The examiner lit incense and timed, and the seven people showed their knife skills. Among them, He Lingxuan's ice blade jumped between his fingers, and everywhere the blade reached, it was broken. In addition, the cold air emitted by the skate blades can also protect the untreated parts.

After Xu Jinghuai saw it, he exclaimed: "It's really a good knife." ”

He Lingxuan smiled proudly: "That's nature, the value of this ice blade is much higher than that of the Red Flame Lion Fire." ”

Xu Jinghuai sighed and looked at the others again. The most eye-catching is Su Xiangdi, I saw him take out a patterned long sword, the tip of the sword was raised, and a silver honeydew flower rose into the air. Immediately afterwards, the sword light flashed, and the flowers, leaves, skins, stems, and roots quickly separated.

After that, he picked up a fist-sized pebble and continuously stimulated the sword qi. Pebbles leap in the air like eggs in boiling water. Soon, the outer skin that wraps the pebbles falls off, revealing a yellowish core.

Su Xiangdi caught the peeled pebbles, flipped them up and down, and calculated the order of the swords in his heart. It was then thrown into the air, followed by a torrential rain of swords. After three breaths, Su Xiangdi grabbed the plate on the table and caught the falling pebbles, no more, no less, exactly thirty-six pieces.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan praised: "What a rainstorm pear sword." ”

Zhuang Xinrong followed the conversation, glanced at Zhuo Hongyuan and said, "This is the Dan Master's method of dealing with materials. ”

However, Zhuo Hongyuan replied with a sentence that could infuriate people. "Hmph, Huajia, can he catch me with a knife?"

Zhuang Xinrong gritted his teeth in anger, the key is that he doesn't know how to refute yet. He Wenbai said calmly: "I heard that the Red Mandarin Fairy has entered the fifth grade, how can I worry about the younger generation?" ”

Zhuo Hongyuan nodded and said seriously: "As a senior, I can say very responsibly that he is a fancy show." ”

He Wenbai was dumbfounded. When the county guard Pang Bo heard that Zhuo Hongyuan had entered the fifth grade, he was shocked, and said to the guards behind him: "This is the result of your investigation?" ”

The guard explained: "My lord, Zhuo Hongyuan rarely makes a move, and the last time he fought was a hundred years ago. ”

"Then how did He Wenbai know?"

"Danxie sells pills, and the news is naturally faster."

"Don't talk this nonsense to me, your duty is to find out the strength of the cultivators in Xuan Cheng and ensure the stability of Xuan City."

"My subordinates will do their best."

However, the embarrassing thing is that the last sentence was not transmitted, but was said directly. Pang Bo scolded a fool in his heart, and said calmly on the surface: "President He's daughter is doing well!" ”

He Wenbai politely said a few words, but he was thinking about something else. Zhuo Hongyuan realized something, snorted and stopped talking.

Off the field, Gao Zhixun was unwilling to be lonely, and pulled out a meniscus golden knife to show off his knife skills. It's a pity that the show is a bit too much and doesn't meet the requirements.

The second stage of the assessment is Zhuang Xinrong's masterpiece, and he naturally knows the requirements of every natural treasure. was greatly disappointed with Gao Zhixun's performance. On the other hand, Dai Yangbo and Ding Yang use ordinary "Dan Knife", although the handling technique is not as good as Su Xiangdi, but it is more expensive.

Shi Yong's performance was quite bad. Material processing is his weakness, not that he is not talented, but because his master is a soul cultivator, so he advocates using soul thoughts to process materials. However, Shi Yong's cultivation was far from reaching that level.

As for Xu Jinghuai's approach, it is much more interesting. I saw that he first took out a large black tripod from his storage artifact, which contained a dark red fluid. Then, he urged the Danhuo to heat the Dading. Then, take out a set of chef's knives.

After Zhuo Hongyuan saw it, he looked at Zhuang Xinrong and said proudly: "This is what I specially commissioned someone to build, how about it?" Isn't it much stronger than that fancy shelf? ”

Zhuang Xinrong really wanted to sacrifice Danhuo to fight Zhuo Hongyuan, although he might not be able to beat it.

In the examination room, Xu Jinghuai observed the dark red fluid in the ding, and after it gradually turned orange, he put the phantom sound vine into it. It didn't take long for him to take out the phantom vine again, take a sharp knife from the knife holder, and began to peel and pull the skin. Although the method is not so flashy, the effect is remarkable.

In a short period of time, the phantom vine was separated from the epidermis, cortex, and woody layer. Xu Jinghuai processed different parts according to the requirements. The first is epidermal slicing, for which he changed to a slicing knife. The second is cortical striping, and he changed to a mulberry. The last and hardest part is the wooden slip.

Xu Jinghuai changed a carving knife. The carving knife is not very long, the blade part is less than an inch, and the handle is about two and a half inches. He didn't rush to do it, but played with the carving knife to warm his hands.

After He Lingxuan saw it, he teased: "Are you doing acrobatics? Look at the time. ”

Xu Jinghuai's face was calm, and the carving knife shuttled between his slender and slender fingers, and as the speed of rotation continued to increase, the carving knife was like a windmill.

He Lingxuan teased again: "It's a pity that you don't play the piano with your hands." ”

Xu Jinghuai laughed, and the carving knife suddenly took off his hand and flew towards He Lingxuan. He Lingxuan didn't have any waves in her heart, and even wanted to laugh a little. Sure enough, the carving knife turned back just as it was about to touch her. Xu Jinghuai held the wooden layer of the phantom sound vine in his hand, and the index finger of his right hand caught the flying carving knife, followed by a dazzling knife show.

On the stage, Zhuo Hongyuan puffed out his cheeks, and said angrily: "This guy actually secretly learned my finger round knife technique." ”

Zhuo Yunxiao was a little puzzled: "Didn't you teach him?" ”

"You think I'm stupid and teach him everything?"

"And how did he learn it?"

Zhuo Hongyuan was a little embarrassed and said: "I saw that he was a little unconvinced, so I demonstrated it." ”

"And then he learned?" Zhuo Yunxiao said in disbelief.

Zhuo Hongyuan crossed his hands on his hips and sighed: "His brain is like a piece of shadow jade, he will remember it after reading it once, otherwise I will not use the finger round knife method to deter him." ”

"That's not right, is it? Even if you remember the trick, but what about the luck? This always needs to be taught, right? ”

Zhuo Hongyuan thought about it for a while, and snorted angrily: "You men, every good thing. ”

Zhuo Yunxiao seemed to guess what was going on when she heard this, and said with a smile: "The mouth is as sweet as honey and charming!" ”

"Humph! I've known for a long time that you men don't have a good thing, so I've kept a few hands. ”

However, as they spoke, Xu Jinghuai had already begun to deal with the three-eyed snake. The technique used is the same as that of Zhuo Hongyuan's treatment of colorful water chestnut snakes, which was originally called the Ox Knife Method. However, after Zhuo Hongyuan finished learning, he made improvements, and the name was naturally changed, which is called the boning knife method.

Zhuo Yunxiao subconsciously moved to the side after seeing Xu Jinghuai use the boning knife technique. Sure enough, Zhuo Hongyuan patted the chair to guard, his mouth was angry, and he said angrily: "I obviously taught him the technique of solving the cow knife, but he secretly learned it, which really me off." ”

Zhuo Yunxiao comforted: "It's okay, don't you still have a flower shadow hand and a thousand weeping willows?" Seeing that Zhuo Hongyuan didn't speak, he poked his head out and asked, "Should you say it too?" ”

Zhuo Hongyuan's almond eyes widened like copper bells, turned his head to look at Zhuo Yunxiao, and complained, "It's not that you are to blame." ”

Zhuo Yunxiao nodded again and again, and admitted: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault." ”

Xia Yuan, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the brother and sister, looked at Xu Jinghuai in the audience, and fell into deep thought. Zhuang Xinrong also turned from disdain at the beginning to appreciation, because he saw that the materials handled by Xu Jinghuai were simply perfect. Even he once thought that the handling of the phantom sound vine must be a soul thought.

In the examination room, Xu Jinghuai used the boning knife method to deal with the three-eyed blue-eyed snake. After that, he put Wen Shenmu into the black tripod. Next, use the finger knife method again.

He Wenbai was a little curious: "Red Mandarin Fairy, I don't know what is inside that big ding?" ”

"The Seven Colors of Rosha."

He Wenbai had never heard of it, and asked again, "What is the effect?" ”

"Cooking."

He Wenbai looked a little embarrassed. Zhuo Yunxiao didn't want to offend He Wenbai, and explained: "The Seven Colors Hui Luosha is a dark red fluid at room temperature, and it will change color after heating. The characteristic is that the temperature remains constant for a short period of time, so the temperature can be judged more accurately based on the change of color, making it easier to handle ingredients. ”

He Wenbai nodded, but listened to Zhuo Hongyuan dismantle the stage and said, "Pure nonsense." ”

This time it was Zhuo Yunxiao's turn to be embarrassed and asked, "Isn't what I said right?" ”

"Of course not, if it's just to control the temperature, do you need to use the Seven Colors of Luosha?"

"What the hell does that do?"

"Didn't I say that? It's cooking. ”

Zhuo Yunxiao looked at He Wenbai and shrugged helplessly.

In the examination room, Su Xiangdi took the lead in completing it, and it took half a pillar of incense. The examiner checked the situation, and then announced: Su Xiangdi is complete, and the score is B.

Not long after, He Lingxuan and Gao Zhixun also completed, and their grades were both in the second class. He was followed by Ding Yang, whose grades were also second-class, after all, the handling of materials was his forte.

After Xu Jinghuai finished dealing with Wen Shenmu, he accepted the black big ding. Then use the flower shadow hand to process the leopard print flowing flowers. The overall shape of the leopard pattern flower is similar to that of the rose, but the difference is that there are many black spots on its petals, and many fine hairs grow on the black spots, hence the name leopard pattern flower.

Zhuang Xinrong's treatment of leopard print flowing flowers requires the removal of fine hairs on black spots. Due to the peculiarity of the leopard flower, once the fine hairs are plucked, the black spots will spread quickly, destroying the entire petal. Therefore, it takes a lot of speed to process the leopard flowers.

Generally speaking, Danshi uses soul thoughts to remove the short hairs on the black spots within a breath. Zhuang Xinrong did not make it too difficult for these candidates, asking them to only take half of them.

Xu Jinghuai originally planned to use the finger round knife technique, but he wanted to take the opportunity to practice the Flower Shadow Hand. The Flower Shadow Hand, as the name suggests, is known for its speed, and the afterimage of the flower falls between the shots.

Zhuo Hongyuan was surprised after seeing Xu Jinghuai use the Flower Shadow Hand: "Faster than me, how does this guy practice?" ”

Zhuo Yunxiao looked at her with some suspicion and asked, "This... I can also... Stealing? ”

Zhuo Hongyuan did not answer, but stared at Xu Jinghuai's hand carefully. Suddenly, she smirked and said, "That's not the Flower Shadow Hand, he made it up." ”

"What do you mean?"

Xia Yuan suddenly said: "It has no form, but no meaning." ”

Zhuo Yunxiao immediately understood, and said with emotion: "His current aura accumulation is indeed unable to support him to cast the Flower Shadow Hand. However, it is rare to do so to this extent. ”

Xu Jinghuai looked at the leopard print flowing flower that had completely turned black, and sighed: "Sure enough, it's still not good!" ”

When the assessor heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "Look at the requirements clearly, you only need to deal with half of it." ”

Xu Jinghuai bowed to him, and then looked at the remaining two materials, amber turquoise and seven-star leaf spirit flower. Both of these are materials for ground-level pills, and although Zhuang Xinrong relaxed the requirements, the difficulty is still not low. After some trade-offs, he chose to give up. It's not that he can't handle it, but that if he does, he exposes too many hole cards.

Seeing that he was about to give up, the assessor kindly reminded: "Amber turquoise is affected by temperature. ”

Xu Jinghuai really didn't know this, he thought that dealing with amber turquoise needed to imitate Su Xiangdi's method. If that's the case, he'll have to use the art of impermanence. And in this environment, exposing too much can lead to death.

Now, now that he has a reminder, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to score. At the moment, the four strands of Dan fire are urged to bake the amber turquoise. After about half a tea, with a pine fragrance wafting, Xu Jinghuai seized the opportunity, picked up a bone knife, and performed the boning knife technique. I saw the sword flashing, the afterimage was empty, and the blade and the amber turquoise kept making a crisp collision sound.

After three breaths, Xu Jinghuai stretched out his left palm and steadily caught the amber turquoise. It's just that his expression is a little weird, his eyebrows are pressed down, his nose is arched upward, and the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, which seems to be a sign of pain.

The assessor coughed and reminded: "If you don't put it down, it is estimated that a cloud roast meat palm will be made." ”

Xu Jinghuai maintained his demeanor and slowly placed the amber turquoise on the plate. Then, silently took out a small pill and a beauty pill and took it. After that, he sniffed with his left hand close to his nose and said to himself, "It tastes good." ”

On the stage, Zhuo Hongyuan couldn't hold back anymore, holding her stomach and laughing. Xia Yuan raised her sleeves and smiled quietly. Even the county guard Pang Bo coughed and said, "This young man is quite interesting. ”

Zhuang Xinrong flew down, came to Xu Jinghuai's side, looked at the "complete" amber turquoise, and praised: "Good boy, I really have you." ”

Xu Jinghuai took a step back, bowed down and said: "The younger generation's knife skills are clumsy, and I have no choice but to do it, I hope the seniors will understand." ”

"It's really inappropriate to use a chef's hand to handle the materials. However, in terms of results alone, you did a great job. Glancing at Changxiang, he continued, "There is still some time, hurry up and deal with the Seven Star Leaf Spirit Flower." ”

"The Seven Star Leaf Spirit Flower is too difficult, so the juniors won't waste it."

Zhuang Xinrong thought for a moment, and the voice reminded: "When dealing with the first flower, try to protect the remaining six with soul thoughts, and then seal the broken mouth with Wen Shenmu's. Remember, you have to be fast. ”

Xu Jinghuai was puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that with Zhuang Xinrong's more serious character, it would be regarded as burning incense if he didn't train himself, but now he would remind himself.

Zhuang Xinrong seemed to guess his mind and explained: "I am the vice president of the Dan Association, and I have the responsibility to train the next generation. ”

After Xu Jinghuai heard this, he bowed down sincerely. Zhuang Xinrong nodded, and reminded again: "Deal with the wood flowers first, and then deal with the water, soil, gold, and fire, as for the wind and thunder, you can't do it with your current ability." After saying that, he flew back.

He Wenbai looked at him with some surprise, and said, "You reminded him?" ”

"It's rare to meet a good seedling, and it's also a good thing to give us a long face."

"You want to take him as an apprentice?"

"That's going to depend on how he performs later."

"I have a feeling."

"What does it feel?"

"You can't keep him, or rather, he's used to being free."

"As long as he hangs the sign of our Danxie, it doesn't matter." After Zhuang Xinrong finished transmitting his voice, he looked at Xu Jinghuai.

He Wenbai understood what he meant, and this was one of the reasons why the Danshi Conference was held.

In the examination room, Xu Jinghuai looked at the Seven Star Ye Linghua, simulating the processing process in his mind. It was at this time that Shi Yong finished processing the material. Just as he was about to say to the assessor, he was stopped by Dai Yangbo. Shi Yong looked at Dai Yangbo suspiciously, Dai Yangbo first pointed to his table, and then pointed to Xu Jinghuai. Shi Yong sighed when he saw the finished materials he had processed. At this moment, it is already Xu Jinghuai's personal performance.

Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Xu Jinghuai had no plans to do it. The examiner reminded: "The time is almost up. ”

Xu Jinghuai breathed a long sigh of relief and began to move. The first step was to place seven pills dedicated to the Seven Star Leaf Spirit Flowers, and arrange them on the table according to the order of wood, water, earth, gold, fire, wind and thunder. In the second step, all ten fingers are covered with a special finger knife. The third step is to suck up the fragments of the seven pieces of Wen Shenmu with the suction palm.

In the fourth step, after moving his fingers and finding the right time, he slashed down diagonally at the seven stems of the Seven Star Leaf Spirit Flower. At the same time, the fragments of the warm god wood absorbed in the palm of the hand were precisely inserted into the seven branches.

In the fifth step, the seven shaved spirit flowers fell on the pill on the table, and then he grabbed the main trunk of the Seven Star Leaf Spirit Flower and flipped it, and in the same breath, pulled out the fragments of the Wen Shenmu in turn, so that the juice in the stems dripped onto the flowers. At this point, it is also announced that the processing is complete.

On the stage, Zhuo Yunxiao's eyelids jumped when she saw this scene, and said to Zhuo Hongyuan: "You even taught him a thousand weeping willows?" ”

"He stole it himself, it's my business." Zhuo Hongyuan said this, but she was even more shocked than her brother in her heart. Because she didn't demonstrate it at all, she just described it once. Although Xu Jinghuai's thousand weeping willows are not real thousand weeping willows, what else can she say if she has done this level in more than two days.

Xia Yuan listened to the conversation between the brother and sister, and began to believe in her heart that Xu Jinghuai would really surpass herself and advance to the sixth rank within seven hundred years. Even, seven hundred years later, he really may not be able to defeat him. Because it is too difficult to advance to the seventh grade, even if it is yourself, it is conservatively estimated that it will take a thousand years.

As for Zhuang Xinrong and He Wenbai, the two of them stared at each other, and they both smiled helplessly. Especially Zhuang Xinrong, he never imagined that Xu Jinghuai would be able to successfully deal with the Seven Star Leaf Spirit Flower.

Xu Jinghuai's state at the moment is not much better, although the process of processing is very short, he feels that it has passed three autumns. The assessment division commander breathed a sigh of relief and announced: "Xu Jinghuai has completed, and his grades are first-class." ”

Shi Yong listened to this voice and lowered his head in shame. How he wished that the examiner would not report his results, however, the process still had to go.

The assessors announced separately that Dai Yangbo was in the second class and Shi Yongbing was in the middle school. Shi Yong gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words - I abstain.

The assessor understood his feelings, and although he could also enter the third stage, with his current results, it was really unnecessary.

On the stage, He Wenbai got up and arched his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is getting late today, and all the candidates are already emaciated. Therefore, I have decided to conduct the third stage of the assessment tomorrow. As an apology, how about I invite you to go to Zuixian Mansion for a wine tasting? ”

Zhuo Hongyuan got up and said, "It's okay to go to the Drunken Immortal Residence, but I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to cook." ”

The county guard Pang Bo's eyes rolled, as if he had an idea, and said with a smile: "Just taste the wine, you don't need to cook." ”

Zhuo Yunxiao, as the owner of the Drunken Immortal Residence, naturally still had to speak, and quipped: "It's okay to taste wine, but the wine money can't be less." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
