Chapter 55: Missing Farce, Final Test in the Field
Yu Que watched Fang Mulian leave with regret in his eyes.
Although he won the first place in the martial arts examination, it was a happy event for him.
But this happy event is actually a bit unceremonious.
Not only was Yu Que able to quickly solve the problem by relying on Fang Mulian's "guidance", but Fang Mulian also had a good relationship with him, and the other party had helped him a lot in the beginning.
Therefore, his eyes changed, becoming increasingly cold and stern, and he thought to himself:
"Zheng Laohei, you really deserve to die!"
At this moment, killing intent was coming in waves in Yu Que's heart.
This murderous intention was caused by his own energy and the essence that had been wasted for more than a month in the other party's ghost shop. It affected the origin. Thanks to the successful visualization early on, he was able to recover.
It was also because of a talent like Fang Mulian that his abilities were hindered by this beast. His energy was exhausted and his path to immortality was shattered. It was really a tragedy for a rabbit to die and for a fox to die!
However, after thinking about it in his heart, Yu Que suppressed all the emotions and stopped thinking about it.
He is still in the middle of the exam, and the last exam has not started yet. It is not worth having someone like Zheng Laohei affect him.
In the examination room, Yu Que raised his eyes and looked at the examiner Lu Tiehua.
With a click, he jumped off the iron stove and walked quickly towards the other party.
When he walked to Lu Tiehua, the man turned back and looked at him in surprise. This person did not expect that someone would actually complete the martial arts refining in such a short period of time.
"Hand it over, I'll take a look at it."
"Yes, examiner." Yu Que greeted him and handed over the gold ingot and chestnut in his hand as promised.
After the examiner Lu Tiehua played with it for a while, she reached out and patted Yu Que on the shoulder with a satisfied look on her face:
“Not bad, good quality.”
While this person was talking, Yu Que felt cold all over his body, as if he was being stripped of his clothes and peeping at him.
He subconsciously used his spiritual consciousness to protect his body from prying eyes.
Two consciousnesses collide.
At this time, the expression on examiner Lu Tiehua's face was even more surprised.
Right now, it was this person who was using his spiritual consciousness to check the remaining bones of his body, but was blocked.
"No wonder it can be refined so quickly. It's incredible at such a young age." The other party muttered, and then withdrew his consciousness.
Now that Yu Que has cultivated his spiritual consciousness, it means that Yu Que knows his body very well and should not be in a situation like Fang Mulian's.
Even if he appears, Yu Que has spiritual consciousness, and no matter how weak his body is, it will be enough for him to pass the examination and enter the county school.
Examiner Lu Tiehua’s face was even more appreciative, and she immediately said:
"You have passed the martial arts test, and I will record your performance tonight. For the rest of the time, just move around on your own."
After saying this, the other party threw the three gold ingot chestnuts back to Yu Que and ignored him.
Yu Que took a long breath and resigned.
As soon as he walked away, the other candidates around him suddenly surrounded him, their eyes were burning, as if they wanted to eat him:
"Brother, please give me some pointers!"
"Brother, take care of my younger brother. When he enters the county school, my younger brother will definitely respect you."
All kinds of flattery came flying over for free, and numerous candidates surrounded Yu Que tightly.
Someone among them shouted:
"Brother! If you are idle, you are idle. Why don't you help me refine three ghost chestnuts, and I will pay you 100,000 yuan!"
This number dropped in the field, which aroused many people's discussion. Some people exclaimed, while others were dismissive.
When Yu Que heard this, he suddenly stopped and his eyes lit up.
When the people around him saw him like this, they immediately rushed forward with even more enthusiasm, and the bidding even started directly on the spot:
"I will pay 110,000 yuan!"
"Damn it, if you can go to the county school, you'll make a lot of money. I'll pay you 150,000!"
However, Yu Que ignored the group of people at all. He saw a surge of gray energy on his body and a cold expression on his face. He walked out of the crowd alone, then picked up a human-headed ghost chestnut and boarded the iron-making blast furnace.
Not long after, the fourth gold ingot chestnut appeared in Yu Que's hand.
He did not sell this treasure to anyone, but kept it in his sleeves.
When accepting it, Yu Que secretly glanced at the examiner Lu Tiehua.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond at all, he seized the time, walked out of the blast furnace, pinched two ghost chestnuts with human heads, and hurriedly refined them.
You know, whether it is according to Qian Huazhen's statement or the hint from examiner Lu Tiehua, this golden ingot chestnut is a good thing!
Since the examiner did not push him aside, but let him move around on his own, Yu Que felt that he might as well refine a few more, and maybe he could gain a lot of advantages in the final assessment.
Even if the test at the last level is useless, the extra treasure chestnuts he brings home afterward will be an extra source of money!
In an instant, fire oil splashed and the iron furnace roared.
In the examination room, Yu Que refined six more pills in one breath.
A total of nine gold ingots and chestnuts were stuffed into his sleeve pockets. They were so heavy that both sleeves hung down. At first glance, they were extremely valuable.
At this time, Yu Que just breathed a sigh of relief. He walked slowly to a corner of the examination room, meditated quietly, and stopped practicing any more.
Refining this thing also requires effort and energy, and nine is already the maximum number that Yu Que can make without affecting his condition.
As for the examination room, the rest of the candidates were continuing to refine the ghost chestnuts in full swing.
After one of them successfully passed the test, during free activities, he coveted the bids of other candidates, and seriously began to refine extra treasure chestnuts and sell them.
Examiner Lu Tiehua still turned a blind eye to such behavior.
Yu Que couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at it a few more times. However, he remained indifferent and had no intention of selling this thing.
Time passes quickly.
One after another, the candidates successfully concocted three ghost chestnuts and passed the test smoothly.
The number of ghost chestnuts in the field is also decreasing.
At the end, the candidates who had not yet succeeded, with pale faces, were fighting over the remaining Rentou Guili, and they fought for a while, causing Lu Tiehua to be repeatedly reprimanded and expelled.
finally.
When the last ghost chestnut in the examination room turned into a plume of burnt smoke, the examinee in front of the iron furnace held two gold ingot chestnuts and suddenly let out a desperate cry of pain:
"No!"
There are only two gold ingots and chestnuts, which cannot meet the conditions for passing the level. The examinee's eyes flashed anxiously, and he immediately looked at the only candidate in the field.
But there was a loud bang, and the examiner Lu Tiehua slammed the iron furnace in the center, banging like a drum, and the other party shouted:
"The martial arts test is over. Those who have passed the test should stand to the east. Those who have not passed the test should put down everything in their hands and leave the field quickly." The overall situation has been decided. Both the candidates who have successfully passed the test and those who have not yet passed the test can feel the lively wailing in the field. It's over.
But then, even more eye-catching things happened.
First, some candidates were holding one or two gold ingots and chestnuts, trying to blend in with the passing crowd. When they were caught, they knelt down, kowtowed, and rolled on the ground.
Again, some candidates were carrying one or two gold ingots and chestnuts. When they were leaving the venue, they were stopped by the yamen and the gold ingots and chestnuts were taken away from their hands.
The candidates who left the venue were suddenly stunned, their faces turned red, and they argued anxiously:
"This is what I practiced, you can't steal it."
But the government officials did not tolerate them at all, and scolded them: "Bah! I told you to put down everything in your hands, but you are a little thief, and you still dare to hide public property!"
Some of the older candidates were even treated humiliatingly.
The officials grabbed their hair, touched their crotches, ordered them to spread their legs, and used iron rulers to dig around the valley road. They really treated the exiting candidates as gold miners, lest they hide the gold. In unimaginable places.
What made Yu Que and others even more stunned was that someone was actually found out. After untying his belt, a gold ingot chestnut popped out.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It is really degrading and not what people in the Immortal School would do.
No one at the scene knew how this person was able to collect this object in a short period of time and how ruthlessly he did it.
It should be noted that a gold ingot chestnut is about the size of an egg even if it is small.
Yu Que also heard Qian Hua Zhen next to him, and he was talking to the people next to him: "If you carry it out like this, will you still have the appetite to refine it?"
When the passing candidates were watching the excitement and gloating about their misfortune, examiner Lu Tiehua suddenly walked up to them.
The other party had a cold face, pointed at the candidates one after another in the crowd, and drank:
"You guys put down your stuff and get out together."
The candidate who was selected was in a daze, felt awkward, and did not move for a long time. Lu Tiehua was impatient and directly reached out to grab the other person and threw them out of the exit one by one.
The sound of crying and making noise suddenly sounded in the venue:
"Why are you driving me away!"
The passing candidates were uneasy and only heard Lu Tiehua shouting:
"Everyone who bought it with money is unqualified and will be punished as cheating. What a shame, do you really think that I am a scarecrow!"
The next moment, the other party looked at the remaining candidates with a sneer and said: "Those who sell ghost chestnuts privately will be punished for assisting in cheating. Your scores will all be lowered by one level as a lesson."
At this time, another group of candidates turned pale.
When Yu Que heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: "It is indeed so."
It should be noted that the county examination is notoriously strict, and it is rare for candidates to be able to help each other and give guidance.
If you are really buying and selling items that have passed the customs, no matter whether it is privately or publicly, it is all lard that has deceived you and is ruining your own fairyland.
This is why even though Yu Que refined nine of them in one go, he didn't sell any of them. If Lu Tiehua wants to ask for it later, he will hand it over honestly.
But what made Yu Que happy was that Lu Tiehua just glanced at his heavy sleeves and didn't say a word. She waved her big hand and led everyone towards the next examination room.
Suddenly, when everyone was leaving, someone among the passing candidates turned around and shouted:
"Luo Laosan, you fucking owe me a hundred thousand dollars, don't even think about defaulting on your debt!"
This man looked gloomy, and when he bought and sold ghost chestnuts, he did not receive any cash, but kept an account.
This scene once again made many people murmur in astonishment.
Suddenly, Qian Huazhen beside Yu Que patted his chest heavily and said happily:
"Fortunately, I saw that they were a bunch of poor people and didn't even have much cash with them, so I didn't bother to earn this bad debt... Otherwise, I would have lost a lot of money!"
This guy is quite wealthy, and he has actually been tempted to sell some gold ingots and chestnuts. It can only be said that this guy is worthy of his surname of "Qian". He is not only willing to spend money, but also takes advantage of money.
Amidst the commotion, the remaining candidates followed Lu Tiehua and walked out of the examination room filled with stoves one by one.
The second level of the county exam, the martial arts exam is officially over!
Less than two hundred people passed the border.
………………
Then, to everyone's surprise, the examination room for the third level was not in the county school.
They boarded a long ghost carriage, which looked like a centipede and was covered with iron armor.
The horses pulling the cart were ten feet tall, spitting green will-o'-the-wisps from their mouths, and had fierce eyes. At first glance, they looked like they were not ordinary horses, but ferocious horses that ate meat and drank wine.
Amidst the clanging sound, the ghostly carriage dragged everyone, braved the cold wind, ran over the stone slabs, and drove in the direction of the rolling cold air.
Everyone was sitting on the carriage, their moods suddenly agitated, and they didn't know where the examination room would be.
Some of them who are smarter have some guesses in their hearts, and their expressions are even more embarrassing:
"Are you... dragging us outside the city?"
"Damn it, this year's exam is the same as the one seven years ago. The batch seven years ago was pretty dead."
For example, Qian Huazhen was sitting next to Yu Que. The flesh on his face trembled, and he was quite nervous.
Qian Huazhen's eyes shrank and he whispered:
"The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court.
Brother Yu, why don't we just stay where we are later? Anyway, after passing the second level, you will most likely be admitted to the county school. ”
Although there are three levels in the Xianjia County exam, not every level must be passed.
Starting from those who have passed the second level, the county school will select the best and admit them, and the number of students varies every year.
There were even several times when there were not enough people to pass the second level, so the county school specially held additional exams and re-selected a group of candidates who were eliminated in the second level.
And those who had passed the second level were naturally admitted no matter how poorly they did in the third level.
Therefore, the cowardly life-saving move mentioned by Qian Huazhen is very feasible. Especially since both of them are members of the alchemist guild and have good scores in martial arts examinations, they are basically guaranteed to enter the county school.
But Yu Que didn't want to do this.
This was not only because he didn't want to lower his evaluation, but also because from the moment he got on the ghost car, someone was staring at him in the corner of the car.
Yu Que suddenly turned around, looked at each other, and grinned.
This person is Fuling!
This guy has also passed the second level. There are rumors in the Fu clan that this guy is quite talented. It seems that it is not all lies and hype.
Fu Lingzheng was delighted that the third test was in the wild. This form was undoubtedly very convenient for him to take revenge!
Seeing that Yu Que dared to look back at him now, the man was slightly startled, and then the murderous intent in his eyes became uncontrollable.
But he didn't know that Yu Que was also happy that the examination room was set in the outdoors.
Even if it was just to settle the cause and effect, Yu Que would definitely participate in this assessment outside the city and show off his skills!
