Chapter 462
They were originally resting with their eyes closed, but when PEI Ling walked in, they slowly opened their eyes.
The female cultivator pointed at the futon in front of them.”Sit down,” he said.
PEI Ling didn’t understand what he meant, but he still lifted his robe and sat down.
Just as he sat down, the female cultivator reached out and pressed on his shoulder.
In an instant, PEI Ling only felt his bones go soft, as if he had been frozen. He could not even blink!
Then, under his astonished gaze, the older female Xiu’s hands quickly moved along his shoulders and began to carefully feel the bones, all the way to his ankles.
He even touched her from the top of her head once more before nodding slightly and looking at the male cultivator beside him.
The male cultivator took out a Black Pearl. There were illusionary circles on it that overlapped. It looked deep and cold, like the pupils of some kind of demon beast.
Before PEI Ling could react to what had just happened, his gaze was attracted by the Pearl. In an instant, he felt a buzz in his head and his head spun. His pupils instantly dilated, and he instinctively wanted to close his eyes. However, his gaze seemed to be stuck to something and he could not move it at all.
This abnormality only lasted for a short while. The male cultivator quickly put away the bead and said calmly, ” “There’s no problem with the soul either.”
“You’re Wang Gao, right?” The female cultivator nodded and said to PEI Ling, ” there’s no problem with your identity. You can go in and participate in the county examination. &Quot;
So this was the test before the county examination?
PEI Ling panted heavily and resisted the urge to touch faceless blood. He quickly stood up and left.
After he went out, he saw the green-clothed servant who had led the way just now waiting outside. He led him through the courtyard and finally into a large hall.
A large number of tables, chairs, and tea were set up in the hall. In the middle of the hall was a square tripod with four-legged patterns of a Panhu embedded in it. Green smoke was rising and dispersing, and the whole Hall was filled with a fragrance that could help calm one’s mind.
After PEI Ling entered, he swept his gaze around and recognized many familiar faces. They were all alchemists who had traded with him at The Alchemist trade fair.
“Fellow cultivator Wang!” When these people saw PEI Ling, they all came up to greet him. &Quot; long time no see! I wonder how you’ve been?”
“Did fellow Daoist encounter something during the trade fair that prevented you from attending?”
“That’s right, this sun has prepared several pill recipes, but unfortunately, fellow Daoist didn’t go that time. This sun was really worried!”
&Quot; Alright, alright. Don’t you know what time and place we are right now? we’ll talk about the deal later. It’s better not to disturb fellow Daoist Wang. Otherwise, your performance will be affected later. &Quot;
“AI, it’s fine if you and I need to focus, but how can a young talent like fellow cultivator Wang be like us?”
Seeing that most of the alchemists in the hall had come up to strike up a conversation, PEI Ling could only cup his hands at the crowd and explain, ” “I’ve been in closed-door cultivation to refine pills. If not for the reminder from the documents, I’m afraid I would have forgotten about the county examination. Please forgive me.”
“It’s fine,” The alchemists hurriedly said, ” this is common. To be honest, I only remembered about the county examination today because I sensed the movement of the document ... &Quot;
&Quot; that’s right. Alchemists like us are immersed in the Dao of alchemy and forget to eat and sleep. It’s normal for us to do so. &Quot;
“Fellow cultivator Wang’s alchemy Dao must have improved ...”
“I wish fellow Daoist Wang a Swift victory. I wish you a smooth pass in the county examination and an early entry into the capital!”
In the hall, PEI Ling was exchanging pleasantries with the crowd. At this moment, in a study room at the back of the hundred works Yamen, tu he had changed into a fourth-grade Alchemist’s robe. His hair and beard had been carefully trimmed, making him look particularly dignified.
At the moment, he was sitting behind the desk, flipping through a list of names in front of him.
On it were the names, origins, cultivation, performance and so on of all the alchemists who passed the capital examination in the entire Chao Phraya County.
Although after two rounds of selection, there were not many alchemists from each city who could qualify for the county examination. However, the total number of people was still very large.
In order to prevent imposters or other loopholes, these alchemists had to go through an identity check before the county examination began.
Although there were cultivators in charge of this matter, as the chief Examiner of the Mei yang County, tu he still had the habit of looking over the examination personally, recording down the specific situation of each Alchemist so that he could observe them in the process of the examination.
As he was reading, a subordinate rushed in.
“What is it?” tu he raised his head.
“Old tu.” The subordinate cupped his hands and replied,”Wang Gao is here to participate in the county examination.”
Tu he immediately sat up straight. There were many alchemists participating in the county examination this time! However, according to his understanding, of all the selected alchemists in the entire Chao Phraya County, the one with the most brilliant pill refining skills was Wang Gao!
However, tu he had previously suspected that this man had used some kind of youth-retaining technique to maintain his youthful appearance. His actual age was probably about the same as tu he’s.
Therefore, before the start of the county examination, tu he had instructed that they must strictly check the bone age of the other party!
However, when he discovered that the other party had only used ten days to refine the life reversing pill, he was a little uncertain.
Was the other party pretending to be old, or was the dynasty’s destiny flourishing, and a peerless alchemy genius descended from the heavens?
After all, even a fourth grade Alchemist would not be able to form a pill in such a short period of time without coming into contact with the death defying pill, let alone a high grade pill!
If it was any other pill recipe, there was a possibility that the other party had practiced it in private before.
However, it was impossible for him to obtain the death defying pill!
This reward from the sky of freedom was not in the hands of any Alchemist in the entire glazed tile Empire, let alone a rogue cultivator like Wang Gao who had come from outside the country.
Wang Gao, on the other hand, managed to refine a high-grade pill in ten days. It was clear that his speed of understanding the unfamiliar pill recipe was simply unbelievable when compared to tu he’s!
Such a gap was not something that could be resolved by age.
It could only be talent!
In short, now that his subordinate had come to report, there must be a result!
Thinking of this, tu he immediately put down what he was doing and composed himself. He then asked, ” “How is it?”
“Old tu.” The subordinate folded his hands and said, ” the Lords have all agreed that there’s nothing wrong with Wang Gao’s bone age. He’s only just reached the crown. &Quot;
What?
Only a tiara?
Even though he had already prepared himself mentally, tu he was still shocked!
He’s only 20 years old, and he’s already a fifth-grade Alchemist?
The subordinate continued, ” in addition, in order to prevent him from being a high-level cultivator who had taken over the young body, the Lords had secretly tested the compatibility of his soul and body with magic treasures. They found that it was a perfect match. &Quot; Therefore, the possibility of possession has been eliminated.”
There were no problems with his bone age and soul.
Very clearly, this Wang Gao was a peerless genius in the alchemy path!
