Chapter 84: Testing
What Yu Chu really needs to guard against is an immortal cultivator with four layers of acquisition and one level of innateness. Innate double, if you meet, then you can only escape.
At the beginning in the Turbidity Moon Cave, Bai Suxin relied on the chalcedony fungus to forcibly raise his cultivation to the innate double, and he still remembers it deeply to this day.
Immortal cultivators have stepped from the innate one to the innate two, and the increase in cultivation is nothing, mainly the increase in the speed of the Rapid Realm, which is what really makes the opponent deeply desperate.
The old man in the Turbidity Moon Cave was still not Bai Suxin's opponent when he had thaumaturgical breaking power, a top-grade secret technique sevenfold centipede whip, and a top-grade turbidity wave palm. All of this is mainly due to the increase in strength brought about by the innate duality of one's own ability and the speed of the Rapid Realm, which is not even compensated for by ordinary techniques.
After that, there are also the Giant Power Realm, the Spirit Body Realm, and the Transformation Yuan Realm, each of which should not be underestimated. If there is no other means, it is simply impossible to leapfrog the challenge.
As for the magic weapon lightning fork, it had to be in the hands of the Qi Refiner to exert its true power, and if it wasn't for the great danger, Yu Chu would not have taken it out easily.
Regardless of whether there is a secret technique or not, talisman making is an excellent choice for Yu Chu, especially after having a life map, as long as you really master the technique of talisman making, the spirit talisman made will be 100% successful, not to mention, and there will be mutations.
Mutated runes are even more powerful. If nothing else, learning to make talismans will become an important hole card in the initial challenge.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the others. Everyone's faces, with unconcealed nervousness, were clearly worried about this test.
After a while, a middle-aged man in blue came out of the house and stood still in front of everyone.
At first, someone had already said it, so Yu Chu knew that this middle-aged man was Li Yuan, the shopkeeper of this store, and he had innate strength. This test was presided over by him.
Li Yuan's gaze swept over everyone, and all the people who were swept by him couldn't help but look away, unwilling to look at him.
Li Yuan looked at everyone, and then nodded, seemingly satisfied. After a while, he spoke: "Everyone, listen, when you come here, if you want to participate in the talisman master assessment of my Han clan's spirit rune shop, you must follow the rules of my Han clan's talisman shop, and those who can't follow the rules can leave now." ”
The grim gaze fell on everyone again, and the crowd was silent, and no one left.
>> Li Yuan nodded again, "Now let's talk about the test." This test, as before, is divided into two levels, the first level is the note, the test is memory, when the time comes, you will be given each of you a rune, within a quarter of an hour, the rune is written down, depicted, can not be depicted, eliminated. Those who pass enter the second level, the second level is the talisman test, and when the time comes, someone will teach you the simplest talisman technique, and make the simplest first-order talisman seal. Each person has ten first-order fierce beast inner pills, and those who successfully produce two are considered qualified, and those who succeed in making three are excellent. Less than two, eliminated. Do you understand?"
"Got it!" said a few people in the crowd.
Li Yuan's face turned grim, and he said loudly: "Do you understand? Be loud, I didn't hear it." ”
Then the crowd replied loudly, "I understand!"
Li Yuan nodded again, "Now that the test starts, everyone will keep quiet, and those who make noise, troublemakers, and disturb others will be disqualified from the exam and expelled." ”
The stern gaze looked into the crowd again, and no one spoke.
Li Yuan waved his hand and ordered, "Hair Lines!"
There was a handyman in a talisman shop with a stack of paper in his hand and distributed it to everyone.
Yu Chu took it and looked at the piece of paper, which was painted with runes composed of dozens of lines, which looked dense and made people dizzy.
Seeing this rune, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, he had long known that talisman making was not a simple thing, and when he saw this rune, he believed that such a rune was intricate and irregular, and it was difficult to remember it if he didn't have an excellent memory.
Not to mention, the runes of each type of sigil are different. If you want to truly become a talisman master, you must memorize at least hundreds, if not thousands, of runes.
Li Yuan clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and then said: "This rune is a first-order golden sword rune, which is a newly developed rune from my Han's talisman shop, and no one among you should have ever seen it, so this test can be said to be fair, and there is no need to worry about someone learning it before and cheating on the spot." ”
After a pause, he said, "Now, you have a stick of incense to write down this set of runes." Come on, light the incense!"
Following Li Yuan's order, a handyman immediately came out with a stick of incense, lit it and put it in front of the venue.
&Start!" Li Yuan waved his hand heavily.
Everyone immediately lowered their heads, looked at the runes, and began to remember.
Yu Chu glanced down at the runes, and couldn't help but be dazzled again, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: This set of runes is too complicated, if you want to take a few times in the time of a stick of incense, you must have a way, otherwise you will only remember the back and forget the front. Well, I'll memorize the rune at the very edge, use this rune as the origin, and then memorize the other runes.
There are too many runes, and if you can't find an entry point first, you will definitely not be able to remember anything if you want to memorize it all. Yu Chu's method is not bad, fixed-point breakthrough, single memory, and finally rely on memory to restore.
But even then, you have to have an excellent memory. Fortunately, after he cultivated immortals, he cleansed his body of impurities, and his memory has also grown a lot, otherwise, he may not be able to write it down.
He memorized them one by one, memorized them, then went to the next one, and after reading the next one, he recalled the previous ones, and finally formed a pattern in his mind.
After reading it again, I started from the beginning. After the second time, he closed his eyes, thought about them, and then opened them, correcting a few mistakes based on the runes on the paper.
Close your eyes again and think about it. I thought of it myself, compared it with the runes, and found that this time, there was only one mistake left. Yu Chu corrected this mistake again, thought about it again, and checked it correctly, so he was relieved.
He wanted to look at it again, but the incense burned to the end.
"Bang!" Li Yuan applauded to attract everyone's attention, and coldly ordered: "Everyone stop, stare at me, if anyone dares to look down at the rune again, they will be expelled immediately." ”
A teenager didn't remember it, and was still looking down at the runes.
Li Yuan looked stunned, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the young man, and ordered a few guards: "Drive him out." ”
"Yes, sir." Only then did the boy realize the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly begged, "Give me another chance, I won't dare again." ”
Li Yuan's face was like iron casting, and his expression did not move.
Two guards of the quadruple day after tomorrow walked up, grabbed the young man, and dragged him out without saying anything.
In this way, everyone was solemn, no one dared to look down at the rune again, and twenty or thirty people, fifty or sixty pairs of eyes were all staring at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan instructed: "Put away the runes and send them with paper and pen." ”
A handyman went down and took away the paper with the runes printed on it. Then several handymen came down and handed out pen and paper to the people.
The pen is charcoal and the paper is ordinary paper.
Li Yuandao: "Now, depict the runes in your memory on paper, pass the test correctly, and eliminate the incorrect." ”
This time, there is no time limit, but if you can't draw it for too long, it will obviously be eliminated.
Yu Chu got the pen and paper, didn't say a word, and sat on the ground. Close your eyes and meditate for a moment, then pick up the charcoal pencil and draw it on the paper according to the position of the first rune in your memory.
In the meantime, someone drew wrong, raised his hand to ask for another piece of paper, and re-drawn, but was directly eliminated.
Li Yuan said coldly: "Careless! How can you make a talisman seal?"
The harshness is that you are not allowed to make even a single mistake.
As a result, everyone became more and more solemn, and no one dared to write indiscriminately. The scene was filled with an atmosphere of oppressive tension.
Yu contemplated the runes in his memory, and only after he really thought about it did he begin to write. With concentration, I quickly entered the state, and I didn't know what was happening in the outside world.
Finally, when I finished painting, I was relieved to think back to what I had drawn and make sure that it was correct.
put down the pen and paper, and found that during this period of time, there was a lot of sweat on my back.
A handyman came over, wrote his name on a piece of paper, and then taught him the drawn runes.
Li Yuan himself is a talisman maker, he saw it on the spot, and found that there was no problem, so he waved his hand directly and let Yu Chu stand on the other side.
Someone kept stopping, and there were rolls kept putting away, and Li Yuan had seen it on the spot every time.
But most of the people were eliminated, and in the end, only half of the people who passed, and among the twenty or thirty people, only a dozen people remained.
Fortunately, Xu Jia actually passed. She handed in the paper shortly after the first handing in, and when she stood over, she walked to Yu Chu's side and smiled at Chu.
Yu Chu smiled back, and neither of them dared to speak casually.
Finally, there was one man who was so slow to draw the talismans that by the time everyone else had handed in the papers, he hadn't finished halfway there.
was waved by Li Yuanyi and eliminated directly, "If you draw talismans so slowly, even if you learn it, what's the use?"
Those who passed through were taken to a house, and each person was given a table and a stool. This second level requires a lot more complicated than drawing a sigil, so everyone is allowed to sit and do things.
Li Yuan walked to the front, his gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he announced directly, "Now start the second level, talisman making." ”
