[Original fantasy novel] "The Devil's Path" Chapter 3: Xuan Jade Slip

The early morning sunlight ripples in like water and shines on the three gilded characters "Yingyue Hall", making it even more majestic. Patriarch Chen and the seven elders walked into Yingyue Hall and went up to the high platform inside Yingyue Hall. Everyone looked at them, but no one dared to make a sound. Looking at them, except for Clan Chief Chen, everyone else has hair as white as snow. Clan Chief Chen stands among them, and his black hair is naturally very conspicuous. In fact, the original clan leader was Chen Xiaotian's father, Chen Yinlong, but he disappeared for no apparent reason, leaving only a letter. The letter specified that Chen Xiaotian should take over as the clan leader, but did not explain the reason for his disappearance. That's why this scene happened. The seven elders are all uncles of the current clan leader. "You all know the purpose of coming here, right?" Chief Chen said. Although his voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly. Chief Chen obviously put some effort into his words. "I know!" Everyone was extremely excited. Haven't they been waiting for today for more than ten years? "Okay," Patriarch Chen nodded and said, "No need to say the same old words. I just hope that you can contribute to the family in the future. Now, I will measure the sky marks for everyone in order to distribute the skills." After Patriarch Chen finished speaking, the elder next to him took out a blank piece of paper with everyone's name on it and read: "The first person to measure the sky marks, Chen Dali!" Everyone's eyes quickly focused on a big man with a sturdy back and waist. The man stood up slowly, as if enjoying this feeling, walked up to the high platform under everyone's gaze, and stood in front of Chief Chen. The middle finger and index finger of Patriarch Chen's right hand are close together, and a white light flashes on the finger. The white light swims between the two fingers like a small snake. Patriarch Chen pointed at Chen Dali's forehead, white light quickly spread over, and Chen Dali was instantly enveloped in milky white light. The light disappeared after a few breaths. Chief Chen put down his hand and said, "Chen Dali, three sky marks! I got the three-marked mysterious jade slip!" "Three sky marks, not bad," someone in the audience whispered. Patriarch Chen took out a jade slip from the Qiankun bag. The white jade slip was engraved with dense golden runes. There were three golden stripes rotating on the jade slip. This was the symbol of the three-grain mysterious jade slip. This jade slip records the Chen family's mysterious skill "Seven Stars Reflecting the Moon". This skill is quite special. It not only requires possessing the sky mark, but also requires the practitioner to be sixteen years old. The most amazing thing is that this technique must be practiced on a full moon night for the first time. Since the moon in this continent only reaches full circle one day a year, which is today, those who meet the cultivation requirements of the Chen family must come here every year. Patriarch Chen handed the mysterious jade slip in his hand to Chen Dali, who took it with both hands, bowed and returned to his seat. The great elder continued to read: "The next one is Chenyue!" I saw a beauty standing up. This woman's skin was as white as gelatin, three points whiter than snow; her face was like the bright moon, and her plum blossoms were three levels brighter. Some perverts looked at her in a way that was not only vulgar but also vulgar. Of course, there were also some who acted cool and serious without squinting their eyes. Chen Yue moved her lotus steps lightly, walked up to the high platform, and stood in front of Chief Chen. Patriarch Chen pointed at Chen Yue's forehead with two fingers as before, after a burst of light. Chief Chen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Chen Yue, five marks in the sky! Obtained the five-marked mysterious jade slip!" What! Five sky marks! Even the elders were shocked, let alone everyone in the audience. The sky marks determine how quickly the meridians are opened at the beginning. The more sky marks there are, the easier it is to open the meridians, the more profound energy can be accommodated, and the faster the training speed. Of course, sky marks can also be obtained through later cultivation, but such sky marks are of little use to people who have meridians. Unless you have a skill that can be converted, like Shenyue of the Shen family, he will start practicing the skill immediately after cultivating the sky marks at the age of twelve. By the age of sixteen, he will not know how many sky marks he has cultivated. He can convert his own skills in the mysterious realm to bring out the maximum power of the sky marks. But few members of the royal family possess the techniques that can be transformed. After all, they are too rare. Chen Yue possesses five sky marks, so it is natural for them to be surprised.
