After lunch, we will take a spiritual qualification test.

At this point the rain stopped.

Droplets of water fall intermittently from the eaves and converge into small water pods on the potholed ground, reflecting the gray sky.

The smell of earth fills the entire courtyard.

When the qualification test was about to begin, Gu Xu's mood was still very calm.

Because he knew that his cultivation talent was very strong—after all, he had traded for his lifespan.

As for how strong it is, how it compares to the other geniuses of the Great Qi Dynasty, he doesn't know.

But he'll know right away.

I saw that the two entourages brought by Chu Fengge in the exorcist division panted and brought a heavy black stone and placed it in the middle of the courtyard.

The stone was half a man's height and looked smooth and round.

"This is the Tianyan Stone," Shi Xiaohan stood beside Gu Xu and introduced to him, "It is a special magic weapon refined by the Demon Exorcist Monk with Xuanyu, and it has the power to derive the Heavenly Machine. As soon as you put your hand on this stone and inject the true element into it, it will produce visions. ”

What vision? The third stage of fighting qi?

Gu Xu secretly complained.

"There are grades of the visions produced by Tianyan Stone," Shi Xiaohan paused for a moment, and then introduced, "The lowest is the ninth grade, and the highest is the first grade." The higher the cultivation potential of a monk, the higher the level of vision, including the sun, moon and stars, rivers, lakes and seas, as well as flowers and trees, birds, beasts, insects, fish, and so on. ”

"Xiao Han, have you used Tianyan Stone to test your qualifications before?" Gu Xu asked with some curiosity.

Shi Xiaohan clasped his hands in front of his chest, and his face showed a little smugness: "Of course I have tested it." At the beginning, I measured the four-grade vision 'Lonely Bird and Falling Xia', and my relatives and friends said that I was an unprecedented genius for the whole family, and I would definitely achieve a great career in the future. ”

"When the woman became a second realm monk at the age of seventeen, how could she not be a genius?" Gu Xu habitually said what she liked to hear, "It seems that this Tianyanshi is quite discerning." ”

"Your results will definitely not be worse than mine," Shi Xiaohan also began to habitually blow to each other, "Maybe you can measure a rare three-grade anomaly."

"Have you heard of Su Xiao of the Sword Pavilion? He is because he measured the three-grade vision 'Ten Thousand Swords Frost Cold', and now he is regarded as an ancestor by the entire Sword Pavilion.

"And this examiner from the capital, Lord Chu, also won the favor of the head of the exorcist Siluo because of the measurement of the three-grade vision 'Ten Miles of Spring Breeze'......"

It seems that Chu Fengge does have narcissistic capital.

Hearing this, Gu Xu thought silently.

…………

At this moment, the inner courtyard of the yamen was already crowded with people watching the excitement.

Today's assessment is undoubtedly a major event that Yishui County has not seen for many years.

The monks of the Exorcism Division, and even the mortal officials, temporarily put aside their work and rushed to watch.

"Do you think Brother Gu is more powerful than this middle-aged uncle in Qingzhou Mansion?"

"Brother Gu is the best in the world," Wang Yang took the lead in shouting, "I don't accept rebuttals." ”

"Gu Xu, you have to win glory for our Yishui!" Someone else climbed onto the windowsill and shouted at Gu Xu, "I don't want a foreigner to be my immediate boss!" ”

Gu Xu smiled and said nothing.

Moments later, officials from the capital knocked on the wooden walls a few times, signaling everyone present to remain quiet, and at the same time announcing the official start of the qualification test.

"That'...... Brother Gu, I'll go over first? Ma Qin asked Gu Xu in a low voice.

Early death and early superbirth. This was Machin's inner thoughts at this time.

As long as he slipped fast enough after the test, he would not be hit by Gu Xu's pervert.

"No problem." Gu Xu readily agreed.

Immediately, Ma Qin took a deep breath, strode forward, put his hand on the "Tianyan Stone", and injected True Yuan into it.

Then he closed his eyes and whispered over and over again: "Taishang Haotian, Emperor Ziwei, please bless me......"

He was so nervous that he didn't even dare to open his eyes to see the results.

A few seconds later, the silent "Tianyan Stone" finally changed.

I saw that on the dark surface of the "Tianyan Stone", there was a sudden milky white light, which was smooth and inconspicuous, like hundreds of fireflies dancing in the summer night.

"Seven Visions, 'Starry Night Fireflies'." The officials in the capital announced in a cold tone.

This result did not exceed Machin's expectations.

Because he knew that he was just an ordinary person, not one of those peerless geniuses with amazing qualifications.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have practiced for nearly twenty years, and he would still be an ordinary Second Realm monk.

So he sighed and turned and stepped into the crowd.

The whispers of the crowd of onlookers lingered in his ears:

"This person from Qingzhou Mansion is nothing more than that......"

"I think I can do it too......"

…………

In the Great Qi Dynasty, the Nine Grades were the lowest qualifications, and there was almost no value in cultivating.

The seventh and eighth grades belong to the ordinary level.

The fifth and sixth grades are at the upper middle level. If you practice diligently, you may have the opportunity to become a capable minister in charge.

The third and fourth grades are relatively rare, and they are often regarded as the core heirs by large sects and large families, and they devote resources to focus on cultivation.

Erpin can be said to be a rare genius in a century. As long as you don't die halfway, you can basically grow into the top master of the Great Qi Dynasty.

As for the first product, it only exists in legends.

"Gu Xu, it's your turn."

After Ma Qin left the courtyard, Shi Xiaohan pulled Gu Xu's sleeve and whispered.

Gu Xu nodded, and under the gaze of everyone, he stepped forward.

Then he reached out and touched the swarthy "Tianyan Stone".

Slippery, cool, without the slightest temperature.

"I don't know if the talent I exchanged for my life is worth the price." He thought so as he poured True Yuan into the stone.

The temperature on the surface of the celestial stone began to rise sharply.

Shi Xiaohan looked at him intently, unconsciously holding his breath.

Wang Yang stood in the crowd on tiptoe, jumping up from time to time, just to see more clearly.

Chen Jisheng stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, his pupils reflected Gu Xu's every movement, but there was no expression on his face as always.

Today was a rainy day.

The sky was gray and the yard was foggy.

The whole world is like a plain black and white ink painting.

However, the moment Gu Xu touched the "Tianyan Stone", this black and white painting scroll was suddenly dyed with bright and vivid colors.

The withered branches sprouted new green, the stagnant water on the ground shone brightly, and even the sparrows perched on the eaves seemed to change their clean and beautiful feathers, chirping happily.

Yangchun Budeze, all things are brilliant.

People subconsciously squinted their eyes, almost thinking that the autumn and winter seasons of slaughter had long passed, and the brightest spring days had arrived.

And the handsome young man in a green shirt stood calmly in the place where the light shone the most.

The golden sun surrounded him, surrounded him, guarded him, and made him look like a god of light.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Yang stood in place dumbfounded, and wanted to compose a poem to express his excitement, but because of the lack of literary talent, he finally blurted out a sentence: "Brother Gu is really handsome." ”

On the other side, Shi Xiaohan crossed his waist and looked around at the jaw-dropping crowd, with a little smugness on his face, thinking: Heh, I already knew that Gu Xu was very powerful.

Chen Jisheng showed a complicated smile on his face, with both relief and pity in his eyes.
