“…”

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Top-grade spirit stones? Who can afford this?

There are also people who come from other sects and forces. Because their own sects are not strong enough to cultivate such geniuses, they are sent to the Taichu Sword Sect to take the entrance examination.

Although high-grade spirit stones are scarce, they are not short of them. What they really lack is the jade token!

"Okay! I'll buy it!"

Immediately, a dark-faced young man stepped forward and, to show his sincerity, he opened his storage bag and let Jiang Deng look inside. "Look, I have fifty-two jade tokens. I want to buy five."

Upon hearing this, the skinny monkey, who had always been at odds with the black-faced boy, rushed over and said, "I have fifty-three jade tokens. I want to buy five too!"

"You!" The dark-faced boy's face became even darker with anger. "Sun Fei, are you deliberately going against me?"

"Hmph, you're too self-indulgent. I'm trying to get into the top ten, so why should I care about you? Auntie, I'll buy ten more jade tokens!"

“Then I’ll buy it too!”

…

Looking at the long queue, Jiang Deng smiled proudly.

She asked everyone to report the number of jade pendants when buying them. One reason was to make them be like these two people, so that they would not be surpassed by their competitors and compete with each other in buying jade pendants, thus draining their wallets to the maximum extent.

Another reason... is naturally to calculate how many jade cards these people have, so as to figure out how many jade cards he should keep in order to get the first place in this assessment.

The one hundred jade tokens were quickly sold out.

Jiang Deng also deduced the number of jade tokens Leng Baige currently had in his hand based on everyone's counts.

Leng Baige is a rabbit spirit and it is impossible for him to hunt weak herbivores. In this primeval forest, there are not many powerful carnivorous beasts, and the jade tokens that can be obtained from them are even fewer.

If he only relied on snatching the jade tokens of those who took the entrance examination together, Leng Baige's jade tokens would never exceed forty, which would give Jiang Deng a great opportunity...

Not only Jiang Deng would calculate the number of jade plaques everyone had, but those who had bought jade plaques were also calculating the number of jade plaques of other competitors, which made them even more anxious.

"Sister Deng, please sell us some more jade tokens! You have so many jade tokens anyway. Even if you sell another hundred, you'll still be the first in the entrance exam!"

Seeing everyone's sincere expressions, Jiang Deng could only nod reluctantly, "Okay then... I'll sell you ten more jade tokens."

"Ten is too few! It's not even enough to fill our stomachs. Please give us a few more!"

"Sister Deng, please, please increase it a little more..."

"Don't even mention calling me auntie. If you're willing to sell me a few more jade tokens, I'll even call you grandma!"

…

Jiang Deng sighed, "Fifty at most. I have to share the remaining jade tokens with my sister."

The skinny monkey took the initiative to say, "Auntie, how about this, can you raise the price? Two high-grade spirit stones in exchange for a jade token? As long as you are willing to sell me a few more jade tokens!"

Under the pleading of the crowd, Jiang Deng acted very reluctantly and said, "Alright, then I'll exchange two high-grade spirit stones for one jade token. I'll take out 101 jade tokens and sell them to you, but this time each of you can only buy a maximum of ten jade tokens."

"Okay, okay! I'll buy it!"

Suddenly, everyone rushed forward again.

Of course, there were also people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, snatch Jiang Deng's jade tokens and run away. After all, Jiang Deng had so many jade tokens in his hands, which made them very jealous!

Um……

Anyone who had this idea was ruthlessly suppressed by Jiang Deng. Not only was the opponent eliminated, but the jade tokens in their hands were also confiscated by Jiang Deng and sold.

Everyone was very happy holding the heavy jade tokens, and planned to find a safe place in the forest and hide until the end of the entrance examination.

"etc."

Jiang Deng's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Everyone turned around at the same time, and then saw that under Jiang Deng's command, Jiang Zhiling set up a stall, took out a dead wild boar from the storage bag, and started to barbecue it skillfully.

Because wild boars were frequently active during their lifetime, the meat was firm and had less fat, without any fishy smell. Combined with the spices that Jiang Deng brought specially from the Jiang Mansion, the fragrance immediately filled the air!

After staying in the primeval forest for half a day, the people who took the entrance test were already hungry. They had been holding back before, but now that they smelled the fragrance, how could they hold back anymore?

Everyone swallowed in unison, their stomachs growling.

Jiang Deng had already taken in everyone's reactions and smiled slightly, "Roasted wild boar meat is on sale! One low-grade spirit stone per skewer, first come, first served!"

"I want it, I want it!"

This price was much more affordable than the jade pendant that Jiang Deng had just sold. Not to mention the disciples from big families, even some not-so-rich independent cultivators all rushed to buy it.

For a moment, everyone forgot about the assessment, and their minds and eyes were filled with the delicious barbecue. Some people even thought Jiang Zhiling was grilling too slowly, so they simply paid and grilled it themselves.

The group picnic began like this.

Because the barbecue was so delicious, the senior brothers of Taichu Sword Sect who relied on fasting pills to make a living every day were envious. Even the senior brothers who were hiding aside and responsible for maintaining order in the examination could not help but pay for two skewers.

In the end, this entrance examination had to end early in this ridiculous way.

After eating and drinking, the brothers activated the teleportation array and took the young people present out of the primeval forest and back to the square behind the mountain gate.

The square is located on the hillside of the main peak. It seems as if a mountain top has been cut off by a sword, presenting a flat terrain that can accommodate tens of thousands of disciples.

Looking up, there are seven pillars standing at the end of the sight. The pillars are about ten feet long, and spiritual energy is swirling on the surface. The sect master and five peak masters are sitting cross-legged on the top, looking down at the disciples in the field.

"Come, everyone, line up here and hand in your jade tokens. Once the senior brothers have counted the number of jade tokens each person has received, they will list the candidates who have passed the entrance examination. Please be patient." Wen Yan said with a smile as he stood in the center of the square.

After hearing Wen Yan's reminder, everyone who participated in the entrance examination lined up to register and handed over the jade cards in their hands. Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling were no exception.

When it was Jiang Deng's turn, she simply dropped the jade tokens from her storage bag onto the table. A small mountain of white jade instantly appeared on the tabletop. "Ninety-one for Jiang Deng, ninety for Jiang Zhiling."

The senior brother who was in charge of recording the number of jade cards was shaking a little. Those who had been recorded before never had so many jade cards. If nothing unexpected happened, these two should be the first and second place, right?

Wen Yan was the quickest to react. He nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, please ask the two junior sisters to step aside and wait for the results to be announced."
