The test was held in the Situ Family’s great hall, with not only the fourteen families who had voting rights in the Heavenly Might Hall all present but also a large number of personnel from the Pharmacists Association to assist.
Those fourteen families were actually only in charge of supervision; the real hosts of the age test were the Pharmacists Association because the event involved Juexian City, and no one dared to take it lightly. Otherwise, if Juexian City were angered, a single finger could wipe out everyone in Wild Horse City!
The great hall was bustling, with a long queue formed, but given Zhou Heng’s special status, he still enjoyed certain privileges. There was no need for him to queue; no sooner had he arrived than someone from the Pharmacists Association came over to conduct the age test on them.
And it was none other than Tu Gang, the Great Elder!
Originally, he didn’t need to come personally, but how could he miss this great opportunity to brownnose? Not only had he come in person, but he had also used the privileges of the Great Elder to leave Yuan Feng and Li Xiufen at the Pharmacists Association.
— The old man’s intelligence hadn’t dumbened at all due to Alchemy.
The age testing required the collection of blood; Yang Lanxin, Lin Caijun, and Liu Hanye all completed it smoothly. Not one of them was over eight thousand years old, and since they were all Moonlight Sovereigns, they naturally passed without any suspense.
Next up was Black Donkey.
Seeing a donkey stand erect and stride over to him, then nonchalantly sit down right in front of him, even Tu Gang couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth and show a look of surprise.
The people in the hall originally thought that Black Donkey was Zhou Heng’s Beast Pet, and though they didn’t say it aloud, seeing Black Donkey dressed in a floral skirt, they still sneered inwardly at Zhou Heng’s questionable taste.
But a donkey also undergoing an age test; could it be that this donkey was going to partake in the Starwind Trial?
That was just too bizarre, wasn’t it?
"Your Excellency, this donkey is also participating in the Starwind Trial?" Tu Gang looked over to Zhou Heng, feeling somewhat surreal.
"Why not?" Zhou Heng retorted.
"Juexian City indeed has no rule against allowing Beast Pets to participate in the trial, but isn’t it such a waste to squander this opportunity?" Tu Gang said, genuinely considering Zhou Heng’s interest.
After all, a Beast Pet can never compare to a human!
"Old man, do you look down on a donkey because you think it’s just an animal? How could I possibly be this foolish boy’s Beast Pet? I am an Auspicious Omens of Heaven and Earth; merely agreeing to partake in your Starwind Trial is an honor for you, and you should feel immensely privileged!" Black Donkey snapped, immediately venting its anger.
"I command with wisdom and valor, uniting the world, my deeds passed down through ages, revered by all throughout eternity!"
"I am handsome and charming, loved by all who see me, flowers bloom where I walk!"
This shameless donkey exaggerated its own virtues endlessly, making everyone’s facial expressions turn exceedingly odd.
The fact that a Demon Beast could speak was shocking enough but this donkey was too shameless, not only wearing a floral skirt but also having such thick skin!
In the Immortal Realm, Demon Beasts that had fully developed their Spiritual Wisdom could communicate with humans through Divine Sense, but to speak outright... Black Donkey was truly one of a kind!
The most embarrassed was Tu Gang; his old face was sprayed with spit, yet since he saw that Black Donkey was close with Zhou Heng, he dared not retort and had to keep up a smile, feeling utterly miserable.
He began to regret this sycophantic endeavor. (To be continued. If you novel, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
