Chapter 324: First Arrival at the Runic Society
Little Brother Qi, hurry up, the fate of the Fu Scholar Society is about to begin. A teenager shouted happily.
This teenager is the young man Xiaohai who was rescued by Xiao Xiaoqi yesterday.
Xiao Xiaoqi followed behind Xiao Hai at this time, with a faint smile on his face, and he was not in a hurry.
Regarding the Fu Shi Society, Xiao Xiaoqi still learned from Xiaohaikou that it was a warlock alliance fighting against the Spirit Master Division, but he didn't expect that during his absence, the imperial court would actually create such an alliance.
Xiao Xiaoqi also asked Xiao Hai, how are the three immortal gates now? However, Xiao Hai's family has limited knowledge after all, and they have not heard about the three major immortal gates.
Fortunately, Fuzhou is not too far from Xiangzhou, so after Xiao Xiaoqi planned to go to see the Fu Shihui with Xiaohai, he rushed to Xuanyumen, saying that he hadn't been back for a long time.
There are also his parents, although Xiao Xiaoqi doesn't know where his parents are now, but the king of Zhennan must know, and he will go to Tuozhou Zhennan Mansion to ask when the time comes.
"Xiao Hai, what does the so-called Giving Yuan mean?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked, "Is it to recruit disciples?"
Xiao Hai thought for a while, "It's almost, it's just that the rune master of the Rune Society will test the cultivation talent of the children who have reached the age, if the talent is outstanding, they may be looked down upon by some big people, and then they can become warlocks, and the treatment is very good." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi frowned slightly, this is somewhat similar to the Xuanyu Sect's seal grant, "The imperial court will also cultivate warlocks?"
Xiao Hai didn't quite understand Xiao Xiaoqi's thoughts, "Why not?"
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't know how to explain it for a while, and finally he could only laugh, "It's nothing, let's go to the Fu Shihui first." ”
After a while, Xiao Xiaoqi followed Xiaohai to the county seat of Yangling County, where the Yangling County Fu Scholar Association was established.
The county town looks much more prosperous and not as remote as a seaside fishing village.
As for the Rune Society, it is easy to recognize, and the place with the most people is it.
Due to the fact that there is a fate-giving meeting that Xiaohai said today, the door of the Fu Shi Club has long been full of people, all of them are some teenagers, and some of them are sent by their parents, obviously this so-called Fu Shi Club is very popular.
"Brother Qi, let's sign up first. Xiao Hai said.
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't think too much about it, and followed Xiaohai.
And because there were too many people, Xiao Xiaoqi and Xiao Hai squeezed for two or three quarters of an hour before squeezing to the front.
At the front it seems to be a registration desk, and there is a mustache registering something.
It's there to sign up, and then the mustache will give a sign.
In the end, Xiao Hai finally got in line, and Xiao Hai said to Xiao Hai excitedly: "Sign up, my name is Xiao Hai, fifteen years old." ”
The mustache didn't lift his head, but stretched out a hand, as if asking for something.
Xiao Hai knew what it meant, and carefully took out a small cloth bag from his arms......
Xiao Xiaoqi knew what was inside the small cloth bag, which was the money that Xiaohai's father solemnly handed to Xiaohai when he went out.
Then I saw Xiaohai take out all the money and hand it to the mustache.
"Wait a minute. Xiao Xiaoqi grabbed Xiao Hai's hand, "Why do you want to give money?"
"Oh, here's the entry fee. Xiao Hai should have explained.
Xiao Xiaoqi was a little incomprehensible, the three major immortal gates were all free before the seal, but they actually asked for money here?
The mustache raised his eyes to look at Xiao Hai and Xiao Xiaoqi at this time, and explained casually: "Testing talent requires a lot of energy from the rune sealer, and a few dollars may be able to make up for it." ”
"What kind of energy does it cost to draw a rune? Warlocks have always valued love rather than money, how can there be a reason to charge an entry fee, besides, isn't this registration fee a bit high?" Xiao Xiaoqi questioned.
He knew that for this registration fee, Xiaohai's family could have tossed a lot, otherwise Xiaohai and his son would not have ventured to the dangerous sea area to fish yesterday, it can be said that they exchanged their lives for this money.
The mustache still had a nonchalant expression, "If you want to report, we didn't force you to report, if it's too expensive, go to the Spirit Master Hall next door, it's more expensive there...... If you don't report it, leave quickly, there will be people in line behind you. ”
Xiao Xiaoqi still wanted to refute something, but then Xiao Hai pulled Xiao Xiaoqi, "Brother Xiaoqi, forget it, it's always been like this." ”
"Hey, what are you rubbing, don't have any money to make a fuss?" Xiao Hai suddenly came from behind a burst of arrogant words.
Then before Xiaohai could react, a teenager had already rushed up and pushed Xiaohai away.
The young man looked very young, but he was very strong, and his body was already bigger than that of ordinary adults, and this sturdy young man was accompanied by two people dressed as family members, and he looked like the heir of a force.
After Xiao Hai was pushed, he stumbled a few times and almost fell, but fortunately he was held up by Xiao Xiaoqi.
Xiao Xiaoqi frowned slightly and looked at the sturdy young man.
The sturdy young man ignored Xiao Xiaoqi's eyes at all, but looked at the mustache on the registration desk, "Deacon Lu, I'm here to sign up, Wan Biao, seventeen years old." ”
Seeing this young man named Wan Biao, the mustache's attitude was much better, "Young Master Wan Biao is persevering, there must be hope this year." ”
"I'm going to succeed this year. Wan Biao laughed, then took out a bag of coins and handed it to the mustache.
The mustache took the money bag, and then gave Wan Biao a sign, "Then I wish Young Master Wan Biao success immediately, and we will be a family at that time." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Wan Biao smiled, then turned around and left, glaring at Xiao Xiaoqi and Xiaohai before leaving.
was cut in line, Xiao Xiaoqi originally wanted to go up and say it, but Xiao Hai seemed to be very scared and shook his head at Xiao Xiaoqi.
Xiao Xiaoqi was also afraid of causing trouble to Xiaohai's family, so he could only give up and wait for Wan Biao to finish his name.
After Wan Biao left, Xiao Hai leaned over and handed over the money, "Deacon Lu, I'll sign up." ”
But seeing that the bearded Deacon Lu did not have a good face, "Let's go, line up!"
Xiao Hai scratched his head, "But I've already been lined up just now." ”
"Didn't you just don't want it?" Deacon Lu sneered, "Regret it?" ”
"Are you tolerant?" Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't help but speak again, "Just now, it was obviously us first, but you let others cut in line." ”
The mustache glanced at Xiao Xiaoqi, "I said that if I re-arrange, I will re-arrange, don't you want to? ”
"You ......" encountered such an unreasonable person, Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't help but lose his temper.
Xiao Hai stopped Xiao Xiaoqi again, and said to the mustachioed Deacon Lu: "Don't be embarrassed, Deacon Lu, let's go and line up again." ”
After speaking, Xiao Hai pulled Xiao Xiaoqi and walked away, no longer arguing with Deacon Lu.
As he walked away, Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have to put up with him?
Xiao Hai said: "Brother Xiaoqi, don't make trouble, this is my chance to change the fate of our whole family, I must participate in the Fortune Society, only by entering the Fu Shi Society, my father and mother can live a good life." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi really couldn't understand, "Can't you go to other sects to learn magic?"
Xiao Hai shook his head, "I have already told you, the current sect is also under the control of the Rune Society, and if you want to become a warlock, you can only go through the Rune Society." ”
"What nonsense!" Xiao Xiaoqi felt that this method was really inappropriate, and the warlock could bear it like this?
However, no matter how much Xiao Xiaoqi felt that it was inappropriate, he couldn't persuade Xiaohai to give up, because in Xiaohai's cognition, this was the only chance to change the fate of his life.
In the end, Xiaohai went back to line up and broke Xiao Xiaoqi away, probably because he was afraid that the mustache would embarrass him when he saw Xiao Xiaoqi.
Xiao Xiaoqi had no choice but to watch from the side first, and he also thought about directly helping Xiao Hai open a rune field and let him become a warlock directly.
However, Xiao Xiaoqi didn't have the materials to open a rune field at hand, and once Xiao Hai became a warlock, no one could help him, so he couldn't always take Xiao Hai with him, so he had to give up in the end.
Looking at this long queue, it is estimated that it will take at least two quarters of an hour to line up to Xiaohai, so Xiao Xiaoqi first went to the Fu Shihui Square to go shopping.
Walking inside, Xiao Xiaoqi found that there were a lot of people inside, and a bunch of people gathered in the center of the square...... I guess this is the place to test the talent.
Xiao Xiaoqi walked over with curiosity, and soon he saw that there was a platform set up in the center of the crowd, and there were some guards around the platform, they were wearing the same costumes, and they were the people of the Fu Shi Society.
In addition, there is a building behind the platform, the second floor is half-covered and half-hidden, and it can be vaguely seen that there are many people standing on it, Xiao Xiaoqi can feel that there are many warlocks with good strength there, and I don't know what they do.
Xiao Xiaoqi turned his attention back to the platform, and saw a few people sitting on the stage, who should be in charge of the affairs here, and at the front of the platform was an elderly rune master who was drawing some runes on the stage.
Xiao Xiaoqi has always been curious about the runes, so he couldn't help but squeeze into the crowd to see what the runes were.
There were a lot of people around, and Xiao Xiaoqi also took a lot of effort to squeeze to the front.
However, because he was in the audience, Xiao Xiaoqi still couldn't see what the rune looked like, and could only vaguely see half of it.
According to this half, Xiao Xiaoqi can also see something, this should be some kind of auxiliary sigil, which can detect the depth of spiritual power......
At this time, the old rune master on the stage shouted softly: "The first round of fate, begin!"
It seems that this is right, this should be the place to test the cultivation talent.
The old sigil master should have been a very important figure, but as soon as he spoke, the surroundings fell silent.
After the old rune master finished speaking, he quickly looked around, and after inadvertently glancing at Xiao Xiaoqi, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but it was only a flash, and he didn't say anything in the end.
Then he gave the man standing next to him a look, and then sat back down on the main seat.
The man standing next to him should be the master of ceremonies presiding over the venue, but he took out a list and said loudly: "The first person to give fate, Xu Ran ......"
Xiao Xiaoqi looked at the stage indifferently, it should have been divided into several rounds, and Xiaohai was not able to take his turn for the time being, which also showed that there were really a lot of people who participated in the Fate Giving Meeting.
Soon, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy jumped onto the stage with brisk steps, and then walked to the middle, that is, the middle of the sigil, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.
After the master of ceremonies stepped aside, he saw the sigil on the ground flash blue twice.
Then I heard the master of ceremonies say aloud: "Xu Ran, blue-level two-star talent." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, only noticed that there were a few sneers around him from time to time, and the steps of the young man on the stage became heavy when he walked down...... It doesn't seem to be a good outcome.
The master of ceremonies was Gujing Wubo, and continued to shout: "The next person who gives fate ......"
Then, many people came to the stage one after another...... After a few demonstrations, Xiao Xiaoqi probably understood what kind of rule this was, judging the talent by the color of the rune, the green is the lowest, the purple is the highest, and at the same level, it is determined by the number of flashes of the rune, flashing once is one star, flashing twice is two stars, and so on, as for the highest stars, I don't know, I have only seen eight stars so far.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people have completed the test, and so far the highest talent should be a one-star at the powder level.
However, Xiao Xiaoqi's brows furrowed more and more, he had other opinions, such a test method looked good, but it was not necessarily rigorous, judging a person's cultivation talent through a rune was obviously too casual.
At this time, the master of ceremonies on the stage shouted again: "The next person who gives fate, Zheng Shili!"
After the master of ceremonies finished shouting, no one came to the stage.
"Zheng Shili!" the master of ceremonies shouted again.
After a while, there was still no response, and no one walked up.
When the master of ceremonies saw that no one responded, he regarded it as absent, and then shouted: "The next giver ......"
But before he could call out his next name, a young man stepped out of the crowd and walked onto the stage.
The master of ceremonies frowned slightly, "Zheng Shili?"
The young man didn't answer, but stared straight at the sigil on the stage, but this person was not Zheng Shili at all, it was Xiao Xiaoqi.
Xiao Xiaoqi wanted to see the sigil on the stage clearly, and now there happened to be another hole to drill, so he came up.
The old rune master sitting on the main seat was a little surprised and a little expectant when he saw that it was Xiao Xiaoqi.
The master of ceremonies saw that Xiao Xiaoqi did not reply at this time, but he was too lazy to ask for verification, and continued the following process.
After Xiao Xiaoqi walked on stage, he finally saw the entire rune clearly, and he also had a trace of realization in his heart, and he began to revolve around the rune, as if thinking about something.
"What are you messing around?" said the master of ceremonies impatiently, "stand in the middle." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly realized, "It makes sense, it's more direct to feel it." ”
So Xiao Xiaoqi stood in the middle of the rune......
Soon, he felt the power of the rune, and he only felt that there was a power of the rune that was hooking the origin spiritual power in his body.
Xiao Xiaoqi stared at the rune seal, as if he understood something, and saw his fist clenched lightly.
Immediately afterward, I saw a faint green light glowing from the rune......
Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but burst out laughing, and bluntly said that this is the worst talent at present.
The master of ceremonies also shook his head at this time, and then announced: "Zheng Shili, green ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the green light of the sigil disappeared, turning into a yellow light, and it kept flickering.
This change silenced everyone, as if they were watching something strange, after all, they had never seen anything like it before.
However, everyone was soon surprised again, and after flashing ten times, the yellow light turned into blue light again!
This...... Unheard of, talent can still grow?
Even several of the presiding officers and elderly sigil masters on the throne stared at everything that had happened, their faces full of incredulity
Without waiting for everyone to think clearly, the blue light flashed ten times and then changed again, turning into orange light, and it was still flashing......
The others were patient, and watched the flickering orange light carefully.
Not surprisingly, the orange light flashed ten times and then continued to change, turning into a pink light.
And every time this light changed, the brows of several people on the main seat tightened.
After a while, I saw that the rune suddenly flashed with purple light, and it flashed continuously.
This scene startled everyone around, especially the people sitting on the main seat, several people stood up one after another, looking at the rune in disbelief, and the warlocks in the back building also approached at this time, and some even poked their heads out.
Xiao Xiaoqi was very calm, he looked at the rune, and his eyes were the same as when he usually delved into something new.
The principal hurriedly cast a questioning look at the elderly rune master next to him, "Mr. Qi, it shouldn't be a problem with the spirit rune printing, right?"
The old sigil master replied firmly, "No way, my sigil is fine." ”
"Now ......"
The old rune master didn't respond, but walked around the table and walked forward, and asked Xiao Xiaoqi as he spoke, "Young man, are you a rune master?"
As soon as the old rune master said this, the people around him were shocked again, and there was such a young rune master?
Xiao Xiaoqi was noncommittal, but said bluntly: "You have a problem with this test. ”
The old sigil man frowned, "You mean there is a problem with my sigil?"
Xiao Xiaoqi shook his head, "The rune is fine, but there is a problem with the method of testing the cultivation talent." ”
"Oh, what's the problem?" the old sigil master questioned.
Xiao Xiaoqi analyzed: "The effect of this sigil should measure the depth of the body's original spiritual power, the original spiritual power is born with everyone, and it can indeed explain the cultivation talent of some people to a certain extent, but it often misses more talented people." ”
"What do you mean by that?" The old sigil master was a little surprised, because Xiao Xiaoqi's analysis of this sigil was correct.
Xiao Xiaoqi replied: "It's very simple, the depth of the origin spiritual power can only determine the threshold of a person's cultivation, but it is not enough to judge a person's affinity for spiritual power and understanding of spiritual power, and it is often those warlocks who make up for the lack through acquired efforts are the most powerful." ”
After listening to Xiao Xiaoqi's words, although they didn't understand, they felt that it made sense, especially some children with average test results before, and hope was ignited in their eyes at this time.
The old rune master thought for a while, but said: "Ridiculous, I have verified this method many times, there is no way to make up for the innate deficiencies, and the cultivation speed of ordinary children is far less fast than those with good talents, and the so-called acquired efforts to make up for the deficiencies you said are impossible to achieve!"
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't plan to fight with this sigil master, "It's not for nothing that you have accumulated a lot, it's useless to talk about it, but it's impossible, let's leave it to time to prove it." ”
After saying this, Xiao Xiaoqi turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait!" At this time, the old rune master stopped Xiao Xiaoqi, "If your rune skills can surpass me, I will believe you, how about it?"
