MTL - Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?-Chapter 39 39%
Unlike the three direct disciples who had just touched the test stone before, when the test stone glowed in full bloom, Ji Qingzhuo made the light emitted by it weak.
The surrounding disciples couldn't believe it when they saw the test stone, because they hadn't seen such a dark test stone for a long time.
Ji Qingzhuo is Yu Sukong's disciple!
A mortal is indeed a mortal, even if she worships the best master, her cultivation level may not be very high.
Seeing that the light of the test stone was weak, Ji Qingzhuo was not in a hurry, she slowly output her mana continuously, without any sign of impatience.
Tiny mana slowly flowed into the test stone like a trickle. Although Ji Qingzhuo's body meridians can store less mana, her way of using mana is extremely subtle.
When transporting mana into the test stone, it is inevitable that some energy will escape outside and cannot be captured by the test stone, but Ji Qingzhuo is able to calculate carefully, so that every point of mana can be injected into the test stone.
Bit by bit, the light of the test stone became brighter and brighter until it slowed down.
Ji Qingzhuo's mana is almost exhausted, and the brightness of the test stone has just passed the fifth level, so she still seems to have some energy left.
So she searched for all the remaining mana in her meridians and sent them all over. If she could earn one more point, she would be more confident in the assessment of other subjects later on.
Until the end, Ji Qingzhuo's lips turned pale, she felt extremely weak, and her body was on the verge of falling, as if she was going to fall down the next moment, and this was the result of running out of mana.
And she simply doesn't have the ability to absorb aura by herself to recover mana.
Shen Rongyu also noticed that something was wrong with her, he was most familiar with Ji Qingzhuo's situation, she really sent out all the mana in her meridians like this.
Ji Qingzhuo persisted until the end. Of course, the test stone did not break through the sixth-order barrier, but her cultivation was very close.
Mu Ying checked the situation of the test stone carefully, and she couldn't believe it, because according to her estimation, Ji Qingzhuo's cultivation should be able to surpass the fifth level of Qi refining, but she didn't expect Ji Qingzhuo to actually So much more than that.
You must know that even the disciples who participated in the test with her have the lowest aptitude, they still have the upper-middle cultivation aptitude, and she doesn't have a trace of immortal bone, so she doesn't know how to cultivate to this level.
She announced Ji Qingzhuo's score: "Sixty-eight points."
This number is already very close to the score that the sixth level of Qi refining should have. It may not be a good result for other disciples, but for Ji Qingzhuo himself, it is an unbelievable result.
When Ji Qingzhuo put down the test stone, she felt a little unsteady, but she knew that if she fell on the stage, it would not only attract the attention of all the monks present, but also expose her inability to absorb spiritual energy to restore mana fact.
How does a disciple who can't even absorb spiritual energy by himself reach the fifth level of refining energy? This will make everyone suspicious.
Ji Qingzhuo walked down slowly, and she came to Yu Sukong's water mirror, and leaned on the water mirror, her eyelashes were half drooping, as if they were about to close in the next moment.
Cultivating immortals is too difficult, really too difficult, she thought in her heart.
In the silence of the audience, Ji Qingzhuo suddenly felt someone grabbing her wrist from behind, and Shen Rongyu sneaked over from behind at some point.
Everyone was staring at the test stone in Mu Ying's hand, no one noticed the situation here, so no one noticed that Shen Rongyu held her hand.
Shen Rongyu's big palm was warm and powerful, and some mana was injected into Ji Qingzhuo's meridians through him, and she finally had some strength, as if a dry pond attracted water.
Ji Qingzhuo wanted to turn around and thank her, but Shen Rongyu held her shoulders—he didn't want to expose Ji Qingzhuo's inability to absorb spiritual energy by himself.
However, in this temple, there are always people who pay too much attention to their situation.
Jiang Qianke noticed that Shen Rongyu was holding her hand, and there was an unclear light in his eyes, and he remained silent.
Elder Mu Ying reconfirmed the situation of the test stone, and then filled in Ji Qingzhuo's score of 68 on the list.
Her name is at the end, Shen Rongyu's name is at the front, the distance between them is so far.
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and many uninformed disciples thought that Ji Qingzhuo would make a big fool of himself here, for example, she didn't even have a passing grade.
She can pass, reaching the fifth level of qi refining is already surprising enough, and she is much higher than the fifth level of qi refining, and she is about to catch up with those ordinary disciples.
After a moment of silence, Yu Sukong raised his voice: "Okay, what a good result."
It is anecdote that it is a good result from a cultivator in the transcending period to say that he has achieved the fifth level of Qi refining for one year—and he really thinks so, because the joy in his tone cannot be hidden, just like Like the gratified parents who posted the report card of their skin child who just passed the final exam for everyone to see.
It is really gratifying to pass the pass and not to wipe the line.
"Yeah." Mu Ying said with a smile, "I didn't expect that either, but she has already done a very good job."
Ji Qingzhuo seldom receives positive comments from others, so she breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
However, only she knows that she does not rely on her own strength in cultivation, it is Shen Rongyu who helps her inject spiritual energy into her body bit by bit.
She blinked, and touched the hand on the side of her body back, but didn't touch his hand.
Shen Rongyu didn't know when she had left and returned to her original position.
The first item of Xuanyunzong's annual test has officially ended. Although Ji Qingzhuo got a bottom score, for herself, it is considered a breakthrough.
Before she returned to Baishui Island, she went to Mingxin Lake where Elder Qiao Shu lived to have a meal. The news in the main hall spread faster than Shen Rongyu took her flying.
Elder Qiao Shu put a stack of stir-fried seasonal vegetables in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Qing Zhuo scored sixty-eight points, almost reaching the sixth level of Qi refining."
Shen Rongyu came with Ji Qingzhuo, he sat in the bamboo corridor outside, watching Ji Qingzhuo from a distance.
Ji Qingzhuo lowered her head to pick rice into her mouth, she nodded, her voice was indistinct: "Yes, thanks to Senior Brother Xiaoyu."
"Qing Zhuo, it's a miracle that you can practice." Qiao Shu couldn't help feeling emotional. He turned his head to look at Shen Rongyu, with a slightly teasing smile in his tone, "Rong Yu, you must have put a lot of thought into it."
Ji Qingzhuo paused when he chewed the vegetables. He not only put a lot of thought into it, he...he clearly was...
Her cheeks were slightly red, and she managed to swallow the food in her mouth.
Ji Qingzhuo didn't dare to look at Shen Rongyu, but Shen Rongyu was looking at her. Facing Elder Qiao Shu's question, he nodded without blushing, and said softly, "That's right."
After he finished speaking, the chopsticks in Ji Qingzhuo's hand dropped, and she hurriedly picked them up.
Shen Rongyu looked at her with some probing eyes. He didn't understand why Ji Qingzhuo reacted like this every time he mentioned cultivation. He had always thought that she was ashamed because of that "double cultivation" slip of the tongue, but it has been so long Yes, does she still care about this?
Ji Qingzhuo knew that only she knew about what happened in the practice space, so she took a deep breath to let herself stop thinking about it.
If Shen Rongyu knew what was going on in the cultivation space, she...she...she would find a crack in the ground to sneak in, and then never see him again, no matter how the system begged her, she would not face him.
Ji Qingzhuo's face was almost buried in the bowl, and it took a long time before she finished her lunch.
Shen Rongyu was very patient, holding his sword, leaning against the bamboo porch and waiting for her quietly.
After Ji Qingzhuo finished eating, he reached out to her: "Zhuozhuo, let's go."
Ji Qingzhuo bid farewell to Qiao Shu, and stepped on his snow burial sword. It was late autumn, and the clothes on Ji Qingzhuo had the function of keeping warm. Although she was not too cold, she felt the oncoming cool wind, She still sneezed.
"Cold?" Shen Rongyu turned her head and asked her.
"Suddenly it's cold." Ji Qingzhuo said shyly.
"Sixty-eight points, that's very high." Shen Rongyu never praised her until now.
"Senior Brother Xiaoyu, it's you..." Ji Qingzhuo whispered.
"If sixty points are mine, the remaining eight points are yours." Of course, Shen Rongyu discovered the manipulative ability Ji Qingzhuo displayed when injecting mana into the test stone.
Precise and calm, not a single bit of mana is wasted, almost artistic spell manipulation skills.
Ji Qingzhuo let out a soft "hmm".
"Want the top three?" Shen Rongyu finally asked this question. In fact, when Ji Qingzhuo returned to Baishui Island late at night with Mao Mao in his arms, he knew the reason for Ji Qingzhuo's hard work.
For a donkey, what a ridiculous reason.
"Think." Ji Qingzhuo answered him with only one word.
"Tomorrow is the test for the beast control class." Shen Rongyu knew the general content of the test, because he also took the test back then.
"I will try my best." Ji Qingzhuo said that she had a good relationship with Bingshuang recently, but it was not as close as before, because Bingshuang should have understood some truths, so she just regarded her as an ordinary master.
She knew that this would be the end result, but her mood was still unavoidable. She was going to say goodbye to Bingshuang after the beast control class was over.
Shen Rongyu's beautiful eyes drooped slightly, he took a glance from the corner of his eye, and he knew that Ji Qingzhuo was thinking about those little animals again.
He didn't break Ji Qingzhuo's little thought, but asked, "Are you still practicing today?"
Cultivation... Since Ji Qingzhuo last time, Shen Rongyu has always been like that in the cultivation space. She just finished the cultivation test today and wants to take a rest.
So she shook her head decisively: "No."
Shen Rongyu felt more and more that the cultivation of the two of them was not right. Of course he knew what kind of person he was, but Ji Qingzhuo... of course didn't know his true face.
Ji Qingzhuo still went to Shen Rongyu's place to feed Youyou, she hugged the increasingly heavy little guy in her arms, and secretly kissed it, it was so cute, she couldn't help it.
She was behind her back, and Shen Rongyu didn't let Shen Rongyu see it, because she felt that her behavior was a bit stupid.
Of course, as soon as she lowered her head, Shen Rongyu knew what she was going to do. He saw Ji Qingzhuo's hair slipping from behind and blocking her body, and she leaned over to kiss Youyou firmly on the forehead .
It also likes Ji Qingzhuo's closeness, so it leans over and lays on Ji Qingzhuo's shoulder.
With Ji Qingzhuo's back facing him, and Shen Rongyu facing him, the little guy waved his paw to show his friendliness.
—In Shen Rongyu's eyes, this kind of action is like a third party showing off.
Shen Rongyu: "..." I was a little angry, but he bought it for her himself.
Ji Qingzhuo likes these little animals very much, but she doesn't like Shen Rongyu as much as these little animals - even though he is really good to her.
And the reason why she is like this is very simple, because whether it is Mao Mao or You You, they only have her in their eyes, and they wholeheartedly regard her as the only master, looking at these cute little guys, Ji Qingzhuo In their clear eyes, only themselves can be seen.
Now that she has accepted such love, she will naturally repay it in the same way. This is a very simple truth.
Ji Qingzhuo patted You You on the back. After holding it for a while, her arms felt a little sore, so she put it down.
After playing with Youyou, she carried him to its den, and only then did she have time to pay attention to Shen Rongyu.
She hesitated for so long today, but she actually had something to do. When she hugged you just now, she was a little absent-minded. She didn't make up her mind to act until just now.
Shen Rongyu was leaning on the bamboo couch, with the Snow Burying Sword placed beside him, shining with the snowy light, he looked at Ji Qingzhuo with unclear emotions in his eyes.
Ji Qingzhuo called him, his tone soft, as usual: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu."
Shen Rongyu's tone was dull: "Yes."
Ji Qingzhuo lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked towards here slowly, her steps hesitated.
Shen Rongyu's fingers tapped slowly on the hilt of the sword, he didn't know what Ji Qingzhuo was going to do.
After all, today I said I will not practice, right?
Ji Qingzhuo stood still in front of him, she was a little confused, because this was the first time she did such a thing.
She thought it was useless, and perhaps in Shen Rongyu's eyes, it would be ridiculous.
But she can't give him anything else, he has helped him so much, she should show something.
Ji Qingzhuo lowered his head and opened his purse, the power of moonlight that conch was familiar with poured out again.
The air pressure around Shen Rongyu's body became even lower, and the withered and yellow leaves in the courtyard fell from the treetops and fell on the water surface, creating circles of ripples.
Ji Qingzhuo didn't know that she was directly playing in his minefield, so she dug in her small purse, and finally took out a small thing.
It was a small jade pendant with the familiar epiphyllum pattern engraved on it. This jade pendant was very ugly, and the lines of the seal carving were crooked.
"Here." Ji Qingzhuo lay the white jade pendant in his palm, and stretched out his hand in front of Shen Rongyu, she hesitated to say these two words.
It was too ugly, especially when it was handed to Shen Rongyu, who looked like a banished immortal, the jade pendant looked even uglier.
Ji Qingzhuo really wanted to take back her hand, but she still wanted to hold on.
However, it was these two short words that dispelled the dull atmosphere around Shen Rongyu.
His handsome eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes fell on the jade pendant in Ji Qingzhuo's palm, and he asked, "What is this?"
Shen Rongyu asked knowingly, but Ji Qingzhuo answered seriously: "I carved it myself."
She had been carving it a long time ago, and it was the stone that Elder Qiao Shu brought back for her. She spent two hundred middle-grade spirit stones and bought the valuable ice jade. There is no special effect, but it is clear and clear, and it is good for decoration.
Ji Qingzhuo didn't know what she could give to Shen Rongyu, so she carved him an epiphyllum jade pendant. It was the first time she got this thing, but the engraving was really ugly, and she was blind to this good stone.
"Yes, wear it on your waist, or on your sword." Ji Qingzhuo introduced its use.
Shen Rongyu stared at the jade pendant, but he didn't take it.
Ji Qingzhuo thought that he was disgusted, so she folded her palms together, and her voice fell calmly: "Senior brother Xiaoyu... If you don't like it, wait until the day when the mountain is opened before buying someone else's engraved one."
She knew this move was too ridiculous, and Shen Rongyu really couldn't accept it.
But at the next moment, Shen Rongyu held her wrist, his thumb pressed against her wrist, and then slowly slid up, breaking away her tightly clenched fingers.
This epiphyllum jade pendant was held by Ji Qingzhuo for a long time, with the warmth of her palm, Shen Rongyu easily pulled it out from her palm.
"Better on the waist, or better on the sword?" He raised his head and asked.
He looked at Ji Qingzhuo's slightly dazed eyes with deep eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
