Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 24 The Light of the Blazing Sun
"Lao Xu, do you know what vision this is?"

Wang Wu, the attendant in charge of presiding over the assessment, asked his companions carefully.

The companion shook his head and replied, "I'm not too sure. I've never seen it before."

"How about... let's flip through the book?"

"A dignified Beijing official, will it be embarrassing to look at the information temporarily in the public?"

"Then... why don't we try to contact Master Chu?"

"I think... let's turn the book!"

While the two attendants were talking, they took out a thick book from the luggage they brought with them and began to flip through them quickly.

At this time, they had to be thankful that the eyes of everyone present were attracted by Gu Xu and Tian Yanshi beside him, and no one paid any attention to their little actions.

A few minutes later, the entourage officer known as "Lao Xu" pointed to a passage in the book and said, "I found it!"

I saw the description in the book: "The golden crow rises with dawn, and the jade threshold rises in the morning light. It is a third-grade vision, 'the light of the blazing sun'."

"Three-rank...it turns out to be third-rank!" Another entourage officer was amazed, "I didn't expect that this sick kid turned out to be a cultivation wizard like Master Chu!

"It's no wonder that Master Si Shou attaches so much importance to this assessment... Master Si Shou has an unparalleled technique of deriving the secrets from heaven. Maybe he has already anticipated all this."

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and announced to everyone present in a hoarse voice:
"Three-Rank Vision, 'Light of the Blazing Sun'."

There was an uproar.

…………

Gu Xu slowly retracted his right hand.

At this time, the surface of Tianyanshi was extremely hot.

The blazing light suddenly disappeared, and everything in the world faded from its bright colors.

After the rain, the world turned back to a black and white ink painting.

Shadowy, monotonous, sloppy.

Hearing this result, Gu Xu didn't have the joy or excitement on his face as everyone imagined, but was extra calm.

For him, who has the talent of [Mindless Genius], this is really expected.

Even, there are some small losses in his heart——

The talent I bought with most of my lifespan, that's all?

Just like the narcissist Chu Fengge?
That Chu Fengge was the third person, and up to now, he is only a fourth-level cultivator.

If my talent is only the same as his, even if I try my best to practice, can I really break through the seventh realm before the age of 30?
He sighed lightly and stopped thinking about the uncertain future.

…………

"Brother Gu is indeed an extraordinary person. When encountering such a big event, he can be flattered and not shocked." After the qualification evaluation was over, Wang Yang immediately went up to Gu Xu and said, "Three-rank qualification... But I'm afraid I can't even dream of it. something!
"Brother Gu, when you become a big man like Master Chu in the future, don't forget us brothers! If you don't dislike it, I can go to your official residence to guard the gate for you!"

Shi Xiaohan also said with a smile: "Gu Xu, with your talent, you will definitely become the main focus of Lord Sishou. The future official titles will start with the fifth grade. Maybe in a few years, we will all have to call you Lord Qianhu. ."

Gu Xu smiled and replied humbly, "I can't tell what will happen in the future."

Chen Jisheng watched these young people silently and did not participate in their conversation.

As Gu Xu's unnamed teacher, he knew that this kid had a very terrifying comprehension and aptitude - he could integrate the difficult knowledge of rune and Taoism in just three months, and he could keep the knowledge of the entire library in mind. The mind is easy to use, and the speed of cultivation is astonishingly fast.

The proud sons of those big families and big sects are probably nothing more than that.

However, Chen Jisheng also knew very well that having an enviable third-rank aptitude only meant that he had amazing potential, and it did not mean that he would definitely be able to grow into a top master.

Practitioners absorb the yin evil energy into the body, and they themselves are born to death, which is difficult and dangerous.

In the hundreds of years of history of Daqi, there have been countless geniuses, but many of them are short-lived, and then either die in the middle or disappear.

There are very few who can eventually climb to the top and become a giant of a generation.

Like the "small goal" Gu Xu set for himself - to break through the seventh realm before the age of 30 is even more impossible.

So, after seeing this dazzling "blazing sun", Chen Jisheng felt more and more regret for Gu Xu.

He only felt that God played a huge joke with Gu Xu - first opened a window for him, and then blocked his life gate.

…………

After the qualification assessment is over, the promotion assessment will temporarily come to an end.

The last link, which is also the most challenging practical assessment, will be held the next day.

"You can go back and rest," Chu Fengge's two entourage officers, Xu San and Wang Wu, said to Gu Xu and Ma Qin, "Come here at the same time tomorrow morning. We will arrange an actual combat assessment for you. "

Ma Qin raised his hand weakly: "Can I choose to quit early?"

"Why?" Xu San asked.

"I don't think I'm his opponent." He pointed to Gu Xu beside him.

Ma Qin had already deeply felt that the significance of his coming to participate in this assessment was just to be Gu Xu's background board - to use his own mediocrity to set off the excellence of the other party.

He didn't want to be mad at this bird anymore.

"No," Xu San shook his head, "Our monks in Daqi cannot easily admit defeat."

Ma Qin sighed and could only bite the bullet and nod his head in yes.

At this moment, he has long had no thoughts about his dream of getting an official position, and just wants to do his best in tomorrow's assessment without leaving any regrets.

…………

Afterwards, Xu San and Wang Wu lifted the heavy "Tianyanshi" and moved it to the official post where Chu Fengge temporarily settled.

"Lao Xu, do you think this stone feels a little hot to the touch?" Wang Wu suddenly frowned and said in confusion.

"Indeed," Xu San nodded and agreed, "I remember that it was always cold before. Now it feels like it was baked in the stove."

"It... it won't be a problem!" Wang Wu asked nervously.

"There will definitely be no problem," Xu San said with great conviction, "Tianyanshi is a magic weapon that was refined by the top officials of the Exorcism Division with countless heaven and earth treasures. It's been out of the ordinary."

"Since you said that, then I'm relieved." Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

A quarter of an hour later, Xu San and Wang Wu finally moved "Tianyanshi" to the official post out of breath.

However, just when they put the "Tianyanshi" on the ground, an accident happened——

This piece of magic weapon, which has been passed down by the Exorcist Division for a hundred years and is known to be indestructible, suddenly appeared a crack.

Immediately afterwards, with a muffled sound of "bang", Tianyanshi suddenly burst open, turning into countless fragments, scattered on the ground.

Wang Wu immediately raised his hands: "I didn't do this!"

Xu San also looked innocent: "I didn't do it either!"

"Since you didn't do it, then who did it?" A cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Hearing this voice, the two turned around in unison, and immediately bowed their hands: "I have seen Master Chu!"

I saw Chu Fengge, a monk in the fourth realm, standing outside the door, leaning on a long sword.

His nose was blue and his face was swollen, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in blood.

"Sir, we didn't see anything."

Seeing this scene, the two followers immediately turned their heads back in fright.

At the same time, they thought in fear: We broke Tianyanshi, and we saw how miserable Master Chu was beaten... Would Master Chu chop off our heads in a fit of rage?
