Chapter 114 You Really Know This Question?
Inside the Great Hall.
Chu Xingchen sat in the main seat; currently, there were about twenty people standing here. The illusion array designed by Li Yingling was actually quite good, and it had indeed basically swept away most people with improper intentions.
It looked like Li Yingling had indeed put in painstaking effort.
If he had known earlier, he would have just used his discretion to keep one or two more; anyway, he definitely could not handle it entirely according to the plan submitted by Li Yingling.
Not to mention how many personal tasks were stuffed inside, just following the process would take a month. Chu Xingchen did not have that much energy to toss about with this.
His gaze swept over everyone standing in the Great Hall at this moment; there were also one or two fish that slipped through the net, so he would just find a random excuse to clear them out later.
After Li Yingling checked the number of people, she spoke in a low voice, "Master, only one person has not arrived yet."
Chu Xingchen shook his head gently to indicate he did not care.
"It does not matter. Your Master still has this bit of patience; it is just waiting a while."
Li Yingling believed these words; her Master still had some bearing.
Not long after, Zhao Wanqing led a well-dressed young man walking over.
Chu Xingchen raised his eyes to look as the young man stepped into the Great Hall. The young man had just bent his waist to cup his hands in greeting, and his body had not yet straightened up.
Chu Xingchen's calm and waveless voice rang out, "You are eliminated. You can go back now."
The young man raised his head in surprise and asked in disbelief, "May I ask the High Immortal why this is?"
"Just because you were the last to arrive. What do you think an opportunity is?" Chu Xingchen's gaze was calm but carried a sense of endless coercion as he said, "Do you think opportunities are all like this, where everyone arrives and then discusses who it belongs to?"
"On the path of cultivating immortality, what is needed most is a sense of urgency. Since you are not anxious about this opportunity, then wait for the next time."
Chu Xingchen finished speaking and waved his large hand; spiritual energy blew this young man directly out of the hall, and incidentally closed the hall doors at the same time.
He thought someone who came late might be something good, but it turned out to be just this?
Leaving aside that his talent did not meet the standard, there was the black entry [Arsonist] alone. His own Sect could not withstand this person's tossing about; he should hurry up and go plague other Sects.
Li Yingling, who was to the side, secretly took a glance at her Master.
What about the promised patience? Was this not being unable to tolerate it even a little bit?
However, what her Master said also made sense; this made Li Yingling unconsciously think of when Master took her to steal spiritual medicine...
Mentioning this matter, Li Yingling felt as if it had happened just yesterday. Thinking about it, it was also interesting.
With the closing of the main doors, the remaining re-examination personnel standing in the hall unconsciously stood up straight again one after another. Even Cui Hao was made somewhat nervous by this solemn atmosphere that had arisen.
Chu Xingchen stood up, his gaze sweeping over the few people in front of him, then spoke in a relaxed tone.
"No need to be nervous. This re-examination is very simple; it is just answering a few questions and chatting with me."
As he spoke, Chu Xingchen strolled slowly to stand in front of Lin Luoyu and said in a much softer tone, "I heard you got a full score in the initial test?"
Lin Luoyu hurriedly cupped her hands and answered, "It was a full score!"
Chu Xingchen nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, what do you think is the most important thing on the path of cultivating immortality?"
After thinking slightly, Lin Luoyu answered seriously, "Cultivation places the most weight on unremitting persistence, as well as holding fast to one's original heart."
"A good answer. Walking this path has not been easy, right? I see your clothes are patched over and over." Chu Xingchen reached out and pointed at Lin Luoyu's cuffs, which were patched in two places.
Lin Luoyu said with a determined tone, "Even if it is not easy, I must walk it!"
Chu Xingchen nodded with a smile, then walked in front of a short-haired maiden beside Lin Luoyu, asking with an unchanging tone.
"Please use the Theory of the Great Dao as a foundation to simply elaborate on your understanding of the matter of cultivating immortality."
The short-haired maiden was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Chu Xingchen with a surprised gaze.
No, was the span of this question not a bit too large? Why was it just easy or not easy for others, but when it came to her, it started with the Theory of the Great Dao?
She held it in for a long time, and could only grit her teeth and say, "I have not read the Theory of the Great Dao..."
Chu Xingchen shook his head with a look of regret, stepping to the next person, a nervous-looking man.
"Discuss the necessary connection between the Great Dao Reincarnation and immortal cultivators."
The man gave a bitter laugh and finally answered.
"I... I have not read books."
Chu Xingchen sighed and shook his head, walking to the next one.
"Discuss..."
"I do not know..."
"Please answer..."
"I have never come into contact with this type..."
Chu Xingchen asked several slightly abstract questions in succession that no one could answer. While sighing, he walked slowly, then arrived in front of Cui Hao.
Looking at this youth who had a somewhat scholarly air, Chu Xingchen first looked a few more times repeatedly, then thought slightly, and finally slowly opened his mouth to ask.
"Discuss the connection between the mortal market economy and Immortal Cultivation Sects."
Cui Hao was stunned upon hearing this, immediately thought for a while, and then answered with a serious face.
"The mortal market is the cornerstone. Only a stable mortal market can sustain an Immortal Cultivation Sect."
"Although Immortal Cultivation Sects do not rely on the mortal market to a certain extent, having a stable mortal market is definitely of huge help to an Immortal Cultivation Sect."
"After all, the essence of an Immortal Cultivation Sect is to pursue the Great Dao. Often, there is not much energy to engage in production, although the mortal market does not have a large impact on the immortal cultivation market."
"However, a prosperous mortal market will provide enough convenience to the Immortal Cultivation Sect. Certain tedious and repetitive work can be handed over to the mortal market."
"In this way, the Immortal Cultivation Sect can integrate cultivator resources to complete tasks that mortals cannot complete. In this way, the efficiency level of the Sect can be improved."
"Therefore, I believe that an Immortal Cultivation Sect that wants stable and long-term development must prepare a prosperous and stable mortal market."
Chu Xingchen looked at Cui Hao with a gaze of surprise. Although the remarks were considered simple, they were not considered wrong.
