If the Yuqing Sect wants to carry out this "recruiting disciples" ceremony, naturally it cannot be satisfied with only three, five, or seven or eight disciples. It must have at least a hundred or so disciples to be impressive. Moreover, the hundred or so disciples who appeared must have sufficiently good qualifications. If there were some disciples with poor qualifications, wouldn't it become a farce
However, given the current conditions of Yuqing Sect, it is not easy to recruit enough outstanding disciples. Moreover, according to Mo Rushi, it is not that there is a standard and all disciples who meet the standard can be admitted, but that he wants to raise the selection criteria as much as possible.
So, it was natural for Mo Ru to think of Yuqing Sect's "talent reserve base", the small world of Immortal Palace.
Although the small world of the Immortal Palace is one level lower than the realm world in terms of world level. However, there is no difference between the people in the small world and the people in the realm and world. They just live in different places. At most, in terms of cultivation, because the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is weaker, the power they obtain from it is somewhat inferior.
Just like Cheng Liangqi and the others, these Nascent Soul Ancestors in the small world are not as powerful as the Nascent Soul Ancestors in the big world. However, when they came to the big world, re-adapted to the great ways of the big world, and adjusted their own Taoist practices, their strength was not much different.
Apart from cultivation, in terms of personal cultivation qualifications, people in the small world are no worse than those in the big world.
In other words, if a genius with flawless Taoism like Qi Qianjun appears in the small world of Immortal Palace, he will still be a rare genius in a thousand years in the big world.
In the big world, each sect has its own "sphere of influence", which not only involves acquiring more monastic resources, but more importantly, acquiring human resources. The Yuqing Sect has the small world of Immortal Palace as its "talent reserve base" and is not very dependent on the "sphere of influence" of the big world. Therefore, the Yuqing Sect was not so keen on expanding its "sphere of influence" and had always followed the principle of letting nature take its course.
This has led to the fact that now, suddenly, if you want to gather a group of talented disciples to build a good reputation, it will be difficult to achieve it by relying solely on the "sphere of influence" of the big world. Fortunately, they still had the small world of Immortal Palace, so they begged Ye Zan, hoping that Ye Zan would go to the small world of Immortal Palace and bring out a group of talented disciples.
Ye Zan can understand this request, and injecting more fresh blood into the Yuqing Sect can actually be said to be a good thing. Anyway, for Ye Zan and the small world of Immortal Palace, this matter is just a matter of retail or wholesale. Even if this incident hadn't happened, Ye Zan would have brought out outstanding talents from the small world of Immortal Palace one after another.
Ye Zan came to the small world of the Immortal Palace, but due to his own realm problems, he could not directly enter the small world and could only wait in the Babel Tower. As for the specific matters, he directly handed them over to the six clones he left behind in the Yuqing Dao Palace.
After receiving Ye Zan's message, Yuqing Dao Palace immediately became busy and began to select qualified talents from all over the world.
Although today's small world of Asgard has not completely turned into a technological world, it is not much worse than the technological world in terms of communication and transportation. A piece of news can be spread throughout the entire small world in an instant through advanced communication networks, and even every mortal can learn about it immediately if they are willing.
In terms of transportation, the small world's rail transportation network is no longer the limited one at the beginning, but has connected all cities to the transportation network. At the same time, the small world now has road transportation, buses go directly to the villages and towns around the city, and the people's happiness index has exploded.
After all, in the small world of Immortal Palace, Ye Zan doesn't need to worry too much. Many things from the technological world can be used. Of course, whatever he uses must be calculated and verified, so as not to destroy the society of the small world. For example, he would not put the ownership of vehicles in the hands of people in the small world to avoid traffic accidents everywhere. Even if traffic regulations can be introduced, who can guarantee that everyone will abide by them
In fact, the development of the technological world has proven that adequate public transportation can meet people's daily needs. There are buses nearby and rail trains far away. Why do every household have to have a car? Of course, in this world, if someone really wants to show his status and doesn't even want to take a step out of the house, there are still carriages and sedan chairs.
In addition to communication and transportation, Ye Zan even initiated universal education in the small world of Immortal Palace, striving to allow every child to receive education and every adult to be able to read and write. Although this universal education has only been implemented for a few years, it has already made considerable achievements. It cannot be said that it has opened up any wisdom, but it has indeed eliminated many illiterates.
In fact, with the popularization of high-yielding crops, ordinary people in this world no longer need to spend all their energy digging in the soil. There is a saying that goes like this: "A solid storehouse will reveal etiquette, and having enough food and clothing will reveal honor and disgrace." After people solve the problem of hunger, they will naturally have higher-level needs. And this demand, if no one provides positive guidance, may become "full and warm".
Of course, there will be people who are "fed, warm and thoughtful" no matter what kind of society they are in, and they will not become universal saints just because of universal education. Moreover, even when productivity is extremely low, there are still a group of people who have no worries about food and clothing, and who still have enough conditions to "think". But just because of this, it does not mean that education for all is useless. Just like, just because someone will commit a crime regardless of whether there is a law, it does not mean that the law is useless.
After Ye Zan's order was issued, Yuqing Dao Palace began to select outstanding talents from all over the world, and relied on the advanced and developed transportation system to quickly gather them from all over the world. In less than two days, under the organization of Yuqing Taoist Palace, talents from all over the small world of Immortal Palace gathered from all over the world to the steel fortress under the Babel Tower.
Then, there is further selection, testing the qualifications of these people through various methods, as well as their character and so on. After all, whether it is from the perspective of cultivating Taoism or recruiting disciples, one cannot just look at a person's qualifications. If a person's qualifications are unparalleled, but he develops a supercilious heart, then after joining the sect, it may be a great misfortune for the sect.
There is not much to say about the test. After all, this is not the first time Ye Zan has come to lead people, but this time the scale is larger.
The test took three days, and 99% of the tens of thousands of potential candidates were eliminated. Finally, an outstanding talent in his early 100s was selected, who was already impeccable in every aspect. Ye Zan has been in the Tower of Babel, chatting a lot with the tower boss, and also learned some secrets that he didn't know originally. In the end, he simply took the list and took a look at it, and then asked the people below to bring people into the Tower of Babel. .
After seeing these hundreds of people in person, Ye Zan asked the Taoist general to call out the Taoist military register and let each of these people write their names in the Taoist military register. This Tao military book is a restriction for people in the small world. It does not mean that you can only be a Tao soldier if you write your name. Moreover, these people in the small world can only leave the small world and enter the big world if their names are left in the Taoist military register.
Due to the popularization of education for all, and the fact that only one-in-a-thousand talents are brought in, writing one's own name is naturally not a problem. After everyone left their names on the Taoist military book, Ye Zan glanced at these children who looked either anxious or expectant, and waved to open a passage to the big world.
"Come with me." Ye Zan said, turned around and stepped into the passage.
The selected children, looking at the dark passage leading to the unknown in front of them, still couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. After all, no matter how they choose one out of ten thousand, they are still children. They will have fear of the unknown and reluctance to leave their parents in their hometown. However, after the first person plucked up the courage to follow him, everyone behind him no longer hesitated and lined up to walk into the passage one by one.
On the original five peaks of Yuqing Sect, Ye Zan directly opened the door of the passage to a place where outer disciples were specially arranged. The current head of the outer sect, Xie Wenxuan, who became the Holy Mother, immediately rushed over after being notified by Ye Zan.
When the Yuqing Sect moved to Tongtian Peak, they did not abandon these five peaks, but used them all as territory for the outer sect.
Originally, tens of thousands of years ago, the outer gate of Yuqing Sect was located in the land of Five Peaks. Now it has been restored to the way it was thousands of years ago. However, since the scale of the Yuqing Sect today is far smaller than that of the past, after the main body moved back to Tongtian Peak, these five peaks seemed to be much deserted.
"Your Majesty, are these children the disciples that the sect is recruiting this time?" Xie Wenxuan came to Ye Zan, looked at the children coming out of the passage, and asked Ye Zan very respectfully.
Ye Zan walked aside, turned around and looked at the children who were walking out of the passage and looking around curiously, and said, "Well, they are all carefully selected, so they should be able to handle Lao Mo and the others. You go first Make some arrangements for these children and inform Lao Mo that they have come to visit."
"Yes, this disciple has taken the order and will definitely make arrangements for the children." Xie Wenxuan responded quickly from the side.
However, before Xie Wenxuan could notify him, Mo Rushi, who noticed something unusual here, had already rushed over from Tongtian Peak. Although Mo Ruzhi moved to Tongtian Peak, he still had the mountain protection formation on the Wufeng side in his hands, so he could still sense any disturbance immediately. Therefore, when Ye Zan opens the passage to the Immortal Palace here, such obvious spatial fluctuations will naturally not escape Mo Ru's induction.
"I've met Elder Mo!" Xie Wenxuan saw Mo Ru falling to the ground and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Oh, there's no need to be polite, Elder Xie!" Mo Ru returned the gift, came to Ye Zan's side, and said in greeting: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Well, I was just going to inform you later, but I didn't expect you to run over first." Ye Zan waved his hand, then pointed at the children and said, "Look, these children are the ones you want. Yes, I won’t disappoint you.”
Mo Ru turned around and glanced around the children. He already had a rough understanding of the children's qualifications. He quickly said to Ye Zan: "The Supreme Lord's vision is certainly not wrong. These children are simple. In terms of qualifications, they are all outstanding. As for their character, I believe the Supreme Master has already tested them, otherwise he would not have brought them out."
Ye Zan nodded, waved his hand to close the passage that no one came out of, then looked at the children and said: "In terms of xinxing, I have indeed tested it, but how far it will grow in the end depends on you. To cultivate.”
In fact, a person's character is not static. In the process of growth, as knowledge and experience increase, there will definitely be some changes. For example, some people may be pure and kind by nature, but after a big change, such as the murder of a relative or friend, they may become violent and cold-blooded. Therefore, the xinxing test done by Ye Zan is just a basic understanding. In the end, it still depends on how to cultivate them.
As the saying goes, a knife will not be sharp if it is not sharpened, a tree will not be straight if it is not pruned, and if the methods of education and training are improper, a good seedling will be turned into a crooked melon and a cracked jujube.
Mo Ru has been doing "education" for many years. After all, before Ye Zan came to this world, he had been the great elder of Yuqing Sect for many years. Naturally, he was very clear about this, so he nodded and said: "Your Majesty. You are right, we will not dare to be negligent in the education of these children, after all, they are the future of our Yuqing Sect!"
During the conversation between Mo Ru and Ye Zan, his voice was still relatively low, so that the children could not hear it. While the two of them were talking, Xie Wenxuan and Lin Huofeng, along with several outer deacons, had already arranged all the things they needed to live for the one hundred or so children.
After arranging the children, Xie Wenxuan and Lin Huofeng came to Ye Zan and Mo Rushi with several outer deacons. Xie Wenxuan stepped forward to salute, and then said to Ye Zan: "Your Majesty, we have made arrangements for those children. I wonder if your Majesty has any other instructions?"
Ye Zan looked at Xie Wenxuan, then at Lin Huofeng behind him, and said, "Elder Xie and Elder Lin have been in charge of the outer sect for the past few years. They have been diligent and conscientious and have cultivated many talents for our sect. . I see that both of you have reached the perfection of the Golden Core Realm, and it’s time to rush to the Nascent Soul Realm.”
"Now, back to Your Majesty, we actually have no extravagant hopes for this level of cultivation. We only hope to be able to select and train some talents for the sect in this outer sect. If our cultivation is low, it will not be enough." If we continue to take on this important responsibility, we are willing to step down and dedicate ourselves to assisting the new head of the outer sect." After hearing Ye Zan's words, Xie Wenxuan did not show any surprise, but hurriedly said.
