Chapter 228 Selection Begins
"The Xianlai Sect is different from other sects. They have experienced some changes before. Most of the original disciples left, and some joined the Liuxian Sect. As a result, there are only a dozen or so people left in the huge mountain gate. If we start recruiting from young children now, how many years will it take for the sect to be established?"
"That's right. They are short of manpower right now. Although babies are good, it takes too long to train them. It would be better to recruit some adult disciples first."
"That being said, the loyalty of adult disciples to the sect is worrying!"
"Then there's nothing we can do. We can't take care of both. Let's solve the biggest problem first."
"However, there are too many people who are planning to break through the pills now. There must be spies from other families among those queuing up. I don't know if the Xianlai Sect has the ability to pick them all out."
"If we can't pick one, then we'll just be wasting money training talents for other forces!"
Especially the Breakthrough Pills. If they were all obtained by spies, it would be heartbreaking to think about it!
The people of Ziye City really want the Xianlai Sect to develop well. This is a mutually beneficial thing, so naturally they don't want them to be calculated by other villains.
However, they couldn't help much in this matter. After all, the people who came here were from all over the continent, and no one knew their background.
Everything depends on Xianlai Sect itself!
"The mountain gate is open! Look!"
“It’s really open!”
"Are we going to start selecting disciples?"
There was a commotion in the crowd. It turned out that they saw some movement at the mountain gate of Xianlai Sect.
The people who were queuing also became excited and looked forward.
This sight immediately brightens my eyes.
There were seven young ladies standing at the gate, each with bright eyes, white teeth and as light as a willow. The lady in the middle was particularly heroic.
"Welcome everyone to Xianlai Sect. The recruitment and selection of our disciples will begin immediately!"
"Please those who are ill step out first and follow us into the hall to rest and wait, so that you can relieve some of the pain."
Lu Lai first clasped his fists and saluted, then he said loudly, "Those with minor injuries who can walk on their own can go alone, and those who are seriously injured and need help can bring someone with them."
Huang Ye then walked out and said with a smile: "Please follow me into the hall."
As soon as the words fell, the crowd moved. People walked out of the team one after another and followed Huang Ye into the mountain gate.
Some onlookers nodded and praised, "This is a very appropriate move."
Considering that they were injured, they were allowed to go inside and rest first, which can be said to be very humane.
Although the remaining people were not sick and could not enter early, they also developed an initial favorable impression of the Xianlai Sect because of these words.
Compared to those cold and indifferent large sects, this kind of sect that treats people as human beings is naturally easier to be accepted by people.
The line of patients was very long and was moving slowly towards the sect. Lu Lai ignored them and only arranged for people to start testing the remaining monks.
The team was divided into five teams, with five maids each in charge of one team to conduct initial registration, questioning and screening.
As for Lu Lai, he is in charge of the overall situation and always stands aside, ready to step forward when something happens.
However, before registration begins, the maids will ask the monks to stand on the wooden board in front.
It can only be called a wooden board because it is square in shape with some complex patterns on it and its color is wood brown.
The position in the middle is for placing crystals. After the crystals are placed there, the wooden board seems to have no reaction and it is really hard to tell what this thing is.
The monks who came were a little confused, but when they were asked to stand on it, they did as they were told.
"Name." Qiqi held the pen and looked up to ask the first monk in front of her.
This was a dark-skinned young man, his eyes were looking at her, after hearing what she said, it took a while before he spoke, "Zhao Shan."
After he finished speaking, the wooden board he was standing on suddenly shook.
Qiqi frowned immediately and said coldly: "Go down, next one."
The young man was stunned, "What do you mean? Why?"
"You are eliminated, get out."
The young man was still in a daze, but he subconsciously left the board. The female cultivator behind him stepped forward and stood on the board under Qiqi's instructions.
"Name." Qiqi asked.
"Jiang Yan." The female cultivator said.
"Age, cultivation."
"26, Qi training stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, the board shook again.
Qiqi frowned, "You go down too, next one."
The female cultivator was startled and bit her lip, seeming to realize something.
"No, why? Why did you eliminate us?" The man named Zhao Shan finally reacted at this time and shouted in dissatisfaction, which immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Stop yelling." Lu Lai scolded coldly and walked forward.
"No, don't you have a reason to eliminate people? We have worked hard to come here from far away, why can you eliminate us just like that?" Zhao Shan was angry.
At this time, problems arose in several other teams. Some of their people were also driven off the wooden board and were shouting in dissatisfaction.
"Don't make any noise!"
Liu Feng, who was patrolling here, stepped on the tiptoes and stood on the top of the nearest tree.
His voice sounded at the right time. The spiritual power of the Yuanying period was profound. His voice easily echoed throughout the venue. Even the people standing at the back could hear it clearly.
"This board is called the Truth Board. As long as the person standing on it says even one lie, the board will react. All liars will be considered to have ulterior motives, and will be eliminated."
"Please be careful with your words if you come to participate in the selection. If you have ulterior motives, please leave the venue. If you cause trouble on the field, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"
Liu Feng drew out his sword, and the tip of the sword glowed with a cold light.
The whole audience was stunned and no one spoke at this moment.
Truth board? ?
There is actually such a thing in this world!
Liu Shan, the woman, and those from other teams who were shouting in dissatisfaction all changed their expressions. They glanced at the truth board with fear, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Not only that, many people in the queue panicked and quickly left the queue.
Liu Feng saw this and sighed in his heart——
Jiuwei is really amazing, this mantra board is really useful.
Moreover, pointing out its function in public can deter others. Those with ill intentions will not dare to gamble and will leave the team on their own. This will also save the Xianlai Sect the time of questioning.
It not only saves time, but also improves the efficiency of selecting disciples!
In fact, just like everyone thought, the people of Xianlai Sect were also worried that they did not have enough manpower and could not effectively select disciples.
It was Mo Jiuwei who came up with the suggestion, suggesting that this mantra board be made specifically for preliminary screening.
She drew the talisman, and Hu Jiu made five mantra boards. The time was a bit tight, but they were finally made.
