MTL - Natural Fairy Species

  Chapter 310 Screening layer by layer

  Wan Xianjianqian, after the first round of screening, has successfully reduced nearly 10,000 applications for casual cultivators to about 2,000.

   These people who were eliminated did not leave, and they still watched the excitement around them.

  Not only was he curious about the newcomer Tian from Hejian County, but he also wanted to see who the Foundation Establishment Dan promised in this apprenticeship ceremony would end up with.

  The casual cultivators who were eliminated were either in their seventies or eighties, with only the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining, and only one-handed basic five-element spells.

  Or the past has been full of bad deeds, and the behavior is comparable to that of a demon cultivator, which was exposed by reports.

  The whole process doesn’t take long, basically one meeting will determine whether you can join the next round.

  Originally, there were 18 thousand-year-old ghost willows planted here, which are haunting. Every night, they cry and mourn, and there are countless ghosts floating around.

  Since the Qingfeng Gate became the master, three second-order formations have been arranged to transform ghosts and cleanse ghost energy.

  After a few years, the ferocious faces on the ghost willow tree disappeared, and the bark gradually changed from dark black to brown.

   Sitting in the shade of a tree, you will no longer have a cold back and a feeling of spookiness.

  Under the largest willow tree, a high platform was set up, and five elders who established the foundation sat on it.

   "It's the first time that Hejian County has recruited students and recruited new students. Everything is well organized and the response has been overwhelming... I didn't expect Junior Brother Li to be proficient in general affairs. It's a shame that he hasn't arranged a formal job yet. Why don't you come to my Law Enforcement Palace?"

  Long Long sat at the head, with skin as white as snow. In recent years, as he assumed the position of senior elder in the Hall of Law Enforcement, his expression became colder and colder.

  The name of Fairy Bingshan spread like wildfire, and all the disciples knew that Elder Long of the Hall of Law Enforcement was the most unselfish and strictly abided by the rules of the sect.

   Falling into her hands, you can only consider yourself unlucky, don't think that you will be lenient and let you go.

  Even the relatives and descendants of their Long family committed crimes, and they were punished strictly according to the rewards and punishments of the sect, and they were punished to the mine veins for five years of hard labor.

   In previous years, an elder was responsible for the opening of the mountain gate.

  As the number of recruits increases, the workload becomes heavier. Only these few times have two elders co-chaired.

  Hejian County is a special case. It is the first time to recruit disciples on a newly occupied land, so a lot of attention must be paid.

   Li Guizhen and two elders were in charge of coordinating the matter. At the last moment, Long Long, the second in command of the Hall of Law Enforcement, and an elder of the Hall of Chuangong visited Wanxianjian in person to ensure the completion of the matter.

"Thanks to the help of a few senior brothers and the title of master, I can only do some small things within my power... The Charter of the Chief of the Law Enforcement Hall prohibits all illegal activities of the disciples of the inner punishment sect, and prohibits the monks of the two counties from exceeding the rules. I can handle it."

   Li Guizhen spoke modestly, not caring about the olive branch thrown by Long Long.

   "Besides, I have not been under Master's sect for a long time, and there are still many places I need to ask for advice and study, so it is inconvenient to stay away."

   "Junior Brother Li can often listen to lectures by Patriarch Bai's side, which is enviable... Permanent residence in the Law Enforcement Hall has heavy files, and it is indeed not suitable for a penance like Junior Brother."

  Long Long's complexion was as usual, and he still said in a cold tone.

   "After the apprentice recruitment ceremony, I would like to ask Junior Brother Li to pass it on for me. I want to meet Patriarch Bai."

  Elder Gao Gong of the Law Enforcement Hall, who is in the same position as the Vice Hall, only behind the Hall Master.

  Everyone in the sect knows that Long Long is the next candidate for the head of the Hall of Law Enforcement.

  The cultivation base has already reached the middle stage of foundation establishment. After taking down the ghost spirit gate treasury, the sect has a large number of breakthrough pills. Her attack on the late stage of foundation establishment has been included in the plan.

  In the eyes of everyone, Long Long is the best among the elders of the Mesozoic Era, and together with Su Li, he is called the elder who has the best chance of taking over the position of Hall Master.

  But only she knows in her heart that the junior who was able to carry out the mission of the sect side by side, has now grown into a dazzling existence that cannot be seen no matter how much she looks up.

  Even his disciples may catch up in a short time, and even surpass him in cultivation base.

  When discussing, everyone will subconsciously ignore Bai Zichen's age.

   Forgot the aloof Patriarch Bai, who is considered young among the elders of the Mesozoic generation.

  After Long Long entered the middle stage of foundation establishment, he was originally going to be awarded the position of the elder of the prison.

   But remembering that this position was once held by Patriarch Bai, he was ashamed to take it.

   Simply go one step further, pretending that the position of Prison Elder does not exist, and directly become Gao Gong Elder.

   "Returning to the elders, there is a famous casual cultivator in the re-examination who has a special situation. Several of us have different opinions, and we can't make a decision..."

  Under the high stage, a capable deacon stepped forward to report, his face was flushed red, presumably he had an argument with his fellow disciples.

  Baixigou Jiang Yonglu, sixty-seven years old, five-level qi refining, first-level peak clothing master.

   "So it's for this person, what's the point of your argument?"

   Li Guizhen read the casual cultivator's resume and handed it to Long Long.

   "The rest of the deacons think that it is enough to give Jiang Yonglu the status of a handyman disciple. The disciples feel that there should be outer disciples, otherwise it will violate the purpose of this sect to recruit new disciples, and it will not be possible to attract more Hejian monks."

  The deacon had a loud voice, loudly expressing his views in front of several elders.

   "Sixty-seven years old, a first-order peak clothing master... Sister Long, what do you think?"

   Li Guizhen originally wanted to reply that it was unreasonable to make trouble. It would be good for a 67-year-old casual practitioner in the mid-stage of qi refining to be included in the sect, but he thought that the disciples of the outer sect were not dreaming.

  But after thinking about it, it was wrong, and I felt that it was really difficult to make a decision.

   Possess a first-level peak skill, if it is alchemy or weapon refining, let alone an outer disciple, even an inner disciple who is a little younger may not be able to make an exception.

   As a casual cultivator, he can self-cultivate to this level. After systematic training and teaching, the second level can be said to be a certainty.

  A Tier 2 Alchemist will have no less effect on the sect than a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

  In the entire alchemy hall, there are no more than six second-tier alchemists, who are responsible for more than 90% of the alchemy refining work of Qingfengmen.

   Unfortunately, this old man Jiang is an extremely unpopular clothes maker.

  It was so cold that there was no inheritance of this kind of skill in the Qingfeng sect, and it was so cold that Li Guizhen didn't realize that it was one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

  Yishishi, as the name suggests, is the one who makes vestments and Taoist robes.

  In addition to a better appearance, it can also make the cassock have all kinds of magic. The basic requirements are that water, fire, and dust do not fall.

  High-grade cassocks and robes even come with forbidden magic and secret techniques, which can be activated automatically under certain circumstances without activation.

  However, this skill is embarrassing because ordinary monks don't have spirit stones to spend on vestments, and high-level monks are more willing to refine it themselves if they need it.

  On the one hand, it is more suitable and convenient.

   On the other hand, the forbidden secret technique attached to the high-level cassock robe is often the last trump card to bring the dead back to life.

  The most important nature is surprise, no one knows its existence.

   Then it is even more impossible to entrust it to others for refining, which makes the clothing master rank last among all the arts of cultivating immortals.

   "I heard that the disciples of the Yuanying sect will all have uniform robes, unlike the ordinary Taoist robes embroidered with maple leaves. It is a good thing to have a clothing master to improve the sect's Taoist robes."

  Long Long pondered for a while, and put forward his own idea.

"However, outer sect disciples are designed to allow disciples to forge ahead on the road of cultivation and climb to new heights... It is impossible for this disciple to pass the sect's small competition when he becomes an outer sect disciple at his age. Why don't we allow him to do it for only two years?" Disciple of miscellaneous servants, immediately transferred to be in charge of the general affairs hall, can be regarded as making the best use of everything."

  Like the standard Taoist robes of the Holy Lotus Sect, it is fundamentally different from the various Taoist robes currently issued by the Qingfeng Sect.

  The so-called standard is not only the uniform style and material, but also the consistent pattern and logo.

  Taking the Daoist Robe of the Holy Lotus Sect as an example, the Qi Refining disciples all send out early warning signals at critical moments, and when they are in a coma and unconscious state, they will automatically activate a thick soil cover when they are attacked.

  The cost of making such a Taoist robe will not be lower than that of refining the best magic weapon.

   Only the Yuanying Dazong like the Holy Lotus Sect, as the co-master of Liang Guoxiu's Immortal Realm, has the capital to make advanced standard Taoist robes for tens of thousands of Qi Refining disciples.

  The rest of the elders have the same opinions as Long Long, they can shorten the training time of the handyman disciples, but they cannot directly teach the outer disciples.

   Li Guizhen remained silent, it was impossible to ask Master about such trivial matters.

  He was thinking in his heart what kind of decision Master would make if he encountered this situation.

  Several thoughts turned around, until I recalled what Bai Zichen said to him a month ago, this time recruiting new Wulinggen fairy seedlings is the same as recruiting new Wulinggen fairy seedlings, and they are still included.

   "The first-order peak skill is not easy, and it can fill the vacancy in the cassock and Taoist robes of our sect... To be promoted to the position of outer sect disciple, all the benefits are the same as normal outer sect disciples."

   Li Guizhen is the person in charge of the apprenticeship ceremony, since he has made a decision, other people should abide by it.

  Even if Long Long had a much higher status in the sect than him, he couldn't dismiss his decision at this moment.

   What's more, Long Long held the teacup quietly, and didn't have any thoughts at all because of the different opinions of a casual cultivator.

  After this small episode, several people quickly selected candidates for the handyman disciples and outer disciples among the nearly thousand casual cultivators who entered the third round.

  There are only ten places left for inner disciples, which is still blank.

   "The disciples of the inner sect have always been handpicked by the ancestor Jiedan or the head of the sect... This time, in order to take care of Hejian County, ten places were specially opened."

  Long Long glanced across the tentative list of 110 outer disciples, feeling that these disciples from Hejian County were really lucky.

   Without this care policy, only the top three of the Zongmen Xiaobi can become inner disciples every year.

   It is very difficult for the disciples of Wanxianjian Branch to compete with the disciples of this mountain. It is estimated that ten years will not be able to gather ten inner disciples.

   "Shouldn't we submit the list of outer disciples and be judged by Patriarch Bai?"

   "No, at least you have to draw out the candidates, otherwise it will be impossible for the master to see all the more than one hundred outer doors?"

  Li Guizhen resolutely opposed it, and first copied Mi Wanding, who was first on the tentative list of outer disciples, to the list of inner disciples.

   This is the name that the Mi family finally reported, and it was approved by Patriarch Bai to reward the Mi family for their secret work of refining swords.

   "Brothers, why don't we each express our opinions and select the twenty most outstanding outer disciples for the master to judge."

   "Junior Brother Li is mature and prudent, so act accordingly."

   "That's right, you can't bother Patriarch Bai with more trivial matters."

   Several elders have no disagreement, the position of inner disciples is too sensitive.

  If Old Ancestor Jiedan hadn’t personally supervised this time, everyone would definitely not say a word, just send the list back to the mountain and ask the head teacher to issue an order.
