"Immortals are mighty."
Old Merchant and the others stiffened and became even more respectful.
A few years ago, a subsidiary sect of the Hundred Prosperity Sect had come to their town to recruit disciples. Their children had poor aptitude and lost the chance to become an immortal's disciple. Now, naturally …
What they wanted was a small matter to Xu Zhi, but to mortals, food, oil, and salt were already important things in life, let alone immortal fate that would affect their family for generations.
Old Merchant and the other merchants looked at each other and said, "Immortal, although our children's aptitude is mediocre, we hope to come into contact with immortal fate. We are willing to provide you with all kinds of rare herbs and treasures."
They treated Xu Zhi as an itinerant cultivator.
It was not as orthodox as some sects, but it was their only choice.
Moreover, according to what they knew, some sects would have connections with some local merchants to purchase some resources. There were even some hidden sects that controlled a local dynasty.
Disciple?
Xu Zhi froze for a moment. He hadn't really accepted a disciple yet.
"Disciple recruitment depends on fate. If the aptitude is not bad …" Xu Zhi did not refuse directly.
Old Merchant and the others stiffened. If the aptitude was good, they would have been accepted long ago.
Xu Zhi sat on the chair and did not look at them. He only looked at the town below and said, "Aptitude does not refer to the body, but to wisdom, a certain aspect of wisdom, a special talent … There's no need to say more. If you want to enter my sect to cultivate, you have to pass the outer sect assessment."
"May I ask what the assessment is …" a youth beside Old Merchant said hurriedly.
Xu Zhi stretched out his hand.
He grabbed a bottle in the room, and a colorful transparent bead flew out of it.
Whoosh.
The bead suddenly exploded, turning into a colorful firework that spread in all directions.
"What is this?"
"I've seen it before. Are they fireworks that only the Imperial City and Great Merchant City have? I heard they're made with gunpowder! "
"So beautiful!"
"How are these fireworks? They're Daoist spells, the spells of immortals! I've seen an immortal recruiting disciples before. A fireball of similar size bloomed in his hand, and a rock half the height of a person exploded. It's extremely powerful! If it hits a person, it'll be terrible! "
Some of the people in the caravan gasped in admiration.
"Just do it this way. When you can control it and make it bloom like this, you'll have crossed the threshold." Xu Zhi isolated his aura, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it. He continued to say to them, "It's not just you guys. You guys can also go to the town below and announce that there is a Celestial Sect recruiting disciples for a month."
"I don't look at lifespan, cultivation, gender, or status …"
The merchants were slightly startled. Did that mean that even people like them, who had missed the age to cultivate, could do it?
They were a little excited, so they didn't continue the business trip and quickly nodded and returned.
In less than three days, the news had spread throughout the cities below. Even the neighboring cities had attracted many merchants, rich people, and scholars.
Immortal fate. Everyone yearned for it.
Within a few days, the town was bustling with activity. There were many white-haired old men, and even some beggars. There were also some low-level cultivators who came out of curiosity.
These cultivators were obviously from the sect who had come down from the mountain to gain experience. They were led by a few young boys and girls.
"Hmph, it's obviously a scam. It's fine if they don't look at one's aptitude. Some Demon Sects don't care about aptitude, but they can even accept old men?"
"I'm afraid it's a scam."
A few cultivators were mixed in the crowd.
Xu Zhi ignored them and opened a space entrance. "Go in. There are virtual evolutions and some simple learning materials inside. A thousand people will enter in batches. You can only queue up."
Some mortals were even more shocked when they saw this method. They queued up and entered in an orderly manner.
The few cultivators were also shocked. They retracted their contempt and hostility. Those who had spatial treasures were definitely mighty figures who lived in seclusion.
Xu Zhi didn't mind. He just thought to himself,
"I didn't give them the process, only the result. It's enough for them to evolve the Bloodline Universe … With a computer, they don't need to think about the calculations involved. They only need intelligence to be able to think … but with the intelligence of mortals, isn't it a little too much to ask?"
After all, it was not a lie to say that old people were shrewd.
Intelligence, ability, and talent were hard conditions that wouldn't improve with time.
That was why some mediocre powerhouses remained mediocre even after hundreds or thousands of years.
But the intelligence of powerhouses would increase.
Because intelligence was a mixture of experience, knowledge, and experience.
Moreover, the higher the realm of powerhouses, the faster their brains worked. They could think of hundreds of questions in a second. It seemed like they had become smarter … That was the reason why they were much smarter than mortals.
No matter how high the intelligence of mortals was, no matter how monstrous they were, they couldn't win against mediocre powerhouses with average intelligence but tens of thousands of thoughts in a second.
"This is a very contradictory problem. But it's also because powerhouses are limited by their realm when they cultivate … That's why I'm using mortals like this. Mortals' intelligence and monstrous level might not be low." Xu Zhi murmured, "Just like the spore evolution sandbox. I don't need powerhouses. I use players who haven't even cultivated before. That's why there are so many surprises because they aren't limited by the framework."
"Right now, I hope to evolve spores. It's the same principle as evolving the universe … Maybe I can try to cultivate a batch of mortals who specialize in the evolution of spores." Xu Zhi was just doing it on a whim. He wouldn't lose anything even if he failed. After all, he was letting them evolve in virtual reality.
The real World Pearl couldn't be wasted on these mortals.
In any case, he felt that compared to those powerhouses who had formed a fixed mind, perhaps the mortals who were blank could produce more interesting things.
This was equivalent to crossing all realms of cultivation and directly studying the essence of things.
They didn't even know what terrifying thing they were creating. They just explored and completed the task according to the requirements.
Swoosh.
At this time, only ten seconds had passed, and a group of mortals came out.
"It's only been ten seconds. How did they come out?"
Some people were talking about it.
But the people inside were very surprised and said, "It's been a month! We found it very boring and couldn't learn it, so we came out. But there are people inside studying it. "
"Ten seconds, a month? Is it a matter of time? "
This kind of magical method is more and more exciting. This is an immortal who can control time!
Even those mortals who had already gone out secretly regretted it. If they knew it was so powerful, they would have tried it again.
Suddenly, several cultivators next to them were also very jealous. They couldn't help but come in front of Xu Zhi and asked cautiously, "May I ask senior, can we?"
"You are also mortals, you can line up and try it." Xu Zhi said.
We are also mortals?
We are obviously powerful cultivators at the Spirit Condensation Stage.
They were stunned for a moment, but they didn't dare to refute, and respectfully lined up at the back.
Xu Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to them. In his eyes, mortals are no different from cultivators like them. They don't even understand the rules. What are they if not ignorant mortals?
Since they are mortals who don't even know the universe, they are naturally treated the same.
"I hope this is an opportunity to find something useful that can solve the problem in my heart." Xu Zhi sat down on the chair and started to relax. To him, this was just a small relaxation after his exhaustion from the experiments.
