Fang Yan didn't want to dwell on this issue, but said: "Don't have your surname Yan, probably you look too ordinary, which makes Brother Guo have such an illusion."

Looking at the appearance of the elder brother, it seems that he has a great friendship with the cyclamen, I wonder if he can solve his doubts, what will be the content of this Taoist conference later?"

"I'm sorry, it's not that I'm going to be in the next place, but what the cyclamen says changes every year, and it's hard to say in the next place.

However, Brother Yan will definitely be able to pass the preliminary round. ”

Guo Mingjie said with a grin.

"Then it's a good word for my brother. ”

Fang Yan hugged his fists, but he thought about it differently in his heart.

Fang Yan had already used a few hundred merit points to buy information from the sect about Taoyang County, as well as the Cyclamen Dao Conference and some Hailing Secret Realm, but it wasn't a blind existence, so he didn't care too much about it.

After that, Fang Yan and Guo Mingjie chatted with each other, but they also gained something.

Half an hour later, no one had come in, and all the eligible monks must have arrived, when an old man with a crane hair and a childish face suddenly appeared in the center of the futon.

Fang Yan looked intently, and found that he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, knowing that the other party must still be on the foundation.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Fang Yan always felt that after the old Tao's gaze roamed around the field for a while, he finally paused a little in his direction and then moved away.

"Fellow Daoists, you can call the old man Shen Lao, a total of 7,813 Daoists participated in this Cyclamen Discussion Conference......

After Shen Lao counted out the number of people who participated in the conference, and thanked the monks who came to participate, he said: "The theme of this year's conference is about the views of all Taoist friends on the existence of teaching, and of course, there are also some common problems in the Tao......

Fang Yan, like everyone else, didn't interject and say more.

Because Fang Yan already knew that the so-called conference on the Tao was not a conference for everyone to debate.

Instead, after Shen Lao gave a question and expressed his opinion, he would hand out a page similar to the test paper.

There are 10 questions on it, which are answered by the monks who participate in the conference, write their opinions on a piece of paper, and after a stick of incense, they are taken away by a special person, and after the cyclamen comes to watch, they choose some and pass the primary election.

Sure enough, after that, a slave handed down a test paper, and Fang Yan, like everyone else, silently took the pen and paper and began to write.

None of the people in the room looked at the test papers of others, because if they did, they would be judged to be cheating and would be disqualified from the Cyclamen Seminar.

Fang Yan saw the title on the topic: Do you think that if you want to cultivate to the upper realm, you should choose the sentient path or the ruthless path?

After thinking about it, Fang Yan wrote down his answer.

Then, there is another question: Do you agree that there is no class in teaching?

......

After Fang Yan wrote his opinion on it, he examined it carefully and handed it in, while the other monks also handed in the papers.

After that, after Fang Yan and Guo Mingjie said goodbye, they returned to the suite, waiting for the cyclamen to announce the list of monks who had been promoted for the first time.

Three days later, the gate of the cyclamen was once again crowded, and at noon the gate finally opened, after which two samurai came out carrying a black gold dough covered with a red cloth.

After that, the samurai lifted the red cloth, and some people were about to gather around to check it, but when they saw the two samurai read the numbers on it, they did not come forward.

"Three Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-Three ......"

Although Fang Yan had already passed with great certainty, now that he had seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he was still quietly relieved,

I can't help but think of the information I got from the merit card, and there was no fixed answer to the questions of the Cyclamen Discussion Conference, such as the Affectionate Dao and the Ruthless Dao.

Someone once made a comparison, no matter which path you choose, as long as you write your true views and opinions from the heart, you can pass the first test.

However, this is not something difficult to understand, because since the birth of the monk, there has been a lot of debate about this concept, and even the high-ranking monks cannot say for sure which path is the best, let alone the low-ranking monks like Fang Yan.

Fang Yan felt that maybe this preliminary competition was just a cover, and the cyclamen actually had another set of criteria for selecting people, but it was just a secret.

Standing in front of the gate of the cyclamen, Fang Yan counted a total of one hundred and seventeen people who had passed the preliminary round of the Cyclamen Discussion Conference.

After that, Fang Yan took a token and a small token from the cyclamen, returned to the rented suite, and waited.

Three days later.

Fang Yan and the 117 people who passed the preliminary round arrived at the cyclamen on time, and then they were taken into a side hall by the cyclamen.

Among these people, one-third of them were demon cultivators, Fang Yan's eyes flashed, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Guo Mingjie was also among them, and he saw Fang Yan at a glance, so he came over.

"Brother Yan!"

After Fang Yan responded with a sentence or two from time to time, after a while, Shen Lao appeared here again.

After Shen Lao's gaze wandered among the more than 100 people for a while, he opened his mouth to ask a few people some questions.

And after those few people answered, Shen Lao shook his head and announced that they were out.

Although the people who were announced out were very unwilling, due to the power of the cyclamen, they had to pinch their noses and admit it, and left the cyclamen.

After that, Shen Lao pointed out some more people, who were also eliminated from the game, and there were only eighty-one people left on the field.

After Shen Lao nodded, he asked Shen Mingyue, who was standing on the side, to step forward and release something for everyone.

After Fang Yan took it, he found that it was an off-white palm-sized conch, with streamers flickering on it from time to time, exuding the power of Xuanqi.

Then, Shen Lao said: "Everyone, in two days, please use the conch in your hand to gather at the cyclamen, and the old man will take everyone to the ......."

Elder Shen asked everyone to gather the cyclamen three days later, and they went to the forest blessed by the Hailing Fairy, and at that time, the Hailing Secret Realm would be opened somewhere in that forest.

After Fang Yan and the others bowed down, they dispersed one after another, and Fang Yan walked on the streets of Taoyang County, and couldn't help but think.

It seems that the mechanism of selecting cyclamen is really different.

Fang Yan noticed for a moment, the cultivation of today's one hundred and seventeen people was high and low, and those monks who were pointed out by Shen Lao as having lost their qualifications to participate in the secret realm all had one thing in common, that is, their Dao quality was not very high.

And the quality of the eighty-one people left behind is above the top three grades, although there are still a lot of demon cultivators mixed in them.

Most of these eighty-one people are cultivators in the spiritual cultivation period, and the highest is the monks in the Great Perfection realm of the Ning Yuan period, and sure enough, the monks above the foundation building period will not be selected.

And Guo Mingjie was actually selected, which shows that Guo Mingjie's qualifications are not as bad as Fang Yan sees, and his Dao quality is at least above the top three grades.
