Chapter 3, Talent Test
"Boy, don't be too happy too early. Only when you pass the test can you practice in Qingyun Mountain." Elder Luo Yu looked at Lin Potian and said. He was not sure whether Lin Potian could pass the test. All this depends on Lin Potian's own fate.
Hearing this, Lin Potian clenched his fists, and a strong desire to struggle burst out in his eyes, because he really wanted to pass the test and have the opportunity to practice Taoism.
Seeing Lin Potian's performance, the old man in Mai smiled on his face. Then he waved his arm and a white jade bottle appeared in his hand. He threw it to Lin Potian. Then he looked at Lin Potian and said, "There is a most basic Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Pill here. You can take it after you go back. I will take you for a test in three days."
Lin Potian nodded, looked at the old man in Mayi with a hint of respect, and then he slowly withdrew from the Piaoyu Hall. Lin Potian walked out of the Piaoyu Hall, and he was surprised at the landscape of Qingyun Mountain and smelled a fragrance of flowers from afar. The fragrance of flowers reminded Lin Potian of the spices he had purchased for his mother. It was when Lin Potian was thirteen years old. Because of his good performance, he was rewarded with five taels of silver by his head, and then he used the silver to buy Long Yanxiang for his mother.
It was precisely because of the fragrance of flowers at this moment that he evoked Lin Potian's memories that he thought about the source of the fragrance and finally found a sea of flowers. There were many white flowers here. In the center of the white flowers, there was a girl wearing sky blue clothes. She stood coldly in the center of the sea of flowers, like a fairy among flowers, making Lin Potian fascinated.
The woman in blue sensed Lin Potian's existence. She flashed and appeared beside Lin Potian. Then she slapped it out with her palm and knocked Lin Potian to the ground. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Lin Potian's mouth.
Lin Potian looked at the woman in blue with angrily eyes. He didn't understand why the woman in blue attacked him. He thought he had done nothing wrong.
The woman in blue saw the chains on Lin Potian's body, and her eyes showed a strange look, and then said in surprise: "When will Qingyun Mountain also raise slaves?" Then she ignored Lin Potian who fell to the ground, stepped out of the sea of flowers and disappeared in the green grass.
Lin Potian smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. Who else would care about him except himself in this world? He climbed up from the ground with difficulty, then took one step at a time and returned to the thatched hut outside the mountain gate. Because he is not a formal disciple of Qingyun Mountain now, he is not qualified to stay in Qingyun Mountain.
In the thatched hut, Lin Potian slowly opened the white bottle that Elder Luo Yu gave him, and poured out a black black projectile, the size of a grape. This projectile exuded an extremely pungent smell, which made people disgusting. It was the worst quality Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill.
There are several types of Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill, divided into low-quality, medium-quality, top-quality and top-quality. The low-quality Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill is the worst and has the weakest auxiliary effect on the human body. The best Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill is the best and has the strongest auxiliary effect on the human body.
The Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill in Lin Potian's hand is not even a low-quality product, but can only be regarded as a defective product. It can barely help transform the meridians of the human body, but it has certain side effects, which is that it will shorten the life span of a person.
Elder Luo Yu naturally had the high-quality Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill in his hands, but he was unwilling to waste high-quality elixirs on Lin Potian without knowing Lin Potian's specific talent.
In order to pass the test with a higher probability, Lin Potian became a cultivator and gained strength and freedom, he endured the vomiting and swallowed the Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill. After the Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill entered Lin Potian's body, it turned into a stream of energy and ran around in Shaoyu's body, making Lin Potian unbearable pain. Since this Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill is a inferior product, many of its impurities were also deposited in Shaoyu's body, constantly eroding Shaoyu's body.
At this moment, Shaoyu felt as if he had fallen into the Jiuyou Hell, and his whole body was in pain. He wanted to shout, but found that he could not make a sound because his vocal cords had been destroyed by the inferior Yijing Marrow Cleansing Pill, and Lin Potian finally fainted.
Just after Lin Potian fainted, a faint golden light emanated from his body. The golden light formed a golden energy ring and wandered around Lin Potian. After about five minutes, the golden light disappeared. The thatched hut fell into the darkness, extremely quiet, and only the sound of mice wandering were heard.
Three days passed quietly, and Lin Potian woke up from his coma. He endured the discomfort and opened the door of the thatched hut. At this time, Lin Potian saw that his clothes were covered with many mud-like things, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
So Lin Potian walked out of the thatched hut, walked towards a river at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and then took a cool bath in a relatively gentle place, allowing all the stains to disappear without a trace, and he felt refreshed.
That night, Lin Potian slept well in the thatched hut. He looked peaceful and even smiled. This was the first time he had laughed since the massacre, because he dreamed that all his relatives and friends were waving to him and calling him.
The next morning, Lin Potian woke up particularly early. He lay on the simple bed, recalling the beautiful dreams of last night and the appearance of all his relatives and friends. Finally, he sighed helplessly because he knew that those people were dead and were separated from his yin and yang.
Lin Potian pushed open the door of the thatched hut and walked towards the Qingyun Mountain Gate. He saw Wu Jianghe and Huo Wuxin who were on duty. Wu Jianghe showed a friendly smile to Lin Potian, while Huo Wuxin's face was still cold.
Lin Potian smiled at Wu Jianghe, and then he stepped out and began to climb the steps. The chains on his feet made a clanging sound when he was walking. In an hour, Lin Potian finished all the steps, and then followed the path he had walked before to Piaoyu Hall. It was still very early at this time. The disciples of Piaoyu Hall had not even come to work, so Lin Potian stood in front of Piaoyu Hall and waited respectfully.
About an hour later, the gatekeeper disciple appeared in front of Piaoyu Hall and started on duty; two hours later, Elder Luo Yu appeared. He saw Lin Potian standing outside the door waiting, and nodded in approval. Then he entered Piaoyu Hall. After another half an hour passed, Elder Luo Yu walked out of Piaoyu Hall, looked at Lin Potian and said, "Come with me, I will take you to the test now."
On the way, Elder Luo Yu asked meaningfully: "How many hours have you been waiting in front of Piaoyu Hall today?"
Hearing this, Lin Potian said respectfully: "Three and a half hours."
After that, the two of them were speechless. Lin Potian followed Elder Luo Yu and followed his footsteps, the chains that bound his feet kept ringing. Then the two came to a larger palace. The name of this palace was: "Jucai Palace." As the name suggests, it is a palace that gathers talents from all over the world.
When he came to this Jucai Palace, even Elder Luo Yu showed a trace of seriousness on his face, and then he took Lin Potian into the palace. Although the palace was particularly large, there was no too complicated setting inside. Only four huge beads were distributed in four directions of the palace. Under each pillar there was an old man.
"Dear brothers, I brought a child to do the talent test. I hope you will be more compatible!" Elder Luo Yu said in a kind voice.
The four old men who heard this opened their eyes and turned their eyes to Lin Potian behind Elder Luo Yu, then nodded one after another without saying a word.
"Lin Potian, go to the middle of the four holy pillars." Elder Luo Yu said majestic.
Lin Potian, who was behind Elder Luo Yu, heard this and respectfully walked out from Elder Luo Yu, and then stood among the four pillars.
Immediately afterwards, four old men under the pillar waved their fingers, and strange talismans floated from their fingers and merged into the holy pillars in front of each Taoist. The holy pillar emitted a bright light, and countless runes were floating on it. A bright light burst out from each stone pillar and enveloped Lin Potian.
Lin Potian was wrapped in four rays of light, and he felt warm and extremely comfortable all over his body, which made him involuntarily want to close his eyes and sleep. However, Lin Potian understood that this time was definitely not the time to sleep, so he gritted his teeth and carried the sleepiness that invaded his whole body.
"Marriage Task Talent, No!" The old man located under the Eastern Holy Pillar said calmly. He is the controller of the Eastern Holy Pillar and specializes in testing martial arts talent.
"Talent of Formation, None," said calmly by the old man located under the Western Holy Pillar. He is the controller of the Western Holy Pillar and specializes in testing the formation talent.
"The talent of the artifact, nothing," said the old man located under the southern holy pillar calmly. He is the controller of the southern holy pillar and specializes in testing the talent of the artifact.
When Elder Luo Yu said the first elder, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes. After hearing the second elder's words, the disappointment became even stronger. After hearing the third elder's words, he closed his eyes.
"The talent of alchemy is the best." The old man located under the northern holy pillar said calmly. He is the controller of the northern holy pillar and specializes in testing the talent of alchemy.
"Comprehensive talent is unqualified." The four elders said in unison, as if they were pronounced a verdict.
Although Lin Potian's alchemy talent is the best, the Taoist world knows that the alchemy talent is just a useless person and is of no use for cultivation.
Elder Luo Yu sighed when he heard this, then opened his eyes and nodded to the four elders to show friendship. Then he took Lin Potian, who had walked out of the center of the holy pillar, to leave the Jucai Palace.
Elder Luo Yu took Lin Potian to Piaoyu Hall. He sat on the seat, looked at Lin Potian standing respectfully below with complicated eyes, then sighed again, and said, "Your talent test failed, I, Qingyun Mountain, cannot accept you as a disciple."
