Volume Four, Chapter 42, Tinder Promotion
Everyone was in order and found a stool behind the desk and sat down. Among them, Huoyun Old Demon, Ao Jun, Han Tao, and Zhu Qu were very calm, with no trace of nervousness on their faces. They should be more confident in themselves.
However, some juniors, such as Ao Wentian, the burly man, and many cultivators in the early stage of the Dancheng Realm and the middle stage of the Dancheng Realm, faced this elixir assessment, they looked nervous, feeling a little restless, and even kept looking around.
Seeing Ye Daoxin, the old demon Huoyun looked at Ye Daoxin with great meaning. He knew that the first magic refining pill fell into Ye Daoxin's hands.
"Okay, everyone carefully look at the jade plaque on their desk. It states the content of the first level of assessment. There are two parts in total. You can complete the task of the first part first, print three ways to improve your fire in the jade plaque, and then hand it over to me." The Dao God General said loudly.
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone immediately began to burn the jade tablets, and many people looked embarrassed and were stumped by the first task.
Although Ye Daoxin was looking at the monks around him, he was both focused and could hear it very clearly. After hearing this task, he began to calmly burn the method he knew to improve the fire.
For Ye Daoxin, this task is too simple. He can write seven or eight different ways to improve his blue flame.
After a while, Ye Daoxin wrote six ways to improve his blue flame that he thought was more practical. After finishing writing, he looked up and saw that Han Tao had finished writing.
When the two of them were in contact with each other, Han Tao's eyes were very cold and proud, as if he was very disdainful of Ye Daoxin and full of hostility.
Ye Daoxin's mouth looked curved, and he felt strange. He didn't offend Han Tao. Why was he so hostile to him?
Could it be that it is because of Mr. Shan Yongning, who, like Ning Kangle, wants to stand up for Mr. Shan Yongning, or he also wants to steal his soul protection order?
What if he doesn’t matter, the soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to cover the earth!
Faced with Han Tao's bad habits, Ye Daoxin didn't take it seriously. Isn't it just a cultivator in the seventh level of Dancheng realm, which is much worse than Ning Kangle. He is not even afraid of Ning Yongkang, and he is still afraid of Han Tao?
"After writing, I will hand it over to me. It is strictly forbidden to talk during the process, otherwise the results will be invalidated on the spot!" said the Great Dao God General.
Ye Daoxin walked over and handed the jade plaque with the answer written on it to the Dao God General. Han Tao handed it over almost at the same time. In addition to the two of them, there were also the Huoyun Old Demon and Ao Jun, who also finished the answer as soon as possible.
After half an incense stick, all the monks who took the assessment first handed in the jade token because the time had come.
There is only half a stick of incense to answer the questions. Once the time comes, no matter whether you answer it or not, you have to hand in the jade tablet. Of course, for later monks, as long as the time has not yet come, you can continue to answer the questions.
Ye Daoxin looked around and found that while he was answering the questions, there were many monks coming in. There were now 150 monks participating in the assessment in the hall.
Ye Daoxin noticed that the burly man was sweating heavily, his eyes were nervous and nervous, and he knew that he was answering the questions in a hurry.
What surprised Ye Daoxin was that Ao Wentian was still very nervous at the beginning, but when he actually entered the assessment, he quickly calmed down. Shortly after he handed over the jade token, Ao Wentian also handed over the jade token.
The Great Dao God General held fifty or sixty jade tokens in his hand and looked up the answers one by one. He was very serious. After he finished checking the answers, all the monks behind him handed over the jade tokens.
During this period, He Gan'an stood aside, stroking his beard and smiling, and lowered his head to ponder. He didn't know what he was thinking. Ye Daoxin guessed that he should be forcing something bad idea.
Ye Daoxin turned his head and saw Han Tao's lips slightly moving, and he was talking to He Gan'an. He immediately understood that it was definitely not a good thing that the two of them colluded together during the assessment and waiting.
Ye Daoxin secretly raised his vigilance. Both of them were cultivators in the late stage of the Dancheng realm. The key is that they were both full of hostility towards them. Han Tao and Mr. Shan Yongning were backing them. Now they colluded with He Gan'an, which would definitely be detrimental to him.
Although they dare not do anything to themselves now, what if they finish the assessment? I guess they will attack them as soon as possible.
Ao Jun looked confident. He knew his level very well, at least a level five alchemy master. Now, seeing Ao Wentian handed over the jade tablet so smoothly, he felt very pleased and thought there was someone to succeed.
After answering the question, Ao Wentian also showed a kind look at Ye Daoxin, and Ye Daoxin nodded in response.
The Great Dao God General read the answer on the jade tablet very carefully. While reading it, he murmured to himself, as if he was completely immersed in it.
Ye Daoxin felt strange. Logically speaking, for the Dao God General in the late stage of the Dancheng Realm, the answers to review these jade tablets should be very simple. How could it be so slow? Could this Dao God General also likes to refine alchemy, so he is so interested in the method of improving fire.
"Hmm? It's interesting." Suddenly, the Dao God General's expression changed slightly, then his brows frowned, and his eyes were fixed on a jade tablet in his hand.
"This guy's answer is very novel, but I just don't know if it will be done in detail?" The Dao God General stood there and murmured to himself, looking at a jade tablet in his hand with appreciation.
Ye Dao's heart moved. Isn't the jade pendant he held in the hand of the Great Dao God General the jade pendant he handed in?
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? But it's not right. Looking at the expression of the Dao God General, I seem to appreciate and doubt it. I really don't know what he thought."
Alas, I don’t care, I’ve already handed over anyway, and I can only wait for the result if I succeed.
"Okay, we have already checked everyone's answers. One-third of the monks wrote very well and completed the first task. Now I stayed with the monks who chanted the name, and the others could leave. As it was still early, I could go to other places to try my luck." The Dao God General said loudly, and at the same time he recited the name of the monk who passed the assessment.
The monk who was pronounced the name looked excited, but the monk who was not pronounced the name looked disappointed.
"God General of the Great Dao, are you mistaken? Why don't you have my name? I feel like I have written four or five ways, how come there is no one you like?"
Seeing that he had no name, a monk immediately raised objections.
"Yes, I don't have my name either. I'm a master of alchemy and I don't have my name. Are you wrong?"
An old man with white beard stood up and said.
"That's right, that's right, we should give an explanation, otherwise we will not accept it."
A bold mid-stage monk in the Dancheng realm stood up and protested, saying that he should give an explanation.
"I also agree. You have the final say in this kind of assessment alone. It's not fair. Besides, two-thirds of the monks here have been eliminated. Isn't it too many?"
Seeing a monk coming out to protest, some monks who did not pass the assessment directly made a fuss, saying that the assessment was unfair and that it should not be just a person who would review and evaluate it.
"Okay, don't argue. The monk who was eliminated just now, either because there is no fire or because the fire is too bad, there is no unfairness. The rules are not decided by me. Although I am the only one who reviews, it will definitely not be unfair. The monk who has not been named now leaves quickly, otherwise I will do it myself and move you all out."
The Great Dao God General looked righteous and did not compromise at all. He was not a human, had no feelings. Everything was carried out according to the original owner of the Zhuque Fairy Palace. Some people actually suspected that he was unfair, which was simply a joke.
Seeing that the Dao God General told the reason for his failure, many monks lowered their heads and did not tell anything. They left the second floor of the Pill Pavilion with a look of loss.
Ye Daoxin discovered that in addition to himself, the monks he knew, Ao Jun, Ao Wentian, Huoyun Old Demon, He Qian'an, Han Tao and Zhu Qu, all completed the first mission, and even the burly man stayed.
It seems that although the first mission eliminated two-thirds of the cultivators, it should not be too difficult for cultivators who truly possess fire and can refine pills!
"Okay, the monks who stayed here, your answers are well written. I am quite satisfied. However, whether your answer is correct or not needs to be verified by yourself. This is also the second task of the first level assessment. Use your own methods to improve your spark level on the spot. If you succeed, you will be considered to have passed the first level assessment."
Seeing that all the monks who had not read their names had left, the Great Dao God General directly announced the second mission of the first level.
"What? The second task is to use your own method to improve your own fire?"
As soon as this task was said, many monks were confused. This is too difficult. Their own method is just a hypothesis. It needs to be used for field experiments and immediately improve their own fire. How can it be so simple?
"Yes! Even if our method is correct, where can we find materials to improve the fire seeds for a while? Isn't this a difficult situation for us?"
A monk raised his own questions.
"Yes, are there materials for improving the fire? If not, how can we improve our own fire?"
Some monks were even more straightforward and asked the materials that the Dao God would like to improve the fire. You should know that if the fire of ordinary alchemists can still be improved, how could they wait until now to improve it? They would have improved it outside long ago.
If you really want to improve the fire on site, unless the Dao God will provide relatively high-level materials.
"Haha, don't quarrel. I don't have the materials to provide you with. You don't think about it. There are so many monks who have proposed a variety of methods and all kinds of materials. How could I provide everything?"
I saw that many monks had opinions and wanted to provide materials for fire promotion on site. The Dao God General refused. How could he ask him to find so many top-level materials?
"It is impossible to provide all materials, at least part of them. In this way, all monks use the materials you provide to enhance the fire. Wouldn't that be more fair?"
A monk stood up and made a more reasonable suggestion.
"It is impossible. Each of you monks has different fire types. How can I limit the materials and let everyone promote fire types according to my materials? Isn't that a joke? The rules are like this. They cannot be changed. The methods you proposed by yourself cannot be realized by yourself. How can you say it is a good method? How can you convince me that the method you proposed is correct."
The Great Dao God General once again rejected the suggestions put forward by the monks below and insisted that the rules could not be changed.
"That's not necessarily true. I can't use my own method to improve my own fire. That's because I can't find materials to improve my fire for a while, which does not mean that my method is wrong."
A middle-aged monk stood up and retorted that he was confident in the way he wrote, but he did not have relevant materials, so it was difficult to complete the task.
"Hmph, you are right. Your method may be correct, but it is unrealistic. It cannot be implemented now. I will not let you pass the unrealistic method. I will not talk less. Either do what I said or leave. Even if you cannot improve your own fire, at least you must let me see your actions and prove that your method is correct. You cannot just have theory but no practice."
