Chapter 006: The Distress of Talent (Part Two)

Chen Zhining was momentarily taken aback before recalling that three days ago, there was indeed a joyous event in the Chen family: Chen Jiu from the carriage and horse department and Bai Fenggu from the kitchen had happily tied the knot

However, this time he could not feel happy: even if he were to beat them up, it would not make these fellows submit in their hearts, unless he could truly prove that his qualifications were superior to theirs

Then she almost gave up, realizing that the formidable stubbornness of the imperial Ying bloodline was beyond her control

Alright, please wait.

The Chen family certainly encourages such matters, as it strengthens the cohesion among the household servants

He gave a large red envelope, which was three times the amount he had originally prepared, and then sympathetically glanced at Chen Jiu, allowing the newlyweds to leave.

At this moment, Chen Zhining had already become a void, silent and without a trace

Brother Zhang, filled with rage, was knocked to the ground, still dripping with sweat as he shouted angrily: "Do not underestimate the youth in poverty! When I have achieved success in my cultivation, I will surely trample you and that absurd dandy underfoot!"

His sudden appearance left those people stunned into silence. Chen Zhining cast a cold glance at them and, with a wave of his hand, went downstairs, saying: "Unaware of their own mortality"

Chen Zhining merely relies on the legacy of his ancestors; he is nothing more than a mediocre talent, lacking in lineage and possessing a stubborn character. On his own, he would not even pass the entrance examination, yet he is now being sought after by various forces as if he were a genius. This is truly infuriating!

Among these individuals, there are two exceptionally outstanding figures in both appearance and demeanor, likely referred to as "Brother Zhang" and "Brother Zheng" by them

In a daze, he fell asleep just like that. The next morning, after he got up, Chen Zhong came in with a smile and reported, "Young Master, Chen Jiu and Bai Feng Gu have come to pay their respects and ask for some lucky money."

A dozen or so fierce guards soon stormed into Huaiyang Tower, where the group upstairs was still indulging in food and drink, and naturally, they received a severe beating

Chen Zhining, however, had already pushed open the door to the private room with a grim expression and walked out, followed closely by two loyal lackeys, who glared fiercely at the people outside.

Esteemed colleagues, there are only five days left until the entrance examination. Does everyone feel confident?

Chen Zhining looked somewhat dumbfounded at the handsome Chen Jiu and the robust Bai Fenggu, who were kneeling side by side. This scene instantly evoked terrifying memories for him

Upon opening his eyes, they had completely transformed into two extremes. The left eye was pure gold, while the right eye was pitch black. However, upon closer inspection, one could still see a tiny speck of black, smaller than a needle's tip, hidden within the golden iris. Similarly, within the pitch-black iris, there was also a minuscule hint of gold.

Well said! This remark immediately drew thunderous applause, greatly inspiring this group of people

The world is so unjust

In this situation, the Heavenly Gifted Stone can emit a radiance, from which one can discern the practitioner's aptitude.

After that, he stayed indoors for several consecutive days, completing nine minor fulfillments in one go and achieving a major fulfillment time and again

Alas, the conflict between the academy faction and the sect faction is becoming increasingly intense. As long as his father is Chen Yunpeng, even if he is as foolish as a pig and utterly useless, there will still be people eager to take him in to enhance their own power

In response, a large foot forcefully stomped his face into the ground, and then it ground down a few more times.

Chen Yihuo suddenly stood up, intending to go out and teach a lesson to those indiscreet individuals, but just then, a sound of footsteps was heard, and the group outside joyfully exclaimed: "Brother Zheng has arrived, please take a seat."

Upon entering the house, he instructed Chen Yi: "Go find a piece of the Heavenly Gift Divine Stone for the young master."

How unfortunate, if only we had the same privileged background as Chen Zhining, that scoundrel. I have heard that the county academy and the three major sects have already sent the introductory portions of their most esteemed texts to Chen Zhining.

Among these several servants, more than half are cultivators, making it not too easy to manage this group of young individuals who have yet to attain enlightenment

Although the Chen family reigns supreme in Qidong County, obtaining innate divine objects is no different from a pipe dream

Outside, many people are continuously complaining, feeling that they have almost no hope of passing the assessment. However, Chen Zhining, who has similar poor qualifications, is able to be recruited by the four major powers, which naturally leads to feelings of indignation.

In these two extreme states, Chen Zhining appears to be completely different individuals, yet he also resembles a single person existing on two different levels.

Brother Zhang, let us sit here

A group of people arrived outside the private room and sat down not far away, their conversation was clearly heard by Chen Zhining and the other two.

In terms of strength alone, he has already attained the power of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, surpassing even some cultivators in the Yuanqi Realm in this regard

Soon, a pair of newlyweds entered and bowed deeply, exclaiming: "Thank you, Young Master Xie, for your generosity"

Then, with a thought, his body suddenly transformed from yang to yin, and a spot of darkness burst forth amidst the golden light, swiftly staining all the gold black.

Well then, everyone please take a seat

He strode out of Huaiyang Building in a fit of anger, while the waiter followed behind, inquiring about the situation. Chen Zhining abruptly waved his hand and left.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple; the further along the sequence, the better the aptitude for cultivation. Among colors of the same level, the brighter the radiance, the better the aptitude.

It is not acceptable; even if one's qualifications are lacking, one must strive to improve. The Chen family has ample wealth and can always use resources to elevate oneself. At the very least, one should possess the ability to protect oneself; otherwise, one cannot even be the master of their own chastity

Soon, Chen Yi found a piece of the divine stone bestowed by heaven. Chen Zhi Ning drove both of them out, locked himself in his room, and then held the divine stone in his hand, closing his eyes and concentrating all his attention on this stone.

After purple, there are the legendary silver and gold, but the last two colors have not appeared for many years. In today's mortal realm, there is much skepticism regarding those legendary figures who once caused the divine stone to emit these two kinds of brilliance, suggesting that such accounts may be exaggerated rather than true historical facts

Heavenly Gift https : / / m.hetushu .com .com Divine Stone is a type of meteorite, its name is quite impressive, yet it has little practical use, serving only to assess the qualifications of cultivators

Chen Zhining exerted great effort, yet he only caught a fleeting glimpse of a faint red light passing over the Tian Ci Divine Stone

We cannot compare to Brother Zhang; what assurance do we have? However, we have registered with the county academy and the three major sects, hoping to pass through one of them by chance

Chen Zhining nodded and casually tossed him a piece of broken silver. A private room by the window on the second floor had already become Chen Zhining's designated seat. He sat down and threw the folding fan he had been fiddling with onto the table: "Same as usual, let's go."

I see! He smiled slightly. He had anticipated that the "Bipolar Divine Demon Body" would only truly reveal its extraordinary qualities after achieving a complete perfection.

However, Chen Zhining was somewhat downcast. He had certainly engaged in many acts of bullying others by leveraging his power—he had always taken pride in such behavior rather than feeling ashamed, as having power to rely on was, in itself, a source of great joy.

Filled with joy, Chen Zhining suddenly trembled all over and exclaimed, "Does this mean that I can cultivate the texts of both the academy and the sect simultaneously?"

"It is the duality of yin and yang!" He exclaimed in a low voice, as the golden light in his left eye flowed out like golden water, enveloping his entire body. At this moment, Chen Zhining was filled with a fierce and masculine energy, radiating brilliantly like the sun.

Regardless of the type, for a young man who has yet to attain enlightenment, the body is exceedingly powerful

"Is there any way to enhance one's aptitude?" he muttered to himself. The quality of one's aptitude is fundamental to a cultivator, predetermined from birth. It is not entirely unchangeable, but to improve one's aptitude, at the very least, some innate divine objects are required to be effective

There are quite a few of these meteorites, and they are not expensive. The Chen family has several spare pieces. It is said that the first piece of such a meteorite was purchased by the Chen family back in the day, as his mother was filled with anticipation to test her son's qualifications, and then...

He dejectedly released the Heavenly Gift Stone, becoming increasingly gloomy.

Brother Zheng said: "Everyone need not pay too much attention to that absurd second-generation heir. We should focus on ourselves. Such a person is destined to become a speck of dust in history, quietly falling into the past. As for all of us present here, we have the opportunity to leave our names in history!"

The newlywed couple traditionally went to seek a gift from the elder. After Chen Yunpeng, it was Chen Zhining. Chen Zhining nodded and said, "Let them in."

Sigh... Chen Zhining let out a sigh and casually lay down on the bed, momentarily feeling a lack of motivation even for practicing the "Dual Polar Divine Demon Body"

He exhaled deeply, and a misty Tai Chi formed in front of him, embodying the interplay of yin and yang, with yin hidden within yang and yang concealed within yin, before gradually dissipating

When the ninth small round was completed, Chen Zhining felt that within his body, there seemed to be some "rules" operating at a perfect state, everything came naturally.

The shop assistant went down to make arrangements, while Chen Zhining and his two companions leaned against the window, peering at the young women and wives coming and going on the street below, commenting in a rather lewd manner
