The black-faced young man was eliminated at the beginning of the second round of the test. The handymen in the audience were both relieved and worried.
After the black-faced youth was eliminated, the next three people were also eliminated one after another, and everyone in the audience gradually became nervous.
"You, I'm talking about you, it's you, it's your turn, come up quickly, why are you dawdling!" Elder Ye pointed at a young man in the audience who was looking around and shouted.
The young man was Lin Yang. He was as depressed as he wanted at the moment. He lined up at the end of the queue so as not to attract attention. Unexpectedly, several people at the front of the queue were eliminated one after another. The scene was not pretty. Elder Ye Then change the order and go on stage to test from back to front. After this change, Lin Yang was about to go on stage to test it.
After finding three spiritual herbs, Lin Yang became the first person to pass the second round of testing. If he couldn't find three spiritual grasses, Lin Yang would be eliminated. Lin Yang didn't like to accept either outcome. Therefore, when Elder Ye pointed at him, Lin Yang deliberately looked left and right to avoid Elder Ye's sight.
But Elder Ye obviously would not change his mind again and kept urging Lin Yang, and his face gradually became displeased. Elder Tie next to him also began to frown. Lin Yang knew that he could not delay any longer. He knew very well that if he angered the grumpy Iron Elder, there would be no good results.
Lin Yang bravely stepped onto the stage, saluted Elder Tie, Elder Ye and Ma Tao one after another, and then approached the table to inspect the spiritual herbs in the jade box.
Three of the spiritual herbs in the ten jade boxes are the main medicine for refining the Huiyuan Pill. The other seven spiritual herbs are very similar in appearance to these three main medicines of the Huiyuan Pill, with only slight differences. The content of the second round of assessment is to find these three spiritual herbs.
If Lin Yang hadn't personally refined the Huiyuan Pill a few days ago, he might not have been able to find the right one among the three spiritual herbs. After looking at the ten spiritual grasses, he immediately determined the answer. However, he frowned and looked around among the ten spiritual grasses, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes sighing, looking like he had no clue.
The time for one stick of incense was quickly passing, and Lin Yang was still comparing himself to ten spiritual herbs.
"Boy, if you don't write down the answer quickly, you will be considered eliminated." Elder Ye's tone was not kind, but he reminded him with good intentions.
Lin Yang then hurriedly walked to the side of the table and picked up the pen, but his hands were trembling and he was reluctant to put down the pen. There was even more sweat on his forehead.
"If you don't write it quickly, I'll throw you down!" Elder Tie's voice was harder than iron.
Lin Yang gritted his teeth, as if he was taking a gamble, and finally put down his pen and wrote down three numbers.
When the servant disciples in the audience saw Lin Yang's expression and movements, they thought that Lin Yang was blind. The probability is only a few hundred. If you want to blindly pass the test, you need incredible luck. No one is optimistic about Lin Yang, and they are all waiting for Elder Ye to announce that Lin Yang is out.
Elder Ye walked to the table and took a look, his expression was obviously startled. He seemed to not believe his eyes, because Lin Yang's answer was actually correct.
"Three spiritual herbs were successfully selected and passed the second round of testing!"
As soon as Elder Ye announced the results, there was an uproar on the stage.
"This kid's luck is incredible!"
"He must have gone out to step in dog poop!"
"You can pass the test blindly. My luck has always been good. If I can't find it later, I'll try blindly too!"
…
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Lin Yang.
Elder Tie and Ma Tao also stared at Lin Yang, with incredible meaning in their eyes.
"Your name is Lin Yang?"
Ma Tao finally recognized Lin Yang and asked in a deep voice.
"Lin Yang, a disciple of the Miscellaneous Peak, has seen Palm Peak!" Lin Yang bowed to Ma Tao and responded respectfully.
"You are very good. You should work hard in the third round of testing and strive to join the outer sect. Then I would like to ask the elders of the outer sect to give you three vitality pills. If you are lucky, you can embark on the path of Yuanxiu, and maybe you will have a chance to succeed. Not an impressive achievement." Ma Tao's tone was sincere. He had somewhat disapproved of Lin Yang's decision to go to the Miscellaneous Peak. After all, Lin Yang at least still has one Ming Vein. Although it is Guyang's short-lived Tiangan Vein, even if the two Earth and Kun Veins fail to activate in the end, he still has a chance to become Yuan Xiu.
Ma Tao believes that young people should be energetic, motivated, and not give up on themselves. He thinks that Lin Yang came to take the annual exam at Miscellaneous Peak because Lin Yang has awakened and wants to work hard.
"Thank you Zhang Feng for your encouragement, I will work hard." Lin Yang felt Ma Tao's kindness and responded respectfully.
After Lin Yang stepped off the stage, he went to the flowers and waited. The second round of testing continued.
As the sun set, the second round of testing finally came to an end. Of the fifty disciples from the Handyman Peak, only twenty passed the second round of testing.
"The last round of the annual exam is about practical alchemy. Whether you can become an outer disciple depends on this. I will give each of you a prescription for the Huiyuan Pill and the steps and essentials for refining the Huiyuan Pill. There is only one portion of all the spiritual herbs needed for the elixir. Those who can refine the elixir into shape within an hour will become my outer disciples of the Danxia Sect. Now, receive the spiritual herbs and start refining the elixir." Elder Ye announced. After the third round of testing the rules, he ordered people to distribute spiritual grass to Lin Yang and other servant peak disciples.
After the spiritual grass was distributed, the twenty disciples of the Handler Peak who passed the second round of tests were then led into the alchemy rooms to prepare for the alchemy. However, everyone was carefully searched before entering the alchemy room. Except for the spiritual grass used to refine the Yuan Dan, no other items were allowed to be brought in.
A piece of spiritual grass requires refining a molded elixir, and the person being tested is a disciple of the Handler Peak who has never refined an elixir before. This requirement is not too high. Lin Yang spent a full twenty portions of spiritual grass to refine a waste pill of recovery pill. He only needed one portion of spiritual grass to refine the shaped elixir. This requirement can be said to be very strict.
What makes people feel a little more humane is that the third round of testing requires formed elixirs, which means that even the waste elixirs of Huiyuan elixir can pass the test. However, for a novice in alchemy, even if he can refine the Yuan Hui Dan and the Waste Pill, he is still a genius with excellent alchemy talent.
After passing the search, Lin Yang and others entered their respective alchemy rooms. There is an unwritten rule for alchemists to make alchemy, that is, no one should be around, firstly to avoid being disturbed and distracted, and secondly, to prevent others from stealing the skills.
After twenty disciples from the Miscellaneous Peak entered the alchemy room, the alchemy room was closed, leaving them alone.
After Lin Yang entered the alchemy room, he did not dare to relax at all. He took out the elixir recipe and the essentials and steps of alchemy, and followed them step by step according to the requirements recorded above. In his heart, he hoped that he could refine the elixir and pass the examination. of.
There is always a gap between ideals and reality. In less than half a stick of incense, the alchemy furnace suddenly shook violently, and then with a bang, the lid of the alchemy furnace was almost blown off.
"It's over! It's useless again." Lin Yang lamented, then extinguished the ground fire, opened the alchemy furnace, and saw only a black ball of elixir residue left in the alchemy furnace.
Lin Yang was completely disappointed with his alchemy talent. He shook his head, and then with a thought, the Tianhe Gourd appeared in his hand.
In the Tianhe gourd, Lin Yang placed a Huiyuan Pill and Waste Pill in advance.
Lin Yang took the Huiyuan Pill Waste Pill out of the Tianhe Gourd, carefully put it into the pill furnace, and carefully covered the pill furnace.
After doing all this, Lin Yang estimated the time and found that there was still half an hour before the end of the test. He had nothing to do, so he sat cross-legged next to the alchemy furnace and practiced the "Huntian Dafang Jing".
Time passed slowly, and the alchemy rooms were opened one after another. The disciples of the Handyman Peak who came out of the alchemy rooms were all dejected. They all failed without any accident.
Ma Tao sat upright with a serious look on his face, because in this year's annual exam, his performance in the handyman peak was obviously not as good as in previous years.
Elder Tie and Elder Ye seemed to have expected this result. After the third round of testing began, they closed their eyes to rest and calm down.
In fact, before each annual exam, the outer sect will conduct a ranking of the handyman peaks. There are probably a few people who can pass the examination and become outer sect disciples. They have already known it in their hearts. If they estimate that there will be more people who will take the annual exam to become outer sect disciples in that year, the number of outer sect elders who will come to preside over the annual exam for the handyman peak will also be greater. If they estimate that there will be fewer people, the number of outer sect elders who will come to preside over the annual exam will There will also be fewer elders.
This year, for the handyman peak annual exam, the outer sect only sent two elders, which was the smallest number ever. According to the accurate news that has been circulated, the outer sect determines that no one in the handyman peak will be able to pass the annual exam this year. Of course Ma Tao also heard the news, but he didn't believe in evil. He didn't believe that people in the outer sect could know more about Zaoyi Peak than he did. He believed that many of the disciples in Zaoyi Peak had the opportunity and strength to enter the outer sect. .
However, as each of the disciples from the Miscellaneous Peak failed to make alchemy and were eliminated, of the twenty disciples from the Miscellaneous Peak who participated in the third round of the test, only six were left who were not eliminated, and these six had not yet left the alchemy room. After they came out, the outside world knew nothing about their current situation.
Ma Tao became a little anxious, because every year in the annual examination, the number of talents that the handyman peak provides to the outer sects is related to his performance as the master of the handyman peak to a certain extent.
Soon, another alchemy room was opened, and a handyman peak disciple ran out of the alchemy room happily. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "It's done, my elixir has taken shape, I will do it right away." I’m going to become an outer disciple.”
Ma Tao's brows widened. As long as one person could become an outer disciple in this year's annual exam, he would have an explanation for the senior leaders of the sect.
"Don't be too hasty to be happy. Once it's confirmed that the elixir is in shape, you won't be too late to be happy again!" Elder Tie scolded the disciple of the Handler Peak when he saw that he was so proud that he forgot his form.
Elder Ye also entered the alchemy room at the same time. After a moment, he walked out with a dark face. He scolded the disciple of Fengfeng who couldn't restrain his joy: "I made a piece of alchemy." The older elixir scum actually thought that he had refined the formed elixir. I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen anyone as stupid as you. I really don’t know how a pig like you passed the first two rounds of tests. of."
The smile on the handyman peak disciple's face froze. He turned red with embarrassment, and then burst into tears.
"You're stupider than a pig, but you still have the nerve to cry! If you're embarrassed, get out of here!" Elder Tie spoke without mercy.
The handyman peak disciple covered his face and ran away, shouting as he ran: "It's too hurtful. I will never take the annual exam again."
Ma Tao's face suddenly darkened. He originally wanted to curse a few words, but he couldn't curse when he saw the miserable look of the handyman disciple who couldn't stop the tears from pouring out even though he covered his face with his hands.
Another person was eliminated, leaving only five people. Ma Tao was already worried, and all his attention was focused on the five alchemy rooms that had not yet been opened.
Suddenly, another alchemy room was opened, and a dejected man walked out of it, obviously failing.
Immediately afterwards, the three alchemy rooms were opened one after another. Without exception, these three disciples from the Handler Peak also failed. It was a pity that they failed, and the elixir was almost ready to take shape.
At this moment, no one has passed the third round of testing, and only one person is still being tested. Everyone, including Ma Tao, believed that the entire Zayufeng army was annihilated just before their eyes.
In the last alchemy room that had not yet been opened, Lin Yang was still sitting cross-legged next to the alchemy furnace. He was completely unaware of the situation outside and was still practicing on his own.
An hour has passed, and everyone outside is looking eagerly at the last alchemy room that is still closed. However, there was no movement in the alchemy room.
"What kind of bastard boy are you doing, why are you still staying in there when the time comes? Why don't you get out quickly? If you don't come out, you will be considered a failure even if you refine the elixir!" Elder Ye used his Yuan Power to transmit his voice into the elixir. inside the room.
When Lin Yang heard the sound, he immediately came back to his senses from practicing and shouted: "Here we come!" Then he hurriedly opened the alchemy room and rushed out.
"It's you again!" After the second round of testing, Elder Ye was deeply impressed by Lin Yang. When he saw Lin Yang coming out of the alchemy room, he could recognize him at a glance.
"I've caused you trouble." Lin Yang kept smiling in apology. If he was really judged to be eliminated, he would probably cry to death.
Elder Ye glared at Lin Yang, and then stepped into the alchemy room.
Soon, Elder Ye came out of the alchemy room, holding an elixir in his hand, which was the Huiyuan Dan Waste Pill that Lin Yang put into the alchemy furnace.
"How did you make a furnace of pill slag and a waste pill?" Elder Ye's face was full of questions.
"Elder, I don't know either. I almost exceeded the test time just now just because I was looking for a reason." Lin Yang pretended to be aggrieved.
"You almost exceeded it! You clearly exceeded the test time." Elder Ye handed the elixir to Elder Tie.
After Elder Tie carefully examined the elixir, he looked at each other and Elder Ye, and finally nodded.
Elder Ye looked at Lin Yang again and asked, "What's your name?"
Lin Yang was looked at by Elder Ye with scorching eyes, and felt nervous for no reason. When he was about to answer, Ma Tao spoke first: "His name is Lin Yang, he is a new disciple of the Handler Peak."
