"Ren Daoquan!" Zhan Chen silently recited these three words and asked Liu Xuan, "Does this Elder Ren have anything extraordinary?"

Liu Xuan said with a smile: "I heard just now that you know the mysteries of time, then I think this person is the best choice, because I heard that he has mastered the mysteries of time, and he has also cultivated to the realm of the third layer of the earth, and I heard that he is not only proficient in the mysteries of time but also proficient in the mysteries of yin and yang, you can tell me, isn't this a good teacher prepared by God for you?"

Zhan Chen stroked his palms and laughed: "It's great to have such a good teacher!" He was really happy, after he left the Qin Xiao faction, the mystery of time has not been improved, and now I heard that in addition to Huangfu Ying, there are people who have comprehended the mystery of time, as well as the mystery of yin and yang that he has always valued, how can he not be happy?

"However, don't be too happy, I heard that Ren Daoquan has a perverse personality, does not like to interact with people, and often acts as a 'hands-off shopkeeper', and there are only hundreds of disciples under him, and none of them can please him, so worshipping under his door is both an opportunity and a challenge. ”

"What about Ren Daoquan's cultivation?"

"He has the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Ming Dharma, what's wrong?"

At this time, a question arose in Zhan Chen, and asked, "Senior Brother Liu, I don't know something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You said that you need to have the cultivation of the Enlightenment Realm to ascend to the Inner Sect, then the question is, since these elders have such a high cultivation, why don't they just stay in the Inner Sect, I heard that there are better development prospects there. ”

Liu Xuan smiled slightly and replied, "They want to too, but they can't do it." ”

"Why?"

"The reason is very simple, because the promotion to the inner door cultivation is limited to the initial level of the Ming Law, that is, only those who have cultivated to the initial level of the Ming Law are eligible to participate in the entry qualification challenge, and once the cultivation reaches the middle level of the Ming Law or above, then you can only apply to be an elder of the outer sect. ”

"Why do you want to do this? Isn't the higher the cultivation, the stronger it is?"

"Zhan Chen, things are not as simple as you imagined, what the cultivation of talents in the sect looks at is the qualification potential, and what you want is the best talent, those who failed to dominate the outer sect at the beginning of the Ming Law will also be at the bottom of the inner sect after they arrive in the inner sect, what is the use of such a person?"

"But nothing is absolute. ”

"The reason is such a reason, but the rules are set by people, the Humanist Sect is such a rule, what can be done, like Ren Daoquan is an example, he later increased his strength greatly, but it didn't help, he had missed the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect forever. ”

"So that's the case, it seems that if I want to ascend to the inner sect, I can only get the first or second disciple of the outer sect. Zhan Chen muttered.

"Yes, fortunately, there is one time in this qualification exam every hundred years, and you can't get on this time, and the next time you raise your cultivation to the realm again, maybe you can get on. ”

They chatted casually about some topics again, which made Zhan Chen know a lot about the Outer Sect, and then Liu Xuan left, while Zhan Chen took the letter and went to find Ren Daoquan.

After some inquiry, he finally came to Ren Daoquan's residence - Panlong Residence, which is a small manor, with more than 30 buildings, several gardens, and dozens of acres of spiritual fields, and in the Humanist Sect, there are more than 3,000 mansions like this, and everyone who becomes an elder can enjoy it.

Zhan Chen was stopped by two guards at the door, and they asked, "This junior brother, you look quite raw." ”

Zhan Chen saluted them and said, "Two senior brothers, I'm here to apprentice. So saying, he handed them the letter.

The two took the letter and looked through it, and asked, "Your name is Zhan Chen, right?"

"yes. ”

They looked at each other and exclaimed, "Great, we finally have a new junior brother!"

Zhan Chen was surprised by their attitude and asked, "What's the matter?"

The two of them glanced at each other and whispered, "You don't know, our Master Ren is notoriously perverse, and most of them can't last long under him, and they have all defected to other elders." ”

Zhan Chen asked humorously, "Why did the two senior brothers stay?"

The two of them immediately sighed and said, "Isn't it that our qualifications are mediocre and there is no better place to go?"

Zhan Chen didn't want to continue to delve into this issue, anyway, no matter what others said, Ren Daoquan had already become the only choice in his heart, so he asked, "Two senior brothers, I wonder if I can go in?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go and report to you first. ”

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "I'm so tired of Senior Brother." ”

So one of them turned around and entered the door, and after a while, he came back and said to Zhan Chen: "Senior Brother Zhan, the master has passed you in, let's go, I'll lead the way for you." ”

"Thank you. Zhan Chen arched his hand, and then entered the courtyard with the man.

Crossing the avenue, they came to a large hall in the middle, Zhan Chen raised his head to see that there was a plaque hanging on the lintel of the main hall, on which were written "Panlong Palace" three big characters.

Taking a deep breath, he walked into the main hall, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the bench in the middle, with a burly figure, a face like a knife, a bright eye, and a resolute temperament at first glance, and he was Zhan Chen's future teacher-Ren Daoquan.

Seeing him, the senior brother arched his hand and said, "Master, I have already brought the person." ”

Ren Daoquan nodded and said slowly: "Meng Houde, you can retreat." ”

"Yes!" Meng Houde agreed, and then withdrew from the main hall.

At this time, only Ren Daoquan and Zhan Chen were left in the room, Zhan Chen stepped forward and saluted, and said loudly: "Disciple Zhan Chen pays a visit to Elder Ren!"

Ren Daoquan nodded slightly, and said: "Very good, your voice is very loud, I saw Wu Chen's comments, so I became a little interested in you, you must know that guy has always been picky, and he said that good people basically didn't miss it." But from today onwards, you won't call me an elder, but a teacher, understand?"

"It's a teacher, I will definitely work hard. ”

"I haven't given you any guidance yet, it's fate that you can choose me, to be honest, I'm particularly resistant to accepting apprentices, but there are regulations in the outer sect, each elder must accept a certain number of apprentices, which can be regarded as a hard apportionment, so I reluctantly accepted some apprentices, but I want to explain to you in advance, if it is not a manufacturable material, I will not get any guidance here." ”

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "I see." ”

"Well, that's all for today's conversation, I will start preaching on the fifteenth day of every month, and during this time, because I am openly recruiting disciples, I can get guidance every month, and if this time passes, I believe it will be difficult for you to find me. ”

"On the fifteenth day of every month, I will definitely come to listen to the lecture, but how long will your sermon last?"

"Ranging from three to five years. Ren Daoquan paused, and then said: "You can also write your residence to me, if there is anything urgent, I will send someone to inform you." ”

"Yes!" Zhan Chen wrote down his address and handed it to Ren Daoquan.

Ren Daoquan put the address away and said, "Zhan Chen, you can step down." ”

"Yes!" Zhan Chen turned around and left the main hall. This first meeting ended hastily, and from this he fully realized what Liu Xuan had said to him, in the outer gate of the Humanist Sect, the relationship between master and apprentice was very weak, if you want to get the true inheritance of these enlightened ancestors, then you have to attract the attention of Ren Daoquan.

"The next time Ren Daoquan opens the altar to preach, it is a great opportunity, and I can take advantage of it. Zhan Chen thought silently.
