Chapter 6093 As Easy as Pace
He didn’t take a deep breath like the previous cultivator, nor did he deliberately build up his strength. He simply extended his right hand and lightly placed his fingertips on the pillar.
explosion!
The entire stone pillar was emitting a dazzling white light!
The light shot up from below, one box, two boxes, three boxes… almost without stopping, it reached the ninth box in the blink of an eye!
Everyone held their breath.
The tenth box!
The light pierced the top of the pillar like a sharp sword, exploding into a dazzling shower of light in the air.
The whole place was silent.
Suddenly, a deafening sound of surprise was heard.
“Everything is lit! The first pillar is fully lit!”
“Oh my God, the whole pillar is on fire!”
“Is this the power of a level nine Immortal?!”
Wu Lingyun withdrew his hand, his expression calm, as if he had only done a trivial thing.
He walked to the second stone pillar and stretched out his hand again.
This time, the light also reached the ninth square, but stalled slightly at the tenth square, ultimately failing to fully penetrate the top of the pillar and stopping at nine and a half squares.
“It’s a shame almost everything is already lit.”
“Nine and a half boxes is already incredible! You’ve never seen people like that before; they’re considered lucky if they can get even six boxes!”
Wu Lingyun stared at the nine and a half sticks of light, his brows slightly furrowed, but he quickly returned to normal.
He said calmly, “I’ve been in seclusion for quite some time, and my immortal energy is flowing a bit slowly. Please excuse my less-than-stellar performance.”
The crowd below did not dare to laugh and repeatedly praised him: “Young Master Wu is too humble! A mere ninth-grade talent is already an extremely rare occurrence!”
“Yes, yes, the second pillar tests the limits of immortal strength. Reaching nine and a half bars means Young Master Wu’s dantian capacity has reached the level of perfection!”
Wu Lingyun still didn’t give a definite answer and walked towards the third stone pillar.
This pillar tests physical strength.
Wu Lingyun was tall and slender, unlike the burly cultivators who focused on physical cultivation, which made everyone a little wary of him.
Wu Lingyun rolled up his sleeves, revealing part of his muscular forearms. He clenched his fists and casually punched the pillar.
Bang!
The dull thud sounded like the beating of a drum.
The stone pillar trembled and light shone. One, two, three… As it climbed to the seventh square, its momentum slowed and finally stopped at the seventh and a half squares.
A collective sigh of regret was heard from the audience.
“Seven and a half boxes, still half a box short of two-thirds of eight boxes…”
“What a pity, what a pity, after all, Young Master Wu is not an expert in physical cultivation.”
“Seven and a half grids is not bad, it is a million times better than the previous three or four grids.”
Wu Lingyun retracted his fist, his expression showing neither joy nor anger.
He looked down at his palms and said softly, “It’s been too long since I’ve practiced body strengthening; my skills are rusty.”
These words, spoken casually, caused many of the audience to blush, their faces pale and embarrassed, a stark contrast to Wu Lingyun’s awkwardness.
Finally, the fourth stone pillar.
Strength of blood vessels.
This is the most mysterious.
Ordinary cultivators do not have any bloodlines worth mentioning, and less than one in ten people are able to light this pillar.
Wu Lingyun stopped and closed her eyes.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and placed his right hand on the pillar.
A pale golden light appeared at the base of the stone pillar.
Golden light, like flowing honey, spread slowly and steadily upwards.
One bar, two bars, three bars… When it reached the fifth bar, the gold color suddenly became more intense, turning into a dazzling crimson gold.
“What kind of lineage is this?!”
“Red gold! At least high-grade Xuan rank!”
“I heard that a true immortal was among the ancestors of the Wu family. Could it be that the bloodline of that ancestor has awakened?”
The light continued to rise, to the sixth, seventh, eighth floor…
The light stops between the eighth and ninth squares.
Wu Lingyun frowned, as if trying his best to encourage her to keep going.
The golden light flashed several times, trying to break through the threshold of the ninth box, but ultimately failed and remained at the eighth and a half box position.
He stopped and remained silent for a long time.
“Eight and a half boxes.”
The green-clothed servant announced the results with a hint of respect in his voice, “The scores for the four pillars are: ten for the first pillar, nine and a half for the second pillar, seven and a half for the third pillar, and eight and a half for the fourth pillar. All of them exceeded two-thirds, so Young Master Wu passed the exam.”
The audience cheered happily.
“It’s been approved! It’s really been approved!”
“I knew Young Master Wu could do it!”
“Well, Miss Chen should get off the stretcher, right?”
All eyes were on the glass-topped palanquin containing the eight treasures.
The sedan curtain remained completely motionless.
Wu Lingyun stood with her hands behind her back, a thin smile on her lips. She didn’t look urgent or anxious, as if everything was under control.
After a long pause, a clear and cool female voice sounded from within the palanquin: “Young Master Wu is indeed a man of extraordinary talent. However…”
He was silent for a moment.
“However, the marriage proposal is not over yet.”
Wu Lingyun slightly raised his eyebrows.
The green-clothed servant quickly explained, “Young Master Wu, please don’t be offended. My lady held this Four Pillars test only to select those who are worthy of consideration.”
Those who pass the test can ask the young woman to step off the palanquin, but this is not the end of the marriage proposal process.
The woman will communicate directly with the person crossing the border, and if both parties are interested, then…
“The next step.”
Wu Lingyun continued the conversation, his smile growing wider, “I understand. Then, Miss Chen, would you mind getting off your sedan chair for a quick chat?”
The sedan curtain finally lifted slightly.
A gentle hand reached out, its slender fingers like jade, and gently rested on the maid’s arm.
Everyone held their breath.
A slender figure slowly stepped out of the stretcher.
She wore a light blue fairy dress with fringe tied at the waist and a flowing hem.
Her face was covered by a thin veil of the same color, obscuring her facial features, except for a pair of eyes that were as clear as autumn water.
The look in his eyes alone was enough to captivate anyone.
Chen Wanqing nodded slightly: “Young Master Wu has come from afar. On behalf of the Chen family, Wanqing expresses her gratitude.”
Wu Lingyun cupped his hands in greeting: “Miss Chen, you are too kind. I have long admired your extraordinary alchemy skills, and it is a great honor for me to meet you today.”
The two faced each other from a distance, one dressed in white, as pure as snow, the other in emerald green, like a fairy couple in a painting.
The audience was captivated, and the whispers died down.
Ming Li leaned closer to David and lowered his voice, “Master Chen, this Young Master Wu seems quite formidable. He’s already passed two-thirds of the Four Pillars of Destiny. Should we still go on stage?”
David didn’t answer, but just watched the man in white standing with his hands behind his back on the stage.
Liu Qianqian said softly, “Wu Lingyun is the eldest son of the Wu family in Yunxian City. He is 120 years old and has reached the mid-ninth stage of the Upper Immortal Realm. The Wu family and the Chen family are known as the two great families in Yunxian City. The Wu family is a rising star, having only emerged in the last 500 years. This young master Wu has been hailed as a genius since childhood. It is said that he entered the Qi Cultivation stage at the age of three, established his foundation at the age of ten, and entered the Upper Immortal Realm at the age of fifty. Among his peers, he has never met a worthy opponent.”
He paused for a moment, then whispered, “My benefactor, this person… is not someone to be trifled with.”
Mingli looked at David nervously.
David averted his gaze, his expression remaining calm.
“Let’s see again.”
On stage, Wu Lingyun seemed to sense something, his gaze inadvertently swept across the crowd, and momentarily fell on David.
He smiled, looked away, and continued talking to Chen Wanqing.
