I have a forging furnace.

Chapter 162: The Code of Killing

Fu Feipeng didn't know Lin Yu's current level of cultivation, so he was very dissatisfied when his master gave the position of deacon of the Alchemy Hall to Lin Yu.

For so many years, he has followed Gan Yunhui. Even if he has not made any contributions, he has worked hard.

I didn't expect that after following him for so many years, I'm not as favored as a new disciple.

But Lin Yu's performance today completely changed his opinion.

He loved alchemy so much that he was willing to stay in the alchemy hall. He admired Lin Yu's behavior and his dissatisfaction was reduced a lot.

After Lin Yu invited him to be the deputy director, his dissatisfaction completely disappeared.

Lin Yuming was obviously concentrating on alchemy, and the power of the Alchemy Hall fell completely into his hands.

There's nothing to worry about.

Fu Feipeng agreed to serve as deputy director, which was a mutually beneficial thing.

Lin Yu enjoys status, but is unwilling to deal with miscellaneous matters. Fu Feipeng happens to be keen on this and is very envious of power, so the two sides hit it off.

Two days later, in the early morning, at the entrance examination site of Xuanyang Sect.

It was crowded with mortals and monks who came from all over Dongzhou.

At a glance, there is no end in sight.

Many servants and outer disciples were maintaining order outside. With so many people, if a stampede occurred, it would have a very bad impact.

"There are too many people participating in the selection."

Xing Hao squeezed in the crowd, looking at the crowded people around him, and said with some amazement.

"It's good to lean on a big tree for shade. With four Jindan cultivators, Xuanyang Sect is considered a pretty good force in Dongzhou."

The old voice in my mind said in a nonchalant manner, "You have never seen a big scene. This number of people is nothing. The holy places of cultivation in Central Continent recruit a group of disciples every ten years. If you have seen such a grand scene once, you will know what is shocking."

"Zhongzhou? If I have the chance, I will definitely go and take a look."

A look of longing appeared in Xing Hao's eyes. He had been listening to his master talk about the affairs of Zhongzhou, and he was very curious about everything in Zhongzhou.

Inside the sect's main hall, many elders and leaders used the water mirror technique to watch the assessment scene outside.

They were also surprised to see so many people waiting outside.

"So many people have signed up. The number is dozens of times that of half a year ago."

"As expected, a good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. In the past few years, we posted notices everywhere and recruited disciples, but there were still very few people who came to take the test. This year, as soon as the news of Elder Gan's Dan formation came out, such a hot scene immediately appeared."

"Yes, yes, it is Elder Gan who brings honor to us."

While sighing, several of them also glanced at Lin Yu who was standing next to them, making sure that Lin Yu could hear their praise.

Lin Yu naturally knew what they were doing.

He was a nobody before, but when he first arrived here, he was warmly welcomed.

No matter if they were elders in the foundation-building stage or deacons in the Qi training stage, everyone greeted him warmly and everyone respectfully called him Deacon Lin.

As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. After the master became a Jindan cultivator, the status of his disciple was significantly improved.

This kind of behavior of being the center of attention made Lin Yu, who has always been low-key, a little uncomfortable.

But since I have participated in this kind of activity, there is no way to avoid it and I can only continue to socialize.

However, he secretly made up his mind that in the future, he would try to let his third senior brother attend such public events, and it would be better for him not to show up if possible.

Fortunately, this flattering behavior did not last long. With the official start of the assessment, everyone's attention was focused on the disciples taking the assessment.

Lin Yu also turned his gaze to the projected image. The first project, and the most important one, was to test the spiritual roots.

Spiritual root talent is the most important of many talents. As long as the spiritual root talent is high, it doesn’t matter much even if you have no other talents.

Because there were so many people, dozens of spiritual root testing points were opened at the same time.

"Five lower-grade spiritual roots!"

“Middle-grade five spiritual roots!”

"Four lower-grade spiritual roots!"

“No spiritual roots!”

“Middle-grade four spiritual roots!”

After each test, the disciple who conducted the test would loudly announce the result of the test.

Not only will the person conducting the test know, but the many elders and persons in charge who are watching through the water mirror technique will also know clearly.

Those with poor spiritual roots were sad after hearing this, those with good spiritual roots were overjoyed, and those without spiritual roots were even more desperate.

Watching this scene, Lin Yu couldn't help but recall the disappointment and loneliness he felt when he first took the test and found out that he had five lower-grade spiritual roots.

Fortunately, with the help of the refining furnace, in just over half a year, he had broken through from a small chores to the middle stage of foundation building.

After being distracted for a moment, Lin Yu immediately came back.

It's enough to reminisce about the past a little bit, but people still have to look forward.

Half a day passed before the first round of assessment ended.

In this round of assessment, a mortal with three upper-grade spiritual roots appeared, causing Si Qifeng, who had been secretly observing the entrance assessment, to personally take part.

He personally took him through the first stage of the Dao Heart Assessment, and after confirming that there were no problems, he skipped the subsequent procedures and accepted him as his disciple.

Such good luck naturally aroused envy from those who were evaluating him from outside.

Xing Hao was watching and felt jealous. He couldn't help but ask in his mind:
"Master, do you have any way to improve my spiritual roots?"

"Spiritual roots are determined by heaven. It is very difficult to change them later."

An old voice sounded: "There are some practical ways to improve low-grade spiritual roots to medium-grade spiritual roots, but if you want to improve your medium-grade spiritual roots to high-grade spiritual roots, you can only find those extremely rare spiritual objects in heaven and earth."

"Is that so?" Xing Hao's voice was filled with disappointment.

"Idiot."

The old voice reappeared: "The Killing Dao Canon can help you absorb the killing energy and quickly break through the realm. If you have enough killing energy, your cultivation speed can far exceed that of high-grade spiritual roots or even higher-grade spiritual roots."

"Possessing the Slaughter Dao Canon is already a first-class immortal fate. Don't be distracted by other requests."

"Yes."

Xing Hao's eyes flashed with light. Looking at the direction where the top-grade spiritual root went away, he swore in his heart: "Even if you have a top-grade spiritual root, I will still be your untouchable goal in the future."

After a brief interlude, the assessment continued.

The second round of assessment is the assessment of Taoism heart. To cultivate immortality one must have a firm Taoism heart. If one’s Taoism heart is not firm, Xuanyang Sect will not accept one even if he wants to join the sect as a menial disciple.

After passing the Dao Heart Test, menial disciples do not need to undergo subsequent tests and can directly join the sect.

The remaining disciples will take part in the third round of assessment, which requires them to use various means to reach the sect’s headquarters from the assessment site.

This third round of assessment tests comprehensive ability the most. When each hall and elders recruit people and disciples, they also pay the most attention to the performance in this round of assessment.
