No one came to look for him for three days, so Jiang Sheng was happy and at ease. During the day, he strolled around the mountains to get some information. Of course, they couldn't enter some mountains because of the strict hierarchy of the temple.
Then stroll to the mortal mountain to find Wu Shuyan. It is much easier to ask questions from mortal people than from those ghost slaves.
Many mortals, seeing that he was easy to talk to, came over to show their courtesy.
Wu Shuyan glared at them and said unhappily, "Big brother is mine, my big brother. Don't you dare snatch him from me? You little brats are so dirty. Stay away from me."
Jiang Sheng glanced at the kids who were fighting, shook his head helplessly, and leaned against a tree, watching with a smile on his face, without trying to stop them or saying who he was helping.
When they stopped fighting due to fatigue, they opened their mouths to say something, and then they saw a dark figure descending, kneeling on the ground and saying respectfully: "Venerable Nian, the elders have asked me to take you to the test hall."
"Okay, I'll go with you. Yanyan, get along well with them and don't fight at every turn. I'll come pick you up after the test."
The other children rushed over and said pitifully, "Big brother, can you take us away? We can do a lot of things. Just give us something to eat."
"A venerable can have ten people serving him. There are only two people in your palace. You can find us if there is a vacancy. We eat less and can work harder, so we won't suffer any loss."
Jiang Sheng glanced at the little kid who was stiff-necked and unwilling to look at him, and said, "Yanyan, pick a few capable ones. I'll leave this matter to you. Be obedient and don't lose your temper."
Wu Shuyan pursed his lips and nodded: "Oh, I see."
Watching the two men walking further and further away, he hung his head and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Big brother and I are the closest people. Tell me what you have to offer."
"I'll choose. After you're chosen, you'll recognize me as the boss. When you go to the palace, you'll work hard and not be lazy. You're not allowed to compete with me for the big brother position, and you have to listen to me."
"……good."
Jiang Sheng followed him into the hall. In the middle was a round platform. On top of the platform was a translucent stone, which looked like an egg, with a pointed top and a round bottom.
A circle of elders sat at the top, and below were people in black robes, wearing jade pendants around their waists with their titles engraved in red on top.
You Nu crawled on the ground, extremely humble: "Elders, all venerable ones, Venerable Nian has been brought here."
"Venerable Nian, kneel down."
Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the elder who spoke with an expressionless face. His eyes fell on the jade pendant on his waist, and a blank word could be clearly seen. He had not offended this man, so why should he kneel down?
Elder Kong is also a telekinetic elder. His strength is not strong, but because of his specialness, he was appointed as an elder by the hall master. Now that he hears of a stronger telekinetic elder, how can he not be hostile?
If the opponent is very powerful, he will lose his position.
The other elders watched the fun with a slight smile on their lips. This was just a show of force for the newcomer. Once he knelt down, he would definitely be laughed at in the future.
Venerable Bing frowned slightly and reminded him, "Venerable Nian should take the test first. If your talent is very high, you don't need to kneel."
"Elder Kong, what do you think? Although your talent was low when you first came to take the test, because you had the rare ability of telekinesis control, no one asked you to kneel. I wonder when this rule came into being..."
Before he could finish his words, a cup flew towards the other party, but was frozen halfway and fell to the ground. The two men started fighting without any warning, and the others watched with raised eyebrows.
Elder Kong could not tolerate being provoked by a Venerable. He got up from his seat and walked towards Venerable Bing with a cold look in his eyes.
"Heh, you're just a King-level Ice Venerable, not even a Saint-level one. How dare you challenge this elder? Do you have the right to talk too much?"
He took off the whip from his waist and was about to whip Jiang Sheng, but he disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was holding the whip in his hand. He looked at it carefully and found that the dark red marks on the whip were all dried blood.
Elder Kong was about to swing his whip angrily, but his hands were empty. He came to his senses when he heard a sneer. He turned his head to look at his empty hands, and his face turned dark.
He turned around and pounced towards Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng knew that this was to establish his authority. If he showed weakness today, he would be bullied and crushed to death by the upper level in this hierarchical temple in the future.
The chair flew towards him, moving back and forth in the air, and it was obvious that the two sides were competing.
The others watched this scene with great interest: "Interesting, they are all telekinetic masters, but Elder Kong's ability seems to be inferior to that of a newly awakened one. I'm afraid this position will be lost to someone else."
"Haha, that depends on whether he can survive under Elder Kong. It's useless for someone who can't survive to have high talent. For every twenty elders, one dies before another one takes over."
"Well, let's watch first."
When Elder Kong heard those words, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. This person's talent must be stronger than his. It would be better to strike first. There is naturally no need to test the talent of a dead person.
Jiang Sheng pretended to be struggling, and when he saw the other party grinning smugly, he disappeared in a flash and kicked the man away.
After kicking, he said sincerely: "Sorry, I was a little too strong."
Elder Kong spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up. His scarlet eyes were filled with murderous intent. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed, but every time he stabbed, he missed.
Jiang Sheng just dodged like that, as if he was teasing a monkey.
Soon the Elder's attacks became weaker and weaker. He lost consciousness and felt a pain in his wrist. The dagger was taken away by someone. The next moment, he felt a chill on his neck and was hit by an icy touch.
A chill ran down his spine, and he said in fear, "You, don't move. This is a sparring match. If you dare to kill me, you'll be provoking the elders, and there will be no good end for you."
"Huh? I didn't say I was going to kill you. Elders should naturally be respected. Why would I kill you?"
"Isn't it to test your talent? If not, I'll go back to eat. You guys didn't ask me to come here just to watch monkeys, did you?"
Everyone was silent: "..."
The masked elder in the high seat raised his lips slightly upon hearing this, a flicker of admiration flashing in his eyes. He whispered, "Sit back in your seat, Kong, and begin the talent test."
Jiang Sheng watched as a masked man came down and stood before him, whispering, "Put your hand on the test stone and mobilize your spiritual power to pour it in. Pour it all in."
"... Let me ask you something. If the stone cracks or breaks after I smash it all in, do I need to pay for it?"
This sentence silenced the others.
The masked man twitched his lips and said speechlessly, "Are you crazy? This test stone has been there for hundreds of years and has never cracked. If you really have the ability to crack it, you can do it."
"Don't say that no one blames you, even the Palace Master would praise you."
Jiang Sheng felt relieved and smiled innocently: "Okay, then I'll start. Thank you for the reminder, Elder."
"Well, let's get started."
