"All the disciples of the Daoist Academy who have passed the assessment this time will be limited to half an hour, so hurry up and gather in front of the Inheritance Pavilion!"

A grand avenue sounded suddenly, with the Inheritance Pavilion as the center, and quickly spread in all directions.

In various courtyards, cultivation rooms, and even in caves.

A pair of eyes opened suddenly, and the expressions on their faces were either excited, apprehensive, or suspicious.

The Seventh Provisional Hospital.

Wang Jiaoxi sat on the futon, his eyes slightly closed.

His sermon echoed in the lecture hall.

But at this moment, the sound stopped abruptly.

Wang Jiaoxi glanced at the direction of the Inheritance Pavilion with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but say, "So fast? This year's ...... There are too many geniuses, and I don't know how Senior Brother Zhang is cultivating now. With his talent, he should have a chance to enter the top 20~"

After coming back to his senses.

saw his gaze sweep over the faces of more than forty people in the audience, and said lightly:

"You still have three days to wait, if you can't get started with the practice of contemplation after three days, you won't have a chance with my Longhu Daoist Academy, so go back and be a mortal with peace of mind."

When everyone in the audience heard this, they all showed desperate and frustrated expressions, and sobs came and went.

......

......

Inside the training room.

As the last pill of Yunling Pill was swallowed into his abdomen, a flush suddenly rose on Zhang Jing's face.

The majestic aura erupted like a flood.

Whoa—

The illusory river in Zhang Jing's body flowed faster and faster, continuously refining the spiritual energy into pitch-black spiritual power.

Wisps of spiritual power diffused in the dantian, surging rapidly.

It seems that the next moment it will be boiling.

Juyuan's aura kept shrinking and blooming. Where the light passed, the spiritual power returned to stability, but the aura became heavier and more oppressive.

A moment.

It's as if we've reached the limit.

The spiritual power boiled violently, and then under the strong pressure, it began to merge little by little.

"The second layer of gas refining!"

A touch of excitement appeared on Zhang Jing's face, and the aura on his body suddenly soared.

Then, take a deep breath -

The expression on his face regained his composure again, and he continued to cultivate the Five Tibetan Interpretation Shui Yuan Note without hurry.

It wasn't until the changes in the dantian were completely completed and the spiritual power returned to stability that Zhang Jing slowly opened his eyes and carefully felt the changes in the second layer of qi refining.

The spiritual power is more vigorous, the fluctuations are more intense, and the spiritual sense and body have also been strengthened to a great extent.

In order to verify the effect.

Zhang Jing controlled his spiritual sense to outline the spell pattern of the Ice Condensing Blade Technique, and the spiritual power was injected into it.

In just three or five breaths, a trembling edge appeared in his hand, and the terrifying sharp aura directly penetrated through the skin and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Really!

Zhang Jing's eyes flashed with a look of enlightenment.

It was obviously the same spell, but because the second layer of Qi refining had stronger spiritual sense and spiritual power, the power displayed was very different.

Looking at the Ice Condensing Blade Technique in his hand, Zhang Jing smiled slightly, and then summoned the Five Magic Spirit River.

In an instant, I saw a spirit river that was wider and turbulent than before suddenly appeared, surrounding Zhang Jing. Five strange-looking spell fish were swimming happily in the river.

My heart moved.

Zhang Jing slowly sent the Ice Condensing Blade Technique in his hand into the Spirit River, and in an instant, he saw that it had turned into a spell fish that was significantly larger.

"Sure enough, the capacity of the Five Magic Spirit River has increased with cultivation...... Can you fill eight spells? ”

With a movement in his heart, the jade talisman slowly appeared in front of him.

Seeing some messy skill information on it, Zhang Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It seems that you have to sort these skills into categories and sort them out first." ”

Then, under his control, the jade talisman began to flicker.

Not much.

"I've learned a lot of spell skills."

Zhang Jing couldn't help but show a smile in the corner of his eyes.

In addition—

He wiped the storage bag from his waist with one hand.

Suddenly, a flying sword wrapped in dark aura appeared in front of him, and then kept shuttling through the room, exuding bursts of fierce aura.

The power of this flying sword at this moment is far better than that of the man in black at the beginning.

"After the cultivation is improved, the flying sword is really more handy to control, and the power is almost comparable to the Ice Condensing Blade Technique blessed by the [Sharp] characteristic."

Zhang Jing nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, his current conventional means of fighting the enemy can be mainly based on magic weapons.

The Five Magic Spirit River is used as a means of aiding and changing the situation, storing different types of spells in it according to different situations.

The combination of the two is enough for Zhang Jing to cope with most situations.

But at this time.

A grand sound suddenly resounded in my ears.

Zhang Jing was stunned at first, and then immediately reacted.

"It seems that the Taoist Academy is going to announce the competition method for this assessment and ranking, and the time is indeed about the same."

He got up and walked out.

......

......

Not yet to the Heritage Pavilion.

Zhang Jing saw these stone pillars standing on the square from a distance, tall and majestic, and just looking at them gave people a feeling of depression.

When he approached the Inheritance Pavilion, this feeling of depression became even stronger.

Unconsciously look away from the stone pillar.

Only then did Zhang Jing notice that at this time, the front of the Inheritance Pavilion was already crowded with nearly a hundred people, including men and women, with immature faces. And there is a steady stream of people coming here from afar.

On the periphery, there were more than a dozen disciples of the outer courtyard in green robes standing scattered, as if they were watching the excitement.

"Brother Zhang, this way."

Suddenly, a shout came from not far away.

Zhang Jingxun went to the prestige, but found that it was Ji Bochang who was waving at him.

"Brother Ji, you came so early?"

Zhang Jing walked lightly to the other party's side and asked in some surprise.

"Oh, I'm just right here. By the way, Brother Zhang, I have good news for you. Ji Bochang said excitedly.

"What's the good news?"

"Isn't it because your Dao Gong score is too high, so you haven't chosen to join the mission team yet? I grinded with my sister for a long time, and finally let her relax. As long as you can enter the top 20 in this assessment, the senior sister will promise to recommend you to join the five-color team, and the Dao Gong commission can be reduced to half percent. ”

"Thank you, Brother Ji."

Zhang Jing said with a smile, inexplicably moved in his heart.

Although his goal this time is to rank in the top ten in the assessment, Ji Bochang doesn't know about it.

It is rare for the other party to be able to do this level without knowing it.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, when you enter the five-color team, don't mention the commission to others." Ji Bo often instructed.

"Okay."

Zhang Jing agreed.

While the two were talking, more and more people gathered.

There was no one to command, but the crowd was spontaneously divided into three parts, which were clearly distinguished.

The sound of talking one after another formed a noisy sound.

"Do you know what the Daoist Academy is asking us to gather here for?" Someone in the back whispered.

"You know?"

"That's nature," said someone who asked, and the speaker's tone unconsciously high-pitched, "Do you see twenty-nine people standing at the front?" They are the geniuses who got the second class this time! ”

"What does this have to do with the Taoist Academy asking us to gather?"

"Don't you notice that those second-class geniuses rarely appear before our eyes? You know, they live in the same area as us. ”

"Shhhh

As soon as they finished speaking, they felt that the whole square suddenly became silent.

Everyone looked at the new man and woman at the forefront.

Level! Demons!

The same words came to everyone's minds.

Looking at those two figures, those outer courtyard disciples who originally looked lively also unconsciously showed a trace of seriousness on their faces at this moment.

In the midst of the crowd.

Zhang Jing also looked at the two figures in the front, with an ancient expression on his face, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Two first-class demons, ......"

Ji Bochang's eyes were complicated, and his lips squirmed, but he didn't know what to say.

The next moment, the silence in the square was broken by a loud voice.

"Looks like everyone is here."

The moment the voice sounded, I saw two purple-robed figures slowly falling from the top of the stone pillar, and finally stopped above everyone.

Zhang Jing looked up, and then felt that one of the purple-robed figures was somewhat familiar.

Is that...... Senior Brother Liu?

Although the other party changed his clothes, Zhang Jing still recognized it.

I saw Senior Brother Liu with a serious face and said:

"Now I announce the content of the second phase of the assessment of the Longhu Taoist Academy."

"Considering that in recent years, many junior disciples of the Daoist Academy have died while performing the task of suppressing demons, so many inner courtyards of our Inheritance Pavilion have unanimously decided to adopt the form of fighting methods in the second stage to determine the final ranking of this assessment. As a warning to you, the heart of the Tao is indispensable. ”

"Three days later, the location is here." Another purple-robed man spoke:

"Ranking rewards, the top 10 will have 50 gongs per month, the 10th to 20th will have 20 gongs per month, and the 20th to 30th will have 5 gongs per month, which will continue to be issued for one year."

With that, the two of them turned into two rays of light and went straight into the Inheritance Pavilion.

There was silence in the square at first.

Subsequently.

Boom –

The sound began to boil.

The people standing behind were at a loss and some with a look of despair.

"What fighting? I don't know how to spell, how can I fight? ”

"We haven't breathed in our bodies yet, do we want to take our fists?"

"Why did you only talk about the top 30 prizes? What about the back? ”

"There's just no reward......

"Wait, you just said that those second-class geniuses rarely appear in front of us, could it be related to this?" Someone suddenly remembered what he had just heard and asked in surprise.

"Yes, they've known about it for a long time, so they're all in retreat in order to compete for rankings."

"It's not fair!"

"Hehe, how do you want to be fair? Those rewards are not for us at all. It is said that many mission teams in the outer courtyard will be present that day, and the purpose of our participation is to behave as well as possible and try to get the attention of a certain mission team. ”

......

The other side.

"I didn't expect it to be a fighting method, and now I have to work hard to cultivate and spells, as well as magic weapons." Ji Bo often said helplessly when he heard this.

"Brother Ji, no matter which way, isn't that what you end up fighting for? It's just that the fighting method is more direct. ”

Zhang Jing said indifferently.

This is good news for him, who has broken through to the second layer of qi refining, has both offensive and defensive magic weapons, and also has the five magic spirit rivers.

"Alas~ Brother Zhang, you're right, there are still three days, I hope to break through to the second layer of qi refining."

Ji Bochang sighed, and then said goodbye: "Brother Zhang, I'll go back to practice first, and I will leave first." ”

"Farewell."

After speaking, Zhang Jing also walked back.

Meanwhile.

Yong'an City, Zhang Ji Pharmacy.

"It's been almost a month, and Jing'er hasn't been away from us for so long. Alas~ I don't know how he is now, is he used to eating food there, is he used to sleeping in bed, will he be bullied? ”

Mother Zhang said while wiping her tears.

Father Zhang, who was next to him, pulled Mother Zhang into his arms when he heard this, and comforted: "Lady, don't worry anymore, Jing'er has grown up." ”

"How can you not be worried?" 、

Between words.

Tuk Tuk –

There was a knock on the door of the pharmacy.

"Here we are." Zhang's father responded with a friendly sound, and then ran quickly to open the door.

Zhang's mother also hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face with her cuffs.

"Zhang Langzhong, our boss sent me to ask you, when can you move out?"

"I'm really sorry, our family Jing'er will be back in three or five days, and we will definitely move out as soon as he comes back."

Mother Zhang walked out and saw Zhang's father saying something respectfully to a middle-aged man in a brocade robe.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man said impatiently: "Zhang Langzhong, I hope you can talk and count, just wait for your son to move away as soon as he comes back." Our host is in a hurry. ”

"Got it, don't worry."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man nodded, turned his head and walked out of the pharmacy.

Behind him, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother glanced at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It didn't take a while.

The shopkeeper Liu next door quietly walked in, met Zhang's father's gaze, and sighed:

"Alas, Zhang Langzhong, are they urging you again?"

"yes." Father Zhang nodded helplessly.

"Grandma's, they also urged me, if it weren't for Zhang Langzhong, you kept dragging it, our family would have been driven away a long time ago."

"If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the Hundred Medicine Pavilion knew the immortal chief, he really couldn't afford to provoke him, and he would want to buy my shop with such a little money and do his spring and autumn dreams!"

Shopkeeper Liu scolded and scolded.

"Okay, shopkeeper Liu, beware of the trouble coming out of your mouth." Father Zhang smiled and said with relief.

"By the way, Zhang Langzhong, where did your family Zhang Jing go, he hasn't returned for a whole month?"

Zhang's father wanted to say something, but Zhang's mother gave him a look.

Then I heard Zhang's mother say with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liu, my Zhang Jing went to visit relatives in a neighboring county, and he will be back soon." ”

"I see."

After Shopkeeper Liu left, Zhang's father asked:

"Lady, why are you—"

"Husband, you are confused, you just tell them this, then when Jing'er comes back, they will inevitably ask questions. Isn't that exciting? ”

Zhang's mother gave Zhang's father a blank look.

"I see, I see, it's still thoughtful!" Father Zhang suddenly realized.
