Chapter 321 Scale Detection Method
“Just turn green?”

Xu Hong looked at the Jianmu in front of him, which completely blocked his view, like a city wall.

The surface of the tree has been dry, and the bark is bumpy like fish scales. Each piece is about the size of a winnowing basket and half a person's height. If the Qingdi Jue true qi has the same rich life force as the Changsheng Gong, turning a piece of it green will not be difficult at all, but very simple.

It seems that this test is just a formality!

"Okay!" Thinking of this, Xu Hong readily agreed.

"Ok!"

Saint Qingyang nodded in satisfaction and explained, "This is the [Scale-Breaking Test Method] that has been passed down in the Qing Emperor Palace for ten thousand years. It can not only test whether the newly recruited disciples can gain the approval of the Holy Tree, but also detect their understanding of the Qing Emperor Jue!"

"Understanding?" Xu Hong looked at him doubtfully.

Qingyang Saint: "Yes, as a cultivator, you also understand that the same technique, when practiced by different people, will have completely different powers due to different understandings!"

Xu Hong was curious: "I wonder...how to test comprehension?"

With the help of ordinary Taizu Changquan, Qiao Feng can easily defeat the monks who practiced the 72 Shaolin unique skills and become one of the best in the world. However, Shi Huolong, who practiced the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, is still abused by heroes and is only second-rate!

From this we can see that the same skills and tricks will have completely different power when performed by different people.

The same is true for the Qing Emperor Jue. Those with high talent in practicing it will have great power; those with weak talent may only be average. Not everyone can become a top master.

Qingyang Saint: "One green scale means recognition, two green scales mean profound comprehension, three green scales mean perfection... In short, the more green scales there are, the higher the comprehension. The most comprehensible disciple of the seventeenth generation of Qingdi Palace once lit up seven scales. His aptitude is unparalleled, one of a kind throughout the ages, the envy of the world, and the shock of the world..."

"This……"

Seeing him praising him endlessly, Xu Hong felt like asking who it was. He couldn't help himself any longer and bowed and clasped his fists: "I wonder which ancestor is so powerful!"

Seeing this kid coming up, Saint Qingyang nodded in satisfaction, smiling, with his hands behind his back, and said with an attitude that no one else could do it better than me: "It's me, your teacher! Hey, these are just things of the past. If you don't ask, I don't want to talk about them. They are just things of the past, just things of the past..."

"Teacher is so strong!" Xu Hong nodded.

He had just tried it with his true Qi, and it seemed that not a single piece turned green. It was obvious that this scale-breaking detection method was not that easy. However, the man in front of him could rely on his impotence-like skills to directly turn seven pieces green. His talent was indeed extraordinary.

"In fact, there is no need to admire me too much. You have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. Your talent is not worse than mine. If you work harder, you can even surpass me. Of course, high talent does not necessarily mean high comprehension. It is not easy to get seven green pieces... Let me set a goal for you, five pieces! As long as you can do it, you can be ranked in the top three among the talents of the Qing Emperor Palace!"

Saint Qingyang explained.

Xu Hong nodded: "I'll try my best to get five pieces!"

Qingyang Saint looked at the disciple with satisfaction and said, "Then let's get started! Since you have already understood the technique, I don't need to continue teaching you. Just infuse the true qi into the tree trunk. There is no need for complicated steps."

"Yes!" Xu Hong came to the bark the other party mentioned and reached out to touch it.

The bark was as hard as iron and a little cold. Xu Hong mobilized the strength in his body and slowly infused it into it. In an instant, the immortal qi was swallowed into the tree trunk like a flood.

With the experience just now, Xu Hong was not panicked. After reaching the tenth level of warrior, his dantian was like the ocean, endless. Even though the Jianmu in front of him was huge, it was still impossible to completely devour the power in his body in a short period of time.

Knowing that the teacher was watching, he couldn't perform too badly, otherwise, it would be difficult to get the resources. Without any reservation, the immortality energy in his dantian seemed to be boiling, and he poured it madly into the big tree in front of him.

Soon, after more than ten minutes, the true energy was almost consumed by half. Xu Hong's face changed slightly and he felt something was wrong.

The Jianmu in front of him was still exactly the same as before, without any change, as if his immortality qi had no effect at all.

I couldn't help but look at Qingyang Saint Venerable who was not far away: "Teacher, how long does it take to transfer the true energy to turn it green?"

“Ah!” Saint Qingyang sighed and shook his head: “Back then, it only took me more than ten breaths to make a piece of bark turn green. You…although you have good talent, your comprehension ability is indeed a bit…”

Although he didn't say it out loud, his meaning was very clear.

This young man who passed the test and came to the holy tree has a very fast training speed and a strong talent, but his comprehension... is too poor!

Not to mention compared to him, even compared to the ancestors with the lowest talents, he is still slightly inferior...

I thought that I had recruited a good seedling this time, and even if I died in the future, I could still show off in front of my ancestors. But now it seems that this is not the case at all...

“Just a dozen breaths and the bark turns green?”

Xu Hong was stunned.

Is the difference so big?
During his practice, with the help of the Longevity Diagram, he always felt that he was talented and invincible in his age group. But after all the fuss, he was still much weaker than the evildoers of the Qingdi Palace and was not even in the same league!
For a moment, Xu Hong felt a strong sense of inferiority.

But it was true. Those who were selected to enter the Green Emperor Palace were all extremely talented people in the world. Even if I had a strong talent, I was still a little behind these top talents in the world over tens of thousands of years...

I do have some self-awareness.

"Forget it, as long as I can light up one area and pass the test, I won't ask for too much!"

Feeling relaxed, Xu Hong did not hesitate and continued to mobilize the true energy in his body to accelerate the flow of it into the sacred tree.

His strength was very strong, but the holy tree before him seemed like a bottomless pit. No matter how much energy he poured into it, it accepted it all. After more than ten minutes, even with such strong strength as him, his breath was still a little unstable, and it felt like he could not hold on any longer.

"Pity……"

Saint Qingyang shook his head.

After waiting for so long, someone who could comprehend the Green Emperor's Secret finally came here. I thought that the Green Emperor Palace would gain a new successor, shock the world again, and suppress the four empires and the two holy places. Now it seems that I thought too much...

The person in front of him doesn't even have the qualifications to be recognized by the Holy Tree. Even if he is accepted as a disciple, he can only be a nominal disciple, and he does not have the ability to become a true disciple!
If it is not the true teaching, then you cannot represent the Green Emperor Palace and challenge the so-called masters! You cannot make a name for the Green Emperor Palace.
