Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 23 Spring Bu Deze, all things shine

After lunch, the practice qualification test was conducted.

At this time the rain stopped.

Drops of water fell intermittently from the eaves and converged into small water pools on the bumpy ground, reflecting the gray sky.

The whole courtyard is filled with the fragrance of earth.

When the qualification test was about to start, Gu Xu's mood was still calm.

Because he knows that his cultivation talent is very strong - after all, it is exchanged for life.

As for how strong it is, he doesn't know how it compares to other geniuses in the Daqi Dynasty.

But he'll know the answer right away.

I saw the two attendants brought by Chu Fengge in the exorcism chief, panting, brought a heavy black stone and placed it in the center of the yard.

The stone was half a man tall and looked smooth and round.

"This is the Tianyan Stone," Shi Xiaohan stood by Gu Xu's side and introduced him, "it is a special magic weapon made by cultivators of the Exorcism Division with mysterious jade, and it has the power to deduce the secret of heaven. As long as you put your hand on it On this stone, inject real energy into it, and it will produce a vision."

What vision?Dou Qi [-]rd stage?
Gu Xu secretly complained.

"The visions produced by Tianyanshi are of different grades," Shi Xiaohan paused for a moment, then introduced, "The lowest grade is the ninth grade, and the highest grade is the highest. High, there are the sun, moon, stars, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, plants, trees, birds, beasts, insects, fish, and so on.”

"Xiaohan, have you tested your aptitude with Tianyan Stone before?" Gu Xu asked curiously.

Shi Xiaohan folded his hands on his chest, with a hint of pride on his face: "Of course I tested it. I tested the fourth-grade vision 'Lonely Falling Cloud', and my relatives and friends said that I was an unprecedented genius in the whole family. , and will achieve great things in the future.”

"When the female hero was only seventeen years old, she became a monk in the second realm, how could she not be a genius?" Gu Xu habitually said what she liked to hear, "It seems that Tian Yanshi has quite a vision."

"Your results will definitely not be worse than mine," Shi Xiaohan also began to habitually talk to each other in business, "Maybe a rare third-grade vision can be detected.

"Have you heard of Su Xiao of Jiange? He is now being offered by the entire Jiange as an ancestor because he measured the third-grade vision 'Wanjian Frost Cold'.

"Also, the examiner from the capital, Lord Chu, has also been favored by the exorcist Siro because he measured the third-grade vision 'Ten Mile Spring Breeze'..."

It seems that Chu Fengge does have the capital of narcissism.

Hearing this, Gu Xu thought silently.

…………

At this moment, the inner courtyard of the yamen was already crowded with people watching the excitement.

Today's assessment is undoubtedly a major event that Yishui County has not seen for many years.

The monks of the Exorcism Division, and even the mortal yamen, temporarily put down their work and came to watch.

"In your opinion, compared to this middle-aged uncle from Qingzhou, who is more powerful?"

"Brother Gu is number one in the world," Wang Yang took the lead and shouted, "I don't accept refutation."

"Gu Xu, you want to win glory for our Yishui!" Someone else climbed onto the windowsill and shouted at Gu Xu, "I don't want a foreigner to be my immediate boss!"

Gu Xu smiled without saying a word.

After a while, officials from the capital knocked on the wooden wall a few times, signalling everyone present to keep quiet, and at the same time announcing the official start of the qualification test.

"Then... Brother Gu, I'll go first?" Ma Qin asked Gu Xu in a low voice.

Early death and early birth.This is Ma Qin's inner thoughts at this time.

As long as he slips fast enough after the test, he won't be hit by Gu Xu's pervert.

"No problem." Gu Xu readily agreed.

Immediately, Ma Qin took a deep breath, strode forward, put his hand on the "Tianyanshi", and poured true essence into it.

Then he closed his eyes and whispered over and over again: "Tai Shang Haotian, Emperor Ziwei, please bless me..."

Because he was too nervous, he didn't even dare to open his eyes to see the result.

A few seconds later, the silent "Tianyanshi" finally changed.

I saw that on the dark surface of "Tianyanshi", a milky white light suddenly appeared, shiny and unobtrusive, like hundreds of fireflies dancing in a summer night.

"Seventh-grade vision, 'Starry Night Flowing Firefly'." The capital official announced in a cold tone.

This result was not beyond Machin's expectations.

Because he knew that he was just an ordinary person, not one of those peerless geniuses with astonishing aptitudes.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to practice for nearly 20 years and still be an ordinary second-level monk.

So he sighed softly, turned and stepped into the crowd.

The whispers of the onlookers lingered in his ears:

"This person from Qingzhou Mansion is nothing more than that..."

"I think I can do it too..."

…………

In the Daqi Dynasty, the ninth grade was the lowest level of aptitude and had little value for cultivation.

Grade [-] and Grade [-] belong to the ordinary level.

The fifth and sixth grades are at the upper-middle level.If you practice diligently, you may have the opportunity to become a capable minister on your own.

Grade [-] and Grade [-] are relatively rare, and are often regarded as the core heirs by major sects and big families, and they devote resources to focus on training.

The second grade can be said to be a rare genius.As long as he doesn't die in the middle, he can basically grow into the top master of the Da Qi Dynasty.

As for the first grade, it only exists in legends.

"Gu Xu, it's your turn."

After Ma Qin left the yard, Shi Xiaohan tugged at Gu Xu's sleeve and whispered.

Gu Xu nodded and stepped forward under the gaze of everyone.

Then he stretched out his hand and touched the dark "Tianyanshi".

Slippery, cool, without the slightest temperature.

"I don't know if the talent I bought with my lifespan is worth the price." He thought so, while pouring true essence into the stone.

The temperature on the surface of Tianyanshi began to rise sharply.

Shi Xiaohan stared at him intently, holding his breath unconsciously.

Wang Yang stood on his toes in the crowd, jumping up from time to time, just to see more clearly.

Chen Jisheng stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, and every movement of Gu Xu was reflected in his pupils, but his face was as expressionless as ever.

It was a rainy day today.

The sky was gray, and the yard was foggy.

The whole world is like a plain black and white ink painting.

However, the moment Gu Xu touched the "Tianyanshi", the black and white picture was immediately dyed with bright and vivid colors.

The withered branches sprouted new green, the water on the ground glowed brightly, and even the sparrows perched on the eaves seemed to have changed into clean and beautiful feathers, chirping happily.

Yangchun Budeze, all things shine.

People squinted their eyes subconsciously, almost thinking that the chilling autumn and winter seasons have already passed, and the brightest spring day has come.

And the handsome young man in the blue shirt stood calmly in the most dazzling place.

The golden sun surrounds him, surrounds him, guards him, and makes him look like a god of light.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Yang stood there dumbfounded, wanting to write a poem to express his excitement, but because of his lack of literary talent, he finally blurted out a sentence: "Brother Gu is so handsome."

On the other side, Shi Xiaohan crossed his hips and looked around at the stunned crowd around him, with a small smug look on his face, thinking: Oh, I already knew that this guy Gu Xu is very powerful.

On the other hand, Chen Jisheng showed a complicated smile on his face, with both relief and pity in his eyes.
