Yi Mo and Shi Jingcheng were singing the same tune, cursing at the mulberry tree and the locust tree.
The other disciples looked on coldly. They looked at Ji Tianxing with ridicule, taking pleasure in his misfortune.
Ji Tianxing's face suddenly became gloomy. He stared at Yi Mo and Shi Jingcheng with cold eyes.
"You two only know how to criticize others behind their backs. Do you have the face to criticize others with such despicable behavior?"
"Moreover, today is the end of the month exam. You two are jumping up and down like clowns. Aren't you afraid that you will fail the exam and be laughed at by others?"
Yi Mo and Shi Jingcheng's faces suddenly changed. They stared at Ji Tianxing angrily.
"Boy, who do you think you are? How dare you scold us?"
"Humph! You were locked in the Dark Wind Cave for more than ten days. You still dare to participate in the exam? I'm afraid you haven't even learned how to refine pills! "
"When you fail in refining pills, you will be scolded in public by Deacon Han. Let's see if you still have the face to stay in the Wind Cloud Courtyard!"
Ji Tianxing looked at the two of them from the corner of his eyes and sneered disdainfully, "Hehe, even if my alchemy skills are ordinary, I'm still much better than you two trash who only know how to talk!"
What Yi Mo and Shi Jingcheng were most proud of was that their attainments in alchemy surpassed other disciples.
Being scolded by Ji Tianxing in public, the two were furious. Their faces were ashen.
"Ji Tianxing, you are courting death!"
"Boy! I think you are tired of living! "
When the two of them finished speaking, another two disciples walked into the hall. One of them was Nie Hao.
Nie Hao saw Ji Tianxing and quickly walked over. He greeted him with a smile and asked about the situation with concern.
Seeing Yi Mo and Shi Jingcheng's angry faces, he guessed that the two had a conflict with Ji Tianxing.
Therefore, he patted Ji Tianxing's shoulder and comforted him with a smile: "Brother Ji, don't mind them. Don't ruin your mood."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "That's right. Two mad dogs are randomly biting people. I can't bite back. After all, I'm a human."
Nie Hao chuckled and glanced at Yi Mo and Shi Jingcheng with a playful look.
Yi Mo and Shi Jing's faces were livid with anger. They looked like they were gnashing their teeth, but they didn't dare to do anything on the spot.
After all, Han Qiaosheng and Du Wu had already arrived at the entrance of the hall.
Behind the two deacons, there was a disciple in a green robe following behind them.
When Ji Tianxing saw this person, he was stunned and his face turned gloomy.
Because this green-robed disciple was actually Lu Mingyang!
Han Qiaosheng and Du Wu passed through the main hall and stood at the head seats.
When all the disciples had arrived and quieted down, Han Qiusheng announced seriously, "Everyone knows that Ji Ling has been expelled from our sect."
"From today onwards, Lu Mingyang will join our Wind Cloud Academy. He will cultivate and study with everyone."
Han Qiaosheng only gave a simple introduction. He didn't mention that Lu Mingyang was banished to the outer sect and came to the Wind Cloud Academy.
After introducing Lu Mingyang, he announced, "Today is the last day of the month. It's also the end of the month assessment day for our academy."
"In this month, everyone has meticulously studied the Dao of Alchemy. In a moment, I will examine the results of your studies and see if you've studied diligently."
After saying this, he divided the ten disciples into two rows and sat on opposite sides of the main hall.
Du Wu also took out ten pill furnaces from his black thumb ring and the materials to refine three types of pills. He distributed them to everyone.
When everyone was ready, Han Qiaosheng loudly announced, "From now on, you will refine the Spirit Accumulation Pill, Green Jade Pill and Heart Nourishing Pill. The time limit is four hours."
"If you don't succeed after the time limit, you will be considered a failure. Failure will be punished! After four hours, I will rank you according to the quality of the pills you refine! "
After Han Qiaosheng finished speaking, the assessment officially began.
Ji Tianxing was the same as the other nine disciples. He didn't dare to waste any time. He wholeheartedly immersed himself in refining the pills.
Although he was in a hurry, he wasn't impatient at all.
He first checked and cleaned the copper pill furnace. After removing some of the impurities in the furnace, he activated the True Fire Array inside the furnace.
His palms were pressed against the furnace. He continuously poured his True Essence into the furnace, urging the array to release the True Fire.
After the True Fire stabilized, the furnace was preheated. Only then did he place the herbs into the furnace step by step.
He remembered the steps of alchemy. In his mind, he recalled Xiang Wuji's instructions. He methodically began to refine the Spirit Accumulation Pill.
The other disciples were the same. Their faces were full of concentration and their movements were very fast.
Han Qiaosheng and Du Wu stood at the head of the table. They looked down at the ten disciples and silently observed them.
Time quietly passed. Two hours quickly passed.
After two hours of observation, the two deacons also saw some clues.
Yi Mo and Shi Jingcheng, who were born in a family of alchemy, had the highest attainments in alchemy. Their movements were simple and smooth. It was obvious that they had a lot of experience.
As for the other disciples, although their movements were a bit anxious and clumsy, they had also started. It was obvious that they had studied and practiced.
Ji Tianxing's performance surprised Han Qiaosheng and Du Wu.
The two of them thought that Ji Tianxing, who had been imprisoned in the Dark Wind Cave for more than ten days, wouldn't be able to practice alchemy. It was very likely that he wouldn't be able to pass the assessment.
However, they saw that Ji Tianxing's movements were very skillful. His alchemy techniques and steps were also very clever. It was as if he had been taught by an expert.
The two of them secretly looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
Then, their gazes fell on Lu Mingyang.
Lu Mingyang's expression was a bit anxious. His eyes contained a trace of confusion. He was refining pills while also studying.
Looking at his posture, it was obvious that he had never practiced alchemy before.
However, Han Qiaosheng and Du Wu had already expected that he would perform so poorly. He had just entered the Wind Cloud Courtyard.
The two of them already had an answer in their hearts. In this month's end assessment, Lu Mingyang would definitely be at the bottom.
Unknowingly, the four hour deadline was almost up.
When there was still half an hour until the deadline, Shi Jingcheng was the first to finish refining the third pill.
He finally let out a sigh of relief. He secretly looked at the other disciples. Seeing that they had all finished their tasks, he couldn't help but reveal a smug sneer.
Not long after, Yi Mo also finished refining the third Heart Nourishing Pill. Only then did he raise his head to look at the others.
Seeing that Shi Jingcheng had already finished his task and was looking at him with a faint smile, he couldn't help but frown and reveal a trace of hostility.
It was obvious that the two of them had ignored the other disciples and treated each other as competitors.
After another hundred breaths of time, Ji Tianxing also stopped refining. His face revealed a gratified smile.
Beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. His face was also slightly pale.
After all, in the past four hours, he had used all his strength to refine the pills. His True Essence and mental energy had been greatly consumed.
However, he was certain that the three pills he had just refined were of higher quality than the ones he had refined in the Great Peace Palace yesterday.
