Chapter 133 The Assessment Begins

In the inn room, Xu Feng gritted his teeth and put the last stroke on the talisman paper.

This first-level mid-grade talisman seal has fifteen rune circuits. With his current level of cultivation at the fifth level of Qi refining, he needs to go all out to succeed every time he draws it.

This is also the reason why his success rate has not been improving.

But this time he was lucky. Before his Dantian ran out of mana, he successfully outlined all the rune circuits and got a finished Thunder Flame Talisman.

In the market, there are still many low-level first-level talisman makers. A monk can succeed as long as he practices hard and has a little talent and luck.

However, the number of first-level mid-level talisman makers has been greatly reduced, because the higher the level of the talisman seal, the higher the test and requirements for the talisman makers.

Xu Feng thought to himself that although he was still unable to draw any kind of first-level high-grade talisman seals, his level should be the best among first-level mid-level talisman makers.

Therefore, he is still very confident about the upcoming talisman making assessment.

Even if a first-level high-grade talisman maker appeared, he was not afraid at all, because the old shopkeeper told him after he returned from visiting the Jiugong Sect's foundation-building monks.

This assessment mainly evaluates two parts, one is level and the other is potential.

Even though his level is not as good as others, his potential is not just bragging, it is definitely the best among his peers.

Being able to draw first-level mid-level talisman seals and being able to draw high-level first-level mid-level talisman seals are two completely different concepts. The gap is definitely as high as four or five floors.

When he had just put the drawn talismans into his storage bag and was about to meditate to restore his mana, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

Of course Xu Feng knew who the visitor was, because today was the time for the assessment to begin. With a slight thought in his mind, all the tools for making talismans disappeared as soon as he touched them.

"Old shopkeeper, are we leaving now?"

"We're leaving in two hours. I'll see if you're ready?"

"We're basically ready. It's just that the mana used to draw the talisman was too much. Now it needs to be restored. Old shopkeeper, please come in and sit for a while."

"No, I won't disturb you for now. I'll come back later."

After seeing off the old shopkeeper, Xu Feng sat cross-legged on the floor and began to absorb the abundant spiritual energy in the room to restore his mana.

When the departure time arrived, he didn't wait for anyone to call him, put on the plain white robe that Luo Xinran and the others carefully prepared for him before departure, and walked straight out of the door.

I happened to see many young monks walking out of other rooms, all of whom were taking part in the Talisman Making Skills assessment.

Xu Feng and the others were the first ones to arrive, and the other monks who arrived later were simply arranged here by the monks from the local stronghold of the Jiugong Sect.

Basically, these people had never met each other before. After looking at each other, they did not say hello and went directly to find their leading monk.

Xu Feng didn't need to. The old shopkeeper lived next door to him. Others were not so lucky because they arrived late.

In the blink of an eye, more than forty people left the inn in a mighty manner and headed straight to the place where the assessment was held.

...

Qufeng Pavilion, private room on the second floor.

Xu Feng and other examinees have been waiting here for half an hour.

The old shopkeeper and the others were invited to have tea as soon as they arrived here, saying that they were afraid that they would affect the assessment process.

In fact, this is a euphemism. If I put it more directly, I am afraid that they will cheat.

After another long time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a middle-aged monk with a majestic expression came in. He walked up to the people on the futon without saying a word, and then said in an emotionless tone:

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first. My name is Xiang Xiong, a foundation-building elder of the Nine Palaces Sect, and also the deputy master of the Fu Pavilion. I will preside over this assessment.

Let me first declare here that the sect attaches great importance to this assessment, which is why I was sent here. Therefore, I hope that all of you can treat it seriously. If I find someone who is committing fraud, I will make him regret appearing here. . "

The person who came first introduced himself, and then gave everyone a warning. At the end of the speech, it seemed that he was trying to scare them.

The terrifying consciousness of the foundation-building stage came directly and overwhelmingly towards them. In less than three breaths, there was not a single monk in the room who could still sit upright.

"Is this the terrifying strength of the foundation-building monks? Without taking any action, just the pressure of divine consciousness left the Qi-refining monks unable to fight back!"

Xu Feng was completely shocked. It's no wonder that everyone wants to become a foundation-building monk. The ability to instantly kill Qi and refine it has endless temptation.

Although he looked a little embarrassed when he fell to the ground, his eyes were very hot, staring at the figure standing in front of him motionless.

At this moment, he vowed more than once in his heart that he must become a foundation-building monk, for sure!

"Okay, the ground is really cold. Get up quickly. Are there going to be exams later?"

After displaying his power, Elder Xiang's tone changed significantly.

After they sat on the futon again, the assessment officially began.

"Starting from my left, from left to right, and from front to back, you will be tested in order. The one in the blue robe, you follow me first.

The others will stay in the private room and wait for the summons. They are not allowed to move around without authorization, let alone take a step out of this place. Do you hear me clearly? "

"Clear!"

After answering loudly, Elder Xiang left with the monks who were undergoing the assessment.

The remaining monks in the room had not recovered from the show of power just now, and they all sat there waiting to be called.

Originally, Xu Feng thought that the assessment should not be too fast. There were 25 people in the room, so it would take several days.

But what he didn't expect was that the first person finished the assessment very quickly.

Because a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining standing at the door poked his head inside and pointed at the second cultivator in the front row from the right and said:

"Come out, it's your turn."

At this moment, less than three quarters of an hour had passed since the first cultivator left. Everyone was very curious about what happened and started to guess in their hearts.

Xu Feng was no exception. He thought that the Taoist friend who was ranked first in the assessment should have made some mistakes and was eliminated.

But when the name of the third cultivator was quickly called, he knew that he had guessed wrong, which made him even more curious about what happened.

As he watched the number of monks in the room decrease, he became more and more anxious, and suddenly he felt the same pressure and tension as when he was about to take an exam in his previous life.

Soon, the monk at the door pointed at him. Xu Feng stood up, straightened his robes, and walked out of the room.

"Did you see it? Go straight ahead from here, turn right at the end, and the first room is where you will be tested. Go ahead!"

"Thank you for your advice."

After respectfully bowing, he followed the instructions and came to a room that was not closed, and then walked in directly.
