Chapter 298: Taking advantage of others and becoming angry
"Master, I wonder if my talent is good or bad?"
Looking at the various reactions of the bronze mirror, the young man asked.
"Good or bad talent?"
Jin Renfeng glanced at him and snorted coldly.
"What a smart guy!"
He waved his hand and said calmly,
"You are disqualified from the test, leave immediately!"
As soon as the words fell, two servants stepped forward and raised their arms, signaling the other party to leave.
"Disqualify me from the test? Why?"
The young man became furious and pointed at Shu Xiaoxiao and shouted loudly.
"I have also absorbed all the clear light like that guy. Similarly, my talent should also be of the highest level. What right do you have to disqualify me?"
"I don't agree!"
"Why? Because you violated the selection rules."
Jin Renfeng's voice was cold and his face expressionless.
"I have made it clear before that independent cultivators need to obtain the Spirit Sealing Talisman and seal their own skills before they can participate in the spiritual energy talent test."
"But what about you?"
"He is clearly an accomplished casual cultivator, but instead of coming to receive the Soul Sealing Talisman, he pretends to be an ordinary person to fish in troubled waters."
"If you don't follow the rules and violate the regulations, it is reasonable to cancel your test qualification."
"I am obviously an ordinary person. When did I become a casual cultivator? Besides, even if I am a casual cultivator, so what? Are casual cultivators inferior to others?"
The young man was unconvinced.
"Why do I have to go and get the Soul Sealing Talisman?"
Jin Renfeng had no expression on his face.
"A casual cultivator is naturally not inferior to others. But it will have an impact on the operation of the spiritual mirror."
"I have said before that this spiritual mirror has the function of accurately testing spiritual talents. However, in some cases, this magic weapon will be disturbed."
"If the person being tested has already practiced a technique, he can practice his own technique while taking the test, thereby trapping the spiritual energy of the psychic mirror in his body."
"By then, the test results will be much higher than the actual results, affecting this selection!"
"For this reason, we at Shenhuoshan Manor have specially prepared the Soul Sealing Talisman to help the scattered cultivators suppress their spiritual power."
"It is to accurately measure the spiritual talent of the person who wants to become a disciple and eliminate the interference of the practice."
At this point, he sneered.
"You are quite smart. You understood the operating principle of this psychic mirror very early on."
"He is clearly a casual cultivator, but he deliberately did not receive the spiritual talisman and pretended to be a mortal. He secretly performed his skills during the test, intercepted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and interfered with the talent test."
"All the clear light is absorbed by your technique. In this way, your talent is naturally at the highest level."
"Unfortunately, this method is too low-level and can't be hidden from us at all."
Jin Renfeng sneered.
"Being clever, cheating, cheating in selection tests, playing tricks"
"People like you who have bad morals will naturally be disqualified from participating in the competition. This will serve as a warning."
"Why do you say I am a casual cultivator? I haven't even entered the door of cultivation yet."
The young man said angrily.
Even at this point, he still remained stubborn.
Jin Renfeng shook his head slowly and patted the bronze mirror beside him.
"When this spiritual mirror tests talent, it is necessary to inject the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the meridians and run a special Qi circulation route."
"If someone interferes with the technique, it will definitely disrupt the flow of spiritual energy."
"In this situation, the spirit mirror will naturally sense it and flash red light to alert the sect."
Jin Renfeng turned his gaze to the young man with a look of contempt.
"When you tested it just now, the bronze mirror glowed red and trembled constantly. It was clearly a sign that someone was secretly practicing a technique."
"So, you still want to deny it?"
"After all, it's just your one-sided statement!"
"In my opinion, it is obvious that you are jealous of my outstanding talent and deliberately suppress me."
The boy yelled.
"I want to see the owner!"
As he said this, the young man broke free from the servant and rushed directly into the yard.
Jin Renfeng's eyes were cold, and the divine fire in his hand turned into a long whip. With a throw, the tip of the whip wrapped around the boy's waist.
Then he threw it casually, and the boy was rolled back in front of Jin Renfeng.
boom--
The boy fell to the ground, covered in dirt.
Jin Renfeng put his hands behind his back and scolded coldly,
"The facts are all before our eyes. No matter how you try to argue, it's useless."
"Based on your clever little actions, do you think that my master will take you in after you meet him?"
"I just used reasonable methods to improve the test results. What's wrong with me?"
The boy argued.
"You didn't say before that casual cultivators are forbidden to pretend to be ordinary people. Why do you punish me after I did it?"
"Although I didn't explain it in detail, the specific process and purpose of the test have been made very clear."
Jin Renfeng's eyes were bright,
"If you are really smart, you should know that when I recruit disciples at Shenhuoshan Manor, talent is the most important thing."
"You can cheat for a while, but you can't change your own abilities. If this continues, it will affect my entire villa."
"Punishing you is the only option, both publicly and privately."
"If we let you in, what about the others who are participating in the selection according to the rules?"
“Is it fair to them?”
"Even so, you shouldn't disqualify me from the test. I just made a small mistake. I can just take the test again!"
The young man said confidently.
"Why disqualify directly?"
Jin Renfeng flicked his sleeves,
"Our Shenhuoshan Manor values morality the most. This time we are accepting disciples who are of good character."
"You have evil intentions and are opportunistic. You are not suitable for Shenhuoshan Villa!"
"Don't bother me anymore, leave now, or I'll be rude to you!"
Then two servants came forward and were about to push him out the door.
Seeing that Jin Renfeng was ruthless and showed no mercy.
The young man's eyes were red, and blood-red magic power flowed out of his body, directly shaking away the two servants. Then he held a dagger in his hand.
Seeing this, the two servants dared not move forward.
"They say they don't care about our background, but in the end they still discriminate against independent cultivators like me. This damn Shenhuoshan Villa is full of people who are just seeking fame and reputation!"
"My fellow Taoists, please do not trust this Shenhuoshan Villa. With the attitude of this family, once we enter the sect, they will definitely make things difficult for us casual cultivators!"
"In my opinion, we should all quit together and prevent this broken place from receiving any disciples."
The young man yelled wildly, trying to incite a group of wandering cultivators to cause trouble together.
"That's enough! You cheated yourself, who can you blame?"
A casual cultivator spoke up.
"I'm glad that they didn't bother with you!"
"This isn't even a test yet! Why are you using those cheating methods?"
"Maybe if you don't cheat, you can still pass it!"
"You can't pass the test yourself, but you want to drag us down with you. You're crazy."
A number of sarcastic voices rang out.
The many independent cultivators were not fools. They knew clearly what was right and wrong in what happened just now, so they would naturally not listen to his nonsense.
Seeing that no one supported him, the boy suddenly felt ashamed.
"Why, you show your weapons, are you planning to fight?"
Jin Renfeng glanced at the dagger and said calmly.
Being forced into a corner, the boy's face turned red and his chest heaved.
After struggling for a while, he actually rushed towards Jin Renfeng, stabbing out with the dagger in his hand. "Jin, if you dare to cancel my test qualification, I will teach you a lesson!"
The young man was furious and his eyes were filled with hatred.
Seeing the other party taking action, Jin Renfeng was not surprised but laughed.
He raised his right hand, slapped it casually, and snatched the other's dagger.
His left hand was like a flying dragon's claw, lightly grabbing the man's neck.
A string of fire spread out from the palm of his hand, like a spirit snake, binding his limbs tightly.
A spirit-sealing talisman was also affixed to it, sealing off the magical power around him.
In just a few breaths, the boy was completely subdued.
"You are so bold as to hurt someone in my Shenhuoshan Villa!"
Throwing it on the ground casually, Jin Renfeng sneered.
"Come here! Send him out and hang him up for three days as a warning to the public, then send him to the government office for trial."
Upon hearing the order, the two servants fetched ropes and took the boy away.
After dealing with this ignorant person, Jin Renfeng turned around and looked at the others.
"Please remember, anyone who cheats in the test will be disqualified and will never be hired again."
"I hope you all keep your mind upright. Don't be like that person."
"Yes!"
Seeing the young man's fate, everyone was awed and responded quickly.
With Wu Xiu De as an example, subsequent independent practitioners no longer dared to commit fraud.
All were tested honestly.
This also greatly improves the efficiency of testing.
It took half a day to complete the first test.
. . . . . .
After lunch, Jin Renfeng and Huai Zhu brought a group of testers to a house on the east side of the villa.
Compared with the front yard, this yard is very desolate and empty.
There were two large tiled houses in the courtyard. In the middle was a huge bronze bell more than one meter tall. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
When they saw the bronze bell, the boys and girls understood that the bronze bell must be the magic weapon for this test.
"The second talent test will now be carried out, the test of the spirit and soul."
Jin Renfeng spoke.
“Although spiritual energy talent is the most important thing for a cultivator, the spirit and soul are also indispensable.”
"As the saying goes, essence, energy and spirit are the three treasures of a cultivator, and none of them can be missing."
"Only when the spirit is strong and the soul is stable can you control magic weapons and spells with ease. Your spiritual perception will also be more sensitive."
"But other Taoist families don't have this kind of test."
An older man who was practicing as a casual cultivator questioned.
"Even for a royal family, they only test spiritual talent. There has never been a test of the spirit and soul."
Having participated in the selection of Taoist Alliance families many times, this casual cultivator is very familiar with the screening processes of many families.
"This test was decided by Master and I together."
Jin Renfeng said lightly.
"It is a unique test content of Shenhuoshan Villa."
"If you don't want to accept it, you can withdraw now."
After hearing this, the casual cultivator waved his hands quickly.
"I'm just asking, I don't want to quit."
He finally came across a noble sect that didn't value background, and he didn't want to give up in vain.
Jin Renfeng nodded and continued,
"In fact, adding this test is not to increase the difficulty or embarrass you. It is to better discover people with talents."
"There are hundreds of kinds of life, each one is different. Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses."
"Some people have strong spiritual talents, while others have weak spiritual talents."
"There are always people with different talents. Adding this test is also to discover more talents with strong spirits and souls."
“Avoid casting a pearl in the dark!”
Whether it is fighting against creatures outside the circle or refining weapons and drawing talismans, the spirit and soul are very important.
For this reason, Jin Renfeng specifically proposed to his master that this talent test be included in the selection process.
"By the way, if you perform well in this test, it can make up for the shortcomings of the previous spiritual talent test."
After hearing this, those who had performed poorly before looked excited.
With this test, they still have a chance to change their fate.
Jin Renfeng walked to the bronze bell and introduced it.
"The bronze bell beside me is called the Soul-Shaking Bell. Its sound has the effect of shaking the soul."
"The victim's soul will remain intact, but will fall into a coma."
"But those with strong spirits and souls can resist the effects of this Soul-Shaking Bell. The stronger the spirit and soul, the longer one can stay awake."
"Master, this bronze bell is a magical weapon of the immortals. Those immortal masters who have brought skills to learn from you may be able to resist it, but my child is just an ordinary person. How can he resist it?"
A fellow parent said worriedly.
"Don't worry about this. Although this bronze bell is a magic weapon, its power is weak. Even an ordinary person can withstand it without any consequences."
Jin Renfeng explained,
"As for the issue of independent cultivators, we have also considered it. Because independent cultivators have already entered the door of cultivation, their spirits and souls are indeed stronger, so the selection criteria for independent cultivators are considered separately from those for ordinary people."
"I see. Thank you for your answer, Master."
The parents began to express their gratitude.
"I will ring the bell later. Please be ready."
Jin Renfeng walked to the side of the bronze bell and stood there, reminding.
Upon hearing this, many young boys and girls were ready for battle.
thump—
Seeing that everyone was on guard, Jin Renfeng clapped his hands.
The sound of the bell rang out slowly, like the sound of eternity, long and clear.
Under his control, the power of the magic weapon was concentrated on the many testers present.
bang bang bang-
In the instant when the bell rang, the three boys and girls fell down.
Jin Renfeng was not surprised. The boys and girls who fell were all younger children, so naturally their spirits and souls were a little weaker.
The palms continued to clap.
Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong
The bell rang continuously, and the sound waves echoed in the courtyard.
As the soul-shaking effect was activated, everyone concentrated and resisted the discomfort in their souls.
At the same time, people could not bear it and fell unconscious.
With each knock, Huaizhu beside him would write down the name of the person who fainted.
In the crowd, Shu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and endured it.
Every time the bell rang, she felt as if her head was being hit by a hammer into countless pieces, and her whole body trembled.
"I must endure it. This is a good opportunity to become an immortal and change my fate."
The girl murmured to herself.
Soon, only Shu Xiaoxiao and a group of casual cultivators were left standing on the field.
Glancing at the crowd, Jin Renfeng was surprised to see that the girl had persisted for so long.
