However, Wang Lu was quite open-minded. After all, he was a King Pill. If he was placed in the nearby Gentle Cloud Mountain or White Dragon Temple, Daoist Master King Pill could definitely become an elder with real power. As for those who entered the Carefree Peak at the same time as him, those who entered the Misty Peak at the same time were taught by more senior disciples on their behalf. Wang Zhong, Zhu Qin, and the others who entered the Misty Peak at the name of Master was Second Elder Liu Xian. However, Liu Xian had to lead thirty-seven Inner Court disciples, so the efficiency could be imagined. Usually, the ones who mainly taught and taught were those senior black and white disciples, who were not even as good as this Gold Core Elder in front of him.
After the two sides finished their self-introduction, Master said.
"According to the rules, now I should take you to do a super troublesome apprenticeship ceremony, probably something like kowtowing and swearing … Are you interested?"
With sincerity and novelty, Wang Lu said, "No."
"Well, I also don't have one, so let's skip this step and go directly to the next one."
Wang Lu was curious. "The next one?"
Master nodded seriously. "Yes, it's time to eat. Let's go eat."
"… Isn't your change of direction a bit too sudden!?"
"Don't worry, at least I'll treat you today."
"The implication is that tomorrow I'll have to rely on myself!?"
"Haha, our Non-Phase Peak is rich in natural resources. There are pheasants, wild ducks, hares, and wild boars in the mountain. You won't starve to death."
"Are you practicing the Savage Heart Sutra!?"
—
Along the way, his master, along with her new disciple, left Non-Phase Peak on her flying sword and flew unsteadily toward the Carefree Peak.
This was also a helpless thing. His master claimed to have King Pill's cultivation base and had not eaten for many years, so she didn't have a kitchen or cooking skills. Unless Wang Lu was willing to eat the wild boars and hares that she hunted, he could only go to the Carefree Peak for a meal.
Wang Lu didn't know if the grand Elder King Pill would feel hot after coming to an outer sect disciple's cultivation area for a free meal. But when Wang Lu stepped down from the flying sword and faced the countless people pointing at him, he did feel a bit embarrassed.
"Look, that seems to be the newcomer recruited for this Great Immortal Ascension Assembly!"
"Hey, weren't all the rookies taken away by Ninth Elder? Who was this? Could he be an inner disciple? "
"Oh, I know about this. I heard that a peerless genius had appeared in this Immortal Gathering, and he was directly promoted to a True Disciple! The woman who brought him here seems to be his master and also an elder of the sect. "
"Holy sh * t, an elder and a true disciple?! What is such a high and mighty person doing here? "
"Who knows? Maybe it's to experience the people's livelihood, or maybe it's some strange cultivation? … Eh, they seem to have gone to the back of the arena. "
"Isn't that the cafeteria behind the training field?"
"Look, look, they really entered the cafeteria!"
"They even ordered a dish!?"
"A plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes, a plate of Double Cooked Pork, and two bowls of rice … What's the profound meaning of this!?"
"Look, they started to eat! They're using chopsticks! "
"He picked up a piece of fish-flavored shredded pork! He removed all the shredded carrots! What a unique way to eat! I'll write it down for the time being! "
"Oh, the elder also moved her chopsticks. She ate the Double Cooked Pork! What's the profound meaning of this!? "
"They've finished eating! The plate is so clean! There are only shredded carrots left! "
"They flew away! Their figures are so cool! "
The atmosphere of the audience was generally like this, full of joy and surprise. As the focus of attention, Wang Lu felt as if he was being watched by countless people, and the feeling … was actually quite cool!?
Looking at his master who was also calm and collected, Wang Lu finally began to recognize this woman in white from the bottom of his heart. Because of this shamelessness, they indeed had the fate of master and disciple.
After the free meal at the Carefree Peak's cafeteria, it was already night time when he returned to the Non-Phase Peak's hut. Wang Lu, who was born in the wilderness, had never experienced the rich nightlife since he was a child, so he quickly became sleepy.
But before he fell asleep, his master pulled him back.
"Wait a minute, let's do a small test before going to bed."
"What the hell, there's a night study in the Spirit Sword Mountain!?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, it'll be done soon. I want to better tailor a cultivation plan for you. After all, I need to have a more detailed understanding of you. It's not enough to just rely on your performance on the Immortal Path. "
Wang Lu thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. "Please give me the test."
"Okay." Then, his master took out a thick stack of paper from an unknown place. On the paper, there were densely written words and drawings.
"This is my carefully designed test. There are two parts, one is a comprehensive ability test, and the other is a personality test. It can accurately and comprehensively estimate your Immortal Cultivation potential … Please complete the test within one hour. The countdown starts now."
When Wang Lu bent down in front of the table and began to read the test paper, he was immediately startled. "What the hell, what the hell is this!?"
The first question of the comprehensive ability test. "The truth of the Great Way is indescribable. The ethereal Immortal Path that we pursue is even more indescribable." The cultivators in the past, including many Daoist Masters, Patriarchs, and Great Immortal Cultivators, all said so. Their tone was seventy percent _ _ and thirty percent _ _. However, then again, if it couldn't be accurately described in words, how could the method of Immortal Cultivation be passed on? How could it be carried forward?
Fill in the underlined part in turn, and the most appropriate one was:
A。 Proud regret
B。 Helpless sadness
C。 Sentimental complaint
D。 Proud regret
… What the f * ck is this!? This question is definitely familiar, right? There must be some kind of resentful spirit causing mischief!? Before he met that comet, he had been tormented by that broken thing for a long time. He didn't expect that in the Nine Regions, where the Immortal Path was flourishing, he still couldn't get rid of it!?
Or could it be that this world has been occupied by some preemptive predecessors?
"Master, this question … How did you come up with it?"
"Hey, what's wrong? What's wrong with this question? Nowadays, almost everyone in the Immortal Cultivation World does it like this. I just made a little innovation. "
"Almost everyone does it like this!? When I studied the Four Books and Five Classics from the teacher, it was not like this. "
"Alas, you have already finished the Immortal Path and become a disciple of an Immortal Cultivation Sect. Don't entangle yourself in the knowledge of the mortal world that is thousands of years behind. The Immortal Cultivation World has its own rules, which are completely different from the mortal world. The templates of these two sets of questions were gradually formed after hundreds and thousands of years of exploration. Just do it with ease. "
Hearing the hundreds and thousands of years of exploration, Wang Lu felt a bit relieved. It seemed that the strangeness of the Immortal Cultivation World was not caused by some strange people, but rather … a problem with the system?
After calming down, Wang Lu turned his attention back to the test questions. This familiar routine had awakened his long-dormant instincts. Not long after, he entered a state where he forgot about himself and his surroundings. His pen moved as if it was flying, easily solving all the tricky and strange questions, causing his master, who was observing from the side, to click his tongue in amazement.
After a while, as Wang Lu finished more than half of the comprehensive ability test questions, the face of the woman in white was filled with awe.
Wang Lu's speed and accuracy in solving the questions were too high. Especially towards the end, those graphic reasoning questions and numerical calculation questions were solved as smoothly as floating clouds and flowing water. This had already far exceeded the limits of a normal person. Even if he had received guidance from a famous teacher in the mountain village and was proficient in the meaning of the classics and poetry, that knowledge was completely useless in this set of questions. Moreover, he did not have any cultivation and his soul was weak. He definitely did not have the ability of a brilliant cultivator to have a mind as fast as lightning and a photographic memory.
"Ah, so it is true that he was born with knowledge? No wonder he is the Child of Destiny with the Void Spirit Root. I really did not misjudge him. "
The more the woman in white looked, the more delighted she became. Originally, Wang Lu's Void Spirit Root was indeed a difficult problem, but if this child had such intelligence and talent, then it would be much easier to solve.
"That's enough. This is enough."
After saying that, the woman in white pressed her palm on the paper, interrupting Wang Lu's enthusiastic swimming in the sea of questions.
Wang Lu raised his head and frowned, as if someone had interrupted his fun, and his heart was filled with dissatisfaction.
"I have already fully understood your situation, so there is no need to waste any more time. Your aptitude is not bad, and you can truly inherit my mantle."
Wang Lu said, "I really don't want to inherit your mantle, Little King Pill … but who asked my Void Spirit Root to be in the way? King Pill it is, King Pill it is, I can make do with it."
Since they were talking about cultivation, the woman in white's expression became especially serious. She sat cross-legged in front of Wang Lu and asked in a deep voice, "Wang Lu, in your opinion, what is the purpose of cultivation?"
Several answers suddenly popped up in Wang Lu's mind, but he did not know which one to choose.
Considering the special nature of this Fifth Elder, Wang Lu asked tentatively, "For the sake of being arrogant and cool?"
In the end, the Master slapped the table and stood up. "Soulmate!"
After being stunned for a while, he corrected himself. "Oh, no, don't talk nonsense. How could it be for such a vulgar purpose?! Think about it carefully! "
Thus, Wang Lu guessed again. "For the sake of ascending to the Immortal World?"
"Alas, that is to say, after the Age of Chaos, there has not been a precedent of successful ascension. So many talented people did not succeed, how do you expect those trash with third or fourth-grade spiritual roots to survive? Aren't they destined to do useless work? Then what are they still cultivating for? "
"Then … for longevity?"
"At present, the oldest immortal in the Immortal World is the South Pole Immortal Weng of Kunlun Immortal Mountain. He is 359 years old and nicknamed Turtle. Although he has a long life, his main purpose is to be exhibited and studied by others. Do you really think that's cool?"
"… Master, just tell me the answer."
However, the woman in white spread out her hands. "Actually, I don't have an accurate answer. There are thousands of cultivators, and the path of cultivation is also innumerable. Even the Great Dao has more than 3,000. Different people embark on different paths, of course, they will have different purposes. How can I summarize it in one sentence? "
"Then just now, were you lying about the number of words?"
"No, what I want to say is, no matter what your purpose of cultivation is, if you want to achieve it, there must be a basic condition."
"Being handsome?"
"…" The woman in white sneered.
"Master, just say it, I won't make trouble."
"Oh, if you want to go on the path of cultivation for a long time and reach the end of your ideal, the most important thing is that you must be hard enough!"
"Wow, Master, you're so bad, saying this kind of inappropriate topic in front of a twelve-year-old boy."
"… When I say hard enough, I mean your life is hard enough, your cultivation is hard enough, and you can withstand layer upon layer of tribulations! Just in the process of cultivation, the heavenly tribulations of several stages are enough to make a small half of the cultivators turn into ashes. In addition, there is the omnipresent human tribulation, which is even more difficult to guard against. Don't look at the Wanxian League, which claims to unify the Nine Regions Immortal Cultivation World. In recent years, the crime rate in the Immortal Cultivation World has been high! Not to mention those evil sects and devil sects, even among the cultivators of the orthodox sects, there are many filthy people. Backstabbing is a common occurrence! "
Looking at his Master's indignant face, Wang Lu nodded very hard. "Yes, I can see that."
"In short, the most important thing in cultivation is to be hard enough. A lot of people advocate strong attack power or peerless speed … But all of them are evil. If you can't keep your life, no matter how fancy it is, it's all just a fleeting cloud. "
"What Master said makes sense."
Wang Lu really agreed with his Master's words. Especially considering this person's temperament and behavior, if he didn't practice good life-saving skills, it would be bad.
"Good, you're indeed worthy of being my favorite disciple. You've already understood the first truth of the Immortal Cultivation World. Today, you should go rest. Starting tomorrow, I will officially teach you how to cultivate. "
