Chapter 291 A demon is coming

The little girl smiled sweetly in the direction of Jin Ziming. Somehow, it gave him a feeling of warmth and sadness.

It seems that this is a relative he has reunited after a long absence. For no reason, he likes this child and wants to protect her.

This emotion was a bit like meeting the "little liar" Rui Ying for the first time, but he was sure that the child would not lie to him.

On the first day of the draft, one hundred children were divided into ten groups and took turns on stage to undergo a spiritual test.

The people who presided over the test were three golden elixirs and several foundation-building stage practitioners. As casual cultivators, they did not have expensive and sophisticated instruments, so they could only use a very primitive mode.

"Yesterday, the Immortal taught the soul boy a simple method of using the palms of his hands to tap the palace acupoints to absorb spiritual energy of the same nature as the body.

Today the Immortal will sacrifice five protective light shields, which are filled with the five kinds of spiritual energy of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The children placed their palms on the shield one after another. When the immortal opened a small hole at the Laogong point, they only needed to perform the exercises they had just learned.

By detecting the changes in the spiritual energy within the mask, it is determined whether to pass the level. If there is no spiritual root, it is impossible to sense and absorb the spiritual energy.

If there is, it can only absorb one to four kinds of spiritual energy. The fewer types, the better the spiritual root."

Ten foundation-building monks entered the venue and inspected each group. They soon showed expressions of satisfaction, and the host's excited voice sounded:

"Although the children are new to learning the art of cultivating immortals, they are all very smart. In addition, they only need to absorb the spiritual energy that is most suitable for them. They have learned them all in such a short period of time. Now, please ask the immortal to cast the spell."

A golden elixir monk came to the east side of the stage without any movement. In front of him, five beautiful light masks of different colors magically appeared, and the audience all marveled.

"The soul children from each island will come on stage for testing in order, starting with the attached island and ending with the main island. After each two groups are tested, there will be exciting performances."

The children came on and off the stage one after another, some were excited and happy, but most were frustrated, disappointed or afraid.

After most of the day, the test was completed. The little girl Jin Ziming liked was indeed selected. She successfully absorbed the water and metallic aura.

The host announced:

"Now I will announce the results. Among the one hundred children, a total of twenty-seven were found to have spiritual roots. Congratulations to them for passing the first level.

The main island has the largest number of people selected. Among the seven affiliated islands, the first place is the Deserted Secret Island, and four out of ten people have the spiritual root to cultivate immortality."

Cheers and exclamations came from the audience. In addition to the fans, the gamblers who bet on this island made a huge profit.

"The worst performer was Linhui Island. The entire army was destroyed and no one advanced."

Curses could be heard all the time, obviously some people who had lost all their money were venting their dissatisfaction.

"..., the two people from Xuanji Island qualified, and their performance was quite satisfactory."

The first day of selection is over, and the next day's competition is an assessment event set by the royal family to make it more interesting.

The people presiding over were all civil officials in the palace, and the casual cultivators only sent a few Qi Refining monks to watch with cold eyes, which was regarded as holding back the battle.

"Now, twenty-seven soul boys will take the stage to perform special performances. There will be no elimination in this round."

This link is more in line with ordinary people's tastes. After all, everyone can understand it. Thunderous cheers came from the audience from time to time.

The children performed calligraphy, danced, played music, demonstrated strength, or practiced foreign martial arts.

There was even a boy who dived into a large glass tank filled with sea water and fished with his bare hands.

Every time he caught one, he would pass the grass rope around his waist through the fish's gills and mouth, hang it on his body, and then continue swimming.

The flexibility of his skills and the length of time he could hold his breath made both Jin and Ye stunned. He won the warmest applause from the audience.

The little girl from Xuanji Island came on stage, and Jin Ziming finally found out that her name was Meng Yu. A civil servant came forward and spread out a large piece of white paper on the ground with her.

The little guy was thin and looked timid, but when she took a deep breath and held the charcoal pencil, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

A petite body lay on the piece of paper and began to draw.

She concentrated on painting, blocking out the noise around her, forgetting the attention of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, and only had the painting in her heart.

Her movements are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and sometimes she is lost in thought.

She sometimes draws with charcoal, and sometimes uses her thumb, index finger, or even palm to smear the black on the paper to other places, thus reflecting the gradient colors of thick black, light black, gray or light gray.

Viewed from a distance from the auditorium, the little ant was busy on the white paper for most of the incense stick, and finally completed the painting.

Meng Yu stood up, moved his sore limbs, looked down at the pictures on the ground, and showed a satisfied smile.

A monk with the third level of early soul came forward, recorded it with a photo stone, and then projected the picture into the air so that everyone could see it.

To everyone's disappointment, they saw houses and the sea, but it was hard to know what else was in the picture.

Even so, the audience still felt that this was a beautiful painting with profound meaning. Meng Yu won applause from the audience, although not as much as the boy who fished just now.

The reckless man and his fiancée looked at each other with surprised expressions. Of course they understood the painting:

The sea was covered with clouds, the waves were turbulent, and the weather was changing. In a transparent room by the sea, a thin little gray cat was leisurely pacing on the table by the window, looking at the sea.

A little girl held her chin in her hands and looked at the glass fish tank on the table. There were three small goldfish and a few water plants floating in it.

She was in a daze, with an inexplicable emotion of loss and helplessness. Not only was this painting lifelike, but it also vividly brought the depressing atmosphere and mood to life on the page.

"She is really a genius in painting!" Ye Ranyi sighed, and Jin Ziming nodded in agreement.

The third day of competition began, and the host introduced:

"Today we are testing the understanding of twenty-seven children. The Immortal will teach the most basic method of breathing and breathing on the spot.

This time it is still targeting the Laogong point on the palm of the hand. The soul boy needs to use the opening and closing of the acupoints to affect the external spiritual energy. Compared with the first day, this round is obviously more difficult.

Because they need to use Laogong to work on a few hairs in the light mask within four hours in an aura environment with different attributes from their own.

In the absence of contact, the position of at least one of the hairs must change to be considered qualified.”

For the ordinary audience, this day was very dull, and some people left the venue early without waiting for the end.

In this round, a total of nine soul boys were eliminated, and Meng Yu successfully advanced again and reached the finals.

The fourth day finally arrived.

"Today is the last day of the draft, and it will also be a very exciting day. The eighteen selected soul boys will undergo a test of willpower and spiritual thoughts.

They have to go through seven levels. Before reaching each level, they are given a large amount of exercise, such as long-distance running, walking with weights, rock climbing, jumping on the spot, etc.

Children will be exhausted. When they reach any level, there will be a paragraph of text or a set of irregular numbers that they need to memorize.

The examiner will only read it once, and they will remember as many as they can, and this cycle will continue until the last level.

At the end, the children will be asked to recite the words or numbers in each level, and then they will be scored and sorted according to the accuracy." The host's introduction pushed the audience's enthusiasm to a climax.

This round was extremely enjoyable to watch, and the shouts in the venue were loud, further making it more difficult for the soul boy to remember.

When the sun sets, this draft competition officially ends.

"The final results will not be announced on the spot, so please wait patiently overnight.

Tomorrow at six o'clock, guards will post lists all over the main island to announce the list of ten people selected by the immortals, and they will also mark which five people are practicing in the palace and which five people go to the inland to join the immortal sect."

After enjoying the children's performance, the young couple went to the beach to have a delicious barbecue.

After dinner, we walked hand in hand on the beach, letting the gentle sea breeze blow on our faces, and enjoying the sweetness and warmth in the sound of the ebb and flow of the tide. It was not until midnight that we returned to our residence.

Most of the residents and tourists who had been excited for four days fell asleep, and Jin Ziming sat cross-legged in his room, meditating.

In the dead of night, except for the waves crashing on the shore, everything was silent. After more than an hour, the man suddenly opened his eyes.

To the north, from the direction of the open sea, a demonic aura was rolling in. When I identified its aura, it turned out to be a siren at the peak of the fourth level of Dzogchen.

She quickly arrived at the main island and flew directly towards the palace. The man waited for hundreds of breaths, but did not hear the sound of a battle between the Nascent Soul and the demon in the later period.

"It seems we are old acquaintances and we are getting along peacefully again." Jin Ziming cursed in his heart.

"It's strange that it's so late and the sea monster sneaked into the palace. I'm afraid it's not a good thing, right?"

Perhaps he was concerned about the little girl with big eyes and clever eyes. By some strange coincidence, he released a ray of soul and quickly entered the palace. After a little analysis, he discovered where the two strongest auras were.

Although the sea monster's cultivation level is a little higher than that of human cultivation, his soul is at the late stage of the fourth level, so naturally he cannot detect the fifth level of spiritual consciousness that has sneaked into it.

In the huge royal back garden, the place had already been cleared, and the emperor's "grandfather" could only be heard saying calmly:

"Hu Sang, you came a little later than usual."

"Gongsun Yi, do you still care about this little time? I was only temporarily delayed." Siren smiled sinisterly.

The black mist that enveloped her dispersed, revealing her true appearance, which turned out to be a huge colorful jellyfish.

She is suspended in the air, opening a huge transparent "umbrella" with an orange-red core and black wrists below.

The diameter of the "umbrella" is nearly two feet, with fifteen feet of whisker-like tentacles hanging from the edge. The ends of the hands are colorless silk sacs, which contain hollow stinging threads and venom.

Gongsun Yi threw the two objects at the jellyfish and said:

"This is the list of ten people selected this year, their spiritual attributes, and the distribution plan I recommend.

The images of ten people are all recorded in this photographic stone. After reading it, you will understand that I divided them very reasonably."

Hu Sang held the piece of paper in the air, briefly browsed it, then activated the photo stone and began to watch it silently.

After reading it carefully, she thought for a while and said:

"It's not a big problem if you divide it this way, but you need to change someone.

Among the five people given to me, if there is a girl named Meng Yu, I can exchange Li Chenxi for you, his earth attribute is very weak."
