I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 78 Exam (asking for monthly ticket)

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the year-end written examination for the outer disciples of the Cang Ling Sect is held at the martial arts training grounds of each peak. Disciples take the examination on the peak where they live. Before the examination, many disciples move to less crowded peaks, just like immigrants taking the college entrance examination.

In the martial arts arena, each person takes a position and you are not allowed to peek at others.

The top fifty on each peak are considered to have passed, and the top ten will receive contribution points and spirit stones as rewards.

After that, the victory rate and number of matches in the arena will be calculated based on the ranking. By the time of taking the inner door assessment, the total number of people will not exceed five hundred.

Among these five hundred people, only ten can finally pass and become inner disciples.

The basic rewards for ten people are 3,000 contribution points, a foundation-building pill, a yellow-level demon spirit and a yellow-grade martial arts technique.

There are additional rewards based on ranking, which vary from year to year.

If you are lucky and perform well during the assessment, you will be noticed by the Jindan Zhenren in the sect and accepted as a disciple, and directly become a personal disciple with better treatment and benefits than the inner disciples.

If the master is generous and capable enough, it is not impossible to obtain Xuan-level demon spirits and Xuan-grade skills.

On the Lingbo Mountain martial arts field, the light and shadow formations were arranged neatly like a golden bell. A gray-haired mouse wearing a vest with the word "patrol" in its name and holding a steel fork in its hand walked majestically between the rows and columns, inspecting the examination room and maintaining order.

Anyone or any demon who dares to violate the examination rules will be immediately kicked out by them.

Don't underestimate them because they are small. They can summon the guardian vines. It is better to be speared out than to be hung up and spanked in public.

Jiang Yi sat in his own formation, yawning with his hands in his pockets, his head nodding with sleepiness. Snow was falling outside, but the formation felt like it had floor heating on, so hot that it made him sleepy, and laziness kept pouring in.

At the low table in front of her was Hua Gu, with her arms outstretched, holding a brush and writing furiously.

Hongli also lay beside the low table, watching Huagu write the answers.

grumble!
Hongli stretched out her claws, indicating that the title was wrong. In ancient times, there were four major fox races: the Qingqiu clan, the Tushan clan, the Chunhu clan, and the Yousu clan, all ruled by the nine-tailed celestial fox.

Huh? Hua Gu scratched her head.

"Jiji!" Hongli slammed the table.

Hua Gu erased the original answer and rewrote it according to Hong Li's instructions. Although it was a kindergarten font, it was still clearly legible.

Next question: At what stage of cultivation does a demonic spirit's 'bloodline reversion' occur? What are the risks? What are the opportunities?
Hua Gu bit the brush and looked at Hong Li. A hint of ink spread in the center of the white cloud. Hong Li didn't look at Hua Gu, but tilted her head and scratched her chin.

Jiang Yi chuckled softly, shook his head, and said slowly, "It's difficult to clearly determine a demon spirit's ancestral bloodline using only the Sky Eye Technique and the Demon Spirit Appraisal. Only when the demon spirit transforms and undergoes the thunder tribulation will the celestial phenomenon of atavism appear, proving that the demon spirit has the bloodline of an ancient great demon. Under normal circumstances, demon spirits naturally transform when they form a pill, and undergo the thunder tribulation of the pill formation and transformation together. However, there are certain special cases where demon spirits use external objects to force their transformation. Unless a high-level cultivator helps, if they transform prematurely, they will undoubtedly die during the tribulation."

"At this time, the demon spirit can gain blood inheritance and blood baptism from the atavism phenomenon, greatly improving its strength. The subsequent direction of cultivation will no longer be a problem. If its master lacks spiritual awareness, it is easy to suffer backlash and cause the demon spirit to lose control. At the very least, it will break the contract, and at worst, it will backfire and devour the soul. Some means must be prepared in advance to suppress it. Also, we must guard against the demon spirit's atavism phenomenon, which may attract the covetousness of other cultivators."

Hua Gu quickly wrote down the answer. Hong Li's chin stopped itching and she continued to lie beside her and read.

Jiang Yi yawned, "You don't need to memorize these things specifically, just remember them."

Hua Gu: Nod vigorously.

Hongli: (_`)? ? ?

Jiang Yi glanced through this set of test questions. The questions were from five aspects: basic theory, demon spirit cultivation, practical combat response, ethics and morality, and several deductions, with five questions in each part.

The last two parts are more difficult, and the other Hua Gu should be able to answer them. She can indeed use soul resonance to let Hua Gu know the answers directly, but she is too lazy to do so.

This kind of exam made Jiang Yi a little confused. The Xuanying Sword Sect did not have written exams, only martial arts exams.

After all, sword cultivators prioritize martial power above all else. They will do it with their eyes open and with their eyes closed. No matter who is on the other side, they will just do it. If they don’t have time to think, they can just stab the opponent a few more times with their swords.

The more elegant way of saying it is, no matter how many attacks I make, I can break them with one sword.

Unlike now, 'encountering a 'fox demon' that is good at illusions, and a beastmaster controlling a 'blue-eyed monkey', how should he respond?'

Hua Gu and Hong Li started arguing again. From what Hong Li said, it seemed like it was impossible for her to be restrained by the Blue-Eyed Monkey. She wanted to make the Blue-Eyed Monkey's face as red as her butt!

In other formations around, several cultivators were scratching their heads and crying because the test questions were too difficult. Their own demon spirits were of no help at all, and they were even crying out for food when it was time to eat.

Turning around, she found that it was Lan Yao who was answering the questions on Jiang Yi's side. She hugged the little fox and rubbed it, and was stunned and envious.

Jiang Yi is not an isolated case. There are also several monks who raise monkey-like demon spirits and let the demon spirits write for them.

Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang were not in Jiang Yi's sight. She glanced around and saw the backs of Zhao Cangyun and Shang Shixu, who were not far away.

Zhao Cangyun and Shang Shixu's postures and arm movements were identical, like they were the same person. Hmm... quite interesting. Li Qingxian, who lived in the same courtyard, had already moved out and wasn't here at the moment. Jiang Yi didn't know many people in Lingbo Mountain, so out of boredom, he took stock of his current financial situation.

She had spent more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones to train Hongli to refine pills, including the second-grade alchemy furnace, demon seeds and spiritual medicines.

Hongli produced a total of three bottles of low-grade Spiritual Nourishing Pills and sold them for ninety low-grade spirit stones.

Hongli ate a bottle of medium-grade spiritual nourishing elixir and earned nothing.

Hongli ate a top-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pill and earned nothing.

Wood produces fire, and Hongli can also eat the wood-type Soul-Nourishing Pill. She was careless. She should have replaced Hongli with a water-type monster species and refined the water-type Soul-Nourishing Pill.

Yesterday she sold the low-grade Soul-Feeding Pill to the Deacon Hall counter, and then identified the Green Scale Poison Silk Soft Armor and the four demon seeds on her body that had not been identified.

The poison on the Green Scale Poison Silk Soft Armor will cause the skin of the poisoned area to grow hard armor with scaly patterns, and the flesh and blood inside will melt quickly. If the poison is not detoxified quickly, it will eventually turn into a flesh and blood jelly wrapped in hard armor.

This is how the green-scaled poisonous spider hunts in nature. After corroding its prey, it takes a deep breath and feels satisfied.

There are four unidentified monster species in hand, two gold, one wood and one fire. Among the fire monster species, there is a skilled level 'Fire Bomb' and an entry-level intermediate spell 'Flame Bomb'.

When Jiang Yi fought Jiang Tianzong before, his Fire Leopard could use the "Fire Bomb", which is an advanced version of the Fire Bomb. It explodes when it touches an object, and the rain of fire splashes for a distance of ten feet and continues to burn. It also emits poisonous smoke from the earth and fire that interferes with vision and consciousness, and also chokes people. You can teach it to Hong Li.

Wood-type monsters come from vine monsters, and contain the "whip," "bloodsuck," and "thorn prison" abilities that all vines possess, though the thorn prison is relatively rare.

Among the two gold-type monster species, in addition to the two most common low-level spells, "Golden Blade" and "Golden Arrow", there are two entry-level mid-level spells.

Yan Hong's gold-attributed demon spirit's "Refraction and Reflection" is a very rare detection spell.

It can refract sunlight in strong sunlight and reflect the fluctuations of metallic objects within a radius of three miles. Any magic tools, ores, formations, etc. containing metallic aura can be detected.

This is also why Han Tao must bring Yan Hong with him when he goes to look for the beast spirit and fire spirit, otherwise Han Tao alone will not be able to find such a deep underground ice cave.

Another mid-level spell among the gold-attributed monster species is "Golden Light Shadow", which is somewhat similar to Jiang Tianzong's Fire Leopard's "Flame Shadow".

Flame Shadow is a low-level spell that allows the Fire Leopard to create two shadows identical to itself, both of which are illusory.

The Golden Light Shadow Splitting is more advanced. It can split two shadows at will to serve as interference, and the user can move instantly with the help of the split shadows.

What the shadow looks like depends on the spirit's own creativity.

At present, she only has eighty-eight low-grade spirit stones on her. In the future, she will have to live frugally and start to make a living by selling Hongli's shit.

You know what, Hongli's shit has been identified as an excellent fire fertilizer. A pound of other fire monster shit is only three low-grade spirit stones, but a pound of Hongli's shit is priced at a high price of thirty low-grade spirit stones.

The refining of Chengling Pill is very difficult, and Hongli has not succeeded yet, otherwise she could easily make back her investment.

The demon seed of the Green Scale Poisonous Spider in her hand contained two spells: poisonous fangs and poisonous webs.

That demon seed is worth eighty low-grade spirit stones, but if it is refined into a Chengling Pill and the poison net spell is retained, its value can reach four hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Therefore, other kinds of monsters must also be refined into Chengling Pills before being sold.

Chengling Pills are divided into different grades. Low-grade Chengling Pills can only retain one spell, medium-grade ones can retain two, and so on. The real top-grade Chengling Pills can only retain four spells from the monster species at most, and the results are random.

The demon species she made inert retained all her magic spells, and could inherit them all if eaten.

In fact, this also has disadvantages. After the test, let Hongli try it and see if she can choose the spells she wants to keep when absorbing and filter out useless low-level spells.

Because wild monsters have a high level of cultivation, they must have mastered many spells, especially the monsters in the ancient secret realm, which are born at the yellow level and master at least two spells.

In addition to the spirit stones, she has 2810 contribution points for her continued top spot on the gold list in November, and currently has contribution points.

She also has two pieces of first-grade spiritual wood, which she holds every night when she sleeps.

Huagu's spiritual spring water cannot be replenished for the time being. Hongli has to eat a lot of animal meat every day. It can either go hunting by itself or eat fasting pills.

After such a careful calculation, Jiang Yi wiped his face.

"It seems I have no choice but to fight for first place in the Lingbo Mountain written exam. That's 500 contribution points and 500 low-grade spirit stones. Hua Gu, bring me the test paper. I'll see if you made any mistakes."
