The boat moves fast, like a silverfish jumping on water. The www.biquge.info sea and the sky are the same color in the distance, the sky is connected with the distant water, the water is connected to the sky, the waves are ups and downs, and it is very spectacular.

Zheng Xingping divided the two hundred and fifty outer disciples into five teams. Together with Qin Di, several disciples of the upper three grade spirit roots were evenly distributed, and each team had one person, standing in five square formations.

Then, he called out the five inner disciples who were following behind him, and ordered them to pick a team and stand in front of the phalanx.

These inner disciples are not very old, they all look like they are still young and middle-aged, all of them are dressed in green shirts, and their heads are grand, obviously not ordinary people.

In addition, Zheng Xingping called five older monks from the cabin and asked them to stand next to the phalanx. These people are older, and their hair is a little gray.

Qin Di didn't know much about the situation of the cultivators, so he couldn't judge their true age.

At this time, the five phalanxes were neatly arranged, Zheng Xingping walked to the bow of the boat, and began to lecture to everyone, his voice was a little excited: "We, the Jindan Sect, recruit a group of disciples every ten years, and recruit half of each in the Southern Yue Kingdom and the Northern Wei Kingdom. I was in charge of the test of the Yue Kingdom, and another Outer Sect Elder surnamed Gu was in charge of the selection of the Wei Guo. Except for the miscellaneous disciples, the rest were all outer disciples, adding up to five hundred people in total, divided into ten teams, each team of fifty, guided by a leading senior brother of the tenth layer of qi refining. It is the young people who stand in front of you, these people are not only responsible for teaching the Fa, but also taking you out to experience and protect your safety; in addition to the senior brother who takes the lead, there is also an experienced elder who also has the cultivation of the late stage of Qi refining, who is responsible for daily life, helping to answer questions and solve doubts, and can be regarded as your enlightenment teacher. Elder Ben is considered to be an inspector teacher, and he only takes care of important matters, and when he encounters a problem that the senior brother and Master Meng can't solve, he can come to me!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Xingping laughed twice: "However, you can't usually find Elder Ben!" because everyone has to cultivate, including your team leader senior brother, who is very busy, and I am even busier, and I don't have much effort to teach you." The management of our disciples is loose, and you have to rely on yourself to practice. ”

More than 200 young men stood on the deck, listening to the elders.

Zheng Xingping looked at everyone and said: "Although it is said that the management is relaxed, there are still assessments that should be made, and they are quite strict! You must remember that at this time every spring, the progress of your skills must be assessed, and every three years, there is also a big competition between sects. If you fail to pass the test, you will be punished with whipping at the lightest, and expelled from the sect at the worst!"

The people were worried, and they didn't know what was qualified and what was unqualified.

I heard Elder Zheng continue: "There are a total of thirteen layers in the entire Qi Refining Period, the first four layers belong to the early stage of Qi refining, the fifth to eighth layers are the middle stage of Qi refining, the ninth to twelfth layers belong to the late stage of Qi refining, the twelfth layer of Qi refining is also called the 'peak of Qi refining', and the thirteenth layer is the 'Great Perfection of Qi Refining'. According to the regulations of the sect: one year of entry, one must improve the foundation of cultivation, the spirit is complete, the qi is full, the muscles and bones are strong, and you must find the sense of qi and step into the first layer of qi refining; enter the second layer after three years of entry; enter the third layer after five years of entry; enter the fourth layer after seven years of entry; enter the middle stage of the fifth layer of qi refining for ten years; enter the middle stage of qi refining at the fifth level after entering thirty years, and enter the late stage of qi refining at the ninth level, you can become an inner disciple. It's all a dead rule, and there's a minimum standard for every time. If it can't be completed, it will be delayed for half a year at most, and it will be sent back to its hometown!"

Speaking of this, the essence in his eyes radiated, forcing everyone's hearts to be awe-inspiring, and then he said: "Don't think that sending back to your hometown is a very light punishment! Isn't it good to be able to go home? It's not good! If you don't build a foundation, you won't have a solid foundation if you don't build a foundation, and if you return to the Yue Kingdom, you will lack spiritual energy, and you won't have the support of spiritual stones, and within two or three years, your skills will be wasted! Think about it, if you work hard to cultivate, and finally turn back into a mortal, isn't this the biggest punishment?"

Hearing this, someone below couldn't help it and began to speak in a low voice: "Scared to death! One step a year, why is it so strict?"

"I'm really going to die, I'm not qualified, can I meet the standard code?"

"It's hard! One of my uncles was thrown home!

Most of the disciples had just passed three levels in a row, and it was when they were full of confidence, so they didn't care very much. There are also people who have good spiritual roots and feel superior to others, so they straighten their chests and show a proud look on their faces.

"Hehe, little meaning, I've been cultivating for more than ten years, and now I'm already at the second level of qi refining!"

"I've been cultivating for five years, refining qi at the first level......"

"No problem, although I haven't cultivated, we have good qualifications, and we are faster than others!"

"I've heard that someone has cultivated to the peak of Qi refining for twenty years. How could there be such a low standard, thirty years before reaching the late stage of qi refining?"

"Don't worry, that standard is for people with poor qualifications......"

In the whisper, Zheng Xingping's words continued to drift into everyone's ears: "I said earlier that if you are not in the late stage of qi refining for thirty years, you will be sent back to your hometown, and the ending will be tragic and pitiful. If you pass this level, it will be much better all of a sudden, after entering the late stage of qi refining, according to the regulations, you can cultivate to the peak of qi refining, even if you can't cultivate, you can also go to the dense forest of Xishan to plant spiritual grass, or go to the surrounding islands to guard the spiritual field, and be able to continue to practice, which is much better than sending it back to its hometown. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said, "If you step into the thirteenth layer of Qi refining, even if you cultivate two Jiazi, you can't build a foundation for one hundred and twenty years, you can still be hired as a deacon, manage the industries in various parts of the sect, enjoy sufficient spiritual energy on the one hand, and prolong your life with the elixir on the other, you can live to a very high lifespan." You must know that every level of power increases, it will increase a lot of lifespan. Ordinary people live to be seventy years old, one hundred years old in the early stage of Qi refining, one hundred and thirty years old in the middle stage, one hundred and sixty years old in the later stage, and two hundred years old at the peak of Qi refining, if they reach the thirteenth layer of the Great Perfection, they can live to be two hundred and fifty years old, think about how carefree and free it is, and the second half of their lives!"

Many disciples listened with fascination, and some dared to ask, "May I ask the elder, how old can Zhuji live?"

Zheng Xingping smiled: "Zhuji is more than four hundred years old, Jindan is eight hundred to one thousand years old, if it is Yuanying Zhenjun, it is at least one thousand five hundred years old, and even three thousand years old." As for the Yuan Infant, Elder Ben doesn't know, but I have heard legends that he has been in the void for 10,000 years, and he has been in the Dao for 100,000 years, and then the spirit immortals, heavenly immortals, golden immortals, and Dao Ancestors, we don't dare to say it! Listen, the higher the skill, the longer you live! You children, all of them have good spiritual roots, as long as you practice well, everyone has a chance, not to mention living with the sky, it is still possible to live for thousands of years!"

Hearing these words, the hearts of all the disciples were excited, and they couldn't wait to rush to the sect's residence earlier and start cultivating immediately.

The big boat floated on the water for five days, with a journey of no less than 80,000 miles, and under the incessant teachings of Elder Zheng Xingping, and in the explanation of the leading senior brother and the enlightenment master, it finally approached the "Red Fire Continent", the residence of the Jindan Sect.
