Also, people under the age of 20 can take the test for free, but those over 20 will be charged. So how do we determine their real age?

Xia Fan couldn't figure it out. He looked at the endless stream of people walking towards the city center. Without any hesitation, he hurried to a restaurant nearby.

"Grandpa, I've looked at the Ascension List. It says that the test location is in the city center." Xia Fan said.

Tang Ansheng, who was drinking tea, heard his words and nodded silently.

"This is quite efficient. The test site has already been prepared even though the notice was only posted this morning."

Tang Ansheng was sure that the testing site in the city center was not available yesterday.

"If this happened in the main world, it would take more than ten days to complete the process. It would be impossible to complete it at all."

Tang Ansheng patted Xia Fan on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the city center."

Xia Fan looked hesitant, then asked, "Grandpa, do you want me to test it?"

"Of course." Tang Ansheng nodded. "Whether it's an immortal or an immortal master, they are all different if they have the word immortal in their name. Look at the county magistrate, he is always so slow in doing things."

"Now that it involves the word 'immortal', the efficiency has instantly increased."

Although Xia Fan didn't understand the word "efficiency", he understood its meaning after combining Tang Ansheng's two sentences.

So he said, "Humph, the county magistrate is like a toad - he only moves when you poke him."

"Besides, aren't you worried about Ergouzi's matter? If you can pass the selection of the Ascension Ceremony, this will no longer be a problem." In order to let Xia Fan go to the selection safely, Tang Ansheng also started to deceive him.

But this is not pure deception. After all, if you really pass the selection of the Ascension Ceremony, let alone killing a few gangsters, even if you slap the county magistrate, the county magistrate will not dare to do anything to you.

Because in a sense, the moment you pass the screening, you are no longer a mortal, but a reserve immortal, with a completely different identity and status.

"But old man, can I pass the screening?" Xia Fan asked.

Not to mention the so-called immortal talent, even his aptitude for practicing martial arts is very poor. How could he possibly get lucky and pass the immortal ascension ceremony?

However, facing his hesitation, Tang Ansheng gave a very affirmative answer: "Don't worry, I can definitely do it."

"Ah, really?"

Xia Fan was surprised and said, "But old man, I just heard that no one from our village passed the last Immortal Ascension Ceremony, not to mention the last session, there were no people in the previous sessions."

"Even in the entire Liu Town and all the surrounding villages, there were only two winners last time."

In response to his words, Tang Ansheng said: "Who is standing in front of you?"

"My...my grandfather."

"anything else?"

Xia Fan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said quickly: "Champion Marquis!"

"By the way, remember, your grandfather is the Marquis of Champion." After saying that, without waiting for Xia Fan to respond, Tang Ansheng strode towards the city center.

Xia Fan stood there in a daze for a while, still unable to figure out the connection between the title of Champion and the qualifications to pass the Ascension Ceremony.

"Hey, old man, walk slower and wait for me."

When Tang Ansheng and his companions arrived at the city center, they found that the place was already surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside, making it impossible to get in or out.

Tang Ansheng took a look and saw a stone more than one meter tall placed in the center of the huge arena. People kept walking up and reaching out to touch the stone, but nothing happened.

The boy in a robe at the side shook his head and waved to the next person. Then the person who seemed to be the recorder in the audience sighed and then made a stroke on the notebook with a brush.

The person on the ring seemed to know that he had not passed. He let out a long sigh and walked down the ring from the other side.

Although there were a lot of people, there was no overly noisy sound and a depressing atmosphere permeated the place.

Those who failed also walked down the stage voluntarily. There was no throwing tantrums or rolling around, because those who dared to throw tantrums or roll around were caught by the officers and soldiers who were maintaining order below the stage and thrown into jail.

"Those under 20, line up here!" a Taoist child shouted.

"Those who are twenty and above, if you want to take the test, please line up here and pay silver." A Taoist child also shouted from the other side.

There was a newcomer in the audience who seemed confused and asked in a low voice: "Brother, how do they know our age?"

"New here, right?"

"Yeah." Xia Fan nodded.

"Hey, this is the method of the Immortal Master. Let me tell you, there were a few people who were obviously over 20 years old before, but they still lied and said they were under 20 years old, wanting to be tested for free."

"Guess what?"

Xia Fan cooperated and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Suddenly, a bright light flashed on the stage, and all the liars were thrown off the stage and captured by the soldiers."

"I'm telling you, the Immortal Master's methods are unpredictable, so we'd better just watch carefully."

"Oh, I see. Thanks, bro."

Xia Fan thanked him, then walked to Tang Ansheng and asked in a low voice: "Old man, what should we do now?"

"What can you do? Just go and queue up." Tang Ansheng said casually.

"Oh." Xia Fan replied, and at the same time asked, "What about you, old man?"

"Don't worry about me, just go get in line first."

"Oh fine."

Xia Fan walked towards the team of people under 20 years old. He was only 16 years old, so naturally he was within the age limit.

When we arrived at the other side of the team, government officials came over to ask questions.

"Name, age, where are you from?"

"Xia Fan, sixteen, from Shijia Village." Xia Fan answered honestly.

"Well, go get in line there."

After the official registered his name and age, an officer came out and pulled him to the back of the queue.

Xia Fan looked back and saw another new person coming and asked the same question.

But not everyone is so simple. When a burly man with a big waist and untidy beard came here, the person who was interrogating him asked him several times.

Finally, after constant warnings and questioning, he let the other party go.

"It seems that if your appearance and figure are suitable for those under 20 years old, you can pass the first screening quickly."

"If you look old, even if you are under 20 years old, you will be questioned and warned many times by the government officials."

Come to think of it, government officials probably don't have the means to identify one's real age. Only immortals have that ability.

"In order to prevent the immortals from being disturbed, the government has taken great pains."

Xia Fan felt the power of the immortals before he even embarked on the path to immortality.

He looked to the other side, feeling worried, "I don't know where the old man went. It would be good if I didn't pass the screening, but it would be troublesome if I did."

"I heard from them that if you pass the selection and become an immortal master, you must leave the mundane world and go to another world to practice. It will take who knows how many years before you come back."

"By then, how will the old man live alone?"

However, having said that, Xia Fan is still a teenager after all, and deep in his heart he still has a desire to cultivate immortality.

He has been in Liuzhen, in Shijia Village, this small world for more than ten years. He doesn't know what the world outside is like, but he wants to know.

"Ha, what am I thinking? With my qualifications, I'm afraid I have nothing."

Xia Fan was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw an acquaintance stepping onto the stage.

"Isn't this the dean's daughter, Miss Liu Ruyan? I wonder if she can pass the Ascension Ceremony."

On the stage, the Taoist boy looked at the names on the list, paused slightly, and then shouted in a louder tone than before:

"Ms. Liu Ruyan, please come forward."

The Taoist boy's tone was not as casual as before, but instead full of respect.

Even the way she addressed him had an extra word "please" and "Miss Liu" compared to others.

Because he remembered this person, she was Senior Brother Liu Anliu's biological sister.

And Senior Brother Liu Anliu is a genius from the outer sect!

Liu Ruyan, wearing a gorgeous long dress, walked forward leisurely. Although her movements were slow, no one around her, whether the Taoist children or the stationed soldiers, dared to hurry her.

Even the people in the audience held their breath, wanting to see if this genius from the martial arts academy could pass the screening.

Liu Ruyan slowly stretched out her fair right hand and gently pressed it on the Immortal Stone. Suddenly, the Immortal Stone, which had been silent, shone brightly.

Two rays of light, one red and one blue, instantly climbed up from the bottom of the stone. In just a blink of an eye, they had crossed half of the stone. Not long after, they reached two-thirds of the stone, and only then did they gradually slow down.

Finally slowly approaching the top.

The Taoist boy standing by was dumbfounded watching this scene. The common people below didn't know what this meant, but he knew.

"Boom!"

A senior brother in the audience knocked on the table to remind him, and the Taoist boy came to his senses and shouted with almost all his strength:

"Ms. Liu Ruyan, with dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, passed the test!"

When they heard that the test had been passed, the audience suddenly became noisy.

There were even gong and drum bands that had been prepared nearby and began to play and beat the instruments.

Noisy voices of congratulations rang out all around. Liu Ruyan stood on the stage, looking down, but her face showed no emotion, as if she had known the result for a long time.

"Miss Liu, please come this way." A true outer disciple of Huashen Sect hurried forward to respond.

"Ah."

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly and then walked to the other side.

She knew that from this moment on, she was no longer the so-called genius of the martial arts academy, but the immortal cultivation genius Liu Ruyan.

Below the ring, Xia Fan was completely dumbfounded watching this scene.

Tang Ansheng, who was not far away, was watching silently. His gaze did not linger on Liu Ruyan's eyes at all, but was staring at the Immortal Stone.

"Two lights of different colors are lit up. What is the principle behind this?"

"One red and one green correspond to the dual spiritual roots of fire and wood. Judging from how much these people value it, this Liu Ruyan should be a genius."

“But how do you test it?”

"There are too few samples at the moment, so I need to observe them more. It would be best if I could touch them myself."

Tang Ansheng's current body is dead. If he wants to pass the test of the Ascension Ceremony, he can only resort to some "devious ways".

…………

At the top of the restaurant not far from the arena, Wei Tao, He Wei and others were staring at the test below. When they saw Liu Ruyan passed the test, City Lord He Wei was the first to bow and say:

"Congratulations to Dean Liu, congratulations to Junior Brother Liu."

The dean of the martial arts academy, Liu Tongzhi, waved his hand and said, "Thank you, City Lord."

"Not at all." He Wei said quickly, "Even if I saw it for the second time, I still felt like I was in a dream."

Yes, this was not Liu Ruyan’s first test, but her second test. The first qualification test was conducted yesterday.

Not only her, but also the Dean of the Martial Academy Liu Zhidong and his wife were tested yesterday.

After all, he is Liu An's blood relative, and Wei Tao is not a conservative person. Of course, he opened the back door directly and tested it yesterday.

However, among all the people who took the test, only Liu Ruyan was qualified. But even so, everyone, including Wei Tao, was shocked.

"Well, my sister's qualifications are much better than mine." Liu An said.

Liu Ruyan was born to his parents the year he ran away from home. Although he had never met her before, they had similar blood running through their bodies. As soon as Liu An saw this little sister, he fell in love with her.

"Junior Sister Liu's qualifications are the best among all the people I have ever seen."

Wei Tao had a look of joy in his eyes, and said, "In the past hundred years, among the new recruits we have recruited, there are no more than one handful who can surpass Junior Sister Liu in terms of aptitude alone."

"Ah, is it so good?" asked Liu Zhitong, the dean of the Martial Academy.

He just heard others say that his daughter was talented, but he didn't know exactly how talented she was.

Listening to it now, it seems like heaven has risen.
