Danxia faction annual exam, there are three days left in the countdown.

In a relatively remote alchemy room on Chiyan Peak, Lin Yang's face was black and white, and his head was sweating, staring nervously at the blazing flame Shangdan furnace.

"Alchemy Hundred Solutions", he has memorized it backwards, and today is his first attempt at alchemy.

These days, he used the collected waste pills to synthesize the upgraded pills, except for a small part for his own use, he took them all to Danxia Town, and exchanged them for a variety of spirit grasses, and a sufficient amount of twenty copies of the spirit grass to refine the Yuan Dan.

At the same time, he asked Ma Cheng to get the Danfang of Hui Yuan Dan. Ma Cheng and Fei Biao acted as eyes and ears, and he knew that the content of this year's miscellaneous labor peak annual exam was to refine the Hui Yuan Dan.

According to the instructions of the Huiyuan Dan Dan Fang and the "Alchemy Hundred Solutions", Lin Yang's spirit grass dosage and ratio did not dare to deviate in the slightest, and he was even more cautious when to use martial fire and when to use simmering fire. But the result was that nineteen times in a row, he only refined one furnace of dregs each time.

He endured the imminent collapse and gritted his teeth to start the twentieth alchemy, and the last alchemy, because he no longer had any spirit grass.

Perhaps because of the experience of accumulating nineteen failures and the twentieth alchemy, he proceeded smoothly and soon reached the final stage of collecting the pill.

The twentieth furnace of elixir has reached the most critical time, just wait for the earth fire introduced into the alchemy room to gradually recede, and the Huiyuan Dan can be completed. Lin Yang's palms were already sweating, the first time he made alchemy, twenty furnaces can be refined into one furnace, and he still has a little alchemy talent.

Lin Yang looked at the earth fire that was about to be extinguished under the Dan furnace, his heart was pounding, the harvest of the pill was imminent, although it was only a furnace of Huiyuan Dan, but after all, it was refined by himself, how could he not be excited.

Finally, the earth fire was completely extinguished, and there was already a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from the Dan furnace.

Lin Yang's face had already shown a smile early, and at this moment, only a muffled sound was heard, and the smile on his face completely froze.

Ignoring the hot temperature, Lin Yang opened the Dan furnace, only to see more than a dozen pills rolling down at the bottom of the Dan furnace, black, not round, not square, and some even had cracks on the surface, all of which were waste pills.

"It seems that I don't have much talent in alchemy." The facts are in front of him, and Lin Yang has to admit it.

……

The Danxia faction's annual examination has finally kicked off.

Because the content of the assessment is alchemy talent, the annual examination location of the Miscellaneous Labor Peak was selected in Chiyan Peak. Alchemists can use fire or Yuan Li to make alchemy. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, using Yuan Li, the alchemist can freely control the temperature of the Dan furnace, so that the rate of Dan formation and the quality of the Dan can be improved. However, the use of Yuan Force to refine the Dan is not only extremely consuming for the spirit of the alchemist, but also requires the alchemist's Yuan Power Reserve. Alchemy with fire is labor-saving and convenient, but the firepower is not easy to control, and the success rate and quality of the pill are relatively inferior to alchemy with yuan power.

The miscellaneous disciples of the Danxia faction are not Yuan Xiu, and they can only use firepower to refine the pill.

Lin Yang ended the miscellaneous work of Chiyan Peak early, and gathered on a flat ground in Chiyan Peak with many miscellaneous disciples, and around the flat land, there were more than a dozen alchemy rooms.

On the flat ground, on the temporary platform, sat the handyman Feng Zhangfeng Ma Tao and two outer door elders, one surnamed Tie and the other surnamed Ye.

As soon as the hour came, Ma Tao stood up, he cleared his throat, and said: "This annual examination of the Miscellaneous Service Peak is to select outstanding talents for the sect. I hope you can all seize the opportunity, show your talents, strive to enter the outer door, shine your life, and add glory to the Miscellaneous Peak! ”

After making a generous statement, Ma Tao looked at Elder Tie beside him and said politely: "Elder Tie, I would like to ask you to read out the rules and precautions for this annual examination. ”

After speaking, Ma Tao made a gesture of please, and then sat back in the chair.

Elder Tie was born with a tall skeleton, he stood up and said in a loud voice, "Today's assessment is divided into three parts and three tests, and one test is an elimination. Those who pass the three tests can enter the outer gate and become an outer disciple. During the test, communication and conversation are prohibited, and if found, the qualification for the assessment will be revoked. ”

With that, Elder Tie sat straight back in his seat.

Elder Ye then got up, and after he looked around, he announced, "Before the first test begins, each of you will be given a spirit sketch atlas, hurry up and read it, and strive to memorize it. Half an hour later, the atlas was retrieved and tested. ”

Soon, the miscellaneous service peak disciples who came to participate in the assessment in the field each obtained a spirit sketch atlas. There are 100 kinds of common spirit grasses in the atlas, and the medicinal value of each spirit grass, the growth environment and flowering period, etc., are recorded and introduced in detail, illustrated and illustrated, easy to understand and remember.

However, it was not easy to memorize a hundred kinds of spirit grass in half an hour.

Lin Yang held the atlas in his hand, sometimes frowning and closing his eyes, sometimes scratching his ears and cheeks, looking serious and trying to remember. In fact, as early as ten days ago, Lin Yang had obtained the Spirit Sketch Atlas from Ma Cheng's hand, and he had already memorized it backwards, and at the moment he was just pretending to follow the trend.

Half an hour passed, and the spirit sketch atlas was withdrawn, and everyone else felt that the time was too short, and they didn't write down many of the contents, but Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief: finally there was no need to pretend anymore.

"Next, I will ask questions, raise my hand to answer, and those who answer one question correctly will be deemed to have passed the first round of the test." Elder Ye walked to the front of the stage, turned his eyes and swept over the faces of many outer disciples who looked nervous and excited, and then raised his voice and said, "First question, how many years does it take for the sheep's horn grass to grow before its taste can change from astringent to sweet?" ”

As soon as Elder Ye's words fell, the audience raised more than twenty hands in unison, if ordinary people observed with the naked eye, it would be difficult to distinguish who raised their hands first and who raised their hands later.

"You answer." After all, Elder Ye was a Yuan cultivator, and his eyesight was very accessible, and he could see at a glance that the first person to raise his hand was a short miscellaneous disciple.

After the short miscellaneous disciple was pointed, he stood up with a flushed face, and he asked weakly, "Elder, can you say the question again?" ”

"Get out!" Elder Ye shouted angrily and said, "Raise your hand before you finish listening to the question, and cancel the assessment qualifications!" ”

"Elder, I'm so excited, I forgot the question, give me another chance!" The short man still wants to quibble.

"Cheating, full of lies, reward him with two mouths, and he will not be allowed to take the annual exam within three years, throw it out!" Elder Iron spoke angrily.

Then, two burly Danxia disciples rushed to the short man with a fierce momentum, and one of them picked up the big slap of the pu fan, and slapped the short man twice, beating the short man in a straight circle, and the short man suddenly couldn't find the north. The other man did not wait for the short man to stand firm, so he grabbed his neck with one hand and his foot with the other, and lifted the short man up in an instant, and then violently exerted his strength, and threw the short man away, flying out more than ten feet away, and fell directly into the ravine between the mountains.

This operation made the miscellaneous peak disciples in the audience dumbfounded, and the people who originally wanted to follow suit suddenly shrank their heads and gave up the idea of cheating.

Ma Tao's face was ugly, and he stopped talking.

"Tsk, the style of the outer door is too strong." Lin Yang secretly stuck out his tongue, and repeatedly told himself to be careful and careful, because everyone present, when it comes to cheating, he is the first.

"How long does it take for a hundred-petal flower to bloom and how many petals does a flower have?"

After cleaning up the short man, Elder Ye directly asked the second question.

This time, the speed of raising hands off the field was obviously much slower, and there were less than ten people raising their hands.

Although the black-faced young man who was nodded by Elder Ye to answer the question was a little excited, he finally said the answer accurately.

"After passing the first round of testing, you can go and wait." Elder Ye nodded at the black-faced young man and instructed him to wait by the flowers on the side.

The black-faced young man was excited, and after bowing to Elder Ye again and again, he ran to the side of the flowers with his hands dancing, and sat down steadily in the envious eyes of others, and then the old god watched others answer the questions on the ground.

"What's so proud? Just now, I was so slow that there was no one who didn't know how many petals there were for a hundred dollars. ”

"As for being so proud! This is only the first round of testing, and I don't know what is going on in the next two rounds of testing! ”

"Let him be proud first, and he will cry if he doesn't get the next round of tests."

……

The black-faced youth was the first to pass the first round of tests, which naturally attracted the envy and jealousy of others.

The first round of testing continued, and with the successful demonstration of the black-faced youth, the miscellaneous disciples in the audience were in high spirits, and they scrambled to raise their hands one by one. Among the people who raised their hands, some answered incorrectly and were directly eliminated from the competition. Of course, there are also people who answered successfully and passed the first round of tests. As time passed, there were people who succeeded in answering and went to the flowers.

Lin Yang knew that in this assessment, only fifty questions would be asked in the first round of the test, and when Elder Ye said the thirty-eighth question, he immediately raised his hand and raised his hand high.

"You come to answer, it's you, you don't have to raise your hands so high, I see you." Elder Ye pointed at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang got up slowly, and said in a voice that was neither high nor low: "Dragon scales are bitter and love yin, ten years of flowering and ten years of fruit, after the fruit is picked, it should be sealed and stored with mountain spring water, otherwise it will rot in a moment." ”

Elder Ye nodded, and then began to ask the next question.

Lin Yang saluted Elder Ye, and then retreated from the field with his waist bent, went to the side of the flower bush silently, and found a corner to sit down.

Soon, Elder Ye finished asking the fiftieth question.

"At the end of the first round of testing, those who did not answer the questions failed the assessment, and those who did not pass the test quickly exited." After Elder Ye finished speaking, he waved his hand towards the audience.

"Elder, why don't you ask questions, but I've memorized the entire atlas?"

"Yes, Elder, it's so unfair, they just have a faster hand, in terms of the number of spirit grasses recorded, they may not be as much as me!"

……

There were hundreds of people who were eliminated, some people took the lead in expressing dissatisfaction, others immediately chattered, and suddenly, the audience was in chaos.

Elder Tie glared at him and was about to go crazy, but Ma Tao stood up first, pointed at the many miscellaneous disciples in the audience and scolded: "Fifty questions, fifty opportunities, you can't grab a single question, just your brain, where can you be stronger than a pig?" There is also a face shouting here, don't let Lao Tzu go back to the Miscellaneous Peak! ”

Ma Tao obviously had a lot of prestige in the Miscellaneous Servant Peak, and as soon as he spoke out, the audience immediately fell silent, and all the miscellaneous disciples shrank their heads and shoulders one by one and got up and left.

Soon, there were only fifty disciples left on Chiyan Peak who had passed the first round of tests, such as Lin Yang.

"Congratulations on passing the first round of testing, and the second round will begin soon. The second round of the test is to identify the spirit grass, I will prepare ten spirit grasses for you, you need to pick out three designated spirit grasses from them, and all three are right, you will be deemed to have passed the assessment. What I want to remind you is that these spirit grasses are very similar in appearance, only very slight differences, if you are not careful, you may admit mistakes, you must observe carefully and answer carefully. At the same time, there is only time for you to answer with a stick of incense. ”

Subsequently, Lin Yang and the others were called back to the square under the stage and asked to line up in a circle.

After everyone was arranged, Elder Ye asked people to carry a table, and there were ten jade boxes on the table, and the jade boxes were numbered from one to ten, and the situation in the jade boxes could not be seen from the audience. On one side of the table, there is also a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"The second round of testing begins!" Elder Ye announced in a loud voice, and then he pointed to one of the disciples closest to the platform and said, "You, it's you, you come up and try it first!" ”

I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate, but the one who was named was the first black-faced young man to pass the first round of the test.

The black-faced young man was stunned for a moment, and then nervously stepped onto the stage.

Elder Ye lowered his voice and whispered a few words in the ear of the black-faced young man. The black-faced young man nodded, then walked to the table, carefully and carefully and repeatedly checked back and forth in front of the ten jade boxes, until the time of a pillar of incense had passed, and the black-faced young man walked to the side of the table and wrote down three numbers with a pen.

Elder Ye stepped forward, glanced at those numbers, and then coldly announced, "Elimination!" Next! ”

The black-faced young man's black face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently because of his uncontrollable emotions, and he stared at the jade box on the table in a daze, as if he didn't believe that he had chosen the wrong one.

"What are you doing here? Get me out of here! Elder Tie waved his hand, and the two Danxia Sect disciples came out of nowhere, rushing straight to the stage with a fierce momentum.

The black-faced young man obviously remembered the tragic plight of the short man, and without waiting for the two Danxia disciples to rush to the stage, he jumped directly from the stage, and then ran away, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
