Chapter 254: Disciple Selection
The next day.
Lin Yulu slept until noon.
When she got up, Yue Lingxi was no longer in the room. She must have gone to look for Yue Zhili.
Feeling the bustle of Xiyuan City, she didn't want to stay in the room anymore and prepared to go out for a walk.
"Sister Lin, you're down." As soon as she came down, she saw Yue Lingxi waving her hands towards her.
Yue Lingxi: "Sister Lin, please sit down."
Yue Zhili: "Miss Lin."
"You went out early in the morning, but have you found the room?" Lin Yulu nodded and sat down.
She took a piece of cake, took a bite, and it tasted good.
"No, the inn in Xiyuan City is still overcrowded. I'm afraid there won't be any vacant rooms during this period."
Yue Lingxi looked disappointed. This way, her brother might have to sleep in the carriage forever.
"It's okay. I can just stay in the carriage for a few days by myself." Yue Zhili patted his sister's head soothingly.
Yue Zhili: "In three days, Yunlan Sect will hold a selection test for sect disciples at the Royal Academy. As long as you pass the test, you can enter Yunlan Sect. It would be even better if you can enter the inner sect."
Lin Yulu: "With your cultivation level, it should be no problem for you to be admitted to the Yunlan Sect."
As for the inner door, it’s a bit uncertain, but there is still some hope.
Yue Lingxi nodded and said, "My brother and I have been practicing diligently over the years, just to be able to enter the Yunlan Sect one day. This has been our dream since childhood."
Because only by entering the Yunlan Sect can one decide his own destiny without having to worry about being excluded from marriage by the family.
The Yue family is considered a big family in Licheng, but once they leave Xiyuan Kingdom, the Yue family is just a low-level cultivation family.
Lin Yulu: "Do you know what you need to take in order to enter the Yunlan Sect?"
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. There is some truth to this statement.
Yue Lingxi thought for a moment, then counted on his fingers and said, "The Yunlan Sect's disciple selection is extremely strict. In addition to age and qualifications, the candidate's cultivation is also assessed."
Lin Yulu nodded in understanding. It was a very normal assessment process, but she had never experienced it before or now, so she was a little curious.
Yue Lingxi continued, “Generally speaking, apart from the children of the sect families who can be admitted to the Yunlan Sect, ordinary cultivators have very few chances to be admitted to the Yunlan Sect. Of course, there are exceptions.”
Yue Zhili continued his sister's words and said, "As one of the top sects in the Western Continent, the Yunlan Sect has abundant inner sect cultivation resources. As long as you can enter the Yunlan Sect and practice hard, you will have the opportunity to form a pill. Such an opportunity is what everyone wants."
It is difficult for a small family to obtain enough cultivation resources to reach the Nascent Soul stage, so it is normal for disciples from small families to enter large sects.
Even many disciples from small sects will take part in the assessments of top sects, hoping to enter a large sect and gain more resources for cultivation.
Yue Lingxi: "Sister Lin, are you really not going to take the test with us?"
That's the Yunlan Sect. With Sister Lin's strength, she will definitely be able to enter the inner sect. Maybe she can even become a direct disciple, which is something she dare not even think about.
Lin Yulu spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "Didn't I say before that I have my own sect and will not participate in the selection of other sects."
“But I heard that disciples from those small sects will also participate in the Yunlan Sect’s disciple selection. So even if Sister Lin has a sect, she can still participate in the assessment.” Yue Lingxi asked in confusion.
"Ling Xi, don't speak nonsense. Those small sects participating in the selection are all affiliated sects of Yunlan Sect. This is different. Moreover, Miss Lin's sect is definitely not worse than Yunlan Sect." Yue Zhili smiled apologetically at Lin Yulu, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry, Ling Xi has no ill intentions."
Lin Yulu waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay."
After hearing this, Yue Lingxi no longer dared to ask her to take the Yunlan Sect exam.
…
Three days later.
"Sister Lin, my brother and I are going to the Royal Academy to take the exam." Yue Lingxi was very excited. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
This day has finally come.
Lin Yulu nodded, "Then you guys do your best."
Yue Lingxi nodded heavily, "We can definitely do it."
Lin Yulu chuckled. It was obvious that they were determined to join the Yunlan Sect. Hopefully, they could get what they wanted.
After they left, Lin Yulu also went out to play.
She had never seen such a grand sect disciple selection and assessment competition. This was a rare opportunity and she would definitely watch it carefully.
The Yunlan Sect’s disciples were assessed at the Royal Parade Ground, which was very large and could accommodate 10,000 people.
At the entrance of the training ground, disciples of the Yunlan Sect were in charge of registration. Lin Yulu glanced at the team and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. There were really huge crowds of people.
There were many people queuing and registering, but not many people were actually able to enter the training ground.
Lin Yulu looked at it for a while and felt it was boring. He was about to leave when he was discovered by the elders of Yunlan Sect.
Lin Yulu smiled awkwardly, "I was just passing by and took a look out of curiosity. I have absolutely no ill intentions."
She also knew that it was not a good idea for her to hide behind and watch the fun. She inexplicably felt a little guilty, but not much.
"I'm Zhou Daocheng, the outer sect elder of Yunlan Sect. May I know what your name is?" Zhou Daocheng bowed. He couldn't see the cultivation level of this Taoist fellow, but there were many high-level cultivators who came to Xiyuan City.
Lin Yulu laughed dryly, "Lin Yulu from Kunlun Mountain."
Zhou Daocheng was moved, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Lin. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."
Putting aside the question of which sect Kunlun Mountain belongs to, Lin Yulu alone is no ordinary person, and he doesn't want to make enemies with her.
"If Fellow Daoist Lin is curious, you may come in and take a look," Zhou Daocheng invited.
"Then I won't be polite." Lin Yulu laughed, and the next moment he appeared in front of Zhou Daocheng.
Zhou Daocheng was shocked and became more cautious towards her, and his guess became more certain.
"I've been watching outside for a while. Apart from spiritual roots, age and cultivation, what other tests are you going to take? Is it actual combat?" Lin Yulu asked.
She was really curious because she had never participated in this kind of sect assessment, let alone seen it.
Seeing that she really didn't understand, Zhou Daocheng explained, "When Yunlan Sect recruits disciples, it not only looks at the disciples' qualifications and cultivation, but also their character. Sometimes character is the most important. As long as they can pass the last level, they can become disciples of Yunlan Sect. The outstanding ones can even enter the inner sect."
"The last level, what is that?" Lin Yulu asked curiously.
"The state of mind." Zhou Daocheng pointed at the mirror in the middle of the training ground and said slowly, "A cultivator who enters the state of mind can see his own heart and magnify the obsessions and demons in his heart. If he can get rid of the obsession and successfully walk out of it, it means that his mind is qualified. If he is trapped in the obsession and cannot walk out, then he has failed."
This state of mind seems to be the most difficult one, she thought, supporting her chin.
After enjoying the view to his heart’s content, Lin Yulu said goodbye and left.
Zhou Daocheng became more cautious about her hurried comings and goings.
Kunlun Mountain, Lin Yulu, it seems like this is another hidden sect.
