C1108 He Could Only Give It His All
However, although a Star Core was precious, it was nothing in Zuo Bo's eyes.
He still did not have a good impression of Ye Bufan, but he always showed that he was fair, but he could not find any reason to reject Ye Bufan.
Therefore, he could only say, "Alright, I'll give you a Star Core. If you can really sense it within the time for an incense stick to burn, even if you pass, if you can't, don't blame me for being ruthless under my sword!"
After saying the last few words, Zuo Bo's Qi burst out like a mountain pressing down on Ye Bufan. Obviously, he wanted to intimidate Ye Bufan. Of course, he also wanted to warn the other cultivators. If there was anyone who had the same intention as Ye Bufan, they would have to make the same promise.
Zuo Bo could clearly see that Ye Bufan was struggling under his imposing manner. His face was red, and his forehead was covered with sweat. However, he just stood there stubbornly without bending his waist.
For some reason, Zuo Bo suddenly felt that this Ye Bufan might really be someone important. Maybe he really succeeded?
Shaking his head, Zuo Bo chased this idea away. He felt that it was strange. He was clearly annoyed by Ye Bufan, so why would he have such an idea?
In order to not think too much, Zuo Bo took out a Star Core and handed it to Ye Bufan.
"The Heart Sword Sect mainly uses Sword Cultivator. The most we have are the Star Core with sword light and sword energy. Here is a sword light Star Core. You can take it and try it out."
"Yes!"
Ye Bufan was pleasantly surprised, but his face remained calm. He respectfully took the Star Core and carefully looked at the sword light in the Star Core.
This was the first time he had seen the appearance of the Star Core. Of course, he wanted to take a good look at it, but he did not know that this performance would deepen his persuasion as an Aperture Opening Cultivator.
Ye Bufan was also a little nervous before this. The thing he was most afraid of was that the Star Core that Zuo Bo took out had nothing to do with light. If that happened, he would be blinded.
He might as well use the sword light within the Star Core to increase his confidence.
To be honest, although Ye Bufan had experience sensing things, at that time, his senses were Heaven's Perception, which was different from how he could sense with the help of the Star Core. He could only try his best to simulate it, but he wasn't sure if he could hide it from Zuo Bo.
Although most of the cultivators wouldn't have any abnormal signs when they broke through to the Sense Stage, however, once they succeeded, the things inside the Star Core would disappear automatically, and the Star Core would shatter into pieces. This point could clearly tell whether the reaction was successful or not.
Ye Bufan could only hope that his light immunity ability would allow him to draw out the sword light within the Star Core, and thus create the false impression that the reaction was successful.
In order to be more confident, he carefully examined the Star Core, hoping that he would be able to gain something from it.
However, he did not gain much, and Ye Bufan suddenly realized that he had overlooked something.
That was, if he succeeded in impersonating the Divine Stone, Zuo Bo would let him use the Illuminating Divine Stone to project it again, and he would still not be able to pass the test!
"I don't care anymore. Let's take it one step at a time!"
Ye Bufan's heart turned cold. He could only pray that Zuo Bo would not do anything unnecessary.
His divine soul left his body and instantly wrapped around the Star Core. Ye Bufan pretended to break through to the Sense Stage.
Zuo Bo furrowed his brows again. He felt that Ye Bufan's divine soul was a little strange. It seemed to be much stronger than the divine soul of an ordinary cultivator. However, when he thought of what Ye Bufan had said, he understood.
Ye Bufan had once said that it was because he didn't have the money to buy the Star Core. Therefore, he stayed in the Aperture Opening Realm for a long time, which made his divine soul more stable. Even under the scorching sun, there wouldn't be any losses.
Thinking of this, Zuo Bo was no longer surprised that Ye Bufan's divine soul was stronger than ordinary people.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Bufan wrapped the sword light Star Core with his divine soul and pretended to sense it.
The time Ye Bufan suggested was to sense it within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. He had to make the best use of his time. Whether it was using the Star Core to sense or using the light immunity ability to fake the sensing, this was the first time he had done it. He absolutely could not be the slightest bit careless.
Otherwise, it was very likely that he would be recognized by others. If that happened, Ye Bufan's outcome would be very miserable. Perhaps Zuo Bo could kill him on the spot.
Therefore, although Ye Bufan sounded very confident, in fact, he felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
However, in order to enter the Heart Sword Sect, he could only fight with all his might.
When Ye Bufan's divine soul wrapped around the Star Core, he immediately felt that something was different.
The feeling that the Star Core gave him was completely different from when he was holding it in his hand. Previously, when he held the Star Core in his hand... Now, this Star Core felt like a life to him. And the successful reaction was to fuse the life of this Star Core with his divine soul.
"So it turns out that using the Star Core to sense it is actually such a feeling." Ye Bufan seemed to have understood something.
Because it was his divine soul that came into direct contact with the Star Core, Ye Bufan controlled his divine soul to drill into the Star Core. The process of entering was very easy, just like inserting one's hand into water. It felt cool and comfortable.
Then, he touched the sword light at the center of the Star Core. Before he could do anything, the sword light had melted into his divine soul with a swoosh.
"Uh. What was going on? Second reaction?"
As soon as Ye Bufan's question popped up, a large amount of knowledge appeared in his mind. It was about the attributes, composition, type, effects and so on of the sword light, just like the first time he sensed the light.
"F * ck, it really worked!"
The cultivators gathered outside the mountain gate were all stunned.
"It's only been ten minutes, it's still too early for one incense stick to burn"
"Genius, genius, when I first sensed it, it was so hard! Comparisons are really infuriating!"
"That's right, now it's done. Not only did I get a Star Core for free, I even passed the first round at the same time."
Zuo Bo slightly narrowed his eyes. He was slightly surprised that Ye Bufan's reaction speed was also beyond his expectations. Immediately, he became happy. Why did the Recruiting Conference change its disciples this time? Wasn't it to find a good seedling? This Ye Bufan was able to advance to the Sense Stage so quickly. His previous performance could be said to be courageous and smart. Wasn't he the talent that the sect needed?
After figuring this out, the way Zuo Bo looked at Ye Bufan changed. He no longer regarded Ye Bufan as an opportunist with ulterior motives, but as a disciple of the Future Heart Sword Sect.
The Star Core shattered into pieces with a swoosh, and Ye Bufan's divine soul returned to his body.
Ye Bufan, who had opened his eyes, found it hard to believe that he had sensed something twice.
He had clearly sensed it earlier, so how could he continue to sense it? Could it be that he could advance to the Sense Stage twice?
He was stunned, because he had never thought of this. He had forgotten that Zuo Bo and the other cultivators were still looking at him.
If it was before the sensing was successful, Ye Bufan would just stand there motionlessly. He would only be considered rude, and his reaction just now was so quick that it was considered rude. Now, his blank look had been taken as a sign of his first advancement.
Zuo Bo suddenly let out a long laugh, and Ye Bufan came back to his senses.
He heard Zuo Bo say, "Not bad, not bad. To be able to sense it within the time it takes to make a cup of tea, it shows that you have indeed accumulated a lot of experience."
"Thank you for your praise, senior." Ye Bufan immediately responded politely.
Zuo Bo nodded his head. The more he looked at Ye Bufan, the more friendly he felt towards him. If he could recruit Ye Bufan directly, he would not hesitate to do so.
However, since the rules had changed this year, he naturally had to follow the rules.
In any case, he believed that with Ye Bufan's genius performance just now... The next three stages should not be a problem, even if it was the most challenging stage. Not only did he not feel worried, he even felt that there might be a bigger surprise.
Ye Bufan still did not know that Zuo Bo had placed high hopes on him. He looked at Zuo Bo's changed expression and was puzzled.
"This Han Jiang Swordsman can't be gay, right? Why is he looking at me like that?"
Ye Bufan was complaining in his heart when he saw Zuo Bo wave his hand and point at the egg-shaped Divine Stone. "You still have to abide by the rules. Go and test it out."
"Yes." Ye Bufan was not afraid this time. After the second sensing, the image in his sea of consciousness had completely changed. It was no longer the same pure light image as before. Instead, the image of a sword of light had faintly appeared. It didn't matter even if the image was shown.
Ye Bufan reached out and touched the Illuminating Divine Stone. Indeed, he saw the fluorescent light on the Illuminating Divine Stone rise and transform into a long sword that flickered with light. The outline was very clear.2
"To be able to project such a clear image after sensing it just now, your talent is not bad. I have to work hard in the future." If Zuo Bo's expression had only changed from cold to calm just now, he could actually see a trace of a smile on Zuo Bo's face now.
Ye Bufan didn't notice anything wrong. The other cultivators were all stunned.
"Is this still the cold and callous swordsman Han Jiang? I actually saw him smile!"
"I saw him too. You pinched me. Are you dreaming? Awoo, it hurts!"
After hearing the discussion among the cultivators, Zuo Bo seemed to feel that it was a bit too much. That smile disappeared in a flash, and he returned to his original cold appearance.
Ye Bufan didn't think that there would be such a thing, and felt that it was quite interesting. However, he still had important matters to attend to, so he didn't pay any attention to the changes in this area.
In any case, it wasn't certain whether Zuo Bo's performance would be beneficial to him. After all, Han Jiang Swordsman was only the person in charge of the first stage. As for whether he could pass the second and third stage, it would depend on himself.
Even if Zuo Bo valued him, if his performance in the next two stages was bad, there would be a change in his opinion.
Ye Bufan couldn't wait to enter the next stage.
Under Zuo Bo's signal, Ye Bufan also walked into the mountain gate and disappeared in front of the other cultivators.
"Is this the mountain gate of Heart Sword Sect?"
Ye Bufan looked at his surroundings and sighed with emotion in his heart.
The scenery he saw when he walked into the mountain gate was completely different from what he saw outside the mountain gate.
Before he entered, there was only an ordinary mountain path behind the mountain gate. There were some wild flowers and wild grass growing on both sides of the mountain path. Although it was full of vitality, it was no different from an ordinary mountain path.
After he really passed through the mountain gate, he finally understood that the Qing Yun Shan he saw outside the mountain gate was nothing like the Qing Yun Shan of Heart Sword Sect.
