Fairy, why bother with me? I am really a yellow-haired villain.

Su Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly: "This is what we were taught in school before...I answered like this."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand either, she just answered according to what she was taught in class.

After hearing this, Mu Jixue fell into a long silence. Although it felt a little strange, she also felt that it made sense.

She was slept with by Yun Zhonghe and Lin Zhongyu.

The heart of Tao is pure, and one practices for the sake of practicing. This is indeed a rare kind of purity, a purity that comes from living in the present moment.

How many people originally had ambitious goals. However, as time goes by and their knowledge grows, their original intentions will definitely change to some extent. If they stick to their original intentions, it may not be a good thing.

On the contrary, simpler goals are good.

In addition, Mu Jixue also confirmed one thing from this incident, that is, these three people are both good and bad.

Everyone said that the questions in this written test were very difficult. I claimed that I couldn’t answer any of them, but when the results were announced, I still got 100 points!

She still firmly believes that everyone is a poor student.

What a score assassin.

How despicable!

Just as Mu Jixue was secretly complaining in her heart, a cold and frosty figure suddenly appeared beside the four of them, like a sudden gust of cold wind, making people shiver.

"Master...Master?!"

Mu Jixue's voice trembled instantly, as if she had seen something terrible, and even her speech became stammering.

That’s right, the person who came was Zhenren Youyue, and her face was terribly gloomy.

How could her face not look ugly?

When he learned that his own disciple had scored a zero on the written test, Ling Hua Zhenren seized the opportunity to mock him: "Hahahaha, Bai Zhen, this is your disciple? He only scored a zero?"

Being laughed at by the guy whom he had always looked down upon, he was speechless. Master Youyue had never been so angry or humiliated before!

Looking at the top of the ranking list, Yun Zhonghe's name is clearly visible, and he is the only one with full marks.

This made Master Youyue feel even more uncomfortable. What a good child, such an excellent child. Looking at her own disciple, she was almost mad with anger.

"Master, Master, why are you here? Don't you have many guests to entertain?" Mu Jixue tried to change the subject to ease the awkward and tense atmosphere.

However, Master Youyue narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "After doing so badly on the exam, how can I still have the nerve to stay here?"

When Mu Jixue saw her master's murderous look, she instinctively felt fear, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wanted to escape.

But where could she escape to? Under the stern gaze of Youyue Zhenren, she felt as if she were frozen in place, with no possibility of escaping.

Mu Jixue's heart was filled with helplessness and panic. She knew that she had caused a big disaster this time, and her master's anger was not so easy to bear.

In desperation, Mu Jixue looked at Yun Zhonghe beside her for help, looking pitiful.

Yun Zhonghe, save me~~~

Seeing this, Yun Zhonghe felt ashamed.

Don’t act cute and ask me for help when you encounter any trouble. I’m not your man.

Besides, logically speaking, Master Youyue is also one of the hidden heroines. How can you win her heart in the future if you act like this?

However, having said that, Yun Zhonghe looked at Mu Jixue's helpless eyes, and inexplicably felt that "it's not bad not to accept it."

If Mu Jixue didn't have any emotional entanglements with any of the female protagonists... could I...

Yun Zhonghe shook his head and didn't want to think about it now.

He still decided to help Mu Jixue. After all...it was because he liked her.

Then, Yun Zhonghe stood up and said to Master Youyue, "Elder, the truth is, we discussed it in advance and decided to give Mu Jixue a zero. After all, in this kind of exam, even if you blindly guess, you will always get one or two correct answers. Only if you know the answer can you accurately avoid the correct answer."

Yun Zhonghe's mind was quick and he quickly made up a seemingly reasonable excuse.

Mu Jixue was very grateful, but then she thought again, it felt like Yun Zhonghe was calling her stupid...

Forget it, as long as I can avoid the master's punishment, nothing else matters!

Zhenren Youyue did not believe Yun Zhonghe's explanation immediately. Her brows were still furrowed, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Yun Zhonghe's words did make sense.

No matter how dumb a person is, it is unlikely that he would get zero points in the exam. My apprentice is quite smart and should not be that stupid.

Mu Jixue felt very uncomfortable: "..."

Stop cursing, stop cursing, it would be really stupid if you continue to curse.

"But why do you want to do this?" Master Youyue couldn't help but ask.

Yun Zhonghe calmly explained, "The results of this written test will definitely be related to the competition. We're doing this to reduce the attention on our team and avoid becoming the primary target of too many teams during the competition."

After all, before this, Mu Jixue was also quite famous. After all, she was the direct disciple of Zhenren Youyue. She might very well become the target of elimination by many people.

Now that Mu Jixue has acted stupid, perhaps this will reduce some people's attention and make them think that Mu Jixue is nothing special.

After hearing Yun Zhonghe's explanation, Zhenren Youyue's expression finally improved a little. She nodded slightly, as if approving of Yun Zhonghe's strategy.

"Is that so?" Master Youyue looked at Mu Jixue again.

Mu Jixue's heart skipped a beat: "Yes, that's right!"

"However, I still cannot accept that you would compromise your dignity to achieve this goal." Master Youyue frowned. "So, Xue'er, listen carefully. If you can't win a good ranking in this sect competition and wash away this shame, you will be punished. A disciple of Master Youyue will never be looked down upon."

When Mu Jixue heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She looked at her master pitifully: "Master...QAQ!!!"

Master Youyue said with a stern face, "Alright, stop standing here and go get ready. Perform well in the competition. I'm going back now."

Mu Jixue escaped the disaster.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already afternoon. The Xuantian Sect Competition officially begins!

With the sound of gongs and drums, the content of the competition was finally announced - to find spiritual ginseng (also known as magical radish) in the secret realm.

The rules are very simple and clear. Within the specified time, the amount of spiritual parameters collected by each team will determine their ranking.

If a disciple encounters fatal danger in the secret realm and is unable to protect himself, the secret realm will automatically transfer the disciple out of the secret realm, and he will be eliminated.

This rule was thought up by Dan Yifeng.

The work of digging radishes is boring. In previous years, when the spiritual ginseng matured, the sect always asked the disciples to dig them. Not only did they have to pay them, but they also had to prevent them from hiding some of the radishes.

This time, Danyi Peak directly turned this paid task into a free trial, and it was also linked to the ranking in the sect competition. In this way, the disciples would definitely dig hard, and there was no need to worry about lack of motivation or hoarding.

One big competition creates two waves of free labor.

Capitalists would cry when they saw it.

Although Xuantian Sect, as a major sect of immortal cultivation, is naturally not short of money, it still needs to save where it is necessary.

The viewing area was already packed with people, with every seat occupied.

Monks from all over the five continents were either standing or sitting, waiting intently for the competition to officially begin.

In this bustling crowd, a petite golden figure is particularly eye-catching. Its animal ears and tail sway gently with its movements, which is very cute.

That was Hu Shang. She was pushing a carefully made cart and moving flexibly among the crowd.

The cart is filled with a variety of snacks, including melon seeds, candied fruits, dried fruits, etc., exuding an enticing aroma.

"Selling sunflower seeds~ How can you enjoy the fun without some sunflower seeds? Eat some sunflower seeds, look at the beauties, look at the handsome guys, only five spirit stones a bag, limited quantity, sell out while supplies last, hurry up and grab some... Wow~~~"

Just like when she was in the Wandao Divine Tower, the little fox Hu Shang started her favorite stall business again.

Although she is a fox princess and has no shortage of money, she has a special liking for this kind of small business.

Many of the representatives who came from all over the world did not prepare these snacks, so they were attracted by Hu Shang's hawking voice and gathered around.

However, when asked about the price, many people were shocked.

"A bag of five spirit stones? Are your melon seeds made of gold or silver?"

"I love shopping, don't stop me from doing business!"

Xiao Hu's hawking attracted the attention of many important people.

Are you crazy? Doing business on Xuantian Sect’s territory?

Sect Master Qin also noticed it, but didn't say much. He smiled bitterly and pretended not to see it.

With Xiao Hu's operation, the viewing area gradually became like a tea party.

It became lively and bustling.

But this is what makes it fun! Sitting there watching the game is so boring! I definitely need to prepare some sunflower seeds and tea, and chat while watching the game. That's what makes it so comfortable and interesting.

I have to admit that this little girl, Xiao Hu, is really an expert in business.

However, her business goes far beyond this.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, do you want to place a bet? Guess who will win in the end? Don't worry, it's just a small bet for fun, and the upper limit of the bet is only one hundred spirit stones."

Wow, this is just the beginning of a gambling game!

Although Xiao Hu is cute, his interests are really special.

However, those who can come here to watch the game are not ordinary people. One hundred spirit stones are not a lot of money for them.

Suddenly, some people's interest was piqued by Xiao Hu.

"Little Fox, what are the odds?"

"Hey, sir, please look over here."

After saying that, Hu Shang pulled Miss Hu Chou up from behind him. He saw that Miss Hu Chou had a sign hanging around her neck, with the odds of many teams densely written on it.

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this. No way? Even a powerful being in the Spiritualization Stage had fallen to working for a casino?

Miss Hu Chou felt very frustrated, but helpless. She could only comfort herself silently in her heart, but tried hard to force a smile on her face and cooperate with Xiao Hu to solicit business.

Working, earning some spirit stones is not bad... not bad...

huh huh...

Chapter 397 Trial Secret Realm

Sure enough, the results of the written test are still related to the competition.

The Trial Secret Realm is divided into four layers, and the number and density of spiritual ginseng in each layer also show distinct differences in levels.

The first level is full of high-quality spiritual ginseng, and it is the adventure destination that countless teams dream of.

As the number of layers decreases, the amount of spiritual ginseng becomes increasingly scarce and the quality also declines.

The score of the written test became the key to determining the team's initial position.

If the team's average score can cross the 90th level, it means they will be directly teleported to the first level and enjoy the most abundant resources;

Teams with an average score of 80 or more but less than 90 will be teleported to the second level;

Teams with an average score of 70 or more but less than 80 will be teleported to the third level;

Teams with scores below 70 can only be assigned to the fourth floor where resources are the most scarce.

Because Mu Jixue scored zero, even though Yun Zhonghe, Lin Zhongyu and Su Xiaoxiao scored very high, their average score was still only 71 points, so they could only be teleported to the third level.

Of course, this initial position allocation does not determine everything. There are teleportation arrays between each level, providing all teams with the opportunity to cross levels. Even if a team initially falls into the fourth level, as long as they have enough strength and wisdom, they can gradually climb up to the first level with the richest resources.

But this road is by no means smooth, and the team needs to invest a lot of time and energy. More importantly, they will inevitably encounter other equally ambitious teams along the way, so you can imagine how fierce the competition will be.

Therefore, we cannot simply equate the level of one's position with the success of the trial. Although the higher levels have abundant resources, they are also accompanied by high risks. Although the lower levels have poor resources, they may also have less competition.

All I can say is that each has its pros and cons.

"Oh, it's so lively! I can even smell the aroma of spirit wine coming from the main peak~"

Yun Zhonghe was a little nervous. At this moment, he and his teammates were standing in front of the teleportation array leading to the secret realm. At this moment, Senior Xingbu's voice broke his nervousness.

Faced with such a grand scene, Senior Xingbu couldn't suppress his curiosity and excitement, and quietly poked his head out of the Rubik's Cube.

Seeing this, Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that she would be discovered.

Today, Xuantian Sect has gathered many powerful people in the God Transformation Stage, each of whom possesses powerful magical powers. It is said that the Immortal Alliance has also sent representatives to watch the ceremony at noon. It can be said that all the wise men have gathered.

Who knows if there are some hidden secret techniques that can discover the existence of divination?
