On the square.
When Lin Kui's name appeared on the eighth floor of the Giant Spirit Stele and was tied with Lu Qingshan's name, a thought flashed through everyone's mind.
Sure enough, the strongest was still Lin Kui who had perfected the Golden Elixir.
The Lin Family Head, who was nervously watching the changes in the rankings on the Giant Spirit Stele, could not hide his happiness at this time. His eyes flashed. "Well done, next is to surpass him!"
Lin Kui himself did not care much about the Qingzhou preliminary test, which did not have a specific ranking.
But as the head of the Lin Family, what he cared about was completely different from Lin Kui.
In Lin Kui's eyes, the fame that was flashy but not practical could be turned into real resources for a family.
Under his burning gaze, the Giant Spirit Stele once again surged like a storm. A name flashed with golden light, and amidst the clamor of the crowd, leapt towards the empty spot at the top of the Giant Spirit Stele.
The Lin Family Head's face stiffened.
Although the name that jumped up was difficult to see because of the golden light, the name that was still on the eighth floor was clearly visible.
There, it showed … Lin Kui.
…
Lu Qingshan passed through the raging spiritual storm and landed on the floating island on the ninth floor. Perhaps it could not be called an island because the area here was so narrow that it was like a courtyard.
Lu Qingshan casually found a place and sat cross-legged, waiting for the preliminary test to end.
Half an hour later, a figure broke through the spiritual energy storm layer, flashed out, and landed lightly beside him.
It was Lin Kui.
"Fellow Daoist Lu," Lin Kui greeted Lu Qingshan again and also found a place to sit cross-legged.
.....
As time slowly passed, the number of cultivators still in the Giant Spirit World became fewer and fewer.
In the outside world, the spectating cultivators were even more nervous.
The cultivators in the Giant Spirit World did not know how far away they were from the top 1,000, but the spectators were very clear.
At this time, there were only 1,100 names left on the huge Giant Spirit Stele.
On the ninth floor, Lu Qingshan and Lin Kui were side by side.
The eighth floor, which followed closely behind, was completely empty.
After that, from the seventh floor to the fourth floor, there were more than a thousand people scattered around.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the three hundred plus names on the fourth floor.
The reason for that was because when over a hundred of those names disappeared, the preliminary examination had officially ended.
"Hang in there! As long as you hang in there until these hundred or so people are eliminated … Senior Apprentice Brother, you'll be able to go to the Middle Martial Domain to participate in the semi-finals." A junior apprentice sister was praying for her senior apprentice brother.
There were also some elders who were worried for their own disciples. There were also some who clenched their fists and were even more nervous than the participating cultivators …
"One thousand and eight!"
"A thousand and seven!"
.....
At the last moment, some people even began to count in a low voice.
"A thousand!"
Finally, when another name disappeared from the Giant Spirit Stele, a voice rang out.
The Fufeng City Governor's majestic voice resounded from the Giant Spirit Tablet. "The Seven Regions Dao Discussion's Qing Province preliminary test has officially come to an end!
The cultivators whose names are still on the Giant Spirit Tablet will represent the younger generation of the Qing Province and head to the Middle Martial Domain to participate in the semi-finals of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion. "
In the crowd, several people's faces were ashen, and they were speechless.
That was because the cultivator from their clan was the last person to be eliminated, the so-called one thousand and first place.
Being only one step away was always the most tragic.
.....
In the Giant Spirit Realm, strange noises resounded in the sky. Following that, rays of golden light appeared and descended, enveloping the thousand cultivators who were still in the Giant Spirit Realm.
In the next moment, they disappeared into thin air from the Giant Spirit Realm.
When Lu Qingshan once again appeared on the square where the Giant Spirit Tablet was located, it had been four days since he had participated in the preliminary examination.
Due to the large number of people involved, the preliminary examination was not bloody. It did not even allow the participating cultivators to fight each other. Naturally, it was a little dull and not passionate enough.
However, the ratio of forty to one out of forty thousand could be considered as adding a bit of cruelty to this peaceful preliminary test.
"As the most outstanding cultivators of the younger generation of the Qing Province, all of you will head to the Middle Martial Domain to participate in the semi-finals of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion." The Fufeng City Master's sharp gaze swept across the thousand young cultivators in the square, and he said in a deep voice, "In three days, all of you will gather at the Inter-region Transportation Formation of the city. Remember, there will be no waiting."
"Understood." Everyone responded, unable to hide the excitement in their hearts.
After he had finished explaining everything, the Fufeng City Master waved his hand, and a spiritual seal was cast on the towering Giant Spirit Tablet.
In the next moment, the Giant Spirit Tablet floated in the air, glowing with golden light. It spun continuously in the air, and at the same time, its size kept shrinking. In the end, it turned into a small jade tablet the size of a palm, and the Fufeng City Master kept it in his sleeve.
After that, the Fufeng City Master's figure flashed across the sky and disappeared.
As soon as the Fufeng City Master left, the huge square burst into an uproar, and all kinds of discussions could be heard.
Lu Qingshan did not mind. His figure disappeared among the crowd, and he was about to return to the Green Wind World.
"Lu Qingshan?"
"Brat!"
Two familiar voices sounded.
Lu Qingshan turned his head and looked at Lu Yuan, who had a look of disbelief, and Lu Zhou, who had a look of anger, who had appeared behind him. He chuckled and said, "Isn't this the Patriarch and Great Elder? Why are you here too? Could it be that you know that I'm going to participate in the Seven Regions Dao Discussion, and specially came to show your concern? "
After being teased by Lu Qingshan, Lu Zhou immediately blew his beard and glared at him. "You brat, you're still pretending in front of me!"
Lu Qingshan hurriedly apologized, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Great Elder, you're already so old. Please don't get angry so easily."
.....
"Tell me what happened." Lu Zhou stared at Lu Qingshan's face and asked in a low voice.
Lu Qingshan spread his hands. "I had some opportunities and a little talent. So, I accidentally reached my current cultivation base."
After hearing Lu Qingshan's explanation, Lu Zhou's face twitched slightly, and he smacked his lips. "In just two years, you accidentally surpassed Lu Yuan and I've cultivated for hundreds of years. You're really careless."
Lu Qingshan chuckled and did not reply.
Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and then sighed. He said in a weathered voice, "Your current cultivation base is second only to Qing Ling in the Lu Family. You're all grown up now, and we can't help you much.
When you go to the Middle Martial Domain, perform well and get good results. Also … come back when you're free. Although the Lu Family is small, you still have relatives here … "
Lu Qingshan's expression immediately turned serious, and he solemnly promised, "I know, Great Elder."
Lu Zhou patted Lu Qingshan's shoulder and said with relief, "You and Qing Ling are the pride of our Lu Family."
Then, Lu Zhou threw a storage pouch to Lu Qingshan and waved his hand. "There are many things to do in the family. Patriarch and I have been away for half a year, so we'll be going back first.
As for these, they're the Lu Family's token of appreciation. Brat, don't think it's too little. "
Lu Qingshan probed the storage pouch with his Divine Sense. It was filled to the brim with Spirit Stones.
These were indeed nothing to him now, but he silently put them away.
