Chapter 20 happened to be the tenth place (asking for monthly reading recommendation votes)
Zhou Ling practiced drawing inscriptions every night. Although sometimes he was a little confused, but with the [Basic Analysis] talent, he was still very good. You'll figure it out soon.
The progress of inscriptions is very fast, and the talent of [I am born with talent] is also constantly improving the proficiency.
In less than ten days, Zhou Ling had mastered the drawing of several basic inscriptions such as fire, earth, and wood.
In terms of inscription cultivation, it is considered an introduction.
In ten days, this progress is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary casual cultivators.
And the key point is that Zhou Ling did not have any famous teachers to guide him.
Everything is done by myself, with the help of talents.
According to the practice guide issued by the Taoist Academy, skills such as runes, inscriptions, and formation patterns can be mastered within a month.
Already considered a person with outstanding talent.
And I have only been here for ten days. Isn’t that an amazing talent?
Of course, Zhou Ling is well aware of his own qualifications and is not at all proud.
If it weren’t for the blessing of talent, I might not be able to reach this level in three months.
Then I started trying to draw two inscriptions.
Fortunately, with the improvement of inscription proficiency, the spiritual energy consumption in the drawing process has been reduced.
Every day, he can still draw two or three inscriptions.
Just like this, more than two months have passed.
Zhou Ling has been able to draw three inscriptions, but due to his low cultivation level, the success rate is not very stable.
However, due to the blessing of [Innate Talent], you only need to brush up your proficiency.
When his proficiency reaches a certain level, his consumption of spiritual power will become less and less.
······．
In a blink of an eye, the Taoist Academy assessment day has arrived.
Being a disciple of a key Taoist class has many benefits.
First of all, the school building is covered with first-order high-grade spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy will be more intense, which is conducive to practice.
And the tuition is actually cheaper. It used to be five low-grade spiritual stones per month.
To enter the key Taoist class, you only need three low-grade spiritual stones.
The second is that there will be special teaching to assist in practicing skills.
The teaching staff is not at the same level as today’s ordinary classes.
Just like now, although Liu Yan is at the ninth level of Qi training, his major is formation.
So there is limited guidance for Zhou Ling in learning to refine weapons.
If it weren't for his talent, Zhou Ling wouldn't have been able to successfully draw three inscriptions in just three months.
Of course, for Zhou Ling, the key is to get more bonuses and reduce the burden on his parents!
Today is a grand day for Zhou Ling’s family.
Li Ru took a day off and got up early to prepare a hearty breakfast for his son.
Zhou Shan also rushed back after a long journey last night.
He also prepared a first-order low-grade purple spirit grass for Zhou Ling.
After eating a large bowl of rice, a bowl of fire pattern chicken soup and two large chicken drumsticks, Zhou Ling was already full.
However, Li Ru still stuffed both chicken wings into his bowl.
Zhou Ling could only eat them all.
After breakfast, the two of them personally sent Zhou Ling to the Taoist Temple and told him not to be too nervous.
When it comes to things like assessment, just do your best!
Zhou Ling knew his parents' concern in his heart and nodded obediently.
He had nothing to be nervous about.
In the Taoist Academy examinations over the years, he has basically been able to get the top three in the school.
Although there is not much advantage in spiritual power cultivation nowadays, it is not much different.
For example, Zheng Youwei now has sixteen spiritual points open, five more than him.
Although the gap exists, it is not irreparable.
You can definitely take advantage of your skills.
Of course, there are some who are particularly outstanding, like Xin'er, who is now at the third level of Qi training.
However, these are only a minority after all. There will be no more than five disciples in this generation.
Most of them are still on the first or second level of Qi training.
Most of them are even on the first floor. Zhou Ling said goodbye to his parents and entered the Taoist temple.
"Husband, can Ling'er enter the key Taoist class?"
Watching Zhou Ling enter the Taoist academy, Li Ru's eyes were filled with concern and expectation.
Her requirements for Zhou Ling were not high, as long as he could enter a key Taoist class.
As for the top ten, she automatically filters them.
After all, the competition we face is too great.
Not to mention those children from aristocratic families, even among casual cultivators, most of the children's family backgrounds are better than theirs.
In addition to spiritual food, animal meat, etc., a certain amount of elixirs are also provided.
But they had never bought any pills for Zhou Ling.
Zhou Shan gently held Li Ru's hand, "Ling'er looks like you. Not only is he good-looking, he is also smart. He will definitely be able to attend key Taoist classes."
Li Ru quickly retracted his hand. , his face turned slightly red, there was a large crowd here, but he couldn't help but smile.
When they think about it, there seems to be nothing that worries them since their son was born.
It was already early summer, the sun was gradually rising and it was starting to get a little hot.
In addition to the couple, there were many other parents of children around, and everyone was waiting patiently.
At the end of the day, the bells in the Taoist temple rang.
The waiting people all walked towards the entrance of the Taoist temple.
Groups of children, like a tide, walked out of the Taoist temple gate.
Some were smiling, some were frowning, and some were already crying...
It can be said that some families are happy and some are sad.
“Ling’er!”
Soon, Li Ru and his wife were also in the crowd and saw Zhou Ling.
Li Ru looked concerned.
“Dad, mother, it’s perfect!”
Zhou Ling walked briskly and came to Li Ru and his wife, and eagerly handed the transcript to Li Ru.
In terms of the spiritual power test this time, although he only stimulated eleven spiritual points, it was due to the practice of the Spiritual Flame Technique.
The spiritual power in his body is pure enough, and he has also received a Grade A rating.
As for the key skill assessment, he successfully drew three flame inscriptions at one time and obtained a grade of A-6.
Based on the overall score, I barely ranked tenth.
But that was enough for him.
After all, he only has a low-grade spiritual root and was born in a family of casual cultivators. If he gets the top three, it will definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Taoist Academy.
By then, the peaceful life will inevitably be broken, and I am afraid it will be difficult to continue practicing quietly like this.
After all, there are many secrets in my body, and it is easy for problems to arise when meeting high-level monks.
The reason why he wants to enter a key Taoist class and get into the top ten is just to get the Taoist academy bonus and reduce the burden on his parents.
So it would be nice to get in the top ten.
Of course, this is already his greatest effort so far.
He knew his parents' expectations in his heart, and now this achievement can make them happy.
This is the best thing Zhou Ling can do for his parents right now.
Looking at the transcripts, Li Ru and Zhou Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and then their faces were full of joy.
"Good job Ling'er!"
Li Ru's eyes were filled with relief and her heart was excited.
When I was thinking about getting pregnant, I was forced to make a living, so I went into the mountains with a big belly and encountered a black-haired wolf.
My son almost had an accident.
Fortunately, there was no danger in the end, but the child has been weak in recent years.
This is something she feels deeply guilty about.
I didn’t expect my son to be so successful. Not only did he get admitted to the key Taoist class in the Taoist academy, he also entered the top ten.
I couldn't help it, tears flashed in the corners of my eyes.
“Go back first!”
Looking at his wife’s excited expression, Zhou Shan waved with the same smile on his face.
Then he took Zhou Ling's hand and left the crowd with his wife.
