Time passed day by day, and it came to the day of the Luoxia Mountains disciples' assessment.

The first round of assessment is for new disciples who have joined the Luoxia Mountain Range. It is divided into two parts, assessing alchemy skills and cultivation respectively.

There were no new disciples in Yang Teng's cave, and he did not have to take the alchemy test, but he still brought Zhu Yiping and others to watch.

Si Ying was puzzled, "Elder, is there any point in watching them make alchemy? Isn't this a waste of time?"

Zhu Yiping also didn't understand that only by passing the alchemy and cultivation assessments could these people have the chance to become formal disciples, but their status was still much lower than theirs, and their alchemy skills were even less comparable to those of them.

Yang Teng said formally: "If you think so, you are wrong. Don't think that you are superior to others because you entered the Luoxia Mountains a few years earlier than them. There are endless generations of geniuses in the Luoxia Mountains, and many people have shown their ability from the beginning.

They have extraordinary abilities. Now their alchemy skills are not as good as yours, but some of their fantastic ideas are worth learning from you. Maybe these people may not be able to achieve your current achievements in the future, but as long as there is a disciple who surpasses you,

It shows that there is something worth learning from you.”

After listening to Yang Teng's words, Zhu Yiping and others pondered silently.

This is indeed the truth. They now look down on the monks who are waiting for the examination, and those monks are envious of them.

But in the future, Zhu Yiping will be an old man in the Luoxia Mountains. He has seen many assessments, and every time someone will come out ahead. Doesn't this just prove that Elder Yang's words are correct?

"Pride and complacency will limit a person's future. Learn from others' strengths with humility and constantly make up for your own shortcomings. I don't want you to work here just to clean the courtyard and manage the cave. I hope that one day when you achieve something in the future, you can proudly say,

I learned a lot from Yang Teng back then, and that's how I achieved what I have achieved today, do you understand?" Yang Teng stared at the crowd and said.

Talent is of course important. If you can become a disciple of Luoxia Mountain Range, your talent will not be too bad.

But Yang Teng believes more in working hard to create miracles. His current achievements in this life can be said to have inherited all the valuable wealth such as the knowledge and experience from that life.

In that life, no one could match Yang Teng's efforts, so he had unlimited glory in this life.

"Thank you, elder, for your teaching. I'll note it down." Zhu Yiping was very touched. Master Yi Hua would never say such things. Yi Hua taught them the art of alchemy and weapon refining and guided their cultivation, but Yang Teng taught them the principles of life.

Give them direction for their future.

The alchemy test took place at the main peak square, and Yang Teng brought Zhu Yiping and others to the square.

The monks who were about to take the examination were ready, and two rows of alchemy furnaces were placed in the square.

Looking around, it was clear that each cave abode did not attach much importance to the first round of assessments, and only sent a few disciples to lead these people over to wait for the assessment results.

"What is that boy Wang Zhong doing here? He can't be interested in the first round of assessment." Zhu Yiping said strangely.

Looking in this direction, Si Ying also felt very strange, "Wang Zhong is not just hanging around Su Shi. Is there something he is more interested in here?"

Everyone knows that Wang Zhong is Su Shi's loyal lackey. He never leaves Su Shi's side. Unless there is something special, Wang Zhong will definitely stay by Su Shi's side.

Just as he was talking, a deacon came to the square and announced loudly that the assessment had begun.

There were a total of fifty alchemy furnaces in two rows. The fifty monks whose names were called first came to the alchemy furnace, picked up the elixir next to them and started to refine the elixir.

The rules are very simple. If you successfully refine a batch of spirit-gathering pills, you will pass the test.

Everyone has only one chance.

"What is that kid Wang Zhong doing!" Zhu Yiping's sharp eyes saw Wang Zhong stuffing a jade bottle into a monk who was about to take the assessment.

"I understand, this kid is cheating!" Si Ying was so angry that he was about to stand up and expose Wang Zhong, "This bastard, this bastard will ruin the reputation of Luoxia Mountain Range!"

Yang Teng stopped Si Ying and said, "Forget it, even if the monk successfully passes the test, what's the point? Such a person with evil intentions will not achieve anything in the future. Besides, if he goes to Su Shi's side, his future in this life will be over.

Already."

"Hmph!" Si Ying was very angry. He couldn't stand such people the most. If you want to get something, you just have to rely on your own ability to get it. By cheating, even if you get through, it's not the right way.

Yang Teng didn't pay attention to this. His attention was attracted by one of the monks, "Look at that monk."

Looking in the direction of Yang Teng's gaze, Zhu Yiping said: "He must have never learned alchemy before. His movements are clumsy and he is at a loss."

There are many such monks. Every time the Luoxia Mountain Range selects disciples, there will be such people.

"If he can't calm down, he may fail." Si Ying also commented.

Refining alchemy in front of many people is also an assessment that determines your future and destiny. Without an absolutely stable mentality, even monks with experience in alchemy will inevitably feel nervous.

Moreover, this monk could tell at a glance that he had never understood the art of alchemy before.

They were able to stand here and make alchemy thanks to their temporary study these days.

The Luoxia Mountains still take good care of these people. After arriving in the Luoxia Mountains, a dedicated person will explain alchemy to them. After a few days of study, they will initially master some skills. As for whether they can successfully pass the assessment, it depends on their own talents and

Ability to comprehend.

"You only see that he is a novice, but don't you see anything else?" Yang Teng asked.

After hearing what Yang Teng said, everyone quickly watched carefully.

"It's amazing! You got into the state so quickly." Si Ying exclaimed. The monk had lost his initial nervousness and his movements became smoother.

"But it was too late. If I read it correctly, he had already destroyed one or two elixirs and this batch of elixirs was scrapped. It's a pity. If he hadn't been so nervous at the beginning, he might have had hope of success."

Zhu Yiping said regretfully.

It is very simple to observe whether the alchemy is scrapped. You can judge it by the green smoke coming out of the alchemy furnace.

During the normal purification process, the smoke coming out of the alchemy furnace appears light blue, which is the smoke caused by the removal of impurities.

And the alchemy furnace in front of the monk suddenly emitted thick smoke. The black smoke indicated that the essence of the elixir had been destroyed.

There is no point in him continuing to refine it. The elixirs in the alchemy furnace are carefully prepared. If any of them are lost, the spirit-gathering elixir cannot be refined.

But this monk did not give up. He was not willing to be eliminated and continued to refine.

"The fate of the outer sect servant, if he can get a great opportunity, and someone will teach him how to refine alchemy in the future, and he may take the outer sect disciple assessment in the future, he may have the opportunity to become a formal disciple." Si Ying said coldly.

Things like this happen in every assessment.

The Spirit Gathering Pill is the most common elixir, and the refining process is the simplest. Soon, all fifty monks have completed the assessment.

The monks who were able to take part in the assessment were not too bad in ability, and thirty-five of them passed the assessment.

These thirty-five monks were filled with joy and pride as they passed the most important alchemy test. The next cultivation test was by no means difficult.

"Senior, I beg you to give me another chance. I have found the secret. If you give me another chance, I will definitely succeed!" A failed monk was unwilling to accept the fate of entering the outer sect. He cried and came to the person who presided over the assessment.

In front of the deacon, he begged for another chance.

"A joke! Everyone has one chance, but you didn't grasp it and you still want a second chance! If everyone were like you, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules! Isn't the Luoxia Mountains a place where you can run wild!" the deacon shouted angrily,

He has seen many such people.

"Senior, I have traveled thousands of miles to come to the Luoxia Mountains. I don't want to be an outer disciple. Please have mercy on me, senior, and let me do it again." The monk wailed. Once he enters the outer sect, he will do chores every day.

How can I have so much time to learn alchemy?

Moreover, there is no one to guide the outer sect disciples in practicing alchemy. It is far more difficult to enter the inner sect from the outer sect than to become a formal disciple directly now.

"Don't back down! If you dare to disturb the order of the assessment, you will be beaten to death with sticks!" The deacon shouted: "I will consider this your first offense and will not pursue you for the time being. Go down!"

"Senior, I beg you to be kind. I really cannot enter the outer gate. I have a deep blood feud. Only by becoming a disciple of Zilou can I avenge my hatred. Please show mercy to me. I will remember your goodness for the rest of my life." The monk said in a sad voice.

, and knelt down before the deacon.

The deacon was angry, "What does your blood feud have to do with me! What does it have to do with the Zilou lineage! You actually want to use the name of the Luoxia Mountain Range to help you avenge you! I think you are harboring evil intentions. Come on, beat me down."

!”

The disciples standing behind the deacon swarmed forward, subdued the monk several times, and dragged him down.

Seeing this scene, Yang Teng shook his head, "This man is blinded by hatred. He shouldn't say such things on this occasion."

"Yes, with ulterior motives and sinister purposes, we must not accept such people." Zhu Yiping echoed.

"It's understandable that he wants to become a Zilou disciple and use the power of his master to take revenge. But he shouldn't say it. Even if he enters the outer sect, he will work hard to become a formal disciple. After he becomes stronger, he can't avenge any hatred with his own hands.

." Yang Teng looked down upon such people. Those who always think about relying on external forces and are not enterprising are doomed to have no future.

This monk did not get what he wanted. The other monks who were eliminated originally wanted to fight for another chance, but now they did not dare to speak and stood aside honestly.

"Did you notice the person I just mentioned?" Yang Teng asked.

"Which one? Is it the monk who destroyed the essence of the elixir?" Zhu Yiping wondered why the elder paid attention to an ordinary person today.

"That's him." Yang Teng asked: "Since I have been eliminated and become an outer disciple, can I ask the outer disciple for him to come to our cave?"

In fact, Yang Teng knew the rules of the Luoxia Mountains, so asking this was just to hide himself.

Huh? Si Ying was stunned. Elder Yang was so strange today that he valued an ordinary monk so much.

Zhu Yiping quickly said: "He has two choices: become an outer disciple and wait for the opportunity to become a formal disciple in the future, or ask to leave now. Once he decides to enter the outer sect, asking to leave is a betrayal of the master, which is a huge sin."

"If the elders open their mouths and value any outer disciple, that will be their blessing." A disciple next to Si Ying said.
