Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Mo Juren took Xiao Ya around the city and learned a lot of information, including the so-called "Valley of Confusion".

The situation is not very good, and most of the results are bad. No one who enters it has ever survived, and no one knows the reason.

The only good thing is that, according to records, the highest level cultivator who entered and got into trouble was only in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, not to mention the Body Refiners, no one dared to get close.

This also means that the Soul-Bewildering Valley may only be effective for cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage or below, and may not be a problem for cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage.

Of course, this is just speculation. It is still uncertain whether the strong people in the realm of refining emptiness will be affected if they enter it.

Mo Juren was somewhat helpless about this. Perhaps only beings of a higher level could truly know the situation in the valley, and the people he asked obviously could not reach such a level.

As for higher-level beings, it is really difficult for him to contact them at the moment.

In addition, the two of them also kept a close eye on the situation at Lingyue Academy.

It was soon to recruit new disciples, so naturally preparations had already begun. A large number of people gathered almost every day at the entrance of the academy and on the entire street where it was located.

Mo Juren and Xiao Ya also went there several times and found out a lot of information.

For example, the recruitment of disciples this time actually alarmed an important figure in Lingyue Sect. It was said that a powerful person in the Lianxu realm came in person to take charge.

Moreover, Lingyue Academy also solemnly declared that the number of disciples to be recruited this time will be slightly increased compared to the past.

Upon hearing this news, all the parents who wanted to send their children to Lingyue Academy were excited.

Behind Lingyue Academy is the Lingyue Sect. Although it is not as good as the top ten sects, it is not much worse. After all, the sect master is a genuine powerful master in the fusion realm.

Moreover, the Lingyue Academy in Yunhua City is somewhat different from the Ziyun Pavilion. It is a branch directly under the Lingyue Sect. As long as the disciples of the academy are good enough, they can directly transfer to the main sect to practice.

This gave almost all the academy's disciples a shortcut to success.

Therefore, countless people want to join the academy. However, because the qualifications required are too high and top-level Confucian and Taoist talents are required, naturally many people are stopped.

Since there will be an "expansion" this time, it goes without saying that the admission conditions will be slightly relaxed.

This is naturally great news for all parents.

……

Early in the morning of that day, Mo Juren took Xiao Ya away from Huayang Tower and then walked slowly along the wide street.

Although it was still early, there were already quite a few pedestrians on the street. Especially since today happened to be the day when Lingyue Academy was recruiting disciples, the number of people going to the academy was even greater than usual.

Huayang Tower and Lingyue Academy are on the same street, so they are not far apart. Mo Juren and Xiao Ya walked slowly from the start and reached their destination in only about a quarter of an hour.

At this moment, Mo Juren couldn't help but be shocked by the huge crowds of people in front of him.

What comes into view is a wide square, which is already densely packed with no less than thousands of people. In addition to the children who want to enroll in the academy, there are also their parents and so on.

Behind the square is a magnificent building complex, which is the Lingyue Academy. It covers a large area, and to one side of the academy entrance stands a green stone tablet about ten feet high.

The stone tablet may look ordinary, but it is the famous Holy Spirit Tablet of Lingyue Academy. As long as the body touches it, it will immediately show whether one has the talent and level of Confucianism and Taoism.

At this time, in front of the stone tablet, many academy disciples wearing the same clothes were maintaining order.

But at this moment, a white light flashed, and an old man dressed in Confucian clothes and holding a purple ruler in his hand instantly appeared at the door.

The old man's cultivation was only at the late Nascent Soul stage, but he was obviously a top-level existence in Yunhua City. He caused quite a stir as soon as he appeared.

"It's actually Principal Chen. He came out in person!"

"Not only is Chen Shanzhang highly skilled in cultivation, his talent in Confucianism and Taoism is also top-notch. Almost everyone in Yunhua City knows him. However, he usually keeps a low profile, like a dragon that is hard to find. How could he show up in public today..."

"The academy has mobilized so many people this time, and even has a great figure in the Void Refining Realm. As the dean, it is not surprising that Senior Chen personally came out..."

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Mo Juren couldn't help but become interested in the old man. He turned out to be the principal of Lingyue Academy. He had heard of his great name for a long time.

Through what we have learned over the past few days, we have learned that Lingyue Academy has hundreds of branches throughout the Xuanwu Realm, and the Yunhua City branch is only ranked in the middle, and is much worse in terms of both scale and overall strength.

It is rumored that the headmaster of the Xuanwu City headquarters has reached the level of Refining Void Realm.

After the old man stood still, he looked around the square carefully, then turned to look at a disciple from the academy next to him and nodded slightly.

The latter immediately understood, stepped forward, and began to explain the rules:

"This time, our academy is recruiting disciples with Confucian and Taoist talents as the top priority, and there are no requirements for spiritual roots. However, disciples without spiritual roots can only stay in the academy in the future and cannot enter the main sect for training..."

"There are nine grades of Confucian and Taoist talents. The top grade is the best and can be kept directly. The middle grade requires further assessment and can also be kept after passing. As for the lower grade, or even those who cannot reach the grade, they will have no chance to join our academy. I hope everyone will be mentally prepared..."

"In addition, there is an age limit, no more than twelve years old, this is no different from previous sessions..."

"All children, line up and touch the Holy Spirit Monument one after another. Your talents will be revealed directly then..."

"..."

As the academy disciple finished speaking, the square became lively again.

It is understandable that Confucian and Taoist talents are the most important, and it has been the same in the past, but spiritual roots are not a requirement, which is definitely great news.

Sure enough, all the previous speculations were true. Lingyue Academy did lower its admission requirements, and it was a significant reduction. Some parents who were originally worried about their children's spiritual roots were completely relieved at this moment.

Some spectators even left quickly, wanting to bring their own children without spiritual roots with them. In case the children had outstanding talents in Confucianism and Taoism, wouldn't they be able to enroll in Lingyue Academy?

After hearing these requests, Mo Juren was a little surprised, and he was even guessing the intention of Lingyue Academy.

There is definitely a reason for suddenly changing the recruitment rules and massively expanding the number of disciples. There must be some purpose, but I don't know whether this purpose is good or bad?
At this time, all the children had obeyed the instructions of the academy disciples and began to line up in several long lines.

Seeing this, Mo Juren looked directly at Xiaoya, who hesitated slightly, but soon made up her mind and walked straight to the end of the team. At the entrance of the academy, the old man glanced at the team again, and waved his wide sleeves. In an instant, a beam of spiritual light shot out and hit the Holy Spirit Monument in front of him.

The spiritual light sank directly into it, and the stone tablet changed accordingly. The tablet body trembled, and then a faint green light burst out from the surface.

"The Holy Spirit Monument has been activated, let's start the test..." The old man gave a direct order, and the academy disciples in front immediately began to get busy, calling on children to come forward and press their hands on the stone tablet.

"Low-quality, ninth grade, not allowed..."

"Lower middle grade, eighth grade, not recorded..."

"Low-quality, ninth grade, not allowed..."

"Middle and lower grade, sixth level, stay for now..."

"..."

When children come forward and touch the stone tablet, different colored lights will appear directly on it, representing their respective Confucian and Taoist qualifications.

From the results of successive tests, we can learn that most of them are not very good. Among so many children present, there are only a few who truly possess mid-to-high-level Confucian and Taoist talents.

The many children and parents who failed to be selected were naturally frustrated, but the old man in Confucian robes and the disciples of the academy seemed to have expected this and their expressions did not change much.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Upper and lower grades, third class..." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

The old man in Confucian robes was naturally no exception. He looked at a thin boy under the Holy Spirit Monument and immediately showed a look of surprise.

Upper and lower grades are already excellent qualifications. If the spiritual roots are also good, there will definitely be achievements in Confucianism and Taoism in the future.

However, what he didn't expect was that the academy disciple's next words directly made his original joy disappear in an instant.

"You...you don't have any spiritual roots!" After checking, the disciple from the academy's face suddenly changed. Somewhat unwillingly, he checked again, but got the same result.

The academy disciple suddenly became depressed, and then turned to look at the old man in Confucian robes.

"Little kid, come forward." The expression of the old man in Confucian robes did not change much. He waved to the boy in a gentle tone, which made the latter, who was originally uneasy, feel slightly relieved.

He walked slowly closer, clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully.

"Don't be afraid. With your qualifications, you can still become a disciple of the academy even without spiritual roots." The old man in Confucian robes smiled and comforted him. Then he directly grasped the other's wrist and began to examine it carefully.

The result did not change, the other party indeed had no spiritual roots.

The old man in Confucian robes secretly thought it was a pity, that having no spiritual roots meant that he could not practice cultivation, and his lifespan alone meant that he would not go far in the future.

Of course, this does not mean that the other party is useless. With such top-level Confucian and Taoist qualifications, even if he can only be a mortal, he can still make a difference in the academy.

"Okay, bring him in." Putting his thoughts aside, the old man in Confucian robes directly instructed one of the academy disciples.

"Yes, Dean." The disciple did not hesitate. After paying his respects, he walked straight into the gate with the thin boy. This also meant that the other party had been admitted.

The whole process was naturally seen by everyone present. The unsuccessful ones were naturally envious, and although the children who met the requirements tried their best to restrain themselves, there was still a flash of disdain in their eyes.

The test continued, and children came forward one after another.

The situation has returned to the same state as before, with most of them being at the inferior stage, so they naturally do not meet the requirements.

After testing more than hundreds of people, only about twenty people were left. And except for the thin boy with superior qualifications, the others either had middle-grade qualifications and were temporarily retained and needed further testing, or they had no spiritual roots like the boy, but had good Confucian and Taoist talents.

You have to know that this is even though Lingyue Academy has relaxed its admission requirements, but the low pass rate is still shocking.

Faced with such a result, the old man in Confucian robes and other academy disciples were not surprised. After all, how could it be so easy to enter a top sect like Lingyue Sect?

This is because the conditions for recruiting disciples have been relaxed this time. In the past, the number would have been even lower.

It was finally Xiao Ya's turn. She slowly walked to the front of the stone tablet, turned her head to look at Mo Juren again, then raised her little hand and gently pressed towards the stone tablet.

"Buzz..." The Holy Spirit Monument suddenly trembled slightly, and a dazzling golden light burst out from its surface. Then, a melodious bell sound rang out from inside the academy at the back.

"The bell of the holy temple is ringing, it's of the best quality!" The old man in Confucian robes exclaimed, and was about to step forward to check, but at this moment, a black light came in an instant and appeared directly in front of the little girl.

The light quickly faded, revealing a mysterious woman in a black palace dress, a cloak on her head, and a veil covering her face, so her features could not be seen clearly, but her unique and independent temperament instantly made the originally noisy square quiet.

The moment he saw the woman, the old man in Confucian robes immediately gave up the idea of ​​going forward to investigate, and then he bowed respectfully to the other party. The other disciples of the academy were no exception.

This scene naturally caught everyone's attention. Combined with the information they had received previously, everyone gradually guessed the identity of this person.

It must be the big shot who came from Lingyue Sect to take charge, the legendary powerful person in the Lianxu realm.

Mo Juren also narrowed his eyes slightly. He really didn't expect that the little girl's talent in Confucianism and Taoism was so high. Now it was impossible for him to keep a low profile.

This is of course a good thing, which means that Confucianism and Taoism are the most suitable choices for Xiao Ya.

I had made a plan before. If the little girl's talent in Confucianism and Taoism is high enough and she can receive special training from Lingyue Sect, then I will keep her forever.

Now it seems that it is a done deal.

"Huh!" The woman in the blue skirt looked at the little girl with sharp eyes. She soon found something wrong, and at the same time she was slightly surprised.

She did not say anything, but gave a wink to the old man in Confucian robes, then waved her arm. Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and she and the little girl disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Mo Juren's expression suddenly changed slightly, but he reacted quickly.

Sure enough, before he could take the initiative to ask, the old man in Confucian robes immediately sounded in his mind:

"Brother, don't worry. Your daughter is too talented, so Elder Xuanqing is naturally impatient and brought her directly to the Holy Hall for retesting. They are in the academy right now, so you can go in directly."

Hearing this, Mo Juren did not hesitate and immediately walked to the main gate as fast as he could. After nodding slightly to the old man, he walked in without hesitation and disappeared in the blink of an eye. (End of this chapter)
