"By the way, do you know how this cultivation test works?"

Xiang Yang looked at Su Xuan with a confused face.

"Didn't your master tell you about such an important matter?"

Su Xuan lowered his head and looked shy.

"My master, he's more ...... Well, the elusive. I haven't had time to ask about this kind of thing. ”

Xiang Yang looked at him helplessly, and said with emotion: "The apprentice is stupid and stupid, the master is mysterious, you are really a pair of master and apprentice who are out of tune." ”

She pointed to the stone wall beside Elder Wang and explained, "See, it's the echo wall that can test our cultivation." ”

"Sound bar?"

Su Xuan looked at the echo wall that was no different from the ordinary stone wall, and asked, "How can a mountain wall test the cultivation?"

"How do I know that!"

Xiang Yang glared at him angrily.

"Anyway, as long as you place your palm on it, the sound bar will automatically record everyone's breath. When it comes to the next test, it will make different degrees of noise according to the progress of your cultivation during the period, and the elders will use this to judge whether you are diligent in your cultivation. ”

"I see. ”

Su Xuan suddenly realized.

Combined with the rule that if you fail twice in a row, you will be cleared of the inner door, this echo wall is undoubtedly a horsewhip, whipping disciples who are negligent and slack and not diligent in cultivation at any time.

"Wang Huashan, you come to test it first. Elder Wang pointed to a young man in white.

Xiang Yang's gaze at this young man was full of admiration, and she said, "Senior Brother Wang is extremely talented and has a resolute temperament. Among the disciples of the original generation, he was second only to the existence of senior brother Wang Kaining. It's a pity that Senior Brother finally defected, and Senior Brother Wang resolutely chose to stay in the sect after questioning him loudly. Fortunately, there are also many loyal disciples like Senior Brother Wang in the sect, so Fengtian Sect will not be completely collapsed. ”

After Su Xuan heard the story, he also looked at the young man in white with admiration.

When the sect is in danger, choose not to give up. This seems to be a good thing to do, but if it really comes to that time, everyone's choice will be very difficult.

Wang Huashan calmly stepped forward and placed his palm on the echo wall.

The mountain wall shook, and then everyone could hear the sound of a trickle of water coming from it.

"Sure enough, Senior Brother Wang's performance is as stable as ever!"

"Yes, it's a trickle every time, and it doesn't progress or regress. ”

"It's already scary!"

Listening to everyone's discussion and evaluation, Wang Huashan is still light.

Elder Wang looked at him with admiration and said, "Yes, not arrogant or discouraged, there is everyone's style. It's not a lot of progress, but it's stable. Remember, you can't make a river or a sea without accumulating small streams. If you can remain so diligent in the future, sooner or later, you will surely turn into rivers, lakes and seas, rushing above the nine heavens!"

"Yes, follow Elder Wang's teachings!"

Wang Huashan retreated safely, did not stop in the field, and disappeared directly from everyone's field of vision.

"Senior Brother Wang must have gone back to cultivate, he has always been unwilling to waste a single bit of time. ”

Xiang Yang sighed softly.

By the way, how old is Senior Brother Wang this year?"

Xiang Yang glanced at him, knowing what he was thinking, and said, "It's not me who hit you, there is only one place for our Fengtianzong in the imperial examination this time, it's better not to think too much." ”

Su Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Senior Brother Wang is nineteen this year, which happens to be the upper age limit for participating in the imperial examination. Let's not talk about how many years older he is than you, the strength and experience alone are not comparable to you. Wouldn't you feel a little ashamed after seeing Senior Brother's diligent attitude?"

"Shame?"

Su Xuan shook his head, he thought that his hardness would not be much different, but it was just ......

Thinking of the cultivation question that had been bothering him, he was silent for a moment.

The test is still going on in an orderly manner.

During this time, various sounds were constantly heard on the sound wall. Some are the crisp birdsong, some are the roar of wild beasts, and some are crashing waves.

The louder the voice, the more long-term progress he has made during this period, and these people are naturally overjoyed.

Correspondingly, there were those disciples who did not make any sound from the echo wall during the test. After being reprimanded by Elder Wang, he was scolded by his respective masters with a bitter face, and disappeared in a gray manner.

"Next, it's the test of the newly recruited second-generation disciples. ”

Elder Wang looked at the young faces of the young people below, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If it weren't for that incident, how could the number of second-generation disciples of my dignified Heavenly Sect be so scarce.

Yes, including Su Xuan and Xiang Yang, there were only about twenty new inner disciples in the sect.

This is tantamount to an extremely tragic thing for a sect.

"No, we're all touching the sound bar for the first time, how do we test it?"

Thinking of this question, Su Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Stupid!"

Xiang Yang glanced at him and replied, "So, this time it's just to let the echo wall record our breath." Next week, it's time to face the test. ”

"Oh. Su Xuan answered honestly.

While the two were talking, the first teenager had already stepped forward.

Under Elder Wang's encouraging eyes, the young man trembled and placed his right hand on the echo wall.

It was also shaken, and under the young man's slightly surprised look, a roaring sound suddenly came from the echo wall, like a mountain rock rolling down.

The boy seemed to be frightened, and stood motionless.

"Didn't the master say that it would be nice to just put the palm of your hand up to record your breath for the first time? Why did it suddenly make such a sound?"

The young man's question is also Su Xuan's question.

Xiang Yang was used to answering all kinds of questions for him, and at the same time, he deeply felt how unreliable his master was.

"The Echo Wall also has the effect of testing the qualifications of cultivators who touch him for the first time. ”

"Isn't that the same effect as the crystal ball in the shelter?"

"It's not the same. Xiang Yang shook his head slightly, "The test effect of the crystal ball is only useful for mortals. Inner disciples like us have at least planted the Nian Seed at this moment, and the crystal ball can no longer detect the brain domain, so we have lost the ability to test qualifications. The Echo Bar, on the other hand, continues to work like this, even for practitioners. And as before, the louder the voice, the higher the qualification. ”

"What is the qualification of this sound of rolling rocks?"

"I don't know about this, it depends on how Elder Wang judges. ”

"Rolling rocks ......"

Elder Wang groaned, and in the young man's worried eyes, he slowly commented, "The qualifications are acceptable. ”

The crystal ball's test of aptitude mainly focuses on the breadth of each person's brain domain and the circulation of meridians when they are still mortals.

The sound wall's test of qualifications is entirely based on the quality of the cultivator's mind. After all, mental power is born of the seed of thought. The quality of the roots often determines what the tree will eventually grow into.

"Such a loud voice is just a fair qualification!"

"Elder Wang is still as strict as ever!"

The young man looked confused, obviously dissatisfied with his evaluation of "acceptable qualifications".

However, he soon knew what a precious thing it was to be able to be evaluated like this in the mouth of the strict Elder Wang.

"The stream is babbling, and the qualifications are average. ”

"The spring water is knocking, and the qualifications are average. ”

"The book is loud, although it has charm, but the qualifications are still average. ”

......

After a dozen or so disciples with average qualifications in a row, Elder Wang couldn't help but show a disappointed look.

Could it be that those few sects are secretly suppressing it so excessively, and none of the disciples received this time have good qualifications?

Seeing that there were only three disciples left in the field who had not been tested, the young man who was the first to test before couldn't help but be proud, thinking that his qualifications could not be the best among everyone? No wonder the master fell in love with himself at a glance, it turned out that I was still a genius, Quack!

"The next one, Zeng Wenming. ”

"Zeng Wenming?"

Su Xuan's brows quietly, this surname gave him some kind of bad association.

"What's wrong?"

Xiang Yang noticed his abnormality and said, "He's my senior brother, and his qualifications are quite good." ”

"Your senior brother!"

Su Xuan's face became even more ugly.

"He won't have a younger brother who works as a handyman at the outer gate, right?"

"I think I've heard him say that his brother was bullied or something, but I don't know the specifics. ”

"Sure enough......"

Su Xuan wasn't afraid of anything, but he was just worried that this person was Zeng Xiangsheng's brother, and if he became hostile to him in the future, Xiang Yang would not be able to be a good person if he was sandwiched between the two.

Looking closely, this Zeng Wenming is somewhat similar to Zeng Xiangsheng, but compared to his younger brother, he is slightly thinner, and he is quite polite.

Su Xuan hoped that he would be as good as his name, pay attention to civilization, and not mess around to find trouble for himself.
