Chapter 142: The Art of Observing People: Yao Yun vs. Wu Tong
When they heard that the king was selecting talents, the slaves immediately became excited.
After becoming a slave, if there is any chance of making a comeback, having the talent for cultivation will definitely be at the top of the list.
According to legend, there are great witches or some masters who can check whether they have cultivation talents. In slave workshops everywhere, slaves always talk about the fact that a certain slave is valued and trained by big shots because of his cultivation talents, and some even become certain nobles.
As a retainer, his status has skyrocketed and he is highly favored!
However, this art of observing people is a very advanced knowledge that few people master.
The slaves only had a rough selection at the slave market.
Most slave markets use poor methods to select people, usually based on the eight-character formula. Those who are strong and smart may have physical aptitudes, while those who are smart may have mental aptitudes.
The profound art of observing people is amazing, few people have mastered it, and it is very precious.
The slaves were naturally overjoyed to learn that Xidu was such a master. It was a rare opportunity even for ordinary people, let alone slaves.
As soon as Yao Yun entered the slave workshop, he found that it was very lively. With the burning torches next to it, Yao Yun could clearly see the expectant looks on the faces of countless young slaves and children.
Outside the yard, at the foot of the wall, there were a large number of middle-aged slaves secretly watching, all anxious and excited.
"Your Majesty, all the young slaves have gathered in the open space. There are 870 adults and children in total. They are all new slaves entering the slave workshop." Cangmanhui reported that his fate was also very tortuous, and he also became a slave when he was a child.
, if he had not been lucky enough to be favored by the prince and become a retainer of the prince's family, he would still be suffering, and he might have died long ago.
"Second Elder, what do you say? Please make a rule."
"Easy to say, let's have people number the slaves. You and I will pick out the ones we like, write them on the bamboo slips, and then compare them!"
Yao Yun was stunned, how does this compare? He just said in vain that someone has a talent for cultivation. You don't know whether he has talent or not. After all, this qualification is a qualification, and it is not certain whether he can become a Qi Refiner.
"Second Elder, I just thought of a question, how do these compare?"
Wu Tong smiled and said: "I have a secret method to verify it. Don't worry, your Majesty still doesn't believe in me."
"The second elder was joking, Gu naturally believes you, but..."
Wu Tong seemed to have guessed Yao Yun's thoughts and answered, "But this secret method requires a lot of good things, so it cannot be used frequently."
Yao Yun nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
After discussing, the two began to walk towards the slaves.
The lights were shining, and countless slaves clenched their fists excitedly, their hearts filled with anticipation.
Yao Yun discovered something just at the beginning. When Wu Tong, the second elder with white hair and childish face, walked over, the slaves were very excited. They all secretly looked at the Master Wu Zhu in front of them with expectant eyes.
Every look and every movement of Wu Tong made the slaves breathe quickly and tremble all over.
But when it was his turn to come over, although the slave was still very excited, he was obviously not as nervous as before.
Yao Yun was speechless. It was obvious that these slaves placed their hopes on the second elder Wu Tong, believing that Wu Tong was the key to their destiny.
This is just like Yao Yun's treatment of traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life. No matter what the doctor's level is, the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor is always the most popular, not because of anything else, but because he feels different in his heart.
The same is true for the slaves in front of them. Only the master Wu Zhu fits their fantasy, and only the mysterious Wu Zhu has the ability to observe people. As for the king, although he is also very impressive, he is still young after all and still needs to grow in all aspects.
Another aspect is the method of selecting people. The second elder Wu Tong was very professional. He first looked up and down with a torch, and when he saw that he had a good look, he used his hands to feel around the body.
The slaves had no resistance at all and were very cooperative with Wu Tong. The whole process seemed very ritualistic.
On the other hand, Yao Yun basically didn't move much. He just glanced at him and made no other moves at all. He looked very unprofessional.
Therefore, it is normal for the slaves not to regard King Xi as an assessor.
Even Yao Yun felt it was a bit unprofessional, pretending to touch the slave's body and pretending to be serious.
The bald dragon pursed his lips, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "Hey, it's all pretentious, the prince is still a child who hasn't grown up."
Yao Yun didn't think too much, put aside his previous distracting thoughts and carefully selected talents with cultivation talents.
The slaves present all understood what it meant now. If they could be selected, not to mention soaring into the sky, they would also rise to the top and have a channel to rise to the upper class. Therefore, most of them were very excited and their inner emotions fluctuated greatly. This
It is very beneficial to use the magical power of [Knowing People with Wisdom Eyes] on Yao Yun.
Basically, every time you use your magical power, it will work and you won't miss.
After looking at dozens of people, Yao Yun was a little disappointed. They all had mediocre physical aptitudes and mediocre mental aptitudes. People with cultivation talents were very rare.
Yao Yun secretly looked at the second elder Wu Tong and found that the old man was lagging behind him and could not keep up with his speed.
"Your Majesty, are you really good at observing people? Why are you faster than Wu Laoer? Why do I think this is unreliable!"
There was a muffled voice in Yao Yun's ear. Ordinary people could not hear this voice at all, but his mind was very powerful and he could hear it very clearly.
Yao Yun listened and learned, and tried to use the power of his mind to make a special voice and said: "Uncle Long, you don't understand. The second elder has his witchcraft, and Gu has a discerning eye. Both are great abilities. You don't understand the other."
You are fooling around, Gudu lent you his dragon horn, go play with your horn!"
"oh!"
The bald dragon regretted it after he finished speaking. He felt that this conversation was very familiar. Wasn't this the tone the prince used to coax those two stupid black and white bears? He was surprised. Wasn't he just as good as those two idiots? It turned out to be true.
The mouth that eats people is soft, and the hands that take people are cut off.
The bald dragon wanted to maintain his integrity and return the sacred beast Si Niu's unicorn to the crown prince, but when he thought of the big bare head on his head, he resolutely fell silent and stopped making any sound.
Without the bald dragon chirping by the side, Yao Yun felt more at ease and used his magical power [Knowing People with Wisdom Eyes] one after another.
This was thanks to Yao Yun's successful promotion to Qi Refiner. If it had been before, he would have exhausted his mental strength and collapsed. How could he be as relaxed and free as he is now?
It seems that with two to three hundred people, Yao Yun finally found one or two good ideas.
[Gouwa: anxious and excited; first-class aptitude; mediocre mental aptitude; a tiger-headed little boy]
[Little Wolf: fear; second-level root and bone aptitude; first-level mental aptitude; born in midsummer, naturally active, with strong roots and strong bones]
Both Gou Wa and Xiao Lang were slaves bought from the Sun Kingdom. They suddenly discovered that they had two young talents with cultivation talents. Especially Xiao Lang, who had the second-grade root bone qualification, was young and had strong plasticity.
Although those with cultivation qualifications may not necessarily become Qi Refiners, their value is unquestionable. Even if they are ordinary soldiers, they are not much better than others.
Yao Yun felt that it was too profitable, so he immediately wrote down their numbers 317 and 318 on the bamboo slips in his hand.
Yao Yun continued to move, and soon the torch shone on a girl.
Yao Yun knows, isn’t this the fake princess Erya!
