The fact that the two secret techniques complemented each other was an unexpected delight. Discovering that his body, now with its 360 blood acupoints open, was no longer as weak as before, Meng De felt a wave of relief from the depletion of resources.
However, Mengde cannot use the Bloodwing Escape Technique frequently now because his source blood reserves are severely insufficient, making it impossible for him to efficiently replenish his depleted blood spiritual power.
"It seems the trial of Qingfeng Palace is about to begin." After taking a small amount of Dragon Blood Spirit Rice and resting briefly, Meng De got up, tidied up his somewhat disheveled appearance, put on the Qingling Peak's specially made blue-patterned gray robe again, and rode the round and flat Qingfeng Flying Boat. With the backing of a predetermined contestant, Meng De flew towards Qingfeng Palace at a leisurely pace.
Meng De had previously disliked the slow-moving Green Bee Flying Boat, but after accidentally learning that almost every cultivator on Green Spirit Peak had a "Fat Bee Flying Boat" made by the weapon refiner Qing Li, Meng De gave up his plan to change his flying boat.
At least in the area near Spirit Beast Mountain, the chubby Green Bee Flying Boat is a very recognizable signboard, making it convenient for Mengde to come and go.
"I wonder who Master Qingli will choose." Meng De, piloting the Fat-Headed Bee Flying Boat, had just approached the airspace near Qingfeng Palace when he discovered that hundreds of cultivators had already gathered there. Many of them had come by beast, looking quite carefree, while Meng De's leisurely Fat-Headed Bee Flying Boat was surprisingly eye-catching.
However, this did not lead to any so-called provocation or slap in the face. Most people knew the origin of the Azure Bee Flying Boat, so they knew that Meng De was from Azure Spirit Peak and would certainly not offend him rashly.
Of course, not all of these hundreds of cultivators came to participate in the Qingfeng Palace disciple trials. Most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators sent by the elders of various peaks to observe. There were also some Qi Refining Peak cultivators who came to join in the fun and try their luck. What if they were so handsome and beautiful that they suddenly caught the eye of a newly promoted Core Formation elder who was short of people?
Not long after Mengde's arrival, the Qingfeng Hall's disciple trials officially began.
Meng De hid in the crowd and glanced around. He found that nearly twenty cultivators had signed up, most of whom were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and a very few at the peak of Qi Refining who wanted to try their luck.
In fact, the elders of each peak of Spirit Beast Mountain were quite accommodating, and specially reserved some newly promoted Foundation Establishment disciples for Qing Li to choose from first.
"First round of testing requirements: First, those with Foundation Establishment cultivation can stay. Second, those with special bloodlines or physiques can stay."
A clear, cold voice came from mid-air, and Meng De immediately knew it was Qing Li's voice.
The so-called disciple trial was simpler than Mengde had expected. One had to either have high cultivation or special talent. Only by passing this threshold could one have the opportunity to meet Elder Qingli at Qingfeng Hall and be chosen by him in the end.
Ultimately, only twelve cultivators from Spirit Beast Mountain met the requirements to ascend to the Azure Peak Hall, including nine Foundation Establishment cultivators and three Qi Refining cultivators with special talents.
"Huh...why is that guy in there too..." Meng De, who originally just wanted to watch the excitement, suddenly spotted a familiar figure among the group of climbers.
Curious, Meng De took out the Nine Nether Token and followed the Foundation Establishment cultivators from various peaks who were there to witness the ceremony to the Azure Peak Hall.
Just as Meng De entered the Qingfeng Hall, which was adorned with reliefs of rare and exotic beasts, he heard Qing Li's voice ring out again: "The second round of testing requires knowledge of spirit beasts and insects."
The selection criteria for disciples of Qingfeng Hall are both simple and have a very high threshold. Above the main hall, Qing Li, dressed in a white robe with gold thread and wearing a bamboo hat and light veil, coldly looked down at the crowd with her wine-red eyes.
On either side of the bronze-cast Qingfeng Hall stood a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators representing the elders of various peaks of Ling Shou Mountain. In the center of the hall, twelve Ling Shou Mountain cultivators with different expressions were surprised by Qing Li's selection criteria, yet felt that it was reasonable.
"Mengde, you go and ask them." Qingli, who was in the main hall, spotted Mengde among the onlookers and directly asked him to give the twelve trial cultivators some tricky questions.
"Ah..." Meng De, who had only been notified by Qing Li to come and watch the excitement, hesitated slightly when he heard Qing Li call his name under the gaze of so many Foundation Establishment cultivators. But in the end, he still mustered up the courage to walk out of the crowd amidst the curious stares of the Foundation Establishment cultivators and appear in front of the twelve trial cultivators.
"Ahem..." Standing before the twelve trial cultivators and under the scrutinizing gazes of the Foundation Establishment disciples, Meng De coughed lightly, ignoring Bai Yunsheng, who was winking at him from the front of the trial cultivators' line, and then began to pose some difficult questions to everyone: "If the Fiery Earth Bear of Fiery Bear Peak experiences impotence during its breeding season, how can it be remedied?"
Qingli:
'
""
Bai Yunsheng and others:
66
""
Other Foundation Establishment cultivators: "6"
""
"Goodness...who is this guy, asking this kind of question right off the bat?"
"Hmm... if you can't get an erection... would aphrodisiacs be effective?"
"Maybe not... What if things get out of control? I don't want to fight a bear shirtless!"
"Um...I seem to remember...the Breath of Earth Flower...with some...um...special techniques..."
Meng De's outrageous question immediately drew everyone's attention, and everyone couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
The twelve candidates also gave their answers. Some fed him aphrodisiac pills, some fed him special spiritual herbs, and some even more impressively answered that they were masturbating... Of course, the most impressive one was the one who played the role of a female bear to seduce him... Meng De looked up at Bai Yunsheng and thought, "Good lad, you know how to play, huh?"
Meng De did not provide a pre-defined answer. Instead, after memorizing everyone's responses, he posed the second bombshell question: "A certain spirit beast on Dark Silver Peak has had its reproductive organs injured. Does it still possess the ability to reproduce, and why?"
'
""
"A certain magical insect exhibits two different genetic traits: one is trait A, and the other is trait B and C. Trait A is dominant... How can it be bred to produce...?"
"ah???
"The Source Blood Demon Insect Nine Nether Poison Mosquito has a slight degenerative characteristic, but if the environment is modified, its genetic inheritance becomes unstable... How can we remove the genetic information by controlling variables...?"
"..." The people inside Qingfeng Hall suddenly felt that it would be easier to answer some of Mengde's more "indecent" questions. Even though Mengde had explained the meanings of the terms beforehand, they suddenly felt a bit confused when those terms were put together.
Raising spirit insects shouldn't be like this: you feed them coolly, they eat coolly, and they grow up to be cool and beautiful, right? What will they look like in the future? The books say so... Why is there also the possibility of... altering their genetic traits?
