Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 22: Testing

In the following days, Tang Jie continued to practice **** his spell-casting ability, which was extremely rare among most students.

Seeing one student after another enter the Lingquan level and go back to practice triumphantly, Tang Jie was not in a hurry. He just released the water shield over and over again, and the speed of casting spells gradually increased from five seconds to four seconds. Seconds, two seconds...

Today Tang Jie was still practicing in the house, but he heard a call outside.

Out of the room, Tang Jie saw a student standing at the door.

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Li. I wonder what Senior Brother wants from me?"

This senior brother Li is called Li Zhen. He is a sixth-year student of Xiyue College and is in the Spirit Lake realm. However, he is much stronger than Wu Xing.

The route taken by Li Zhen is somewhat similar to that of Tang Jie. He is not eager to improve his realm. Instead, he must practice spells diligently to improve his combat power every time he reaches a realm, and then rely on his combat power to perform academy tasks and obtain resources. In turn, it will increase your own cultivation speed.

This is also the best choice for some students who are not talented enough. The only problem is that the risk is too great.

This Li Zhen had fought several times in the Shenbing Arena a few days ago. He had won many games in a row and was quite famous. Therefore, Tang Jie also knew about him and had even met him once.

Seeing Tang Jie come out at this moment, Li Zhen smiled and said: "As you know, there will be a big exam in a few days. Unfortunately, I fail every year. I can't always waste time here. Isn't this what I heard about Xi Yue? There is a genius student from the college. He is very knowledgeable and talented, so you come here to ask for advice?"

The liberal arts rules of Xiyue College are very simple. All content will only be taught for half a year. After half a year, there will be a major exam. Those who pass it will not have to attend classes.

As for those who fail to pass, they must continue to come to class. You can take leave for the trial, but as long as you come back, you cannot miss a day. You can stop taking classes until you pass.

The Xiyue students were so focused on practicing that they didn’t bother to study essays. Only later did they realize that they couldn’t pass the liberal arts subject and had to attend lectures every morning, which wasted a lot of time. Taking into account the interruption time of the big week, there will be even more delays. After all, when it takes you an hour to complete a full week, and you only have half an hour left before going to class, it is impossible for you to practice for half a day, go to class, and then come back to make up for it.

So students have to work hard in areas that are not interesting to them.

Like this Li Zhen, he has been practicing diligently for six years, even during class, he did not forget to practice the movement of the sky, and naturally he failed the exam many times. Many people like him have actually given up on liberal arts completely. Anyway, they can practice in class, but the efficiency is at best low, and the overall evaluation is low. Unexpectedly, Li Zhen came to see Tang Jie today.

Hearing what Li Zhen said, Tang Jie smiled and said: "When it comes to liberal arts subjects, junior brother does have some confidence. However, every class of students must have outstanding liberal arts students. Judging from Xiyue College's years, this liberal arts darling is at least There have to be ten of them, so why did senior brother come to me?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Teaching arts and science also takes time. Those guys, if you ask them for help, you will definitely be a lion. Senior brother, it is not easy for me to save money, and I can't buy their time. Think about it, junior brother is new here. , I think the price will be cheaper. Didn’t I specially prepare a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill and talk about the price?"

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of Qi-nourishing pill.

Seeing the Qi-nourishing pill, Tang Jie smiled: "This Qi-nourishing pill is too expensive, and junior brother can't afford it. In fact, senior brother doesn't have to be like this. Since senior brother wants to take the literary test and pay more attention to the lectures every day, he will naturally We already understand, why do we have to find a younger brother?"

Li Zhen said quickly: "Master is giving lectures, and you are not allowed to ask questions. I am stupid and have many questions that I don't understand, so I have to ask my junior brother for help. Why is my junior brother not willing?"

Tang Jie shook his head: "I'm sorry, I've been working hard to pass the test recently, and the spiritual spring is already in sight, so I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time."

"With this Qi-nourishing pill, you can enter the spiritual spring faster."

Tang Jie still shook his head: "Senior brother, I thank you for your kindness, but let's forget about it."

"You!" Li Zhen was so angry that he glared at him: "Then it's okay if you invite me into the house to sit for a while, right?"

Tang Jie still just shook his head.

Li Zhen was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Tang Jie and said: "Okay! Okay! But a mere one-year student is so rampant. I deign to come to you to beg you, even if I give you Qi-nourishing pills, I can't get you any. Help me, you don’t even let me sit down, you are so rude, I will remember you!”

As he said that, he turned around and left.

After leaving Tao Ranju, Li Zhen walked for a while and came to a remote and deserted corner, where he saw a tall student standing there.

The student saw Li Zhen coming and frowned slightly: "It seems that senior brother has failed."

Li Zhen snorted: "I lost this bet. I, Li Zhen, thought that in the academy I could answer every call without saying anything. After all, the juniors had always heard about it, and I had to give some face if anything happened. , I didn’t expect that Tang Jie would dare not even let me enter the house. Junior Brother Min guessed right. This Tang Jie is really arrogant and arrogant. He is humble on the surface, but he is arrogant in his heart. If it weren’t for the large array guarding his residence. , I have to rush in and teach him a lesson."

As he said that, he threw the bottle of Qi-nourishing Pill to the other party.

The student surnamed Min just smiled and returned the elixir to Li Zhen: "It was just a joke for a while, why should senior brother be so serious. Senior brother, you should take back this Qi-nourishing elixir."

Li Zhen was very dissatisfied: "You said this as if I was the defaulter. Since I lost this Qi-nourishing pill, there is no reason to take it back. If I win, you lose Of my five bottles, I won’t want any less. Okay, let’s put this aside and say goodbye!”

Seeing Li Zhen leave, the student lowered his head and thought for a moment, took out a piece of talisman paper, and wrote: "Tang Jie is cautious. Anyone who is not familiar with him is not allowed to enter his house. He only uses the main road to enter and leave the academy. If you don’t enter the alley, there will be many students picketing along the way, and even spiritual masters will spy on you secretly. We still need to continue to look for opportunities to strike.”

After writing, a wisp of flame rose from the fingertips, and the talisman paper was burned to ashes and then disappeared.

————————————————

Twenty days later, Wei Tianchong finally completed his first puppet production.

This is a wolf-shaped puppet, not big in size, but quite majestic.

The main body of the body is made of thunderwood, and the eyes are made of black crystal beads. The claws and teeth are made of mixed metal mixed with a small amount of raw iron. This small piece of mixed gold alone cost nearly a thousand dollars. , which is also the most expensive part.

The interior of the wolf sculpture is hollow and is used to store spirit stones that can be used as power. This is also the most common source of power in the world of immortality. However, spirit stones are not used as price trading units, because different spirit stones, attributes, and sizes, Effects vary, but are bought and sold as a basic good.

There is also a sharp horn also made of mixed gold on its head, making it look particularly ferocious.

In terms of the quality of the materials alone, the materials used for this war puppet are considered reasonable among first-class puppets. However, because of its small size, the formations it can carve are limited, and its functions must also be limited.

Wei Tianchong has only completed the shaping of its body. Next, he needs to make the formation to give it a real soul and make it operate according to his own wishes.

Just like handing over his child to Tang Jie, Wei Tianchong said reluctantly: "I will leave it to you!"

"Don't worry, young master."

Taking the puppet Wei Tianchong gave him, Tang Jie went directly to Zhou Tiantai.

Zhou Tiantai is the place where students learn the formation.

According to the rules of Xiyue Academy, students are only eligible to apply to learn alchemy arrays and other miscellaneous subjects after entering the Lingquan level.

After applying for a period of time, the college will arrange an assessment. Only students who have completed the assessment can officially start miscellaneous studies. The admission method follows the usual style of the college. No matter how many talents come, only ten people will be admitted at a time, and those who cannot meet the requirements will be rejected.

Of course, if you feel your talent is good enough, you can take the exam again and again. However, except for the first exam, which is free, all re-examinations will have to be paid.

In order for students to stand out in the future, in addition to relying on talent, family wealth, and hard work, these alchemy arrays and other miscellaneous items are their fourth path. Unfortunately, this aspect also requires high talent, and the upfront investment is large. It’s hard to get ahead without a family background.

From this aspect, it was pure luck that Tang Jie was able to learn the formation from Xu Muyang. Xu Muyang's formation method valued nature and emphasized the natural ability to cast spells. If he could do it without using materials, he would not need materials. This gave him the opportunity to lay the foundation. But even with Xu Muyang's formation, he still had to use casting materials when reaching high places. Therefore, in the three years before Tang Jie, he could only play around with some basic magic formations. Fortunately, he found that book. It's thorough enough, and the theoretical foundation is absolutely solid.

When we arrived at Zhoutiantai, there was a large square directly in front of us.

There are more than ten disciples sitting in the square, each one sitting on the ground thinking hard about something, and from time to time they draw lines on the ground with chalk.

Tang Jie knew that he was calculating the composition of the formation diagram. This was the basic knowledge of formation formation, but it was extremely complicated and could often make people dizzy. He thought that was how he came here back then.

However, he did not come here to pay attention to the students' composition. At this moment, he glanced around and landed on a student who looked a little down and out.

This student is a little lonely, but his eyes are quite focused. Judging from the composition of his formation, his basic skills are pretty good, but he is a bit too rigid, but this is exactly what Tang Jie wants.

It must be him, Tang Jie thought.

After adjusting his clothes, Tang Jie walked over, bowed and said, "Hello, senior brother."

"Huh?" The student looked up at Tang Jie: "You are..."

"Student Tang Jie, a first-year student in this semester..."

As he said that, Tang Jie gave a rough outline of his intention.

The student was overjoyed when he heard that Tang Jie said that he would be asked to make formations for the puppets.

Students learn miscellaneous things just to make money so they can buy elixirs for practice.

It's just that those who have some level of skills have gone to the market to do business. Most of those who stay in Zhoutiantai and are still competing with the formation are students who are not yet good enough and are still in the stage of making progress but not making progress.

This student's name is Qin Liang. He is not outstanding in the formation path and is a bit dull by nature. Therefore, he has never taken any business. I didn't expect that someone would come here today to ask for formation practice. This is a door-to-door business. , not only can you make a small fortune, but you can also further practice your skills.

But when Tang Jie took out the puppet, Qin Liang immediately frowned: "This puppet is too small."

"It doesn't matter." Tang Jie already smiled and said: "This puppet was not originally intended to be used for fighting~IndoMTL.com~ It was just used for fun, so I only need to carve a few simple magic circles."

"So that's it." Qin Liang immediately felt relaxed when he heard that it was not for fighting.

Since the opponent is just playing for a while, it is enough to engrave a few basic control circles. This size is more than enough.

"But these are puppets made of fine materials. It's a pity that they are only used for playing." Qin Liang admired the materials on the puppet.

Such a puppet cannot be obtained without two thousand spiritual coins. I don’t know whose young master is so prodigal and spends so much money just to play as a pet.

Tang Jie said with a smile: "Then please ask senior brother to follow this plan."

As he spoke, he took out a formation diagram.

"Huh?" Qin Liang looked at the formation diagram and said strangely: "This formation diagram is a bit weird. Why are there so many inconsistencies and blank spaces in the middle? The material requirements are also a bit strange... Such an array Picture, can it be used after making it?"

"It's like this. My young master is also interested in the Tao of Duel, so it's best to leave some blank space for this puppet, and then the young master..." Tang Jie made a color you know, took out thirty spiritual coins and handed it over past.

Qin Liang immediately nodded to express his understanding. This was probably because a rich young man wanted to show off his ability, so he asked others to do only half of it and did the rest himself, so that he could boast that it was his credit.

Anyway, as long as I get the money, it doesn’t matter anything else, so I accept it with understanding.

Three days later, Qin Liang completed the formation map and handed the puppet to Tang Jie. After Tang Jie took the puppet and looked at it, he finally felt that the boy was not smart enough to add a few random strokes. He was deeply satisfied and praised Qin Liang for his superb craftsmanship, which made Qin Liang feel a little elated.

Tang Jie returned to Tao Ranju with the half-finished puppet.

Take out the materials that have been prepared, and then it’s time to turn decay into magic.
