On the day of the opening ceremony.

Not long after dawn, there were many people outside the valley, mostly young people. There is no power in the family to come alone, and the children of the big clan are followed by elders or guards.

There is no room for so many people in the valley, so the screening process is carried out outside the valley, and there are many people outside the valley for a short time.

Ling Xu had nothing to do, so he also came to watch. He didn't enter Nanming Valley in a normal way, so he was naturally unclear about the screening links of recruiting disciples.

A test field was set up outside the valley, and several platforms were sitting, each with a test stone.

The test stone has two functions, one is to detect whether there is a spiritual vein in the body and whether the spiritual veins are damaged. The second is to measure the strength of the spiritual veins in the body. Those who have already entered the Qi Drive Realm can activate the spiritual vein, and the running spiritual qi that has not activated the spiritual vein can also be detected at the impact of the spiritual vein.

This test will be able to weed out most people, and many people who are unable to practice will come here to fish in troubled waters and try to blend into the Nanming Valley.

Ling Xu's heart moved, so he secretly hid the old pervert out of the valley, the rock wall into the valley was very difficult for Ling Xu when he first came, now that he has succeeded in cultivating martial arts, it is naturally easy to go down the valley. He had been in Nanming Valley for more than half a year, and most of the time he was near the thatched hut, except for those disciples in the Medicine Valley, I believe that these Wugu elders would not recognize him.

Ling Xu secretly inserted into the queue of the crowd, he was in the middle, looking at the vast sea of people, these eager young men were at least thousands.

The boy felt a little dizzy, when did this have to wait for me?

"Why are you kidding in line!"

Ling Xu was embarrassed, and when he turned around, he saw the person who had just spoken. It was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, half a head taller than himself, wearing a light blue and white linen shirt, his face was red and his teeth were white, he was a little fat, he felt like a boy, and his eyes were very clear.

Ling Xu thought to himself: "This person is like those gentlemen, he is so rich, and he eats so fat, the food must be good!"

Then he leaned up to the young man, showed him his token for entering and exiting the valley, and whispered: "Don't stretch out, in fact, I am already a disciple of Nanming Valley, and my master asked me to come out to assess and practice with you." ”

The young man looked at Ling Xu in shock, and then said, "Then you can't cut the queue either." ”

Ling Xu thought that it was not easy to get it done, his eyes rolled, and he said: "Actually, this is the unspoken rule of Nanming Valley, did you see the elders over there, he saw me cut in line just now, but when he recognized me, he didn't say anything." ”

This is naturally made up, and the elders who guide the order from a distance naturally do not see themselves. After thinking about it, he took out a small bracelet from his bosom, and a strange light flowed, which was his "trophy".

Quietly stuffed into the young man's hand, he smiled brightly and said, "If you enter Nanming Valley, you will know, Senior Brother will give you a gadget, and then talk to the assessment elder to make it easier for you to enter the valley." ”

The young man smiled heartily and returned the bracelet to Ling Xu: "I believe that you are, if you take this back, I will definitely be able to enter Nanming Valley!"

Then he stretched out a hand to Ling Xu and said with a smile: "Senior brother, my name is Tang Hongmao." ”

Ling Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"My name is Ling Xu..."

The sun is getting stronger and stronger, and the young men outside the valley are complaining. Some elders looked at the crowd and found that there were also many young people with resolute eyes, unmoved by the scorching sun, and couldn't help nodding slightly: "It seems that there are many good seedlings in this session. ”

Ling Xu chatted with the blue-clothed young man without a word, and learned that he was a son of the Tang family of the Jiangnan family, the Tang family is the largest family in Jiangnan, and he has traveled with the elders of the family to see a lot of strange stories about the rivers and lakes. Ling Xu was very curious about these strange news, and what he heard was shouting, causing some elders and deacons to look over and shake their heads slightly.

In their opinion, the way of cultivation pays attention to the quiet body and mind, and if this son is so calm, it will be difficult to become a great weapon after all!

It didn't take long for Ling Xu to come here, Ling Xu pushed the blue-clothed young man forward and said, "Senior Brother Tang, you go first, I'll cheer you up." ”

Tang Hongmao didn't say much, and got on the platform. Ling Xu communicated with him for a while, and he could roughly see the character of this young man, innocent, straightforward, with a straight waist, and an arrogance in his bones.

"Hit the spiritual veins and stroke the test stone with one hand. The middle-aged elder on the side spoke.

The blue-clothed young man's eyes were clear, stirring up the spiritual veins in his body, and he stretched out his palm to gently stroke the test stone, and suddenly this big stone shone brightly, spiraled up, and rushed up to a height of more than ten zhang, lasting for a long time.

The elder next to him was a little surprised at the moment, silently measured the height of the light, and said loudly: "The spiritual vein is intact, the high-grade spiritual vein, qualified!" Turning to look at Tang Hongmao, he said softly: "Little brother go over here, you can leave after you are registered, and wait for the follow-up assessment notice." ”

Tang Hongmao bowed solemnly, then looked at Ling Xu and said, "Teacher... Brother Ling, I'll wait for you later. ”

The elder watched Tang Hongmao leave, thinking that this young man would be a good seedling in the valley in the future, and he would definitely cultivate it well.

Then seeing Ling Xu coming to the stage with a grin, his face couldn't help but darken. Thinking that the relationship between these two people seems to be good, it is best for this son not to pass the assessment, so as not to affect the cultivation path of the previous good seedling.

Ling Xu saluted the elder, then looked at the big stone curiously, touched it, knocked it, and the big stone did not react.

"Hit the spiritual veins and stroke the test stone with one hand. The elder repeated his previous words, but there were two more green tendons on his forehead.

Ling Xu stirred up qi and blood, boiling in his body, and then gently put his hand on it, still no response. I thought to myself, "It seems that the big stone only reacts to the spiritual veins. “

"Waste veins or mortal veins, unqualified!"

When the elder saw that he had finished touching his mouth, he shouted, and various voices came from under the platform.

"Providence is so, boy, you better go home and farm!"

"Another waste vein wants to fish in troubled waters, it's really overwhelming!"

Ling Xu smiled, looked at the crowd below, saluted the elder, and said, "Please give me another chance." The crowd below began to heckle again.

"You're going to try again, kid?"

"If everybody tries several times, when will it take to finish it?"

The elder was also about to speak, Ling Xu shouted: "A moment is enough!" With that, he used his qi and blood to slam into the spirit vein, and the beast-shaped spirit vein in his body shone brightly, but outsiders couldn't see it.

Then he placed his palm on the test stone, and the whole large stone trembled as if it was about to fall. The crowd in the rear was so frightened that they ran away, for fear of being smashed, and the light on the stone pattern flowed, ready to go.

Immediately after that, the light rushed into the sky, and dispersed a flock of geese that were flying by, and the crowd below exclaimed, and the test elder almost sat on the ground in fright, looking up, how can this measure the height? At least hundreds of zhang high!

The people at the other test tables also looked at it one after another, dumbfounded, and some of them muttered, "Holy vein?

"How is it possible? I haven't heard of a holy vein being born for thousands of years, is this true or false?"

It took a long time for the light to gradually dissipate, Ling Xu looked at the stupefied crowd below, satisfied, patted the sluggish elder, and said with a smile: "Elder, have I passed?"

The elder came back to his senses and saw that this kid was saluting, so he was so frightened that he immediately returned the salute and said, "Naturally, just go to the rear to register." Then I thought about it, and I didn't know if it was the Holy Vein, or if there was something wrong with the test stone.

But this is only the first level of the assessment, if you just pretend to be a ghost, you will definitely not be able to pass the later assessment, and then you don't have to worry about yourself, and then Lang said: "Suspected holy vein, qualified!"

The crowd below looked at each other in disbelief. After Ling Xu finished registering, he saw Tang Hongmao with an adoring expression on his face.

"Senior Brother Ling, is that what you made the move?" Before Ling Xu could speak, he couldn't help but ask.

Ling Xu was a little fluttering, and said proudly: "It's just a little trouble." ”

Then he saw a white crane flying out from the rock wall, and there were the Medicine Valley Lord and the two elders sitting above, Ling Xu was a little worried about being recognized, after all, he ran out secretly, and hurriedly asked Tang Hongmao: "That's the end of today's assessment, where are you going next?"

The young man in blue said: "I am staying at a guest house in a nearby town, I should go back in a while, but I have to wait, there are a few others who came with me today." ”

Ling Xu saw that the white crane was flying towards this side, and hurriedly pulled Tang Hongmao and said, "Anyway, I'm fine, so I'll go with you to find them." Then he hurried out of here.

After a while, the Medicine Valley Lord came to the platform.

"I've seen the Valley Master of Medicine Valley. When the test elder saw this, he hurried over and saluted.

The Valley Master of Medicine Valley still looked cold, as if he was about to freeze three feet, glanced at the test stone, and asked, "I heard that a Holy Vein boy appeared?"

"I don't know if it's a holy vein, but the light soars into the sky. The elder didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and looked back at the registry, where there was no sign of the young man. "Hey, that young man is still here. ”

Hundreds of zhang of light, even if it is not a holy vein, it is not far behind! The temperamental woman then said, "Take the roster and show it to me." ”

"Yes. ”

Then the elder respectfully handed over the roster, and the Medicine Valley Lord glanced at it: "But this one is called Ling Xu?"

"It's him. ”

"Ling Xu, Ling Xu..."

The Medicine Valley Lord silently recited the name twice, then turned around and left.
