I just want to be a quiet man

"After all, the strength of the demon cultivators of the four major demon sects is no small matter."

"Even if you are in the imperial dynasty, if you don't dare to make a big commotion, you will be in danger after all... These days, the county capital is also sending people to persuade you."

Once again hinting at Master Wang Gao from the side, the dynasty is not a sea of ​​thousands of birds, and the ordinary monks under its rule have no fear of the four major demon sects, and even regard them as mobile rewards. Except, the county will not relax its vigilance for a day!"

Hearing this, Pei Ling's heart sank.

Right now unless Zhou Miaoli is punished, he will not be able to leave the city!

But Zhou Miaoli already knew his identity, and once it was revealed, with the friendship of Chong Mingzong, he would not forget to pull him into the water.

At that time, he will also die!

Wait, there is another way out of town...

That is to pass the county examination, and then go to the imperial capital for the imperial examination!

During the alchemy ceremony, no matter how heavily guarded Liugai Dynasty was, it was impossible to prevent alchemists from continuing to participate in the ceremony.

Thinking of this, Pei Ling sighed inwardly. After walking around for a long time, he returned to the original point again...

After the two chatted for a few more words, Shi Wanli left behind the alchemy furnace and left.

Pei Ling was the only one left in the cave. He was looking at the golden jade lion, camel and mandarin duck vase furnace in front of him, and was about to host a furnace to try the effect of this new alchemy furnace, but the sound transmission talisman started to move.

He took it out and saw that it was Zhou Miaoli. After urging it, Zhou Miaoli's voice came immediately: "The government test has begun, and the topic is refining Zhuyan Pill."

"It is required that within ten furnaces, at least one pill should be top grade."

"Questions?"

Pei Ling's face was gloomy, but due to his strength, he could only say in a low voice, "No problem."

Zhou Miaoli was very satisfied: "Okay! Then I will go to the government test right away. It's the same as last time. After half an hour, I will start refining Zhuyan Pill."

"Smelting ten furnaces in a row."

After finishing speaking, he simply cut off the call.

Half an hour later, Pei Ling managed the alchemy as agreed.

Soon, the refining of the ten furnaces of Zhuyan Pill was completed, and the process went very smoothly without any accidents.

And the new alchemy furnace is indeed more convenient than the previous one.

Even the real essence needed for refining has been reduced by a small amount.

After helping Zhou Miaoli to pass the test by cheating, Pei Ling began to practice.

After the government examination, there will be the county examination. If you want to leave the county, you can only pass the county examination...

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

Inside the cave, the training room.

The spiritual power gathered in the spirit-gathering array like a tide, and the fiery breath surged. After a long time, all the breath and spiritual power were swallowed up by Pei Ling.

He slowly opened his eyes, the blue light in his eyes flashed away, and the aura around him seemed to have improved again.

It seemed that the seeds that were about to germinate were just about to move, but after all, something was missing. After a moment of surging, it returned to calm.

Just when Pei Ling was about to continue to take care of the practice, there was a strange fluctuation in the jade documents in the storage bag.

He took out the document, and saw a line of elegant cloud seals immediately appeared on the jade: The county examination begins, within three days, go to the Baigong Yamen in the county city for assessment, no waiting after the expiration date.

The next moment, Zhou Miaoli's sound transmission symbol lit up.

Pei Ling took out the sound-transmitting talisman and urged it, and Zhou Miaoli's voice came out: "The county test has begun, and you can go to the assessment within three days. You and I must not be in the same field, otherwise our alchemy techniques will be exactly the same, and we will start and end at the same time. It will definitely be noticed by the examiner."

Hearing this, Pei Ling immediately said: "I don't know what the exam questions are yet, so I'll go take the exam first, and you can go after I pass."

Zhou Miaoli said briefly: "Yes."

Before the words fell, the sound transmission talisman dimmed.

Pei Ling immediately got up and cleaned up, and was about to go out, but immediately thought that he was currently a casual cultivator being targeted by the Demon Dao, and if he was not vigilant enough to go in and out, he might arouse suspicion.

To be cautious, he immediately took out Shi Wanli's sound transmission talisman, and after urging it, he said directly: "Lord Shi, I'm going to take part in the county test. Can you come and escort me?"

"Master Wang, wait a moment, come over immediately!" Shi Wanli agreed without any hesitation.

It didn't take long before he arrived at the entrance of Pei Ling's cave. After confirming his identity, Pei Ling walked out of the cave.

Shi Wanli accompanied Pei Ling to the Baigong Yamen in the county city, and comforted him: "Master Wang, after taking the county test, you can go to the imperial capital immediately. At that time, you don't have to worry about the magic cultivator."

Pei Ling said noncommittally: "Lord Shi, I have troubled you this time."

"Master's words are serious." Shi Wanli said hastily, "This is a matter of my duty."

The Baigong Yamen in the county city is not far from the county capital, and Dongfu is adjacent to the county capital. With the footsteps of the two of them, there is no need to speed up deliberately, and they will arrive soon.

After the audition and government examination, the number of alchemists who can enter the county examination has decreased a lot.

However, during the county examination, only alchemists with admission certificates are still allowed to enter Baigong Ya.

So, just like before, Shi Wanli waited outside, and Pei Ling went in alone after showing the documents.

The last time Pei Ling came to sign up, the Baigong Yamen in the county city had five steps, one post and ten steps and one sentry, which can be said to be heavily guarded.

But now that the county examination has started, looking around, the original sentry post has disappeared.

But it wasn't because Baigong Ya had let down his vigilance. Pei Ling felt at least dozens of divine thoughts sweeping across his body from the moment he stepped on the threshold to the first hanging flower gate!

The current guards have not decreased but increased, and their strength is stronger than the previous guards!

Beside the Chuihua Gate, there are servants in green clothes arranged by Baigong Yamen, who are responsible for leading alchemists.

Soon, Pei Ling was brought into a wing.

The furnishing of the wing room is very simple. On the facing futon, there are two monks sitting cross-legged, the man on the left and the woman on the right. They both look quite old, and their breath is deep, like an abyss like the sea.

Chapter 192: Touch the bone, test the soul.

They were resting with their eyes closed at first, and they opened their eyes slowly when Pei Ling walked in.

The nun pointed to the futon in front of her: "Sit down."

Pei Ling didn't understand what he meant, but she sat down cross-legged with her robe lifted as she said.

As soon as he sat down firmly, the nun stretched out her hand and pressed his shoulder.

For a moment, Pei Ling felt his muscles and bones were weak, as if he had been frozen, and he couldn't even blink!

Then, under his surprised gaze, the elderly nun quickly moved her hands along his shoulders, and began to carefully feel the bones, all the way to his ankles.

He even touched his head again worriedly, then nodded slightly, and looked at the male cultivator beside him.

The male cultivator took out a pitch-black bead, with illusory circle patterns on it, overlapping layers, looking deep and indifferent, like the pupils of some kind of monster.

Before Pei Ling realized what happened just now, his gaze was attracted by this bead. For a moment, he felt a "buzz" in his head, dizzy, and his pupils dilated instantly. He instinctively wanted to close his eyes, but his gaze It seemed to be stuck, unable to move at all.

This abnormality only lasted for a short moment, and the male cultivator quickly took back the bead and said calmly, "The soul is fine."

"Wang Gao, right?" The female cultivator nodded and said to Pei Ling, "Your identity is fine, you can go in and take the county test."

So this is a test before the county test?

Pei Ling took a few breaths violently, resisting the urge to reach out to touch [Bloodless Face], and quickly got up and left.

After going out, he saw the servant in green clothes who had just led the way waiting outside, leading him through the courtyard and courtyard, and finally entered a large hall.

In this wide hall, there are a lot of tables, chairs and refreshments. In the middle, a four-legged panchi pattern is embedded in the treasure square tripod. Green smoke curls up and diffuses, which helps to fill the whole hall with a calming aroma.

After Pei Ling entered, he swept his eyes and recognized many acquaintances, all alchemists who had traded with him at the Alchemy Fair.

"Wang Daoyou!" Seeing Pei Ling, these people came up to say hello, "It's been a long time! I wonder how you are doing recently?"

"The last trade fair, fellow daoist, did you encounter something and didn't have time to participate?"

"Yes, Mr. Sun has prepared several prescriptions, but it's a pity that the fellow Taoist didn't go there that time. It really made Mr. Sun very anxious!"

"Okay, okay, don't look at what time and place it is now, let's talk about the transaction later, and don't bother Wang Daoyou, so as not to affect his performance later in the game."

"Hey, it's okay if you and I need to concentrate and calm down at this moment. How can young talents like Wang Daoyou be the same as you and me?"

Seeing that most of the alchemists in the hall came up to talk, Pei Ling had no choice but to bow his hands to everyone, and explained: "I have been doing alchemy in seclusion recently, if it wasn't for the reminder from the paperwork, I'm afraid I might have forgotten the county test, please forgive me. "

"It doesn't matter." Many alchemists said quickly, "This is a common thing. I don't want to hide it from you, Wang Daoyou. I also sensed the movement of the document today, so I remembered the county test..."

"That's right, it's common for me to wait for the alchemist to immerse myself in the way of alchemy, forgetting to eat and sleep."

"Presumably Wang Daoyou's alchemy has improved..."

"I'm here to wish you Wang Daoyou a successful flag opening, a smooth pass in the county test, and an early entry into the imperial capital!"

In the wide hall, Pei Ling was exchanging warm greetings with everyone, but at this moment, in a study room at the back of Baigongya, Tu He changed into the robes of a fourth-rank alchemist, and his hair and beard were carefully trimmed , looked extraordinarily majestic.

Right now, after sitting on the desk, he is flipping through a list in front of him.

It records the names, origins, cultivation bases, performances in the assessment, and so on of all the alchemists who passed the government examination in Meiyang County.

Although after two rounds of screening, there were not many alchemists in each city who could obtain the qualifications of the county examination, but when they were all added up, the number of alchemists was very large.

In order to prevent impersonation, or some other behaviors that exploit loopholes, these alchemists have to go through another identity check before the start of the county test.

Although there is a special monk responsible for this matter, as the chief examiner of Meiyang County, Tu He still habitually goes through it himself, and writes down the specific situation of each alchemist, so that he can make targeted observations during the assessment process .

Just as he was flipping through, a subordinate hurried in.

Tu He raised his head: "What's the matter?"

"Tu Lao." The subordinate answered with cupped hands, "Wang Gao came to participate in the county examination."

Tu He immediately sat upright. There are quite a few alchemists participating in the county test this time!But as far as he knows, so far, in the entire Meiyang County, among all the selected alchemists, Wang Gao is the most skilled in alchemy!

It's just that Tu He suspected before that this person used some kind of face-retaining technique to maintain the vitality of his face as a teenager, and his actual age may be almost the same as him.

Therefore, before the start of the county test, Tu He had ordered that the other party's bone age must be strictly checked!

But after discovering that the other party only took ten days to refine the Death Rebellion Pill, he was a little uncertain.

Is the other party faking his age, or is the dynasty's luck flourishing, a peerless genius descended from the sky?

After all, even if it is a fourth-rank alchemist, it is impossible for him to become a pill in such a short period of time, let alone a top-rank pill, if he has never been in contact with the pill!

If it is other pill formulas, there may also be situations where the other party has practiced in private beforehand.

But it's absolutely impossible to use the life-defying pill!

This reward from "Xiao Zi Zai Tian", not to mention Wang Gao, a casual cultivator from abroad, even the entire Liugai Dynasty, except for Tu He himself, has no alchemist in his hands.

And Wang Gao became a high-grade alchemy within ten days. Obviously, his speed of mastering the unfamiliar alchemy is simply unimaginable compared to Tu He!

Such a gap cannot be resolved by age at all.

It can only be talent!

All in all, now that the subordinates came to report, there must be results!

Thinking of this, Tu He immediately put down what he was doing, collected himself, and asked, "How?"

"Hui Tu Lao." The subordinate chaotically said, "Several adults agreed that there is no problem with Wang Gao's bone age, and he is only as old as the crown."

what? !

Only and the crown? !

Although he had made some psychological preparations, Tu He was still shocked!

Only 20 years old, can become a fifth-rank alchemist?

The subordinate continued: "Besides, in order to prevent him from being a high-ranking cultivator who took away his young body, just now when he walked in along the way, several adults secretly tested the compatibility between his soul and body with magic weapons, and found that it was a perfect fit. So, the possibility of taking the house has also been ruled out."

There is no problem with bone age and soul.

Obviously, this Wang Gao is a peerless genius in alchemy!

Chapter 193: County Examination Questions.

When Tu He was young, he also participated in the Alchemy Ceremony, especially after breaking into the "Little Zizai Tian", he saw those real alchemy geniuses, and his amazing talent was once an eye-opener for him.

But compared with this Wang Gaobi, they are all overshadowed.

Perhaps only the Alchemy Ancestor who once left the "Little Zizaitian" can have such an astonishing talent for alchemy!
