Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 85 First-Rank Technician Examination (Please Subscribe)

When we arrived at the maple tree courtyard on the mountain, Wang Xin was practicing playing the piano.

After practicing these past few days, her piano skills have made significant progress.

Zhou Ling opened the food box, which contained stewed chicken soup, meat buns, and spirit eggs.

Smelling the aroma of food, Wang Xin walked over with a delighted expression.

Start eating.

After Zhou Ling delivered the food box to his master, he talked to Wang Xin about the matter of evil cultivation.

"A heretical cultivator who eats people's souls, that's terrifying!"

Perhaps influenced by her master, Wang Xin no longer eats as slowly and carefully as before. While eating a steamed bun, she said with a surprised look.

"Yes, if the Xuan Ting Division can't get rid of this evil cultivator as soon as possible, the people in our area will live in fear every day!"

Zhou Ling said helplessly.

"So many Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lingxia Sect and the Xuanting Division can't even handle a mere Qi Refining late-stage evil cultivator?"

Wang Xin ate while chatting with Zhou Ling.

Although she felt that evil cultivators who devoured other people's souls were terrifying, they still seemed somewhat distant to her.

With her master on the mountain and her mother at home, she wouldn't feel any danger.

"Last year we ran into He Zijian and his group, right? At that time he said he was capturing evil cultivators. I don't know if it's the same evil cultivator or if a different one has appeared!"

Zhou Ling looked at the two meat buns left in Wang Xin's food box, reached out and took one, and started eating.

"There shouldn't be that many evil cultivators in Lingxia City?"

Wang Xin blinked her bright eyes and said with a hint of doubt.

"who knows."

Zhou Ling shook his head.

This morning when I left the city, there were noticeably fewer pedestrians on the road than in the previous few days.

A heretical practitioner has caused widespread panic.

"Zhou Ling, why don't you move here? It'll be safer!"

After finishing her meal, Wang Xin tidied up the food box and then said to Zhou Ling with some concern.

"This evil cultivator is skilled in soul attacks. I'm worried about my parents being at home!"

Although he didn't know his master's cultivation level, Zhou Ling knew in his heart that moving to the mountain to live was undoubtedly the safest option.

But he couldn't stop worrying about his parents.

"How about letting your uncle and aunt stay at my house for a few days, and then they can go back after the evil cultivator is caught?"

“Our area is inhabited by first- or second-grade technicians.”

"There are people patrolling every day, so it should be very safe!"

Wang Xin thought for a moment and then said.

Seeing the worry on Zhou Ling's face, Wang Xin also became a little anxious.

"This might disturb Aunt Wang; it's not appropriate!"

Zhou Ling politely declined Wang Xin's offer.

Wang Xin was thinking about her parents' safety, but Wang Yu has her own life, and her parents have their own lives.

My mother still needs to run the winery, so it's impossible for her to leave her home because of some evil practice.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "How many spirit stones does the rent cost per month in your area?"

He now has more than three hundred spirit stones in his possession.

If the Xuan Ting Division is unable to kill the evil cultivators in the next few days, then they should think of a way to move.

There's no need to take that risk.

Nobody knows who the heretical practitioners will target next.

“I don’t know either, but my mother said that only highly skilled technicians are qualified to rent rooms there.”

As Wang Xin spoke, she walked out of the main room.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling was stunned. He hadn't expected that this upscale residential area would have such entry requirements!
Wang Xin quickly came in again, washed her master's food box, and then asked Zhou Ling, "Zhou Ling, there's a first-grade magician assessment next month, are you going to sign up?"

"The First-Rank Technician Assessment!"

Zhou Ling murmured.

He immediately remembered that Lingxia Immortal City held two skill master certification examinations every year. Since Lingxia Immortal City was a second-grade immortal city, only first- and second-grade skill master certification examinations were eligible.

He hadn't paid attention to this matter because he was currently unable to draw a first-tier high-grade inscription.

"Xin'er, when will the assessment be held?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ling asked.

Although I am not yet able to draw a first-grade high-quality inscription, my spiritual consciousness cultivation has improved significantly in recent days through visualization practice.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before he would be able to create a first-grade superior inscription.

If you can make it in time, then give it a try.

After all, becoming a first-grade inscription master would bring a completely different status and treatment in all aspects.

Parents are proud too!
March 9th!

"My mother has already registered me for the first-grade alchemist exam, but I'd rather take the first-grade array master exam!"

"However, Mother said that if I pass the first-grade alchemist assessment first, I will receive extra points in the assessment of the six major academies in June."

"As for the formation assessment, we'll participate in it later!"

Although Wang Xin liked formations, she was always sensible and listened to her mother's arrangements.

Fortunately, she has amazing talent and is not lacking in resources.

Even though he was simultaneously cultivating alchemy and formations, he didn't fall behind at all, and in fact, his progress was even faster than Zhou Ling's, who had a cheat code.

"There are extra points!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Ling's eyes lit up.

If that's the case, March 9th still has about a month left, which is definitely something we can try to achieve.

Then, I inquired about the registration process for the assessment.

Fortunately, Wang Xin knew all of this.

After their conversation, the two prepared for their cultivation practice that day. Zhou Ling then said, "Xin'er, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with."

"Do you think it's possible to set up a high-grade first-tier magic array in my house to guard against evil cultivators?"

"Sure!" Wang Xin said with a delighted expression.

She was worried because she couldn't put the magic arrays she had learned into practice.

After all, magic arrays are not like magical artifacts or runes.

Even for a low-grade first-order magic array, the crafting of the array plate and array flags alone would cost thirty or forty spirit stones.

Moreover, once the magic array is activated, it requires the consumption of spirit stones every day.

It's not something that ordinary independent cultivators can afford.

"The first-tier high-grade magic arrays I'm currently setting up include the Spirit Gathering Array, the Azure Cloud Wood Array, and the Lightning Strike Array."

"The lightning strike array is mainly used for attack, but it consumes too much energy."

"The Azure Cloud Wood Formation can be used for both offense and defense, and its energy consumption is not too high. It can also condense wood-attribute spiritual energy, which is helpful to the soul and cultivation."

Wang Xin introduced them to Zhou Ling.

"What kind of energy consumption does the Lightning Strike Formation consume?" Zhou Ling asked.

"It will cost at least one hundred low-grade spirit stones to activate it once!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but swallow hard. This was indeed too much of a drain on his energy; it was beyond what he could handle at the moment.

"Then what about this Azure Cloud Wood Formation?"

"The Azure Cloud Wood Array is much smaller, and it consumes more energy than the Spirit Gathering Array when it is activated."

"If we launch an attack, it will consume twenty or thirty low-grade spirit stones at a time!"

"Moreover, setting up the Azure Cloud Wood Formation is much easier than setting up the Lightning Strike Formation!"

Wang Xin continued to introduce Zhou Ling.

"Alright! Let's set up the Azure Cloud Wood Formation!"

After considering it for a moment, Zhou Ling said.

After all, the evil cultivators only appeared by chance, and setting up the Azure Cloud Wood Array should be enough.

The two then discussed it further and decided that after completing their morning practice, they would go back to make arrangements in the afternoon.
