0133_ Handyman Disciple

One month before the opening of the Wanxin Secret Realm, all the 29 quotas of the Yunxia Sect were allocated, and there were [-] new disciples in the same class as me, including me, who got the quotas, and three of them were designated as handymen after the selection examination disciple.

To get a place, the handyman must first enter the outer door, then enter the inner door, and finally get a good ranking in the ranking competition.The process is quite tortuous.

In particular, there is no monthly routine for handyman disciples, and there is no course guidance and regular group training. They can only rely on doing tasks in exchange for contribution points and then in exchange for resources.

The handyman disciples of many sects are people who are too poor in aptitude and hope to be able to rely on some immortal energy in the sect to fight for a miracle, but Yunxia Sect is not. It shows that they are at least three spiritual roots. In terms of pure strength, there is no substantial difference between them and the outer disciples of the same class.

The difference between these handyman disciples and the outer disciples of the same class is that they do not have enough self-awareness. There is more than [-]% difference between who they think they are and who they actually show, or they know that they are I don't like something but force myself to do it out of various scruples.

However, they also know the existence of errors and disobedience, and although they are not very frank, they will not be too stubborn to conceal them.Yunxiazong let them temporarily serve as handymen in order to wear away their dishonesty and dare not face themselves.When they meet the requirements of the Yunxia Sect, they will have the opportunity to enter the Misty Secret Realm to take a test once a year. If they pass, they can enter the outer door, and then follow the procedures of the outer door to fight for the opportunity to enter the inner door.

Generally speaking, it takes two years at the fastest to go from a handyman to an inner sect, because there is only one chance a year to test whether the handyman is qualified to enter the outer sect, and there is also only one chance a year to select people from the outer sect to the inner sect through two methods.And these two "once a year" times coincide, so it is impossible for a handyman disciple to be promoted from a handyman to an outer sect and from an outer sect to an inner sect in the same year.

But this time, due to the opening of Wanxin's secret realm, a selection was temporarily added to give the handyman disciple a chance.

In the eyes of many sects, the handyman disciples of the Yunxia Sect are a waste of existence. They have such good aptitudes, but they have been honed and even called humiliating. Invest in other sects, and their development, Jindan Nascent Soul can be found everywhere.

——Three spiritual roots, double spiritual roots, and even single spiritual roots, of course they have great potential, and immature minds at a young age can't explain anything at all.

Many sects laughed at Yunxiazong's rules and abandoned good seedlings in vain, just like Yunxiazong valued loyalty even more than qualifications, it was too rigid, and lost the foundation of natural cultivation.

But Yunxiazong still went its own way.

"There are a lot of people with good qualifications," Elder Huigu of Cangshuge explained to me when I read this part of the material, "Even though the cultivation talent and resource conditions are getting worse and worse, as far as we at the top are really It’s still far from being hungry. We can still pick and choose. There are very few single spiritual roots? Go to Kunlun and see, if you meet three people, there may be two single spiritual roots, and one double spiritual root mutant spiritual root .The consequence of bad conditions is first of all a greater concentration of good things."

Elder Huigu also said: "It's a choice to look at aptitude and not character. It's also a choice for us to look at aptitude first and then loyalty. There is no right or wrong. If we say that the stubbornness of our Yunxia sect has lost its naturalness, then How do those arbitrarily divided black and white statements reflect the tolerance of nature? Casualness does not mean that there is no principle, and firmness does not mean stubbornness. They do have similarities, but they are also different, you can experience it for yourself.”

0134_ Wanxin City

When I was learning Chinese in my last life, one of the topics I hated the most was word discrimination. How to choose the one with the most different meaning from the four synonyms, and how to choose one of the four words to fill in the sentence to make the sentence smooth. It’s annoying. The degree is second only to correcting typos in sentences or words and phoneticizing polyphonic characters placed in different sentences.

Now I don't bother to care about the difference between Yunxiazong's adherence to principles and the stubborn lameness that outsiders say. Anyway, more of the handyman disciples choose to stay in Yunxiazong than leave, and Yunxiazong has always had a prosperous population, so that's fine.

Turn your attention back to Wanxin's Secret Realm.

On the day before the opening of the secret realm, the senior brother brought a few golden core stage senior brothers and sisters to transport [-] foundation establishment stage disciples to the city next to the opening entrance of the Wanxin secret realm by flying boat.

After entering Wanxin Secret Realm, our 300 people will be led by the No.1 Bian Xili in the ranking competition once every ten years, but outside the secret realm, the big brother is the boss.

The city next to the entrance of the Wanxin Secret Realm is called Wanxin City. Obviously, this is a city developed on the basis of the Wanxin Secret Realm.

A hundred years is enough time in the mortal world, but in the cultivation world, opening the Wanxin Secret Realm once in a hundred years is enough to maintain the prosperity of Wanxin City for 100 years.

"I was just thinking, your Yunxia Sect probably doesn't have any elders to follow this year."

As soon as we got off the airship, someone greeted us familiarly, oh, it should be said that they were a few Jindan stages with the big brother and the others, greeting us.

That man... I knew he was a sword cultivator just by feeling, with a blade-like sword intent, as if without a scabbard, so heavy that I couldn't pay attention to what he looked like.

The elder brother looked back at us, probably thinking that although we were a little uncomfortable, there was nothing serious about it, so he didn't move, and only talked to the sword repairman: "You look like this, how dare Jianzong let you out? Are you here? To hold the line? Or to cause trouble?"

That sword cultivator: "Oh, something went wrong in my practice. I came here to find a chance. Oh, first of all, I am not the leader of the secret team this time. All my actions are related to our Jianzong's secret team. The team doesn't matter."

Eldest brother: "I don't even dare to let you lead the team."

"Well said." A female voice interjected, "This idiot insisted that there was an opportunity for him to solve the problem near Wanxin's secret realm, so he followed him shamelessly. All the brothers and sisters were driven crazy by him along the way. He still has the face Get your hands on the kids."

That sword cultivator: "Hey, speak with conscience, obviously they were the ones who attacked me first."

Female voice: "Ha, why didn't they kill you?"

Although the sword cultivator's sword intent was chaotic, he spoke slowly: "Of course it's because they can't beat me."

On Yunxiazong's side, a senior sister complained: "Jianzong is going to fight among themselves again. Every time I see them, they always have to fight with their own people. Are you annoying?"

A brother said: "It's fine for them to fight among themselves, but can they not block the road?"

Another brother asked: "Chai Huou's sword intent is even more chaotic, senior brother, let's help the younger brothers and sisters block it?"

Big brother: "It's okay, it won't cause any harm. Most of them have adapted to it, and a few weak ones can still hold on. Chai Huou still has a sense of proportion."

A senior sister: "Really? Look at the pale face of the Second Young Master."

Me: ... Please don't lie down.

Big brother: "His skin is too delicate, everything is easy to get on his face."

I turned the table in my heart: Don't make me a topic, can you? !

0135_ circle

Every time the Wanxin secret realm is opened, it is like a big gathering in the cultivation world.The main reason is that the level of Wanxin Secret Realm is low enough and the number of people it can accommodate is large enough that monks of all levels can participate.

It is as mighty as the three top sects, and 700 people are all dressed in the uniforms of the sect, which is quite a spectacle.Of course, the seven first-class sects are not much weaker in this regard, and the uniform uniform of 300 people is not too weak in terms of momentum.Except for these ten groups, the others are relatively scattered, especially casual cultivators, who come and go alone, and don't deal with sect disciples at all. They don't care about momentum and unity, what they care about is benefits.

The communication circle can also be seen here.There are more exchanges between the three majors, and there are also more exchanges between the seven majors, but there is only politeness between the three majors and the seventh majors. Similarly, there is not much enthusiastic conversation between the seventh majors and the second-rate sects.

However, this cannot be regarded as discrimination by the strong against the weak. The main reason is that everyone has no common topic.For example, when Chai Huou from Jianzong saw us before, he said that there are no elders in charge. In his eyes, there is not much difference between the golden core stage and the foundation stage, because they are all juniors in the seven majors and have no qualifications to accept apprentices.

However, Jindanqi is placed in the second-rate sect whose highest cultivation level is Yuanying, that is the mainstay, the elder.In his own school, he is a veteran who educates the juniors casually, but when he faces the Seventh University, he is instantly on an equal footing with the juniors who were educated in the Seventh University, and it is strange that he can talk to each other.

Not to mention that Jindan has become an elder in the third-rate sect, and the only person in charge may be Foundation Establishment. How can people communicate with this?It is better to keep a polite distance.

Relatively speaking, in this regard, there is still some room for communication between the Seventh and Three majors, because everyone who came was from the younger generation of the sect, and Jin Danqi led the team.Although even the Nascent Soul Stage is considered a junior in the three majors, after all, a Wanxin Secret Realm does not need the Nascent Soul Stage to make a move. Even if the team comes along just in case, they basically don’t show up. Jindan is the leader in foreign exchanges. .Therefore, Jindan vs Jindan, juniors vs juniors, everyone is fairly fair.

Of course, theory belongs to theory. In fact, it is still not easy to cross boundaries between circles.The status of the three top sects is too strong now, and the list of the top sects has occasionally changed or has a tendency to change until recent years, but the three, since the establishment of the sect, two of them have been firmly entrenched in the cultivation world At the top of the first cataclysm, the third also fully rose.

Especially Kunlun, compared with the other two top sects, there have been troughs, Kunlun has always been high, almost a myth.Kunlun is no longer like a synonym for a sect, but more like a belief in the realm of comprehension.

Although modern times crudely use the highest cultivation level in the sect to classify the sect ranks, saying that those with the Mahayana stage are the top sects, but in fact, even if there is a cultivator who transforms gods among the seven great masters who suddenly breaks through to the Mahayana stage, everyone flatters him. His sect is now the top sect, but the sect's confidence is definitely not enough, and it is even more impossible to compete for resources of the same level as the three majors.

There is even a dejected saying that in modern times, it is not so much that there are Mahayana monks as the top sect, it is better to say that only the top sect can cultivate Mahayana monks.

0136_ Casual Repair Alliance

As the saying goes, you can enjoy the shade by leaning on a big tree. I have always admired the monks who wandered away to repair the road.Guidance from elders, communication with peers, sharing of information, trading of resources... Although it cannot be said that casual cultivators do not have all of them, compared to sect disciples, they are lacking too much.

Some monks did not join the sect because of their limited aptitude, they could not enter a high-level sect, and felt that the third-rate sect could not provide much help, so they chose to rely on themselves.Some monks insist on becoming casual cultivators because they can't stand the shackles of the sect, and would rather suffer a little bit, as long as their hearts are free.

Whether it is forced or voluntary choice, it is a fact that the cultivation path of casual cultivators is more difficult. In order to reduce some hardships, the casual cultivator alliance is naturally formed, and all casual cultivators can join it, and form a loose mutual aid. A whole.

In the modern age, the Loose Cultivation Alliance is so huge that it is not a sect but it is better than a sect. There are alliance contribution points, missions, exchanges, and bridges for juniors who need guidance and invite talented people in Loose Cultivators to guide them...

As a result, some casual cultivators who advocate freedom are not willing to be named in the casual cultivator alliance at all, and feel that its restrictions are more excessive than sects.

In recent years, the Loose Cultivator Alliance has also realized that its own development direction has deviated from its original intention, and if the Loose Cultivator Alliance no longer focuses on the casual cultivator but instead develops new sects in disguise, then compared with the three big seven or even the old second-rate sects In the future, they will not have any advantages, and it is impossible to directly challenge the three big ones like now.

After all, the largest part of the Loose Cultivator Alliance lies in the number of monks and the breadth of distribution, but when it comes to quality, let alone the Big Three, any one of the Seven Big Brothers can beat them.There are too few people with good aptitude who do not enter the sect, and it is too difficult for casual cultivators to survive.

So the Loose Cultivator Alliance is still slowly returning to the right path, to be a loose connection between the Loose Cultivators, and not to dream of "dominating the world of self-cultivation" in Luantan.
