Chapter 390 The selection of the big competition begins
The next morning, Ye Kang stopped practicing, washed up and went to find Wen Youdao. It took more than half a year since the establishment of the Yuxuan Sect, and the first major competition was selected to select disciples, which was a big deal. All the elder-level people arrived at the conference hall.
Ye Kang looked at everyone, Dongfang Jingyun and Xuanyuan Zining were also on the elder's seat, and even the Supreme Elder Wang Yuquan, the ancestor of the Wang family, sat there and chatted with everyone. When everyone saw Ye Kang coming, they stood up.
Ye Kang also sat down and asked the ancestor of the Wang family first: "Ancestor, why are you here too?"
Wang Yuquan said happily: "No matter how I say it, I am the elder of the Yuxuan Sect. The two girls Shui Rou and Shui Yun also broke through, so I came to join in the fun and get familiar with each other!"
Ye Kang smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Wen, then let's go to the square!"
Everyone followed Ye Kang to the rostrum built by the square in front of the Immortal Palace and sat down in sequence. Ye Kang sat on the head's seat and looked down. The square was full of all the disciples of the Yuxuan Sect and Kong Xiangyun, Su Zhengqin, Chen Xi, Wang Fang, and Wang Xiujuan brought by Ye Kang. They were all in good spirits.
Ye Kang's women and Xing Renjie and his wife were mixed with their disciples, Kong Yanxi, Su Bingyu, Ye Bingxuan, Xia Yisheng, Shui Rou, and Shui Yun, these younger ones stood together.
Ye Kang said a few words to Wen Youdao beside him, and when the time came, he stood up and poured his true energy into his voice and said:
"Hello everyone, today is the first time the sect competition selection since the establishment of our Yuxuan Sect. This is an extraordinary day. Today's competition will select elite disciples, inner disciples and outer disciples. All selected disciples will have different rewards. As for the rewards, I won't tell you for the time being. Please tell Sect Wen about the rules of the competition now!"
Wen Youdao stood up and said, "I will briefly introduce the process of this competition. We don't engage in the ring competition in the second major competition. We have to go to the Death Desert trial field for trial. What is there in the Death Desert to come to the trial field for a while? I want to tell you that the trial will last for seven days. Those who can pass 50,000 feet or 75 kilometers in seven days are elite disciples. Those who can reach the Oasis of 50,000 feet in seven days are inner disciples, and those who can pass more than half of them within seven days are outer disciples."
Someone asked below: "Zheng Sect, what if you can't pass half of it within seven days?"
"If you don't reach half of it within seven days, you will be temporarily designated as peripheral disciples. You can give a chance to challenge it again in a year. If you haven't passed, I'm sorry, you can only be a servant or go to the Yuxuan School's industry as a security guard! I announced that the Yuxuan School competition selection competition will begin now, please ask everyone to join us in the trial field in an orderly manner!"
Ye Kang took the lead in the trial field, but he didn't expect that Xianbao sent a message to him as soon as he entered: "Master, there are six or seven hundred jade talismans here. If you ask the disciples of Yuxuan Sect to hold one of them in their wrists and recognize them with blood, this jade talisman can record all images in the trial field. If you encounter danger, you can input internal and soul power and transmit it to the trial field."
"Oh, why didn't you tell me that there was this thing before?"
"Master, I didn't say it before because I thought I could see all the people who tried it out. I also watched it. This time, the master's family has entered too many times, so I'd better be careful and don't have any accidents."
"Okay, not only my family but also my sect members are not afforded. The realm of the ferocious beasts inside is suppressed, and the highest cannot be higher than that of the Golden Pill stage!"
"I know the master. After the trial field is opened, there will be a formation stone screen on the gravity platform. You can see the situation in the trial field! The master will just wait there later. From the second floor, you can go directly to the highest level of the gravity platform. I'm going to work hard."
Ye Kang told Wen Youdao what the immortal treasure meant and gave the jade talisman to Wen Youdao and asked him to distribute it.
After all the disciples who participated in the trial and Ye Kang's family came in, they carefully looked at the rules of the Death Desert. Seeing that the Death Desert trial really killed people, some people became scared. Many of these people had never been out in Penglaimen, and had never even killed a chicken. Seeing that there were giant scorpions, roaring moon wolves and so on in the Death Desert, they were really timid.
Wen Youdao was very dissatisfied when he saw the expressions of these people and shouted loudly: "People who practice cultivation should not be afraid of hardships and move forward all the way. You are even afraid of practicing for trials. If you don't want to enter the trial field now, you can withdraw. We can send you back to the inland and give you three minutes!"
After Wen Youdao said to the disciples, he turned his head and said to Ye Kang: "Master, I suggest that these jade talismans are not sent to them. The probability of death of one in a thousand is already low so that it cannot be lower. There is no future for such disciples to stay!"
Ye Kang was very disappointed when he saw some disciples' performance. Whether it was Penglaimen or Yuxuan Sect, his life was too calm: "Brother Wen, just do what you said. After the trial, speed up the task hall. If you want to get resources, you must exchange meritorious or materials. In the future, the monster wilderness and the forest of the chaotic souls will be opened. The disciples of Yuxuan Sect would rather be insignificant than indiscriminate, and not accept everyone!"
After three minutes, there was no one who quit. The benefits of the Yuxuan Sect were so good. Ordinary disciples had a top-grade spirit stone every month. This would not have such high benefits in the sects in the cultivation world!
Wen Youdao felt a little relieved when he saw no one quit: "If no one quits, then go to the trial field. Each gate has a maximum of fifteen people, start entering!"
Some people also wanted to team up for the trial field, and Wen Youdao shouted: "No need to team up, those who enter the same door will not be on the same map. The trial field is a single-player trial mode!"
After everyone entered the trial field, Ye Kang took all the elders to the second floor of the Immortal Palace. He arrived at the Elite Mountain and saw a step exposed. Not far down the steps, he arrived at a place similar to a rooftop.
In front of the rooftop is a large step of more than one hundred steps, and at the bottom is an oasis, which should be a gravity step.
On the right side of the rooftop is a flat stone wall. The water curtain on the stone wall is like a large screen, playing images, two rows of upper and lower, one row is exactly fifteen split screens.
Ye Kang and the elders were all shocked. This was too awesome. Just like the surveillance on the earth, you could see everyone entering the trial field. On the water curtain, you could see that the people entering the same door seemed to be together. In fact, they could not see each other.
No one knows how these formations and special materials are made of these. The elders had registered their achievements and recorded their names, and sat down on the stone chairs on the stone curtain and watched the people on the big screen start to pass the level.
The distance of 75 kilometers is not far from these cultivators. If there weren't any wild beasts inside, they would have been able to walk in more than a day.
Even if there are not so many trial grounds, the desert is not only high in temperature, but also quicksand and ferocious beasts. It is still very difficult for some people who have no combat experience to get through the trial ground.
Ye Kang, Dongfang Jingyun, Xuanyuan Zining were not far away. After looking at the two of them, they were staring at the screen to look for their sisters. Compared with the other elders, they looked incompatible.
Ye Kang looked at the screen and looked for Ye Bingxuan, Su Bingxuan and Kong Yanxi. Ye Bingxuan was better. He was in the middle stage of foundation building. Kong Yanxi and Su Bingyu had not even reached the foundation building stage. However, these two girls were both very strong and unyielding. They had never lost the first place since childhood. This strong personality made Ye Kang very worried.
After searching for a while, I saw Ye Bingyu in the second wave of people. The girl was holding a sword in her hand and walked forward quickly while observing. Ye Kang knew that he was very careful when he observed Bingyu.
There were only a few king scorpions on the first day of the trial. They were not very physical and not very high in realm, so the people in the trial stage could basically solve the problem and hurry up.
Although Wang Yajun and Xinru are women, their speed of progress is no better than those men. In terms of ranking, both of them are in the top ten. Chu Shan, Tang Ruoyan, Cong Shu, and Zhang Meimei are not bad either. They can be considered the first echelon based on the overall speed.
There were more than a dozen of the inner disciples in the original Penglai Sect, and they basically reached the late stage of foundation building and their speed of moving forward was not slow.
Ye Kang looked at it for a while and found a problem. There were too few female cultivators in the Yuxuan Sect. Except for those who came to the trial stage, there were not even fifty female disciples.
Ye Kang asked Wen You beside him and said, "Brother Wen, there should be many women on Yuxuan Island, why are there so few people practicing?"
"The head of the sect, most of the women on the island are servants, maids and family members. There were some female monks from Penglai Sect in the past, but they were a lot of harmed by Brother Zheng Shaoqiang. Gradually, the women of Penglai Sect did not like to practice, and they had not gone out to recruit disciples for many years!"
Ye Kang thought for a while and said, "If the sect wants to develop in the long run, the proportion of male and female disciples cannot be half or half. At least female disciples must account for more than one-third. It seems that they have to think of some solutions in the future!"
Wen Youdao smiled bitterly and said, "How can we find a way? We can't go to the secular world to advertise and recruit disciples, right?"
"I'll find a way to find a way to cultivate some people from the maids and family members on the island, and then recruit some casual cultivators or people with talent for cultivation. It should still be recruited. The task of Yuxuan School in recent years is to develop and grow. Except for the quality of the character, everything else is not very important!"
After hearing the conversation between Ye Kang and Wen Youdao, Dongfang Jingyun said: "The leader, it is not difficult to recruit disciples. The hidden family prefers boys over girls. Many maids and servants have talent for cultivation. However, because of resource issues, most girls cannot practice, especially those second-rate families. They want to give them all to others when they give birth to girls. We can easily handle it with some elixirs!"
After hearing this, Ye Kang slapped his thigh: "Yes, why didn't I expect that, except for the girls from the direct line, most of the hidden family practice slowly by themselves and have no resources to provide them. Not bad, Jingyun! After this time, you and I will go back and see how many people with good character can be recruited to the Yuxuan School! Let's see the trial first!"
In one day, the fast disciples had already walked more than 20 kilometers and nearly one-third of the journey. The slower people had almost reached twenty kilometers. They only encountered scattered monsters on the first trial, so the speed of progress was not slow.
After the dozens of people walking in the front had passed one-third of the journey, their speed of moving forward began to slow down. For example, two roaring moon wolves appeared in front of Wang Yajun at the same time!
