In the morning, the sun is shining outside and everything looks beautiful.
Under the faint sunshine, the surroundings are bright, and the surrounding world is empty, giving people infinite reverie.
Under Liuyunzong's residence, an ordinary family's home.
A young man bid farewell to his relatives and embarked on the road to Liuyunzong.
Walking on the road, in the surrounding area, one by one, the neighbors all around hurried forward and blessed him.
"The second child of the Liu family has been chosen by the immortals of the Liuyun Sect, and he is about to go there to practice."
"I heard that he was not only selected, but also passed the assessment. After studying, he can be released as an official in other counties and counties."
"Hey, my kid also passed the examination, but unfortunately he has no qualifications, no way to practice, so he can only become an official."
"It's not bad, it's better than the land we've plowed all our lives."
A person was whispering at the side, and from time to time, envious eyes came from not far away, staring at the young man.
Liu Yang calmly endured these envious looks, and was very proud of it.
The Liuyun Sect has unified the Yue Kingdom for decades, and now it has changed a lot to the Yue Kingdom.
The most obvious change is the unified assessment of monks and officials.
In the Yue Kingdom in the past, the selection and assessment of monks and officials were very rough.
Limited by resources and manpower, the practice sects accept disciples, and they will always only be selected from those practice families, and only from those practice families with monk blood.
This is because the possibility of cultivating qualifications among mortals is too low. In addition, compared with people from monk families, ordinary mortals have no advantages at all, and they do not have enough wealth to support their practice.
As for officials, the same is true. They only look at the recommendation of officials, which is very confusing.
The Liuyun Sect unified the Yue Kingdom and completely changed this situation.
Under Chen Heng's personal action, Liuyunzong carved magic circles in every county town, leaving a spiritual circle in it that can be used to test aptitude.
People nearby only need to go to the spirit array to test whether they are qualified.
And it's free.
Of course, it's only free for the first time, and you should be charged after that.
But normally speaking, for aptitude, one test is enough, and further tests are just a waste.
This measure consumed a lot of resources. If Liuyun Sect had not suppressed the entire Yue State and owned the wealth of the entire Yue State, I am afraid that it would not be possible to do this at all.
After that, Liuyunzong spent several years to create a batch of basic academies, which can be used by school-age children around four weeks to study.
This matter is relatively less efficient than the previous one, but it also creates opportunities for many mortals.
A large number of mortals have the opportunity to succeed, and the benefits that originally belonged only to monk families are now open to most people.
At least for most mortals, as long as they live in the country of Yue, they can test their own aptitude.
Even if you don't have qualifications, as long as you are willing, you can also go to the officially established academy to study in it, and pass the assessment to change your own destiny.
Over the past few decades, Liuyunzong's disciples have already swelled up.
A large number of mortals have benefited from this, thus changing their own destiny.
Liu Yang in front of him is one of them.
His ancestors were all mortals, and his father was just an ordinary sheep breeder.
If it were in the past, with his family background, he would never have the opportunity to practice or study. He could just hang out at the bottom all his life and become a shepherd.
It's just that Liuyunzong changed everything.
When he was young, he was detected to have qualifications, so he successfully entered the affiliated academy opened by Liuyunzong to study.
Counting it now, he has officially embarked on the road of cultivation and has become a monk at the first level of spiritual refinement.
And at this point, according to the regulations of Liuyun Sect, he can truly enter into Liuyun Sect and become a true Liuyun Sect disciple.
Liu Yang has long been looking forward to this.
"According to the latest regulations of Liuyun Sect, as a formal disciple under the age of 20, I can enjoy additional subsidies. Every month, I will be given one spirit stone and three spirit pills."
Thinking back to the news that he inquired before, Liu Yang couldn't help feeling a little excited.
One spirit stone, three spirit pills.
This may not be much for other people, but for the low-level monks who have just entered the spirit refining realm, it is actually quite a lot.
These things are Liuyunzong's subsidy for new disciples, only those formal disciples who are under 20 years old and have really entered the spirit refining realm can have them.
Calculating the time, Liu Yang just met the conditions at this moment.
He is only fifteen years old this year, and counting the days, he can still receive this subsidy for five full years.
"After five years, by the time I'm twenty, I should be able to reach the fourth or fifth floor of Spiritual Refining, and maybe I'll be able to hit the position of an outer disciple."
Walking on the road, Liu Yang was excited. At this moment, he had already made plans and plans for the future: "As long as you become an outer disciple, you will have the opportunity to get a new subsidy."
"Even if you can't, you can still find opportunities to earn spirit stones."
The outer disciples of Liuyun Sect were not so strict in the first place.
At the time of Chen Heng in the past, the disciples of Liuyunzong's outer sect were only in the spirit refinement realm, and the cultivation level of the spirit refinement level was completely sufficient.
It's just that with the continuous development of Liuyunzong, there are a large number of disciples in Liuyunzong, so the requirements for all kinds of disciples are also higher.
Even if they were the most ordinary outer disciples, if they want to enter it now, at least they need to cultivate at the fourth or fifth level of spiritual refinement.
As for the cultivation below the fourth and fifth levels of Spiritual Refining, they can only be reduced to handyman disciples, responsible for the most tiring work.
Nowadays, all the monks under the foundation can only go around the outer door, and only the real foundation monks can enter the inner door.
As long as the true disciples of a higher level have changed their names to core disciples at this moment, the requirements will be even higher.
Layer by layer, it can be said to be very strict.
The road from here to Liuyunzong is not very difficult.
In the past few decades, under the development plan of Liuyunzong, many infrastructures in the entire Yue Kingdom have been improved.
A large number of monks were dispatched and went to various places to build roads, and built good roads and other constructions in various places.
Even though Liu Yang's disciple was born in just a remote town, his official career was pretty good.
Walking on the road, Liu Yang could still hear the sighs of other people around him from time to time.
According to the sighs of those merchants, more than ten years ago, there was no such easy road for walking here.
Not only is there no such good road, but there are even many dangers.
"What danger?"
Liu Yang asked curiously, "Are those beasts outside?"
In front of his eyes, those merchants looked at each other, and then couldn't help but smile.
"Beasts are nothing, the key is people."
A burly man stepped forward, patted Liu Yang on the shoulder, and then smiled: "In the past, Yue's country was not so peaceful."
Then, they began to tell stories about the past.
The situation before Yue was very chaotic.
Of course, it cannot be said that it is Yue, but it should be said that it is all around.
The background of this world is like this, the lives of mortals are like weeds, cut over and over again.
There are monks killing people, and demon cultivators killing mortals in order to practice.
During the devil's rebellion in Yue country in the past, many mortals in Yue country were killed or injured.
Even if they are righteous monks, they may not regard mortals as consumables needed for cultivation like demon cultivators, but they will not pay much attention to them, and they will not regard each other as the same kind.
And even among mortals, it is also full of inequality and oppression.
The dignitaries, the emperor, all kinds of characters seem to be very beautiful, but to ordinary mortals, they are all oppressors.
Against this background, it is impossible to expect how good life is for mortals.
At this moment, Liu Yang listened to these merchants explaining the past history.
At that time before, there were bandits rampant all around. If the merchants in the past met them, they would lose their money and eliminate disasters at least, or lose their money at worst.
"The former government, and the nearby sects don't care?"
Looking at the merchants in front of him, Liu Yang frowned and asked.
After his words fell, the merchants around looked at each other, and then smiled in unison.
"It's not that easy."
They say so.
Liu Yang was a little puzzled at first, and then understood through other people's explanations.
In the past, those sects were not the same as the current Liuyun sect.
For those people in the past, some bandits are not worth their hands, and even some of them are actually the supporters behind those bandits.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to expect them to help these ordinary merchants.
Even if there are occasional people who act bravely and act chivalrously, they are only a minority and will not help the general situation.
But now, things are different.
Up to now, in the Yue Kingdom, the Liuyun Sect ruled everything, and many bandits who were originally flooding the Yue Kingdom had all disappeared at this moment.
Even if there are still some remnants, they can only flee far away from the country of Yue and migrate to other countries.
And the passers-by, at least in this part of the country of Yue, can find peace.
"Unfortunately, there is only Yue Kingdom."
A merchant from another country sighed, and at this moment he couldn't help but say, "It would be great if other places can do the same."
As merchants, they need to travel in many places and deeply understand the differences and surprises of each place.
Compared with the situation in the Yue country, the situation in other places is almost the same as in the past, which is equivalent to the appearance of the Yue country in the past.
It is still not safe for ordinary people to walk on the road, and they may be in danger at any time.
In this regard, many people present sighed.
