Three years is neither long nor short.
Wei Dawu has grown a lot taller, lost his former childishness, and become more steady, with only a vague sense of familiarity between his brows.
Meeting Xu Chunniang's gaze, Wei Dawu smiled slightly.
He also didn't expect that after not seeing each other for three years, they would meet in this way.
He walked directly towards Xu Chunniang, and his attitude was very sincere. "Will you follow me to the inner gate? An attendant is very important to me, and the spiritual plant major is not useless. What's more... you and I are from the same hometown, so we are closer than others."
Xu Chunniang paused. She had to go to the inner gate, but she didn't want to enter in this way.
She thought about refusing the recruitment, but she didn't expect that the person who recruited her would be Wei Dawu.
Seeing that she did not agree immediately, Wei Dawu's smile faded slightly and he spoke in an admonishing tone.
"The Immortal Sect is different from the mortal world. Without cultivation resources, it would just be a waste of time. Given the relationship between the two of us, as long as you do your best to serve me, I will naturally not forget your help after I build my foundation.
There is a huge difference between the inner and outer sects. You don’t want to just practice Qi for your whole life, do you? "
Xu Chunniang naturally did not want to stop at practicing Qi, but she had her own way to go, instead of becoming someone else's vassal and exchanging her loyalty for the opportunity to build a foundation!
She doesn't understand what true nature means, 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 big brother from the neighboring village who had joined the Immortal Sect with her and had taken care of her on the flying boat.
"I want to enter the inner sect by my own strength. Didn't you say that no matter whether it is the inner sect or the outer sect, our goal is to practice?"
Wei Dawu's face was dazed for a moment. Did he say such a thing
Perhaps he was too ignorant at the time to say such a thing.
Not to mention the huge difference in resources between the inner and outer gates, even among the nine peaks of the inner gate, each peak is different.
Apart from the most powerful main peak, Xiaoyao Peak, Dan Peak, Qi Peak and Yushou Peak each have their own strengths and can be considered as the better peaks.
As for Fu Peak, Qianji Peak and Xuanjian Peak, their overall strength is much inferior, and the number of disciples joining these three peaks is relatively smaller.
Baihua Peak is quite special. Although there are few people, they are good at using voodoo, and their influence in the inner sect should not be underestimated.
However, Wuming Peak exists in name only. In recent years, there have been almost no new disciples joining Wuming Peak.
He came back to his senses and said calmly, "I take back what I said now. After embarking on the path of cultivation, I realized how ignorant I was in the past.
You are now like I was before, just a frog trapped at the bottom of a well, with no chance to see the vastness of the outside world.
Once you realize how insignificant you are, you will do whatever it takes to make yourself stronger."
Xu Chunniang only felt a chill in her heart, her expression dimmed, and the joy of reuniting with her old friend completely cooled down.
It is because she knows how insignificant she is that she keeps working hard and moving forward.
She thought that since Wei Dawu was selected into the sect together with her from a small place, he would understand her persistence.
But unexpectedly, he lost his original intention of practicing Taoism so easily.
Xu Chunniang was in a complicated mood. She was disappointed with Wei Dawu, but also wanted to prove her determination. However, she understood that people with different ideals could not work together, and they were no longer on the same path.
She didn't want to explain anymore and said bluntly, "Brother Dawu, I'm sorry to tell you that I refuse to be your follower."
Wei Dawu tried to persuade him for a long time, but he only heard such words. He was a little dissatisfied.
It was obvious that everything he did was for her immortal path.
But she didn't appreciate it at all. With such a stupid personality, how could she go far on the path of cultivation
If it was someone else standing here today, he would have probably already happily accepted such a good thing and there would be no need for him to spend so much time and effort on it.
Xu Chunniang, he was wrong after all.
His face was a little cold, "Have you really thought it through?"
"I've thought about it."
In the end, Wei Dawu chose another female disciple with outstanding performance.
He attached great importance to this recruitment of followers. Although Xu Chunniang's performance disappointed him, Wei Dawu was rational and would naturally not waste the followers' quota.
These disciples standing on the stage are the most promising among all the new disciples. They will also help him gain a foothold in the inner sect in the future, and they must not be lost.
When others saw this scene, they started talking about it, with smiles on their faces as if they were enjoying a good show.
Even without listening, Xu Chunniang knew that they were all laughing at her for being ungrateful and refusing the offer to become an inner sect disciple.
After all, among the more than one hundred inner disciples, Wei Dawu ranks thirty-seventh, and not everyone is pleasing to him.
There are more people who can choose to become followers. Is this the right path
It is difficult to practice Taoism in the outer sect. Every year there are always some "short-sighted" disciples who refuse to be recruited and are unwilling to take this so-called shortcut. They want to try their luck in the outer sect competition!
This was the case for her, and so was Su Chen. Some of the senior sisters and brothers from the past also made similar decisions.
People like them have chosen a more difficult path, but as long as they overcome all obstacles and keep moving forward, they will be able to walk more steadily and further on this path of seeking the truth.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and warned herself in her heart: "Even a frog in 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 just because others can't walk the path, it doesn't mean I can't walk it!"
At this moment, Xu Chunniang felt that her determination to practice cultivation was more resolute than ever before.
She didn't know why she practiced in the past, but she was just lucky and was chosen by the Xiaoyao Sect.
After joining the sect, she wanted to practice well and not be kicked out of the sect. It would be even better if she could enter the inner sect.
If you ask Xu Chunniang why she wanted to practice hard and enter the inner sect, she can't even answer.
But now, she has clearly defined the goal of her practice: to jump out of the well and see a wider world.
And let everyone see that she can do it!
Even if this road is full of difficulties and obstacles, she will only face the challenges head-on and forge ahead triumphantly; even if she dies and her soul is destroyed on the road to seeking the truth, she will have no regrets!
Xu Chunniang's heart completely calmed down. As her state of mind changed, her cultivation gradually showed signs of loosening, which was a sign before a breakthrough.
But now is not a good time to break through. Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the restless spiritual energy in her body.
Soon, only two people were left out of the fifty people on the stage, Xu Chunniang and Su Chen, who had refused to be recruited.
The two looked at each other, smiled at each other, and actually felt a sense of mutual understanding.
Manager Mu glanced at the two of them and smiled, which was rare. "Since you two have refused to be recruited, don't stand here. Go down."
"What about our test results?" Xu Chunniang asked quickly.
