the gap better than many people.

"Even so, this sect still has a Gong Gong Hall on the North Peak, and there are several uncles and uncles in the hall for a long time, and even the elders on duty have been teaching you to solve your doubts, so you don't have to panic. Wang Chaoyang said to himself, "Okay, let's start picking now." I'll take the lead and pick it out first. ”

After speaking, Wang Chaoyang looked around and picked it up.

Chen San and the others couldn't help but raise their heads and raise their chests, and they all met Chaoyangzi's gaze, and the look of anticipation and nervousness flashed in their eyes.

Not long after, Chen San and the others learned that in fact, the so-called matter of the head elder choosing an apprentice had already been decided.

The disciple selected by the head of the sect is definitely the disciple with the best qualifications, no matter what kind of attribute spiritual root it is, it is meaningless, as the master of the sect, he can choose the best from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in the door, and it is also the most in line with the attribute exercises of the selected person.

The elders were only ranked according to their cultivation qualifications from among the disciples selected by the head of the sect, and then selected a disciple with the best qualifications and attribute spiritual roots that met the conditions for their selection as a disciple.

If there are still outstanding qualifications among the remaining disciples, and they meet their own conditions for selecting apprentices, they will be accepted in order according to their ranking.

Of course, the sect was very much in favor of the elders taking more apprentices. It's a pity that the elders not only have to cultivate and experience by themselves, but also occasionally deal with sect affairs, and also pass on the skills of the apprentices to solve their doubts.

Even some elders have a perverse temperament, and it is not for nothing that they have never recruited a single apprentice in their lives. Therefore, very few elders have their eyes wide open and accept two or even several apprentices at a time.

Moreover, the attribute spirit root qualifications in the new recruits have also been registered at the time of recruitment, and this kind of open selection in the door is only for the people who are selected to have better self-motivation and belonging, and in addition, it also allows other people to see the elders in the lower door as mentioned before.

As for the feelings of those who were not chosen, the door did not pay much attention. The door will only try to focus on taking care of those who have not been selected for slightly inferior qualifications, and other general qualifications will not be able to have opportunities in the future, otherwise throughout their lives, it is already a blessing to be able to build the foundation period.

The above is basically the practice of selecting disciples in all sects.

Chen San looked at Wang Chaoyang, his fists clenched and his face was excited, and he was very excited and nervous in his heart, because Wang Chaoyang looked back and forth several times, and his eyes stayed on Chen San a few times.

This situation made Chen San secretly happy: hehe. Could it be that young master, I was really born to cultivate the immortal destiny, and as soon as I entered the immortal gate, it was smooth sailing, and I reached the supreme realm of the immortals.

The same thought as Chen San also sparked in the hearts of everyone below Wang Chaoyang, what they didn't know was that Wang Chaoyang looked at them with a trace of divine confusion in his eyes, causing all of them to have a feeling in their hearts that they were very favored by the watchful eye of the master.

It's a pity, as Wang Chaoyang raised his hand and pointed, he said, "Yang Fan, stand up." I saw a masculine man with a simple appearance who was stunned for a moment, with an unbelievable expression on his face, and then raised his legs in surprise and got up, bowed to Wang Chaoyang and said, "Disciple Yang Fan has seen Shizun. ”

"Very good, very good. Wang Chaoyang laughed and said: "After the selection of apprentices is over, you don't have to go back to Nanfeng, stay in Dongfeng with me, and arrange your residence and other miscellaneous matters for the division association." ”

"Xie Shizun arranged.

"Alright, you come here and stand first, so that the elders can continue to choose disciples. Chaoyangzi beckoned.

Yang Fan didn't say anything more, obediently walked to the left side of the high platform and stood with his hands down.

Everyone below looked at Yang Fan, and couldn't help but feel very disappointed in their hearts, Chen San even sighed that this Yang Fan had a deep source of blessings, and he let him take advantage of any good thing, and his face looked unwilling. Then I had to raise my head and chest and cheer up, because it was the turn of the elders to choose.

They also know in their hearts that the matter of selecting apprentices is also selected according to the ranking of seniority, and the seniority in the door is the distinction between high and low cultivation, that is to say, the first selection of apprentices is basically the highest cultivation person. Even if they are wrong, they are not bad.

Sure enough, an old man sixty miles away under the high platform spoke: "The old man has the destiny of heaven, and he is the great elder of Qingyunmen, and the people whose names the old man recited below stand up in turn. Zhao Chongming, Yang Zhenwei, Qian Feng, Rong Ruyi. ”

The people who were read showed surprise on their faces, raised their legs and stood up, with a look of anticipation and anxiety.

Those who were not read sighed one after another, complaining that their lives were thin, and they could only count on the favor of the next elder.

Wan Tianming glanced back and forth on the faces of the three of them a few times, and also sensed the spiritual root attribute aura on their bodies with his divine sense, and finally pointed to one person: "Zhao Chongming, you don't have to go back to Nanfeng after the apprenticeship is over, now stand next to your senior brother Yang Fan." ”

A young man with a strong body and a dignified face bowed to the Ten Thousand Heavenly Mandate, and he also obediently came to the high platform and stood next to Yang Fan with his hands down.

The next things, such as out of the exit, the elders came out one after another to read out the name, the person who was read was expected to be chosen, and the person who was not read could only helplessly count on the next elder.

However, there are also elders who only read the name of a disciple, and then directly recruit them as apprentices, which makes those who are read by name but not selected very aggrieved and envious of that disciple.

There are also elders who read the names of the people who were read by the elders before, so that the hope of the people who are read is renewed.

Chen San looked at the remaining two elders after most of the elders had selected the disciples one after another, and couldn't help but clench his fists, his heart became restless, and he said in his heart: "Obediently, young master, I don't even have the qualifications to be read by others? Is it true that my qualifications are so unbearable, young master? No, I don't believe it!"

After a few moments, the two remaining elders also began to choose their doormen.

One of the two elders who had not chosen a doorman was a woman dressed in palace clothes, with a slightly round face, apricot eyes and thick lips, and a very rich figure, and her appearance was like a double ten years old, which also surprised Chen San and the others.

Another elder was at the end of the line, in his early forties, dressed in a Confucian shirt, with a cloth belt on his head, and his face was very bookish, and he looked like a scholar.

Under Chen San's ambivalence of unwillingness and expectation, "The concubine Li Yuemei is the seventh elder of Qingyunmen. The woman then gently called out two names: "Xu Xiangyu, Chen San, the two of you stand up in turn." ”

A girl of the same age as Chen San stood up one after another with the same excitement as Chen San, just like the person who had been chosen before, with a look of anticipation and nervousness.

When the woman glanced at Chen San and the others, the last scholar-looking elder flashed a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and then a voice sounded directly in his heart, "Elder Song Zhuoxian, since you joined this sect, this year is already the thirtieth year. In previous years, you said that you wanted to get used to the situation of Qingyunmen, so you pushed the matter of recruiting people twice. But this year, you have finally decided to start this class of disciples, and I am looking forward to you, Elder, so you should choose carefully and don't let me down. The voice turned out to be transmitted by Wang Chaoyang's divine sense.

Song Zhuoxian's heart sank, and he also said: "Please rest assured, Song will definitely choose well this year, and you must not disappoint the master." ”

"That's very good. After Wang Chaoyang replied lightly, he stopped talking.

At this time, Elder Li Yumei pointed to the woman and said, "Xu Xiangyu, you don't have to go back to Nanfeng after the apprenticeship is over, now stand next to your senior brother Yang Fan." ”

When the woman heard this, she bowed down, her face was full of joy, and she happily walked all the way to the selected disciple under the high platform and stood up.

Chen San sat down slowly, his face full of disappointment and loneliness.

"I, Song Zhuoxian, am the eighth elder of the Qingyun Sect, and the people whose names Song read below stand up in turn. Yang Zhenwei, Qian Feng, Rong Ruyi, Chen San. The last elder, Song Zhuoxian, opened his voice.

The person who was read got up stunned, and the person who was not read was also stunned, although Wang Chaoyang and the elders on the high platform did not change their expressions, there was a trace of different color flashing in their eyes.

Because through some previous selections, even if everyone in the audience did not understand the selection conditions very clearly, they also knew the general conditions of the elders' selection. As long as an elder chooses apprentices with the same conditions as the superior elder, then he will only choose from the remaining disciples selected by the previous elders, and will never add another person.

Chen San is an outlier who has been added.

Chen San was not a stupid person, the elders had also seen a rough idea of the selection conditions before, and now Chen San, who stood up, had a stunned look on his face, which was a few points more than the others.

Although he felt something, he said in Song Zhuoxian's mouth, "Chen San, stand next to your senior brother, and I will also order someone to arrange all the chores for you after a while." Chen San was still pleasantly surprised: "Disciple Chen San thanked the master. ”

Then in a burst of strange eyes from everyone, Chen San, who was agitated in his heart, walked to the side of several fellow disciples under the high platform and stood still.
