Slow and immortal

Chapter 61

Chapter 61

Zhong Xun looked at the remaining ten people without any surprise.This is the case every time I recruit disciples, I have long been used to it.But when he caught sight of the last two in line, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: The man and the woman also came to participate in the assessment?
The man who was shaking his head looked like a scholar who was taking an exam. Although he couldn't say he was very thin, he didn't look good enough compared to the strong men in front of him.As for the female cultivator, she was even more petite. If she hadn't been standing on a higher ground, she wouldn't have been able to see the top of her head at all.

In the process of recruiting disciples in the past, he has encountered such unconventional applicants.If these people are not hiding their secrets, then they have a high opinion of themselves. The former has only met once, and the rest are monks who think they are self-righteous and look down on refining weapons.He even once encountered a female cultivator from the Murong family who pointed at his nose and scolded them for discriminating against female cultivators because they failed the examination, which caused quite a commotion.In the end, it was the Murong family who ordered the nun to make an apology to resolve the turmoil.After this incident, whenever Zhong Xun saw the female cultivator during the assessment, he would have a headache, and the tough past was unbearable!

Although Zhong Xun really wanted to invite these two people back, after thinking about it, he decided to observe for a while before speaking.After all, putting the assessment in the inner courtyard requires fairness and fairness, and it would be unfair to force others to drive them away before they have tried it.If they hadn't waited for them to see the reality clearly after they had tried it themselves, and leave obediently, it would have highlighted the fairness of the assessment.

The monks who lined up tried to lift the weight one by one in an orderly manner, but most of them ended in failure.Although they are not as bad as the No.1 strong man.Most of them can no longer lift the hammer after swinging the hammer more than ten times or more than 20 times, and fail the assessment.Among them, there is a monk who is the most regretful. He has swung the heavy hammer exactly 31 times, but in the end he failed to deform the black iron, which caused everyone to feel sorry for him.

In the end, when there were less than five people left, there was a tall, burly, muscular man who was about ten feet tall.I saw him clenched the heavy hammer tightly with both hands very calmly, shouted "Drink!", lifted the heavy hammer up instantly, and then raised his breath in one go and smashed it hard on the black iron.

"Blah blah blah..."

He swung the hammer 45 times without stopping at all.In the end, when he stopped, although his breathing was a little flustered, he still stood tall and straight, and the black iron under his feet had been smashed and bent.

Finally received one person, Zhong Xun nodded in satisfaction and said: "You have passed. From today onwards, you are a registered disciple of our Qi Refining Sect. Remember to go to the hall to get the sect registration token after the assessment is over."

Seeing someone succeed is undoubtedly the greatest encouragement to the remaining challengers.Next, challenge the monks to continue to take the assessment with confidence.It's a pity that the miracle only happened once.When it was Liu Xi and Xiao Yao's turn, none of the monks who played in front passed.

Since there were only the last two people left in the team, Liu Xi and Xiao Yao were exposed in full view.Almost all the monks looked at these two people curiously: a weak scholar and a weak woman also want to participate in this strength assessment competition? !

Liu Xi was in front of Xiao Yao, seeing that there was no one in front of him, he smiled shyly, walked forward and shook his head and said, "Is it finally Xiaosheng's turn?"

Although Zhong Xun was not optimistic about him, he still nodded to him according to the rules, indicating that he could start.

Liu Xi put away the fan in his hand, and gently lifted his sleeves, exposing his two arms.That arm seems to have not been exposed to the sun for many years, and it is pink and white with a delicate luster like ceramics, which can be seen to be very well maintained.If it weren't for the fact that these arms are slightly thicker than those of a woman, everyone who sees them will think they are a pair of bright arms of a girl's family.

Seeing Liu Xi coming to the heavy hammer again, he held the handle of the hammer with both hands, with a relaxed expression on his face.He didn't yell or drink, but just looked up at the sky and said softly: "The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return after he is gone... Sigh."

He suddenly lifted it hard, blushing his cheeks, and then hammered it hard—without moving.

There was a moment of silence in the inner courtyard. Although it was expected, the result came too soon.The monks couldn't even bring up the mentality of booing, there was really no suspense.

But Liu Xi's face did not show a trace of frustration and depression that a loser should have.On the contrary, he looked satisfied, nodded with a clear expression and said to himself: "Sure enough, Xiaosheng really can't bring it up. Sixth Uncle sincerely doesn't lie to me. Now that the conclusion has been drawn, Xiaosheng can relax."

Then he cupped his hands towards Zhong Xun, "Ashamed, although Xiaosheng is not strong enough, he has no chance to refine weapons. But he still admires the masters of your sect very much. Weapon refining is indeed a heavy work that requires strength. Xiaosheng finally proved it today, and it is worth it." Row."

Zhong Xun was a little dumbfounded, forging a weapon requires strength, which is well known in the world of cultivating immortals, why do you need to verify it like this?If it weren't for the humble attitude of the man in front of him, I really doubt that this man is here to smash the scene.He waved his hand helplessly to signal him to leave quickly.

Finally, Xiao Yao was the only one left on the stage. With Liu Xi as a lesson from the past, all the monks in the inner courtyard no longer had any mentality of watching the theater, and they all took back their attention and concentrated on waiting in line.

Zhong Xun looked at the sky and saw that there was only one female cultivator left in the end, so he had the idea of ​​ending and returning to the sect earlier.He glanced at the token of the Immortal Feather Sect on Xiao Yao's waist, frowned slightly, and said politely: "My fellow Taoist, crafting is a heavy job, and the one in front has personally verified it. Even the figure is thinner Men can’t do it, let alone women. If you just want to try your luck, please come back.”

Even Liu Xi, who had been watching from the sidelines just after the assessment was over, suddenly interrupted: "What this fellow Daoist Zhong said is very true. Xiaosheng thinks that Xiaosheng is also a perseverant person like Xiaosheng, and he will never give up until he tries it himself. But Fellow Daoists have also seen Cai Xiaosheng’s performance just now. He even used his strength to feed, but he couldn’t lift it at all. It seems that even his hands are rubbed red, which is really heavy, and it’s not something a girl can do. "

As he spoke, he stretched out his reddened palm with a sincere expression.

Xiao Yao squinted her eyes, feeling that she was really unlucky.She can understand Zhong Xun's attitude. After all, with such a nonsensical guy like Liu Xi in front, it is normal for him to have preconceived notions that make him doubt his ability.The problem is that this Liu Xi, after being reckless and self-willed, he persuaded himself to give up. What kind of disease is this? !If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have changed places with him, and I ended up feeling depressed!

She didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said sincerely to Zhong Xun: "Young Daoist Zhong, I sincerely want to join the noble sect and learn how to forge weapons, and I don't intend to play games. I beg you Zhong Daoyou to let me have a try."

Hearing Xiao Yao's words, before Zhong Xun could react, he saw Liu Xi's face was slightly embarrassed, and he muttered in a low voice with a little grievance: "Xiaosheng is also sincere..."

"Liu Daoyou, the one who needs to be assessed now is my subordinates, not Daoyou."

Before he finished muttering, Xiao Yao turned her head abruptly and reminded him with a "friendly" smile.Her smile made one's heart shudder, causing Liu Xi to take a big step back in a daze, without saying a word.

Looking at Xiao Yao and then at Liu Xi, Zhong Xun hesitated for a while before nodding his head and said: "It's up to you, but please be mentally prepared, fellow Taoist, don't fail after... well, it's too uncomfortable."

Xiao Yao was speechless and sighed softly, it was true to show the real kung fu on the fake stage, it is more convincing to do it than to justify it.She stood in front of the heavy hammer, holding the handle of the hammer with one hand.

A trace of surprise flashed in Zhong Xun's eyes: She delusionally wanted to lift the heavy hammer with one hand? !
Before he was relieved, something even more unbelievable happened: she really lifted the hammer with only one hand!
The expression of the woman in front of her did not change in any way, and the heavy hammer, which was wider than her body, was lifted above her head, all this seemed so unreal.She just waved lightly, and smashed the heavy hammer heavily on the black iron, making a clear and loud "clang!".

This sound attracted the eyes of everyone in the inner courtyard to focus on this place again, everyone's eyes were full of shock, this...is it really not an illusion? !
Xiao Yao didn't pay attention to others, just like when she was practicing embryo casting, she tapped the black iron rhythmically, her eyes were focused and serious, as if there was only one person and one iron in the world, and there was nothing else.

With her continuous knocking, the black iron began to deform and flatten, slowly sinking into the bluestone ground.Zhong Xun's eyes also gradually changed from disbelief at the beginning to amazement, and finally only fanatical admiration for this strength remained.

"What an unstoppable force! You have passed!" Before Xiao Yao knocked thirty times, he excitedly called to stop.

She didn't even shed a drop of sweat!All the monks present stared at Xiao Yao with the eyes of looking at monsters. This kind of pure strength actually appeared in a woman. The strong contrast of one strong and one weak challenged everyone's visual nerves.Liu Xi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, staring at Xiao Yao, his eyes widened.

Xiao Yao was very satisfied with this effect, she clenched her fists and leaned against her chest, feeling her heartbeat.

He said that in the face of other people's doubts, we must use our strength to make them speechless!

He used to do this, and now she is trying to do the same.There is nothing in my heart that is more desirable than being strong, and the blood is surging in the body clamoring to prove her desire and excitement.

At the end, when she was about to enter the hall to receive the nominal disciple token, she still cast a narrow-minded glance at the sluggish Liu Xi and showed a provocative smile.Anyway, with his brain, he wouldn't see his little thoughts.

It is true that Liu Xi was not smart enough to see the meaning of her smile, but Xiao Yao underestimated some strange characteristics of this person, which also laid the root of trouble for her in the future.

When they came to the inner hall, Xiao Yao took a white token from Zhong Xun, looked it over carefully, and saw that one side was engraved with the words "Qi Lian Zong", and the other side was engraved with the words "registered name". A token for a nominal disciple to verify his identity.

Seeing her playing with the token, Zhong Xun explained with a smile: "With this token, you can go to the Artifact Refining School to learn how to refine weapons at any time. All the jade slips on the bottom floor of Zongnei Zongshuge use this token to pay a piece of Chinese spirit Stones can be viewed at will."

Xiao Yao bowed her hands and thanked: "Thank you Zhong Daoyou for your guidance. I don't know which master will I learn from after I join the sect?"

"The named disciples have not designated a fixed master. After the fellow daoists get our weapon from the refining mountain, they can go to the refining hall to learn from them. The rest depends on the luck of fellow daoist Xiao. It is not convenient to disclose other words. Fellow Daoist, you will know once you have been to the Artifact Refining Hall. But..."

Zhong Xun saw Xiao Yao's strength, she was a good seedling, but he couldn't help but want to help her

"If Fellow Daoist really wants to learn how to forge weapons well and is not afraid of suffering, I will send you the three words 'Bao Qi Temple'."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Yao kept an eye on her mind, as if it was not that easy to learn this craft, and after passing it, it seemed that the real problem began.

She thanked Zhong Xun very gratefully, and then left the inner hall.

Zhong Xun looked at her leaving back and sighed to himself: "Such a good talent, I hope it won't be ruined."
