Unexpectedly, Chong Yun Palace was not the palace in Yan Yue's mind, but an underground cave. The entrance was huge and could accommodate a hundred people. There was a flight of stairs leading down. The walls were engraved with strange patterns and lines. Although the fire was burning, it did not seem to be hot at all except for bringing light.
She reached out her hand and carefully touched the fire. She could not feel the heat on her skin, but her flesh was heating up.
She slowly withdrew her hand. Yan Yue could still feel the heat on her skin where she had touched. It was really a strange fire.
"It's best not to touch the things inside." A cold voice came from behind her.
Yan Yue turned her head to look. It was the man who had entered the selection on the same day as her, the man who was wrapped in a black robe.
"Hmph." A figure in purple walked between the two of them. There was still a faint evil smile on his face.
Everyone panicked.
Yan Yue looked at the young man who was walking away. She thought to herself, this child really needs to be disciplined.
Yan Yue put her hands behind her back and said, "Thank you for your reminder." Then she continued walking down.
The man in the black robe stood to the left of Yan Yue and did not say anything.
The two of them walked at the same pace, neither too fast nor too slow. From afar, they really looked like a pair of good friends.
After reaching the bottom, there was a completely different world. A pond with a diameter of almost a hundred meters appeared in the middle. The water was pale and clear, but one could not see the bottom.
She tried to release her divine sense, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response.
It turned out that this water also had the ability to block divine sense.
Normally, when one released their divine sense, their divine sense would be bounced back. But this water seemed to melt their divine sense.
In the middle of the pond, less than a meter above the water, there was an oval-shaped ball of light suspended. It was deep blue, but so blue that it was so clear. Just by looking at it, one would feel like they were being gently protected.
In the four directions of the pond, there were silvery white light pillars. In each light pillar, there was an item, and they were all different.
There was a sword, a bead, a piece of paper, and a porcelain bottle.
After everyone had arrived, one of the senior brothers spoke, "Come one by one. Everyone, walk around this pool once and put your hands into these light pillars. Can it test your knowledge of alchemy, formations, and talismans?
The right choice will affect your entire life. Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, please choose the path you want to walk properly. "
Someone in the crowd raised his hand and asked, "Senior brother, does one have to learn something if one has good talent?"
"No. This is just a reference for you to choose. You can choose what you want to learn. But of course, it's better to focus on learning skills....... Does anyone have any questions?
If not, let's start. "
When it was Yan Yue's turn, nearly half of the people had already been tested. Before Yan Yue, there were more than a dozen people who had good talent in one aspect or another. A few of them were very outstanding, and the most powerful one was the black-robed man. His talent was extremely high, and his pill talisman and weapon arrays were better than the average person. Although they were all very good talents, none of them were the most outstanding. Such talents should be more difficult to choose.
Yan Yue took a deep breath and began to walk around the pond. When her hand reached into the first light pillar, the surface of the water rippled, and water poured into the light pillar from the pond. Finally, it slowly stopped at a position less than half the length of the light pillar. This kind of result meant that her talent was not high. Alchemy!
Morin was enough, so Yan Yue was not discouraged.
She continued to walk to the second light pillar, which was a pearl. Her hand reached in, and the water level in the light pillar slowly rose, stopping at two-thirds of the way. This kind of talent was considered good. Yan Yue noted it down in her heart. This was a formation.
She withdrew her hand and walked to the third light pillar, which was a piece of paper. Of course, it was not a simple piece of paper, but a powerful talisman.
But what kind of talisman was it?
She was not sure.
The result this time could not be considered good or bad. It was a little more than half, slightly lower than two-thirds of the way. Her talent was okay, but not very good.
Could it be? Yan Yue sighed softly. Her talent in alchemy was not bad?
She did not have any extravagant hopes. These were just subsidiary things. Cultivation was the right path.
She reached her hand into the last light pillar. A few seconds passed, and nothing happened. Eh!
Although she did not intend to refine weapons, there was no reaction. Was her talent in refining weapons extremely bad?
At least among so many people before, there had never been such a situation. The worst case scenario was that the water level had at least risen a little.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, the sword in the light pillar suddenly moved. Yan Yue was absent-minded for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, the sword vibrated more and more violently. The water in the pool seemed to have gone crazy, rushing towards the light pillar one after another, rising higher and higher, almost filling the entire light pillar. The sword was still vibrating, and the water was still not stopping, as if it was still rising.
She fiercely withdrew her hand, and the sword immediately stopped, as if it had never moved. The water seemed to have lost its support and fell down with a splash. The pool also returned to its calm state, without any waves.
"This …" The senior brothers looked at each other in dismay. One of them walked towards Yan Yue and said, "Junior brother, it seems that your talent in refining weapons is very good. Oh no, it should be said that it is very good. This kind of scene has almost never been seen before."
Refining weapons?
Yan Yue secretly thought, why did it have to be refining weapons? She was not in the mood.
However, she really liked that sword.
"Your talent is not bad. Perhaps, we can learn the art of refining weapons together." The black-clothed man walked towards Yan Yue and said, "Qing Shang Quan, my name."
"Refining weapons?" Yan Yue frowned slightly. "I don't really like it."
"Heh, you are so willful." Yan Yue glanced at the man who called himself Qing Shang Quan. She originally thought that he did not know how to smile, but it turned out that he did.
"Ah!
That's great, you guys are here. "Yan Yue and Qing Shang Quan turned around at the same time. It was a cheerful boy, with an exaggerated smile on his face, running towards them.
Yan Yue looked at this person in confusion. She did not seem to know him, could he be a friend of the person beside her?
That person ran in front of Yan Yue and Qing Shang Quan before stopping.
"Hello, I want to be friends with you guys. My name is Gui Lie, I know you guys!
You are Qing Shang Quan. Martial Uncle Violet said that among the new disciples, you are one of the most talented people, hehe!
Oh, right, you are Yan Yue. Although others do not know, I do. You are not a simple person either!
How about it, are you interested in being friends? "Yan Yue and Qing Shang Quan looked at each other. So they did not know each other!
As if they had agreed, Yan Yue and Qing Shang Quan turned around and left. Gui Lie stood in place, dumbfounded. He jumped and shouted, "Hey!
Don't go!
Yan Yue!
Qing Shang Quan!
Let's be friends!
Don't go!
I will not give up. "
Qing Shang Quan wrapped the black robes around her body, walking towards an unoccupied corner. She placed the hood on her robes on her head, the brim of the hood instantly covering half of her face, only leaving her pale and ice-cold lips.
After a while, Qing Shang Quan's originally closed eyes slowly opened. A person came in front of him.
The person who came was wearing an orange robe with silver embroidery. His slightly curled hair moved without wind. At this time, this person's eyes hid a cold and faint killing intent.
His lips did not move, but his voice entered Qing Shang Quan's ears, "You better not be too interested in the prey that I, Death Eye, have set my eyes on." After he finished speaking, the man turned around and left. In a flash, he disappeared into the crowd.
Qing Shang Quan closed his eyes. His lips curled. He was unmoved and lightly snorted. Truly a proud noble young master!
Qi Youyou saw that Yan Yue and the terrifying black robed man had separated. Only then did she dare to walk towards Yan Yue. Before she reached, she heard a few mocking words.
"Yo!
Isn't this the trash that tried to squeeze in with us!
I was wondering who it was! "
"Yeah!
I was wondering why it was so familiar!
So it was you, the coward. "
"Is it because you don't have a place to live?
As long as you bring us tea and water, massage our shoulders and legs, and serve us well every day, maybe we will consider giving you a place. "
"Aiya!
Don't say that. No one is willing to take her in. She probably ran off to live with a man!
Men!
I still like this weak and delicate look of hers. "
"Aiya!
Why are you running?
Are we going to eat you? "
"You … Don't go too far." Qi Youyou took a few steps back in fear. Her eyes glistened with tears. She looked around for help, but only indifference greeted her.
She took two steps to the side and looked in the direction of Yan Yue. At this time, she was still some distance away from Yan Yue. Yan Yue was leaning against the wall not far away with her eyes closed. It was as if she did not notice this side.
"Go too far?
You know how to talk back. Your courage has grown a lot!
Who gave you the courage? "Several figures continued to approach Qi Youyou. Covering her mouth and nose, Qi Youyou finally could not help but sob. However, she did not dare to be loud, only sobbing softly.
She did not want to cry, but she really, really could not help it. Who can help me, Yan Gege.
A clear and beautiful female voice entered their ears. "You guys, if you continue to bully people like this, I don't mind having a good chat with my Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, and Martial Uncles."
"Tsk!
Meddling in other people's business. "They muttered a few words and dispersed.
Qi Youyou wiped her tears and bowed to the person in front of her. "Thank you, thank you."
The person said, "It's nothing. I just can't stand their arrogance." After a few seconds of silence, she continued, "You, if you don't have a place to live, you can come and live with me. I have a place over there."
"Ah?
Thank you, but there's no need. I have a place to live. "After saying that, Qi Youyou picked up her pace and ran towards Yan Yue. After running a few steps, she turned back and said," That's right!
My name is Qi Youyou. Elder Sister, thank you for just now. "The woman smiled faintly and said," Youyou, hehe, my name is Min Xinhan. "" En!
Elder Sister Han, if there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving. "
Min Xinhan looked at Youyou who was running away and could not help but laugh softly. Although she looked very timid, she was very cute!
Feeling someone approaching, Yan Yue opened her eyes and looked in that direction. As expected, this aura was Youyou!
Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, she suddenly saw the traces of tears on Youyou's face. This woman, why was she crying again?
Yan Yue reached out her hand and gently touched the side of Youyou's face. Her expression was slightly cold, but Youyou was shocked by Yan Yue's action.
However, it was only for a moment before Yan Yue withdrew her hand and asked, "What happened?"
Blinking her eyes, Qi Youyou came back to her senses. Hearing Yan Yue's question, Youyou's eyes flickered a few times, and she said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Yan Yue withdrew her gaze and continued to rest. Since she was unwilling to say, why should she force her? It was just a casual question, what did it have to do with her?
When everyone was done, Yan Yue thought it should be dusk. She walked up the stairs and looked at the sky, only to find that it was still noon!
Sure enough, twenty-four hours of daylight was really long.
