Chapter 104 Qualification Assessment
The private room on the second floor.
Waiting for half an hour.
Shopkeeper Qu walked in belatedly, took a sip of spiritual tea, sat down and said with a smile, "I said something to Deacon Jindan, which kept Master Shen Fu waiting for a long time."
< br>Shen Ping said hurriedly, "Shopkeeper Qu is so polite, I didn't wait long."
When Shopkeeper Qu was about to ask what was going on, his eyes lit up and he said, "Master Shen Fu's spiritual aura is thick and mellow. Does this mean he has completed his Qi training?"
"Haha, congratulations, congratulations!"
He seemed even happier than Shen Ping.
Shen Ping said helplessly, "Shopkeeper Qu, I'm here just for this matter. I wonder what the specific conditions are for the Talisman Master's special guest examination?"
We have talked with him several times before.
Shopkeeper Qu couldn’t even explain it in detail.
This time he tried to make a second-level mid-grade talisman seal, and found out that there was a problem, so he came over to ask for more information. If it was really impossible to achieve, he could only give up and build a foundation.
After all, he is not young anymore.
Can't delay any longer.
Shopkeeper Qu did not respond, but stood up with enthusiasm and said, "Master Shen Fu, Qu only knows a little bit about the conditions involved in the assessment of special guests. Mr. Qingyang City Zhenbao Tower Only deacons and above can truly understand the stationing point, and you must apply to the deacon for assessment. ”
"Let's go, I'll take you to the deacon."
Shen Ping was startled and couldn't help but said, "Meet Deacon Xia?"
Beyond the guests in Zhenbao Tower is the deacon.
The minimum level of cultivation to become a deacon must be Jin Dan Zhenren.
Yunshanfang time.
Although he has met deacons, elders, and even Yuanying level elders.
But it was just an acquaintance.
When I arrived in Qingyang City, I could only see deacons, first-class and second-class guests when I was notified. Normally, let alone deacons and elders, even second-class guests would rarely see them. Making friends is out of the question.
Now I suddenly have to deal with Zhenren Jindan.
Tell the truth.
He was a little nervous.
Shopkeeper Qu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Deacon Xia is gentle with others. Besides, you are applying for the Special Guest Examination this time. If Deacon Xia knew about it, he would definitely support it with all his strength. This is a good thing for the general station." A big deal.”
See this.
Shen Ping took a deep breath and then followed.
Jindan Zhenren is rarely in Zhenbao Tower.
However, there was something going on in the building today, and Shopkeeper Qu had been delayed in coming because of this.
So Deacon Xia happened to be in the backyard room.
Of course even if he is not here.
Shopkeeper Qu could only take Shen Ping for a few more walks.
The door of the wing.
The aura of golden elixir mana rushed towards his face.
“Deacon Xia.”
“What’s the matter?”
A gentle voice came from the door.
Shopkeeper Qu didn't say anything, but gave Shen Ping a look.
Shen Ping hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hands and raised his voice, "Junior, third-class talisman master guest of Zhenbao Tower, Shen Ping, I came here today to apply for the examination of special guest master..."
The words have not yet finished.
Deacon Xia's figure was already standing at the door. His mana aura was restrained, and his eyes were bright and clear as he glanced at Shen Ping, "I know you, the Talisman Master assessment in Yunshanfang, during the Qi training period. If you can pass, your level of Talisman Dao is pretty good, but do you know what the minimum requirements are for applying for the special examination of Talisman Master?"
The last voice rang in Shen Ping's ears.
Shen Ping's own spiritual power was running rapidly, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He suppressed the restless spiritual power and said slowly and solemnly, "Senior Qu once told me that he needs to make a second-level craft during the Qi training period. Low quality seal script!”
As he spoke, he released a trace of his foundation-building stage consciousness.
Deacon Xia suddenly smiled and said, "Come in."
The two of them walked into the wing one after another.
But shopkeeper Qu still stood respectfully outside the door.
“Sit.”
"Senior Xie Xia!"
Shen Ping sat halfway on the chair, leaning forward slightly with a respectful face.
The person in front of me is Jin Dan Zhenren.
And being able to serve as a deacon here at the headquarters is something that ordinary golden elixirs simply cannot do.
Deacon Xia said in a gentle voice, "Shen Keqing, since you know the minimum requirements for the special examination, and you have the foundation-building consciousness during the Qi training period, you can probably make the second-level low-grade talisman. However, The conditions required to truly pass the assessment are much more stringent.”
Shen Ping handed over his hand, "Please let me know, Senior Xia."
Deacon Xia said bluntly, "Every special guest is the core of our Zhenbao House. Therefore, all applicants will first undergo a qualification assessment and evaluation. You need five Jindan Daoists, three of whom must have the ability of second-level high-grade Talisman Masters."
"After the qualifications are confirmed, the headquarters will send a Nascent Soul Elder to escort you to a location, where, You need to take three assessments. If you pass all three times, you will get the special guest wooden card, but this is only temporary..."
Shen Ping was secretly stunned when he heard that, although he guessed that the special assessment would be very strict. , but I didn’t expect it to be so complicated. The qualification assessment alone requires assessment by the Jindan real person.
At this moment.
He had a vague feeling that this special guest was really not that simple.
"Ke Qing Shen, if you have any doubts, it's okay to just ask."
Deacon Xia said seriously.
The General Station of Zhenbao Tower has been stationed in Qingyang City for so many years. It is not that there have been no special guest applicants, but more than 90% of them have not even passed the qualification assessment. As for the further three assessments, it is even more None succeeded.
Even so.
Every time he met an applicant, Deacon Xia would explain everything in detail.
Shen Ping raised his eyes and asked, "Senior Xia, I wonder what conditions are required for this qualification and the three subsequent assessments, such as the quantity and efficiency of making second-level low-grade talisman seals..."
Deacon Xia shook his head gently, "I have no way of knowing the content of the assessment. I only know that it seems to be different every time."
Shen Ping couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he quickly asked again He said, "Senior Xia, may I ask how long the assessment will last? To be honest with you, this junior is already old. If he is over sixty, he may not be able to build a foundation."
Deacon Xia glanced at Shen Ping.
Almost instantly.
Shen Ping felt a spiritual consciousness coming towards him, his face was calm but his heart was slightly nervous.
“You are indeed not young.”
“But it doesn’t matter.”
“As far as I know, the assessment can last up to two years. If everything goes well, it will only take one A year, or even half a year is enough.”
Deacon Xia smiled and said, "Ke Qing Shen, do you have any questions?"
Shen Ping stood up and bowed, "Everyone knows this. Thank you, Senior Xia, for your patient explanation."
" So do you want to apply for the special guest qualification examination now? "
Hear this.
Shen Ping solemnly said, "Yes!"
Deacon Xia put his hands on his hands and said, "Okay, please go back and wait patiently. I will arrange this matter immediately. When the other evaluators of the golden elixir respond, I will ask Fellow Daoist Qu to send a message to you. It will take a month at most. I will look after you during this period." Prepare with all your strength.”
……
At the entrance of Zhenbao Tower.
Shopkeeper Qu personally delivered it.
"Master Shen Fu."
"The relationship between special guests is very important, and even this qualification assessment must be taken seriously."
"If you can truly pass the qualification, you will benefit a lot."
Hear the message.
Shen Ping cupped his hands and responded, "Senior Xie Qu reminds me."
Back to the small courtyard in Huiquan Lane.
The wives and concubines have not returned from Nancheng yet.
He sat alone in the hall with his eyes closed and thought back to what Deacon Xia had said. A surge of enthusiasm slowly rose in his heart. He had been working hard for ten years, and he had never slacked off or hesitated. Even though I was tired and exhausted, I gritted my teeth and persisted.
Frost, rain and snow.
Sun and wind.
Not for a moment did I shake my heart.
It is precisely because of this that he has such a level of talismans.
And in one month it will be time to refine gold with fire!
Suddenly he opened his eyes.
Shen Ping swung his sleeves and stepped out of the hall into the talisman-making room.
Whether you can jump over the dragon gate or not.
He must be fully prepared.
……
The days passed.
In addition to practicing dual cultivation, Shen Ping spent the rest of his time in the talisman-making room, allowing himself to maintain his proficiency in the talisman and seal script.
One month has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Today is Mao hour.
He first prayed for blessings and meditated, then put on a brand new embroidered plain white robe and stood in the talisman-making room, while his wives and concubines carefully arranged his hair, eyebrows, and cleaned up any flaws on his face, and then He also checked every texture of the robe several times.
The rest of the time.
The wives and concubines stayed with Shen Ping.
Yu Yan stood guard at the entrance of the small courtyard.
They know that today is the most important day for their husbands.
The sky gradually turns white.
The morning dew is fragrant on the tips of the young leaves of the jujube trees in the small courtyard.
When a ray of morning light penetrates the clouds and shines on the small courtyard.
Shen Ping's messenger talisman shook slightly.
Shopkeeper Qu’s voice quickly rang out.
"The qualifications for special guest guests have begun."
"Please invite Master Shen Fu to come to Zhenbao Building for assessment!"
Standing still, Shen Ping took a deep breath.
Step out of the talisman making room.
The wives and concubines followed.
The moment you step out of the small courtyard.
“Husband!”
Wang Yun shouted to Shen Ping.
Look back.
Suddenly he saw Yu Yan, Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, and Luo Qing clenching their hands into fists and waving towards him.
“Come on!”
He added silently in his heart.
Then he walked forward resolutely with a smile.
……
True Treasure House.
In the past, the threshold where many monks came and went was deserted today.
Shopkeeper Qu was standing at the door waiting.
Seeing a familiar figure not far away, he smiled and hurriedly greeted him.
“Senior Qu.”
"How can I trouble you to welcome me in person? I really don't dare do it!"
Shen Ping smiled bitterly.
Shopkeeper Qu shook his head, "Master Shen Fu, you only need to remember one thing today. Pass the assessment seriously and with all your strength. Don't worry about anything else."
Finally, he said Said, "Don't be affected."
"Let's go!"
Shopkeeper Qu led Shen Ping across the threshold.
Wow.
Almost instantly.
A lot of eyes came over.
There is no breath at all, and no spiritual pressure at all.
But Shen Ping felt a heavy pressure like a mountain.
The third class of guests stood on both sides.
Looking at him with a smile.
I followed Shopkeeper Qu all the way, and as soon as I stepped into the backyard, the pressure suddenly increased ten thousand times.
Second-class guest. First class guest.
Even Jindan Zhenren, Deacon Xia, stood at the door of the small courtyard hall.
There was curiosity, smile, doubt, and disdain in their eyes.
All kinds of emotions are superimposed.
Although there is not even a breath or a sound.
But this kind of silence made Shen Ping's every step feel like he was stepping on a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.
Shopkeeper Qu leads the way.
But Shen Ping understood what the other person's words meant before.
Don’t be influenced.
Faced with this silent pressure.
How could he, a Qi Practitioner, not be affected?
"No one."
"They are not human."
Shen Ping kept hinting in his heart. He looked at Shopkeeper Qu and couldn't help but secretly thought that if Mu Jin alright.
Walking to the door of the hall with difficulty.
Deacon Xia said with a smile, "Go in."
Shopkeeper Qu stood aside and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Shen Ping nodded and stepped in.
Unexpectedly, there was a beautiful woman sitting in the hall, with a slight smile on her lips. She was wearing a brown-purple round-neck silver silk brocade robe, and her exquisite and enchanting figure was undoubtedly highlighted.
She stood up and took a few steps, her round outline trembling slightly, "Ke Qing Shen, I am responsible for the qualification assessment of special guest guests. I will be with you throughout the whole process. If you have any questions, you can You can ask.”
"Come with me."
As she spoke, she twisted her waist, and her black hair was even more rounded.
Shen Ping followed slowly.
My eyes fell on the round material and I observed it carefully, and the nervous pressure in my heart quickly melted away.
He smiled with relief.
When we came to the second room on the left side of the hall, the furnishings and layout were almost exactly the same as the last time we conducted the third-class guest evaluation.
The beautiful woman stopped and turned sideways, her charming face seemed to smile a little more.
"Shen Keqing."
"There are three second-level talisman and seal materials on the jade table. You just need to successfully make them."
"This is only the first Step.”
Listen to the beautiful woman.
Shen Ping looked at the jade table.
He is very familiar with these three materials, namely the Armor Spirit Talisman, the Thunder Light Talisman, and the Falling Flame Talisman.
But only three copies.
This means that he must succeed once and for all.
"Senior, is there a time limit?"
"No."
"As long as the production is successful, you can pass this first step."
Shen Ping nodded and left. Go to the jade table.
He closed his eyes for a moment.
Then pray quietly again.
When I mentioned the talisman pen, I immersed myself in making the talisman without hesitation.
On the right side of the hall.
Five Jindan masters sit together in a room.
They looked at the screen with a little surprise. In addition to testing the applicant's level of talismans, the special guest qualification assessment also required some simple tests on the applicant's character.
From the moment you step onto the threshold of the True Treasure Building, the character assessment begins.
Facing second-class and first-class guests who are all higher than oneself in cultivation, the invisible pressure is difficult for ordinary minds to bear. Even tough people will feel pressure and need to adjust their mental state. , but the one in front of me is quite fast.
But no one spoke.
They watched carefully.
The level of character is passed, but the next step of making the talisman is not so easy.
Because no one can guarantee that the talisman seals will be made in one go, and there are only three materials in front of you, even a second-level mid-level talisman master in the foundation building stage may not be able to pass safely.
So this step requires both strength and luck.
Feeling in the best condition.
Then it will be successful.
……
Shen Ping has been making talisman seals for a month. Now when he is outlining the first spiritual pattern, the habit that is so familiar that it is almost engraved in his muscles and blood comes with the talisman pen.
He is focused on everything.
There are only talismans in front of me.
This moment.
He seemed to have come to the scene where the golden light broke through, standing in front of the jade table and making talismans day after day. Regardless of success or failure, all that was left was the talismans.
All the guests in the small courtyard left.
But there were still some people who didn’t leave, so they sat in the side room and drank tea.
“The last qualification assessment was more than two hundred years ago.”
“It’s a pity that the person who got the qualification still failed!”
"Special guest... There are twelve countries including Wei, Jin, Yue, etc., but there has not been one in the past thousand years. It is difficult to get one!"
"Yes, even this qualification is extremely difficult."
Several second-class guests talked to each other.
They immediately looked at Shopkeeper Qu.
Shopkeeper Qu shook his head and smiled, "Fellow Taoists, don't look at me. Qu doesn't know whether Shen Keqing can pass!"
Some people couldn't help but said, "If he passes, Shopkeeper Qu It’s better to establish a good relationship in advance.”
The other guests laughed meaningfully.
Shopkeeper Qu said, "We're just acquaintances. We'll have to wait for a few days to taste tea!"
"I'll just wait until everything is fine."< br>
……
Inside the house.
The beautiful woman standing behind Shen Ping became more and more surprised in her eyes.
She really didn’t expect that the Qi Talisman Master in front of her could enter the state so quickly.
When entering the house first.
She was naturally aware of the different look, even the look was very hot.
That moment.
The beautiful woman knew in her heart that the applicant this time would fail.
But now there are only five spiritual patterns left in the first thunder talisman.
Especially because the opponent’s control over the talisman is extremely strong. His talisman pen never slowed down from the beginning to the end. It is obvious that the applicant has already become proficient in making this thunder talisman.
A moment.
Shen Ping put away his talisman pen.
The complex spiritual pattern circuit of the thunder talisman flashed instantly, and the special talisman paper and blood ink reacted quickly and merged with the spiritual pattern.
The first one was successful!
“Congratulations!”
When Shen Ping took the elixir.
The beautiful woman said with a smile.
"Thank you."
Shen Ping closed his eyes and replied.
And the room on the right.
After seeing the first thunder talisman successfully written.
There was finally a sound in the room.
"Not bad."
"Not bad."
"Not bad."
It soon became quiet again.
After Shen Ping completely recovered his spiritual power and spirit, he did not rush to write. Instead, he stood up and walked around the room.
The beautiful woman smiled, secretly thinking that she was still nervous, but she soon noticed that the qi talisman practitioner's peripheral vision glanced at her brown-purple dress again, especially lingering on the round outline for several more times.
She felt both funny and speechless in her heart.
Just when he was about to speak to remind him to focus, the peripheral vision moved away.
Soon.
Shen Ping came to the jade table again and worked hard to make talismans.
For the second material, he chose the Armor Spirit Talisman.
Although it has been made many times.
The difficulty of the Kejia Spirit Talisman is much higher than that of the Thunder Light Talisman, and the probability of failure is not low.
However, Shen Ping, who was not under any pressure, waved the talisman pen with a relaxed expression and quickly sketched the spiritual pattern on the talisman paper.
Time passes quietly.
The second Armor Talisman was successfully produced in one go!
Inside the house on the right.
The five golden elixir masters showed a look of surprise one after another.
The armor spirit talisman is completed in one go.
It’s so valuable!
"Very good!"
"Pretty good."
"The xinxing is okay."
"It seems that this first step is no problem!"
< br>"Indeed."
There were two more voices in the room than the first time.
Then it was quiet again.
……
In the small courtyard wing.
The waiting guests were still patient, and their faces even showed expectation.
Because the longer the time, the closer the person who is being assessed is to success.
But they didn’t reveal anything.
It’s still early after all.
......
The third copy of the Falling Flame Talisman is easier.
Although Shen Ping did not complete it in one go like the Armor Spirit Talisman again, the time it took was nearly half less than the Thunder Light Talisman.
When the spirit pattern flashes and hides on the talisman paper.
The voice of the beautiful woman rang out, "Congratulations, congratulations to Shen Keqing for passing the first step!"
Shen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saluted solemnly, "Thank you, senior!"
The beautiful woman was stunned, and reminded with a dumb smile: "Shen Keqing, don't worry, restore your spiritual power first, the second step is more difficult."
Shen Ping nodded, quickly took the elixir, closed his eyes and meditated.
Three days have passed this time.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful woman, "Senior, the second step can begin!"
The beautiful woman's face showed a charming smile, and she waved her palm gently.
The jade table in the house disappeared.
Then another jade table was displayed.
"Shen Keqing."
"The second step requires you to make a special talisman."
"It doesn't matter how many times you fail this time, just Just succeed in the end.”
……
Finally got on board! ! The two become one and cannot be separated.
