Chapter 1944: Selecting Talents
Ji Xiaotang said at this time, "There are some young people in the clan who have good qualifications. I plan to train them as the core cultivators of the family, or list them as the seeds of transformation, or directly list them as the seeds of refining emptiness!"
This is the usual practice of large sects and powerful forces. Some people have different destinies from others since birth.
The Wang family is now considered a powerful force, and it should do similar things.
Ji Xiaotang was also the second in command in the sect before. He was familiar with this kind of thing and felt that the effect was good. He decided to promote it in the Wang family.
After that, Ji Xiaotang also handed a list to Wang Hao.
These family cores need to focus on cultivating the sense of belonging and honor of the family, otherwise if they leave the family in the future, the family will suffer a great loss.
Those sects usually let the refining ancestors take them as successors or closed disciples. Family forces will also let the ancestors often preach, or take a few people to serve around them to cultivate feelings.
"This is feasible, but the selection criteria cannot only look at the spiritual root qualifications, but also the merits of their fathers. It's okay to select more people. Doing so can also encourage the tribe members to strive for progress."
The standard is too high. Some tribe members have no hope at all, so how can they work hard?
If the standard is lower, even if some tribe members have no hope, their sons and grandsons may be selected in the future. Can they not strive for a better future for their children and grandchildren?
Wang Hao put down the list and said, "Madam, you are responsible for this matter personally. After selecting people, bring them to me."
"Does my husband want to select two seedlings to support?" Ji Xiaotang was surprised. Teaching the younger generation is like teaching apprentices, which is very time-consuming.
"Just encourage them. If there are suitable ones, they can stay in the residence and clean the courtyard," Wang Hao nodded and smiled. A little bit of water flowing out from the fingernails of these ancestors is enough for these younger generations to eat oil.
Ji Xiaotang nodded thoughtfully.
A few days later, more than a dozen young men from the Wang family headed towards the top of Huayang Peak.
According to the rules, unless it is an emergency, ordinary clansmen are not allowed to fly above the waist of the main peak.
Their cultivation level is only the foundation building stage, and there are only two people in the Jindan stage, and there are even a few clansmen in the Qi Refining stage, so they are naturally not exempted.
The mountaintop area is the residence of the Wang family's ancestors. The residences of Wang Hao and Ji Xiaotang, several refining cultivators, are at the highest point.
As juniors, flying is disrespectful to the ancestors of the family, so they need to walk up the mountain.
Huayang Peak is tall and steep, and their cultivation level is not high. Walking is a test for them.
Among them, a young couple is particularly special.
They are all outstanding in the clan. Since the marriage policy has been slowed down, it is reasonable to say that they are young and should focus on the road. Few get married and have children.
However, the two of them can be selected for this talent selection, which must be extremely outstanding.
There are many mountain guards above the waist of the main peak, checking the identity jade cards of the cultivators coming in and out.
One of the middle-aged men was delighted when he saw the couple.
"Xiaojie, long time no see!"
Wang Xijie was startled, and then he realized that the Yuanying elder who was guarding the mountain was talking to him.
He let go of his wife's hand and bowed respectfully to the other party, "Hello, elder. I have been in seclusion for many years and I don't know the identity of the elder. Please forgive me!"
The monk looked at Wang Xijie, and his expression changed, showing appreciation.
"Haha, it's okay. I am your third uncle. You must remember in the future. I held you when you were a child. In a blink of an eye, you have grown up and even married a wife?"
Wang Xijie was very surprised. He was a descendant of Wang Wufeng. There were more people in this lineage. He couldn't remember so many elders. He could only remember a small circle of people who were close to him by blood. He didn't know the other party at all. The blood should be far away.
He liked to be quiet. In addition to practicing, he usually made pills. He had never been to the main peak, but he didn't expect that the other party knew him.
"Well, the foundation is solid, and the future is limitless!"
The other party praised him generously. No matter how slow Wang Xijie was, he understood that he and his Taoist partner must have been chosen by the ancestor this time, which attracted people's attention!
He did not dare to neglect the other party. After chatting for a while, he took out some fresh fruits from the storage bag.
"Uncle, these are the spiritual fruits I planted. Although they are not worth a few spiritual stones, they taste very good. Uncle has worked hard to guard the mountain. You can try them in your spare time to kill time!"
The monk's eyes lit up and became more enthusiastic about Wang Xijie. After chatting for a while, seeing that everyone else had gone far away, Wang Xijie hurriedly said goodbye and walked up the mountain with his wife!
"Master Wang is going to be rich now. Even the Yuanying elders in the family have bowed down to him. It's touching," the pretty girl beside him couldn't help laughing after walking away.
This woman is called Lu Shuangling. She was originally a cultivator of the Lu family. After the Lu family moved in, the two families intermarried on a large scale. Wang Xijie's mother is Lu Shuangling's aunt. The two of them developed a good impression of each other after they came into contact, and then they became Taoist companions. Both of them are content with a small fortune. They have aspirations for the longevity path, but not much, and they prefer to live a good life in front of them.
This time they were selected because of the accumulated merits of their parents. If the Wang family had a population of 100,000, they would definitely not be selected.
Listening to his wife's joking words, Wang Xijie shook his head.
"I really haven't seen this uncle!"
Lu Shuangling was stunned, "Maybe he is closer to my grandfather?"
Wang Xijie thought for a moment and said softly, "My grandfather said that they have been migrating with our ancestors for the past hundred years. They usually practice in a secret place. Even brothers don't often see each other. If they are close, why doesn't grandfather introduce us to each other given our identities?"
"But if we can make friends with this uncle, it will be less troublesome to go out on weekdays. When we go back, we will discuss with grandfather and give him a generous gift!"
Hearing her husband's consideration, Lu Shuangling couldn't help but smile and sighed, "My husband has become much more stable than before, and he also knows to make friends with those who guard key positions!"
Wang Xijie smiled bitterly, "I am the hope of the family. I didn't dare to think about it before, but now you and I have been selected, so we must make plans early, so that when we are reused in the future, we will not be left without help!"
Lu Shuangling nodded. She was born in the Lu family, and her status is too different from that of the Wang family, but she still has her vision. The Wang family is suspected to be facing a crisis this time, but once it is overcome, she and her husband will be able to soar to the sky!
The couple said a few words, caught up with the group, and then kept silent.
After walking for half a day, there was a rumbling sound of water in front of them.
Looking up, the mountain was majestic, and a waterfall of unknown height rushed down from the sky.
"I don't know if we can see the ancestor this time. He rarely shows up!"
"We must see him, otherwise why did we come to the main peak?"
"Okay, stop talking, don't be disrespectful to the ancestor!"
Everyone suppressed their curiosity and continued to move forward. After another half a day, they arrived at the hall on the top of the mountain. Seeing the proud figure, everyone couldn't help but get excited.
