Chapter 14: The Spiritual Root Test
Not only Huang and Lie, but even Baiyou Xuanjin himself was also a little curious at this time, what kind of pill he had practiced by himself.
Seeing this, Uncle Ming hurriedly said, "Lingyun, nine top-grade grains." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Hearing this, Huang and Lie both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and the result was still within the range they could bear. However, before the two of them could catch their breath, Uncle Ming's voice sounded again.
"And the best three. As if to confirm, Uncle Ming glanced at the jade bottle again, and said again: "Three top-grade Qingyuan Pills." ”
"How is that possible!"
Hearing this, not only Huang and Lie, but even Baiyou Xuanjin himself was frightened. It's just that under the command of Ling Yun, he has refined a furnace of elixir, and it is the first time to get started, how can it work so well.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Uncle Ming had no choice but to pass the jade bottle to everyone for inspection, and finally confirmed it.
"Show me. ”
Ling Yun, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Uncle Ming handed the jade bottle to Ling Yun, and then turned his head to Huang and Lie and said, "Two masters, Ling Gongzi has refined the best Qingyuan Pill, although there is the help of the president, but this is with the consent of the two masters. Therefore, according to the previous rules, this time the competition was won by Ling Gongzi. ”
"Willing to gamble and lose!"
The old man surnamed Huang said, as a Dan Dao master, he is not short of this money, so he is naturally very happy.
On the other hand, Ling Yun on the side, his attention at this time was not on the bet. Pour out a pill of Qingyuan Dan in the palm of your hand, keep observing, and occasionally sniff it.
After a long time, Ling Yun put away the pill, but his eyes glanced at Baiyou Xuanjin intentionally or unintentionally.
He and Mr. Qingyuan Dan have refined it many times, and they have also refined the best Qingyuan Dan before. But this time, the Qingyuan Pill refined with the assistance of Baiyou Xuanjin was very similar to the one refined by Mr. before in terms of breath, as if it were the same. But when you feel it carefully, it's a little different, if it weren't for his strong sensitivity, I'm afraid I can't tell the difference.
"Could it be that Mr. has anything to do with the Haotian Chamber of Commerce, or Baiyou Xuanjin?" Ling Yun thought secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, took out a jade bottle in his hand, put the best Qingyuan Pill on it, handed it to Murong Xiaoxiao and said, "Miss Murong, I haven't cultivated yet, and the pill is useless to me, so I will give it to Miss Murong, and I hope I don't dislike it." ”
"Thank you Ling Gongzi!"
Hearing this, Murong Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, but she still took it and thanked her. No matter what Ling Yun gave it to her for, this was naturally not the time to ask.
On the other side, Huang and Lie also prepared silver tickets, 10,000 taels each. It's just that the old man surnamed Lie still seems to be a little reluctant, and his face hurts when he takes it out.
Ling Yun saw it in his eyes, did not take the silver ticket, and said with a faint smile: "Before the next is just a strategy in a hurry, and it is the help of the chairman of Baiyou that he won by luck, so why should the two masters take it seriously." ”
"Yes, yes, Ling Gongzi is right. Competition, why are you so serious?" Hearing this, the old man surnamed Lie suddenly smiled, hurriedly put away the silver ticket, and echoed.
However, the old man surnamed Huang was more stubborn, so he forcibly stuffed the silver ticket into Ling Yun's hand, glanced at the old man surnamed Lie with disgust, and said: "I am willing to lose the bet! Huang is not like some people." ”
However, the old man surnamed Lie was obviously much thicker-skinned, and his eyes turned to him, directly ignoring the sarcasm of the old man surnamed Huang.
Seeing this, Ling Yun was a little helpless, then turned his eyes and said, "Since this is the case, I will accept this money first." However, the two masters are new to this place, and they are even earlier. This money is regarded as me washing the dust for the two of them, if Huang Lao delays it, he will look down on me Lingyun. ”
After speaking, Ling Yun handed the silver ticket back to Huang Lao.
Although Ling Yun found a lame reason, he gave Huang Lao a step down, his face was obviously better, he hesitated, but still accepted the silver ticket. Then he bowed to Ling Yun, but his attitude was much softer than before.
"Haha. Ling Gongzi didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it. Upstairs has prepared a reception banquet to thank the three of them for their strong support to the Haotian Chamber of Commerce, please here!" Baiyou Xuanjin said with a smile, and then led the way forward and led everyone out of the Danfang.
The so-called reception banquet is naturally not as simple as eating. Baiyou Xuanjin and the three of them carefully discussed the plan for the subsequent elixir refining, as well as the tasks that each person needed to complete. As for the remuneration, it was naturally said before.
During the banquet, Ling Yun also asked Huang and Lie for advice on the way of alchemy many times. Although he won the previous competition, after all, it was a bit tricky, and Huang and Lie had been immersed in Dan Dao for a long time, and they both had their own unique opinions, which benefited him a lot.
Unitary time, Rinkai Martial Arts Temple.
When Ling Yun and Murong Xiaoxiao returned to the Martial Academy, there were already a lot fewer people around them than before.
On the public wall outside the hospital, many people's names appeared densely. According to the number of spiritual roots, it is divided into five plates.
The top is a spiritual root, a spiritual root is too rare, it is blessed, also known as the heavenly spiritual root, but there is no one on it.
followed by Erlinggen, there are only about a dozen people, Mu Lian, Zhou Jian, Li Xin and others are impressively listed.
Then there are the three spirit roots, which are also the largest in number, about five or six hundred people.
Then there are the four spirit roots, which have the appearance of three or four hundred people.
And the last five spirit roots, although they are the worst spirit roots, are actually not very numerous, only seven or eight people.
All the lists add up, almost a thousand. Of course, there will not be so many who will be able to stay in the end.
First, the elimination rate of the retest is relatively high; second, in addition to the Linhai Martial Arts Academy, there are many martial arts academies in Yunzhou that are not weak, and they will also poach a group of people. After all, the resources of the Linhai Martial Academy are also limited, and those who feel that they cannot obtain the quota of the top ten disciples will choose to go to other martial arts academies in order to have better resources to cultivate.
Soon, Ling Yun withdrew his gaze. Although he was slightly surprised that Mu Lian's name appeared in the column of Erlinggen, he didn't pay too much attention to it, and then walked towards the registration office in the courtyard with Murong Xiaoxiao. Because they went out early in the morning, neither of them had time to register and test.
The person who presided over the test registration was an old gentleman, but Ling Yun had not seen it before, and he didn't know what his identity was. Behind the old man stood two guards, and in front of him was a long table with a ball-like magic weapon on it, which was used for testing.
Feeling someone coming, he didn't raise his head, took out a jade slip, and asked, "Name?"
The recommenders of Ling Yun and Murong Xiaoxiao are both Murong Feng. Dean of the Linhai Martial Academy, how could the old man not recognize him, raised his head in some surprise and glanced at the two of them carefully.
However, the old man didn't ask much, and after checking the list from the jade slip, he directly signaled to start the test.
In politeness, Ling Yun naturally asked Murong Xiaoxiao to test first, but the latter was not polite, and reached out to hold the ball.
"Wow"
It didn't take long for the ball to emit a burst of blue light, and then it continued to grow stronger, like a blue sun, and everyone who stabbed couldn't open their eyes. However, the blue light did not last long and disappeared quickly.
"Water Heavenly Spirit Root!"
The old man who presided over the test shook his senses and said in a slightly trembling voice. After presiding over the morning, the test of nearly 1,000 people finally came out with a heavenly spirit root, no wonder the old man was excited.
Not only him, but on the publicity wall outside the hospital, in the top column, the name of "Murong Xiaoxiao" appeared, causing a burst of exclamations.
"Finally there is a Heavenly Spirit Root!" someone sighed.
"It's Miss Murong. ”
"Water Heavenly Spirit Root, it's a bit of a pity!" a voice sounded, looking a little regretful.
In the country of Donglai, the Donglai Sword Sect is faith, and the belief of the Donglai Sword Sect is the sword. Although Murong Xiaoxiao is a heavenly spirit root, the most suitable for the sword is the gold system, and the water system is soft, and if it lacks sharpness, the power will be discounted.
However, after all, it is a heavenly spirit root, and if nothing happens, it will definitely be a strong party in the future.
After many people saw the news, they quietly retreated, these are the threads of the major families, and at this time, the news should be transmitted back as soon as possible.
"Ling Gongzi, it's your turn. ”
Murong Xiaoxiao withdrew her hand and stepped aside. Knowing that he was a Heavenly Spirit Root, he didn't seem to be as happy as he imagined, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Hearing this, Ling Yun nodded, and also reached out to hold the ball.
After a while, a white glow appeared, but before it could get stronger, the color changed and then green, then blue, then red, and then yellow, and so on. After a while, it was gone.
"Five Elements Spiritual Root. After a glance, the old man said lightly.
Hearing this, Ling Yun fell silent. Murong Xiaoxiao, who was behind him, patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.
The Five Elements Spiritual Root is the Five Spiritual Root, and in fact, there is another name, called the pseudo-spiritual root. The reason why there is this name is because the five elements spiritual root is too average, resulting in no outstanding points, although it can be cultivated, but no matter what it cultivates, it is very slow, only a little better than mortals, and it is a pity to abandon it.
Of course, Ling Yun had read through the scriptures and history, and he also knew some ways to solve the poor spiritual root, but unfortunately, it was basically impossible for him at present. This has added great difficulty to his future revenge plan.
"Wow......"
Just as he was thinking, another young man ran into the courtyard, dressed in sackcloth, but with a long sword pinned to his waist. Maybe I've been running for a long time, and I'm already sweating profusely.
"Name?"
Tang Tian smiled. ”
After the old man verified the list, the young man who claimed to be Tang Tianxiao couldn't wait to hold down the ball, his eyes excited for a while.
Immediately after, the green, blue, red, and yellow lights lit up one after another, and at a glance, I knew that it was not a very good spiritual root.
"Wood, water, fire, and earth, four spiritual roots. The old man said.
"How is that possible?"
Hearing this, Tang Tianxiao's eyes widened at the boss, and he looked incredulous. Then he reached out and tested it a few more times, and the result was exactly the same as before.
Suddenly, the excitement in Tang Tianxiao's eyes receded, his expression darkened, and he didn't say anything more, bowed to the old man, and left gloomily.
On the side, Ling Yun saw the end from the beginning, and after a little speculation, he understood what was going on. Tang Tianxiao carried a sword, most of which was a love for swordsmanship, but his spiritual roots were not only inferior quality four spiritual roots, but also lacked gold, which made it difficult for him to achieve anything in swordsmanship.
"It's really providence!" Ling Yun shook his head slightly, sighing in his heart. Sigh for others, but also for yourself.
