At the same time, the elders were also having heated discussions.
"This group of disciples are all good, and they are all excellent in character. Should the allocation between the inner and outer sects be based on their respective qualifications?" a gray-haired elder suggested.
"That won't work, Jiyuan, don't forget, our Huayang Sect has always put xinxing first. If we let the disciples know that when there is not much difference in xinxing level, we distinguish the identities of the inner and outer sects based on their qualifications, I'm afraid it will be harmful to them.
The state of mind will be affected." Yaofeng, the fifth elder who had warned the disciples before, retorted.
"First of all, the division between the inner and outer sects this time is not permanent. If someone is dissatisfied, as long as they perform well in the exam, they have a chance to enter the inner sect. What's more, if this affects the state of mind, it means that we are not teaching well." Three
Elder Jiyuan insisted on his opinion.
"But Yaofeng is right. These disciples are just building foundations. If they cannot feel the fairness of the sect when they first enter the sect, it will not be conducive to the cultivation of their sense of belonging in the future." The fourth elder is elegant and has profound facial features.
Yong Ping supported Yaofeng's opinion, "It's better to use the time they left the illusion. There were 300 people who passed through the illusion this time. According to the rules, they will be divided in half, and the first 150 will enter the inner gate."
"What the Fourth Senior Sister said is true." Yaofeng nodded in agreement.
"This is not appropriate. Everyone's mental state of illusion is different. Depending on their current cultivation level, it may be difficult or easy. If you rely solely on the speed of breaking through the illusion, then it is very likely that people without cultivation level will enter the inner sect. Those who have already
Is it fair that disciples who have cultivated to the foundation level can only be assigned to the outer sect?" Ji Yuan said.
"This..." This situation is not impossible. Yaofeng hesitated. He couldn't help but turn around and look at the stone tablet where Li was quietly standing aside.
This stone tablet shows rows of names. Each person's name is black, and only the top ten names are marked in gold. There is a line below these names, and the end of the line is marked with 'A'.
Ji Yuan also followed Yaofeng's eyes and looked over, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.
This stone tablet is a scoring tablet that connects to the illusion. The results of every disciple who has passed through the illusion will be displayed through the scoring tablet. The scores on the scoring tablet are divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D. Each grade has its own score.
Divided into two levels: 'upper and lower'.
In each assessment, those who can reach the second level must be able to pass the test. Those with the first level become inner disciples, and those with the first level become direct disciples.
Therefore, the elders say they are here for assessment, but in fact they only need to divide the disciples according to the levels on the stone tablets. The task is very easy, and you can also get together with your fellow disciples to chat and take a look at the illusions of the juniors. So every time
The job of evaluating elders is very popular.
But this year is different. All the disciples who participated in the test this year were judged to be Grade A.
Are they all going to be admitted to the inner sect? No, the sect has regulations. If this happens, they must be divided in half, half to the inner sect and half to the outer sect.
Huo Qingying stood with her hands folded. Among the ten sect elders, there are nine in office. He ranks ninth. However, four elders are needed to evaluate the elders. He is not strong enough. He did not compete with these old guys this time. Now
It's quite a bit of schadenfreude.
"Senior brothers and sisters, the headmaster asked me to come and inquire about the situation. How about you sort them out quickly so that I can go back and deliver the work?"
"If Junior Brother Huo is too busy, why not think about what kind of Taoist name you will use in the future." Yaofeng saw Huo Qingying's gloating look and wanted to fix him, but the occasion was not right, so she spoke
Then he inserted a knife into Huo Qingying's chest.
In the Mingguang Realm, it is a common custom that upon reaching the Golden Pill, one will be given a Tao title by the master, indicating that one has officially entered the Taoist gate, because entering the Golden Pill will have 500 lifespans, which is the beginning of truly escaping from the mundane world.
Of course this is the most high-sounding statement.
In fact, the main reason is that the golden elixir is the first big hurdle for a monk. It is more difficult to build the foundation to the golden elixir than to reach the Nascent Soul from the golden elixir, and the second hurdle from the Nascent Soul to Guixu is.
Therefore, after many disciples arrive at Jindan, their relationship with their Nascent Soul Master is a bit delicate.
Some Jindan disciples have good qualifications and practice quickly. They may have already entered Yuanying. Those who are masters have not yet been able to advance to see the ruins. Some even stagnated in their cultivation during Yuanying and can only watch themselves.
His disciples surpassed him.
So how can I show my superiority as a master at this time? How can I make my disciple understand that even if his cultivation is higher than his master, he is still just a junior?
Then we need to put shackles on the disciple while he is still weak. The most elegant way is to give him a Taoist title of his own choosing. The word "Gift" in it will suppress the disciple's will.
identity.
But it’s not enough to just take it yourself. Things that only the parties involved know are sometimes the most unsafe, so you have to hold a title sealing ceremony to announce it to the world and let everyone know about it. In this way, even if the apprentice surpasses you in the future, due to public opinion,
Even if you have the heart to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors, you will think twice before doing so.
This broken rule seems to have become popular among a small sect first, and was gradually followed by more and more sects, until it finally became the default rule of the Mingguang Realm.
But Huayang Sect is not like this. I remember when the Taoist title became popular, the seventh generation leader at that time studied it for a while, and finally felt that it was not helpful for spiritual practice to be given a Taoist title by the master, but the Taoist title itself was a good thing.
, so a meeting of elders was convened and the rules were set. Anyone in the Huayang Sect with a level of cultivation above the ruins could take his or her own Taoist title, "to prove the Taoist heart". All he had to do was register at the presbytery hall.
Gradually, the Taoist title became a symbol of cultivation in Huayang Sect.
Yaofeng's words were just a mockery of Huo Qingying, who only had Nascent Soul cultivation and didn't even have a Taoist title, yet she dared to rant in front of them and was not afraid of being repaired.
As expected, Huo Qingying choked on Yaofeng's words and shut her mouth tightly. She just looked at the scoring monument with light in her eyes, "Well done!" Huo Qingying said in her heart. Who let these old guys?
I was stunned to snatch this job with my fists. I snatched it, but they snatched it!
snort!
On the morning of the third day after moving into Danqing Peak, Jiuze and others were brought back to the platform where they were tested previously. The 300 people who were selected quickly formed a square formation under the guidance of their senior brothers.
As soon as everyone stood up, the four elders who had previously evaluated them fell from the sky. As if to let them see clearly, a few people fell very slowly. The effect of this was also obvious. The disciples in the square array all changed into
With a solemn look on his face, many people's eyes were full of reverence.
"This move seems to have a good effect!" Yaofeng sighed in the sound transmission.
"Temporary." Jiyuan struck mercilessly.
"Anyway, they shouldn't question the division commander's decision," Yong Ping said in a message.
"Humph, are you saying this now? Isn't my original proposal better than this one?" Ji Yuan resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"At least this is more fair." Yaofeng argued.
"Fair? How ridiculous this seems. Who will announce the rules later? I won't speak anyway." Ji Yuan pursed his lips, his displeasure was almost written on his face. This look seemed harsh to the underground disciples.
It was so tight that my body couldn't help but straighten a little more.
"Come on, it's not your turn to make the announcement." As soon as Yongzheng finished speaking, Yao Feng, Ji Yuan and others quickly glanced at Fu Wei in the center, and then they all calmed down and put on a kind and friendly expression.
, fell gently to the ground without raising any dust.
"I've met a few elders." The new disciples didn't know that the elders had only seen the lawsuit in secret. At this time, they were extremely excited to see several people standing in front of them like immortals.
After waiting for two days, they finally knew where they belonged, so everyone looked at the four people above them with bright eyes, eagerly awaiting them.
Yaofeng, Yongping and Jiyuan felt dizzy when they saw such trusting eyes, and they teleported back a few steps in tacit understanding to highlight the danger.
Fu Wei stood expressionless, his expression unchanged but he secretly said, "Since you have retreated, these ten direct disciples will all belong to me."
When Yao Feng and the other three heard this, they immediately moved back, and the smiles on their faces became even more friendly.
This operation made the people below a little confused.
Why did the elders perform teleportation as soon as they came up? To encourage them? No matter, although I can't understand the deep meaning of the elders, it is always right to support them.
So almost everyone applauded enthusiastically after the three people moved back to their original positions.
Only then did Fu Wei have a smile on his face. This smile instantly inspired all the disciples, and the applause became even more enthusiastic.
Yaofeng and the other three were very embarrassed by the applause, and they still had to keep smiling. But after this incident, the three of them did not speak first no matter what.
Fu Wei did not continue to tease these junior brothers and sisters, so he waved his hand to signal the disciples to stop, and then said: "Today is the day assigned to you to enter the inner gate and the outer gate. However, the rules have changed this time."
After speaking, he waved his hand, and a huge lotus tube appeared in the open space in front of the disciples. The lotus tube was three people high. There was a sunken handprint below the lotus tube, about half a person's height.
The moment this lotus tube appeared, all the disciples took a breath.
It won't be what they think.
Later, their absurd guess was confirmed.
"Next, except for the ten people whose names I read out, everyone else will draw lots to determine the places for the inside and outsiders."
After saying this, Fu Wei took out a crystal jade plaque and shook it gently, and a line of words appeared on it: "Cao Fang, Mu Yuanxun, Shen Yi, Feng Qing'er, Nan Xiaorang, Xu Jin, Fang Feiming
, He Yong, Li Chi. The ten of you ranked among the top ten in this assessment. From today on, you are the direct disciples of several elders of my Huayang Sect. When the meeting is over, you will go to become your disciples."
After saying that, he looked at the other disciples and said, "Now, everyone starts to draw lots. Those who draw red lots are like the inner door, and those who draw blue lots are like the outer door. If you have any questions, you can ask them immediately. The third elder and the fourth elder will
, and Mr. Wu Zhang will answer your questions. Feel free to ask questions boldly. Our Huayang Sect will never engage in favoritism and revenge. We always encourage disciples to actively ask questions. If you have any questions or dissatisfaction, you can come forward now, before drawing lots.
"
After Fu Wei finished speaking, he conjured up a high-backed chair, sat down majestically, and then summoned the ten people he had just named to stand beside him.
Ji Yuan, Yong Ping and Yaofeng kept smiling as they answered the disciples' questions, but when they saw the second senior brother "talking cordially" with the disciples with a loving look on his face, they immediately gritted their teeth.
"Second Senior Brother is going too far. Does he really want to poach all the people?" Yaofeng secretly sent a message.
"Who knows, that old man is full of bad ideas. I really don't know how he passed the examination." Ji Yuan's patience was about to run out.
"Let's hurry up and don't let him fool us. After a while, all the disciples will choose him." Yong Ping also said.
So a few people interrupted everyone's questions and said as quickly as possible: "Disciples, we probably understand your question. You can rest assured that only half of them can be admitted. It is the rule of our ancestors and we cannot change it. However,
We will treat you the same regardless of whether you are in the inner sect or the outer sect. For the disciples drawn from the outer sect, we will give you a special batch of waist badges to prove your identity and ensure that you are treated the same as the inner sect disciples.
You can rest assured that although the resource allocation within and outside the Huayang Sect is different, the distribution of spiritual energy at your location is the same. Whether you practice in the inner sect or in the outer sect, you will not have too much enjoyment of spiritual power.
Big surprise."
"In addition, there is no need to worry that other outer sect brothers and sisters will target you because of this. We will post this situation as an announcement to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings among the disciples. Moreover, the disciples who can enter our Huayang Sect
, they are all upright people with extraordinary character, you must have confidence in the sect."
"Okay, if there are no other questions, let's start drawing lots."
The three elders talked about this and finally dispelled the concerns of the disciples. If the resources are the same, what does it matter whether you are in the inner sect or the outer sect?
So under the guidance of the disciple in charge, each disciple began to draw lots in an orderly manner.
Put your hand on the long and recessed seal, and a blue or red signature will appear on the wall of the huge sign tube.
Seeing this, the three elders calmly retreated to stand side by side with Fuwei. At the same time, they took out three high-backed chairs of the same style, and sat in a row with Fuwei majestically. They looked at the ten people who were receiving Fuwei's culture with gentleness and kindness.
