Chapter 55: Watching and Recruiting
"The entrance trial meeting for new disciples of Xuanzhen Sect will now begin. All accompanying persons who are not participating in the meeting are asked to leave the venue and wait outside the Taoist circle." The majestic voice continued to announce. The Taoist circle suddenly appeared on the ground, glowing with a faint blue light. of thin circles. Apart from encircling the range, it has no other effect. Yang Yuyao stood up and walked a few steps before exiting the so-called circle. After all, he was in the outermost position. The cold-faced Xuanzhen Sect disciple glanced at him with surprise on his face.
Then some more men and women who Yang Yuyao originally thought were coming to participate in the recruitment meeting came out. They were all young. After carefully looking at their clothes, Yang Yuyao guessed that they were probably domestic servants and maids. They were here. , probably for the sake of the young master and lady who took care of them on the way. Although everyone in this world pursues the path to immortality, if one is extremely poor, even the path to immortality is difficult to find.
But if you work hard, you will still have a chance to make money. Those who are listed as slaves are said to be unable to practice cultivation in their lives, because the masters are afraid that their slaves will become too strong and pose a threat to them. Not only would the sect not accept him, but if he was found practicing secretly, he would even be beaten to death. What's more, when these slaves are still young, they will force them to drink medicine that can destroy their spiritual roots, so that they will never be able to develop spiritual roots in their lifetime and will never be able to achieve immortality.
Although Ye Qianqian said it lightly when she mentioned that she could pretend to be a maid, in her opinion, it was because under normal circumstances no one would really check whether the person was a slave. After all, she was just a young lady who did not need to worry about family affairs. For these cruel people There is no deep understanding of household registration division. The reason why it is usually not checked is because no one wants to be treated as a slave.
In this world, the household registration system divides people into three, six or nine levels. Although according to the household registration system, there are even lower-level status, but because of the world's enthusiasm for cultivating immortals and the pursuit of monks, as long as they can set foot on the In the path of immortality, becoming a monk can change one's destiny against the will of heaven, from being despised by everyone and not even being regarded as a human being, to becoming an immortal master respected by thousands of people. However, he only had a slave status and was cruelly cut off from the path of changing his life. He was unable to turn over for the rest of his life.
In this way, the actual status of slave status is actually lower than that of the lowest status.
The cold-faced Xuanzhen Sect disciple was surprised to see Yang Yuyao leaving the Taoist circle. He should have recognized from the clothes Yang Yuyao was wearing that he was different from the domestic servants and maids who accompanied the young master and lady. After all, it was for convenience. Distinguishing slave status, men and women classified as slaves in this world have strict restrictions on clothing styles and colors. They can be easily recognized with a little familiarity. At first, he probably thought that Yang Yuyao was here to attend the recruitment meeting. Although they were both disciples of Xuanzhen Sect, it was obvious that he and the two disciples responsible for registration did not have time to breathe.
Yang Yuyao was just about to find a place to sit down and watch the Xuanzhen Sect's disciple election when he was lightly tapped on the shoulder by someone who had approached him at some point. However, Yang Yuyao didn't know why, but he didn't appear special this time. Overreaction.
"Want to watch the recruitment meeting? I'll take you to a good viewing position." He Qianqing's mellow voice sounded from Yang Yuyao's ears, and Yang Yuyao's somewhat tense shoulders relaxed. He raised his head and saw He Qianqing, who was looking down at him slightly. However, except for Yang Yuyao, no one noticed that the famous Immortal Lord suddenly appeared here.
Yang Yuyao opened his eyes slightly, watching the flow of spiritual power on He Qianqing's body, and then successfully reproduced this technique that can block other people's perception. He Qianqing was slightly ashamed. Even after being Yang Yuyao's master for so many years, he was still shocked by the young man's learning ability time and time again. Fortunately, Yang Yuyao did not block him. Just like He Qianqing, who is only noticed by Yang Yuyao now, only He Qianqing can notice Yang Yuyao here. So He Qianqing took Yang Yuyao's hand, took him to the roof of a four-story building, and sat down on the ridge. From this position, the viewing angle is indeed much better than where Yang Yuyao was just now. Although Xuanzhen Sect has built a high platform, the high platform is still tightly blocked by the dark crowd on the ground.
Not only that, what is currently being done is the initial spiritual root test, and there will be several projects after that, and those projects are definitely not visible on the ground.
"Do you have a headache again today?" He Qianqing asked via voice transmission. He didn't know how long he had been here, but Yang Yuyao actually knew it when he felt a pain.
"Well, it just hurts a little bit." Yang Yuyao replied. When asked about his symptoms, Yang Yuyao would usually answer honestly. To be honest, Yang Yuyao felt that he was definitely the most cooperative and good patient in the original world.
"I'll check it out for you later," He Qianqing said after thinking for a while.
"Okay." Yang Yuyao replied, looking at the test situation below. The hundreds of people participating in the Xuanzhen Sect's recruitment meeting formed a long queue, and there was only one row. Because Xuanzhen Sect is such a large sect, they only took out one magic weapon for testing spiritual roots and gave it to the participants to test one by one. Yang Yuyao found Ye Qianqian's seat. She was quite far back in the queue and it would take a long time to get to her. So Yang Yuyao asked He Qianqing about the person he met today who came to harass him.
"It just so happens that my teacher wants to talk to you about this matter. Of course, Xiaoyao, your handling is great. If you encounter this kind of situation, you should refuse without hesitation. When necessary, you can use more ruthless means. Youwei Master, I'll help you with the truth." He Qianqing's face darkened a bit when he thought of the disciple, and planned to cause him some trouble in the subsequent tests if he could pass the spiritual root test.
"As for what that person did, in some ways, he was indeed taking in a younger brother. Of course, it was not just as simple as taking in a younger brother. Generally, people who do this will basically choose those who seem to be alone, gentle and easy to bully. They start by targeting young people. They will be very nice to the target young people at first, and eventually they will obey them. Not only will they give them all their cultivation resources, but they will also satisfy their physical desires. This is also the reason why they do not choose women. Compared to those boys, girls will be more vigilant about such things, and their natural cultivation level is not high enough to be able to do this, so girls can easily get killed."
Yang Yuyao understood. He looked at He Qianqing in shock. Although his intuition told him that the man had bad intentions, he didn't expect him to be such a scumbag. He actually planned to use others to obtain resources for himself. This was just as disgusting as some of the bosses he saw on the news in his original world who wanted unspoken subordinates. But, does the face he is using to disguise himself look so easy to deceive? Yang Yuyao couldn't help but touch his face, feeling suspicious. And with such an ordinary face, the other party must be too hungry, right?
When He Qianqing saw Yang Yuyao's touched face, he guessed what Yang Yuyao was thinking. He was indeed responsible for this matter. He had indeed raised this young man to have a poor understanding of world affairs. Yang Yuyao only thought of changing his appearance, but he did not realize that the reason why a beauty is beautiful is not only the appearance, but also the expression, posture and temperament. For some people, even if their appearance is slightly ordinary, their brows and eyes with lively expressions are enough to be charming and sultry. Although Yang Yuyao made the shape of his disguised eyes look completely different from the original ones, his expression that seemed to be full of affection but not at all changed at all.
"Xiao Yao, disguise is more than just changing the appearance." He Qianqing said. Since Yang Yuyao was not familiar with this, He Qianqing decided to teach him. "If you want to achieve a perfect disguise, in addition to your appearance, body shape, demeanor, and behavior, you must change it to a certain extent so that there will be no trace of the original one. Xiaoyao, you don't seem to realize that even if you change your face, there will be no trace of it. With a distinctive face, the people you come into contact with will still regard you as the focus and make friends with you.”
He Qianqing only gave a brief reminder, and Yang Yuyao showed an expression of sudden realization. When Yang Yuyao pinched this face, he tried to make it look as popular as possible because he hoped not to attract so much attention and not make it look ugly. That's because people are visual animals after all, and ugly appearance not only affects It's disgusting and draws people's attention in another direction. Therefore, it is mediocre and has no memorable points that are the best.
Yang Yuyao's ideal situation is that when he is with Yi Ziqi and Ye Qianqian, others can ignore his existence. Even if he is alone, others will just get along with him normally and not pay too much attention to him. . However, the current situation Yang Yuyao is encountering is indeed counterproductive. Even if others don't necessarily know his talent, if there are others around him, everyone will still take the initiative to chat with him, forcing him to respond. After He Qianqing's advice, Yang Yuyao realized that the problem was that he only worked hard on his appearance, which was equivalent to an actor who only put on makeup but had no acting skills at all. However, Yang Yuyao had never been exposed to the skill of acting. He did not know the techniques, and his poor experience in getting along with others made it difficult for him to predict the reaction a character should have.
For example, he hoped that Gu Yuan's status would have a low sense of existence, but he really had no idea how to achieve a low sense of existence.
"If only I could be myself as soon as possible...but now is not the right time." Yang Yuyao thought distressedly, lamenting that being an actor is indeed a profession that is not easy and requires imagination. Maybe he will act himself out? coming.
"I can understand it, but it's much more difficult to actually use it than I thought." Yang Yuyao sighed and turned his attention to the Xuanzhen Sect's recruitment meeting. He had just tested it since he had not been paying attention for so long. How come there are about thirty or hundreds of people who don’t know how long it will take to complete the test? Although Yang Yuyao could guess that Xuanzhen Sect did this intentionally, while testing these people's spiritual roots, they also tested their character. If that's the case, they should be doing something to upset the crowd soon.
Sure enough, after testing another person, an elder suddenly took out a scroll and announced that the spiritual roots would be tested based on the names read on the scroll. The crowd immediately exploded. Even before the elder read the first name, those in front began to protest that this was unfair. Then all those who made noises were dragged out of the team by the Xuanzhen Sect disciples, and their qualifications for the test were cancelled, without giving them any chance. Dozens of people were eliminated in this way.
After that, the two elders of Xuanzhen Sect manipulated the mentality of these people several times. The number of people who originally came to sign up was almost a thousand people. After these rounds, these people who asked for immortality could not even enter the mountain gate of Xuanzhen Sect. Nearly two hundred people were eliminated. The people behind finally learned their lesson and no longer dared to make any noise, and quietly waited for Xuanzhen Sect's arrangements. Those who have been eliminated can only go to the place where the luggage is stored, carry the luggage and return.
Yang Yuyao has been paying attention to Ye Qianqian, and gradually felt relieved when he saw that she maintained a stable attitude in several tests. However, he didn't expect that the person who harassed him at the recruitment meeting had remained calm and passed these rounds of assessments.
Perhaps because they estimated that they were almost eliminated, the two elders of Xuanzhen Sect did not make any further arrangements to disturb their mentality. The rest of the test was much calmer.
Of course, it is impossible to be completely calm. As the first step for people to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, spiritual roots are so important that almost nothing can compare with them. Therefore, from time to time there will be cheers from those who have detected single or even dual spiritual roots, and there will also be dejection from those who have detected mixed spiritual roots or even no spiritual roots. The elders of Xuanzhen Sect made it clear that their sect could only receive disciples with three types of spiritual roots at most, and those with mixed spiritual roots and those without spiritual roots could only leave and find another way out. However, until now, Yang Yuyao has not seen anyone with mutated spiritual roots appear in the test.
That person was in front of Ye Qianqian. He tested the three spiritual roots and was just within the recruitment range of Xuanzhen Sect, so he passed the test. Ye Qianqian, on the other hand, has a single spiritual root of fire attribute, which means that she will be better at practicing high-damage spells. Yang Yuyao already has a premonition that Ye Qianqian will develop into a violent woman in the future.
"Sure enough, I will never be selected according to Xuanzhen Sect's method of recruiting disciples." Yang Yuyao chuckled and sighed, how many people could have imagined that there is such a weirdo like him in this world?
"So they have no chance or luck to take you, Xiao Yao, into their sect." He Qianqing also laughed. Others envied him for being so lucky to receive a disciple as talented as Yang Yuyao, but if he was as obedient as those people How could we find this fine piece of jade?
"Master, do I not respect you enough?" Seeing the way these Xuanzhen Sect disciples got along with the two elders, Yang Yuyao suddenly felt that the way he got along with He Qianqing seemed too casual? Even for sects like Lingxiao Sect, which has a relatively relaxed overall atmosphere, the disciples are still respectful when facing the leader and elders, and they still get nervous when they are assigned to sit at the same table for meals.
"No, Xiaoyao, you don't need to compare with others. You and I have our own way of getting along, and there is no need to refer to others." He Qianqing said with a smile.
"Then why don't you call yourself me?" Yang Yuyao asked curiously.
"It's just a title, not to mention that I think calling myself this way is a mouthful. Xiaoyao, you can also call yourself that now, don't you?" He Qianqing asked with a smile.
"It's still more comfortable to call myself 'I'." Yang Yuyao agreed with He Qianqing's point of view. The self-identification of "I" is too pretentious to use. He is not an emperor, so he must use "I, a lonely person, I". Self-proclaimed, it is better not to use it if possible.
In fact, Yang Yuyao likes many people he has come into contact with in this world. The reason why he has never been able to completely integrate himself into this world is probably because he still has concerns about the original world. To this day, he still cannot confirm that he is in the original world. What happened to myself. Although he speculated that he might be dead, if he was still alive, Yang Yuyao would definitely find a chance to go back. This was one of the reasons why he was unwilling to accept overly strong emotions from people in this world. Yang Yuyao has been thinking about whether a time traveler, an outsider, should integrate into the new world without any scruples.
"Those who are successfully selected in the spiritual root test should ask for their thoughts!" the majestic voice announced. Next to the long steps of unknown number inside the Xuanzhen Sect's mountain gate, the vegetation separated on both sides, revealing a path paved with smooth stones. The road to success. Yang Yuyao suddenly felt that he should also take a look at his heart so that he could see his true heart. But it's also possible that he just entered and couldn't take a step.
"As long as they pass the path of inquiry, they are disciples of Xuanzhen Sect. After that, they will wait in the square of Xuanzhen Sect for the elders to select the disciples they like and decide whether to enter the inner gate directly or stay in the outer gate for a while." He Qianqing will Xuanzhen Sect. Now that the next process of the Zhen Sect's recruitment conference has been explained, in fact, the recruitment conferences of each sect are basically the same. After all, they are basically mortals who have not yet introduced Qi into their bodies. A slight mistake will kill them, so the recruitment meeting will not be too difficult. "That Ye Qianqian will definitely be able to enter the inner sect if nothing happens, and may even become a direct disciple of a certain elder."
"Well, I also believe that her qualifications will definitely be taken seriously, and she has been very diligent in her practice." Yang Yuyao also believes that Ye Qianqian will be successful in the future.
"Xiao Yao, do you care about her?" He Qianqing asked, with a taste that Yang Yuyao couldn't detect. Although this girl is still young, there is indeed not much age difference between her and Yang Yuyao. In a year or two, she will be at the age where love begins.
"Well, it feels like I have a daughter." Yang Yuyao nodded. He wanted to say she was a sister, but somehow he said she was a daughter. Thinking about it more carefully, Yang Yuyao felt that he really seemed to regard Ye Qianqian more as a daughter than a sister.
"?" He Qianqing felt incredible. He had only been away from Yang Yuyao for a few months, but this child actually started to want to raise a daughter? In order to cover up this embarrassment, He Qianqing, who also remembered that he wanted to cause more trouble for the disciple, was about to take action when the man suddenly slipped and fell down, then rolled all the way back to the bottom of the mountain and fell out. Wounded all over. This also means that he was eliminated.
"Ha, as expected." He Qianqing said with a sneer, seeming confident.
