MTL - Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?-Chapter 38 38%
Shen Rongyu glanced at her, then turned around and did not speak.
Ji Qingzhuo saw his score, which was a full score of 100, hanging high above everyone's names.
She remembered the system's explanation to her again - "You'd better make your ranking closer to Shen Rongyu, so that you can get closer to him."
Ji Qingzhuo didn't believe the system's words, if she didn't want to give Mao Mao the top-grade elixir, she wouldn't work hard at all.
She feels that cultivation is useless, and she is not suitable for cultivation.
Ji Qingzhuo recalled her thoughts, standing behind Shen Rongyu, she saw Yu Sukong standing in the water mirror waving at her.
According to the usual practice, the disciple who has a personal master will stand behind the master, so Ji Qingzhuo turned his head and said to Shen Rongyu: "Senior brother Xiaoyu, I'm going."
Shen Rongyu raised his eyes, glanced at Yu Sukong in the water mirror, he nodded and said, "Okay."
With his head down, Ji Qingzhuo trotted to Yu Sukong's water mirror, and Shen Rongyu also stood beside the elders by the way.
An elder who was acquainted with him at the door turned sideways and asked Shen Rongyu in a low voice: "Rongyu, you really care about this little junior sister who lives with you on Baishui Island."
Although Shen Rongyu looks generous and gentle on the outside, in fact, he always has an alienated temperament that rejects people thousands of miles away. He has lived in Baishui Island for a long time and rarely goes out. He never cares about such lively and important events in the sect.
Today, Shen Rongyu unexpectedly came here, which surprised those elders who knew his temperament.
"After all, it is the junior sister who has been with me." Shen Rongyu said softly, "I have to come and see."
What he said was true, Ji Qingzhuo's cultivation was really pulled up by him bit by bit.
The conversation between Shen Rongyu and the elder next to him was not too loud, and it happened to reach the ears of Jiang Qianke. It has been a long time since the last attack on Baishui Island, and his lips are still pale, as if he was injured that day. Not always good.
Jiang Qianke listened to their conversation, and then turned his attention to Ji Qingzhuo. He didn't understand why such a rational and upright disciple in his sect was bewildered by her.
When this thought arose in Jiang Qianke's mind, a system alarm sounded in Ji Qingzhuo's mind: "Attention—the killing intent to the host was found within the monitoring range, and the danger level is level one."
Ji Qingzhuo has heard this warning sound dozens of times, and she has gotten used to it now. She pressed her small mirror with one hand to signal the system to silence.
Yu Sukong in the water mirror noticed her small movements, his gentle eyes fell on the small mirror in front of her chest, and asked Ji Qingzhuo in a low voice: "Qing Zhuo, does this mirror have any special meaning?"
Is there any special significance... Ji Qingzhuo thought about it, and it probably didn't exist. When she traveled through time, she had this mirror on her body, so the system regarded it as her habitat.
So Ji Qingzhuo shook her head, bent her fingers, and put the small mirror in the skirt.
Soon, the disciples from their Ascension Conference came to the center of the main hall one after another to accept the test of Elder Mu Ying.
The test method this time was simple and rude. Mu Ying took out a jade-like test stone, asked the disciples who came to participate in the test to put their hands on the test stone, and then they injected all the mana they could inject into the test stone .
The more mana a monk's body meridians can hold, the higher his cultivation level. Of course - a powerful monk can absorb spiritual energy without interruption during breathing, and continuously replenish the mana he consumes. In order to prevent the absorption of spiritual energy from supplementing the output mana The test stone that Mu Ying took out can cut off the communication between the monk's meridians and the spiritual energy of the outside world.
Once you pick up the test stone, you have to output mana until you can no longer output it.
Ji Qingzhuo watched the test process twice, and gave a simple summary to the system who was also watching the test: "Isn't this just testing lung capacity?"
The test order of the direct disciples is at the bottom, and the order of their master's status in the sect is reversed. Yu Sukong is the strongest, so as his disciple, she should be the last one to go up.
The ordinary disciples over there had finished the test, and most of them were around the sixth level. When it was the turn of the direct disciples, Qiu Mingxue stopped Yingxiu and went up first.
Her arrogance is not without reason. As the princess of Ze Country, her immortal bone aptitude is excellent, plus she cultivates hard, so her cultivation test is the eighth level of Qi Refining.
This is a very good result. You must know that sometimes the new disciples who come to the Ascension to Immortals Conference at the eighth level of Qi Refining are enough to be the top of the list.
But Qiu Mingxue was obviously unlucky and bumped into Meng Yaolan and Shen Rongyu, so it was impossible for her to get the first place.
She didn't regard the monk who was hard to come by as her opponent, so she readily accepted the result, raised her head high, and retreated.
When Qiu Mingxue fell, she looked proud, but in fact her hands and feet were weak, her steps were sloppy, and even her forehead was covered with sweat. She tried her best to pass the eighth step.
The disciples watching in the hall raised their heads to look at her, and their faces inevitably showed envy. The eighth level of Qi Refining seems to be not much different from the fifth level and sixth level, but the further you go, the more difficult it is to practice. The difference between them is not even a little bit. .
The next one to go up was Ying Xiu, the silver bracelet on her wrist jingled, and the hand that took the test stone trembled.
Mu Ying encouraged her: "Just output your mana with all your strength, don't be nervous."
"Yeah." Ying Xiu nodded, she passed the crowd and glanced at Qiu Mingxue.
She pursed her lips and poured mana into the test stone. The test stone lit up, emitting a light blue light, and getting brighter and brighter.
Fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth...
No, she didn't reach the eighth level. When the mana output was about to reach the eighth level, her hand quickly moved away from the test stone.
In the end, her grades stayed above the seventh level of Qi Refining and close to the eighth level. No matter who Elder Mu Ying is, she could tell at a glance that Ying Xiu still had enough strength. If she output all her mana, her score should be more than half of the eighth level — Taller than her princess.
But she just controlled her cultivation so that it did not exceed the eighth level.
"Aren't you going to continue?" Mu Ying smiled and winked at Ying Xiu.
Ying Xiu shook her head, and she hurried down the stage.
Elder Mu Ying strictly followed the feedback from the test stone, and gave Yingxiu a score of 79, just behind Qiu Mingxue with a score of 80.
Ji Qingzhuo also noticed Yingxiu's special situation. She remembered the conversation between Yingxiu and Qiu Mingxue that she accidentally overheard not long ago. The level of effort is no worse than hers, even better.
— But for some unknown reason, Yingxiu dared not show that she was stronger than Qiu Mingxue, was it because she was afraid that her princess would be angry? But they are all cultivating immortals, so there shouldn't be any difference between the superior and inferior in the mortal world...
Ji Qingzhuo was a little puzzled, these thoughts kept spinning in her mind, and her system seemed to have seen her doubts, so she explained: "Host, the history of cultivating immortals in this world is not very long. Thousands of years ago, The burst of spiritual energy affects the human body, giving them the ability to cultivate."
"Before the aura erupted, the division of power in this world was still based on countries. For example, the Dongshan royal family, which Shen Rongyu belonged to, was the largest and most glorious dynasty in the Yunze region, and the same is true of Zeguo, where Qiu Mingxue belongs." The system introduction began. In the history of cultivation in this world of immortality, "Sects and cultivation families all appeared after the imperial power, so the concept of superiority and inferiority brought about by the imperial power has not been completely eliminated."
It was only then that Ji Qingzhuo understood the relationship between the country and the sect. Thinking about it this way, Yingxiu's actions were understandable.
Just when she was in a daze, Meng Yaolan, who was behind Jiang Qianke, walked up. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, she was dashing and handsome, and her posture was dazzling and confident.
Mu Ying smiled at her, and handed her the test stone: "As expected of the family that Master Yuanwu belongs to, if you continue to cultivate like this, your future strength will not be inferior to Master Yuanwu."
Hearing this, Meng Yaolan nodded to Mu Ying, she didn't speak any more, and just kept pouring mana into the test stone in her hand.
The blue light became brighter, and there was no tendency to stop. Meng Yaolan continued to output mana, with ease, and with a relaxed posture.
Until the brightness of the test stone reached its peak, the small stone in Meng Yaolan's hand was as dazzling as a blue sun.
She outputted the mana of the ninth level of refining Qi easily and freely, and it seemed that she could output a little more mana. This situation was exactly the same as when Shen Rongyu was tested back then.
Such qualifications can only be described as a genius, but Meng Yaolan's posture was neither humble nor overbearing, and after the test was over, he politely returned the test stone to Mu Ying.
Mu Ying gave her a perfect score, 100 points, her name and Shen Rongyu's are next to each other, which is a tie.
Ji Qingzhuo was not surprised by this result, she continued to be in a daze until Yu Sukong in the water mirror called her: "Qingzhuo, go up."
Before the test started, they could roughly see that Ji Qingzhuo's cultivation level, the fifth level of Qi refining, was just a passing score.
— But her master is Yu Sukong, who is as powerful as Yin Muchen, the head of Xuanyunzong.
She has such a good master, but her cultivation is not even comparable to those ordinary disciples...
When Ji Qingzhuo walked onto the stage, she felt everyone's eyes on her. This time, no one would stop her. She clutched the corner of her clothes and felt more and more nervous.
Shen Rongyu stood in the middle of the crowd, his eyes did not fall on Ji Qingzhuo's face, his light and indifferent eyes stayed on her hand holding the corner of her clothes.
Ji Qingzhuo didn't know where to look, so he just looked in a certain direction in the hall, and he could meet the eyes of those monks who were exploring, curious, puzzled, disdainful, and expectant.
She was afraid of looking into the eyes of people, and her eyes wandered around the crowd until she found the island in her eyes.
Ji Qingzhuo saw his pure white sleeves and the fairy embroidered on his shoulders, which was very familiar. Although Shen Rongyu looked at her, he didn't look at her face or her eyes.
So she looked at his shoulder, her uneasy eyes seemed to have found an island where she lived, and found peace for a while.
The eyes of the two intertwined, as if there was an unspeakable tacit understanding.
Mu Ying handed the test stone to Ji Qingzhuo: "Qingzhuo, come on."
Ji Qingzhuo withdrew her gaze and put her hand on the test stone. She was very focused at this moment.
She knew that her cultivation had reached the fifth level of qi refining, but to what extent she had reached the fifth level depended on the feedback from the test stone.
Because of the extended practice time that day, she reached the fifth level of Qi refining earlier. Anyway, the cultivation test is scored, and every point she can earn is one point.
This is a contest between her and herself, and has nothing to do with other people on the list. She just needs to do better than expected... that's enough.
The test stone in Ji Qingzhuo's hand began to emit a faint light.
The author has something to say:
Ji Qingzhuo: I know my score starts with 6, but I don’t know the exact 60s
