Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

"Everyone! According to the numbers on your respective jade cards, go to the assessment table and take your seats!"

There were three people sitting on the judges' seat of the weapon refiner examination table.

The leader was a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance and a smiling face.

This person is Deacon Qin from the Tiangong Department.

On both sides of him were a woman in a blue dress and an old man in a black robe.

This woman in a blue dress has a slender figure, and her eyebrows are as clear as a clear spring.

Starry eyes and white teeth, snowy face like lotus.

The figure is slender and exquisite, but the only flaw is that there is a slight coldness between the eyebrows.

The old man had a goatee and looked at the people on the field for assessment with a keen eye.

"There are a total of one hundred and thirty-two monks taking part in the first-grade weapon refiner examination this time."

"Most of them are late-stage Qi-training monks. Of course, there are also Foundation-building monks and even mid-stage Qi-training monks."

"It can be seen that our Lingxia Fairy City is prosperous and thriving!"

"As long as you work hard and practice hard, becoming a first-level technical mage is just around the corner!"

Qin Zhi said some words of encouragement beforehand.

"Now, I will announce the procedures for this assessment."

"This assessment is divided into three rounds."

"The first round is a theoretical test, which mainly assesses your systematic grasp of the imprint theory, and tests the structure and theory of imprints, etc."

"The second round is the magic weapon repair assessment, which tests your vision and experience."

"The third round is the actual drawing of the imprint assessment, which is also the most critical round."

"Okay, there's still a quarter of an hour left, the assessment will begin, everyone, be ready!"

Why is this third round the most critical?

Because the basic requirement for a first-grade inscription master is that he must successfully refine a first-grade high-grade inscription individually. As for what kind of inscription it is, it depends on the specific circumstances of the assessment.

Zhou Ling sat cross-legged on the futon quietly, with a jade platform in front of him.

About a foot in front of him, sitting cross-legged quietly, was another monk taking part in the assessment.

The distance between the monks is about ten feet. There is a jade platform in front of each of them, and there are isolation circles between them so that they will not interfere with each other.

Next to the jade platform is a wooden table, with several pieces of spiritual paper, spiritual pens, spiritual ink and two utensils placed on it, but they are still in a sealed state.

I can't see clearly the exact shape of this instrument.

The jade platform is connected to the earth fire. Through the jade platform, the weapon refiner can use the earth fire to carve imprints.

Of course, those weapon refiners who have cultivated spiritual flames do not need to rely on earth fire.

After all, it is easier to control one's own spiritual flames, and the success rate will be higher.

However, there are still very few monks who develop spiritual flames in the later stage of Qi training.

"Brother Ling, try to perform better later!"

While Zhou Ling was waiting patiently, a steady voice sounded in his ears.

It was Deacon Qin who was transmitting messages to him.

Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment and looked at Deacon Qin at the judges' table.

"This woman is the inspector of the Tiangong Department. If you can leave a good impression on her, it will be of great help to your future prospects!"

Deacon Qin picked up the tea cup, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and an encouraging look flashed in his eyes, and then took a sip of tea.

While inspecting the Tiangong Department's situation in each fairy city, the inspectors of the Tiangong Department are also responsible for looking for some talents that can be cultivated.

Therefore, he also informed Zhou Ling, hoping that Zhou Ling could seize this opportunity.

Leave a good impression on the inspector.

I will make further recommendations when the time comes.

Maybe Zhou Ling can be registered by the Tiangong Division and become a key training target of the Tiangong Division in the future.

Of course, whether he can seize the opportunity depends on Zhou Ling's own strength.

All I can do is remind him.

A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Ling's eyes, and he glanced at the girl subconsciously. She looked only eighteen or nineteen years old.

He is already the inspector of the Tiangong Department.

It seemed that as a second-grade weapon refiner, Deacon Qin still treated her with great respect!

But how can I leave a good impression on her?

Zhou Ling scratched his head and had no good solution for the moment.

Ignore him, just pass this assessment first.

With Deacon Qin's character, reminding himself like this must have his purpose.

However, in this situation, I can only do my best.

"The time has come, please now ask Deacon Lu to open the assessment seal!"

A quarter of an hour later, Deacon Qin's deep voice sounded again.

As his voice fell, the ancient copper bell in the square suddenly rang out a clear chime, which resounded throughout the square.

The girl also stood up, and immediately recited the incantation, and injected a stream of spiritual energy into the jade array in front of her.

Immediately, Zhou Ling felt a slight tremor on the assessment table.

Subsequently, the light that sealed the spiritual paper, spiritual ink, spiritual pen and utensils also dissipated.

Then there was a muffled popping sound, and wisps of flames rose up from the sapphire platform.

At the same time, a transparent light curtain began to rise about one foot around each person, and the light curtain separated each assessment monk.

"Wood Cloud Seal and Golden Fire Pill Furnace!"

Looking at the two utensils, Zhou Ling couldn't help but murmured.

The Wood Cloud Seal is mainly used for the second round of assessment. The light on the imprint is dim, and it is obvious that the imprint inside it has been damaged.

The surface of the Golden Fire Pill Furnace was flashing with a faint golden light, which was obviously a perfect instrument that had been built recently.

This one is about repairing the first-level high-grade imprint, and the other is about painting, and the difficulty of both is different.

Although the two inscriptions are only inscriptions with nineteen inscriptions, it is not difficult among the first-level high-grade inscriptions.

However, it is quite difficult for newcomers who are taking the first-grade inscription master examination for the first time.

And there is only one piece of each type of utensil, which undoubtedly means that it can only be successful once.

This undoubtedly adds a lot of difficulty.

Looking at the two magical instruments, Zhou Ling couldn't help but glance at the other monks and found that the instruments on the wooden tables of other monks seemed to be different.

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze. What happened to others had little to do with him.

As long as you can pass the assessment, that's it!

Set your sights on the jade platform again.

At this time, a round, palm-sized hole opened on the jade platform, and a faint flame rose inside.

I think this is the ground fire of Jinyang Peak.

[Your beast flames and spirit flames absorb the energy of gold, fire and earth fire, the gas-eating spirit fire +1, the level of beast flames and spirit flames +1]

[Haoyang Fire Melting Technique absorbs the energy of gold, fire and earth fire, air-eating spiritual fire +1, Haoyang Fire Melting Technique proficiency +1]

[Effect: The air-eating spiritual fire enters the third level 1000/10,000, reaching the five elements of air-eating spiritual fire]

[Remarks: The Five Elements Food Qi Spiritual Fire can absorb the Qi of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth and enhance the spiritual flames]

[Cumulative number of times to absorb the energy of the five elements: 1000/10,000]

[Effect: The spiritual flame grows into a second-grade five-element spiritual flame]

And then the spiritual flames seemed to start running automatically.

At the same time, the "Five Elements Qianyang True Jue" also started to operate.

[You are practicing the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue", your natural talent +1, the metallic aura +2, and the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue" proficiency +2]

The prompt sounds appeared one after another.

At this moment, in Zhou Ling's body, he could vaguely see a new faint golden meridian circulating in the meridians.

As the "Five Elements Qianyang True Jue" was running, Zhou Ling's mind naturally appeared in the "Five Elements Qianyang True Jue" regarding the cultivation of metallic spiritual power.

"Jin Yuan Zhong Guang Jue"!

He could clearly feel that the earthly fire on the jade platform was pouring into his body.

There seemed to be a sharp aura accompanying the scorching flames.

The earth fire of Jinyun Peak is of the metal fire attribute.

A look of surprise appeared on Zhou Ling's face. He did not expect that with the [Qi-eating Spiritual Flame] talent rising to the third level.

Not only did the spirit flame evolve into the Five Elements Spirit Flame, but he also absorbed the energy of earth fire and condensed the metallic meridians to circulate.

In the future, I will also be able to absorb metallic spiritual power and practice.

In this way, the circulation of the five elements meridians has condensed the three paths, fire, wood, and metal, plus earth and water.

However, Zhou Ling didn't think much, exhaled a breath, and decisively stopped running the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue". Now is not the time to practice.

After calming down a little, I took out the spiritual paper and started to look at it.

The first round is the basic assessment of inscription patterns and imprints.

Divided into two reels.

The previous picture is the basic knowledge of inscriptions.

This was not difficult for him and was completed quickly.

The second picture is about the basic theory of imprinting.

It involves the transformation of the imprint structure, nodes, and textures, involving many skills and a huge amount of knowledge.

If you are not an inscription master who has learned to perfect the inheritance of imprints, it will be difficult to answer it correctly.

Zhou Ling feels that these questions are quite unfriendly to casual inscription masters.

If it weren't for the relatively complete imprinting cultivation method obtained from the master.

There were many questions that he couldn't answer correctly.

The monk not far away was mostly a casual cultivator. He frowned as he looked at the question and scratched his head.

After the first round, take a short break before starting the second round.

This round of repairing the magic weapon is a test of real skills.

What is assessed is vision, experience and real level.

Zhou Ling reached out and picked up Muyun Yin and observed it carefully.

For others, this round is quite difficult.

Because to see the damage of an imprint requires high eyesight and imprint proficiency.

But for Zhou Ling, it's not that difficult.

[You are observing Muyun Seal, intermediate observation +1, Muyun Seal proficiency +3]

[You are analyzing Muyun Seal, intermediate analysis +1, Muyun Seal proficiency +3]

With the help of [Intermediate Insight] and [Intermediate Analysis], he quickly discovered the problem with Mu Yunyin.

This wooden cloud seal is an imprint of nineteen lines, and it adopts a central diffusion structure.

The central pattern is the main pattern, and the other eighteen patterns are connected through three nodes.

And this imprint means that there is a problem with one of the three nodes.

Because the structures of the three nodes are almost the same, you can only keep trying after injecting spiritual power.

Only then can the problem be discovered.

Moreover, the control of spiritual power in this process is extremely demanding.

If the inscription pattern and nodes are broken due to a slight lack of control, the difficulty of repair will undoubtedly increase significantly.

It may even cause the imprint to break directly, and the wooden cloud seal to be scrapped directly.

This also means that the assessment failed.

In addition, it is difficult to observe the damaged areas of the imprint.

But the repair process is a bigger difficulty.

Normally, according to the properties of this Wood Cloud Imprint, you must choose wood-attribute spiritual ink to draw the inscription.

But Muyun Imprint is an exception.

Its nodes are made of fire-attribute spiritual ink, which matches the wood-attribute textures.

On the contrary, it can better lock the spiritual power in it.

So, once you use wood attribute spiritual ink to repair.

This Muyun imprint is completely useless.

Fortunately, with the help of [Intermediate Analysis], Zhou Ling was able to get the correct repair line.

As for this situation, even a first-grade inscription master may not be able to see it.

For a novice, it is undoubtedly too difficult.

Then, Zhou Ling picked up the magic pen and started to repair the imprint according to the repair plan given by [Intermediate Analysis].

After a while, the cyan light of Muyunyin gradually lit up.

Zhou Ling observed carefully again, and after confirming that there were no problems, he sent Mu Yunyin to the judges' table.

At this moment, the other monks taking the assessment were still looking at the magic weapons in front of them, thinking hard.

"Zhou Ling, are you sure it has been repaired?"

Seeing Zhou Ling hand over the magic weapon so quickly, Deacon Qin couldn't help but frowned and said.

Although he knew that Zhou Ling was quite accomplished in imprinting, his speed was too fast.

The duration of this round of assessment is one hour.

But Zhou Ling handed over the magical weapon in less than a quarter of an hour!

Even with his ability as a second-grade weapon refiner, there is no guarantee that he can be so fast.

There was a hint of surprise in his heart, "Isn't it because of the message he just sent that made Zhou Ling think that by completing it quickly, he could attract Deacon Lu's attention?"

"Is this little brother finished so quickly?"

Sure enough, the woman glanced at Zhou Ling, with a flash of curiosity, and asked lightly.

The monks taking part in the assessment were originally mainly sixteen or seventeen-year-olds, with a few twelve or thirteen-year-olds among them.

But this round of assessment is about eyesight and experience. A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy may not even have much contact with broken magic weapons.

How much practical experience there would be.

That's why she asked curiously.

"Deacon Qin, there is a problem with a node of this Mu Yun Ming Seal!"

Zhou Ling cupped his hands, glanced at Deacon Qin who had a slightly surprised face, and then said seriously.

"Okay! If you confirm to hand it over, then we will accept it!"

"Be more careful in the next round!"

Deacon Qin took the Mu Yunyin and warned him with a serious face.

"yes!"

Zhou Ling handed over his hand, turned around and left, returning to his place.

"Deacon Qin, is this boy your disciple?"

Seeing the familiarity between the two, the girl frowned slightly and asked indifferently.

"No!" Deacon Qin shook his head and said with a smile on his face, "This child's name is Zhou Ling. His parents are both casual cultivators. His father is a pharmacist and his mother runs a wine shop."

"Last month, due to the incident of evil cultivators, I accidentally learned that this boy has a good talent in imprinting, and with the fifth level of Qi training, he can actually draw soul imprints."

"That's why I made an exception and recruited him into the Tiangong Division!"

Deacon Qin said while checking the Muyun Seal in his hand.

Immediately his face lit up with joy, "This guy really repaired it!"

I didn't expect Zhou Ling to have such keen observation and experience.

However, thinking about Zhou Ling's information, he has been drawing magic weapons for the Lu Family Workshop since he was a child, and he seems to have unique advantages in terms of souls.

From this point of view, it seems to make sense.

After hearing what Deacon Qin said, the woman's eyes glanced at Zhou Ling, who was sitting cross-legged and looking at the golden stove, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

There seems to be nothing special about the fifth level of Qi training and other aspects.

"Deacon Qin, show me this Muyun Seal!"

The woman said to Deacon Qin again.

Deacon Qin nodded with a smile, and couldn't help but recognize Zhou Ling's potential in his heart.

And it seems that it has successfully attracted Lu Yunxi's attention.

After Lu Yunxi inspected the Mu Yun Seal for a while, he handed the Mu Yun Seal to Deacon Qin again.

With her eyes, she could naturally tell that this Muyun Imprint was quite difficult.

A casual cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training was able to repair it so quickly, which really surprised her.

And just now, Deacon Qin deliberately revealed to her that Zhou Ling could refine soul seals.

This made her turn her attention to Zhou Ling again.

Seeing Zhou Ling placing the spiritual paper and spiritual ink in an orderly manner, he seemed to be ready to start drawing the golden fire imprint.

Just from his capable movements, you can see that he is very familiar with it.

Then he found Zhou Ling's name on a piece of spiritual paper in front of him, picked up the pen, and wrote the word "A".

Since these assessment and scoring papers must be sealed, spiritual paper is used to ensure sealing and long-term preservation.

Deacon Qin also wrote the word A on his assessment paper.

In addition, the old man in black robe, after checking the Muyun Seal, also wrote the word "A".

At this time, Zhou Ling was about to start drawing the golden fire imprint on the golden stove.

But before that, he planned to draw on the spiritual paper.

After all, there is enough time now, and you can also improve your proficiency with the help of spiritual paper drawing.

Zhou Ling exhaled slowly. With his current level of inscriptions, he wanted to successfully refine the gold and fire inscriptions with nineteen lines.

It won't be too difficult, and there will be [Precise Control] and Spiritual Flame to help.

What's more, this is the fire attribute mark that he is most familiar with, and it is even more powerful.

However, since there is only one chance to draw.

So naturally one cannot be careless.

It must be absolutely foolproof.
