Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Talent Test.
"Elder He, we have missed the talent test. But for your sake, we can make some concessions. However, only those who can pass the test can be included in the list. Elder He, please don't make it difficult for us on this point."
The people in charge of test registration are also in a difficult situation.
In theory, they all have some connections in the major sects. From time to time, some relatives would bring people to take talent tests. Those who passed the test would be recorded in the list, and these lists would be sent to the major sects on time.
Whenever a sect came to select new disciples or outer disciples, they would choose from these lists.
He Wenfeng was an elder of Yaoyue Sect after all, and the people he brought were qualified for the test. But for a mortal like Qin Zhou, who was known to have no talent, he could not pass the test, and it was not allowed to be directly recorded in the roster by using a backdoor.
"Don't worry, we're just giving him a chance to test. If he fails, we won't make it difficult for him." He Wenfeng said calmly. He was the only one who knew that Young Master Qin didn't want to join any sect.
But since I'm here, of course I have to come here to avenge my previous humiliation.
"Then follow me." The man looked at Qin Zhou and Chen San. Obviously, he had no expectations of Qin Zhou.
The two followed the person in charge of registration into the inner room.
Wen Jue naturally followed.
"You want to take the test too?" The man looked at Wen Jue.
Before Wen Jue could say anything, He Wenfeng quickly tried to smooth things over, "Well, Senior, you just went along to take a look, that's nothing."
senior?
The person in charge of the test changed his expression. If the elders of Yaoyue Sect all called him "senior"...
"I am sorry for talking too much. Please forgive me, Senior."
Wen Jue raised his fan and didn't care.
It is called an inner room, but in fact it is a transparent room.
There was a table in front of the house, and there was a piece of stone embedded in the middle of the table, which happened to contain an instrument for testing spiritual roots.
A spherical stone. Like the black jadeite Qin Zhou had seen before. The stone was completely black, but if it was facing the light, it would show some other color.
"Chen San, you go first. Place your palms on the stone and breathe out evenly." The man looked at the two of them and finally said.
"Master, then I..."
Qin Zhou nodded.
Just stood aside and watched Chen San test his talent quietly.
Although there are many similar plots in novels I have seen before, it is still inevitable to feel novel when I see it with my own eyes.
"That's the Thousand Machine Stone."
Qin Zhou turned his head. Wen Jue was talking about the stone on the table.
"The talent test used to be much more difficult than it is now. Only those who can attract natural spiritual energy are called spiritual roots. Even if they do nothing but stand there, the natural spiritual energy of water, fire, grass and trees will be attracted to them. Only people like that can be said to have spiritual roots."
"Later, someone discovered the Thousand Machine Stone. It can see the will of heaven and resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It was used as a spiritual tool for ordinary people to test their spiritual roots and talents."
Qin Zhou: "Seeing God's will?"
"Prophecy." Wen Jue seemed to have thought of something, and said in a mocking tone, "There is a Thousand Machines Sect in the upper realm, which uses the Thousand Machines Stone to tell fortunes. It tells the fate of heaven and earth, and also the fate of people. Unfortunately, they have comprehended everything, but they cannot comprehend the meaning of the words 'heavenly secrets cannot be revealed'."
"What will happen if we continue to use the Thousand Machine Stone to spy on the secrets of heaven?"
"The soul is damaged and reduced to ashes." Therefore, the Qianji Divine Sect did not produce anything but a group of short-lived ghosts.
Qin Zhou's eyes dimmed.
"Although this is the case, the Qianji Divine Sect has benefited the upper and lower worlds for thousands of years. The predecessors have exchanged their lives for the prosperity and stability of the cultivation world, which is also worthy of our admiration."
As soon as these words were spoken, both of them looked towards the person in charge of registering for the test.
I didn't notice it just now, but now I see clearly that this disciple is wearing a blue shirt, a very iconic color. Moreover, he is also responsible for testing and operating the Thousand Machine Stone.
"Are you a disciple of Qianji Divine Sect?" Wen Jue asked.
"No. There is only one Thousand Machines Sect in the universe, and I am from the Heavenly Star Sect in the lower realm. My sect elder is now a disciple of the Thousand Machines Sect. Therefore, my Heavenly Star Sect has received their favor." The man looked at Wen Jue, and at first glance he couldn't tell what sect he was from. But from what Wen Jue said, he didn't show much respect for the Thousand Machines Sect, so he couldn't help but ask, "What sect are you from, senior?"
"I am just a casual cultivator."
"Living like a wandering cloud or a wild crane is also free." Qin Zhou added.
At this time, Chen San finally got the result.
The Thousand Machine Stone was rendered with colored ink. After a few words, the entire Thousand Machine Stone had completely changed color, between dark blue and purple, with the purple light being lighter. But even just like this, it was already extraordinary.
When the Tianxing Sect disciple saw this, he hurried over and said to Chen San: "You...are extremely talented. For ordinary people, if they can dye the Thousand Machine Stone into emerald green, they are qualified, and if they can dye it blue or above, they are excellent. Your Thousand Machine Stone is slightly purple, which is already an excellent talent."
What the Tianxing Sect disciples did not say was that with a talent like Chen San, if he participated in the talent test held every four years, he would probably be one of the best.
Chen San was delighted and turned around and said, "Master."
Qin Zhou nodded.
This result was within his expectations. However, judging from the expressions of the Tianxing Sect disciples, Chen San's talent of 3.2 was probably already very high.
"You can be recorded in the register. Is there any sect you want to go to? I will register it for you, and after you hand in the list, there will be a result."
Chen San looked at Qin Zhou.
Qin Zhou: "Yaoyue Sect, right?"
The disciples of Tianxing Sect nodded. They were originally brought by Elder He Wenfeng, so there was nothing to worry about.
After Chen San, we arrived at Qinzhou.
Qin Zhou walked forward without thinking.
When the palm of his hand touched the Thousand Machine Stone, a cool feeling instantly came from his palm. Soon, the color of the Thousand Machine Stone began to change gradually.
After a while, the results came out.
"It's pure purple!" The horrified voice of the Tianxing Sect disciple penetrated the beams of the house.
That's not right. It hasn't been long since the last talent test. How could Qin Zhou go from having no talent to having a rare purple talent all of a sudden?
The Thousand Machine Stone cannot be broken.
That is...
The first person that Tianxing Sect disciples thought of was Wen Jue. If there was such a senior leading him, then there was a reason why Qin Zhou could be so talented.
A casual cultivator from the upper realm.
After being shocked, he was more envious. He didn't know what made Qin Zhou so outstanding that he was favored by the seniors in the upper realm.
"Congratulations, purple is a rare talent, one in a million among mortals." The Tianxing Sect disciple took a deep breath, holding a brush in hand to register Qin Zhou, and asked: "Do you have a sect you want to join?"
"No."
The Tianxing Sect disciple was stunned, "Then...?"
“No need to register.”
Qin Zhou looked at the sky outside and thought, if the Thousand Machine Stone could really reach the sky, then Young Master Qin would be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish in heaven.
…
Qin Zhou came out of the toilet and returned to the gate of "Gongyuan". Only Chen San was waiting for him.
"Master, Senior Wen said he went to buy some candied haws and will be back in the shop soon. Elder He also went back to Yaoyue Sect first."
The purchase of candied haws was fake, I'm afraid something happened to him.
"Yeah. Let's go back."
Now he has also passed the civil service exam successfully.
Unfortunately, he has no plans to report to any unit.
For now, let’s focus on doing a good job in the medicine business.
Suddenly, Qin Zhou thought of something and asked, "Chen San, do you eat candied haws?"
Chen San was stunned. "Tanghulu? I... don't eat it much. It's just that my little brother likes it. Sometimes when I get my monthly salary, I will buy it for him."
"Children love to eat." Qin Zhou's eyes were dark. The children he raised before also loved to eat.
He seemed to be hinting at something, but Chen San didn't quite understand.
Well, if you want to buy it, then buy it.
…
Of course, Wen Jue didn't go there to buy candied haws.
He left the provincial capital and went deep into the bamboo forest outside the city.
He held a fan in his hand and walked in on his own.
Behind him, the bamboo leaves rustled in the wind, and someone was following him.
Finally, deep in the bamboo forest, there was an open space.
Wen Jue finally stopped, turned around and said, "I've been following you all the way, but you still haven't shown up."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure passed through the bamboo forest and slowly appeared in Wen Jue's sight.
Yin and Yang, between black and white, the head of the immortal way, the Cang Yun Sword Sect.
Wen Jue was very familiar with this outfit.
The person who came was also an old friend.
The Grand Master of the Cangyun Sword Sect, the Grand Master of the Sword Dao known as the Cangyun Sword Immortal—
Lu 2.
"Wen Jue."
"I've come out of quarantine."
"The Millennium War is about to begin, so I naturally have to come out of seclusion to meet an old friend." Lu Er's tone was cold. Although they were old friends, his eyes were still cold towards Wen Jue. "But you, with the battle between immortals and demons imminent, still have time to come down to the lower world to talk about love."
"Which eye of yours saw me talking about love?" Wen Jue suddenly laughed, "Oh, could it be that you really believe the letter your disciple named Jiang Huan sent you? What did the letter say? My weak spot, my Taoist partner, a mortal at the second level of Qi Refining?"
"What did you do to Jiang Huan?" Lu Er frowned.
"Of course... I can't kill him." Wen Jue looked at him and said sarcastically, "Your son tried his best to protect him, but I gave him a good lesson."
Lu Er: “…”
"You people from the Cang Yun Sword Sect are really smart. You sent your little disciple to be a spy for your son." Wen Jue sighed, "What do you think he went to investigate? Is he investigating your old relationship with Lu Qi?"
The master's face changed at this time because of Wen Jue's sharp words. He raised his voice and warned: "Lu Yi."
"If the immortals and demons want to fight, then let them. But I have to remind you to keep your Sword Sect's people under control and don't come to the lower realm to cause me any unhappiness." Wen Jue's eyes were also serious, "If anything happens to Qinzhou, I will blame it all on the Cangyun Sword Sect."
Wen Jue's warning made Lu Er frown, "Who is he?"
When Jiang Huan sent the message back, he didn't believe it at all. Even now, Lu Er still didn't believe it. It was too absurd for Wen Jue to have a Taoist partner. But every word of Wen Jue clearly revealed that the mortal was indeed special.
Wen Jue narrowed his eyes, "My people."
Lu Er: “…”
"I don't have time to argue with you." Lu Er couldn't fight him. If nothing else, with their strength, a fight in the lower world would surely bring disaster to all.
So, this meeting is just to meet old friends.
Then they parted unhappily.
