The expressions of the cultivators present froze when they saw the age and cultivation behind that name. They were shocked beyond words.
An 18-year-old mid-stage Golden Elixir?
This was something unimaginable in their hearts.
There were close to 40,000 cultivators participating in the preliminary examination in Qingzhou. However, there were less than a hundred of them who had reached the Golden Elixir.
Not to mention that among these hundred people, apart from Lu Qingshan, all of them were cultivators above the age of thirty without exception.
They could imagine how big of a commotion this cultivator named Lu Qingshan would cause in Qingzhou.
…
"Grand Elder, could this Lu Qingshan be Green Spirit's son …?"
In a corner, a middle-aged cultivator carefully guessed with an old man beside him.
They were the Grand Elder of Zhenjiang's Lu Family, Lu Zhou, and the Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Yuan, who had sent their disciples to participate in Qingzhou's preliminary examination.
"The age matches perfectly. However, when he left Zhenjiang, wasn't he just at Foundation Establishment …?" Lu Zhou also had a confused expression on his face. After thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head. "I'm not sure either …"
Emotionally, he naturally hoped that this Lu Qingshan was that brat.
However, rationally, he knew that the possibility was too low. Lu Qingshan had only left Zhenjiang for two years. How could he have advanced from Foundation Establishment to mid-stage Golden Elixir?
How could it be …
It should be … impossible, right?
Although he kept telling himself to calm down, Lu Zhou's breathing unconsciously became hurried. His heart was boiling.
What if it was really that brat?
Feeling the countless hurried breaths around him, the Lu Family's Grand Elder, who had always been calm, could not help but slowly clench his fists in his sleeves. Anticipation rose in his heart.
He knew very well that if this Lu Qingshan was really that Lu Qingshan, it would greatly affect the Lu Family.
On the other side of the square, there was also a group of people gathered.
These people wore similar clothes. It was obvious that they were from the same family.
In front of them stood a middle-aged man in black.
The man had his hands behind his back. His expression seemed calm, but there was an extremely dark shadow hidden in his eyes.
"Who the hell is this Lu Qingshan? And why hasn't Kui 'er caught up yet?" He was the clan lord of the Lin Clan of Windfall.
Lin Kui, the only cultivator who had attained the peak of the Golden Elixir, was from the Lu family and was his son.
Lin Kui's Golden Elixir had already attracted the attention of many people.
It was even to the extent that in the eyes of most people, Lin Kui was probably the number one expert in Azure Prefecture during the Seven Regions Dao Discussion.
However, he didn't expect that he would get off to a bad start.
The Lin Family Head stared at the name on the Giant Spirit Stele, thinking about something.
He didn't know the specifics of the preliminary test, but since a mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivator had already reached the second level, there was no reason why Kui 'er, who had attained the peak of the Golden Elixir, would be so far behind!
Finally, an hour later, amidst the sudden uproar in the square, another name burst out with a golden light and rushed to the second level area with irresistible force.
When the light dissipated, the name displayed was:
Lin Kui (49 years old, peak Golden Elixir).
He had finally caught up.
The Lin Family Head pursed his lips. As he thought of this, his confidence was strengthened.
Lu Qingshan's talent was indeed amazing, but Kui 'er was definitely not bad either.
Regardless, Kui 'er was 30 years older than him. His cultivation was two minor levels higher. This was an indelible advantage.
Since there was someone better, the title of number one among the younger generation in Azure Prefecture would definitely belong to Kui 'er!
If he had to blame someone, he could only blame the timing of the Seven Regions Dao Symposium.
If he came a year later, Kui 'er would be over 50 years old and unable to participate in the Seven Regions Dao Symposium. No one would be able to compete with him then.
Perhaps this was Kui 'er's luck.
The Lin Family Head's thoughts were in a whirl. However, an even louder uproar immediately interrupted his thoughts.
He looked up and saw the Giant Spirit Stele shining with golden light again.
Just like before, the golden light rose like a hot knife through butter. Finally, under the shocked gazes of the surrounding people, it squeezed into the third level.
Lu Qingshan (18 years old, mid-stage Golden Elixir).
The Giant Spirit Stele was now divided into three areas.
The third level, one person, Lu Qingshan.
The second level, one person, Lin Kui.
And the countless names still in the first level.
The Lin Family Head's expression froze.
.....
In the Giant Spirit World of Azure Prefecture.
Lu Qingshan's Sword Kinesis Flight was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the border between the second and third level islands.
It was still the same layer of Spirit Qi storms. However, the Spirit Qi in the middle was more ferocious, shooting out like five-colored rays of light.
This layer of cloud sea was also deeper and more violent than what he had experienced before.
Lu Qingshan did not hesitate. With dozens of sword qi threads, he crashed into the turbulent storm layer.
In terms of power, the whirlwinds in this spiritual energy storm layer were indeed much stronger, but that was all.
If he remembered correctly, the first five storm layers of the Giant Spirit World were tests that Foundation Establishment cultivators could pass. The difficulty was not high.
The main reason was that the storm layer was wider. Advancing in it would consume a lot of Spirit Qi to resist the storm. Moreover, the safe zone was constantly shrinking. There was not much time for the cultivators to recover their Spirit Qi.
In such a situation, a large number of cultivators would fall out of the Spirit Qi storm layer because their cultivation was not strong enough.
A moment later, Lu Qingshan's figure broke through the clouds and jumped out!
This time was almost the same as the time when Lin Kui entered the second level. That was why the scene that the people outside saw appeared.
.....
In the outside world, half a day had passed. The names on the Giant Spirit Stele had changed dramatically.
It could be seen that the first level on the Giant Spirit Stele had disappeared into thin air. The names of the weakest cultivators were already in the second level.
This was because the safe zone in the Giant Spirit World had shrunk to the floating island in the second level.
The cultivators who participated in the preliminary test either reached the second level in the limited time or were eliminated. There was no third possibility.
As for the densely packed names on the Giant Spirit Stele, at this moment, half of them had disappeared into thin air.
In a corner of the square, many young cultivators had appeared.
They were the first batch of cultivators to be eliminated.
After being eliminated, a portion of them left quietly.
However, there were even more people who chose to stay behind to watch the battle.
Although they were eliminated, they also wanted to see who the most outstanding cultivator of the younger generation in Qingzhou would be.
Then, their hearts twitched fiercely.
This was because the situation of the test in the Giant Spirit Stele displayed really stunned them.
