Sword Moon Lyrics

Shi Feng shook his head and said, "I don't think this is appropriate. As the saying goes, a good teacher produces good students. The more powerful the cultivator is, the more disciples he should accept. Although it may delay his personal time, it can cultivate more talents for the sect. For example, those who are low in the assessment will pass the review after three years. Even if there are gems among them, what future can they have if they follow such a low-level master like us!"

Liu Yunzi said, "Although this is true, powerful cultivators are more concerned about their own cultivation, while the sect is eager for immediate benefits. Seeing that someone is about to advance to the Golden Core stage, do you have the nerve to ask him to give up his cultivation and lead a group of stupid disciples? In addition, you are wrong in one thing. You We are just teachers of enlightenment, not the kind of formal masters who open the ancestral hall and are written into the sect's genealogy. If they pass the review in three years, they will also transfer to other people's disciples, and those people will be their real masters. "

Shi Feng smiled bitterly, "It turns out that we are just coolies who do enlightenment teaching."

Chang Qing asked on the side, "Master, how many disciples do you think we will take this time?"

Liu Yunzi said, "According to the previous rules, the sect recruits only a few hundred people each time, and there are only dozens of lower-level disciples who pass the assessment. If they are divided among the thirty of you, one or two per person. And after all, you are foundation-building cultivators. You will be angry if you are caught as teachers, and the sect is embarrassed to really treat you as cattle. Dang Ma. Hehe, but, this time... "

Chang Qing was surprised, "Is there anything different this time?"

Liu Yunzi said, "Of course. This time, the sect's conditions for recruiting disciples are much more relaxed than before. People from the eight great families can be directly shortlisted, and casual cultivators in the rivers and lakes can be shortlisted as long as they are recommended by the elders of the family or gang. In addition, our Taiji sect's foundation-building cultivators can also recommend candidates. "

Chang Qing said, "Foundation-building cultivators can be recommended? In the past, they had to be Jindan cultivators."

Liu Yunzi said, "Yes, in the past, our Taiji sect was famous for its strict selection of disciples among the nine major sects in Yan State, but this time it is different. Now that the nine major sects are not allowed to form alliances, conflicts between them are bound to be difficult. No need, the nine major sects are now trying their best to expand their power, and our Taiji Sect is no exception. According to the current standard, I am afraid that we will have to recruit thousands of people this time. In the past, each of you was assigned one or two, but this time I am afraid that we will have to recruit three or four. "

Chang Qing wailed, "Three or four, God, then I will teach these four people about the Hunyuan Sutra, Qi Refining Technique, and Basic Kung Fu every day in the future? How can I have time to practice in seclusion?"

Liu Yunzi said lightly, "As long as you put away your magical powers of visiting people and chatting, you will have plenty of time!"

In the following days, Shi Feng still retreated in the cave. In addition to practicing the four-door sword formation, he was also practicing his body. After all, this place where the three qi are mixed is really suitable for Wuming's body refining technique. Occasionally, he also looked inside the Yang Flint in his Dantian.

Although he successfully integrated the Yang Flint into his Dantian, Qianyu did not record how to use it afterwards in the classics. In fact, Qianyu himself had never obtained the Yang Flint, and he did not know the magical uses of the Yang Flint. He only knew that according to the old saying, the Yang Flint could overcome all the dark things in the world.

Shi Feng concentrated his mind and looked inward. The Yang Sui Stone was slowly rotating in his Dantian. Next to it was the Nine-base Spirit Platform that Shi Feng had condensed with great effort. As the foundation-building cultivator's cultivation deepened, the Spirit Platform would gradually shrink. When the soul was hidden inside, the cultivator could disperse the platform and try to form a pill.

At this moment, the Nine-base Spirit Platform was slowly rotating with Shi Feng's breathing. Since the Dantian was the place where the Qi was stored, the Qi had to pass through it no matter which meridian it traveled through. Therefore, the Yang Sui Stone Pill was also washed by the Qi all the time. Because Shi Feng had transformed his consciousness into the Stone Pill, the Stone Pill was like an organ in his body, and the changes inside it were visible.

Shi Feng saw that the Stone Pill was breathing in and out the Qi as he breathed, and he had a very strange feeling in his heart. He was just a foundation-building cultivator, but there was something like a golden pill in his body. It was really unbelievable.

Days passed by, and it was already the end of the year. The cultivators did not celebrate the New Year as lively as in the secular world. They only worshipped their ancestors on New Year's Eve, and there was no other action after that.

After the beginning of spring, Shi Feng's peaceful days were broken. He and Chang Qing and other 30 selected deacon disciples began to get busy preparing for the opening ceremony of the sect on the first day of March.

The tediousness of the affairs was far beyond Shi Feng's imagination. First, the number of people recommended by the elders and foundation-building cultivators of various families, sects, gangs, and sects was counted. In order to ensure safety, Shi Feng and others were also sent to various places to escort the candidates to Shigu Mountain.

Doing so was of course for the safety of the initial test disciples, and secondly, it was also responsible for supervision to see whether these disciples were really the candidates of the affiliated families and sects, so as to avoid any mistakes of being replaced, and cheating was not allowed to happen.

When the initial test disciples arrive at the mountain gate, they will be registered one by one. Regardless of whether these people can become Taiji disciples in the future, because they have entered the mountain gate, they have a certain understanding of the sect's secrets, so they must be recorded, in case something happens in the future, it is also easy to trace.

The registration includes the disciple's name, origin, the names and identities of the three generations of relatives, personal preferences and specialties, and in addition, a nameplate must be made for each disciple and dripped with blood.

The Deacon Hall temporarily built many simple houses in the West Valley for these disciples to rest. Since these people have not yet entered the Taoist practice and have not practiced fasting, they have to prepare meals for them. It is still very cold in the mountains in February and March, so bedding for sleeping is naturally indispensable.

After settling down, the sect test began in early March. Since the standards were greatly lowered this time, there were more than 3,000 initial test disciples, and the test had to be divided into several groups for simultaneous testing.

The first step is naturally the spiritual root test, which is the most basic and the most critical. Shi Feng and another foundation-building disciple followed the Jindan cultivator Feng Xianzi who returned to Yanfeng.

Feng Xianzi is a woman in her early forties, and she is serious. This is the first time Shi Feng has seen her, but he remembers that when he first entered the Refining Hall, Master Ganchu recruited Shi Feng as a servant because he wanted to help her repair the Hanlu Sword.

Feng Xianzi sat in the middle, and Shi Feng and the other two sat on both sides. They were responsible for the test records. There was also a disciple from the Deacon Hall who was responsible for carrying the spiritual root plate and serving tea and water.

In the yard, there were more than a hundred disciples waiting to be selected, looking nervous, and lined up one by one to be tested.

Shi Feng looked at them. The youngest was estimated to be only eleven or twelve years old, and the oldest would not be more than thirty. There were men and women, tall, short, fat and thin. Some of them were handsome and dressed brightly, and it can be seen that they came from wealthy families; some of them wore coarse cloth and had dark and yellow faces, and were obviously from poor families.

Shi Feng suddenly felt sad, thinking of the sudden disaster that happened, his family was destroyed, and he traveled thousands of miles to seek refuge in Taiji Sect. He hunted and begged along the way. When he arrived at Shigu Mountain, he was a beggar, without even a coarse linen shirt.

He knew nothing about the Taoist sect of cultivation back then. He came to Taiji Sect just to survive and have a meal. Looking back, it has been almost twenty years.

Shi Feng sighed, brushed away his thoughts, picked up the nameplate of the disciple in front of him, and the spiritual root plate did not react at all. He said lightly, "No spiritual root".

The disciple's face was ashen, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. Fairy Feng was angry and shouted, "Why are you crying?" With a wave of her hand, a strong wind swept the disciple aside, and she shouted, "Next, come here."

The tests were carried out one by one, and it lasted for three days before all the disciples were tested.

In the past few days, the sect has been discussing the experience of the spiritual root test. From time to time, there are news of strange spiritual roots. It is said that there are people with eight spiritual roots and double reverse spiritual roots. On the third day, there was a nine spiritual root, which caused a sensation in the sect.

The head of the sect, Xuanyi Zhenren, came in person. You know, nine spiritual roots are rare in a hundred years, and Taiji Sect has received another nine spiritual root disciple in addition to Qin Bing in the past twenty or thirty years.

This made Xuanyi Zhenren overjoyed. He was grateful for the blessing of the ancestors. After testing himself, he immediately announced that the disciple would directly enter the inner gate and no longer participate in other tests.

Of course, the talent is one in a million. After the preliminary selection, half of the three thousand disciples remained. Most of the other half of the disciples without spiritual roots went home directly. There were also a few people who stayed in the outer gate to work because of their background and origin, and returned to the family in the future.

Half of the three thousand initial test takers have spiritual roots. This ratio is already very high. You know, among ordinary people in the world, there is probably one person with spiritual roots in a hundred people.

The reason is that most of the people who passed the initial test are from aristocratic families. Their ancestors were cultivators themselves, and their bloodline inheritance makes their descendants have a high probability of possessing spiritual roots. After being screened by the clan, they are even more outstanding seedlings.

Of course, the 1,500 people who passed the spiritual root test did not enter the inner gate. They still had to go through three tests, which looked at the disciples' character, endurance and understanding.

After the three tests, the level can be comprehensively assessed. If you only have spiritual roots, but are as stupid as a cow and can't endure hardships, such a person will definitely be second-rate in the comprehensive assessment, and you can't enter the mountain gate even if you have spiritual roots.

Due to the venue, the test cannot accommodate a large number of people. Only more than a hundred people can be carried out every day. Shi Feng and others have to accompany the whole process during the test, and they can't let those disciples find out. This is to protect the safety of the disciples and record the performance of each disciple throughout the process. The more detailed the better, including the expression and reaction of the disciple when he suddenly encounters danger.

In this way, after two months of hard work, the opening ceremony finally came to an end. Taiji Sect recruited a total of 762 disciples this time, including 541 inner disciples, almost twice as many as in previous years.

On this day, the iron gate of the ancestral hall of Tiejian Peak, which had been closed for many years, was opened again. The huge ancestral hall was full of people. All the disciples, except those who were in the life and death gate or were ordered to go out on official business, had arrived.

The three seats above the ancestral hall were occupied by the three Jindan cultivators of Tiejian Peak, Dao Chong, Zhao Tianhu, and Liu Yunzi. The other disciples were on the left and right, and more than a hundred disciples knelt in the middle. They were the disciples assigned to Tiejian Peak for the opening of the sect this time.

Although the nine-spiritual root disciples were snatched away by Yantai Ridge early in the morning, there were eleven seven-spiritual root disciples among the disciples this time, especially one disciple with gold and wood dual spiritual roots, who was snatched from Diecui Peak, which made Tiejian Peak quite satisfied.
