"Golden hoop...what's the stick?" the woman in yellow asked with a confused look.
"Well, this is really hard to explain."
Hearing the other party cut off the words "golden hoop" and "stick", Chen Shen's mind was opened and he suddenly remembered a joke——
One day, Wukong lost his golden cudgel. He summoned the earth god and asked: "Old earth god, do you know where the great sage's golden cudgel is?"
But the old man from the land shook his head and said: "Back to the Great Sage, the golden hoop you are wearing on your head matches your hairstyle very well."
Thinking about Wukong's expression at that time, Chen Shen found it very funny and burst into laughter on the spot.
The woman in yellow shirt looked puzzled: "Why is Mr. Chen laughing?"
"Hahahaha, it's okay to cough. Anyway, your craftsmanship is great and I like it very much."
The young man finally stopped laughing, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the two Space Mysterious Rings into the opponent's hands: "These two Space Mysterious Rings should be regarded as the labor fee for transforming the Wujin Moon Worshiping Stick."
"Cooperation is cooperation. I don't want to owe you any favors. Besides, if I attend the Hundred Sects Ceremony this time, if people find out that I have a space profound ring with a three-star or above, I'm afraid it will arouse unnecessary suspicion."
"How about I give you an advantage, my partner?"
When the woman heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything. She accepted the two rings and left gracefully.
At the same time, four investigators sent by the Beast Refining Sect met in a teahouse sixty miles away on the west side of the square: "What did you gain?"
After the leader asked, the other three shook their heads with regret: "I have investigated all the people that guy has contacted before, and they have all been recruited. The coachman named Guo even drew a portrait."
"After verification, it was indeed this person who had a dispute with Cao Changwu at the auction. But... I don't know where that guy is at all."
"Damn it! After searching for several days, I still can't find the perpetrator. He seems to have disappeared from the world."
"Hmph! That's all. Sooner or later we will catch him."
"Right now, the ceremony of recruiting hundreds of disciples is about to begin. Since Cao Changwu is dead, his responsibilities will be temporarily taken over by me." The leader stood up suddenly: "Follow me to the central square."
"yes!"
…
At this moment, the central square of Ziwei Xingyu Kingdom was already crowded with people.
Geniuses of xuanxiu from the seven major empires of the secular world, thousands of kingdoms, principalities, and even princely states gathered together.
People who are usually arrogant and violent are now keeping to themselves and being extremely well-behaved.
Hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes focused on the center of the square, on the more than a hundred high platforms, with faces full of longing and hope——
"The people in the cultivation world are really extraordinary. If you pick one of these more than a hundred sect examiners, he will be at least a top expert in the middle and upper Xuanwang realm."
"Who is King Xuan? It is said that big sects such as Qingyun Sect and Qianlei Sect have even sent strong men like Emperor Xuan! Emperor Xuan, if you just stomp your feet, the entire secular world will tremble, right?"
"Oh, I don't know which country bumpkin came from some remote country. Do you really think that there is no one in my secular world? They are just low-grade Xuanhuangs who can make you tremble with fear. You are really worthless!"
"you……"
The humiliated man was just about to attack, but when he saw that the other party was wearing the noble clothes of Ziwei Shangguo, he immediately calmed down.
He is just a prince of the kingdom, how can he dare to provoke the people of the higher kingdom? Besides, this is still the territory of the Ziwei State Church.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, not to mention, this prince's cultivation level cannot be called a "strong dragon"...
After a moment, a voice as powerful as thunder resounded across the sky: "Okay, the ceremony of recruiting hundreds of disciples has officially begun!"
"The rules are the same as in previous years. Age and cultivation are used as references to determine the talent of each candidate."
"The better your talent, the easier it is to be favored by various sects."
"The age of all candidates must not be more than one age. If someone is clearly over the age limit and still comes on stage to waste our time, I will not be lenient!"
"Okay, now you can start testing."
…
As he finished speaking, hundreds of thousands of geniuses from various countries, under the command of Ziwei Shangguo's Law Enforcement Office, formed a hundred columns, corresponding to the one hundred Mysterious Measuring Stones on the stage.
Those who are at the front go to the stage to test, one by one, the process is clear and lively.
Chen Shenpai's position is in the middle, neither in front nor behind. And at this moment, he has removed the effect of "Transformation Plastic Bag" and shows his true face to others.
Although before, this young man learned a lot about the cultivation world from Xiang Nanren.
But he didn't know the reason for the one hundred pairs of stones placed on the stage.
At this point, the test has begun——
"Buzz buzz..."
One hundred high platforms and two hundred strange stones, under the touch of the palms of one hundred people, emitted lights of different colors, which was dazzling.
Chen Shen was confused because he had no idea what the colorful colors of these stones meant.
In desperation, he could only ask others for advice: "Brother, what are those stones on the stage for?"
"Go, go, go! Who is your brother? Don't have any random friendships. I am the son of the Minister of Da Qi. How can you be qualified to call me brother?"
"Your sister!" Chen Shen rolled his eyes and asked another person.
However, he asked five or six people in succession, but no one answered him.
Obviously, Chen Shen was regarded as a country bumpkin. These geniuses in the secular world regarded themselves as too high and no one wanted to pay attention to him.
There was even a man with a tile-faced face who agreed to charge him a "consulting fee" for a thousand kilograms of low-grade spiritual stones, and then told him the functions of those stones.
As a result, the guy took the money but didn't say anything, which made Chen Shen furious.
If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding people's eyes and ears, this young man would definitely give him some lessons...
At this moment, a young man in plain clothes timidly said: "Um... I can tell the young master the function of those stones. However, if the young master is selected as a high disciple by a certain sect, can you also reward me with some spiritual stones?"
"Well?" Chen Shen raised his eyebrows.
The people around him suddenly started laughing, waiting to see his joke.
Obviously, they all felt that the young man in simple clothes was rubbing salt into Chen Shen's wounds and deliberately making him angry!
The young man came back to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, sir, don't get me wrong."
"I really will tell you, and I can swear a blood oath to prove it. However, sir, you must also swear a blood oath, and you can't default on it."
"After you are accepted as a disciple of the sect, I, I only need five hundred kilograms of low-grade spiritual stones. Okay?"
Chen Shen's eyes twitched wildly.
It's his turn soon. If he doesn't know the rules, he may suffer a loss.
He had no choice but to believe the other person: "Okay, I promise you."
