Chapter 142: End of Recruiting Apprentices
The mysteries of cultivation are endless. Gu Luosheng is just starting out, but he is not discouraged.
After a few more years of research and accumulating experience, he will eventually gain something.
Isn't the blood of the spirit wolf the same?
From the initial few percentage points to breaking ten, it took more than ten years.
It's just that the Soul Devouring Wood needs to be created from scratch, so there is no way to play the ancestral trick, but he knows the blood of the Soul Devouring Wood very well, and the Howling Moon Spirit Wolf is a black box, so he doesn't have much disadvantage.
...
Outside Baimai Mountain.
Dozens of children gathered, and the voices were chaotic.
"Tomorrow there will be an assessment! So nervous! Huh... Huh... Qi Huaishan, I wonder if they can pass the assessment?"
The boy next to Qi Huaishan asked nervously.
"Lan Zhizheng, I have good talent, and I have never slacked off, so I should be able to do it!"
After half a year, Qi Huaishan was obviously more confident, and even had the energy to guess his friends' scores.
In the past six months, there have been small tests. Although he is not the best, he is also excellent.
When people know what they can do, they will naturally gain confidence.
His biggest problem is that his spiritual root is earth, which does not match the water and wood spiritual roots required by the teacher.
So, although he has good grades, he cannot guarantee that he will become the teacher's disciple.
In his case, even if his friend Lan Zhizheng cannot become a formal disciple, he has the opportunity to become a registered disciple.
(How can he have a chance? There are too many powerful people!) Lan Zhizheng was about to complain, but then he saw the silver-haired old man push open the door and walk out. He hurriedly said: "The teacher is here, stand up!"
The twenty-three children lined up in a few seconds, and it was very quiet for a while.
"Well, it seems that everyone is here."
Gu Luosheng glanced and nodded with satisfaction.
"His test is very simple. Cross the Baimai Mountain and reach the top of the highest mountain. The two people who arrive the fastest will become his formal disciples. He will accept the others as registered disciples based on their performance. The number is uncertain. It may be none or many."
"Then, let's start the assessment."
Cross the Baimai Mountain?
Many children blushed.
Even if the straight-line distance is 200 miles across Baimai Mountain, not to mention the rugged mountain road, even if they practice the art of nourishing qi, it will probably take several days to walk!
Suddenly, a child saw the girl standing in the front with food and water, looking fully prepared.
He was angry and shouted: "Teacher, Le Zhi brought food, is that allowed?"
"Not only Le Zhi, Qi Huaishan and Lan Zhizheng also brought food! Did they know the content of the test in advance?" A child looked grim, if it was not determined, why bother with the test?
The girl who was pointed turned around, her eyes piercing.
'Don't blame them for your stupidity! '
"It's clearly written on the sign there that tomorrow's test will pass through Baimai Mountain. If I had come to check it out in advance, I wouldn't have that question! '
"And the chef in the cafeteria also mentioned it a long time ago, please bring more food and water! "
"You are weak, not good at preparing, and stupid. Do you want to be my disciple?"
The children were overwhelmed by the momentum of one person and were speechless.
Just when they wanted to find Gu Luosheng to ask if it was true, they found that the old man had disappeared.
The assessment has begun!
In the crowd.
An ordinary boy who was not very optimistic tightened his bag, stepped back silently, and wanted to leave quietly.
However, his expectations were dashed.
"The sign said that intentional injury is not allowed, but it did not say that food is not allowed to be robbed. Le Zhi and Qi Huaishan are strong. They robbed food, but aren't they weak? Shi Chengyu, do I want to escape? He didn't ask for too much. He would let me leave if I gave him half! "
A boy stopped Shi Chengyu who wanted to leave.
"Meng Shi..."
Shi Chengyu's mouth twitched.
His talent was the worst among the crowd, so his cultivation was naturally not as good as the boy in front of him.
In the final analysis, the children who did not come to inspect, in addition to being lazy, most of them lacked self-confidence.
"He agreed, but he would talk about it after leaving there! "
Shi Chengyu shouted and ran directly into Baimai Mountain.
Meng Shi didn't want to push him too hard. Half of the food was enough for him to get out of Baimai Mountain. If a fight broke out, it would lead to the consumption of external energy, which would put him in an unfavorable situation.
He even chased after him.
Some of the remaining children also wanted to grab food, but they hesitated for a moment and missed the opportunity.
Baimai Mountain is so huge, how can they find people after getting in?
Some of them set their sights on other people, and some went directly into the mountain and prepared to rely on themselves.
At that time, Le Zhi and Qi Huaishan were already far ahead and stepped into the outside of Baimai Mountain without any hindrance.
...
Gu Luosheng observed secretly and did not show up.
A few days later.
All the children gathered on the top of the mountain, waiting for the original announcement.
Most of them looked dejected, knowing that they could not pass the test.
Gu Luosheng walked out and announced directly: "Le Zhi, the first to reach the top of the mountain, achieved outstanding results, and obtained the qualification of a formal disciple. "
"Qi Huaishan, the second place, although I don't have earth spirit roots, he doesn't have much to teach me, but I practice hard and am very smart, so I should have the opportunity to enter the world of immortal cultivation."
"Thank you, Master!"
The two of them excitedly knelt down and kowtowed, which was considered a simple worship of the master.
Gu Luosheng nodded, asked them to stand aside, and continued to announce: "The four named disciples in the east are Meng Shi, Lan Zhizheng, Shi Chengyu, and Meng Shan."
What?
Many children were shocked.
Not to mention them, Shi Chengyu and Meng Shan themselves were very strange.
In Mengshi, Lan Zhizheng's grades were among the best, so it was normal to become a registered disciple.
But if one of them is in the middle of the platoon and the other is at the bottom of the platoon, why is it okay?
"Registered disciples need support in ability and character, rather than all-round strength. Meng Shi and Lan Zhizheng are of acceptable strength and have strong mobility, so they can be trained as guards. Shi Chengyu is careful and perseverant, and it doesn't matter even if his talent is slightly lower. , Meng Shan is the only child who has saved others during the trial, which is in line with Mu Linggen’s character.”
Gu Luosheng briefly explained a few words, and then continued: "We can't practice with him, but he needs some human legs to help him in Wu Kingdom. If we are willing, we can continue to practice there. If we don't want to, forget it, we can It’s not bad to go back and be a rich man.”
If he didn't know about cultivating immortals and was born into a poor family, he probably would have continued to study science and technology to improve his quality of life, then marry a wife and have children, spend his life happily, and then look at the impact he had made in his later years and be contentedly closed in. Eye.
But in that world there was cultivation and the path to immortality, and nothing attracted him more than immortality.
After a moment of silence.
The children made their choices one after another.
"Teacher, he begged Liudong!"
"He wants to go back..."
Watching the young children making choices one by one, Gu Luosheng couldn't help but think about Luoshan Country.
I wonder how Luoshan Country will develop after he leaves.
