Chapter 295

Molten Xian Gong.

Clang, clang, clang...

The bell rang through the square in front of the main hall.

In front of more than thirty tables, the expressions of each cultivator were not very good.

Some frowned, some had faces as heavy as water, and some trembled in body and mind after hearing the bell.

This is because new information was conveyed to their minds—the first round of the Palace Examination is over, all cultivators must finish answering, and violators will be disqualified from the subsequent Palace Examination.

Thus, the cultivators were full of bitterness, reluctantly putting down the jade slips in their hands.

"Finished!"

"I haven't finished answering yet."

"Why did time pass so quickly?!"

"I tried my best to answer everything, although I knew it was wrong, but answering is better than not answering, right? Should give me some encouragement points?"

The cultivators' thoughts were about the same, and they secretly prayed that they could pass smoothly this time.

Concerning the position of the Palace Master of the Molten Xian Gong, this group of people are all outstanding people who mixed into the Xian Gong, naturally having ambitions for it. No one wants to be eliminated in the first round.

The information continued to be conveyed to everyone, asking the cultivators to wait a moment, and they would be able to grade the papers and get the results immediately.

Thus, the cultivators in the square took advantage of this time to quickly communicate with each other and ask about the answers to each question.

Zhu Xuanji, however, was lost in thought alone.

At this time, Shu Zhongjun took the initiative to walk toward him: "Lord Zhu."

Shu Zhongjun smiled and asked: "Do you think that the 'Mirror Platform Psychic Art' and 'Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art' that appear frequently in the jade slips should form a set with the 'Five Elements Qi Law Art' and are the inheritance treasures of the Molten Xian Gong—the Three Sects Superior Arts?"

Zhu Xuanji was thinking about this problem, raised his head when he heard the sound, and said frankly: "I was just pondering the words and phrases about these two cultivation techniques in the examination questions, and I think they look very much like a set."

"However, to really confirm, I still have to find a cultivator like City Lord Meng Kui to calculate."

Shu Zhongjun nodded: "I wonder if the Demon Path True Scripture in Lord Zhu's hands can be sold?"

This is Shu Zhongjun's real purpose.

In the Jin Dan melee, the Demon Path True Scripture appeared, although it finally revealed the background of a fake. But in the end, there was still 30% truth, after all, Unlike Ning Zhuo put out the Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art for real at the beginning to gain the trust of everyone.

The Jin Dan cultivators who participated in the melee, as long as they held the True Scripture, more or less knew some of the content of the first few layers of the "Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art."

But at that time, Shu Zhongjun did not participate.

Although he also wanted to, he belonged to the All-Book Pavilion. The latter is a world-famous neutral force and cannot participate in local disputes at will.

Therefore, Shu Zhongjun knew nothing about the "Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art."

He wanted to buy it from Zhu Xuanji, but was immediately rejected by the latter.

If it were before the first Palace Examination, Zhu Xuanji might have been moved by Shu Zhongjun's high price and sold the parts of the cultivation technique he knew.

But now, he had just taken the exam paper of the first round of the Palace Examination jade slips.

Zhu Xuanji used some knowledge of the Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art to answer the questions.

This made him even more certain of the value of the Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art. During the critical period of the Palace Examination, he could not sell it!

Shu Zhongjun sighed, and could only say goodbye to Zhu Xuanji and look for other breakthroughs like the Zheng family and Zhou family.

Looking at Shu Zhongjun's departing back, Zhu Xuanji's gaze was deep.

On the current ranking list, Shu Zhongjun is in second place; from this ranking, the other party is Zhu Xuanji's biggest enemy.

Elsewhere.

"Brother, how did you do on the exam?" Zheng Shuanggou asked Zheng Danlian with concern.

Zheng Danlian snorted coldly, suppressing the frustration in his heart.

Just during the Palace Examination, he almost wanted to take out his sickle and split the table!

Zheng Danlian: "The Three Sects Masters are nothing more than this; before holding the Palace Examination, they should have passed down the Three Sects Superior Arts."

Zhou Nongying said: "We have already discussed this point just now. It is very likely that the demonic beast attacked the palace, causing the Palace Examination to be greatly advanced. According to the original steps, there should have been a transmission of the law."

Ning Jiufan added: "Or, on that line of soul entering the Xian Gong, in the follow-up, there should be these Three Sects Superior Arts."

Zheng Shuanggou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we are all like this, the ranking will not change too much."

Almost all cultivators had the same thoughts as them.

Except for Sun Lingtong and Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Zhou Zeshen came to Unlike Ning Zhuo and asked about his feelings about this Palace Examination.

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly: "This time, I'm afraid I failed the exam. Sigh, it's possible to lose a life opportunity!"

Zhou Zeshen immediately felt relieved and comforted: "Everyone is like this, Brother Ning, please relax."

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "How can we Qi Refining cultivators compare to those Jin Dan cultivators? Their horizons are much broader than ours. Even if they don't know what the Three Sects Superior Arts are, they can try their best to answer through their own understanding."

"It's not like that for you and me."

Zhou Zeshen nodded and sighed bitterly: "What I think is the same as you, Brother Unlike Ning Zhuo."

In the corner on the other side.

Yang Chanyu came to Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong had a tangled look on his face.

Yang Chanyu couldn't help but worry: "Hey, you Foundation Establishment cultivator, how did you answer?"

"You are too young and your cultivation is weak, don't be brushed off because of too many blanks."

"If I am left alone to participate in the subsequent Palace Examination, I must increase the profit sharing by another 10%!"

Sun Lingtong snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at Yang Chanyu: "Woman, you just watch."

He quickly glanced at Unlike Ning Zhuo in the distance.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo obtained the Three Sects Superior Arts, he shared them with Sun Lingtong without reservation!

Unlike Ning Zhuo can answer the questions with all his might, but Sun Lingtong cannot.

Because he is acting under Unlike Ning Zhuo's name.

Therefore, for many questions, although he knows the answer, he cannot give the correct answer.

Sun Lingtong has to consider the situation when the Palace Examination results are announced.

Therefore, throughout the Palace Examination, he was extremely tangled.

It is too difficult to grasp this degree!

The cultivators' communication was interrupted by the suddenly arrived information.

"The first round of the Palace Examination, the ranking of examination results is as follows:"

"Entry Standard."

"Shu Zhongjun."

"Zhu Xuanji."

The crowd was in an uproar.

The first place is simply too, too, too eye-catching!

"Entry Standard?!" Everyone cast shocked, angry, hateful, and disdainful gazes at Sun Lingtong.

Even though Sun Lingtong was bold, being hated by so many people suddenly, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Yang Chanyu snorted coldly, took a step forward, blocked Sun Lingtong behind her, and let out a cold laugh: "Everyone, whoever wants to be eliminated by the Molten Xian Gong and disqualified from the Palace Examination, feel free to take action!"

The surging anger almost sprayed out of everyone's eyes.

"A good Empty Gate!"

"Didn't expect them to penetrate so deeply, actually knowing the Three Sects Superior Arts so well!!"

"If Sun Lingtong knows the Three Sects Superior Arts, how could he only practice his boy-gong?"

"This is obviously cheating, it's naked cheating!"

"We worked hard to answer the questions, honestly took the Palace Examination, and this thieving little thief is actually cheating openly?!"

"Sigh, I should have thought of it earlier. Sun Lingtong is at the Foundation Establishment stage, but can enter the Xian Gong with his soul. Breaking through the levels, taking advantage of high cultivation. It seems the Empty Gate has mastered a huge loophole in the Molten Xian Gong!"

"Where is the Palace Spirit? Someone is cheating!!! Please punish them strictly!"

The cultivators were very angry.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit of course paid attention to the whole process, and when it heard these words, it rolled its eyes and felt extremely powerless.

Because it knows the truth.

It roared: "What you should really care about is Unlike Ning Zhuo! It's this little monster!!"

Seeing that everyone was kept in the dark, and seeing "Unlike Ning Zhuo" ranked in the middle of the ranking list, not eye-catching at all.

This made the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit feel powerless, and the chill in the depths of its heart became even stronger.

Sun Lingtong breathed a sigh of relief.

He successfully completed the task without making the results too prominent, allowing Unlike Ning Zhuo to continue hiding.

Yang Chanyu suddenly hugged him.

Such an intimate move made Sun Lingtong extremely disgusted, and he pushed away with all his might, breaking free.

"Yang Chanyu, what are you doing?!" Sun Lingtong shouted.

Yang Chanyu stared at Sun Lingtong with eager eyes: "Amazing, you little one, you really gave our Empty Gate a face."

"How did you do it?"

"Did you really get the Three Sects Superior Arts, or are you cheating?"

"Quick, tell me!"

Sun Lingtong shook his head: "Oh, you are really annoying."

Looking at Sun Lingtong from afar, Unlike Ning Zhuo also quietly relaxed, feeling quite gratified in his heart: "As expected of the boss!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's name was in the middle of the list, not eye-catching.

New information was conveyed again.

"Combining the merit list and the examination ranking, a new calculation is performed, and the ranking is as follows:"

"Zhu Xuanji."

"Shu Zhongjun."

"Zheng Danlian."

"Entry Standard."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo."

"Zhou Zeshen."

"How is it possible?!"

"I, I failed the exam?"

"Damn it!"

The cultivators in the last ten places of the list changed color one after another, some screamed in pain, some were eclipsed.

Unlike Ning Zhuo noticed that there were no Jin Dan cultivators among them, about half were trial disciples, and the other half were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The horizons and knowledge of Jin Dan cultivators are still deep enough.

The questions in the jade slips were limited to the Qi Refining stage, and a few reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, even if Jin Dan cultivators did not know the Three Sects Superior Arts, they could answer skillfully through their own knowledge.

On the other hand, the reason why no Jin Dan cultivator failed was also because they had a lot of merit before and were ranked at the forefront.

The eliminated trial disciples suffered from their short knowledge.

As for those Foundation Establishment cultivators, there might be reasons for both aspects. On the one hand, they lacked merit, and on the other hand, their knowledge was not as good as that of Jin Dan cultivators, and the effect reflected was relatively small.
