Chapter 505: Let the World See My Supreme Talent

In the quiet room.

The empty bottle of Marrow Jade Liquid tipped over and hit the ground, making a dense sound.

Liang Qu sat with his five hearts facing the sky, faint cyan-white True Steel flowing, washing his body.

Inside his body.

Silver-white radiance shone incessantly, the cycle formed by three major meridians and five minor meridians circulating without end.

And outside this circulatory system, a brand-new minor meridian was slowly condensing, located in the upper part of the Santian Chong Meridian!

The sixth minor meridian.

Xiphoid Meridian!

The entire minor meridian, from condensation to the circulation of Qi and blood, was almost done in one go!

"It's done!"

Liang Qu opened his eyes.

The spiritual energy washing from the Xiandao above the clouds for less than half a quarter of an hour was an opportunity, the final straw, plus a bottle of Marrow Jade Liquid, it was a matter of course!

The most worth celebrating is undoubtedly that with three major meridians and six minor meridians, he could attempt to condense the Human Bridge!

A complete meridian bridge requires the combination of three major meridians and nine minor meridians, but with three major and six minor, the quantity matches, and it can already be initially condensed, with the rest to be filled in later!

Lightning speed!

Liang Qu's mind moved, and his True Steel was revealed.

The Azure Dragon coiled its body and lowered its head.

The Bai Yuan's long hair flew.

Before entering the dream, the Taiqing Dragon Steel was four zhang eight, and the Bai Yuan True Steel was three zhang eight.

Now, after the spiritual energy washing, one was approaching five zhang, and the other was approaching four zhang, both having significant improvements!

However, compared to the time he observed the vision, the terrifying improvement of suddenly tripling in volume was far behind.

"Staying in the dream for less than half a quarter of an hour, while at the end of the fifth month, the vision of the Xiandao above the clouds lasted for a quarter of an hour."

"The Mirage Insect recovers once every eight to nine days. Is the thickness of the spiritual energy of the Xiandao in the dream about one-fifteenth?"

"Calculated this way, it's equivalent to me receiving a complete vision baptism every three hundred days?"

Liang Qu smiled.

Not bad.

A stable baptism three times every two years—saying this out loud would make people jealous to the point of madness.

Accumulating over time.

Catching up to Wei Lin's Red Demon Roc is just around the corner!

"If the Mirage Insect evolves further, it should be able to shorten the interval and increase the stay time..."

Multiplier.

Interval.

Stay time.

The three are multiplicative; if any number decreases, the resulting time number will drop significantly.

"Not enough essence."

Liang Qu communicated with the Ze Ding.

【Ding Master: Liang Qu】

【Refining Refined Ze Ling: Ze (Deep Cyan)】

【Refined Ze Ling's Favor: Martial Dao Tong Shen Second Layer (Chuan Zhu Emperor); Ying Dragon Pattern: First Layer; Tian Wu: First Layer】

【Water Ze Essence: 31,000 points】

The Mirage Insect needs 25,000 points of Water Ze Essence to evolve again. Currently, the quantity is enough.

But one must consider the future.

The Chuan Zhu Emperor needs to be sublimated by another layer, requiring two strands of Long Qi and 20,000 Water Ze Essence to generate a spirit fish.

After entering the Wolf Smoke Realm.

Liang Qu sometimes feels the difficulty of condensing meridians, especially condensing major meridians, which is not the same as the feeling of breaking through barriers without any obstacles in the past.

The Dragon-men need to consume Qi, and if everything goes smoothly, it is estimated that it will cost another 10,000.

The three strands of Long Qi combined require 30,000.

"Half of the Dragon-men's treasures remain, and much of what the serpent demons gave remains. There is plenty to digest."

It's all in the bowl, take it slow.

One day later.

The news of the Wu Sheng recruiting talent spread throughout Pingyang Prefecture, and talents from various counties rushed over, just to seek a development opportunity.

Even people from Xiangyi County, the northernmost part of Pingyang Prefecture, rushed over to participate in the exam.

The Prince of Yue traveling by boat along the river should have sent people to notify the localities, and then people followed.

Two types of exams.

The civil exam is for writing essays.

The location is at the Shanghu Academy, with the Prince of Yue himself setting the questions, and the academy and the Wu Sheng's subordinates screening and grading them.

Finally, they are submitted. The Prince of Yue probably won't look at them; they should be cross-evaluated by several trusted subordinates.

This item seeks governance-type talent, not requiring martial force, but requiring skills in policy discussion, people's livelihood, poetry, and prose.

The martial exam is very simple and quite interesting.

All of Liang Qu's senior brothers and sisters ran over to join the fun, and the martial arts halls in the prefecture city and towns were all on holiday.

The huge loess martial arts arena was crowded with people, filled with noisy conversation and cheers everywhere.

They didn't do the fighting ring or the one-on-one duels; that was too cumbersome and prone to bloodshed, and the Prince of Yue was only staying for a few days.

Three white jade pillars carved with rare beasts stood in the center of the venue.

In the recessed patterns, faint silver light flickered, having the same effect as the one on the serpent demon's head.

Anyone who wants to board the ship can come up and try.

Place your hand on it and hold on for a quarter of a quarter of an hour without letting go, and you pass the test and get a copper badge.

Hold on for half a quarter of an hour, and you get a silver badge.

Hold on for a quarter of an hour, and you get a gold badge—pure gold, palm-sized, at least several dozen jin, equivalent to several hundred taels of silver!

Needless to say.

The three types of badges represent the level of arrangement after boarding the ship to Ningjiang Prefecture.

Lu Gang pointed to the white jade pillar and explained to Liang Qu, who had just arrived.

"The three white jade pillars all contain the Wu Sheng's will. People of different realms correspond to pre-simulated duels of different realms.

To put it simply, it first tests your strength. If your strength is higher than the standard line set by the Wu Sheng, you will be at ease and naturally be able to hold on long enough.

If your strength is not enough, but your willpower is strong enough, you can still hold on. If neither is enough, you have no qualification to board the ship."

"In that case, can ordinary people also come up to test?"

Lu Gang nodded: "That's right. Among ordinary people, there are also those with extremely strong perseverance. Not everyone can save up money to learn martial arts."

"No wonder."

Liang Qu had good eyesight. Among the crowded heads, many were local villagers from Yixing Town, all of whom he remembered as ordinary people.

They pressed their hands on the pillar, rolled their eyes as if electrocuted, and were then dragged away like dead dogs.

But the fellow villagers behind were still tireless.

Trying doesn't cost money, and at worst, you just need to rest for half a day.

A good thing.

Ordinary people all participate, knowing the power and mystery of the Wu Sheng.

The rhetoric of Li Libo and Chen Jiechang about the River God sending messengers to assist the wise will have more of a market.

At least on the road, Liang Qu heard people discussing that it was said that some people even went to burn incense for the serpent demon in front of the government office.

"Have any ordinary people passed?"

"No."

"How many have passed so far?"

"Fourteen copper, six silver, and no gold yet."

Xu Zishuai had a sudden thought: "Can one just take the gold badge and not board the ship?"

Liang Qu glanced sideways: "Senior brother, have you gone crazy for money? You dare to take advantage of this?"

"Just a joke." Xu Zishuai shrugged.

"If you don't board the ship, it doesn't matter if you go up and play," Xiang Fang Su, Ke Wenbin, and others walked up from behind. "The Prince of Yue said that if we are interested, we can all try. However, if we don't board the ship, we won't be issued a gold badge, saying he's afraid that all our people will get gold badges and cheat him out of hundreds of thousands."

"The Prince of Yue is humorous."

Lu Gang said respectfully.

It was clearly a joke with the juniors.

It is true that most of the world's talents are concentrated in the imperial court, especially in special places like Pingyang Prefecture where clouds gather and there is political significance, but it is impossible to have hundreds of gold-badge geniuses.

"Ashui, are you going up to try?"

Ke Wenbin instigated.

Liang Qu shook his head: "No, what if it's a copper badge? Wouldn't I lose face?"

"Really not going?"

"No interest."

Ran Zhongshi smiled: "The manager of the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce came to invite the Prince of Yue to participate in tomorrow's auction, and the Prince of Yue agreed.

The manager promised that at tomorrow's Tianbo Chamber of Commerce auction, those holding gold badges or those who passed the test would get a five percent discount on all auction bids. We came here now just to tell everyone this good news."

"In that case, I have to let people see my supreme talent!"

Liang Qu rolled up his sleeves and strode forward. ===== CHAPTER 506 =====
