"I'm not eating anymore."
Jun Feijue frowned in disappointment, threw the rest behind him, and got into the car to go directly to the city lord's mansion.
"Hey, miss, you can't just throw things around!"
Seeing this, Jin Yue quickly stepped forward and caught it. After hesitating for a moment, she finally put it in her mouth and ate it.
Once in the car, Di Moyu held Jun Feijue in his arms as usual, to prevent her from getting too jostled and to make it easier for her to fall asleep at any time.
"There are not enough people."
Only then did everyone realize that Ji Fanya had not followed.
Ji Fanya was staring intently at a restaurant called "Dongxinglou" by the roadside, his hands clenched into fists, his innocent face filled with an intense hatred beyond his years.
"Xiaoya, what are you doing? Get in the car quickly."
No one noticed anything amiss, and Jin Yue peeked out and urged them on.
"Oh, here it comes."
Ji Fanya then seemed to wake from a dream, took one last reluctant look at the restaurant, turned around and got into the carriage.
Along the way, Ji Fanya, who always had a soft and cute smile, lowered his head and remained silent for the first time.
However, no one paid any attention.
Cangwu City is not large, and the carriage soon arrived in front of the city lord's mansion.
"Stop right there, what are you doing?"
As soon as Jun Feijue and his group approached, they were immediately stopped by men carrying knives.
"Greetings, gentlemen. We are here to test my young lady's cultivation aptitude."
As Jin Yue spoke, she placed ten copper coins into each of their hands, saying, "Please inform them."
"Okay, wait here."
The two men glanced at the amount of copper coins, then grabbed them with satisfaction and turned to go inside to report.
"Lord City Lord, someone requests an audience."
After the guard went inside, he immediately reported respectfully, "They request to use the Heavenly Strategy Instrument."
"Who are you? Can you afford the price?"
The city lord, seated high in the main seat, didn't even open his eyes, and asked the question with complete indifference.
"Uh...they..."
The guard hesitated for a moment, then recalled the characteristics of Jun Feijue and the others, describing them as follows: "There were four of them in total: two children, a boy, a maid, one dressed in black, one carrying a black sword, and one carrying a black pot..."
"Damn, what the hell is this black?
Hearing the guard's words, the city lord waved his hand impatiently and said, "Ask him. If he has enough money, let him in; if not, kick him out."
"yes."
The guard felt wronged, but he didn't say anything. He just responded and left.
Before long, Jun Feijue and the others were brought before Tian Ceyi.
It was a huge bronze circular compass, divided into four sections, with the characters for Yellow, Black, Earth, and Heaven imprinted inside in a clockwise direction. Each section had three major markings, and a huge pointer was placed in the very center.
"This is the Heavenly Strategy Instrument."
The person in charge of the test explained briefly, "A person's cultivation aptitude can be divided into four levels from low to high: Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven. Each level is further divided into three segments: low, medium, and high. When the results come out, you can tell your aptitude level by looking at the position of the pointer and the scale."
"I see, thank you very much, brother."
As Jin Yue spoke, she thanked him and handed him a silver coin, saying, "Please test our young lady first."
"Those who want to be tested, come over here."
The person in charge accepted the silver coins and pointed to the square with a handprint engraved next to the Tian Ce Yi, saying, "Put your hand on it and stay still."
"What's the principle behind this?"
Jun Feijue stepped forward and did as instructed, but in his mind he was questioning the heavens and earth.
"This Heavenly Strategy Instrument temporarily introduces the profound energy between heaven and earth into your body, and then judges your cultivation aptitude based on your affinity for the profound energy."
