Chapter 345 Five Tests
There is a gazebo on the top of the hill, and there is a stone table in the pavilion. Sitting beside the table is a middle-aged man, wearing a Jinxian crown and a green robe, with a fair complexion and a black beard under his jaw.

At this moment, the middle-aged man is holding a bamboo joint and is groping up and down, as if he is thinking about how to make it into a bamboo flute.

Tao Leyun stood not far away, and asked, "Uncle, why can't I figure it out, why do you say that our Xianyin Sect chooses bamboo as the first level of the test?"

The middle-aged man looked up at her, and replied: "This is a rule that has been passed down in our sect for many years. Immortal bamboo has spirits, and it will automatically choose its owner. This level is not only a test of luck in the dark, but also a test of the cultivator's ability to play musical instruments. In other words, if the person has a bright future, he will have a high-level Immortal Sound Bamboo to join him; if he has no potential in temperament, it will be difficult for him to find a high-level Immortal Sound Bamboo.”

"Uncle, is this kind of test effective? Will it bury talents?"

The middle-aged man said solemnly: "It has been verified that any disciple who gets a high-level spirit bamboo at the beginning can go very far later, provided that he can escape all kinds of disasters and not die. Ah Yun, you know, Today's world is getting more and more difficult, and if you don't wait for new disciples to become talents, you may face all kinds of fights, no matter how good your aptitude is, it's useless if you can't escape the fights."

Tao Leyun couldn't help sighing when he heard the words: "Uncle, I heard that the last time there was a conflict with the Bone Gate, more than a dozen Jindans died at once, and even two Yuanying Zhenjun died. This is getting more and more terrifying gone."

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said: "Because of this, our sect needs to open its gates widely and vigorously recruit new disciples. Even if their qualifications are slightly inferior, or they have some problems in their hearts, they will be admitted first. Let's let these People contribute to the sect, pass the test and then teach the core exercises. This is also impossible."

Tao Leyun frowned slightly, and said: "But in this way, the quality of some disciples is relatively poor. The person said crazy things to me yesterday, but fortunately he was kicked out by my uncle, otherwise it would be a disaster to recruit him!"

"How about the few people who came today?"

"I can't see it. One of them, Yuanying Zhenjun, looks very arrogant; the other three are alright, but I don't know how talented they are."

"Hehe, I'll find out in a while. Look, isn't this one here?"

At this moment, Qin Di flew over with the Immortal Sound Bamboo in his hand, and bowed to the middle-aged man: "I'm here, Qin Qiong, to pay my respects to senior."

Tao Leyun's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "You are fast enough! It took only a while to find the right bamboo?"

Qin Di smiled slightly: "I cut down a tree at random, and I don't know what the result will be."

The middle-aged man couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said: "Bring it up, let me see if you have passed the test."

Qin Di came over and gently placed the six-foot-long bamboo on the stone table.

The middle-aged man took the bamboo, he didn't care at first, then he took a closer look and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Hey, this is a rare high-grade spiritual bamboo! Look at the luster, it's verdant, and it contains Listen to this sound with a very rich air..." He said while tapping the bamboo joints lightly with his fingers, saying: "This sound has a fairy charm, if it is made into a bamboo flute, it must be the best. "

Tao Leyun was a little anxious: "Uncle, what level of spiritual bamboo is this?"

The middle-aged man said: "Don't worry, I'll start the appraisal right away!"

He took out a long piece of pale yellow jade from his sleeve, like a thin needle, touched Xianyinzhu lightly, then stared at the scale on the jade with wide eyes.

Not long ago, the light yellow jade turned into a striking red when it touched the end of the Xianyin bamboo, and the red slowly extended, crossing one scale after another.

The middle-aged man watched without blinking his eyes, and at the same time muttered: "The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh rank of the spiritual rank! Hey, I'll just say it." , it must be a high-level spirit bamboo, which has already reached the eighth rank of the spirit rank! Young man, you are very good, and after such a short period of time, you have found an eighth-rank spirit bamboo..."

Qin Di smiled and said: "Where, where, I am lucky!"

However, the red pillar is still extending towards the other end. The middle-aged man's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and he can't help but shout: "Ninth grade! Spiritual grade nine! This is a rare and good bamboo! I am here to guard It has been several years of Guan appraisal, and this is the first time I have seen that the disciples who came to the test selected a ninth-grade spirit bamboo! This is an incredible talent for fairy music!"

Qin Di laughed and said, "I saw this bamboo at a glance. Although it is a little thinner, I still recognized it."

"Tsk tsk, it's incredible! Pick out the ninth-grade spirit bamboo as soon as you come up, and the future is limitless! Oh, it hasn't stopped yet! Can it be promoted to another level and become the spirit fairy rank? If it is really the spirit fairy rank, then It's a great fortune... ah... is it really a fairy rank?"

The hand of the middle-aged man holding the jade stone couldn't help trembling slightly: "The first grade of Lingxian! It turned out to be the first grade of Lingxian! Although I am a master of flute making, I have only seen it, and I have never touched it myself! Such a bamboo will definitely fall. In the hands of a master flute maker, you will not waste everything!"

Tao Leyun looked at it in surprise, and shouted: "Uncle, the red color on this jade is still extending, it hasn't stopped!"

"Yeah, I think it should stop, can it be promoted to the second rank?"

"Uncle, you are already the second rank of Lingxian!"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and he murmured: "This, this, I didn't expect it, it turned out to be the second rank of Lingxian! How is this possible?"

"Look, uncle, this red pillar has been walking, showing no sign of slowing down at all. Maybe it can be promoted to the third or even fourth rank of Lingxian!"

"That's absolutely impossible! Even the three Buxu Patriarchs of our sect, each of them only has at most one third-rank Lingbao Bamboo Flute! If it reaches the fourth-rank Lingxian, it will be a great thing!"

"Oh, uncle, it has surpassed the third rank of Lingxian, and it is advancing towards the fourth rank!"

The fair face of the middle-aged man turned red, and the hand holding the jade trembled more violently, but at this moment, he was speechless, watching the red pillar climb up little by little, gradually surpassing the fourth rank Before he stopped, he was moving towards the fifth grade again, he had already held his breath, for fear that the red pillar would shrink back in fright if he gasped too much!He even lowered his head, not daring to look any further!
Tao Leyun didn't dare to speak anymore, she just felt incomparably surprised and quietly watched the miracle in front of her.

After a while, Hongzhu finally stopped.

The middle-aged man tried his best to control his excitement, looked up, couldn't help jumping up from the stone bench, and shouted at the same time: "Sixth grade of Lingxian! My God! This is an earth-shattering event!"

As he spoke, he frantically took out his identity token and typed a line of words on it.

After finishing, he looked up at Qin Di and shook his head while watching: "It's amazing! It's amazing! This is not something that ordinary people can do! Only unborn fairy music wizards, or reincarnated celestial beings, have such an opportunity!"

Qin Di smiled: "Senior, I'm overrated. It's just my luck. Does this first test pass?"

"Passed, of course it passed! If this is still not passed, then what kind of apprentice does the Xianyinmen really want to recruit? It should have closed the mountain gate long ago."

"What will be tested in the next few levels?"

"The second level is to listen to birdsong, listen to the kung fu of a cup of tea, and then record the score. The third level is to listen to fairy sounds, and you must be able to stay awake after listening to the performance of the senior masters. The longer the better; the third level is to listen to the fairy music. The fourth pass is to play fairy music, to test the ability to play; the fifth pass is to present immortal materials, to donate materials related to musical instruments to the sect, to test your financial resources. However, you should wait a little while, your performance in the selection of materials is too amazing , I have already reported it to Zongmen, see what the above says, and then start the next test."
