There were twenty test points for the Seven Mysteries Wu Fu, and after the exam started, they formed twenty long queues. As a result, the square was not so crowded anymore.

  Twenty stone pedestals stood at the entrance of the Seventh Imperial Palace, and in a moment, the numbers that lit up on the pedestals would determine the fate of the examinees present.

  At this time, a beautiful woman in her thirties walked onto the examination platform. "Hello everyone, I am one of the examiners for the strength test. Next, I will announce the overview of this assessment of the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture. The assessment is divided into three parts, and passing all of them is considered qualified. At the end of the exam, the examiner will select the top ten based on the examinees scores in the three rounds, age, and talent evaluation to receive the assessment reward. For this assessment, the first prize is the Red Golden Dragon Marrow Pill!"

  A red golden dragon pill was spoken out, and the examinees in the field, including the sons of aristocratic families, were all amazed and tongue-tied. Some with weak strength couldnt help but reveal expressions of regret and depression, because they were destined to not be able to get first place. The higher the reward, the more depressed they became. And some with strong strength had their eyes shining brightly, clenching their fists and rubbing their palms, as if this red golden dragon pill was prepared just for them.

  Lin Ming had also read some books about Dan medicine recently and had a certain understanding of the Hong Jin Long Mai Dan. This kind of Dan medicine was only the size of a grape, made from the dragon bone marrow of the Red Gold Dragon, mixed with various precious medicinal herbs and refined. It could greatly improve ones physique, enhance their cultivation, and even help warriors break through bottlenecks.

  The Red Golden Dragon is not a real dragon, but a fierce beast with some draconic bloodline. However, even though its not a true dragon, any beast that can be associated with dragons isnt weak. Ordinary later-stage experts arent its match!

  The Tianyun Empire originally didnt have many postnatal experts, and no one knew how to refine this medicine, so the Tianyun Empire doesnt produce Hong Jin Long Mai Dan!

  Theres no doubt that this medicine came from the Seven Mysteries Valley. Every year, the Seven Mysteries Valley would distribute some elixirs to various direct-affiliated academies as prizes to attract talents to participate in the assessment.

  Perhaps for Qī Xuán Gǔ, the Red Golden Dragons Marrow Pill wasnt too precious, but in Tiān Yùn Guó, it was absolutely priceless, to the point where even influential figures from great families would be envious.

  The beautiful woman did not give the excited or depressed examinees time to discuss, and she continued: "This time, the top two or three can get a Golden Snake Scarlet Dan, and the rest of the fourth to tenth place, each with ten Aggregation Pills."

  Jīn shé chì dǎn wán is a medicinal material made from the gallbladder of a hundred-year-old red golden snake, which has a reddish-golden color and hence its name. Although its not as rare as Hóng Jīn Lóng Suǐ Dān, its still an extremely precious and hard-to-find medicine.

  However, when it comes to the聚元丹, which is worth 200 taels of gold per piece and only 10 pieces for 2,000 taels, its a notch lower. Not that the聚元丹 is bad, but it depends on what you compare it to. The first two types of elixirs are worth 10,000 taels or even tens of thousands of taels of gold, and they may not be available for sale at all.

  The generous reward excited the self-proclaimed geniuses, who seemed to be eager to take the stage. Looking at these enthusiastic young men and women, a youth wearing brocade clothes and a jade belt sneered, accompanied by an attendant dressed in silk.

  The flattering smile said: "These people are really not self-measured, this Red Golden Dragons marrow pill is already in the young masters pocket, and they also want to get involved?"

  The young man smiled slightly, opened a folding fan and shook it twice, without saying a word. He was Wang Yanfeng, the genius of the Wang family in Yue Lu City, with a four-star talent. At present, he had cultivated his body to the early stage of the third layer. He had once won the first place in the Yue Lu City Elite Competition. Its worth noting that Yue Lu City is a big city, and this first place is quite impressive.

  The beautiful young woman on the stage continued: "Next, we will begin the first round of assessment, Strength Check. All warriors participating in the test, please use your full strength to attack the stone stele. The light pillar that appears on the stone stele represents one hundred kilograms of power per inch. If it reaches one foot, which is equivalent to one thousand kilograms of power, you will be considered qualified! Each person has three chances, and as long as you qualify once, its fine. Next, lets take a look at a demonstration. Ling Sen, please come."

  As the beautiful woman spoke, a slender man with a cold expression walked onto the stage.

  He wore a suit of black armor, with a three-foot long knife on his back. Although it was broad daylight, as soon as he stepped onto the stage, people felt the temperature around them drop by several degrees.

  "Its Ling Sen!"

  "Eldest Brother of the Seventh Rank of the Heavenly Mansion!"

  Ling Sen is obviously very famous, Lin Ming didnt know him and asked Lin Xiaodong beside him: "Who is Ling Sen?"

  Lin Xiaodong was not very diligent in his usual practice, but he was extremely enthusiastic about gathering intelligence and gossip. He clicked his tongue twice and said: "This Ling Sen is the eldest senior brother of the Seventh Xuanwu Sects Tianzhi Branch, that is, the most powerful one in the Tianzhi Branch. He is 20 years old, with a fourth-grade heavenly gift, and has reached the peak of the fourth layer of body refinement. He entered the Tianzhi Branch last year and then volunteered to go to the border battlefield to fight for a year. His current combat strength is difficult to estimate, and some people say he will soon enter the fifth layer of body refinement."

  At the age of twenty, he has already entered the fifth level of Body Tempering? Lin Ming was slightly surprised. Generally, a martial artist who enters the Bone Forging Realm before the age of thirty is already quite exceptional. Moreover, Ling Sens entire body exuded a strong killing aura, clearly indicating that he had killed many people on the battlefield. Such a person must be an expert among experts at the same level.

  Ling Sen casually walked to the front of the testing stone monument, he hated this kind of demonstration, but every time the assessment was made by the great master brother of Tian Zhi Fu, it was a convention aimed at letting these self-proclaimed geniuses take a hit, making them understand that there is always someone better out there.

  Ling Sen stood casually in front of the stone stele, without seeing him make any preparatory movements. With a wave of his right hand, there was only a "peng" sound, and the force-measuring stone stele shook violently, the light column jumping wildly, finally stabilizing at four feet nine inches.

  4,900 kilograms!

  The scene was filled with gasps of shock and admiration. This Lin Sen seemed to have not used his full strength yet, if he had used his full strength, it would definitely exceed 5,000 kilograms!

  Seeing this result, Lin Mings eyelids also twitched, and Ling Sens strength was almost twice his own!

  Lin Xiaodong said: "Nothing surprising, he is one of the strongest among the younger generation in Tianyun City. If he couldnt achieve this result, that would be strange."

  Lin Mingdao said: "One of the strongest among the younger generation? Cant Qin Xuan win against him?"

  Lin Xiaodong shrugged and said, "I dont know how strong Qin Xuan is, but Qin Xuans skills are quite miscellaneous. Ling Sen specializes in killing techniques, and if its a real life-and-death battle, I think Qin Xuan may not win. Moreover, dont forget that Qin Xuan is only 15 years old, while Ling Sen is already 20."

  When Lin Xiaodong said this, Lin Ming nodded slightly.

  The six realms of the Refining Body period, the further back, the greater the gap in strength. The power of a cultivator in the Condensing Pulse period is roughly around 8,000 jin. Lin Ming is still very far from this realm.

  "The assessment has begun!" At this time, the middle-aged beautiful woman on the stage issued the command to start the strength test.

  Young examinees were eager to try one by one, rubbing their fists and palms, but when they really came into contact with the force-measuring stone tablet, there were not a few who failed.

  "Nine hundred catties, eight hundred and fifty catties, eight hundred and fifty catties, three times unqualified! Next one!"

  "Nine hundred and fifty catties, nine hundred catties, nine hundred catties, three times unqualified, next one!"

  Many candidates who were brushed down had barely reached the second level of physical training, and if they were in their peak state, they could also hit 1,000 jin. However, being in a peak state is not always possible, and with the added pressure of an exam, they can usually only manage to hit **100 jin, and naturally get eliminated.

  "One thousand jin, qualified." The team Lin Ming was in had produced a qualified candidate. That qualified candidate was so excited that he clenched his fist and let out a loud whoop. In fact, he also understood that although he had barely passed, it was still very possible for him to be eliminated in the second round. However, being able to pass the first round of the Seven Profound Martial Houses examination at the age of sixteen was already an honor.

  "One thousand three hundred catties, pass!"

  "Nine hundred and fifty catties, unqualified!"

  When the results come out, those who fail hang their heads in shame and leave dejectedly, while those who succeed are either ecstatic or take it calmly. For some geniuses, passing this test is a matter of course.

  At this moment, a commotion suddenly occurred in the queue, Lin Ming glanced sideways and saw a tall youth wearing a green hemp robe standing in front of the Force Measuring Stone Stele, accumulating strength to attack.

  Lin Ming was curious about who this person was, and then he heard someone discussing: "This is Sun Ping of Dongshui City, with a cultivation base of Three Heavy Bodies, his strength is very powerful."

  Those discussions had yet to cease when Sun Ping made his move, and with a loud "peng" sound, the light column on the measuring stone stele shook violently before coming to a stop at two feet three inches.

  "Two thousand three hundred catties!"

  For the first time someone broke two thousand catties, and a burst of astonishment erupted from the crowd.
