Lin Feng had already expected that someone would come to his sect to play undercover. However, Xuanmen Tianzong had only truly become famous and attracted the attention of the world since the opening ceremony in the Sand Continent. Now, with the recent Desolate Sea Assembly, his momentum had grown.
Someone had already mixed in the first disciple recruitment. Although there was only one person, some people were really quite hardworking.
However, to Lin Feng, the other party had not withdrawn from his original sect and had come to seek a master. Because of the system, he could see through it at a glance.
Although Lin Feng could not accept him as a personal disciple, this person could become a disciple of Xiao Yan and the others. Lin Feng was also happy to keep him on the mountain. Perhaps he would be of great use in the future and obtain some unexpected gains.
What really made Lin Feng more vigilant was that if someone was first kicked out of his own sect and then ordered to come and hide, it would not be easy to find out.
However, such a person would definitely not be able to cultivate the Dao techniques of his original sect, nor would he be able to obtain any benefits from his original sect. His loyalty would have to face a great test, and it was very likely that he would turn against Xuanmen Tianzong.
After all, people were after benefits. If there was a sect that treated you well and had a bright future, why would you still be loyal to your original sect?
Lin Feng deeply believed that as long as he wielded the hoe well, there was no wall that could not be dug down …
Of course, the party that sent this person to infiltrate would definitely have many ways to control him. However, to Lin Feng, there was a lot more room for him to maneuver, and it was not impossible to deal with him.
"Actually, it's still fine now. The next time we open the mountain gate to recruit disciples, it will be the time to mix in the sand on a large scale." Lin Feng looked at a certain person among the second generation disciples and smiled. "Little friend, I wonder which sect sent you?"
"It's okay if I don't know now. I have all the time in the world to find out your background."
Lin Feng took a step out of the void, and he was already on a branch of the Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree. He did not emit any power, but the people sitting on the tree felt as if they were looking up at the endless starry sky.
Xiao Yan and the other direct disciples bowed first: "Disciple respectfully greets teacher."
Only then did the group of youths return to their senses. Together with the group of children, they bowed to Lin Feng. "Disciples welcome the arrival of the Ancestral Master!"
"No need for formalities." Lin Feng's expression was calm as his purple robe fluttered in the wind. It was as if his entire being had become one with the Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree. He sat down on a branch of the tree and began his first sermon.
Lin Feng did not choose to explain Daoist techniques that were too profound or abstruse. Instead, he extracted a small section from Zhu Yi's Notes to the Eight Trigrams Daoist Canon of Yi.
At the same time, Lin Feng didn't explain the Dao to the disciples word by word. He casually picked out a section of the ancient book just to make it convenient for everyone to understand.
Lin Feng's lecture this time was mainly to teach everyone the correct method and route to comprehend and cultivate Dao Arts, and to point out a clear general direction for them.
As for how to understand it specifically, it would depend on each person's own comprehension.
This was also how Lin Feng taught Xiao Yan and the other direct disciples before. However, these second generation disciples' comprehension and talent couldn't be compared to Xiao Yan and the others. Therefore, Lin Feng couldn't help but explain in more detail.
But overall, Lin Feng's teaching philosophy was that it was better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
Fish was the goal, and fishing was the method. A fish could satisfy a temporary hunger, but it couldn't satisfy a long-term hunger. If one wanted to have fish to eat forever, then they had to learn how to fish.
This was the core of Lin Feng's sermon this time. After finishing his sermon, Lin Feng allowed everyone to ask him questions. Then, he answered the doubts they had in their daily cultivation process. It could be a general confusion, or it could be a difficult problem in the specific process of cultivating Dao Arts.
This was originally a privilege that only Xiao Yan and the other direct disciples had. Today, a group of second generation disciples finally got this opportunity, so they naturally had to grasp it well.
In response to the questions raised by everyone, Lin Feng patiently answered them one by one. Even the questions raised by Xiao Huan and the other children were no exception.
When these young people heard it, they all felt enlightened. However, they only thought about the problem in a straight line. Xiao Yan and the other five direct disciples who were listening by the side were all immersed in deep thought. They gained a lot by drawing analogies.
When Lin Feng answered a question, when Xiao Yan and the others heard it, their thinking often diverged and extended to other more things.
After this sermon, the ones who really gained the most were actually Xiao Yan and the others.
Zhu Yi sighed softly and used his mana to transmit his voice to the other five senior and junior brothers. "After listening to Master's sermon today, I finally feel that I really misled the disciples previously."
Xiao Yan and the others looked at each other and laughed bitterly. Xiao Yan frowned. "Later on, we still have to take in disciples. I originally thought that it wouldn't be difficult, but now it seems that I'm really panicking."
Xiao Budian, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing all nodded their heads. Wang Lin frowned. "This means that we still need to work harder."
Lin Feng didn't know that his sermon had actually struck the confidence of a few direct disciples who wanted to take in disciples.
In all fairness, in this sermon, he himself also gained some benefits. Just like what he said to Xiao Yan, Xiao Budian and the others before, if he wanted to impart Dao Arts to others, then he had to first thoroughly understand Dao Arts.
The process of teaching disciples was also a master's own understanding of Dao Arts.
And teaching these youngsters who are still only at the Qi Disciple stage is different from teaching Xiao Yan and the rest of the six. These youngsters whose cultivation is still low will often ask some inexplicable and seemingly whimsical questions.
Answering these questions required Lin Feng to understand his own Dao Arts like the back of his hand. Moreover, occasionally, he would also gain some inspiration because of these strange and wonderful thoughts. Some were useful, some were useless, but there were also some gains.
Just like an ignorant child, sometimes an innocent sentence could give inspiration to an adult.
Ten thousand Dao Arts return to truth, the Great Dao is the simplest, many principles are actually common.
When this sermon ended, everyone was silent and lowered their heads in contemplation. Silently pondered over every sentence and every word that Lin Feng had said before.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt the aftertaste. The higher the cultivation of the listener, the more they could comprehend the true meaning and gain more. At the same time, they felt that the current Lin Feng was like the sky and the sea, vast and boundless, unfathomable.
Lin Feng looked at the crowd in front of him calmly and smiled. He did not rush them, but waited patiently.
After a long time, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Xiao Budian stood up first. They did not say a word, but they all bowed to Lin Feng.
After a while, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing's eyes became clear again. They stood up together and bowed to Lin Feng.
Later, the second generation disciples and the disciples of the mountain gate stood up one after another, and their faces were full of joy as they bowed to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to dispense with the formalities. When the last person recovered from his contemplation, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Today, other than the sermon, I also want to test you all."
He looked at Zhu Yi and nodded with a smile.
Zhu Yi bowed, then turned to the crowd and said in a clear voice, "Today, all the disciples who can pass the ancestor's test will be qualified to be promoted. We six brothers will accept you as inner disciples, and you will receive our teachings."
"In addition, you will be qualified to enter the Scripture Depository, and there will be other rewards."
Zhu Yi looked at the slightly restless crowd. Seeing that they could still maintain order and calm, he could not help but nod in satisfaction and said, "Those who did not pass the test do not need to be discouraged. In the future, I will still teach you Dao techniques every once in a while, and in the future, you will still have the opportunity to be promoted to inner disciples. You only need to practice seriously."
He said to Xiao Huan and the other disciples, "If you want to be apprenticed to a master, you can also participate in the ancestor's test. If you can pass, you will also have the opportunity to become inner disciples. Even if you can't pass, if you perform well, you can also become official disciples. It's all up to you."
Xiao Huan and the others were still children. Although they had learned some Qi cultivation methods under the guidance of Kang Nanhua, Zhu Yi, and Yue Hongyan, most of them were absent-minded. Only a few of them had expressions of eagerness on their faces.
"I have a question." At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly asked, "Even if you pass the test, can you only become the inner disciples of the elders? If you perform well, can you become the ancestor's personal disciple? "
Everyone revealed an expression of surprise and looked at the person who spoke. It was a dark skinny youth with an arrogant and unruly expression. It was Irozha.
Xiao Budian and the others looked at each other and smiled. Xiao Yan said, "I like this troublemaker."
Zhu Yi glanced at Irozha and did not say anything. He turned to look at Lin Feng. Lin Feng calmly said, "If he is outstanding enough, why not?"
Irozha nodded his head in satisfaction. His eyes shone with excitement.
What caught Lin Feng's attention was that, in addition to Irozha, Xu Yunsheng and Li Xingfei's eyes also flashed. Liu Xiafeng, who was always lazy and didn't care about anything, also became serious.
Geniuses were always very confident in themselves. Especially when they saw that Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing, who had joined the sect with them, were high up in the air and might even become their masters. This filled these young geniuses with fighting spirit.
Lin Feng faintly smiled and lightly flicked his finger. A strand of purple gas condensed in midair and transformed into a huge purple palace. The palace was next to the branches of the Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree and the entrance was directly facing everyone.
"My test is very simple. Right now, there is a maze in front of you. The inside of the maze is connected in all directions, and there are many forks in the road. However, there is only one entrance and exit." Lin Feng lightly said, "I'll give you one day. Those who can walk out of the maze will pass the test."
Looking at the huge purple palace in front of them, the group of youths were a bit stunned. They never thought that Lin Feng's test would be so childish.
Even Xiao Yan and the others were a bit surprised, but after they carefully sensed the purple labyrinth, their faces all revealed a look of sudden understanding. Xiao Yan and the little guy even began to laugh mischievously, somewhat taking pleasure in other people's misfortune.
Yang Qing sighed and kindly reminded everyone, "Keep your spirits up. There are many things to test in this maze. If you are even the slightest bit careless, let alone one day, you might not even be able to walk out of it for a lifetime."
