As he spoke, the boy pointed at a painting on the wall of the bamboo building.
Everyone nodded their heads. This painting was the only painting in the entire bamboo building. It was unknown who had written it, but it depicted a goshawk fighting in the sky.
This painting was extremely clever. The goshawk's iron wings and steel feathers, its silver claws and golden hooks were all clearly displayed.
At first glance, everyone could feel an incomparably sharp aura rushing towards them. When everyone looked at this picture, they felt a slight pain in their eyes. It was as if this eagle would break out of the paper in the next second.
"The elder has said. Creating a medicinal seal is too complicated. Therefore, if you want to learn this, talent is extremely important. For students without talent, even if they come to learn, it is purely a waste of time. And this piece of nine profound black wood in front of you is the most important tool to test whether or not you have the talent to create medicine. "
The boy cleared his throat, solemnly rolling up his sleeves.
"Your task right now is to carve the nine profound black wood in front of you into the appearance of the goshawk. Finally, based on the work you carve, you will be able to determine your talent. After everyone has finished carving, the elder will come out to make a decision. "
As he spoke, the boy took out a sharp Spirit carving knife from upstairs and handed it to everyone. Nodding his head, he said, "Everyone, let's begin."
"This thing is nine profound black wood? This is going to be painful … "Someone let out a low sigh. The nine profound black wood was incomparably dense and tough. Even if it was cut by a hundred refined steel weapon, it would still not be broken. It was one of the hardest Spirit woods that could be harvested in the Spirit Spring Forest.
To carve on this kind of wood, even with the help of a sharp Spirit carving knife, the cultivator needed to have an extremely high level of Spirit qi to be able to carve it.
And among everyone, apart from Chu Chen who had just stepped into the Spirit spring stage, the other people's cultivation had more or less reached the [Peak of the Mortal spring stage] or even the [Earth spring stage].
Generally speaking, people at this level of cultivation could already barely carve the nine profound black wood.
And Chu Chen, who had stepped into the Spirit spring stage not long ago and had just reached the "second stage of the Mortal spring stage", appeared to be the one with the lowest level of cultivation. Therefore, the first few people glanced at Chu Chen, revealing a gloating expression.
"Haha, I did not think that this elder would be like this, to actually let us carve something like the [Nine Profound Black Wood] … But with that little brat who has just stepped into the Spirit spring stage as a scapegoat, even if someone were to lose face, it would be him who would lose face first."
"That's right. With that brat at the bottom, we don't have to worry anymore. Even though we're in front of the crown prince, we won't seem so useless … If the crown prince thinks highly of us and accepts us as his subordinates, we'll really have a meteoric rise."
"Yes, everyone, work hard this time and perform well in front of the crown prince …"
…
With Chu Chen's sharp spiritual sense, he could even sense the movement of a mosquito's toes, let alone the whispers of a few people.
But with his personality, he did not have the time to pay attention to these people who only dared to whisper behind his back. Therefore, he picked up the [Nine Profound Black Wood] in front of him and carefully examined it.
The [Nine Profound Black Wood] was known as one of the hardest spiritual trees. Therefore, its internal structure was very different from normal trees.
Normally, the internal patterns of wood were striped. Because of the difference in material, density and water absorption, there were different layers of structure.
The [Nine Profound Black Wood] was completely black. The internal patterns of the wood were not striped, but rather a structure similar to fish scales. And this fish scale pattern was especially fine. Touching it with one's hand, one could feel a smooth and warm feeling, just like fine iron.
In the ancient times, there was a sage who once said, "The so-called carving, is to remove the unnecessary corners."
Therefore, the most important thing in carving was to follow the pattern of the wood. The special fish scale pattern of the [Nine Profound Black Wood] was countless times more complicated than ordinary striped patterns. This also determined that the difficulty of carving it was far greater than ordinary materials because there was no way to straighten out the pattern.
Therefore, even with Chu Chen's spiritual sense, when he picked up the [Nine Profound Black Wood], he felt like he had nowhere to carve. Therefore, he slightly frowned and began to carefully examine it.
On the other side, while Chu Chen was carefully examining every inch of the [Nine Profound Black Wood], Shen Qian had already begun to carve.
The little fairy knew very well how hard the [Nine Profound Black Wood] was. Therefore, she used all of her spiritual power. A dazzling spiritual power light blossomed from her fingertips and the entire spirit carving knife became dazzling.
Although she was mentally prepared, Shen Qian was still a bit surprised when she really started carving.
This piece of black wood was too hard. She had already used all the spiritual energy in her body, but every time she tried, she could only carve a shallow scratch on the black wood … How long would it take to carve an eagle out of this??
Shen Qian had already begun to carve.
Huangfu Yin smiled slightly and shook his hand slightly. Vast and vigorous spiritual power wrapped around the spirit carving knife, and it was like an elegant butterfly dancing.
The outstanding disciple of the Heavenly Court immediately showed his extraordinariness. Everyone saw the spirit carving knife turn into a dazzling lightning bolt that danced in the air. The black [Nine Profound Black Wood] wood chips scattered in all directions. There was no trace of strenuous or stagnant feeling.
"As expected of Senior Martial Brother Huangfu! This level of cultivation is truly breathtaking! "
Seeing the incomparably gorgeous scene in front of him, the man in purple sighed slightly. His face was full of reverence.
Not to mention other things, just by looking at how hard it was for Shen Qian to carve, one could tell how hard this black wood was. However, this wood, which was harder than refined steel, was like sand in Huangfu Yin's hands. There was no feeling of hardness at all. Just this control of spiritual power was enough to be called extraordinary.
"Of course, His Highness' cultivation is above all the students of the Medicine Palace. A mere [Nine Profound Black Wood] is nothing!" Next to the man in purple, a woman in a yellow dress smiled softly and looked at Huangfu Yin with sparkling eyes.
"The students of the Heavenly Court are really worthy of their reputation." Li Taixin sighed softly and began to carve. After all, he was an old man, so he was very cautious.
Li Taixin's carve was very steady. Often, he would think for a while before carving. It seemed that he was correcting the position and strength of his carve at any time. He looked very serious.
Not far from him, Qi Fei, who had been cold-faced, finally began to carve.
