Chapter 1167 The Demon Hunter's Great Demon 9
The children, holding the spirit-testing stones, held their breath upon hearing the disciple's words, and a blush gradually rose on their not-so-fair faces.
The hand holding the spirit-testing stone was also gripped very tightly.
After a while, due to shortness of breath and lack of oxygen, my body was trembling slightly.
Liu Yeqing gave a wink to the disciple standing next to her.
The disciple immediately stepped forward skillfully, walked to the boys who had been holding their breath for too long, and raised his hand to press their pressure points twice.
This stopped them from holding their breath any longer.
He then pried open their fingers, which were tightly gripping the stone, and took the spirit-testing stone from their hands.
Everyone's attention was focused on the stone.
Unfortunately, the way it was when it was first handed out is exactly the same way it is when it's taken out.
I won several in a row, and they were all the same.
Only the spirit-testing stone in the hand of one girl emitted a faint light.
The disciple brought the faintly glowing stone to Liu Yeqing.
Upon seeing the faint light emanating from the stone, the village chief's son's face lit up with joy.
Although the radiant stone didn't come from his son, it still belonged to their Qifang Village, and their village benefited from it.
But Liu Yeqing took the stone without saying a word, glanced at it, and then put it on the table next to her.
Then his gaze silently turned to the girl beside him.
After the disciples checked all the children who had been holding their breath to the limit, only the little girl was left standing there, with no reaction in her expression.
The time when the concentration of spiritual energy is at its highest, and when it best reflects the spiritual energy within the body, is when you hold your breath to the limit.
Therefore, disciples will also check when they are at their limit.
But looking at the little girl, does she not need to breathe?
Lingyao thought to herself, she was still breathing.
After holding her breath for a while, she felt a burning sensation in her palm and immediately broke free and started breathing.
But seeing that they hadn't noticed, she didn't say anything.
Seeing that she was the only one left in the room, Liu Yeqing cast a gaze at her.
Lingyao returned the gaze defiantly.
Under the girl's gaze, Liu Yeqing inexplicably felt somewhat vulnerable.
He broke the silence in the room by speaking first: "Don't you feel stifled?"
Lingyao shook her head: "I don't feel it, because I've been breathing the whole time."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's son, who was standing nearby, showed a look of anxiety and disappointment on his face.
They went through so much trouble to get to Liuhua Village, just for these few minutes.
This girl from the Yu family was originally their most favored one.
Now they're not even listening to the demon hunter's advice to hold their breath.
Although he had some awe for the demon hunter in front of him, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Sir, could you please give her another chance? She's just a child and doesn't understand..."
Liu Yeqing has not yet responded.
Lingyao spoke up.
I really can't stand it anymore.
With a tense expression, she asked, "When can I let go of your hand? It's a little hot."
It's actually very hot.
It was so hot that she felt as if her palms were being roasted on a flame.
The disciple standing nearby was taken aback when he heard Ling Yao's words.
In all his years as a demon hunter, he had never seen anyone hold a spirit-testing stone and say it was hot.
Although the Spirit-Testing Stone looks like a stone, its material is actually very similar to jade.
It feels cool and comfortable to the touch.
How could it be hot?
He didn't have time to think about it and stepped forward at Liu Yeqing's prompting.
Tell Lingyao to open her arms.
Lingyao opened her hand and tossed the spirit-testing stone into her disciple's hand as if it were a hot potato.
The sudden movement startled the disciples, and when they saw the spirit-testing stone in their hands, they were speechless with shock.
The spirit-testing stone in his hand had completely lost its original color and was now filled with abundant light.
Make the color of the stone as bright and transparent as light.
The disciple hurriedly placed the spirit-testing stone in front of Liu Yeqing.
"Sir, this..."
Liu Yeqing took the stone, somewhat surprised. Although he could see the girl's difference with his own eyes, he did not expect that the spiritual energy in her body was so pure and abundant.
This was even when she wasn't holding her breath at all.
After all, the brightness of the spirit-testing stone he used to hold his breath was only one-third of the brightness of the spirit-testing stone in front of him.
Moreover, it only had one-third of its brightness at first, because it could only light up one-third of its brightness.
The girl in front of him was the one he had ever seen make the spirit-testing stone shine the brightest since he started working as a demon hunter.
These days, monsters roam freely, and demon hunters are in short supply.
If you discover a potential monster to catch, there will be corresponding rewards, distributed according to the monster's potential.
Liu Yeqing thought to herself, "It seems that the two days of looking at each other were not entirely in vain."
He put the stone into his pocket and then took out a wooden token engraved with the words "Jade Token".
He handed it to Lingyao.
"Keep the token safe. Three days from now, come with me back to the main county to participate in the new round of demon hunter entrance examination."
Verifying one's spiritual energy is only the first step to becoming a demon hunter.
Only those who pass the spiritual energy verification, take the jade token, participate in and pass the entry examination for demon hunters can become true demon hunters, and demon hunter tokens will be issued uniformly at that time.
Seeing that Lord Liu actually smiled and gave Lingyao the token.
The village chief's son was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
The girl whose spirit stone had also emitted a faint glow stood to the side, looking at Liu Yeqing expectantly, but dared not speak, not even to ask a question.
In the end, it was the village chief's son who, for the sake of the village's honor and his child's future, asked Liu Yeqing a question.
"Lord Liu, what about Xiao Shui?"
Xiao Shui is the little girl whose stone emitted a faint light; her name is Fang Shui.
Liu Yeqing glanced at the girl; normally, he wouldn't pass the test with such a faint light.
Although she possessed spiritual energy, it was too weak, and under normal circumstances, she would not be able to pass the demon hunter assessment.
However, he glanced at Ling Yao.
Oh well, bringing one back is the same as bringing two back.
She simply gestured to the disciple standing next to her to take out a jade token for her.
"You two go back and prepare. In three days, you will come with me to the main county."
When the village chief's son led Lingyao and Fangshui out, he felt refreshed and even his back was straighter than when he went in.
As soon as he stepped out the door, the villagers who were waiting outside saw his beaming face and came up to ask him what was wrong.
"How's the situation in your village? Has anyone caught Lord Liu's eye?"
The village chief's son pretended to look troubled.
Shaking his head: "Oh dear..."
Just when everyone thought that no one from Qifang Village had been selected, and was about to say a few words of comfort or joking,
The village chief's son continued.
"Oh dear, what a pity. Only two girls from our village were chosen, and they're both so young. They said they'd be going to the main county with their parents in three days. I have to hurry and send them back to their families. It'll be such a long time before we part, I really hate to see them go..."
