"Haha, this kid is pretty good. He even broke Senior Brother Chen's magic weapon. I'll try it on you too!"
There was a lot of excitement on Xiaozhu Peak.
Fang Yuan not only aroused the admiration of all the Immortal Sect disciples, but also several deacons seemed to have a strong interest in him. At the beginning, they didn't know how to test Fang Yuan's cultivation level, but now , but one by one they became interested, especially after seeing that the fat deacon's trick of spreading beans into soldiers was broken by Fang Yuan, several other deacons became even more eager to try.
A deacon with a dark face and short body walked forward with a smile, and took out the small Qiankun bag at his waist. I don’t know how, but he actually took out a statue from the bag that was less than three feet long. A black stone statue three to four feet high came out...
With a "bang", he squatted the stone statue heavily on the ground, making the ground seem to tremble.
Fang Yuan also shivered in fear and looked at the black-faced deacon with vigilance.
"Junior Brother Cao, you even took out the statues of the Six Gods of Earth and Fire, you are bullying the younger generation too much!"
Another deacon with bare feet smiled and shook his head, and then took out a gourd. The other person with a smile said: "I have raised this black willow pattern snake for three years, but it has never faced an enemy. , I don’t know how powerful it is, how about using it as the third level?”
Fang Yuan heard the "hissing" sound coming from the gourd and couldn't help but tremble again.
"Haha, come here, go and get my red cloud and purple eyed beast..."
Listening to the competing calls, Fang Yuan felt like dying.
It would be better for me to cultivate well to the third level of qi training and then seek immortality. Wouldn't it be asking for death now
He had only practiced swordsmanship a few times and knew nothing about magic. He was lucky enough to pass the first two levels. How could he pass the next few levels? More importantly, looking at the excitement of these deacons, he was I don’t know how many more levels there will be in the future…
Now, even the Immortal Sect disciples who were watching around them all looked surprised.
"It turns out that it is so difficult to become a disciple of the Immortal Sect like us..."
Someone whispered to the people around him.
"Yes, if I had known that our opportunity to practice would not be easy to come by, I would have to work twice as hard to practice..."
The people next to me deeply agreed, even a little ashamed.
"Ahem, Elder Yun asked you to test this kid's cultivation. He is not here to show off his magical weapons and monsters!"
But it was the white-robed deacon who took action for the first time who couldn't stand it any longer. He interrupted a few people's argument and said in a deep voice: "After all, this kid has been practicing in the handyman's office. He can have such cultivation and practice like this." A few swordsmanship skills are already rare. Practice is not only about strength. They haven’t reached the time to pursue strength wholeheartedly yet. He doesn’t know magic anyway, so there’s no need to try it!”
After hearing this, several other deacons restrained themselves slightly, but asked in surprise: "Then what are you trying?"
"Son, how about I try your divination skills?"
At this moment, a purple-faced old deacon came out, smiled and took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, and said: "Here is a roll of Yanshi's Three Questions. There are three divination questions in it. If you can solve it, Once the results come out, you will be deemed to have passed this third level!"
Upon hearing this, all the deacons immediately nodded in agreement.
Divination is the foundation of formations. Countless large formations in the world of cultivation are all derived from the art of divination, and whether it is setting up or breaking formations in the future, the art of divination is indispensable. This is also the art of divination. It would become one of the four foundations of spiritual practice. They had already tested Fang Yuan's cultivation and swordsmanship just now, and now it was only logical and reasonable for them to test the divination technique again.
After hearing that he didn't have to risk his life, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and accepted it respectfully.
So he sat on the ground in the middle of the field, borrowed the purple-faced old deacon's bamboo stick, and started playing with it on the ground.
The old deacon saw that he was very proficient in using calculations, so he nodded secretly.
Divination, utensils, pharmacology, and calligraphy are the four foundations of spiritual practice, and they were all learned when he was in Xianzi Hall. However, when he was at Xianzi Hall, Fang Yuan was devoted to studying "Dogen Zhenjie", but he had some problems with these four subjects. It was unfamiliar, but later, "Daoyuan Zhenjie" was cancelled, and Fang Yuan entered the immortal sect and became a handyman. He wanted to practice, so he naturally had to quickly make up for the gaps in these sects.
Since entering the Immortal Sect, in addition to practicing, he has been studying hard all the time, and what he has learned is these four foundations.
Divination is what he is best at.
There are traces of all the changes inside, and he is naturally good at this.
"Yanshi Three Questions" is not a profound problem in the study of divination, and Fang Yuan quickly got the result.
"The results are good, but there are still some problems with the algorithm and some detours. However, considering that you have been self-study, it is very good to have learned to this level. You have passed this third level. Come back to me. I’ll give you good guidance!”
The purple-faced old deacon was very kind and cheerful. He nodded approvingly and took back the bamboo chips and bamboo slips.
When the disciples of the Immortal Sect around saw it, they began to whisper again. Naturally, this divination technique was not as exciting as watching a sword fight, and the "Three Questions of Master Yan" was not a difficult problem. They had all learned it. But when I think that I am in the Immortal Sect, and gradually mastered it with the guidance of the deacon, but this handyman is studying and enlightening on his own, I still admire him a little...
"Let me test your pharmacology!"
The barefoot deacon who wanted to bite Fang Yuan with a snake just now also came over and asked with a smile: "Have you read the pharmacopoeia?"
Fang Yuan nodded and said: "I have read "Shen Nong Canon", "Huang Di Xue", "Baicao Jing", "Xi Huang Zhu"..."
"Well, that's not bad!"
The barefoot deacon nodded and asked, "To what extent did you see it?"
Fang Yuan was slightly startled: "To what extent?"
The barefoot deacon laughed and said, "I'm asking you, after you've seen it, how much of the knowledge have you mastered?"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly: "I've memorized it all!"
"ah?"
The barefoot deacon was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "What nonsense are you boasting about?"
Fang Yuan raised his head innocently: "...I really memorized it all!"
"Haha, this is a bit bragging, isn't it?"
Some of the surrounding Immortal Sect disciples couldn't help but say: "Those pharmacopoeias contain tens of thousands of words, how can I memorize them?"
"That's right. It's impossible for someone to have such a good memory, right?"
"The main reason is that it's impossible for someone to be so stupid as to memorize these pharmacopeias all the time, right?"
Amidst these whispers, the barefoot old man also laughed angrily and said: "Okay, you come and carry it for me..."
Fang Yuan then spoke honestly: "In the past, under the Yellow Emperor, people were born as gods. They were weak and able to speak. When they were young, they were arrogant. When they were old, they were strong and agile. When they were mature, they reached the sky. Then he asked the Heavenly Master: I heard from ancient times that The people in the Spring and Autumn Period were a hundred years old, but their movements did not decline; the people of today are half a hundred years old, but their movements have declined. Are the times different? People will lose it? Qi Bo said to him: People in ancient times, those who knew, the law Based on yin and yang, combined with magic, eating and drinking in moderation, living regularly, and not working rashly, so that the body can be in harmony with the spirit, and live to the end of one's life, even if it is a hundred years old..."
The whispers around him gradually became lowered, and the barefoot deacon gradually widened his eyes.
After listening to another cup of tea, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and stretched out his hand to stop Fang Yuan: "You really memorized it?"
Fang Yuan said blankly: "Is this strange?"
The barefoot deacon looked at Fang Yuan like a monster: "How many times have you read these pharmacopoeias?"
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said seriously: "At least three times!"
The barefoot deacon opened his mouth wide: "You can memorize it after three times?"
Fang Yuan looked confused: "Three times isn't enough?"
"This... you passed the test!"
The barefoot deacon finally didn't know what to say, so he looked at Fang Yuan deeply, turned around and left.
"Haha, it's already pretty good!"
Amidst the buzzing discussion on the side, Elder Yun, who had been sitting in front of the hall to watch the excitement, had already received a scroll handed over by Tong'er, which contained everything about Fang Yuan of the Immortal Sect. Record. The person standing on the other side of him was surprisingly the deacon Qiao Yunting who had brought Fang Yuan here from Taiyue City. He had already introduced Fang Yuan's background to Elder Yun in a low voice. Elder Yun was listening. As he looked at Fang Yuan, his eyes slowly changed from surprise to appreciation.
"That's it for today!"
Seeing that several other deacons were about to come forward to compete, Elder Yun seemed a little tired and sighed softly.
Several other deacons turned their heads and looked over with some doubts, including Fang Yuan, who also looked over with some confusion. Elder Yun smiled: "The difficulty of today's assessment is no less than the bridge of trial. Wait for him." Once you’ve entered the door, leave it for later and take your time to test it!”
Upon hearing this, several other deacons immediately understood Elder Yun's words and all bowed to receive the order.
Fang Yuan was still a little confused, but Deacon Qiao Yunting next to Elder Yun smiled and winked at him.
Fang Yuan understood immediately, felt excited in his heart, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, elder, for the gift of immortality..."
"Haha, there is no need to be polite. Your entry into our Qingyang Sect is not considered a gift, but you have the qualifications!"
Elder Yun said with a smile, and looked at Deacon Qiao with some reproach, and sighed: "Yunting, when you went to Taiyue City, you came to choose disciples for the Immortal Sect. However, such a good young man was... You were left among the handymen, you shouldn't have been..."
Deacon Qiao looked even more helpless: "This... this is the disciple's mistake..."
He was really wronged in his heart. When the Immortal Sect made the decision to cancel the "Daoyuan Zhenjie" subject in the Xianmen Grand Examination, they did not say at that time that they would open a back door for those who performed well. In fact, he The reason why he was willing to bring Fang Yuan back was because his old friend Mr. Zhu strongly recommended him. He couldn't bear to see such a hard-working and good young man being thrown away from the world, so he only let him go...
Of course, I can only complain in my heart. If I don’t bear the blame left by the elders, who will I blame
All the deacons laughed knowingly. Seeing this, the white-robed deacon came forward, patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It has been hundreds of years since a servant was promoted to a disciple of the Immortal Sect. , now you have broken the routine. In that case, then... "
He was about to announce the result, but at this moment, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Wait a minute..."
In the astonished eyes of all the Immortal Sect disciples, a group of Discipline Hall disciples suddenly walked out.
