Many of the people present today are from famous families, so they naturally know this beautiful mature woman.
But they didn't expect that even Ji Wanshan, who usually stayed at home, would come out in person to preside over the ceremony.
While people were still marveling at the gentle temperament of this beauty, her gentle voice had already spread to the surroundings through the spiritual energy -
"Everyone, today is not the time for the sect selection examination for my Guiyi Sect."
“But I believe that many people in heaven should know what happened today.”
"Outside of our Heaven, there is a place called 'the present world'. Today, countless travelers have appeared in Heaven. I'm sure there are travelers among you as well."
After these words were spoken, the monks in the crowd couldn't help but look at each other warily.
One must know that the cultivators in the heavens are quite hostile to those time travelers coming in from "outside the domain". When they heard the elder of Guiyi Sect speak like this, they naturally became alert.
"There's actually a time traveler mixed in... Who is it?"
"These time travelers from the outside world are quite cunning and bold. They actually dare to come to Guiyi Sect so brazenly... Aren't they afraid that the elders of Guiyi Sect will find out? What's more, Sect Master Ji is also here."
The crowd began to whisper to each other for a while, and it seemed that they were all quite hostile to the time travelers.
However, at this time, Ji Wanshan's voice sounded again from above:
"After discussion, the Elders Council agreed to this special assessment ceremony. Firstly, they hope to add some fresh blood to the Guiyi Sect, and secondly, they are willing to give the time traveler a chance."
Ji Wanshan glanced at everyone gently and said, "Guiyi Sect is willing to accept all those who have passed the sect's assessment, including time travelers!"
These words made all the monks present excited and they started discussing it.
Afterwards, a young master from an ancient family couldn't help but look up and said, "May I ask what Guiyi Sect thinks? Since the time travelers came to Shangcang, they have secretly taken away a lot of our resources. They should be heretics!"
"Moreover, some people in this world did not travel with their bodies to the Heaven before. Instead, they directly occupied the bodies of some of us with their spirits and moved around in the Heaven under their names."
"Such hateful outsiders should all be expelled!"
These words were so passionate that many people were filled with righteous indignation and agreed with what this person said.
They had all heard that the descendants of some big families had their bodies taken away by time travelers, who used their identities to move around in the heavens.
Although some of the time travelers have been captured, I'm afraid there are still many who are still active in the heavens as descendants of large families.
Ji Wanshan maintained the gentle smile of an elder, looked around at everyone, and said softly: "The appearance of the time traveler mark is completely random, not a voluntary choice. If some of you present here also become time travelers in the future, and then travel to the present world, do you also want people in the present world to treat you like this?"
"Is there anyone willing to swear here that if they become a time traveler in the future, they will not mind if people in this world target them in the same way?"
silence.
The wind blew through the woods, but there was no sound at all.
Some people were not convinced in their hearts, but because the person who spoke was Ji Wanshan, they did not want to offend her.
Some people read some special information.
——Guiyi Sect does not exclude time travelers.
If this is the case, then it is probably not just the Guiyi Sect. The eight regions of the Eastern Continent have probably decided to accept the time travelers.
Ji Wanshan was not surprised by this, and she just said again in a soft and gentle voice: "If everyone has no other questions, then let's start preparing for this test."
The connection between the present world and the heavens has become an inevitable trend. After confirming two months ago that there were already many time travelers in the heavens, these ancient families no longer blindly hunted down the time travelers, but chose to absorb them.
As for the reason...nowadays, many big families in the heavens are quite interested in the two present worlds called 'Outer Star' and 'Inner Star', but they cannot travel to the present world.
If you want to understand the present world in order to gain certain benefits... then the easiest way is to control the many time travelers in your own hands.
However, Guiyi Sect's move still caught many ancient families by surprise.
Instead of secretly finding the time travelers and controlling them, they simply opened up the assessment and let the time travelers come to them themselves, and then verified them one by one.
The present world lacks cultivation resources and rich spiritual energy, but the Heavens have them all, and the Guiyi Sect has even more.
As long as you want to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, Guiyi Sect is one of the best choices.
This was the plan that Ji Ningshuang made after discussing with several elders before crossing into the present world.
As Ji Wanshan finished her words, the cultivators who were taking the test temporarily put aside their concerns about the "travelers".
For them, the more important thing right now is to pass the assessment and then become disciples of Guiyi Sect.
The rest of the things can be ignored for now.
"My friends, please follow me."
Seeing that everyone was heading towards the forest at the foot of the mountain, Yu Zeben was planning to go over and take a look, but at this moment he suddenly heard a gentle and pleasant voice coming to his ears.
Bai Ruixuan and others also heard the voice, so they stopped and saw Ji Wanshan walking down from the sky.
Some people stared with their eyes wide open. Although this beautiful woman seemed to be nearly thirty years old, her voluptuous figure and beautiful face unique to a mature woman were still particularly attractive.
Ji Wanshan didn't seem to mind their gazes. She looked around at the remaining people present and said, "All of you follow me to report to the sect."
Her voice was as gentle as a lady's, and as calm as water that could embrace everything.
"Don't we have to take the assessment?" Chang Qingxuan couldn't help but ask.
Ji Wanshan glanced at him and smiled slightly, "No need, you have Ji Ningshuang personally assessing you, so I think you should have some talent."
Chang Qingxuan was quite lucky. During this period, there were only twelve people who participated in the spiritual energy assessment in the current world and eventually became outer disciples of Guiyi Sect, and Ji Ningshuang was an exception and passed.
But now there are only six people who have reported, and the whereabouts of the remaining six are still unknown after they crossed through the heavens. I'm afraid they are still on their way to Guiyi Sect.
The journey is full of dangers. It is extremely difficult for a modern person to survive in the universe and even reach his destination.
However, Chang Qingxuan appeared at the foot of Guiyi Sect just after he traveled through time.
Ji Wanshan swept her eyes over the few people again, then raised her hand and made a gesture, and auspicious clouds appeared under the feet of the six people.
After the six of them were seated on the auspicious cloud, Ji Wanshan used her magic to send them to the main hall of Guiyi Sect to meet the outer disciples.
From beginning to end, Ji Ningshuang never opened her mouth and just watched the six people leave.
In front of everyone, she is still the leader of Guiyi Sect, and she will have plenty of opportunities to be with him in the future, so she naturally does not lack the time to report.
Since it was their first time flying in the air, the modern people looked quite excited.
Bai Ruixuan sat sideways on the auspicious cloud, looking down at the mountain forest that was gradually becoming smaller and smaller. She gently tugged at the corner of Yu Ze's clothes and said excitedly, "Classmate Yu Ze, will we be able to fly after we officially become cultivators?"
The girl's original uneasiness had now disappeared as she flew into the clouds. At this moment, she only wanted to become a monk as soon as possible so that she could fly in the future.
Compared to Bai Ruixuan's excitement, the faces of the other few people suddenly turned pale. Chang Qingxuan, who was originally planning to greet Yu Ze, instantly lost his mood. He looked at his feet nervously, and his legs were trembling.
He glanced at his deskmate and said nervously, "It's over, Yu Ze. Is fear of heights not suitable for cultivation...?"
Yu Ze: “…”
To be honest, he had never thought about this issue.
Fortunately, the flying time was not long. After only about ten minutes, the six people landed steadily in front of a palace.
There were only a few disciples of the sect passing by occasionally near the hall, and the huge main hall was silent.
Ji Wanshan turned around and looked around at the six people, smiling and said, "Ji Ningshuang's maid has already told me about the six of you. Now I will tell you about the rules of the sect."
"My Guiyi Sect doesn't have too many rigid rules. Now you all have a sect token in your hands. Every month, outer disciples receive a salary of five spirit stones. You can use these spirit stones to buy natural treasures at the sect's auction house, or you can directly refine spirit stones."
"Each Spirit Stone can be used for one day of cultivation. If you cultivate with Spirit Stones, your efficiency will be more than three times that of normal cultivation."
"In addition, outer disciples need to start as menial servants. After that, the chief monk and the elders will teach you for three days every week. As for where the teaching will take place, it depends on which chief monk will accept you as a disciple."
"Um... I heard that the Taoist techniques practiced in different main peaks are different?" At this time, a young girl in the crowd suddenly raised her hand and asked softly.
Ji Wanshan said in a gentle voice: "Yes, there are nine main peaks in Guiyi Sect. The Taoist techniques practiced in each main peak are different. Someone will introduce them to you later."
"Are you also the abbot of a main peak?" Bai Ruixuan suddenly asked.
Ji Wanshan shook her head gently: "I am not responsible for teaching disciples."
Several people present suddenly felt a little regretful.
From the respect those leaders showed to the beautiful woman in front of them, it was not difficult to tell that this woman's strength and status in the sect were definitely not low.
Although she was dressed simply and plainly, her proud figure could not be concealed. It would be such a blessing to become the disciple of such a beauty.
"mother!"
At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from a distance, which attracted everyone's attention involuntarily.
I saw a young girl running out from a distance and throwing herself into Ji Wanshan's arms.
The appearance of the girl made Yu Ze feel a little surprised.
The girl was wearing a moon-white gown with a front-breasted collar and a loose skirt. She had eyebrows as dark as distant black ink, a cherry mouth, and skin so white and tender that it seemed as if it could be blown away.
Although the skirt was a little loose, it could not hide the girl's soft figure. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Ji Wanshan caressed the girl's soft hair lovingly, her eyes full of maternal tenderness: "This child is called Ji Zihan, and I adopted her in the past. Although she is young, she has been practicing Taoism since she was young, so she can be considered your senior sister."
"If you have any questions, you can ask her later."
Ji Zihan raised his head with a faint smile on his face: "Mom, I remember there is a very important elders meeting today, right? You go ahead and do it, I will take them to visit the sect."
"You'd better be careful and don't overdo it." Ji Wanshan reminded softly.
Although Ji Zihan looks like a cute little white rabbit at the moment, she usually does whatever she wants in the sect. Since she has the support of the great elder, few people in the sect dare to mess with her.
Although Ji Zihan is naughty, Ji Wanshan is still very confident in her when she is doing serious work.
"Don't worry, my daughter knows her limits!" Ji Zihan said confidently.
Seeing her daughter's assurance, Ji Wanshan nodded slightly, then flew away.
But it put tremendous pressure on the people present.
It is not difficult to hear from the conversation between the mother and daughter just now that Ji Zihan is probably a very troublesome person... I wonder if he will cause any trouble when he takes them to visit the sect later.
Ji Zihan smiled brightly, scanning the six people, then stopped at Yu Ze for a moment, and then calmly retracted his gaze: "Please follow me, everyone. The sect is quite large, and you may not be able to visit it all in one day, but at least I will show you around and tell you where you will live in the future."
As she spoke, she gestured to the exit of the hall.
Yu Ze couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times.
For some reason, even though the girl looked unfamiliar, her eyes gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity...
It turned out that Yu Ze's suspicion was correct.
When he was about to leave, someone suddenly grabbed his belt from behind.
Yu Ze paused slightly and looked back subconsciously, looking in surprise at Ji Zihan's little hand that was holding his belt.
The girl seemed to realize the problem as well, her pretty face blushed, and then she glanced at the several travelers walking in front of her.
Afterwards, Ji Zihan walked to Yu Ze's side, tiptoed slightly, and whispered: "After the party is dismissed, ask the young lady to come to the side hall to find me."
"..."
Yu Ze was stunned for a moment, looking at the petite girl in astonishment, until at some point, an idea flashed through his mind.
...Chen Zihan?
Chapter 57: The First Step of the Soft Rice Cultivation Ceremony: Disciple Selection Ceremony
Chen Zihan?
Why is she here...?
Yu Ze had some doubts in his heart, but now was not the time to have a private chat with Chen Zihan, so he nodded calmly and followed the girl.
"This sect is much larger than I imagined..."
Bai Ruixuan sat on the auspicious clouds, looking down at the entire Guiyi Sect, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
There are nine main peaks standing side by side at their feet, like giants lying flat. Although the mountains are not steep, they stretch for thousands of miles.
Chi chi chi...
From time to time, I could hear the sound of several divine rainbows passing by. Some disciples from the sect flew past at a rapid speed, and I couldn't even see their faces clearly before they disappeared into the sky.
“In fact, most of the main peaks are similar, but the Taoist techniques to be practiced in the future are different.”
While flying in the air, Ji Zihan explained: "Guiyi Sect has a total of nine main peaks, and the main peaks are roughly divided into three small peaks. Although my mother is not responsible for teaching, she is actually an elder in a main peak."
Yu Ze looked down. Although he had heard about the vastness of Guiyi Sect before, when he really arrived at Guiyi Sect, he couldn't help but sigh that Guiyi Sect was truly worthy of the name of an ancient giant.
However, his mind was not on these things now, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Ji Zihan.
