“Hmm?”
Ping Yuzi immediately turned his head to look, revealing a smile on his face.
“Already opened a dragon vein after half a day’s time? Not bad, not bad indeed.”
Hum~
Right after he finished speaking, someone else also opened a dragon vein. The bright golden radiance was blinding and tantalizing.
After that, more and more people began to open a dragon vein, one after another. The whole plaza soon filled with the golden radiance.
“Hahaha… nice!”
Ping Yuzi laughed happily, “Looks like this year’s recruitment is going to be interesting. I remember that last year’s first place only managed to open a dragon vein after a whole day’s work.
“This year’s batch is quite alright.”
The light veil was opened and someone walked inside. There were four people, including Bai Yu and Xiao Yuhui.
The four of them had been standing outside and were obstructed from watching by the light veil.
Naturally, they had walked in after feeling that someone had opened a dragon vein.
“Already someone has opened a dragon vein. Looks like it’s very likely that someone is going to open two, maybe even three dragon veins today!” Bai Yu said with a smile.
“I wouldn’t hope for three. Two would be good enough for me.”
Ping Yuzi looked at the man in the blue robes that had first opened a dragon vein and asked, “If I remember correctly, he’s Leng Yihui from the Leng Clan of the Nanqing County Capital City. Am I right?”
“Right.” Xiao Yuhui nodded.
“I have heard that this man has already opened eight dragon veins. He seems to be quite promising, as he has opened yet another dragon vein here. If he is able to open another one, it would be ten dragon veins and would be able to match even yourself!” Ping Yuzi teased.
Xiao Yuhui’s expression remained calm, and she did not say anything else.
This was a test of potential and was not real.
Leng Yihui might be able to open two dragon veins here. However, it didn’t mean that if he were given a stack of gold grade spirit items, he would really be able to open ten dragon veins.
If that were the case, then the Martial Dragon Continent would have already been filled with cultivators that had ten dragon veins.
“Hu Zhengyao from the Huang’an County Capital City seems to be promising. He’s already opened nine dragon veins, and if the Frost Cloud Sect can nurture him generously, it shouldn’t be hard for him to open his tenth dragon vein,” said Bai Yu.
“Hahaha!”
Ping Yuzi laughed merrily, “Whatever the result may be, the Frost Cloud is going to profit greatly from this. Who could have thought that so many geniuses would show up? Putting aside cultivators with ten dragon veins, even cultivators with nine or eight dragon veins are hard to find. Who could have expected that an absolute genius like Xiao Yuhui and these fellows would come out from a place like the Far Mountain Province. Looks like this land is truly a land of geniuses with great feng shui!”
Bai Yu and the others also nodded slightly. They also couldn’t have thought that so many geniuses would appear here.
Reasonably, people with such talents could even join an eighth or seventh grade sect. They could not expect preferential treatment there, but it would still be a higher grade sect.
“Yuhui, didn’t you say you thought Su Han was promising?”
Bai Yu smiled. Then, he scanned the plaza and finally laid his eyes on the figure in white robes.
As he looked at Su Han, Bai Yu suddenly paused and asked curiously, “What is he eating?”
Xiao Yuhui also noticed Su Han and saw that he was throwing something into his mouth every now and then, with no intention of cultivating. A touch of embarrassment appeared on her face.
“This man is so reckless no matter where he goes.” Xiao Yuhui had an urge to roll her eyes.
It’s not that she had lost faith in Su Han, but that she couldn’t understand why Su Han couldn’t just do what he was told in a Frost Cloud Sect test.
How could you choose to spend your time eating when other people are busy opening dragon veins and cultivating?
“Humph!”
Ping Yuzi felt mad after seeing Su Han. He snorted coldly, “This brat doesn’t respect the Frost Cloud Sect test at all. He just threw away the illusory stack of gold grade spirit items, saying that it wasn’t of any use to him. You think I don’t know that? It’s fake; what use could it have for anyone? It’s just that we’re trying to evaluate his potential in this stage. Am i supposed to give him a stack of real gold grade spirit items?”
Seeing how mad Ping Yuzi was, Xiao Yuhui couldn’t help but speak up. “Su Han, what are you doing? You only have half a day left. If you don’t start opening dragon veins soon, you might end up as the last place.”
“Last place is fine to me,” Su Han said indifferently.
“You!”
Xiao Yuhui puffed her cheeks as her busty breasts bounced up and down. She also seemed to be quite mad.
However, when she thought about Su Han’s twenty dragon veins, her anger soon dropped rapidly.
After all, Su Han had already opened twenty dragon veins. Even if he were given a stack of real gold grade spirit items, it probably wouldn’t be of much use to him.
“Leave him be. This man isn’t fit for the Frost Cloud Sect anyway,” Ping Yuzi said coldly.
If it were anyone else, this sentence would have decided their fate. However, Su Han couldn’t care less.
“This is who you think is going to get first place?”
Bai Yu shot a glance at Xiao Yuhui and smiled lightly. “Doesn’t seem like he’s going to get it.”
“You’ll soon find out whether he’s going to get it or not,” said Xiao Yuhui.
…
Another three hours passed.
Hum~
At this moment, another humming sound rang out from Leng Yihui’s body. He had opened yet another dragon vein!
“Tenth vein!”
Ping Yuzi’s pupils constricted. Then, he laughed freely. “Hahaha… this Leng Yihui has good potential after all. He’s opened yet another dragon vein. After he joins the Frost Cloud Sect this year, I shall make him my personal disciple if no one else wants to fight for him.”
“Congratulations, elder,” Bai Yu and the others all said with a smile as they cupped their fists.
In the blink of an eye, dusk arrived.
A smudge of red raised into the skyline and reflected itself through the golden veil of light, illuminating the people inside.
“Done!” Ping Yuzi suddenly shouted, awakening all of the younger cultivators who were busy opening dragon veins.
“Sigh, I didn’t get to open it.”
“That sucks; if I had just a little bit more time I would have been able to open it.”
“It wasn’t too bad. I was able to open one dragon vein.”
Waves of disappointment and regrets as well as excitement rang out from the crowd.
A large portion of the several thousand people had failed to open even one dragon vein. Only about a hundred people had opened one dragon vein.
The only person who had opened two dragon veins was Leng Yihui.
“None of you have to feel disappointed or regretful. At least you all tried.” Ping Yuzi’s words were a bit cold.
Hearing this, everyone froze for a short while, thinking that Ping Yuzi was trying to imply something with his words.
Indeed, Ping Yuzi looked at Su Han and snorted coldly. “You all probably know this man. His name is Su Han and he is so cocky that he doesn’t care about the Frost Cloud Sect’s potential test. This man had the courage to throw away the spirit items. I really wonder if you would have also thrown it away if I had given you a stack of real spirit items.”
After hearing this, someone in the crowd laughed mockingly.
