It must be said that the physique of immortals is strong. Even if such a big explosion occurred, everyone only had some superficial injuries.

Of course, there was only one exception.

Scar brother was hung up, and Li Ritian whipped him with a whip, whipping him so hard that the wind whistled. While whipping him, he cursed: "Little bastard, you can't even forge a piece of Sun God Stone, fuck your grave!"

Scar brother was whipped to pieces and begged for mercy, but he didn't dare to tell the truth. He could only take the blame silently, otherwise, the truth would become even bigger.

Zhang Ye entered the forging workshop with a look of surprise: "What happened?"

Everyone talked about it, and Zhang Ye suddenly realized it and ran to Li Ritian: "Master Ritian, it's all my fault. I had a stomachache at that time. Please punish me."

Li Ritian had a high level of cultivation. Although he was not injured by the explosion, he was black all over. He had some complaints about Zhang Ye. After all, the spiritual treasure was about to be completed, but it failed at the last minute. But Zhang Ye said so, he couldn't blame others for shitting, right?

Li Ritian took a breath: "Xiao Zhang, don't blame you, blame this ignorant thing, he is usually very capable, but he can't even handle a piece of Sun God Stone!"

Li Ritian became more and more angry, and whipped Scar Brother a few more times with a whip.

Scar Brother was beaten to pieces, but he stared at Zhang Ye with a resentful look.

Zhang Ye couldn't bear to see this scene, so he said to Li Ritian: "Master Ritian, please stop beating me. Your hands are sacred hands used to make spiritual treasures, how can you use them to beat people?"

Zhang Ye's words made Scar Brother stunned, but Scar Brother thought in his heart, even if you plead for me, I will not let you go, humph.

However, Zhang Ye changed the subject: "So you take a break, I will help you."

Zhang Ye couldn't bear it, because he couldn't bear to see Li Ritian sweating profusely.

Scar Brother was confused, and Li Ritian thought that this little Zhang was very considerate. Just when he was tired of beating him, he handed the whip to Zhang Ye: "Then you will have to work hard."

"It's not hard for me to work for Master Ritian." This was the truth. Zhang Ye took the whip and whipped Scar Brother with a snap.

Scar Brother's eyes were wide open, but Zhang Ye whipped him back with a whip. The fierceness was so strong that even Li Ritian felt sympathy.

"Xiao Zhang, that... is almost enough." Li Ritian begged for mercy, but Zhang Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled honestly: "Master Ritian, I am not tired!"

Li Ritian was a little confused. I am not saying whether you are tired or not, but I want you to stop beating me. But he couldn't say it out loud, so he had to watch Zhang Ye beat Scar Brother.

In fact, it is not Zhang Ye's fault that he hit hard. Scar Brother has repeatedly tricked Zhang Ye. If Zhang Ye was not more skilled, it would be Zhang Ye who would be hung up and beaten now. Zhang Ye welcomed the open attack, but Zhang Ye hated the stabbing in the back. Therefore, Zhang Ye wanted to teach Scar Brother a lesson to deter the villains.

Scar Brother pretended to be a tough guy at first. When Zhang Ye hit him, he didn't even hum. His eyes stared at Zhang Ye like a venomous snake, but later, Zhang Ye beat Scar Brother with affection before he stopped.

"Master Ritian, Lingbayijiu said he knew he was wrong, please forgive him?" At last, Zhang Ye reported back and said hypocritically.

Li Ritian looked at Scar Brother's inhuman appearance, and his anger subsided. After all, I had been ready to let it go, but you refused to forgive him, right?

However, as the furnace master, Li Ritian did not need to say these polite words, and nodded: "Okay, let's end this matter here."

It was just time to get off work, Li Ritian and other furnace masters left with their hands behind their backs, leaving the apprentices to clean the forging workshop.

The apprentices would not exclude Zhang Ye because of his cruelty, but would be more awed by Zhang Ye because of his cruelty, and they jumped in front of Zhang Ye one by one, flattering him.

Scar Brother's two followers did not dare to look at Zhang Ye, and tremblingly let Scar Brother down from the rope.

Zhang Ye took a look, and thought that Scar Brother and his group knew how powerful they were, so he ignored them and prepared to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

But just after taking two steps, Scar Brother's voice came: "Zhang Ye, thank you for not killing me today."

The tone was resentful, and it was clear that he was speaking in a sarcastic way, which was a direct challenge.

"You're welcome." Zhang Ye didn't even look back and strode away. Zhang Ye had nothing to say to this stubborn guy.

Two more days passed, and the day of the apprentice assessment was coming. The apprentices studied day and night, and dared not say that they would compete for the only position of the furnace master, mainly because if they failed the assessment, they would be kicked out and become a scattered immortal.

For immortals like them with weak cultivation, being an apprentice in Lingbao Division is barely a person, but if they leave Lingbao Division, they are not even a dog, so they cherish this hard-won apprentice opportunity.

Deacon Wang found Zhang Ye: "What are your plans?" Of course, he asked about the apprentice assessment.

Zhang Ye told the truth: "I plan to become the furnace master."

Deacon Wang said with a dark face: "Tell you, I won't help you to use the back door."

"I don't plan to use the back door either." Zhang Ye believed that he would make a splash in the apprentice assessment.

Deacon Wang snorted coldly: "It's not as easy as you think!" Although he said so, he looked very satisfied and strode away.

The apprentice assessment has three subjects. The first subject is the text test, which tests the theory; the second subject is the material processing, which tests the basics; the third subject is the refining of spiritual treasures, which tests the actual combat.

Scores are based on performance in each subject, with a total score of 300. If the three subjects are completed and the total score is less than 150, they will be kicked out of Lingbao Division; and this year's first place, as long as the total score exceeds 280, will be directly admitted as the furnace master, so the apprentices are even more excited. Enough energy.

Soon, the day of the apprenticeship assessment officially arrived.

In the past, apprentices either helped in the forging workshop or did odd jobs in other departments, so it was difficult to gather. On the day of the assessment, there were hundreds of apprentices sitting in the examination shed. Are these all the apprentices of Lingbao Division?

It is indeed difficult to stand out among hundreds of people and become the leader. Of course, this is for others.

Brother Scar, who still had some bruises on his face, was fine and could take the assessment. He looked at the worried-looking apprentices with confidence and couldn't help but think so.

However, when he saw Zhang Ye sleeping on the table and drooling, Brother Scar's belief was a little shaken. Even if Zhang Ye had some ability, he shouldn't be so calm, right?

However, Brother Scar quickly regained his confidence. Even if Zhang Ye had a good foundation, he would definitely lose to himself in the process of creating a spiritual treasure. After all, he had never seen Zhang Ye create a spiritual treasure.

Brother Scar summed up the reason why he was defeated by Zhang Ye, and that was because he thought too highly of him. Brother Scar has made up his mind to pass the test and defeat Zhang Ye. When he becomes the leader, he will let Zhang Ye serve him tea and water, and humiliate him severely. There will even be no consequences if he is beaten to death by then.

Except for Zhang Ye and Brother Scar, the apprentices seized the last moment to review. After all, the first subject was a written test. There were too many things to memorize by rote. To sharpen the gun before the battle, it would be sharper if it was sharpened a little more.

Not long after, a deacon from the Lingbao Division, not Deacon Wang, came to the examination booth with a stack of test papers. The apprentices immediately put the books away and sat upright.

Zhang Ye also woke up after being reminded by others, but it seemed that he was still reminiscing about his sweet dream.

Brother Scar snorted again when he saw this scene.

In fact, immortals can use jade slips to record written information, but the exam still uses paper test papers to answer questions, because this can better reflect fairness and justice, and the invigilator also knows what the candidates are doing.

"Cheaters, die!" There was no other preface. After saying this, the deacon in charge of invigilating the exam threw out the test papers. The papers flew around, and everyone took them one by one, leaving no trace behind.

Immediately, the deacon sat in the chair and closed his eyes.

Although the deacon closed his eyes, the apprentices were even more solemn and did not dare to tilt their heads, let alone use their spiritual thoughts to cheat.

Because the deacon's spiritual thoughts have covered everyone, any rash actions will be discovered by him.

The apprentices picked up their pens, filled in the serial numbers representing their identities, and began to answer the questions.

It starts with some basic knowledge, and many people scribble down their answers. Even if they don’t know, they skip the ones they don’t know and fill in the ones they know first. It was not until the last question, the tenth question, that many people stopped writing and started thinking.

The tenth question is: "If you unearth a crystal of light deep in the mountains, what should you do with it?"

Light crystal is a very advanced material. Many apprentices have never heard of it, so they are stumped. Brother Scar thought for a moment, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had read about this light crystal before. After thinking about it for a while, he wrote: "Light crystal, as opposed to dark crystal, is formed by the condensation of light." Once completed, it cannot be held in the Five Elements, and it will be damaged if it comes into contact with the spirit of the immortals. It should be warmed and nourished by spiritual thoughts before it can be preserved..."

Brother Scar wrote thousands of words in a eloquent manner, listing the origin, properties, functions, etc. of the light crystal in detail, which made his hands sore from writing.

He raised his head and looked at the apprentices thinking hard. He felt proud that in the first subject, I was definitely the first!

However, Brother Scar saw Zhang Ye again. Zhang Ye was in the front row, so he could see Zhang Ye's back.

Zhang Ye didn't know what happened, so he lay down on the table and fell asleep again. Brother Scar thought for a moment and became even happier. Zhang Ye definitely couldn't do the questions, so he gave up on himself.

As for Zhang Ye, is it possible that he went to bed after finishing the test papers? Brother Scar thinks it is absolutely impossible. After all, someone who writes so fast has just finished answering the test paper. And looking at Zhang Ye, he has been asleep for a while. How could he fall asleep after finishing the test paper?

The invigilator opened his eyes. He probably couldn't bear to see Zhang Ye sleeping, so he scolded: "9527, if you want to sleep, go back to sleep."

Seeing Zhang Ye being scolded, Brother Scar felt even more happy. It was best to kill him if he wanted to die.

However, Zhang Ye seemed to have fallen asleep and was snoring. The invigilator was so angry that he stretched out his hand and took back the test papers on Zhang Ye's desk, meaning that no matter whether Zhang Ye left or not, he would not give them to him. An opportunity to answer questions.

The invigilator briefly glanced at Zhang Ye's answer sheet, suddenly froze, and then looked at it carefully again. The invigilator put away the answer sheet and ignored Zhang Ye. He closed his eyes and continued to meditate and invigilate the exam.

The apprentices who noticed this scene were a little weird, especially Brother Scar. Even if he was beaten to death, he didn't believe that the invigilator would let Zhang Ye go like this?

After half a stick of incense, the invigilator opened his eyes again: "The exam time is over, hand in the paper."

The invigilator waved his sleeves, and all the test papers flew into his hands and were arranged neatly.

Some of the apprentices were regretful, and some were eager, but they all sat there obediently and never left, because the invigilator and deacon would judge the score on the spot and inform everyone.

The invigilator marked the papers very quickly, and before half a cup of tea had arrived, the scores were given. He posted a list full of code names and scores on the wall: "The first subject assessment is over."

The apprentices thanked him and rushed to the list to check their scores and rankings.

Scar walked slowly because he was sure of winning.

"The first place is full marks!"

Hearing the apprentices' exclamations, Scar was even more satisfied. It was reasonable and unexpected, haha...

Scar stepped forward and prepared to give a speech of thanks for winning the award. However, the words on his lips were caught off guard by the number 9527.

Because the top of the list clearly read - "9527, 100 points."

The apprentices didn't even look at Scar, and rushed to Zhang Ye who was still sleeping, cheering for him. Zhang Ye didn't care, changed his posture, and continued to sleep.

I don't know if this guy stole a chicken last night or was pretending to be cool. The apprentices admired him very much, especially the female apprentices, who panted and called Zhang Ye. If it wasn't in broad daylight, they would have thought Zhang Ye had done something to them.

Scar saw his ranking, second, with a score of 95.

Although this was already a high score, Scar was unwilling to accept it. The most important thing was that he would never believe that Zhang Ye, who slept from beginning to end, could get full marks!

"Sir, may I ask why 9527 got full marks?" Encouraged by the fire of jealousy, Scar stepped forward quickly and called the invigilator.

The invigilator's face turned cold: "Are you questioning me?"

In the eyes of big men like the deacon, apprentices are nothing. Scar was a little more sober, and he quickly said respectfully: "Sir, you misunderstood. I just wanted to observe 9527's perfect answer sheet, so that I can know where I went wrong."

The other apprentices were also very curious and echoed weakly.

The invigilator pondered for a moment. This was not against the rules. Being modest and eager to learn was also a virtue. So he found Zhang Ye's test paper and made it public: "Hurry up and take a look. I have to hand it in to the master later."

The apprentices swarmed around Zhang Ye's test paper. The first nine questions were answered very standardly. Scar Brother glanced at it and found that it was the same as his answer, so he looked straight at the tenth question!

He worked hard to write more than a thousand words but didn't get full marks. He wanted to see how Zhang Ye answered.

However, Zhang Ye's answer was only five words: "Fake, bury it back."

Everyone was dumbfounded on the spot.

...

If you dig up a crystal of light in the mountains, how should you deal with it?

You answer, fake, bury it back?

You're cheating your father!

Scar Brother was furious, as if he saw Zhang Ye doing many shameful buttocks deals behind his back. He held back his anger and bowed: "May I ask the master, why is the answer to the tenth question like this?"

The apprentices also echoed and expressed their confusion.

The invigilator seemed to recognize Scar Brother: "0819, your understanding of the crystal of light in the answer to question 10 was very detailed, so I gave you five points; as for the five points deducted, it was because you didn't pay attention to the question!"

"As you wrote in your answer, the crystal of light cannot be stored in the five elements, otherwise it will melt. Since you can't touch the five elements, how can you dig out the crystal of light from the deep mountains?"

It was like a bolt from the blue. This was a trap question!

Scar Brother wanted to explain something, but he was speechless. He looked at Zhang Ye with a pale face. Just five words, his answer of thousands of words was completely beaten to pieces.

For example, you worked hard to pursue a woman, spent all your thoughts and money, and vaguely caught up with her, but suddenly a man jumped out, stretched out his hand and hooked, and your goddess ran away with him. How can you feel good?

But, the way of forging is like this, a small mistake can lead to a thousand miles, this is the intention of the tenth question.
