King of Nine Heavens

Lin Wannian originally did not know who Shangguan Yujie was talking to, but seeing that Shangguan Tianming was so angry that his face turned green, he immediately understood and laughed to smooth things over, "Little Commandery Princess, actually, we don't know how this Testing Stone was able to test a person's talent. This is because this Testing Stone existed since the founding of the Xiaoxiang Palace, and has existed for hundreds of thousands of years."    

    

Shangguan Yujie said in a slightly disappointed tone, "So it was my fault that you didn't know. I was just asking out of curiosity."    

    

Little girl, admitting your wrongs is really quick, making it hard for others to say anything bad about her. Zhu Qinghua felt as if she saw herself in Shangguan Yujie's shadow twenty years ago.    

    

Lin Wannian cleared his throat and spoke with a deep and heavy voice, "Although we don't know the origin and the reason, but this old man can responsibly tell you that the Testing Stone's test results are absolutely accurate.    

    

"Of course, there is no absolute, only relative. For example, even if your test number is the highest, it only means your talent is high. It doesn't mean that your cultivation will be high in the future.    

    

"Little Commandery Princess, do you understand what I'm saying?"    

    

Shangguan Yujie was a smart girl, so she did not need to think twice before bowing respectfully, "Uncle Lin, your niece understands the good intentions behind your words."    

    

After a long time, Lin Wannian nodded in admiration: "Little Commandery Princess, you should go and take the test."    

    

A person's talent was just a reference value. If one didn't train diligently and lay down on their talent points to take a nap, others would quickly surpass them.    

    

Shangguan Yujie said respectfully, "Alright, niece will test her talent now."    

    

Lin Wannian looked at the back of Shangguan Yujie who was walking towards the Testing Stone, and said to Zhu Qinghua: "This girl is very similar to you in the past, I'm more and more interested in her."    

    

"You want to take her in as your disciple? No way, she's from our girls' academy." Zhu Qinghua said snappily.    

    

Lin Wannian looked at the tens of thousands of young people in front of him and exclaimed, "I plan to ignore the matters of the world. After all, this era belongs to the young people."    

    

Lin Wannian was not old, and was not even sixty years old. According to the age at which Xuanwu Continent were generally able to live for more than a thousand years, sixty years old should still be in the young age.    

    

Zhu Qinghua didn't understand why a youngster said such dejected words. "Senior Brother, do you want to go into seclusion?"    

    

Lin Wannian sighed. "I do want to go into seclusion, but there is something on my mind that has yet to come."    

    

Hearing Lin Wannian talk about his lingering worries, Zhu Qinghua became sad and asked, "Senior Brother, are you sure Master is still alive in this world? However, if he is still alive in this world, then why hasn't he returned to his Xiaoxiang Palace for the past fifteen years? "    

    

Lin Wannian said helplessly, "I also need to clarify this issue."    

    

Lin Wannian also didn't know what happened that year either, he only knew that fifteen years ago, the Xuanwu Continent had decided to hold a meeting to clean up the evils.    

    

Xiaoxiang Palace had originally been arranged for a Vice Palace Master to lead a team to participate in the assembly, but when they were approaching the assembly, the Vice Palace Master used the excuse that his body was not well enough to participate in the assembly, and the other Vice Palace Masters were either doing other tasks, or cultivating behind closed doors, or unable to participate in the assembly. In the end, the Palace Master personally led the team to the assembly, but before they could reach the assembly location, they encountered an ambush from an unknown person.    

    

Obviously, he was ambushed by evil, but the evil people refused to admit it, and there was nothing he could do about it. In addition, he was also not a righteous person, so he was afraid that the evil people might gather the forces to retaliate and leave it be.    

    

Afterwards, after receiving the news from a spy who had infiltrated the evil way, everyone knew that the person who had ambushed the Xiaoxiang Palace was the evil way. However, due to the heavy injury in the Xiaoxiang Palace, they didn't dare to find the evil way for revenge. Therefore, in these few years, the Xiaoxiang Palace has expanded the number of disciples they could recruit, with the aim of discovering and cultivating some peerless geniuses.    

    

He did not know if it was because he was too hasty, but not only did he not cultivate any outstanding experts, he had instead raised mediocre people. Fortunately, the skinny camel was bigger than a horse, and Xiaoxiang Palace had attracted quite a few young talents from various places.    

    

However, in these few years, his Xiaoxiang Palace had been insufficient to meet his expenses, and he did not dare to recruit core disciples on a large scale.    

    

This way, a lot of talented people would be lost, and doing so with Xiaoxiang Palace, it was also a helpless action.    

    

Thinking about this, Lin Wannian felt a headache coming on. He sighed helplessly and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's see what surprises Little Commandery Princess Shangguan will bring us."    

    

Shangguan Yujie walked in front of the Testing Stone, placed her palm on top of it and slowly injected spirit energy into it. The light grew brighter, the green quickly turned yellow and the yellow quickly turned red.    

    

An inch or two later, the red light continued to grow at a crazy rate, surpassing the maximum requirement of one chi.    

    

Lu Wei had never seen this kind of situation and was at a loss. When Lin Wannian and Zhu Qinghua saw the crazily growing light, they both smiled in satisfaction. This was indeed a well-deserved reputation.    

    

Shangguan Tianming smiled happily at first, because Shangguan Yujie really did not disappoint him. However, his expression then changed drastically as he said nervously, "Yujie, stop it, the Testing Stone is already saturated. If you keep on pouring spiritual qi in, the Testing Stone will be broken by you."    

    

Hearing Shangguan Tianming's reminder, Lu Wei also reacted. He walked closer to Shangguan Yujie and said: "Little Commandery Princess, quickly stop. The Testing Stone is broken, the people behind can't be tested anymore."    

    

Shangguan Yujie liked to play a prank, but she was a very sensible person. She knew that playing a prank in this situation would affect her image, so she quickly moved her hand away from the Testing Stone and asked: "Elder Lu, how many points can I get?"    

    

Lu Wei looked at the jury and saw they scored a perfect score. He quickly said, "A perfect score, twenty points."    

    

"It's only 20 points." Shangguan Yujie said with a face full of disappointment.    

    

Don't you understand what I'm saying? I've already said that my score is full, so why would you think that it's too low?    

    

Lu Wei's face slightly darkened. If not for the fact that she was Shangguan Tianming's niece, he would have probably exploded at her.    

    

Lu Wei felt Shangguan Tianming's displeased gaze and quickly said with a smile, "Little Commandery Princess, how many points do you need to be satisfied?"    

    

"This isn't a question of how much I want, it is a question of how much my talent is worth." Shangguan Yujie looked at the Testing Stone and said, "Your Testing Stone's full score is twenty, and my spirit energy is almost bursting it, so you should at least give me twenty-two points, right?"    

    

Seeing Lu Wei's troubled expression, Shangguan Yujie looked at the crowd and said, "Big brothers and big sisters, you all saw my ability just now, so I think it's a little too much, right?"
