Jiang Chen's heart moved. Didn't he join the Eternal Holy Land just to get the support of the Eternal Holy Land and gain the capital to fight against the Xiahou Sect?
Otherwise, given his isolated background and tight time limit, it would be difficult to properly resolve Huang'er's matter.
And now, the Holy Ancestor of the Eternal Holy Land is in front of him. Isn't this his best chance to negotiate?
For a moment, Jiang Chen was silent, obviously weighing how to discuss this matter with the Holy Ancestor.
After all, the Holy Ancestor has such a high status, and the matter between him and Huang'er is a life-long matter of first-class importance to him and Huang'er, but to the Holy Ancestor, it may not be regarded as a big deal.
Therefore, Jiang Chen had to think twice about how to speak about this matter.
"Young man, our Eternal Holy Land has always been generous to our disciples. Your feelings for the Yan family girl can also be supported by the Holy Land. But the premise is that you must show enough potential to let us see that you are worthy of our efforts.
Support, even if it offends the Xiahou family, it doesn't matter."
Zi Chemin actually said these words to him at the beginning. But how to express this potential and what is considered enough? This standard is difficult to define.
Jiang Chen immediately asked: "Lord Holy Ancestor, I don't know how to define this potential? How far should this junior go in order to gain the recognition of the Holy Land and have the Holy Land fully support me?"
"Before this, there was no standard. However, now this Holy Ancestor can set a standard for you. Just listen."
Jiang Chen hurriedly said: "This junior is all ears."
"First, there is an Eternal River in our Eternal Holy Land. If you achieve enlightenment by the Eternal River, within half a year, you will be able to understand the laws of heaven and earth and obtain the Heavenly Talisman. You will have completed the first standard."
"Secondly, the geniuses of my Eternal Holy Land are not freeloaders. You must make enough contributions to the Holy Land. Within one year, your contribution value reaches one hundred thousand."
"Third, after completing the first and second conditions, I will personally conduct an evaluation on you. If you can pass the evaluation in person, from now on, you will be a direct descendant of this ancestor.
Even if your status cannot be equal to that of the three holy masters, it should still be equal to that of the elders of the Presbyterian Church. At that time, whatever you want to do, the Eternal Holy Land will naturally fully support you."
The three conditions, the first and the second, are both hard conditions.
The third one is relatively mysterious and highly subjective. How does one pass the assessment of the Holy Ancestor? What are the criteria for assessment?
Although Jiang Chen had doubts in his mind, he did not ask. He knew that as long as there was this set of standards, it would be easy to handle.
Jiang Chen is afraid that there are no standards.
"Okay, my Holy Ancestor's time is limited, young man, take care of yourself and don't waste your talents."
The divine consciousness of the Holy Ancestor appeared and disappeared suddenly.
Jiang Chen was stunned. After a moment, he laughed and said to himself: "With this rigid standard, it will be easy to handle. After half a year, you can understand the laws of heaven and earth and obtain the heavenly talisman?"
Jiang Chen is still confident about this. He feels that he should be able to do it. After all, his understanding of the world of the heavens in his previous life was not even one-tenth of what the Holy Ancestor did.
In addition to not being able to practice in his previous life, Jiang Chen's understanding of martial arts, although only on paper, was absolutely outstanding in terms of understanding ability.
Half a year is neither long nor short.
Jiang Chen asked himself, he was still 70 to 80% sure, and the Holy Ancestor specifically mentioned the Eternal River, as if this river should have a special meaning.
Therefore, Jiang Chen guessed that it might be more beneficial to enlightenment on the bank of the eternal river.
Of course, this is just Jiang Chen's guess.
As for the contribution value to the Holy Land reaching 100,000 within a year, Jiang Chen still has no idea. After all, he has only passed through Jiuqu Cloud Cave in the past two days and has just officially entered the sect. Regarding the specific matters of the sect,
, not particularly familiar with it yet.
Fortunately, at this time, Zi Chemin left and returned.
"Shao Yuan, Lord Saint Ancestor, are you gone?" Zi Chemin was outside the cave, still a little timid.
"Let's go. Elder Ziche, please come in."
When Zi Chemin heard what Jiang Chen said, he walked in.
"Elder Ziche, you are back just in time. I have something I want to ask you." Jiang Chen was still a little confused about these things.
Therefore, he wanted to find out more from Zi Chemin.
Zi Chemin was actually also curious about what the Holy Ancestor said to Jiang Chen, and he did not refuse at the moment: "Shao Yuan, if you have any doubts, feel free to ask me in the future. As long as I know and can tell you, I will tell you everything I know.
Everything is endless.”
Zi Chemin now admires this genius very much. He knows that when dealing with this young man, he can no longer regard himself as a benefactor who promotes him.
It is best to make friends with this young genius on an equal footing. This kind of genius is destined to be extraordinary and will definitely flourish in the future.
There is absolutely no harm in making friends with such a genius. There is no need to put on any airs of seniority, which is meaningless.
Jiang Chen immediately stated several standard conditions.
After hearing this, Zi Chemin was also in a daze. After a long time, he took a deep breath: "It takes half a year to understand the laws of heaven and earth and obtain the heavenly talisman? This half year is really short enough. Shao Yuan, let me say this
Well, at the peak of the Imperial Realm, you can reach the level of Heaven. Many people cannot break through in a hundred or hundreds of years. Some people even cannot break through in a lifetime. Half a year... this time is really short. You have to
Be mentally prepared. Of course, there is no limit to martial arts geniuses since ancient times. Maybe you have outstanding talent, and that is possible. Martial arts is never said to be impossible, but you must work hard and go all out. Believe it.
As long as your talent is seen by the Holy Ancestor, even if it is a little late, it should not be ineffective. The half-year appointment should be just an incentive for you, right?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Maybe, but after half a year of comprehending the world, I am still somewhat sure. But the second criterion, how is the contribution value of this holy land calculated?"
"The calculation of the sect's contribution value is very complicated. If you work in small quantities, you may not be able to accumulate one hundred thousand contribution points in ten years. To be honest, it is not easy to achieve this standard. After all, in one year,
Too short, too short.”
Zi Chemin actually felt sorry for Jiang Chen. In Zi Chemin's view, these two standards were too harsh and almost impossible to achieve.
At least from Zi Chemin's point of view, when he was young, he would have been blind when faced with these two conditions and standards, and it was absolutely impossible to meet them.
Breaking through the sky in half a year?
Achieve 100,000 contribution value in one year?
However, Zi Chemin felt that since it was the Holy Ancestor who set it for Shao Yuan, there must be His Majesty's reasons. The Holy Ancestor has great supernatural powers, maybe this standard was decided based on Shao Yuan's talent?
What Shao Yuan can't do may not be something he can't do.
Thinking of this, Zi Chemin felt relieved.
"As for the Eternal River, I can take you there. As for the contribution value of 100,000, you can go to the Hall of Merit, where there are specific explanations about the contribution value. For ordinary tasks, it will never reach the contribution value of 100,000. But
, there are also some relatively large tasks, or more difficult tasks, and the contribution value of a task can reach 100,000. However, most of these tasks are sects that have been backlogged for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years.
The tasks placed there are just decorations. Even the top leaders of the sect cannot complete them, let alone the geniuses of your younger generation."
As expected, Zi Chemin was able to tell everything he knew.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "I'll go to the Hall of Merit first to find out more about the Eternal River. I need to make some preparations before going."
"Well, you can arrange the time yourself." Zi Chemin nodded.
The Hall of Merit and Virtue is also considered a very important department in the Eternal Holy Land, and is no less powerful than the Alchemy Department headed by Zi Chemin.
Even, to a certain extent, the importance of the Hall of Merit and Virtue exceeds that of the Alchemy Department.
After all, the Hall of Merit is related to the contribution of everyone in the entire sect to the sect. It is also related to the normal operation of the entire holy land.
Under the leadership of Zi Chemin, Jiang Chen came to the Merit Hall.
The elder of the Hall of Merit and Virtue has a fairly harmonious relationship with Zi Chemin. Although they are not close friends, they are relatively familiar with each other.
Because both parties control important departments of the Holy Land, each may ask for help from the other, so the relationship between them is relatively harmonious.
The controller of the Hall of Merit and Virtue is also one of the top ten elders, named Gu Yunjin.
"I asked why the magpies were chirping so early in the morning. It turned out to be a visitor from Zixi Road, hahaha." Gu Yunjin seemed familiar.
The way he moves his hands and feet, his demeanor is very easy to make people feel close to him. It must be said that this kind of person is very good at dealing with others, and he is definitely a good dancer.
Zi Chemin smiled slightly and said: "On the order of the Holy Ancestor, I brought Shao Yuan to the Gongde Hall to learn about the contribution value. This son has just arrived, and many of the rules of our Holy Land are still a bit vague."
Gu Yunjin smiled enthusiastically and said: "Little friend Shao Yuan, you are so talented that you are the pride of our entire Holy Land. It is also an honor for Gu to be able to answer questions for such a genius. Maybe in fifty or a hundred years, we will be able to
We old guys have to look up to young geniuses like them!"
Zi Chemin smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Gu, please don't praise and kill young people."
"Haha, it's not praise, it's not flattery. This is Gu's intuition and Gu's best wishes. Only young people in our eternal holy land can thrive and become stronger and stronger if they continue to grow and take up the leading role."
Gu Yunjin was indeed very eloquent, and his words easily brought him and Zi Chemin closer together, as well as the distance between him and Jiang Chen.
Even Jiang Chen, although he felt that Gu Yunjin was too eloquent, he would not feel any ill feelings towards such a person.
After all, although these words are a bit exaggerated, the goodwill released is still very obvious.
