Chapter 16 Aesthetics Online Lin
The disciple in charge of recording just watched the man withdraw his hand, put down his sleeves and walked away. He waved to him politely before leaving, then quickly jumped down the stairs in three or two steps, shouting what seemed to be a friend's name.
There was no time to call back. The person instantly plunged into the crowd. I couldn't keep up with him for a moment and I couldn't find him anymore. The outstretched hand stopped in mid-air and just remained there.
He was slow to let the next subject come forward, and the elder behind him looked over and asked if there were any questions.
"……fine."
After taking a final look in the direction of the crowd, the disciple withdrew his gaze, wrote down the words "upper middle" in the booklet, and then asked the next subject to come forward.
Everything went back to normal. The elder withdrew his gaze and looked down at the huge crowd below. The corners of his eyes drooped and the hand stroking his beard slowed down a lot.
Having been sitting here for half a day, the disciple next to him noticed the tiredness on his face and bent down to ask, "It's good that there are brothers and sisters here. Elder, do you want to go back and rest for a while?"
The brothers and sisters present were already used to this kind of assessment and rarely made mistakes, so there was no need for an elder to be present to oversee it.
The man in the black robe with white edges moved slowly along with the movement of stroking his beard. The second elder waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer."
There had been unusual movements in the outer peaks before, either a secret treasure or a talented person had advanced. He had sent people to inquire about it, but got no results, so he came to take a look today.
If we can really find the gifted species, today's trip will not be a loss.
He insisted on staying, so the disciple said nothing more and stood up straight again.
Lin Zhusheng, who blended into the crowd, quickly found his good fellow disciple.
Or perhaps his good fellow disciple had no intention of leaving. After getting off the platform, he stood aside, waiting for him. When he saw him come down so quickly, he was stunned, as if he was a little surprised.
As the distance between them shortened, he heard the other party ask, "Is it through?"
The voice didn't sound as relaxed as usual, and seemed a little nervous.
It's a bit strange. This person didn't look nervous before and during the test, but now he is tense.
Surrounded by fellow disciples who had not yet taken the assessment and were still unsure of themselves, Lin Zhusheng walked forward a few steps and waved.
Song Ming bent slightly following his movements. The height was right, he raised his hand and whispered in her ear: "It's done."
Song Ming relaxed his tense mouth, smiled, and looked like his usual laid-back young man again. He said, "Congratulations."
Lin Zhusheng reciprocated the courtesy and also expressed congratulations.
In order not to upset his fellow disciples whose hearts were extremely fragile, he congratulated them in a very low voice so that no one except Song Ming could hear it. Then he quickly pulled them away from the crowd filled with tense atmosphere.
Leaving the crowd, he spoke without restraint. He walked to the shade of a tree on the side of the road and asked the question he had wanted to ask on stage before, "Why does your stone make a sound?"
He was referring to the buzzing sound made by the Gui Stone during the assessment. According to previous observations, no one before him had experienced this situation.
I asked this specifically not for any other reason, I was simply curious.
"Um……"
This question seemed a little difficult to answer. Song Ming thought about it for a while, then said, "Guishi is actually quite fragile."
He said: "The more spiritual energy you inject, the more likely it is that the Gui Stone will be damaged."
Guishi is often used to test the root bones of menial disciples, and is limited to use by menial disciples. The reason for this is that the Gui Stone is too fragile. It may not return intact when placed in the hands of outer and inner disciples.
Its detection of root bones requires the injection of spiritual power. Theoretically, injecting spiritual power from the whole body can reflect the root bone condition most clearly.
However, if there is too much spiritual power, the Gui Stone will not be able to bear it and will be in danger of breaking.
Lin Zhusheng clenched his fist with one hand, knocked it on the palm of his other hand, and nodded in understanding.
No wonder I heard some noise at that time. When the LV3 spiritual power was injected into it, the stone did make two noises.
The harder he uses, the more accurate it becomes. No wonder during the assessment, no matter how much spiritual power he has, the disciple who records the results tries his best. No wonder the stone becomes brighter the more spiritual power he uses.
His doubts were resolved, and then it was Song Ming's turn to ask, "Why did you come down so quickly?"
He glanced at the man as he left and it looked like he would have to wait for a while.
"Ha," Lin Zhusheng scratched his head, ignoring the fact that he had been having a lot of fun and ultimately didn't have time to use all his strength, and selectively said, "It's OK as long as you pass it."
After both tests were completed and he had some free time, he quickly changed the subject and said he wanted to go to a street halfway up the mountain.
A very important significance of passing the test and assessment is that he will have a small yard where he can grow flowers, grass and vegetables in the future.
This means that he can now purchase all kinds of seeds that he wanted to buy but never did.
They were halfway up the mountain.
As the assessment was taking place, the commercial street in Mid-Levels was busier than usual. People were coming and going, mostly disciples who had finished their tests and were purchasing daily necessities. The crowd is so crowded that it takes some courage to dive in.
In daily life, Lin Zhusheng can basically be self-sufficient by running all over the mountains. He skipped the necessities area and went straight to the seed area that he had already memorized in his mind.
Song Ming had never been to such a place. He looked around, sweeping across the stalls and then continuing to look at the person walking in front of him.
Walking around the crowded crowd, the person in front squatted in front of a stall, and he also half-squatted.
Lin Zhusheng had already planned what to buy halfway through the journey, so he squatted down and started picking without having to think too much. He bought a bag of all the seeds he could, and the things he had in his hands increased significantly.
It was an incredibly well-equipped stall, with not only seeds but even saplings. However, considering that the yard was not big enough to plant trees, he kept moving his hand over the sapling. Finally, he had to harden his heart and move it away, letting the disciple guarding the stall settle the money for the seeds.
He seemed to be here for wholesale business, and he picked out a lot of things. It took his disciples a long time to count them. Every time he counted, it was an income. As he counted, the corners of his mouth were grinning from ear to ear.
The disciple was happy as he bought what he wanted. Lin Zhusheng was also happy. While waiting, he glanced across the stall again and noticed a small object.
It's a small blue thing, inconspicuous in the corner, but it's placed in a small box with great care. Curious, he took a closer look. The disciple noticed it and introduced it, "This is the seed of the orchid flower."
Lin Zhusheng raised his eyes slightly, "Lanjunhua?"
He knows this flower. After all, it is the only gift that the most difficult senior brother in history likes.
Before, the other party refused to accept anything he gave, and his favorability towards him dropped rapidly. Later, there was no way to retreat, and his favorability could not drop any lower. He just happened to get this flower, so he gave it to the other party casually, but he didn't expect that the other party actually accepted it.
What followed was a history of blood and tears in spending money. Orchid flowers are rare, from seeds to flowers, and very expensive. He doesn't have seeds, so he buys ready-made flowers every time. In order to gain the favor of the eldest senior brother, money flows out.
Seeing that he seemed interested, the disciple raised his hand and gestured a number and asked him, "Do you want to buy it?"
Lin Zhusheng was shocked: "Five hundred gold?"
The disciple was also startled by the number he shouted, and hurriedly corrected him, "Fifty silver!"
"!"
All kidding aside, for the first time, Lin Zhusheng experienced how affordable the prices in the Novice Village were, and realized how much of a sucker he had been in the past.
"Snap", without any hesitation, he bought the seeds and the box together.
Song Ming, who was squatting on the side, lowered his eyes to look at the seeds, then turned around and asked, "Do you like flowers?"
"No," said Rough Lin, who lived a rough life and had no interest in life, waving his hand, "I planted them to give to others."
Ready-made flowers are too expensive, so I can’t buy them. I can only grow them myself.
Song Ming seemed a little surprised and looked at him for a second longer, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came out of his mouth he just simply responded.
The disciple had packed all the things, handed them over with a smile, rubbed his hands, and said, "Thank you, 156 silver."
A large bag of seeds only cost a little over a hundred silver coins. Lin Zhusheng paid the money very quickly, took the seeds he had been longing for and put them in his pocket.
The backpack was filled with so many strange things, but fortunately his sleeves could still hold a lot of things.
He would be notified to move to a new residence two days after the assessment. Before that, he had to tidy up his room and the messy wooden box and put the seeds away. He waved goodbye to his good fellow disciple.
He always seemed to be busy every day, and Song Ming had gotten used to it. He stood there, waved, and said "goodbye".
Carrying the newly bought bags, the busy Master Lin walked down the mountain.
A lone wild goose flew away in the distant mountains, and mountain fog gradually rose. After a whole afternoon of trouble, he went out at noon and returned home just as the sunset was setting into the mountains.
He lit the lamp before it became too dark to see clearly, rolled up his sleeves and began to tidy up his messy wooden boxes to make room for the new seeds joining this big family.
The light of setting sun illuminated the figures of people working hard. Outside the window, a few streaks of light flashed across the sky. The elders and disciples who had gained nothing from the day's assessment returned to the inner gate.
Kitty sat on the table, looked up at Liuguang leaving, then turned to look at the person who was still busy packing things, and reminded him, "Remember to save a place for the new school uniform."
Hearing the voice, Lin Zhusheng raised his head from the pile of things and said, "Huh?"
A pair of eyes full of confusion. Except when he is making money and studying, this person really does seem to have an empty mind and can't remember anything. The little cat said, "There is a difference between menial disciples and outer disciples. New uniforms will be delivered tomorrow."
After being reminded, he finally remembered that this was indeed the case. Lin Zhusheng, still holding a handful of grass in his hand, looked down at the wooden box that was almost full, and became silent for a moment.
Kitty was looking forward to the new school uniform. Her eyes fell on his gray clothes and messy hair, and she said objectively, "You should look more like a human being after changing."
At least it won't look like a beggar returning home after running around the mountains and fields. It would make people want to give it two silver coins and let it eat something good.
“It’s rude.”
Lin Zhusheng turned left and right to show off his face, which he had sculpted himself, and the clothes that were not worn correctly. He said, "This is very beautiful."
