TaiHao

In the preaching hall, Xun Yang looked at the seven ninth-generation disciples he had attacked. Lin Zixuan, Tao Yuan, Yang Ling, Ma Yuan, Chu Chaoyun, Zheng Guide and Jiang Yuanchen, who had just started, all arrived here except Zhu Chunzheng and Wei Gong.

"You guys are very free. Are you here to see how your junior brother is taking the test?" Xun Yang asked with a smile on his face.

The reason why Xun Yang is smiling is entirely because there is a word "laugh" hanging on Mu Mu's face.

The "Master Xun" these brothers call is actually a wooden puppet? As if feeling Jiang Yuanchen's doubtful gaze, the word "laugh" on Xun Yang's wooden face turned into the word "no".

"My true self is practicing in seclusion in the cave, so I have to use my spiritual consciousness to control the puppet to preach to you."

Currently, there are only ten successful core disciples of Taixu Dao Sect. The other Jindan monks are ordinary disciples of the seventh and eighth generations. They can just take care of the inner sect and be responsible for running the internal affairs. Places such as the Chuandao Hall and Qianji Pavilion are personally controlled by the core disciples. Due to the insufficient number of people and the fact that they themselves have to practice Taoism, they have no choice but to use puppets and other methods to support their appearance.

Xun Yang's puppet has a total of five expressions: "laughing, happy, crying, angry, and helpless". It is through this puppet that he controls the situation in the preaching hall.

A questionnaire filled with test questions floated to Jiang Yuanchen's side, and Xun Yang's eyes turned to the other disciples.

"Since you are here too, then——"

"Master Xun!" Lin Zixuan and Yang Ling spoke at the same time.

Looking at each other, Lin Zixuan said first: "Disciple has just come back. My original intention is to report to Master Xun and ask about some precautions for breaking through the heartbeat period."

Lin Zixuan reached the foundation-building stage of Great Perfection when he went out to Huanglin Mountain. After several fights, he vaguely felt that his breakthrough day was coming, but he had some worries in the world outside. This time he returned to the mountain to practice, of course he wanted to be one step ahead of many of his fellow disciples to reach the heart-beating stage.

Yang Ling also said after Lin Zixuan: "Now that my disciple's performance has reached a bottleneck, he wants to ask Master Xun for advice on how to practice the Purple Lotus Heqi Technique. But he was worried that Junior Brother Jiang had just started and was afraid that he would not be able to find the preaching hall, so he deliberately brought him Come with him."

The two people seemed to have thought of something and quickly distanced themselves. As expected, tragedy happened.

Four puppet arms flew out from behind the wooden man and wrote test papers on four pieces of white paper. Then the four test papers flew in front of Tao Yuan, Ma Yuan, Chu Chaoyun, and Zheng Guide.

"Let's put aside Junior Nephew Lin and Junior Nephew Yang. Since the four of you are here to accompany your Junior Brother Jiang, then you can just answer this questionnaire. The person with the worst grade will go back and copy the correct answer twenty as punishment.”

Chu Chaoyun and others' expressions froze, and Chu Chaoyun was the first to cry out: "Master Xun, please spare us. We just came to see our junior brother out of friendship with our fellow disciples."

To see him? Is it to see how he makes a fool of himself? The wooden man's facial expression once again changed to the word "laugh".

In order to know the level of study of each incoming disciple, Xun Yang would give them a questionnaire at the beginning to test their skills.

But don't forget one thing! The characters used by the real Immortal Sect are "Yuheng Seal Script", which is not a mortal font.

After all, the immortal sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and the characters in the mortal world have been improved in various ways through the changes of dynasties, and even the characters in each state are different. Even if it is replaced every five hundred years, is it possible that the plaques on various buildings in the Taixu Dao Sect will still change back and forth with the fonts in the mortal world? Doesn't it mean that the real person Lingxu, who has lived for more than a thousand years, has to go back and forth to the mortal world several times to relearn the writing of the secular world?

Everything in the inner door was written in Yuheng seal script, so Chu Chaoyun and others did not know the location of the mission hall at first, and they could not recognize the various scenes of Taixu Dao Sect, so they had no choice but to enter a building casually and look for a living person. I came to ask for directions and it took me half a day to find the mission hall.

These nine generations of disciples have all experienced this kind of thing. Except for a few people such as Yang Ling who deliberately inquired about the location of the preaching hall in advance, most of them made a fool of themselves.

After arriving at the mission hall, Xun Yang will take out a test paper. This test paper is written in Yuheng seal script. According to the cultural background of ordinary disciples in the outer sect, they will never be able to understand it.

Next, the disciples should humbly and politely ask Xun Yang to change the words taught by the outer sect. At this time, Xun Yang would re-write a test paper suitable for the outer sect disciples based on their basic knowledge, and then let them answer the questions again.

This is a slap in the face, or a warning to these true candidates not to have a sense of superiority just because they are admitted to the inner door first. The way of heaven is vast, and even Master Yuanshen is still a humble seeker on the road. What can juniors like them who have just established a foundation be proud of? Building a foundation before the age of thirty is a condition that all core disciples have, and it cannot be something they are proud of.

Tao Yuan and others followed Jiang Yuanchen here, not necessarily because they wanted to see what Jiang Yuanchen was like with them, so as to find a psychological balance. It can be said that this is the long-standing tradition of Taixu Dao Sect and the "bad taste" of all the brothers and teachers. But when Xun Yang saw the appearance of these boys, he threw out four questionnaires and asked them to share the joys and sorrows with their junior brothers.

Only Lin Zixuan and Yang Ling noticed something was wrong early on and quickly distanced themselves from Chu Chaoyun and others.

Of course, Jiang Yuanchen couldn't care about Chu Chaoyun and others now, but was distressed as he looked at the questionnaire in front of him that incorporated the resentments of many seniors from three generations later. This power was established by Master Hongfei, and it has been passed down for more than a thousand years from the time of Master Lingxu. All the candidates for the true inheritance have experienced this "reporting ceremony" of the preaching hall.

Exam! It’s been a long time coming. After realizing the horror of exams in the dream world for more than ten years, who would have thought that practicing the method of immortality would be like this?

Jiang Yuanchen was half a year later than the general candidates who entered the inner sect. In the past six months, Lin Zixuan and Chen Hao had supplemented some cultivation knowledge for him. Together with the Yuheng seal script that Lin Zixuan gave him, he could barely read out this questionnaire. Most of.

Because it was aimed at disciples who had just started, Xun Yang didn't expect them to understand it. He was just using Yu Heng Ling Seal to fool people, so he randomly picked out a questionnaire from the inner sect that he had compiled in the past and gave it to Jiang Yuanchen. I just waited for Jiang Yuanchen to come up and return it humbly and politely, and then give him the real test paper again.

The entire test paper is divided into three parts. The first part is some questions and answers in the spiritual world.

For example, please answer three of the methods for melting thousand-year black iron.

What should you pay attention to when collecting Changlingcao? Please write down all four key points.

The Taixu Taoist Sect respects purple qi, so why does the Taixu Taoist sect prefer purple qi practice and why does it go outside to collect qi at dawn?

There are no less than three recipes for "Guiyuan Pill" written silently.

Specifically, what are the nine great immortal sects? Please list them in detail and tell me the proud techniques of each sect.

There are three fire-based Taojutsu listed in detail. The second Taojutsu is a derivative of the first Taojutsu, and the third Taojutsu is a combination of the first and second Taojutsu.

…

Just looking at these questions in the first part, Jiang Yuanchen instantly felt bad. After briefly answering a few questions that I could understand and knew the answers to, I ignored most of the remaining questions and turned directly to the second part.

If the first part is a common sense question, then the second part involves specific practical operations.

The first question is, when you meet a fire magic monk and the other person has cast the "Three Ming Rapid Fire Curse", what should you do? Please use a Taoist technique, a sword technique or a magical power to break the opponent's attack.

"Three Ming Rapid Fire Curse", what is this? I remember that Uncle Chen Hao once vaguely mentioned that this seems to be a spell from the Jingyang Taoist sect?

The second question is to use one pound of thousand-year-old black iron and three hundred-year-old black tortoise shells to refine a magical weapon. Please explain the refining process of the magical weapon in detail and list the functions of this magical weapon.

Refining weapons! Can a new disciple know how to refine weapons? If you want to use the true fire of your life, you need to be in the heartbeat stage, or an alien like Senior Brother Lin can possess the true fire of your life in advance during the foundation building stage. Is this an exam question for new students? Jiang Yuanchen's face became more and more ugly, it was obvious that he was making things difficult for others.

The third question is, when the "Hua Yu Dan" has been refined to the stage of Yuye Purple Gas, if a ginseng fruit of three-leaf salvia miltiorrhiza accidentally falls into it, then several medicinal materials need to be put in one after another to remove the ginseng fruit. Eliminate the medicinal properties and ensure that this elixir can be successfully prepared. (Note, the more medicinal materials you put in, the lower your score for this question will be. I can use two medicinal materials to neutralize the medicinal properties, so I’m optimistic about you!)

You are so cute, do the elders of the master know? Jiang Yuanchen once again had the feeling of taking an exam in a dream world after a long absence. It was no longer easy to maintain the modest temperament he had cultivated over the past ten years, and he kept complaining about the questions in his mind.

From elixirs to weapon making, from celestial phenomena to geography, from Taoist deductions to practical operations, this questionnaire included many contents, and at the same time, it also made Jiang Yuanchen put away his previous feelings about cultivating immortals.

Yes, cultivating immortals and seeking immortality is easy to say, but if you do anything wrong on the road to cultivation, it will lead to a dead end. You must learn the skills to fight with others, so grasping the battle situation and understanding Taoism are very important. Not to mention improvising on the spot, if you can't even do it on paper, how long can you survive with just brute force? If you don't even understand the Taoist techniques performed by the opponent, let alone actually crack them.

There are also alchemy making tools. If you don’t even understand the most basic common sense of medicinal herbs, and you don’t even understand the cold and heat properties of elixirs, how dare you talk about alchemy? If something goes wrong while refining the elixir, how can the elixir be preserved through its properties? When making tools, how can the materials maximize their properties, and how can they express more of the magic, forbidden, spiritual, and forbidden materials?

Each question gave Jiang Yuanchen a deeper understanding of cultivating immortals. Cultivation of immortals is not about collecting Qi. You can fly to become immortals by meditating. It is not just about using force to determine the winner or loser. Is the knowledge about immortality that has been passed down for thousands of years so simple? Not even as good as a mortal imperial examination? Could it be that a monk's hundreds of years of study and thousands of years of experience are inferior to a mortal's decades of study in the imperial examination?

Drinking wine, singing songs and holding swords freely, killing people thousands of miles away in the air, it is indeed a gratification in the eyes of mortals, but how many people understand the efforts behind this?

Waving hands and drawing talismans controls everything in the world. If you don't understand the laws of heaven and earth and are not familiar with the changes in talismans, how can you do such a thing with ease?

Jiang Yuanchen silently looked at the last part. The content of the third part was much simpler. It was an article written in Yuheng Lingzhuan. The theme is to praise clouds, but the word "cloud" cannot appear in the whole article. The minimum number is 500 Yuheng seal characters, and the sentences are required to be smooth and the rhetoric is gorgeous.
