At midnight, I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After half an hour, I finished work and went back to the other courtyard to practice martial arts.
At 4:40, he rushed to the kitchen for the second time to prepare lunch. After an hour, he stopped working and went back to the other courtyard to practice martial arts.
At 2:00 a.m., I rushed to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the third time. I finished work at two o'clock, then returned to the other courtyard to take a nap for an hour, and then practiced alchemy until dawn.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
On this day, Lin Ansheng finished counting the spiritual stones he earned from selling small pot dishes, kept his own share, handed over the share to the sect to the accountant, and handed the rest to the manager.
Xia Wanzhu put away the spirit stone and asked casually: "Have you moved to another courtyard outside the outer gate?"
Lin Ansheng nodded: "Didn't you say that the problem with my slow cultivation speed is that I work behind closed doors, lacking the guidance of my teacher, lack of exchanges and discussions with fellow disciples, and lack of practical experience? I thought about it carefully and found it very reasonable, so I asked
The two senior sisters from the outer sect discussed it and rented a separate courtyard together."
"In this way, you can communicate and discuss with the two senior sisters on weekdays. If you encounter any problems in cultivation, you can also ask the two senior sisters for advice. As for actual combat experience."
Lin Ansheng paused and said sarcastically: "I don't dare to deny the grounding order you issued. I'll wait until three months later."
It can be said that becoming an inner disciple is the goal and pursuit of every outer disciple.
The entire election lasts for one week.
The inner sect's general election is held every five years, and it is related to whether the sect can prosper and even flourish, so it is naturally of great importance.
After the exam was completed for an hour and a half in the morning, the test papers were sent to the inner sect, where hundreds of inner sect disciples were responsible for marking the papers. Each paper was scored by three inner sect disciples, and the average was taken as the literary test score.
Although the medicinal properties of the finished product are not even 50%, it is far away from the boundary of failed products: 60% medicinal properties, and it is a failure among failures.
One can imagine the intensity of competition.
Xia Wanzhu glanced at him and said calmly: "I have something to say first. If you decide to participate in the inner sect election, the ban can be postponed later, and you can also be granted leave. If you have any doubts about your cultivation, I can also give you some advice.
."
Outer disciples only need to train at the fifth level and above to participate in the audition. If the number exceeds 3,000, there will be one civil test and one martial arts test. The top 500 with a comprehensive score will enter the re-selection. Another 300 people will be eliminated, and the remaining two will be selected.
100 finalists.
Another example is that more than twenty deacons take turns giving classes, and all outer disciples can attend the lectures, and everyone learns the same things.
Xia Wanzhu waved her jade hand and watched Lin Ansheng turn around and leave without any regrets. The disappointment in her heart inexplicably deepened.
But today, she broke the rules, but she got the result.
He realized the disadvantages of working behind closed doors and made changes, but still gave up the opportunity to participate in the inner-door election. This made Xia Wanzhu increasingly convinced that Lin Ansheng's reason for giving up was that he felt that he could not be elected and did not want to be embarrassed and conspicuous.
Whether working behind closed doors is a drawback in martial arts practice is not absolute, it just varies from person to person.
Originally, after hearing Lin Ansheng say that he moved to another courtyard to change the situation of working behind closed doors, Xia Wanzhu was a little relieved and felt that Ruzi could be taught. She even offered to give him some advice if he had any doubts about his cultivation.
"Okay." Lin Ansheng agreed, and then said: "Sister Zhu, there's nothing wrong. I'm going to eat first."
Hi, do you still need to consider this?
"Sister Zhu, forget it. There are many opportunities for experience. At worst, the two senior sisters will take over the sect's mission in the future, and I will go with them."
Otherwise, it would be unfair competition for the outer disciples, and the inner disciples would also have two masters at the same time, which would disrupt the order of the sect.
Xia Wanzhu felt disappointed. If her love for talents before was just wrongly given to others, then she was really hurt now.
For example, the Outer Sect Library is open to all Outer Sect disciples, and they can enter it at most twice a month and stay for up to three hours each time.
Based on the past, only about fifty people will eventually be favored by the martial arts elders and become inner disciples.
Li Yun is also a handyman disciple. He is a few years older than Lin Ansheng. He joined the chef a year earlier and is at the fifth level of body training like Lin Ansheng.
"Since you have made your decision, I won't force you. I will give Li Yun a recommendation spot."
After that, the topic changed: "I'll give you ten days to think about it. Today is the tenth day. How do you think about it?"
Choose fifty from three thousand, sixty to one.
For another example, when a sect issues a task, anyone can take it as long as they agree with the conditions and follow the first-come, first-served principle.
The outer gate and the inner gate are separated by half a mountain, and their weight in the sect is extremely different.
Five hours later, the results of the literary test were announced at the end of Xu Shi.
The Miscellaneous Sect can become a spiritual sect with a high reputation among the people in Mo Country and several surrounding countries. In addition to recruiting disciples regardless of birth, only based on whether they agree with the standards, there is also a very important point, which is to provide the outer disciples with the best possible conditions.
Level playing field.
And once you enter the inner gate, your worth is ten times more.
And a person who loses the courage to challenge and face failure, even if he retains a competitive spirit, will never be able to go very far on the road of martial arts.
Another week has passed.
The factors that affect the differences between people outside the sect cannot be controlled by miscellaneous sects, but within the sect, everyone is treated equally.
At the same time, the day for the inner election has arrived as scheduled.
In the following days, he successively refined several finished products, the one with the highest medicinal properties reaching 54%.
According to the rules of the sect, the martial arts practice of inner and outer disciples is the responsibility of the martial arts hall. Non-martial arts elders and deacons, especially elders, are not allowed to teach disciples in private, let alone accept disciples.
After Lin Ansheng continued to burn more than 300 first-grade spiritual stones, he finally refined a finished product for the first time.
What to consider?
Lin Ansheng was stunned for a moment, and his mind went around a few times, and then he remembered that Xia Wanzhu recommended him to participate in the inner election. Although he did not insist on it after being rejected by him, he still left a trail and gave him ten days to think about it carefully.
Give a final answer.
But it was a crucial step taken.
There are three questions in the essay test on the first day. The first question is about the personal experience of breaking through any realm. The second question is about the experience of any trial experienced after entering the outer sect. The last question is about the comprehensive experience of martial arts.
.
The first two days are auditions, the two days are re-elections, and the last three days are final selections.
This is why, in the past three years, Xia Wanzhu has never given any guidance to Lin Ansheng on martial arts training, she just keeps silently following the rules.
Qin Feng scored 62 points and ranked 1,523, Qin Qianqian scored 71 points and ranked 417, Xu Le scored 79 points and ranked 129, Gu
Changning scored 83 points, ranking 77th, and Shi Yurou scored 89 points, ranking fifth.
Among the comprehensive scores in the audition, the essay score accounts for 30%, while the top 50 scores can account for 40%, and the top 10 scores can account for 50%.
Entering the top five, it can be said that Shi Yurou has almost locked in the re-election spot in advance.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Li Yun, who was recommended by the General Manager, also scored 71 points in the literary test. Due to his low level of martial arts, he ranked ahead of Qin Qianqian, ranking 401.
