This martial saint is too generous

There are always new people coming and old people leaving in the handyman's yard, but the one thing that never changes is the busyness...

Helan Villa was particularly lively today. There was an endless stream of carriages outside the mountain gate. Rich, gentry and wealthy households from all villages and towns within a hundred miles came to send their children to become apprentices.

Even in counties other than Hexiao County, wealthy households came here.

The horse-drawn carriage blocked the road ahead, so this group of pampered gentlemen had no choice but to hike up the mountain. Although the apprentices were young people, the gentlemen also wanted to show their faces in front of the villa.

Early in the morning, Qin Jinyang washed up, put on clean clothes, and still had 50 taels of silver in his arms.

He has entrusted someone else to take over his duties, and his current status is on leave.

Even though I have a solid foundation, the most absolute thing in the world is that there are no absolutes.

If you fail the assessment, you may have to come back and continue to be a guard.

It is also possible that... I will leave Helan Villa and find a way out elsewhere.

But the highest probability is to successfully enter the Hall of Health.

Qin Jinyang had made some insinuations during this time and had already found out the contents of the assessment.

it's actually really easy.

The villa has a courtyard that is usually sealed off, and there is a cave inside the courtyard.

The assessors only need to all enter the cave, and then sit on a huge spiritual stone to meditate. There will be a huge pressure falling in the cave, and the assessors will sweat when they bear the pressure.

When sweat falls to the ground, the surface of the spirit stone will rot.

At this time, the root is just mud.

The assessor must grit his teeth and persevere. Even if his body is in severe pain and his bones and muscles are cramped, he must never give up.

The pressure in the cave will become stronger and stronger. If the examiner can endure it, your constant dripping sweat will make the mud take root...

At this time, qualifications are just deadwood.

If you can continue to persist, the rotten wood will gradually harden and be covered with a layer of black metallic luster. This is the origin of the iron tree root bone...

At this time, the examiners will usually stop, and some will faint directly, which has nothing to do with their own willpower.

But for some people with extraordinary talents, the sweat continues to drip, and the rhizome covered with black luster begins to peel off the skin, and silver light will penetrate inside... the silver flower root bone.

As for the golden root bone, let’s not mention it...

The spiritual stone absorbs sweat and needs to be nourished with a special spiritual liquid. The spiritual liquid is expensive and Helan Villa does not have the ability to refine it, so it can only buy it at a high price, so it charges 50 taels from the assessment disciples.

According to Zhou Xiaosu's information, the cost of Helan Villa is actually about 90 taels.

A few years ago, the assessment fee was still 100 taels.

But in recent years, there is a Huangyun sect that has risen rapidly. Since the Huangyun sect has the means to refine spiritual liquid, it has opened a free test, and everyone, whether they are hungry people or heirs of wealthy families, can try it.

The reason is simple. As long as the test base is large enough, high-quality talents will inevitably be screened out.

Last year, the Huangyun Sect selected a golden man who was still a hungry man and directly recognized the leader as his adoptive father. Dozens of large sects in Yundong Province were shocked.

Yinhua root bones appeared one after another.

A newly rising force in the Huangyun Sect, just because it mastered the production of spiritual liquid, in less than 10 years, it was threatening to overwhelm the established forces like Lanshan Villa.

The competition between major sects is actually about talent in the end.

Helan Villa is also anxious, with test prices falling every year.

But there is no choice, even if you pay to recruit disciples, it is impossible to fight against the Huangyun Sect. As for selecting from the victims, it is even more nonsense.

What is even more annoying is that Helan Villa has to spend money to buy spiritual liquid from the Huangyun Sect. With the money sent, the Huangyun Sect can buy people's hearts and suck away more potential talents.

The leaders of the established forces also discussed this matter specifically, but in the end nothing came of it.

There are not many forces that can refine spiritual liquid. If you go to Kyoto to buy it, the cost of escorting it on the road will be 200 taels, which is not worth the gain.

Qin Jinyang also heard some rumors in the teahouse in the town. It seemed that the strongest sects in the seven Yundong provinces, including Helan Villa, were going to war against the Huangyun sect and forced them to share the secret recipe of spiritual liquid.

But it's most likely a rumor.

…

Qin Jinyang walked behind the crowd, keeping his eyes open.

Genguyuan is full of unfamiliar faces. In fact, except for the mess hall, there are very few people who can recognize Qin Jinyang. After all, the villa is so big, no one usually goes to the mess hall.

In the open space outside the yard, the family members have been blocked. Only the examiners can enter, and 50 taels of silver are also prepared with them.

When the gate of the courtyard opens, you only need to pay the money to enter.

Qin Jinyang waited patiently.

Others were chatting in small groups or closing their eyes to rest, but everyone looked a little nervous.

"Have you heard? The villa is going to build a new church. It is said that the leader is a young disciple of Shangdan Hall... The new church is different from other churches and will receive more resources."

Qin Jinyang mingled in the crowd and heard the assessors whispering to each other.

New church?

never heard of that!

This is normal, he is just a guard, and the information comes from Zhou Xiaosu and Gao Erhu. They are just disciples, so they are not worth mentioning.

Helan Villa protects hundreds of villages and towns in Hexiao County, and rudders are stationed in various places. The warriors have close contacts with wealthy households, so it is normal for a lot of information to be leaked.

Qin Jinyang didn't move his eyelids.

He has no interest in the new church.

Because of Dajiang Gong, he chose Hoshengtang.

"Have you heard? The master of the Wensheng Hall will not accept disciples this year, and the master is not in the villa... Fortunately, there is a new hall, otherwise we would only have the Yanhu Hall and the Huoqu Hall to choose from."

"Haha, don't you know the Hall of Fame? The hall will ask its disciples to copy books without any hesitation. If you are not careful, you will be expelled. Just don't accept disciples."

"But the leader of Housheng Hall is very strong. It is said that even the master of the village dares to touch him. He can cross ranks and fight against powerful enemies. His strength is not inferior to the two masters of Zhongshuang Hall."

"What's the use of being strong? We come to the villa to learn from a master, not to fight with the master."

Qin Jinyang's eyelids twitched.

Damn it!

The head of the Hall of Health and Wellbeing hasn’t come back yet?

He doesn't accept any disciples?

Damn it, my plan was suddenly disrupted.

I haven't seen Feng Duoying and Gao Erhu in the past few days, and Qin Jinyang's news is somewhat blocked.

Huoqutang!

Yanhutang!

Which should I choose?

Or, is it the new hall?

Whether the new hall can work or not, the hall leader is a young disciple.

…

Two disciples from Zhongshuangtang opened the courtyard door and everyone began to pay the fee.

The two inner disciples are both second-grade, about 40 years old. In fact, in the villa, there are two types of formal disciples.

The first type is young disciples who are vigorously trained by the Villa in order to achieve breakthroughs.

The second type is this kind of deacon disciples. They are old and their potential has been exhausted. It is a pity to abandon them without any purpose, so they stay as thugs and office workers. Their resources are also very few.

Of course, even if you are a deacon disciple, it depends on your qualifications and background, and it does not necessarily mean that your status is low.

Qin Jinyang lined up behind the team.

Soon, it was his turn.

"You...Qin Jinyang?"

As soon as Qin Jinyang took out the money, he heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw... an acquaintance.

Feng Zhongfu!

The master of the handyman hall, he was actually in the yard.

"Uh... I've met the hall master!"

Qin Jinyang's expression immediately stiffened.

so awkward!

An employee who was about to change jobs met his boss during an interview at the new company.
