Martial arts examination, as the biggest event of the Ming Dynasty every year, there will be countless proud sons who have passed layers of selection and entered the capital to participate in the dynasty's martial arts examination.

The selection in the city, as the first selection of the martial arts examination, can be regarded as a first-class event in any city of the Ming Dynasty, and there are a total of nine cities in the Ming Dynasty, also known as Kyushu. And passing the selection in the city is equivalent to getting the admission ticket for the martial arts examination, and then you can go to participate in the higher-level selection in the city and even the dynasty martial arts examination.

In Jinling City, there are still more than three months to go before the selection in the city, and the younger generation of various family forces in the city are actively preparing for the battle, gearing up, looking forward to making a splash in the selection in the city.

In the eastern courtyard of the Li family, Li Qinghe was still practicing his sword as usual, and by the way, he was refining the four sword intents he had mastered.

"Although I have mastered these four sword intents, I still can't use them freely. Li Qinghe muttered to himself.

The pure Jun sword floated freely in Li Qinghe's hands, and from time to time it still had a hint of sharpness, soft with rigidity, and rigidity with softness.

The long sword was put into the sheath, Li Qinghe put the Chunjun sword aside, took out a book of martial arts and began to study, there were only about three months before the selection in the city, Li Qinghe must seize the time to improve his strength, and this book in his hand is the martial art that Li Qinghe obtained in the Xuandian in the ruins - the barbaric immortal body.

"Body refining martial arts..."Body refining martial arts are actually relatively few in the Ming Dynasty, because most of the martial artists in the Ming Dynasty are still mainly cultivating qi, and only a few people will try to refine the body, after all, it is a difficult road.

Although he had not practiced the art of body refining, Li Qinghe did not feel anything bad, as long as he could improve his strength, whether it was swordsmanship or body refining, he was acceptable.

"I'm going to the back mountain again..."Li Qinghe closed his martial arts, packed his things and headed to the back mountain.

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed. Under a small waterfall in the back mountain of the Li family, a young man with beautiful eyebrows sat cross-legged, it was Li Qinghe who had entered the back mountain to cultivate the Wild and Indestructible Body.

I saw that Li Qinghe's whole body was blue, and the skin on his body was like a rock showing a blue-gray color, giving people an indestructible feeling, and Li Qinghe's whole person was like a static limestone statue, unshakable.

The breath in his mouth was leisurely, Li Qinghe slowly opened his eyes, and exhaled a long breath, Li Qinghe's eyes even showed a wisp of blue and gray, which looked quite strange.

"This barbaric immortal body is very wonderful, and after nearly a month of cultivation, I have finally cultivated to the first level. Feeling the explosive power on his body, Li Qinghe showed a smile.

There are three levels of Savage Immortal Body, and Li Qinghe can only meet the requirements of the first layer for the time being. According to the introduction of martial arts, cultivating to the extreme physical immortality, it can even rival the sage!

And this first strength can already make Li Qinghe invincible under the transformation realm with his body alone, but this is only the strength of the body, and when it comes to actual combat, no one will really use the body to fight hard with a person who cultivates the art of the body.

Li Qinghe stood up from the ground and shook his somewhat sour body, for a month, Li Qinghe had never gone out in the back mountain, and now that the barbaric immortal body has been preliminarily cultivated, he is ready to go outside for a walk.

Back in the east courtyard, Li Qinghe put the Chunjun sword back into the house, and if he went out for a walk, he didn't have to bring a sword to attract people's eyes.

Out of the mansion, Li Qinghe went all the way west, passed by the lake where he stayed with the girl, and stopped for a while.

"Beijing, I'm going there to take the martial arts exam. Li Qinghe immediately stopped staying.

After a while, Li Qinghe was still ready to go to Wanbaolou to have a look.

After paying the entrance fee, Li Qinghe did not go to the second floor, but walked around the first floor, and a stall set up by a sloppy old man attracted his attention.

There were many onlookers in front of the sloppy old man's stall, and the old man's booth was planted with a flag that read: God Operator.

Li Qinghe was curious, approached the old man's stall, and saw the sloppy old man giggling, shouting and saying to the people around him: "Is there a fortune teller, fifty gold coins at a time, no money!"

There was a commotion in the crowd around him, and after a while, a man stood in front of the old man and said, "Give me a hexagram." As he spoke, he threw a heavy bag of gold coins in front of the old man.

The old man smiled and took the bag of gold coins in his hand and weighed it a few times, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Anyway, what do you want to count?"

The man said, "Aren't you a fortune teller, even if you count my fortune!"

The old man pinched the mustache under his chin, looked the man up and down, and said, "I see that there is some black gas between your eyebrows, has there been any disaster in your family recently?"

The man was stunned and said, "It happened, my house was patronized by thieves a few days ago, and tens of thousands of gold coins were stolen. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and they were all amazed.

"And you will be in business in the future, for your family has been in business for generations!" said the sloppy old man again.

The man was stunned for a moment again, and said with a smile: "It seems that sir, you are really a god operator, not a charlatan." ”

The surrounding crowd also scrambled to find the old man to tell his fortune, and suddenly there was a noise in front of the stall.

Li Qinghe really stared at the old man thoughtfully, because when the sloppy old man was observing the man just now, he obviously felt a trace of soul fluctuation.

So, Li Qinghe quietly touched the old man's stall with his soul power, but he was overwhelmed by a strong soul fluctuation.

The crowd in front of the old man's stall gradually dispersed, and Li Qinghe also felt bored and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!" the sloppy old man called out to Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe turned around and said quietly: "I don't count my life." ”

The old man grinned and said, "It was your soul power that snooped just now, right?"

Li Qinghe's heart sank, and he didn't answer, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

"At a young age, I have already been exposed to the power of the soul, and it seems to be a good piece of material. ”

The old man sat back in front of the stall, beckoned to Li Qinghe, and said, "Come here, I'll do the math for you." ”

Li Qinghe was also a little curious, so he walked up to the old man, he wanted to know how the old man told fortunes.

The old man looked Li Qinghe up and down, the seal in his hand changed, and Li Qinghe suddenly felt a strange power coming from under him.

After a while, when Li Qinghe reacted, he found that the old man was looking at him strangely.

"Strange, why can't I see your life clearly..."The old man muttered, just when he was looking at Li Qinghe's life, he only saw that the road ahead was vast, and there was something in front of him but he couldn't see it clearly.

Li Qinghe was stunned, but he didn't take the old man's words to heart, and got up to leave.

"Would you like to learn from me?" the old man asked suddenly.

Li Qinghe turned around and said with a look of disbelief: "You are the Imperial Formation Master?"

The Imperial Array Master is an extremely high-status profession on the mainland, because many sects need the help of the Imperial Array Master to build and improve their formations. Therefore, some high-level imperial array masters are also regarded as guests of the sect, and even the royal family will respect them and respect their status. However, the conditions for becoming a Imperial Array Master are also extremely harsh, which also leads to the extreme scarcity of Imperial Array Divisions.

The sloppy old man proudly pinched his little beard and said, "Of course!"

Li Qinghe looked at the old man carefully, the clothes on the old man's body were tattered, there were many seams and patches, and his face was also swarthy, no matter how he looked at it, it had nothing to do with the honorable Imperial Array Master.

Seeing Li Qinghe's suspicious expression, the old man stomped his feet angrily and said, "You don't believe me?"

"How can you prove your identity?" Li Qinghe pouted.

The old man smiled and said, "Look at it!"

When the words fell, the old man seemed to be silently chanting something, and he saw that under Li Qinghe's feet, a formation was quickly formed, and Li Qinghe felt that the internal strength in his body seemed to be restricted.

"This formation is just a small restriction formation, which can limit the internal strength in your body, so you should believe me now. The old man said triumphantly.

Li Qinghe looked at the formation under his feet in surprise, this was the first time he had personally come into contact with the formation, he had only seen the family's Guardian Formation in the family before.

The formation disappeared, Li Qinghe felt that the internal strength in his body could surge smoothly again, and the old man said again: "How about it, do you want to learn the formation with me, your soul power is different from ordinary people, if you learn the imperial formation, your future achievements are limitless." ”

Li Qinghe thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes, but I have a request." ”

The old man said, "You say." In order to accept this apprentice, he also made up his mind.

"I want to become a master before I am selected in the castle. ”

The old man scolded with a smile: "Are you a cabbage when you are a royal array master, how can you become a royal array master so quickly!"

Li Qinghe looked at the old man and said resolutely: "If you can't do it, I can also find someone else!"

"Come back!" cried the old man.

Li Qinghe turned around and looked at the old man with a smile.

"Are you going to take the martial arts exam?" the old man asked.

Li Qinghe nodded.

The old man said helplessly: "Although it is a little difficult, with my ability and your own foundation, it may not be impossible." ”

"That's it. Li Qinghe said.

The old man put away his stall and said, "This time tomorrow, you will come here to look for me." With that, he left.

Li Qinghe looked at the figure of the old man leaving, and he was also a little excited in his heart, he could become a royal formation master and learn the formation.

Leaving Wanbaolou, Li Qinghe returned to the Li Mansion.

Lying on the bed in the room, Li Qinghe carefully calculated: "After becoming a royal array master, I will have an extra hand of hole cards, so that the chances of winning the martial arts exam will be greater." ”

clenched the fist in his hand, and the image of the girl resurfaced in his mind.

"Wait for me, Su Chunchun. Beijing, I'll go and see it!"
