Po Yuanzong's audition test lasted for three days, and Song Pingcun came to watch for three days. There were children and teenagers from several years old to teenagers, and there were also those who had been there in the past few years. They always felt that they were not doing well enough.
However, Song Pingcun relied on his own judgment and saw that the so-called test, in addition to what Liu Yiyi said, still depends on the body's instinctive reaction.
The information that Mu Ling did not know during the Po Yuan Sect's observation was how to conduct the assessment. The sect did not record or discuss it. It seemed to be a daily activity of the Po Yuan Sect.
The Deacon Hall of the sect is responsible for arranging personnel, the outer sect of the Deacon Hall is responsible for the audition, and the disciples of the Deacon Hall are responsible for the final assessment. Not even an elder came forward, which is somewhat lax.
There is not much difference between Po Yuan Sect and ordinary cultivation sects. The main peak in the middle is the main place for Po Yuan Sect to discuss matters. Halfway up the mountain is the Sutra Collection Pavilion, which preserves the cultivation techniques of Po Yuan Sect.
At the foot of the mountain is the sect's main hall where ordinary affairs are handled. On the left and right of the main hall are the Chuangong Hall and the Deacon's Hall. Behind the main peak of the sect, Jiang Gongfang has two peaks on the left and right, namely Longteng Peak, Huxiao Peak, Fengqi Peak, and Heming Peak. Peak, Medicine Garden is located deep in Fengchi Mountain, and there is only one deacon and real person who are cultivators.
Mu Ling observed for a long time and did not notice any other cultivators appearing in the medicine garden. The place where the soul grass was planted was actually deep in the cave where the real person lived, not somewhere in the medicine garden.
The special point is that there is a vein of Yuanshi from the mountain gate of Poyuan Sect to the main peak of the sect. To ordinary people, it is a priceless treasure, but to a cultivating sect, it is just a weapon-refining material. Moreover, this Yuanshi mineral vein has begun to show a refined state, but the people of Po Yuan Sect don't seem to know the impact of the refined state.
The Yuanshi ore is formed and then refined into Spiritual Stone. The Yuanshi ore in this process is a blood-sucking insect. Of course, if you don't know the cause of these trace changes, you really don't know, and the impact is not very obvious. Because the process of refining the Yuan Stone to the Spiritual Stone often takes tens of thousands of years, no one on Blue Star can record this change.
I don't know how many thousands of years later, this Yuanshi mine may be the largest spirit stone vein on the Blue Star. Mu Ling has not checked how deep and wide the vein is.
Because that is not what he cares about anymore, he just wants to know how to let the young master successfully control the planting land of soul grass.
After the test ends on the third day, those who have passed the test and are notified to participate in the second stage of the assessment must wait outside the city gate early on the fourth day, with disciples from the Po Yuan Sect coming to lead them.
As expected, none of the children who came from Songji Town with Luo Mengkai passed the test. For them, it was more of a novelty and they had experienced something. Luo Mengkai temporarily placed them in Nandu City to wait. .
In the morning, after Liu Yiyi helped Song Pingcun get up, she put a small gown on him. As a "maid", she was no longer as shy as when she first came to Blue Star. She was by Song Pingcun's side almost twelve hours a day. It turned out that The maid at home in Songji Town is basically fine.
"Why is there an extra coat?"
"Sir, you are different from those who participated in the assessment. Judging from the test site, Po Yuan Zong should have other means of testing. You must wear this coat close to your body in the future to prevent accidents." Liu Yiyi said. He called him Young Master, but he didn't dare to be careless at all.
This little gown was originally made for her by the elders of the Fox clan when her cultivation level was still low. It has long been useless, but she never thought that it would be useful now.
If Song Pingcun didn't have sealed memories, he might not agree. At this time, Liu Yiyi could be regarded as "violating" the original requirements set by the Emperor of Heaven, but Liu Yiyi did not care, life safety was the first priority.
"Well, it smells so good!" As soon as he put it on, Song Pingcun's nose twitched and he noticed a faint fragrance.
"Master!" Everything was normal at first, but this sentence immediately made Liu Yiyi blush. Maybe she was used to her own body odor and she didn't notice it at all.
Song Pingcun's sudden words reminded Liu Yiyi that the gown was originally worn by her and had been contaminated with her own body odor over the years. The girl's shyness was immediately provoked.
"Well, I like this smell very much, it seems very familiar!" Song Pingcun didn't seem to notice it at all, still talking to himself. Although the memory is sealed, some instinctive insights and reactions are not in memory, but accumulated over time.
Liu Xiaoqing, the leader of the Fox Clan, is his concubine, and they have been together for hundreds of thousands of years. There is no need to remember this at all.
When Liu Yiyi heard this, she almost softened. She placed her hands on Song Pingcun's chest and forgot that she was still serving the young master to dress.
Until Song Pingcun noticed something was wrong and asked, "Yiyi, are you blushing so much?"
"there is."
Liu Yiyi was shocked to realize that she had lost her composure. Her hand was actually on the Emperor of Heaven's body, and she couldn't suppress the turmoil in her heart.
Luo Kun and Luo Mengkai got up early and rode out of the city in a carriage with their grandsons Luo Tuowei and Song Pingcun, as well as a member of the Luo family who passed the test.
There were already hundreds of people waiting outside the city gate, most of them family members. Only more than a hundred people had actually passed the test.
At exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, several figures passed by from a distance. All the people on the waiting carriages, carts, horses and donkeys all jumped out of the carriages and stood beside the carriages without daring to move.
When they came closer, there was no summons or verification. The leading Poyuan Sect disciple only shouted: "All candidates who have participated in the entrance examination can start running to the gate of Zongmen Mountain to check the list."
Those who had been there had already experienced it, so they said goodbye to their relatives and set off directly, following the leader of a Poyuan Sect disciple and started running. Luo Kun also told Song Pingcun to take care of Luo Tuowei on the way. After all, it was one thing for the fat man to eat, but this fat body was also a burden.
This running is not a competition, nor does it require speed, but everyone is worried that they will fall behind and lose impression points in the eyes of the examiners, so it is not a competition but it is better than a competition.
The nearly 20-mile journey took less than half an hour at a fast pace, but took nearly two hours at a slow pace.
This included Song Pingcun and Luo Tuowei, who almost dragged the little fat man away in the second half. Fortunately, he was already at the peak of physical training, and other assessors might not be able to drag the little fat man to the Poyuan Sect.
No one complained that the real assessment was after 20 miles, and some were even grateful that this "cooking king" had taken the time to recover their physical strength this year.
There were disciples registering and checking their identities in front of the sect. Song Pingcun and Luo Tuowei received the number plates of 112 and 113 respectively.
After everyone arrived, the disciple in charge of the assessment called everyone to assemble in order of their numbers. Song Pingcun glanced around and saw that there were a few unfamiliar faces. They should be candidates like him who were exempted from the audition and directly participated in the second stage of the assessment. Among the 113 people, a dozen candidates are women.
After standing in line, the disciple in charge of the assessment announced loudly: "Listen up, everyone. After entering the sect archway and walking two miles, there is a swamp on the right. You need to pass through the swamp and swim across a pool. Then walk out of the bamboo forest on the other side and climb to the cliff behind the bamboo forest. Before the sunset fades today, I will wait for you on the cliff."
"There will be sect disciples following you along the way, watching you. If you want to withdraw, just raise your hand to signal."
Apart from the traveling route, there are no rules and no rankings. This kind of assessment must be said to be very unexpected.
Luo Tuowei, who was walking at the end, took Song Pingcun's sleeve and said quietly: "Brother, you don't have to worry about me from now on. Grandpa said that I will be selected by the Foreign Affairs Hall. Being able to participate in the assessment is my limit. There is no need to drag it down anymore." you."
Song Pingcun nodded. The deacon named Zhang Kuo had already made it very clear when he arrived at the No. 1 Tian Banquet in Nandu City. The head of the Luo family also meant the same thing at the time. Before, because it was not considered an assessment, he took the little boy indifferently. Fat man moves forward.
Now that the assessment has really begun, and he is not sure what the assessment criteria will be, he has to deal with it carefully. He nodded and said, "Then you should be careful."
Song Pingcun and the more than a hundred children and teenagers who took the examination followed the Poyuan Sect disciples into the mountain gate. After walking two miles, they saw a strange swamp on the right.
It looked too peaceful, like farmland lacking water and full of weeds.
As soon as the presiding disciple started, more than a hundred people rushed in. Only after entering the swamp did they realize that the sludge in this swamp was extremely viscous and difficult to pull out with one kick. Of course, this was also aimed at children. , some taller teenagers are much more relaxed.
Song Pingcun glanced at Luo Tuowei behind him. He estimated that it would be difficult for the fat man to cross the swamp. If he moved forward step by step, his energy would be exhausted before he finished walking through the swamp. He said softly: "Fat man, get out of here."
