0110_secret
Xie Qinwei was depressed for a period of time after his elder brother exposed his little secret. During that time, he became silent and introverted, unwilling to see people, instead of being active in making friends and actively participating in various big and small things after entering Yunxia Sect.
Just when I was worried that he would never recover from this setback or his temperament would change drastically, he figured it out again, actively making friends and participating in things again, even more free and easy than before, even the senior brother said thank you Qin Wei for his sword The meaning is more rounded.
Big brother: "Secrets are a burden, and most of the time it will cause some psychological difficulties. If the secret is not shady, it is a good thing to be exposed."
But the problem is that most of the secrets are shady.
Eldest brother: "No, it's just that the person involved thought it was shameful. For example, the matter of time travel is not a big deal to many monks. Unless, he has traveled from ancient times to modern times and knows many secret treasures and powerful cultivation methods that have been lost. , If it spreads out, it may lead to death. However, coming from a time and space with no cultivation civilization at all, apart from adding some strange news, what is the value to monks? Who cares about worthless things? "
I don't want to expose myself, so I don't know how Xie Qinwei figured it out. Originally, I also wanted to accept the suggestion of the elder brother, and get married with Xie Qinwei, with less secrets and less psychological burden, and see if I can understand it a little bit Sword intent.However, Xie Qinwei's femininity is really hard for me to accept. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a dead stallion poisoned by Qiqiwen.
I'm not interested in discussing beautiful women at all, I'm only interested in discussing beautiful men.Once again, I am sure that Xie Qinwei and I are not on the same road, and we can't find him if we want to share secrets.
However, Young Master Shi Bolin quickly became brothers with Xie Qinwei. Thanks to Qin Wei's blessing, the time that Young Master Shi came to see me was greatly reduced, and he seemed to go straight back under the influence of Xie Qinwei.
I have to admit that after getting used to Master Shi's noisy, he suddenly turned his attention away from me, which made me a little bit disappointed.But it's like staying near the construction site for a long time, after getting used to the noise, and suddenly going to a quiet place, you will suddenly feel unaccustomed to the terrible silence.
But it doesn't matter, it's just a small bad habit, I can still do this level of error correction.
0111_ Ordinary Excellent
Among the nine peaks of the Yunxia Sect, the main peak encloses the most land, accounting for nearly one-third of the entire Yunxia Sect.But this is absolutely not because the sect leader is using power for personal gain, but because almost all management departments of Yunxia Sect are located on the main peak, and the main peak also accommodates the largest number of disciples.
The basic process is like this, after passing the loyalty observation, whichever peak takes a fancy to which disciple will take away, and the remaining disciples who have not shown special expertise and are picked by each peak will all stay in the main peak.
Before each generation of Senior Brothers is selected, the main peak still has a reason to choose the next candidate for the head to keep outstanding disciples, but after the senior senior brothers are selected, the main peak's right to choose first is gone.But anyway, what the main peak needs most is management talents, and there is no conflict with the professional professionals that the other peaks want, so the main peak is also happy to be generous.
It was planned for me to return to Peifeng. Other than me, some people were also elected to Jianxiu Peak when they entered the inner sect, including Min Lun. However, he did not come to Peifeng. Afterwards, I still felt that Min Lun was a little short of his apprentice's requirements.
"Because it's a pseudo-single spiritual root?" I asked.
My dad glanced at me: "He is better than you."
I shouldn't have humiliated myself.
My brother said about this: "Min Lun's luck is not very good. Have you noticed that in many things, he has far exceeded the passing line standard. He is undoubtedly excellent, but he is so short that he can't meet it." To the standard of stunning. His ability to show people can easily identify with him, but it seems that he is not qualified enough to make an exception for him."
"An ordinary excellent." My sister concluded.
"That's excellent. At most, there is no shortcut, but it can still be successful anyway." I said.
"That's a good point. Min Lun lacks leaping explosiveness, but he walks very steadily. In the long run, I am very optimistic about him." My father said, "I am more optimistic about you."
My brother and sister: There is no need to add the last sentence, we already know it.
0112_ Wanxin Secret Realm
As expected, I just went to play soy sauce in the ranking competition. The top [-] is considered a ranking. I was eliminated before that, but I can't represent the level of the new class of disciples.Among the new disciples, there are quite a few outstanding ones, such as Shi Bolin who is very lucky, Xie Qinwei who is full of tricks, Min Lun who is steady and has the style of a general, and Zhang who is shameless but wins if he wins. Another example is the four people who have not experienced the life outside the main peak, and went directly to Beast Control, Qixiu and Danxiu Peak after the Linggen test was over.
When I say that these people are outstanding, I don't mean that they have all entered the top [-], but that they left an impression on the inner disciples and gave them a strong sense of presence-of course the inner disciples have a better impression of me, but that is not the case. My strength has nothing to do with it, I'm just a vase with enough backstage.
Among the new batch of disciples, only two entered the top 1 in our first ranking competition. One is Shi Bolin, who happened to be No. 92, and the other is Xie Qinwei, who was No. [-].Min Lun was a little short. If there was a ranking for him, he should be one hundred and one.
It's normal for new disciples not to be able to compete for the top rankings. The largest number of people in the Yunxia Sect's foundation period is Foundation Establishment Peak, and many of them are only a step away from Jindan. They are waiting for the day when the epiphany breaks through the bottleneck. The early stage of foundation establishment and the middle stage are basically two different things. Even in the late stage of foundation establishment, it is difficult to use skills to reverse the inferiority of the cultivation base.Leapfrogging monsters is not that simple.
——Thus we can see how wonderful Young Master Shi Bolin is. Although he has improved by leaps and bounds during the year in the outer sect, and is about to break through to the foundation-building stage, but soon means that he has not yet.He only had a qi training period, and when he competed with the foundation building period for rankings, he actually let him win.
This time the ranking competition also has an additional meaning that makes all the disciples very anxious. The top [-] will be directly included in the list of next year's trip to the secret realm.
The secret realm to be opened next year is called Wanxin, and it is a very low-difficulty dungeon... Well, in my opinion, the secret realm is really similar to a game dungeon.There are monster fights, equipment explosions, hidden bosses, plots, level restrictions, number restrictions, and customs clearance strategies.
Wanxin Secret Realm is a base-building stage dungeon, those higher than the foundation-building stage can't get in, and those lower than the foundation-building stage can't get in either.
Although the level of Wanxin Secret Realm is low, it has a large capacity and appears very regularly.It will be opened every 100 years, allowing 1 people to enter each time.
Since Wanxin Secret Realm has existed for many years, its strategy has been formed long ago, and the distribution of the 1 places has long been established.
Each of the three top sects has 100 places, a total of 100 people; the seven first-rate sects each have 900 places, a total of 900 people; the second-rate sects each have about 2000 places, a total of [-] people There are about three people from each of the third-rate sects, a total of [-] people; and a total of [-] people from the low-level sects and loose cultivators.
The above are the rules.However, the rules are always flexible. Taking Yunxia Sect as an example, assuming that there are not enough 300 disciples in this sect who are suitable for entering Wanxin Secret Realm in a certain year, then part of the quota will be allocated to the second and third schools related to Yunxia Sect. Or to exchange some resources.
The Yunxia Sect is still in a prosperous and prosperous stage, and of course the number of disciples is quite large. Judging from any century, the [-] foundation-building period is only a lot more.However, although the number of people is enough, it doesn't mean that all foundation-building periods are eligible to be one of the [-] places.
First, outer disciples are excluded.If a disciple obtains something rare in the secret realm, he does not have to hand it in to the sect, but he cannot hide it from the sect either. After all, the sect provides the quota for entering the secret realm, and the disciple did not find it himself. So no matter what he gets, the sect will All have the right to know and the right of first refusal.This puts the question of loyalty to the test, and of course the outer disciples are not qualified.
Secondly, disciples with insufficient self-protection ability are excluded.Going to the secret realm is for gaining experience. Although death rates are allowed, people who are mortal are absolutely not allowed to go in and kill themselves on purpose.
Again, disciples who have been there once are generally not allowed to go a second time.This situation is relatively rare. With the average aptitude of Yunxia Sect disciples, generally they will not linger in the foundation building period for 100 years. Occasionally, going to a secret realm that has already been there will not help. It is better to leave the opportunity to those who need it more.
Then, those who just happened to be injured, those who were caught in a mission and couldn’t return, those who retreated for unknown years, those who were not interested in conquering secret realms that have no sense of mystery, those who were punished...etc. There are also some.
After screening in this way, each time the Yunxia Sect's [-] quota... is still not enough for the internal part.However, it is not enough anyway, if someone outsider pays a lot of money and wants to change a quota, for example, if a casual cultivator in the Mahayana period wants a certain junior who is pleasing to the eye to open his eyes, Yunxiazong is also willing to eliminate one of his own. Disciples move people's positions to form a good relationship.
To vacate one or two quotas is called good luck, to vacate dozens or hundreds of them is to be cowardly and afraid of hindering the development of the sect, so anyone with a heart knows that as an outsider, if you want to get a quota from Yunxiazong, you must do it as soon as possible.This is true for Yunxia Sect, and it is also true for several other first-class and top sects.
0113_non-core
As soon as the ranking competition ended, only 25 of the [-] places in the Wanxin Secret Realm were left—the only Qi training period for Shi Bolin, the top [-] wonder, because it was not difficult to enter the foundation building stage before the secret realm opened due to the momentum, so there was no one for the time being. Deprive him of his quota - at this time, the ranking competition of the outer gate is also over, and this time the top [-] enter the inner gate.
Those who enter the inner sect through ranking competitions can only start as ordinary disciples, and if there is no accident, they may be ordinary disciples throughout the foundation establishment and golden core stages, until the Nascent Soul stage.After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, instead of upgrading from ordinary to core, you can choose a mountain to accept apprentices, and you have broken away from your identity as a disciple.
It is difficult for these people to enter the core of the sect, and they have always seemed to have a barrier. They have certain strengths, but their loyalty has always made Yun Xiazong not completely at ease.And Yunxiazong's seeming defense against them also made them even more unable to give complete loyalty to Yunxiazong. It was a vicious circle, and even caused some of them to leave Yunxiazong to establish their own sect.
This is not considered betrayal, they have no malice towards Yunxia Sect even after they set up their own sect, it's just a mentality of preferring to be the head of a chicken.They set up a second-rate or third-rate sect by themselves, claiming to be the subordinate sect of Yunxiazong. If Yunxiazong needs it, they will be obliged to help. Similarly, Yunxiazong will also generously give help and support when necessary.
——For example, some of the places in Wanxin Secret Realm can be shared.
This kind of situation is quite common. Many second- and third-rate sects are derived from the top ten sects in this way. Some of these derived sects have developed, and some have gradually disappeared.From the perspective of the overall development of the cultivation world, this is a good thing, and it is conducive to the blooming of a hundred flowers.
In addition, the lack of loyalty to the sect is not a mentality that needs to be criticized.It is a virtue to die and die, but it is not a mistake to be selfish without harming others.What's more, monks admire the naturalness of nature, loyalty is always a kind of restraint, and it is only natural that they can't bear it and want to get rid of it.
From this perspective, casual cultivation is the most natural way of cultivation.It is said that in ancient times, there were no sects, and everyone was a casual cultivator.There are organizations, but those organizations are more akin to an equal union of interests than clinging to feeding and advice.However, the modern Lone Ranger is no longer popular, with limited resources and no sect with a deep foundation to rely on, it is difficult to grab anything, and it is extremely difficult to upgrade.
Wanxin Secret Realm is because it is not rare to go to it a lot, its level is low, and it can accommodate a large number of people, so it politely reserves one-fifth of the quota for casual cultivators-there is no difference between low-level sects and casual cultivators-those who open for the first time or There are countless treasures in the secret realm, and everyone grabs them according to their ability, and casual cultivators basically only have soup.
However, although casual cultivators are generally weak due to lack of resources and limited talent, if they survive, when they reach the Nascent Soul and Transformation Stages, those casual cultivators are all fierce, especially sword cultivators, who have ferocious humanoid weapons , Wherever you go, you will cause harm, with evil spirits all over your body, capitalized to ward off evil spirits.
Xie Qinwei was depressed for a period of time after his elder brother exposed his little secret. During that time, he became silent and introverted, unwilling to see people, instead of being active in making friends and actively participating in various big and small things after entering Yunxia Sect.
