Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 147 Sect Competition 15
Wei Xi took a deep breath and placed the stick on the table.

Sitting down and taking a closer look, he saw writing brushes and ink on the table, as well as a small hourglass. Wei Xi lifted it up and saw that there was indeed a magic stone underneath.

A quarter of an hour later, people began to sit next to Wei Xi.

I looked up and saw the invigilator had arrived.

The head of Zhenhai Sect, whom I met yesterday, was sitting on the circle in the middle, with Elder Sui Jiao sitting on his right, and the one further right wearing moon-white clothes should be the head of Linchuan Pavilion.

The head of Zhenhai Sect tilted his head and spoke to the invigilator on his left.

This was the first time Wei Xi met Han Xianshi’s junior fellow apprentice, Gao Mingxian, the head of the Wanjian Sect.

This man was not as serious as Master Han and Xiao Pingting. He had a baby face with a smile on his face and the corners of his mouth turned up. He didn't look like a sword cultivator in name only.

After meeting him, Wei Xi finally understood where the rumors came from.

Putting the serious and solemn Master Han and the cheerful Gao Ming together, it is obvious who is more suitable to be the headmaster.

Immortal Master Han was indeed the first choice for the leader of the Wanjian Sect back then.

Apart from this fact, rumors have made all kinds of speculations about Master Han's accident, the Wanjian Sect holding a voting meeting, and the Duanye Sect's failure to stand on the Sanyangxu side and withdrawing from the alliance.

There were even rumors that the second senior brother of the Wanjian Sect committed suicide out of shame and anger after drinking.

Rumors are just rumors, and Wei Xi does not believe these widespread claims.

But Wei Xi knew one thing: Gao Mingxian taking over the position of the head was indeed beyond the expectations of the immortal cultivation world, so much so that the rumors have never subsided over the years.

However, Wei Xi shifted his gaze away from Gao Mingxian. Not everyone can receive such great wealth. This man was entrusted with the task at a critical moment, yet he sat firmly in the position of the head of the sect, which showed his skill.

The last invigilator was the leader of the Wanfa Sect, whose wealth and splendor made him incompatible with the other four.

At 2:15 am, five Zhenhai Sect disciples held up the examination booklets and distributed the examination papers.

Looking at the entire test paper, it is divided into three major parts: short-answer questions, application questions and essay questions.

The short-answer questions are all conceptual questions about sects, spiritual medicines, spiritual beasts, and drawing qi into the body; the application questions require you to choose any basic magic circle to draw; there are two argumentative questions, one is to propose an optimized plan for recruiting students for cultivation, and the other is to simulate the training scenario in a disaster year and briefly describe the precautions and reasons.

At three quarters past noon, all the hourglasses in the room flipped over and the exam began.

Wei Xi's hard work last night was not in vain. She did not stutter at all when answering the short-answer questions. Magic circles and talismans have a lot in common. Recently, she helped Lian Gouqie to make talismans, so she chose the one she was most confident in drawing.

Wei Xi randomly made up a few items for the enrollment optimization plan; the experience in the disaster years was even easier to explain, hiding some small secrets. Wei Xi changed the events in Tangkou Town, which was a rare answer.

Wei Xi worked very hard for almost an hour and finally finished the paper.

Wei Xi, who had stopped writing and was drying the paper, pricked up his ears.

Several big men were talking in low voices.

He is said to be invigilating, but in fact he is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

These five people appeared because their performance in the sect competition was important. The real invigilators were the Zhenhai Sect disciples strolling around the examination room.

There are also test papers that have been specially processed.

As it was a rare occasion for them to get together, the five bosses initially discussed issues such as the amount of spirit stones to be mined, the plan for the State of Ju, and the situation at the border between Yin and Yang.

Later, the topic turned to which young people could perform well in this sect competition.

How could Wei Xi miss such an opportunity to open the book?

Even though they are all well-known figures in the world of immortal cultivation, at this time they turned into Wang Po and started to brag about their own melons.

The head of the Wanjian Sect mentioned two of his disciples, Ji Xiangniang, who had spent five years cultivating her foundation, and Tuoba Yi, who fought fiercely against the beast tide. Not to be outdone, the head of the Linchuan Pavilion revealed two disciples with extremely pure water-attributed roots, who had already shown talent before even forming their elixir.

The leader of the Wanfa Sect waved his hand covered with jewel rings, indicating that he had a disciple who could already create his own magic formula.

……

Wei Xi: The competition is quite fierce!

After listening for a quarter of an hour, the last grain of sand fell into the hourglass.

The exam was over, and after handing in the paper, Wei Xitong and Lian Gouqie walked out of the exam room.

Unexpectedly, I saw Yan Qingluo standing with Qin Feng.

"...Qin Feng?" Wei Xi didn't know what they were talking about, so he called out tentatively.

Qin Feng was as if he had been pardoned. "Finally, you're out. You two didn't eat breakfast this morning. You've been taking the exam for such a long time. Are you hungry?"

The two people who were stuffed with a bun each by Qin Feng in the morning:?
Lian Gouyu immediately said, "I'm starving! I even want to drink the ink on the table!"

"Miss Yan, I'm going to take my fellow disciples out for dinner," Qin Feng said apologetically, "I'll go ahead!"

Yan Qingluo, holding a basket of sea sand in his arms, was in no position to stop him. He jokingly said, "Master, please don't eat the cuttlefish later, or you'll have endured it all for nothing!"

Lian Gouqie smiled awkwardly and followed Wei Qin and the others.

"Finally, I've waited until you two arrive," Qin Feng said as he walked away, immediately starting to complain. "This guy came up to me for no apparent reason. I'm not out in the ocean, so why would I be so idle?"

Thinking of the King of Wuyang's different attitudes yesterday, Lian Gou asked, "Why, did she remember your identity and want to win you over?"

"There's always something to do in Jucheng," Qin Feng denied. "Besides, my family doesn't have many people left. Only Uncle Du can look after us. The newly appointed Prince of Wuyang wouldn't bother trying to win over an orphan like me who's cultivating away from home."

"However," Qin Feng turned his head and took a look, "She is indeed trying to find out what my future plans are. I wonder what she wants to do..."

Wei Xi didn't know much about these things, so he just thought they were just idle chats. He asked, "If you really want to know, just push the blame onto her master. You might find some clues."

"...Apart from the two encounters with the Zhenhai Sect, I have never met Prince Wuyang and know very little about him..."

"He was newly conferred the title of prince? Didn't you say that he angered the old emperor? Why was he conferred the title of prince?" Lian Gouqie asked.

"He recently launched an attack on the Nanjiang tribe and captured their leader alive," Qin Feng quickly revealed the information she had gathered. "He also led his troops to defeat a 50,000-strong coalition force of three tribes, and was subsequently crowned king..."

"He made his fortune through military exploits," Qin Feng suddenly realized, "No wonder, he sent his own men to show that he cares about the generals."

"Why do you sound like that?" Lian Gou asked doubtfully, "You're not angry at all?"

Qin Feng sneered, "Whether it's sincere or not, I don't care. If he really wants to, he could take care of the families of the soldiers who died in the battle."

"I'm afraid there's more to it than that," Wei Xi stopped Lingyin from eating the fruit with unknown toxicity. "Yan Qingluo is his man. He's trying to find out about your future plans. I'm afraid he might be thinking of recruiting you."

Wei Xi's reasoning was quite reasonable. No matter how you looked at it, Qin Feng was a very suitable candidate for a subordinate.

"I don't want to get involved..." Qin Feng's words stopped abruptly, and hatred welled up in his eyes.

Wei Xi followed Qin Feng's line of sight and saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe, whose left hand was missing a finger.
