Chapter 574: Gold-Inlaid Jade Order
A group of rogue monks led by Jin Weishu were killed by Liu Suyi, a disciple of Zhishan Sect, a hundred miles north of Xianyang City. This can be called eliminating violence and protecting the good!
That afternoon, the news spread in Xinglong Lane.
Soon, the whole Beisai Prefecture and even Xianyang City were all over the news.
This was naturally the result of the discussion between Xiao Mian and Liu Suyi - on the one hand, it was really inconvenient for Xiao Mian to be involved in these bloody storms; on the other hand, Liu Suyi returned to Zhishan Sect, but needed this insignificant life to make a name for herself.
The main reason was that Jin Weishu and others were bullies, cheaters, and evildoers in Xinglong Lane. Their death was naturally a great relief!
For a while, the idle monks in Xianyang City who had been persecuted by Jin Weishu and others ran around to tell each other, but they couldn't help but ask suspiciously: Who is this Liu Suyi?
The cultivation world is always cold when people leave. Moreover, after Liu Suyi left Xianyang City, Yu Wushuang also secretly arranged it. Fortunately, Liu Suyi disappeared for only three years. Many people in Xianyang City still remembered this disciple of Zhishan Sect. Therefore, in just a moment, the name of Zhishan Sect Liu Suyi re-entered everyone's vision.
This is Liu Suyi's first move. She wants everyone in Xianyang City to know that Zhishan Sect not only has Yu Wushuang, but also Liu Suyi!
At this time, Xiao Mian was drinking by himself.
The cooperation with Liu Suyi is beneficial to Xiao Mian.
But as an outsider, Xiao Mian naturally could not follow Liu Suyi to the headquarters of Zhishan Sect outside Xianyang City-Tianyu Peak!
After returning to Xianyang City, Xiao Mian came to this wine shop opposite Wang's Recruiting Talents Hall and listened to the discussions of the monks around him about Liu Suyi.
Although the competition between Liu Suyi and Yu Wushuang has changed over time, there are still many old people in Xianyang City. With the introduction of those in the know, Xiao Mian has a better understanding of what happened back then, and only then did he understand how much Liu Suyi hated Yu Wushuang!
It turned out that although Liu Suyi's master was just an ordinary elder in Zhishan Sect, Liu Suyi herself was a natural talent with innate water attribute and spiritual roots. She practiced "Shangshan Ruoshui Jue" and successfully formed a pill at the age of less than 30. Her reputation rose rapidly. Liu Suyi's name even surpassed Yu Wushuang at that time!
If everything was normal, the contemporary goddess of Zhishan Sect should be her Liu Suyi!
However, it was not what people wanted. Liu Suyi was defeated by Yu Wushuang!
It was not because of fighting power, but because of scheming!
This is why there was Yu Wushuang, the contemporary goddess of Zhishan Sect, who was known for her unparalleled wisdom and strategy, and why Liu Suyi was defeated in Hongyun Cave for three years, and why there were today's right and wrong!
In this way, Liu Suyi's mentality of preferring to destroy herself to bring down Yu Wushuang is understandable and reasonable...
Thinking so, Xiao Mian, who had eaten and drunk a lot, paid the spirit stone and walked out of the tavern.
Opposite was the Wang family's Talent Recruitment Hall.
Without even looking at it, Xiao Mian walked towards it with his head held high.
Xiao Mian was at least a mid-level Jindan cultivator. Even in Xianyang City, the majority of cultivators were foundation-building cultivators. Therefore, Xiao Mian's movements were quickly noticed by others. Seeing him walking straight towards the Wang family's Talent Recruitment Hall, everyone pointed and talked.
It would be fine if he was a foundation-building cultivator. After all, for them, Xiao Mian himself was an unsurpassed Jindan strongman; but for Jindan cultivators, it was a bit presumptuous for Xiao Mian, who was only a mid-level Jindan, to break into the Wang family's Talent Recruitment Hall.
You must know that although the Talent Recruitment Hall is good, it is used to recruit talents!
Although there is no explicit rule in the Recruiting Hall of the Four Great Families, there is an unwritten rule in Xianyang City: if the cultivation has not reached the high level of Jindan, it is better not to break into the Recruiting Hall of the Four Great Families easily, because to enter the Recruiting Hall, one must first pass the test, and the four great families use the high-level Jindan cultivators to test the passers-by!
Now seeing Xiao Mian break into the Recruiting Hall of the Wang Family with the cultivation of the middle level of Jindan, they naturally think that Xiao Mian is just a rookie who has just debuted, waiting to see the show!
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, Xiao Mian entered the Recruiting Hall of the Wang Family.
But everyone waited for a long time, and did not see Xiao Mian come out from inside.
It was not until a full cup of tea that everyone suddenly realized: that stinky boy of the middle level of Jindan would not come out again!
Nine out of ten times, that kid has successfully passed the test of the Recruiting Hall of the Wang Family!
Some people were suspicious of Xiao Mian's strength, some were impressed by Xiao Mian's luck, and some people didn't believe it, so they went into battle themselves, followed Xiao Mian's footsteps and entered the Hall of Recruiting Talents - but in just a moment, the man was beaten out of the Hall of Recruiting Talents, fell on his buttocks, and wailed continuously.
At this point, everyone withdrew their eyes from the Hall of Recruiting Talents, and dared not look at it any more.
As for Xiao Mian, with his strength, he tried his hand at a small battle, and fought with the high-level Jindan cultivator in charge of the assessment. The examiner had some vision, and seeing Xiao Mian calm and composed, he knew that this kid might not have used his full strength yet. Whether he saved face for himself or for other reasons, the examiner took the initiative to terminate the assessment.
"You have great skills, fellow Taoist!" After signaling Xiao Mian to stop, the examiner, who was over fifty years old, saluted Xiao Mian with his fists and said, "I am Wang Nuo! I am the manager of the Talent Recruitment Hall here. Since you have passed the assessment, you can enter and leave the Talent Recruitment Hall freely in the future! However... I think you look unfamiliar. You should not be a local cultivator in Xianyang City, right?"
"Recruiting talents, thirsty for talent, do you still need to ask questions?"
"This..., haha! It's Mr. Wang who talks too much!" After making a haha, Wang Nuo remained calm, but secretly resented it in his heart. With a change of thought, Wang Nuo took out a gold-rimmed jade plaque and gave it to Xiao. Mian, at the same time explained: "This is the token for fellow Taoist to enter and exit the recruitment hall in the future, and it is also the magic card to control the formation of the place where fellow Taoist lives. Please keep it. If it is lost, fellow Taoist will need to pass the assessment again." That’s it!”
Xiao Mianhun took the token casually, nodded to Wang Nuo, and then disappeared into the main hall of the Recruitment Hall under the leadership of the handyman disciples.
After a while, a young man appeared next to Wang Nuo.
"Father! That was the last piece of 'Gold Inlaid Jade Order' you had. How could you give it to that boy so easily? That boy was just a mere mid-level golden elixir monk. Not to mention you, father, even I. Can defeat him..."
"shut up!"
Staring at his only son fiercely, Wang Nuo hated the iron.
I think of him, Wang Nuo, who was of the same generation as the current head of the Wang family, Wang Bo. At first, his cultivation was on par with Wang Bo, but in the end, because he was not as noble as Wang Bo, he was gradually alienated from the center of power of the Wang family. , now, he is just the steward of this recruitment hall. In the eyes of the Wang family, he, Wang Nuo, is just a dog!
Wang Nuo is over 400 years old this year. He has been assigned to the Wang family for the rest of his life, but his son must never work for the Wang family like him again!
It's a pity that my son is still a little young after all...
"This kid is so secretive that he is quite extraordinary. Let alone you. Even if you try your best as a father, it's hard to say whether you can defeat him! With the strength he has shown before, he can overpower the high-level Jindan. , it’s normal to win a gold-inlaid jade order!”
"But...but if Mrs. Ru asks further questions..."
"Just tell me the truth!" After a pause, seeing his beloved son Wang Ning looking a little sad, Wang Nuo shook his head and explained: "It's true that the boy got the gold inlaid jade order, but can he keep the gold?" Inlaid Jade Order, that’s all..."
"What does father mean?"
"You can't help but fight in the recruitment hall!"
"I understand! Father, this is..., Jiang is really old and spicy!"
For a moment, Wang Ning gave his father a thumbs up.
Let's talk about Xiao Mian again. He didn't know that he was secretly tricked by Wang Nuo. In fact, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. It was just that when he was led to a large house by the handyman disciple, he was still a small boy. The little one was shocked.
"Reporting to Senior: This is Tianzi Courtyard No. 4 - Cedar Residence!"
"Cedar Residence? This is where I will live in the future?"
"Reporting to senior: Yes!"
"..., are the divisions of the courtyards in the Talent Recruitment Hall based on the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth? How many sets of Tianzi Courtyard are there in total? How many wise men are there in the Recruitment Hall?"
"Reporting to senior: Yes! There are only four sets in Tianziyuan. Counting seniors in the recruitment hall, there are a total of thirty-six sages!" The handyman disciple said this, and Xiao Mian gave him a bulging chest. The bag of belongings was put into his sleeve without leaving any trace. The servant disciple became more respectful and whispered: "Among the thirty-six sages, only the senior is an intermediate-level practitioner of Jindan, and in the recruiting hall, I can't help but Fight!"
"Does a martial arts fight mean the difference between life and death?"
"Reporting to senior: According to the usual practice, it is stopped when the order is clicked, but..."
"I know! Go down!"
"yes!"
The handyman disciple was not sure how to continue to answer Xiao Mian. After hearing this, he naturally felt as if he was receiving a general amnesty. After bowing respectfully, he disappeared in a flash.
After the handyman disciple disappeared, Xiao Mian raised the gold-inlaid jade token in his hand and looked at it carefully. Unconsciously, he laughed out loud - this was a compliment!
They come, the security.
Of the four great aristocratic families of Qin, Lu, Wang, and Ji, Xiao Mian did not choose the other three, but only chose the Wang family's recruitment hall. Naturally, there was a reason. According to Xiao Mian's original prediction, there might be some troubles in the previous assessment. Unexpectedly, the examiner was cunning and threw the last gold inlaid jade order to Xiao Mian, making it clear that this was to use other people in the recruiting hall. More than thirty wise men came to trouble Xiao Mian!
Passing his true essence to the Golden Inlaid Jade Order, a ball of golden light emerged from the Golden Inlaid Jade Order, gradually wrapping Xiao Mian, and then the golden light flashed and disappeared.
It was just that the golden light passed by, leaving a faint cold snort...
