Qin Tiexin is sitting on a wooden bench with his back straight.
He didn't speak, but Chen Xi could tell from his silence that he understood what he meant.
"Senior brother, do you want me to participate in Star Selection?"
"Yes." Chen Xi stood up straight and put away Jade Slip, "I have tried all the ways I can think of, and this is currently the only legal way to enter the palace. The palace is heavily guarded. Breaking in is a dead end, and there is no way to find connections. The palace of the Myriad Stars Dynasty is not open to outsiders. The most likely opportunity is Star Selection. If you are among the top few, you will be qualified to step into that door. As long as you can enter the palace with this thing and no need to do anything else, I will naturally have a way to find that medical practitioner."
He took out a small jade figure from the storage anklet, about the size of a palm.
The appearance of the villain is 90% similar to Chen Xi's "real appearance". The eyebrows, bridge of the nose, and jawline are all carefully carved, and even the folds of the robe are carved out one by one. The villain lies in the palm of Chen Xi. The jade is warm and moist, and glows with a faint green light under the reflection of the stove fire.
"This is?"
"A kind of beauty puppet, which contains a trace of my soul." Chen Xi handed the villain to Qin Tiexin, "As long as you enter the palace and find a secret place to put down this puppet, I can sense it outside and transform into myself through the villain."
Qin Tiexin took the jade figure and the moment his fingertips touched the jade, he could feel the subtle spiritual power flowing inside, like a hair being gently plucked on his fingertips. It was indeed the fluctuation of soul storage. He had read similar descriptions in the Flowing Cloud Sect's classics in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Star Selection does not allow anyone with a higher level of cultivation than Foundation Establishment to enter. Chen Xi is Golden Core Realm. There is no way to enter the palace through normal means, so we can only use this trick.
"Okay."
Qin Tiexin agreed immediately.
Not only because Chen Xi is his senior brother, he came here to reattach his broken right arm. But he can also see that Chen Xi really cares about that medical practitioner. There has been no news for so long, and the senior brother did not say anything, and he is probably a little anxious.
What you can do is clearly defined.
Chen Xi glanced at him and moved the corner of his mouth. Without saying any polite words, he took out another Jade Slip from the storage anklet and handed it to Qin Tiexin.
"This is the assessment content of Star Selection in previous years. According to the rules of previous years, there are five levels in total, which have never been changed. Written Examination Trial, Temperament Trial, Secret Realm Trial, Skills Trial, and Arena Trial have been the same for hundreds of years."
Qin Tiexin sticks Jade Slip on the forehead, and Divine Sense probes in.
"The first level is a written test. The assessment content is very broad. There are three thousand questions and one hour to answer. Unless you are an extremely powerful monk Divine Sense, it is absolutely impossible to answer them. So you need to select the questions that you are confident in answering." There was a trace of undisguised worry in Chen Xi's tone, "This is the level I'm most worried about. You basically didn't come into contact with these things when you were Azure Xuan Region, so your foundation in this area is almost empty."
Qin Tiexin Looking down, Jade Slip is densely recorded with the range of questions from past written examinations, covering the basics of formations, spirit medicine identification, Demon Beast illustrations, king The three thousand questions cover everything from court laws and regulations, geographical mineral veins, common sense of cultivation, and even military strategies and astrology Deduction. Even a monk who grew up in Heavenly South Domain cannot answer them all correctly and must be selective.
"The next few levels won't be difficult for you." Chen Xi leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, "Especially the combat ones. Even if you are one-handed, there are not many people below Golden Core Realm who can match you. I'll see if there is any way to make up for your one-handed disadvantage as soon as possible."
This is not flattery. Chen Xi has seen with his own eyes how Qin Tiexin killed enemies in Wind and Snow Pass. He knows the fighting talent of his junior brother best.
"However, the additional exams in the middle and the final assessment are different every year, so I can't help you."
Qin Tiexin put down Jade Slip and mentally went through the structure of the five levels. The written test relies on memory, the character of mind depends on concentration, the secret realm and skills should be related to combat and actual operations, and the arena is a head-to-head encounter. There are still variables in the middle, but the variables are fair to everyone.
"Okay, I'm ready."
Chen Xi took out another Jade Slip from the storage anklet and handed it over. "These are all the written test questions that I can collect in the past. I have organized them for you. You can take them back and memorize as many as you can. However, the elimination rate of the written test is not high, as long as you can pass the line."
Qin Tiexin took Jade Slip and put it in his arms.
The two discussed what preparations were still needed. This matter was indeed beyond Qin Tiexin's original plan. He came to Heavenly South Domain for treatment of his arm and to find Lin Feng. He never thought about participating in any Star Selection. Lin Chuan invited him to participate many times but he refused.
But since senior brother needs him to participate in Star Selection and enter the palace, he must be well prepared.
Chen Xi asked him, "What else do you need?"
Qin Tiexin doesn't try to be pretentious with him. If you need anything, just tell him directly, no need to be polite.
"Demon Beast flesh and blood, a lot of Demon Beast flesh and blood."
He told Chen Xi about his situation. There were other things he could prepare for, such as the five attributes Spirit Stone and Buddhist martial arts. But this large amount of flesh and blood was difficult to deal with.
The Buddhist monks are either already Grain Avoidance, or they don't eat meat at all and only eat spiritual grass and spiritual fruits. His behavior of purchasing Demon Beast flesh and blood in large quantities can easily arouse suspicion. Originally, he wanted to go out of the city to hunt Demon Beast himself, but unfortunately there is no such place close to Ten Thousand Stars City.
In the capital city of a country, the surrounding Demon Beast gathering areas have been basically hunted down. Even the low-level Demon Beast of the Qi Refinement Realm can't be seen, but there are quite a few for viewing.
Chen Xi thought for a while, "Leave this matter to me. What about the others?"
Qin Tiexin shook his head. "No more."
He can't rely on his senior brother to solve everything. Chen Xi He took risks and sneaked into Illustrious Dao Ward and the Imperial City, and he has already done too much. Demon Beast Since senior brother agreed, he will not ask any more questions and figure out the rest by himself.
Seeing that this junior brother had his own ideas, Chen Xi didn't ask any more questions. He thought about it and took out a stack of talisman papers from the storage anklet.
The talisman papers are light yellow in color, each about the size of a palm, with complex Spirit Rune painted on them with cinnabar. The talisman paper is very thin, so thin that it is almost transparent. When stacked together, the texture of the next one can be seen through the surface of the talisman.
"This is Form-Changing Talisman. It's better than the ones I gave you last time." Chen Xi stuffed the stack of talisman papers into Qin Tiexin's hands. "On your way to the inn, there were two different groups of monks following you."
Qin Tiexin pointed his fingers.
"They've been dumped, but they don't seem to have any malicious intent." Chen Xi waved his hand to tell him not to be nervous, "The first wave was probably sent by Lin Residence, and it's probably because Lin Residence didn't trust you. The other wave came from I don't know where it came from. It followed them very covertly and their tactics were pretty good."
He pointed at the talisman paper in Qin Tiexin's hand. "If you want to go out from Lin Residence in the future, use this Form-Changing Talisman. Golden Core Realm and you won't be able to see through it. However, there is a restriction. You cannot use spiritual power. It will break as soon as you use it. One piece can be used for one day."
Qin Tiexin lowered his head and looked at the talisman paper in his hand. It was a transformation talisman that even a golden elixir could not see through. Talismans of this grade were placed outside with at least several hundred spirit stones. Chen Xi gave him a stack of them.
He carefully put the talisman into the secret pocket in his sleeve and put it close to his body.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Xi went through Star Selection's registration time, precautions, and common pitfalls at each level. He spoke very quickly, and occasionally commented on some of the Myriad Stars Dynasty's rules in a few unpleasant words, and Qin Tiexin remembered them all in his heart.
After about half an hour, Chen Xi looked at the sky outside the window.
"That's almost it. The guy outside can't last long alone, and we can't leave for too long for fear of people getting suspicious."
He removed the soundproof array, led Qin Tiexin, who had been transformed again by Illusory Face Insect, out of the brick house, and returned to the front shed through the narrow corridor. There were still the same tables in the shed, but the couple had left, the two swordsmen were still drinking tea, and the man in gray robe had disappeared. The young waiter was quickly clearing away the tea bowls on the empty table, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the shopkeeper coming out.
"Master, someone just came to ask if there was any Spiritual Fruit Mist Tea. I said no, and the person left."
"Okay." Chen Xi turned back into the chubby shopkeeper with a friendly face and a rich voice, and his voice became thicker, "Sir, please go slowly, are your pants dry? Just do it, just do it. Come for tea next time!"
Qin Tiexin stood at the door of the tea shed, turned his head and glanced, then turned and walked along the gravel road towards the official road.
He didn't look back, Chen Xi didn't send more gifts, and went to greet the new guests.
After walking out of the tea shed, Qin Tiexin found a bush on the roadside, let Illusory Face Insect get off his face, transformed into "Mingjue" again, and walked towards the North City Gate.
It's still early and it's rare to go out, so I just want to make some preparations.
