Chapter 389 Demon Suppression Sect Assessment Rules
There is no doubt that the cultivators who can afford such expensive tickets to ride the flying boat of Wanxian Tower are either rich or noble, and the cultivators who plan to participate in the Zhenmomen test, where the probability of elimination is the highest, are all outstanding and extraordinary.
The word "loose cultivator" almost represents poverty and weakness. In terms of cultivation qualifications, most loose cultivators are not as good as the children of aristocratic families.
However, the advantage of loose cultivators is that they are numerous, hundreds of times more than the children of aristocratic families.
Therefore, every quarter, the number of loose cultivators who go to the capital of the Immortal Dynasty to participate in the assessment of the five major sects is actually much larger than that of the children of aristocratic families, and at least half of the disciples recruited by the five major sects every year are loose cultivators.
It is not surprising that a loose cultivator wants to participate in the Zhenmomen test. What is strange is that Ye Lin, a loose cultivator, is so rich that he can afford to ride the flying boat of Wanxian Tower.
However, no matter whether Ye Lin is worth a lot of money, the children of aristocratic families always have a high attitude when facing loose cultivators, so when they heard that Ye Lin, a loose cultivator, also came to participate in their alliance gathering, many cultivators frowned slightly.
At first, the host of the alliance gathering, Master Zhu, also had a flash of contempt in his eyes. He was usually quite arrogant and even had the idea of subconsciously driving Ye Lin out. However, when he carefully sensed Ye Lin's breath, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise.
"This person's breath is so strange. It seems ordinary to people, but when you sense it carefully, it is unfathomable. Even a Jindan cultivator like me feels a little scared. Could it be that this person has used some secret method to hide his true cultivation? Is he also a Jindan early stage genius? My "Qi Sensing Method" has been cultivated to perfection, and it shouldn't be wrong."
"No matter what this person is, he should not be a simple character. It's better not to offend him. Although our Zhu family still has some power and status in Demon City, there are too many people in this world that we can't afford to offend."
This Master Zhu is indeed arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and he has even done a lot of things to oppress the weak, but that is based on the premise that he is sure that the other party can afford to provoke him.
Now he is not sure whether he can afford to provoke Ye Lin.
Seeing that other cultivators seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Lin, Master Zhu quickly coughed twice, then smiled at Ye Lin, and politely bowed his hands, but did not stand up.
"Is Fellow Daoist Ye really just a casual cultivator?"
Ye Lin nodded calmly.
Master Zhu said again: "Looking at Fellow Daoist Ye's age, he should be only 27 or 28 years old. He has the strength of the late stage of foundation building. His cultivation talent is not inferior to many children of aristocratic families. Moreover, the cultivation conditions of casual cultivators are more difficult, and their actual combat abilities are often unexpected. The possibility of Fellow Daoist passing this assessment is not low."
Ye Lin responded calmly: "Then I will present good words to Fellow Daoist Zhu."
The other children of aristocratic families were also slightly stunned when they saw that Master Zhu, who was always arrogant and difficult to provoke, was so polite to Ye Lin. Then many of them realized something, and their faces changed slightly, from frowning slightly at Ye Lin to smiling kindly.
Since they were planning to participate in the assessment of the Demon Suppression Sect, no one was a fool. Since Master Zhu was so abnormal, he must have his reasons. Anyway, if they didn't dare to offend Master Zhu, they would be even more afraid.
Ye Lin also noticed the subtle changes in the atmosphere, and was slightly surprised that Master Zhu organized the alliance party.
"This person is only 27 or 28 years old, but he can break through the Jindan stage, and his observation ability is quite meticulous. Fortunately, this person deliberately noticed my multi-layered aura, otherwise he would be driven out today and would not be able to take advantage."
Ye Lin practiced the "Hidden Dragon Art" and was very easy to control his own aura. A long time ago, he liked to maintain multi-layered aura. The more ordinary the cultivators, the more ordinary he felt, and the more extraordinary the cultivators, the more extraordinary he felt. The purpose was naturally to save some trouble.
After waiting for about half an hour, the enthusiastic monk Fakong brought five late-stage foundation-building and one aristocratic children who had reached the great perfection of foundation-building.
Then Master Zhu waved his sleeves and the door slammed shut.
Master Zhu said, "Since the time has come, let's not wait any longer. This gathering is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is for the Taoist friends who have participated in the assessment to share their assessment experience. The second part is to form alliances. You can form alliances with each other for mutual benefit and increase the possibility of passing the assessment. To be honest, I have participated in two assessments and almost passed both times. Now I will start the first part of sharing experience."
Master Zhu began to talk about his first two assessments. However, the two assessments he participated in were assessment methods in which the assessees competed with each other to decide the winner, not mixed examinations.
After Master Zhu finished sharing, other cultivators also shared in the order of seats. Most cultivators did not participate in mixed examinations. Only a few cultivators participated in mixed examinations.
After hearing this, Ye Lin finally had a general understanding of the rules of mixed examinations.
The so-called mixed test is to transfer all the cultivators to a Taoist instrument space. Anyone who kills a monster or a demon in the space can get a score token. The higher the monster's cultivation, the more tokens there are. However, this requires the examinee to kill alone. If they kill together, there will be no score tokens.
At the same time, if you defeat other cultivators, you can get all the score tokens accumulated by other cultivators.
The total duration of the test is five days. After five days, the top 1,000 on the scoreboard pass the test. As long as they pass the identity review of the Demon Suppression Sect, they can officially become a member.
The reason why Master Zhu held an alliance gathering when the mixed test rules required killing monsters alone was that the purpose of the alliance was not to deal with monsters, but to deal with the threats of other cultivators. Moreover, there was a layer of trust after the alliance, so there was no need to worry about the allies fighting each other.
Ye Lin also noticed that the cultivators who ranked in the top ten of the assessment score list were directly promoted to inner disciples after entering the sect, and they could also receive generous rewards. After entering the Demon Suppression Sect, they had a high status, while the cultivators ranked eleventh to one hundredth were directly promoted to outer disciples, and the cultivators ranked one hundredth to one thousandth had to start as menial disciples.
After the experience sharing session ended, Master Zhu directly announced the start of the alliance session. Master Zhu quickly confirmed that he had formed an alliance with three foundation-building great perfection cultivators. The children of other families also formed alliances with each other and made a vow not to fight each other during the assessment.
Ye Lin was completely like an outsider. Although many people were very confused about him and felt that he was not as simple as he seemed, no one invited him.
About an hour later, the alliance gathering ended and all the cultivators left one after another.
Soon, only a few cultivators who had formed an alliance with Master Zhu were left in the hall.
One of them asked, "Why is Master Zhu so polite to the casual cultivator named Ye?"
Master Zhu said in a serious tone, "This person is very likely to have hidden his strength. If we meet him in the assessment space, try not to conflict with him unless necessary."
The other cultivators were slightly surprised.
Someone else said, "Then should we find someone to test this person's strength after getting off the flying boat?"
Master Zhu snorted coldly, "Your idea is really stupid. This person has no grudge against us. Even if we are competitors in the assessment, we don't have to kill him to pass the assessment. If this person is really capable and offends him, it will be a big trouble!"
"Of course, this master also hopes that this person has no ability. It is always good to have one less competitor, but whether he has the ability or not will not change because of our test. Do you understand?"
"I have learned your lesson."
