I am practicing in the Taoist world to gain proficiency

Chapter 153 Test
"What? Lao Shao, do you have a problem with me?"

Butler Zhao glanced at Shao Qingwu with an unkind look.

"Don't dare, don't dare, haha, Butler Zhao is joking. I have always respected you, Butler Zhao."

Shao Qingwu quickly apologized with a flattering smile.

Butler Zhao glanced at the other person and ignored him, "Brother Qin, please come with me!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan immediately walked out without hesitation and followed Butler Zhao away.

However, before leaving, he couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Guo Zhaoyuan and Du Qingling, his eyes full of indifference.

No matter what reason these two people betrayed themselves, Qin Xuan would never forgive each other.

"This guy actually got in touch with the Second Young Master?"

Shao Qingwu looked at the direction Qin Xuan left unwillingly, and suddenly cursed fiercely.

Du Qingling's face looked ugly, and she suddenly turned around and returned to the room.

"Manager Shao, you didn't say that Qin Xuan got into the hands of the Second Young Master. Didn't you say that although he left with the Second Young Master, he would soon be driven out by the Second Young Master?"

Guo Zhaoyuan looked sad and suddenly complained to Shao Qingwu.

At this time, he really regretted it.

After all, for senior elite disciples like them, being able to make friends with the direct disciples of the elders of the Shangdao Society would be of great help to them in the future.

If I had known that Qin Xuan could get in touch with the Second Young Master, why would I have to offend him?
"What are you afraid of?"

Shao Qingwu snorted displeased and glared at Guo Zhaoyuan, "It's not like you don't know what the second young master is like. Although he often seeks help from some people, if these people can't help him, they will soon. It’s not like you haven’t seen this kind of thing being abandoned by him.”

"This……"

Guo Zhaoyuan was stunned for a moment, then began to ponder. He seemed to be convinced by Shao Qingwu, and his expression became much more relaxed.

Yes, although the Second Young Master often seeks help from others, they all have special needs. If this person does not meet his requirements, he will be abandoned soon.

This Qin Xuan is just a newcomer. Can he really meet the Second Young Master's requirements?
He is not optimistic.

"Thank you, Butler Zhao, for saving me. If Butler Zhao hadn't come in time, I would have been in trouble!"

After walking away from his residence for a while, Qin Xuan suddenly stopped and sincerely thanked Butler Zhao and bowed his hands.

"Haha, there's no need to be polite, little brother Qin. The second young master needs your help, so naturally he doesn't want anything to happen to you."

Butler Zhao waved his hand, looking disapproving, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place and let you live there first."

After saying that, he took Qin Xuan and walked outside the residential area.

After walking for more than ten minutes and turning many corners, we finally arrived in front of a somewhat remote compound.

Qin Xuan took a closer look at the courtyard and saw that it was just an ordinary blue courtyard.

However, although it looks like just an ordinary courtyard house from the outside, inside it is full of brilliance, murderous intent, and an aura of danger.

It's a formation!
Qin Xuan was secretly shocked.

Beep!
Butler Zhao walked over and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a man of about the same age as him, with simple clothes and an ordinary temperament, who looked like an ordinary country old man, walked out slowly.

However, despite his ordinary appearance, this man's deep aura gave people an unfathomable feeling.

"Butler Zhao? What do you want to do with me?"

When the man saw Butler Zhao, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and asked doubtfully.

"Old Liu, long time no see. This time, I want to place someone here with you for a few days."

Butler Zhao greeted the other party and then said seriously.

"Placing a person? What did you do again?"

When Lao Liu heard this, he immediately became interested and turned to look at Qin Xuan with interest.

Apparently from Butler Zhao's words, he immediately guessed that the person whom Butler Zhao wanted to place was Qin Xuan.

"It's nothing. I just have a hard time with Zhou Huaiyang."

Butler Zhao described it lightly and didn't take it seriously.

"Zhou Huaiyang?"

Lao Liu's eyes suddenly condensed and his spirit was suddenly shaken. As a result, his eyes when he looked at Qin Xuan immediately became a little strange.

"Young man, you are very powerful. You look unfamiliar, you must be a newcomer, right? A newcomer dares to provoke Zhou Huaiyang. How courageous is he?"

"Meet the seniors!"

Qin Xuan saluted Old Liu with a bitter look on his face, cupping his fists.

He was helpless. Who would offend someone casually unless he had to?

Or is it a current manager like Zhou Huaiyang?
What's more, Zhou Huaiyang wasn't offended by him, right? The other party insisted on causing trouble for him, what could he do?
"How's it going? Lao Liu, is it okay?"

Butler Zhao suddenly interrupted and asked.

"Haha, there's no problem. What's the problem with me? Let alone offending one Zhou Huaiyang. Even if he offends two Zhou Huaiyang, he can still stay here. No matter how courageous Zhou Huaiyang is, he wouldn't dare to stay here. I’m messing around here.”

Lao Liu laughed and answered, making his promise very confidently.

Butler Zhao nodded and turned to look at Qin Xuan, "Brother Qin, you will stay here for the next few days."

"Second Young Master, there are still some things to arrange. Once the arrangements are made, I will naturally pick you up."

"In the past few days, for your own safety, I hope you will not go out to avoid accidents."

When Qin Xuan heard this, he nodded in agreement.

He is a person who knows the importance of things, so naturally he will not ask for trouble at this time.

That Zhou Huaiyang must be harboring some idea to plot against him at this time. Does going out at this time mean that he is seeking death?
Seeing this, Butler Zhao gave a few more instructions, then turned and left.

"Brother, please come with me. You will stay with me for the next few days."

Old Liu greeted Qin Xuan and led him towards the yard.

"Thank you, senior!"

Qin Xuan followed him towards the courtyard.

Half an hour later, in a simple room, Qin Xuan sat on the edge of the bed, his right hand hanging down, gently rubbing the rough edge of the bed.

There was a look of thinking on his face, his expression was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, anger flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but squeeze his palms hard.

However, this situation did not last long. Soon, he sighed softly and the anger on his face disappeared.

However, in front of him, the figures of Du Qingling and Guo Zhaoyuan suddenly appeared.

Qin Xuan sighed again.

"Strength!"

A sigh came from his mouth, like a low moan.

In the room, the lights went out and it was instantly plunged into darkness.

※※※

A few days later, we were still in this unique courtyard house.

Butler Zhao stood in front of Qin Xuan and asked with a smile on his face, "Brother Qin, are you ready?"

Qin Xuan looked firm, "Steward Zhao, I'm ready, I can do it at any time." "That's good, Second Young Master is also ready. Brother Qin, please come with me!"

Butler Zhao nodded with satisfaction, then said goodbye to Lao Liu, took Qin Xuan out of the courtyard, and walked in the other direction.

After a while, walking through the streets and alleys, we arrived at a compound.

Go straight in and end up in a living room.

In the living room, the second young master Liang Shangyu was sitting on a high-backed chair. When he saw Qin Xuan come in, he nodded slightly.

"Meet the second son!"

Qin Xuan rushed to the other party and bowed his hands.

"Not bad, sit down!"

Liang Shangyu nodded and asked Qin Xuan to sit down.

After Qin Xuan sat down on the chair, Liang Shangyu spoke seriously and asked Qin Xuan directly, "Xiao Qin, are you ready?"

"Ready, Second Young Master can start at any time."

Qin Xuan responded firmly.

"it is good!"

Liang Shangyu nodded, with a faint smile finally appearing on his face, and nodded: "In that case, let's get started!"

"Qin Xuan, my test for you is very simple. I just want to know whether you have the ability to practice Taoism and whether you have talent in the practice of Taoism."

"Daoism?"

When Qin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Liang Shangyu looked at his face, and when he saw Qin Xuan was stunned, his expression suddenly became serious.

"No problem, Second Young Master, please continue."

Seeing this, Qin Xuan quickly regained his composure and responded to the other party.

Liang Shangyu seemed to have a little more distrust in his expression, but he continued to talk, "The practice of Taoism is very difficult. But what I want to do involves Taoism. Therefore, it is not necessary to practice Taoism. No."

"However, among monks, there are relatively few people who are talented in practicing Taoism."

"So, it has become a little difficult for me to find disciples suitable for practicing Taoism."

"I'm looking for you just to see if you have the ability to practice Taoism."

"The current test is also to confirm this step."

"Next, I will give you a Taoist classic, and then arrange a suitable training location for you to practice in seclusion."

"Of course, I will also give you enough time to practice."

"When the time is up, I will test your cultivation results."

"If you can succeed, it means you are the person I am looking for."

"Next, I will make other arrangements for you and conduct other training for you."

"So that you can be suitable for certain things and be able to help me."

"Clap clap clap!"

Suddenly, Liang Shangyu stopped talking and clapped his hands casually.

Then, immediately from behind the screen, a delicate girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old who looked like a maid came out.

The delicate girl was holding a tray in her hand. There was obviously something in the tray, but it was covered by a piece of red cloth.

And this pretty girl, after walking out, immediately walked towards Liang Shangyu with a tray.

After arriving in front of Liang Shangyu, the delicate girl immediately bent down and squatted, raised the tray high above her head, and presented it to Liang Shangyu.

Qin Xuan's eyes couldn't help but fall on the tray held by the girl, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

And at this moment, Liang Shangyu suddenly reached out and took away the red cloth covering the tray.

Then, a book appeared on the tray.

Although the distance was relatively far and the sight was not very good, Qin Xuan could still tell at a glance that this was a secret book.

From the power of Taoism faintly emanating from it, it can be judged that this is a Taoism secret book.

"This is the basic cultivation method for the spiritual power of the Huayuan realm."

Liang Shangyu introduced casually with a solemn expression, and then waved to the girl.

The girl holding the tray immediately walked towards Qin Xuan with the tray. When she walked to Qin Xuan, she knelt down and presented the tray in front of Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan reached out and picked up the secret book.

The girl immediately retreated.

Liang Shangyu said solemnly: "Qin Xuan, this is the secret book of Taoism that I want to arrange for you to practice."

"If you want to practice Taoism, you must first transform your true energy into Taoism spiritual energy. Practice the basic method."

"Next, how capable you are and how much attention you can receive in front of me depends on how well you practice this secret book."

"Old Zhao, take him down, enter the Phantom Pond, and practice basic techniques!"

After giving the order, Butler Zhao immediately walked out from behind Liang Shangyu, bowed and agreed, "Yes."

Then, he called Qin Xuan, "Brother Qin, please come with me!"

Qin Xuan didn't say anything, stood up and cupped his hands to Liang Shangyu, then followed Butler Zhao and walked directly out.

※※※

As soon as the two left, two people immediately walked out from behind the screen.

One male and one female.

The woman was wearing a blue and black suit. She looked 24 years old and had short hair that was close to her ears. She was walking in front and looked dashing.

The man 27 followed closely behind, looking very heroic, but in front of this woman, he looked like a follower.

"Senior Brother Liang, is this person really capable?"

The woman in a green and black suit walked slowly to the opposite side of Liang Shangyu, sat down on the chair unceremoniously, and then asked with doubts.

"Okay, let's give it a try. This person is quite talented in martial arts training. In theory, it should be easier to practice Taoism."

Liang Shangyu responded without any hope.

"Senior brother, do you really not need my help? In fact, if you let me help you, things will be much easier."

The woman in the black suit paused for a moment, and then asked again.

"Sister-in-law."

Liang Shangyu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "If I really can let you help, how can I not let you help?"

"That person is also very cunning. If I knew you were helping me, how could I dare to come out and die so easily even though I knew I was outnumbered?"

"Actually, it's not that Brother Wei wants to do this, but that he has no choice but to do it."

"Well, I hope this person can really do it this time!"

The woman in the black suit nodded, seemingly convinced by Liang Shangyu. She looked at the direction Qin Xuan left and said nothing more.
