Chapter Seventeen: Brilliant Talent and Unparalleled Beauty
"This is the Xumi Na Jie, which has a mysterious space inside?"
King Xuan Yang touched the Mustika ring on his finger, and a surge of spiritual energy suddenly penetrated in. In an instant, he felt an extremely wonderful connection with the Mustika ring. As soon as he moved slightly, the space inside the Mustika ring appeared in his mind, about ten cubic meters in size, not too big or small, and inside it was placed one or two jade boxes.
Needless to say, this should be the entry-level talisman and symbol.
However, compared to the storage ring of Xumi Na, these two things are far from comparable. Even a symbol master may not be able to obtain this kind of storage ring.
He finally understood why the assessment elder did not give him the Siminara in front of others, but instead used this method to cover his ears. It was clear that he didn't want the news of getting the Siminara to spread out, after all, this Siminara was too precious.
But he was puzzled, why would the assessment elder reward such a valuable Xumi Na ring?
Originally, the entry symbols and symbol seals were already precious enough.
The reward has been distributed, and the named assessment is also perfectly completed.
The elder examiner said a few more words of encouragement and then turned around to enter the examination hall, with a loud creaking sound, the large gate closed tightly.
The named disciples on the square also didn't stay for long and left the square one after another.
Soon, the crowd in the square dispersed.
Those who failed the assessment also started packing their things and preparing to leave Wudang Sect, while those who passed began preparing to enter the outer or inner gate.
"Wait a minute, Brother Wang."
At this time, Wang Xuan Yang was thinking of leaving the square when he heard Hou Xi Cheng's voice from behind.
"Is anything wrong?"
Wang Xuanyang stopped in his tracks, somewhat unexpectedly.
"Wang Shixiong, we'll be entering the inner sect together soon, let's get to know each other better!"
Hou Xicheng smiled and said.
"There are some people I really dislike."
Wang Xuanyang said lightly and left after finishing speaking.
Hou Xicheng's face stiffened, and he was somewhat slow to react, unsure of Wang Xuanyang's intentions.
It's hard to say whether this Wang Xuanyang dislikes himself?
It seems wrong, from his tone, it doesn't seem like he's referring to himself.
Several others were also shocked.
Only Hong Tianyu understood the meaning behind Wang Xuanyang's words, his gaze becoming even colder. "Hmph, even if you possess extraordinary talent, I, Hong Tianyu, will not be afraid. The inner sect is where it truly begins, and I don't believe I'll be inferior to you."
In the courtyard, Zhao Fu and others were silently packing their luggage.
Nobody speaks, it's very quiet!
As soon as Wang Xuanyang returned, they all looked over at him, their eyes revealing a complex expression.
If it were in the past, they would definitely come up and greet with a smile.
Now they are about to leave the Wu Xuan Temple, but Wang Xuanyang not only stayed behind, but also has the qualification to enter the inner gate, and is ranked first in the ranking list. From now on, he will no longer be a person of the same world as them.
They can only envy now.
Lin Tianping was not there. After taking a look at his room, it was already empty, and he had probably left early, apparently not wanting to meet Wang Xuanyang.
"Wang Xuanyang, let's go!"
Zhao Fu and three others carried a bundle on their backs. As they passed by Wang Xuanyang's gate, they said with a hint of disappointment.
Wang Xuanyang slightly nodded his head, and a hint of separation emerged in his heart. Although he was only a soul attached to the body, he didn't have much contact with them, but in the memories of his predecessor, there were still many moments of interaction with them.
The path of cultivation is indeed cruel, those who can't keep up will inevitably be eliminated.
Watching them leave, Wang Xuan Yang gathered his emotions and a sense of grandeur emerged. He hadn't been eliminated and would continue on.
He took a look at the small house he had lived in for so long, and no longer felt any attachment, striding out of it.
Next, I went to report at the inner gate.
As for entering the stage of talismans and artifacts, wait until you have entered the inner gate yourself, then go and refine them.
Inner Affairs Hall
This is the reporting place for inner disciples.
Only through the inner courtyard can one enter the inner gate.
At this moment, many people have gathered in the great hall of Nei Wu Tang, all of whom are newly promoted inner disciples.
There were nine named disciples, and the number of outer door disciples who advanced to inner door disciples was much higher, with at least 103 people.
These promoted outer disciples were all deeply cultivated, with nearly half of them being first-class Zhenqi, and the rest were all Da Yuan Man.
The number of outer door disciples who can be promoted to inner door disciples is very small, with less than thirty people.
Wang Xuanyang's arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention from many people.
In fact, as long as they are nominal disciples promoted to inner door disciples, they are all eye-catching.
Those outer door disciples who were promoted to inner door disciples generally had to be several years older, at least over twenty.
Like Wang Xuanyang and others, who were only 14 or 15 years old, with a huge age difference!
"This time there are nine named disciples, which is quite a lot."
On the other side, a group of outer disciples gathered, all of whom were first-class symbol masters. Among them was a robust young man wearing a white robe with sharp eyes like an eagle.
He looked at Wang Xuanyang and others with a playful gaze.
"There are indeed many of them, but although they have a good innate talent, I don't know if they can withstand the enormous competitive pressure within the sect? After all, the direct disciples who rose to fame in the inner sect are mostly unknown to the public!"
"This is normal too, without experiencing the tempering of the outer gate, how can you adapt to the competitive pressure of the inner gate? It's said that the outer gate is just a continuation of the inner gate!"
"By the way, I heard that this time's named assessment has an extremely valuable entry symbol instrument as a reward. How ridiculous! The first place in our outer gate assessment was only one entry symbol instrument for Brother Guo!"
"Which one is the first among the registered disciples?"
"It should be the one who just came in, this person is a dark horse, suddenly rising to fame with a single brilliant feat. It's said that this person possesses a treasure-level talent, heh heh..."
"Hmph, what a rare talent, it's just a greenhouse flower after all. Without experiencing any hardships, he's nothing. Let him make a name for himself in the inner sect first!"
......
Some outer disciples were discussing among themselves, with a few formal disciples showing disdain in their tone.
Named disciples directly promoted to inner door disciples, naturally making many outer door disciples extremely jealous. After all, direct promotion to the inner door is equivalent to saving a lot of time. The path of cultivation is like racing against time. Entering the inner door one day earlier means having a higher starting point than others!
These nominal disciples seem to be disdainful, but in fact they are jealous. Unfortunately, they do not have such a talented and beautiful gift, and can only slowly advance from the outer gate.
Of course, going through a setback also has its benefits, and one can gain great tempering from it.
Some disciples who were directly promoted to inner door disciples could not withstand the intense competition within the inner door and were quickly eliminated.
This is very normal.
Wang Xuanyang listened to all sorts of discussions without changing his expression, then found a corner and sat down cross-legged.
He can feel that there is a lot of spiritual power in himself to explore.
It's clear that this is a level one talisman that can project spiritual energy externally.
But he doesn't seem to have felt it at all.
"Is everyone here?"
After an unknown period of time, a faint voice rang out.
Everyone looked back and saw a young man in the hall who had appeared out of nowhere.
This young man has a face as beautiful as jade, extremely handsome, wearing a green robe, giving people an extremely clean and elegant feeling.
And this young man is carrying a sword!
This sword is extraordinary, with a strange aura wrapped around it. In this aura, there seem to be many symbolic shadows flowing within.
This is a talismanic sword!
As soon as the young man appeared, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone feels an invisible pressure, as if it permeates the soul, leaving no gaps.
Even those who were first-class wizards had solemn faces, and no matter how they manipulated the symbols, they couldn't dispel this pressure.
Able to make them all unaware of the fluctuations in spiritual power, at least a first-class symbol master, and possibly even an advanced symbol master.
And what's even more frightening is that this person is so young.
Generally speaking, only when one reaches the level of a Symbol Master and condenses their Void Spirit can they maintain their youthful appearance.
However, even a first-class talisman master cannot extend his lifespan, and neither can the Talisman Sect.
It is said that there was a Zongzong who always maintained the appearance of a young man, but one day he suddenly died without any illness, which is a manifestation of dying of old age.
If one cannot advance at a faster pace to reach the level of Xuan Zong, and then break through to an even higher level, then the path of cultivation may be terminated prematurely due to insufficient lifespan.
It is precisely because of this that the stronger one's innate talent, the faster their cultivation speed, and the greater their chances of breaking through to higher levels.
There is only one explanation for this young man being able to maintain his youthful appearance: he has already broken through to the Symbol Master level as a youth, condensed his Void Spirit, and preserved his eternal youth.
This kind of talent is absolutely stunning and unparalleled.
