Chapter 372: Quality Assessment
After arranging the accommodation, Mo Hua, accompanied by Mo Shan, visited the outer mountain of Cang Yun Sect.
At the beginning, he felt that Cang Yun Sect was very big and there were many things inside. But after a few rounds, he lost the novelty. There were mountains and rivers, and there were platforms on each floor. He felt that it was almost the same, and there was nothing to visit.
Mo Hua returned to the house and reviewed the formations with peace of mind.
But the ordinary formations of the first rank were too simple, and there was nothing to review.
Mo Hua could only draw the Niling Formation several times, and reviewed the formation core of the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation.
When it was time for dinner, he went to Cang Yun Sect to eat.
The formation master assessment was supervised by the Tianshu Pavilion of the Dao Court and handled by the Cang Yun Sect.
The Cang Yun Sect attached great importance to it and dared not be negligent.
Otherwise, it would not only blaspheme the Dao Court, but also be easily held accountable by the Dao Court Department, and would also offend the formation masters who came to participate in the assessment, making the sect's reputation among the formation masters worse.
Cang Yun Sect dared not neglect those who could participate in the assessment and were all "quasi-first-grade" formation masters.
Therefore, they made every effort to arrange food and accommodation, and the accommodation was spacious and the food was rich.
Mo Hua ate a lot of spiritual meat that he had never eaten before.
The texture of the spiritual meat was indeed more delicate, without a trace of fishy smell, and the spiritual energy was dense. After eating and refining, the spiritual power in the sea of qi also increased slightly.
But the taste was just average. Because of the rich spiritual energy, it was a bit like "eating spiritual stones", and the taste was far less delicious than his mother's cooking.
But Mo Hua was not picky about food.
And just for the preciousness of these spiritual meats, he would eat more.
Mo Hua lived well and ate well, and the disciples of Cang Yun Sect were also respectful and polite, and he did not encounter any trouble.
After two days, it was the official assessment of the fixed grade.
The location of the examination was set in the Wenxian Hall on the main peak of Cang Yun Sect.
The hall was vast and tall, solemn and magnificent, with dozens of tables inside.
The tables were made of mahogany, with a wide tabletop and carved with cloud beast patterns. They were thick and had a faint luster, and looked very valuable.
There were formations around the tables to isolate the divine consciousness, sound, and sight.
Once the formation master made an extraordinary move, it would trigger the formation warning, and he would be expelled from the examination room and dismissed from the qualification of the determined grade.
Mo Hua showed the jade card to the examiner, entered the Wenxian Hall, found his own table, sat down quietly, felt the solemn atmosphere, and felt a little nervous.
He looked around and suddenly he was not nervous anymore.
Mr. Zhuang was right. Most of the people who took the exam with him were some old formation masters with white hair, and some middle-aged monks with gray hair.
Mo Hua said silently in his heart:
"These uncles and grandfathers have studied and taken exams for a lifetime, but they still fail. I am still young, so even if I fail this time, it doesn't matter..."
Thinking this way, Mo Hua was completely relieved.
Then he found that everyone seemed to be secretly looking at him.
The first one was the examiner at the door.
He had half white hair, a serious expression, and a rigid face.
He was wearing a white Taoist robe with a seven-star pattern embroidered on his chest.
The seven stars were in the shape of a bucket, and the other six stars were dim. Only the first star of the Big Dipper, that is, Tianshu, was bright and emitting a bright starlight.
This means that he is a cultivator of the Tianshu Pavilion in the Seven Star Pavilion in the center of the Taoist Court.
He is also the chief examiner of the array method.
When Mo Hua handed him the jade card, he could clearly see the look of astonishment on his face.
He looked at the jade card, stared at Mo Hua for a long time, and then slowly nodded and let Mo Hua enter the examination room.
Mo Hua entered the Wenxian Hall.
Then he found that everyone was staring at him, either openly or secretly.
Watching him enter the door, watching him walk through the aisle, watching him walk to the table, and watching him sit down openly.
Suddenly, a sound of people sucking in cold air was heard.
As if realizing that this little kid in his teens was actually here to be graded, all the array masters looked a little dazed for a moment.
This is the grade-setting test for a first-grade array master...
A first-grade array master!
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Even though Mo Hua had seen the scene of a large array collapse, he felt a little embarrassed and awkward in the eyes of everyone who was shocked, envious, or suspicious.
Fortunately, half an hour later, everyone was there, and the test was about to start, and no one was looking at Mo Hua secretly anymore.
Mo Hua also breathed a sigh of relief.
A moment later, the sound of the Cangyun Sect's bell rang.
Everyone was silent.
The examiner looked around and said solemnly:
"Daoting Tianshu Pavilion, second-grade Black Mountain State Boundary, Cangyun Sect Wenxian Hall, first-grade array master grading assessment, now officially begins!"
After speaking, he held up an iron box with gold and jade borders and said solemnly:
"Now I will unlock the array that seals the test questions in front of you.
The examiner moved a few small array plates, making the gold and jade on the iron box inlaid, and then a light flashed, the array was unlocked, and all the gold and jade inlaid on the box fell off.
This is a one-time array. Once it is opened, the gold and jade will fall off and cannot be restored. In case someone opens it in advance, Open, steal the test questions.
The examiner opened the iron box to show everyone.
There were dozens of jade slips in the iron box, and the jade slips contained the test questions for the fixed-grade examination.
The examiner ordered people to distribute the jade slips, and at the same time, they also distributed the array pens, array paper, spiritual ink, inkstones, etc. that were limited to the Dao Court.
This process was meticulous and cumbersome to prevent array masters from cheating.
After that, the fixed-grade examination officially began.
Mo Hua looked at the jade slips.
The test questions on the jade slips were divided into two parts. One part was array theory, which examined the array theory, including array types, array origins, array history, array pattern generation and restraint, etc.
He is not very good at these ink paintings, but that is compared to Bai Zixi, a child from a family with a rich family background. He learned formations from Mr. Zhuang, and under the influence of his ears, he is actually familiar with these basic first-level formation theories.
The second part is the formation, which focuses on the depiction of the actual formation.
Mo Hua took a look at the exam formation and felt completely relieved.
First-grade molten fire formation, first-grade golden light formation, first-grade water prison formation...
They are all five-element formations, and they are all poorly drawn with ink.
The Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation includes most of the Five Elements trapping and killing methods, as well as architectural formations.
The master of ink painting built the five-element demon-slaying formation, and even drew the formation pivots of the formation, not to mention these simple single formations used to fill it.
But Mo Hua remembers his father's teachings, and the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.
The simpler it is, the less careless it is.
Mo Hua first finished answering the formation theory, and then began to draw the formation seriously.
But no matter how serious you are, this is just an ordinary first-grade nine-mark formation, and it is really not difficult.
At the beginning, the ink painting was done carefully, one stroke at a time.
As I continued to draw, I got used to it. I brushed and brushed three times, five times, five times, and two times. It didn't take long to finish all the formations.
Then Mo Hua was stunned:
"I seem to have finished the exam..."
He raised his head and looked around. Although there was a formation to isolate him, he couldn't see clearly.
But vaguely, it can still be seen that most of the formation masters have just finished answering the formation theory, and then they look serious, as if facing a formidable enemy, and start to actually draw the formation.
But all the ink paintings have been finished, and he has nothing left to draw...
He checked it over and found nothing to check.
It's just a first-grade formation, you can see through it at a glance, what should you check?
Mo Hua thought about drawing some other formations to pass the time, but there was no extra formation paper.
He suddenly realized that he had nothing to do...
Do you need to submit the paper in advance?
Mo Hua thought for a while and shook his head.
This is too arrogant, and it also doesn't respect the "First-Rank Formation Master's Qualification Assessment".
The rafters at the top rot first.
At his age, he is already high-profile enough to order products, so it is better to be low-key at this time.
"When everyone hands in the paper together, I will hand it in with you..."
Mo Hua made up his mind.
After that, he sat upright for a while, still feeling very boring.
The formation master assessment was given a whole day. He thought this time was very good and sufficient before, but now he feels that it is a little too generous...
He can't really sit here all day.
Ink painting is boring, but there is no ink or paper, so I can only lie on the table, scratch the famous smooth tabletop with my fingers, and draw some random patterns to relieve my boredom.
But it’s really boring…
Mo Hua's little face was pressed against the table, and he was drawing, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and he fell asleep...
His voice was soft and soft.
But he was soon discovered by the examiner.
The examiner's face was as dark as water, and he silently recited the name on the jade plaque in his heart:
"Tongxian City, ink painting!"
As soon as Mo Hua entered the door, he paid attention.
How can a child in his teens come to participate in the formation master's ordering?
How big a backdoor is this?
How much of a relationship does it have?
He originally thought that this child was recommended by some family or sect.
At that time, the local Daotingsi will be ordered to terminate their recommendation qualifications for fifty years.
But he never expected that this child was actually recommended by Dao Tingsi himself!
How much does it cost to buy Daotingsi? Is it really worth it?
Such things as quality assessment and secret transactions are unavoidable. In most cases, Daoting turns a blind eye and forgets it.
But don’t go too far!
If you let a child decide the product, do you think everyone else is blind?
The designation of a first-grade formation master is an extremely serious matter, but now it is treated as a child's play by these people. It is really unreasonable!
The examiner was angry.
He did not hold him accountable on the spot because he was afraid of affecting the assessment of other formation masters.
And he was just in case, thinking that this child might really have some talent for formations and really be qualified to participate in the final product, so he intentionally or unintentionally looked at the ink painting answer sheet on it.
The position where the Wenxian Hall invigilates the examination is on a high platform. Standing on it, you can have an unobstructed view.
Naturally, it also includes various behaviors of ink painting.
This child started writing the formation theory and answered seriously.
But not long after, either because I had finished the answer or because I didn’t know how to write it, I put the formation theory aside and started to draw the formation.
When I first started drawing the formation, I was very serious about it, every stroke was meticulous.
But as he continued to draw, his true colors were revealed.
I only glanced at the formation diagram, and then threw it away completely. I drew it casually, as if I was scribbling.
Several sheets of paper were quickly used up...
After he finished destroying the paper, he became bored again and began to lie on the table, scratching and pulling something with his little hands.
Pulling and pulling, he actually...
it turns out!
Actually fell asleep!
The examiner's eyelids were twitching wildly and his face was ashen.
This is really unreasonable!
He despised Daoting, despised the formation, despised the examination room, and even ignored him as the examiner!
The examiner looked at the ink painting again, and was about to get angry, but seeing that he was sleeping soundly and with an innocent expression, his heart softened again, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"A child, what can he know?"
Then his eyes turned cold.
This must be the plan of the family or sect behind this young cultivator. They bribed the Tongting Division to let this young formation master who had not learned the formation for a long time come to participate in the first-grade formation master's fixed-grade assessment.
This child may have come in a daze. He couldn't answer the questions, couldn't draw the formation, and didn't know what to do, so he had to lie down and sleep.
The examiner sighed and said silently in his heart:
"Let him sleep first, and we will investigate this matter later..."
Therefore, after Mo Hua finished answering the test paper for the first-grade formation master, he lay on the table and slept steadily from beginning to end...
