The selection of disciples by sects is divided into two processes. In the first time, each sect selects five students first. In order to show fairness, each sect can only select a maximum of two disciples at each talent level. This can prevent all potential disciples from being eliminated. The first few disciples were picked away. The Qingsong sect who was the first to choose naturally took the lead in selecting Xiaohu, the only cyan talent level, plus two children with green talent levels and two children with yellow talent levels.
When they selected Xiaohu, the faces of the other three sects of the four sects were not good-looking. Obviously, they had never gotten a disciple with a cyan talent level. However, with Qingsong Taoist’s cultivation level, no one dared What to say, besides, this selection method is unanimously agreed upon by everyone, and the selection order is also determined by annual competitions, so no one has any objections.
The four sects have all selected suitable disciples, but other sects are not so lucky. The selection process was very fast, because many elders of the sects had already identified their target disciples during the testing process, and estimated which ones they had a higher probability of selecting, so they did not hesitate in the selection. Even so, there were still some old masters with white beards who carefully touched the muscles and bones of each disciple before deciding whether to pick them out. These children are like goods in the market, and they are picked by others. However, there are no complaints about each item that is selected. On the contrary, they are very happy.
Because the red talent level has the most disciples, there is no limit to the number of disciples selected by red. In the end, Mu Yu discovered a very embarrassing phenomenon. In the first round of selecting disciples, none of their gray talent disciples were selected!
Mu Yu knew that according to this selection method, even their disciples with gray talent levels would not be selected in the second round, and even in the end they would not be selected. So how will the disciples with gray talents be treated? Will he be sent back directly
If he was sent back, Mu Yu didn't even dare to imagine the disappointed look on the face of Village Chief Lao Bu. Although he didn't want to become an immortal in the first place, he was representing Liushui Village after all. If he was not selected, he might be afraid of the village elder in the future. I can't even lift my head when I go out.
The second round of selection has also been completed. All the disciples have been selected. There are only more than thirty disciples with gray talent level who are not interested. These children also already know what situation they are in now, and everyone looks very disappointed. , some children even wiped their tears secretly. Thinking of how happy the family was when they were tested to have the potential to practice. Seven aunts and eight aunts rushed to say goodbye first. However, they ended up in such an end. Even an adult could not bear that kind of gap, let alone them. An innocent child.
Even the last famous Luochen sect didn't choose them. Mu Yu didn't know which immortal masters were from the Luochen sect, but presumably the disciples they selected were also at the red talent level. Even the third-rate sects didn't want them with gray talent levels. As a disciple, you can imagine how important talent is in the world of immortality.
Each sect has gradually left with its selected new disciples, leaving only this group of unwanted hanging-tailed children standing there at a loss. The last glimmer of hope left in everyone's heart has been shattered. Many children cried sadly. Mu Yu saw a little girl crying uncontrollably. He sighed inwardly and intended to comfort her, but then he thought, what qualifications did he have to comfort her
After the immortal master had almost left, the white-haired Deacon Xun slowly walked over, took a look at these unwanted children, and shook his head helplessly, saying: "Don't cry, everyone, there are people in the world of cultivation." Cruel law, talent determines everything, don't be sad, everyone. There are two ways before you now, one is to go home directly, be a mortal with peace of mind, live your own life quietly, marry a wife and have children or pass the exam With fame, you can achieve a great career in the future. The other option is to stay in the academy and become a backup disciple here."
"What is a spare disciple?" some children asked sobbing.
A trace of strangeness flashed in Deacon Xun's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He squeezed out a smile and said, "The backup disciples will stay in the school. Although your talents are lower, you are not without the ability to practice. Your progress is slow, but As long as you practice hard, you may still be favored by the immortal masters of those sects."
When the other children heard that they could stay and have a chance to be selected by the sect, they immediately stopped crying. No one was willing to leave as long as there was a chance, and would rather fight for it. But Mu Yu's thoughts are not so simple. He knows that this backup disciple will definitely not be so relaxed, and at least he will have to pay some price.
Deacon Xun continued: "You stay in the school and work for the school. If there are disciples from other sects here, you must receive them well. Then when you grow up, you need to go to various villages and towns every year to find those who are over twelve years old. Children, lead them here. Once they are done, they will be rewarded with spirit stones. Spirit stones are the currency of the world of cultivation and are also items used for cultivation. You will know it later. Now you can make your own choice. Yes Leave or stay.”
Many children are rushing to express their intention to stay. No one is willing to leave with regrets. What if they really hope to become an immortal master in the future? Only Mu Yu didn't make any statement. He understood what a spare disciple was. He must be a servant of the academy, specially used by other sects. But Muyu didn't want to leave, nor did he want to see the village chief's disappointed look.
Deacon Xun had already expected that no children would choose to leave, so he did not explain anything more and just said: "Since everyone has chosen to stay, then follow me! I will arrange a place for you first, and I will give you accommodation starting tomorrow. You arrange your daily tasks.”
Everyone took the initiative to follow Deacon Xun. Everyone no longer cried. They were either happy or walking determinedly. Only Mu Yu sighed. He walked slowly, deliberately falling behind, and then turned back. Looking at the gray stone, the stone that decided his fate, it was still sitting there quietly at this moment, as if it had nothing to do with it, it was just a tool, but this tool decided so much. Many people are on their way back. Mu Yu couldn't help but think, what would have happened if he had allowed that warm current to control him just now? He had a hunch, he knew that his talent level was definitely not gray, it would definitely have its own color, but what would it be
Mu Yu really wanted to test it again, but he didn't have the chance now. He planned to see if he could come back secretly at night. Even if the situation just happened at night, no one would care, right
Mu Yu looked back, but just when he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw a person appearing next to the gray stone. He was an old man in very simple clothes, with white hair and white beard, and an indescribable aura about him. , just like the old man in the mountain village who takes care of his life, but with a touch of immortality.
The old man stared around the stone, and suddenly his eyes looked at Mu Yu. There seemed to be a trace of doubt and confusion in those wise eyes, and he seemed to be asking Mu Yu. The moment he looked at him, Mu Yu unexpectedly I feel as if I have been seen through by the other party, and all the secrets in my heart will be exposed. Mu Yu was startled and quickly turned his head away from looking at him, praying in his heart that he would not discover anything. He hurried forward quickly to catch up with the people in front of him.
