When a cultivator cultivates, they strive for the gift of heaven and earth. If they are afraid of this and that, dare not do anything, and stagnate, then what is the point of cultivation? Isn't it better to be an ordinary mortal?
Rao Zhu's words skipped over the issues that everyone was worried about on the surface, and went straight to the root of the problem, making the young men who heard it feel ashamed.
Those ordinary cultivators who have forged their bodies and gained spiritual power can go out and work hard for their families, but they don’t even have the confidence to leave the fortress.
With a cold laugh, Rao Zhu continued, "This is the rule of our Yantian Sect for accepting disciples. If you don't want to participate, just go home."
As the initiator of this test, once Rao Zhu's attitude became strong, no matter how dissatisfied others were, they all swallowed it silently.
Firstly, they were still expecting these young men to grow up in the Yantian Sect and give back to their families, leading the four cities to greater prosperity. Secondly, they were no match for the fifth-level Rao Zhu...
Below, Qu Cai, dressed in a green robe and looking like a delicate scholar, bowed and said, "Don't be upset, Elder. We will definitely participate in the test. There is no problem with the rules. We accept them."
Rao Zhu had already said so much, what else could he do if he refused to accept it? Really not participating and going home? Of course, that wouldn't work.
"Very good!" Rao Zhu nodded. "The rules of this test aren't complicated. I'm sure you all have a clear idea of them by now."
Rao Zhu waved his hand and took out the map, the jade talisman for help, and the recording instrument, exactly six copies, no more, no less.
The six people stepped forward and took their own portion.
The map was a scroll, with no spiritual energy emanating from it; it was an ordinary object. The jade talisman for help was a piece of white jade engraved with a formation, seemingly no different from an ordinary decoration. And the last recording device...
Several people looked at the exquisite butterfly-shaped magic weapon, and their expressions were complicated.
Is this thing also a magical tool? Why does it look just like some fake stuff?
Yubieliu: "..." Wait a minute, why does this little butterfly look familiar?
"Junior sister, you remember?" Xu Xin came over cheerfully. "That's right. When the brothers from the Weapon Refining Peak were rushing to make these magical instruments, they specifically used the exact same pattern of yours... I personally requested it!"
Seeing his senior brother begging for praise like a fool, Yu Bie Liu wanted to cover his face. Don’t you think Butterfly looks stupid?
Also, the butterfly wasn’t made by me. At most, I just made a round stick the length of a finger joint... The butterfly was added by that old guy at the Refining Peak!
After making sure that everyone had taken their share, Rao Zhu spoke.
"The method of using the Jade Talisman for Help is very simple. When you encounter danger, probe into your spiritual consciousness in time, and I will be able to receive the message."
After a brief pause, Rao Zhu curled his lips and smiled.
"As the person in charge of the test, I have accepted the sect's mission to protect you. Therefore, during the test, I will do my best to ensure your safety. As long as you don't encounter an enemy that I can't deal with, you can rest assured."
Although monks should not be afraid of hardships and should strive forward, this is a test to accept disciples.
Parents don't want their children to be in danger. How can they, who may become teachers of teenagers in the future, ignore their life and death?
I have said some stern words before, and now I am giving a guarantee, which will, to some extent, reassure the teenagers and their parents.
"As for this little butterfly... Oh, it's a recording device. It's the little thing our Yantian Sect has been researching recently. Once activated, it will follow you around and record all your actions."
All actions would be recorded? And even automatically tracked? The six people below, as well as the surrounding crowd, were all shocked.
In the world of monks, there are things that can record images. The simplest one is the photo stone. More advanced ones are magical instruments designed with the photo stone as the main material and capable of being activated under special circumstances.
For example, the descendants of some big men always carry a rewind stone with them, which can be activated when something happens to them, and the recorded image can be transmitted to their elders.
However, whether it is the photo stone or other magical tools designed with the photo stone as the main material, they all have a disadvantage, which is that they cannot record for a long time and their storage capacity is limited.
Now Rao Zhu tells them that this fancy magic weapon, the length of a finger, can record all their actions?
The journey from here to Yantian Sect is quite long, and the sect has given them two months to travel this distance. How can such a small butterfly record all of this?
"It's not really a record..." Rao Zhu thought for a moment, "It just records everything that happens to you as images and sends them back to the sect at the same time."
That's all? You're probably not kidding. It's enough to record everything, but you can also send the images back to the sect at the same time. That's all you need?
...Okay, you Yantian Sect is corrupt.
However, although this thing sounds extremely impressive, it has little use for cultivators. It cannot be used in combat, nor can it help people improve their cultivation.
At most, it's something somewhat useful that was researched while going astray on the road of refining equipment.
"Well... this way, all your actions along the way will be observed by the sect elders." Rao Zhu smiled at the six people in front of him and chuckled, "So you'd better decide for yourselves what to do and what not to do."
All six of them were shocked and nodded in understanding.
No wonder the rules of this second test are so vague. It turns out there is such a magical weapon as the basis. In this case, it is better to put some of the little thoughts aside quietly.
"Alright, that concludes today's affairs. You can choose to depart now, or return home and pack your bags before setting off. Or, you can wait ten days or half a month before setting off. This elder has no objection!"
Hearing Rao Zhu's casual words, the expressions of the six people were a little distorted.
The rules required them to travel alone, and their only guarantee was the sect elders in front of them.
If it really drags on for ten days or half a month, the distance between them and Rao Zhu will be too far. If they encounter danger, what use will the jade talisman be used to ask for help?
It was estimated that they would have been completely dead before Rao Zhu came back.
"...I wonder when the elder will set off?" Qu Cai asked.
Rao Zhu curled his lips and turned around to walk back.
"Of course, let's wait until Rong Jian wakes up!"
On the surface, she was telling the teenagers that they could set off at any time, but in reality, she was reminding them that without her protection, they should not rush around, because if something happened, she would be unable to make it in time and there would be nothing she could do!
So, not only me, but all of you who are participating, should stay and wait until Rong Jian wakes up, and then we will set off!
Six people: "..." Is this your real purpose? No, this is Yubieliu's purpose, right?
So the situation naturally turned out to be that the group from Yantian Sect and the people who participated in the disciple recruitment test ignored the test and just waited for someone to wake up.
