It seemed that several people had been rejected by this old monk, and their faces looked dejected.
Gu Heng could understand their feelings.
After all, in this world, the survival of mortals depends entirely on luck. Becoming a cultivator is the first step to being able to control one's own destiny with strength. If you can't even get started, then there will definitely be no hope in the future.
"…You don't have the talent, next one."
The old monk took the pulse of a strong man. After a while, he waved his hand and drove the strong man away.
But the strong man seemed unconvinced. He felt that he must have a talent for cultivation, so he continued to stay there and said, "Master, please take a closer look. With my physique, I can carry a cow without any problem! How can I not be able to--"
"Bang!"
Before he could finish his words, he felt like he was hit in the abdomen by a heavy hammer and flew out, knocking down a few thin guys in the process.
"Get away from me! If you get in my way, you'll be punished with death!"
The old monk glanced over coldly.
The sturdy man covered his stomach and didn't even have the courage to get up. He could only lie on the ground and quickly leave. There were a few people who originally wanted to come over to watch the fun, but they all retracted their necks and walked away.
They don't want to anger this old man. Losing face is secondary, losing life is the most important thing.
This old man is so cruel.
Moreover, he didn't even move a muscle just now, and the burly man flew backwards like a rag doll...
There is no doubt that this is the method used by monks that mortals like them cannot understand!
"No, next one."
The old monk felt the pulse of the other young man, and then drove him away impatiently. Apparently, the experience of that strong man was quite impressive, so the young man who was told no this time just left.
"This damn place is really full of useless people, but no one with a promising future, ah..."
The old monk sighed and muttered for a long time, and he was also very disappointed.
His job is really a thankless job.
It is true that the East Xinjiang Alliance needs to recruit new people with potential, train them, and then fight against the demon army, but the new people they really need are not his responsibility.
How could he be so worthy of such a task? He was just an old gold coin in the Nascent Soul stage, and he didn't even know when it would be exploded. How could he really be sent to recruit those newcomers with huge potential?
Besides, can you see truly talented people with great potential in a place like this?
Even if there were some geniuses who had not been discovered, they had definitely been recruited by people sent out by several extraordinary forces. It was impossible for him, a casual cultivator who was like a fortune teller in the martial arts world, to have any work results when he raised a flag and started to set up a stage wherever he went.
All I can say is that I just need to pretend to be worthy of the salary paid by the East Xinjiang Alliance.
But, that doesn't mean these people are really rubbish.
But he tested dozens of people, and everyone's foundation was very weak. Either their meridians were too fragile, or their Dantian was weak, their Tao roots were also very poor, and some were so poor that they couldn't even do the most basic Qi-drawing into the body...
To be honest, it would be a waste of money to recruit and train such people, and sending them to fight against the demons is even more unrealistic.
You might as well do something good, let them give up their unrealistic fantasies, and do what they should do.
At least, if you stay here, your life will be safe.
"...Next."
After the old monk finished speaking, it was Gu Heng who came forward this time.
Gu Heng's idea was very simple. He himself was definitely a cultivator, but he only needed the help of this old cultivator to figure out what his current level of cultivation was. That was enough.
As for actually working for the East Frontier Alliance?Oh, forget it. We should live a good life, why bother to do something that is beyond our capabilities?
"Please take a look."
Gu Heng stood in front of the old monk. The old monk slowly raised his eyes, glanced at him a few times, and then took Gu Heng's pulse again. After just a short time, he let go.
"No, next one."
Here comes another purest "mortal".
The old monk had seen this kind of person before. He only needed to feel the pulse to detect it and found that it was completely ordinary, with no Taoist roots. Almost every part of his body could be said to be that of a standard mortal, a mortal with no possibility of any cultivation.
Those mentioned above can be said to have extremely low talents and defects.
The one in front of me is the type who doesn't even have any talent, let alone flaws or abilities.
But this time, Gu Heng refused to do it.
He can't?
How is that possible!
The system has unlocked the "cultivation function" for him. Even if he has just started out and is not up to par, he will definitely not be evaluated as "unsuccessful".
Unless the system deceives him, the system will do many things to affect his mentality, but it will not deceive him.
Since he can practice, it means that he can really practice, his talent should not be bad, and the system has not treated him unfairly, but... Gu Heng doesn't dare to say that his talent is really strong.
"Old man, are you seeing things? How could I be so untalented?"
Gu Heng argued hastily.
Everyone around immediately took a few steps back, because they knew that this stubborn guy would end up flying backwards and chewing the dirt, so it was best to stay away from him to avoid getting into trouble.
But what happened next was a bit strange... The old monk just suddenly looked up and stared at Gu Heng without doing anything.
Everyone around who thought there was going to be a good show was stunned. Gu Heng was a little unsure because he didn't know if he would be knocked away like the last guy, and the old monk himself was even more stunned.
What's going on?
Why did the vibrations of his spiritual power have no effect on this mortal?
indeed.
When Gu Heng questioned him, the old monk didn't even think twice and wanted to knock the ungrateful mortal in front of him away, but his Taoist power did not have any effect on him at all!
It was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing completely.
What is...going on?
"Could it be that he really has the aptitude to practice cultivation?"
The old monk's eyes widened and his gaze flickered.
Even if one has talent for cultivation, it is divided into different levels. The most extraordinary talents, such as being born with a certain physique for cultivation, or being blessed by good fortune, mean that they have been "cultivating" since the moment they came out of the womb, but they themselves do not know it.
However, some talents are too powerful to be easily seen.
At least, it is absolutely impossible to do it just by relying on the so-called method of feeling the pulse.
The old monk's heart was immediately lifted.
If you say.
If this mortal in front of him really had some kind of top-notch cultivation talent that he couldn't see... then wouldn't it be a great achievement for him to recruit him to join the East Frontier Alliance? !
Moreover, the old monk felt that this young brother was probably no longer a "mortal"!
