Chapter 1170 The Demon Hunter's Great Demon 15
Chapter 1170 The Demon Hunter's Great Demon 15
Upon hearing the words of this Xuan-level demon hunter, everyone cast envious glances at Baili Qing'er.
Baili Qing'er, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, showing no signs of being surprised by honor or disgrace.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Baili Qing'er.
The Xuan-level demon hunter on the stage, who was still flipping through the talismans, suddenly picked up a talisman and exclaimed "Eh!"
He flipped the talisman over and over like a pancake, examining it closely.
Then raise the talisman in your hand.
Who is Yu Lingyao?
Before Ling Yao could react, Fang Shui, who was standing next to her, excitedly pointed at her and spoke loudly, which was rare for him.
"My lord, she is Yu Lingyao."
The Xuan-level demon hunter on the stage glanced at the talisman, then scanned it again, a look of curiosity and appreciation on his face.
"Excellent, you are the only one who drew a superior-grade talisman during the assessment. Welcome to the Demon Hunter Academy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room erupted in uproar, and instantly everyone's eyes fell on Ling Yao again.
They had noticed this plain-clothed girl from the village before, but they only thought she was a pretty girl.
I never imagined that she would have the ability to draw high-grade talismans.
After all, talismans are divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior.
For examinees like them to be able to produce a low-grade drawing already makes them stand out among all the examinees.
Baili Qing'er, who was just praised for drawing a talisman comparable to a Yellow-level demon hunter from the Demon Hunter Academy, had only drawn a mid-grade talisman.
This plain-clothed girl actually painted a masterpiece.
Baili Qing'er's gaze fell on Ling Yao. She never expected that she would lose to a commoner here.
You should know that she is the most talented among all the younger generation of aristocratic families.
When she tested the spirit stone, she lit up half of it.
He is the one in the family who has lit up the most spirit-testing stones.
Even Liu Yeqing, who sent this plain-clothed girl over, had only lit up one-third of it back then.
Therefore, Baili Qing'er always believed that she deserved to be the number one among these examinees.
Unexpectedly, a dark horse has suddenly appeared.
Standing next to Baili Qing'er, Nangong Yu did not think so.
He glanced at Lingyao and then let out a soft snort.
"It took two whole days to finish a top-grade painting, but our Qing'er only spent less than half a day to finish hers, and it was only a medium-grade painting. If she had painted a few more times, it would probably have been a top-grade painting too. It's just that Qing'er is a low-key person and doesn't like to show off."
Everyone agreed with Nangong Yu's words.
Baili Qing'er was indeed the first person to submit a talisman, and it was already of medium grade. It's conceivable that if she had more time to draw, then a high grade talisman might not have been a problem.
Of all the people, only Fang Shui knew that Yao Yao had also finished drawing it very quickly.
They just didn't hand it in.
But she was timid by nature and didn't dare to speak up.
Besides, this was originally Lingyao's own business.
So although Fang Shui really wanted to tell them that Ling Yao had already drawn it, he ultimately held back.
Lingyao didn't care.
Let them say what they want.
The assessment passed in a hurry.
They were brought here by Liu Yeqing, but they were just staying at Liu Yeqing's house temporarily, and it was impossible for him to pay attention to them in every way.
So when they returned after passing the assessment, the two of them walked back by themselves.
This satisfied Fang Shui's long-held desire to take a stroll.
Moreover, she had just passed the demon hunter exam today, and was in a great mood, making her even more relaxed while shopping.
She insisted on dragging Lingyao along to treat her to wontons.
It's the kind sold on the street, six copper coins a bowl, which isn't expensive for the people of the main county.
But for Fang Shui, it was already an astronomical price.
After all, her family had only given her thirty-five coins for this trip.
Thirty-five copper coins.
She had already told Lingyao about it on the way.
However, after passing the demon hunter assessment, the academy immediately gave them all new clothes and two taels of silver.
Fang Shuibian was eating wontons with gusto.
She had never eaten wontons since she was born. She had only heard from some older people that they had eaten meat and wontons before the monsters ran rampant.
Now, take a bite, and you'll find a thin layer of skin and savory, flavorful meat.
It was absolutely delicious.
As she ate, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat and started to miss home.
No matter what, she's just a little girl who's only twelve years old.
The night I arrived at Liu Yeqing's residence, I also hid under the covers and cried secretly.
Fang Shui looked at Ling Yao, her voice trembling slightly with tears.
"Sister Yao Yao, when can we go home? I miss my parents, and I want to give them the two taels of silver I earned."
Lingyao glanced at her; she was also planning to send some food and money to the Yu couple.
However, she couldn't just take it out and say she wanted to send it, because if she suddenly took out money and food, it would be hard to explain where the money and things came from.
But things are different now. The Demon Exorcist Academy just gave them silver, and Lingyao was credited with drawing the best talisman this time.
He was also awarded an additional five taels of silver, making a total of seven taels.
Actually, the reward wasn't originally this much, but because Lingyao drew a superior-grade talisman.
Although it's just a regular high-grade amulet, it would fetch at least a dozen taels of silver if sold.
A high-quality amulet can withstand an attack from some troublesome demons.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the difference between the middle grade and the superior grade is only one grade.
However, a mid-grade amulet can only be sold for a few taels of silver on the market. After all, a mid-grade amulet can only ward off ordinary minor demons, and it is of little use against demons with a little bit of power.
As for low-grade amulets, their effect is minimal; they can only warn the wearer that there are demons nearby, and the amulet will spontaneously combust if the demon gets close.
The two of them strolled around the bustling streets of the main county with the money in their hands.
To make it easier to carry the small snakes, Lingyao abandoned the very conspicuous basket.
He specially spent a few taels of silver to get a very pretty waist bag, and then modified it himself, which was basically just cutting two holes in the bag.
This allowed him to easily expose his beady eyes.
Fu Ling had strong objections to this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, he is still in his juvenile form and does not consume enough spiritual energy. If he were to transform into human form, his demonic power would be very unstable, making him extremely easy for demon hunters to detect.
When he is in his true form, he can shield himself from the demonic aura emanating from his body.
That's why Fu Ling thinks about eating fruit, Ganoderma lucidum, and Ginseng every day.
Otherwise, if he wants to grow faster, he'll have no choice but to eat people.
The contents of Lingyao's spirit pouch were clearly no longer sufficient for him.
So Lingyao took the talismans she had hidden and went to the pawnshop where the demon hunters traded.
Demon hunters usually need to buy a lot of talismans and cinnabar, as well as some expensive magical artifacts.
