3. Chapter 3: Eating and Waiting to Die?
Fang Lin sat lazily under the tree, half-squinting at the beautiful scenery in front of him, holding a fruit in his hand and nibbling on it, looking very comfortable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Fang Lin had already been in the house for a month, and he was basically familiar with the Zixia Sect.
The Zixia Sect is divided into two lineages, the Dan Sect and the Martial Sect, one is dedicated to cultivating Dan and the other is dedicated to martial arts.
Fang Lin was naturally a disciple of the Dan Sect, but he was not an official disciple, but a disciple of Dantong.
What is a Dantong disciple?
In fact, Danmai disciples who have just started have to start as Dantong disciples, and only after passing the promotion assessment can they become real Danmai disciples.
For five years Dantong disciples, there will be a promotion assessment every year, and if they fail to pass for five consecutive years, then they will be expelled from the Zixia Sect and sent to the various industries of the Zixia Sect.
Therefore, every Dantong disciple has five chances to be promoted.
If you pass the assessment, you can become a formal disciple, you can participate in the alchemist grade assessment, and you will be exposed to more resources and guidance from the sect.
Fang Lin has been in the house for a month, and he has hardly done anything serious except for lying down and basking in the sun every day.
Those who became Dantong's disciples on the same day as Fang Lin were all learning herbal knowledge in the Hundred Herb Garden, and it could be said that there was no day or night, but Fang Lin had never been there this month except for a round trip to the Hundred Herb Garden on the first day.
Fang Lin is such a maverick, and he also has some fame among the three thousand Dantong disciples, but basically they are ridiculed and disdainful, thinking that Fang Lin is lazy and lazy, without the slightest sense of self-motivation, and is destined to be sent out.
Fang Lin seemed to be leisurely, not caring about the eyes and opinions of others at all, walking around every day, often sleeping until three poles in the morning.
It's not that Fang Lin is lazy to eat, it's that he doesn't have the need to study at all.
With Fang Lin's alchemy attainments in his previous life, it was really not worth mentioning as a mere Dantong disciple.
As for the Hundred Herb Garden, after Fang Lin walked around that day, he had already recognized all the herbs in the garden, and there was no need to go a second time.
For Fang Lin, it was enough to honestly wait for the promotion assessment.
"Fang Lin, why are you sleeping here again?" The crisp girl's voice sounded, and I saw a girl dressed in the service of a simple Dantong disciple coming from behind.
This girl was also one of the few people who became Dantong's disciples with Fang Lin that day, named Lu Xiaoqing, and she was one of the few people who had a good relationship with Fang Lin among Dantong's disciples.
Lu Xiaoqing walked up to Fang Lin and looked at Fang Lin's lazy appearance, he was really angry, and he didn't have a good look on his face.
"Fang Lin, you are like this every day, you will definitely not be able to pass the assessment at that time, five years Dantong, are you going to eat like this and wait to die?" Lu Xiaoqing said bitterly, very dissatisfied with Fang Lin's current appearance.
Fang Lin looked at Lu Xiaoqing's anxious appearance, and felt very interesting, and said with a smile at the moment: "What's the hurry? Isn't this just a month old? ”
When Lu Xiaoqing heard this, he couldn't wait to pull Fang Lin up from the ground.
"Do you know how difficult it is to be promoted to the assessment? Many of those senior brothers and sisters have failed two or three times, don't you say five chances, you can't pass ten times!" Lu Xiaoqing said angrily.
Fang Lin stood up, patted the soil on his body, and said with a smile: "If Senior Sister Xiaoqing doesn't believe it, you will know it until the first assessment, but Senior Sister Xiaoqing, you have to work hard, don't become an official disciple by then, but you are still a disciple of Dantong." ”
Lu Xiaoqing's eyes widened, looking at Fang Lin with strange eyes, she didn't understand, where did this guy get his confidence?
Lu Xiaoqing was helpless, and he was a little disappointed in Fang Lin in his heart, even if you have some talent, but you are so lazy and don't even learn a little herbal knowledge, the ghost believes that you can pass the assessment.
"You can do it yourself, I don't care about you. Lu Xiaoqing stomped his feet and left angrily.
Fang Lin smiled, and was about to continue taking a nap when he suddenly saw Elder Meng Wuwu coming from not far away.
"Fang Lin, you are so decadent, I'm really sorry for your dead wood and spring physique!" Before the old man Meng Wuwu arrived, a sigh had already sounded.
Fang Lin was stunned, where was he decadent? He was so sunny and cheerful, he couldn't see the decadent appearance at all, right?
Meng Wuwu walked closer and looked at Fang Lin with a hint of guilt and helplessness on his face.
In Meng Wuwu's opinion, Fang Lin is like this now, and he is also responsible, after all, Fang Lin is a genius who has been excavated by himself, but he has been treated like this, no wonder Fang Lin is so disheartened.
That's right, in Meng Wuwu's opinion, Fang Lin's daily leisurely and free doing whatever he wants is a manifestation of frustration.
At the beginning, Meng Wuwu wanted to directly take Fang Lin to meet the first elder of the Dan Sect, hoping that the first seat could make an exception and let Fang Lin directly become an official disciple.
But the first elder did not agree, thinking that even if he was a talented person, he could not make an exception, since Fang Lin was talented, then starting from the Dantong disciple, he could also get more tempering.
Meng Wuwu persuaded again and again, but he still did not change this result, after all, Meng Wuwu was just an ordinary elder of the Danzong lineage, and his status was limited, and he couldn't change what the first elder decided.
Therefore, Meng Wuwu felt ashamed of Fang Lin, and felt that Fang Lin was resentful because of this matter, so he was so decadent.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Fang Lin didn't care about this kind of thing at all, and it was difficult for Meng Wuwu, a good old man, to feel ashamed of Fang Lin, and he was always uneasy this month.
Fang Lin said with a smile, "Why is Elder Meng so sad and sad?"
Meng Wuwu looked at Fang Lin's smile, and felt even more ashamed, this kid must be very depressed in his heart, and he had to pretend to be like this, it was embarrassing for him.
"Fang Lin, I know that you are dissatisfied in your heart, but I can't do anything about the first decision, you still have to temper hard, strive to pass the assessment as soon as possible, and become a formal disciple, don't slack off anymore. Meng Wuwu said earnestly, he didn't want a genius like Fang Lin to continue to sink.
Fang Lin smiled and said: "The elder has a heart, the juniors are not dissatisfied with anything in their hearts, nor are they slacking off, and the juniors have their own plans in their hearts when it comes to assessment." ”
Meng Wuwu sighed, and said with some anger: "The first elder is so jealous of the virtuous and jealous, when will my Danzong lineage be able to cheer up!"
Fang Lin was silent, he was not stupid, and he could naturally hear that there was deep dissatisfaction with the head of the Nadan Sect in Meng Wuwu's words.
"Elder Meng should be cautious. Fang Lin said with a smile.
Meng Wuwu glanced at Fang Lin, but he didn't stop, and continued to say with resentment: "The first one is narrow-minded, and he can't see other geniuses in my Dan Sect appearing, otherwise it will affect the status of his lineage, so shallow, no wonder the status of my Dan Sect is weakening day by day in the Zixia Sect!"
Fang Lin smiled slightly and said, "Elder Meng is so angry, don't be angry." ”
Meng Wuwu frowned, what's the matter with this kid? The person who should be most angry is you Fang Lin, why does this kid look heartless?
"Fang Lin, you are a rare body of dead wood in spring, the identity of this Dantong disciple has really wronged you, but the rules of Danzong are too strict, if you can't pass the promotion assessment within five years, even if it is the body of dead wood in spring, you will inevitably decentralize the fate, you have to grasp it well, don't continue like this." Meng Wuwu patiently persuaded him, he was very optimistic about Fang Lin's future, so he didn't want a genius like Fang Lin to fall so much.
When Fang Lin saw Meng Wuwu's solemn face, he also put away his laughter.
"Elder Meng, please rest assured, I will definitely pass the first assessment. Fang Lin said, with absolute confidence in his tone.
Meng Wuwu looked at Fang Lin in surprise, just like Lu Xiaoqing's thoughts just now, where did this kid get his confidence? Even this can no longer be called self-confidence, but arrogance.
Promoted from a Dantong disciple to a formal disciple, this is not a simple matter of eating and drinking, it is quite difficult, among the three thousand Dantong disciples today, most of them have failed the exam twice, and a considerable number of them have passed the exam three times.
It is not for nothing that he has failed the exam four times in a row, and in the records of the Zixia Sect in the past hundred years, the genius who was promoted the fastest also took the exam twice.
Fang Lin said that he could be promoted once, this kind of thing sounded extremely arrogant and ridiculous no matter who it sounded like.
Meng Wuwu was about to seriously criticize Fang Lin and ask him not to be so arrogant, but he heard a dull bell ringing throughout the Danzong lineage.
When Fang Lin heard this bell, there was a bit of helplessness on his face, and Meng Wuwu said: "The Dantan lecture has begun, you can go quickly!"
The Danzong lineage has two Dantan lectures every month, once in the middle of the month and once at the end of the month, and it is opened by three thousand Dantong disciples.
Every time Dantan teaches, all Dantong disciples must be present, if anyone dares to miss class, they will be severely punished, and if they are absent three times in a row, they will be directly expelled from the Zixia Sect.
Fang Lin went there once in the middle of the month, but he fell asleep during the lecture and was ridiculed by many people.
For Fang Lin, that kind of course was simply meaningless.
But the Dan Sect has strict rules, and if Fang Lin doesn't go, the consequences will be serious.
Fang Lin's face was bitter, he looked at Meng Wuwu pitifully, and pleaded, "Elder, can the disciple not go?"
Meng Wuwu glared, and said angrily: "No! Dantan is indispensable for teaching, if you kid dare not go, I will personally carry you over!"
"Just go. Fang Lin pursed his lips, and could only reluctantly go towards the place where Dantan was teaching.
Meng Wuwu looked at Fang Lin's back and couldn't wait to slap it, but thinking of the unfair treatment Fang Lin suffered, he could only sigh.
Many Dantong disciples were all heading towards the Dan Altar, when Fang Lin arrived, there were many people sitting on the huge Dan Altar, the Dan Tong disciples had already arrived, Fang Lin was late.
