Chapter 47 There is also a lot of knowledge in farming
In each formation of casual cultivators, there is a Qingfeng Sect deacon and several disciples, who announce the assessment conditions and precautions.
Bai Zichen stayed behind and listened briefly.
To sum it up, if someone has double intentions and tries to conceal his identity and sneak into the Qingfeng Sect, once he is found out, his soul will be destroyed.
With the deacon's order, the assessment officially began.
The first thing to be assessed is the large number of handyman disciples. As for the outer sect disciples, many of them have been pre-decided. There are high-quality immortal seedlings recommended by Qingfeng sect disciples from various places, or young disciples sent by various immortal cultivating families.
For these people, the assessment of outer disciples is just a formality.
As for casual cultivators wanting to become outer sect disciples, there was still a chance in previous years. The number of applicants this year has doubled, and the average level of the newly added monks is not low. It may not be that easy for black mountain cultivators to become outer sect disciples.
The first person in line to go up was a short and fat young man. He walked cautiously to a bronze mirror that was used to test his cultivation. As he stood there, the deacon of Qingfengmen fired a spell, and the bronze mirror quickly displayed this person's information.
.
"Age twenty-six, four spiritual roots, third level of Qi refining...Among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, are there any you are good at?"
This bronze mirror was refined by the elders of the Qingfeng Sect's Weapon Refining Hall. It is a low-grade spiritual weapon, but it has no effect of killing enemies and protecting yourself. Its only function is to quickly identify age, cultivation level, and spiritual roots, but it is only effective for monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
.
"Returning to the deacon, I have been practicing martial arts very hard and have never practiced any skills..."
The short and fat young man was asked by the deacon of Qingfengmen. He was sweating profusely and stammered.
"Okay, let's get down."
The middle-aged deacon waved his hand, not intending to talk more, and motioned for the next person to come forward.
Before the gate of the mountain was opened, Elder Ni had told several of their deacons that the standards for recruiting disciples would be greatly improved this year.
Anyway, there are only one hundred and twenty outer disciples. The middle-aged deacon glanced at the black and crowded phalanx of casual cultivators in the distance, and took a sip of spiritual tea with a relaxed expression.
A series of casual cultivators were eliminated in the first stage of bronze mirror observation, making Lu Song's nervous hands entangled together and rubbing back and forth.
"Little friend Lu, there's no need to be nervous. I'll go up there and explore the way for you."
Old Tong patted Lu Song on the shoulder and walked out first.
"Age fifty-nine, five spiritual roots, third level of Qi refining..."
The middle-aged deacon looked at the information revealed on the bronze mirror and spiritual weapon, raised his forehead and sighed.
"At your age, you still have to take the entrance examination...that's all, tell me about your other abilities."
"Master Deacon, this old man has only been farming all his life... When he was young, he planted mortal rice in the countryside. After cultivating as an immortal, he worked as a spiritual farmer. He has planted three kinds of spiritual grass: Yangyan grass, Xuanyin grass and bitter lotus leaf.
There are two kinds of blood ginseng rice and red light rice, two meters each. The harvest of spiritual grass can reach the normal level in the market, and the harvest of spiritual rice can exceed the market level by 20%..."
"I also took care of ten acres of spiritual fields by myself. What to plant and how to arrange the spiritual fields were all left to me... In the past ten years, I have earned hundreds of spiritual stones for my family."
The more Mr. Tong talked, the more confident he became. He had spent his whole life farming without any inheritance and just relied on his own specialization to become an official spiritual planter.
The originally flattering and wretched face, now talking eloquently, actually looked a bit virtuous.
"The spiritual planter has experience in planting many kinds of spiritual grass and spiritual rice. He can even distinguish spiritual energy and manipulate spiritual fields..."
The middle-aged deacon became very serious from his helplessness at the beginning. If everything Old Man Tong said was true, this man could already be regarded as a first-level high-grade spiritual planter, and even touched the edge of a second-level spiritual planter.
"You are telling the truth...please tell me your origins and the general trajectory of your life over the years."
The deacon originally wanted to inquire about the authenticity of the spiritual plant, but after thinking about it, since he is a casual cultivator in Heishan County and has many years of experience in taking care of spiritual grounds for others, it will be clear to Qingfeng Sect once he investigates.
You can't fake it at all.
Old Man Tong truthfully reported his place of origin and his activities in recent years.
The middle-aged deacon took the detailed resume of Old Tong copied by the disciple next to him, and nodded with satisfaction: "If everything you said is true, you have entered my monastery and can be regarded as a handyman disciple."
"However, the official handyman disciple identity token and supporting items will not be issued until the sect has conducted an inspection. The answer will be available within three days at most."
The middle-aged deacon's tone was much gentler. Although he was just a handyman disciple, those who could earn spiritual stones for the sect were much more popular than those handyman disciples who only knew how to fight and show off their ferocity and did not have much cultivation potential.
When Old Man Tong comes to Qingfeng Sect like this, he can play a greater role. It is by no means as simple as taking care of a few acres of spiritual land in the outside world.
Hearing the middle-aged deacon's affirmation, Old Man Tong's face turned red. He asked twice in disbelief. When he received the confirmation, he burst into tears with excitement.
"It's done, I'm done...Old man, I have finally become a disciple of the sect. You can't bully me anymore..."
Old Tong wiped his tears and cried and laughed.
None of the casual cultivators in the audience laughed at me. They all felt the same way. Life as a casual cultivator in Montenegro was indeed too difficult!
Otherwise, it is said that becoming a servant disciple of the Qingfeng Sect is equivalent to leaping over the Dragon Sect.
Seeing that Old Tong successfully passed the examination, Jiang Shu jumped up with joy, and her face turned red.
"Brother Bai, Brother Lu, Old Man Tong has passed. He has become a disciple of the Qingfeng Sect. This is great... Hey, where is Brother Bai?"
Jiang Shu wanted to celebrate with his two companions, but found that Lu Song was the only one around him, and Brother Bai, whom he had a good impression of, was nowhere to be seen.
"You who were here just now, have you gone to other phalanxes to try to assess the outer disciples..."
Looking around, he couldn't find any trace of this little brother Bai whom he had known for only a few days. Jiang Shu felt a little sour and his interest dropped.
The passing of the first handyman disciple, an old man with an unspectacular appearance, inspired the fighting spirit of the casual cultivators in the field, and they all crowded forward to let the bronze mirror and spiritual weapon observe the body.
However, after Old Tong, there was only one among the dozens of people who had served as a fourth-level Qi Refining monk in a trading firm in Fang City for many years. He passed the examination and became a handyman disciple.
This middle-aged monk who served in court can determine the efficacy of any magical weapon, talisman, elixir or herb at a glance, and he is a good expert in appraising and appraising treasures.
The middle-aged deacon thought about it again and again. This ability is purely based on experience and does not count as treasure appraisal. It is not included in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.
But when the time comes for such a talent, the sect will always use it, and with a stroke of a pen, he will be passed on.
When it was Lu Song's turn to take the stage, the thirty-one-year-old, four-spiritual root, and fourth-level Qi refining bronze mirror body observation result came out. The middle-aged deacon thought about it again and again, and finally gave it a to-be-determined result.
At this age and with this level of cultivation, there is no need to think about building a foundation. Even in the later stages of Qi refining, it all depends on luck.
Among the outer disciples of Qingfeng Sect, any one of them is more valuable to train than Lu Song.
He has no other skills, which actually goes against Qingfeng Sect’s current direction of recruiting handyman disciples.
But the middle-aged deacon thought that Lu Song was not too old yet, had cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and could be more than one person to run errands. He would see if the quota of handyman disciples was sufficient before making the final decision.
