Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

"Why can't it condense yet?"

Looking at the smoke rising from the spiritual paper, Zhou Ling frowned.

When drawing the two inscriptions, Zhou Ling felt at ease, without any lack of spiritual power.

But when condensing the inscription node between the two, he made a mistake, and the spiritual power was still a little insufficient.

The spiritual power requirements of the nodes of these two inscriptions were much higher than he expected.

Even if the spiritual power of the seventh level of Qi training was not enough to condense successfully.

"The spiritual power is still a little insufficient!"

Zhou Ling shook his head helplessly.

Now that [Precision Control] is already the third level, the spiritual power consumed is less than half of that of other inscription masters.

Still unable to draw this composite inscription, it seems that the difficulty of the composite inscription is much higher than he expected.

I can only put down the spiritual pen and observe and analyze carefully.

[You are analyzing the gold-wood composite inscription, intermediate analysis +1, gold-wood composite inscription proficiency +3]

With the activation of the [Intermediate Analysis] talent, Zhou Ling also found some wrong strokes in the drawing just now.

Since the fire attribute spiritual power in his body now, whether in terms of concentration or control, is far superior to the wood attribute spiritual power.

So when drawing, if the brushwork is not paid attention to, the spiritual ink will lose balance.

This will affect the stability between the lines and cause excessive consumption.

It's useless work!

However, fortunately, now I can basically draw an outline and find the problem.

As long as I continue to draw, as my proficiency increases, I should be able to draw it soon.

Zhou Ling raised his eyebrows, then sat in meditation, and operated the "Five Elements Qianyuan True Jue" to restore his mana.

[You are operating the Five Elements Qianyuan True Jue, recovery +1, spiritual power recovery +1]

As the prompt sounded, the Qinglian Spirit Flame also operated.

Zhou Ling felt that the speed of spiritual power recovery was obviously accelerated.

A quarter of an hour later, he tried to continue drawing. Although he still failed, his proficiency improved.

Until the evening, when Li Ru called him to eat, Zhou Ling had mastered it quite well.

"Today, when I went to Four Seasons Building with Hu Zi to deliver goods, Shopkeeper Zhao told me that he had a good impression of Hu Zi and wanted to introduce his niece to Hu Zi."

"But in the future, Hu Zi will be the son-in-law of the Zhao family!"

After taking a sip of wine and eating a few fried peanuts, Zhou Shan said with a smile.

"The Zhao family, that's great."

"Did Hu Zi agree?"

Li Ru also asked with curiosity.

Zhou Ling was originally thinking about the seal while eating, but now he couldn't help but become curious.

Although he had not had much contact with Shopkeeper Zhao, he usually smiled and seemed to have a good relationship with people.

And since the cooperation with the wine shop, he would come to join in the fun whenever the Zhou family had something to do.

Zhou Ling knew that this was mostly for He Zijian's sake.

After all, although the Zhao family was not a big family in Lingxia Fairy City, the family had also produced several foundation-building cultivators.

It was not comparable to these casual cultivators.

But why did he like Hu Zi?

But think about it, besides being a casual cultivator, Hu Zi is not bad in other aspects, and he has been smart since he was a child.

"Hu Zi asked me to ask Ling Er's opinion!"

Zhou Shan said with a smile.

"Ask me?"

Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment. Originally in the Taoist temple, Yuan Hu also followed his lead.

But after leaving the Taoist temple, Zhou Ling was busy practicing, and he didn't meet Yuan Hu very often.

Originally, he asked him to sell some magic tools made in the workshop.

Now that he has joined the Tiangong Division, this aspect has become less, and they meet even less.

"This is related to Hu Zi's lifelong event, how can he ask Ling Er?"

"Of course, Hu Zi's parents will decide!"

Li Ru shook his head.

"Hey, I think Hu Zi is still quite tempted, but he is a little embarrassed!"

"However, as a man, no matter how hard or tired you are, you have to bear it yourself. Once you marry into the family, you will have to live according to other people's faces in the future. It's not worth it!"

Zhou Shan took another sip of wine and said with a smile.

Li Ru rolled his eyes at him, "Hu Zi is very smart and has decent talent. After marrying into the family, he will have enough resources to practice, which is not a bad idea!"

"Besides, the Zhao family has a good reputation in this area. I haven't heard of any bullying."

Seeing his parents discussing with interest, Zhou Ling did not interrupt. After dinner, he returned to his room.

He sat cross-legged and used the Xu Yuan Seal to restore his mana, and then continued to draw the gold and wood composite seal.

Until the next morning, he finally succeeded in carving the gold and wood composite seal.

In the morning, he went to Xuanting Division to find He Zijian.

But when he arrived at Xuanting Division, he was told that He Zijian had gone to find Deacon Qin.

He then went to Tiangong Division. Fortunately, the two were not far apart.

When he arrived at the lobby, he saw Deacon Qin and He Zijian drinking tea and chatting.

Seeing the golden silk robe Zhou Ling took out, He Zijian looked satisfied.

Deacon Qin looked at Zhou Ling with a complicated look and said, "Brother Ling's inscription skills are improving rapidly."

"In less than half a month, he was able to draw such a composite inscription!"

From this gold and wood composite inscription, he could see that although the nodes between the inscriptions were still a little unfamiliar, the two inscriptions were almost completed in one go.

This is difficult for ordinary cultivators at the seventh level of Qi training to do.

"It's all because of Deacon Qin's guidance!" Zhou Ling replied modestly.

During this period, every time he came to Tiangong Division, he did not waste time. If he had any questions, he would ask Deacon Qin for advice.

Therefore, in terms of imprinting, it also benefits a lot.

Deacon Qin was an open man and did not hide anything. Whatever Zhou Ling asked, he answered patiently.

Deacon Qin nodded and said in a rather complimentary tone, "This is also because you have a good understanding and precise control of your spiritual power."

"This copying is a huge threshold for inscription masters. Many inscription masters may not be able to draw it in their lifetime."

"Especially the connected imprint nodes have extremely high requirements on your drawing skills, understanding and understanding of the imprint attributes, and the degree of control of your spiritual power. If you make any mistake, the imprint will not be completed."

Zhou Ling scratched his head, as if he was walking faster.

"Uncle, wouldn't Brother Ling be able to take the first-grade position assessment of the Tiangong Department?"

He Zijian also asked with a smile after hearing what Deacon Qin said.

Now, he and Zhou Ling have formed a good friendship, and naturally he hopes that Zhou Ling can develop better in the future.

When Zhou Ling heard this, he also looked at Deacon Qin, feeling a little nervous. Although he was now a Tiangong Guard, he was just an ordinary employee.

It is completely different from a truly top-notch position like Deacon Qin.

"The entrance examination is that simple."

Deacon Qin picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and looked at Zhou Lingdao.

"Although you can draw composite inscriptions now, you can be considered to have the strength of a true first-class inscription master!"

"I have also passed the examination of a first-class inscription master, but becoming a first-class inscription master of the Tiangong Division is not that easy!"

"Is this difficult?" Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask.

Although it has been less than two months since he joined the Tiangong Division, the benefits this status has brought to Zhou Ling's family are self-evident.

It doesn't matter that the wine shop's business is getting better and better.

Moreover, even those casual cultivators whom I didn’t know around me became polite to my parents!

Of course, Zhou Ling didn't have much interest. He mainly wanted to give his parents a surprise.

"Of course, many first-grade inscription masters may fail the test in decades!" Deacon Qin nodded.

“It’s also hard to get another quota!”

"Even if you have the strength and don't get a quota, there's nothing you can do!"

Zhou Ling nodded. He now gradually understood the Taoist League.

Aristocratic families and sects are the main development targets of the Tao Alliance.

In their eyes, the casual cultivators only depended on them to survive.

This can be seen from the assessment quota of the Six Avenues Courtyard.

I think the Tiangong Division's first-grade assessment will definitely be more stringent.

This is almost impossible for casual cultivators.

But think about it, this is normal. Rogue cultivators need inheritance but no inheritance, and resources but no resources. How can they compare with the children of these aristocratic families?

Even if one or two casual cultivators occasionally have amazing talents, once they succeed in cultivation, they will most likely be recruited by aristocratic families as guest ministers, or directly join a noble family like Huzi.

Therefore, it is difficult for casual cultivators to get ahead!

However, he still subconsciously asked, "Deacon, how can I obtain this quota?"

Deacon Qin smiled and said, "This must first be recommended by a deacon to the inspector, and then reviewed by the competent department of the Tiangong Department. Only after passing the test can you obtain the assessment quota."

"And our Lingxia Fairy City is only a second-grade fairy city, with only one recommendation quota every year."

"One quota per year?" Hearing this, Zhou Ling's heart sank. This was completely different.

You know, there are two to three hundred first-grade inscription masters in the Engineering Department alone.

Among them, only six people have passed the Tiangong Division entrance examination.

And most of these people come from aristocratic families.

You can think about it, how big the competition will be?

Seemingly sensing Zhou Ling's worry, Deacon Qin smiled and said, "You are still young, so there is no need to worry."

"Yes! Deacon!" Zhou Ling replied with cupped hands.

It's true that I was anxious, and now the situation is already very good.

The rest will be done step by step later.

Lingxia Fairy City cannot get an assessment quota.

As long as you can enter Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, you may not have a quota!

"However, Inspector Lu had a good impression of you last time. She is very likely to come to Lingxia Fairy City for this Six Avenues Academy assessment. If you can pass the Six Avenues Academy assessment then."

"I will try to give you the quota for this year's assessment!"

Deacon Qin thought for a while and said again.

In the Tiangong Department of Lingxia Fairy City, this year's assessment has been decided, but the opponent's strength is average.

Deacon Qin thought it would still be difficult to pass.

Rather than wasting a spot like this, it would be better to give this spot to Zhou Ling.

"Thank you, Butler!"

Zhou Ling hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked him.

I didn't expect this opportunity.

"No need to thank me, all of this depends on your strength!"

"If you can become a second-grade technical mage in the future, I will be happy too!"

Deacon Qin gave up and said.

Zhou Ling nodded. The key now is to pass the Sixth Avenue Academy examination.

Then, Zhou Ling asked some questions about imprinting.

After chatting for a while, He Zijian wanted to thank Zhou Ling for refining the robe and planned to treat him to dinner.

Zhou Ling was in a hurry to go to Maple Leaf Mountain to practice and told his master about the fusion of Qinglian Fire, so he could only apologize to He Zijian and said that he would invite him next time.

Then he left the Tiangong Division.
