During the remaining two months of the year.
After Xu Yuxiu stabilized his cultivation, he devoted a lot of time to the research of intermediate formations.
During this period, she also developed a method to hide her cultivation.
That is the technique of compression.
She applied this compression technique to her own spiritual power.
At first I just wanted to try it, but it turned out to be really useful.
So, she compressed the spiritual power in her Dantian in this way.
But her spiritual power is inherently pure, and it is very difficult to compress it.
After trying for more than two months, she was finally able to compress only a small amount of her spiritual power.
On this day, Xu Yuxiu was meditating in the room.
I could see that the aura around her body was suddenly strong and weak, hovering between the third level of Qi Refining and the fourth level of Qi Refining, with no definite attribute.
Finally, at a certain moment, the aura around her body became completely stable and settled on the third level of Qi Refining.
Only then did she open her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally, I have suppressed my cultivation to the third level of Qi Refining!"
At this moment, there was a knock on her door.
"Yuxiu, are you awake?"
Shen Fengjiao's voice came from outside the door.
Xu Yuxiu stood up and went to open the door, and saw Shen Fengjiao standing in front of the door.
"Today is the one-year assessment day for our new disciples. I saw that there was no movement in your room. I was afraid that you would forget, so I came over and called you."
After hearing Shen Fengjiao's words, Xu Yuxiu remembered.
The cultivation targets issued by the sect to the outer disciples are not just words. When the one-year deadline is up, they must be assessed and tested.
"Well, thank you for reminding me, I really almost forgot."
Shen Fengjiao was a little speechless, "Then let's leave quickly. If we are late, it will be bad if we are not allowed to take part in the assessment!"
Xu Yuxiu nodded.
Immediately, the two set off to the new disciple assessment site.
The assessment for new outer sect disciples takes place in a wide square.
When Xu Yuxiu arrived, many people had already gathered here. At first glance, it looked like a sea of people.
Among them, there seemed to be some handyman disciples.
This made Xu Yuxiu a little curious.
"Yuxiu, Fengjiao, why are you here?"
At this time, the fat man Wang Fugui, Wu Ming and others came over.
Wang Fugui said: "The assessment will start soon. If you come a little later, you will lose the opportunity to take the assessment and be directly demoted to a handyman disciple!"
Hearing this, Xu Yuxiu was frightened for a while, but luckily Shen Fengjiao came and called him.
Otherwise, if you miss the assessment time and be directly demoted to a handyman disciple, you may not have anywhere to cry.
"I heard that among our outer disciples this time, there are some extraordinary ones. They actually broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining in one year!"
Wang Fugui said again at this time.
"Fourth level of Qi training!" Shen Fengjiao looked surprised, "How come they practice so fast?"
Wang Fugui shook his head, "What else can I do? They just hugged me!"
Having said this, he couldn't help but pause in his words, and there seemed to be a strange look on his face.
Xu Yuxiu was curious, searched among them, and asked, "Have you seen Li Xiaolian?"
As soon as she said these words, everyone fell silent and looked a little ugly.
"Yuxiu!"
At this moment, Li Xiaolian's voice came from the crowd.
Xu Yuxiu raised his eyes and saw Li Xiaolian walking over from the crowd.
There were just a few strangers beside her.
Only when she came in front of a few people did Xu Yuxiu feel the aura on her body.
Fourth level of Qi training!
"Yuxiu, I have reached the fourth level of Qi training, what about you?"
Li Xiaolian came over and asked Xu Yuxiu, with a proud smile on her face, as if she was showing off.
Xu Yuxiu frowned slightly, "I have only cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining."
"Ah, how could it be possible? Yuxiu, didn't you reach the second level of Qi Refining very quickly? Why did it take you so long to reach the third level of Qi Refining?"
Li Xiaolian sounded surprised, but with a smile on her face, "Yuxiu, why don't you come with me..."
"Li Xiaolian!"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wang Fugui, "If you want to be someone else's slave, don't hold Yuxiu back!"
"Wang Fugui, I'm thinking of an old relationship and just want to help you. Don't speak so harshly. I'm the guard of Senior Brother Zhao from the inner sect, not a slave. Please keep your mouth clean!"
Li Xiaolian suppressed the smile on her face, and her tone became a bit colder, "Just because you don't want this opportunity, doesn't mean Yuxiu doesn't want it either. Yuxiu, what do you think?"
After saying that, she turned her attention to Xu Yuxiu.
Hearing her words, Wang Fugui, Shen Fengjiao and others looked at Xu Yuxiu nervously.
"Yuxiu!" Shen Fengjiao pulled her big skirt.
Xu Yuxiu ignored it and looked at Li Xiaolian.
She felt that Li Xiaolian now had become completely strange.
She is even less interested in becoming the guardian of the inner disciples as she said.
Cultivation not only requires resources, but more importantly, a heart to practice Taoism.
Knowing this, Xu Yuxiu shook his head and refused: "Sorry, I don't like to rely on others."
"I thought you would have a longer-term perspective, but I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted."
Li Xiaolian's face turned cold, "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. But when we meet again in the future, you have to call me 'senior sister'."
"Let's go!"
After that, she waved her hand and left with the people following her proudly.
"Bah, it's still Senior Sister!"
Wang Fugui snorted disdainfully, "I won't even call her senior sister to death!"
Soon, the assessment began.
Xu Yuxiu no longer cared about this matter.
After all, it was Li Xiaolian's own choice, and she had no right to interfere.
At this time, a group of deacon disciples appeared and began to maintain order in the square.
Behind them, high up in the square, there were several figures with powerful auras. They were the sect deacons in the foundation-building period.
They were the ones presiding over this assessment of the new outer sect disciples.
After all the disciples quietly divided into many teams and lined up neatly, the assessment officially began.
A deacon disciple stood up and announced loudly: "This assessment is divided into three parts, cultivation, spiritual consciousness, and magic. The assessment begins now!"
With his announcement, ten towers rose.
All disciples were divided into ten teams and went to ten high platforms for assessment.
Each high platform has a foundation-building deacon in charge.
Xu Yuxiu was in the middle of the queue, and she looked at the high platform in front of her.
The person in charge of their team was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe.
The assessment is also very simple and crude.
As soon as the first disciple came on stage, the middle-aged deacon said: "Release all your cultivation consciousness!"
The tone of his voice was full of impatience.
It’s like wanting to finish the test quickly and leave.
The truth is pretty much the same.
In the opinion of the middle-aged deacon, the assessment of these outer disciples can be left to the deacon disciples, and they do not need to come in person at all. It is simply a waste of his time.
He was still thinking about the jade pill refined in the pill furnace, and he didn't know if the medicine boy was optimistic about it.
"If you have passed the cultivation of spiritual consciousness, go there and release your magic!"
Following the directions of the middle-aged deacon, the disciple came to a stone wall.
Immediately, I saw the disciple gathering his spiritual power, and a faint yellow light lit up between his palms.
Motes of dust were condensed into his hands, covering his palms.
When his palm was completely covered with dust, he suddenly slapped his palm and hit it on the stone wall.
There was only a muffled sound, and a faint palm print appeared on the stone wall.
"You passed!"
The middle-aged deacon only glanced at him and waved his hand for the disciple to retreat.
After the disciple learned that he had passed, he was originally very happy, but when he saw the impatient look of the middle-aged deacon, he suppressed the joy on his face, lowered his head and walked off the stage.
The next thing is done by the deacon disciples.
The deacon disciple made a few ticks on the disciple's identity token and returned the identity token to him.
At this point, this disciple can be regarded as a true outer disciple.
