There were four main tests in the Inner Sect Examination.
First, cultivation.
Second, comprehension.
Third, immortal skills.
Fourth, Dragon Gate.
Féquy was not tall, only about one and a half meters. With his round body, fat head, and big ears, he looked like a pig, which was very funny. Especially when he was smiling, it was really … wretched.
"Originally, only disciples who have reached the fifth stage of the Xiantian Realm are qualified to take part in the Inner Sect Examination. Although Young Master has a mutated body and failed to build the Foundation, the Sect does not stipulate that a mutated body cannot take part in the Inner Sect Examination. The chief examiner is Elder Rende. He is a very upright and fair senior. I am confident that I can persuade him."
"I remember that the chief examiner has always been Elder Rende. When did it change to Elder Rende?"
Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment and did not have any recollection of this name. However, since it was Rende, he should be a disciple of the same generation as Huo De and Elder Mude.
"Hehe … speaking of which, it's quite a long time ago. And it's quite fun …"
Féquy seemed to have thought of something funny and could not stop laughing. He said, "Young Master, you must have heard that King Chixiao used to be a handyman in our Yunxia School, right? At that time, King passed the examination, but he was rejected by Elder Mude on the grounds that his Spiritual Root was not good enough. Later, King became famous and shocked the world. Elder Mude also became a laughing stock and was called a blind man. So … since then, Elder Mude no longer had the face to be in charge of the examination. "
"Really? I didn't expect that."
Gu Qing Feng shook his head and smiled. He felt that this was quite interesting, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember who Ren De was. He asked, "Then what about Elder Ren De?
"Elder Rende is the senior fellow apprentice of Huo De. He is also the Executive Elder of Yunxia School. Everyone in the Qingyang Region knows that he is a highly respected senior. He is upright, fair, and selfless. He has a lot of prestige in Yunxia School. It is also because of him that Jin De and Shui De dare not be too presumptuous these years."
Gu Qingfeng heard from Huo De that Yunxia School was divided into three factions. One was Jin De, one was Shui De, and one was neutral. The neutral faction that Huo De mentioned should be Rende.
"In the past, as long as the disciples of Jin De and Shui De were arranged by Yunxia School, they could enter the inner core smoothly. However, since Elder Rende took over the examination, this kind of thing has never happened again. Elder Rende is wholeheartedly considerate of Yunxia School. He is very strict with many things, especially the inner core disciples. He checks them personally every time. Even if the disciples are personally selected by the Executive Elder, they can't enter without his permission."
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng more or less understood. No wonder that old man Huo De insisted that he do things according to the rules. It turned out that there was such a selfless person like Rende watching over him.
"Immortal Arts will be tested during the examination. I know that Childe's musical attainments are excellent, but after all, musical attainments are too rare. Just in case, the old man asked me to bring you a few cultivation methods."
As he spoke, Féquy took out a few secret books from the storage bag and handed them over. He said, "One is martial arts, one is magic, and one is tactical … These are the cultivation methods of Yunxia School. They will be tested during the examination. The old man asked you to practice them when you have nothing to do?"
As the old man Huo De's confidant, Féquy naturally knew the old man's plan. He also knew why the old man asked this childe to participate in the examination.
He knew.
He knew everything.
But the only thing he didn't know was this childe's identity.
He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand why the old man would find such a person to compete for the position of Crown Prince.
Yes.
He couldn't figure it out, especially since this childe had a useless Foundation Establishment body.
What he couldn't figure out was that during the inner sect examination, these cultivation methods would be tested for immortal arts. Since the old man asked him to give these cultivation methods to the childe, it meant that this childe had never practiced them before. In other words, he wanted him to start practicing them today? Wouldn't it be too late?
There were only a few days left until the next inner sect examination.
What could be done in a few days?
Did the old man expect this childe to master these cultivation methods in a few days?
Was that possible?
Even if he could master them, it wouldn't work!
During the examination, one of the cultivation methods had to be cultivated to Small Success.
It would take at least a few years to cultivate them to Small Success, right? Even if his comprehension was high, it would still take a few months. Looking at the thousand-year history of Yunxia School, it would take at least six months to cultivate these cultivation methods to Small Success.
And now, there were only a few days left until the next inner sect examination …
This …
Why did the old man ask him to give these cultivation methods to this childe?
He didn't know.
Féquy thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. But one thing was for sure. Since the old man did this, there must be a reason.
He had also asked about this childe's identity, but the old man only said one word to him: ancestor.
As for why ancestor.
Féquy didn't know either.
Gu Qingfeng took the cultivation methods and looked at them casually. Then he threw them into the storage bag and said, "When is the examination again?"
"There is an examination every month. There are five days left until the next examination."
"Okay, I got it. You can go back. I'll be there in five days."
Since he had decided to help Huo De, Gu Qingfeng would naturally do his best. He also took advantage of the five days to cultivate properly.
…
Cultivation was without time. Five days passed in a flash.
The beginning of every month was the busiest day in Yunxia School.
Because everyone knew that the inner sect examination was held at the beginning of every month.
If one passed the examination, he would become an inner sect disciple of Yunxia School. It was an honor. Although many outer sect disciples didn't want to, they had to accept the fact that only inner sect disciples were true disciples of Yunxia School. As for outer sect disciples, they were at most nominal.
Once one became an inner sect disciple, not only did he not have to pay tuition every month, but he could also enjoy the treatment of an inner sect disciple. Every month, he could receive the corresponding cultivation resources such as elixirs and spiritual stones. Most importantly, only when one became an inner sect disciple could he be apprenticed to a master.
Apprenticing to a master was very important on the road of cultivation. Everyone wanted to be taught by a master.
Although there were also masters in the outer sect who taught cultivation, they were "public" masters. There were more than 10,000 outer sect disciples. Even if they encountered a problem in cultivation, not only did they have to line up, but they also had to give benefits. Even so, it depended on the master's mood.
Outer sect disciples were very miserable.
Everyone wanted to become an inner sect disciple.
Unfortunately, the requirements to become an inner sect disciple were too high.
Every month, many disciples applied for the examination, but only a few passed. Sometimes, there were more than 100 disciples, but none passed. In a year, there were 12 examinations. It was considered good if 10 disciples could be promoted.
