Wei Dawu has grown much taller, his former childishness has faded away, and he has become calmer, with a vague sense of familiarity between his brows and eyes.
He also didn't expect that the two of them would meet in this way after not seeing each other for three years.
He walked directly to Xu Chunniang, his attitude was very sincere, "Will you follow me to the inner sect? Retinue is very important to me, and the spiritual cultivation profession is not without its merits. What's more... you and I are fellow villagers, and we are closer than others.
.”
Xu Chunniang paused. She must go to the inner door, but she didn't want to enter in this way.
She thought about refusing the recruitment, but she didn't expect that the person recruiting her would be Wei Dawu.
When Wei Dawu saw that she did not agree immediately, the smile on his face faded slightly and took on a persuasive tone.
"The Immortal Sect is no better than ordinary people and has no resources for cultivation. It's just a waste of time. Considering the relationship between the two of us, as long as you try your best to do things for me, after I build the foundation, I will naturally not forget your help.
There is a huge difference between the inner door and the outer door, you wouldn’t want to just practice Qi for the rest of your life, right?”
Xu Chunniang naturally doesn't want to stop at Qi training, but she has her own way to go, rather than becoming someone else's vassal and exchanging allegiance for the opportunity to build a foundation!
She doesn't know what true intention is, but she doesn't want to force herself to do things she doesn't like.
Xu Chunniang raised her head and looked directly at the elder brother from the neighboring village who joined the Immortal Sect with her and took care of her on the flying boat.
"I want to enter the inner sect on my own strength. Didn't you say that, no matter it is the inner sect or the outer sect, our goal is to practice."
Wei Dawu's face was in a daze for a moment, had he ever said such a thing?
Maybe he was too ignorant at the time to say such a thing.
Not to mention the huge difference in resources between the inner sect and the outer sect, among the nine peaks of the inner sect, each peak has its own differences.
Except for Xiaoyao Peak, the most powerful main peak, Dan Peak, Qi Peak and Yushou Peak each have their own strengths and are considered better peaks.
As for Fu Feng, Thousand Machine Peak and Xuanjian Peak, their overall strength is much inferior. There are relatively fewer disciples joining these three peaks.
Baihua Peak is quite special. Although there are few people, it is good at using voodoo and its momentum in the inner sect cannot be underestimated.
However, Wuming Peak exists in name only. In recent years, almost no new disciples have joined Wuming Peak.
He came back to his senses and said calmly, "I take back these words now. Only after I entered the path of cultivating immortals did I realize how ignorant I was in the past.
You are now just like me before, just a frog trapped at the bottom of a well, with no chance to see the vastness of the outside world.
When you realize your own insignificance, you will use all means to make yourself stronger."
Xu Chunniang felt her heart become cold, her expression dimmed, and her joy of seeing her old friend again completely cooled down.
Precisely because she knew how insignificant she was, she kept working hard to move forward.
She thought that since Wei Dawu was elected into the sect from a young age with her, he would understand her persistence.
But he didn't expect that he would lose his original intention of cultivating Taoism so easily.
Xu Chunniang's emotions were very complicated. She was disappointed with Wei Dawu, but she also wanted to prove her firmness. However, she understood that they were no longer in the same boat.
She didn't want to explain anymore and said bluntly, "Brother Dawu, I'm sorry to tell you that I refuse to become your retinue."
Wei Dawu tried hard to persuade him for a long time, but when he heard these words, he became a little dissatisfied.
It was obvious that everything he did was for the sake of her immortality.
But she didn't appreciate it at all. How could she go far on the road of cultivation with such a stupid temperament?
If it were someone else standing here today, I'm afraid that person would have already happily accepted such a good thing, and there would be no need for him to waste so much effort and words.
Xu Chunniang made him misunderstand after all.
His face looked a little cold, "Have you really thought about it?"
"I've thought about it."
In the end, Wei Dawu chose another female disciple with outstanding performance.
He attached great importance to recruiting followers this time. Although Xu Chunniang's performance disappointed him, Wei Dawu was sensible and would not waste the number of followers indiscriminately.
These disciples standing on the stage are the most promising group among all the new disciples, and they will also be the help for him to gain a foothold in the inner sect in the future. There is no room for loss.
When other people saw this scene, they started talking one after another, with smiles on their faces as if they were watching a good show.
Even if Xu Chunniang didn't listen, she would know that they were all laughing at her for being ignorant of promotion and refusing to recruit inner disciples.
After all, among the more than one hundred inner disciples, Wei Dawu ranked thirty-seventh, and not everyone could catch his eye.
There are more people choosing to become followers, is this the right path?
It is difficult to practice Taoism in the outer sect. Every year, there are always some "open-minded" disciples who refuse to be recruited and take this so-called shortcut. They want to give it a try in the outer sect competition!
She is like this, and so is Su Chen. There are also some senior sisters and brothers in the past who have made similar decisions.
People like them have chosen a more difficult path, but as long as they overcome thorns and forge ahead, they can go further and more steadily on this road of seeking the truth.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and warned herself in her heart: "Even a frog at the bottom of a well has the right to jump out of the well! They all think it's impossible for me, but I want to show them that the path that others can't take doesn't mean I can't!"
At this moment, Xu Chunniang felt that her determination to cultivate was stronger than ever.
She didn't know why she practiced in the past, but she was lucky enough to be selected by the Xiaoyao Sect.
After joining the sect, she thought about cultivating well and not being kicked out by the sect. It would be better if she could enter the inner sect.
If you ask Xu Chunniang why she wants to practice hard and enter the inner gate, she won't even be able to answer.
But now, she has made her goal clear: to jump out of the well and see the wider world.
Let everyone see that she can do it!
Even if this road is difficult and dangerous, she will only face the difficulties and advance triumphantly; even if she dies and her soul is destroyed on the road of seeking the Tao, she will have no regrets!
Xu Chunniang's heart completely calmed down. As her mood changed, her cultivation gradually showed signs of loosening. This was a sign before a breakthrough.
But now was not a good time to make a breakthrough. Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the restless spiritual energy in her body.
Soon there were only two people left among the fifty people on the stage, and it was Xu Chunniang and Su Chen who refused the invitation.
The two of them looked at each other, smiled, and felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
Manager Mu glanced at the two of them and showed a rare smile, "Since you two have rejected the solicitation, don't stand up here and get down."
"What about our assessment results?" Xu Chunniang asked quickly.
