I picked up the scattered attributes

Feng Xia tossed the small feather crown in one hand, then suddenly flicked his sleeve, causing the small Daoist bell floating in mid-air to fall and fly directly towards the ghost girl Qiaoman.

A look of terror immediately flashed in Qiaoman's eyes.

If a mere small feather crown could cause the demigod Ziyang Daoist to lose his composure like this, then the consequences of this bell falling on her would likely not be any better!

However, her cultivation level was far weaker than that of Daoist Ziyang.

Despite hiding in Guanglingxuan for over ten years, she was only skilled at concealment; her talent in cultivation was merely at an ordinary level.

Even Daoist Ziyang couldn't stop her, so what could she possibly use to defend herself?

bang——

A large, dark bell flew in, its body vibrating and emitting a series of melodious hums.

However, nothing happened.

"Could it be... that I'm in better shape than Senior Ziyang?"

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the strange feeling in her heart finally overcame her fear, and Qiaoman slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, only to be met with Fengxia's disgusted expression.

"Your magical power is lacking, your cultivation path is impure, and everything from your techniques to your supernatural abilities is subpar... Is this your average level?"

"..." Qiaoman's body trembled slightly, and her lips parted little by little.

what what?

What is this guy saying now?

Even if her cultivation level is only at the level of an ordinary person, it shouldn't be as bad as Feng Xia said!

Before she could even react, she saw Feng Xia raise the small Daoist bell again and toss it gently toward Daoist Ziyang.

bang——

The melodious chimes rang out once again.

Immediately following was Feng Xia's even more puzzled whisper: "How come this one also lacks refined magic power and impure Dao? Hmm, let's try finding a few more."

bang——

“This one too.”

Bang, bang, bang—

"This one, this one, and this one too, all of them lack refined magical power and impure Dao..."

The more Feng Xia sent the clock, the more incredulous he sounded.

This large group of people, even if they weren't the absolute best, should at least be of average ability, right? But after Xiao Wenzhong asked around, he couldn't find a single one who was qualified!

"Are you really not sent out to die because you have poor talent and are behind in cultivation?"

He cast a questioning look at him.

Why don't you consider that maybe your bell is broken?

Looking at Feng Xia, whose gaze was becoming increasingly incredulous, the group felt as if a lump was stuck in their throats, making them feel so uncomfortable that they wanted to vomit blood.

Unfortunately, they no longer even had the courage to refute it.

"Oh, so I set the standard threshold a bit too high. No wonder all of them failed. This should be fine now—"

A wisp of spiritual light appeared at his fingertips as he traced a few strokes on the surface of the small Daoist clock.

The pitch-black bell flew out once more, landing on the head of Daoist Ziyang.

Daoist Ziyang glanced at it listlessly, then continued to sit there without saying a word, as if he had completely resigned himself to his fate.

Bang, bang, bang—

This time, the bell finally tolled more than once.

There are five sounds in total.

Feng Xia gently scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately read the information fed back by the Little Dao Inquiry Bell: "His magical power is pure and profound enough, but his cultivation method is flawed, resulting in insufficient purity of the Great Dao. Unless it can be made up for, reaching the peak of the Divine Bridge Realm is already the limit, and becoming a god will be extremely difficult."

"Ok?"

Master Ziyang's eyes lit up slightly.

Without a doubt, everything Feng Xia said was exactly the same as his situation!

He wasn't actually that old, and being able to cultivate to the Divine Bridge Realm naturally made him a genius, someone that countless people envied.

However, his cultivation stalled immediately after entering the Divine Bridge Realm.

It was as if his talent for cultivation had disappeared, or as if he had become a completely different person. No matter how hard he tried, he was always stuck at the initial stage of the Divine Bridge Realm.

Five hundred years have passed, and there has been almost no progress whatsoever!

"Is there a flaw in the cultivation technique I practice?"

The young Taoist priest, dressed in a Taoist robe, moved his lips and uttered a sentence with difficulty.

At this moment, Feng Xia, satisfied, held the small Dao-questing bell and looked at the ghost woman Qiaoman again.

"Come on, this should be normal now, you should try it too."

bang——

Before Qiaoman could put up any resistance—in fact, any resistance would have been futile—the small bell flew towards the top of Qiaoman's head and then emitted a buzzing sound.

Then there was no further response.

Qiaoman's chest, which had just been lifted, froze in place.

"Your magical power is still not refined enough, and your path to enlightenment is not pure enough. It seems that your cultivation is really not up to par." Feng Xia shook his head and sighed with regret.

"……I……"

"Alright, next." Feng Xia turned to the others.

Gazing at that leisurely figure, Qiaoman placed one hand on her chest, her high, firm breasts heaving.

Her delicate and pretty face first turned purplish-red, then bluish-purple. At this moment, she couldn't describe how much she regretted it.

If, back then, she hadn't chosen Feng Xia as her target, but instead picked someone else...

Would none of this exist today?

"Hmm, this threshold can be lowered a little, that should be about right."

Just then, Feng Xia, who had been spinning around, turned back: "I have to try one last time."

Qiaoman instinctively craned her neck, her face full of unease: "Can...can I try again?"

"You? Oh, sure."

After adjusting the small Dao-questing bell again, Feng Xia tossed it towards Qiao Man's head.

bang——

However, there was only one sound.

……

Chapter 0813

The experiment with the three treasures quickly came to an end.

Basically, both the power and the special effects met Feng Xia's expectations.

The only problem was that he discovered the talent and aptitude of the group of people in front of him were much lower than he had expected.

In Feng Xia's view, the Southern Star Region was once a place teeming with powerful individuals. Not to mention the dozens of True Gods, the number of powerful supernatural beings below the True God level far exceeded that of the Xuan Yuan World!

"My previous assessment was that if the Southern Star Region were to go to war with the Lingyun Kingdom at its peak, it would definitely win in terms of overall strength."

"However, since the Hundred Sects Alliance is only a loose alliance, its actual performance will be greatly reduced, and it should be about 50/50 with Lingyun Kingdom."

Feng Xia stroked her chin and stepped out of the spatial passage.

Through the slowly closing golden ring-shaped portal, one could see a group of people who had been somewhat energetic at first, but now looked like wilted vegetables, as if they had been completely ruined.

"If this group of people from the Second and Fifth Peaks can represent the average talent of the Southern Star Region, then the cultivation talent of the beings in the Southern Star Region is much weaker than expected."

"Doesn't that mean..."

Gradually, Feng Xia finally figured it out: "The beings outside the Xuan Yuan World... at least the beings in the Southern Star Region, may not have stronger talents than those in the Xuan Yuan World. It's just that they occupy better resources?"

The disparity in resources is an undeniable fact.

Not to mention the fact that the spiritual energy of the Xuan Yuan World only gradually recovered in recent years, even now, the average concentration of spiritual energy on the Nine Yang Star has reached the standard of a Feng Shui treasure land in the Xuan Yuan World!

"Reality is indeed this cruel. Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable. In many situations, you might not even be given the chance to compare yourself to others..."

For a moment, Feng Xia didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

However, it was precisely because of this that he became even more determined in his heart.

You must bring your companions from the Xuan Yuan World to see the outside world!

"The three treasures are ready, so the next step is to register the sect. It feels a bit like registering a company..."

Feng Xia clapped his hands, and a large jellyfish that had been bathing in the pond suddenly swooped over, its light flickering, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, like a broken light bulb.
