From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 353 Baiyun Daoyuan 5+2 Mode
Many things in the world are always like this. There is a lot of foreplay, and then there is a lot of anxiety and ecstasy, but in the end the real shudder is just a matter of a moment.

This exam, like all previous ones, lasted only two days.

No matter how much reluctance and fantasy there are, all of them will come to an abrupt end with the ringing of the last bell for collecting papers on June 8th. The 20 million candidates will then go through a period of sagely moments.

Fortunately, this sage moment doesn't last long.

The official Ministry of Education has issued a notice early on that in order not to affect the traditional college admissions process, the release of results this year will be greatly advanced. After taking the exam on June 8, students will be able to check their college entrance examination results around June 15.

So within two days of the exam, tens of millions of candidates began to become confused and worried about gains and losses.

Also during these few days, the number of visits to the official websites of major Taoist academies doubled, and the official website of Baiyun Taoist Academy was paralyzed several times.

Those who know that their college entrance examination scores will definitely pass the Taoist temple admission line are already looking for and comparing the pros and cons of Taoist temples in various places.

Under this circumstance, the major Taoist temples have also reached the final stage of preparation.

It’s the first time for the new bride to get on the bridal sedan, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

On Baiyun Mountain, Li Yang and Chi Yanhong were discussing and finalizing the final course content of Baiyun Taoist Academy.

The four little ones did not participate in this meeting, as it was held in the Yuchan Hall in the back mountain.

In the solemn hall filled with incense, Chi Yanhong wrote and drew on a piece of paper, revised it many times, and finally circled a few entries, undecided.

Li Yang took a quick look and asked in confusion, "Is it necessary to arrange so many compulsory courses for our first year?"

Chi Yanhong looked up at him and said, "Do you mean to delete the courses [Talisman Theory and Production] and [Introduction to Swordsmanship]?"

Li Yang thought for a moment, pointed to a few courses on the form and said, "I think [Daoist Scripture Study] can be cancelled, or downgraded to an elective course."

These courses are more traditional Taoist courses. Li Yang himself is a half-way Taoist and does not attach much importance to them.

Chi Yanhong shook his head and interrupted Li Yang: "You naturally don't need these, but for ordinary people who have just come into contact with Taoism, these are very important."

Seeing that Li Yang was still skeptical, Chi Yanhong sighed and continued to explain: "Baiyun Daoyuan alone may not care about these things, but the entire cultivation world is not just Baiyun Daoyuan. In the future, when our disciples want to be awarded and rated, the Dao League has a hard requirement for being familiar with the Dao books."

Li Yang thought for a moment and understood what Chi Yanhong meant.

Yes, in order to keep up with the international standards, disciples must take exams. In the future, disciples of the Taoist temple will have to learn a little about these things besides their practice.

"In that case, let's follow what we agreed on before. Five compulsory courses and two electives. If there are more, I'm afraid those little guys won't be able to bear it."

Chi Yanhong pondered for a moment and said, "Do you mean that [Introduction to Swordsmanship] will be reduced to an elective course?"

Li Yang nodded: "After all, Yubao is not from our Baiyun Mountain. He is a guest official. We don't know when he will leave. Plus, they only have one year. If they spend too much energy on swordsmanship, it will be even more difficult to cultivate a sense of Qi."

Baiyun Taoist Academy is different from traditional universities after all, and Li Yang and Chi Yanhong are not doing charity.

The first year of enrollment was just a probation period. If a student did not develop a sense of Qi within a year, it would mean that their qualifications were too low or their character was not strong enough, and their college entrance examination scores would be withheld and they would be sent back down the mountain. Almost all Taoist temples did this, and it was considered a default rule.

One year is neither long nor short.

Those with extraordinary talents can develop a sense of Qi in a few days; those with mediocre talents, like Wang Xin at the beginning, also need two months to develop a sense of Qi with the accumulation of resources.

If one still cannot get the hang of it after a year and reaches the threshold of cultivation, then it means that he is definitely not destined to practice cultivation, and no Taoist temple will waste resources to fill this bottomless pit.

"That's fine. They are just starting to practice cultivation anyway, so it's not a good thing to increase their combat power too early." Chi Yanhong's cold eyes reflected a lot of thoughts, and he eventually downgraded the [Introduction to Swordsmanship] taught by Taoist Yubao to the elective column in the timetable.

In this way, the '5+2' teaching model piloted by Baiyun Mountain was officially determined.

Currently, Baiyun Taoist Temple has determined five compulsory courses, namely: meditation class, Taoist scripture study (morning class), cultivation of Taoism and Dharma, Mandarin, and situation and policy.

There are also five elective courses: Introduction to Formations and Feng Shui Bagua, Introduction to Swordsmanship, Theory and Making of Talismans, Herbal Medicine, and Popular Science of Various Laws.

The so-called '5+2 model' means that after completing five required courses, students must choose two elective courses to complete the required credits.

Most of these courses are held once or twice a week, and only meditation class and Taoist scripture study (morning class) are required courses that are held every day, leaving students with plenty of free time.

After completing the required credits, if you can develop a sense of Qi within one year, you can formally pass the probation period in the second year and be taught more advanced methods.

Otherwise, their college entrance examination scores will be retained and they will be sent back down the mountain to participate in traditional college admissions the next year.

After everything was discussed, Chi Yanhong arranged the class timetable and distributed it directly to the four children.

The four kids had different expressions after getting their schedules.

Zhao Ziyao raised her hands and protested on the spot: "Master Chi, I think the "spiritual food cooking and production" I proposed can also be included in the elective courses. When these freshmen are tired from practicing, they can relax and cultivate their sentiments!"

"Heh, you're a weasel, you have no good intentions when you pay New Year's greetings. You want to take this opportunity to embezzle teaching materials!"

Wang Xin sneered and exposed someone's conspiracy without hesitation. He turned to Chi Yanhong with a righteous look and said, "Master, I suggest that the course "Exploring the Possibility of Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation" that I and Junior Sister Zhu Ling teach together can be included as an elective. It is also a cutting-edge academic research in the cultivation world and is of great significance!"

Zhao Ziyao couldn't hold it in any longer and rolled up her sleeves: "Damn, are you a human being? You don't care about your dignity anymore, right? You're still thinking about Xiao Zhu Ling and trying to do something bad to her!"

"Bullshit, I'm doing academic research, but yours is Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knows it. If you open a course on "Spiritual Food Cooking and Production", you will definitely be the number one rat in Baiyun Mountain!"

The two guys quarreled more and more fiercely, their faces turned red and they started fighting.

Zhu Ling's face turned slightly red, and she was a little at a loss, while Yu Bao tilted his head unhappily, not knowing why his [Introduction to Swordsmanship] was downgraded from a required course to an elective.

Li Yang was in a state of dismay, while Chi Yanhong, who was wearing a white Taoist robe, held his forehead and shook his head.
It is hard to imagine that these guys will be teaching students in the near future.

That’s right, many of these courses were taught by the four little ones, and Li Yang and Chi Yanhong actually taught very few.
