Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 2 Test
"Hey, some of the kids taking the test this time are pretty amazing."

Carpenter Wang held his son's hand to prevent him from being squeezed away by the crowd, and began to express his feelings.

Father Zhou was a qualified supporting actor, and when he heard this he asked, "What do you mean?"

Carpenter Wang pointed to a young man dressed in brocade and jade, with a noble temperament, who was standing near the Linxian Terrace. He said, "See? That's Wan Liang, the son of our Yunzhou City Lord. It's said that in order to help him pass the test, the City Lord had a master cleanse his bones and marrow since he was three years old. Now, at only twelve years old, he has the strength of a thousand pounds and is able to fight tigers and leopards."

Father Zhou exclaimed in shock, "Fighting tigers and leopards? He's only twelve years old. Even a brave general who has fought for many years can only do this. It seems he will definitely pass this test."

"Are you surprised by this?"

Carpenter Wang laughed and said, "There's something even more amazing. Do you see that girl not far from Master Wan?"

Old Man Zhou looked in the direction he pointed. Even Zhou Qing and Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but look. Who could be more powerful than Master Wan, who had fought tigers and leopards at the age of twelve?

There were many women taking the test near Master Wan, but the three of them immediately identified who Carpenter Wang was referring to.

She was a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with skin that seemed made of snow, shining brightly in the midday sun, dazzling the eyes.

Although there were a lot of people around Linxiantai, everyone kept a distance from her unconsciously, as if they were worried that the popularity would be too great and would warm up her, a person made of snow.

Wang Xiaohu swallowed unconsciously and said, "If you marry a woman like this, you wouldn't be willing to let her sew and cook."

"It's worthless!"

Carpenter Wang slapped his son in frustration and said, "What's the point of sewing and cooking? He's a person who wants to cultivate immortality."

"This is Miss Nie Yunxi, the daughter of Mr. Nie, the richest man in Yunzhou City. It is said that since the young lady was born, Mr. Nie has spent a huge amount of money to buy spirit stones and placed them by her side."

Father Zhou said in shock, "Spiritual stones, aren't those treasures only possessed by immortal masters?"

"of course."

Carpenter Wang said proudly, "However, if mortals are willing to spend a lot of money, they can also buy some low-quality spirit stones. These spirit stones are not valued by immortal masters, but they are priceless treasures to mortals."

"Miss Nie has carried the spirit stone with her since she was a child. She has been exposed to spiritual energy daily and has transcended her mortal form. According to well-informed sources, Miss Nie no longer possesses the scent of a mortal body, but instead is constantly adorned with a faint fragrance."

Old Man Zhou shook his head and said, "Young lady, you naturally have the best rouge and powder, so it's not surprising that you have a fragrance on your body."

Seeing his authority being questioned, Carpenter Wang straightened his neck and said, "Who said that? Miss Nie never uses rouge or powder."

"how do you know?"

"Of course I know. I'm well-informed."

As they were talking, the two of them started arguing.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhou Qing couldn't help but look sideways at Carpenter Wang.

We agreed to just come here to see the world, but this Old Wang has done more homework than anyone else.

He shook his head in amusement, thinking, if wearing spirit stones could change one's physique and enable cultivation, then the sect would have been able to mass-produce immortal cultivators long ago, so why would they still need to recruit disciples in the mortal world?

At this time, the people around were also talking, and most of the content was related to the rumors that Carpenter Wang had just mentioned.

He guessed that this was the halo that ordinary people unconsciously gave to the children of the city lord and the richest man out of their admiration for power and wealth.

If worldly power and wealth have any meaning to immortal cultivators, then the emperor and the richest man should be the most powerful immortals.

By noon, there was a sudden burst of exclamations from the crowd that had been whispering.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

But then a huge white crane broke through the clouds and flew towards Linxiantai.

When the white crane flew closer, people could see clearly that there was a man in a moon-white Taoist robe sitting cross-legged on its back.

The man looked only about thirty years old, but since a cultivator's actual age could never be directly estimated from appearance, no one could say for sure. He wore a wine gourd on his belt and held a jade flute in his right hand. His appearance and demeanor were indescribably elegant and graceful.

When the white crane flew over Linxiantai, the man jumped down and shook his sleeves. The white crane turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew in.

This series of actions immediately established his image as an immortal master in everyone's mind. Everyone stared at him with envy, and for a moment they were speechless.

Zhou Qing felt someone pulling his sleeve.

He turned around and saw Wang Xiaohu looking at him with a pair of shrewd little eyes. He whispered, "Brother Zhou Qing, while no one else is reacting, let's hurry to the front. Otherwise, we don't know when it will be our turn."

Zhou Qing was delighted and thought to himself, this little fat boy may look silly on weekdays, but he is actually very smart.

He signaled to his father and Carpenter Wang, and immediately he and Wang Xiaohu squeezed through the crowd and came to a location near Linxiantai.

They didn't dare rush to the front.

Although he had participated in two tests, those were only memories, not personal experiences. Zhou Qing wanted to observe the situation of the person in front of him first.

The immortal master announced the start of the test on the Linxiantai.

Immediately, officers and soldiers from Yunzhou City stepped forward to maintain order and asked those taking the test to line up.

Everyone finally reacted and lined up according to their current position.

In the end, Zhou Qing and Wang Xiaohu ranked seventh and eighth respectively.

This is an ideal position, neither too far forward nor too far back to waste time. Zhou Qing once again praised the fat boy's cleverness.

The first person to take the test was the city lord's son Wan Liang.

Wan Liang walked up to the stage confidently, took a piece of crystal jade from the immortal master, and closed his eyes and concentrated as the immortal master instructed.

After a while, the jade showed no reaction.

The immortal master's lazy voice sounded: "You don't pass."

Wan Liang didn't expect this result. He was stunned for a moment and then blurted out: "This is impossible, you must be mistaken!"

He was about to ask for a retest, but he saw the immortal master looking at him with sarcasm in his eyes. He suddenly felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, chilling him from head to toe.

He didn't dare to argue anymore and left Linxiantai in shame.

The one that everyone was optimistic about actually failed. The people under the Linxiantai were very surprised and felt it was unbelievable.

Zhou Qing was not surprised by this.

To the people of Yunzhou City below the stage, Wan Liang is the son of the city lord and has a noble status. To the cultivators, he is just an ordinary test subject.

If others can be eliminated, why can't he?
This also further confirmed his previous thoughts that worldly power and wealth have no meaning for those who practice immortal cultivation.

This was just a small episode in the testing process. The immortal master obviously had no intention of clearing up everyone's doubts, so the test continued.

Several people came on stage one after another to be tested.

Among the people who were favored by people in Yunzhou City, only Nie Yunxi passed the test, and the others all failed.

Instead, it was the person that people were completely pessimistic about who passed the test in the end.

Among them was a man named Wei Xu, who was Wan Liang’s follower. He usually accompanied Wan Liang carefully and this time he also took the test with him.

After discovering that he possessed spiritual roots, Wei Xu looked down at the people below the stage who were looking at him with envy, laughed heartily three times, and said, "Today I finally know who I am. How joyful!"

After saying this, he gracefully stepped down from the stage and, under the guidance of the officers and soldiers who were maintaining order, went to the top floor of Huixian Tower, waiting to go to the world of immortal cultivation with the immortal master.
