When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 626: Purification Pill

Although the Young Master will be higher in terms of title level, and will have some new features such as "founding a sect" and "recruiting disciples", the benefits of Tianjiao are the best in the entire game.

After a player becomes a Young Master, he will no longer enjoy the benefits of an inner disciple.

This is also reasonable. After all, "disciples" are trained, while "masters" train people.

After a player becomes a young master, the benefits of being a disciple will no longer exist, and the benefits of being a master will be less cost-effective. More often than not, they will have to rely on themselves.

By training more outstanding disciples, we can obtain more resources from the sect.

The "prodigies" can be seen as "enhanced versions of inner disciples". They enjoy even better sect benefits than inner disciples, and they do not need to have the task of training disciples like young masters.

Tianjiao has very strict requirements on the age of practice, and the title will be automatically revoked if you exceed the age limit.

In other words, one must be an inner disciple of the six major sects and reach a very high level of strength within a certain period of time before being recognized as a genius by the sect and receiving additional resources and intensive training.

Another very important point is that this title is so cool!

If you put up a title like "Young Master of Eclipse Spirit Palace", it wouldn't feel very strong.

But what if it was the "Erosion Spirit Heavenly Palace Pride"? Upon seeing this, everyone would exclaim "WTF!"

Although in general cultivation novels, the so-called "genius" is often the one who is slapped in the face by the protagonist, this also indirectly reflects the value of this title.

Lecturer Ding is of course determined to achieve this.

After completing today’s sect mission, Instructor Ding took a look and found that he was already able to take the “Genius Assessment”.

To take the Tianjiao assessment, several specific conditions need to be met.

First of all, one must be an inner disciple of one of the six major sects. Secondly, one's age cannot exceed the limit. Then, additional scores such as cultivation level, magic spells and magic weapons, and the reputation of the sect must all meet the requirements.

After completing today's sect mission, Lecturer Ding's sect reputation has reached the standard.

The extra scores for cultivation realm, spells, and magic weapons have also passed the minimum baseline. Although it is not guaranteed to pass 100%, at least you can enter the assessment dungeon to try.

Lecturer Ding certainly didn't want to wait even a moment, because up to now, no one had become a genius, and he wanted to be the first one in the entire network.

Come to the assessment site and find the corresponding NPC.

However, to the surprise of Instructor Ding, before the assessment officially began, he triggered a special cutscene.

The NPC who was previously in charge of the alchemy room came over and revealed to him some "inside information" about the Tianjiao assessment.

"Junior brother's cultivation progress is really rapid, it is cause for celebration!
"Are you going to take part in the Tianjiao Assessment? My Junior Brother, once you become a Tianjiao, your future will be limitless. I, your Senior Brother, will also benefit from your success.

"but……

"Junior brother, before you take the Tianjiao test, I have some inside information to share with you. This is because you have a great chance of success and you are a regular customer of mine, so I am making an exception to share this information with you."

Looking at the mysterious face of the NPC in the alchemy room, Lecturer Ding was also a little surprised.

There is actually inside information?

Are there any loopholes that can be exploited in this genius assessment?
He hurriedly continued to click on the dialogue options on the screen and read carefully.

“Junior brother, this genius assessment is extremely difficult. It is incomparable to all the competitions and sect missions you have encountered before.

“Moreover, this Tianjiao test can only be conducted once every seven months. If you fail accidentally, you will have to wait seven months before taking it again.

"I know what you are thinking. Do you want to practice for a while longer and improve your strength before taking the test?

"Brother, let me tell you, it's useless. The difficulty of this genius test will change dynamically according to your current cultivation level.

“That is to say, if you practice for an extra month or two, although your strength will improve, the difficulty of the Tianjiao test will also increase accordingly.

"This is exactly the most difficult part of the Tianjiao assessment. Otherwise, Tianjiao disciples would have been scattered all over the sect long ago, right?"

Lecturer Ding couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was something he had never thought of before.

The 7 months mentioned here refers to the time within the game, which corresponds exactly to one month in reality.

If he fails the Tianjiao test this time, then Lecturer Ding will have to try again next month. By then, he will definitely not have a chance to be the "first Tianjiao in the entire network".

Moreover, this genius assessment actually has a dynamic difficulty.

In other words, no matter how he practices in the future, the difficulty will increase accordingly. There is no point in practicing for two or three more months to steadily improve his strength and then take the assessment.

"Then we can only rely on manipulation? Tsk, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Lecturer Ding felt a little regretful.

His operation was of course OK, after all, he had played a lot of action games before, but the problem was that he was not familiar with the operation and combat system of the game "Against the Sky"! Because he spent a lot of money from the beginning, he could basically defeat the enemies he encountered easily, and he didn't have many opportunities to show off his operation.

Therefore, Instructor Ding was not very familiar with the combat operations of this game. He had not mastered the invincibility frames of dodging and the back and forth sway of various attacks.

If this genius assessment is really a high-difficulty copy that requires complex operations, then Lecturer Ding feels that there is a great possibility that he will fail.

"Wait, since this person came to me on his own initiative, does he have any special solution?"

Instructor Ding quickly skipped over those meaningless conversations, and the corresponding dialogue options indeed appeared on the screen.

"Please help me, brother!"

The NPC in the alchemy room smiled happily: "Of course, of course.

“The senior brother will naturally do his best to help the junior brother succeed.

"Junior brother, this problem is actually very easy to solve. Just a few 'Clearing Waste Pills' will greatly improve your strength in a short period of time.

"Moreover, this Qingfei Pill is different from other pills that can improve strength in a short period of time. This Tianjiao test cannot detect it, so it will not cause a change in the difficulty of the test."

Instructor Ding was a little surprised: "Qingfei Pill?"

This was the first time he had heard of the name of this kind of medicine. If it weren't for the subtitles, he might have mistaken it for something like "Qingfei Dan".

According to the NPC in the alchemy room, the alchemy room also has some elixirs that can improve strength in the short term.

For example, during the previous sect competition, Chen Tingquan’s opponent, the disciple of Qingming Medicine Furnace, used this kind of elixir in front of him.

However, the assessment for geniuses is extremely strict. If this kind of elixir is used, the dynamic difficulty will also change at the same time, and it will not have the effect of skipping classes.

If what the NPC in the alchemy room said is true, then the only thing that can help one pass the genius assessment is really this "Qingfei Pill".

"Excuse me, Senior Brother, what is the principle of this Qingfei Pill?"

Instructor Ding clicked on the option on the screen again to ask.

In fact, at this point, he can already go buy medicine directly, and these dialogue options are optional.

However, Lecturer Ding was also a little curious, so he asked casually.

The NPC in the alchemy room smiled and explained: "The waste-clearing pill, as the name suggests, can quickly remove the waste in your body.

“Junior brother, you also know that we cultivators often have various wastes in our bodies, and the amount is considerable, but it is difficult to expel them completely using conventional cultivation methods.

"Because these wastes are originally part of our circulation and body refining.

“The presence of these wastes in the body will make our body heavy, our movements slow down, and to some extent become a burden.

“Of course, since everyone has it, and there is currently no way to clean out all of this waste, you don’t have to worry too much about it during your daily practice.

“But at a critical moment like the Tianjiao Assessment, discharging a little more waste or a little less waste can make a huge difference.

"The most important thing is that after getting rid of these wastes, your strength will be significantly enhanced, but it will not cause a change in the difficulty of the assessment.

"It can be said that it is a must-have item for every disciple who participates in the Tianjiao Assessment."

On Teacher Ding's screen, the original main option "Then please prepare some waste-clearing pills for me," was still there, but the additional inquiry options had changed.

"So, does this Qingfei Pill have any adverse effects?"

This is a new option, which just happened to answer the questions in Lecturer Ding’s mind.

The NPC in the alchemy room coughed twice and said, "This... Junior Brother, I'm telling you the truth, all medicines are poisonous. This Qingfei Pill is the same as the Jiulong Pill, so it naturally has a certain degree of toxicity to the internal organs.

"To put it bluntly, these so-called 'body wastes' are also part of our physical body. Forcibly clearing them out will naturally cause damage to our physical body.

"But then again, we cultivators are supposed to go against the will of heaven. Junior brother, you have been taking the Nine Dragon Pill for so long, you should understand that, right?"

Lecturer Ding understood.

“Oh, I see.

"This is a fucking diuretic, right?"

Right, all right.

By now players have discovered that this "Against the Heavens" is definitely inspired by the bodybuilding circle. The sense of déjà vu of the Nine Dragon Pills and various settings is so strong that it is hard not to identify with them.
