who knows

Not long after Ao Youxuan entered, it was Zhong Liqing's turn.

She turned her head and glanced at Ying Xi, who was leaning against her and refused to stay away, sighed slightly, and wanted to say something, but paused, turned around resolutely, and walked into the academy with the monk who was guiding her. courtyard gate.

——Maybe, letting this girl lose the election naturally will make her give up the idea of ​​following her.

Thinking in this way, he didn't bother to explain to her the matters that need to be paid attention to in the assessment, and he didn't even look at her more, and left on his own.

Just before turning around, those eyes that were full of water and faintly red, were imprinted in her mind all the time, lingering... But it was only a moment before Zhong Liqing restrained the feeling of almost guilt. Feeling sour, my heart sank again, and I stepped into the gate engraved with the words "Xinyuan College".

That's why she didn't realize that since she turned around, the innocent and ignorant girl's expression changed, her face was so beautiful that people couldn't take her eyes off it was full of deepness, and her eyes were like water quenching ice, and instantly became awe-inspiring. There seems to be a blade and sword shadow brewing, so people dare not look directly at it.

...as if this is the real her.

One step in, but it seems to have passed through a layer of transparent film. The scene in the line of sight is clearly the same as that outside the courtyard door, but the spiritual sense has felt at least a dozen waves of spiritual power that are far better than the establishment of the foundation. There were quite a few of them, and as soon as she entered, a powerful spiritual sense locked on her firmly. If it wasn't for her own superhuman talent and strong spiritual sense, she probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.

The film she felt should be the enchantment restriction of this academy, and the jade jade that was distributed when she stepped into the courtyard gate should be the key to unlock the restriction—if there is no such jade , If you forcefully step into this courtyard gate, you will be attacked - just don't know, what is the strength of this attack, where is the weakness of the restriction, and how to break it?

Before being admitted to the hospital, Zhong Liqing was probably the only student who was thinking about how to escape and how to destroy the guarding formation.

The monk who was leading the way looked back and followed behind calmly, not looking around like other young people. Zhong Liqing, who was full of curiosity, nodded appreciatively.

I'm afraid he would never have guessed that this respectful and innocent boy was planning some outrageous plans in his mind.

"Test the spirit root first, just drop a drop of blood essence into the spirit spar." The cultivator who guided her was the same as Zhong Liqing, but she was in the Qi refining stage. Although she was a few rounds older than her age, she still practiced In the late stage of Qi refining, close to the state of Dzogchen, if you can get some chance, or get a foundation building pill, it is not impossible to extend your lifespan for another 500 years.

And as a miscellaneous job in a small college, the opportunities he can get are really limited. If he can curry favor with one or two future heavenly favored sons——among these young people who take part in the assessment, there will always be some who can join the sect , the future is limitless - at that time, he also has the opportunity to follow the prosperity, even if he can't afford to eat meat, it's good to follow with some broth.

This young man is neither arrogant nor impetuous. Although he is only in the early stage of qi refining, he is still young, and his aura is peaceful and long. It can be seen that he is rich in aura and is a man who can be made, so the manager is very happy to make friends with him. Answer, everything was introduced in great detail.

——In this way of comprehension, talent is important, but knowledge of mind is even more important.

Zhong Liqing followed him into an empty room with only a pair of tables and chairs inside. On the table was a spar the size of a head, on which the aura flowed, looking very beautiful.

"This spiritual stone is taken from the tearless ice field on the top of Kunwu. It is polished with the leftovers of the ice tear stone. It is invulnerable and extremely hard. As long as a drop of blood is dripped, it can not only test the type and quality of the spiritual root. Quality, it can also record the information of the blood essence owner, and leave a unique mark, so every student who participates in the assessment must pass this level," the steward introduced, and motioned Zhong Liqing to go up, "Take it Break the fingertips, force out a drop of blood from the heart veins, and it will be fine."

Zhong Liqing nodded, and with her back turned to him, she quickly took out a small jade bottle from the Qiankun bag, pushed and twisted her thumb, sucked a drop of blood on her fingertip, and then pretended to take out a silver needle on her index finger He stabbed it, then transferred the drop of blood to the tip of his index finger and wiped it on the spar.

The spar suddenly flashed with light, sucked the drop of blood in, and then the blood color disappeared, and slowly seeped out from the spar, bright light spots, first light blue, and then the blue faded away , filled with a delicate emerald color, but this emerald color did not last long, and was soon surrounded by crimson light spots, and finally the entire spar sphere was filled with crimson light spots, which lasted for more than ten Breathe, and then slowly dissipate.

In the end, there was nothing left in the spar, just as clean and clear as when Zhong Liqing saw it.

"How?" Zhong Liqing asked calmly, clenched her fists and covered her clean fingertips without any wounds.

"Miscellaneous spirit roots of the three elements of water, fire and wood, grade B of Xuan level of water, wood, higher level of fire element, and grade A of earth level," the manager smiled at her, but the smile was a bit forced, and his attitude was not as enthusiastic as before. After she cupped her hands and turned her back to leave, she muttered to herself, "Hey, what about earth-level spiritual roots! It would be great if there were no two elements of water and wood, but a single element of fire spiritual roots! It's a pity, it's a pity..."

Listening to his mutterings, Zhong Liqing walked out of the room non-stop, and then she evoked a playful smile——Three series of miscellaneous spiritual roots are not too bad, at least, better than she expected much.

If it was her own blood, she didn't know what the reaction would be—whether it was too good or too bad, attracting attention was not the result she wanted.

That's right, just now, taking advantage of the manager's unpreparedness, she used a simple blindfold under his nose, took a drop of other people's blood instead of her own blood and smeared it on the spar. They belonged to that person, not Zhong Liqing herself - this was not only to cover up her identity, but also because Zhong Liqing's blood could not detect her spiritual root.

When she was eight years old, she was brought back to the family by Zhong Lixun. Her blood could not arouse the slightest reaction on the spirit stone. At that time, there were rumors that she could not cultivate without spiritual roots, but she didn't bother to entangle with Zhongli's family. , did not stop the rumors.

But now she can't use her real blood—this assessment is related to whether she can join Xinyuan College. If she gets zero points, it won't look good. wrong.

After coming out of that room, I saw another older steward waiting at the door. When I saw Zhong Liqing, he was neither flattering nor arrogant. He was mild in between, polite but cold , raised his finger and pointed to a spar polished to the size of a fist: "Do your best, input spiritual power, light up as many spiritual lamps as possible, the time will last, and start when you are ready."

Zhong Liqing groped for the well-polished spar and frowned suspiciously. It seemed that this spar for measuring spiritual power was no different from the previous one except for its size. Moreover, One end of this spar is connected to a subtle thread of spiritual power, and the other end of the thread is the spiritual lamps arranged in a ten by ten matrix in front of you.

This kind of device is very similar to the current conductors she has been in contact with... She shook her head amusingly, but Zhong Liqing didn't ask any more questions. Enter a little spiritual power.

With the infiltration of spiritual power, the spar trembled, and the spiritual power flowed through the spiritual power thread at once, and finally passed into the spiritual lamp matrix. The next moment, a spiritual lamp lit up stand up.

Zhong Liqing sent spiritual power to the spar without any haste, while paying attention to the look on the manager's face, seeing that he was squinting indifferently, and the old god was sitting on the ground, as if his mind was wandering, so he silently accelerated the transmission of spiritual power. The speed of the force, but also added a bit of the total amount of spiritual power.

I saw that the spiritual lamp that was still slowly lighting up one after another suddenly seemed like a flower that had reached its flowering period, and it bloomed in small pieces, and in just a few blinks, it was full of large pieces. [-]% to [-]% of the matrix spirit lamps in the house were actually on, and Zhong Liqing was still sending out spiritual power without changing his face, without the slightest panting.

The steward finally opened his eyes, took a serious look at Zhong Liqing, fixed his gaze on the group of spiritual lamps, and nodded slightly.

Zhong Liqing knew that she had achieved her goal, so she stopped trying to be brave, and silently took back the excess spiritual power, returning to the original speed of lighting the lamp, and at the same time increased her breathing a little, making it look like she was powerless.

When the hundredth spiritual lamp was also lit, I happened to hear the steward cough lightly, and said leisurely: "The time has come."

Pretending to be exhausted, Zhong Liqing took a few deep breaths, smiled slightly, and looked at the other party expectantly.

"Good." The steward nodded, his brows and eyes were a little softer than before, and he pointed behind him, indicating that Zhong Liqing could leave.

Secretly thinking that the steward is really a taciturn character, Zhong Liqing walked out the door obediently, but unexpectedly after she turned around, the steward's half-closed eyes slightly opened, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, where was the laziness and indifference just now?

Just for a moment, the meaningful smile was put away again, and it returned to the calm and watery appearance before.

"Little baby is not bad, but there are too many ghosts, hehe..."

The third assessment was more casual. When the Jindan period female cultivator in light-colored palace attire asked Zhong Liqing with a smile what her specialties were, she handed over ten talismans without thinking, and praised her age A female cultivator who is not young but is still beautiful: "... I am not talented, but I can refine a few talismans. The craftsmanship is simple, and it is difficult to be elegant. This sister laughed."

"You kid, what's the matter with you, who is your sister?" The female cultivator smiled, accepted the talisman that Zhong Liqing handed over, and after a glance, she smiled even more happily.

"I heard that when you enter the city, if you meet a beautiful girl, you have to call me sister, otherwise you will be disrespectful... Could it be that senior lied to me? If you offend my sister, please forgive me." Zhong Liqing laughed. She arched her hands, and saw the female cultivator waved her hand pretending to be angry, signaling her to leave, and slightly hooked her mouth, flirting with her, then turned and walked out.

Just stepped out of the door, the cynical smile on his face disappeared, his brows and eyes were peaceful, his temperament was gentle, and he was back to that good-natured and handsome boy again.

Walk out of several row rooms used for assessment, and come to the open backyard. Like the Imperial Treasure Firm that participated in the auction before, this place has been cast with the technique of mustard seed space. You can't see the clue from the outside, but you can only find it when you enter the courtyard. , it actually accommodated nearly a thousand people in a bustling manner, and as the flow of people walked towards the high platform in the middle, it was slowly dividing into two groups, one group walked down the stage with confidence, and the other group moved to another courtyard gate with a sigh. , had to accept the fate of being eliminated.

In a trance, I heard someone singing my name.

"Yuandu Qin Zhong, [-] points for spiritual root, [-] points for spiritual power, [-] points for special talisman skills, [-] points in total, pass, enter the second round." A cold middle-aged man pointed his left hand The stone tablet with words constantly appearing beside it read aloud.

Zhong Liqing curled her lips and stepped towards the students gathered in the audience who had passed the first round like her, and among the group of people, Ao Youxuan was undoubtedly the most conspicuous one.

Being stared at, Zhong Liqing still had a gentle smile on her face, and walked straight there, as if nothing could knock her down, let alone scare her.

However, this confident pace couldn't help but stagnate when he heard another name.

"Qin Xi from the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, sixty points for spiritual root, no points for spiritual power, a total of sixty points, pass and enter the second round.

——How did this girl pass the test?

Turning around abruptly, facing Ying Xi's slightly smug little face, Zhong Liqing's eyes darkened, and she almost couldn't hold back her original expression.

The author has something to say: I think this method of measuring spiritual power is quite creative, although the word "lighting the sky lantern" suddenly comes to mind QVQ, if you know it, forget it, if you don't know... Be obedient, good boy Don't search cheaply (although I know I can't help but say so.)
