Chapter 34: Opportunities
Nangong Cai Beans was filled with shock.
The harshness of the entrance test is related to the clan's background and rank, Qingteng Sword Academy and White Sheep Cave are actually similar places of cultivation, so the difficulty of the entrance test is also similar.
The "Ten Thousand Threads Leader" at the entrance of the Green Vine Sword Academy is also a similar test to this stone disk, however, even for her, it took half an hour before she finally passed.
It was only a few dozen breaths of time, and if she could really pass it... it would definitely break the records of the White Sheep Cave and the Green Vine Sword Academy.
The rest of the students from White Sheep Cave were all in the same mood as her, which was why there were cries of astonishment.
Su Qin frowned, disbelief welling up in his heart, could it be that this city boy, really possessed amazing talent and that was why he was specially recruited into the academy?
Ding Ning looked at him calmly, it wasn't like he gave this White Sheep Cave second senior brother a chance to say anything before flatly extending his hand and spreading out his palm.
Everyone's gazes gathered on his palm.
Immediately afterward, an even louder sound of retching cold air and exclamations of astonishment rang out.
In the midst of such retching and exclamations, Zhang Yi's pupils also shrunk slightly, and the worry between his brows was instantly turned into surprise.
Nangong Caiyang also completely froze.
Behind Su Qin, the original opposition was the most fierce, since knowing Nangong Cai Beans's life, has not dared to raise her head much Shen Bai, at this moment, her face also became even more snow-white, and her chest rose and fell violently.
Five stone beads lay quietly in Ding Ning's hand.
In the thin gray stream that had just flowed, there did not seem to be any difference between these five stone beads and the rest of the stone beads.
However, at this moment, everyone could see very clearly that within these five stone beads, there was one that was slightly larger, while the remaining four, were smaller.
It is squeezed in his palm that a slightly larger stone bead of the background, everyone can see the other four slightly smaller.
Even if not all five correct, but only need to take the right three, this year rotating water disk test has been qualified.
The previous record for the fastest pass in White Sheep Cave was half an incense stick of time.
Such a performance from Ding Ning sent everyone into deep shock while even making them begin to suspect that Ding Ning had only taken such a wrong one on purpose in order to make it easier for them to see clearly.
Su Qin's face did not change much, yet his heart was also deeply occupied by an intense shock.
His gaze danced violently for a moment.
He then did not make a first comment, but instead reached out his hand lightning fast, and while receiving the five stone beads in Ding Ning's hand, the tips of his fingers gently came into contact with Ding Ning's palm.
In this fraction of a second, Ding Ning clearly felt a faint breath surge in from Su Qin's fingertips and traveled rapidly between the meridians in his body.
He knew what Su Qin's intentions were, so he continued to just remain absolutely calm, as if he hadn't noticed anything.
Su Qin's heart once again sank downward, and the coldness in his heart surged up more and more.
He didn't feel any strange breath.
Not sensing any unusual aura meant that Ding Ning was not a cultivator who already had a certain realm.
"Five against four, you've already passed this level."
He glanced at the five stone beads in his hand and turned it over to the student beside him, signaling the student to put away the stone beads and the Nian Rotation Water Disk, then he nodded at the flesh-colored jade warrior figurine in the other box and slowly said, "This is the perception figurine, perception is a gift, some people even if they are able to achieve absolute meditative inward observance, however, it seems as if they have no connection with the five qi in their body and the heaven and earth yuan qi. Some people, even if they are able to achieve absolute meditation, however, they seem to have no connection with the five qi in their body and the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. Without this kind of talent, it is impossible to become a true cultivator."
"This kind of Jade Terracotta Warrior is made from a unique flesh jade, and the Yuan Qi contained in this kind of jade is somewhat similar to the five qi in our bodies, yet it is a bit easier to touch and perceive."
Su Qin coldly looked at Ding Ning and continued, "The small sword in the hand of this Jade Terracotta Warrior is hollow, so as long as you can perceive the Yuan Qi in the Jade Terracotta Warrior and feel the flow within, you will naturally be able to pour the Yuan Qi within out of the small sword like pouring water out of a vase."
Ding Ning said, "As long as you are able to pour out the Yuan Qi inside, will you be considered qualified?"
Su Qin nodded, "Exactly."
Ding Ning smiled slightly and said, "As long as this is qualified, you can officially enter the mountain gate to cultivate, right?"
Su Qin frowned slightly and nodded again, but did not say anything more.
Ding Ning also said no more as he took half a step forward and held the Jade Soldier figurine in his hands.
Since he had decided on a way to pass in the previous level, he didn't need to consider anything more in this level.
The heaven and earth around him quieted down.
This was too easy for him.
In his perception, the Yuan Qi within the jade warrior figurine was like a river flowing in a cave.
His hands naturally made movements, adjusting the direction in which these rivers flowed, so that they flowed through the twisting cliff walls towards the only exit of the cave, where there was a bright light.
There was a soft snort.
The water spewed out of the cliff face and turned into a waterfall.
And in his hand, the front section of the small sword held by the Jade Soldier figurine, colored Yuan Qi, formed a nice rainbow.
The breaths of everyone near the mountain gate came to a complete halt.
Even Zhang Yi, who already had some confidence in Ding Ning, completely froze, he had thought that there was a possibility that Ding Ning would pass quickly again, however, he hadn't expected it to be this fast in any way.
Nangong Cai Beans, who was beside Ding Ning, also stared blankly at Ding Ning's calm countenance, seemingly wanting to discern a flower out of his face.
......
"I knew there was something unusual about this youngster, but I didn't expect it to be so unusual."
Even the two old men in front of the highest Taoist temple in White Sheep Cave were in unspeakable shock. Du Qingjiao took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Xue Forgetfulness, whose face was like white jade beside him, and said slowly.
Xue Forgetfulness hesitated, "Could it have been practiced before?"
"There won't be a problem." Du Qingjiao shook his head, "I've stayed with him for several hours, if even I don't have the means to sense his abnormality, then unless he's a zongshi like Zhao Si and Bai Shanshui."
Xue Forgetfulness shook his head, he naturally knew that was impossible.
"But there is something very wrong with his body." Du Qingjiao glanced at him and said.
Xue Forgetfulness was stunned and subconsciously asked, "What problem?"
Du Qingjiao said, "It's the body of Yang Hyperactive Early Decay, and the five qi are too strong."
Xue Forgetfulness' hands trembled slightly, "Then this..." originally, he had already made up his mind, yet he was now out of ideas.
"Does it matter?" Du Qingjiao, however, seemed to have seen through all that was in the mind of this Sect Master Brother of his, and said with a hint of arrogance, "Just arrange for him to go into the cave to cultivate together with Zhang Yi and Su Qin."
Xue forgetfulness to his own this senior brother is also extremely understanding, even has also reached a look can detect the other party's inner thoughts of the ground, however at this time he is a bit incomprehensible, "But..."
"His qualifications are worthy of our White Sheep Cave, as for you are afraid of wasting the price spent on him?" Du Qingjiao shook his head with a cold smile, "Even if it's really wasted on him, it's still better than going along with someone else's wishes and having it all fall into someone else's hands by then. As for Su Qin... I know that with your disposition you have never liked him much, and I don't like him either. But his qualifications are really good, and in the past, our master said to us, a person wants to grow faster, there must be some people around you to give you pressure. Su Qin is a very good candidate."
Xue Forgetfulness pondered for a moment and nodded, looking seriously at Du Qingjiao, his eyes began to fill with unspeakable emotion, "Senior brother, although my cultivation realm has been suppressing you all these years, the sharpness that you have at some times has always been beyond my reach."
"But what's the use, in the end, you still can't keep this White Sheep Cave."
Du Qingjiao smiled to himself, the arrogance in his eyes disappeared, and also began to be filled with unspeakable emotion, "I'm going to leave, so I'll work hard for you. But it's good, your nature is more tolerant than me, if you can endure and not fight, you can go longer. The White Sheep Cave is gone, it's good to leave a few seeds."
Xue Forgetfulness looked at Du Qingjiao's eyes, thinking of the storms that this senior brother and himself had gone through in the White Sheep Cave over the years, and thinking of his upcoming journey, for a moment, he was speechless.
"His life is not good, however, meeting us at this time is also considered fate, whatever you can give, give more, it's better than cheaper than that woman." Du Qingjiao, however, turned his head, no longer looking at him, his gaze fell towards the distant mountain gate.
......
In front of the mountain gate, there was a dead silence.
Even Su Qin's face was slightly white.
He and Zhang Yi had been the most outstanding students of the White Sheep Cave for decades, yet even when they were initiated, it had taken them a full half incense burner to perceive the Yuan Qi of this Jade Soldier Terracotta Warrior clearly.
And this Jade Soldier figurine was unique to the White Sheep Cave, and the outside world would never be able to make any practice against it.
However, in front of him and everyone else, Ding Ning was like a miracle, and it only took him a few dozen breaths of time to sense the yuan qi in it, allowing the sword in the hands of the Jade Soldier figurine to shine brightly.
"Senior brothers and sisters, can you receive me in and pay respects to the master?"
In everyone's extreme shock, Ding Ning was smiling calmly, bowing his hands in salute to Su Qin and Zhang Yi and everyone else, saying softly.
Zhang Yi also smiled as he bowed his hand in return, saying gently and seriously, "Senior brother, please."
