Chapter 55: A family must be in good order
After all the mortals who came to register had received the spiritual fruits, Li Yanmo clapped his hands and put the stall into his ring.
Cheng Yuejie, who was still eating a banana, finally reacted and wiped her mouth quickly, "May I know the name of this Taoist friend?"
"Me? Oh~ My name is Li Yanmo, and your sect leader asked me to come here to help. I'm going to go up and register to be a disciple. Can you lend a hand?"
Cheng Yuejie hesitated for a moment.
The Qingshan Sect has people and a large formation specifically responsible for identifying the talents of disciples. It is somewhat unreliable to let Li Yanmo, who is at the seventh level of Qi training, be in charge. But when Cheng Yuejie thinks of Li Yanmo's domineering way of throwing away spiritual fruits, she feels a little guilty.
In the end, Cheng Yuejie nodded, and with her cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, she flew on the clouds and brought Li Yanmo to the gate of the mountain.
In the past, there would have been a lot of noise in front of the mountain gate at this time. All mortals felt that opportunities and talents had to be fought for, so they especially wanted to be the first. But today, the front of the mountain gate was particularly peaceful. The mortals in front of the mountain gate seemed to be here to travel and make friends. They were talking and laughing, eating fruit, and looked very calm.
When they saw Li Yanmo appear, these people became enthusiastic and waved to Li Yanmo one after another.
Li Yanmo laughed and pressed his hand, took out the stall again, patted the notebook, raised his hand and waved to the family of three in the front, "Come on, come on - if you are nervous, eat some fruit to calm your nerves."
The family of three who were called stepped forward immediately, and the father nervously pushed out his son who looked no more than twelve years old.
"What's your last name? What's your name? What does your family do?"
The twelve-year-old boy scratched the back of his head in a simple and honest manner, "My name is Tieniu, my family is a farmer, my parents sold their land hoping that I can have a bright future."
The little boy's parents immediately became nervous.
They had long heard that those who practiced immortal cultivation were the sons of high-ranking officials and came from extraordinary backgrounds.
"Well, I see that you have a lot of potential, so go ahead."
Cheng Yuejie looked at Li Yanmo in surprise.
In her opinion, Tie Niu was just of average talent. Even if Qingshan Sect was in decline, it would not cultivate such a disciple.
"Thank you, Immortal!"
Tieniu's family immediately became excited.
Tie Niu's mother held Tie Niu tightly and was reluctant to let him go. Tie Niu's father crossed his arms over his chest, looking like a tough guy, but his eyes were full of reluctance. In their opinion, this separation might be forever.
This might be the last time they meet.
Cheng Yuejie closed her eyes and didn't look.
"I see that you two are also very capable, let's go up together."
When Li Yanmo said this, the Tieniu family, who were speaking from the bottom of their hearts, were stunned for a moment, and Cheng Yuejie's eyes almost popped out.
"Really? No, isn't there an age limit?"
"The age limit has been raised to fifty this year," Li Yan pushed the plaque with Liu Wuchang's autograph aside.
Cheng Yuejie immediately stepped forward to watch, and looked back and forth several times. Cheng Yuejie staggered back a step.
This is indeed the master's personal signature.
Li Yanmo's voice was quite loud, and the people behind Tie Niu's family also heard about the age increase. Their breathing became rapid, and some even couldn't help but shouting "Long live Qingshan Sect".
After hearing this shout, others couldn't help but shout along.
The news of the age increase spread quickly, and soon all the mortals on the entire mountain road began to shout "Long live Qingshan Sect". The noise was so loud that it even startled a flock of birds.
When the Chongshan Sect members in the main hall heard the noise, their faces changed, but they still resisted the urge to go and investigate and pretended to be calm.
"Okay, next family! Hey - I see a ray of inspiration coming out of your heads, go up, go up -"
"You guys...hiss, you are so scary, go up, go up!"
Seeing Li Yanmo shouting in shock at the couple, Cheng Yuejie quickly reached out to stop Li Yanmo, "Friend Li, what are you doing?"
"Transporting talents?" Li Yanmo was full of confusion.
Cheng Yuejie was full of doubts. She smiled apologetically at the family who were impatiently approaching, then dragged Li Yanmo aside, set up a soundproof barrier, and then stared at Li Yanmo's eyes with a serious face, "Friend Li, I already know that you came here to help Qingshan Sect, but it's not good for you to do this."
"Both the Dao Sect and the Dayu Dynasty have regulations that if you accept a disciple, even if it's just to do menial work, you have to give him corresponding rights and resources. You letting so many people go at once can indeed solve the urgent problem, but our Qingshan Sect can't afford to support them at all!"
When he heard that he couldn’t afford it, Li Yanmo’s eyes widened instantly.
Cheng Yuejie thought Li Yanmo understood, so she removed the soundproofing barrier.
Then Li Yanmo stood directly on the table with his hands open, "Do you want to cultivate immortality?"
Those who heard Li Yanmo's voice were stunned for a moment and then thought of a possibility. They began to breathe rapidly and shout.
Although the people behind didn't know what Li Yanmo said, when they heard the people in front shouting, they started shouting too.
Cheng Yuejie's face suddenly turned pale.
"The Dao is compassionate. The moment you want to cultivate immortality, you are qualified. Come, come, pass the paper around and write down your name and occupation. Those who are illiterate can ask the people around you for help. I can assure you that I will not look down on you because of your background. If you don't believe me, you can eat a fruit and think about it!"
After saying that, Li Yanmo jumped down and handed the paper and the charcoal pencil that he had prepared in advance to the person in front.
He had already confirmed the number of people when he was delivering the baskets downstairs, so there was enough paper and charcoal pencils.
Cheng Yuejie's legs went weak and if she hadn't held onto the mountain gate in time, she would have collapsed to the ground.
According to the rules of Taoism and the Dayu Dynasty, after passing through the mountain gate, a large formation must be set up to test the spiritual roots of these people.
The operating logic of the formation for testing spiritual roots is very simple. It extracts spiritual energy from spiritual stones and flows it through the bodies of people in the formation. The better the other person's aptitude, the more obvious the reaction of the formation will be.
In other words, the more people go up, the more spirit stones will be burned.
With so many people going up, at least 100,000 spirit stones will be burned, and most of them are over the age limit!
In other words, these 100,000 spirit stones were completely wasted!
Cheng Yuejie wanted to stop him, but Li Yanmo had already said it. If she spoke out to stop him, it would definitely ignite these people's dissatisfaction, and they might just leave. Then Qingshan Sect would be really finished.
In the end, Cheng Yuejie had no choice but to watch numbly as pieces of paper with names on them were passed back.
At the same time, Tie Niu and his family had arrived at the top of Qingshan Sect.
The family, who came from a peasant family, had never seen the wonders of the world of immortal cultivation. They were so frightened that they stood still and dared not move forward.
Wu Lang stared at Tie Niu's family blankly for a while, then turned his head to look behind them. Seeing that no one came over for a while, Wu Lang immediately covered his forehead and laughed, "No... Brother Liu, what's the matter with you guys?"
Liu Wuchang's expression remained unchanged, as if Wu Lang was air. The fifth elder who was in charge of presiding over the formation walked forward with a warm smile to talk to Tie Niu's family, and welcomed them into the formation.
Wu Lang shook his head in distress, picked up the tea and started drinking.
Under the warm smile of the Fifth Elder, Tie Niu's family relaxed. However, when they saw the spiritual energy coming, the three of them nervously held each other's hands.
The detection process was not long, and only a few breaths of spiritual energy flowed through the bodies of Tie Niu's family.
The fifth elder picked up the magic weapon that controlled the formation, took a look at the contents on it, and said lightly.
"You three have excellent qualifications. You go and wait over there first. I will take you to get the clothes of the Qingshan Sect. When everyone is here, you can go and choose a cave. How about you three living together as a family?"
Tie Niu and his family of three were overjoyed and kept thanking him.
For them, being able to practice cultivation is an unimaginable fortune, so why would they have any objection to the cave? They would even be willing to live directly in the mountains.
Wu Lang spat out a mouthful of tea and looked at Tie Niu's family in disbelief.
Are these three people's qualifications superior?! What about their spiritual roots? Even the results of their spiritual roots are unpredictable?
