"There is really no way to cancel the Daoyuan Zhenjie First Subject, but at least there are not many people who specialize in Daoyuan Zhenjie One, and the talents will not be buried!" At this time, in the inner hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Qingyang Zongxian envoy raised his glass gently and sighed.
Naturally, there are not many people who are qualified to sit at the main table in this inner hall, but the city lord, General Qi, the Taoist Master of Xianzi Hall, Qingyang Sect Immortal Envoy Qiao Yunting, and even if the Daoyuan Zhenjie subject is cancelled, they can still board the table. Lu Xinyao, the daughter of the city lord of Jiazibang, Qi Xiaofeng, the son of General Qi, and a few other young geniuses in Taiyue City, are all top talents in Taiyue City.
At this time, after listening to the immortal envoy's words, they all felt a little uneasy.
It’s a shame that I didn’t put in a lot of effort into the subject of Dogen Shinkai…
Of course, the reason they didn't put in a lot of effort before was because that subject was too difficult.
Although this is the next best thing for them, now, they have unexpectedly hit their luck...
"The talents are not buried, I'm afraid that's not true, right?"
At this moment, the Taoist Master of Fairy Hall who had been silent all this time suddenly sighed in a low voice.
The Qingyang Sect Immortal was slightly startled, followed his gaze and looked outside, and saw Fang Yuan sitting by the pond in the outer hall.
He seemed to have just remembered this person, and after a while, he softly said: "I heard that this year in Taiyue City, a wizard who was a master of Daoyuan Zhenjie was born. He can be called the first person in three hundred years." , this is the top of the list, but is he the one?"
As soon as Fang Yuan was mentioned, the atmosphere on the table suddenly became a little subtle.
Lu Xinyao, the daughter of the city lord, raised her head and glanced at the immortal envoy, then lowered her eyes and sat quietly without saying a word.
The Taoist master of Fairy Hall sighed deeply and did not speak.
The city lord Lu Zhu'an sighed softly and said with a smile: "The immortal envoy is right. I grew up watching Fang Yuan, Fang Shi's nephew. He is a good boy. He is a bit dull and has a good memory. I heard that he Before the big exam, he not only memorized the article "Dogen Zhenkai" by heart, but also memorized other annotations and references related to "Dogen Zhenkai" by heart. This hard work is beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, except for "Dogen Zhenkai", he , it can be said that he knows nothing about other medical sciences, divination, utensils, martial arts, etc. This time, if Daoyuan's true understanding is included, he will naturally be at the top of the list, but if Daoyuan's true understanding is taken away, then even ordinary people will not be as good as him. Got it!"
"It turns out he is a child who is good at rote memorization!"
The Immortal Envoy of the Qingyang Sect nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
But Mr. Zhu, the Taoist master of Fairy Hall, couldn't listen anymore and suddenly said: "Brother Qiao, you are here for official business. I shouldn't have said this, but I really can't help it. That child Fang Yuan is the one I watched grow up." The big one, his qualifications are really good, this time he can get the top spot on the ranking list, he is truly worthy of it, now just because of a word from the Immortal Sect, will this child's bright future be ruined?"
Senior Brother Qiao, the Immortal Envoy of the Qingyang Sect, was slightly startled: "What does Junior Brother Zhu mean?"
Mr. Zhu, the Taoist master, said: "This kid's qualifications are really good, so why can't we make an exception and include him in the sect?"
After saying one sentence, there was suddenly silence in the inner hall.
Everyone's eyes were looking at the Qingyang Sect's immortal envoy, and they even held their breath.
Under so many eyes, the Qingyang Sect Immortal Envoy thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head heavily.
"you… "
Mr. Zhu from Fairy Hall suddenly became angry. He squatted down on the table with his wine glass and was about to get up and leave.
"Junior brother Zhu, don't get angry!"
The Qingyang Sect Immortal Envoy sighed lowly and said: "We have also studied in the same sect. I understand your feelings, but this is not because our Immortal Sect is ruthless, but because this child is really not suitable to enter the Immortal Sect again. You are teaching the young disciples of the Immortal Sect in the Fairy Hall. You should understand that letting these children study pharmacology, divination, utensils, calligraphy and other knowledge from an early age is to prepare for future practice... "
"Generally speaking, when these children reach the age of fifteen or sixteen, the foundation of their practice is almost laid, and their body bones have been finalized. It is a good time to choose those with excellent qualifications to enter the immortal sect to practice. Otherwise, , if you start practicing too early, your body bones will not have grown well yet, and forcibly practicing Qi will not necessarily be beneficial, but will damage the source of your energy. If you start practicing too late, your body bones will be in shape, and most of your qualifications will be destroyed. It is only a few years difference, and your future will be I am afraid that at least half of my achievements will be lost!"
"As for the young man you are talking about, I have already read his files. He is a master of Daogen Shinkai. He is indeed very accomplished. Even I have never seen the thirty-six Daogens who can reveal the world to the world. The true interpretation of the scriptures is completely memorized, word for word, but the child's other principles of practice are mediocre. Now, Daogen's true interpretation has been proven to be false, and the great uncle of the Supreme Master has also passed away. No one pays attention to this If you take this child into the family, he will be a blank slate. Before practicing, he will have to learn various basic theories again. When do you think he can learn it well? Three years, five years? At that point At that time, is he still suitable for practice?"
"Hmph, with the Qingyang Sect's background and good training, how can it possibly delay his cultivation?"
Mr. Zhu from Fairy Hall said angrily.
The immortal envoy of Qingyang Sect heard this, but just smiled bitterly: "But how can the immortal sect have so much energy to train him?"
"you… "
Mr. Zhu was furious, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Did you know that with just this thought, you might miss a good young talent!"
"There are already too many good seedlings in the Immortal Sect!"
The immortal envoy of the Qingyang Sect was not moved, and just said lightly: "You also know that the number of disciples accepted by the Immortal Sect is different from before. In the past three hundred years, every three years, the number of disciples admitted to the sect has been ten times higher than before. There will be more than three times more years, and the resources for cultivation are limited. If these disciples want to grow, it is impossible without the supply of resources. The Immortal Sect no longer has too much energy to focus on unnecessary people. To be honest, Well, maybe, this big exam will be the last one in three hundred years... "
"What?"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was immediately shocked and looked at the immortal envoy with some surprise.
But the Immortal Envoy of the Qingyang Sect stopped saying anything. He raised his glass and took a sip. Seeing that Mr. Zhu still looked angry and his anger had not disappeared, he pondered for a while and said with a smile: "That's it, Junior Brother Zhu, we have known each other for hundreds of years. How can we hurt the harmony because of official business? Since you think so highly of this young man, then besides my duties, I might as well give him a chance. It just depends on whether he is willing!"
Outside the hall, Fang Yuan recalled the sense of mystery that the scriptures and meanings of "Daoyuan Zhenjie" brought to him not long ago. He slowly stood up and planned to leave this unwelcoming place. At this moment, A voice sounded from behind: "Are you Fang Yuan?"
Turning around, Fang Yuan was startled when he saw a middle-aged man in a purple robe standing behind him with his hands behind his back. It was the immortal messenger from the Qingyang Sect. The city lord, General Qi and others also They were all beside him, looking at him with complicated eyes. Lu Xinyao and other young geniuses on the top rankings were following behind, with doubts and worries on their faces.
"That's right, junior!"
Fang Yuan answered politely without losing his etiquette.
"I heard that you were originally at the top of the list, but because of my words, you lost the qualification to be on the list. Do you feel resentful in your heart?"
The Qingyang Sect Immortal Envoy looked at Fang Yuan, smiled slightly, and asked softly.
"I hate it so much that I want to draw a little man and prick your mouth every day..."
Fang Yuan was thinking in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "It's useless to blame others. The younger generation has no time to be resentful. I just want to start all over again!"
The immortal envoy was startled after hearing this, and said with a smile: "I am worried that you will give up on yourself and be unable to recover after receiving this blow. It seems that I have overthought it. It is rare for you to have such a state of mind at such a young age. , However, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. From this time on, Fairy Hall will no longer accept disciples, and at your age, when you complete your studies, you will be past the best time for practice!"
"Um?"
Fang Yuan was slightly startled when he heard this, and his expression changed slightly.
"but… "
The immortal envoy suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "I don't want to kill a good talent, so I will make an exception and give you a chance. It is impossible for the Qingyang Sect disciples, but I, the Immortal Sect's handyman , you can also practice, and if you practice well, you will have the opportunity to be admitted into the inner sect. I can take you to the immortal sect to be a handyman. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Working as a handyman?"
There was a sudden commotion around, and everyone's eyes became excited.
Lu Xinyao couldn't help but glance at Fang Yuan, and suddenly there was a hint of mockery in her indifferent eyes.
Taiyue City Lord Lu Zhu'an and General Qi were obviously relieved, with a playful smile on their lips.
It should be noted that within the Immortal Sect, there is also a strict hierarchy. Above the ordinary disciples, there are inner disciples, who are all good candidates. Among the inner disciples, a true disciple is born only every three years. Every true disciple will be specially trained by the Immortal Sect. He or she will be a figure numbering among tens of thousands of people and will be seen by the whole world. Regardless of whether their practice is good or bad, they will be able to enjoy a hundred years of honor...
Otherwise, with Lu Xinyao's talents and potential, how could the city lord be interested in recruiting Fang Yuan as his son-in-law
But working as a handyman in an immortal sect is simply another extreme...
Isn't it an insult to let a person who is the most dignified person and should be the true successor of the Immortal Sect to be a handyman
Fang Yuan's mood became extremely complicated at this moment, and he even felt angry and wanted to walk away.
But he took a deep breath and suppressed his inner turmoil.
In the shortest possible time, he seriously considered various possibilities for the future.
When he was sure that this was indeed the last road before him, he raised his head and answered seriously:
"Junior is willing!"
