All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 424: Recruiting Disciples Separately
"Friends, does the dungeon really have a hidden mechanism against passive players? I think it may be true, but it does not affect our choice."

As soon as the young player from Xia Country, who was constantly spinning his black sunglasses with his fingers, finished speaking, the tall and strong white man leaning against the wall of the private room slowly shook his head.

“I have personally practiced the passive strategy several times in the dungeon. Although I did encounter some unexpected situations along the way, I eventually cleared the dungeon successfully.

Several of my player friends have told me that they have had similar experiences, which also proves that you can pass the game not only through fierce battles.

So I think your judgment is rather one-sided. The passive strategy is also a game strategy. It may cause some potential risks, but it is also worth giving priority to when necessary. "

The tall and strong white player answered clearly and calmly, refuting the Xia country young man's point of view, which sounded quite convincing.

The black player from the United States who was sitting with his legs crossed not far from him nodded and agreed with his white teeth:

"He's right. If there's only one of those giant monsters out there, we can find a way to deal with it with our strength. But if there are too many of them, the risk will inevitably get out of control. Anyway, I, Hei, don't want to face that kind of thing. The best strategy is for everyone to hide and observe the situation first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young woman from the island country sitting opposite him suddenly snorted:
"Humph! You men are so cowardly that when faced with difficulties you only hesitate and want to escape! I, Shikayoko, refuse to cooperate with you!"

After saying that, the island woman flashed and disappeared from the window of the private room.

Of the five people left in the room, only a young white woman with freckles on her face had not expressed any opinion. She was still silently chewing on the children's lollipop that seemed to never finish in her mouth.

This situation immediately made the young man from Xia Country a little unhappy. He immediately stopped spinning the black magic mirror in his hand, put on sunglasses in front of his eyes, stood up and said:
"Since everyone disagrees, let's just leave it at that... Those who want to lie down can go ahead and lie down, and those who want to do something can find me to work with. See you later!"

After saying that, he turned around and jumped out of the private room window, slightly lowered his body, and landed smoothly and gracefully on the street outside, blending into the prosperous Tianyuan City.

However, following closely behind him, the freckled white girl who had been chewing a lollipop in her mouth also quietly followed him. She was still in an abnormal state of not saying a word, but her movement speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared in the direction where the young player from Xia Country had just gone.

As a result, the six players who originally planned to unite were divided into two halves, one half decided to survive the dungeon, and the other half wanted to take the initiative and actively complete the tasks set by the dungeon.

Wang Zhifan himself obviously belongs to the camp that actively fights, but he did not engage in any fighting in this new copy that day. He mainly dealt with matters related to the Wuzun Hall, and occasionally meditated and practiced the Pure Yang True Art in his spare time.

It must be said that with the full support of local high-level officials, things were done quickly. After only one night, after many craftsmen in Tianyuan City worked overtime, his Wuzun Hall had been almost completely decorated.

Its specific location is on the east side of Qingyang Palace. It was renovated from an original empty hall. At this time, even the three-character plaque "Wuzun Hall" written by Taoist Master Zhenxuzi has been hung above the main hall door. Except that there are no disciples stationed there, the general layout of Wuzun Hall has taken shape.

Wang Zhifan is currently in the main hall of the Wuzun Palace, talking with Qingyangzi, whom he is most familiar with, while standing in front of the statue of a Taoist saint.

"Fellow Daoist Fanyun, I have issued a notice to all the Taoist cities within a radius of 100,000 miles. I believe that there will be many young talents who are pleasing to you coming to study soon. When the time comes, you will have to take some time to instruct them so that martial arts can be further promoted in my Taoist sect..."

Qingyangzi and Wang Zhifan were talking about the aspect of recruiting disciples, which he was responsible for helping with. It can be said that the three super-innate Taoists valued this more than Wang Zhifan himself. After all, they wanted to rely on Wang Zhifan's power to train a group of talents, and it would be strange if they did not actively bring people over.

"Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Qingyang. I have already planned a training strategy for my disciples last night. As long as the people who come here can pass my test and become my disciples, I will definitely make most of them become pillars of the martial arts..."

Wang Zhifan looked so confident that Qingyangzi became curious, wondering if the young man was bragging.

"Fellow Daoist Fanyun, could you elaborate on this? I might be able to learn from your teaching strategies."

Qing Yangzi looked at Wang Zhifan at this time, trying to test whether he had entered the arrogant mode and was so arrogant when he was preparing to accept a disciple for the first time.

But Wang Zhifan smiled and shook his head, responding easily:
"If you are curious, you will know when the first batch of disciples enter the temple."

"Alright... I will go and urge the city manager right away. I believe there are many talented young men in the city who are willing to devote themselves to martial arts."

After Qing Yangzi finished speaking, he did not chat more with Wang Zhifan. After a while, he left the Wuzun Hall and flew away on the wind.

"This Taoist is really a man of swift and decisive actions."

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. After thinking about it, he decided to stay in the hall and concentrate on meditation, continuing to practice the Pure Yang Gong that he had just started, and did not choose to supervise the specific matters of accepting disciples.

Because he knew that his most important goal was to clear this copy, the Demon Lords around Tianyuan City had been temporarily cleared out, and the other demon generals and demons were left to the majority of cultivators to deal with. This was a precious opportunity for him to have a good rest and consolidate his strength. When more powerful Demon Lords were expected to descend upon the disaster area, he would not have such a leisurely time.

As for the Wu Zun Hall accepting disciples, he chose to let fate decide everything. Even if someone wanted to do something while he was not paying attention, he didn't care. After all, he was a player who was destined to leave, and it was unrealistic to make long-term plans in this world. It was better to act according to the circumstances and let fate decide who would be the lucky one to receive his favor.

His eyes turned, and his focus returned to the bustling streets of Tianyuan City.

Not long ago, a young man from Xia Country, who had just parted ways with other players, was wandering around a street wearing sunglasses, collecting any information that might be useful to him.

In the crowd behind him, a young white woman with freckles on her face could be seen following him silently. This woman was like a strange ghost, following him silently without saying a word while chewing a children's lollipop in her mouth. It was hard to understand what she was thinking. "Why is this strange woman following me? Is she attracted by my personal charm? But she has too many freckles on her face, so ugly."

The Xia country player had already discovered the follower behind him, but he did not pay much attention to it.

The real reason was that he had a very bad impression of the foreign female player in the private room before. This woman was in a strange state of not talking and chewing a lollipop from beginning to end. She did not say a single word to the other five players, and even had very little eye contact. The others had already assumed that this strange woman was a stranger, and the two sides did not interfere with each other.

Now she followed silently, but did not continue to get closer when the Xia player deliberately stopped, but kept a certain distance. The Xia player thought that she was still in that strange state of not intending to communicate, so she gave up trying to communicate.

Anyway, the penalty level mechanism of this copy has been greatly strengthened. He believes that as long as this strange woman does not want to die in the penalty level, she will not do anything unfavorable to him.

Soon, the two players, one in front and one behind, crossed the long street, passed by many pedestrians and shops, and came to an area at the corner of the street where hundreds of people gathered.

A large number of copy NPCs gathered together, which often meant that a certain plot or task was triggered, so the Xia country players immediately increased their attention and sneaked into the crowd like slippery loaches to find out what was happening here.

Soon, he discovered that these hundreds of people were surrounding something that looked like a public notice board at an intersection. On the large wooden board were some snow-white papers with very neat words on them. The surrounding natives were looking at the notices and talking about them. Among them, the most discussed one was a force called "Wu Zun Temple" that wanted to recruit disciples.

"You have all heard about it, right? The owner of this Martial Honor Hall is the Taoist who was personally named Martial Honor by the Confucian Master yesterday. It is said that this Taoist came from the Dao Realm to the lower realm in order to develop and strengthen the martial arts of our Disaster Realm..."

“Martial Honored?! The Master actually personally bestowed such a noble title upon him! It seems that this Martial Honored must be a martial arts expert with super innate abilities. The future of martial artists like me is bright!”

"Haha, they only accept disciples who are under sixteen years old, why are you so excited? And the notice said that there are special tests for accepting disciples. Even if you are twenty years younger, you may not be able to get in..."

"I don't think so. After all, martial arts is just a minor path, not comparable to other major paths. This Martial Honor Hall may not be able to recruit many elite disciples. Other talented young people must have already found a way to practice. Who would abandon their own major path to practice martial arts?"

“That being said, there are actually quite a few martial artists in the world, many of them practice martial arts concurrently, and quite a few of them practice martial arts as their main focus. However, there is only one school of martial arts that has been opened up by the super-innate martial artist!
I dare to conclude that there must be many warrior families who have brought their children to the Martial Honored Palace in recent days. After all, although the Three Paths have a bright future, they require very high talent. People who do not have the talent for practicing the Three Paths may not be able to go further on the path of martial arts..."

……

These NPCs were discussing heatedly, some were not optimistic about the future of Wu Zun Hall, while others believed that it would surely expand its influence in the future. These words made the young player from Xia country have some ideas in the ears after a while.

"Haha... I was wondering why the enemies in this dungeon were so terribly strong. It turns out there are hidden benefits like this! With my background as a high-level player, wouldn't it be easy for me to join this Martial Honor Hall? I guess when the Martial Honor sees a peerless genius like me, he will break the age requirement and accept me as his disciple! No, why do I have to go to the Martial Honor Hall? Isn't cultivating immortals more promising than practicing martial arts? Let me see if there are any immortal cultivation sects that are recruiting people..."

For a moment, this young Xia player had the idea of ​​joining the Martial Honor Palace to learn some skills and enhance his strength, but as a Xia person, he naturally believed that martial arts was not as good as cultivating immortals, so he felt that going to the Martial Honor Palace was not the best choice. It would be best to find a school that could cultivate the way to become an immortal.

But after looking at the notice for a while, he didn't find any other high-end forces recruiting disciples. Not wanting to give up, he took the opportunity to ask some NPCs gathered around for relevant information. As a result, what the NPCs said made him realize that it was not that simple.

"Young man, I will tell you the truth. I am a Taoist. You are already past the best time to practice Taoism at your age. High Taoist temples like Zhenxu Palace, Qingyang Palace, and Huayang Palace will definitely not accept you. If you really want to practice Taoism, why not take me as your master? I will only charge you three hundred taels of silver, and I guarantee that you will be able to draw Qi into your body within a month..."

"The Taoist, Confucian, and Buddhist sects have been recruiting disciples all the time, but they want talented young men. Brother, you are already so old, stop daydreaming! Even if it is the newly opened Martial Honor Hall, you can't enter..."

"Only the Taoist sect in this city is recruiting disciples. If you want to start from scratch at your age, no one will accept you. However, if you have already cultivated to the Xiantian realm, then maybe you still have a chance, but only a few chances..."

After communicating with the NPCs, the player quickly left and headed straight for the location of the Wu Zun Temple that he had inquired about.

He didn't make up his mind to join the Wu Zun Palace, but he wanted to get in touch with the high-end NPCs in this world to see if he could build some connections or something, which would be of great benefit to him in clearing the dungeon.

As he went forward, he discovered that the freckled white female player was still following him like a ghost, but he still didn't care much. This woman was really strange, and he had gotten used to ignoring her.

So, after a while, when the Xia player came to the central area of ​​Tianyuan City and found the Wuzun Hall at the door which was beginning to become lively, he discovered that this place attracted quite a few people.

Most of them were indigenous teenagers or even children accompanied by their elders. A small number of them, like him, were over the age limit and were probably here to watch the fun.

"Everyone! Those who want to enter the Martial Honor Hall to practice must first have a qualified physique! Come here to test your physique!"

Following the voice, the Xia players discovered that the person who was shouting was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing at the entrance of the Wuzun Hall. He was dressed like a little Taoist priest, and was responsible for guiding the people gathered outside, asking them to go into the main hall in order to have their bones touched by a middle-aged Taoist priest with a goatee. This was the most basic screening level.

Of course, age is certainly a consideration, but that is the default requirement. Those who are too young or too old will be stopped outside the palace by the guards.

These scenes were all expected for the Xia country player. He was thinking about whether to use some tricks to disguise himself as a teenager and join in, when he suddenly saw a familiar young man in the hall silently watching the scene outside.

"Isn't that the lone wolf player who provided the information earlier? Why is he in the Martial Honor Hall? Has he been admitted as an exception?"

The Xia player immediately sensed that something was fishy and prepared to ask for advice from the player he had just met yesterday.
