Chapter 438: Seven-Day Entrance Examination
Chapter 436 – Seven Day Entrance Exam
The image on the broken stone steeply fell silent.
Li Fan didn’t rush and waited patiently.
After a long time, the human face had a reply, “Found it! There is something, but it is extremely suitable for you!”
“Oh? What is it?” Li Fan showed some excitement.
“[Heaven Swallowing and Earth Eating Technique]!” The human face said rather proudly.
“Swallowing Heaven and Eating Earth?” Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he thought for a while, failing to find the relevant information from his memory.
Fortunately, the human face had no intention of quizzing Li Fan, and directly explained, “It is a method left behind by an infamous cultivator in the ancient times.”
“This person took a unique approach to cultivation by not drawing spiritual qi from the heavens and earth and instead directly devouring spiritual veins and earth veins.”
“Although the progress was extremely fast, he didn’t know how to restrain himself and acted recklessly, causing the spiritual qi of several states to dry up and the mountains and rivers to change shape in a short period of time.”
“In the end, he was discovered and ended up with his skin plucked from his bones and his soul scattered.”
“However, this secret method of his was preserved after being tortured.”
Li Fan thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, “Head you mean, let me rely on the [Heaven Swallowing and Earth Eating Technique] and secretly suck the spirit veins and earth veins of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?”
The human face nodded with a childish look, “Most of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s township strongholds are built on top of earth veins.”
“As the town guard of Tai’an Island, as long as you are careful and suck in a small amount each time, you will definitely not be discovered.”
“And this little bit of the earth veins, for you a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is also already a great tonic. In this way, I think you will be able to quickly ascend to the Jindan realm.”
Li Fan rejoiced, “Head, you are really too wise and brilliant!”
The human face, however, did not eat Li Fan’s words and snorted coldly, “You go and ask that He Zhenghao for the first day’s examination questions first. When the results come out and it’s confirmed that there’s no mistake, we’ll make a deal that night.”
“At that time, I will specially send someone forward. You’ll just be responsible for the handover.”
“I will also ask him to bring the [Heaven Swallowing and Earth Eating Technique] to you by the way.” Li Fan was not surprised by the human face’s decision.
After all, five million contribution degrees was not a small amount of money. It was impossible to give it to him, an explicit Foundation Establishment cultivator, to dominate.
So he nodded his head repeatedly in agreement.
“You and go.” The human face commanded.
“We’ve been meeting more frequently lately, so be careful on the road. Don’t reveal anything at critical moments.”
“Head, just don’t worry.” Li Fan patted his chest and assured.
After agreeing on the location of the next contact, the broken stone gradually lost its luster and turned into pieces.
“Devouring the power of the earth’s veins to cultivate ……,” Li Fan but suddenly remembered something.
“If it can be utilized, then I’m afraid that the speed of cultivation in this life will be faster than expected.”
Taking on the likeness of Zhou Qingang, Li Fan quietly flew back into Tai’an Island.
The doppelganger was deeply hidden in the Tai’an Island’s protective formation, and there was no need to be afraid of others discovering it.
However, just to be on the safe side, Li Fan still placed another layer of spell formation in the closed door chamber.
He also cast up the secret art [Only Hands Covering the Sky] to cover it up again.
Only after doing all this did he take out a blank jade slip from his storage ring.
The blue light of the Hado Stone flowed in Li Fan’s mind, and the test questions that he had memorized in his last life were all burned into the jade slip.
The Great Entrance Examination of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was divided into many subjects such as [Politics], [Law], [Scripture], [Martial Arts], [Artifacts], [Formations], [Dans], and [Runes].
It was hosted by the Buzheng Hall of each region, with the assistance of the Performing Arts Hall.
Anyone who applies for the examination must take the examination in all subjects.
After an all-round evaluation, a group will be optimally selected and transferred to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance or other important and confidential areas.
Only then will the cultivator’s performance and personal willingness to join, for the allocation of positions.
The form of assessment is not limited to questions and answers similar to those of the Spiritual Awareness Ball.
For example, in the examination of [Politics], the candidates would be plunged into a real-life illusion similar to that of [Era].
They will go through all sorts of changes, thus testing their awareness and loyalty.
Another example is the art of artifacts, formations, dan, talismans, etc. In addition to the theoretical tests, the candidates will also be required to perform on-site practical operations. Each time a large number of cultivators participate in the entry examination, although most of them are accompanied by runners.
But this process is also time-consuming and laborious.
But the cultivators are also happy to do so, and the number of people who sign up for the reference each time increases rather than decreases.
Overall, for those who were paying attention, the once-in-a-decade entry examination could be considered an event.
Burning the first day’s test questions and the remaining ones into two jade slips respectively, Li Fan let out a light breath.
Li Fan himself had no intention of taking the exam since.
After all, for him, it was entirely possible to enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance system through many more convenient means.
Moreover, the most important task in this life at the moment was to advance to the YuanYing realm with the Five Elements Cavern.
After entering the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, there would instead be an additional layer of shackles that would not be conducive to action.
“There is still a month and a half left, just wait attentively.”
Li Fan practiced while carefully contemplating the possible variables that might arise in the future.
Time passed slowly.
During this period, in order not to miss the cracks, Li Fan also invited He Zhenghao to Tai’an Island as a guest several times.
The formation was closed off and long talks were held throughout the night.
Li Fan, who knew He Zhenghao’s temperament well, naturally chatted with him.
After a few times, he took “Zhou Qingang” more and more as his confidant.
And He Zhenghao in casual conversation, also many times proudly mentioned that he had been “ancient Tianji Sect cultivator” guidance.
A wave of input, a complete turnaround, from then on to change their own destiny.
After practicing the Yuanying technique, he will soon have Jindan in his sights.
Li Fan had an envious look on the surface.
He repeatedly bragged about He Zheng Hao and pleaded again and again for him to think of himself the next time he had a chance to get rich.
He Zhenhao couldn’t resist Li Fan’s softly coaxing, and promised with his mouth full.
Li Fan then revealed a pleased smile.
Other than that, the Cong Yun Sea was calm and no other strange things happened.
Soon, there were still three days left before the official start of the Great Entrance Examination.
Once again, he made an appointment to meet He Zhenghao for a long talk, and waited for him to leave.
Li Fan stood up boldly, “It’s time.”
Quietly, he flew towards the location he had agreed with the Broken Stone Human Face.
Following the same steps as before, he found the location of the joint this time.
After the verification was passed, the human face suddenly appeared at first glance.
“Well? Did you get the test questions?” In the human face’s voice, a trace of nervousness and anticipation very rarely appeared.
Li Fan was similarly excited in a way that was hard to hide.
He nodded his head and took out the jade slip with the first day’s test questions engraved on it and placed it on top of the broken stone.
Yellow light enveloped the jade slip, and the image of the human face became blurred.
A moment later.
“Very well! You will wait here. Three days later, we’ll know the difference.”
Without waiting for Li Fan to respond, the human face couldn’t wait to disappear.
The yellow light dimmed, but this time the broken stone did not shatter.
Li Fan looked at the broken stone, his eyes full of meaning.
