Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1934 - 1936: Constitution Issues

Gao Qiang was puzzled by his comrade’s response, "You actually know Luohua?"

"Of course I know," An Hejun replied excitedly, "These years I’ve still been practicing martial arts... it’s martial arts, not killing skills. I’ve heard more than one person say that Luohua’s martial techniques are formidable. I’ve also heard they can cure cancer!"

Seeing that he was so clear, Gao Qiang spoke even more directly, "I’ve gotten you this opportunity, but there are surely some taboo things, so you should be mentally prepared."

"That’s not a problem," An Hejun answered straightforwardly, "But Brother Qiang, you know my temper. I would absolutely not do anything against humanity or betray my country."

No wonder he has a military background; he speaks everything clearly and has very proper values.

"What nonsense," Gao Qiang cursed at him, "Do you think that Brother Qiang would make such mistakes?"

Gao Qiang and Gazi found the right candidate, and others weren’t slow either. The Little Celestial Master brought a little junior sister, a girl who had been frail and sickly since childhood. She once stayed at Maoshan for recuperation, which formed a connection with the place, but later her family moved away, and the girl left as well.

When the Maoshan Spiritual Spring reopened, this girl named Jiang Liping returned, but the spring couldn’t completely cure her body. Now, she’s even taking a leave from school due to health reasons.

She once asked the Little Celestial Master how she could get better, and Tang Wenji told her clearly that her condition was congenitally insufficient. There was a very expensive wine called Sansheng Wine; she could try it when she had an episode.

But Jiang Liping dejectedly expressed that she was allergic to alcohol.

Tang Wenji had quite a few people to recommend, Jiang Liping wasn’t at the top, but Feng Jun had excluded Maoshan disciples, so the Little Celestial Master’s options were limited. Among them, Jiang Liping seemed especially pitiable.

In essence, it was because Tang Wenji knew Jiang Liping very well. They had played together from six to sixteen, making them childhood friends.

The key was that the little girl listened to her very well; when the Little Celestial Master recommended someone, they preferred obedient ones whom they knew well.

The conditions of Jiang Liping’s family were decent, so Tang Wenji didn’t talk about salary issues. She just said that the place is Luohua, living there would already be a great benefit, not to mention the possible opportunities, but... that place emphasizes loyalty a lot.

Jiang Liping actually had heard a lot about these things, including that Tang Wenji had become an Innate Expert, which she had also heard of, and as for Luohua—the Maoshan disciples, who came in all meteorological patterns, mentioned Luohua with admiration.

So she straightforwardly expressed, "Thank you, Sister Wenji, for getting me this spot. I will surely repay the favor!"

Besides that, Lin Heihu recommended Yin Mingyue, Yu Qingzhu recommended Yu Zuosi, who was a cousin of her great-grandfather’s, and Sister Hong recommended a fifteen-year-old girl named Ge Mingxia.

Zhang Caixin knew who Ge Mingxia was; she was a girl that Sister Hong had adopted. The girl’s father was a hooligan who had helped Sister Hong solve trouble twice, but later he got into trouble and fled the country, eventually dying in a gang battle abroad.

Anyway, this hooligan wasn’t too bad and was quite loyal, just hot-headed and hard-fighting; otherwise, he wouldn’t have died.

Before his death, he asked someone to tell Sister Hong that he hoped she could help take care of his daughter because the girl’s mother was also from the red-light district and definitely couldn’t raise the child well.

Sure enough, after he died, the woman lost her source of income and went out fooling around again. There was a time when the child had a high fever for three days and nearly lost her life, so Sister Hong had to take the child in to look after her.

The girl’s mother took the opportunity to follow her desires. Initially, she wanted to extort a few ten thousand as a transfer fee from Sister Hong, but after learning about Sister Hong’s influence, she came to express gratitude and then disappeared without a trace.

Up till now, Sister Hong has been raising Ge Mingxia for nine years. In the first four years, Ge Mingxia was living with Sister Hong, but later Sister Hong encountered some issues and was worried she couldn’t take care of her—as after all, Old Ge also had enemies—so she let the nanny take her back home for fostering instead.

The nanny had her own children but knew not to provoke Ge Mingxia due to Sister Hong’s influence, though after all, she wasn’t her biological child, so there were certainly differences. Fortunately, a year later Ge Mingxia started middle school and began living on campus.

In short, this is a girl about to graduate from middle school, living a tough life due to a broken family. If it weren’t for Sister Hong’s financial support, who knows what she would have become.

Even so, Ge Mingxia didn’t want to attend high school. She hoped to become independent as soon as possible, and she was already quite good at taking care of herself. This time, she finally contacted Sister Hong to express her wish.

Zhang Caixin was actually quite surprised by her sister’s choice, so she specifically went to ask, "Is there really no more suitable person?"

"Of course there is," Sister Hong answered without hesitation, "but I don’t want to introduce men... I don’t want him to have any misunderstandings. As for women, Mingxia is more suitable. The last time, it was because she was still young that I didn’t recommend her."

Zhang Caixin furrowed her brows, "But she’s still quite young now."

"She doesn’t want to go to school anymore, and I will have even less time to supervise her in the future," Sister Hong spread her hands and replied naturally, "Haven’t you thought about it? She’ll be very obedient."

Zhang Caixin was ultimately persuaded by her sister. The number of people at the manor was increasing, and Feng Jun stipulated that fellow members should be friendly, but who wouldn’t want more people who listened to them?

In this regard, Little Celestial Master, Sister Hong, and Zhang Caixin had consistent views.

However, these people choosing candidates were not as peculiar as Gu Jiahui. She gathered over thirty people and used an aptitude testing formation to select the most suitable one.

In fact, it wasn’t just thirty-some participants; this was already the second round. The first round had over two hundred people. After various screenings, more than thirty were left for the final test.

Speaking of this, it involved two clans, the Gu Family and the Yang Family. The Gu Family very much wanted to secure a spot, but didn’t the Yang Family want one too?

Strictly speaking, Gu Jiahui bears the Gu surname, but the Gu Family already has someone on the Cultivation Path and should be content.

This reason left the Gu Family people a bit exasperated: Come on, does a daughter really count as the Gu Family?

Okay, we don’t prioritize males over females, but Gu Jiahui was always watched over by Yang Yuxin; psychologically, she would lean towards the Yang Family, wouldn’t she?

Actually, these are all superficial excuses. Who doesn’t know the real reason? Ultimately, both families know Luohua so well, each wants their own to benefit.

Fortunately, in the end, the two families are related by marriage and couldn’t completely fall out. They eventually agreed to a public selection process, and as for the final result... leave it to fate.

The amusing thing was, fate seemed to be playing tricks at this moment, as each family had a candidate with attributes.

Gu Changsheng from the Gu Family was the one who had spoken with Gu Jiahui in advance. He possessed a dual-attribute physique of Gold and Wood, with Wood as the primary attribute.

Yang Yuxi from the Yang Family had the same great-grandfather as Yang Yuxin, and she possessed a dual-attribute physique of Earth and Water, with Water as the primary attribute.

People with attributes constitute less than one percent among common people, and generally, it is the Three Attributes that are predominant. Finding two dual-attribute individuals among the thirty-some people is already extremely rare — even though these two have conflicting attributes.

But the problem now was, from these two people, only one could be chosen. This left both families quite frustrated.

Gu Changsheng asked Gu Jiahui, "Between us, who is more suitable?"

"You should ask who is more problematic," Gu Jiahui sighed with a frown, "They both have dominant attributes that are countered. One is Wood countered by Gold, the other is Water countered by Earth. Can’t there be a mutually generating attribute?"

"I think I might be a bit more suitable?" Yang Yuxi, though not very old, had only been graduated two years from college. She resembled Yang Yuxin about fifty percent, yet while Yang Yuxin exuded luxury with charm, she exuded sweetness with enthusiasm.

Her major was in finance, and after graduating she worked at a bank in the Magic City, but she was also quite interested in Daoist culture, "The dominant attribute also has to consider the receptor, right? My dominant attribute is leaning towards Water, making it quite suitable for K’un cultivation."

Her opponent’s dominant attribute was Wood, which isn’t very suitable for males, but more so for K’un cultivation.

This is like the Crimson Pheonix Sect on the Kunhao Plane, where Fire attribute isn’t suited for K’un cultivation, but Crimson Pheonix forged its own path, though even so, the harmony of Yin and Yang among the Crimson Pheonix disciples is a major concern.

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help himself upon hearing this, "Isn’t this a bit one-sided?"

"Brother Changsheng, it really is this way," Gu Jiahui apologetically answered, "And your secondary attribute suits the receptor, Aunt Yuxi’s secondary attribute isn’t suitable for K’un cultivation. If developed naturally, her Earth attribute will weaken, while your Gold attribute will strengthen."

These Law of Five Elements, generally, the Gu and Yang Families wouldn’t pay much attention to. It was merely because of this opportunity to try their luck that everyone hastily studied up. But even so, they basically understood, and Gu Jiahui’s analysis was indeed justified.

Gu Changsheng couldn’t deny this point and could only smile bitterly, saying, "Jiahui, can’t you recommend both of us?"

"That’s impossible," Gu Jiahui shook her head and answered with surety, "Elder Feng is very particular about the rules of conduct... however, my analysis doesn’t count. Ultimately, the decision still lies with Elder Feng."

Yang Yuxi also knew she hadn’t fully passed the test. She glanced at the Yu Family’s young man not far away, sighed inwardly, and thought how good the Yu Family was; they merely had internal family consultations.

Quite a few potential candidates had been outlined, so someone notified Feng Jun, and Elder Feng summoned them to gather at the Xiuzhen Courtyard.

Shortly after everyone assembled, Feng Jun arrived as well. He first arbitrated between the Gu Family and the Yang Family — Gu Jiahui was indeed accurate; Yang Yuxi’s potential could develop a bit better than Gu Changsheng’s. Of course, as to who should be chosen between the two, that wasn’t his concern.

Then he glanced at Yu Zuosi, speaking without expression, "This person isn’t quite suitable, the Yu Family should find someone else."

Yu Qingzhu said nothing, and after a while, nodded slightly, but didn’t ask why someone else needed to be chosen.
