8th Round: Applying for the Junior Engineer Examination
This is Zhang Yuqing's sword intent 'Meteor Outside the Sky'. Magnificent with an indomitable momentum.
Xie Ling looked at the meteor in the void, and obviously saw it rushing straight forward, but he couldn't see its trajectory clearly.
The sound of wind and thunder became louder and louder, and he saw that the meteor that was originally the size of a fist was ten times larger, and he could clearly see that it was spinning at an extremely fast speed, and Xie Ling could even feel the tremendous power of it crushing everything.
So he made a decision, and the black water around him suddenly took him to spin and soar into the sky, turning into a black dragon more than ten zhang long, looking up to the sky and making a deafening roar. Since he couldn't judge the direction of the opponent's attack, he simply ignored it and directly gathered all his strength to break through the black curtain with the transformation of the sixth change of the Water Cloud Technique.
The so-called one force to ten meetings, in terms of swordsmanship, Xie Ling is afraid that even the eight Qi refining stage disciples of the Sword Trial Academy brought by Zhang Yuqing are not as good, rather than trying to figure out the flaws of the other party, it is better to make a straightforward and powerful breakthrough.
There was a loud bang・・・・・ dazzling brilliance almost made everyone unable to open their eyes, and only Xie Ling's voice was heard dimly, "Senior brother's swordsmanship is far superior to the next, one move has passed, and the next one will take the lead in leaving." When everyone came to their senses, they saw a black dot disappear in the direction of Tianquan Peak.
"Senior Brother Zhang・・・・・・"
Some disciples looked at Zhang Yuqing, who was standing expressionless in the void, and couldn't help but exclaim curiously. They didn't know what the outcome of this move would be, but they thought that the disciple of the Refining Academy who was called Xie Ling could calmly go away under Zhang Yuqing's sword, and they thought that there were some means.
Only Zhu Yan was silent on the side, and only after a little meaningful glance at the black spot that had disappeared in Tianquan Peak did he smile and leave Zhang Yuqing.
Xie Ling walked through the familiar green wall, the leaves of the camphor tree that crossed the high wall were green and attractive, and suddenly he remembered Shangguan Yu and the past when he stole the leaves of the camphor tree, and the bits and pieces were as vivid as yesterday. However, he is no longer the trial student who did not know anything when he first entered the mountain, and the years of tempering have made him much more mature and stable than that of the same year, and he has bypassed the green wall and finally came to the crimson gate.
At this time, there were two senior disciples in blue embroidered moon clothes in front of the gate talking about something, and one of them was surprised when he saw Xie Ling, "Senior Brother Xie, you're back!", and the other also looked over.
"Oh, it's Senior Brother Song. Xie Ling walked over and was very happy to see that it was Song Ping.
"Senior Brother Wang, this is Senior Brother Xie Ling in the sacrificial refining room of this room, but at the beginning, he was in the top ten like Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister Shangguan in this courtyard. Song Ping said proudly to the people around him. After speaking, he introduced to Xie Ling: "Senior Brother Xie, this is Senior Brother Wang Qi, who has just entered the sacrificial refining room of this room, and his talent is not worse than that of Senior Sister Shangguan, and he is a single spirit vein of fire attribute. He spoke with a smug look on his face.
Xie Ling listened and looked curiously at the young man beside Song Ping. You must know that the single spirit root is also known as the heavenly spirit root, and only one in tens of millions of people has the opportunity to appear, such a rare qualification, no matter which sect will focus on cultivating it like a treasure at the beginning, even in the Cangyue Sect, it is also the object that the Sword Trial Academy and the Divine Cultivation Academy are trying to strive for, how could they choose the Refining Academy with a lower status in the sect?
Wang Qi looked relatively rough, and when he saw Xie Ling looking at him, he smiled and bowed down and said, "Wang Qi has seen Senior Brother Xie!"
I believe that with the addition of Senior Brother Wang Qi, this room will definitely be stronger. Xie Ling also liked his sincerity when he saw him, but what he was most concerned about now was Jingyi, so he asked Song Ping: "Senior Brother Song, do you know what is going on in Yuehua Palace now?" He has been out for a year, and Jingyi once said that Yuehua Palace was only open for three months, so it stands to reason that she should come out now.
Song Ping's originally excited expression darkened, and he lowered his head and sighed: "Yuehua Palace opened half a year ago, but somehow, only twenty-three people came out, and ・・・・・・ of them
"What's in it?" Xie Ling's breathing became a little short.
"Among them is Senior Sister Jingyi, Hey, Senior Brother, where are you going..."
Xie Ling was now burning, and he only had Jingyi's safety in his heart, knowing that it was impossible to get more information from Song Ping's mouth, so he went directly to the residence of the owner Lian Chengbi.
After a stick of incense, he came out of Lian Chengbi's house with a somewhat gloomy expression, just like Song Ping said before, but Lian Chengbi knew better. When the Yuehua Palace was opened, a remnant of the original evil cultivator chaos did not know what secret method was used to get in, the evil cultivator was already seriously injured, and he was even weaker after using the secret method with great effort Zhenyuan, and he was discovered by the disciples of the Cangyue Sect inside not long after entering. After a hard battle, he finally killed the evil cultivator, but six people died on his side, and Jingyi was hit by the evil cultivator into the alien space inside.
The Yuehua Palace is actually a separate space secret realm, except for a limited number of places, there is spatial turbulence all around, as long as you don't cross the boundary, there will be no danger in ordinary times, if it weren't for the sudden intrusion of that evil cultivator into Jingyi and the others, there would be no accident.
Xie Ling didn't know how to return to his original stone house. Jing Yi's mature and charming face and voice kept coming out of her mind, and being knocked into the spatial turbulence meant death for a Qi Refining Stage cultivator. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, the spatial turbulence was that the Yuanshen monks didn't dare to enter it lightly, he only built the foundation in the middle of the cultivation, and his heart was not enough, sitting on the stone bed, he thought of his mother, Xia Pan.
"It's all because my cultivation is too low, otherwise I ・・・・・" Xie Ling's hands clenched, and he secretly made a vow that he must become the strongest person in this world and never let his relatives be harmed again!
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Xie Ling's Hui Sect, except for a few people in the Refining Academy and the Sword Trial Academy, did not bring any waves to this thousand-year-old sect. After a night of suffering, Xie Ling buried his sorrow deep in his heart, and then changed into a blue embroidered moon suit early the next morning and went straight to the senior office, he wanted to apply for the junior instrument exam.
In the cultivation realm, there are only two types of monks. One is the monks who are attached to the sect or family, as long as they complete the tasks of the sect or family, they can get the corresponding resources, so the cultivation speed is stable, as long as the talent is good, and they will eventually have the opportunity to occupy a place in the cultivation realm.
The second type is called loose cultivation, they are single households, because there is no attachment of the sect and family, the cultivation is extremely difficult, and the monks who can cultivate to a certain level under the strong are definitely characters that cannot be ignored, such as the top ten scattered cultivators in Saibei.
Xie Ling now has a good sect, and the Cangyue Sect, as one of the seven major sects, must not be underestimated, and if he wants to be as strong as he can, he must get more resources. In the cultivation realm, how far a monk can go on the path of cultivating immortals is his own qualifications on the one hand, and more importantly, resources.
Not every place in this world has the same aura, the spiritual mountain treasures with strong aura are occupied by the major sects, and the rest are slightly worse divided by some immortal cultivation families, and there are some places where the aura is rich but very dangerous, and there are very few places where scattered cultivation can find places for cultivating immortals, so survival is extremely difficult.
Xie Ling was only a high-level instrument disciple before he left the sect, and according to the rules of the sect, although he had already built a foundation and advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, he could still only enjoy the treatment of a high-level instrument disciple. The reason why the Cangyue Sect is like this is naturally that he doesn't want his disciples to only care about their own realm improvement, and they have no actual ability, which has no meaning for the strength of the sect. Xie Ling was now in the middle stage of foundation building, and the resources that advanced instrument disciples could obtain were far from being able to guarantee his normal cultivation, so he couldn't wait to apply for the exam.
Although his current cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building, the relationship between the qualification assessment and the cultivation realm is not necessarily equal. If you think that you can skip the level and take the intermediate instrument apprentice exam when you reach the middle stage of foundation building, then you are very wrong.
In the Cangyue Sect, an intermediate instrument disciple must possess two refinement exercises at the third level or above, and one of the refinement exercises must be 'Fire Alchemy'. On the other hand, advanced cultivators need to have three refinement exercises to reach three levels or higher, and one of the refinement exercises must also be cultivated to the top level.
And the gap between the apprentice level and the scholar level is like a moat, and the gap is even greater than that of the Qi Refining Period to the Foundation Building Period, even Xie Ling today does not dare to underestimate it.
A junior artifact requires three refinement techniques, including fire alchemy, to be able to distinguish at least a thousand materials, and to refine an embryo and refine it into a complete Great Zhou Tian* magic weapon. Intermediate Instruments have higher requirements, requiring that in addition to the three refinement exercises, they must be able to distinguish more than 10,000 kinds of refining materials, and can refine and sacrifice a small Tiangang magic weapon. As for the high-level artifact, there are no other requirements, as long as they can refine a first-grade magic weapon on their own.
Before the refining academy of the Cangyue Sect, there were only three high-level instruments, Cui Sixiu, who had the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building, Mei Ruoxi, the owner of the fetal house, and Xiong Zhengdong, the owner of the material house. Now, in addition to these three people, Lian Chengbi, the owner of the mosaic house, not long ago, not only advanced to the late stage of foundation building, but also obtained the qualification of a senior instrument.
Xie Ling's current identification of materials is far from meeting the requirements of an intermediate instrument, and more importantly, he is not sure that he can refine a small Tiangang magic weapon at one time, so his goal is locked on the qualifications of a junior instrument.
The qualification assessment below the division level in the sect is in the senior administration room, and the assessment can be skipped, but there must be a gap of three months between each assessment above the rank of sergeant. As usual, the senior minister's room was overcrowded, and there were a lot of people, so it would be strange if it was deserted.
Xie Ling walked to the place where he applied for the exam, relatively speaking, the non-commissioned officer level assessment was still less, and when it was his turn, the deacon of the senior administration room opposite looked him up and down. This is a middle-aged monk dressed in a silver embroidered moon robe, and most of the disciples he usually receives are mainly from the Sword Trial Academy and the Seminary, and when he reaches the rank of scholar, the other academies are very few because of his talent and resources, and it is common not to see a single applicant for several months. Therefore, when he saw Xie Ling, he couldn't help but take a few more looks. But this was just curiosity, and then, as usual, he routinely went through the qualification assessment procedures for Xie Ling.
Walking into the capital administration room, Xie Lingchang sighed, the assessment was scheduled for a week, and he was going to go to Danyuan to see his sister-in-law Xie Yuting first, and ask about the situation at home, as well as Qin Pei and Long Xiang...
