Chapter 283 Talking Point

"Don't worry about that. Three spiritual roots have reached the standard of Changchun Temple to accept disciples. However, Changchun Temple does not only look at qualifications when accepting disciples. Character and character will also be considered. Anyway, next May, your son can go to Yuhua City to participate in the Fuding Conference. As long as he can pass the preliminary selection, it will not be a problem to become an outer disciple." Zhang Zhi said so.

On the side, the monk surnamed Lu shook his head: "It's not appropriate. As the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. There are too many people who want to join Changchun Temple. If you go in with three spiritual roots, you may stop at the Qi Refining Stage for life. It is safer to choose other sects that are slightly worse and more likely to be valued. Cultivation does not only look at qualifications, but also the investment of resources. "

"Slightly worse ones are Shuijing Palace and Bailuo Villa, these two sects have ancestors in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul." Yu Qingli said.

"Bailuo Villa is a family of immortal cultivators. Generally, it does not recruit disciples from other families. It is not a formal sect. As for Shuijing Palace, it only recruited female disciples in the past. Although it has begun to recruit male disciples in recent years, the disciples of this sect all practice water magic. I wonder if your son has water spiritual roots?" Zhang Zhi asked thoughtfully.

"No." Jiang Xiong shook his head regretfully.

"Then neither of these two will work. Then Daoyou can only go to a sect with a lower level and choose one from the sects with only the ancestors in the early stage of Yuanying." Zhang Zhi said with some regret.

"Among the sects of this level, the closest to Xiaohu City is Shengye Sect. The disciples under this sect are proficient in alchemy and medicine cultivation, and the entrance examination is also based on the talents in these two directions." The cultivator surnamed Lu said.

"In addition to Shengye Sect, Huoque Sect in the east of Dajin is also a good place to go. Their own sect is not weak, and they have a good relationship with Shuijing Palace. It is said that the sect competitions of the two sects are jointly held every year, and there are many exchanges and learning between them. However, their entrance examination mainly examines the disciples' fine degree of control over magic power. If your son wants to join, he has to work harder in this regard." Zhang Zhi said.

"There is also Qianjian Pavilion in the west of Dajin. The disciples in the sect are all sword cultivators, good at gold magic and attack. It is said that there is a sword cliff in the sect. The ancestors of Qianjian Pavilion will leave their inheritance on it. Any disciple can go there to comprehend. If you are lucky, you can get a powerful inheritance, but you can ascend to heaven in one step. However, the entrance examination of Qianjian Pavilion requires high comprehension, and participants need to have a solid foundation in swordsmanship. You should consider it more." The monk surnamed Lu added.

The monk surnamed Jiang nodded repeatedly, and at this moment, Fairy Hua frowned.

"You guys only talk about the sects of the Great Jin Dynasty, where do you put our sects in the Kingdom of Zhao?"

The monk surnamed Cui also said: "Yes, in the Kingdom of Zhao, there is the Five Thunder Sect, which is the best in the world for its thunder method, and the Spirit Talisman Sect, which is the best in the Central Plains for its talisman making technique. Although these two sects are not as large as Changchun Temple, they are also among the best in the entire Central Plains."

Jiang Xiong hurriedly asked: "What are the conditions for these two sects to recruit disciples?"

"If you want to join the Five Thunder Sect, you must pass their three thunder formations, which requires a lot of understanding, vision and courage. The Spirit Talisman Sect is simpler. As long as the disciple has a good memory, he can remember the runes within the specified time and copy them out of thin air." Fairy Hua said.

"I see, I've learned a lot." Jiang Xiong arched his hands and sat back alone, as if he was thinking about which sect to let his son try to join.

Seeing him leave, Zhang Zhi looked at Fairy Hua: "Fellow Daoist Jiang is now in Dajin, what's the problem with us recommending a sect in Dajin to him? Fairy Hua is so impatient. After all, she is only recommending your Zhao sect. Otherwise, why not recommend a few sects in Wu and Chu?"

Fairy Hua snorted coldly and did not answer. Seeing this, Yu Qingli stood up to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, it's just a small matter, why bother? By the way, I heard that several disciples of the Five Thunder Sect defected. I wonder if it's true or not?"

"Fellow Daoist Yu is quite well-informed. This matter was a sensation in the Zhao Kingdom's cultivation world at the time. It is said that they also brought a few Heart-Splitting Thunders out of the Five Thunder Sect. They have been sold for two thousand spirit stones each on the black market. I wonder if they still have them now." Fairy Hua nodded and said.

"Two thousand spirit stones? It's enough to buy two cheap high-grade magic tools. The Heart-Splitting Thunder is just a disposable magic tool. Is it really so valuable?" Yu Qingli was surprised.

"This is still a small amount. The Heart-Splitting Thunder is the unique magic weapon of the Five Thunder Sect. There are very few of them on the market, and its power is comparable to the full-strength attack of a peak foundation-building cultivator. When it comes to the critical moment, two thousand spirit stones in exchange for your life, will you trade it?" Fairy Hua asked back.

"Of course I will trade it. Maybe I will find it on the black market one day." Yu Qingli smiled.

"Just think about it. Until now, I haven't heard of anyone who has really bought it. It is estimated that it has been used by the traitors of the Five Thunder Sect when they escaped." Fairy Hua shook her head and said.

Yuan Ming, who was listening on the side, took a sip of tea calmly, looking at his nose and his heart, as if it had nothing to do with him, but he was happy in his heart. It seems that he had a good eye when he bought those Heart-Splitting Thunders!

With his own eloquence, three of them were only a thousand spirit stones at that time, which was much cheaper than here.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Zhang, you just said that Shuijing Palace is now recruiting male disciples. What's going on?" The cultivator named Cui suddenly asked at this time.

"What else could it be? The number of disciples they can recruit is decreasing year by year. If they don't lower the threshold a little bit and remove some insignificant restrictions, how can there be so many excellent disciples waiting for him to choose?" Zhang Zhi picked up the tea and took a sip.

"How could it be? Among the four major countries in the Central Plains, Dajin has the largest area, and there are hundreds of millions of mortals. How can there be a lack of excellent disciples?" The cultivator surnamed Cui was surprised.

"Haha, let me ask you, why is it said that the Dajin cultivation world is the strongest in the Central Plains?" Zhang Zhi smiled.

"Of course it's because of Changchun Temple. They are the only ones in the entire Central Plains with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator sitting in charge. How can they not be strong?" The cultivator surnamed Cui said without hesitation.

"That's it. You said Changchun Temple is so strong. Where do those excellent disciples go when they choose a sect?" Zhang Zhi shrugged.

"In fact, it's not just what Fellow Daoist Zhang said. Changchun Temple has controlled the government for hundreds of years. Every emperor who embarked on the path of immortality would join Changchun Temple. In this way, the whole Dajin has almost become their family. If a gifted person appears somewhere, the local sects don't even know about it, but Changchun Temple has already received the news and sent people to recruit him. Tell me, how can other sects compare with Changchun Temple in recruiting disciples?" The monk surnamed Lu sighed.

"It is said that not long ago, a monk from Changchun Temple proposed to merge the selection ceremonies of other sects in Dajin into the Fuding Conference of Changchun Temple. It is said that it is for the convenience of disciples who want to join the sect, so that they don't have to run around. But in the final analysis, it is actually for them to be able to recruit all the talents in Dajin. After all, if there is a choice, who would not want to join Changchun Temple?" Zhang Zhi also shook his head helplessly.

"This Changchun Temple acts so domineeringly, won't other sects have complaints?" The monk surnamed Cui frowned.

"Yes, of course not? But what can we do if we are dissatisfied? Changchun Temple has been arrogant for so many years. Who dares to really show his teeth to him? The independent cultivators are afraid of his power and the sects are afraid of his strength. Only Yuan Ming, who is not afraid of death, dares to provoke him in public." Zhang Zhi said helplessly.

"The national teacher secretly harmed Yuan Ming in the name of guiding the emperor to practice as soon as possible, and Changchun Temple oppressed other sects in the name of considering the Dajin cultivation world. What is the difference? In the end, it is not for themselves! Yuan Ming's "why" at the abdication ceremony, I don't know how many Dajin cultivators' voices were expressed. It's really great." The cultivator surnamed Lu sighed and applauded.

"Yes, Yuan Ming's move is very pleasing to the people. I don't know how many young disciples secretly regard him as an idol!" Zhang Zhi laughed and drank the tea in the cup.

On the side, Yuan Ming still sat in silence, his eyes as calm as the water in the teacup, without any waves. In his heart, he once again thought about the news about Changchun Temple that he knew so far, and secretly warned himself that it was right to take revenge for the sake of pleasure, but if he did not have absolute strength, he should not be so impulsive.

These people did not care about it and just listened to the story, which satisfied their vanity. But if Changchun Temple came to him one day, or even sent high-level cultivators to kill him, their after-dinner talk would probably be another saying such as "If you offend Changchun Temple, you are tired of living."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things. These have nothing to do with us. Speaking of which, the Tianxiang Auction will be held soon. Has anyone got the invitation?" Yu Qingli looked around and hurriedly changed the subject.

"How can it be that easy? We casual cultivators have no way to buy the invitation to the Tianxiang Auction." Zhang Zhi complained.

Yu Qingli chuckled and took out a purple invitation from his bosom: "Look, what is this?"

"Auction invitation? Where did you get it from?" Zhang Zhi was surprised.

"Haha, not long ago, a friend of mine got an invitation by chance, but because he couldn't go to the auction due to something, he transferred the invitation to me. Even so, I spent more than a hundred spirit stones to get it." Yu Qingli said with some pain.

"More than a hundred spirit stones just to buy an invitation? Although I have heard of the name of Tianxiang Auction, is this thing really worth the price?" The cultivator surnamed Cui questioned.

"Of course, you should know that this Tianxiang Auction is not just a high-end auction. When it is officially held, many sects from Dajin and Zhao will come to the Tianyu Building in the center of the lake to set up booths, and there will often be some novel things inside. Even if you don't have enough money and can't buy anything, just going in and taking a look to gain experience is worth the price." Zhang Zhi said with a smile.
