Chapter 8 Preparing for the Test
Zeng Xiaoshi closed his eyes, and the Heavenly Machine Technique began to predict, exuding a mysterious charm all over his body.
It is a kind of Taoist rhyme, formless, incomparably mysterious, gradually spreading outwards until it envelops the entire palace.
This is the limit of what he can predict at the moment, mainly for the fate of everyone in the palace, in order to deduce the changes in the palace.
After the prediction, Zeng Xiaoshi slowly opened his eyes, looking a little tired, with a hint of shock on his face, the result he had just predicted was too terrible.
Dakang failed miserably, blood flowed like a river, and the national fortune was only three years away.
After all, it is a kingdom with a population of tens of millions, how can it be said that it is defeated?
In order not to make mistakes, Zeng Xiaoshi predicted again, this time it took a long time, and the prediction result was clearer, but it was also more terrifying.
Not only is Dakang's national fortunes exhausted, King Dakang will have a death robbery within ten days, and the little princess is also ......
No, his own Heavenly Skill is only at the first level, and the predicted result must be inaccurate, this must be an illusion.
This night, Zeng Xiaoshi lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and if he didn't see King Dakang, his mission couldn't be carried out.
If King Dakang dies, his mediation task will also fail, and the task assigned by the master for the first time cannot be completed, what face will he have to see him in the future?
If the little princess has no news tomorrow, she must find a way to go to see King Dakang.
Fortunately, the next day, the little princess finally sent someone to deliver the news, saying that her father had agreed with him and intended to make him the national teacher, responsible for mediating the dispute between the three kingdoms.
It's just that the ministers of the court and the central government oppose it, thinking that it is too unreliable to hand over state affairs to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little Taoist priest.
Under her strong persuasion, in the end, King Dakang and the ministers reached a compromise, and let Zeng Xiaoshi first conduct the three-level test, showing his ability to mediate, and if he could pass the test, let him take on the important task of mediating the disputes between the three countries.
The little princess told him to be especially careful of a man named Prime Minister Jia, who was powerful and a core figure of the surrender faction, and had always been scheming.
After hearing the messenger's reply, Zeng Xiaoshi raised his eyebrows, Dakang and the ministers were too hateful, this country was about to die, and they were still so demanding of themselves.
If it weren't for the master's life, plus seeing the little princess pleasing to the eye, I really wanted to leave, I was here to help you, not to get power.
The time for the three-level test was scheduled to start at noon, and now there was still some time, Zeng Xiaoshi sent the messenger and began to prepare.
Although he has confidence in his immortal interpretation of the six arts, there are many old foxes in the court, and he has to guard against them for yin tricks.
Calm down and adjust quickly.
There must be contradictions in mediation, and no matter what situation Jia Chengxiang and others set up, they must be inseparable from contradictions.
In order to make themselves fail, Prime Minister Jia Cheng will definitely set up contradictions that are difficult to resolve, and even make people deliberately not listen to mediation.
Therefore, it is useless to simply reason, and it is even more useless to use the whip to suppress it, although the effect is very good, but who is Prime Minister Jia? He would let himself mediate in such a rough way?
Since you can't convince people with reason, and you can't convince people with force, then there is only "convincing people with art".
The master once said that the world is big, and there is no problem that the six arts of immortal solutions cannot solve.
Tomorrow, let's let everyone see the magic of the supreme magic technique of the Immortal Liberation Gate!
The Six Arts of Immortal Interpretation - Alchemy, Refining, Formation, Heavenly Machine, Calligraphy and Painting, and Music and Rhythm contain the most important auxiliary professions in the Xuankong Continent.
The martial arts of the Xuankong Continent are supreme, and the auxiliary professions are created to serve the martial arts.
Compared with martial arts, auxiliary professions are more talented, difficult to learn and difficult to master, and their professions are very noble.
Take alchemists as an example, the requirements for talent are extremely high, and cultivators must have two attributes, fire and wood, each accounting for fifty percent.
The vast majority of the martial artists in the Xuankong Continent are miscellaneous attributes, and the proportion is very chaotic, the fewer the attributes, the purer they are, and the higher their talents.
People with two attributes are very difficult, and they each account for 50 percent, such people are called dual-attribute perfect physique, which is too difficult to find, and there is more than one in a million.
And to become an alchemist, not only does it require a perfect physique with fire and wood attributes, but it also needs strong soul power, and the souls are born congenitally, most of them are not much different, and only a very small number of souls have mutated before they become stronger.
These two conditions are so harsh that they have already excluded ninety-nine percent of the people in the Xuankong Continent, but these are not enough.
These are just the basics, even if you have the qualifications to become an alchemist, to become a real alchemist, you must also have a complete inheritance.
Then he spent a lot of time cultivating diligently, and in the process of cultivating, he often had to spend countless precious materials to practice.
For various reasons, alchemists are extremely rare, and they have also achieved their incomparably noble status.
Take the Dakang Kingdom as an example, in a kingdom with a population of tens of millions, the number of alchemists is only a handful, and they are all only first-level practitioners, but they are regarded as a national treasure by the Dakang Kingdom.
The difficulty of other professions is not worse than that of an alchemist, and even the difficulty of a heavenly machine master is far greater than that of an alchemist, not to mention that there is no inferior kingdom like Dakang, even if it is a six-rank dynasty, it is difficult to see.
Zeng Xiaoeleven has six major professions, and he has successfully cultivated all of them within ten years, and his talent and qualifications are unimaginable, and no one will believe him.
But because of this, mediators are very rare in the Xuankong Continent, and most people have never even heard of them, no wonder the old Taoist priest said that mediators are the greatest profession.
During the time he went down the mountain, Zeng Xiaoshi had verified the strength of the six arts of mediation several times, and he had strong confidence in his heart.
Think through and start preparing.
During the mediation process, in order to prevent accidents among the mediation partners, the elixir must be prepared.
Zeng Xiaoshi's alchemy had reached the second level, and he used the medicinal materials sent by the little princess to refine three ordinary first-grade pills.
There is no need to prepare for the Heavenly Machine Technique and the Rhythm of Music, the refining tools are not needed for the time being, and the materials are not enough, and the formation is not necessary to be prepared.
But calligraphy and painting are very important, calligraphy and painting here does not refer to ordinary writing and painting, but a skill that relies on calligraphy and painting, uses the secret of the mystery as a means, and hooks the rhyme of heaven and earth, which can play a lot of wonderful uses.
For example, the painting talismans in calligraphy and painting, the use of talisman paper to make various spiritual talismans, in the mediation process, can often have unexpected effects.
Zeng Xiaoshi prepared illusion talismans, retreat talismans, vajra talismans, magic note notes, etc., these first- and second-order low-level spirit talismans have their own wonderful uses.
After preparing these things, it was almost dawn.
Zeng Xiaoshi meditated and rested for a while, refreshed, and came outside, only to see that the little princess was already waiting here.
After breakfast and some ideas, the two began to walk towards the palace's martial arts arena.
At this time, the spacious martial arts arena was fluttering, surrounded by guards in silver armor, and in the middle was a wide competition platform.
There is a high platform in front of it, full of people, all of them richly dressed and extraordinary.
On the main seat in the middle, there was a middle-aged man in an imperial robe, with a straight waist, a square face, and a very powerful breath.
This person is the king of the Great Kang Kingdom, and beside him, there are more than a dozen important ministers of the Great Kang, looking at Zeng Xiaoshi curiously one by one, with a sense of scrutiny in their eyes.
