Han Yuan peered into the crowd, listening to the whispers of people around him. "I heard that Yang Yuanyang, the genius from Courtyard No. 1, has reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining. If it weren’t for strengthening his foundation, he would have broken through long ago. It seems that he will be the champion of this session!" Han Yuan looked over there. The so-called Yang Yuanyang was wearing a fiery red dress and his hair was also red. Standing in the sun, his clothes seemed to be burning, like a king of fire, full of style. Han Yuan said inwardly:"Awesome, awesome, this is a genius! It is indeed extraordinary!" "What is Yang Yuanyang? Nangong Zhuiyue knows him, right? I heard that he is the descendant of a big boss in the sect, and his cultivation is also at the peak of the third level of Qi Refining, and he has also cultivated a yellow-grade wind-attributed attack spell." Han Yuan looked to the other side, and saw a young woman with a beautiful face and cold as ice. She was surrounded by green wind, forming circles of wind rings, like an elf in the wind, which made Han Yuan secretly shocked. He listened to some more discussions and discovered more than ten powerful outer disciples in succession. All of them were geniuses in the No. 1 courtyard of Bingzi. Their cultivation had all reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining, and each of them was unique. Qin Feng stood beside Han Yuan and saw those outer disciples with unique temperaments. He couldn't help but envy and said,"These so-called geniuses are just one step ahead of others because they rely on their deep backgrounds and abundant resources. If I had the same resources, I would have been able to break through the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining long ago!" Han Yuan nodded in agreement. Qin Feng noticed his actions and said disdainfully:"Forget it, your aptitude is too poor. If you are given the same resources, you may not even reach the third level of Qi Refining."
Han Yuan shrugged. Anyway, when the test comes, Qin Feng will shut up. He is a real cultivator in the early stage of the third level of Qi Refining, and his realm is the same as Qin Feng. The eldest brother will not laugh at the second brother! ""It's him!" Hu Yifan snorted disdainfully. Han Yuan glanced at him and whispered,"Shut up!" Hu Yifan saw Han Yuan's calm eyes. He wanted to say something sarcastic, but he seemed to be choked for a moment and dared not say anything. When Han Yuan turned his head away. Hu Yifan finally realized that he was frightened by Han Yuan? He was angry and ashamed, and he disliked Han Yuan even more! He had caused him to offend Wu Chao before, and now he embarrassed him again. If he didn't retaliate, he would not be named Hu. When he was about to fight back, a figure suddenly appeared on the stone platform in front. A middle-aged man appeared on the stone platform with his hands behind his back. He looked at all the disciples coldly and said,"Everyone, be quiet!" A voice spread throughout the square, suppressing all the voices and making everyone feel suffocated. All of a sudden, everyone quieted down and looked at the middle-aged man in awe. "Lei Jiuxiao, the head of our External Affairs Peak, is fully responsible for this annual test of the outer disciples' cultivation. All disciples, according to their outer courtyard names, still come for the test!" "The first batch of testers, Courtyard No. 24! Come on stage immediately!" Han Yuan looked to the right. The disciples of Courtyard No. 24, led by the deacon, walked onto the stage in an orderly manner. The twenty outer disciples all lowered their heads and looked very upset. Han Yuan understood that Courtyard No. 24 was at the end of the outer sect, and it was estimated that none of them could reach the third level of Qi Refining. The twenty outer disciples came in front of Lei Jiuxiao and saluted one by one. "Meet Master Leifeng!" "Well, you all go to the test instrument one by one, insert your identity token into the instrument, stay for three breaths, and then leave!"Lei Jiuxiao reminded "yes!" ""Let's start!"
So, under the gaze of countless people, the last person in the ranking took the lead in starting the test. He gritted his teeth and came to a magic weapon that looked like a mirror, and inserted his identity token into the socket next to the mirror. Then he stood in front of the mirror and paused for a moment. When a white light appeared on the mirror, a few lines of text appeared. 【Name: Yan Guangming】 【Status: Outer Disciple】 【Affiliation: Courtyard No. 24】 【Realm of cultivation: Qi Refining Level 1 Upper Middle】 【Spiritual power quality: medium-low] (The grades are divided into: low-low, low-middle, low-upper, medium-low, medium-middle, medium-upper, upper-low, upper-middle, upper-upper) Lei Jiuxiao's face darkened:"You are only at the first level of Qi Refining. You don't need to come to the outer courtyard next year. Go to the miscellaneous courtyard!" The disciple named Yan Guangming directly drew out the token, covered his face and fled from the stage. There was a burst of laughter from the stands on both sides and the audience. "Haha, there are actually outer disciples who have been still at the first level of Qi Refining for two years, and their cultivation is only at the upper-middle level of the first level of Qi Refining, not even at the upper-upper level!" "Not to mention his cultivation, the quality of his spiritual power is even more exaggerated, it's only average, I don't know how many pills he took! Even so, he hasn't broken through the second level of Qi Refining yet, it's also top-grade!" There was no lack of ridicule around Han Yuan. What these people said actually made sense. Those who could enter the outer gate in advance were all of middle-grade qualifications. Han Yuan was the worst of the middle-grade five-element spiritual roots. He himself had broken through to the second level of Qi Refining before swallowing the pill. This guy has been playing around for the past two years! After this top-grade tail, the remaining disciples finally reached at least the second level of Qi Refining. But in the entire Twenty-Fourth Academy of Dingzi, no one reached the third level of Qi Refining, not even the second level or above! The entire Twenty-Fourth Academy was wiped out, but everyone had expected it. On the two stands next to them, some experienced disciples said,"For an annual inspection like this, you don't need to take a second look at it at the beginning. It's only when you get to around the tenth of Dingzi that you can see something to look at. The rest are garbage!" So, many people ignored the test on the stage and instead looked for disciples with outstanding talents in the crowd. Liu Sisi also looked around the crowd casually and suddenly saw a familiar person. "Hey, it's the owner of Xiao Wangcai. He sent a pile of straw two days ago. What's his name?" Liu Sisi stared at Han Yuan carefully for a few times, but still couldn't remember it in the end."I don't know if Xiao Wangcai has gained weight again!" Liu Sisi seemed to have thought of something, and his throat moved. The little sister next to her saw Sister Liu staring at a man and swallowing her saliva, her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something shocking, and she could n't help but secretly look at Han Yuan. Han Yuan was standing in the corner, waiting for the cultivation test boredly, which was out of tune with the extremely nervous atmosphere of the people around him. "What should I do? My spiritual power should have increased or decreased, but I’m worried that the quality of my spiritual power will drop to average. This will definitely lower my evaluation!" "I regret it. Since I cannot reach the third level of Qi Refining, it is better not to use too many pills, which will affect the quality of spiritual power. A higher quality of spiritual power can also improve the evaluation!"
"I originally wanted to break through to the third level of Qi Refining. Cultivation is still the most important thing in evaluation, and the quality of spiritual power is secondary. Unfortunately, I didn't break through the third level of Qi Refining. In this way, the quality of spiritual power becomes important again." Several people around were sighing. Zhao Donglai was sitting cross-legged as if no one was around. He seemed to be practicing to purify his spiritual power. He was not afraid that others would disturb him and go crazy. Han Yuan shook his head lightly. What's the use of cramming at the last minute? Anyway, he is in the early stage of the third level of Qi Refining. No matter what, he has passed! Time passed in a flash. Testing cultivation is actually very fast. Not long after, he has arrived at the Dingzi 18th courtyard and is about to arrive at the Dingzi 17th courtyard. Up to now, there is not a single disciple at the third level of Qi Refining. All six courtyards have been wiped out. It's really a scene of mourning. Han Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Cultivation is difficult. ""People from Courtyard No. 17, get ready to go!" A loud voice was heard in Han Yuan's team. Zhao Donglai, who was practicing, was affected by the voice and seemed to have lost his breath. He suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the people around him looked at him in astonishment. Zhao Donglai hurriedly stopped practicing, his face gloomy, but he didn't dare to say anything to Master Lei Feng on the stage. "Almost there, almost there! Obviously, I am almost there, and I can break through the third level of Qi Refining! One step slow, every step slow, I am not willing to accept it, I really am not willing to accept it!"Zhao Donglai bit his lip tightly, and looked at Han Yuan and Hu Yifan with gloomy eyes. These two people are not good guys. Han Yuan noticed his glance and was speechless. Why is Zhao Donglai looking at him? He didn't steal Zhao Donglai's things. Hu Yifan didn't look nervous, as if he had already won. Qin Feng held his head high and chest out, not paying any attention to what others thought. He snorted softly at Han Yuan with a confident look on his face. Han Yuan walked behind the crowd calmly, his mind had already drifted to the newly bought spells. A group of people went on stage in a weird atmosphere. Lei Jiuxiao saw the people from this courtyard and couldn't help but take a few more glances. Based on his experience and intuition, he felt that this courtyard���It's time to ship, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. His eyes looked obscurely at the clouds high above the Zawu Peak, where the peak masters or deputy peak masters of the fourteen peaks of the Dishen Sect were actually watching the ceremony. The annihilation of the six academies before had already put him under great pressure. Although these outer disciples have low cultivation levels and a cultivation level test is insignificant, these outer disciples with middle-grade qualifications are actually the backbone of the entire sect in the future. There are very few top-grade geniuses and they have already joined the inner peaks. The lower-grade talents are useless and no one cares about them at all, so the outer disciples with middle-grade qualifications are the most important source of blood. Therefore, they are actually very concerned by the higher-ups, and maybe even the sect master will come to watch occasionally. If no talent comes out, his position as the peak master of Zawu Peak will be over. Thinking of this, Lei Jiuxiao coughed and said,"Hurry up, hurry up!" "Yes!"
The disciples of Dingzi No. 17 Courtyard came forward to take the test one by one. The disciples who were not sure had already accepted their fate and hurried forward to take the test and quickly stepped down. The disciples who were somewhat sure were obviously a few steps behind. Soon, there were only four people left on the stage, Zhao Donglai, Hu Yifan, Qin Feng, and Han Yuan! Hu Yifan said to Zhao Donglai:"Brother Zhao, please go first!" Zhao Donglai glanced at the people behind him, and without thinking much, he walked forward, came to the mirror, and inserted the token. A flash of light appeared, and the words 【Name: Zhao Donglai】 【Status: Outer Disciple】 【Affiliation: Courtyard No. 17】 【Realm of cultivation: Qi Refining Level 2, Upper】 【Spiritual power quality: medium to high】 "Huh?" Lei Jiuxiao let out a light exclamation, his expression looked better,"Not bad, your cultivation is not bad, you are almost able to break through the third level of Qi Refining. You can break through after practicing for a few more days after returning, which is not bad! It's a pity that you didn't get the reward because you were a little short. Here is a Soul Gathering Pill as an encouragement to you!" Lei Jiuxiao casually threw a small porcelain bottle to Zhao Donglai. Zhao Donglai showed a long-lost look of joy on his face:"Thank you, Master Lei Feng!" Lei Jiuxiao nodded and waved his hand to signal Zhao Donglai to leave. Then he set his eyes on the three people behind him. If they dared to stay behind Zhao Donglai, they should have some skills. Hu Yifan glanced at Han Yuan in surprise. Han Yuan ignored his gaze. Hu Yifan raised his eyebrows and secretly called him a fool. If he ranked behind Qin Feng, his cultivation level would not reach the third level of Qi Refining by then, which was equivalent to fooling Lei Jiuxiao. Let's see what Han Yuan will do! Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward. At this time, Qin Feng also looked at Han Yuan strangely. This kid, is he not clear about the unspoken rules of the cultivation level test? He thinks that those with high cultivation level are ranked behind. If he finishes the test of the third level of Qi Refining, and Han Yuan lags behind, he has not reached the third level of Qi Refining, which will definitely annoy the peak master. Hey, isn't this better? If this kid dares to approach Senior Sister Liu, he will give him a taste of his own medicine. He is ready to take the test first. When Hu Yifan stood in front of the mirror, Lei Jiuxiao was indeed more looking forward to it. A flash of white light 【Name: Hu Yifan】 【Status: Outer Disciple】
【Affiliation: Courtyard No. 17】 【Realm of cultivation: Qi Refining Level 2 Upper Middle】 【Spiritual power quality: Top】 "Hmm, quite interesting!" Lei Jiuxiao also praised this time,"Your progress in cultivation is not bad. The key is that the quality of your spiritual power can actually reach the top grade. You did not rush to take pills to improve your cultivation in order to grab the reward of the third level of Qi Refining. Instead, you took one step at a time, refined your spiritual power, and have a good character. You deserve a reward. I will make the decision and reward you with two Soul Gathering Pills!" Lei Jiuxiao threw a slightly larger porcelain bottle to Hu Yifan. Hu Yifan quickly took it and said in surprise:"Thank you, Master Peak Master!" It's not that he didn't want to take the elixir, it's just that he didn't have the spirit stone, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! Zhao Donglai, who had just stepped down, was also a little surprised at Hu Yifan's performance. This flatterer and sower was actually a man who practiced hard with perseverance? It was really ridiculous! Even Han Yuan looked at Hu Yifan with a new eye. If this man could change his bad habit of cheating others, he could become an immortal. Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, and while Han Yuan was surprised, he was already standing in front of the mirror. Lei Jiuxiao couldn't help but look at Qin Feng, with even more expectation in his eyes. Qin Feng lived up to his expectations. When he inserted the token, the mirror emitted a red light, which made people's eyes bright. 【Name: Qin Feng】 【Status: Outer Disciple】 【Affiliation: Courtyard No. 17】 【Realm of cultivation: Qi Refining Level 3 Lower Middle】 【Spiritual Power Quality: Upper and Lower] The appearance of the red light suddenly made the scattered people raise their heads, with surprise on their faces. "Finally, a disciple at the third level of Qi Refining appeared!" "Hey, has someone in Dingzi No. 17 courtyard actually reached the third level of Qi Refining? The quality of this year's disciples is quite good. Last year, the first person to reach the third level of Qi Refining appeared in Dingzi No. 15 courtyard!" "Your name is Qin Feng, right? That's pretty good. Those ranked behind you generally have lower qualifications, but you can break through the third level of Qi Refining. Obviously, you have outstanding comprehension, physique, perseverance and other aspects!" Everyone talked about it and praised Qin Feng highly. Qin Feng naturally held his head high and faced everyone with a faint smile on his face. This is the reward for his hard work for two years! Lei Jiuxiao laughed:"Not bad, not bad, your name is Qin Feng, right? According to the rules, if you reach the third level of Qi Refining, you can get three Soul Gathering Pills as a reward. In addition, if you rank in the top ten, you can get the treatment of an inner disciple in advance. If you rank in the top fifty, you can also get additional rewards. I hope you will keep up the good work!" ""Yes!"
Qin Feng took the pill from Lei Jiuxiao and smiled. He had a name in Lei Feng Master's office. In the future, he would have a chance to get better tasks and better guidance from Lei Feng Master. This would be better than pills! When he stepped down, he glanced at Han Yuan and gave him a gloating expression. At this time, Lei Jiuxiao looked at Han Yuan with more expectation and said,"Disciple, it's your turn!" His tone was very gentle, much better than his previous attitude. At this time, because of the commotion caused by Qin Feng, most people in the stands also paid attention to him, and the focus of the audience was on Han Yuan. Han Yuan was very calm. He was also at the third level of Qi Refining. What was there to panic about? So he walked to the mirror.
