The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, morning.
The Sinong Hall informed that the disciples from each branch participating in the promotion assessment should gather at the Sinong Hall.
As everyone knows, the assessment results are about to be announced.
Everyone hurried to the Sinong Hall and gathered at the steps in front of the Sinong Hall, waiting for the arrival of the deacon of the examination department.
After a while, Deacon Wang walked out of the hall with several deacon disciples.
"Meet Deacon Wang."
Everyone hurriedly bowed to Deacon Wang.
"No need to be polite."
Deacon Wang returned the salute seriously, then took out a scroll document, stretched out his hand to open it, and announced to everyone.
"The master of the palace decrees: Here are Xu Ke and other disciples from the outer sects of each branch. They are diligent in their work, practice hard, and have extraordinary qualifications. They have passed the examination of the merit examination department and will be promoted."
"Xu Ke of Hedongfang, Li Heng of Xishanfang, and Yang Cheng of Qinggangfang are ranked among the top three. They were promoted to be the deacons of the Sinong Palace and were awarded: First Class A."
"Zhang Chaoyi of Pingshanfang... ranked among the top ten. He was promoted to the director of the Sinong Hall and was awarded: first-class and second-class."
"Du Mingsheng of Shigangfang...passed the assessment and was promoted to the director of the Sinong Palace. He was awarded the title: First Class C."
"The headmaster has something to say: If a sect wants to prosper, it should only promote talents. In each branch of our Agricultural Hall, promoting talents should be the top priority and we must not slack off."
"For the above-mentioned promoted disciples, we will order each branch to publish the list to commend them."
After the order was announced, Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
The promotion assessment was smooth and no "unfairness" occurred.
It seems that the Haoyang Immortal Sect is not as "dark" as I imagined, and the "plans" made before have not been used at all.
Moreover, there is no quota limit for this promotion. As long as they meet the requirements, they will all be promoted smoothly.
After thinking about it, Xu Ke also understood.
For the sect, the low-level farming disciples are equivalent to "general workers", while the serving disciples of the Sinong Hall are equivalent to "technicians". The value they can create is completely different.
Therefore, the sect certainly hopes to have as many “technicians” as possible.
"I will obey the palace master's order!"
While Xu Ke was distracted and thinking wildly, everyone bowed and saluted and accepted the palace master's order.
Fortunately, Xu Ke reacted quickly and followed everyone's instructions.
"Congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the assessment!"
After the decree was announced, a smile finally appeared on Deacon Wang's serious face, and he congratulated Xu Ke and others.
"Thank you, Deacon Wang."
Everyone quickly returned the gift and thanked him.
"The sect competition will be held on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. Xu Ke and the three of them need to report to the Sinong Hall on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to participate in the sect competition held on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. Others can wait until after the sect competition and report on their own."
Subsequently, Deacon Wang announced the "reporting" time.
"yes!"
Everyone quickly accepted the order and then dispersed.
The promotion assessment of Sinongdian is over. Xu Ke ranked first in the assessment and was successfully promoted to the serving disciple of the Sinong Hall and awarded the first-class rank.
The whole process went much smoother than Xu Ke expected.
------------------
After the show, Xu Ke met Liu Yongtian and prepared to return to the clubhouse.
"Chirp!"
Seeing Xu Ke coming over, Purple Skylark cheered, flapped its wings and landed on Xu Ke's shoulder, pecking Xu Ke's hair with its mouth, looking very intimate.
"Your Purple Skylark is pretty good. I've been feeding it for a whole day and it's not yet cooked."
Fangzheng Liu Yongtian walked up with a smile.
"Fangzheng..."
Xu Ke stepped forward to say hello, and as soon as he called out "Fangzheng", he was interrupted by Liu Yongtian.
"Call me senior brother!"
Liu Yongtian smiled and said, "You are also a serving disciple of Sinong Hall now, and your status is the same as mine. It is more appropriate to call you senior brother."
"Okay, Senior Brother Liu."
Xu Ke didn't worry too much about the title, and bowed to Liu Yongtian, "Thank you for taking care of me before, Senior Brother Liu. Thank you very much."
"It's all your own fault. I don't care about you."
Liu Yongtian smiled and waved his hand, "No need to say thank you. To say thank you, I have to thank you!"
Seeing that Xu Ke was puzzled, Liu Yongtian explained: "No one has been promoted in Hedongfang for many years. I have been at the bottom every year in the assessment of Sinong Hall. Not only did you get promoted smoothly this time, you also got the first place and was awarded the first grade." Wait. I will take advantage of you for this year's assessment."
"hehe!"
Xu Ke smiled, changed the topic, and asked Liu Yongtian: "Senior Brother Liu, what is the situation of this first-class award?"
"The serving disciples of the Sinong Hall are divided into nine levels, and each level is divided into three levels."
As Liu Yongtian walked, he explained to Xu Ke: "Levels one to three are junior executive disciples, levels four to six are intermediate executive disciples, and levels seven to nine are senior executive disciples. Different levels have different tasks they can take on. It’s completely different from the treatment you enjoy.”
Oh, I understand, this is a "professional title".
Xu Ke nodded and asked: "Then what kind of duties can I, a first-class person, do, and what kind of treatment can I enjoy?"
"First-class A, it can only be said that he started at a higher level than others, but he is still a junior executive disciple."
Liu Yongtian replied with a smile: "You have won the first grade this time. When you report to the Sinong Hall, you will be rewarded. Other than that, it is the same as everyone else."
Oh, I got it.
This is just like if you get first place in the college entrance examination and enter university, you will be treated the same as everyone else.
Xu Ke smiled, it was not bad to have a prize.
"By the way, you will be reporting for duty on the eighth day of the lunar month. Are you going back with me now, or are you going to live here directly?"
Returning to the guild hall and entering the door, Liu Yongtian asked Xu Ke.
"Go back first!"
Of course Xu Ke wants to go back. In the "underground cave" at home, there are still thousands of kilograms of Qianzhong millet, various magic techniques and secrets, even storage bags and thunder cone magic weapons hidden inside.
If you don't go back, if someone discovers you, wouldn't it mean that you are "giving someone a chance" in vain?
"That's right! If you don't return home with wealth, wouldn't it be like walking at night in brocade clothes?"
Liu Yongtian thought Xu Ke wanted to go back and show off.
I really haven't thought about this.
Xu Ke smiled and shook his head without explaining much.
It is only natural for people to go back to their hometown to show off.
Liu Bang even wrote a poem specifically to show off his return home, "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the sea is full of waves and I am returning to my hometown"!
------------------
The two of them went back together, much faster than when the large army was on the road.
Liu Yongtian has a good cultivation level and has already perfected his Qi training. With decades of accumulation, he will naturally have no shortage of flying magic weapons.
After leaving Haoyang City, Liu Yongtian waved his hand and released a palm-sized flying boat. Driven by spiritual power, the flying boat instantly expanded to a size of ten feet.
"Wow...is this a flying magic weapon?"
Xu Ke's eyes shone. This was his first time to have close contact with a flying magic weapon.
"It's just a small boat."
Liu Yongtian smiled and said, "Don't be envious, you will be there in the future. Let's go!"
Immediately, the two people jumped up and landed on the flying boat.
After entering the cabin, Liu Yongtian went to the cockpit at the bow of the ship, took out a medium-grade spiritual stone, put it into the groove of a talisman array, and then fired a burst of spiritual power to activate the talisman array. The flying boat shook and roared through the sky.
"This thing is convenient, but... it's too expensive!"
Liu Yongtian held the rudder with his hand and turned to look at Xu Ke, "You need a medium-grade spiritual stone to start, and you will burn money once you use it!"
Oh, I know better about this!
I can afford to buy a car, but I can’t afford to burn gas, I understand!
Xu Ke laughed dumbly.
