My Perfect Immortal Cultivation Life

The introductory trial is similar to the initial assessment at the start of the semester; its purpose is to understand the situation of these disciples.

The sect will present several difficult questions, involving the Three Thousand Immortal Scriptures and the words and deeds of sages and disciples.

Finally, the sect's top-grade magic artifacts will review the disciples' performance and determine their level. They will be judged as geniuses, mediocre, or simply hopeless underachievers. A suitable first-stage cultivation technique will then be assigned to each disciple.

Li Yu pondered for a moment: "The cultivation techniques are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow."

If I eventually obtain a Heaven-level cultivation technique, everyone will inevitably notice. It will then be very difficult to cultivate discreetly and quietly afterward. This doesn't fit my moderate plan. After all, only a saintly figure like Qin Shufan can obtain a Heaven-level cultivation technique upon entering the sect.

Those who can obtain Earth-level cultivation techniques are still extremely rare.

Yellow-level cultivation techniques seem incredibly useless. What era are we living in that we're still using the "useless" style?

All things considered, a mediocre rating would be best for me, ideally a low-grade or mid-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique.

Li Yu didn't actually have much need for cultivation techniques.

Although the quality of a cultivation technique is closely related to one's combat strength, Li Yu has plenty of ways to obtain advanced techniques if he really wants to.

He remembered there were several first-level secret realms outside, whose rewards were Heaven-level or Earth-level cultivation techniques. He could simply take a stroll through one of those realms in his spare time and obtain the technique.

At this moment, from the depths of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws, an old man dressed in a dark Taoist robe walked out. The old man's skin was slightly dark, and although the Taoist robe was obviously a precious magical artifact, it lacked some of the otherworldly aura and had more of a practical feel.

"Silence." The old man's stern gaze swept over the disciples present.

The previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

The disciples were mostly around fifteen or sixteen years old, and were already feeling uneasy as they entered the immortal sect for the first time. After being reprimanded by the elder, none of them dared to speak again, and now they looked at the elder with a mixture of awe and curiosity.

"I am Zhao Shushi from Tiangong Peak of the Daoist sect, with the Daoist name Duanfeng Zhenren. Today, I will conduct the introductory trial for you."

"There is a difference between immortals and mortals; you have not yet shed your worldly cloak. But remember, once you step through the gate of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws, you embark on the fiercely competitive path of cultivation. Along this journey, you must be diligent and hardworking, and you cannot slacken your efforts halfway..."

Elder Zhao Shushi was giving instructions to the newly initiated disciples, just like a headmaster in school.

Li Yu noticed that the elder's hands had a thick layer of calluses, and his hands were emitting a faint red light, looking like the color of an iron furnace after it has been heated.

"Judging from his appearance, he seems to be an elder in the art of weapon crafting. I just don't know what level he's at."

When Li Yu played the game in his previous life, he did not choose the Dao Yi Sect.

He only recognized some of the more famous characters, such as the fallen saintess Qin Shufan.

After Zhao Shushi finished his instructions, the registered disciples officially began their entrance examination.

Li Yu sat in the examination hall, holding a calligraphy brush, staring at the characters on the exam paper, feeling utterly overwhelmed. It reminded him of the painful times he spent in school in his previous life.

As a true time traveler, Li Yu naturally couldn't answer a single question.

He stole a glance at the other disciples beside him. Sitting to Li Yu's left was a young girl with red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes. She had noticed Li Yu's gaze.

She shook her head slightly, made a bitter face, indicating that she couldn't do these questions either.

Li Yu smiled gently.

As luck would have it, the person sitting to Li Yu's right was the very same genius who had just caused a sensation by detecting the dazzling azure light and who was expected to condense his Dao Heart in the future.

This person also noticed that Li Yu was sizing him up.

Looking at the spotless exam paper on Li Yu's desk, which was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, he thought he understood what Li Yu wanted to do. He subtly moved the paper to the other side of the desk and raised his hand to block Li Yu's view.

Li Yu was taken aback, then realized that the man had misunderstood and thought that he wanted to copy his exam paper.

He shook his head slightly in his heart; he didn't want to get high scores.

However, on the other hand, if Li Yu wanted to completely "become just another ordinary person," submitting a blank exam paper was not an option.

Anyone who has cultivated immortality knows that both the most talented disciples and the least talented disciples attract a lot of attention.

"I must try my best to get a mediocre score... that's what makes me a decent disciple."

Based on my past life's experience, for these subjective humanities questions, as long as you diligently fill out the paper, you'll at least get a point for effort.

Li Yu looked at the questions on the exam paper.

"According to records, Hongjun preached and taught outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, attracting countless powerful beings to gather outside the Zixiao Palace. Please write down the main points of Hongjun's three sermons and the relevant annotations by his later disciples..."

"What do the six saintly positions represent...?"

……

Li Yu felt a chill run down his spine. Even if he were given a chance to scribble something down, he wouldn't know where to begin. At best, he could just copy the questions a few more times to fill the exam paper.

Fortunately, Li Yu still had one piece of equipment.

Anyway, let's give it a try first.

[The Exquisite Dao Heart has been awakened]

Li Yu activated the effects of the Exquisite Dao Heart on the panel, and just like last time, he felt countless pieces of information flooding into his brain. However, this time he didn't feel dizzy.

After activating the Linglong Dao Heart and looking down at the question again, I instantly felt different.

"The exquisite Dao Heart will generate the most reasonable answer based on my memory."

Although he had never read the so-called Three Thousand Immortal Classics, fortunately, Li Yu was well-read in his previous life, having read countless online novels.

The Exquisite Dao Heart truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most difficult auxiliary equipment to obtain; it actually generated a seemingly logical answer based on Li Yu's miscellaneous memories.

Li Yu did not hesitate and began to write.

In his own judgment, these answers were far from the correct ones.

But that's enough. After all, Li Yu doesn't care about high scores; he just wants to be a hardworking, ordinary, and mediocre disciple.

Li Yu was engrossed in writing.

But the girl to his left felt something was different.

The girl scratched her head: "Why do I feel like my brain is getting smarter?"

My head is so itchy, I need to develop my brain...

Half an hour later.

After the exam ended, Li Yu handed in his paper right before the deadline.

Thanks to his years of calligraphy practice in his previous life, his handwriting was quite good. When he handed in his paper, looking at the densely packed, neat and elegant answers, Zhao Shushi, who had been frowning the whole time, gave Li Yu a rare encouraging and appreciative look.

Li Yu respectfully returned the greeting with his hands clasped, perfectly portraying the image of an ordinary and mediocre disciple.

All that remains is to wait for the sect's top-grade magic weapon to review the exam papers.

The other disciples waited anxiously for the final results, hoping for a better score.

Li Yu, on the other hand, hoped that his grades would neither be too good nor too bad.

Before long, the superior-grade magic artifact had finished grading all the exam papers and completed the ranking of the registered disciples.
