In the blink of an eye, Qin Lang had been in the Mystic Saint Palace for two months.
In these two months, Qin Lang didn't leave Yueling Mountain at all. This was because Qin Lang couldn't fly at all with his current cultivation. At least on the surface, he had to do this. After all, he was only a five-year-old kid, Gu Qingxun's follower and servant.
However, Qin Lang finally had the chance to leave Yueling Mountain. This was because it was time for the Mystic Saint Palace's annual disciple assessment. This was the most important "celebration" in the Mystic Saint Palace. All disciples had to participate, including the outer sect disciples.
As a first-rate sect in the Ancient Kunlun World, the Mystic Sacred Palace naturally had very strict rules. As the saying went, one couldn't accomplish anything without rules. Even the arrogant Gu Qingxun didn't dare to violate the rules of the Mystic Sacred Palace, even though she was the daughter of the current Mystic Sacred Palace Sect Master.
Gu Qingxun wasn't worried about the other disciples of Yueling Mountain at all. Since they cultivated every day, they should have a high chance of passing the assessment. Even if they didn't pass, they deserved it. Gu Qingxun didn't care about such small things. However, she cared more about whether Qin Lang could pass the outer sect disciple assessment. After all, Qin Lang was her root and servant. In a sense, Gu Qingxun treated Qin Lang as a playmate, although she didn't think so. Moreover, Qin Lang often peeked at her bathing.
Therefore, the night before the disciple assessment, Gu Qingxun called Qin Lang to her courtyard and solemnly threw a few elixirs to Qin Lang. "Take all of them and eat them! Tomorrow is the disciple assessment. Don't embarrass me! "
"But I don't know anything." Qin Lang pretended to be confused.
"You don't know anything? You know how to use your fists and legs, right? Useless! " Gu Qingxun snorted. "After eating these spiritual pills, even if you're a pig, your cultivation will still be higher than the other outer sect disciples. If you still can't pass the assessment, I'll personally kick you out of the sect! "
"Alright, then I'll give it a try." Qin Lang said with some difficulty.
"It's not a test, it's a must!" Gu Qingxun said, "In any case, if you can't pass the test, I'll kick you out of the sect myself! Also, here are two cultivation techniques for you to take a look. These are cultivation techniques for inner disciples. You're lucky! "
As expected, Gu Qingxun took good care of Qin Lang. After all, Qin Lang knew how to tell good stories, amuse others, and even act shamelessly. This made Gu Qingxun rather happy. After all, she hadn't had such an interesting playmate like Qin Lang in the past. However, Gu Qingxun didn't know that Qin Lang wasn't a "little white rabbit", but a "big bad wolf".
Qin Lang obtained the spiritual pills and the cultivation techniques. Although these were all methods of spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm, it could be considered a "cheat". According to Qin Lang's knowledge, if a disciple of the Mystic Sacred Palace wanted to obtain a superior-grade spiritual pill, they had to make contributions to the sect. Therefore, it was very difficult for outer sect disciples to obtain spiritual pills. They could only try their best to curry favor with inner sect disciples or even sacrifice their bodies.
Of course, in the immortal sects, sacrificing one's body wasn't considered a sacrifice. It was called "dual cultivation". This was something that was very beneficial to both parties. It could be said that both parties were taking what they needed. Therefore, it was obvious that Qin Lang's cultivation had improved after obtaining so many spiritual pills. It would be strange if his cultivation didn't improve. Therefore, in order to show that these spiritual pills were still useful, Qin Lang also improved his cultivation a little.
The assessment of the disciples of the Mystic Sacred Palace was nothing more than a way to monitor the improvement of the disciples' cultivation. If they performed well, they would naturally be able to obtain more cultivation resources from the sect. Some outer sect disciples could even be promoted to inner sect disciples. As for the inner sect disciples who performed well, they had the chance to be promoted to core disciples or true disciples. On the other hand, if their performance was average or their cultivation didn't improve, they might be eliminated and receive fewer resources. Or, they would be selected by the sect to be an official in a secular dynasty and indirectly serve the sect.
Although the disciples selected to be sent to a secular dynasty could enjoy a high position and be rich, they were just eliminated in the eyes of immortal cultivators. They couldn't be seen in public at all. That was because the high position and wealth would only last for a few decades or a hundred years. How could it be compared to the longevity of immortal cultivators?
All in all, the assessment of the disciples was something that all sects had to do. Of course, a formal sect like the Mystic Sacred Palace couldn't do without it. Even a "second-generation immortal" like Gu Qingxun had to participate in the assessment.
As for Qin Lang, since he had the title of an outer sect disciple, he naturally had to participate in the assessment. Although Gu Qingxun had given Qin Lang a lot of spiritual pills, Gu Qingxun couldn't directly interfere with the results of the assessment. Therefore, she especially reminded Qin Lang to take the assessment seriously and not embarrass her. Otherwise, she would teach Qin Lang a lesson when they got back.
However, as a five-year-old brat, Qin Lang naturally couldn't show off too much. After all, he was only a child from an ordinary remote mountain village. Moreover, he had just entered the sect not too long ago. If he were to show off too much, it would instead be somewhat abnormal. Well, it wasn't just abnormal, it was simply too abnormal.
"Are you also an outer sect disciple participating in the assessment?" When Gu Qingxun brought Qin Lang to the venue for the Outer Sect Disciple Assessment, an elder of the Mystic Saint Palace took a good look at Qin Lang and felt rather surprised. That was because the Mystic Saint Palace was a major sect, and it was not easy to get a spot as an Outer Sect Disciple. It was impossible to take advantage of the situation and make up the numbers.
"My name is Ah Lang, and I'm from Yueling Peak," Qin Lang said to the elder.
"Yueling Peak? Oh. " The elder responded. He roughly understood how Qin Lang became an outer sect disciple. Perhaps he felt that Gu Qingxun was messing around, so he gave Qin Lang the quota of an outer sect disciple. However, the elder then shook his head because he felt that it was too difficult for a little kid like Qin Lang to pass the assessment. Moreover, he might even lose his life!
In the eyes of ordinary people, Immortal Cultivators were existences that could travel thousands of miles, chase after the sun and moon, and live a carefree life. However, in reality, ordinary people didn't know the harshness of the Immortal Cultivation Path.
For example, the assessment for the outer sect disciple of the Mystic Sacred Palace had three stages:
