A Feng Shui Master’s Guide to Cultivation

Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.

When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...

Chapter 452: Recruiting Disciples

The Dongyu Sect's recruitment of disciples was going on vigorously. Over there, Bai Ai led a group of friends and representatives of several powerful immortal sects to Feiyan City, and the matter of asking several families to vacate their premises was also carried out in a lively manner.

No matter how nice the words are, it is unacceptable to suddenly ask a large force to move away from its base.

The reaction of the major forces and noble families was quite intense, but Bai Ai and his men used both soft and hard tactics, persuading them and warning them. After a series of tactics, they were really helpless and had no choice but to obey.

At first, it caused panic among other families and forces in Feiyan City. But after learning that only a few families were targeted this time and that there were reasons for it, they calmed down and watched the show calmly.

From the various means these sects use to plot against the core skills of other sects, it can be seen that these sects are not very upright and are not very popular.

Chen Xiao didn't pay much attention to these things, he used the time to give his disciples intensive training. Especially Huang Keran, the little apprentice was in charge of such a big operation right from the start, so Chen Xiao couldn't help but be more dedicated.

"This formation is of a type that has never been seen before. Because it draws power from other heavenly realms, I have specially classified this type of formation separately and call it the Astrological Feng Shui Formation." In the quiet room, Chen Xiao sat in front, and three disciples, each with a cushion, sat cross-legged opposite him, listening carefully to the master's lecture, "The heavenly realms are stars when seen from afar in the void, so they should be called by the names of stars in the astrology."

Huang Keran raised his hand to ask a question, and after being allowed to do so, he said, "Master, what is the name of the star?"

Chen Xiao said without hesitation: "Take Luochen Heaven Realm as an example. It can be called Luochen Star in the constellations. For the convenience of recording, it can also be simply called Chen Star."

Huang Keran nodded and said, "I understand, disciple. That is to say, Taizhen is Taizhen Star, or Zhen Star for short."

"That's right." Chen Xiao nodded. "This is a brand new art. Although it is classified as a Feng Shui art, the power of the stars is not only for Feng Shui practitioners. Array masters can also use the stars as arrays."

Shen Yanxing seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "Master, where does the power of the stars come from?"

Chen Xiao said: "In the Heaven Realm, the power of the earth is the Earth Vein, and the power of the sky is the Heaven Vein. The power of the stars is the power of the sky and the earth combined, also known as the Star Vein."

Liu Lang immediately drew inferences from his experience and said, "There are 64 hexagrams for each of the heaven and earth. Doesn't this mean that in the future, by combining the astrological signs, we can lay out a star-shaped hexagram formation?"

Chen Xiao nodded approvingly at Liu Lang and said, "That's right!"

You should know that there are twenty-eight constellations in the outermost circle of the compass. Chen Xiao didn't understand the constellations here before, and the twenty-eight constellations were just a decoration. Now he can use the newly discovered constellations to replace them and reset the constellations.

However, they did not know that after Chen Xiao's integration, three Feng Shui schools were formed in the Tianjing world. They were the Wu Clan Feng Shui School which focused on practicing the Heavenly Veins, the Linggen Feng Shui School which was founded by Wu Xiujiang after he set up his own school and focused on practicing the Earthly Veins, and the Dongyu Feng Shui School which was the most comprehensive and powerful.

The three mainstream schools have each spawned branch schools, which have flourished and competed with each other.

But no matter which school it is, they all worship Chen Xiao as their ancestor and acknowledge him as their ancestor. Only Dongyu, which was founded by Chen Xiao himself, worships both Fang Gu and Chen Xiao from beginning to end.

Chen Xiao couldn't predict future developments, so it was unpredictable at this moment.

After the assault on the disciples was over, the apprentices who received the news and came to register also rushed to Yingxian Island.

Originally, due to the desperate situation that Tai Zhen was about to face, the market of Yingxian Island was very quiet for a while, and its popularity had obviously dropped.

This time the Dongyu Sect wanted to recruit disciples, and Yingxian Island suddenly returned to its former bustling scene, and even people's hearts became much more at ease.

In view of the large number of people who came to register, Chen Xiao specially hired several training groups to help maintain order and set up examination halls. He used a set of papers to eliminate those who were illiterate, had poor knowledge, and had poor logical thinking abilities.

Chen Xiao doesn't plan to recruit a large group of children. This is not a school, and he has to start teaching them from the beginning.

As for those who are too poor in knowledge, some of them did not study hard when they were young, and some of them really could not learn. Chen Xiao did not want such people either, because it would take too much energy to teach them, and they might not be able to learn.

The proportion of people eliminated in the first level is not large. Most of those who came here after hearing the news are relatives and friends of the immortal cultivators, and a small number are immortal cultivators whose spiritual roots were damaged and their cultivation wasted due to various reasons.

As for mortals who have no foundation at all, there are basically very few of them.

This is not surprising. News in the mortal world travels very slowly. It may take many years for news to reach the mortal realm.

The second stage is the interview, which is conducted one by one by three disciples as examiners.

This form of examination was the first of its kind in the world of immortal cultivation, and the apprentices waiting for the examination were a little confused when they heard about it.

The interview was not very complicated. It mainly involved observing the candidate's conversation on the spot. Chen Xiao's requirements were not very strict. As long as the candidate could meet the liking of any of his disciples, the candidate could be retained.

It was the first time for the three disciples to accept disciples. Especially Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang, who had been persecuted before for accepting disciples. They were naturally very cautious, and not many people could pass their review.

Although Huang Keran was not as vigilant as his two senior brothers, to be honest, he had not yet graduated and was not confident in front of the examinees, so he was more cautious in selecting his disciples. As a result, out of hundreds of examinees, only dozens of them were able to stay.

In fact, this ratio is already considered high among the immortal sects. Some immortal sects even have an admission ratio of one in a thousand or one in ten thousand.

The eliminated candidates are not discouraged. If they really want to join the Dongyu School, they will have a second chance for a re-examination ten years later.

After dozens of candidates pass the review, they can become registered disciples of the Dongyu School and be taught the most basic Feng Shui classics.

Shen Yanxing and the other two took turns to teach and explain the content, and in the process further examined the disciples' character and personality.

If they find someone they like, they will formally accept him/her as their disciple.

Because Chen Xiao had repeatedly emphasized to them the importance of inheritance, the three of them wanted to find an apprentice who had a good understanding, learned quickly, and was able to teach.

The Feng Shui school is different from other immortal sects. During the learning process, Shen Yanxing and his colleagues often bring these registered disciples to the site to observe.

Once they have learned the basics, they can practice during their internship. Usually after three to five years, they can enter the Qi Gathering Stage, which greatly prolongs their lifespan, long enough for them to wait until they are accepted as a disciple.

Dongyu Sect suddenly had dozens more disciples, and Chen Xiao was very satisfied.

But at this happy moment, someone came to ruin his good mood.

The forces and families that were forced to move finally realized that Chen Xiao was behind this. They couldn't do anything to Bai Ai and others, so they went straight to the real culprit.
