1932_ Entry Screening

The reason is that it is difficult for Confucianism cultivators and fortune-tellers to get started, but once you get started, that is, as long as you confirm that someone does have the talent for Confucianism cultivators or fortune-tellers, then the chances of this person's subsequent advancement to high cultivation levels will be significantly greater than For monks who practice public professions, the ratio of the Heavenly Sight Gate to the Foundation Establishment and the Golden Elixir can be higher than the ratio of the Qi Training to the Foundation Establishment. This ratio may sound strange at first glance, but it is actually determined by the characteristics of the profession.

From the Qi training period to the foundation building period, one is sifting out one's talent.People without fortune-telling talents will be stuck at the peak of Qi training, while those with fortune-telling talents enter the Foundation Establishment, and then entering Jindan almost seems to be a matter of course.

This is like a demon cultivator.The starting point of a demon cultivator is to be able to transform into a human form—partially transforming into a human form—because only after transforming into a human form can one use the systematic cultivation methods accumulated over a long period of time by humans, senior demon cultivators of the same race, and different races, and "transform into a human form" This step eliminates a large number of creatures that try to follow the path of demon cultivation. Those who can transform into human form, the speed of follow-up cultivation and the ceiling of cultivation are higher than the average value of human monks.

To further compare it, it is like the elimination of spiritual roots for human beings.Generally speaking, it is impossible for anyone without spiritual roots to cultivate. The proportion of human beings who are born with spiritual roots is much lower than the proportion of people who are born in the Qi training period and promoted to the foundation building period.

getting Started.

In some occupations, the hurdle of 'entry' is very high, and after passing it, you can go smoothly for a long time.Of course, if you want to reach the top of the profession, the difficulty will definitely be much greater than getting started.

The entry barrier for a tea cultivator lies not in talent but in interest. The profession of tea cultivator has no higher requirements for cultivation talent than popular professions such as sword cultivator.The sword cultivator requires love to use the sword, the alchemy cultivator requires obsession with elixirs, the beast master requires a heartfelt love for spirit beasts, and the tea cultivator requires a full interest in tea. 'Tea', as a branch of plants, has too many limitations. There are countless planters who love Lingzhi, but it is too demanding to ask planters to only love tea.

There are few tea cultivators because of their niche interest, which is smaller than that of music cultivators, and the follow-up practice of tea cultivators has no advantage over popular professions except for a clear direction.Although the highly restrictive professional requirements will make it easier for monks to find the general direction of their own Tao, it is still difficult to figure out the specific small direction of each person's Tao.

1933_ Bottomless

Even senior brother, who has clearly defined his own cultivation path since the Qi training period and has been firmly implementing it... a strange person, who is still worried about his inner demons when he is approaching the peak of Jindan. less.

Eldest brother has many previous examples to refer to, including the successive heads of Yunxiazong, as well as the heads and powerful figures of other sects in the records of Yunxiazong. Eldest brother can learn from a large number of cases, but the tea cultivator in the tea garden, there is no There are so many high-level precedents, when they reach the peak of Jindan, they have to explore on their own to a large extent, instead of looking for situations similar to themselves from the previous examples as a reference.A few tea cultivators Yuanying are not enough to guide every junior tea cultivator at the top of Jindan who is different from himself in every detail of the path.

However, the tea cultivator has a stage of becoming a god, not in the tea garden, but in Kunlun.There are not many tea cultivators in Kunlun, but there is a stage of transformation into gods, and there was a period of Mahayana. It seems that the tea cultivators in the stage of transformation of gods may also have the possibility of impacting Mahayana.

...Kunlun is really... bottomless.Yunxiazong is known as a comprehensive sect, but compared to Kunlun, the "comprehensiveness" of Yunxiazong is as simple as playing a house, so I can't even say a few sour words about Kunlun.

Some people say that Kunlun is an abbreviated elite version of the world of self-cultivation. All the good and valuable people in the world of self-cultivation can be found in Kunlun; some people say that during the catastrophe, as long as Kunlun survives, even if all other monks are wiped out, The world of self-cultivation can be regarded as well-preserved—although what is said is quite reasonable, and I am convinced of Kunlun, but... I am still not happy.

This kind of discomfort can be simply expressed as: other people's children.

In fact, in my heart, I admire the "children of other people's family" - if it really exists and not made up - but many people feel unhappy when they praise it again and again.This unhappiness is not aimed at other people's children, but at the person who praises:

You just stare at other people's every move every day, and you have to praise them from head to toe for something exciting, isn't it annoying?Just go about your own business and be quiet, okay?

After observing around Shi Bolin Bingtuo for a while, many contestants probably submitted their answers, and then left.

In addition to Shi Bolinbing, there are many divination topics in the fantasy world of the competition. Participants and cooperators can choose the direction they are good at for divination or guessing.Most of the questions can be done or not, anyway, only the number of correct answers will be counted in the end, but there are a small number of questions, such as Shi Bolinbing, which the organizer stipulates that every contestant must answer.If there are equal scorers when the competition is over, such mandatory questions will become auxiliary scoring items.

1934_ Elective Course for Fortune Tellers

Since it is a compulsory question, most of the contestants will definitely appear around here—just most of them, because it is not ruled out that a small number of contestants fill in the time and submit without field investigation—so based on the habit of collecting information, I stayed next to Shi Bolinbing, observing everyone passing by, and prepared to observe until Shi Bolin broke through the ice.

Because the observation is more interesting, I didn't even consider deliberately breaking the ice and letting Shi Bo Lin out in advance to cause confusion for the contestants.I think if Pei Bing is allowed to release Shi Bolin, Suo Xianzong will probably not notice that I did it, but of course, the powerful people who came to watch the game will definitely find out, and then they will treat it as nothing. Seeing that, I will still remind Suo Xianzong, not necessarily, so rationally speaking, I'd better not act rashly.

Wu Yi didn't leave either.

Me: "If you dawdle too much, others will grab the easy questions first. In the instructions of Suoxianzong, many questions can only be done once. Are you so passive and sabotage that you are not afraid of being punished after the game?"

Wu Yi: "We are collaborators, of course we must act together."

Me: "...Are we agreed to cooperate?"

Wu Yi: "Didn't you introduce it to Fellow Daoist Bo?"

I just found a reason to fool her, because I felt that I might be cursed if I refused directly.

Me: "Curse is also one of the lessons of fortune tellers, right?"

Wu Yi: "Looking at the hobbies, you don't have to learn it, but if you learn it, it is not classified as a minor occupation. It is an elective course for fortune tellers."

Me: "Do you think Fellow Daoist Bo has learned?"

Wu Yi: "First of all, you have to figure out the difference between 'prophecy' and 'curse'. Sometimes someone says something bad will happen in the future, it's not because of the curse that caused the bad things to happen, but because of what they said A future in which bad things are bound to happen."

Me: "From an onlooker's point of view, how can we distinguish between a curse and a prophecy? Fortune tellers and conjurers, in the matter of 'telling the future', how can they do so without perceiving the spiritual fluctuations of their spells or divinations?" distinguish?"

Wu Yi: "If you sense fluctuations in spiritual power, how do you distinguish whether it's casting a spell or divination?"

Me: "...What is the fluctuation of spiritual power in divination?"

Wu Yi: "Is there no record in Yunxia Sect?"

Me: "I can't understand the relevant materials that can be read." Of course, even if I take the risk to read the materials that cannot be read, I will only be more incomprehensible.

Wu Yi: "Can you understand the form of spiritual fluctuations in the spell?"

Me: "The entry-level ones are okay, and they are somewhat similar to Faxiu Fajue."

Wu Yi: "...does it look like it?"

"Isn't it?" Because Wu Yi seemed to understand and seemed to be willing to give me advice, so I put on an attitude of sincerely asking for advice.To be honest, it's been a long time since I asked my father and I such a sincere question, no wonder he is getting more and more lazy to talk to me.

I explained my understanding to Wu Yi: "Fajue is the operation of spiritual power according to certain rules, which has an immediate impact on objects, making objects change into the form required by Dharma cultivation, such as driving Qi into wind and driving water into rain; and Spells have a future effect on objects. In addition, spells mainly affect physical objects, while incantations are more inclined to affect luck, emotions and other intangible things. May I ask, where is this understanding wrong?"

Because Yunxiazong does not have the two professions of fortune teller and spellcaster, although some seniors have minored in them, after all, they are not included in the training system of Yunxiazong, so the information is not detailed, and can only be used as a reference .

Wu Yi: "This kind of understanding is not wrong, but you know that sword cultivation is separated from law cultivation, right?"

I nodded.

Wu Yi: "If you think there are similarities between Judgment and Curse, then do you think that swordsmanship separated from Judgment has something in common with Curse?"

Me: "Yes. The sword is to lock the target, touch, pierce, and harvest; the curse is to lock the target, touch, erode, and harvest."

Wu Yi: "If you want to understand it this way... there are really not many occupations that are completely unrelated."

Me: "Theoretically, there shouldn't be completely dissimilar occupations, right?"

Wu Yi: "It's true."

Me: "So, what are the characteristics of the spiritual power fluctuations of casting spells and divination? It's not convenient to talk about divination, can you talk about casting spells?"

Wu Yi: "Well... you will know it after you have actually encountered it. Oh, no, it should be said that you will understand it after a few times of actual contact."

... Heh, it's another sentence pattern of 'you'll know when you meet'.It's masochistic to expect answers from other people...but I can't help but ask questions whenever I get the chance.

Pei Bing: "It's not surprising, you have the M attribute."

Get scolded as soon as you open your mouth.Obviously, you have inherited my Shaking M attributes to a certain extent.
