Xiaoyaoshanjun

Chapter 180 Test
Thousands of meters above, Tian Buli's body was speeding in the strong wind.

Not long after, two fairies stepping on wooden swords caught up with him.

Tian Buli glanced sideways and happened to see the smile on Qingwei's face.

When he saw Qingwei and Huaqu, Tian Buli knew that he couldn't get rid of this kind of magic weapon in terms of speed alone.

Thinking of this, Tian Buli exerted force on his feet and rushed into the sky on the clouds.

This time it was like a real rocket, going straight up into the sky.

Whether it is the inertia generated by high-speed flight or the high initial speed that comes from a sudden change of direction, these are techniques that not everyone can master.

Qingwei and Huaqu quickly slowed down their flying swords and soon chased towards the sky, but the sky was tilted.

Five thousand meters!
Ten thousand meters!

Fifteen thousand meters!

Qingwei and Huaqu soon could not fly anymore and could only watch the black shadow at least 20,000 meters ahead moving rapidly forward.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before Tian Buli pressed down the cloud and flew towards the ground.

Qingwei slowly descended on the flying sword, and after a few seconds she saw the quiet mountain town shrouded in clouds below.

Tian Buli waited in the air for a few seconds, and when he saw Qingwei coming, he floated over on the cloud.

"Senior Sister, your flying sword is indeed very fast. I can't outrun it even if I use my greatest strength. But can't this thing fly high?"

Qingwei smiled and said, "I thought you would say you won."

Tian Buli laughed and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I was the first one to run in the speed contest. If you are caught up on the road, I lose. If you lose, you should admit it openly. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

Seeing that Tian Buli admitted his shortcomings so easily, Qingwei also became more humble.

"If you think about it carefully, I haven't lost. Just like what Junior Brother said, my Shuiyun Sword can only fly fast at low altitudes. It works well in places with water and clouds. But when it's high up and there are few clouds, it won't be able to fly."

"But you, Junior Brother, you practice the Flying Clouds Dao, how can you run to a place without clouds?"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "My body is ethereal and my movements are as loud as thunder. The main reason I can fly so high is that I often listen to Master and his uncles and uncles discussing Taoism, which has given me a better understanding of Yanxia Gong."

Qing Wei asked curiously, "Did Uncle Feng teach you?"

Tian Buli explained, "No, the headmaster didn't teach me specifically, but I learned the palm thunder from the Yanxia Kungfu before I officially entered the sect. Later, when my cultivation level improved, I often listened to Master Feng's teachings and watched Master Feng riding the wind, so I gradually understood some of the basic skills."

Qingwei nodded thoughtfully, "I see. I forgot that you were listening to Master and the others' lectures and discussions."

Hua Qu said enviously: "Uncle Liuyun takes good care of me, I am really envious."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "It is true that she has taken good care of me. However, during the previous sermons, Senior Sister Qingwei and Senior Brother Canggu were also there. It is not that I favor one over the other. I guess I just brought them along for the sake of convenience."

As they were talking, the three of them fell towards the courtyard.

The wheat harvest has already begun, and apart from drying the grain, the main thing every household does is pay taxes.

Farmers gathered in the cement square outside the Tian family's mansion pushing their carts. There were special grain collectors here to check the quality of the wheat and prohibit some people from paying taxes with wet wheat mixed with stones or watered.

The staff gathered in the square, and the queues of cars and farmers carrying loads formed a line of several hundred meters, waiting patiently under the sun.

On the cement square, bags of wheat are poured on the ground for inspection, then someone registers them in the shed, and someone else pours the wheat into a transport truck and takes it to the nearby granary for storage.

It was too troublesome to store food at home, so two large granaries were built directly on the cement road outside the door to store the rented grain for the two thousand people in the town.

The grain will be sold for money, and will also be stored for use by the Tian and Hu families.

During festivals, he would also help some elderly people in the village and give them 30 kilograms of wheat as a token of his gratitude.

Qingwei and Huaqu just glanced over there and soon landed in the yard with Tian Buli.

Flour was being ground in the courtyard. Zhou Jiao and Dou Niang were grinding flour here with Xiao Dian and a few maids. When they saw Tian Buli coming down, Zhou Jiao quickly put down the stone mill in her hand.

"master!"

The dragonfly who was working and the little dot who was playing with wheat quickly raised their heads and saw Tian Buli and two other beautiful women falling down together.

"father!"

Tian Buli looked at the little girl running towards him, picked up Xiaodian with one hand, and then looked at Dou Niang and Zhou Jiao.

"These two are Taoist priests from Yanxia Mountain, and they are disciples of my uncle. They are here to test Xiaoyuan's qualifications. Let Xiaoyuan come over."

Zhou Jiao said quickly: "Yes! Master! I'll go right away!"

Tian Buli carried Xiaodian to the vicinity of Dou Niang, where there were two baskets of millet on the ground. There was also a small stone mill in the yard, which should be used to grind tofu and was specially moved out to grind flour.

It takes many steps to turn wheat into flour. Generally speaking, the more times it is sifted, the richer the owner of the house is. Eating mixed flour buns is definitely not as decent as eating white flour buns.

Dou Niang didn't know what to say. Seeing that Tian Buli cared about these things, she explained, "I just happened to have nothing to do, so I just ground some flour and made some oil buns."

Dou Niang thought this little thing was not worth talking about, and quickly said: "Bao'er is outside collecting food. He now knows how to help with housework and is much more sensible than before."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "I forgot about this. Let Bao'er come over to test it. If he can practice, it will be a good thing."

"Is it really possible? How much silver will it cost? I'll give it to you!" Dou Niang asked happily and nervously, looking at the two fairies in white, and then at Tian Buli.

Tian Buli looked at Qingwei and said, "I forgot to ask this. Senior Sister, can you test more people? If there are any expenses, I will pay for it."

Qing Wei smiled and said, "Brother, you are being polite. The Water Light Mirror given by Master can be used by activating mana, and it doesn't cost much. Besides, it is originally used to select disciples, so why would I ask you to pay for it?"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "I understand. It seems that ordinary people must pay money. However, I am a disciple of Yanxia Mountain, so I will naturally avoid those polite words."

Hua Qu followed up by saying, "That's not true. We don't work for nothing."

When Dou Niang heard this, she whispered to Tian Buli, "Then how much should I give?"

Tian Buli consoled her, "No need to give it to me. Just think of it as a gift for testing Xiaoyuan. If you really have the aptitude to practice, you don't need to spend any money. Please come and try."

Dou Niang was relieved and quickly went to call Baoer back.

Tian Buli put Xiaodian on the ground and sat on a stool with Xiaodian, waiting for someone.

Xiaodian felt bored and reached out to grab the basket full of wheat.

Tian Buli also grabbed a handful and squeezed it lightly, and a large amount of flour fell into another bag.

Xiaodian looked at his father in shock and tried hard to grab the wheat with both hands, but he couldn't grab any flour.

In a few minutes, the Li sisters and Xiaoyuan came over, along with Xiaocong and Bailian.

Qingwei took out a mirror and said, "Just put your hand on it. If your palm sweats within two breaths, you have the qualifications."

Qingwei didn't know who Xiaoyuan was. Seeing that Bailian and Xiaocong were dressed more like ladies and masters, and they were walking closest, she put the mirror in front of Xiaocong.

Bai Lian quickly pressed her son's shoulder, "Xiao Cong, put your hand on the mirror!"

Qingwei then realized that this was not the Xiaoyuan, but she did not refuse.

Xiao Cong quickly stretched out his tender little white hand and placed it on the mirror handed to him by the beautiful older sister.

Except for Bai Lian, no one else had any hope.

However, Tian Buli and Qingwei were always paying attention to the mirror.

When Xiao Cong put his hand on it, the originally ordinary mirror began to show ripples, but soon returned to calm.

Qingwei grabbed Xiaocong's hand and looked at the beads of sweat on the palm of Xiaocong's hand.

"You are qualified and suitable for practicing water magic."

Tian Buli nodded, "This is a good thing. This child has been targeted by water monsters since birth, so it is normal for him to have water aptitude."

Bai Lian took two steps back, his body feeling as if it had no weight, yet also feeling extremely heavy.

When she was about to fall, Tian Buli held up the fainting woman with one hand and said, "Sit aside and rest. Continue to test Xiaoyuan and Xiaodian."

Bai Lian quickly sat aside with the help of her maid to catch her breath. Her palms were covered with sweat from excitement and her mouth was unable to close.

Li Hezhen grabbed Xiaoyuan's hand and touched it to the mirror.

Only a slight crackling sound was heard, followed by Xiaoyuan and Li Hezhen's exclamations.

The mother and son quickly withdrew their hands, and Xiaoyuan started crying and wailing in pain.

Xiaocong and Xiaodian were both frightened and stared in a daze at their second brother and second brother who were crying bitterly.

Qingwei frowned, "It's a thunder magic physique, I'm afraid it's more suitable for practicing thunder magic."

Tian Buli nodded, "As long as you have the qualifications, it will be fine. When you go back, please ask the headmaster if they will accept the child to go up the mountain."

"Okay, let's try this girl too." Qingwei felt that Tian Buli's other child was also worth a try.

Tian Buli naturally had no objection, and soon Xiaodian also tried it.

Xiaodian didn't feel anything, and soon Leopard came over and tried it, but he also had no qualifications.

Not long after, the Li sisters, Bai Lian, Dou Niang, Zhang Xia, Bai Yanhong, and even several maids and servants nearby all tried, but none of them were qualified.
