Chapter 350 Questioning the Heart

Chapter 350 Questioning the Heart
"You have asked for too much, my dear guest. I am not within my authority to grant you that." The expression of the shopkeeper of the Lingbao clan was almost twisted into a bitter gourd.

"Forget it then. I'm not interested in ordinary things now."

"I just came up to relax for a while."

"Now that you're done relaxing, I'll go back and continue to help you crack those Taoist weapons." Xu Chen said and went offline directly.

Inside the cave, Xu Chen came to the valley where Da Xu was.

At this time, Da Xu was controlling a warship that was a thousand feet long with the help of several puppets.

This was caused by the last time Xu Chen came back and shared the innate spiritual treasure-level battleship with Da Xu.

Looking at the battleship's mighty main and secondary guns, Xu Chen couldn't help but ask.

"What's the difference between this battleship, this giant gun, this gunboat?"

"It's more powerful and uses more spiritual ore materials."

"This warship is faster and more flexible than the cannon boat. The protective formation on the warship can withstand the spirit fairyland. The key is that no matter what level of cultivation, it can be controlled under the control of the weapon spirit."

"Eight secondary guns and one main gun can deal with hundreds of Ascendant Realms in a wide area."

"This thing is just for practice. It will be of great use when you can refine immortal tools later."

As Da Xu spoke, the puppets under his command drove the Taoist warship into Da Xu's collection hall.

"Just listening to it, it seems that the cost-effectiveness is not high. It is not as good as batches of gunboats." Xu Chen said, touching the handle.

"Yes, in terms of power, the most cost-effective one is the Giant Cannon Gunship, and the other is the Light Lance Heavy Gunship."

After saying this, Big Xu suddenly looked up and down at Xu Chen.

"What do you see me doing?"

"Main body, you need to practice faster."

"It's pointless for me to just refine these Taoist tools. You should quickly embark on the path of immortality."

"This way I can refine more large items for you." Da Xu urged.

"No one else urged me, but you, the clone, urged me instead." Xu Chen looked at Da Xu speechlessly.

"Anyway, you should practice quickly. I have already thought of many interesting magic weapons."

"Now the only thing missing is the cultivation level." Da Xu pursed his lips.

"Okay then, I'll do it today."

Xu Chen responded perfunctorily, then returned to the training room and began to practice his supernatural powers.

There is no time in cultivation. When Xu Chen felt that his magical powers had just improved, he discovered that three years had already passed.

At this time, the Daxi Sect began its annual recruitment of new disciples.

In Leizhou and surrounding continents, almost all powerful families sent their children with potential here.

Not to mention the common people, who almost mobilized their entire family to send their gifted children for testing.

With the rise of Daxi Sect, the number of disciples admitted each year is gradually increasing, and the requirements are becoming more and more stringent as Daxi Sect develops.

Up to now, the major sects in Leizhou and its surrounding areas are now recruiting disciples who are almost all left over from the Daxi Sect.

Xu Chen, the junior master, was also pulled over by Yang Wanshan.

"I am making good progress in cultivating my supernatural powers. Why did you call me here?" In a special spiritual hall, Xu Chen looked at the light curtains on the walls around the hall and found that this year was the time to recruit new disciples.

"The sect is recruiting new disciples this year. It's not easy to get you in the sect, so of course I have to let you take a look." Yang Wanshan looked at the light curtain while previewing the information in the jade slip.

"How many disciples do you plan to recruit?" Xu Chen sat on the vice-seat in the spirit hall, looking at the light curtain around him.

"Two million supreme qualifications, four million spiritual qualifications."

"In addition, those who have the mortal qualities of perseverance will be given the status of outer disciples and can learn the Qi and Blood Foundation Building Method in the Sutra Library for free."

When telling the truth, Yang Wanshan also glanced at Xu Chen.

"Has the Lingzi Pill been popularized among our human race now?" Xu Chen suddenly asked.

"It has been widely available, but a couple can only get one Spiritual Child Pill for free. If the children after that want to take it, they need to spend Spiritual Coins to buy it. It's not expensive, 6000 Spiritual Coins, it takes five or six years to save up enough."

"That's not bad." Xu Chen nodded.

"What are the sect assessments now?"

Xu Chen looked at one of the large light curtains and saw that the first batch of disciples had already begun the assessment.

"It's still the same few things: perseverance, character, and understanding..."

"The first level tests one's conscience, the second level asks about the way in a fantasy world, and the third level tests one's resilience..."

"There are nine levels in total. Those who can pass the first three levels can enter the sect, and those who pass six levels can become inner disciples."

"If one can pass the nine tests, Elder Xuanxian will accept him as a disciple."

Yang Wanshan waved his hand, and several light screens appeared in front of Xu Chen, with information on several of the most outstanding new disciples on them.

"Of course, they are all pure immortal qualities."

"In a few years, our Daxi Sect might be able to attract disciples with Saint-level qualifications."

As Xu Chen spoke, he suddenly remembered the child with saintly qualities in the Broken Zone.

"How is that child with saintly qualities doing these days?" Xu Chen asked.

"Very good. Although I did not ignite the lamp of flesh and bones in the Qi and Blood Realm, I accidentally ignited the spirit in the Yang Shen Realm."

"He is currently at the Xuan Dao realm, and his combat power ranks among the top three in the same realm in the sect."

"After all, it's you who raised this child. I thought you would pay some attention to him."

"I don't have enough time to practice, so I don't have the mood to pay attention to this."

“It seems to be developing quite well.”

In the light curtain, the first batch of disciples have begun to enter the stage of self-examination.

In the illusion, the deepest desires in my heart were drawn out, and every word I said came from my soul.

"You are the general defending the city, and your cultivation is the highest in the city."

"At this time, foreign tribes are invading, and there are traitors in the inner city who are rebelling. If you put down the rebellion in the inner city, the big city will be invaded by foreign tribes, and you can escape with your parents, wife and children."

"If you defend the city, your parents, wife and children will die in the rebellion in the city. Please tell me your choice now."

Xu Chen happened to see a 10-year-old child being asked questions about his conscience.

"Push down the rebellion in the inner city, protect the family, and help the people escape."

"When I succeed in my cultivation in the future, I will pacify this alien race, spread their ashes thousands of miles away, and then die to atone for my sins."

The 10-year-old child burst into tears, as if he had really experienced this.

"This is the experience of Great Venerable Diyuan." Hearing this question, Xu Chen recalled the history of the human race that he learned when he was a child.

During that period of history, the human race had just risen under the leadership of the first Human Emperor. Their strength was not strong, and there was no means of resurrection after death.

The Great Lord Diyuan chose to start a war in Pingcheng, which resulted in the fall of the city. He fled with his family and all the people in the city, and in the end only 10% of the people survived.

At that time, the Great Venerable Diyuan was in the realm of celestial immortals.

"Yes, the answer you just saw from that child is the most realistic reaction."

“This answer is not wrong, but it is not brilliant either.”

Xu Chen then looked at the choices made by other children. Most of them chose to quell the civil unrest and protect their families first.

Only a very small number of people chose to resist the foreign races and sent a small number of troops back to the city to suppress the civil unrest.

Looking at the scenes imagined in the children's minds, there was war inside and outside the big city, and the sound of fighting was everywhere.

The child, who served as the commander, fought against the strongest alien race outside the city.

The city was filled with screams of the people, and a raging fire broke out in the City Lord's Mansion, the core of the city. That area was where the general's family was.

"It's a bit tragic. This question really is a question of one's conscience." Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh. If he encountered this problem, he might make the same choice as the Great Lord of Geopolitics.

"Brother, what choice will you make?"

"Don't we already have the answer?" Yang Wanshan pointed at the little boy who had just answered the question.

"Under the circumstances at that time, there was no point in defending the city."

"So at that time, our human race's major strategy was to protect people but not the land."

Then Xu Chen looked at other questions of conscience. Each one was very entangled and involved making choices between the things that were most precious to him.

After the soul-questioning session, all the children felt as if they had experienced a life-and-death separation.

"Basically, most children can pass the questioning stage."

Following Yang Wanshan's words, the first batch of children began to enter the second assessment.

Xu Chen was in this palace, watching these children pass one test after another.

"These kids are all pretty good, much better than I was back then." Xu Chen looked at these kids and remembered how he looked when he went in through the back door.

"It's also partly due to your Lingzi Pill."

As the assessment progressed, disciples with outstanding qualifications, talents, character and perseverance had broken through to the sixth level and obtained the qualification to enter the inner gate.

"This child has top-notch immortal talent. He seems to be from the Zhao family, the strongest family in Shenmuzhou."

"I want to open another branch of our Daxi Sect."

Xu Chen watched as the 10-year-old child with immortal qualities entered the 7th level. This was a test of comprehension. A figure taught the child 20 Taoist texts and, after teaching, tested his level of understanding.
