Let the World See My Peerless Talent
Quiet Room.
The empty bottle of the Vein Marrow Jade Liquid tipped over and bounced to the ground, making a dense sound.
Liang Qu's Five Hearts Facing Skyward, and a faint blue-white Gang Qi circulated, cleansing his physical body.
in vivo.
The silvery-white light shines endlessly, forming a continuous cycle of three major veins and five minor veins.
Outside this cyclical system, a brand new minor vein slowly condenses, located in the upper part of the Three Dantians Thrusting Meridian! The sixth minor vein.
The Xiphoid Meridian! The entire small meridian, from its initial condensation to the circulation of Qi and Blood, was completed almost in one smooth motion! "It's done!"
Liang Qu opened his eyes.
The spiritual awakening on the Immortal Island Above the Clouds in less than a quarter of an hour was a turning point, a last straw, plus a bottle of Vein Marrow Jade Liquid, and it all fell into place!
The most celebratory thing is undoubtedly that the three major veins and six minor veins can now attempt to form a human bridge! A complete vein bridge requires the combination of three major veins and nine minor veins, but with three major veins and six minor veins, the quantity is sufficient to initially form a bridge, and the rest can be completed later! Swift as lightning! Liang Qu's mind stirred, and his true energy was revealed.
The Azure Dragon coils its body and lowers its head.
The White Ape's long hair flew in the wind.
Before Dream Entry, the Grand Purity Dragon Aura was 48 feet long, and the White Ape True Aura was 38 feet long.
Now, with the surge of spiritual energy, one is approaching five zhang and the other is approaching four zhang, both showing significant improvement! However, it is far from the terrifying improvement of three times the size that occurred when they observed the strange phenomenon.
"The dream lasted for almost half a quarter of an hour, while at the end of May, the strange phenomenon of the Immortal Island Above the Clouds lasted for a quarter of an hour."
"The Mirage Worm recover every eight to nine days, and the spiritual energy of the Immortal Island in the dream is about one-fifteenth of that?"
"So, by that calculation, it's equivalent to me receiving a complete extraordinary baptism Xiao San days?"
A smile appeared on Liang Qu.
Not bad.
A stable record of three baptisms every two years is enough to drive people crazy with envy.
Accumulated over time.
Catching up with Wei Lin's Crimson Demon Roc is just around the corner! "As the Mirage Worm evolves further, it should be able to shorten the entry interval and increase the stay time..."
magnification.
interval.
Duration of stay.
The three factors are multiplied; if any one of them is reduced, the resulting time will decrease significantly.
"There's not enough essence."
Liang Qu connects Ze Cauldron.
[Cauldron Master: Liang Qu]
[Refine Marsh Spirit: Marsh Ape (Deep Blue)]
[Marsh Spirit's Favor: Martial Dao Divinity Second Level (River Master Emperor); Ying Long Mark: Level 1; Tian Wu: Level 1]
[Marsh Essence: 31,000 points]
The Mirage Worm needs 25,000 points of Marsh Essence to evolve further, and it seems that the current amount is sufficient.
But people should think about the future.
For the River Master Emperor to ascend to the next level, he needs two strands of Long Qi and the Marsh Essence to create Spirit Fish.
After entering the Wolf Smoke.
Liang Qu could sometimes feel the difficulty of condensing meridians, especially the major meridians, which was quite different from the feeling of breaking through barriers without any obstacles in the past.
The Dragonfolk needs to Qi Consumption, and everything is going smoothly. I estimate it will cost another ten thousand.
The sum of the three Long Qi is 30,000.
"Half of the Dragonfolk's treasures remain, and much of what the Snake Demon gave us is also left; some of it has been digested."
Everything's in the bowl, take your time.
One day later.
The news of the Martial Saint's recruitment of talents spread throughout Pingyang Prefecture, and talented individuals from various counties rushed to apply, hoping to secure a chance for advancement.
People even came from Fragrant Township County, the northernmost part of Pingyang Prefecture, to take the exam.
When the King of Yue sailed along the coast, he must have sent someone to notify the local area, and then someone else would follow closely behind.
Two types of exams.
The written test involves writing an essay.
The event was held at the Shanghu Academy, with questions set by the King of Yue himself, and the academy and the Martial Saint's subordinates selecting and grading the participants.
When it was finally submitted, the King of Yue probably wouldn't have given it a second glance; it was likely a cross-selection process by several trusted subordinates.
This position seeks governance talent, not military skills, but rather abilities in policy-making, people's livelihood, poetry, and other areas.
The martial arts test was very simple and quite interesting.
All of Liang Qu's senior brothers and sisters came to join in the fun, and the Martial Arts School in the prefecture city and town all took a holiday.
The vast Yellow Earth Martial Arts Field was packed with people, filled with noisy conversations and cheers.
They didn't use the old-fashioned, one-on-one duels; they were too cumbersome and prone to bloodshed. The King of Yue only stayed for a few days in total.
Three tall White Marble pillars, each carved with a mythical beast, support the central position of the ground.
A faint silver light shimmered within the recessed patterns, bearing a striking resemblance to that on the Snake Demon's head.
Anyone who wishes to board the ship should step forward and give it a try.
If you can hold onto the object for a quarter of an hour without letting go, you will pass the test and receive a bronze medal.
Persist for half an hour and you'll win Silver Medal.
If you can hold on for 15 minutes, you'll get a gold medal—pure gold, the size of your palm, worth at least tens of taels, equivalent to hundreds of taels of silver!
Needless to say.
The three signs indicate the order of arrival in Ning Jiang Prefecture after boarding the ship.
Lu Gang pointed to the White Jade Pillar and explained to Liang Qu, who had just arrived.
"The three White Jade Pillar each contain the will of Martial Saint, allowing people of different realms to engage in rehearsed duels against each other."
To put it simply, the test is first your strength. If your strength exceeds the standard set by the Martial Saint, you will be able to handle things with ease and naturally last longer.
Even if you lack strength, a strong will can make you persevere; if you lack both, you won't qualify to board the ship.
"So, ordinary people can also come forward for testing?"
Lu Gang nodded. "That's right. There are also people with extraordinary perseverance among ordinary people. Not everyone can save up money to learn martial arts."
No wonder.
Liang Qu has good eyesight, and among the crowd of people, many are local villagers from Yi Xing Town, and in my memory, they are all ordinary people.
He pressed his hand against the pillar, rolled his eyes as if he'd been electrocuted, and was then dragged away like a dead dog.
But his fellow villagers continued to enjoy it.
Try it, it's free, at most it'll give you half a day to recover.
Good thing.
Ordinary people all participated and learned about the power and mystery of the Martial Saint.
The more popular Li LiBo and Chen Jiechang's narrative of River God sending messengers to assist virtuous people becomes, the more marketable it will be.
At least Liang Qu overheard people talking about it on the way, saying that some people even went to offer incense to the Snake Demon in front of the Prefectural Office.
Did any ordinary people pass through?
"No."
"How many have passed so far?"
"Fourteen coppers, six silvers, and no gold for now."
Xu Zishuai suddenly had a brilliant idea. "Is it possible to just win the gold medal and not board the ship?"
Liang Qu glanced sideways. "Senior brother, are you obsessed with money? You dare to take advantage of this?"
"Just kidding." Xu Zishuai shrugged.
"We can go aboard and have some fun even if we don't board the ship." Xiang Fangsu, Ke Wenbin and others came up from behind. "King of Yue said that if we are interested, we can all give it a try. However, if we don't board the ship, we won't be given gold medals. He said he's afraid that all of our people are gold medal holders and he'll swindle hundreds of thousands of dollars from us."
"The King of Yue was witty."
Lu Gang said respectfully.
It was clearly a joke with the younger generation.
It is true that most of the talented people in the country are concentrated in the imperial court, especially in special places like Pingyang Prefecture, where powerful figures gather and which has political significance. However, it is impossible for there to be hundreds of top geniuses.
"A Shui, shall we go up and give it a try?"
Ke Wenbin encouraged it.
Liang Qu shook his head. "No, what if it's just a bronze medal? Wouldn't I be incredibly embarrassed?"
"Really not going?"
"Not interested."
Ran Zhongshi smiled and said, "The Steward of the Celestial Ship Merchant Guild invited the King of Yue to participate in tomorrow's auction, and the King of Yue agreed."
The Steward then promised that at tomorrow's auction by the Celestial Ship Merchant Guild, those holding gold medals or who have passed the test will receive a 5% discount on their bids. "We've come here now to share this good news with everyone."
"Now I have no choice but to let everyone see my extraordinary talent!"
Liang Qu rolled up his sleeves and strode forward.
