Xiuxian: The longer you live, the better your talent!

Chapter 169: Continuous School Examinations (Please vote for me!)
This trip was a near miss, but the relationship between Lu Changsheng and the Zhu family had also dropped to a freezing point.

After receiving the person, the two parties had a tacit understanding and did not meet each other.

Lu Changsheng and others quickly returned to Baijing Fairy City without making any further stops.

The family settled in the purchased house.

half year later.

Neither Mother Lu nor Lu Changsheng had any intention of celebrating Mother Lu's birthday. They just invited some friends who were familiar with each other in the Great Yuan Realm.

On the same day, Taoist nun Ruyi, Yu Hai and his son came to sit down one after another.

Because Qu Yan married into the Lu family, Wan Yu was also invited.

After the meal, Yu Hai and Lu Changsheng talked about the situation in the past six months.

Especially the empress.

"The empress' cultivation speed is astonishing. She has been sent to the Taixuan Sect by the Zhu family. I'm afraid it won't be long before her chances are far greater than ours."

Yu Hai was quite unhappy about this.

He was not interested in the empress, especially after going through a series of previous events. In his opinion, this kind of person lacked humanity.

In addition, they both came from the same place, so they will inevitably compete with the empress Zhu Qing secretly.

Speaking of this, Yu Hai felt distressed again, and shed tears as he spoke.

It turned out that six months ago, not long after arriving at the Zhu family, old father Guan Hongxiu fulfilled his promise when he was in Dayuan and wanted to find a woman to provide a heir to the old Guan family.

Although Yu Hai couldn't compare to Zhu Qing, he was comparable to an average little genius, so he lived a relatively comfortable life in the Zhu family.

Finding a common woman for the old father is naturally not a problem.

Not long after, with his help, a woman married into the Guan family.

When the woman came out of Guan Hongxiu's room, Yu Hai remembered a very serious problem.

He has an extra mother.

If he could accept this for a while, then when he learned that the Tiangang spirit body that he was proud of, if he wanted to succeed in practice, he had to lock the Jingguan for a long time and not leak Yuanyang. He suddenly collapsed.

Lu Changsheng was speechless when he learned about this.

I can only comfort Yu Hai. There are gains and losses. If you want to be more open-minded, wait until your cultivation level improves.

Anyway, the life span of a practitioner is very long.

In this way, Yu Hai felt much better.

Then other people who came out of the Great Yuan were mentioned.

There is one person that Yu Hai cares about a lot, and that is Sun Wu.

"Do you still remember that Sun Wu?"

"Naturally remember."

Lu Changsheng still had a deep impression on Sun Wu.

Among the elders of the Five People's Association at that time, this person's talent in practicing martial arts was the best besides himself. Later, he was promoted to an innate martial artist, ostracizing himself from Wei Feng and others.

"Not long ago, the Zhu family discovered that this person has a strong talent for alchemy. Therefore, they are planning to send him to Baiyun Cave for the next alchemist assessment."

Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment and said, "Dayuan is really full of talents."

Dayuan is a world of ephemera, and it is good if it can produce one or two C-level spiritual roots. In the spiritual world, the population base of Dayuan is only the number of two palms.

You know, the status of the spiritual world is much higher than that of the ephemeral world.

"My relationship with the Zhu family is a bit awkward now. It would be best if you go back early."

Lu Changsheng said.

He suspected that Yu Hai's cultivation speed could not match Zhu Qing's, which may be due to his own influence.

"I will pay more attention to this matter."

He signed an immortal contract with the Zhu family, but he couldn't leave at this time.

Otherwise, if the Zhu family suppressed him, no one would say anything.

"If you don't talk about this, what happened to Miss Zhuqing and Qin Wan?" Yu Hai said.

Lu Changsheng sighed and said: "It's still the same, that person is not willing to let him go."

"Is there any reason?"

Yu Hai's heart sank.

He had also helped the Zhu family in this matter and wanted the Zhu family to help get the person out, so he knew some details of the matter.

I know that the matter of finding a concubine is not all the advice of Master Lu.

Otherwise, the Zhu family would never have been able to come into contact with Xu Zhuqing and Qin Wan many times.

Therefore, Yu Hai knew that with Lu Changsheng's current momentum, it would not be difficult to rescue the two girls.

"It's not that this is the problem, but that Master Lu has not returned."

Yu Hai immediately knew the reason.

If Zhenren Lu is not here, the people below will not dare to let him go without authorization. This is a matter of priority.

"This is a bit tricky." Yu Hai sighed.

"Yes, he is a foundation-building monk after all."

Lu Changsheng also lamented that facing the great foundation-building monks, he, a little alchemist, could not stand on the stage at all.

The two chatted for a while, and then Lu Changsheng sent him to the door.

"Don't panic, Changsheng. I'll wait until my Tiangang Spiritual Body is completed and I'll give you more power." Yu Hai patted Lu Changsheng's shoulder and said with a smile.

"I'll catch up with you soon. Don't stay at the first level of Qi training."

Not long ago, Yu Hai entered the realm of innateness. The next step is to practice the root method and transcend the stage of martial saint, so as to condense his magic power and achieve the monk's body.

Lu Changsheng is still at the first level of Qi training, but his magic power has increased a bit, reaching Qiku.

This is the effect of taking drugs.

Using the first-grade Qi Accumulating Pill as food, he forcibly increased his magic power from the previous five to seven.

There are three more libraries, which is the second level of Qi training.

"If your spiritual root talent is too low, it will consume more resources."

There is nothing he can do about it. He cannot completely stop his cultivation, otherwise, it will also affect the efficiency of his alchemy.

Refining alchemy requires controlling spiritual fire and consuming mana.

The stronger the mana, the more times it can be sustained.

Moreover, if you want to refine higher-level elixirs, you also have certain requirements for your own realm.

A monk in the early stage of Qi training will never be able to refine a second-grade elixir.

This is the limitation of realm.

As for Mr. Lu——

Lu Changsheng sneered. The other party's concerns seemed reasonable, but they were not necessarily true. She could keep people for Zhenren Lu at will, so why couldn't she let them go?
"In the final analysis, it's because of status. If you switch to a second-grade alchemist, or even if you don't use the second-grade, the other party will have to think carefully."

······
A few days later, Lu Changsheng returned to Baiyun Pharmacy to participate in Lin Yan's second assessment.

Just like last time, we will give written responses first.

However, something unexpected happened this time that Lu Changsheng didn't expect. Zheng Yuan and Wu Feng, who were in awe of him during the last assessment, changed their previous attitudes and treated him quite coldly. Apart from a greeting when they met, Nothing more.

Lu Changsheng's frown quickly dropped.

People are changeable.

As the second school entrance examination approaches, there is not much time left for these people before the last round of school entrance examination, so it is normal for their mentality to change easily.

However, at this moment, some intentional or unintentional actions by Wu Feng and Zheng Yuan let Lu Changsheng know that there were some deviations in his guess.

The positions and eyes of the two are similar to that of senior brother Huo Ming, so there may be some influence from Huo Ming in this matter.

envy!

He took a deep breath and didn't bother to pay attention to it.

As long as he still wants to stand out, he will inevitably conflict with his senior brother.

"Huo Ming is the teacher's favorite disciple. Over the past year or two, the teacher has become more and more admiring of me. As time goes by, his attention to other people will inevitably decline. If he is a narrow-minded person, he will definitely treat me. dissatisfied."

Lu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

This is competition.If we don’t fight, how can we have a vast future?
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was filled with peace.

Teacher Lin Yan walked in from outside the hospital. After giving a lecture, he began to take the exam.

It’s still a written Q&A.

Zheng Yuan and Wu Feng sat on their seats and took out pen and paper. Compared with the last time they took the exam, they were more confident this time. They must have done their homework in advance.

This made Lin Yan very satisfied.

The person he chose has good talent. If some hidden conditions can be developed, he will probably not be too bad.

Naturally, I also have some expectations in my heart.

Question 69 starts with 'How to reversely deduce the ingredients of pills'.

Hearing this question, Huo Ming and others who were watching were shocked.

The inference of the ingredients of the pills is extremely particular, which proves that he is quite experienced in pharmacology and can be called a master.

This kind of question requires careful consideration even if they are asked to answer it.

"The teacher's questions this time are actually so difficult. This is something I have never seen before."

Huo Ming turned to the others and said.

Take the school exam three times, starting from the shallower to the deeper.

However, even if it is the third time, it cannot be a problem of this level from the beginning.

Because, according to Lin Yan's exam habits, the questions at the beginning must be the easiest.

"It's difficult now."

Several people looked at the three people present, with a playful expression in their eyes.

At the same time, there are some doubts.

Does Lin Yan have other intentions when he poses this question?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw someone in the room was already writing, and his pen was as fast as a horse and as graceful as a giant.

A trace of curiosity appeared in Lin Yan's eyes.

Unlike others, during this period, he often paid attention to Lu Changsheng and was satisfied with him in every aspect.

During this exam, he was mostly thinking about Lu Changsheng.

"It's so fast. Isn't it a bit crazy?"

Lin Yan secretly said.

His way is stability.

In his opinion, Lu Changsheng's move was already a bit unstable. If he hadn't retained his calmness and composure, he would probably be dissatisfied.

"Let's see what the answer is."

After a while, Lin Yan got the paper from Lu Changsheng, and when he took a look at it, his expression suddenly changed.

"This method is unique and well-founded. I wonder if it is your unique method?"

Lin Yan laughed.

On paper, Lu Changsheng used a new way to push back the pill, which greatly comforted him.

He is not against new methods, but only if they are justified.

Obviously, Lu Changsheng did it.

"I don't know if I am a unique disciple, but this method is indeed the disciple's idea."

The spiritual world is endless, and no one knows if anyone else will know this method.

After all, there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people.

Inspiration and creativity are similar, not to mention the reverse pill method based on pharmacological knowledge.

Lin Yan was very satisfied with Lu Changsheng's answer.

"It is very valuable to not be arrogant or impetuous."

Lu Changsheng turned around and sat down.

Beside them, Zheng Yuan and Wu Feng had sweat dripping from their foreheads and were a little panicked.

It's not that they can't infer a type of pill, but after Lu Changsheng's performance, if they use conventional methods to infer, it will appear that they are vulgar.

Once entangled, the mind becomes confused, and even conventional methods are difficult to sort out.

"Such a mind cannot be refined."

Lin Yan watched the performance of the three disciples.

Without Lu Changsheng for comparison, the other two would not appear so miserable. Unfortunately, they are afraid of comparison in everything.

Compared with Lu Changsheng's calm and composed posture, the two of them paled.

"That's all, it's enough to have one disciple."

Lin Yan thought to himself, no longer looking at Zheng Yuan and Wu Feng, but continued to ask questions.

After an hour, all 69 questions were answered.

What shocked everyone was that Lu Changsheng answered them all, and some of the questions even made Lin Yan think deeply.

"Perception is malleable, and clever writing can make a difference!"

After reading Lu Changsheng's answers to the 69 questions, Lin Yan suddenly stood up from his seat and exclaimed.

"Your understanding of the basics of alchemy far exceeds my imagination." After saying that, his face sank slightly, and he released a seventh-level Qi training aura.

Looking at Lu Changsheng, he solemnly said: "Tell me the truth, do you have a teacher? If so, I can still give you a chance. Everything in the past can be forgotten. If you continue to hide it, one day the matter will be exposed, and I will not tolerate it. you."

For many years in Baiyun Medicine Store, Lin Yan had never encountered anyone who could understand the basics of alchemy so thoroughly in such a short period of time.

If one has a master and yet one worships him, it would be considered harmful to others.

Even though Lin Yan was very fond of him, if this kind of thing really happened, he would not tolerate it and would kill him with a stick.

Not wanting to, Lu Changsheng's eyes were clear and he looked directly at him, "To be honest with you, teacher, I came to the spiritual world from the world of ephemera not long ago. I also worshiped my teacher in the mortal world. He has been a great help in my cultivation. , but on the alchemy path, everything is achieved through my own hard work."

Lin Yan's expression softened, and he looked at Lu Changsheng with an increasingly satisfied look.

He is not afraid of ordinary teachers, especially in a world of ephemera.

However, one cannot believe Lu Changsheng's words in this matter, and will definitely continue to inquire about it in the future.

But at the moment, he doesn't plan to dwell on this with Lu Changsheng.

"In that case, we can proceed to the next step of taking the school exam."

Next step?
Everyone was stunned.

Even Huo Ming and the other four disciples did not expect that there would be the next step of taking the school exam.

Lin Yan ignored them and said, "The test for this step is alchemy."

Lu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat.

Alchemy only appears in the third exam. The teacher directly brought it out in the second exam. Why?
"Teacher, is this unfair?" Zheng Yuan and Wu Feng came out immediately when everyone was preparing the alchemy materials, and asked anxiously.

"Yes, teacher, we originally agreed to take the school entrance examination in three years, but now we both have full plans, and it only takes more than a year. Senior Brother Lu is not bad, he has more than half a year longer than us, so for us to take the school entrance examination so soon It’s really unfair.”

Huo Ming's expression changed slightly and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after seeing Lin Yan's ugly face, he immediately took it back.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

"Since you think it's unfair, then go back." After that, he said directly to Huo Ming: "Send them away from Guanlan Courtyard."

"Yes, Master."

Huo Ming said quickly.

Wu Feng and Zheng Yuan were immediately dumbfounded.

We just want to buy some time, how can you just abandon us?
"Teacher - I -" The two of them wanted to struggle, but Huo Ming grabbed one of them by the shoulder and lifted them out.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng felt a moment of silence in his heart.

After all, he was young and dared to speak like this to an alchemist with whom he had no other relationships.

"Okay, go get ready." Lin Yan looked at Lu Changsheng and said.

"If you don't agree with me, I won't be able to keep you, you know?"

"Disciple knows." Lu Changsheng bowed slightly and said.
