"The identity of the people from Black Cloud Town..."

While deep in thought, Zhou Qing and his companions returned to the martial arts hall.

"My junior brother and I made this decision, which caused you to lose the opportunity to go to Yujing."

Bai Ruoyue looked at Shen Long and the others and said:

"I will definitely find a chance to make it up to you later."

"Master sister, what are you talking about?" Zhang Yuan said sternly, "Zuo Tianzheng's behavior is unusual and full of doubts. It's better to reject him."

"Besides, he is selecting talents from the entire Black Cloud Town. Apart from you and my junior brother, who else can guarantee that he will be favored by him?"

There are so many young disciples from all parties in Heiyun Town, it is impossible for Zhang Yuantao and his team to be selected by all of them.

"Zuo Tianzheng looks like he's heading for Black Mountain." Bai Ruoyue said:

"The requirement he made, that those he chose must be disciplined by him and obey his orders, makes me feel uneasy."

"So even though I didn't discuss it with Junior Brother in advance, we thought the same thing and rejected him."

"Big sister, are you saying that the people he favors are also likely to be sent to Black Mountain?"

“It’s possible.”

Shen Yu muttered, "That man's lifestyle is so absurd, who knows if anyone wants to listen to him, he might make some excessive demands."

After hearing this, Shen Long suddenly felt a little scared.

"Yes, if our Taibai Martial Arts School also participates in his stupid selection, and my sister is chosen by him, then won't we have to listen to him?"

"Fortunately, you, Junior Brother, rejected Zuo Tianzheng."

Zuo Tianzheng's lifestyle is no secret.

He only has this one sister.

Everyone was talking, but Zhou Qing remained silent, thinking about something.

Bai Ruoyue punched him and said, "Junior brother, why don't you say anything?"

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about what Patriarch Yun said to me."

"When I went to the Shuiyuan Festival last time, Ao Xuanwei told me that the mountain god would give me a test in the future. I am from Heiyun Town and I am qualified to participate."

"There should be a connection between what Patriarch Yun said and the idea that Zuo Tianzheng suddenly proposed."

"This identity as a Black Cloud Town resident may bring us some benefits in the future. It is related to the mountain god."

"I'm afraid Zuo Tianzheng's move today was for this reason. He used the excuse of selecting talents to interfere with the benefits that the talents in Black Cloud Town should have the opportunity to get in touch with."

"Then he has bad intentions." Bai Ruoyue said angrily.

"Not really. Since he dared to swear to make a promise, I guess he will not break his promise when he returns to Beijing. He will definitely bring a few people back with him."

"As long as one of our disciples can enter the Emperor's Academy, all the forces will definitely be satisfied, and they may even be happy about it."

It is hard to say which is more valuable: entering Yujing and receiving training from Da Qi, or gaining benefits from the mountain god. It depends on the individual.

Zhou Qing shook his head. "But whether I can return to Beijing with him in the end is too uncertain. It's entirely up to him."

"If he says someone is disobedient afterwards, it would be easy to deprive them of their qualifications."

"In this case, Zuo Tianzheng won't target us in the future, right?"

"Be careful and don't be careless."

At night, Zhou Qing told Lu Qingmo about this matter, and he shared the same opinion, thinking that Zuo Tianzheng's move was actually aimed at Montenegro.

"You chose not to get involved in this matter, which was the right choice."

"When we return to Yujing, with Zuo Tianzheng's help and the talents he has chosen, it shouldn't be a problem for them to enter the Emperor's Academy."

Having said that, Lu Qingmo shook his head.

"But the Emperor's Academy is not a good place for you."

"Four hundred years have passed. The Emperor's Academy, which was once famous in Da Qi and known as the cradle of the strong, has long lost its former glory."

"There, people attach great importance to currying favor with the rich and powerful and building relationships with them rather than practicing Taoism and martial arts. The rules are lax and the students live extravagantly. Among the children of the rich and powerful, the most talented ones are sent to the major sects, and the next best ones are sent to study in the Emperor's Palace."

"It's a waste of time for you to go there."

Zhou Qing thought about it and said, "If this is really the case with the Emperor's Academy, then maybe Tenglong Martial Arts School will be more desirable to them."

Lu Qingmo was slightly startled, then smiled, "That's true."

Although famous and powerful sects are good, they also have strict rules. People without background will be treated according to their strength and talent.

But the rules of the Emperor's Academy are loose, which makes it easier to climb up and gain benefits that are useful to their own power.

"You don't have to worry about the future." Lu Qingmo comforted him, "When he comes out of retreat during the day, he will be in the True Blood Realm. Even if he really wants to leave Black Cloud Town, he will make proper arrangements for your brothers and sisters."

"The destination must be better than going to the capital with Zuo Tianzheng."

"As for you..."

"Let's wait and see."

Zhou Qing was a little depressed. I have to wait and see.

Go and practice!

Looking at Zhou Qing in the moonlight, Lu Qingmo had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

She had planned to ask Zhou Qing to go back to Xuandu Temple with her and become a monk, but she had many concerns.

There are too many mysteries surrounding Zhou Qing. He has amazing luck and often awakens some Taoist skills and even talents inexplicably.

Lu Qingmo was afraid that taking Zhou Qing back to Xuandu Temple would disrupt his plans "before reincarnation" or ruin the arrangements of the masters in the dark, thus affecting his own path.

She was even more afraid that if she brought Zhou Qing back to the temple, some of his secrets would be discovered and become coveted by others.

Back then, her unique Taoist magic caused countless undercurrents.

Judging from Zhou Qing's past performance, it is definitely more valuable than a peerless Taoist technique.

His teacher had been in seclusion for eighteen years, and there was no longer any strong man in Lu Qingmo's lineage who could intimidate all the villains in the sect.

Although Yin Shen or Zhen Xue can become the elders of Xuan Du, they are not the ones who truly have the final say in Xuan Du Temple.

The master of Xuandu Temple is aloof from the world and suppresses the world, so he is naturally not included.

Wherever there are people, there is conflict.

Then there is the important factor of daytime.

Zhou Qing was Bai Tian's disciple, so if he wanted to take Zhou Qing away, it would be justified.

In Lu Qingmo's opinion, it is also a good place to go if you walk there during the day.

The True Blood Realm of Martial Arts is quite glorious and can change a lot of things.

Or maybe Zhou Qing didn't want to leave with any of them, and had other ideas, it was hard to say.

Lu Qingmo was still thinking about it and decided to discuss it with him after he came out of isolation during the day before making a decision.

Perhaps, letting Zhou Qinghe stay with Ruoyue is a better choice than letting her leave.

After the training was over, Zhou Qing remembered something and ran over to ask, "Aunt Mo, Zuo Tianzheng said that it is possible to preliminarily judge a person's comprehension level through martial arts and Taoist techniques. What are those?"

"He should be talking about the Spiritual Heart Chapter in the Great Qi Wujing and Daojing." Lu Qingmo explained: "The Qi Wujing and Qi Daojing are classics compiled by the great ancestor of this dynasty who called on practitioners all over the world. They are all-encompassing."

"From the most basic martial arts to the most advanced martial arts, everything is recorded in these two scriptures. Of course, the advanced parts are naturally under the control of the royal family, and ordinary people rarely see them."

"And the Spiritual Heart Chapter records two special martial arts and Taoist techniques. They are not very powerful, but extremely complex. The formulas for practicing them are extremely special and varied."

"When the Spiritual Heart Chapter was created, it was specifically used to test the disciples' comprehension, to see how much the younger generation could comprehend within a limited time."

"Although this method of testing one's understanding is not necessarily accurate, it does have some merits, so it is widely circulated."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this, and asked, "Aunt Mo, do you have the Spiritual Heart Chapter? Let me try it out."

"No." Lu Qingmo shook his head, "It's useless even if you are right."

"Why?"

"Sun-wandering monk, your spirit is strong and your thoughts are extremely fast. The Spiritual Heart Chapter will not be difficult for you."

"This is a test of the disciple's understanding. The Sun Traveler is no longer a disciple."

Zhou Qing was speechless. Blame me? "I heard that there is a Lingxi chess game in the All Saints Academy. The deduction of this chess game can measure one's comprehension, and it is far more accurate than the Spiritual Heart Chapter." Lu Qingmo said again: "The Lingxi chess game, let alone the daily monks, even the masters of the major sects cannot play the whole game. It is said that often deducing this chess game can also improve one's comprehension."

Zhou Qing was shocked. Is it possible to improve something as vague as comprehension?

want to.

"This should be the treasure of All Saints College, right?"

"One of the treasures of the town hospital."

But I dare not ask for it.

On the second day, Zuo Tianzheng took out a selection charter and distributed it to all parties.

Although Taibai disciples did not participate in this matter, they still learned the details.

Because Zuo Tianzheng directly made the matter public, the majority of Black Cloud cultivators can also participate.

Three days later, on the bank of Yunjiang River, geniuses fought each other and the winner entered Yujing.

The detailed process and rules are also written below, even specifying which younger generations from the various forces in Black Cloud will participate.

The only restriction is that you must be a native of Heiyun Town, and you cannot become a naturalized citizen at this time. At least you must be a veteran whose parents have moved to Heiyun Town.

As soon as this notice came out, the dark clouds shook, and countless people were jealous, but they also beat their chests and stamped their feet because the conditions were not met.

Even the overlords of the county city were tempted by this opportunity.

Families like the Yuan family and the Huang family are already prominent families in the county. Their power is actually very powerful and is not limited to Tianyue County.

Even if he is above, he is not without connections. He also has backers in the provincial capital.

He also usually sends his disciples to many sects to make friends with fellow Taoists.

They went to Yujing and lived a good life.

But if they could go to the capital with Zuo Tianzheng, they would have a chance to catch the emperor's eye, a level that they had previously found difficult to reach.

The royal family of the Three Kingdoms was not the most powerful family in the world, but it was definitely the most famous and powerful family.

However, Zuo Tianzheng only selected people from the Black Cloud group. After the news got out, even if they came to his house and presented him with generous gifts, they could not make the imperial envoy change his mind and modify the selection criteria.

Zuo Tianzheng's reason was very convincing. The emperor only ordered him to govern Heiyun. He had no right to interfere in other places and could not act recklessly.

He reported everything to the emperor, so these people were naturally helpless. They couldn't just tell Zuo Tianzheng not to listen to the emperor.

Therefore, many practitioners from other places can only feel envy, jealousy and hatred towards the Black Cloud people.

Damn it, why does it feel like all the good things are happening to the people of Heiyun Town? Is there still law? However, they also found out that there were no people from Taibai Martial Arts School and the Yun family in this genius competition? After asking, they found out that these two families refused the rewards given by Zuo Tianzheng on behalf of the emperor, and were unwilling to participate in the selection and did not want to leave Heiyun Town.

This made many people sneer, thinking that such a good opportunity would not be cherished.

Why don't you go to Yujing to make a name for yourself and stay here as a small warrior? How short-sighted you are! (End of this chapter)
