Chapter 143 - Talent Testing Rock

Zhan Chen moved forward after leaving the cave with Kai Min. He became more suspicious, the farther he went.

"What is going on?", Zhan Chen couldn't point out the head or tail of the situation.

'Forget it. We should first go to the next important location of this Cleansing Insense ancient sect', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

Zhan Chen moved according to his instinct and it didn't take him long to find out another important location of the ancient sect. 

'Outer refinement hall', was retain on the top of the ancient looking building. One could guess the purpose of the ancient building after seeing the carving of dual hammers at either side of Outer refinement hall calligraphy.

Zhan Chen entered the building along with Kai Min. There were raws of forging equipments placed in the middle of the hall. There were rooms behind the middle hall where there were still some forging materials left.

Kai Min felt amazed after seeing the means of ancient sect but Zhan Chen didn't feel any amazement. Even he guessed that it was not

the main forging hall of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect. The low quality forging equipments and the word 'outer' in the Outer refinement hall was a clue to his guess.

Zhan Chen didn't stay longer in the outer refinement hall of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect. He strode forward and found out a thin barrier which covered his entire path.

Kai Min was also looking at the barrier which stretched endlessly infront of them. The barrier was hazy and no matter how she tried to look further, she couldn't see anything except the barrier.

"Young master Chen, what is this barrier?", Kai Min looked at Zhan Chen.

"I am not sure", Zhan Chen replied with a pondering look on his face.

He checked the barrier with his soul consciousness but couldn't find any signs of danger from the long barrier.

'There is no need to think much. The function of barrier will be clear after I step through it', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Follow me", Zhan Chen spoke and held the hand of Kai Min. Then he stretched his feet towards the barrier resolutely. Kai Min was little bit anxious but she still followed the lead of Zhan Chen obediently.

Zhan Chen and Kai Min didn't feel any resistance while passing through the barrier. The barrier was like a mass of concentrated mass of air which made a way for them after they walked into it.

Kai Min didn't feel anything but a thoughtful look appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after passed through the hazy barrier.

"If my guess is not wrong, then this formation is one direction heaven passage formation from ancient times", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

There is not much clue for Zhan Chen to guess the name of the formation. But who was Zhan Chen? He was not only a prodigy of sword and alchemy but he was also a highly accomplished array master. With his sage consciousness and extensive experience, Zhan Chen could guess the purpose of the hazy barrier.

The barrier was only a part of a super large formation which covered the inner part of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect. After stepping into formation, one could only walk forward, there was no choice to go back.

To prove his guess, Zhan Chen stepped back and walked back into the formation.

"Young master Chen, why are you walking back?", Kai Min asked after seeing the strange behaviour of Zhan Chen. There was a confused look on her face.

Zhan Chen could feel a gentle force pushing him away when he tried to step back into the formation. It proved his conjecture right. The purpose of ancient One direction heaven passage formation was to prevent people from fleeing back towards the entrance of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.

It meant every cultivator had no way other than moving forward if they wanted to leave the Cleaning incense ancient sect. "Interesting", Zhan Chen mumbled. 

Then he spread his soul consciousness and walked towards the group of nearby cultivators who were standing before a talent testing rock.

"Nie Shan, forget it. No matter how much you try, you can't surpass my record", a proud looking young man smirked. His gaze was on the giant rock infront of which another young man was standing. 

The other young man had an angered look on his face as he observed the result of his talent testing. 

He took back his hand after observing his result for another few moments. His temper flared up after he saw the smug look on the proud looking young man's face.

"Zhu Hao, don't act if everyone is beneath you. If you dare then go compare yourself against the young masters of Zheng family, Qian family, Lu family and Ningshuag family", Nie Shan shouted towards the proud looking young man.

"They are they. I am I. Nie Shan, you can't hide your inferiority even if you take the names of all the prominent families. Moreover....", the proud looking young man stopped his talk after he saw some changes in everyone's reaction.

He followed the line of other cultivators gazes and looked towards the talent testing rock which was glowing with a faint blue colour at this moment.

"Blue colour! How this is possible?", the proud looking young man stuttered when he saw the colour on the surface of talent testing rock.

He looked downward and his gaze fell upon Kai Min. "What a beautiful girl!", he could only foolishly look at the beauty of Kai Min.

Kai Min's beauty had indeed grown after she gave her v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y. to Zhan Chen. The previous her was like a beautiful bud which grown into a blooming flower at this moment.

Zhan Chen didn't feel any astonishment after he saw the result of Kai Min. According to him, the result was passable as Kai Min had the Poisonous yin physique.

Kai Min withdrew her hand and looked back towards the crowd of cultivators. Everyone was looking at her with a stunned look on there faces. She looked towards the direction of Zhan Chen and felt a little disappointed after seeing the passive look on his face.

Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the gaze of Kai Min on him. "Well done. Your result is already outstanding", Zhan Chen smiled towards Kai Min. Only now did a smile finally escaped from the lips of Kai Min.

Zhan Chen shook his head helplessly. With his experience, how could not he see through her feeling. But he couldn't be blamed for his lackluster attitude as a talent level of blue colour was little ordinary for him.

The ancient talent testing stone had total six colours. Orange, red, green, yellow, blue, purple. Thus, a result of blue was outstanding but it was still a little short from meeting his expectation.
