I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.

Glancing at the disciple on duty, the disciple said, "You may begin. The test requires you to draw a talisman. Please select the talisman you wish to draw."

Gu Liyue nodded, remembering the upgraded version of the Thunder Talisman: the Nine-Beaded Thunder Talisman. This was something she had seen in the talisman book last night. It didn't have a rank listed, but she felt it must be one of the more advanced talismans in the book.

She tried to draw three last night, and unexpectedly the last one was successful. She planned to draw this talisman today.

She adjusted her breathing and practiced the Nine-Bead Thunder Talisman in her mind.

He picked up the talisman pen, mixed cinnabar and monster blood, mobilized his spiritual power, and poured it into the talisman pen. A faint glow appeared on the talisman pen.

Gu Liyue dipped the talisman in cinnabar beast blood and began to draw the talisman. The runes of this talisman were relatively complex. She was so focused on drawing the talisman that she didn't notice anything around her.

Huo Shiyong sat up straighter on the stage. His hair was still messy and his beard was still messy, but his expression was not lazy, but serious.

He noticed that Gu Liyue took a long time to draw the talisman, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes to look at it carefully.

As far as he could see, he couldn't see the runes drawn by Gu Liyue, but he faintly felt the aura of thunder and lightning on the talisman paper. Could it be a thunder talisman? It didn't feel like it.

Gu Liyue finished drawing and saw a flash of golden light on the talisman paper, indicating that the talisman was completed.

The disciple on duty looked at the rune, but couldn't recognize what it was. It looked like a thunder rune, but it was not.

He kept searching his memory but still had no impression. He only knew two talismans related to thunder and lightning, but they were obviously different from the one in front of him.

He was just an ordinary disciple of Sixiang Peak. He thought he was familiar with the mainstream runes, but why didn't he recognize the runes drawn by this new student?

He sighed. He had fought so hard to get the duty assignment, and he didn't want to mess it up, but he also couldn't register randomly.

Alas! He sighed again and decided to be realistic. Even if he lost this job, it would not work. Who made him so ignorant that he could not even recognize the talisman drawn by a freshman?

He had no choice but to look towards the stage and look to Master Yi Yan for help.

Yi Yan looked at the disciple on duty who looked troubled and walked down.

Looking at the talisman that Gu Liyue had just drawn, he was surprised. This one turned out to be a Nine-Pearl Thunder Talisman, fourth level!

This talisman is also relatively niche, because the thunder talismans include: ordinary thunder talismans, second level; nine-bead thunder talismans, fourth level; and a tenth-level Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Talisman.

Most cultivators only know about the low-level thunder talismans and the famous Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Talisman, and the one in the middle is easily overlooked.

She didn't show it on her face, and looked at the disciple on duty and said, "Nine-beaded Thunder Talisman, fourth level."

The disciple on duty looked at Master Yi cautiously, and when he saw that she didn't blame him for not being skilled enough or competent for the job, he felt relieved. It seemed he hadn't been working hard enough.

When Huo Shiyong on the stage heard this, he narrowed his eyes and revealed a happy smile. Just based on this talisman, Gu Liyue was more than qualified to be his personal disciple!

After hearing this, the disciple immediately registered it and put the talisman away. After finishing the task, he sighed inwardly, "It's actually a fourth-level talisman! No wonder I couldn't recognize it!"

He said to Gu Liyue, "Your assessment is complete, you can leave now."

Gu Liyue nodded. She looked at the sky and found that it was still early, so she flew towards the dormitory on her sword.

After drawing the Nine-Bead Thunder Talisman, she felt that her spiritual power was almost used up. It was necessary for her to practice first to replenish her spiritual power before going to Tongming Peak to participate in the alchemy test.

Back at the dormitory, she entered the room and the space.

When Gu Liyue walked out of the room, it was already the end of the hour of Wei. She looked up at the sky, summoned [Wuhua], and flew to Tongming Peak.

When she arrived at Tongming Peak, she found that there were only a few students refining pills in the square. Most of them must have completed the assessment!

Zhou Ruomu was on the stage and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Liyue appear. At the request of his master, he had checked the list of applicants twice and confirmed that Gu Liyue had applied for the alchemy exam.

I just don’t know why, I have been waiting since morning until now, and it’s already 3:00 PM, but I still haven’t seen her. Master sent a message to ask again.

He had never seen his master care so much about a student, but he was convinced that Gu Liyue was worth it.

He immediately sent a message back to tell his master that Gu Liyue had arrived at Tongming Peak.

In the main hall on the Tongtian Peak, the senior executives of Qingxuan Academy were still sitting.

Upon hearing that Gu Liyue had arrived at Tongming Peak, Chi Yonghao felt relieved and immediately urged the dean to open the water mirror.

Gongsun Xun opened the water mirror as instructed and focused the image on Zhou Ruomu of Tongming Peak. Chi Yonghao instructed Zhou Ruomu to follow Gu Liyue throughout the entire process until she finished the assessment.

Gu Liyue looked at the situation in the square and walked to the place where the spiritual herbs were collected. Zhou Ruomu called out, "Gu Liyue, come here."

Gu Liyue said to Zhou Ruomu, "Uncle Zhou, okay."

The people around looked over.

"This is Gu Liyue. It is said that she can refine third-level pills."

"Yeah, I heard from the students in Class 1 that he even advanced after refining the elixir in the classroom at Tongming Peak."

"I heard about it too. I wonder if she will make a third-level pill today."

"I want to see her make the elixir."

Yin Rutang, who was also arranged to help in the square, was angry when she saw Gu Liyue appear. She thought the assessment was coming to an end and it would be best if Gu Liyue did not come, but she did not expect that she would come in the end.

Gu Liyue walked up to Zhou Ruomu, and Zhou Ruomu led her to the side hall to pick spiritual herbs.

Following Zhou Ruomu into the side hall, she felt as if she had walked into a spiritual herb warehouse, with all kinds of spiritual herbs placed on the shelves in different categories.

She had never seen so many spiritual herbs before. It was worthy of being the Tongming Peak of Qingxuan Academy!

She saw Nether Grass and Moon Shadow Grass, the main spiritual herbs used in refining Soul Nourishing Pills, and also relatively rare. They looked much better than the ones she had bought at the street stalls before, appearing fuller and greener, larger, and more abundant in spiritual energy. Using spiritual herbs of this quality to refine pills would increase the success rate, right?

And there are quite a few of them. There is actually a small pile on each shelf, about twenty or thirty trees.

If I use these to set up a street stall, I will have to sell a lot of spirit stones!

She regretted not being familiar with more fifth-level pill recipes. Currently, she was only familiar with the recipe for the Soul-Nourishing Pill.

She looked at Zhou Ruomu and said, "Uncle Zhou, can I take all the spiritual herbs here to make pills?"

Zhou Ruomu nodded: "Okay."

Gu Liyue took out her small basket of spiritual herbs and began to select them, thinking of the recipe for the Soul Nourishing Pill. She placed the herbs she needed in the basket. She had selected over twenty varieties. She looked at Zhou Ruomu and said, "Uncle Zhou, here are the herbs."

"Okay, I'll take you to make the elixir, follow me."

Zhou Ruomu brought her to the square and pointed at the table in the front, saying, "You can make the elixir here."
