Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 64: Second Level of Assessment: Comprehension Level
The Pulse Protection Pill is a lower-level substitute for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, it does not help cultivators to complete any of the three stages of foundation building, but to protect the meridians and save lives. It can prevent cultivators who fail in the foundation building from dying from shattered heart meridians.

Although it cannot directly help those at the peak of Qi Refining to improve their chances of building a foundation, it gives those who take it supreme courage.

When breaking through the barriers, courage is also a good medicine, so the value of life-saving pills such as the Pulse Protection Pill is not low. Every time it is auctioned, the transaction price is more than two thousand spirit stones.

"Qianfan, give it your all. I've made a bet of two Pulse Protection Pills with the other party. You'll get something in return."

When Lin Qianfan heard the Fourth Elder's message, he instantly became interested and nodded imperceptibly.

For a powerful foundation-building expert like the Fourth Elder who still holds a high position in the Jindan faction, two thousand spirit stones are only comparable to Lin Qianfan's twenty spirit stones and are not worth mentioning.

Although Lin Qianfan couldn't brag in public, he was already pretty sure in his heart, but he didn't know how much he would get in the end.

Although he himself could not use it, it was completely enough for Lin Qianfan to have a Foundation Establishment Pill as insurance.

But Second Uncle and Eighth Brother might be able to use it. One more Meridian Protecting Pill means one more chance to break through to the foundation-building stage, and the success rate of the second attack can be greatly improved.

After all, Lin Qianfan's family certainly cannot afford to support three people with three spiritual roots in this generation to build their foundation. They may even have to borrow money from each other by then.

So you must fight for such a large bounty, and if you really can't use it, you can sell it.

"what?"

Lin Qianfan keenly noticed two strange gazes, and when he looked over, he found that they were the geniuses Lin Qianxue and Lin Qiansuo.

There was a fighting spirit in their eyes that refused to give up.

However, Lin Qianfan did not make any response and had no intention of provoking. After all, only the test results were the only persuasive force.

To a certain extent, one's character determines whether a cultivator can continue on for a long time, while one's understanding affects the upper limit of a cultivator to a certain extent.

What is understanding?
Insight and mind are similar in that they are both very aggregated, comprehensive, and holistic concepts.

Insight is a person's comprehensive ability to perceive, observe, think, understand, analyze and judge everything.

Generally speaking, understanding can be divided into two levels:

The first level is innate understanding.

Everyone has innate understanding, some people have higher levels and some have lower levels, but the vast majority of people are within the normal range.

But there are also a very small number of people who are born with wild imagination and flashes of inspiration. They can grasp the fleeting inspiration in everything and suddenly see the light.

There are very few people with this kind of talent, so we will not discuss it.

The second level is acquired understanding.

Acquired understanding can be cultivated by constantly absorbing external information, knowledge, cognition and other nutrients.

To put it simply, the more knowledgeable and talented a person is, the higher his acquired understanding will be, and he will understand everything at a glance.

Innate understanding and acquired understanding often complement each other. It is difficult for anyone to go far relying solely on innate understanding or acquired understanding. The strong ones will constantly supplement and enrich themselves so as not to fall behind in this area.

The benefits of high enlightenment are reflected in many aspects, such as the comprehension of cultivation techniques, the learning of magical abilities, the understanding of the various arts of cultivation, the grasp of the law of nature, etc.

A cultivator with high comprehension ability may not necessarily achieve success, but a cultivator with low comprehension ability will definitely have no future.

This stuff is more absolute. After all, how can someone who can't even comprehend his own cultivation method talk about the long-term path?
Therefore, the second level of the foundation-building seed assessment is the level of comprehension!

"Go."

The comprehension level is still achieved with the help of formations, but this time the competition is not about who breaks through the level first.

Instead, within the same three incense sticks of time, one is nourished with a lot of unfamiliar yet profound knowledge in the illusion array, and then solves the problem through memory → understanding → application → reverse reasoning.

This process is very similar to the process of going to school and taking exams in ethnic studies, except that the time period of this process is very short.

Candidates must accept unfamiliar knowledge and respond quickly based on their existing logical structure and knowledge framework.

"Isn't that a bit beyond the scope?"

Lin Qianfan dealt with it quite easily. With the knowledge of a Jindan cultivator, it was quite easy for him to observe these first-level problems that seemed profound but were actually simple.

But Lin Qianfan did not cheat. Instead, he relied solely on the knowledge he had learned in the clan school and the level of the first floor of the Yanglongwan Library to complete the assessment, without easily using any abilities beyond the standard.

Geniuses can exist, but geniuses are short-lived. Geniuses with a complete growth trajectory are the ones favored by those in power. Incomprehensible talent only intimidates and alienates people.

Lin Qianfan was not afraid of losing. The first floor of the library seemed to contain some basic knowledge, but in fact it covered everything.

When the level of reading comprehension increases, a complete, stable and comprehensive basic knowledge framework will be formed.

It is not difficult to use this framework to understand other difficult first-order knowledge. Just leave the very few problems that cannot be solved as they are, as long as you can get an excellent result.

After three incense sticks, fifteen people came out together.

Some people frowned, some looked calm, some sighed, and some were very excited.

However, these expressions do not represent the level of their performance, but only represent the degree of satisfaction with their own performance.

"The six people who performed well in this round are Lin Qianfan, Lin Qiansuo, Lin Qianling, Lin Qianxue, Lin Qianyu, and Lin Qianshi."

Three of the five people from Yanglong Bay achieved excellent results, while the other two boatmen's acquired comprehension was not good enough, so Myna was defeated.

"This person..."

The fact that the elder guarding the temple read out Lin Qianfan's name first means that Lin Qianfan performed the best in this level and was ranked first in this level.

Getting first place in the previous level might have been due to luck, but getting first place again in this level is strong proof of Lin Qianfan's real talent and there is no water in it.

This made everyone's attention focus on Lin Qianfan again, including Lin Qianxue and Lin Qiansuo.

They had heard of Lin Qianyu's name before, but had never heard of Lin Qianfan. They were completely unfamiliar with him.

"A mere three spiritual roots actually won first place consecutively. It seems that Yanglongwan is not entirely useless."

"This guy who came out of nowhere is really quite interesting."

Although Lin Qiansuo fell behind Lin Qianfan in both games, excellence is excellence. He is more talented and younger, so he does not think he is worse than Lin Qianfan.

Lin Qianxue was much more indifferent. She still had plenty of time in the future to enrich herself, and grades were secondary.

Especially since she doesn't want to stay a little girl forever, she needs to wait until she reaches adulthood to build her foundation, so she has plenty of free time every day, and ranking is meaningless to her.

"Yes, he is a talented man!"

Elder Tao realized that he had underestimated the child, but he was not angry about the two meridian-protecting pills. After all, no matter how outstanding the younger generation was, they all had the surname Lin, and he was happy to see it happen.

"Those who performed averagely in this level are Lin Qianbao... Lin Liniu."

There are five middle-level players in this round.

Among them, Myna is the first in this tier, just one step away from excellence, while Uncle Niu is the last in this level, almost falling to the next tier.

Myna knew there would be this assessment and naturally tried hard to make up for it, but acquired understanding is also affected by innate understanding. Those with strong innate understanding are more efficient in accumulating acquired understanding, and Myna is obviously a person with very average innate understanding.

Although Uncle Niu is old, he has to spend more of his energy on making money and practicing. The time he has to supplement his soft power such as acquired understanding is extremely limited, so understanding has become his shortcoming.

This ranking in the same tier may seem meaningless, but in fact, the elders who build the foundation have more detailed scoring rules in their minds, and those with higher comprehensive scores will always be given preferential treatment.

"Those who have passed this level..."

"Those who are eliminated in this round..."

Among the remaining people in Yulong Fairy City, two passed and two were eliminated.

Since then, only eight people remain from the twelve strong men and horses in Yulong Fairy City, and those who have passed the examination have basically said goodbye to the final foundation-building seeds.

Faced with the same test, the two sides showed completely different performances in two consecutive levels, and the arrogant younger generations of Yulong Fairy City lowered their proud heads.

Among them, the original hostility and contempt were obviously reduced a lot, and people began to face and value the people of Yanglong Bay.

"good."

The elder guarding the temple was quite satisfied with the assessment results of this level. Four of the outstanding candidates in the previous level successfully retained their positions in this level.

These four outstanding candidates are all young people who are taking the assessment for the first time. The oldest is only 23 years old. They can be said to be full of vitality.

Both the proportion and the number are the highest in history, indicating that the overall results of training the younger generation have increased after the separation.
