Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 451 Zhu Jianxu

The place had quieted down on its own. The three guards at the back were still reading and discussing the document carefully, but the result had already been handed to Duan Yu.

This is not a ranking, but an independent assessment of each person.

Apparently, some simple results that did not require any consideration were announced first. Duan Yu picked up a booklet: "White Ape Cave, Zhang Chao. The Book of Swordsmanship is rated as the fifth floor; the Letter of Recommendation is rated as the fifth floor. With this rating, you can learn all the clumsy swords in the Cangjian Pavilion, the Yijian rated as 'good points', and the Qingcheng swordsmanship of the sixth floor."

He opened the note and read it: "Zhang Chao from the White Ape Cave has a tough mind and is very good at using swords. He is a rare swordsman in the White Ape Cave in the past thirty years. I would like to open the Qingcheng Sword School to learn from him, and I would also like to ask the sword masters for advice on his behalf."

"Qingcheng, Sun Deyu."

This is a very thoughtful and restrained letter of recommendation, and it is also a template for many sword students. When a high-ranking sect opens a letter of recommendation, it first expresses its willingness to release its own sword skills. "Respectfully asking for the convenience of other sword sects" is naturally asking other sword sects to take a look at this sword student and decide whether to open up their sword skills to him, but the tone is moderate and no price is mentioned. It is probably that if they are willing, they are willing, and if they are not willing, they are not willing.

But Zhang Chao seemed quite excited and stood up and bowed.

"There is no sword of will in the White Ape Cave, but the sword moves are extremely exquisite and can directly challenge the White Deer." Wang Shousi whispered beside him.

Pei Ye nodded slowly. It was he who had just told Pei Ye about the ancient building in front of them.

There are nine floors in Chang'an Cangjian Pavilion, from low to high. The four levels of sword moves are respectively the Sword of the Hall, the Sword of the Mountain, the Sword of the Pulse, and the Sword of the Dynasty. Pei Ye has heard about this kind of stratification from Li Weiru, and going further up, the fourth level of the Sword of Will is the first time he has heard of it.

The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth floors are respectively called "beautiful places", "wonderful wildness", "wonders" and "extremely stunning views".

As for the ninth floor, it is said that there is a heart sword placed in Yunlang Mountain.

But no one knew what it was called, and no one paid much attention to it. Because even for the geniuses who entered the Shenjing Sword Academy, this level was too far away. A few years ago, those who could stand on the eighth floor were the undisputed number one swordsman among the sword students.

The evaluation results were still being announced. After Zhang Chao, there were several people who came from remote Jianmen or had few letters of recommendation for other reasons. But Pei Ye saw the difference at this time. These swordsmen who came from the first level of Huashan Emei were evaluated on the fifth floor even if they had no letters of recommendation, but those who had one or two letters were evaluated on the sixth floor.

However, the sixth floor is an obvious threshold, because as you go down, many sword students with three or four letters of recommendation still stop on the sixth floor. This is obviously where the most sword students gather. The only difference is that some people can learn the swordsmanship of a certain sword school on the seventh floor.

Until Duan Yu held up the book and read: "Emei, Ning Shuhong."

The three of them tensed at the same time.

"The Book of Swords evaluates the seventh floor; the Letter of Recommendation evaluates the seventh floor. With this evaluation, one can learn all the swords of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the swords of the 'Wonderful Spectacle', and the swords of the White Deer Palace on the eighth floor."

Ning Shuhong's eyes suddenly lit up and he clasped his hands together.

Duan Yu read the letter:

"Respectfully ask Duan Yu Daoqi how he is,
Junior-Junior Sister Shuhong is extremely gifted and has a bright sword heart. Her talent in playing swords is also among the top ten I have ever seen in my life. The pearl is covered in dust, which is what I, Daoqihui, do not want to see the most. Therefore, I write this letter to allow her to use the sword on the seventh floor. If Daoqihui has any doubts, you can check her talent; if there are those who do not want to use the sword, Shushan is willing to exchange sincerely. "

"Shushan, Zhao Wanqing."

Pei Ye now understood why Zhang Chao's letter just now was "restrained in tone". This was truly a clear-cut support. Even letters of recommendation from Jianmen of the same level would have very different expressions due to different attitudes.

However, Pei Ye thought that the ordinary letter from Bai Lu Palace might have made a great contribution. Duan Yu opened another letter and read: "Ning Shuhong from Emei has extraordinary sword skills and a clear mind. He is indeed a good talent. I am willing to open the sword of Bai Lu Palace to learn from him, and I would like to invite fellow Taoists to come and see him."

Although Ning Shuhong sat upright, she could not hide her excitement - this was almost the highest treatment for a top sword student. For a woman from Emei, the sword on the seventh floor was on the same level as her own sect's most exquisite "Jie Yu Ce", and any sword on the eighth floor was beyond the level of the entire sect.

The sword students turned their heads one after another, many of them showing surprise - many people had heard of this Emei master, but it was unexpected that he could receive such high praise.

However, the sword collection evaluation was scheduled on the first day, which was also a process for the sword students to get to know each other and get to know each other again.

Ning Shuhong suppressed her expression after all, because the young man next to her was still frowning. She also saw the scene where his letter was rejected, and she thought his evaluation would not be optimistic.

The next people to receive the same treatment were Wang Shousi and Huashan Wenzheng. Among the twenty sword students announced, these three were the only five who stood on the seventh floor, and the only three who could occasionally enter the eighth floor.

But next on the list are Chu Shuiting of Shushan, Zuoqiu Longhua of Tianshan, Han Xiuben of the Southern School, and Lu Xiu of the Lu family.

The four of them actually reached the highest peak of sword students in previous years at the same time, and all of them stood on the eighth floor amazingly.

Zuoqiu Longhua was sincerely recommended by both Bailu Palace and Longjun Dongting Ciju. Among the top five families, Chu Shuiting only had a letter of recommendation from Bailu Palace, but he actually had a joint signature from Daoqihui last year - this was the reward for Shushan's opening of the "Canyu Jing", and it was allowed that three people could enter the eighth floor within five years.

Lu Xiu of the Lu family was not in the underworld, and many people were not familiar with this woman, but she had the almost full support of the Beihai Prefecture. It was not known what kind of exchange took place afterwards, but in short, as long as she was willing to learn the sword, the Beihai Prefecture promised to exchange it for her.

And the evaluation of his sword book is really on the eighth floor.

There were only one or two people with such authority in previous years, but this year there are four at the same time. The sword students in the Sword Training Academy who had learned about it in advance could not help but smile in amazement, and joked that this year they would probably have to suffer but also have a feast for the eyes.

But such jokes did not last long, because everyone still remembered that the figure in the front row had not yet reached a conclusion.

It seemed that they had encountered some difficulties, so many people were puzzled - what was hesitating about? Could it be that Yang Zhenbing could not go up to the eighth floor?
Not until the black-clothed youth's evaluation was finally delivered to Duan Yu did the green-clothed Taoist frowned slightly. Then many people realized something with some disbelief.

Duan Yu on the stage finally frowned, and the commotion in the audience stopped the moment he opened his mouth.

The man read slowly and clearly, "White Deer Palace, Yang Zhenbing. The sword book rated him as the ninth floor; the recommendation letter rated him as the eighth floor. With this rating, you can learn all the clumsy swords of the Cangjian Pavilion and the swords rated as 'Extreme Intentions and Wonderful Scenes'. In addition, the Sword Cultivation Institute must propose a meeting and write a letter to Yun Lang, asking him to open the door to the ninth floor for them."

There was a hush in the arena as everyone realized what they had witnessed without warning.

——The difference between the eighth and ninth floors is definitely not as simple as just a staircase.

That is the gap between the sword of will and the sword of heart. Many people guessed that this young man with the name of "Sword Demon" and the direct descendant of the upper five families might have a talent far superior to the three below, but no one ever thought that this gap was enough to allow him to ascend to the ninth floor.

For any sect, a sword of the heart is a precious treasure.

It is clear that many times that layer is just a symbol.

The Sword Cultivation Institute will send a separate letter to Yun Lang, asking him to open the ninth floor. Whether it succeeds or not, it will be something worth celebrating.

No one doubted the judgment of the Pavilion Guards. They would only be more strict and cautious than everyone else. The sword students all looked forward to the figure holding six swords, but that figure was as silent as ice and did not react at all.

However, he did not sit upright with his eyes closed. Instead, he tilted his head, his gaze still fixed on the guard behind Duan Yu.

So the sword students were once again shocked to find that even though Yang Zhenbing's evaluation had already been handed in, several old guards were still discussing it intensely.

In other words, it is no longer a discussion, but closer to an argument.

Fragmentary voices burst out:
"It has to be five! No way."

"Yang Zhenbing is not that."

"Tang Dynasty quota. No authority"

"Who will guarantee it?"

"Either take the lowest price or the lowest price. There is no such thing as taking the middle price."

“No recommendation.”

The sword students looked at them in blank silence. Duan Yu also frowned and turned around. He picked up the booklet on the table of the guards, took a look at it, then leaned over and asked something.

But after a few breaths, someone suddenly thought of something, and the sword students slowly turned their gazes to the only young man in the back row who had just had his recommendation letter rejected.

He also looked confused at this time, with his hands clasped together and looking at the stage.

Wang Shousi turned his head and asked as if to confirm: "Have you not made a decision yet?"

".yes."

In fact, everyone has begun to realize this. There are only twenty-five sword students here, which is too easy to count.

But the doubts on the field were even stronger than before Yang Zhenbing's evaluation - what was so difficult about this person? Aren't all Tang Dynasty places determined to be on the fifth floor without a recommendation letter?

But the quarrel just continued, even Duan Yu joined in, the faint voices only became more intense, but there seemed to be no end.

Until suddenly, a ray of jade light swept down from the horizon.

Duan Yu turned around and was stunned when he took over.

It was an ancient jade sword with a neatly tied small envelope on it.

As soon as he opened the letter, he froze after reading it for a few seconds. After a few breaths, he tilted his eyes and reached out to pass the short note to the three people who were still spitting.

The guard who saw it first also froze. He slowly took the letter, and only two people were still spitting.

Then he handed the note to the two of them, and like a magical spell, their eyes met and they fell silent.

In silence, a guard said angrily, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't you come earlier?"

He waved his hand impatiently, and Duan Yu picked up the booklet and the letter and left.

The quarrel stopped inexplicably. The three men all had expressions of wasted time on their faces, but they looked at the young man in the back row who was still waiting blankly.

Three old faces squinted at him at the same time.

In the front, Duan Yu finally stood on the stage again, cleared his throat, and completed the final announcement of this year's Jianzang ratings.

It was this young man who could not write well, who was not cared about or recommended by anyone. He was the last one to finish writing the Book of Swords and was also the last one to be called.

"Tang, Pei Ye. The Book of Swords is rated as the ninth floor, and the letter of recommendation is rated as the ninth floor. With this rating, you can learn all the clumsy swords of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the sword of the meaning rated as 'Extreme Intentions and Absolute Scenery', and the Yunlang Heart Sword 'Butterfly'."

There was a dead silence in the room. Duan Yu read the recommendation letter in a calm voice:

"Dearly Divine Capital Sword Academy,
I suddenly heard that Pei Ye was admitted to the academy, and I just learned that there was a final evaluation. I wrote to you in a hurry, please forgive me. Pei Ye's swordsmanship is the best in the world, and he should be the best in swordsmanship. I regret that he was born in a remote place, and his talent has not been polished, so I recommended him to study in your academy.

I am writing this letter to grant him the right to practice sword: All the swords in the Sword Storage Tower are allowed.

I have not yet disclosed the charter of the association, so I have asked my master to sign and seal it below. If you have any questions, please wait for your reply. "

Duan Yu shook his sleeves calmly and read out the signature:
"Yun Lang, respectfully presented by Qi Tian."
