Breaking the Void and Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 9 Blackwater Three Tests

There were more than a hundred teenagers, and they were originally standing in a line on the river bank. At this time, the test started, and the teenagers scrambled to decide who was the best.Leading the way were the triumphant youths in fine clothes just now, followed by several youths in coarse cloth, then a large group of people huddled together, and finally a few youths who crawled like tortoises and occasionally fell down.As for Yin Xiuxuan, he was among the second batch of rough cloth youths.

Firstly, due to the rapid flow of the river, and secondly, due to the heavy load, as soon as the young men entered the water, they saw people fall into the river, the strong ones crawled up from the bottom of the river, and the weaker ones were hit by the current as soon as they were washed away. Float downstream.After initial adaptation, most of the teenagers figured out a method suitable for them to cross the river, and slowly walked towards the other side of the river, and naturally Yin Xiuxuan was among them.

Nearly half an hour later, the first boy landed successfully, followed by the second and third ones. Yin Xiuxuan also spent a little more than half an hour, and landed in the tenth place.As soon as he got ashore, a man wearing black water gate guard clothes came out from the dark. He handed Yin Xiuxuan a map and instructed Yin Xiuxuan how to follow the designated route. Finally, he also reminded that it was only an hour and a half away from Taiyang sunset.

Yin Xiuxuan looked at the map as he walked, carefully looked at the designated route, and found that he needed to go through a forest in the middle to reach the bottom of the hill, and the road was still nearly ten miles long.Originally, with Yin Xiuxuan's footsteps, it would take less than an hour to reach the ten-mile distance with all his strength, but with a weight of about [-] catties, Yin Xiuxuan would also need an hour.

Thinking of this, Yin Xiuxuan touched his bosom. Although his baggage was still buckled in the Heishuimen, he kept the magic amulet close to his body. After all, it was a thing that might save his life.At this moment, Yin Xiuxuan thought that he could use this amulet to walk this part of the road.Immediately Henry Zhang thought again, this kind of test, maybe how many people have been set up by Heishuimen to watch secretly, once using the magic talisman is equivalent to cheating, it is a small thing to be kicked out, if it makes a few deputy hall masters unhappy, maybe it’s up to you When the knife fell, it was not as simple as shedding a little blood.

Thinking of Sima Mingwu's flickering sword light during the test, Yin Xiuxuan felt his neck go cold, and immediately gave up the plan.Write down the route, put away the map, and continue to concentrate on running.

Sure enough, as expected, when Yin Xiuxuan arrived at the foot of the mountain, another person appeared, on the one hand telling Yin Xiuxuan the route up the mountain, and on the other hand telling the time.

What puzzled Yin Xiuxuan was that the last hill was really a hill, but a small hillside tens of meters high. Strength is useless.

Yin Xiuxuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and walked to the top of the mountain, only to find that the destination turned out to be a mansion.Although this mansion is not as wide as the Heishuimen residence, it still occupies a large area. It is estimated that there must be dozens or nearly a hundred houses in it.

I saw a Heishuimen deacon standing in front of the gate holding a booklet, and seeing Henry Zhang coming, he said, "Report your name."

"Yin Xiuxuan."

After thanking a few words on the booklet, the deacon pointed to the door and said to Yin Xiuxuan, "You can go in."

Arching his hands, Yin Xiuxuan walked straight to the door.

Entering the gate, a waiter came forward, Yin Xiuxuan asked: "Is this test over?"

"This little brother, the four deputy hall masters ordered that you don't have to worry about other things after you come in. After the meal, you will know the result tomorrow."

Now that the order was given, Yin Xiuxuan naturally wouldn't object to anything, so he followed the waiter to lead the way to a solitary room, where the waiter brought food. After Yin Xiuxuan used it, he was really tired from the day and soon fell asleep.

On the second day, the same waiter came to ask Yin Xiuxuan to meet the four deputy hall masters.Yin Xiuxuan followed the attendants to a lobby in the house.At this time, dozens of teenagers were already waiting in the hall.After a while, a dozen or so teenagers came, and a few people came out from the back of the hall. They were Shen Quan, Shangguan Haoyun, and several deacons among the four deputy hall masters.

It was still Shen Quan who spoke: "It seems that you are all here, and those who passed the second test yesterday are also here, so~, let's proceed to the third test!"

When the teenagers heard that they had passed the second test, all of them looked happy, but when they heard that the third test was about to start, they became serious again.Yin Xiuxuan counted the number of people, and found that there were only about 100 of the original [-] teenagers present, and nearly half of them were eliminated. Although the other half didn't know where they were, they could only become peripheral disciples at most. It can be seen that the black water gate The elimination rate of inner disciples is indeed not low

Then Shen Quan explained the content of the third test.Shen Quan's power is known to everyone for a long time, and they are afraid that if they mishear a word and the tone, they will be overwhelmed.

The content of the third test is actually very simple, that is, appraising treasures.

Whether it is in the Jianghu or the official, ores, weapons, medicinal materials, and elixir are divided into three levels: ordinary products, high-quality products, and precious products.

Heishuimen has prepared a treasure room for every teenager. There are nearly a hundred items of various things, ores, medicinal materials, weapons, elixir, etc., but most of them are ordinary goods, and they are naturally mixed. There are about [-] exquisite or even treasures among them.

Teenagers need to select ten items among these things, and the number of high-quality goods and treasures minus the number of ordinary goods among them must be at least equal to four to pass the level.

At the beginning of this level, the few remaining children from rich families, young men in brocade clothes showed very proud expressions, but they didn't say anything, they just left aside the children from ordinary families, showing their arrogance without any concealment.Yin Xiuxuan had already tempered this kind of gaze from a rich family, and he also had his own ideas, so he didn't pay attention to it at all.

He was taken to a treasure room, and at a glance, the shelves in front of him were full of things, either in boxes or bottles, and there were also a dozen weapons on the weapon rack beside him, including knives, guns and swords. Halberd, axe, hook, fork, one or two of these common weapons, and some weapons that Yin Xiuxuan couldn't recognize were also hung on the shelves.

Since Yin Xiuxuan was born, he hasn't seen many weapons, so he naturally excluded weapons from his choice.

Walking to the shelf, Yin Xiuxuan opened a close box, and saw a piece of black ore in it.

"It turned out to be Xuantie Mine!" Yin Xiuxuan recalled the same thumb-sized stone that his father had shown him, and what he said at that time.

This black iron ore is a rare ore for training weapons. Generally, adding a finger-sized piece to a sword can increase the toughness and wear resistance of the weapon. At that time, Yin's father later added that piece of black iron that he got by chance to Yin Xiuxuan's long iron braze. Among them, Yin Xiuxuan's long iron brazing is very strong and durable, it does not need to be tempered every few days like ordinary iron brazing, and it has not been tempered for two years.

Yin Xiuxuan put the box containing the black iron ore aside, and then opened several boxes next to it one at a time, which turned out to be full of ore.Simply open all the boxes, nearly half of them are all kinds of stones, and the other half are all kinds of medicinal materials.

Yin Xiuxuan looked at all kinds of stones first, but the difference was that most of these ores were ordinary iron ore, copper ore, and there was even a big bluestone, and a piece of calcite that only looked transparent and beautiful but was useless.However, among this pair of stones of various colors, Yin Xiuxuan really found a few treasures.

A stone the size of a little finger that feels a little warm to the touch, a piece of white jade that feels a little cold to the touch, and a stone that is a little soft to the touch like a tiger's eye.

Based on his two years of experience in quarrying and contacting various ores, as well as Yin's father's teachings, Yin Xiuxuan is [-]% sure that these three things must be beyond ordinary grade. With the addition of the mysterious iron ore just now, Yin Xiuxuan has found four of them.Then Yin Xiuxuan looked at the herbs in the box.
