C1361 Xingwu Tea House
Not only did it accommodate so many of them, it even built a small stage in front of them.
After waiting for a while, an elder walked onto the stage, coughed a few times, and said, “I am the Elder Wu Xueming of Xingwu College, it is my pleasure to meet all of you, and I hope that all of you will become Xingwu College’s disciples.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “This examination is divided into two parts. The first is the written examination, which is naturally about alchemy knowledge. Alchemy includes pharmacology and the Symbol Literature. I think everyone is clear about this. “Second, the main point is to test everyone’s mental strength. Only when you pass these two tests can you become a disciple of our academy. We will now begin the written test. Everyone, please take your seats and wait for us to issue the test.”
Following which, a few people dressed in Xingwu College uniform came over to issue their questions.
After the questions were posted, the originally noisy Xing Wu Inn quieted down. Everyone began to answer seriously.
Taking the exam questions, Lin Long swept his gaze across them and discovered that there were a total of 100 of them.
These were naturally all questions related to pharmacology and Symbol Literature. Since Lin Long was able to refine a Level One Qi Pills, answering these questions was naturally easy.
However, in order to not appear so special, he only answered eighty of the questions seriously, while he filled in a random list of the remaining twenty.
According to his previous understanding, answering sixty questions was enough, so answering eighty of them was enough.
“Alright, time’s up. Hand in your paper.” An hour later, Scholar Wu’s voice sounded again.
The examinees naturally began handing in their papers one by one.
Lin Long realized that among the many examinees inside, other than a few who looked depressed, most of them had smiles plastered on their faces. It was clear that these hundred questions were not difficult at all, and to most people, it was very easy.
After taking the exam papers, Elder Wu said, “Next up, we will begin the second part of the exam.” After collecting the exam papers, Elder Wu said, “Next up, we will begin the second part of the exam.
As Elder Wu spoke, two disciples of Xingwu College carried an object that looked like a drum made of white jade onto the stage.
“This is the spiritual power testing jade drum. This is the first time I’ve seen it.” When they saw what was on the stage, the surrounding examinees all exclaimed in this manner.
Then, Elder Wu’s voice sounded again, “Liu Ming.”
The examinee called Liu Ming quickly walked up the stage.
This was a somewhat bashful looking youth. After he walked onto the stage, he followed the instructions of Elder Wu and placed both of his hands on the jade drum.
“Activate your spiritual force to sense the jade drum!” As he placed his hand on the jade drum, Elder Wu continued speaking.
Liu Ming quickly circulated his Spiritual Energy. A moment later, a white light began to flash on the jade drum.
The light only disappeared after flashing for a while.
Looking at this white light, Elder Wu said expressionlessly, “Your spiritual energy is ordinary.”
“Then Elder Wu, can I enter the Xingwu College now?” Liu Ming asked anxiously.
“Sure, you can enter the Xingwu College with normal mental energies.” Elder Wu said.
“That’s great.” Upon hearing Elder Wu’s words, Liu Ming immediately became extremely excited.
However, the next sentence of Elder Wu poured a bucket of cold water on him. Elder Wu said, “However, the chances of an ordinary Mental Energy being able to become a powerful alchemist is very small.”
Hearing this, Liu Ming’s face immediately revealed a disappointed expression.
Seeing him like this, Elder Wu continued, “Although his talent is a bit poor, but as long as you work hard, you still have hope of becoming a powerful alchemist. I am an example, so don’t be discouraged.”
These words ignited hope on Liu Ming’s face again.
Not just him, many people below the stage were the same. It was clear that most people knew their own limitations.
“After stimulating the jade drum with spiritual energy, the jade drum may show white, blue, red, and purple colors. White is a normal talent, blue is a medium talent, red is a high talent, and purple is a top grade talent!”
The moment these words were spoken, the youths present immediately began to discuss with each other.
“I’ll be happy if you give me a mid-tier talent.” Most of them said this.
Only a few wished to possess superior talent.
“Am I going to be super gifted?” Some even said such words.
“Do you think it’s so easy to attain superior talent? Tianwu Academy has been built for so many years, yet you’ve never heard of anyone possessing superior talent. Even the most outstanding talents are only superior talent. What virtue or abilities do you have?” Upon hearing this, some people on the side scoffed.
“Is that so?” Upon hearing this, the person who said those words before immediately felt embarrassed.
“Alright, next, Li Tao.” Scholar Wu shouted again.
The youth called Li Tao quickly walked up the stage and placed his hands on the jade drum to channel his spiritual energy. But what made his expression turn ugly was that the jade drum did not have any reaction.
“Elder Wu, what’s going on?” Li Tao could not help but ask Elder Wu.
“This is because your spiritual energy is simply not enough to stimulate the jade drum. In other words, your spiritual energy is not enough to become an alchemist.” Elder Wu shook his head.
Li Tao’s face turned ashen, but, he continued, “Then, can I enter the Xingwu College?”
He still had some hope, but Elder Wu still shook his head, “No.”
“But, Elder Wu, my written test will definitely get full marks.” Li Tao said unwillingly.
“A perfect score is useless.” Elder Wu said.
“It’s just that …” Li Tao wanted to say something, but Elder Wu ordered someone to bring Li Tao away.
This was the cruelty of alchemy. No matter how strong one was, one’s Mental Energy was useless. Seeing this situation, most people sighed in their hearts.
“Next, Luo Xiaoxiao.” Then, Elder Wu shouted.
Time slowly passed. Unknowingly, more than a hundred people had already tested those eighty people. Among those eighty people, only a few were like Li Tao. It was clear that most people had a good idea of whether they had mental strength or not, unlike Li Tao.
As for those who passed, most of them only had normal spiritual energy, and only a dozen of them had medium talent. As for high level talents, there was actually not a single person.
This situation caused Scholar Wu and several other elders to shake their heads in disappointment.
As elders of the Xingwu College, they naturally hoped for a youth with outstanding talent.
“Next, Yu Zhi.”
Following Elder Wu’s voice, a youth named Yu Zhi walked onto the stage.
This youth had an unsmiling expression. He was wearing coarse clothes and looked like he came from the Humble Class.
Like the others, he placed his hands on the jade drum. After a moment, to everyone’s astonishment, the color of the jade drum suddenly turned red.
“Oh my god, I didn’t expect this Yu Zhi to have such a high level talent!”
“He will definitely soar to greatness in the future!”
“I’m really envious of him. If I had such a high level talent, even if I were as poor as him, I would still be willing!”
For a time, the youths present couldn’t help but sigh. Their faces were filled with envy and jealousy.
Wu Xueke and the other elders, who were originally tense, also revealed a smile.
Only one of the youths had a disdainful look on his face. “Tsk, it’s just a high-level talent. What are you so proud of? This young master is also a high-level talent.”
“That Yu Zhi is from a Humble Class, so what if he has a high level talent? How could he compare to you, Fan Shao?”
“That’s right, Fan Shao, your perception is superior to others. It’s not something that Yu Zhi can compare to.”
The people around the young man could not help but praise him.
When he heard such flattery, a proud expression immediately surfaced on the young man’s face.
It was at this time that Elder Wu’s voice sounded again, “Next, Fan Shaoyun!”
“Fan family’s Fan Shaoyun? I heard that he tested his talent before, and it’s a similarly enviable high level talent! ”
“That’s right, the Fan Shao!”
As soon as Elder Wu’s voice sounded, the youths at the scene started to discuss among themselves.
Amidst the discussions, a young man immediately stood up and walked forward with his head held high. It was the Fan Shao that was praised before.
At the moment, most of the people present were looking at Fan Shaoyun with envious eyes.
Once he was on stage, Fan Shaoyun said respectfully to Elder Wu, “Greetings, Elder Wu.”
“Yes.” Seeing that Fan Shaoyun was so polite, Scholar Wu could not help but smile and nod his head before extending his hand, “Shaoyun, please.”
Evidently, Elder Wu knew Fan Shaoyun.
With regards to this matter, Everyone at the scene was not surprised at all. After all, Fan Shaoyun was the Young Master of a large clan within the Xingwu City, it would be strange if Elder Wu did not know him.
Fan Shaoyun placed both of his hands on the jade drum instead. Although everyone knew that he had high innate talent, at this moment, everyone’s attention was still focused on the jade drum.
After all, they had only heard it from the rumors before and had not truly seen Fan Shaoyun’s innate talent.
A moment later, a ray of light shone on the jade drum. As expected, it was red, corresponding to a high level talent.
“High level talent!” Elder Wu immediately said with a smile.
Then, a few more people later on, it was Lin Long.
“Next, Lin Li!”
With Elder Wu’s voice, Lin Long immediately walked towards the stage.
This brat, even when he saw Yu Zhi and Fan Shaoyun with their high level talents, the expression on his face didn’t change at all. I am curious as to what kind of strength he has to actually disregard high level talents.
At this moment, this thought flashed through the minds of a youth.
Earlier, he had been sitting beside Lin Long. Seeing that Lin Long still had a relaxed appearance, he was naturally extremely curious.
