The huge building ship was sailing in the waves, but Jiang Li, who was staying in the cabin, could hardly feel any shaking or vibration.
During these days, it was rare for him to stop practicing the Tiger Kung Fu and take a relaxing nap.
One day later, the hull of the ship shook slightly, and the large ship slowly docked. There were exclamations from the deck. Jiang Li and Yan Hong said hello and walked out of the cabin.
When you reach your goal, you will see an island surrounded by mist, with two strange peaks connected to the sky in the morning glow.
From a distance, you can seem to see several cranes with sword lights flying through the clouds and mist, giving the impression of an immortal flying in the clouds.
When a group of immortal cultivators saw this scene, their eyes began to shine.
After the gangway was lowered, they all eagerly disembarked and walked along a cobblestone road to the venue.
"How's it going? Have you heard any news?"
Jiang Li finally discovered that Yan Hong had a special passion and talent for being worldly.
While he was lying on the bed too lazy to move, Yan Hong had already led nineteen subordinates to collect intelligence.
Next, is the important moment to choose the sect of cultivating immortals.
If nothing else happens, Jiang Li will live in that sect for a long time in the future. Joining a sect is not like looking for a job. You can't quit if you want.
In order to have better prospects and development in the future, it is natural to consider and evaluate from many aspects.
The first thing to look at is the size and future development trend of the sect.
The second thing to look at is that the sect provides its disciples with monthly benefits. No matter how good the sect is, it is in vain if it does not have this point.
The third point to look at is the promotion and development of an individual in this sect. If a sect is completely controlled by certain families and other forces, then ordinary disciples will not have much of a future no matter how outstanding their performance is.
.
These three points are relatively important.
In addition, factors such as the overall strength of the sect you join, areas of expertise, geographical location, sect culture, and the attributes of your major skills, etc., also need to be taken into consideration.
Naturally, Shengxian Pavilion will not give you this information, because their goal is to get more disciples to join Shengxian Pavilion, and they will not go out of their way to promote their competitors.
However, this is not completely impossible. The more than a thousand preparatory disciples who have endured two years of hard labor are their best choice.
Although they have not been given the skills to formally cultivate themselves into immortals, they are still just a group of mortals.
But after living in the world of immortality as a handyman for two years, they must know this basic information with their ears and eyes.
Especially as Shengxian Pavilion is a "service industry", everyone from the pavilion master to the handyman must keep the names of some powerful sects and the powerful monks among them that cannot be offended.
So after Yan Hong's efforts, a booklet introducing the sect's power in the Dazhong Mountain area soon reached Jiang Li's hands.
"There are a total of fifty-two sects participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference this time."
"There are four sects that I would recommend in the mid-term. They are the largest and most powerful in the Dazhong Mountain area, and they are also the choice of most disciples in every conference."
"However, some reliable small and medium-sized sects, in order to recruit more new disciples, often provide better treatment to help them practice."
"Perhaps in some small sects, with our qualifications, we can directly enter the inner sect after entering. It is not impossible to even become a direct disciple and be fully cultivated."
"Come and take a look and help me with my advice."
Yan Hong flipped through another identical booklet with a confused look on his face, as if he was a top student who had won the top prize in the exam and was wondering whether it would be better to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University.
Jiang Li was a little speechless, but with the other party's high-grade spiritual root qualifications, I believe no sect would refuse.
"First of all, those pheasant sects must not be chosen. If there is any phenomenon where the inheritance of incomplete skills is interrupted, we will have no place to cry."
He flipped through it again and found that the sect on the first page seemed to have a lot of annotations.
"This Shushan Five Elements Peak looks very good. It has a small number of disciples, but its sect is the strongest among the four. It has the inheritance of the Shushan Sword Sect of the ancient immortal sect."
"Every disciple who joins will also receive a natal flying sword given by the sect. This treatment is much better than other sects."
Jiang Li pointed to the first name on the booklet and said.
"That's right, that's right. The Five Elements Peak of Shu Mountain is said to be the well-deserved leader of the righteous path in Dazhong Mountain, but their requirements for recruiting disciples are also very special."
"Not only must the spiritual root level be above mid-level, but it also requires a special talent called sword heart. Otherwise, even disciples with top-grade spiritual roots will be rejected by them."
"Hiss! Even the best spiritual roots will be rejected? What kind of talent does this sword heart have?"
Jiang Li couldn't help but be surprised. According to common sense, the average cultivation speed of top-grade spiritual roots is three times that of high-grade spiritual roots, and nine times that of mid-grade spiritual roots.
The Five Elements Peak of Shushan actually turned away the best spiritual roots. It was really willful.
"Okay, in this case we can also go over and test whether we have the sword heart talent, but we still have to think about which sect we should join if we fail."
In addition to the Five Elements Peak of Shushan Mountain, the other three preferred sects are Cihang Temple, Bailian Mountain and Sutra Valley.
Cihang Temple, as you can tell from its name, is a Buddhist sect that specializes in physical training and self-cultivation. Like the Five Elements Peak, it focuses on the way of killing and has extraordinary combat power.
Bailian Mountain is an auxiliary sect that is good at refining weapons and alchemy. They may not be good at fighting, but half of the magical elixir weapons in Dazhong Mountain come from this sect.
When Jiang Li saw the last Sutra Valley for the first time, he thought it might be a very ancient sect, which was why he had the confidence to call it Sutra Sutra Valley.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the youngest sect among the four, with a history of only more than two hundred years. It was said to be led by a group of casual cultivators. The cause seemed to be due to the development of an ancient ruins. How to start from their point of view?
It is impossible to know through low-end information channels.
As he spoke, the venue for the Immortal Ascension Conference was already in sight.
This is a paradise-like place, with large and small wooden courtyards forming the appearance of a small town.
The venue was already crowded at this time, and many preparatory disciples, who were less than sixteen years old like Jiang Li, with excited faces, were walking in and out of the many courtyards of this small town.
"Okay! Young ladies! Welcome to the Immortal Ascension Conference! You will decide your future sects here, and follow your senior brothers and elders back to your respective sects to practice."
"I, Fuzhong, can only send you here. Now you can enter the venue on your own and choose a sect."
"In the venue, each courtyard represents a sect, and at the entrance of each courtyard is a stone tablet with information about those sects."
"You can check every stone tablet, but I give you a piece of advice. Once you join the sect, you cannot regret it. Any betrayal will lead to the sect being liquidated."
"Last point, if you want to join Shengxian Pavilion, please go to the seventh courtyard on the left."
After Fuzhong took one last look at everyone, he quietly disappeared from the spot.
The preparatory disciples entered the venue on their own and mingled with the preparatory disciples who had arrived in the previous batch.
Jiang Li and the others, with nineteen people behind them, headed straight for the courtyard where the Five Elements Peak of Shushan Mountain was located with a clear purpose.
There were indeed many people gathered there. After all, the reputation of the No. 1 Immortal Sect in Dachhong Mountain was there, and many people wanted to give it a try.
I saw a young man holding a rusty long sword pointing straight ahead, and then a young man with an arrogant expression gently placed a piece of white paper on the edge of the sword.
"The blank paper is not broken, it is unqualified!"
After saying this, the young man holding the sword put down the rusty sword dejectedly and returned to the crowd.
"This test seems to require people to cut paper with a rusty sword without wielding the sword."
Jiang Li was a little confused, what kind of approach is this?
Could it be that the rusty sword has a different origin?
An appraisal skill was thrown out skillfully.
[Name: Rusty Iron Sword]
[Type: Weapon]
[Grade: None]
[Note: A useless piece of garbage]
This seems to be just an ordinary rusty sword.
"Senior brother, we really don't understand what this test is about. Please show me how to pass it."
Jiang Li and Yan Hong looked on. After several more attempts without success, Jiang Li finally couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
The Five Elements Peak sword cultivator opened his eyelids slightly, glanced at Jiang Li and snorted coldly, as if he was dissatisfied with Jiang Li's questioning.
However, he still reached out and pulled out a rusty sword beside him, held it in front of him, then picked up a piece of white paper and placed it lightly on the blade of the rusty sword.
The paper fell slowly. When it came into contact with the long sword, the paper that should have been caught by the blunt blade actually slipped down without any delay, splitting into two pieces in mid-air and falling with the wind.
this..!
Jiang Li was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face. This was not in line with common sense.
"A rusty sword does not rust your heart, this is a must-have quality for every sword cultivator."
The surprised expressions of Jiang Li and others fell into the eyes of the senior brother, which meant that he was very successful in pretending to be cool this time. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised and he was in a good mood, and he even explained a few words.
"Senior brother, can I try?"
Jiang Li took the long sword and shook the sword violently. With a clanging sword sound, large rust spots on the sword were shaken off, making the rusty sword look much better.
"Brother, come on!"
The sword cultivator's eyes twitched and he was very speechless. How could you be so confident when you cheated in front of your face?
But he didn't care, he picked up the paper and put it on.
As expected, Jiang Li, who had long been lost in the glitz of the world, had no connection with the sword at all. Shaking off the rust stains could not replace sharpening the sword, so the paper stayed on the sword's edge without any suspense, which meant that he had failed the test.
Then Yan Hong also went on stage to test it, but he also didn't have the talent, so the two of them could only leave here in despair.
