After Xu Changsheng heard this, he felt that he could understand it. After all, he was the Holy Lord now. If he didn't even understand this matter, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"What are the old rules?"
"The so-called old rules." Zhao Wuji smiled: "From top to bottom... well, I have forgotten the rules that have been passed down to this day since many generations of Holy Lords."
"Every year between August and September, our Zixiao Holy Land opens its gates."
"Of course, we call it the Great Open Mountain Gate ourselves, and the outside world generally calls it the 'Zixiao Immortal Gate'."
During his eloquent conversation, Xu Changsheng gradually understood the process of opening the mountain gate of Zixiao Holy Land.
To put it simply, every August or September, Zixiao Holy Land will choose a time of about half a month to open its gates.
During this period, all those with innocent identities and under a hundred years old can come and try to worship in the Holy Land of Zixiao.
But trying is just trying, whether you can be 'admitted' is another matter.
The standard of evaluation is naturally ‘assessment’.
The assessment process is also very ‘standard’, and can even be said to be ‘old-fashioned’.
In the past, it was no matter who you are, your identity is no problem, your age is no problem, you want to sign up, right? OK, let’s test the qualifications first.
Those who have the qualifications to cultivate immortals can enter the next assessment, and those who do not will be eliminated on the spot.
The second assessment is ‘climbing the ladder to heaven’.
It is the kind of ladder used for assessment that Xu Changsheng often sees in his immortality and fantasy novels. When climbing the ladder, different physical and mental pressures will be given to the climber according to the strength of the climber. The test is actually perseverance.
Those who can insist on climbing to the top can enter the last item: fantasy~
To put it simply, a strong person sets up an illusion array, allowing everyone to enter and experience various illusions.
Arouse their deepest, most hidden desires.
This can determine whether these people are useful, loyal, etc.
After finishing the work, based on various 'data' from the three assessments, many inner sect bosses will select the person first.
Now that the bosses have finished choosing, some inner sects of immortals who want to recruit disciples can also come and choose.
What is left in the end is ‘one size fits all’.
Those with average grades will be classified into the outer sect, and those with poor grades will become servant disciples.
Of course, becoming a master or a disciple is always a two-way choice, so these people can also refuse and go down the mountain on their own.
There's nothing wrong with any of this.
After listening, Xu Changsheng muttered: "It's really a classic entrance examination."
"Ah? Holy Lord, what did you just say?"
Zhao Wuji thought Xu Changsheng was talking to him and said he didn't hear clearly.
"nothing."
"However, I really have a different view on these assessments."
Zhao Wuji was stunned.
He had just reported it as usual. After all, Xu Changsheng was the Holy Master and the Holy Master who had just succeeded to the throne. He had to tell the Holy Master these things, right?
As for changes or something.
What can be changed about this?
Over the years, so many generations of Holy Lords, there has been no change. Although the entrance examinations of other Holy Lands or Immortal Sects are different from those of Zixiao Holy Land, they are actually similar, and the "Talent->Perseverance->Character"
A set of classic entry-level assessments that everyone has been using for many years!
He originally thought that Xu Changsheng was too lazy to care about such trivial matters.
But I didn’t expect that I would have different opinions as soon as I opened my mouth?
Seeing that Zhao Wuji was a little confused, Xu Changsheng smiled and said: "Elder Zhao, let me ask you, what is the proportion of these three assessments?"
"this···"
Zhao Wuji pondered: "The road to immortality is difficult. If you have outstanding talent, you can avoid many detours."
"So usually, when elders choose disciples, they usually put talent first."
"If you want to talk about the proportion, it's at least 60%."
"Although perseverance and character are also top priorities, compared with talent, they are far behind, so they should be about 20% each."
"Well, it's pretty much what I thought." Xu Changsheng nodded slightly: "In the final analysis, it all depends on talent."
Not enough perseverance?
Bad character?
That’s all due to insufficient talent!
If you have enough talent, what kind of perseverance do you need? What kind of talent do you need?
You can become an immortal and an ancestor just by lying down there!
Of course, there are very few people with such talent throughout ancient history. However, if the talent is good enough but the character and perseverance are poor, it is not unacceptable.
So, in the final analysis, the fairy world is such a reality.
This is true even for the relatively mild Zixiao Holy Land.
In the so-called three assessments, in many cases, everyone only looks at the first one.
Poor performance in the first category means excellent perseverance and good character. Most immortals will not accept him as a disciple.
There seems to be nothing wrong with it.
But as a time traveler who has been poisoned by online novels, Xu Changsheng felt that something was seriously wrong with it~!
Talent is important, but who hasn’t heard of waste material flow?
This kind of waste stream is often a group of people who have poor talent in the early stage, but have great character and perseverance. At the same time, their future achievements are also terrifyingly high.
Although in the fairy world, it is almost impossible for these 'protagonist templates' to achieve the highest level and crush everything, but even becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal is a good thing for Zixiao Holy Land.
Who would think that there are too many powerful people in his family?!
However, according to the current assessment and apprenticeship methods of Zixiao Holy Land, even if a protagonist of the "waste flow" model comes to become a disciple, he is afraid that he will only be able to stay in the outer sect, or even become a handyman disciple.
This is obviously inappropriate.
However, this entry-level examination, which has been passed down for countless years, should be changed at any time, fearing that people will object?
Xu Changsheng touched his chin and rolled his eyes, yes!
"Elder Zhao, has the entrance examination of our Zixiao Holy Land ever been spread?"
"This? Of course it has spread." Zhao Wuji said with some curiosity: "Over the years, countless people have participated in the assessment, and countless people have failed in the process. Naturally, this matter cannot be hidden."
"Besides, it's not a secret in the first place."
"Snapped!"
Xu Changsheng snapped his fingers: "That's the problem!"
"This routine has been used for too long. Everyone already knows what's going on, and almost everyone who wants to enter our Zixiao Holy Land will undergo targeted training in advance, right?"
"This is natural." Zhao Wuji nodded as he should.
"In other words~" Xu Changsheng said step by step: "Some people may have undergone targeted training for eighty or ninety years."
"And some people only have ten or twenty years."
"There are also some people who are very young and don't even have time to receive targeted training."
"When these people come together to take the assessment."
"Elder Zhao, do you think our entrance examination is fair at all?"
Zhao Wuji scratched his head.
fair?
There is no absolute fairness. Even many elders only look at talent, and the last two assessments are just for show.
