Chapter 35: News of the Foundation Verification Conference
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, then why do we have ten people from the Immortal Sect in our Long family now?"
Long Zheng picked up the teacup, took another sip of tea, and said: "After the third spider siege, after another few decades, the people of the Jade Sword Gate said that in order to help our Sifang City enhance the power of protection, and also to provide an opportunity for the destined people of Sifang City to cultivate immortals, the Jade Sword Gate will begin to recruit people who can cultivate immortals in Sifang City. ”
After that, without waiting for Long Chuan to ask, Long Zheng continued: "There are two criteria for the Jade Sword Sect to recruit immortal cultivators. The first criterion is age. No one over the age of twenty-four is allowed to participate in the recruitment. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Why?"
Long Zheng said: "According to the Jade Sword Sect, the meridians in the body have basically taken shape after the age of twenty-four. If you step into the path of immortality after this age, it will be difficult to achieve cultivation. ”
Long Chuan nodded lightly, he could understand this condition.
Before crossing over to this time and space, Long Chuan heard the people in the mirror say that in this time and space, the lifespan of ordinary people can reach two hundred years. Long Chuan originally thought that compared to the time and space in which he originally lived, a hundred-year-old person in this time and space should be equivalent to a fifty-year-old person in another time and space in terms of body and mind.
It wasn't until he crossed into this time and space and was born in his current body that Long Chuan realized that the situation was not what he originally thought.
According to Long Chuan's own experience and observations, in this time and space, the growth and aging rate of ordinary people is indeed slower than that of people in another time and space. But this gap is far from as big as I imagined.
If we compare it by age, in this time and space, a 100-year-old person is equivalent to an 80-year-old person in another time and space, both physically and mentally.
It's just that in this time and space, perhaps because the air here is fresher and the food is fresher and more original, people in this time and space, after a hundred years old, the aging rate of their bodies will become slower. After the age of 100, as long as there are no accidents or diseases, the old people in this time and space can survive for another 180 years.
The age standard of twenty-four years old set by the Jade Sword Sect is equivalent to twenty years old if it is placed in another time and space. In another time and space, when a person reaches the age of twenty, all aspects of the body, including the meridians, have already been formed. Some things, such as martial arts, jiu-jitsu, yoga and other things that have special requirements for the body, are really inconvenient to learn.
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, what about the second standard?"
Long Zheng said: "The second criterion is Xianji. ”
Long Chuan pretended to be uncertain and asked, "Xianji, what is that?"
Long Zheng said: "We don't know what Xianji is. The Jade Sword Sect has a method that can test the immortal base in the body of ordinary people. ”
Long Chuan showed a curious look and asked, "Dad, what is the method?"
Long Zheng shook his head and said, "We don't know exactly what it is based on. All we know is that every time we test the Immortal Base, the Jade Sword Gate will take out a special stone. The person being tested put his hands on the stone. After a while, the stone will light up. If there is only one light, the person being tested is a kind of immortal base, also known as pure immortal base. If two rays of light are lit, the person being tested is two kinds of immortal bases, also known as double immortal bases. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, is that one kind of immortal base better, or two kinds of immortal bases?"
Long Zheng said: "According to the standards of the Jade Sword Sect, the fewer immortal bases, the better. A kind of senji person is the best. ”
Long Chuan then asked, "Dad, what kind of people does the Jade Sword Sect usually recruit from the Immortal Foundation?"
Long Zheng said: "As long as there are no more than three immortal bases, the Jade Sword Gate will recruit and introduce them into the Immortal Gate. ”
Long Chuan asked again: "Then has there been a person within the three immortal bases in our Long family, and how many others have appeared?"
After Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other, Li Yun said: "Chuan'er, according to the records of our Long family, three hundred years ago, our Long family also produced several ancestors within the three types of immortal bases, and even produced an ancestor of pure immortal bases. ”
After Xiaoqing said "ah" in Long Chuan's mind, Long Chuan asked, "Mother, what about the ancestors?"
Li Yun shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know." ”
Long Chuan asked, "Didn't those ancestors come back?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "According to the records of our Long family, after those ancestors were introduced to the Immortal Gate by the Jade Sword Sect, they never came back. ”
Long Chuan frowned lightly and asked, "Dad, why?" didn't the Jade Sword Sect explain?"
Long Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Every time the Jade Sword Sect recruits immortal cultivators, it will explain in advance. To meet the recruitment criteria, you only have the qualifications to step into the immortal gate, but it does not necessarily mean that you will be able to cultivate successfully. Moreover, the Jade Sword Gate also said that stepping into the Immortal Gate is not to cultivate immortals smoothly, but to face many difficulties and dangers that ordinary people cannot imagine. The people in the immortal gate are also very likely to fall halfway. ”
Long Chuan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "Dad, the Jade Sword Sect didn't explain, did those ancestors of our Long family fall?"
Long Zheng shook his head again and said, "The Jade Sword Sect said that the people in the Immortal Sect have no time to practice. A retreat is likely to last for decades, or even centuries. Moreover, as soon as you enter the fairy gate, you are separated by immortals. Unless the Jade Sword Sect allows it, ordinary people are not allowed to inquire about the affairs of the people in the Immortal Sect. What happened to the ancestors, our Long family has not received any news. ”
Seeing Long Zheng's appearance, Li Yun said: "Chuan'er, not only our Long family, but also several other families are the same. ”
Long Chuan hurriedly asked, "Mother, do you mean that there are also people from several other families who have entered the Immortal Gate?"
Li Yun nodded and said, "Three hundred years ago, several other families were also introduced into the Immortal Gate. None of us have heard of the people who joined the Immortal Sect coming back. ”
Long Chuan then asked, "How many people from those families have joined the Immortal Sect, and what kind of Immortal Ji are they?"
Long Zheng said: "In the past few hundred years, a total of nine people from the Xia family have joined the Immortal Sect. Among them, there are two double immortal bases, and the others are all three immortal bases. There are seven people in the Huang family who have joined the Immortal Gate, one of them is a double immortal base, and the others are all three immortal bases. There are six people in the Cheng family who have joined the Immortal Gate, one of them is a double immortal base, and the others are three immortal bases. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, where is the Mansion Master's Mansion?"
Long Zheng shook his head and said, "The Mansion Master's Mansion is tested by the Jade Sword Sect alone every time. We don't know exactly how many people have joined the Xianmen. ”
Long Chuan then asked, "These people who joined the Immortal Sect have never returned?"
Long Zheng shook his head again and said, "Three hundred years ago, yes. But in the past three hundred years, the Xia family, the Cheng family, the Huang family, and the new people from the Mansion Lord's Mansion who have joined the Immortal Gate have all returned with the people from the Immortal Gate of the Jade Sword Sect during the foundation inspection conference. ”
Long Chuan asked, "What about our Long family?"
After Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other again, Long Zheng said, "In the past three hundred years, none of our Long family has been able to join the Immortal Sect. ”
Long Chuan let out an "ah" and said, "Not a single one of the Three Immortal Bases?"
Long Zheng shook his head, and said in a somewhat heavy voice: "In the past three hundred years, the best immortal bases that our Long family people have been measured are only four kinds of immortal bases, and none of them meet the standards of the Jade Sword Sect. ”
Long Chuan frowned lightly and asked, "Dad, how many people from our Long family take the test each time?"
Long Zheng said: "All the acropolis, there are only three places at a time. ”
The dragon legend said: "So few? Except for the Fu City, isn't there only a maximum of twelve places in the Sifang City?"
Long Zheng nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Of the four acropolis, there are indeed only three places. But in addition to the four acropolis, the Jade Sword Gate will also recruit people from the Immortal Gate among those outside the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Will the Jade Sword Sect still recruit people from the Immortal Sect among other ordinary people?"
Long Zheng nodded again and said, "Yes." Moreover, the Jade Sword Sect recruits people from the Immortal Sect among other ordinary people, and there is no quota limit. As long as it meets the standards of the Jade Sword Gate, the Jade Sword Gate will introduce the Immortal Gate. ”
Long Chuan frowned and asked, "Dad, why is this?"
Long Zheng said: "The saying of the Jade Sword Gate is that God has the virtue of a good life, and the immortal family has a benevolent heart. The Jade Sword Sect said that the four Acropolis Lords, including our Long Family, had already enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the mortal world, and they should give more opportunities for cultivating immortals to ordinary people. Therefore, the Jade Sword Gate does not restrict ordinary people from joining the Immortal Gate. ”
Xiao Qing said in Long Chuan's mind: "Long Chuan, this Jade Sword Sect doesn't seem to be so noble." ”
Long Chuan let out a "hmm" in his mind and said, "Dad, have the other selected ordinary people ever come back after joining the Immortal Gate?"
Long Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. We've never seen one at the conference. However, the people in the immortal gate have the means of the immortal family. Even if we do come back, we can't know if we don't want to be known. ”
Long Chuan nodded lightly, and then asked, "Dad, apart from our four Acropolis Lords' Mansions, how many ordinary people have been selected to enter the Immortal Gate?"
Long Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "In the past few hundred years, there should have been thousands of people. ”
Long Chuan said in surprise, "So many?"
Long Zheng said: "Chuan'er, it's not much. Our eastern city alone has a population of tens of millions. Combined, there are hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the four acropolis. Over the past few hundred years, the Jade Sword Sect has selected a total of several thousand people, and the proportion is already very small. ”
Long Chuan thought for a while, and then asked, "Dad, then does our Long family send three people to participate in the test every time?"
After Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other again, they said, "Chuan'er, our Long family, in these hundreds of years of foundation testing conferences, there are at least five people who participate in the test every time. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, didn't you say that there are only three places?"
Long Zheng said: "Chuan'er, in the past two or three hundred years, no one in our Long family has been able to be selected into the Immortal Sect. In order to be able to increase our chances of being selected, we have been buying more places. ”
Long Chuan let out an "ah" and asked, "Dad, can you still buy this place?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." As long as you provide some additional items to the Jade Sword Gate, the Jade Sword Gate can give more places. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Is the quota expensive?"
Long Zheng nodded again and said, "The items needed to purchase an additional quota can be used by the ten Immortal Sect people in our mansion for three years. ”
Long Chuan let out another "ah" and said, "So expensive?"
Li Yun said: "Chuan'er, expensive is not a problem. Our Long family has been in charge of Dongcheng for hundreds of years, and the ancestors in the house are loyal to the Long family, and they are very good at management, and they have always managed Dongcheng and our Long family well. If you just need worldly wealth, no matter how expensive it is, our Long family can afford it. The problem is that what the Jade Sword Gate needs is not worldly things, but things used by those who cultivate immortals. Those things, although they can also be bought with worldly wealth, but even with more wealth, there is nothing that can be bought. ”
Long Chuan frowned and said, "Mother, why?"
Li Yun said: "Chuan'er, those things are either buried in the ground or born in a desperate place. Moreover, there are often some strange beasts or other things in the vicinity of these things. Over the years, people who go out to find these things have often encountered dangers, and many people have even died because of it. Gradually, these things became more and more rare. Moreover, it is not only our eastern city that needs it, but also several other cities in the square city. Therefore, in the end, there will be even fewer that can flow to our eastern city. ”
