Chapter 4 Volume A: Polygonum Flowers and Human Relations
The woman in purple glanced at Chen Huaisheng, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating on his luck, and sighed softly.
Of course she could see Xuan Chimei's thoughts, but she didn't take it seriously.
Jiulian Sect is not an ordinary small sect, with strict rules.
Even though Xuan Chimei is extremely talented, she has only started practicing for three years after all. She is still at the second level of Qi training and is not considered an important person in the sect. At most, she can be regarded as a new star with great potential.
Although she has shown extremely high potential and talent, her talent and potential need to be realized. Time, understanding, materials, and opportunities are all indispensable.
The outstanding talents who enter these large sects every year are like crucian carp crossing the river. You can call them outstanding talents in a county or a prefecture, but among millions of people in a county, it may not be so.
There are only a handful of people who can truly cross the first-level chasm and enter the core of the sect.
Many people think they are unique and confident when they first start.
But as decades passed, I gradually fell back into mediocrity and accepted mediocrity.
However, Xuan Chimei is indeed one of the few geniuses in the sect in recent years, and is highly valued by some of the big guys in the sect.
"Chi Mei, do you have a good relationship with this senior brother?"
"When I was five years old, I went to Yuanbaozhai to visit relatives. I slipped and fell into the water. He saved me. At that time, his spiritual foundation was already determined, but his spiritual roots were not yet clear. It seemed that he only awakened his spiritual roots when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. It was a bit late and in a hurry.
I went out to travel and seek enlightenment, but there has been no news in the past few years..."
There was a hint of confusion on the girl's face, "I didn't expect that after six years, he still failed to enter the Tao..."
The woman in purple clothes shook her head: "Chi Mei, do you think everyone is as talented as you? There are more than 200,000 mortals in your county, 10,000 to 20,000 babies are born every year, and there are no less than a hundred Taoist people, even if they can awaken their innate spirit by themselves.
There are thirty or fifty people with basic skills, right? But how many people can really enter the Tao in a year? And they are either children of aristocratic families, or they are selected early by major sects. People like him awaken late and have poor talents.
, for people who are just trying their luck everywhere like headless flies, you should know that it is impossible to enter the Tao."
Young girls also know that generally speaking, those who set their Taoist bones before the age of seven only have the most basic threshold for entry.
If you have not awakened your innate spiritual roots before the age of fourteen, it means that you can only have acquired spiritual roots, and it is basically impossible to enter the Tao.
Even if you awaken your spiritual roots before the age of fourteen, it depends on the time. Generally speaking, the earlier the better.
Awakening your spiritual roots before the age of ten means that your spiritual roots are the best and your understanding is the best.
For example, she awakened her spiritual roots at the age of eight, so she was quickly selected by the recruiter of the Nine Lotus Sect and sent into the sect.
Those who awaken their spiritual roots between the ages of ten and fourteen also have a chance, but their qualifications are generally not as good as those who awaken their spiritual roots before the age of ten.
It is almost impossible for those who have not awakened their spiritual roots after the age of fourteen to awaken their spiritual roots.
Unless you take natural materials and exotic treasures to transform your Taoist bones and reshape your awakening spiritual roots, you will go from acquired to innate, and your qualifications will probably not be as good as those of your own innate spiritual roots.
But how can there be so many rare treasures in this world?
Moreover, wouldn’t it be good if there are really rare treasures that can be used on those Tao seeds that have innate spiritual roots?
Even the descendants of important people would find it difficult to get such an opportunity.
"It's just..." A struggling expression appeared on the girl's face.
"Okay, Chi Mei, I know you are a person who values friendship, but there is no point in doing something if you know it is impossible." The woman in purple advised.
For someone like Chen Huaisheng who is twenty years old and has not yet entered Taoism, Jiulian Sect will never allow him to enter. In fact, the fact that he only awakened his spiritual roots at the age of fourteen is destined to prevent him from entering the major sects.
"Senior Sister Xianxian, can you...?" The girl still refused to give up, looking at the senior sister with a pleading face.
In fact, she and this senior sister were not familiar with each other before.
It was also because this senior sister was coming to Yi County to pick up her disciples, and there were some changes in her hometown. She also wanted to come back and take a look, so she got permission from the sect to go together.
However, this senior sister took good care of her along the way, so she gradually became close to her.
"Chi Mei, do you really just want to help him?"
The woman in purple, Yu Xianxian, looked at the other party squarely.
Before coming here, the elders of the sect had specifically reminded them to take good care of this girl. She was a very potential foundation-building seed in their Yuanhe sect.
Yu Xianxian also knew that this girl was already at the second level of qi training at the age of thirteen. She entered the Taoist realm three months after she started, making her the fastest to enter the Taoist realm in the entire Jiulian Sect's thousand-year history.
In the past ten years, the average time for disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect to enter Taoism is about three years. It took me one year and three months, which is considered relatively fast.
But it only took her two months and twenty-six days, breaking the record of two months and twenty-eight days set by a genius ten years ago, which was less than a fraction of the time she spent.
What makes people feel even more desperate is that it only took more than three years for this girl to break two weights in a row.
You must know that it took me five years to master the first level of Qi training after I started, and it also took more than three years to master the first level of Qi training and the second level of Qi training.
But it only took him three years to break through the second level. The gap was so huge that Yu Xianxian couldn't help but feel jealous.
According to this girl's performance, she might not be sixteen until she catches up with her. Thinking of this, Yu Xianxian felt a little tired.
The competition in a large sect is unimaginable to outsiders, and its cruelty is equally chilling.
Just any one of the Nine Lotus Sects has hundreds of disciples, and there are dozens of disciples at the same level.
Everyone is working hard, hoping to reach the next level as soon as possible in order to obtain more resources in the sect.
Only if your performance is better, you can get the resources in the door.
Several Taoist species that I have introduced this time have actually gone through some selections and been given a one-year observation period.
But after you get started, if you haven't entered the Tao for more than five years, you will be given a choice.
Either you can move down to the side gate of the attached courtyard to practice on your own, or you can choose to withdraw.
In other words, even if you join the Nine Lotus Sect, you may not be able to enter Taoism.
Da Zongmen will give you some more ways to enlighten your spiritual awareness and give you more opportunities for self-realization, but if you can't do it, you will still be eliminated.
It's so cruel, even if you are a proud emperor in the county government, if you enter the door and have no breakthrough for several years, you will just get out and leave.
But if he really shows enough talent and potential, then the sect will not be stingy in giving him ample or even luxurious resources.
The Qi-moving and Smoothing Pill that this girl gave to Chen Huaisheng, although it cannot be called a treasure in the sect, is still very precious and cannot be obtained by disciples below the third level of Qi training.
In the fifteen years since I started practicing, I have received no more than thirty Qi-moving pills, and almost all of them were obtained after practicing at the third level of Qi training.
But this girl has only been practicing for three years, and her Qi training is only at the second level, but she already has five or six pills in her hand.
This is the difference.
So Yu Xianxian still wanted to make friends with this girl.
Maybe ten or twenty years later, this girl will build the foundation earlier than herself, and she may even become the Purple Palace in the sect in the future.
It's a waste to be able to form a friendship now.
She knew that this girl had few friends in the family and was lukewarm and cold-hearted towards everyone.
The girl glanced at Yu Xianxian in surprise and nodded solemnly: "Of course."
"Then let me tell you, you should also know that it is impossible for him to want to join our Jiulian Sect. Jiulian Sect never accepts such an old disciple. Even if it is an exception, it is impossible. You don't have that much face."
Yu Xianxian shook his head.
"Then what does senior sister mean by saying this?"
The girl was a little angry.
"Let's talk about it after you go to Liao County. You also know that there have been some changes in Xiyang, Liao County, and Pang County in your Yiyang Prefecture, so the sect has specially approved you to go back to visit your family, our sect and some other sects.
Also patrolling Yi County..."
Yu Xianxian hesitated for a moment, "If you can't join our Jiulian Sect, you may be able to join other sects that have a good relationship with our Jiulian Sect, but this depends on the attitude of the deacon in charge of Yijun."
The girl was very talented and understood immediately: "The deacon patrolling Yiyang Mansion is the elder of our Yuan He Sect?"
"It doesn't seem to be the case, but it belongs to the Xiyun Sect. The Xiyun Sect has always been on good terms with our Yuanhe Sect. Maybe we can ask the elders to help us talk about it. If it can be done, it will be better than him messing around like this. I really think
Rogue cultivators are so easy to mix up."
Yu Xianxian's words gave the girl a glimmer of hope, and she quickly said: "My little sister has only been here for a short time, and she has been busy practicing since she started, so she doesn't know much about the situation in the sect. I would like to ask my senior sister to help me this time.
My little sister will remember it for the rest of her life."
Yu Xian smiled as brightly as a flower and held the opponent's catkins: "Why did Chi Mei say this? You and I belong to the same sect and should help each other. If I can, I will naturally try my best."
Yu Xianxian also felt a little emotional in her heart. It was said that this woman was warm-hearted but cold-hearted, but it was rare for her to remember her feelings so well. If he helped her once, I hope she would remember it in the future.
Chen Huaisheng from the left side hall had finished adjusting his breath and took the initiative to come over to thank him and also come over to interact with him.
Needless to say, Xuan Chimei, Yu Xianxian, who is already at the third level of Qi training, is already the highest level Qi practitioner that Chen Huaisheng can come into contact with at the moment.
At the beginning, the highest level he could access in the branches of the two sects and the small sect was the third level of Qi training, which shows that the hierarchy in this sect is strict.
For example, in Yuanbaozhai, there are more than 1,000 households with nearly 4,000 people. Almost one or two children born every year have a Taoist seed, but in ten years, no one has become a Taoist.
Xuan Chimei is from Heimuya, but she is also the only person in Heimuya who has started practicing Taoism in the past ten years.
It can be said that Xuan Chimei is definitely one of the top figures in the entire Gu Town in the past twenty years. In Liao County, Xuan Chimei, who is less than thirteen years old, is also known to many people.
And with Xuan Chimei's current potential and being in the Jiulian Sect, given time, he can definitely be ranked in Yiyang Mansion or even Yi County.
No matter from which perspective, Xuan Chimei is something Chen Huaisheng needs to be grateful for and take seriously.
Seeing Chen Huaisheng's somewhat envious eyes on the disciples laughing and chatting around the campfire in the right side hall, Yu Xianxian could understand the other person's feelings.
But the reality is so cruel. You are also an innate Taoist. You have been working hard for several years and have gained nothing when you are over 20 years old. However, when you are only thirteen or fourteen years old, you will enter a big sect and wait to fly high.
"Chi Mei, you and Brother Shi haven't seen each other for many years. Why don't you go and talk first? I'll urge them to recuperate their energy and practice and rest early." Yu Xianxian was very sensible.
Xuan Chimei also nodded.
She also wanted to talk to this benefactor whom she had not seen for several years.
If Chen Huaisheng and two other Chen family members had not risked their lives to save her in the deep pool, she would not be where she is today. She will always remember this kindness in her heart.
