Facing the elder's question, Jing Yingrong thought for a moment and said, "I have been around for a long time."
Her weird and awkward statement made the three elders look at each other.
The elder in the middle pondered: "Jing Yingrong... I seem to have some impression."
At this time, the deacon brought the jade slip with the relevant information about Jing Yingrong. After reading it, the elder showed a look of surprise on his face.
"It's you. You stayed in the foundation building stage for too long. No wonder your spiritual power is purer than ordinary golden elixirs. Well, you are a bit older, but you have accumulated a lot of experience and there will be no shortage of opportunities in the future."
With that said, he showed the jade slip to the other two elders. The two people obviously also remembered the rumor that Jing Yingrong "went to Taichu Temple in order to break through the realm and extend his life", and they understood.
"You passed this one."
While returning the token to Jing Yingrong, the elder joked: "But, what you said is novel enough. It has existed for a long time? Isn't it just that you have lived longer? Why, are you worried about being called old? Haha. .”
Jing Yingrong looked at the gradually fading red color in the Chao Ling Crystal, smiled lightly, and said nothing.
The deacon came closer and led her to the second assessment.
"The three tests you chose are spiritual consciousness, physical body and actual combat. Which one do you want to take first?" the deacon asked.
Jing Yingrong said casually: "The physical body."
Deacon: "Okay, come with me."
There is more than one person conducting physical examinations, but they are all conducted in separate and independent rooms. Each room is equipped with two elders and a deacon.
The deacon took Jing Yingrong to a room, gave a brief explanation to the two elders, handed the jade slip to another deacon who was staying here, and left immediately.
"Jing Yingrong, stand in the formation."
One of the elders pointed at the large formation in the room and said.
Jing Yingrong followed the instructions and went to stand in the center of the formation.
Another elder took out two pieces of reddish-brown wood that were slightly different in size, weighed them in his hands, and finally asked his companion for help.
"Which one is used for the early stage of the golden elixir?"
"The one on your left hand. Whatever you did, you can forget about it and let the disciples see the joke."
"Hey, I know, I know, don't talk about it."
The elder raised his left hand, and the red-brown wood flew to Jing Yingrong and floated in front of it.
"After the formation is activated later, you need to cut this red ling wood into four or more parts within half an hour. The size and shape of each part are unlimited. Before it is completed, you must completely avoid the formation. If you receive one attack from within, it will be considered a failure. If you fail to divide the red ling wood into four parts after the time is up, it will also be considered a failure."
The elder said.
Another person added: "You are not allowed to use spiritual power during the process, nor are you allowed to use magic symbols and other foreign objects. You are only allowed to rely on physical strength. Am I clear?"
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah."
"Okay, get ready. The formation will open in ten breaths."
Jing Yingrong took the red lingmu in his hand and looked at it for a moment.
Jijie Brush: "There is one more step than before. The red lingwood is famous for its dense texture, hardness and thickness. Based on the age and size of the pen in your hand, ordinary early-stage Jindan monks would be able to use it without relying on spiritual power. It shouldn’t be easy to destroy.”
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah."
Ji Jie Bi chuckled: "So do you want to pretend to be more strenuous later?"
Jing Yingrong thought for a moment and said, "I'll give it a try."
Ji Sha Jian: "I think..."
Jing Yingrong: "What?"
Ji Sha Jian: "Forget it, it's okay, just do what you want."
Jing Yingrong responded.
The two elders poured their spiritual power into the formation, and the formation was activated.
As the array pattern lights up, invisible pressure comes. If someone else were here, he would definitely feel as if he was stuck in a quagmire, with squeezing forces coming from all directions, even his organs and bones would be oppressed.
However, it was Jing Yingrong who was in the formation at the moment.
She stood there without even frowning, staring intently at the red lingwood in her hand.
Sharp stone cones suddenly formed above the formation, and the stone cones whizzed down, making a sharp sound as they broke through the air.
Jing Yingrong moved to avoid the stone cone.
After moving three steps, she held both ends of the red lingwood with both hands; after moving two more steps, she broke the red lingwood with a "snap"; after moving three steps further, she broke it a second time; then after four steps, she broke it a third time. Second-rate.
Now, the red ling tree has become four sections.
The formation was closed, and the two elders and a deacon were stunned.
Only a few seconds have passed.
Ji Sha Jian: "I knew it."
Jing Yingrong: "Pretending to be different?"
Ji Sha Sword: "...You tried your best."
Jing Yingrong: "Oh."
Jijiebi didn't seem to be surprised at all, he let out a series of laughter and said: "Keep up the good work, keep up the good work."
"Um."
In that compartment, the two elders looked at each other.
"Is that really the red lingwood used for assessment? Are you sure you got it right?"
"How could it be wrong! Compared to this, isn't her movement speed too fast? Did you see clearly just now?"
"...No. But if you touch a stone cone or use spiritual power, the formation will react. So there should be no problem."
"Then she is... a pure physical practitioner?"
"No, I think she still has to take the spiritual test. If she can cultivate her body while taking into account her spiritual consciousness, she will be a rare talent."
The two elders discussed for a while, and one of them gradually lost his patience.
"What should we do then? Let her take the exam again, or should she pass it?"
Another person said: "Well... let's consider it passed. It would be better for us to meet up soon. I'm still in a hurry to grab the new elixir from Tiange."
"Okay, that's settled then."
So Jing Yingrong "successfully" passed the physical examination.
She was led by the deacon to the venue for the spiritual consciousness assessment, and met Shu Pinghui on the way.
Shu Pinghui had just finished the spiritual knowledge test and was in high spirits. She saw her face reflected in the mirror and waved vigorously.
"Rong Rong!"
Jing Yingrong cast a questioning look.
Shu Pinghui: "The assessment is simple, let me tell you."
"Ahem."
The deacon walking in front of her coughed twice.
Shu Pinghui immediately fell silent and could only wink mischievously at the mirror.
Jing Yingrong smiled slightly.
In the room where the spiritual consciousness assessment was conducted, there were also two elders and one deacon.
On the table in the center of the room, there is a three-foot-square box. According to the elders, there are several layers of boxes inside this big box. Each layer of boxes has a blocking effect on spiritual consciousness, and the blocking force becomes stronger the further inside. Different items are placed between the boxes.
What Jing Yingrong has to do is to penetrate the inside of the box with his spiritual consciousness and learn as much as possible about the items placed in it.
However, the elder did not tell Jing Yingrong that he had to know which layer of the box contained the items in order to pass the test.
Ji Yanzhu: "This is different from before. In the past, I would ask for approval first."
Ji Jie Bi: "Yes, in the early stage of Jin Dan, which level is needed? Which of you remember?"
