Chapter 14

of the assessment begins! The effects of the spiritual veins!

After everyone disembarked from the Dharma boat.

The square was packed with people, numbering at least four or five thousand.

The magic boat started up again, carrying the cultivators from the second floor, soaring into the sky and heading straight into the Immortal Academy.

Disappear.

"Stop looking."

A deep voice rang out, "As long as you perform well in the Immortal Hall, you will have the opportunity to enter the Immortal Academy every year."

Lu Yun looked in the direction of the sound.

Five monks in yellow robes appeared in the center of the square.

One of the middle-aged men, with a weathered face, smiled and spoke:

"Welcome to Dongxian Hall, little ones. We are your guiding senior brothers from the Immortal Academy Sect. Just call me Senior Brother Liu. We will be in charge during the assessment period."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Liu, fellow senior brothers and sisters!"

Lu Yun shouted along with the surrounding crowd.

Senior Brother Liu waved his hand, signaling them to gather around.

"This assessment is divided into five courtyards. Those with golden immortal seals, follow me; those with red seals, follow her; those with green seals, follow him..."

After saying that, he took out the Bagua compass and manipulated it.

Instantly, the ascension seals of everyone in the square lit up with various colored lights.

"We are all gold."

Lu Yun and the others exchanged glances and followed Senior Brother Liu.

The colors seemed to be divided according to the city, and the people of Purple Heart City followed Senior Brother Liu.

Lu Yun noticed that the Immortal Ascension Seal at Wang Yue's waist was also gleaming with golden light.

The two looked at each other.

We loathe each other and feel nauseous.

Lu Yun looked away, pinched his nose, and followed Senior Brother Liu.

Fortunately, there were nearly a thousand people, and they were far apart.

"Among you, there will definitely be quite a few who will be eliminated."

Senior Brother Liu talked as he walked.

"The path to immortality is fraught with peril. With every step forward, countless people fall. Spiritual roots, talents, resources, temperament, and fortune are all indispensable."

"We won't say much today. Let's all choose our accommodations first, and then meet at the Chengfa Hall tomorrow."

He led everyone into an assessment courtyard marked "Number Three".

Pointing to the surrounding clusters of stone chambers.

Lu Yun looked around the courtyard.

The ground is paved with neat bluestones, covering an area of ​​more than 500 meters in circumference.

Several buildings are scattered in the center, some of which are named Chengfa Hall, Lingshi Hall, and Lingcai Hall.

The stone walls surrounding their chambers also served as courtyard walls.

The stone chambers all had their doors open, and each chamber was about ten square meters in size.

The stone table, stone bed, and stone chairs were as simple as could be.

"Stay in the Stone Chamber is free during the assessment period," Senior Brother Liu said.

"If you don't like it, just rent a small courtyard or a spirit house outside."

After saying that, he turned and strode away.

They were left alone, a thousand people staring at each other in bewilderment.

They each sought out familiar people to huddle together for warmth, and dispersed in twos and threes.

Most of the young men from aristocratic families left the assessment courtyard, clearly dissatisfied with the stone chamber.

A small number of people also chose the stone chamber directly.

"Let's find a spot first, then we'll go check out the outside."

Lu Yun, along with Qin Yue and Shen He, occupied three interconnected stone chambers.

Then I went out for a walk.

Along the way from the square to the compound, there are many courtyards hidden in the woods.

The environment is much better than the stone house.

He still had twenty-three spirit stones on him, leaving thirty for Uncle Shen and the rest.

In addition, the secondhand robes that were taken from Shen Xuan were not sold.

Renting a courtyard is not a bad idea.

......

Night falls.

In the No. 3 assessment courtyard, lights were lit in each of the stone chambers.

After Lu Yun, Qin Yue, and Shen He finished their meal at the Spirit Food Hall, they each returned to their respective stone chambers.

Each person in the Spirit Food Hall can get a pound of spirit rice for free every day, which is quite good.

The bedding was laid out on the stone bed.

Lu Yun sat cross-legged in the stone chamber, circulating his true energy to try and understand the differences between this place and Purple Heart City.

It's not that we can't afford to live in a courtyard or a shrine; it's that a stone chamber offers better value for money.

The courtyard is just a simple courtyard, without any spiritual energy.

Three spirit crystals are needed per month.

They also went to see the spirit palace where the array was set up.

There is a spirit-gathering array that draws in spiritual energy from the veins, so the spiritual energy is abundant.

The price is also very reasonable, five to ten spirit stones per month.

This is outrageous!

Lu Yun decisively gave up; the stone chamber wasn't uninhabitable.

I haven't figured out the assessment rules yet, so it's best to save up some spirit stones.

The Immortal Hall contains a spiritual vein, and its spiritual energy concentration is much higher than that of Purple Heart City.

After one cycle, the Qi Sea gained three strands of true Qi.

"good."

He did some mental calculations.

One hour is eight cycles of the heavens, which is twenty-four strands.

In Purple Heart City, one can eat spirit rice and cultivate using true methods, but only thirty-three strands of it can be consumed in an hour.

Over time, the difference becomes terrifying.

"If we rent a spirit palace, the effect will definitely be stronger; breathing and exhaling will be like eating spirit rice."

Lu Yun suddenly thought of something.

Sense the divine favor.

[Lingtai Guanji: The Method of Illuminating the Elixir with a Thousand Threads of Illusory Flame (Third Grade 386/1000)]

"The progress of the alchemical method has increased slightly!"

Lu Yun was pleasantly surprised.

Each week of practice increases the amount by one point.

This means that after circulating the energy for more than 600 cycles, or more than 70 hours, one can be promoted to the fourth rank.

Although I don't know how long ago it was increased a little.

But it's definitely not a week-long day or a little bit.

Otherwise, he would have perfected the Qi-cultivation technique after five years of practice.

"Perhaps it is the principle of Heaven rewarding diligence, which not only improves progress but also provides permanent proof, ensuring no regression."

Lu Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

When I broke through to the third level of Qi Refining the day before yesterday, I took a pill that greatly increased my true Qi, which significantly reduced my control over the Qi Absorption Technique.

With the belief that "Heaven rewards diligence," this problem seems unlikely to arise.

"Try the Body Tempering Technique again."

An hour later, he had mastered the basics of the technique.

[Lingtai Guanji: Sacred Blood Tempering Technique (Beginner 1/100)]

"Truly blessed by Heaven."

Lu Yun sighed.

After consuming a pound of spirit rice, he fully activated the "Holy Blood Tempering Technique," further enhanced by the spiritual energy of the Immortal Workshop.

The true energy continuously nourishes the flesh and blood, leading to rapid improvement.

Two hours passed.

child time.

[Lingtai Guanji: Sacred Blood Tempering Technique (Beginner 33/100)]

"The effect is that obvious?"

Lu Yun felt the vigorous blood and energy within his body.

My condition is better than ever before.

The body tempering technique at the beginner level can be circulated for one cycle in five or six minutes.

The effect is not as good, but the speed is faster.

I could clearly feel that my strength had increased significantly.

If he were to fight Shen Xuan again, he was confident he could take him down with just two punches and a kick.

It was already dark outside.

The No. 3 examination hall fell completely silent, with only the sound of soft snoring audible.

"How did you manage to sleep?"

Lu Yun shook his head.

Continue eating spirit rice and practicing the Body Tempering Technique.

[Lingtai Guanji: Sacred Blood Tempering Technique (Beginner 93/100)]

Night is about to break.

Lu Yun, who was constantly monitoring the progress, frowned.

"It slows down after ninety."

"It takes four or five cycles of circulation to improve even a little."

"Could it be a bottleneck?" He stared at the number.

"interesting."

"Break it tomorrow."

Thinking about it, he got into bed.

The blanket wrapped itself tightly around itself.

My body is full of energy and blood, but I feel a bit tired.

The sky outside the window was already turning white.

He visualized the illusory flames of his ancestral aperture and fell asleep.

As dawn broke.

Shen He's knocking woke him up.

After washing up, Lu Yun rubbed his eyes and pushed open the door.

Visualizing a virtual flame while sleeping can help with mental recovery; the optimal amount of sleep is two hours.

I only slept for an hour today.

"Brother Yun, you didn't spend the whole night cultivating, did you?" Shen He asked, looking at his slightly tired face.

Lu Yun was about to say no.

I suddenly remembered the effect of playing the role of "Heaven rewards diligence".

He changed his story, saying, "I didn't sleep all night, I only slept for about half an hour."

Shen He: "..."

She felt betrayed.

Qin Yue had just pushed open the door when he heard these words, and his mouth dropped open.

He was excited for quite a while last night after feeling the abundant spiritual energy in the Immortal Abode.

But thinking about going to the Chengfa Hall the next day, I went to bed early.

I never expected that Brother Lu would cultivate all night.

"No wonder she won the favor of Master Yingyue."

Qin Yue secretly made up his mind, "Brother Lu is my role model, I'll stay up all night tonight too."

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Lu Yun felt that the phrase "Heaven rewards diligence" had gained a glimmer of light.

Thoughtful.

He took out the "Tai Xu Fu Qi Jue" and held it in his hand.

He looked like he was studying it very carefully.

He was always engrossed in his book.

Qin Yue and Shen He were somewhat puzzled.

Lu Yun smiled but didn't explain.

The three followed the flow of people all the way to the Chengfa Hall.

His constant reading made him stand out from the people around him.

Many people glanced at the loading area.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Yun, he immediately dared not say anything more.

"Brother, could this be the reason he won the favor of Fairy Yingyue?"

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the shrewd young man who had been observing Lu Yun.

Extraordinary people doing extraordinary things must have a profound meaning behind it.

"I don't think so. He might be reading a storybook." The honest-looking young man scratched his head.

"It's too shallow, too shallow..."

The shrewd young man shook his head and continued to observe.

Who wouldn't want to gain the favor of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
