Chapter 186 The Golden Elixir Seed Assessment Begins

Chapter 186 The Golden Elixir Seed Assessment Begins

In the outer courtyard of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, inside the Weapon Refining House.

All the other disciples had already left the monastery after listening to Hu Jiaoxi’s sermon.

Jiaoxi Hu asked Zhou Ling to stay alone.

“I have reached the peak of Qi training, not bad!”

Feeling the change in Zhou Ling's aura, Hu Jiaoxi praised him.

Zhou Ling was brought into Xuanyuan Taoist Academy by him, and now he is undoubtedly the first person among this freshmen.

This also makes his teaching points this year rank first in the Taoist Academy.

Of course, many teachers in the Taoist Academy have doubts about Zhou Ling's spiritual roots.

I think it will be very difficult for him to enter foundation building in the future.

Although he is now a second-grade weapon refiner, this is probably his limit.

But what made him happy was that Zhou Ling's cultivation speed was not affected by his qualifications.

Even no less than top talented disciples such as Liu Yu and Ye Zhilan.

This also made him quite gratified.

"Zhou Ling, this is the golden elixir seed assessment jade tablet you want."

Afterwards, Hu Jiaoxi took out a jade plaque, handed it to Zhou Ling, and said with a smile.

“Thank you for teaching me!”

Zhou Ling thanked him respectfully and took the jade token with both hands.

It has been half a month since he returned from the Ancient Cloud Realm. During these days, he has been fully preparing for the Golden Elixir Seed Assessment.

Originally, only disciples who have been in the outer courtyard for more than two years are eligible to participate.

However, Zhou Ling is in a special situation. He is the leader of the foundation seed assessment, so he can also participate.

"Zhou Ling, although you are already a second-level technical mage, this golden elixir seed assessment is different from the one you originally participated in."

"Golden elixir seeds, He can be regarded as a true disciple of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, and will be the foundation of the Taoist Academy in the future, so the difficulty will not be less than that of Tiangong Division's second-grade assessment, or even a few points higher!"

"The assessment is It will take three days, and it will be a huge test for spiritual power and spiritual consciousness. "

"And this process will also involve many things such as earth and fire, material selection, etc. "
< br>

"The other participants are all monks who have been at the peak of Qi training for many years. They have already had the ability to build foundations."

"They suppressed their cultivation just to wait for the Taoist Academy's heavenly foundation building pills."

Jiaoxi Hu said to Zhou Ling with a serious face.

“Disciple understands!”

Zhou Ling cupped his hands and replied.

The Golden Elixir Seed Assessment is also the most important assessment for the disciples in the outer courtyard.

After all, in addition to rewards such as Foundation Building Pills, you can also be accepted as a disciple by Xuanyuan Taoist Academy's Golden Pill and Yuanying monks.

This starting point is very high.

So it is also the most difficult.

Disciples who participate in the assessment are required to reach the ninth level of Qi training and pass the first-level assessment of the Technique Master.

Taoist disciples who can meet the requirements will basically take part in the assessment.

“There are still ten days until the assessment begins, so within these ten days, you must be fully prepared.”

“You also have to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses. I see you are refining the sword. It’s still relatively advantageous.”

“Although I don’t know the content of this year’s assessment, if you can refine a sword, it’s best to refine a sword!”

Hu Jiaoxi said slowly to Zhou Ling. .

"Yes, teach me!"

Zhou Ling replied.

Then he asked Teacher Hu some questions about sword seals and some specific conditions of the assessment.

After understanding it almost, I left the Taoist house.

·······.

In the evening he returned home.

Over the past few months, my parents have gradually become accustomed to life in Qingyun Fairy City.

And the business of the winery is pretty good.

Although the sales volume is not as high as in Lingxia Fairy City.

But if you can sell it at a good price, you can make a lot of money.

Every day, my father is responsible for purchasing spiritual rice and other materials, while my mother is responsible for brewing and selling.

Brewing three furnaces of high-quality spiritual wine every day can earn one to two hundred low-grade spiritual stones.

The two of them were also very satisfied with this situation.

Moreover, the small courtyard is full of spiritual energy, and their cultivation has made obvious progress.

Knowing that his son was coming back, Li Ru also prepared a table full of spiritual food.

After drinking a large bowl of spiritual chicken soup, Zhou Ling also looked satisfied. Although the spiritual food outside was not bad, the food made by his mother was still delicious.

Took out another storage bag and said to the two of them, "Dad, these are the blood crystals and body refining herbs I prepared for you."

"In addition, there are thousands of kilograms of spiritual energy in it. Rice! "

"Ling'er, I still have the blood crystal stones you gave me last time. You can keep these for yourself!" Zhou Shan said, shaking his head.

"Dad, just keep it, I still have it on hand!" Zhou Ling said with a smile.

Now that my parents are so supportive of each other, they can safely run a small business, earn spiritual stones, and improve their cultivation.

It is also what he wants to see most.

But a few months later, the blood crystal in my father’s hand was still there.

Obviously the cultivation progress is not ideal, and this is all my fault.

Originally, the practice of "Three Yang Jue" was extremely difficult, and I was able to progress smoothly only with the blessing of my talent.

I originally thought that with my own cultivation understanding, it would be much easier for my father to practice.

But the actual situation is not like this.

This also led to the slow progress of my father's cultivation.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Ling took out two jade books from the storage ring and handed them to his father, "Dad, these are the two body-training techniques that I accidentally obtained. Ancient Ape Body Refining Technique and Mountain Moving Technique"

"Which technique is more suitable?"

Seeing the two spells, Zhou Shan's eyes lit up, he took the book and started reading.

"Ling'er, eat a chicken leg." Li Ru sandwiched the still steaming chicken leg and placed it in Zhou Ling's bowl.

"Mom, you eat too!" Zhou Ling picked up the chicken drumsticks with his hands and ate them directly.

After chatting with his father for a few words, his mother had already filled his bowl with spiritual food.

“Mom has something to eat every day!”

Li Ru said with a cheerful face.

"Huzi sent a letter two days ago, and also sent over a thousand low-grade spiritual stones earned in the past five months."

Li Ru continued. .

“If you can earn more than a thousand yuan in five months, that’s not bad!” Zhou Ling said with a smile.

“This is because I’m not there, so I make a lot less wine every day.” Li Ru said with a smile.

However, he said with a slightly helpless expression, "The business of the wine shop is quite good."

"Hu Zi also knows how to be a good person, so he recruited several people from the original medicine search team to help in the wine shop."

"However, your Uncle Chu didn't go."

"Huzi's letter mentioned that Brother Chu purchased the Foundation Establishment Pill two months ago."

"Last month He prepared to build the foundation, but failed in the end, and his cultivation failed instead of advancing.”

"Uncle Chu failed to build the foundation!" Zhou Ling was also surprised when he heard this.

“Yes, Brother Chu, I am afraid that all the savings over the years will be put in, but there is nothing we can do about it.”

“If the casual cultivators want to successfully build the foundation, It’s too difficult!”

At this time, Zhou Shan also said.

Zhou Ling didn't know what to say for a moment. Uncle Chu was already fifty and the foundation building failed this time.

It will be even more difficult to successfully build the foundation in the future.

Li Ru seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and said with a smile, "In addition, there is one more thing, Huzi's wife is pregnant!"

"Now Huzi is about to be a father. !"

"Hu Zi is going to be a father!" Zhou Ling also looked surprised.

This guy can do it!

He is a few months older than me, so he is only fourteen years old, and he is going to be a father!

This can be considered a big winner in life!

Then, Li Ru also told him about the situation of other people in Lingxia Fairy City.

Fang Jiaoxi, Master Lu and others.

It seems that Huzi also knows Zhou Ling well, and he went out of his way to get to know him before writing the letter.

After comparing the two techniques and the Three Yang Technique, Zhou Shan finally decided to practice the Moving Mountain Technique. Zhou Ling naturally supported his father's choice.

·······.

On the ninth day of June, Xuanyuan Taoist Academy’s golden elixir seed assessment day arrives.

“Our Xuanyuan Taoist Academy is conducting the assessment of golden elixir seeds this year.”

"It starts at midnight on June 9th and ends at Xu hour on June 12th."

"This assessment lasts for three days. All disciples participating in the assessment please prepare to enter the assessment area."
< br>·······．

In the square of Xuanyuan Taoist Temple, Dean Zhong’s rich voice spread throughout the square.

In the southwest corner of the square, Zhou Ling is sitting on a futon.

Next to him were Zhou Shan and his wife, as well as Wang Xin and Sun Dajie.

They also came to watch Zhou Ling's assessment.

Zhou Ling listened to Dean Zhong’s introduction.

I quickly understood the situation of this assessment.

It starts at midnight on June 9th and ends at Xushi on June 12th, which is roughly four days.

The reason why the assessment time has become longer this time is mainly due to changes in the assessment content.

Nowadays, in addition to the assessment area, there is also a materials area and a fire area in the square.

Each magician can go to the material area to select the materials he needs. He can choose at will. The material grade can even be second-level high-grade, and there is no limit on the quantity.

You can also go to the ground fire area to guide the ground fire.

Then start refining.

For example, Zhou Ling is a weapon refiner and has to make his own tools.

The Talisman Master has to refine the Talisman Paper himself.

So the time becomes longer, the consumption becomes greater, and the requirements for monks in all aspects are also higher.

The Taoist Academy judges will all pay attention to the assessment process.

There are two criteria for judging. One is the quality of the treasures that are refined after the assessment; the other is the quantity of the treasures.

There is no rule this time, only one treasure needs to be refined.

So the number of refined treasures is also a measure.

Because it is a golden elixir seed assessment, it must reflect a disciple’s overall potential.

It not only assesses cultivation, but also assesses endurance and mentality.

After all, disciples who can enter the inner courtyard, not to mention foundation building, will also have a great chance of entering the golden elixir in the future.

The Jindan monks are already the backbone of the Tao Alliance.

What’s more, these disciples are all technical masters, which is even more important.

So the assessment must be comprehensive.

This is also in line with Xuanyuan Taoist Academy's consistent style of striving for excellence.

As Dean Zhong’s voice fell, the disciples participating in the assessment walked towards the assessment platform one after another.

Zhou Ling also met Liu Yu, Ye Zhilan and the others.

Several foundation-building seed disciples participated.

Liu Yu and the others had different expressions when they met Zhou Ling.

No one expected that in less than a year, this guy who was only practicing at the seventh level of qi had not passed the Taoist foundation building test.

He has actually reached the ninth level of Qi training.

Is this guy really a low-grade spiritual root?

At this time, these disciples all have such questions in their minds?

The geniuses like Liu Yu and Ye Zhilan looked even more unwilling.

From the time they entered the Taoist Academy to now, they have been suppressed by Zhou Ling at every turn.

So, they all wanted to find a chance to defeat Zhou Ling.

And this assessment is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless to wait until you enter the foundation building and then defeat Zhou Ling.

After all, Zhou Ling has a low-grade spiritual root, so it is not easy to build a foundation.

Even if the foundation is successfully established, it will be completely different for them at that time.

Of course, the reason why Liu Yu and others did not prepare to build a foundation was to compress the spiritual power in their bodies to the extreme.

It has great impact on earth-level foundation building and even heaven-level foundation building.

Zhou Ling didn't pay much attention. When he saw an acquaintance, he smiled and said hello.

Soon, after completing the identity check, he entered the assessment area.

With the experience of the last Tiangong Division second grade assessment, Zhou Lingyi entered the assessment area.

I discovered something unusual.

"Sure enough, the aura and earth fire of each assessment position are different."

Zhou Ling glanced over and thought to himself.

Of course this is the result of [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis].

About three hundred disciples participated in the assessment, mainly senior disciples of the Taoist Academy.

Zhou Ling only has eight foundation-building seeds in this session.

Since there are no regulations on the types and quantities of treasures to be refined, most disciples will definitely refine more than one kind.

And you can choose what you are best at refining.

So if I have time, I will definitely refine a few more.

The choice of materials and the selection of the jade platform for assessment are all extremely important.

“The aura in the east area is even and the five elements attributes are complete.”

"The west side is closer to the earth's fire veins."

"The fire attribute spiritual power in the south area is stronger, but relatively mixed."

"The wood attribute in the north area is relatively strong, and is beneficial to The soul is restored."

Zhou Ling scanned the jade platform carefully, using [Intermediate Observation] to observe the situation of each jade platform.

Every jade platform is now open, which means that all disciples must find the jade platform on their own.

This can also be regarded as an assessment of spiritual power perception.

"The power of the spiritual flames in my body now is enough to temper the equipment without the need for earth fire, so the west area can be eliminated!"

Zhou Ling made a comparison and headed towards the east area Go.

I quickly found the jade platform with the most spiritual energy.

With the talent of [Five Elements Gathering Spirits], he doesn’t have to worry about lack of spiritual power.

“This little guy is the first one to enter the jade platform again!”

“And he’s actually reached the peak of Qi training, not bad!”

Looking at Zhou Ling being the first to enter the jade platform, the judges At the table, Dean Zhong couldn't help but smile and said.

Now he is deeply impressed by Zhou Ling.

My cultivation level is not high, but my weapon refining techniques are extremely sophisticated.

He was also quite surprised to reach the peak of Qi training in such a short period of time.

“How did he do it?”

At the same time, Daojian Zhang who was beside him also showed a look of surprise.

In addition to the two of them, there were also Hu Jiaoxi and others at the judges' table.

There are also several middle-aged people with more vigorous auras among them, three men and one woman.

They are all teachers in the inner courtyard and also Golden Elixir monks.

It’s either a third-grade or a fourth-grade technical mage.

As a judge this time, I am also looking to see if there are any good ideas.

"A low-grade spiritual root can reach the peak of Qi training at this age. How did he do it?"

A red-faced middle-aged man also said curiously.

He is Ji Changqing, a teacher in the inner courtyard.

"Can it be a hidden spirit body?"

Another square-looking middle-aged man said.

"Probably not. When school started last year, he did not pass the foundation building test!"

"General spirits can basically pass the foundation building test!"

Zhang Daojian shook his head and said.

Hearing this, several Jindan teachers looked surprised.
