Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 73 Teaching Methods

"Chu... Teacher Chu." Finally, someone couldn't help but weakly raised their hand, "Should we...should we finish all these questions?"

"Of course." Qiu Ci nodded. Isn't that what you are asked to do when distributing the papers?

"If I don't get the answer right..."

"It's okay. If you got it wrong, it's wrong. It's just a basic test." Qiu Ci smiled. Seeing everyone breathe a sigh of relief, he continued, "This paper has a full score of 100. If you can get 60 points, you'll pass. In other words, you only need to get 60% of the questions right. I'll rank all of you then."

The students who couldn’t understand most of the questions: “…” 60%, can I give you the head?

"If we rank last, will Master Chu kick us out of the academy?" someone asked cautiously.

"How can it be so strict?" Qiu Ci was startled, realizing they had misunderstood. He quickly explained, "Don't panic. It's just a small test to assess your level of alchemy. The ranking doesn't mean anything. Just answer the questions calmly."

The students present finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the rankings will be posted on the wall," she added.

Everyone: "..."

Wouldn’t that still lead to social failure?
"Master Chu." A disciple suddenly had an idea and said, "But we didn't bring any writing materials today. How about..." next time.

Sure enough, everyone's eyes lit up. Yes, how can we answer without writing?
"That's indeed a problem." Qiu Ci thought for a moment, then pulled out a set of brushes and ink from his storage bag. While grinding the ink, he said, "How about this? If you don't have any, you can borrow some ink from me and use magic to write."

Everyone: "..."

It turns out that they not only have to take an exam on alchemy, but also on the control of magic.

The classroom suddenly fell silent, and no one mentioned the lack of pens and ink. Everyone lowered their heads to look at the papers in their hands. It's true that human potential is limitless. Knowing they couldn't escape the exam, everyone began digging into their storage bags. Some broke off branches from nowhere to use as pens, some used cinnabar used for drawing talismans as ink, some squeezed out green juice from plants, and even...

Wait, the guy who cut his wrist with a knife was going too far!

I asked you to answer questions, not to hurt yourself.

Thus, Lan Shitang's first exam started so "smoothly". The whole classroom was filled with gloom. Only someone on the right was writing furiously, his cat-like eyes flashing with wisdom.

Hey, it seems Sister Xiaoci has talked about this question before!

Ah, this one seems very simple too.

Yeah, he has also grown this spiritual plant!
……

--------

In the end, Qiu Ci did not announce all the results of the baseline test, but only posted the names of the top three on the wall as a commendation. Among them was Zhen Yi. After all, he had taught a lot in Xuantian Sect before, so he was very familiar with these questions.

After a round of exams, Qiu Ci also had a general understanding of the situation of these students. Although some people claimed that they could refine second-grade elixirs, their basic knowledge was generally very weak. It was considered good enough that they could recognize all the spiritual plants, but they knew nothing about the composition, habits, characteristics, or even the growth cycle and environment of the spiritual plants, not to mention the knowledge about subsequent cultivation and improvement.

Everyone's foundation was too poor. If they wanted to make long-term progress in the art of alchemy, this shortcoming had to be made up. So in the second class, she gave out ten sets of papers and gave each person a copy of the "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants" that was retrieved from the system, requiring everyone to read it through and memorize it.

The students who returned with a pile of papers said: "..." Is cultivation so hard? Of course, in addition to attending classes these days, she also took time to visit the three little ones. Zhen Yi could be seen in every class. Jing Hong chose to enter the Sword Pavilion to major in swordsmanship. He was a sword cultivator in Xuantian Sect, so it was normal for him to major in this.

Surprisingly, Feng Ting chose a magic cultivator. She had originally thought that with her personality, she would choose a relatively safe auxiliary profession like a talisman cultivator or a formation cultivator. Unexpectedly, she chose the more powerful magic cultivator. Thinking carefully about the instantaneous spells she cast one after another during her rampage in the training tower, perhaps becoming a magic cultivator was a good choice.

Qiu Ci gave them some pointers on their cultivation, and promised to visit them often. He also left some pills and then left.

The teaching tasks at the academy were too easy, so Qiu Ci spent the rest of his time wandering around Wan'an City. In a few months, he had visited the area within a radius of 100 miles.

[Ding! Search failed, no base signal found.]

The sound of the system failing again came to my ears.

That's right, she was looking for the location of the base. The destination located by the system was within a hundred miles of Wan'an City, but she had walked around the area for several months and almost turned the entire Wan'an City upside down, but there was no clue at all.

So the only possibility is that the base is in the Twin Star Academy.

This was the result she least wanted to see. Not to mention that the academy was no smaller than Wan'an City, it was also the most dangerous. Who knew where the base was? If it was in some forbidden area, how could she, a primary school student, find it?
According to what she had learned in the past few months, there were eight powerful beings in the Fusion Stage in the academy, the heads of the seven pavilions in the academy were all in the Fusion Stage, and the dean was at the peak of the Mahayana Stage. These were only the ones on the surface, and who knew how many were hiding in secret, not to mention those in the Tribulation Stage. For her, a spirit incarnation, to search the entire academy under the noses of so many people was almost seeking death.

She didn't even dare to release the system. Although it was a product of Blue Star and ordinary people couldn't see it at all, what if?
[Master, are you still searching? ]

"Oh, forget it, let's go back to the college." She had to go to class tomorrow. She turned around and was about to go back, but suddenly she heard a conversation coming from below, which sounded familiar.

"It should be here. Look, there is the Red Nether Grass here. The Danyan Sand must be nearby." A woman in a green college uniform said in surprise.

"Then let's look for it quickly. Our spirit-calling talisman is just missing this Danyan sand." Another man said happily.

Qiu Ci Yu Jian paused and took a closer look before recognizing that these two people seemed to be students from his class. How could they be in such a remote place? This forest is not safe.

"Senior Brother Yang, do we...really want to switch to practicing talismans?" the woman suddenly asked hesitantly.

"What else can we do if we don't change our cultivation?" the man said angrily. "Don't you see what that Chu girl has taught us? She makes us memorize those spiritual plants and herbs every day and do those stupid tests. She doesn't even allow us to practice alchemy. What can we learn at this rate? I don't think she wants to teach us at all."

"But Master Chu doesn't seem to be keeping secrets. She usually answers questions that everyone has." The woman hesitated.

"That's just perfunctory." The man said even more angrily, "Which alchemist would teach his disciples like her? Not only does she not teach them the techniques of alchemy, but she also makes them memorize some inexplicable things and raise some incomprehensible questions. Doesn't this delay our path?"

"But……"

"No, buts! I fought so hard to get this opportunity to renovate. As long as we can find this Danyan sand and draw the spirit-attracting talisman, we can go to the Talisman Pavilion to listen to the teachings next time." The man said with a look of dissatisfaction, "If you don't go, there are plenty of people who will."

“…” The woman was silent.

"I'm telling you, many people in Lan Shi Tang are dissatisfied with the woman surnamed Chu. Some have even complained to the Pavilion Master, saying she's unfit to be a teacher. Everyone is thinking of retreating and changing their ways. Don't be foolish."

"ok, I get it."

Chu Qiuci, who was being teased in front of him, said: "..."

No, I just want to improve your poor foundation first. Is the teaching method so bad?
