Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 75 Targeted Tutoring

The main building of Dan Pavilion.

"Master, the students of Lanshitang have recently become dissatisfied, and some students even want to transfer to other halls to practice." Chai Duo reported with some embarrassment.

"Why did this happen?" Pavilion Master Quan Shuo was stunned for a moment. It wasn't uncommon for students to change their disciplines. There were always one or two like that every year. But the fact that Chai Duo had to report to him personally proved that quite a few people had changed disciplines this time. He frowned immediately and asked, "Who is Lan Shitang's teacher this year?"

"Yes...Master Chu." Chai Duo replied.

"Master Chu? Little friend Chu!" Quan Shuo was startled, and then he exploded, snorting angrily, "Humph! With a master as good as Little Friend Chu teaching a bunch of rookies like them, what are they dissatisfied with? Are these students trying to reach the sky?"

He was a genius who could refine the Six-Pattern Pill. He was so humble that he could teach a group of freshmen. It was a great honor for their ancestors, wasn't it? If it weren't for the fact that Chu had just entered the academy and was not very accustomed to the teaching, he would not have arranged for him to go to Lanshi Hall, but directly to Sujie Hall.

"Perhaps they haven't quite adapted to Master Chu's teaching methods." Chai Duo thought for a moment and continued, "In the past three months, Lan Shitang has only been to the alchemy room a dozen or so times to refine pills, and they were all the most basic first-grade pills. Some students were already second-grade alchemists when they entered the academy, so they're a little dissatisfied."

"Is there such a thing?" Quan Shuo was also a little surprised. Logically speaking, repeated practice is the key to improving alchemy skills. In the past, the teachers who taught Lan Shitang would have all the students spend every day in the alchemy room. Yet, Chu Xiaoyou only took the students there a dozen times? "Did Chu Xiaoyou ever tell you why?"

"Master Chu only said their foundation was too poor." Chai Duo was also somewhat puzzled. Logically, Lan Shi Tang's students were just getting started, and refining first- and second-level elixirs was just laying the foundation. Could there be other foundations besides this? "It's precisely because of this that rumors spread among the students that Master Chu was too secretive and not truly teaching. That's why some people wanted to switch to other paths."

"Impossible!" Quan Shuo denied it directly. "If someone can even give away the Six-Patterned Tribulation-Breaking Pill so casually, how could Young Friend Chu be the kind of person who keeps it to himself?" Besides, Elder Fan had been curious about her improved pill formula and had only casually mentioned it, but she had written down the new formula without a second thought. Even now, this formula was still being circulated within the pavilion. How could this be considered keeping it to herself? The Lan Shi Tang people were all a bunch of ignorant brats.

"Should we stop the students at Lanshitang from changing their majors?" Chai Duo asked.

"No need. Let them change if they want. Those who can change their major cultivation at will won't get very far. One day they'll realize what they've missed." Quan Shuo waved his hand. His Dan Pavilion had no shortage of disciples. After a moment's contemplation, he added, "By the way, isn't the college competition about to begin?"

"Yes, just three months later." Chai Duo nodded.

"Then go and notify them so that everyone can get ready."

"Are the students from Lan Shitang also participating?" Chai Duo was shocked. He had only been in the hospital for less than a year. Would he be a drag?

"Participate!" Quan Shuo nodded. "I will mention it to the dean, not only for our Dan Pavilion, but also for other pavilions. We have to give them a chance to perform. Then we will know the level of the students in each hall at a glance." He had a hunch that there would be surprises in this college competition.

"Yes, Master."

the other side.

"College competition?" Qiu Ci was stunned. There is such an event, similar to the school sports meeting?
"Yes, this is a tradition of Twin Star Academy." Zhen Yi nodded excitedly, "It's held every five years. I heard that those who perform well will be recognized by the elders and accepted as disciples, officially becoming disciples of each branch."

"Can everyone participate?" Qiu Ci asked.

"Yes, but in previous years, only students from Huaixu Hall and Sujie Hall participated, and most of them were in the Nascent Soul stage." Zhen Yi continued to explain, "For some reason this year, even students from Lanshi Hall can sign up." "So... you want to go?" Qiu Ci glanced at the three little ones present.

Feng Ting and the socially anxious Jing looked at each other, then looked at Zhen Yi next to them, and the three of them nodded in unison.

"Sister Xiao Ci, in previous years, the assessments were always conducted in groups of three, regardless of which sect the disciples came from. We just happen to have three of us," Zhen Yi said confidently. "Also, the rewards for the annual competition are very generous. The top 100 teams will receive an Infant Formation Pill. Feng Ting and I are both in the Golden Core Stage, and we'll need it when we reach Infant Formation."

"Oh." Qiu Ci took out two bottles and handed them over. "Are you talking about this?"

"Jie...Jieying Pill!" Zhen Yi looked at the bottle in his hand in disbelief. It was a full bottle. "Sister Xiaoci, when did you prepare it?"

"I was just strolling into the woods outside the city a few days ago, and happened to pick some spiritual plants, so I refined a few furnaces." I was also preparing lessons at the same time.

Zhen Yi: “…”

Feng Ting: “…”

Can this be practiced at the same time?

Why do I suddenly feel that competitions are meaningless?

"Sister Xiao Ci is so nice!" Feng Ting was touched. She turned around, hugged her and started rubbing her as usual. She knew that Sister Xiao Ci was the best to her and had prepared everything for her.

"Okay, okay." Qiu Ci touched her head, then looked at the socially anxious Jing who had been silent, and added, "The materials for your Yuanshen Pill are a bit complicated, so we'll have to wait for a while." Don't be envious.

"..." Socially anxious Jing blushed. "No, I don't have it, and I don't really want it!" He was still far from the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

"It would be a good idea to participate in the competition." Qiu Ci forced the topic back, looked at them seriously and said, "Your cultivation has improved too quickly, but you have too little practical experience. It's not bad to go and see what's going on, but safety is still the priority, and don't be blindly aggressive." After all, there are so many people in the Yuanying stage among the participants.

"We know, Sister Xiaoci." The three of them nodded.

The three of them were set to participate in the competition. Qiu Ci had originally thought that only Zhen Yi and the others had this idea, but the next day during class, he discovered that many students at Lan Shi Tang were also interested in participating after learning that they could participate.

Some even found their teams early on. Like the three little ones, most of them teamed up with disciples from other pavilions.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Qiu Ci learned about the content of previous years' competitions and simply changed the original schedule. He began targeted tutoring for this competition and personally took them to the alchemy room to refine common elixirs. Even the test papers tended to focus on practical knowledge.

The students who were delighted to receive a dozen new test papers: "..."

Thus, the students of Lan Shi Tang spent three months in such dire straits, and finally the day of the competition arrived.
