Qin Xianyu frowned, ignored it, and entered the small building.

He released his perception, searched around, and found nothing.

Then the three of them left outside the building again, and the tender crying still did not stop.

Qin Xianyu could hear that the source of these sounds was probably just babies, with about seven.

He turned his head and looked at Yuangu and Yuanling, showing a look of confusion.

Yuangu whispered: "This is the seedlings collected this year. The roots and bones are excellent. I just wait for the patrolling disciples of this sect to pass through Liang State and take them back to the mountain gate for training."

Qin Xianyu was slightly stunned and asked, "There are only these?"

Yuangu and Yuanling looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "There are no more seven."

Qin Xianyu asked, "It's less than I thought. I wonder how you got these disciples?"

"Return to the uncle of the junior master, Liang State has a law. Whenever a baby is born, he must establish a household registration within one month." Yuangu whispered: "The household registration seal of Liang State is actually issued from Yanzhiguan, which is barely considered a simple magic weapon. Most of the officials who control household registration in various places are assigned by Yanzhiguan. Therefore, every baby is under the control of Yanzhiguan. In addition, in order to avoid some remote babies who do not have registered household registration, Yanzhiguan often has disciples wandering outside, walking in remote places, or in deep mountains and forests. Even some families living in seclusion often find it."

Yuan Ling said: "This sect only recruits children under three years old. Yan Zhiguan thoroughly checks it every year, so every child will have three chances to test the root bones and there will be no mistakes."

Qin Xianyu heard the crying of several babies, which were crisp, soft, or loud, but they could all be heard. These babies were full of energy and did not show any weakness. He thought for a moment and asked, "How many children have been attracted by such repeated tests and searches?"

"Yes." Yuangu said: "There are about 800,000 children under the age of three in the Nanliang Kingdom. There are 270,000 new babies this year, of which more than 1,000 are better than 1,000, but they are enough to meet the standards of this sect. There are only these seven. However, this is also related to luck. It is said that the Beiliang Kingdom, two thousand miles north, has only 120,000 new babies, but eleven are selected."

Qin Xianyu was silent for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

People always say that choosing one in a hundred is the best. However, these seven babies are the seedlings in thousands.

This is the foundation of Yandi.

The Yan land in Zhongzhou is controlled by the entire Yan land. There is not only one place like the Nanliang Kingdom that raises population, but many places.

This is still a secret arrangement. As for the open, the entire Zhongzhou is like this. Any baby who can be called immortal roots and Taoist bones in Zhongzhou will be included in Yandi, even within the scope of other first-class sects. This is the case and cannot be compromised.

This rule is beneficial to Yandi, and secondly, it weakens the roots of future disciples of other sects.

However, this kind of regulation is actually not very strict. There are still many disciples from first-class sects with excellent roots and bones, even no less than those recruited by the Immortal Sect. However, in comparison, the Immortal Sect has a long history and its teaching methods are self-organized. They are rigorous and perfect, and are naturally countless times better than other sects.

The Southern Liang Kingdom and the Northern Liang Kingdom are just one of the places where the Yan land raises the population, and many other places. I am afraid that only the real sect masters can know them all.

It is precisely because they control the entire vast Zhongzhou and control countless populations that the acquisition of disciples in Yan land is extremely strict. Even if the roots and bones are good, they will not be taken, and they can only be regarded as immortal roots and Taoist bones. The seedlings with good roots and bones will be cultivated separately. In the future, their descendants will most likely have people with higher qualifications.

"Most of these children were sent in half a year. Yanzhiguan has special care for Taoist children, and they are caring for them." Yuangu said: "The parents of these children know that they are going to climb the fairy mountain to learn Taoism, and they are also very happy. Because some of the methods of Yanzhiguan in Liang State have made the legend of immortals known to everyone, and every household actually has great longing for the cultivation of immortals and Taoism. Therefore, whenever the disciples with excellent roots are sent by their families happily, the Liang State will also spend a sum of silver to distribute them every year, which will last for 60 years, so it will be considered compensation."

Qin Xianyu was silent for a moment before nodding and said, "So that's it."

Both of them saw that this uncle was not very familiar with this kind of disciple selection. They both knew in the letter from the head of the sect that the uncle of the junior master was actually extremely young and was not any elder they knew when they were in the mountain gate.

In order to help him solve his doubts, Yuan Ling said again: "Most of the time, if children born within the scope of his own sect, most of them will be recruited as disciples by the sect. However, Yandi controls Zhongzhou, and most of the seedlings with excellent roots and bones must be collected, so that some sects secretly raise populations to avoid being known by our sect. In order not to force them too much, Yandi mostly turned a blind eye to these things. Until later, our sect began to raise populations and establish countries or tribal clans that were not set foot in by other cultivators. Selecting disciples in this way can also prevent other forces from estimating the sect."

Qin Xianyu frowned and asked, "What is the case with all the nine immortal sects?"

Such styles and means of acting are really different from the Immortal Sect, which is superior to the world, and surpasses the nine heavens. It’s okay for Yandi to be a holy land of sword immortals after all, and the style of acting is not limited, but it is similar to Xuanting Sect and the places that are in line with the fairy mountains and blessed lands in his mind, which are similar to the Immortal Immortal Sect, which are in line with the Immortal Mountains and Blessed Land in his mind?

Yuan Ling said: "More than half of the Immortal Sects are like this, but they are not completely the same. After all, each sect has different behaviors, and there will inevitably be differences in their actions. For example, the Immortal Sect of Morality emphasizes the principle of fate and the auxiliary of roots and bones. However, it does not raise the population and establish a country."

Qin Xianyu nodded and suddenly felt like he was breathing.

He thought about it carefully and found several children every year. Yuangu and Yuanling have selected countless disciples for Yandi in the past two hundred years, and they have really worked hard and made great contributions.

Today I realized that every disciple in Yandi has such a bone without a single bone, and the hundreds of disciples divided by his tenth vein are the best among the same group of disciples in Yandi.

This group of disciples is under thirteen years old and over six years old, representing the excellent bones selected in the vast Zhongzhou area and countless people within a few years. However, the hundreds of disciples from Qin Xianyu's tenth vein are the best among this group of disciples.

"No wonder it's like stars shining..."

Originally, Qin Xianyu had never thought of teaching the Dharma himself, but when he saw these extremely outstanding disciples, he seemed to be full of stars in the sky, but he couldn't help but feel the thought of accepting five major disciples and memorizing more than ten disciples in his heart.

"If I hadn't heard them solve their doubts, I wouldn't have known the value of these hundreds of disciples, nor would I know that the foundation of the tenth meridian was so stable."

Qin Xianyu sighed in his heart, "However, roots and bones are not the same as achievement."

Roots and bones can be measured, but understanding cannot be measured, mind and perseverance cannot be measured. Even if there is a good root and bone, if there is a lack of understanding, mind and perseverance, it is impossible to achieve anything.

Even if the five disciples Qin Xianyu accepted were excellent seedlings that were only produced in the entire Zhongzhou for several years, Mingtu had admitted before that although these disciples were outstanding, they might not all be able to become immortals. If there were disciples who could not achieve enlightenment, it would be useless to waste their hearts. Even if the remaining disciples could become immortals, they would not be enough to carry the foundation of the entire tenth vein, so they had to accept hundreds of disciples to avoid such changes.

He turned his head and looked at Yuangu and Yuanling.

Both of them have crane hair and a childish face, and they have a fairy-like appearance, but their old age is indelible.

As real people of Longhu, they both lived for 200 years, and the remaining time was only a few decades.

Decades of time are a long half or even a lifetime for ordinary people, but for practitioners, it is a very short life.

"They were both disciples who grew up in Yandi Mountain Gate. They also picked out the seedlings in this way when they were young, and the roots and bones were also none in a thousand. However, roots and bones were not the same as achievements. After they were sent here because they had not achieved enlightenment, they were demoted from the outside world. After they were sent here, they stayed away from the sect without reading the classics, without guidance from elders, and without communication with their fellow disciples, so the hope of becoming an immortal became even more and more slim."

Qin Xianyu thought so in his heart.

Yuangu and Yuanling seemed to think of their own situation, and their eyes were gloomy. (To be continued.)
