The west gate of the Nanming Academy was filled with people. More than a million people had gathered here, waiting for the talent test of the Nanming Academy's lower house.
For the children of commoners, the only chance to change their fate was to join the Nanming Academy. And the only chance to join the Nanming Academy was to be tested with transcendent-grade fire talent.
Although the resources and conditions of the Nanming Academy's lower house were far inferior to the Nanming Academy's upper house, it was still an opportunity.
As long as one could enter the Nanming Academy, even if it was only the lower house, there would be a glimmer of hope. As long as one worked hard enough, one could rise from the lower house to the upper house sooner or later.
Inside the west gate of the Nanming Academy, there were ten test points arranged in a row. In front of each test point, there was a long line.
Every year at this time, the Nanming Academy would hold a test meeting to recruit talented young people from the commoners to join the Nanming Academy's lower house.
The Nanming Academy's upper house was specially built for the rich and powerful. It had the best things, but to be honest, it could not recruit many talents in a year. For thousands of years, the number of people recruited every year was basically less than ten. There had never been an exception.
Although the number of people recruited was small, anyone who could enter the Nanming Academy's upper house would definitely become an overlord in the future. The high success rate was simply unimaginable.
As for the Nanming Academy's lower house, it was specially built for the commoners and the poor. It did not look at age or strength, only talent.
The success rate of the Nanming Academy's lower house was far from comparable to the upper house. However, every year, there would be a few students from the lower house who would be promoted to the upper house. As long as they entered the upper house, they would be able to enjoy the best things.
Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Children of commoners continuously entered the test points to take part in the test.
Most of the young people left with faces of disappointment. After a full hour, three to four thousand people were tested, but only three people passed the test. This was a one in a thousand chance!
Among the ten test points in the west gate of the Nanming Academy's lower house, at the third test point from the left, a skinny youth with a pale face who looked malnourished slowly walked in.
Upon closer inspection, this youth had dashing eyebrows, starry eyes, and a sharp nose. Although he looked sickly, he was still considered a handsome young man.
Of course, this handsomeness was only the handsomeness of ordinary people. Even among ordinary people, he was only above average.
After entering the testing area, the young man looked left and right curiously with a face full of curiosity.
Upon closer inspection, the inspection point was very simple. On a long wooden table made of mahogany, there was a red crystal ball placed on it.
A middle-aged woman sat behind the wooden table. She looked to be in her forties, but judging from the aura of a Martial Emperor emanating from her body, she was definitely not in her forties or fifties.
Looking at the skinny boy, a middle-aged female Martial Emperor in the testing area said, "Name, age …"
When he heard the female Martial Emperor's question, the slender young man replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Luo Yun, 18 years old this year!"
Eighteen years old? Luo Yun …
Looking up and down at the slender young man, the middle-aged female Martial Emperor seemed a little confused, but she still nodded and said, "Okay, now … put your right hand on the crystal ball."
Nodding his head, the slender youth named Luo Yun gently pressed his right hand on the crystal ball.
Whoosh …
With a whistling sound, a red flame rose from the center of the crystal ball and burned fiercely.
Looking at the red flame, the slender youth's face was full of confidence. It was obvious that he had absolute confidence in his own talent.
This Luo Yun was naturally Chu Xingyun.
In order to hide from everyone and avoid detection, Chu Xingyun ordered Hua Nongyue to quickly gather all the ingredients within three days.
Then, Chu Xingyun rushed to the Demonic Ant Hall. Using the black hole as the array core, he set up the Black Engulfing Sky Refining Array and refined a Rejuvenation Elixir.
This Rejuvenation Elixir was not an elixir that could change one's appearance. Instead, it was a miraculous elixir that could return the user's appearance to that of an 18-year-old.
When Chu Xingyun was 17 or 18 years old, he did not look like this.
The reason why Chu Xingyun was so perfect and handsome was because of the effects of Luo Lan's Green Lotus Connecting the Sky.
When Chu Xingyun was 17 or 18 years old, he had not yet accepted Luo Lan's Green Lotus Connecting the Sky and was still his original appearance.
Therefore, although Chu Xingyun did not change his appearance, only Shui Liu Xiang had seen his old appearance in the entire Qiankun World. Therefore, he did not have to worry about anyone recognizing him.
As for the name Luo Yun, it was also a fake name that Chu Xingyun had once used.
In addition, there was a reason why Chu Xingyun spent so much effort to refine a Rejuvenation Elixir instead of a simple Disguise Elixir.
If it was just a disguise, it would be very difficult to fool everyone. Not to mention the Martial Emperor, even a Nirvana Realm expert would be able to clearly see through the effects of the Disguise Elixir.
However, the Rejuvenation Elixir was different. It was not a disguise. It only restored one's appearance to that of an 18-year-old. Not to mention the Martial Emperor, even if the Emperor was here, he would definitely not be able to see through it.
Generally speaking, no matter if it was a boy or a girl, 17 or 18 years old was the most handsome and beautiful time of their life. Therefore … many girls hoped that they would forever remain 18 years old.
It was from this point of view that the ancient powerhouses developed this Rejuvenation Elixir. It was not a Disguise Elixir, but it was better than the Disguise Elixir. It could restore one's youth.
Do not underestimate this Rejuvenation Elixir. This was a peak Grade 8 elixir, almost a Grade 9 elixir.
It was only half a grade lower than the Grade 9 elixir that the Lingmu Emperor could refine.
In order to complete this set of ingredients, Hua Nongyue and Jun Wuyou had put in a lot of effort and effort.
The Rejuvenation Elixir could not only restore one's appearance to that of an 18-year-old. In fact … once the Rejuvenation Elixir was refined, it contained the Law of Life. Although the Law of Life was not complete, it did not only change one's appearance.
Now, Chu Xingyun's appearance was not the only thing that had changed. All of his physical conditions had returned to that of an 18-year-old.
The reason why the female Martial Emperor doubtfully repeated that he was 18 years old was because she instinctively felt that something was not right.
Being 18 years old was not strange. However, how could an 18-year-old youth have such a calm and experienced temperament? Moreover … his realm was as high as the 6th Sky of Nirvana Realm!
However, with just a little observation, the female Martial Emperor knew that Chu Xingyun's words were true. Chu Xingyun really was a 17 or 18-year-old youth.
Although in the Qian Kun world, only 18-year-old Nirvana Realm experts were considered geniuses, reaching the 6th Sky of Nirvana Realm at the age of 18 was a bit too exaggerated.
Even if it wasn't unprecedented, it was still extremely rare to find someone like that in the future.
