Sword Daoist Lesser Yaoguais
Description
Every ten years, the Temple of Yellowflowers opens its doors to recruit disciples.
One day, a newly admitted young Daoist discovered that the disciples focued on innate practice were divided into three different groups based on their skills. One group used staffs, another used fly-whisks, and the third used swords.
The young Daoist observed them closely and noticed that the disciples who used staffs and fly-whisks were also responsible for various chores around the temple and had less favorable living conditions. In contrast, the disciples who used swords only needed to focus on their training and they were even previledged to receive daily guidance from the master. The young Daoist secretly consulted the senior disciples and found out that the sword disciples were also the quickest to achieve enlightenment and asension.
However, becoming a disciple of the sword group was no easy task. It required passing a rigorous examination by the master, and only those deemed to have the highest potential were given the opportunity. The young Daoist visited each senior disciple, noting down the questions the master had asked them in the past, and made thorough preparations. Eventually, he succeeded in his endeavor, winning first place. The master personally tied his hair into a topknot and bestowed upon him a sword.
From the moment he joined the sword group, he woke up early every day to train under the supervision of the 
Commander Beetle. In the afternoons, he strengthened his Qi under the master’s guidance. Though the life was monotonous and arduous, he was very content.
After more than a decade of rigorous cultivation, the disciples of sword group finally earned the master’s approval.
The master informed them that their skills were now proficient enough for them to enter the mountains for secluded meditation. If they were fortunate enough, they could achieve their ascension.
Poetry
To seek the Dao, he journeys far,
With steadfast heart, he finds the gate.
In the depths of sword skills,
He glimpses roots of asension’s innate.
