I can't stop, otherwise I will be thrown further away."
"Oh, haste makes waste, why can't you listen to my advice? Why do you want to compare with your brother?
Don’t be like your brother, your brother, ugh”
Hou Beiming let out a long sigh.
His son's name is Hou Sitian.
The heart is higher than the sky.
He has had a strong talent for alchemy since he was a child. When he was twenty years old, he was already a Seven-Star Xuan Alchemist.
However, he has one shortcoming: he is too arrogant and extremely conceited.
Even as a father, I can't say anything wrong about him.
But he fell in love with a promiscuous woman, and he fell deeply in love with her.
Hou Beiming is a dignified city lord, how can he endure that his daughter-in-law is a woman who is admired by thousands of people?
So, he scolded Hou Sitian and told him to break up with the woman.
Hou Sitian not only refused to agree, but actually fought with him.
But how could he be Hou Beiming's opponent?
So he was imprisoned by Hou Beiming.
As for the woman, she was captured by Hou Beiming and hid in a place.
In fact, he really wanted to kill that woman.
But he knows very well what his son’s character is.
If his son finds out, I'm afraid he will go crazy.
So he resisted the desire to kill, asked the woman to write a farewell letter, and promised her that she would have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
The woman obeyed and wrote a farewell letter.
However, Hou Sitian never believed it after seeing the farewell letter.
He scolded his father.
It is said that Hou Beiming definitely forced Qing Qing to kill and forged this farewell letter.
Having said that.
But he could also recognize that it was the word Qingqing.
So I cried loudly for three days, calmed down, and pretended to reconcile with my father.
And when it came time for the Zhongzhou assessment, he secretly went to take the assessment.
After passing the examination, he scolded Hou Beiming and vowed never to come back.
Hou Beiming felt sad in his heart.
Since then, I have been sighing all day long.
Upon seeing this, his daughter Hou Siyu began to make elixirs in order to please her father.
Even if I don't really like alchemy, I force myself to like it.
Finally, when she was twenty years old, she was promoted to a four-star Xuan Alchemist.
And the Zhongzhou assessment is just around the corner.
I remember it was six years ago when my brother passed the exam and left.
And tomorrow, for the Zhongzhou assessment, I, Hou Siyu, am here
Brother, wait until I go get you back.
As a family, what can't we get through?
What's more, the woman is not dead, why are you still angry with your father?
Tomorrow is the Zhongzhou assessment.
Those who are about to take the assessment are either so excited that they have difficulty falling asleep and are waiting for the day to come.
Or just seize the time and continue to seek breakthroughs.
Lu Chen belongs to the latter.
He didn't even know that the Zhongzhou exam would be held tomorrow.
Until Jiang Xinyue sent a message from his soul.
"Oops, there's no time, I haven't broken through to Master Xuan yet"
Lu Chen shouted and regretted it endlessly.
If I had known that I had no chance of breaking through Master Xuan, I might as well have spent all this time practicing Chunyang Sword Technique.
Or practice the Aoki longevity skill and Aoki sword technique.
It is a hundred times stronger than alchemy.
It's a pity that if you can't predict the future, how can you make the best judgment?
Now that things have come to this, we can only continue to carry on.
While there is still one night left, try to break through Master Xuan.
Then, one night passed.
fail
"Grass"
Chase Lu cursed loudly.
The job of refining alchemy is not suitable for me. It seems that I still have to rely on the sword in my hand to carve out a future.
For the Zhongzhou assessment, let’s take it one step at a time.
"Xiao Luzi, don't be afraid, I'm here."
The puppy suddenly said.
After scolding Lu Chen for almost a year, he finally showed a softer look today.
I saw him shrinking down to the size of a sesame seed.
Then, he got into Chase Lu's ears.
"Hey, I'll give you some pointers after you pass the exam.
It is guaranteed that you will be able to confuse the fake with the real one and refine a nine-star elixir that is comparable to the one-star mysterious elixir.
Once this elixir comes out, they will definitely let you pass."
The little dog vowed.
Lu Chen was overjoyed, "I didn't expect you to be able to shrink down to such a small size.
You had this plan for a long time, why didn't you tell me.
This way I don’t have to work so hard to refine elixirs here.”
Speaking of the latter, Lu Chen complained.
The puppy snorted, "If not, how can I motivate you?"
You are now at the pinnacle of the Nine-Star Spiritual Alchemy Master.
Only with this strength can you refine the elixir I mentioned.
If I had told you earlier, you would have failed, you idiot."
"Okay, you have a point."
Lu Chen didn't argue with him.
In a flash, he left the small world.
When he opened the secret room, he saw that everyone had gathered.
Red Eyed Spear King, Tu Mingdao, Cui Yu, Heron and the others.
Wu Zijian, Jiang Xinyan, Elder Liu and others.
Lin Zimu, Lu Tianxing were also there.
However, none of them have special skills. They cannot make elixirs, form formations, make talismans, or refine weapons.
After all, they are all young people, not old enough, and spend most of their time practicing to improve their cultivation.
How can I have time to master these specialties?
And without these specialties, one would not even be qualified for the assessment.
If you want to fish in troubled waters, the Zhongzhou assessment has the first level assessment, the basic assessment.
What is assessed is the alchemist's knowledge of alchemy.
The formation master’s understanding of formations, etc.
It uses jade slips to pose questions and let everyone answer them.
A simple level is enough to kill a lot of people who want to join in the fun.
Therefore, generally those who are not particularly thick-skinned will not take part in this assessment.
It's meaningless except for being embarrassing.
Therefore, the only ones participating in the assessment this time were Lu Chen and Jiang Xinyue.
Others just sent them there to cheer them on.
"Acting Sect Leader, I'm late."
A voice suddenly sounded outside Chunyang Sword Shop.
He is full of energy, his words are sharp, and his words are full of sword energy.
"Elder Yun Xin, congratulations on breaking through the Four Directions realm."
Lu Chen was overjoyed, "From now on, this Chunyang Sword Shop will have to be taken care of by Elder Yun Xin."
"Acting Sect Master, thank you for giving me a chance to recover and for allowing me to take advantage of the opportunity to break through to the Four Directions Realm."
Yun Xin bowed deeply.
Chase Lu helped him up, "They are all the pillars of the sect, you're welcome."
Elder Wei Tian was envious from the side, "Old Jian, you are a blessing in disguise. You have made a lot of money."
"It's all the work of the acting sect leader, I'm just lucky."
Yun Xin said modestly.
"Okay, okay, if you're happy, we'll talk about it later.
Let’s go to the Zhongzhou Assessment Hall first.
Let’s send Lao Lu and his wife to go together. We have a large number of people, so we need to hold on to the situation first.”
Cui Yu urged with a smile.
Everyone laughed: "Okay, okay, send the acting sect leader and his wife to give us Yanyue Academy and Yufu Mountain a long face."
You must pass the Zhongzhou assessment, you must pass, you must pass, you must pass.”
Everyone cheered soaring into the sky.
Lu Chen and Jiang Xinyue smiled at each other and clasped their hands.
Must pass
They both also prayed in their hearts.
But Jiang Xinyue was praying for Lu Chen. She didn't even have to think about it, she would definitely pass.
This is the confidence to study hard and make talismans every day
Completely different from Lu Chen, a dabbler.
"Let's go."
Lu Chen rolled up black mist, carrying everyone flying over the imperial city.
In the past, I was afraid of Hou Beiming and would not fly in the imperial city.
But now, there is no need to be afraid.
And on this special day, Hou Beiming will not pursue it.
In the imperial city, there may not be many people who are more powerful than Lu Chen and others.
But there are not many people who have special skills such as alchemy and weapon refining.
Such as the juniors of the four marshals, the juniors of the thirty-six generals, and some powerful young generals.
Everyone will take part in this assessment.
Some of the top 100 people on the imperial list are also descendants of local aristocratic families in the imperial city.
You will also participate in this assessment.
The number of people was at least over six hundred.
Adding in some people who are just trying their luck and want to try their luck, there will be about a thousand people.
It is estimated that only a few dozen will pass the assessment in the end.
Sometimes, only a dozen or even a few people pass.
This shows the severity and difficulty of the assessment
The Zhongzhou assessment is held every three years at the borders of the eight surrounding regions.
It is calculated based on collecting thirty people from each domain each time.
From the eight regions, a total of 240 people can enter Zhongzhou.
Once every three years, there are only a few people there.
No wonder people say that if you go to Zhongzhou, you can reach the sky in one step.
This level of difficulty ensures that everyone who goes there is an elite among the elite, a genius among geniuses.
The three major holy lands, semi-holy lands and various top sects will all rush to recruit disciples.
These extraordinary geniuses entered Zhongzhou, a treasure land of resources.
It would be strange if he didn't fly into heaven.
Swish
Lu Chen led everyone to the southern border of the imperial city.
The border gates are not open yet.
A group of people stood scattered in groups.
There are so many people like Lu Chen and others, they can be considered a minority among the minority.
Some people couldn't help but point their fingers and say, "Look at those fools, they think they can pass the exam if there are more people."
"Come on, if it worked, the city lord's daughter would have passed the test long ago."
"Hey, why have I never heard of the city lord's daughter?"
"The city lord's daughter is called Hou Siyu. She is an alchemy madman. She never comes forward. How could you have heard of it?"
An old Jianghu loudspeaker began to spread what he knew.
Only then did everyone find out that the city lord’s daughter also took the Zhongzhou exam three years ago.
But it failed.
At that time, she had not refined the One Star Mysterious Pill.
it is a pity.
I don't know if she can succeed this time.
"Look, the city lord is here."
Someone called out.
The arrival of the city lord means that the border gate is about to open.
You can enter the Zhongzhou Assessment Hall.
Hou Beiming is here.
With him is his daughter, Hou Siyu.
Hou Siyu inherited the advantages of his father's appearance and was very dignified and elegant.
She has a ladylike temperament.
However, her expression was not as warm as Hou Beiming's.
On the contrary, there is some indifference.
It seemed like there was no one in sight.
However, you can't say that someone is rude.
She is not as arrogant as Jiang Ningyu and Mo Yanbing.
Her state seemed a bit like she was immersed in something and had no intention of caring about anyone.
Moreover, she was mumbling something, not knowing what she was talking to herself.
"Xiaoyu, now that you are out, please don't indulge in alchemy anymore."
Hou Beiming sighed softly.
Hou Siyu didn't hear what he was saying at all.
Hou Beiming had no choice but to calm down.
He laughed loudly and said, "I've kept everyone waiting.
The Zhongzhou assessment will begin soon, so I won’t waste everyone’s time.
Now, I will open the border gate.
However, everyone has to wait for the bell to ring in the assessment hall before everyone can enter the assessment hall.
Don't rush in all at once, queue up and walk slowly.
Everyone must remember that each of us represents the Northern Territory when we arrive in Zhongzhou.
Therefore, you should pay attention to your image and don't be a street gangster.
Well, I'm about to open the door, everyone please step back."
Hou Beiming gave the order and held a token in his hand.
He made a hand seal with his hands and placed it on the token.
Then, the token emits light and transfers the power of the manual to the border gate.
Buzz
The door shook slightly.
Crunch.
The door opens slowly.
Then a strong spiritual energy blew out.
At the door, everyone was rushed by spiritual energy and felt extremely comfortable.
A completely different quality of spiritual energy.
This is the aura of Zhongzhou
It felt like the spiritual energy they had absorbed before was simply the stench of a mud pit.
Everyone was filled with envy and jealousy.
If they can enter Zhongzhou, their strength will also soar.
