Chapter 237: Chapter 236: Lin Ruling Stirring Trouble

“Consider yourself passed.” The words were forced out through gritted teeth by Xizhi, allowing Jiang Li to pass the test.

“Why so reluctant?” Jiang Li muttered. Apart from the content, he thought his painting was pretty good.

“I’m done painting,” Song Ying’s hand shot up. Excluding Jiang Li, she was the first to finish. However, she didn’t want to steal Qin Luan’s limelight, so she waited a while before announcing her completion.

Song Ying’s work met Xizhi’s standard; an old ox blissfully enjoyed itself under a big tree, lazily grazing, its thick tail swinging back and forth.

Besides, Song Ying’s painting skill was exceptional. The old ox she painted was lifelike.

Song Ying often liked to paint in her free time, with most of her subject matter being her imaginary married life with Qin Luan.

Having seen all sorts of strange and monstrous images, Xizhi finally saw a normal work of art.

She even had an impulse to embrace Song Ying and declare that she was the true disciple of the painting deity.

“Passed. ”

The little white fox called out, signaling Xizhi to come over.

The little white fox was full of pride, shaking its tail that had a touch of black at the tip. It used its tail as a brush to paint.

“The painting is good, you pass.”

Although the little white fox hadn’t observed how an old ox ate grass, it thought about how it wagged its tail with happiness when its power was restored.

So, it put itself in the old ox’s shoes and painted an ox with a swinging tail.

“You got it wrong, eliminated.”

“You got it wrong, eliminated.”

“You got it wrong, eliminated.”

One after another, people announced their completion, but all did not meet Xizhi’s standard and were ruthlessly eliminated.

Lin Ruling, who spent a lot of money promoting himself, actually did have real talent and passed the first test.

Those who were eliminated left the Cloudwater Secret Area, and Yuan Wuxing, waiting outside, had been waiting for a long time but his beloved disciple still hadn’t come out.

“Strange, even with Qin Luan’s painting skills, he could pass the first test?”

Yuan Wuxing felt he had been impulsive when he initially rejected Mr. Jiang’s kindness. Otherwise, he could have made it through the first round.

“The first test is over, prepare for the second one.” As the voice died away, the ink painting blurred as if it had fallen into a lake, its lines spreading out into ink spots.

When the ink spots became clear again and turned back into lines, everyone realized they were in another ink painting world, also only in black and white.

This place is a resource-rich mountain with lush and abundant spiritual fruits, spiritual grass, spiritual beasts, like the lifegiving peaches, soul-stabilizing Nurturing Soul Fruit, and the Six-spin Aquatic Grass that greatly benefits water attribute cultivation techniques…

“The second level of painting, seeing a mountain is not a mountain, seeing water is not water, the most important thing for a painter monk is to have the ability to pierce through illusions to find reality. Most of the treasures here are painted, but a small part is real, just camouflaged by the ink painting technique. ”

“The second test is to find a real treasure, but you only have one chance.” Only the voice of Xizhi was still echoing without any figure in sight.

Barely Xizhi had finished speaking, a cultivator practicing water attribute spotted the rarely seen six-spin water grass in the outside world and couldn’t suppress his greed, pulling out a plant.

If this were real, he could reduce his cultivation by sixty years, and leap to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator!

The black and white Six-spin Aquatic Grass was still in black and white.

Fake.

“Failed.”

Upon seeing their first failed competitor, the cultivators who reached the second level became frantic. The joy they had felt when they passed the first test disappeared immediately.

The cultivators all exhibited their divine skills. Some opened their Heavenly Eye to discern truth from falsehood, some scattered water around, hoping to wash away the ink, while some pulled out the “Spiritual Plant Guidebook” and stooped down to compare the shape of the spiritual plants.

The last cultivator had just squatted down when he was sent flying by a wild boar that had appeared out of nowhere.

“I forgot to mention, the spiritual beasts here are all fake, but their strength is real, be careful.”

The cultivator who was sent flying had the most valid opinion. It was a wild boar that had attained the perfection of the Golden Core Stage.

They were just messing around. Who could tell that this Golden Core Stage wild boar looked ordinary, and had no distinction from a regular wild boar.

Fortunately, Xizhi wasn’t too excessive and controlled the strength of the spiritual beasts at the Golden Core Stage. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have been a test of perceptual ability, but a test of combat power.

“How about it, which one do you plan to pick?” Jiang Li asked Li Er.

The second test posed zero difficulty for the two of them. What they needed to consider was not what to find, but when to look for exceptional heavenly and earthly treasures.

“I think that Old Dragon Transformation Tree looks good. It’ll increase the chance of transforming into a true dragon by one point. It can be used by my precious daughter.”

“I remember that Li Nian’er is only at the Nascent Soul Stage. You only consider transforming into a true dragon when you advance to the Body Integration Realm, aren’t you thinking too far ahead?” Jiang Li was speechless. “Your

Body-incorporating Sect and West Sea Dragon Palace are so wealthy, don’t you already have similar treasures? Do you really need to come here to compete for opportunities with the younger generation

“Most importantly, you asked Xizhi for help with painting, and now you’re just going to pull out the most precious tree. Is this how you ask someone for a favor?”

“So, according to your thinking…”

“Select the least valuable item. Just passing the test is enough.”

“Understood.”

Jiang Li shook his head helplessly. Li Er’s thinking wasn’t much better than that of Zhang Konghu, with only a slight edge.

Qin Luan and the two beautiful women along with a female fox attracted a lot of attention, especially from Lin Ruling who loved to show off.

If he could defeat him, he would definitely make a name for himself.

Without any hesitation, Lin Ruling jumped out to challenge Qin Luan. “Qin Luan, isn’t it? I’ve found you displeasing to my eyes for a long time…”

“How pitiful, running around aimlessly with weak eyes. I have medicine for it here, just one drop can cure you.” Qin Luan sympathetically offered Lin Ruling a bottle of medicine.

“Displeasing doesn’t mean there is something wrong with my eyes!” Lin Ruling’s veins bulged in anger as he forcefully built up his rationale. “Beautiful women should only belong to the strong. Those who are incompetent do not deserve favor from two beautiful women…”

Qin Luan glanced at Song Ying, then at Aguna. They were indeed two beauties, but they didn’t favor him. It seemed that Lin Ruling’s words weren’t targeting him, but he still conscientiously corrected Lin Ruling’s view.

“How can you say that only the strong deserve beauties? Is it that beauties are only destined to be abducted by the strong? You’re not talking about the strong, but robbers. And there is no evidence to prove that being favored by beautiful women necessarily correlates with being competent. ”

“Lin Ruling, I heard you are a cultivation genius who is destined to surpass the Human Emperor in the near future. How could you be so shallow in your understanding? I am very disappointed in you. Your words are not carefully considered and are likely to make enemies easily. It’s a good thing that I am a calm person, willing to reason with you..

“I challenge you!” Lin Ruling simply gave up on finding an excuse.

“Should have said so earlier, Five Thunder Orthodox Techniques.” Qin Luan lightly uttered a sentence.

The sound of thunder echoed through the sky. Lin Ruling, who was lifted into the air, was struck by Qin Luan’s move un til his entire body darkened, and started belching smoke.

A supreme elder of the Five Thunder Orthodox Sect died in the chaos of the Emperor of Heaven Origin city, and the Five Thunder Orthodox Sect, which lost its main pillar, was eyed by other forces. In order to retain its vitality, it was forced to disband.

One of the True Disciples encountered Song Ying while escaping and harbored evil intentions towards her. Qin Luan killed him and obtained his Five Thunder Orthodox Techniques, which perfectly complemented his Thunder Spiritual Root.

Lin Ruling was an aristocratic disciple with a solid foundation. He was just in time to recover his strength for another battle, but was trampled by a group of peak Golden Core Stage wild boars that emerged from the woods, severely injuring him and forcing him to withdraw from the scene.

Lin Ruling didn’t think about the fact that Xizhi was also a woman. Upon hearing such remarks, how could she not play a trick on him.

Moreover, Qin Luan’s speech changed Xizhi’s impression of him considerably.

Although his painting skills were not great, he was a reliable person..
