Chapter 12 Just Pretend You Didn’t Hear It

The stern-looking Third Senior Brother talked endlessly, all of which were about the situation in the Qingyu Sect. After a while, he changed the subject: "You are the main fire element of the Five Elements. I remember that the sect has a set of Great Flame Burning Desolate Art, which should be very suitable for you. Of course, if you want to develop in the direction of metal, you can also develop in the sect. There are many metal techniques. And if you join our Qingyu Sect, even if you are a trial disciple, you will have a quota of two soul-enriching pills per month. If you can pass the assessment and become a formal disciple, the quota will double. Remember it?"

Lu Ye nodded quickly: "Remember it."

He was puzzled in his heart. What does this mean? Why does it sound like recruiting himself? In this way, he, a cultivator who has opened up a way, really has a great advantage.

He was secretly proud in his heart.

The Third Senior Brother said again: "Just remember it, sit down, calm down, and concentrate. You may feel some pain later, but don't worry. This is just the process of testing your talent. Don't use your spiritual power to resist."

"Yes!" Lu Ye responded, put his hands on his knees, palms facing up, and closed his eyes.

The next moment, he felt the movement of spiritual power surging out. Although he was curious about what the third brother was doing, he couldn't open his eyes to see. When the spiritual power surged, he felt a slight vibration under his buttocks. Lu Ye guessed that it was the formation on the disc that took effect.

Just as he thought, the eight pits on the edge of the disc had been filled with eight cocoon-sized crystals by the third brother. These were spiritual stones commonly used by cultivators to set up formations, and they were things Lu Ye had never seen before.

When the third brother activated the disc formation, a faint mist escaped from the spiritual stones embedded in the eight pits. The mist was the spiritual power stored in the spiritual stones, which became pure spiritual energy through the transformation of the formation.

The rich spiritual energy quickly filled the space enclosed by the disc, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier around the disc, and the spiritual energy was bound in the disc.

Lu Ye, who was sitting upright, was moved. Although he closed his eyes, he felt that there were many wonderful things around him. These things were drilling into his body, which made him feel extremely comfortable.

Is this spiritual power?

Lu Ye immediately realized that breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is one of the main means of cultivation for cultivators. Lu Ye had tried it before in the mine cave. Perhaps because of the terrain, he did not feel the existence of spiritual energy in the mine cave, so he could only choose the method of refining essence into gas.

After being taken out of the mine cave by the old man surnamed Tang, he forgot to sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Until this moment, he directly felt the existence of spiritual energy.

However, remembering the previous instructions of the third senior brother, he resisted the temptation and did not breathe it out casually.

Opposite him, the third senior brother pinched a spell in his hand at this moment, constantly urging the power of the formation, while staring at the saplings on the edge of the disc without moving his eyes.

The formation on the disc is specially used to detect the level of talent. When the third senior brother activates the power of the formation, the eight spiritual stones embedded in the disc will release the stored spiritual power and turn into rich spiritual energy.

Through his actions, these spiritual energies will be introduced into the body of the testee, and then flow into the array of the disc, so that the saplings at the edge of the array will undergo some changes.

In short, Lu Ye's body, who is sitting on the disc at this moment, is a transit station. The spiritual energy will be transferred to the array through his body, and then the eight saplings will undergo the necessary changes.

The more saplings that have changed, the higher the aptitude of the testee, and vice versa.

In essence, such a test is to see whether the spiritual energy introduced into the body flows smoothly. The smoother it is, the more suitable it is for cultivation and the higher the talent.

Because the fundamental purpose of a cultivator's cultivation is to strengthen his own spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy does not flow smoothly in his body, what is the point of cultivation?

Next to the disc array, the third brother continued to perform his actions, and the eight saplings remained stable. He frowned slightly and increased the power of the array.

Lu Ye frowned immediately, because he felt a slight tingling in his body, as if a lot of external spiritual energy was drilling into his body, making him feel like he was pricked by countless needles, and as time went on, the pain became more and more obvious.

Until he was about to be unable to bear it, the tingling sensation all over his body suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the voice of the third senior brother came to his ear: "It's OK."

Lu Ye quickly opened his eyes, took a long breath, and met the eyes of the third senior brother, and found that he was looking at him with a very complicated look.

This made his heart jump, and he felt a little bad.

"May I ask, senior brother, what is my talent?" Lu Ye asked.

The third senior brother said nothing, just glanced at the disc, stretched out his hand and flicked Lu Ye's jade card, and handed it back to him.

Lu Ye took it and found that there was an extra word "one" on the back of the jade card engraved with his own zodiac sign.

What does this mean?

Lu Ye wanted to find out what was going on, but the Third Senior Brother obviously didn't want to talk anymore, so he didn't want to argue with him. He stood up from the round plate and bowed to the Third Senior Brother: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

When he turned around and walked out, he saw that one of the eight bare saplings on the round plate had grown a tender leaf...

Does the word "一" on the back mean a sapling? He guessed secretly.

"My friend!" The Third Senior Brother suddenly spoke.

Lu Ye walked to the door and turned around: "What do you want me to do, Senior Brother?"

The Third Senior Brother said: "My friend, just pretend you didn't hear what I told you just now."

Lu Ye:...

Walking out of the tent, taking a few deep breaths, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

Although he was not sure whether his talent was high or low, Lu Ye felt something was not right just by looking at the words and attitude of the third senior brother.

His talent might be... unusual.

He still had to find someone to confirm it.

Lu Ye turned his head and looked around, and suddenly saw a figure standing quietly in a corner, and walked straight over.

Halfway through, the figure also saw Lu Ye and waved with a smile.

When he got closer, Lu Ye called out: "Miss Yu."

Yu Xiaodie bowed: "Brother Lu."

It can be seen that Yu Xiaodie's mood is much better than yesterday.

She has completed the test, and the result is not bad.

Lu Ye picked up the jade card in his hand and handed it over: "Can you help me see what's wrong with my talent?"

Yu Xiaodie took it and said with a smile: "Since Brother Lu can open the spiritual orifice, his talent must be... not bad!"

When she said the last two words, she saw the word "one" on the back of the jade card, and her eyelids couldn't help but jump, and her tone became hesitant.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Ye understood immediately.

His talent seemed to be really disappointing?

"Miss Yu, how is your talent?" Lu Ye asked.

Yu Xiaodie said, "It's about the same as Brother Lu."

Lu Ye waved his hand, "No need to comfort me, I know the general situation. Is it true that the smaller the number, the lower the talent?"

Yu Xiaodie pursed her lips, wanting to comfort Lu Ye, but she didn't know how to start, and finally nodded, "Yes."

"No wonder." Lu Ye thought of the last words of the third senior brother, and secretly thought that the monks were also very realistic.

Yu Xiaodie said, "Brother Lu, don't be discouraged. Today's test is not accurate, and the array used is not advanced, and there are occasional mistakes."

Lu Ye smiled, "Although I don't know what the array is, since the result is out, I can only face it calmly."

Yu Xiaodie looked at him curiously, "Brother Lu, do you really think it doesn't matter?" Lu Ye's carefreeness didn't seem to be pretended. Most people would definitely be a little discouraged if they got such a result.

Lu Ye looked at a place not far away and smiled slightly, "Compared to those people, I am lucky to be able to open my mind."

Following his gaze, there was a large group of people who were lost and lost. They were all people who had no qualifications for cultivation and were eliminated.

The two Liu brothers were among them.
