Chapter 458: Competition for Quota Is Fierce, Backdoor?
No one doesn't want to stand out, especially for those who lack opportunities. Once they see an opportunity, they will desperately grab it, regardless of everything.
So, when the news of the Taoist Academy spread, the warriors of the world began the first wave of internal competition. They began to head towards Tiandu, wanting to seize this opportunity, leap over the dragon gate, and ride the wind.
"There are countless strong men in the world, but the only strong man who really takes us peasants seriously is the National Master."
"Yes, if it weren't for Master Pei, how could we, warriors from poor backgrounds, have a chance to make a name for ourselves."
"I heard that the compiler of the martial arts classics we are studying is Master Pei."
"Although some people say that the National Master killed many strong men along the way to his rise, aren't those people seeking their own death?"
"Master Pei founded the Taoist Academy to open a portal for ordinary people like us to rise. His great virtue is almost on par with the ancient saints."
"If I can join the Taoist Academy, the National Master will be my reborn parent, and I will go through fire and water and die to repay him."
"."
In today's world, the most popular thing is not the promotion of the Great Ming Dynasty, nor the enthronement of those gods, but the matter of Pei Xuanjing's founding of the Taoist Academy.
The most ordinary warriors actually have their own cognition. Whether the Great Ming Dynasty is promoted or the throne is conferred, what does it matter to the most ordinary warriors like them? They are just trampled on the ground and work like cows and horses for others, and there is no day to get ahead.
Could it be that if the Great Ming Dynasty is promoted, they will not pay taxes or grain, and can they be conferred anything?
Therefore, they really don’t pay much attention to these things. Instead, Pei Xuanjing’s announcement of the establishment of the Taoist Academy, allowing warriors all over the world to sign up and have the opportunity to participate in the selection, attracted their attention.
Who is Pei Xuanjing? He is the current Great Ming State Master, the well-deserved first person. The Taoist Academy he founded, as long as you can join, is tantamount to changing your fate.
Therefore, in this world, between the city and the market, Pei Xuanjing’s reputation has been rising all the way, and he has suddenly become a great and benevolent person comparable to the ancient sages, and a great savior of ordinary warriors like them.
Even some of Pei Xuanjing’s past deeds have been dug up and praised. Although Pei Xuanjing participated in the compilation of the martial arts classics in the martial arts academy, his contribution was not great, but insignificant.
However, in the current situation, he is praised by countless warriors, as if he was the leader of the compilation of the martial arts classics and he was the biggest contributor.
Pei Xuanjing was also at a loss for words about such a result. Even if he denied it, those warriors still thought that Pei Xuanjing was being modest. Not only did it not reduce their enthusiasm, but it made them admire Pei Xuanjing even more.
Yu Qing, a 27-year-old seventh-rank warrior, is one of them.
As an ordinary person, Yu Qing, like most of the thousands of warriors in the martial arts world, is also from an ordinary warrior family. His father was a man who was lucky enough to enter the ninth rank by relying on the martial arts classics and became a warrior, which improved the family's life a little.
However, before he grew up, his parents died in a vendetta in the martial arts world, leaving him alone to survive.
Although he had some talent for martial arts when he was less than ten years old, he could not afford the expensive martial arts resources and could not exchange them for the practice of martial arts.
He could only practice with the most basic martial arts, such as the martial arts classics. Later, he accidentally swallowed a magical medicine in a secret blessed land and became a warrior. After avenging his parents, he happened to encounter the army going out of the pass. He followed the army as a hired warrior to fight and exchanged for cultivation resources.
However, it is not easy for casual warriors to make a living outside the pass. Even if they hunt monsters, they will be exploited by those big forces, and there will be no harvest in their hands.
Even if they have been outside the pass for several years, the hard work can only support their lives, and there are not many resources for cultivation.
However, everything began to change at the moment when Pei Zhenren came. Pei Zhenren took the initiative to transfer a military city controlled by the Taoist sect and gave it to the warriors of the world.
As a result, they were less oppressed, their lives became richer, and the benefits obtained from hunting monsters every day would no longer be exploited by others.
In Yu Qing's heart, Pei Zhenren is a good man. He is compassionate and kind. He is the legendary saint. Pei Zhenren's existence gives hope to ordinary warriors like Yu Qing and sees the direction of progress.
And now, Pei Zhenren is going to create a Taoist temple and is willing to teach martial arts to warriors all over the world so that everyone can practice martial arts. His respect for Pei Zhenren has reached a peak.
"Creating a Taoist temple and teaching martial arts to warriors all over the world, what a great virtue!" Yu Qing sighed in his heart.
He secretly swore in his heart that this time he must strive for a place in the Taoist temple, enter the Taoist temple, and get the guidance of Pei Zhenren.
He did not expect to be able to become a disciple, but just hoped to do something to repay Pei Zhenren's kindness.
Yu Qing looked around and saw that there were many warriors who were like him, almost all of whom were of ordinary origin, and almost all of them had received Pei Zhenren's kindness.
Deng Zhong has been very busy these days. As one of the few spiritual realm masters in the Shenxiao Sect, if he wanted, he didn't need to be so busy. He could just practice in seclusion with peace of mind.
However, since it was something that the headmaster had personally ordered, he would naturally not refuse. Instead, he was very busy with these matters, and would not allow any omissions.
One day, he had just returned to Tiandu City from the outskirts of the city. He was about to go back to the Taoist temple to report the affairs of this period to the headmaster, but he happened to meet Taoist Xuanming of Baiyun Temple.
"Daoyou Deng, please stay." Taoist Xuanming stopped Deng Zhong.
"Hello, Taoist." Deng Zhong nodded and asked, "Is there anything you need?"
Taoist Xuanming nodded, looked around, and whispered, "Daoyou Deng, please follow me."
He pulled Deng Zhong, walked a few steps away, and said, "I invited you here today because I want to trouble you with something."
Deng Zhong was puzzled and asked tentatively, "May I ask what's the matter, Taoist?"
Taoist Xuanming smiled, and then whispered, "It's like this, I have an old friend, now..."
Hearing Taoist Xuanming's words, Deng Zhong thought to himself: It's true.
Taoist Xuanming had an old friend who was his friend when he was traveling around the world. Although this old friend has passed away, he left behind a descendant. He wants to ask for a place for this descendant to enter the Taoist temple.
"Master, don't you have some places in your hands? Why do you come to me?" Deng Zhong asked in confusion.
