In the tavern, Jiang Xiu took a sip of wine. The waiter saw that this guest was strange. He had been here for almost a day, so he sat on the roadside and looked out the window. He didn't know whether he was waiting for someone or thinking about something. However, seeing him After finishing the wine in the jug, he quickly ran over and gave Jiang Xiu more wine.
The tavern is the place where news exchanges are densest, and it is also the easiest place to inquire. Jiang Xiu asked casually: "Brother, have you heard of Lingxi Pavilion?"
The boy smiled and said, "The guests are joking. Who in the world at Lingxi Pavilion knows this?"
Jiang Xiu said: "I mean, do you know where Lingxi Pavilion is?"
The boy was still smiling: "The guest is joking again. No one in the world knows where Lingxi Pavilion is. This is the biggest mystery in the world."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiu smiled disdainfully, what kind of mystery is this.
"The guest is a foreigner?"
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly.
"Are you here to take the exam on the first floor of Tianyi?"
Jiang Xiu said: "What is the exam on the first floor of Tianyi?"
The young man said: "Getting fame, who doesn't want to become famous? In fact, it is similar to Qingling Mountain. Qingling Pavilion is for martial arts, and the first floor is for literature. It tests talismans, formations, knowledge, weapon refining, and elixir refining..."
"Of course, it cannot be compared with Qingling Mountain, but it is still very famous in our area."
Jiang Xiu smiled and nodded. His eyes became dark, with a cold light. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "Man will die for money, and birds will die for food. No one is not greedy."
"Hey, brother, are you here to take the Tianyi Floor exam too?"
A young man on the side came over and said, this man is fair and fair, and he is dragging a scholar in his hand. He looks like a scholar. He has a little fairy spirit in his body, but he cannot even reach the level of an earthly fairy.
Jiang Xiu said: "Yes!"
This person should be a scholar, his eyes are very bright, he should be a smart person, but his expression is a bit reserved, he looks honest, he probably doesn't go out often, and he is a little shy when talking to Jiang Xiu.
"you too?"
He saw that Jiang Xiu's appearance was extraordinary, and although his attitude was cold, he did not arrogantly reject him thousands of miles away. A smile appeared on his face, and he crossed his legs next to Jiang Xiu: "I heard that the exam on the first floor of Tianyi is very difficult."
Jiang Xiu looked at him with a smile. The clothes on this person were very shabby. Even though the hem was well hidden, you could still see the patches. This person probably came from a family that was not diligent in reading. For such a person, Jiang Xiu’s opinion It's still very good, "Brother, you might as well come over and have a few drinks."
The man looked happy and said, "It's better to obey orders than to be respectful."
"I'm Lu Boxuan."
Jiang Xiu said, "Jiang Xiu!" He pushed an empty wine glass in front of him and at the same time, he poured wine for him. "Brother Lu, are you from here?"
Lu Boxuan said: "What a joke. I am a country man, not a city man. I am ashamed. I failed to pass the exam three times in a row. I wonder if Brother Jiang has passed the exam?"
Jiang Xiu shook his head.
"Then I'll show my shame to Jiang Ji and say that I can't drink Brother Jiang's wine in vain." Lu Boxuan is a very interesting person: "When I took the exam for the first time, I thought it was mainly about literary and intellectual knowledge. Who knew , so I was well prepared, but not at all, so I failed. Later, I thought it was relying on talismans, formations, perhaps elixirs, and weapon refining... so I worked hard in this area, but the result was still not the same."
Jiang Xiu became interested as he listened: "Oh, what's the test on the first floor that day?"
Lu Boxuan said: "The test of character and will, with special emphasis on compliance with rules and coping with certain unexpected situations, is more like training an intelligence officer."
"Intelligence agent?"
Jiang Xiu was quite surprised: "Where are the people who entered the first floor of the sky going and what are they doing?"
Lu Boxuan said: "When you enter the first floor of the sky, you enter the first floor of the sky. Where else can you go? As for what to do, everyone who enters the first floor of the sky will be reused and assigned tasks, and the rewards are very rich." , it allows people to live a good life, get married, have children, and carry on the family line, all without being ugly."
Jiang Xiu was very surprised. Originally, he thought that Tianyi Tower was a channel for a certain country or sect to select disciples. Now it seems that this is not the case. It sounds more like a company, which is very vulgar.
Everyone said that learning a skill would sell it to the emperor's family. The Lu Boxuan in front of him studied hard just for a reward.
Jiang Xiu said: "Is the treatment on the first floor of Tianyi so good?"
Lu Boxuan said: "This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also make people famous in the world. Everyone knows that it can be said to be both fame and fortune. This is an excellent stage. For immortal cultivators, Qingling Mountain is such a stage. We are not immortal cultivators." No one can get on that stage, but this stage is very suitable for us.”
Jiang Xiu then remembered what the boy had said just now.
A useless stage can create such a big reputation. Jiang Xiu seemed to smell the scent of Lingxi Pavilion. No one except Lingxi Pavilion had such great ability and paid more attention to the talent of intelligence.
Lu Boxuan said suspiciously: "Is it possible that Brother Jiang didn't come to the first floor of Kaotian?"
Jiang Xiu said: "Yes, of course!"
Early the next morning, Jiang Xiu and Lu Boxuan walked together to the examination room on the first floor. From a distance, you can see an ancient tower standing on an empty square.
"Jiang Xiu!"
"Lu Boxuan!"
The guard took one look at the two of them, especially Lu Boxuan's image, which suited the temperament of their selection, so he let them in and followed the team to report their fate.
"This assessment will last for half a month. In the first ten days, everyone will gather together to exchange various experiences, talismans, formations, alchemy, and magic weapons. The exam will officially start in the next five days."
Lu Boxuan is very experienced.
"However, Brother Jiang, don't underestimate the past ten days. We really thought it was just for fun and easy communication. People on the first floor of the sky are paying attention around us. The examiners have already been observing our every word and deed and giving scores."
Jiang Xiu's eyes swept through the crowd, and sure enough, there were people all around. In the woods, while walking, or at high altitude, he conducted a comprehensive invigilation of the people below, constantly selecting everyone's every move.
If this is really a coherent talent selection mechanism, Jiang Xiu has to admit that it is very awesome, even more awesome than selecting talents at any time in the era of information explosion on earth.
but…
"When someone asks you a question, you can answer it or not. Don't think it's just chatting. It's possible that the examiner is asking you..." Lu Boxuan said.
Just as he was talking, he saw a pair of young people talking in front of him. Jiang Xiu could tell at a glance who was coming to take the exam and who was the examiner. He was a little nervous, but as a proctor or a person asking questions, it was commonplace for him to be nervous.
As long as you see someone in a relaxed state, it is probably the examiner, not the examinee.
"Do you think there is an Immortal Emperor in the world?"
one of them asked the other.
"There should be, right? What do you think, brother?"
The man replied: "I think so."
It sounds like a very simple question, insignificant, but it helps to understand your personal habits. This is very professional and systematic.
"Who do you think is the strongest person in the world?"
"Jiang Luoxia!"
Jiang Xiu smiled when he heard this, but the person who asked the question frowned. Jiang Xiu is famous because he cultivates fast enough. If you ask who is the most famous, Jiang Luoxia may have no objection, but People asked who the strongest person in the world was. According to Jiang Xiu's guess, there must be at least several hundred people on the roster of Lingxi Pavilion.
Even if Jiang Xiu later became a god and returned to brutally torture the rebels of Tianxing Sect and Taihua Sect, there would still be hundreds of people on the roster of Lingxi Pavilion.
Jiang Xiu knows a lot about the people standing at the top of the pyramid. They have ancient heritage and long lifespans. Real strong men are not afraid of showing their faces. In addition, even if they are greedy for fame, thousands of years may not be a long time for them. , there is no need to show off every day, for fear that the world will forget him, this is really a bit too troublesome.
In fact, the longer he lives, the lonelier he becomes. Everyone around him is dead. If he is pretending to be cool with a stranger, he can't find much sense of superiority in them. They have to be old friends and old rivals. That would be interesting, just like When Shui Wuyao saw Jiang Xiu, he immediately wanted to show off, but was fooled instead.
