Chapter 148: Testing Methods

coming to the Lower Realm, and seeing Jiang Yun trying to escape, how could he possibly let him get awayWith a sneer, Tian Xiang pointed at Jiang Yun from the air.As soon as this finger fell, Jiang Yu...All cultivators from every realm, regardless of age, are welcome to participate in the test. Finally, we, your senior and junior brothers and sisters, will give you the results based on how well you perform!

As soon as Xiao's words fell, a cultivator immediately spoke up and asked, "Master Xiao, among us, many people are completely unfamiliar with the way of medicine, but some have a little knowledge of it. Would it be unfair for everyone to participate in the test together"

"There is no injustice!" Xiao Zheng said with an increasingly cold expression. "The way of medicine doesn't actually require any talent. It's just about rote memorization, remembering the characteristics of various medicinal herbs. As long as you are willing to work hard, almost anyone can do it!"

To be honest, most people don't believe Xiao Zheng's words. If it were really as simple as he said, alchemists wouldn't have their current status.

Only Ginger Cloud nodded silently, in full agreement with Xiao Zheng's words. She herself had memorized countless materials over the past decade, so she felt it more deeply than anyone else.

Looking at the crowd with expressions of disbelief, Xiao Zheng continued, "But, this is just alchemy!"

To become a qualified alchemist, one must also possess two other conditions.

First, it's the heart;

"The most common thing in alchemy is failure! Many people fail dozens of times, losing their confidence. Such people are unlikely to achieve great things!"

“To know, any alchemist, in their growth process, will inevitably go through countless failures. Failure is not terrible, what's terrifying is losing one's heart! Therefore, one must have an unassuming and calm mind, regardless of success or failure, to maintain their original state of mind!”

"Indecisive, everything is just empty talk!"

"Second, it's about seeing how each person manipulates Qi!"

"Because when refining medicine, one needs to control the heat and add the appropriate medicinal ingredients at the right time. Being a moment too slow or too fast could ruin an entire batch of pills. Therefore, one's control over spiritual energy must be extremely precise."

"So, next we're going to test your ability to control Qi!"

It has to be said, despite Xiao Zhen's seeming disinterest in socializing and his aloof nature, once a topic related to alchemy comes up, he transforms completely. Even a devout light seems to gleam on his face.

It is not difficult to see that this person is truly devoted to the path of medicine, with nothing else on their mind.

And his detailed explanation naturally made everyone understand, and even many people's faces had already shown excitement.

Because they are all relatively skilled at manipulating spiritual energy, they are very confident.

Even Luo Lingxiao, who appeared out of nowhere among the crowd, couldn't help but show a glimmer of joy on his face.

He originally thought that he had lost to Jiang Yun in front of everyone, and it was over completely. However, he didn't expect that the ancestor would give him another chance.

So he made up his mind that he absolutely couldn't disappoint his ancestor and had to do everything in his power to become a disciple of Yaoshengzong.

Only in this way can one remain seated as the young master, and even sit more securely than before!

Especially now that he heard the purpose of Xiao Zheng's test, it made him even more excited. As a dual-channel body, he was best at manipulating spiritual energy!

Luo Lingxiao's eyes suddenly caught sight of Jiang Yun in the crowd. This caused the excitement on his face to instantly transform into anger, and he glared viciously at Jiang Yun.

"I hope you'll also participate in Master Xiao's arranged test, that way I can avenge my past defeats and wash away the humiliation!"

He didn't believe that Jiang Yun could also have precise control over spiritual energy, because most people had already noticed that Jiang Yun's spiritual energy was much deeper than others.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary fireball defeat so many opponents

The more qi there is, the greater the difficulty of controlling it freely.

"Master Xiao, how exactly do we test this"

"Very simple!"

As he spoke, a jade bottle with a narrow top and wide bottom suddenly appeared on Xiao Zhen's left hand. In his right hand appeared a handful of sesame seeds.

After placing the two items side by side, Xiao Zheng pointed to the sesame seeds and said: “Treat these sesame seeds as the materials needed for alchemy. Consider this jade bottle as your mortar. Each of you uses your spiritual energy to pick up one sesame seed at a time and put it into the bottle. You have ten breaths of time. Let's see how many each of you can put in!”

This test was truly original and completely unexpected!

However, Jiang Yun just stroked his nose and once again wore a strange expression on his face. He muttered to himself, "This Xiao Zheng, could it be that Heaven intentionally sent him to help me"

Although Ginger Cloud initially didn't want to participate in the Yaoshen Sect's selection of disciples, Xiao Zheng's last resort suggestion had forced his hand!

Not only must you come, but you must also demonstrate a talent for alchemy that surpasses even Xiao Zheng's. Only then can you enter the Yaoshengzong.

Therefore, after hearing Xiao Zheng's description of the testing method, it was unheard of for other cultivators, but for Jiang Yun, it was all too familiar!

Because he was just starting out as a cultivator, entering the fifth stage of Qi Circulation, he wanted to cast more powerful spells. After a day of deep thought, he came up with a way to do so.

Using his qi, he shaped it into fingers to pick up the small stones one by one and place them in a bowl. After a whole month of practice, he was finally able to effortlessly place sesame-sized stones into the bowl.

Ginger Yun's thought-out plan was exactly the same as the test content that Xiao Zheng had arranged.

Not to mention, he later spent nearly two more months at Lao Hei's place, learning some cloud and mist techniques to further strengthen his control over spiritual energy.

Therefore, this test was really easy for Ginger Cloud, effortless.

"Everyone can prepare yourselves first. We will start the test in fifteen minutes!"

This testing method is too novel, so Xiao Zheng specially gave everyone some time to try it out.

For a while, numerous factions hurriedly had their disciples gather whatever stones and gravel they could find and begin trying them.

A moment passed quickly. At Xiao Zheng's urging, the many cultivators who participated in the test finally arrived before him.

Although each faction originally only intended for the best of their members to participate in the test, since Xiao Zheng said that anyone who had reached the Pulse Meridian Realm could take part, everyone wanted to give it a try. Therefore, the number of participants in the test was almost the same as during the daytime competition.

Only Xie Xiaoyong and Liu Hao are missing!

Because there were too many people, and Xiao Zheng's conduct was extremely strict, he couldn't rest assured leaving others in charge of the judgment, so he divided the thousand people into two groups, Xie Xiaoyong responsible for one group, and himself responsible for the other.

Jiang Yun was in Xiao Zheng's group, while Luo Lingxiao was in Xie Xiaoyong's group. The two of them didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional, they both chose to stand at the back.

"Now, the test begins!"
