After an hour of driving, a large and solemn Taoist temple appeared, shrouded in hazy night fog, like a silhouette floating on the floating clouds, looking extremely silent and solemn.

As Fat Lao Tao got off the carriage, Long Wu looked at the quiet environment and dense woods around him, and felt very comfortable! "I will rest here tonight, and I will take you to the Taoist temple early tomorrow morning." While speaking, Fatty

The old Taoist pointed with his hand to a small Qingtang tile building not far away.

Regarding the Yuntian Sect, Long Wu only found a smattering of relevant information from the recovered memory. In fact, he only had scattered knowledge about the common sense of cultivating immortals.

In fact, most of the cultivation disciples in Yuntian Sect come from vassal cultivating families and some small forces. At the same time, they also recruit young casual cultivators from outside. If any sect force wants to continue for a long time, it must

To expand, new strength is an indispensable part of it, and even Yuntian Sect is no exception. Among the many disciples, some have poor qualifications and messy spiritual roots, and it is difficult to achieve anything after several years of hard training.

To achieve success, as a disciple of the Yuntian Sect, you have to return to secular life, marry a wife and have children. Although the descendants born may not necessarily have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, there are still more or less one or two heirs. The sons of these descendants

She will be directly sent to the Yuntian Sect for training. If she is a daughter, then the Yuntian Sect will exchange it with the Hehuan Sect, which only accepts female disciples. If the virtuous cycle continues for a long time, there is still hope for one or two accomplished disciples in the Yuntian Sect.

of.

In addition, finding people with spiritual roots among the many mortals has become a measure for all sects. Although the chance is not high, it can still recruit a few or even a dozen people every year.

For the Yuntian Sect, a large number of mortal men are needed to come to Taoist temples to become monks in order to maintain the daily affairs of the Taoist temple. In fact, not all Taoist priests who become monks in Taoist temples cannot marry and have children, but the sects are different, just like the Yuntian Sect.

In the same lineage, it has been stipulated since ancient times that all disciples practicing in the sect are not allowed to marry and have children, and can only devote themselves to cultivating Taoism! In order to cover the eyes and ears of mortals, Yuntian Sect divided the Taoist temple into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is only for those who have

The disciples of Linggen practice, while the mortal disciples in the outer courtyard receive pilgrims and let good men and women offer incense and pray for blessings. The two do not interfere with each other, and they do not interact with each other until death!

The next day, Long and Wu, led by Fat Old Taoist, walked up the stairs to the main hall. Looking at the huge coniferous pines on both sides, tall and green, and the Taoist temple reflected in the green trees, looking from a distance, they saw that there

Amidst the layers of mist, a huge Taoist temple stands on the cliff! Layers upon layers of pavilions stand among the majestic and winding mountains. The towering pale green trees are all bathed in the rose-red morning glow. What a beautiful sight.

The quiet and mysterious Yuntian Sect!

After entering the mountain gate and passing through the layers of buildings with deep winding paths, Long and Wu followed Fat Lao Dao to a simple, simple and elegant attic.

I saw the fat old Taoist chanting the Taoist name: "Disciple, Qingxuzi, bring here the four disciples we have recruited this year." Not long after, a little Taoist boy came to the house, saluted the fat old Taoist and said, "See Master, Uncle

,Thank you for your hard work this time!"

The fat old Taoist waved his hand, smiled bitterly, and said to the four of Long Wu: "You and this senior brother, please go into the room and take the test!" After saying this, the fat old Taoist bowed respectfully to the door and then quietly left.

Retreat.

Long and Wu followed the Taoist boy into the attic. The spacious hall was filled with smoke, giving people an extraordinary feeling. It was probably still early, so only two young men arrived early and saw Long and Wu.

, nodded slightly.

Long Wu looked around and saw that although the two of them were only in their teens, their demeanor was mature, steady and extraordinary! They should be the children of wealthy families from a big country. Seeing that the four Long Wu people did not judge people by their appearance, their knowledge and conduct were

He is obviously much better at doing things than ordinary farm boys.

The little Taoist boy said a few words and then quietly left, leaving a few people looking at each other. Long Wu's journey of thousands of miles was indeed not in vain, and he still valued these two people. Although their qualifications and potential were unknown, this was the first time they had met.

.But these two young men are much more cautious and steady than others. On the road of cultivating immortality, no one can guarantee that something unexpected will happen. We are all young people, and once we get started, we are brothers in the same sect. Many friends lead to many paths.

, helping each other will always go further.

With a plan in mind, Long Wu walked forward and said hello to the two of them in a polite and humble manner.

When they met Long Wu, the two of them had a good impression of him. Due to their family backgrounds, these two had been sophisticated since childhood. Small groups were inevitable anywhere. He could see that Long Wu wanted to

He is much calmer and more mature than ordinary teenagers, so he is worth making friends with. Seeing Long Wu greeting him, one of them replied: "If we are destined, we will all be brothers in the same sect from now on. Please take care of me more."

The three of them got along quite well, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves while chatting. After chatting for a quarter of an hour, the little Taoist boy brought over a dozen young people one after another, and an hour later, thirty-one young people arrived one after another.

and children, and thirteen adult men.

Just when a group of people were whispering, three middle-aged Taoists walked from the side hall. They were dressed in Bagua Taoist robes and their eyes were quite kind. As soon as Long Wu's eyes fell on one of them, he felt

He felt a sense of coercion coming towards him. He quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head with a respectful expression.

Seeing these three middle-aged Taoists, everyone in the hall was surprised. They stood up one after another without hesitation, bowed deeply to the three Taoists, and made expressions of listening attentively. These people are not stupid, even if they are

Children also know that whether they can enter Yuntian Sect depends entirely on the three people in front of them, so naturally they dare not leave any bad impression on these three people.

Seeing that Long Wu and others were very knowledgeable, the Taoist leader showed a satisfied expression on his face. For these teenagers and children, they either have good spiritual qualifications and have the potential to be cultivated;

The Yuntian Sect, like other sects, is very happy to accept it. The former can make the Yuntian Sect endure for a long time, and even flourish; the latter can protect the religion wholeheartedly, become a devout believer, and sacrifice life and death for the rise and fall of the Yuntian Sect; even if

Even if he acts as cannon fodder, the latter will never look back!

For adult men, most of these are casual cultivators. As long as the basic skills are practiced to a higher level, they will accept them no matter how poor their spiritual roots are. Because many things in Taoist temples still need these people to take care of them.

.

In any interface, casual cultivators are the largest group and also the lowest group. Those casual cultivators who have certain basic skills, some of whom have poor spiritual roots, know full well that they cannot enter the sect of cultivating immortals with their own qualifications.

There is no future at all, they may always be low-level disciples. But they have a common idea, that is, they always find it easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree! After spending several years in the sect, at the worst, they can get to know some high-level monks.

Don’t think about yourself, but also think about your descendants.

The Yuntian Sect is a Taoist religion with many rules and regulations, so many casual practitioners are unwilling to come to become a monk for practice. The Yuntian Sect is forced to have no choice but to change its rules and want to recruit more disciples, so it can only choose a compromise method, which is to reduce the number of disciples.

The threshold for recruiting disciples has been raised, and the conditions for recruiting disciples have been relaxed a lot. This has led to some casual cultivators coming to seek refuge! However, Yuntian Sect only provides corresponding protection and care to these people. After all, the trivial matters of the Taoist temple and the management of immortal cultivation resources are needed

With a large number of manpower, these things cannot be done by elite disciples, direct disciples, or high-level monks.

The three middle-aged Taoists walked to the armchairs that had been placed in the middle of the hall and sat down. The leader said: "Everyone, since you are willing to come to our Yuntian Sect to practice, I am very happy. As long as the adult men are born, there is no big problem.

, you can join this sect. As for the remaining teenagers and children, if you want to join this sect, you must go through a test. Only those who can pass the test will be accepted by our Yuntian Sect. Now you come forward one by one,

Let the three of me test your spiritual roots."

Among the people present, only the four Long Wu were children recruited from outside. Apart from Long Wu, who knew about cultivation, the other three knew nothing about it. The remaining people were either from a cultivating family or had been practicing for a certain period of time.

He is a casual cultivator who knows very well about detecting spiritual roots. He saw an adult man step forward and saluted the three people sitting there: "Thank you for your trouble, senior!"

He saw that the leader's eyes were slightly closed, and after a moment he said: "The three spiritual roots of metal, water, wood, and Qi training are at the tenth level. This little Taoist friend can join our Yuntian Sect."

Hearing this, Long Wu's eyes narrowed. The man being tested in front of him looked to be in his twenties, but he was actually at the tenth level of Qi training! This was really beyond Long Wu's expectation.

The Qi training period is the basic period for cultivating immortals, and is divided into fifteen levels. The basic skills practiced during this period are mainly to draw the Qi from the human body, condense it together, and then melt it into the bones, meridians, and flesh.

Lay a solid foundation for the next step!

As the adult men were taken away by Taoist boys one after another after being tested, some young men from cultivating immortal families braved their courage and came to the three Taoists.

"The four spiritual roots are pseudo-spiritual roots. Judging from the overall situation, this person should be a person with low qualifications. However, only by passing the test can he enter our Yuntian Sect." The Taoist leader said slowly.

Hearing this, the young man looked depressed and followed the little Taoist boy out of the hall with some dejection.

When it was Long Wu's turn to test, the three Taoists all looked shocked. One of them said: "This child is the boy with eight spiritual roots mentioned by Qing Xuzi?"

"Gold, wood, water, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness! The eight attributes are mixed together. Apart from this little guy, can you find another person?"

"It's weird! It's weird! I have been practicing for more than a hundred years, and this is the first time I have seen someone with eight spiritual roots!"

Long Wu, the voice transmitter of the three people in the middle, could not hear a word. He could only see the lips of the three Taoists opening and closing constantly, but could not hear any sound. The three people shook their heads for a while, and frowned from time to time.

Long Wu's heart was filled with fifteen buckets of water, and he stood there stupidly.

After a while, the leading Taoist waved his hand and said: "Take him down for testing."
Chapter completed!
