Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 6 Begins

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "That's possible."

Seeing that he shared the same idea as himself, Wei Xu suddenly became confident and said, "In that case, we must not..."

"But it's unlikely."

I only heard Zhou Qing speak slowly.

Wei Xu's breath got stuck in his throat, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He said gloomily, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Qing held up two fingers and said, "There are two reasons."

Wei Xu was greatly surprised and thought to himself, I couldn't even think of one reason, but he could come up with two in the blink of an eye. Is he really a genius?

He was a little unconvinced and asked, "What two reasons?"

Zhou Qing said slowly, "First, if you want to use this method to test one's character, there is a prerequisite. The Immortal Seedling being tested must not know that it is a test, otherwise it will not work."

"If the person being tested guesses that this might be a test, no matter how much he loves worldly pleasures, for the sake of cultivating immortality, wouldn't he be able to resist even a moment?"

"So the test falls apart and doesn't do anything."

"Perhaps some immortal master used this method in the past, but now that it has spread and is known to almost everyone, I don't think anyone will use it again."

"Otherwise, it's not a test of character, but a test of who can better guess the Immortal Master's thoughts. It's a battle of scheming."

Wei Xu and Wang Xiaohu both nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Zhou Qing's words made sense.

Wang Xiaohu was fine, but Wei Xu was a little annoyed, thinking, these principles are not that difficult, why can't I think of it?

He thought again of the debate about cause and effect just now, and gradually began to understand some of its implications.

He had a strong awe for the world of immortal cultivation. This awe imprisoned him, causing him to subconsciously accept any rumors about the world of immortal cultivation without thinking of refutation.

Wei Xu discovered that it was not just him, but all the immortal seedlings in the Immortal Tower were like this, otherwise everyone would not be at a loss and not know what to do.

But the Zhou Qing in front of him was different.

His thoughts seemed unconstrained.

Wei Xu could feel that Zhou Qing had a strong obsession with cultivating immortals. If he didn't have that obsession, he wouldn't have insisted on taking the test three times in a row.

But this obsession did not make him blindly follow the various rumors in the world of immortal cultivation.

Wei Xu admired this kind of proud and independent spirit.

He said, "There is another reason. Could Brother Zhou please explain it to us?"

His voice rose a little.

Because he found that the immortals at other tables had also noticed the situation on their side and were seeking Zhou Qing's help, he turned up the volume so that others could hear the noise.

Zhou Qing also noticed that everyone was listening to his speech, but he didn't care.

The reason why he suddenly became high-profile, first complimenting Wei Xu, and then talking freely without hiding his shortcomings, was also because of his considerations.

When traveling in the world, personality is very important.

As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

A nickname often represents a person's personality in the world, and it will guide others' expectations of that person.

On the other hand, Zhou Qing thought that he could also intentionally create a personality to guide others to form a prejudice against him, thus making his future life more convenient.

Zhou Qing began to understand the Master's embarrassed expression during the test just now.

He understood that the immortal master must have overheard his banter with Wang Xiaohu. The immortal master disdained his scarcity of spiritual roots, yet took pity on his unique insights into cultivation, so he reluctantly accepted him into his fold.

If that's the case, why doesn't he build a character based on this?

A person who is gifted, likes to brag, but has too little talent to pose a threat to others.

Such a person will not arouse hostility from others. At the same time, if someone really wants to harm him, this kind of personality will lower the other person's vigilance, which is very helpful for him to protect himself.

At the same time, the intelligence and understanding that one displays may also arouse some love for talents in people's hearts, just like the immortal master in this test.

If I go to the world of cultivating immortals and cannot practice successfully for the time being, this love for talent may make Qingyun Sect more tolerant of me, so that I will have more opportunities to overcome the problem of not being able to practice.

So Zhou Qing didn't hold back because of everyone's attention. Instead, he raised his voice slightly and said, "As for the second reason..."

"One's character isn't static, so there's no way a single test can determine one's entire life."

"I heard that cultivating one's mind and character is also a part of the immortal path. Since we have entered the Qingyun Sect, I believe the sect will not only be responsible for our Qi training, but also for our mind training."

"So I guess the Immortal Master set up this pleasure den not to test us, but to hone us."

Chen Qingxuan looked at Zhou Qing in surprise.

He only said a few words at the beginning of the banquet, instructing the city lord to provide all the fairy seedlings with all kinds of enjoyment, and then he sat alone in the corner, stroking the jade flute.

He doesn't speak on his own initiative, and others don't dare to disturb him.

It was not until Zhou Qing delivered a grand speech, whose views coincided with his own original intentions, that he looked over in surprise, and then found that the immortal seedlings had moved their seats and sat next to Zhou Qing.

It's like the moon surrounded by stars.

Zhou Qing sat in the middle and talked freely, while the others listened attentively. It was a bit like the scene in Qingyun Sect, where the eldest senior brother would go on stage to give a sermon and all the disciples would listen attentively.

This guy hasn't even gotten started yet, but he already has the demeanor of a senior brother.

Chen Qingxuan laughed secretly in his heart.

"Brother Zhou, why are you training us?"

The one who spoke was Nie Yunxi.

She was also one of those who could not figure out the Immortal Master's thoughts and was therefore at a loss. When she heard Zhou Qing's discussion, she listened attentively for a while and found that what Zhou Qing said made sense, so she moved her seat to the side and listened attentively.

At this time, when Zhou Qing came to the key point, he suddenly paused to drink tea to moisten his throat. She felt anxious and blurted out something, but then she felt shy for her recklessness, smiled apologetically, and stopped talking.

Zhou Qing glanced at everyone's faces and said, "The path to immortality is elusive. Every step forward is filled with countless difficulties. Without a strong and resolute will, how can one reach the peak of the immortal path?"

"The desire for worldly pleasures is the most powerful force that can shake a person's will."

"Many of us immortal seedlings are from poor families. We long for the pleasures of the world, but we don't have the opportunity to enjoy them."

"This unattainable desire is like a poisonous snake, lurking in our hearts. It's not a big deal at ordinary times, but when we haven't improved our realm for many years and feel lost and hesitant, when we witness the cruelty of the immortal world and feel timid, when we feel bored by the monotony of cultivation."

"At this moment, when we think of the many pleasures in the secular world, can we still remember our original obsession with seeking immortality?"

"Rather than letting this poisonous snake hinder your practice in the future, it is better to let you enjoy it at the beginning. After you have seen it, it will be easier to let it go."

"So I say this is a training exercise, the purpose of which is to allow everyone to both enter and exit the joys of this world."

"Then it will be easier to practice."

This discussion shocked everyone. On the top floor of Huixian Tower, only the waiters and the invited beauties deliberately lowered their voices, and all the immortals were speechless.

After a while, Wang Xiaohu swallowed his saliva and asked, "Brother Zhou Qing, does that mean we can enjoy it without worry?!"
