Volume 1 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The Hall of Trials
The old man leaned on a chaise longue with his eyes half-closed, leisurely crossing Erlang's legs, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.
After hearing Rong Yiyang's words, his brows furrowed slightly, opened his eyes, and said with an impatient face: "It's Yiyang, what are you doing here." ”
Although he knew Rong Yiyang, the problem was that this kid had already been assigned to a remote manor in the family. It can be said that it has been out of the mainstream of the family for more than ten years.
Although Rong Yiyang's biological father is also a fierce general in the family, even if he sees it, he must be respectful.
But because Rong Yiyang had not condensed his true qi, he was not treated by his father.
Such a little person will naturally not be put in his eyes Rong Jieming.
Rong Yiyang bent down and said respectfully: "Uncle Ming, the little nephew hasn't seen you for a long time, so ......"
"Don't be verbose. Rong Jieming frowned slightly, interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said, "You won't worry about the old man for no reason." Hmph, if there is anything to say directly, for your father's sake, the old man who can help will also help. ”
Although he said it was refreshing, the meaning of his words was very clear.
If you can help, but if you can't, then you don't need to talk about it.
Rong Yiyang nodded again and again, and said, "That's ......" He turned around, waved his hand to Rong Kaixuan, dragged him to the old man, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Ming, this is my son Kaixuan." Triumphant, call Grandpa Ming. ”
Rong Kaixuan replied and said loudly: "Grandpa Ming." ”
Rong Jieming glanced at Rong Kaixuan up and down, and said with a smile: "It's a great young man, hehe, you came here to test something?"
After all, he was an old man, and he had been grinding foreign workers in the Golden Trial Hall for decades, so he naturally guessed the intention of their father and son at this time.
Rong Yiyang hurriedly said: "Exactly, Uncle Ming's eyes are like electricity." A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Uncle Ming, this kid has been practicing boxing since he was a child, and he finally succeeded in condensing his true qi a few days ago, so I brought him over to take a look." ”
"Oh, I've succeeded in condensing my true qi. Rong Jieming's expression moved slightly, the look in his eyes finally changed slightly, and his gaze at Rong Kaixuan was also a little affectionate: "Kaixuan, how old are you this year?"
Rong Kaixuan said without hesitation: "In March, it will be the child's fifteenth birthday." ”
"Is there still three months?" Rong Jieming's face twitched slightly, and the enthusiasm in his eyes immediately faded a lot.
Being able to condense true qi before the age of fifteen is a great event for Rong Yiyang's father and son. But for Rong Jieming, who has been in the Golden Trial Hall for decades and has seen countless outstanding children of the Rong family, there is really nothing to boast about before he condenses his true qi at this age.
Although such a disciple can also enter the inner hall, his future development prospects are very limited, and it is not worth him to go to the pole to talk about anything.
Of course, with Rong Jieming's old age, it is impossible for him to offend a future inner disciple in vain.
Coughing lightly, he said, "Since the true qi has been condensed, then according to the rules, you are eligible to take the qualification test for free." He got up, opened his voice, and shouted, "Go, bring the old man a touchstone." ”
His old man is nothing in the entire Rong family, but here he is an old qualified martial artist.
With his soft shout, someone naturally hurried out, and after a while, the man returned, holding two pieces of jade of different colors in his hands.
The two pieces of jade were about the same size, each the size of a fist. However, one of them was slightly yellowish in color, while the other was white and flawless, and there was even a faint glimmer of light in it.
Rong Jieming's face sank, and he snorted angrily: "Idiot, why did you bring the Spirit Touchstone as well." Hmph, don't you know the preciousness of this thing, if one accidentally falls down, can you kid afford to pay for it?"
The one who brought the jade over was a young man in his twenties, his face was flushed, and he cursed secretly in his heart, old and immortal, if you don't make it clear yourself, how do I know.
However, even if he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to talk back to Rong Jieming here, so he had to hang his head and resignedly: "Old Ming, or I'll put it back first." ”
"Hmph, forget it. Rong Jieming hesitated for a moment and said, "The frizziness is not worrying, let's put it back together later." ”
He stretched out his hand, took the slightly yellow jade in his hand, handed it to Rong Kaixuan, slowed down his tone, and said, "Kaixuan, this is a martial artist touchstone." If you haven't cultivated your true qi, then you hold it hard, and after the tea, the stone will release light, and according to the strength of the light, you can judge your qualifications in martial arts. He paused and said, "However, now that you have condensed your True Qi, there is no need for such trouble. Hehe, you use your True Qi to input into the touchstone, and it can immediately reflect your qualifications. ”
The hall of the Golden Trial Hall is very large, but because this is not the time for a large number of disciples to test, there are not many people here. However, there are at least a dozen people stationed here all year round. At this time, more than ten people coincidentally set their eyes here.
It was common for the children of the Rong family to come to the Golden Hall for testing, and they didn't know how many times they had seen it in a year. The reason why I pay attention at this moment is entirely because I have nothing to do, so I will have the leisure and elegance to take a look at it.
Rong Kaixuan responded, he stretched out his hands, and reverently took the martial arts touchstone from Rong Jieming's hands. Then, he took a long breath, and the true qi in his body began to work.
The strange liliang in the dantian was like a soldier who had received an order, and immediately rushed upward, and in an instant, it reached his palm and rushed into the touchstone.
Rong Kaixuan knows very well how powerful the power of true qi is, don't look at only such a small trace of true qi. However, when this liliang burst out, even a huge tiger would be knocked away in an instant.
Therefore, when he released his true qi, he still had some worries in his heart, if he accidentally smashed the touchstone, I was afraid that his fate would not be too comfortable.
However, the touchstone was far harder than he expected.
The true qi in the dantian suddenly rushed into the touchstone, but it was like a stone thrown into the sea, and it had no impact at all.
However, after the touchstone was stimulated by True Qi, its surface immediately released a cloud of misty light. The light was not strong and dazzling, but faint and vague.
"Hey......"
A few sighs sounded slowly, and the few people who were paying attention to this place in boredom all withdrew their gazes, some of them shook their heads, and some smiled: "I have long known that it is almost fifteen years old to condense true qi, and this qualification is not much better." ”
Rong Kaixuan looked around, looking at everyone's indifferent expressions, and his heart beat violently.
He saw a hint of contempt in the eyes of these people, and even Rong Jieming, who was smiling at him, pouted his lips and showed a disapproving expression.
He immediately understood that his qualifications were not good. At least, the martial artists in these Golden Test Halls were not optimistic about his future.
Rong Yiyang's face was slightly red, but he still said, "Uncle Ming, look ......?"
Rong Jieming replied casually, and said: "Kaixuan has indeed condensed true qi, but what are his qualifications......" He shook his head and said: "It's already good to be able to condense true qi, hehe, according to the clan rules, as long as you condense your true qi before the age of fifteen, you can become an inner disciple." ”
Rong Yiyang was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as he could become an inner disciple, even if he was just barely qualified, he could play an immeasurable positive role in his son's life. Of course, he couldn't give up this opportunity.
Bowing deeply to Rong Jieming, Rong Yiyang said, "Thank you, Uncle Ming." ”
Rong Jieming waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me, the old man just does things according to the clan rules." He glanced at Rong Kaixuan and said slowly: "However, don't have too much hope, it's not easy for this kid Kaixuan to be able to condense his true qi, but if he wants to go further, it will be more difficult." ”
He had seen too many people who were overjoyed when they entered the inner hall, but in the end they were left behind, so he poured a basin of cold water on it at this time to remind him.
Rong Yiyang was stunned, he smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Yiyang understands." ”
The son only succeeded in condensing his true qi when he was about to turn fifteen, although he was qualified to enter the inner hall, but what his qualifications were, he had already been mentally prepared, and it was impossible to repay too much extravagance.
Rong Kaixuan lowered his head, his fists clenched unfreely.
The excitement and joy along the way had all faded at this moment, and a sense of powerlessness after being humiliated rose in his heart.
Not convinced, he was not convinced.
Yes, after more than ten years of unremitting efforts, after manipulating the strange body into the deep mountains to face the overlord of the mountain, the true qi that he had worked so hard to condense was so lightly slacked.
No one said anything to him, but their meaning was clear from their expressions and their conversations with each other.
It's just that although this feeling is quite humiliating, he doesn't have any ability to change it.
Perhaps, when he entered the inner hall to be angry and strong, and cultivated to a realm far beyond everyone else, he would be able to make these people treat him differently.
Rong Jieming waved his hand to the young man from before and said, "You go and get a piece of the waist card of the inner hall disciple, and send the touchstone back by the way." ”
The young man was about to leave, but he heard someone suddenly say: "Wait, Uncle Ming, according to the family rules, since he has cultivated his true qi, he can also test his spiritual power for free." ”
Rong Jieming was stunned and said with a smile: "It's the old man's negligence." ”
Although he was still smiling at the moment, he was quite dissatisfied in his heart. This Rong Kaixuan's qualifications are so poor, wouldn't it be a waste of time and materials to test spiritual power.
It's just that the person who said this is a rising star in the family, and his status is no different from Rong Jieming, and his old man is not willing to blame others for this little thing.
Taking the white and flawless jade from the young man's hand, Rong Jieming handed it to Rong Kaixuan and said, "Kaixuan, you can try it." ”
Rong Kaixuan said suspiciously: "What should I do?"
"It's very simple, you concentrate on it, don't be distracted, just stare at this piece of jade. ”
Rong Kaixuan nodded, he condensed his mind according to the other party's words, and threw his consciousness into the jade.
More than ten people in the Golden Trial Hall still laughed and didn't care, and even the middle-aged man who reminded him didn't think that there would be any changes in this piece of jade.
However, in the next moment, as if in the blink of an eye, the jade in Rong Kaixuan's hand suddenly lit up.
A bright, somewhat dazzling light burst out of the jade.
The light lit up everyone's faces and dazzled everyone's eyes.
Suddenly, the entire gold test hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
