Chapter 545: Still Applying for a Taoist Priest
"I also plan to join a Taoist school, but it's hard to get ahead if I join a top-tier one, and it's also hard to get ahead if I join a poor-quality one. I can only join a mid-tier one..."
Ding Huan agreed with Ji Luo's point of view.
Ji Luo chuckled and said, "Don't brag. Your current cultivation level is at the peak of the Great Yi Immortal Realm. It's unlikely that you can join the most rubbish Taoist Academy with your cultivation level."
Ding Huan understood what Ji Luo meant. You couldn't join the Dao Fa Academy just because you wanted to. It was more difficult than joining any of the major forces.
"I will first be promoted to Daluo Immortal, and then join Yonghuang Divine Power Academy." Ding Huan chose an academy.
Although the name of Yonghuang Shentong Academy sounds like an academy related to magical powers, it is actually a comprehensive Taoist academy.
It’s just that the magical powers taught at Yonghuang Divine Power Academy are relatively famous, and there are too many Taoist academies, so they decided to be different and name it the Divine Power Academy.
The name of Shentong College has limitations in terms of enrollment, and is definitely not as good as the comprehensive Taoism and Law College.
But compared to some water-based academies, fire-based academies, etc., Yonghuang Shentong Academy is considered quite good.
Another point is that the Yonghuang Divine Power Academy is affiliated to the Star Realm Taoist Alliance, which is considered a medium-sized force in the Avenue Corridor.
There are places for promotion to the Immortal Lord here.
On the surface, Yonghuang Shentong Academy is affiliated with the Star Realm Taoist Alliance, but the threshold for entering Yonghuang Shentong Academy is much higher than that of the Star Realm Taoist Alliance.
In addition to the fact that the academy's Taoist teachers are superior to ordinary cultivators, there is also the opportunity to obtain a place in the Yonghuang Divine Power Academy for promotion to the Immortal Emperor.
Of course, the way the academy obtains the Immortal Emperor promotion quota is different from the way the major forces in the Avenue Corridor obtain the Immortal Emperor promotion quota.
The number of places for promotion to Immortal Emperor for each major force in the Avenue Corridor is fixed, and each force knows it clearly.
The places for promotion to Immortal Emperor, Immortal Lord, and Immortal King in any academy are won through each assessment competition and various fighting competitions.
Even if it is the Xixu Taoist Academy, which is ranked first in the Avenue Corridor, if one wants to obtain a spot in the Immortal Emperor promotion, one still needs to obtain a sufficient ranking in the assessment competition.
Of course, if you are in the last-ranked Taoism and Law Academy, as long as you get good enough results in the inter-academy assessment competition, you can also get a place to be promoted to the Immortal Emperor.
This is the biggest difference between the Dao Fa Academy and the forces.
"Brother, you must help me keep an eye out for the whereabouts of treasures like the Nine-Colored Void Lotus and the Mist Jade Fairy Fruit. I'm counting on you." Ji Luo's pitiful voice came.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for you." Ding Huan had originally planned to help Ji Luo find materials to restore his body.
Ji Luo is a good person. He left three thousand great ways for him to study and help Ji Luo recover his body. Naturally, he will do his best.
……
Two days later, Ding Huan casually simulated a tribulation scene in the wilderness, was promoted to Daluo Immortal, and then went straight to Yonghuang Divine Power Academy.
Yonghuang Divine Power Academy is within the jurisdiction of the Star Realm Taoist Alliance, so Ding Huan did not dare to use the cosmic pot.
He took a top-grade flying fairy weapon and it took him five days to reach Nanyi Fairy City, and then he took the teleportation array in Nanyi Fairy City to Yongzhou Fairy City.
The Yonghuang Divine Power Academy is located inside the Yongzhou Immortal City.
In fact, after Ding Huan came to Yongzhou Immortal City, he found out that Yongzhou Immortal City was actually inside Yonghuang Divine Power Academy.
In Yongzhou Xiancheng, the logo of Yonghuang Divine Power Academy can be seen everywhere.
Even the fairy buildings, commercial buildings, inns, streets, etc., are all flying the banner of Yonghuang Divine Power Academy.
It seems that as long as you are in Yongzhou Xiancheng and don’t have any connection with Yonghuang Divine Power Academy, there is something wrong with you.
The streets of Yongzhou Xiancheng are well-ordered. Compared with Tianyuan Market, this place seems more harmonious and peaceful.
When the divine sense was swept out, it was found that there were not many divine sense shielding restrictions in Yongzhou Immortal City.
Many immortal clans and small sects are stationed in Yongzhou Immortal City.
These should all be attracted by Yonghuang Divine Power Academy.
Ding Huan didn't even need to ask anyone for directions before he arrived at the Yonghuang Divine Power Academy.
The protective formation outside the Yonghuang Divine Power Academy is a ninth-level immortal formation. The entire academy is locked by the protective formation, and under normal circumstances, divine thoughts cannot be scanned in.
The street outside the academy is several times wider than other streets, and there are four guards at the door.
Even outside the academy, the vitality of heaven and earth is far stronger than anywhere else.
Ding Huan sighed inwardly. This Yonghuang Divine Power Academy was only a medium-sized academy, yet it was so magnificent.
If it was the number one ranked Xixu Law School, then the aura would probably be even more arrogant.
"Non-academy students are not allowed to approach the academy." As Ding Huan just walked to the academy gate, a guard stopped Ding Huan with a stern tone.
Ding Huanyi clasped his fists and said, "Brother, please come. I have admired the Yonghuang Divine Power Academy for a long time. I want to apply to be a Taoist master in the academy. I don't know how to apply?"
Hearing Ding Huan's words, the four were stunned.
It’s not that no one applies to be a Taoist Master at Yonghuang Shentong Academy. In fact, there are too many people applying to be a Taoist Master at Yonghuang Shentong Academy every day.
The key point is that Ding Huan’s cultivation and age don’t seem to be good enough.
Ding Huan didn't look like Luo Tianxian at first glance, and he didn't seem to be very old either.
The minimum standard for recruiting Taoist masters at Yonghuang Divine Power Academy is to be a Daluo Immortal, but in reality, 100% of the Taoist masters who come to apply are in the late or even peak stage of Luotian Immortal.
What qualifications does Ding Huan, a mere Daluo immortal, have to apply for the position of Taoist master at Yonghuang Divine Power Academy?
In Yonghuang Divine Power Academy, some students’ cultivation levels are higher than Daluo Immortal.
After a while, the guard who stopped Ding Huan continued to ask, "Do you want to come to Yonghuang Shentong Academy to be a Taoist master?"
"Yes." Ding Huan nodded affirmatively.
The guard suppressed his laughter and tried to look serious: "Go to the Immortal Recruitment Building of the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy in the Eternal Day Immortal City. You will find the detailed information there."
"Thank you." Ding Huan thanked him and turned to leave.
He could guess from the expressions of these guards that it was difficult to apply to Yonghuang Divine Power Academy.
It’s probably not because Yonghuang Shentong Academy has no shortage of Taoist masters. In fact, every Taoist academy is short of Taoist masters.
What they lack is not ordinary Taoist masters, but capable Taoist masters.
Also because of the shortage of Taoist masters, there is a fairy building in Yongzhou Fairy City to recruit teachers for Yonghuang Divine Power Academy.
Ding Huan came to the Immortal Master Recruiting Tower in Yongzhou Immortal City and found that there were a lot of people here.
It can be seen that many people want to try their luck.
Most people should be like Ding Huan, not looking for a job, but looking for opportunities for promotion.
Ding Huan waited in line at the back of the team for a full hour before paying 10,000 high-grade immortal crystals and obtaining a registration qualification and a small reference array card.
What he got was a jade slip for recruiting a disciple.
The jade slip process is very simple. Ten days later, you will take part in the first round of written examination at Yonghuang Divine Power Academy. After passing the written examination, you will take part in the second round of Taoist examination.
After passing the Taoist test, take a three-day break and take the legal test.
After passing the legal examination, there will be an interview.
If you pass the interview, you will become a probationary Taoist master of Yonghuang Shentong Academy. The probation period is one year, and if you fail in one year, you will be dismissed unconditionally.
One look at the process shows that this kind of recruitment of teachers is a regular occurrence, which also means that there are very few Taoist masters who meet the requirements.
The inns near Yonghuang Shentong Academy are crowded.
Ding Huan found an inn, Xiantu Inn, which was quite far away from the academy.
There are not many inns like this that are not named after the Yonghuang Divine Power Academy.
Although it is a small inn, the price is not cheap.
One night would cost 10,000 top-grade immortal crystals. If Ding Huan chose to stay for 20 days, that would cost 200,000 top-grade immortal crystals.
This is the inn that is far away from Yonghuang Shentong Academy. If it is closer, the price will be more expensive.
It can be seen how much economic benefits Yonghuang Divine Power Academy has brought to Yongzhou Immortal City. Many people, like Ding Huan, come here to stay for twenty days to take the assessment.
If you fail the assessment, you can only leave in disgrace.
The fact is, 99.99 percent of people will not pass the assessment.
After Ding Huan entered the inn, he had no intention of leaving.
In the resting inn, Ding Huan could feel that the aura of the tarsal bone-devouring poison on Zuo Shanyi's body was getting weaker and weaker.
At this moment, Ding Huan could only sigh in his heart. Without sufficient strength, he could only watch the dung beetle remove the poison.
After placing a ban on his room, Ding Huan simply studied the Three Thousand Great Daos.
What Tianlei Taoism lacked was only practice, and now he was ready to research new magical powers.
The first one is naturally Tiangang Taoism.
What Ding Huan found strange was that among the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Tiangang Taoist magic still existed, but the Disha magic had disappeared.
The Disha Illusion must be among the Three Thousand Great Avenues, and it must have been torn away by someone.
"Brother, I want to ask you something." Ding Huan's mind fell on Tiangang Taoism and he transmitted the message to Ji Luo.
"What's the matter?" Ji Luo is now counting on Ding Huan.
In this damn place, he didn't even dare to show up.
There are too many strong people here, and you will be discovered by them if you are not careful.
"I have practiced Tiangang Taoism before, but I feel that there are some problems with the Tiangang Taoism I practiced. Now I want to practice Tiangang Taoism again. Is there any problem?"
Ji Luo was an old hand, and he understood what Ding Huan said as soon as he heard it: "Could it be that you learned it from that remnant soul?"
It’s not that Ji Luo thought too much, but the Tiangang Taoism, a way of opening up the heavens, is simply impossible for ordinary people to access.
Ding Huan answered honestly: "Yes, later I found out that the Tiangang Taoism this guy gave me had a trap."
Ji Luo was silent for a long time and then said: "The Tiangang Dao arts that have been spread are all copies of the Three Thousand Great Daos. The first copy can be said to be a great magical power, but the multiple copies can only be called a small magical power.
The Tiangang Taoist magic that you have learned is not only a minor supernatural power, but also a minor supernatural power that has been tampered with by others. It can only be regarded as a fake supernatural power.
I suggest you unlearn everything you have learned and relearn it."
Forget? Ding Huan was stunned. How could he forget?
Ji Luo obviously couldn't come up with a good solution and could only remain silent.
After thinking about it for a whole day, Ding Huan had no choice but to give up practicing Tiangang Taoism.
When he memorized the Tiangang Taoist magic in the leather scroll, he was absolutely excited.
I didn't expect that I would become a burden to him now.
Alas, who can tell clearly between disaster and fortune?
Ding Huan searched among the Three Thousand Great Daos again, and soon his divine consciousness fell on a new great Dao magical power, the Great Heavenly Eye Technique.
He possesses the Eye of the Great Wilderness, and his Eye of the Great Wilderness can only be upgraded passively according to the upgrade of his own cultivation.
Isn't it a perfect time to practice the Great Divine Eye Technique now?
