The day after the memorial ceremony ended, Yue Yu took a break for the first time since his resurrection and slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up with satisfaction. At this time, Yue Zhang was tired of waiting and took a step ahead of him, taking Ran Li with him.
He and Yue Bingqian rushed to the ancestral hall.
Yue Yu, however, was still not in a hurry. He practiced swordplay in his yard first, and then had a leisurely breakfast before setting off in another carriage left by Yue Zhang.
And when he arrived, he saw that nearly 200 wooden platforms had been built in the originally empty Qingtiao Stone Square in one night. However, there was no one on the platform at this moment.
.All the teenagers who are qualified to participate in the competition are lining up in front of some white jade stone tablets that look a bit like obelisks. The total number is about 150, and the tens of thousands of children in Yuejia City are also lining up.
A long queue.
Yue Yu thought that this should be the so-called 'step-setting stone', but looking at the huge crowds of people, he probably couldn't finish testing it in an afternoon. It is said that this is already a clan, and the step-setting stones of dozens of surrounding towns
We borrowed all of them to build the scale.
"Hmph! In my life, I have seen countless children with excellent talents, but those who are as lazy as you are rare!"
The person who registered Yue Yu's information at the entrance of the ancestral hall square happened to be the old martial artist Yue Youfeng who was responsible for teaching Ran Li. When he saw Yue Yu arriving in time before he was late again, his face suddenly turned blue.
"I know that you are invincible among the younger generations of the Yue family, and you are talented enough to stand up for yourself. But there are so many geniuses in this world. If you continue to slack off like this, sooner or later you will regret today! It's hard for you to do so.
I am not willing to be the same as those mediocre people!"
Yue Yu's face suddenly turned cold, knowing that the old man in front of him probably already knew about him. It was even possible that he was one of the people responsible for observing him these days.
Thinking of this, Yue Yu felt unhappy. From that day on, he and Ran Li could only go to the back mountain. Once they went, they would be monitored from morning to night.
Although at this time, apart from his ability in pharmaceuticals, there was nothing else to hide. But these days without even the slightest private space still made me feel a little uncomfortable.
And his diligent and measured practice method is equivalent to laziness in the eyes of the old man in front of him. Since people in this world will face the crisis of death at any time, except for those who are sure that it is impossible to practice anymore,
Except for those who have made progress, almost everyone will spend all their free time practicing martial arts. Even those tenants are no exception. In this kind of atmosphere, people like Yue Yu are indeed an outlier.
Sighing secretly in his heart, Yue Yu bowed respectfully to Yue Youfeng: "Uncle Feng is right, my nephew has learned a lesson!"
——Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the old martial artist's words, he had always respected the old martial artist. Moreover, in his tone, the clarity and concern of hating iron for not turning into steel were evident. Even though Yue Yu did not intend to
I did as he said, but I was very grateful.
With decades of experience, Yue Youfeng's eyes were so vicious that he could tell at just one glance that Yue Yu's words were not sincere. However, he also knew that he might not be able to persuade him about this matter, but he was not qualified. He sighed secretly and shook his head, getting up.
Standing up from his seat: "The patriarch has already told you that you don't need to participate in the competition this time. However, this inner breath level still needs to be tested. Anyway, you come with me first -"
After Yue Youfeng finished speaking, he walked directly towards the direction of the main hall in the center of the square. Yue Yu smiled slightly, and he knew that he might not be able to participate in this competition.
But fortunately, there are two chess pieces this time, and both Ran Li and Lin Zhuo have great hope of success, so they can basically rest easy.
Quickly following Yue Youfeng, it wasn't until he entered the palace gate that Yue Yu realized that the direct lineage disciples of the Fourth House and Blood Refining Buyun Second Hall, like them, actually had special treatment.
In the center of the hall, three huge stones were placed at some point. They appear to be purer white in color and much rounder. Their grade should be on top of the stepping stones outside. And in front of them
, there is also a long queue, but the scale is much smaller than the thousands of people surging outside.
In addition, there was also a small group of people waiting at the entrance of the left side hall. Among them were some well-known elites under the age of 24 in Yuejia City. Ran Li was also among them, and his ranking was quite high.
After arriving here, Yue Youfeng turned another corner and took Yue Yu directly into the right side hall under the curious eyes of all his peers in the hall. A smaller one was also placed here.
The color and texture of the step stone were very similar to ordinary white jade, and Yue Yu noticed at first glance that there was nothing else in this spacious place except the two of them and some decorative furnishings.
.
"You are so lucky, boy. This is the only tenth-grade stone in the clan! This time, I brought it out of the treasure house just for you!"
Yue Youfeng gently stroked the stone surface with his hand, sighed in admiration, and then looked over with a bit of envy, and a bit of warning on his face.
"This is the treasure of the ancestors in the clan. When you use it next time, you must be careful not to damage it!"
Listening to this tone of jealousy and worry, Yue Yu didn't feel anything strange. He knew that this tenth-grade step stone could indeed be regarded as a rare treasure. After all, not everyone in Dongsheng Continent could do it.
Those with auxiliary intelligence systems and analytical abilities like his can only use the method of 'inner vision' to sense the true energy in their bodies.
Under such circumstances, the high-level step-setting stone, which can detect the detailed attributes and strength of the true energy, is naturally very important in the eyes of those high-level martial arts masters. It is just used to detect whether the user's skills have gone astray.
A little bit is enough to greatly increase its value.
However, the more advanced this thing is, the more delicate it is. After one use, it often takes a month or two to wait until the scattered spiritual power and true energy in the stone completely disappear before extremely accurate test results can be obtained again.
And another disadvantage is that it cannot withstand the impact of high-intensity inner energy and the conflict with spiritual powers with different attributes.
"Tenth grade step stone? Haha, my nephew is really flattered! Forget it, since some people must want to know the nature of my true energy, then I don't care! I just don't know what kind of skills the clan wants me to learn now.
Fa, what kind of level of infuriating energy is it?"
Yue Youfeng was slightly stunned when he heard the words. He couldn't figure it out for a moment. Yue Yu asked what these words meant. But at the next moment, Yue Yu chuckled softly and pressed his hand to the stone surface.
Just like what he saw in the book, before he had time to activate his inner breath, he felt that the true energy and spiritual power in his body was ready to move, and poured out crazily towards the palm of his hand.
——There seemed to be a strange and extremely strong suction force inside the stair-stepping stone, stimulating the energy in his body.
Yue Yu's heart was frightened, but fortunately he was well prepared. He just slightly changed his breathing method, then gathered his true energy to form a yin-yang fish sphere in his dantian, and quickly resisted.
After he was able to basically control the leakage of the breath in his body, he carefully released a trace of water-attribute true energy, simulating the true energy nature of Buyun's true method, and input it into the eyes in front of him.
