Chapter 36: The Midterm (I)

After listening to the story of Daojing Zhenren, Meng Xiwen didn't know what kind of mood he was in.

It turns out that there is still this past.

The parents in my impression seem to be an ordinary and loving couple. Except, the two seem to have always looked younger than their peers.

They never mentioned these things, at most they just muttered that they must go to Qingyuan.

However, this is the same as other parents.

Meng Xiwen walked on the mountain road, looking at the warm clouds in the western sky, a little distracted.

"Ah Wen, was the second aunt really so powerful before?" Meng Xipan remembered the words of the real person just now, and was still a little excited.

Meng Xiwen shook his head, "I don't know." ”

They are like a rich couple who travel in the mountains and rivers, wandering from place to place.

They will find all kinds of fun in their journeys, and their father will weave all kinds of interesting things from the branches of the trees and the stalks of grass on the ground. My mother will find all kinds of strange plants in all kinds of strange places, and point them out to her that they are fairy grass, but they never pick them.

They love to join in the fun, and often go to the rumored haunted villages for a long time until the rumors have dissipated.

The days of traveling with my father and mother are vivid, at that time it was just ordinary, and now it is a taste in my heart.

If it weren't for Qingyuan, if it weren't for Xuantong, Xuanyi, and Daojing, Meng Xiwen felt that she might never know these stories.

If it had been a few months ago, he was just an ordinary person, he hadn't seen this vast world of cultivation, and he hadn't understood the powerful power of the monks, Meng Xiwen might not have had such a big feeling.

But now.

She poured spiritual power into her index finger and gently swiped across the rocks on the side of the road, leaving a smooth shallow groove in the hard granite.

An ant passed by, accidentally fell into it, and struggled several times because the wall was too smooth to move. I had to wait for a gust of mountain wind to blow it away from the valley.

This is the power of the monk.

A second-layer Qi refining cultivator who has not yet learned spells and can only rudely infuse spiritual power to strengthen himself.

Meng Xiwen didn't know how her mother knew all this and gave it up after having all this.

Meng Xiwen really wanted to ask her, in these years, she missed it, and she regretted it.

However, Meng Xiwen's melancholy thoughts only existed for a short period of time, and then they were completely washed away by the suddenly tense learning atmosphere.

Because, the midterm exams are coming.

Qingyuan has always adopted the method of process assessment to evaluate students' academics, and is more interested in whether the middle school students have really learned and mastered the knowledge, and does not want young children to become examination machines that only focus on grades, hoping that they will pay more attention to the process rather than the result, so as to establish a correct outlook on life, worldview and values.

Above, this long paragraph translates to -

In Qingyuan, every course will be tested from beginning to end.

The forms of assessment include but are not limited to, in-class quizzes, in-class questions, after-class homework, stage written tests, practical operations, etc.

Among them, the more important ones are the mid-term and the end-of-term assessment.

First of all, these two assessments are comprehensive, often including two parts: written test and practical operation.

But more importantly, these two assessments will combine previous performance to obtain a comprehensive score, and a ranking will be based on this score.

In the mid-term stage, the top three will have some extra points at the end of the term. The ranking at the end of the semester will affect the belonging of the annual honors students.

In this group of people in Qingyuan, many of them grew up in the name of geniuses. Regardless of the bonus point advantage of this assessment, no one wants to be inferior to others for the first ranking.

As a result, everyone is reading hard.

Meng Xiwen is of course no exception.

After all, on Senior Brother Yunwang's note, only those who enter the top three can be taken down the mountain.

When Meng Xiwen once again refined a furnace of Dan, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

This year's top three doesn't seem to be so easy.

Meng Xiwen is not worried about the part of the written test, after all, he has studied it once before, and now he has Chen Zhang's thigh, if he does not perform well again, Meng Xiwen feels that he can drop out of school.

The main part of the difficulty is the operation part, which requires not only knowing the skills, but also practicing. After all, all practical assessments need to be completed within a time limit, and there is no extra time at all. If you don't practice well enough, it's hard to say whether you can complete it within the specified time when the time comes.

Coupled with this group of monsters this year, Meng Xiwen only felt that his head was bigger.

First of all, Fang Zhier, although she doesn't like her, she has to admit that she is really diligent.

Although in this period of national preparation, Fang Zhier looks out of place, looking leisurely and calm. But Meng Xiwen, who was in the same room, knew that Fang Zhi'er's consumption of luminous stones had been particularly large recently.

One day recently, Meng Xiwen always failed in alchemy, and he didn't return to the room until the time had passed, and Fang Zhi'er's bed was still empty at that time.

Since then, whenever I hear Fang Zhi'er say something, the most important thing is to accumulate in ordinary times, and keep a normal heart and so on. Meng Xiwen pretended that he couldn't hear it.

If you think about it, you will be very unhappy to be surpassed by this kind of person.

Meng Xiwen stood up, cleaned up the Dan furnace, and started a new round of practice.

In addition to Fang Zhier, Chen Zhang's thighs also make people feel a lot of pressure.

Since one day, Chen Zhang was asked by a mysterious real person for a private chat, he seemed to have opened up in various practical classes. Although the performance of various operations is not as good as his theory.

But on the whole, Meng Xiwen calculated, three minus one equals two, and there are still two positions to fight for.

In the remaining two positions, Meng Xi let out a long sigh while grinding the medicinal herbs.

I don't know if the people there are any special talents from Lanke and Tiezhu.

Lan Ke's alchemy and iron pillar's refining tools were all praised and praised by real people.

However, I heard that Zheng Tiezhu's ancestor was a blacksmith, which may be the family's talent. What about Ranko?

Meng Xiwen shook his head, preheated the Dan furnace, and put the crushed medicinal herbs into it in order.

First cinnabar, then astragalus, codonopsis, fried atractylodes, and then put the rest of the ginger banxia, this oak grain, cimicifuga, and purple grass together, and finally rootless water. Well, decoction for a quarter of an hour.

In addition to this Lan Ke and Tie Zhu, the Zhao family brothers who came over from Yangping City together are really as good as their names, looming.

The two brothers don't seem to have any special performance in every class, but if you pay a little attention, they seem to be in the first class in every small assessment. This midterm will combine all the previous achievements, and the accumulation of these two brothers should not be underestimated.

Meng Xiwen opened the Dan furnace and skillfully stirred the purified medicinal liquid with a small medicine spoon and spiritual spring water. Actions that were difficult to complete at first can now be made easier.

After purification, now as long as it is heated stably, it is only waiting for Chengdan.

In addition to those who are more familiar, there must be many potential competitors among those who don't know.

Thinking about Fang Zhier's style, Meng Xiwen has reason to believe that there must be Taoguang in this class of freshmen, just waiting for the midterm exam to be a blockbuster.

Meng Xiwen took out the good-looking Qi Gathering Pill in the Dan furnace and threw it into the porcelain bottle.

Why don't you practice refining the Yang Yuan Pill again?
