"Brother Bai is so humble. I heard from my elders in the family that the Qingfeng Sect's most important factor in recruiting disciples is their potential. Many children from cultivating immortal families are not as good as you at this age."
There was a female cultivator on the right side of Old Man Tong. She had not put on makeup, and her face still showed a little childishness. Her petite figure outlined amazing curves under her robe, and she kept staring at Bai Zichen with her little face in her hands.
Jiang Shuming's family background is apparently the best among the four casual cultivators. The Jiang family has encountered immortality since her great-grandfather. Although she has always been among the low-level Qi refining cultivators, every generation of descendants can be found with spiritual roots.
, and gradually formed a small family.
The one with the highest level of cultivation in the Jiang family is Jiang Shu's grandfather, who is at the sixth level of Qi refining. Counting Jiang Shu, there are seven monks in total.
Without a foundation-building overhaul, it cannot be considered a formal cultivating family. Families like the Jiang family are often called casual cultivating families.
Because they are close by blood, their relationship is closer than that of those cultivating families. They stick together, and life is much easier than that of individual cultivators who work alone.
The Jiang family has built up a certain network of contacts from generation to generation, and now they are engaged in the talisman paper business. They purchase spiritual grass from many low-level casual cultivators, beat it themselves into talisman paper, and resell it to merchants or cultivating families to earn spiritual stones.
Not to mention being rich and powerful, but basic cultivation resources can be guaranteed.
For example, Jiang Shucai, who is on the second level of Qi Refining, also carries two low-grade protective magic weapons with her, which were given to her by the elders in the family who had advanced in cultivation and replaced them.
"Don't talk about the outer disciples, you might have the opportunity to become an inner disciple in the future. That would be a real big shot!"
Jiang Shucai is on the second level of Qi Refining, and of course he doesn't expect to become a disciple of the Qingfeng Sect. He came here mainly to broaden his horizons.
She was so excited that her face turned red. Thinking of Bai Zichen becoming an inner disciple, she waved her fist and her voice became louder.
"Hmph! Those guys are talking nonsense there, what is the concept of being an inner disciple of the Qingfeng Sect. Even if you can't become a true disciple, if you are released to the outside world and start taking care of things immediately, there is a high chance that you will become a deacon of the sect and be in charge of a general affairs."
Sitting at the next table were two monks with chins and beards, wearing animal skins. One had a scar on his forehead extending to the corner of his eye, and the other was a few years younger, with the same sinister face and full of disdain.
The two look somewhat similar, and one can tell at a glance that they are monks who often travel to Montenegro and have experience in fighting monsters. The one who spoke just now is his younger brother.
For casual cultivators in Heishan County, the deacon of Qingfeng Sect is indeed a big shot, and one word can change their destiny.
"All cats and dogs are here to take part in the assessment. No wonder there is no room for people on the nearby hills. They don't even look at how much they weigh. There are even old men who are about to die!"
"Hey, why are the two fellow Taoists angry? Jiang Xiaomei is the first to go out and doesn't understand the value of the inner disciples. Everyone wants to join the Sect. At this time, if there are disciples of the sect nearby, they will have a dispute and be deprived of the entrance examination.
The qualifications are bad."
Old man Tong has become a mature man, and he quickly stood up to smooth things over without looking angry at all.
These arrogant brothers are not easy to mess with at first glance. They are the kind of practical monks. Old Tong has been dealing with Lingmi all his life. Even his personal magical weapon is a spiritual hoe used to turn over the soil. He has almost never fought with anyone.
, feeling a little timid.
However, although he was not optimistic about Bai Zichen becoming an inner disciple, the chances of becoming an outer disciple were quite high, so he was willing to form a good relationship.
Even if you become a disciple of a sect, you don't have to worry about losing your life like you do in the outside world, but the struggle and ostracism among the lower-level servants will definitely be inevitable.
If I have an outside disciple to take care of me, my life will be much easier.
After hearing what Old Man Tong said, Brother Barbarian glared hard, said nothing more, and turned around to whisper.
Jiang Shu was frightened by the brothers, his eyes were filled with mist, his eyebrows drooped, and he shrank like a frightened little rabbit.
As if nothing happened, Old Man Tong picked two interesting things that he had heard from others about the last time the Qingfeng Gate opened its gate, and told them vividly to make the atmosphere at the table a little normal.
Bai Zichen pretended to listen on the surface, and his eyes turned around the arrogant brothers unnoticeably, memorizing their appearance firmly.
He had a keen sense of consciousness, and just now he clearly sensed a murderous intention rising from the two of them. He secretly kept peeping with his sense of consciousness and heard the two brothers' voice transmission clearly.
The two of them actually came up with the idea to kidnap Jiang Shu and kill themselves when the Qingfeng sect finished recruiting disciples and a large number of casual cultivators who had not passed the examination were leaving. When the situation was chaotic, they kidnapped Jiang Shu.
From what they said, this was not the first time they had done this kind of calamity practice.
Otherwise, the idea of killing and plundering would not arise just because a word does not suit your ears.
"One is at the sixth level of Qi refining, and the other is at the fifth level. He is also a monk with many years of experience in fighting monsters... On the surface, it seems that he can easily deal with the rookies at the fourth level of Qi refining. But as a calamity cultivator, he still dares to come and participate in the Qing Dynasty.
During the Fengmen sect’s entrance examination, I really don’t know whether to praise them for their great ambitions or for their ignorance of life and death!”
What the spiritual consciousness heard next was not very nutritious. There was a new Kun Xiu who specialized in the skin and meat business. He was very charming. I must try it next time.
If the two brothers become disciples of the Qingfeng Sect, they must take revenge on which enemy, etc., and let them know the consequences of offending the two wolves of the Que family.
"The two wolves of the Que family, right? I'll turn you into two ghosts of the Que family later..."
Bai Zichen withdrew his consciousness and started chatting with Old Man Tong.
Although Old Man Tong has a low level of cultivation, he has lived for so many years and has been immersed in the world of immortality. He is quite knowledgeable about the gossip.
Even the Liu family, who were new to Heishan County, had a conflict with the Fire Phoenix Mo family, and they could tell the story of the conflict.
Before Bai Zichen left the family, he heard the patriarch mention it once.
The Liu family originally made a living in the weapon-refining business, and there were several second-level weapon-refining masters in the family. Naturally, they wanted to return to their old business after arriving in Heishan County.
But when it comes to refining weapons, firepower is extremely important. The ground fire suitable for refining must be strong and stable, and it is difficult to find one that meets the requirements.
Finally, we found an underground fire cave in a hilltop. With a little modification, we could trigger the underground fire and build a weapon refining hall.
However, Fire Phoenix Mo jumped out and said that this hilltop was within the scope of the Mojialing Land and no one else was allowed to invade it.
It was a matter of fundamental survival for the Liu family. Wherever they were willing to back down, they took action on the spot.
Up to now, the two families have fought openly and secretly for several times, and each has injured many clan members.
Old Man Tong looked like he knew what was going on, and at the same time said that if he had been the mastermind of the Fire Phoenix Mo family, he would have driven away the Liu family and occupied the land.
Bai Zichen was happy to listen to the old man bragging and complimenting him casually. The old man was so happy that he felt like he had met a close friend and continued to tell all the news he had pieced together.
…
Two days later, the Qingfengmen Mountain Gate opened wide, and a continuous blue light rose into the sky, turning the entire sky into blue.
Sect disciples filed out one after another, organizing thousands of casual cultivators into several square formations, waiting for the assessment.
At the same time, a monk slowly flew into the sky, exuding the pressure of a foundation-building monk.
"The Qingfeng Sect is opening its gate this time to recruit talented people. Anyone who feels they meet the requirements will come forward as instructed. If they pass the examination, they will become a disciple of the sect!"
The sound of the blessed spell spread far away, shocking all the casual cultivators. The big test that will determine their fate for the rest of their lives has finally arrived.
