Chapter 158 Foundation Testing (Subscription Request)

Xuanyuan Taoist Temple, Yunxiao Square.

The entire square is paved with fine glazed jade and is extremely luxurious.

There are eight jade pillars standing tall in the center of the square.

From right to left on the jade pillars, there are suspended on them a simple pill furnace, array disk, jade sword and runes.

Each represents the four main techniques of elixir, formation, weapon, and talisman.

The other four jade pillars are engraved with several ancient characters of immortal inscriptions.

"At the beginning of Xuan Yuan, seek the way and ask the sky."

This was the Taoist teaching set by the four top technical masters when Xuanyuan Taoist Academy was established.

Used to encourage the disciples of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

It means that the disciples of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy are all the pillars of the Taoist League. They must have a mind of inquiry and at the same time bear the responsibility of revitalizing the Taoist League.

The people sitting in the square of the Taoist Academy at this moment are all the disciples from the outer academy who were admitted this year. They are all dressed in the Taoist Academy's mysterious robes and are full of energy.

Most of these people have already stepped into the upper echelons of the Dao Alliance.

Rows of futons were placed, and the disciples sat on the futons in small groups, each talking quietly.

It's time.

The ancient bell rang.

On the jade platform, a handsome-looking middle-aged man stood.

He is Zhong Yuan, the dean of the branch of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

Behind him, four monks with strong auras stood, their expressions were solemn.

In the third row are Professor Hu and many other teachers.

"Congratulations to all of you for becoming outer disciples of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy!"

Zhong Yuan had a smile on his face and a melodious tone that made people feel like they were having a spring breeze.

Then, as usual, he gave some words of encouragement to his disciples.

The words were blessed by divine consciousness, which cheered up the spirits of the disciples present.

After the lecture, representatives of Taoist teachings and Taoist disciples spoke.

"My name is Liu Yu, and I am the representative of the newly recruited disciples of the Taoist Academy!"

"At the ninth level of Qi training, I am currently a second-grade inscription master, a second-grade rune master, and a first-grade alchemist!"

At this time, an elegant and delicate young man stood on the jade platform.

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples sitting below screamed in surprise.

Everyone present majored in techniques, but most majored in one.

After all, the inheritance of any kind of technique is extremely complex and mysterious, and it is already difficult to master it.

It takes a lot of effort.

Of course, there are also some extremely talented people who can practice two techniques at the same time, which is already quite amazing.

And it is often one of the four main techniques, with an additional minor technique, such as beast control, puppetry, etc.

But this person is so amazing. Not only does he major in inscriptions, but he also specializes in runes and alchemy. He is actually already two second-grade masters and one first-rank master.

Such a terrifying talent is shocking.

Zhou Ling was also shocked. His level of inscription cultivation was already extremely outstanding in Lingxia Fairy City.

But he just passed the first-grade assessment.

But the young man on the jade platform seems to be not much different in age from him, but he is already a being that many people look up to.

"Liu Yu is a direct descendant of the Liu family of the Nascent Soul family in Qingyun City, and his ancestors also had god-transforming monks."

"I have been practicing in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy since I was a child."

"No wonder it's so terrifying. There are resources and there are skills."

"And it is said that this person has been able to build the foundation, but he just wants to pursue the heavenly grade to build the foundation, so he will continue to practice in the outer courtyard!"

The students around him began to whisper.

After hearing these words, Zhou Ling understood.

This kind of family background is naturally not something they can compare with.

Even He Zijian, Jin Sheng and others were eclipsed in front of this child.

"Hehe, Liu Yu is not the most terrifying. I heard that Ye Zhilan is the most powerful in this session."

"It is said that she has a body of fire spirit. She was originally admitted to Tianxia Taoist Academy, but Xuanyuan Taoist Academy has a technique that is more suitable for her physique."

"That's why she chose Xuanyuan Taoist Academy."

"I think the most powerful disciple among this generation is Plateau from our Jinyun Immortal City. He is also already a second-grade alchemist, and has already condensed a second-grade spiritual flame."

"This level of alchemy is definitely no less than that of Liu Yu."

"You all should stop arguing. Here is an introduction to the latest ranking of new Taoist disciples. You can purchase it if you need it."

"Ten low-grade spiritual stones will be collected for each portion."

"Brother, you are from that Taoist house, and you get ten low-grade spiritual stones for one share. This is too much!"

"Whether you want to buy it or not, just go and cool down!"

"You think I'm stupid? This kind of ranking will be announced by the Taoist Academy in a few days. Why should I buy it from you? And I don't know if it's reliable!"

"Go! Go!"

······．

"Brother, are you interested in getting one? Now I only have the last two copies on hand. If you miss it, you won't have it!"

Zhou Ling listened to the discussions around him and felt that he was also Alexander.

It seems that it is more difficult than he expected to become the foundation-building seed of the Taoist Academy.

At this time, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came over and spoke to Zhou Ling enthusiastically.

"piece!"

Zhou Ling thought for a while and said.

There are still about ten days until the Foundation Establishment Seed Assessment, so it would be good to get to know the situation of other disciples.

Of course, the key to the assessment is your own strength.

"Brother, please stop joking. This is inside information that I got through a lot of effort and through the help of big shots."

The young man with thick eyebrows glared at Zhou Ling, and his tone sounded like Zhou Ling was ignorant.

"Two pieces!"

Zhou Ling glanced at him.

"no!"

The young man glared at Zhou Ling again and shook his head.

But seeing Zhou Ling stop talking, he thought for a while and said, "Five yuan at least!"

Zhou Ling took out the spirit stone bag from his arms and took out two low-grade spirit stones, "Two pieces is a deal!"

"Hey, we are all new disciples. I, Sun Dajie, just want to make friends and make a deal for two low-grade spiritual stones!"

The young man took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhou Ling, saying with a pained expression on his face.

Only then did Zhou Ling hand him two spiritual stones.

Take the jade slip.

"Brother, you are from that school, and I am from the Puppet School. I am familiar with the affairs of Qingyun Immortal City and Taoist Academy. If you need to know any news or buy something, you can come to me!"

Putting the spirit stone into the spirit stone bag, the young man said to Zhou Ling with a happy face.

"Zhou Ling, School A-3!"

Zhou Ling nodded and said.

This young man is eloquent, and once you get to know him, you won't suffer.

"Brother Zhou, if you don't understand anything from now on, just ask me!"

The young man gave a few words of advice and continued to sell the jade slips to others.

The Taoist Academy's opening ceremony to welcome new disciples is also coming to an end.

As the dean announced the end, Zhou Ling and Wang Xin were about to leave the square.

Suddenly, the sound transmission jade on his body vibrated slightly.

Zhou Ling immediately took out the sound transmission jade and injected a slight amount of spiritual power into it.

"Hello, Junior Brother Zhou, I am Senior Sister Qi, because you are a Foundation Establishment Seed disciple."

"Before the start of the Taoist Academy, we will provide you with a test to check the probability of foundation building based on your current practice."

"If the probability is too low, you can choose to practice the method again."

"The Taoist Academy will provide you with a choice for this new technique."

"Go to Chunyang Palace now!"

After hearing the message, Zhou Ling immediately responded via message, "Okay!"

Zhou Ling asked Wang Xin to go back to the dormitory first, and then he asked around and found out that Chunyang Hall was in the center of the Taoist temple, about a few miles away from the square, and then walked towards the main hall.

Soon, he arrived at Chunyang Hall halfway up the mountain.

Although Chunyang Hall is called a palace, it looks like a seven-story tower.

With [Intermediate Observation], Zhou Ling quickly discovered that this was a high-level treasure.

When Zhou Ling arrived at the entrance of the hall, an assistant came to greet him.

After Zhou Ling took out the foundation-building seed jade tablet, the assistant inspected it and introduced it into the main hall.

Zhou Ling soon followed the assistant to a pavilion, which was open and bright.

Rows of neat futons were placed on the tidy ground.

There is a simple copper stove in the middle, with green smoke curling up.

Standing on the jade platform is a gentle and elegant middle-aged man, wearing a mysterious robe and smiling.

"Disciple Zhou Ling pays homage to your teacher!"

Zhou Ling saluted the man with his hands raised!

The man nodded slightly, pointed at the futon and said with a smile, "Go and sit down over there. When everyone is here, we will announce it together!"

"yes!"

Zhou Ling replied respectfully.

At this time, there were already five disciples sitting in the pavilion.

Zhou Ling found a futon and sat down slightly near the corner.

Afterwards, assistants were seen arriving one after another leading other disciples.

Zhou Ling frowned as he looked at it.

According to what Senior Sister Qi said.

These arriving disciples are undoubtedly the contestants competing for foundation building seeds this time.

All of them have strong auras, and they are basically at the ninth level of Qi training, and there are only three or four people who are at the eighth level of Qi training.

As for the seventh level of Qi training, he is the only one.

After these disciples came in, they bowed and saluted with the middle-aged teacher, and then each chose a futon to sit down, full of energy.

Among them, Zhou Ling also saw Liu Yu, the young man who was on the jade platform just now and was so famous.

As the last young man arrived, the middle-aged man glanced at everyone, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Disciples, my name is Zhang Yi, I am the Taoist Supervisor of the Taoist Academy, and I will be responsible for your foundation building test this time."

"Meet the Taoist Supervisor!"

The young men stood up together again and saluted with their hands in hand.

Zhang Yi stopped and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Then he smiled and said, "I'm calling you here this time. I believe you all know the reason."

"Now, let me say it again, the main thing is to prepare for your foundation building."

"I guess you all know that to be able to enter the Sixth Avenue Courtyard, the basic foundation needs to be more than 70%."

"But if it can become a foundation-building seed, foundation-building is basically a certainty."

"It's just a matter of time."

"And according to the current regulations of the Taoist Academy, as long as you can successfully achieve foundation building in the six years of training as an outer disciple, you can become an inner disciple of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy."

"Being able to build the foundation one year in advance will be a great advantage for your future cultivation."

"Of course, foundation building also has different qualities. There is a huge difference between ordinary foundation building and heavenly grade foundation building."

"So, this foundation building test is also extremely important to you."

"If you are a disciple who has not reached the ground level foundation building level, I suggest you change your technique as soon as possible!"

"And since you entered the Taoist Academy as foundation-building seeds, the Taoist Academy will naturally provide you with maximum support."

After Zhang Yi slowly introduced the situation of this foundation building test, he took out a simple jade mirror from the storage ring.

The jade mirror shines with crystal clear light and has simple inscriptions engraved on its surface.

"This is Xuanyuan Illusion! A fourth-order high-grade treasure."

"It can detect the techniques you are practicing now, what kind of auxiliary spiritual objects you choose, and the probability of achieving foundation building!"

"Sit down, I will control the ancient mirror, scan it over you, and soon, I will be able to condense different color conditions!"

"There are four types in total. Gold represents heavenly foundation, purple represents earthly foundation, red represents mysterious foundation, and white represents the inability to build a foundation."

"As for the specific information that emerges, only you can feel it. You can make corresponding adjustments for the next practice based on this information."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he signaled everyone to get ready.

The disciples were all excited after hearing this, and they all wanted to know what kind of foundation they would build.

Of course, coming to Xuanyuan Daoyuan, they also hope to practice higher-level exercises.

Then Zhang Yi recited the spell, and the light flashed on the ancient mirror. A sapphire light flew out and instantly enveloped the boy sitting in the front row.

The boy closed his eyes and looked a little nervous.

After a while, a strong red light shone on the ancient mirror.

The boy also opened his eyes and looked at the red light on the ancient mirror, with a bit of disappointment on his face.

Zhang Yi continued to control the ancient mirror to sweep another boy.

Red!

Red!

Until the fourth one, purple appeared, but this purple looked a little thin.

But the boy still looked happy.

With this foundation, plus the cultivation of the next few Taoist temples, he has a high probability of being able to build a foundation at the earth level.

If he can build a foundation at the earth level, he will have a great chance to enter the golden elixir or even the Nascent Soul in the future.

And the next four are three red and one purple.

Soon, it was Zhou Ling's turn.

Zhou Ling was a little worried. He is now a low-grade spiritual root, and he is practicing the "Five Elements Qianyang True Art", and the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body has not yet condensed.

The success rate of this foundation building is definitely not high.

I don't know what the test will be like?

As Zhang Yi recited the spell, a green light quickly enveloped him.

Zhou Ling found that he seemed to have entered an extremely mysterious state.

The cultivation in his body seemed to surge in an instant.

The spiritual power circulating in the five elements meridians suddenly overflowed.

The next moment, he could feel it clearly.

The sea of ​​qi in his body expanded rapidly, forming a spiritual power cyclone.

Even in his own sea of ​​consciousness, a vague outline appeared.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling felt as if five flames appeared in the circulation of his five meridians.

Condensed into a five-element circle diagram, it quickly circulated in his body.

But the next moment, there was a puff.

The scene in front of Zhou Ling collapsed, and he opened his eyes, only to see a faint white light flashing on the ancient mirror.

"I can't build a foundation!"

Zhou Ling was helpless and shook his head with a wry smile.

Others, looking at this situation, were also a little surprised.

After all, being able to become a foundation-building seed is almost 100% able to build a foundation.

"Five-element low-grade spiritual roots! Qi training level seven!"

Zhang Yi was also slightly surprised when he saw Zhou Ling's situation.

Then his eyes swept over Zhou Ling's information, and he was stunned again. With this cultivation and qualifications, how did he get a foundation-building seed quota?

He shook his head slightly, this was a pure waste of a foundation-building seed quota!

In the next door's Jingshe, there were a dozen Taoist teachers sitting.

A light curtain in front of them was showing the test results of Zhou Ling and others.

Seeing this, Instructor Hu was helpless.

He was also surprised. Did he make a mistake?

Based on Zhou Ling's performance in the test, he would definitely not fail to build a foundation!

Others also looked at Instructor Hu, and many of them were gloating.

After all, there is also performance assessment in the teaching room.

Especially this kind of foundation-building seed quota is closely related to performance assessment.

In the pavilion, the test continued.

The dozen or so disciples behind were able to successfully build a foundation.

The purple light of three disciples was extremely strong. Obviously, they were the best in the ground-grade foundation-building.

Among the twenty-four people, only Zhou Ling had white light.
