Half a pillar of incense has passed the assessment of burning gold and breaking the chain, looking at the situation of the seven people, Ding Yang was the first to complete it because he chose a moderate chain. However, he did not leave the scene, but waited for the "miracle" to appear.

Su Xiangdi possessed the Golden Silk Ape Fire, and then urged the original form of the Danhuo, and soon burned off the bright silver layer, revealing a golden yellow. He Lingxuan, Gao Zhixun, and Dai Yangbo's Red Flame Lion Fire is second to the Golden Silk Ape Fire, and it takes a little longer. Because of the re-selection, Shi Yong is still stuck in the black layer.

As for Xu Jinghuai, he was a little troublesome, he didn't dare to urge the original form of the snow lotus fire, so he still stayed in the silver layer. Seeing this, Ding Yang admonished: "You better choose a thinner one!" Anyway, I'll give you the bottom. ”

Xu Jinghuai breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking to himself, his Dan technique was not as good as Su Xiangdi and the others, if he couldn't establish an advantage in the front, the gap would get bigger and bigger when he was refining the Dan in the back. At that time, let alone the top leader, even the top three may not be able to enter.

He looked at Zhuo Hongyuan on the stage, Zhuo Hongyuan smiled and stretched out a finger. The meaning is obvious, if Xu Jinghuai can't get the top prize, he needs to accompany her for a thousand years.

Xu Jinghuai's eyelids jumped, and he looked at the others again, and found that in addition to Shi Yong, Su Xiangdi and the other four had already begun to calcinate the third layer. Xu Jinghuai's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to be opportunistic. At this moment, Shi Yong burned off the black skin, and the fragments fell off and hit the Danhuo. Suddenly, cracks appeared in the fragments.

Xu Jinghuai looked at the cracks on the fragments, and a thought flashed through his mind. He first controlled three strands of Dan Fire to calcinate around the chain, and then controlled the fourth strand of Dan Fire to hit the chain. Seeing this, the others followed suit, and even Ding Yang picked a thicker chain again.

Su Xiangdi's Golden Silk Ape Fire is already superior to others, and coupled with Xu Jinghuai's opportunistic methods, the effect is very significant. After a while, cracks appeared on the golden inner layer of the chain. Su Xiangdi smiled, looked at Xu Jinghuai, and praised: "Brother Jinghuai is really smart. ”

Dai Yangbo also achieved results, looked at Xu Jinghuai, and praised: "Brother Jinghuai is really smart. ”

He Lingxuan was playful, and said in the tone of the first two: "Brother Jinghuai is really smart. ”

Shi Yong was not familiar with Xu Jinghuai, and he was relatively shy, so he only nodded slightly. Gao Zhixun saw that everyone else had said it, and thought to himself that he couldn't be unsociable, so he said to Xu Jinghuai: "Brother Jinghuai......"

However, before he finished speaking, he heard Xu Jinghuai scold: "Shut up." ”

Gao Zhixun snorted and didn't speak again. He Lingxuan smiled, looked at Xu Jinghuai, and teased: "Don't be angry, little man, don't you still have hole cards?" ”

Xu Jinghuai didn't have time to pay attention to her, and was thinking about what to do with the third layer. Obviously, this should be the last layer, and the inside must be solid, and it is not very effective to rely on Dan fire alone.

Soon, half a cup of tea passed, and Su Xiangdi successfully burned the chain.

The examiner announced: Su Xiangdi was completed, and his grades were first-class.

It didn't take long for He Lingxuan, Gao Zhixun, and Dai Yangbo to complete it in turn. After the three of them left, Shi Yong also burned the chain.

The examiner announced: Shi Yong is complete, and the grade is lower than the first class.

Until this time, Xu Jinghuai and Ding Yang were left on the field. Ding Yang felt that he couldn't finish it, and was about to give up, so he heard Xu Jinghuai say: "Don't worry, you follow my method." ”

After speaking, adjust the position of the Danhuo, first let the three Danhuo concentrate under the chain, and then adjust the fourth Danhuo to the top of the chain. Then keep the three lower strands of Danhuo still, and hit the top of the chain with the fourth stream of Danhuo violently. After that, rotate 90 degrees and repeat the operation every time you hit it.

Although Ding Yang didn't understand it very well, he believed in Xu Jinghuai, so he calcined the golden inner layer according to this method. After about half a cup of tea, he succeeded in breaking the chain.

The examiner announced: Ding Yang is completed, and the best result will be taken, and the first class will be lower.

Ding Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Jinghuai, but found that his situation was not optimistic. The reason is that the chain chosen is too thick.

The chain has three layers, a black skin, a silver outer and a gold inner layer. The black skin makes up about half of the total, the silver outer layer makes up about three-fifths of the total, and the rest is the golden inner layer. In the case of the chain Xu Jinghuai, for example, the golden inner layer is about the thickness of an adult's wrist, which is not only very hard but also extremely resistant to burning.

Xu Jinghuai understands that the current strength of the Dan Fire alone cannot burn the chain, and even if it can be burned, the time is not enough. Faced with such a dilemma, he thought that it would be impossible not to cheat. At the moment, first mobilize the fire aura and calcine the chain under the cover of the Danhuo. Then urge the golden aura to wear down the strength of the chain.

However, after all, it was the Danshi Conference in Xuancheng, and how could his cheating escape the eyes of those big shots. The first to be discovered was the county guard Pang Bo, who happened to be the Dharma cultivator of the two systems of gold and fire. However, he thought that Xu Jinghuai cheated because the quality of Danhuo was too poor, so he didn't say anything.

The second one she found was Xia Yuan, she was happy, picked up a cup of tea, and tasted it carefully.

The third one who discovered was Zhuo Hongyuan, not because of how high her cultivation was, but because she had been observing Xu Jinghuai carefully. After discovering his cheating, he wanted to expose it, but after thinking about it, if he exposed it at this time, wouldn't he not be able to see the knife skills he taught? So I chose to be silent. As for Zhuo Yunxiao, she looked depressed, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to anything else.

The fourth discovery was He Wenbai, who noticed that Xu Jinghuai's Dan Fire contained a spiritual fire. I wondered in my heart, it stands to reason that as long as Xu Jinghuai urges the original form of Danhuo, it will be easy to burn the chain, why do you have to cheat?

Vice President Zhuang Xinrong also noticed it, and just as he was about to get up to stop him, he saw He Wenbai shaking his head and signaling him to be restless. Zhuang Xinrong said: "He's cheating, if he doesn't stop it, won't he be laughed at?" ”

He Wenbai replied: "Do you think they can't find out? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Since the guests are silent, why should we, as hosts, do anything else?"

When Zhuang Xinrong heard this, he looked at the others, and they all seemed to know, but they didn't say it. He wondered in his heart, what is the identity of this Xu Jinghuai? How could these big names be involved?

In the examination room, Xu Jinghuai had a solemn face, and constantly increased the output of golden aura. Finally, before the last bit of incense burned out, the chain broke. Xu Jinghuai breathed a sigh of relief, this was too dangerous. Originally, he could have used this method earlier, but he was afraid that several other people would find out and expose himself.

However, the examiner did not immediately announce his results, but looked at He Wenbai with some embarrassment. He Wenbai shook his head slightly, signaling him not to make a noise. With doubts, the assessor announced: "Xu Jinghuai is finished, and his grades are first-class." ”

Xu Jinghuai bowed to the assessor and walked down. Su Xiangdi took a step forward and wondered, "Why didn't Brother Jinghuai urge the original form of Danhuo?" ”

Xu Jinghuai pretended to be conceited, and said angrily: "I don't need it." ”

Su Xiangdi nodded and continued to ask, "I don't know what the quality of Brother Jinghuai's Danhuo is?" ”

Xu Jinghuai turned his head and said unconvinced: "It's a little worse than yours." ”

"Is it also the Red Flame Lion Fire?" Su Xiangdi pretended to be curious.

Xu Jinghuai sneered in his heart, this guy is really deliberately digging a pit for himself. However, he has been wandering for many years, and no one has ever seen him. He replied immediately: "No, the Red Flame Lion Fire is burning at all." ”

Su Xiangdi wanted to ask again, but saw Xu Jinghuai running towards Weng Zhuyue. The two tugged and pulled and behaved intimately. Su Xiangdi naturally saw that Weng Zhuyue was in good shape, and he was happy in his heart, waiting for the next stage of assessment.

Weng Zhuyue saw that Xu Jinghuai was unusual, and understood what he was trying to hide. At the moment, she is very cooperative in playing the role of a tsundere girl. After some fighting, Xu Jinghuai asked curiously: "What did you talk to He Lingxuan about before?" ”

Weng Zhuyue glanced at He Lingxuan, and said mysteriously: "Do you also want to know the secrets between women?" ”

Xu Jinghuai touched his chin and teased: "I even know how many moles you have, what other secrets do you have that I can't know?" ”

"The body is just a skin, and women in the world are the same, but the heart is different."

"No, no, no, you're much more than the average woman."

Weng Zhuyue looked down, straightened up, and said proudly: "Big is a kind of capital." ”

Xu Jinghuai put away the joke and said seriously: "After the Danshi Conference is over, I will leave Xuancheng." When the time comes, you will find a way to catch up with He Lingxuan and solve your cultivation problems. ”

"You're going to leave me behind?" Weng Zhuyue's eyes stared at Xu Jinghuai.

"Heh... I never had your intention with me. ”

"I sent you family exercises, and you did this to me?"

"Please, please make it clear, I will help you understand the sacrifice of the deceased on a windy, snowy and cold night, which is already a repayment." Xu Jinghuai said indifferently.

"You're heartless."

"I don't have to live now." Seeing what Weng Zhuyue was about to say, he interrupted, "Okay, before I leave, I will give you a spirit stone, which is enough for you for three years." ”

Weng Zhuyue didn't say anything more, because she knew that the heart of the man in front of her couldn't hold a little love. Perhaps, only the abundant cultivation resources can cause waves in his heart.

After a short break, the examiner announced the official start of the second phase, which consisted of processing materials. The detailed rules are as follows:

The examiner will provide 12 material sheets with different contents, which are divided into A, B, C and three classes according to difficulty, each with four copies, and each material list has six kinds of natural materials and earth treasures. Candidates will choose one copy and process the materials as required.

After a stick of incense, the assessor will rate them according to the list of materials they have chosen and the quantity they have processed. For example, select a list of first-class materials, process six kinds of Jiajia, process five kinds of Jiajia, and process four kinds of Jiaxia. If there are not enough four, declare failure. As for the latter two, it is similar to that, you need to deal with more than three to score.

After getting the material list, the seven people carefully selected the ones they were sure of. After Gao Zhixun read it, he protested. He believed that these materials had all been out of the category of the Yellow Order, and some of them even belonged to the Ground Rank Pills.

The assessor reprimanded: "It's not difficult, how to rate?" If you do not wish to participate, you may abstain. ”

Gao Zhixun looked around and found that everyone else had already picked out. Puzzled, he asked, "Are you so sure?" ”

Su Xiangdi smiled and explained, "Everyone is a Yellow Rank Nine Rank Dan Master, who has handled these materials?" ”

Gao Zhixun was right when he thought about it, and picked a list of materials that he was slightly familiar with. The examiner asked them to go to the corresponding table according to the number of the local branch, and the required materials were already prepared on the table.

Xu Jinghuai chose the number of the snake, and the six materials were Wen Shenmu, Phantom Sound Vine, Leopard Pattern Flowing Flower, Three-eyed Blue-eyed Snake, Amber Turquoise, and Seven Star Leaf Spirit Flower.

Ding Yang chose the noon horse number, and after he saw the materials on Xu Jinghuai's table, his mouth grew big, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence. "Did you choose First Class?"

Xu Jinghuai looked at him and smiled: "That's right, it's first-class, aren't you?" ”

Ding Yang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that you are the only one who chose the first grade." ”

After Xu Jinghuai heard this, he looked at the others and found that except for Shi Yongxuan's C-grade, the rest were B-class. He turned to look at He Lingxuan on the left and asked, "Why don't you choose the first grade?" ”

He Lingxuan held a special ice blade in her hand, stuck out her tongue and said, "I won't be as self-conscious as someone." ”

Xu Jinghuai looked at Su Xiangdi in front of him again and asked, "Don't you choose the first class either?" ”

Su Xiangdi turned around and said with a smile: "I have read the list of first-class materials, and the most sure ones can only deal with three." ”

Xu Jinghuai wondered in his heart, he felt that the first-class materials were not difficult? Just when he was puzzled, Zhuo Hongyuan flew down from the stage and came to him. After glancing at the materials, he encouraged: "Huai'er, if such a simple ingredient can't be taken first-class, my sister will leave something on your body and make wine for the drunkard to drink." ”

Xu Jinghuai felt a chill in his lower body, pulled a smile and said, "Sister... Don't scare me, I'm cowardly. ”

Zhuo Hongyuan tugged at his ear, pointed to the materials on the table and said, "Didn't I teach you these things?" ”

Xu Jinghuai couldn't laugh anymore, and said with a bitter face: "Sister... It's not the same. ”

"What's the difference?"

Xu Jinghuai slowly lifted the bill of materials. Zhuo Hongyuan saw it, let go of his hand, coughed and said, "Actually, it's all about the same, you behave well, don't embarrass me." After saying that, he flew to the stage without looking back.

After a short break, Zhuo Yunxiao's mood eased a lot. Seeing Xu Jinghuai's amazing performance, a thought moved in his heart. said to Zhuo Hongyuan: "He has only been learning from you for more than two days, don't embarrass him." ”

Zhuo Hongyuan nodded first, and then complained: "I don't know which idiot thought of it, so can you still eat it?" ”

After Zhuang Xinrong heard this, his face was gloomy and he said, "That's for alchemy, not ingredients." ”

Xia Yuan drank tea, and when she heard this, she burst out laughing. Because he laughed too suddenly, he choked on the tea. Seeing this, Zhuo Hongyuan snorted and muttered in a low voice: "It's better to choke you to death." ”

Xia Yuan put down the teacup, looked at Zhuo Hongyuan, and played with a playful face: "If I choke to death, then who will bring a letter to your brother?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhuo Hongyuan asked.

Xia Yuan stared at Zhuo Yunxiao and said, "It is rumored that someone was killed by the Snow Knife Ancestor, but I didn't expect to hide in the Drunken Immortal Residence. ”

Zhuo Yunxiao smiled bitterly and explained: "I did meet the Snow Knife Ancestor back then, but I was rescued by the owner of the Drunken Immortal Residence in Selangor, and I escaped by luck. ”

"Really? Then you can disappear without saying a word and let my sister blame herself for hundreds of years? Xia Yuan asked.

Zhuo Yunxiao sighed and said, "I was a waste of cultivation back then, really... Goodbye to your sister! As he spoke, he took the bottle and poured it.

Zhuo Hongyuan snatched the wine bottle and said sharply: "If she really has a heart, she will not marry." ”

"It's my eldest sister who is married, and my second sister is still in retreat and penance, thinking about avenging someone."

"Is that true?" Zhuo Yunxiao was surprised and delighted.

"Really? If she saw the jade-faced Yanling knife in the past, but now she has become a drunkard, how much she should regret it. ”

"My brother drinks for a reason."

"Joke, what can be the reason for drinking?"

Zhuo Hongyuan was just about to explain, but was stopped by Zhuo Yunxiao's eyes. Xia Yuan felt that this matter was not simple, and said: "After the Danshi Conference is over, I will go to you, and you had better give me a reasonable explanation when the time comes." Otherwise, the news of your life would never reach my sister's ears. ”

Zhuo Yunxiao smiled, pointed to Xu Jinghuai in the audience and asked, "Have you seen him?" ”

"I've seen it, and I've made a bet."

"What bet?" Zhuo Hongyuan said curiously.

"I destroyed his spear, and agreed that after seven hundred years, if he can advance to the rank of sixth-grade spear immortal, he will be compensated for a divine weapon." Seeing Zhuo Hongyuan's strange expression, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhuo Hongyuan suddenly laughed out loud and explained: "Then he is really miserable, it is estimated that the spear he just bought was destroyed by me before it was hot." ”

Zhuo Yunxiao said with emotion: "It's really not easy to suffer such a setback at such a young age!" ”

Zhuo Hongyuan looked at his brother and asked curiously, "How did you meet him?" ”

"It's funny, too, that he saw through the mystery I had put on the pear blossom twilight wine, so I asked the man to keep an eye on him. Three days ago, he came to the Drunken Immortal Residence, just in time for President He to invite me to participate in the Danshi Conference. At that time, he actually wanted to learn sword skills and alchemy, so I made a joke with President He. ”

The conversation between the three of them was not deliberately concealed, and others could naturally hear it. He Wenbai had a rough judgment about Xu Jinghuai's identity, and guessed that he should have met these people by chance. At the moment, he said to Zhuo Yunxiao: "For now, this son has an excellent talent in Danshu. ”

"Hmph, I think it's an opportunistic talent... Excellent. The last two words, Zhuang Xinrong deliberately accentuated his tone.

Zhuo Yunxiao retorted: "Vice President Zhuang's words are wrong. As far as I know, these people on the field have good backgrounds, especially that Su Xiangdi. Since he can tie for the first place, it is enough to prove his talent in Danjutsu. ”

"It's too early to say this, the real test of Dan Shu is still to come."

"Okay, let's wait and see."

The county guard Pang Bo is a little embarrassed here. It stands to reason that he manages Pinghua County, and his status is naturally noble, but he knows very little about Danshu, and he doesn't know much about the seven candidates in the field. However, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he said some scene words to He Wenbai. It is roughly to praise He Wenbai's good management, which has made Danxie talents.

He Wenbai was a little embarrassed to hear it, after all, he had prepared twelve positions, but he didn't expect that there were only seven left. In fact, the second game is not difficult, as long as you are not greedy, you can get the second class at worst. The third scene is similar, the second-class chain does not have a gold inner layer.

Therefore, according to his estimate, after the end of the first stage, there should be about fifteen Dan masters. When the time comes, remove the poor grades, and keep the twelve. Who would have thought that Gao Zhixun's words would directly eliminate most of them.
