Chapter 19 The Eve of the Examination

Chapter 19 the eve of the examination
Although this first requirement is a mandatory requirement, it is not difficult to achieve, even the least talented five spirit root, as long as diligent cultivation, after a year’s time, will be able to reach the first level of qi cultivation.

Xu Chuniang knew in her heart that the sect had set the threshold at the first level of Qi cultivation, clearly to clear out those with poor talent who still refused to cultivate hard.

As for the spells, one only needed to successfully cast any one of them in the test to pass. If the first spell fails, one can still try again, which can be said to be very humane.

The new disciple assessment was jointly handled by all the stewards of the outer sect, and took the form of an open assessment, under the watchful eyes of these stewards, no one could fake it.

Xu Chuniang remembered the year-end assessment this after, then did not take it to heart, her cultivation is already the second level of Qi cultivation, far more than the standard of the year-end assessment, art is even more amazing comprehension and breakthroughs, is not afraid of this small assessment.

In the next four months, Xu Chuniang temporarily put aside her practice of arts, except for maintaining the operation of the Hidden Spirit Determination during cultivation, she no longer practiced any arts, and focused on raising her cultivation.

The next four months passed in a flash, except for going to the food hall every two months to receive the grain-preventing dan, Xu Chuniang did not go out again, and always stayed in the cave and practiced diligently.

It wasn’t until the day before the year-end examination that she stopped absorbing spiritual qi and opened her eyes.

After withdrawing her Hidden Spirit Decision and feeling her own cultivation, Xu Chuniang revealed a hint of satisfaction on her face.

At the peak of the second level of Qi cultivation, she was only a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the third level of Qi cultivation!
“I’ve been taking Spirit Dew to cultivate for the past four months, and my cultivation has really improved a lot faster.”

Xu Chuniang thought about it, if she didn’t use spirit stones and cultivated normally, even if she used up her spiritual energy every time and then absorbed it again, it would take at least sixteen months to reach this level.

And taking spirit dew for cultivation was more than four times faster than regular cultivation!
The further one cultivated, the more Spiritual Qi one needed, and the time consumed naturally grew as well.

“Tomorrow is the year-end examination, and in the blink of an eye, it’s already been a year since I entered the Easy Sect. I was initiated on August 1st last year.”

Xu Chuniang stood up and jumped out of the cave with a few leaps, in the blink of an eye, it was going to be August again, but the Immortal Mountain didn’t have the change of seasons of the mundanes, and it was the same all year round.

“This year, I’ve been practicing hard, even on birthdays and New Year’s Eve days, I’ve never slacked off.”

Xu Chuniang jumped up a large tree, her head resting on her hands as she leisurely lay on the branch, looking through the dense foliage towards the sky.

“In the beginning, I tried hard to cultivate but I was afraid that the sect would kick me out, but later on, I was immersed in the fun of cultivation, becoming stronger little by little, this feeling, it’s so good!”

Xu Chuniang shook her head and smiled, this time last year, she had just been tested to have a spiritual root in her body and was accepted by the Easy Sect as an outer disciple.

At that time, although she was filled with joy, she was more apprehensive about the future. Now that a year had passed, she was already on the path of cultivation.

“After I left home, I don’t know if my younger siblings have ever thought about me ……”

Xu Chuniang remembered that her younger brother was five years old and her younger sister was only two years old when she left the Xu Clan Village. After such a long time had passed, the two little imps shouldn’t have forgotten about her, right?
“Immortals and mortals are different, and I don’t know when the next time we meet will be.”

On this day, Xu Chuniang didn’t cultivate any more, instead lying on a tree and resting for the day. By the end of the day, she actually fell asleep directly on the tree.

Perhaps it was the relaxation of her mind, she didn’t wake up the next day until three minutes past dusk.

It was only after Xu Chuniang woke up and realized that she was in a tree that she reacted to the fact that she had spent the night in a tree yesterday.

“Not good, the examination is about to begin!”

Seeing that the sky was bright, Xu Chuniang’s small face was taut as she quickly ran towards the examination location. Although the assessment only started at the sixth hour, the epoch was when new disciples were required to gather.

Damn, I guess I won’t be able to make it to the assembly, I just hope I can make it before the sixth hour!
All the way to rush slowly, Xu Chuniang is finally in the six o’clock before rush to the examination place, at this time all the new disciples and is responsible for the new disciples assessment of the steward has come together, Xu Chuniang lowered his head, quickly step towards the direction of the new disciples.

See close to the examination, there are disciples only just over the collection, a few stewards face flashed unhappy color, is always optimistic about Xu Chuniang’s steward Zhao, can not help but shake his head.

This Xu Chuniang usually looks quite a smart person, how come she was almost late on the day of the examination?
Zhang Donglai, who was responsible for the management of the new disciples, however, had a jolt of energy and rushed at Xu Chuniang with a loud shout, “Stop!”

He was looking for this ugly girl when he came, but never saw her silhouette, thought she was hiding in the crowd, but did not want her to come this late!
Really drowsy on someone to send a pillow, he was just thinking, to use what method to drive this ugly girl out of the clan, this does not have a ready-made excuse.

After Xu Chuniang recognized that it was Zhang Donglai’s voice, she secretly said bad in her heart, but she had to stop her steps and turned around, her face had already been replaced with a smile, “Steward Zhang, may I ask if you are calling for a disciple?”

Zhang Donglai snorted lightly, “Nonsense, who else is it if not you? Right now it’s already the sixth hour, the assessment has officially begun, you came so late, obviously you didn’t put today’s assessment in your eyes, in that case, you don’t have to participate in today’s assessment, take the initiative to go down the mountain yourself!”

He deliberately said the consequences heavily, in order to scare Xu Chuniang, as long as she has any disrespect for herself …… Zhang Donglai’s eyes flashed with a color of calculation, as if he saw Xu Chuniang being driven out of the sect.

Xu Chuniang was shocked and angry, not wanting her to come just one hour late, this Donglai Zhang mouth to expel her from the clan.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her chest. At the moment, she must not argue with Zhang Donglai, he was the supervisor in charge of the examination, and she was only a new disciple for one year, if she argued with him at this juncture, she was afraid that she would really be dealt with severely.

“All the stewards understand, when I came here, it was not yet the hour of the examination,” Xu Chuniang rushed towards the stewards and bowed deeply, “The dormitory I live in is too far away, on the top of the hill near the back of the mountain, it is extremely inconvenient to come over from that side, that is why I was delayed, and was not able to catch up with the gathering of the new disciples. Disciple’s every word is true, I don’t dare to deceive in any way, after all, disciple’s dormitory was assigned by Steward Zhang in the first place.”

Zhang Donglai’s face sank, anger flashed in his eyes, he did not expect this ugly girl to be smart, not only did she not clamor up, instead, she told him about the dormitory.

At first, he saw that this girl was not favorable, but he deliberately assigned an abandoned dormitory to her, if he really wanted to carefully pursue the matter, it would be that he was using his power for personal gain and oppressing the new disciples.

Although more or less, their group of stewards will receive disciples “filial piety”, but this kind of thing is not good to get to the surface.

Thank you for your votes and followers!
