The entire East Fence Courtyard is not big, only one hall with eight rooms, and a few people can't think clearly for a while after the freshness has passed, so they go back to their rooms to rest first.

Because the whole cave is like day, they can't feel the change of time, so several people are very unaccustomed to it, and they can't rest well, so they can only rely on their own habits to go with the flow.

Ye Chen returned to the room and began to think about the mystery of this so-called "Qunying Cave". Visually, it doesn't look like a cave at all, but like a big palace, with palaces and courtyards in the buildings, trees and furnishings on the road, and the only difference is that no one else appeared along the way.

Apparently, this cave was dedicated to entertaining outsiders, and the inhabitants of the island had other accommodations. Unexpectedly, even if they went to the island, they outsiders still couldn't really get in touch with the Vortex Island.

This arrangement makes Vortex Island even more mysterious.

Judging from this cave, Ye Chen gradually began to believe in his heart that this island should have something to do with Emperor Lei Yuan.

For Ye Chen, the more mysterious the Vortex Island was, the more it piqued his interest. If he comes, he will be safe, and he will see what other surprises Vortex Island can give him.

I don't know how long it took, the woman in white arrived at the East Fence Courtyard again, and at this time, Ye Chen and the others had already gathered in the hall, and they felt a little uncomfortable in isolation, unable to rest or cultivate quietly.

Seeing that everyone was there, the woman in white smiled and said, "Young Master Ye, it's almost time, please go to the Star Picking Tower with me." ”

Seeing that the woman in white only gestured to herself, she asked, "What about them?"

"It's good that a few seniors of the Meng family continue to rest here, and when Ye Gongzi comes out of the Star Picking Tower, he can know where he will go next. The woman in white explained to several people.

Ye Chen nodded, and immediately understood in his heart that this trip to the Star Picking Tower was definitely not as simple as seeing, so he followed the woman in white and prepared to leave.

When the two of them just walked out of the courtyard gate, Luo Hongling suddenly followed and shouted to the woman in white: "Big sister, I'm panicking here, can you take me with you?"

Although she saw Luo Hongling's big eyes blinking and looking pitiful, the woman in white still just shook her head.

Seeing this, Luo Hongling was a little disappointed and said, "Then can you tell me how to tell the time here?" ”

At this time, the woman in white pointed to the northwest direction and said, "Have you seen a big palace over there?"

Looking along the hand of the woman in white, Luo Hongling really saw a splendid palace far away, even though it was far away, she could feel that the palace must be extremely majestic.

The woman in white continued, "That palace is the central hall here, and if you look closely, there is a huge strip above the main hall called the 'Hour Ruler'. ”

Luo Hongling nodded again.

"There are twelve squares on the scale, corresponding to the twelve hours, and now the fifth square shines brightly, which is the hour. ”

Ye Chen was actually very curious about this question, and followed Luo Hongling to look at the central hall, and after listening to the introduction of the woman in white, he showed a look of sudden realization.

After speaking, the woman in white turned around and prepared to take Ye Chen to continue leaving, perhaps poor Luo Hongling, and left a word before leaving. "If Ye Gongzi behaves very well or very badly, you will soon be bored. ”

Although Ye Chen thought that something not simple should happen in the Star Picking Tower, he still couldn't hear the reason from this clueless sentence, so he could only follow with his head down.

On the way to the Star Picking Tower, Ye Chen finally saw people except for himself and the woman in white, most of them were young and middle-aged men, and a few white-haired old men appeared, all of whom were led by a woman in front.

It seems that the Vortex Island Lord's recruitment of relatives does not have a limit on age, which is really interesting, Ye Chen thought so.

Walking and walking, Ye Chen arrived at a six-storey wooden building, each floor has four cornices stretching outward, from the bottom to the top, the eaves are getting smaller and smaller, and the top of the wooden building is carved with an unknown beast squatting, faintly swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

The plaque of the wooden building has the words "Star Picking Tower" written on it, and it looks as if there are really stars emerging. What a word, what an atmospheric building, Ye Chen admired in his heart.

Ye Chen followed the woman in white into the Star Picking Tower, only to see that there was an upward staircase to the left and right of the door, which had been divided into seventy-two areas by number, and a man was sitting cross-legged in each area.

One level further up, the same structure, but only forty-eight areas, were already full.

Further up, thirty-six areas, equally full.

The woman in white said softly: "Ye Gongzi came a little late, and he was not very lucky. "Obviously, I was a little worried about Ye Chen.

Going all the way up, when you reach the fifth floor, there are no empty seats in the twelve areas of the fifth floor. The woman in white led Ye Chen to an uninhabited area and said: "Ye Gongzi can sit cross-legged here, and when everyone arrives, someone will explain the situation to Gongzi, I will wait outside, and wish Ye Gongzi good luck." ”

After saying that, the woman in white turned around and went downstairs. Although Ye Chen was curious, since he had nowhere to ask, he could only wait and see, and immediately sat down cross-legged and maintained his best condition.

Not long after Ye Chen closed his eyes, a man's voice suddenly appeared in his head, obviously communicating with him through his divine soul.

"Everyone, don't panic, don't open your eyes, I'm Zhuang Lingxiao, the elder of Vortex Island, and I will meet you in the form of a divine soul transmission at this moment, and explain why I invited you to pick up the Star Tower today. ”

"Everyone here is from the Warrior Continent or the East China Sea Islands, and they want to participate in my Vortex Island's recruitment competition. Although you have come here in accordance with the conditions for participating in the recruitment, because of the large number of people, it will take a lot of waves to start recruiting relatives before the official start of recruitment. ”

Hearing this, Ye Chen obviously understood that what was waiting for him was a screening test, which did not make him have anything to worry about. But what surprised him was Zhuang Lingxiao, who was speaking in his mind at this time.

Being able to accurately use the power of the divine soul to deliver news to everyone in the Star Picking Tower is not a skill that ordinary kings can have, and Ye Chen has a deeper understanding of the strength of Vortex Island at this time.

In his mind, Zhuang Lingxiao continued: "To participate in the recruitment, the requirements are at least three masters: Yin, Dan, and Shu. ”

"Don't be nervous, just continue to sit where you are, relax and listen to a piece of music, and today's assessment is over. ”

Do you use music to assess? I used to play it for others, but today it's my turn to enjoy it? Ye Chen's heart was interesting, and he began to look forward to it.

While waiting, a series of trills appeared, startling people into instant alertness, Ye Chen felt that bursts of flute sounds seemed to come from above the nine heavens, grabbing the heartstrings of the listeners.

I only heard the sound of the flute, which kept jumping, which made people's thoughts fluctuate and their heartbeat gradually accelerated.

The flute beat tightly, as if it was going to drag people's spirits into the air, and everyone was on guard, not knowing what other means would appear in the future.

When everyone's state of spirit was tense, and the heartbeat beat was beating rapidly with the rhythm step by step, and it was about to explode, a string of glissandos blew out, and the melody suddenly became extremely soft.

The spirit and spirit that everyone had accumulated could not find the target in an instant, as if a punch with all their strength hit the cotton, making people breathe and suffocating, and the spirit and spirit were immediately discharged.
