Chapter 1038: Selection of Outer Disciples
During the banquet, Wu Lai asked, "Sect Master Yan, in addition to your Ascension Ceremony, is there any other activity that your Sect will hold?" Of course, Wu Lai found something to ask.
Yan Tu said with a smile: "The city lord is really as wise as a torch. You are very coincidental, this month is the time for our sect to select outer disciples once a year, and when the selection of outer disciples is over, the time for me to ascend will also come. ”
Hearing Yan Tu say this, Wu Lai suddenly became interested. Wu Lai wanted to establish the Wuji Sect, and he didn't have any experience in the management of the sect, so he naturally wanted to learn from the experience and practices of other large sects. The management experience of these sects that have been inherited for many years is still very desirable, otherwise it would not be possible to continue to this day. Wu Lai wants to take its essence and remove its dross, and formulate a complete management system for Wuji Sect. He even had the crazy idea of going incognito into a large sect to investigate their management model.
It turned out that the Vientiane Sect had to select outer disciples to enter the sect every year to inject fresh blood into the Vientiane Sect. Like the Tianxin Sect, the Vientiane Sect is also a sect that has been inherited for many years, and it has its own set of strict management models. The fact that this model has continued to this day for millions of years shows that there is something to be desired.
The personnel of the Vientiane Sect are divided into decision-making levels, personal disciples, true disciples, inner disciples and outer disciples, as well as some miscellaneous and servants who manage the medicine fields. The decision-making level, naturally including the sect master, deputy sect master, elder elders, etc., is the supreme leader of the Vientiane Sect. Basically, to become an elder, you have to at least reach the beginning of distraction. The strength of the disciples is above the Yuan Infant Stage, and if they break through the late Yuan Infant Stage and reach the early stage of distraction, they can become elders. True disciples, cultivation needs to reach the Jindan stage or above, break through the late Jindan stage, and achieve the Yuan Infant, you can become a personal disciple, become a personal disciple, and your status in the sect is very high. True disciples and personal disciples are the backbone of the sect and the hope for the future of the sect. Inner disciples, cultivation must reach the foundation building period, that is to say, if the foundation is successfully built, you can become an inner disciple. The outer disciples are the most ordinary disciples of the Vientiane Sect, but these disciples need to be assessed and selected. Once these outer disciples have successfully established their foundations, they can become inner disciples.
As the eleventhth ranked great sect in the cultivation realm, the Vientiane Sect naturally will not lack a source of life. Every year, a steady stream of disciples are sent to the Vientiane Sect. In Vientiane Sect, even if you are an outer disciple, you have a unique face. If you are lucky, you can build a successful foundation and become an inner disciple, maybe you will be able to further glimpse the supreme avenue in order to live forever. In the cultivation realm, the creed of the supremacy of strength and the respect of the strong is reflected everywhere. Only those at the lowest level can deeply understand the difficulties of cultivation. Only by entering the great sect can it be possible to ascend to the sky in one step. Because the big sects will provide a lot of resources for their disciples, such as pills, spars, magic weapons and good exercises, then it will be twice the result with half the effort. Many casual cultivators, due to lack of resources, do not have high attainments.
For the selection of outer disciples, the Vientiane Sect naturally has a rigorous process.
According to Yan Tu, in the cultivation world, there is actually a set of the most basic formulas, called "Qi Induction Technique", which is the most common and basic exercise, and basically everyone knows it. Cultivating the Qi Induction Technique can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of cultivating the truth. But only when the foundation is successfully built can one be regarded as a true cultivator. Before the foundation is built, there is another stage, called the Qi refining period. If you cultivate the Qi Induction Technique, the Qi Refining Period can be divided into ten levels. Anyone who cultivates to the sixth level or above of Qi Refining will be able to participate in the assessment of the outer disciples of the Vientiane Sect. Of course, the selection of the outer disciples of the Vientiane Sect recruited young people. Before the age of twenty, one must reach the sixth level of qi refining, otherwise he is not qualified to participate in the selection of outer disciples. Because young people have strong blood and energy, they have more hope of building a successful foundation, but when they are a little older, their qi and blood begin to fail, and even if they reach the tenth level of qi refining, it is difficult to build a successful foundation. The Vientiane Sect will not take in disciples who have no potential, and the purpose of the sect's existence is to continue to grow and develop, not to charity halls. Therefore, before the assessment, the bone age will be measured. If you are not qualified, you will be brushed off directly.
Every year, there are more than 100,000 people who come to Vientiane Sect to participate in the selection of outer disciples, and it is vast and lively. Although it is only the assessment of the outer disciples, it is related to the future of the Vientiane Sect, so the assessment is very strict, and even the sect master and the elders are extremely concerned. It is not allowed that among the disciples who participated in the assessment, there were geniuses. Geniuses are valued, they can be hired directly, they can even become inner disciples directly, and they may also be accepted as disciples by the sect master or elders, and they will ascend to heaven in one step.
For the assessment of outer disciples, in addition to the cultivation of the Qi refining period, it is also necessary to assess the qualifications, root bones, heart nature, etc., which is a comprehensive consideration. Cultivation is not the most important thing, after all, masters have also cultivated low, and to have a strong cultivation, you still need to work hard the day after tomorrow. The Vientiane Sect attaches great importance to qualifications and roots, which are the first criteria they measure. Of course, cultivation is also a watershed. However, for those with particularly outstanding qualifications, this item can be appropriately relaxed. In addition, the heart is also a very important part of the assessment. The road of immortality is long, it is the road against the sky, it is the road of no return, it is not the clouds are light and the wind is light, it is not the crane riding freely, and without courage and perseverance, how can we reach a higher realm and truly achieve immortality? Therefore, in terms of the study of the heart, the Vientiane Sect will never be less.
Another important point is loyalty. There are elders who specialize in polygraphs, who are responsible for checking whether they are undercover agents sent by hostile forces. Infernal affairs are often staged, and this is also a link that Vientiane Sect attaches great importance to. After all, after so many years of inheritance, there are not many enemies of the Vientiane Sect, and if you are not careful, it will have a huge impact on the Vientiane Sect, even if it does not destroy the sect, it may cause great damage to the vitality of the sect.
There are a lot of people who participate in the assessment, but very few are really selected, and they only accept hundreds a year, which can be said to be one in a thousand.
After listening to Yan Tu's narration, Wu Lai realized how difficult it was to establish a sect. There's a lot to do, there's a lot to think about. He sighed in his heart: It seems that the establishment of the Wuji Sect is a heavy task and a long way to go! It is not enough to have a spar, but also to have a set of advanced management models. But now we can only take one step at a time and slowly grope for it.
In addition, Yan Tu also told Wu Lai that in addition to selecting outer disciples, the Vientiane Sect also holds a competition among the inner disciples every three years, and the top ten will be rewarded richly, and they will also enjoy better resources, which will help them form a golden pill faster and become true disciples. And this ranking is called the Vientiane World List.
It just so happened that this year was the day of the start of the Vientiane Heaven and Earth List, so it was selected together with the outer disciples.
