Xiuxian: I studied abroad in modern times

Chapter 452 Education Reform, Qianjin City Bone

On the university island, most of the disciples looked at Zheng Fa with excitement.

Some people still feel a little dizzy.

When they heard about the establishment of a new college and the mentor system, they were confused but very excited.

They all seem to be saying:
Restructuring?

The reform is good.

They were very happy to hear about the recent reform!

Zheng Fa continued:
"The Jiushan Military Academy will have four academies: the Immortal Formation Academy, the Sword Dao Academy, the Thunder Law Academy, and the Intelligence Academy."

"Jiushan University also has four colleges." Zheng Fa introduced, "Alchemy College, Equipment Refining College, Formation College, and in addition, there is also an Agricultural College."

This professional split adheres to one principle:
Knowledge that can directly contribute to production belongs to Jiushan University.

As for the subject of Immortal Array Sword Art, although it is closely related to the weapon refining array, it is more targeted and was incorporated into the military academy by him.

The names of these academies were simple and direct, and one could tell what they were for as soon as they were heard. Many disciples showed a look of realization on their faces.

Zheng Fa said again:

"The Jiushan school system will also change. In the future, Jiushan disciples will have five years after entering university."

"During these five years, the sect will provide some training resources for you to learn skills, spells, and various basic knowledge."

“After completing five years of study and passing the college exams and interviews, you can apply to enter various colleges.”

The three thousand disciples on the island listened quietly, their faces extremely serious.

It seems that they understand that these words are related to their future life choices.

Zheng Fa's idea is very simple:
The first five years after entering Jiushan University are used to lay the foundation for these disciples, which is similar to general education.

At this time, they had just begun to practice, and their basic knowledge was not solid. It was not realistic for them to learn very professional and advanced knowledge, let alone conduct research.

Therefore, Zheng Fa gave them five years to learn talismans, cultivation, and various prerequisite subjects - such as topology, physical chemistry, and Xiao Yuying's miscellaneous knowledge such as archeology.

With the "Talisman Foundation Building Method" and the abundant resource supply of Jiushan Sect, five years is enough for most disciples to build their foundation.

After building the foundation, whether he was sent out to perform various tasks or conduct various research, his cultivation level was barely up to standard.

"Enter the various colleges and you will become an inner disciple of my Jiushan Sect in the future."

"If you fail to enter the academy, you will be an outer disciple."

The faces of these disciples changed immediately, and they were obviously a little nervous.

Then Zheng Fa explained: "Inner disciples and outer disciples do not represent power and status, and it can even be said that there is no difference between high and low. But inner disciples will enjoy the sect's subsidies and can concentrate on study and research."

"Outer sect disciples need to gain merit by making contributions to the sect. Of course, if you are knowledgeable and pass the academy exam in the future, you can also enter the inner sect."

After this reform, the various colleges became a bit like modern graduate schools.

Will focus on training professionals and researchers.

It has a relatively high threshold.

"If you have talent in refining weapons, alchemy, or formations, you can apply for the four colleges of Jiushan University. If you make rapid progress in your cultivation, are good at fighting, or have experience in thunder magic and swordsmanship, you can try the military academy."

Jiushan University accommodates research talents.

The people admitted by military academies tend to be relatively traditional and mysterious geniuses.

In the future, Jiushan University will be a cradle for training various researchers.

Those who graduate from military academies are professional soldiers, or even professional officers.

After hearing this, many disciples could no longer laugh, and instead began to worry about gains and losses.

They looked around, secretly sizing up their fellow disciples.

Especially some disciples who showed talent in alchemy and refining equipment, which made them envious and fearful.

An evil atmosphere called involution has quietly descended upon the university island.

"By the way, the first inner sect entrance exam will be held in a month. From now on, the inner sect exam will be held every five years."

The disciples of Jiushan, who were already very nervous, felt as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer after hearing these words.

Many people showed despair on their faces:

It's like the teacher walks into the classroom early in the morning and tells you that there will be a monthly exam today, and you feel despair because you haven't reviewed at all.

Their happiness was gone, and Zheng Fa was satisfied:
laugh?
As the head of the sect, I am also working as a temporary worker in the Chongxuan Sect, and I am very busy every day.

Would it be appropriate for these disciples to just lie down?
The main purpose of this professional division is to make these disciples nervous:
Studying and researching are actually against human nature.

For many people it is a chore.

However, the external situation is so complicated now, and the Nine Mountains Realm is not qualified for happy education.

A less important reason is that scientific research requires high investment, and it costs a lot to train a qualified researcher:
Not to mention other things, just the various experiments in alchemy and refining require a lot of spiritual materials.

Without experiments, we will never be able to train qualified alchemists and weapon refiners.

Therefore, when cultivating research talents, it is impossible to have a big pot and egalitarianism, but it is necessary to set up thresholds.

After all, not everyone is suited to research.

Some disciples, who have received general education and have not entered the university system, can still contribute to the Nine Mountains Realm through various tasks, while accumulating good deeds to provide for their own practice.

In the past few years, most of the Jiushan disciples had just started learning the basics, so this kind of professional diversion and screening was meaningless.

The current academic system reform is almost a natural outcome and can meet the current talent needs of Jiushan Sect.

……

"Master, what is the mentor system?"

Sun Daoyu suddenly asked, with some guesswork and a hint of expectation on his face.

"After you enter the various colleges and become an inner disciple, you will have a mentor to guide your studies and research."

The disciples below the stage all raised their heads and stared at the Nascent Soul Transformation Real People on the stage.

Three thousand pairs of eyes are like six thousand searchlights, bright and hot.

The air on the island seemed to be hot.

No one is stupid. The purpose of the leader bringing these Nascent Soul True Immortals with him is very clear.

They are the mentors in universities and military academies!

Entering the inner gate, isn't that equivalent to being accepted as a disciple by a Yuanying Zhenren?

Who wouldn’t be moved after hearing this?
Having an extra mentor is like having a strong backer.

If a Nascent Soul or even a Spiritual Transformation Realm can give you personal guidance, the benefits of this will be enormous.

Sun Daoyu was surprised and asked, "After entering the inner sect, do we have to have a mentor?"

Zheng Fa smiled and said, "If you pass the exam and the interview, you can get it."

These disciples became more and more agitated.

The leader's words were automatically translated in their minds into:
Study hard, pass the exam to become an inner sect master, bring honor to your family, no, have more ancestors!

Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded: "Then, Master, are you also a mentor?"

Zheng Fa looked at the person who was speaking. Who else could it be but Mu Qingyan?

Mu Qingyan looked at Zheng Fa, her eyes full of anticipation.

Zheng Fa chuckled and said, "I am."

Mu Qingyan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She nodded vigorously and asked, "What is the interview?"

It can be seen that this girl is very confident.

Zheng Fa glanced at the other disciples and saw that they were also full of curiosity. He explained, "The interview mainly depends on your academic ability and communication skills. The military academy will assess your ability to fight. Oh, by the way, if you have published good papers in the discussion, it will be a plus for the interview."

On the Road?

The disciples had not yet received the new Tongjian, so naturally they did not understand. However, Zheng Fa did not explain it at this moment, but continued:

"Regarding the academies and exams, there will be another announcement in the Jiushan Forum with detailed explanations. Now I will announce the list of tutors for each academy."

"Jiushan Military Academy, the principal is Zhang Wuyi. At the same time, he is awarded the title of Grand Elder."

Because of the Nine Chapters of Summons, Senior Sister Zhang had more free time in the future and simply took on the position of principal of the military academy.

The principal of a military academy holds a high position of power and has heavy responsibilities.

Apart from Zheng Fa, only Senior Sister Zhang is more suitable.

"The dean of the Xianzhen Academy is Pang Tai Shang, the tutor of the Xianzhen Academy is Huang Tai Shang, the dean of the Leifa Academy is Xiao Yuying, and I am also a tutor of the Leifa Academy. The dean of the Kendo Academy is Xie Qingxue, and the dean of the Intelligence Academy is Han Zhenren." Zheng Fa read out the names of five people in one breath.

Senior Sister Zhang and the other six took half a step forward.

There was a faint light in Zheng Fa's hand, and a bamboo slip appeared between his fingers.

He walked up to Senior Sister Zhang and said solemnly, "Please accept the letter of appointment."

Senior Sister Zhang stretched out her hands, took the bamboo slips, and bowed silently.

Zheng Fa took out five more bamboo tubes and handed them to Xiao Yuying and the other four. Then he said to them:

"The future safety of the Nine Mountains disciples is in your hands."

Senior Sister Zhang and the others glanced at the disciples below the stage and nodded at the same time, saying, "We must do our best."

Zheng Fa then said to Xiao Yuying and the other two, "Fairy Xiao, Fairy Xie, and Master Han, are you willing to be guest elders of our Jiushan Sect?"

Xie Qingxue and the other two were already prepared, and nodded at the same time: "That's what I wish for!"

Sun Daoyu looked at Xie Qingxue and nodded, feeling overjoyed.

really!

He couldn't help asking about the tutor just now because he guessed that Xie Qingxue was also a tutor!
Xie Qingxue is the famous first true disciple of the Tianhe Sect. Her strength surpasses that of ordinary gods and her depth is unfathomable.

Xiao Yuying and Master Han are not unknown people in the Xuanwei Realm.

These three people have not only joined the Jiushan Sect now, but they are also going to be mentors and accept students!

Even a blind man can see that the Jiushan Sect is on the rise.

As he thought about it, he suddenly began to feel troubled:
Do military academies accept changes of instructors?

If it is possible, can his master Master Pang... also accept it?

He wasn't thinking about Fairy Xie's strength, he just wanted to be a swordsman since he was a kid! Zheng Fa looked at the disciples below the stage and saw that many people were staring at Xie Qingxue. He had expected this:
The reputation of Venerable Tianhe.

Xie Qingxue's strength.

Plus the swordsman himself is strong and handsome.

In fact, the Sword Cultivation Academy should be the most popular major in the military academy now.

He could imagine how popular the Sword Cultivation Academy's postgraduate entrance examination scores would be in the future.

This is also what Zheng Fa is happy to see:

The "Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method" is in my home. Who is the most authentic sword-fighting inheritance in the Xuanwei Realm? Is there any need to say it?
In his plan, immortal formations and sword cultivation will be the two trump cards of Jiushan Military Academy.

……

"Here are the instructors from Jiushan University."

"I will be the principal myself."

This is also the reason why he only teaches thunder magic and does not serve as the principal of a military academy - with the help of the modern world, he can give full play to his greatest advantages in Jiushan University.

He is really not familiar with the fighting and killing work in military academy.

"Master Xiong, the dean of Dandao Academy, and Master Song, our mentor."

"Mrs. Xuanhua, the dean of the Equipment Refining Academy."

"Zhang Wuyi, the dean of the Formation Academy."

Zheng Fa paused, and then announced the final candidate for the tutor of the College of Agriculture:
"Instructor of the Agricultural College, the ancestor of the Blood River, Jiao Wuji."

Many disciples in the audience were shocked and looked at the two big demons in confusion.

Only a few disciples knew that in the past few years, the two of them had been madly cultivating various spiritual beasts, and the development of the textile industry in the mortal world was indeed due to their hard work:
Some well-informed people also heard that not only did they create spiritual silkworms, but they also seemed to have begun to turn their research direction to the fur of spiritual animals.

But Zheng Fa's next words were even more beyond everyone's expectations.

"The Dean of the College of Agriculture, Qian Qi, Master Qian."

The three thousand disciples slowly turned their heads and their eyes fell on a slightly plump middle-aged man in the crowd.

Master Qian stood in the crowd, looking at Zheng Fa, almost unable to believe his ears.

In a trance, he saw Zheng Fa smiling at him:

"Master Qian? Are you willing to accept the position of dean?"

He began to nod involuntarily.

"Then please come up."

Master Qian slowly raised his feet and walked out of the crowd.

The other disciples passing by looked at him with curiosity, surprise and even scrutiny.

He also understood why this was so - because of the resources allocated to him by the sect leader, he was able to form a golden elixir last year and was much stronger than before.

However, compared to those instructors on the stage who are at least at the Nascent Soul stage, their cultivation is still not good enough.

When he stood next to the Blood River Patriarch and Jiao Wuji, Master Qian felt extremely uncomfortable.

The dean of the Jindan stage leads two mentors of the Huashen stage... and they are two Huashen from the demon sect.

His legs were shaking.

"Master Qian, are you willing to be the elder of the Jiushan Sect?"

"Long, long, long... old?"

Master Qian’s eyes widened and his mouth began to tremble.

"Yes, elder." Zheng Fa nodded at him, then looked at the disciples below the stage and said, "After becoming inner disciples, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to true disciples, elders, and supreme elders."

"For these three, not only will the sect give out good deeds every year, but they can also apply for research funding, and even manage universities or military academies, and offer suggestions for the development direction of the Nine Mountains Realm."

"It cannot be granted unless one's abilities are extremely outstanding."

“It cannot be awarded unless the contribution is extremely outstanding.”

"To be promoted to the rank of True Inheritor, one must have made great contributions or published important research results, and only with the recommendation of the elders."

"To be promoted to elder, the decision of all the elders must be passed."

Master Qian listened to Zheng Fadao:
"Master Qian, with your contributions, all the elders think you are qualified to be an elder. You are the only one who can be the dean of the Agricultural College."

Master Qian turned his head blankly.

Pang Taishang and others nodded to him.

Jiao Wuji and Xuehe Laozu, who looked like they were not easy to mess with, actually had a look of respect on their faces.

The disciples below the stage looked at him one by one, their eyes full of envy, but they were already bowing and greeting him.

The people and things in front of him suddenly became blurry. In the crystal clear and moist water light, he saw himself again in the market town, bending over and groveling to greet people.

When I saw the entire Qianhe Sect destroyed, I crawled like a stray dog.

I saw myself squatting in the medicine garden one day after several years.

Finally, he saw himself now: standing next to two immortals, the center of everyone’s attention.

When his vision became clear again, he saw Zheng Fa standing in front of him, smiling at him.

"Master Qian, please accept the letter of appointment."

"Yes!"

Master Qian stretched out his hands and held the letter of appointment in his hands, with veins bulging at the joints of his fingers.

……

The Nine Mountains were reorganized and the monks were divided into five categories.

Above the inner disciples of Jiushan Sect, there are three categories: true disciples, elders and supreme elders.

The powers and responsibilities of these three types of disciples have now been defined by Zheng Fa.

Compared to other disciples, they are truly powerful.

If one becomes a true disciple, he or she can independently apply to take charge of a research project. If one encounters danger outside, he or she has the right to command other disciples and make decisions on the battlefield.

The elders have more power. To some extent, they are the leaders of the disciplines and need to train students as mentors. They can also participate in the governance of Jiushan University and the military academy.

Zheng Fa would also discuss many matters concerning the Nine Mountains Realm with them.

And the Supreme Elder is even more different.

Currently, the supreme elders of Jiushan Sect are only Senior Sister Zhang, Uncle Master Pang, Uncle Master Huang and the old man.

They are the people who can truly manage things in the Nine Mountains Realm, and all decisions concerning the entire Nine Mountains Realm cannot bypass these five people.

If Zheng Fa is not in the realm or is in seclusion, the power of the Nine Mountains Realm will only be in the hands of the four supreme elders.

Simply put, the Grand Elder does not only look at academic contributions or cultivation level, but more importantly, he must have Zheng Fa's unreserved trust and the confidence of the Nine Mountains Realm.

The salaries of these three types of Nine Mountain monks are much higher than those of the inner sect monks.

Zheng Fa looked at Master Qian with a slight smile in his eyes.

Master Qian probably hasn't realized what being promoted to elder means to him:
Besides power and fame, today's glory.

The most important point for Master Qian is actually...the salaries of the elders are the same.

But Madam Xuanhua and her people are at least Yuanying, while Master Qian is only Jindan:
The same salary means completely different things to the two people.

It's like...the richest man makes more money in one day than many people can ever make in their entire life.

The resources that can make Madam Xuanhua and others work may be enough to kill a Jindan cultivator like Master Qian.

Zheng Fa even dared to say with certainty that among the first batch of Nascent Souls cultivated by the Nine Mountains Realm itself, Master Qian’s name must be among them.

The reason why Master Qian was promoted to elder was naturally because of his outstanding contribution to the Nine Mountains Realm:

Fusang wood and Qingjing bamboo are of great significance.

The various new species in the medicine garden, the population they feed, and the wealth they bring to the Nine Mountains Realm are obvious to all.

Not to mention the help that agronomy provides to the Dao of Alchemy.

No one could object to his becoming the dean of the Agricultural College.

It can only be him, no one else.

But on the other hand, Zheng Fa certainly has the mentality of buying bones for a thousand gold:
How far can a person with relatively mediocre qualifications reach in the Jiushan Sect through research?

Master Qian set an excellent example for these disciples:
You know, the elders' salaries and the Nine Chapter Array must also be made public.

……

"The first thing these disciples learned was actually the Water Theory."

Zheng Fa sat next to Senior Sister Zhang, looking at the freshly published papers in the discussion. His expression was indescribable, and he seemed to have a headache.

After some reforms, the disciples of Jiushan were given a few shots of chicken blood:

The problem is, there seems to be a bit too much chicken blood.

Or maybe due to the pressure of the inner door examination.

Or maybe it's because he's jealous of Qian Zhenren's salary.

Or maybe it's just a simple attempt to make some money from the pool of good deeds.

Three thousand disciples of Jiushan produced more than six thousand articles in twenty days...academic garbage.

Many of his disciples had no idea about the standards for writing essays, and the poor quality of these essays was enough to ruin Zheng Daozu's reputation in the modern education world.

"Most of them don't have enough accumulation to begin with." Senior Sister Zhang saw his painful expression and laughed, "What's more, they didn't write randomly. Many of their secret methods and ideas are quite fresh."

Zheng Fa let out a breath and nodded slowly.

These disciples just lacked ability, but their attitudes were positive, and quite a few of them actually took out their hidden secrets.

Lack of ability is understandable.

Bad attitude, hopeless.

Zheng Fa patiently flipped through the paper on the application of Taoism. Suddenly, he stopped looking, frowned, and his expression became serious.

Senior Sister Zhang leaned over to take a look and quietly read out the title of the paper:
"'Exploring the Mystery of the Decline of Akabane's Heavenly Qi'?"
