Chapter 198 Ten Questions

Shen Tuyun stood up slowly.

She looked very noble.

She swept her eyes over almost everyone in the courtyard.

She was very strict with every disciple who wanted to join her, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was harsh.

This also made her disciples all cultivators who truly possessed the talent for making talismans.

To become a powerful talisman maker, talent and aptitude are very important.

Without good talent support, no matter how much hard work you put in, it will be in vain.

Suddenly, when her eyes swept over Yang Che, her heart suddenly moved, and there was a very moving look in the depths of her eyes.

In just a moment, she had already swept her eyes over and continued to scan the next person, fearing that someone would be able to detect her inner fluctuations.

The young Yuanying cultivator Mo Shaotian had been looking at his sister Mo Wenyue, but he did not notice the strange look in Shen Tuyun's eyes.

However, the elegant middle-aged scholar in the early stage of Jindan, who had been silently watching Shen Tuyun and seemed unwilling to look away for a moment, caught the slight change in Shen Tuyun's expression.

This surprised him greatly, and he couldn't help but look at Yang Che with a hidden gloom.

At this time, Yang Che was also very confused.

He felt that Shen Tuyun's eyes seemed to stay on him for a little longer, but it seemed like his own illusion.

Yang Che felt the unfriendly eyes of the elegant middle-aged scholar quite clearly.

Yang Che thought to himself that he had never seen this elegant middle-aged scholar, so he was naturally very confused about the eyes of this middle-aged scholar.

But soon he sneered in his heart.

If this middle-aged scholar didn't come to provoke him, it would be fine. If he dared to take the initiative to cause trouble for him, then it was no wonder that he was cruel and ruthless.

At this time, Shen Tuyun's face was still indifferent.

After she retracted her gaze, she whispered to a middle-aged beautiful woman who was in the late stage of foundation building beside her: "Zhong Rui, test the soul strength of all these people first, keep the top 30, and let the rest go back."

"Yes, Master."

Zhong Rui accepted the order and nodded.

This Zhong Rui was the beautiful woman who was responsible for collecting the full-patterned star-patterned stones and registering their names at the gate of the ancient house.

It can be seen that this middle-aged beautiful woman is highly valued by Shen Tu Yun.

A nearly transparent crystal light ball appeared in the hands of the beautiful woman Zhong Rui.

The moment he saw the light ball, Yang Che subconsciously cried out inwardly that it was bad.

However, when he found that this light ball was not the special light ball for testing the qualifications of immortal roots, he breathed a sigh of relief again.

When the cultivators stretched out their hands to test the light ball one by one, Yang Che found that the function of this light ball was to test the soul strength of a cultivator.

This light ball is very magical. It is not affected by the interference of the cultivator's cultivation. It can simply measure the strength of a cultivator's soul.

As a cultivator with a good attainment in formation, Yang Che soon saw that there was a rather sophisticated formation restriction in the light ball.

There were hundreds of people in the courtyard of this ancient house.

Yang Che's own cultivation had reached the early stage of Jindan, so he judged that if he took the top 30, it would be very easy for him.

Sure enough, when the middle-aged beauty Zhong Rui tested the souls of all the people, she determined the top 30, and Yang Che was among them, ranking eleventh.

This ranking made Yang Che look bitter again, and once again confirmed the helpless fact that his soul was weak.

In addition to the seven Jindan cultivators, there were three peak cultivators in the late stage of foundation building whose souls were stronger than his.

However, although Yang Che felt a little bitter, he did not fall into great frustration.

He believed that as long as he refined the "Soul Pill" and took it, his soul would definitely be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, to become a powerful talisman maker, the soul is only one aspect, and the understanding of the power of heaven and earth and the study of formations are also crucial.

Soon, the cultivators whose soul strength did not meet the requirements left unwillingly.

With the Yuanying cultivators present, they dared not cause trouble even if they were very unwilling.

Among the thirty people who stayed, Yang Che found that the sixty-year-old man Shi Yizhu, the dark-skinned strong man Niu Rong, and Mo Shaotian's sister Mo Wenyue were all among them.

It was not until then that the dark-skinned strong man Niu Rong, who was in the late stage of foundation building, discovered Yang Che. He immediately came over with his signature simple smile and bowed, saying, "Daoyou Zhang, you are here too."

Yang Che smiled faintly and bowed in return.

At this time, Shen Tuyun had already said: "Next, all thirty of you will accept my test. The test is not only related to talisman making, talisman, and talisman technique, but also involves some other knowledge. There are a total of ten questions, and you will be given half an hour to answer. In the end, I will select the top six according to your answers and the strength of your souls to become my registered disciples."

Shen Tuyun finished speaking, and with a light hand, Yang Che and others received a special jade slip.

"There are questions in the jade slip. Within half an hour, engrave your answers and names on the jade slip and hand it to me."

After speaking, Shen Tuyun suddenly glanced at Yang Che again inadvertently, and then added to everyone meaningfully:

"For those of you who are at a disadvantage in soul power, the answers to these ten questions are very important. If the answers are not good enough, there will definitely be no chance. So you must give the most meticulous answers."

After speaking, Shen Tuyun stopped talking, but slowly closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Yang Che and thirty other people immediately sat cross-legged on the cushions, entered the jade slip with their spiritual consciousness and examined it carefully.

Yang Che was stunned for a moment when he saw these ten questions, and then a little joy rose in his heart.

These ten questions were indeed mostly related to the power of heaven and earth and the formation restrictions. When Tianxie Ziyin taught him the way to make talismans, almost all of them were involved.

Now, for Yang Che, these ten questions are not only not difficult, but a little simple.

And because Tianxie Ziyin's knowledge is so broad, Yang Che's vision has not only been greatly improved, but also has some of his own experience.

After concentrating and thinking carefully, Yang Che carefully engraved his answers on the jade slip one by one.

When he finished the answers in the jade slip, he found that other cultivators around him were still struggling to answer.

Especially the sixty-year-old man Shi Yizhu beside him had a bitter look on his face, scratching his ears and cheeks, as if these questions were very difficult for him to answer.

And the black man Niu Rong, the iron tower, was actually calm and composed, as if he had a plan in mind.

Yang Che cast his eyes towards Mo Wenyue again and found that she was also thinking hard and didn't know how to answer.

As for the red-robed young man Mo Shaotian, he kept looking at his younger sister, and he also showed anxiety and concern.

Yang Che thought about it and decided to wait for someone to hand in the jade slip before handing it in, and never be the "first bird to stand out".

Soon, some of the Jindan cultivators finished their answers and handed in the jade slips.

Seeing this, Yang Che waited for a while before getting up and handing in the jade slips.

Soon, half an hour was up, and the jade slips had to be handed in regardless of whether they had finished answering or not.

Yang Che saw that the sixty-year-old man Shi Yizhu kept shaking his head, and it seemed that his answer was not very ideal.

Mo Wenyue seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her answer. Although she looked sad, her face was much better than Shi Yizhu's.

On the contrary, the iron tower strong man Niu Rong looked calm and confident, as if he had won.

After collecting thirty jade slips, Shen Tuyun said slowly: "I will determine the six candidates for disciples through the answers in these jade slips. If there are any doubts about the eliminated ones, I will also give explanations."

After that, Shen Tuyun began to check the jade slips one by one with her spiritual sense.

She checked very carefully.

When all thirty jade slips were checked, she picked out six of them and put them aside separately.

The rest were all put together.

"Zhong Rui, you announce the final candidates for me. Those whose names are called, come forward one by one."

"Yes, Master."

Soon, Zhong Rui announced the final candidates according to the names on the jade slips.
