"Junior Brother Qin? Junior Brother Qin?!"
In the Daojian Sect's main hall, Qin Ran, who was standing at the end of the line, came to his senses and realized that the Sect Master was calling him. He hurriedly walked out of the line, bowed to the seat, and said, "Sect Master!"
The Daojian Sect's headmaster asked, "Did you hear what I just said?"
“Hmm…” Qin Ran pretended to hesitate, obviously not hearing clearly.
Because he was distracted just now, his mind was thinking about the twelve recipes of the Jindan Stage Barrier Breaking Pill.
This is the site of the Daojian Sect's Daowen Ceremony, which is held every fifty years. The so-called Daowen Ceremony is also a ceremony to accept disciples. At this time, the Daojian Sect's top leaders are conducting the final test on those who have passed the test.
Well, the disciple-taking ceremony is very important to inject fresh blood, but...
What does it have to do with him, the Danfeng orphan
Just look at the name of this sect, Daojian Sect, and you will know that alchemy has no status in this sect. Recruiting disciples? It is not Danfeng's turn to recruit disciples.
So Qin Ran only brought one person to make up the numbers, intending to just be there for the whole process, and never thought of accepting a disciple here.
Seeing his expression, the head of the sect said, "This little girl wants to become your disciple and learn the art of alchemy. Are you willing to accept her?"
“Yeah!” Qin Ran nodded subconsciously, but he quickly reacted and raised his voice to ask a question, “Hmm?”
The headmaster pointed to a figure wearing a bright yellow double-collared gown in front of a row of boys and girls in the center of the hall.
Qin Ran looked over and saw the back of a girl.
So, he woke up and realized that someone wanted to be his apprentice, and it was a woman!
This feeling is like winning a big prize. The last time I had this feeling was when I traveled to this world of cultivating immortals.
"Everything will be subject to the master's arrangements..." He quickly agreed, "I am willing."
“Hey, hey… Hi…” At this moment, someone in the queue beside him suddenly called him softly. Qin Ran turned his head and looked over. It was Jianfeng’s chief Liu Boxian. He was about thirty years old and also dressed in a black chief robe. When he saw him looking at him, he winked and cursed, “What the hell do you want… A top-level gold spiritual root, to learn alchemy from you?!”
"Top-grade gold spiritual roots?" Qin Ran was stunned. The girl also had top-grade gold spiritual roots? If that was the case, she was definitely not suitable for alchemy. He couldn't help but hesitate.
Firstly, the golden spiritual root is not suitable for alchemy. Secondly, this golden spiritual root is top-level. If she learns sword, she will be a genius.
It was just that he had this consideration, and the headmaster obviously had it too. When he was in a daze earlier, the temple had actually discussed it many times. And now that he was confirmed to be willing to accept him as a disciple, the headmaster still felt it was a pity and confirmed with the girl in yellow again: "Do you really want to learn alchemy?"
"I'm here just to make the elixir." replied the girl in yellow.
This girl's voice is a bit cold, and she speaks to the headmaster with a sense of arrogance. I'm afraid she has a cold personality and is difficult to get along with.
Kieran was even more hesitant about that kind of person.
"You have a golden spiritual root, which makes you more suitable for the sword art, and you can even be a Qigong practitioner. If you practice alchemy, your talent will be useless and can be said to be a waste." The head of the sect persuaded again.
"I know." said the girl in yellow.
"Alas..." The headmaster sighed, "Okay."
"What a pity!" Jianfeng's head monk Liu Boxian also shook his head secretly. Such a good sword-learning seedling was actually wasted in Danfeng, which was a complete waste of talent.
Looking at the girl's slender back and hearing her neat response, Qin Ran felt a strange feeling in his heart... Perhaps it was because someone would choose him so decisively. He wanted to say something to persuade the girl to choose another peak, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"You have joined the Danfeng lineage and are an inner disciple. Forget it, make yourself a direct disciple!" The head of the sect circulated his true energy and wrote an identity token for the girl in yellow. He then used magic to send the identity token to her and said, "Quickly join the Danfeng team."
The girl in yellow reached out to take her identity token. She looked at the name on it, Li Shiyin. Although she was determined to learn alchemy, she felt confused when she was really sure. She paused for a moment, thinking of her grandfather who had passed away, and finally made up her mind not to let her parents suffer from illness. She turned around and walked through the queue, looking back.
With just one glance, Li Shiyin saw the person she was looking for, the master she had just worshipped. After all, he was the only one standing outside the queue in the hall.
only…
Li Shiyin was a little hesitant. Was there something wrong
That young man with a silly smile is her master? !
She glanced around the hall to make sure no one else came to greet her, then looked back at the young man and saw that he was indeed wearing the black abbot's robe.
Well, maybe this master only looks young, but he is actually very old, has a high level of cultivation, and is very powerful. Li Shiyin could only comfort herself in this way.
She really didn't mean to discriminate based on appearance. After all, appearance in the world of immortal cultivation had no reference value at all. However, if someone looked a little older and had a more mature and stable temperament, it would indeed make people feel more secure.
And the young man in front of her...
"Alas!" Li Shiyin wanted to regret it just after she made up her mind. She turned around to look at the headmaster, wanting to ask if she could change her master, but the headmaster had asked her many times before, so she didn't say anything in the end.
"Is there anything else?" However, seeing her like this, the head of the sect knew everything in his mind and asked out loud.
"No!" she replied coldly.
"That's good..." The head of the sect said with a smile, "I hope you will perform well when I knock on the door in three years."
Knocking on the door before the Tao is to check the cultivation situation of the new disciples, to see if they are lazy, and whether they are suitable for cultivation. In fact, another word is the sect competition. The sect competition is then used to determine the allocation of resources.
The head of the sect deliberately emphasized this, somewhat mocking Li Shi
Yin doesn't know what's good for him and just wants to see a joke.
Li Shiyin could sense it, but she pretended not to know, nodded coldly, and replied: "Okay!"
She was quite confident in her talent and character in cultivation, and knew that she would go very far... right
She turned around and saw her new master.
"We can only take it one step at a time." Li Shiyin sighed again and walked slowly towards Qin Ran, somewhat reluctantly.
When the girl in yellow turned around, Qin Ran couldn't help but be stunned. It wasn't because of anything else, but because she was too beautiful, ahem... No, it was because she was relatively old.
I didn't mean to say that this girl was old. She looked only about 15 or 16 years old, which was the most youthful and energetic age. I just simply said that she was too old to become a disciple. Among the dozen or so disciples in the Hall of Inquiry, she was already relatively old.
Although it doesn't mean the younger the better, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she has obviously missed the best time to build a foundation. If it weren't for her top-level gold spiritual roots, if Daojianmen was not a small sect, I'm afraid she wouldn't be accepted.
Of course, putting all that aside, she is really beautiful.
There is a hint of pretended maturity in the lovely almond eyes, and a few spots of forced frost on the chubby face. There is a contrast between temperament and appearance. Her nose is as steep as a cliff, her thin lips are as cold as a knife edge, her thick eyebrows are heroic, and her black hair is touching.
Although she is a girl who has not fully grown up yet, she already has a sharpness like a sword.
“As expected of a gold spiritual root.” Qin Ran thought to himself.
Qin Ran felt a little excited when he thought about eating, living and practicing with such a beautiful girl in the future... No, no, no, he was not excited, not at all. This is a disciple, a disciple! He secretly warned himself not to think about dirty things like master and disciple.
Qin Ran watched the conversation between the head and her quietly without saying anything. He looked at the girl walking towards him hesitantly, and just smiled and nodded at her, motioning her to go back to the queue with him.
Daojian Sect was not a big sect, so not many people came here to become disciples. The opportunity to become disciples only happened once every fifty years, so only a thousand people came to the mountain gate. After various tests, only a hundred or so people were left. After being assigned to menial jobs and outer disciples, there were only a dozen people who came to the Dao Hall.
This year was considered normal, with sixteen people coming to the Dao Hall. All of these sixteen, without exception, were extremely talented, and they were the kind that could become Nascent Soul monsters if given some resources.
When Li Shiyin followed Qin Ran into the Danfeng team, there were seven disciples standing there. Of these seven disciples, four were enrolled in the Sword Peak and three in the Qi Peak.
In addition to the peaks and veins that had been determined before Li Shiyin, the inner disciples for this Dao Ceremony were assigned as follows:
The main peak gets five disciples; the sword peak gets six disciples; the qi peak gets four; and the elixir peak gets one.
At this point, the five-day ceremony of asking for the way came to an end.
