As he spoke, the boy pointed to a painting on the wall of the bamboo building's hibernation.

Everyone nodded, the painting was the only calligraphy painting in the entire bamboo building, I don't know who wrote it, painting a goshawk fighting in the sky.

This painting is extremely clever, the goshawk's iron wings, steel feathers, silver claws and golden hooks, delicate.

At first glance, people felt an incomparably fierce momentum rushing towards them, and everyone felt a slight pain in their eyes when they looked at this picture, as if the eagle would break out of the paper in the next second.

The elder said. Alchemy talismans are too cumbersome, so it is very important to learn this, and even if students without talent come to study, it is a pure waste of time. And the Nine Xuan Black Wood in front of you is the most important tool to test whether you have the talent for refining medicine. ”

The boy cleared his throat and solemnly rolled up his sleeves.

"Your task now is to carve the Nine Xuan Black Wood in front of you into the shape of that goshawk. Ultimately, it will be based on what you have carved out to guess your aptitude for the talisman. After everyone has finished carving, the elders come out to make a decision. ”

As he spoke, the boy took out a dozen sharp spirit carving knives from upstairs and handed them to each of them in turn, nodding at everyone: "Let's start." ”

"Is this a Jiuxuan Black Wood?" is guilty of ...... now," someone sighed lowly. The Nine Xuan Black Wood is inherently dense and tough, even if it is cut with a blade forged from a hundred refined steel, it is one of the hardest spirit trees that can be collected in the Lingquan Forest.

If you want to carve on this kind of wood, even if you have a sharp spirit carving knife to help, you have to make the monk have extremely deep spiritual cultivation in order to be able to make a knife.

And among the people, except for Chu Chen, who had just stepped into the realm of the Spirit Spring, the others had more or less reached the realm of "Human Spring" or even "Earth Spring".

Generally speaking, people with this kind of cultivation can barely carve the Nine Xuan Black Wood.

However, Chu Chen, who had just reached the "Second Order of Human Spring" not long after stepping into the Lingquan realm, was the one with the lowest cultivation on the surface, so a few people glanced at Chu Chen a few times at the first time, and they all showed a gloating look.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this elder to be so **, and actually let us carve something like Jiuxuan Black Wood...... However, there is the kid who has just stepped into the Lingquan realm to be at the bottom, even if he is embarrassed, he will be the first to be embarrassed. ”

"That's right, we don't have to worry about having that kid at the bottom, so that although it won't seem so useless in front of His Royal Highness the Prince...... If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values it this time and accepts it as his command, a few of us will really be on the rise. ”

"Well, everyone should work hard this time, and show yourself well in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

......

With Chu Chen's spiritual acuity, let alone the whispering of a few people, even if a mosquito moves his toes, he can feel it clearly.

It's just that with his temperament, he doesn't have time to pay attention to this kind of villain who only dares to whisper behind his back, so he picked up the Jiuxuan black wood in front of him and looked at it carefully.

The Nine Dark Wood is known as one of the hardest spirit trees, so its internal structure is very different from that of ordinary trees.

Generally, the internal grain of wood is striped, because of the different materials, densities, and water absorption, it presents a layered structure with different densities.

The black wood is pitch black, and the internal wood grain is not striped, but presents a structure similar to fish scales, and this fish scale pattern is particularly fine. When you touch it with your hand, you can feel a smooth and warm touch, just like fine iron.

In ancient times, a sage once said: "The so-called carving is to remove the extra corners and corners." ”

Therefore, the most important thing in the way of carving is to carve along the grain of wood, and the special fish scale pattern of Jiuxuan black wood is countless times more complex than the general stripe pattern, which also determines that its carving difficulty is far beyond the general material, because there is no way to straighten out the texture.

Therefore, even with Chu Chen's spiritual strength, the moment he picked up the Nine Xuan Black Wood, he actually had a feeling that he had nowhere to go under the knife, so he frowned slightly and began to look at it carefully.

On the other side, while Chu Chen was carefully looking at every inch of the material of the Nine Xuan Black Wood, Shen Qian had already begun to carve it.

The little fairy knew very well how hard the Nine Xuan Black Wood was, so as soon as she came up, she used all her spiritual power, and her fingertips bloomed with a dazzling light of spiritual power, and the entire spiritual carving knife that was blurred became brilliant.

Although she was mentally prepared for the realization, Shen Qian was still a little surprised when she actually went under the knife.

This piece of black wood was too hard, she had already used all the spiritual power in her body, and every time she could only carve a shallow scratch on the black wood...... Do you want to carve out an eagle and a monkey?

Seeing that Shen Qian had already begun to go under the knife.

Huangfu Yin smiled slightly, his palm shook slightly, and the vast and thick spiritual power wrapped in the spirit carving knife was like an elegant butterfly dancing.

As soon as the outstanding disciples of the Heavenly Academy made a move, they immediately showed their extraordinaryness, and everyone saw that the spirit carving knife in the void turned into a dazzling electric light and galloped vertically and horizontally, and the black black wood chips of the Nine Xuanxuan Black Wood were scattered in all directions, without any trace of fatigue and condensation.

"It is worthy of Senior Brother Huangfu! this cultivation is really breathtaking!"

Seeing the incomparably gorgeous scene in front of him, the man in purple sighed slightly, and his face was full of reverence.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Shen Qian's hard work to get a sense of how hard this black wood is, but this wood, which is harder than a hundred refined steel, actually looks like a gathering of mud and sand in Huangfu Yin's hands, and there is no hard feeling at all, and this control of spiritual power alone is enough to be called extraordinary.

"Of course, His Royal Highness's cultivation is proud of the entire Medicine Palace students, and the Nine Xuan Black Wood is nothing!" beside the purple-clothed man, a man in a goose-yellow dress laughed softly, looking at Huang Fuyin's eyes with brilliance.

"The students of the Heavenly Academy are really famous. Li Taixin sighed lightly and began to shoot. After all, he is an older man, so he has a very cautious personality.

Li Taixin's shot is very calm, and he often has to think about it for a while every time he makes a knife, and he seems to be correcting the direction and strength of his knife at any time, and he looks extremely serious.

And not far from him, Qi Fei, who had been cold-faced, finally began to go under the knife. Chu Chen originally thought that Qi Fei had already reached the middle and late stages of the Spirit Spring, and he must have been very decisive and quick when he slashed the knife. But what surprised him was that Qi Fei's movements were not fast, and he was very inconspicuous and decent.
