Xu Jia was in charge, Xu Gong was in charge of talking, and Huang Tianba was in charge of cooking.

Hall Master Li Feiyu, Palace Master Zhao Ran, Scripture Master Jiang Li, Transformation Master Zhang Can, and Stillness Master Gu Xinyuan.

Jiao Ci, the head of the dormitory, and Sun Hongbo, the head of the pharmacy…

With Jiao Fei's "explanation," Bai Cang quickly got to know all the high-ranking members of the Sanyin Temple.

The "blue-robed" players on the field were even more excited, but no one dared to make a sound, and they even became more careful with their breathing.

They were arranged in neat rows according to their respective courtyards.

This, on the contrary, makes Bai Cang and Jiao Fei, the two "Qingyi" characters, stand out even more.

On the high platform, the bigwigs sat down directly according to their rank.

Unless there are extremely special circumstances, such as someone wanting to "rescue the execution ground" or taking a fancy to someone and wanting to personally bring them under their wing.

Otherwise, the big shots usually don't get involved; it's as if they're just going through the motions to show that they value it.

Therefore, this time the inner court assessment was actually presided over by the dormitory staff.

"Today's assessment consists of three parts. Those who pass will be allowed to enter the inner courtyard."

The head of the dormitory, Jiao Ci, spoke softly but with great authority: "First, let's assess your talents. Those whose names are heard, please come down from the stage."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cang looked up and saw that his "cheap adopted uncle" was indeed aptly named.

He was well-off and had a kind and benevolent appearance, much like Maitreya Buddha, which contrasted sharply with his stern voice.

"Zhao Nan, Xu Jiang, Gu Yue... Jiao Fei."

Just then, Jiao Ci had already called out seven or eight names, with Jiao Fei being the last one.

Bai Cang's name was not among them, which clearly meant that he had been replaced by "Jiao Fei".

"Brother Bai, I'll go first."

Jiao Fei glanced at Bai Cang with slight surprise upon seeing this, then stepped off the stage.

The first assessment item is read as "endowment" and written as "relationship".

You can tell from their surnames.

Jiao Fei's surprise was that Bai Cang, despite having strong connections, was not listed as "Jiao Fei".

But he didn't take it to heart. Perhaps Brother Bai disdained using back channels and was only interested in showing off in front of others.

Bai Cang, who had already established a tall and imposing image in Jiao Fei's mind, had no idea that this little brother was so confident in himself.

In fact, Bai Cang was extremely anxious at this moment, frequently glancing at "Master Sun" on the high platform.

However, the other party ignored him and eventually even closed his eyes.

Just then, Jiao Ci glanced around at the monks in the dormitories below the stage and suddenly said, "Chen, you will take charge from now on."

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xunzhao clasped his hands in agreement, stepped forward to the platform, stared at Bai Cang meaningfully for three seconds, and then said in a strong voice: "This assessment concerns your fate. Everyone must give it your all."

"Anyone who conceals anything will be punished as a traitor!"

"Those who pass the examination will be exempt from labor service and can concentrate on practicing their skills. They will receive ten taels of silver, three pills, and a certain amount of medicinal food per month..."

Chen Xunzhao spoke eloquently and fluently, which excited the outer disciples, but Bai Cang became increasingly wary.

Compared to before, the treatment of inner court disciples has increased several times over.

This is what Bai Cang is most wary of: there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Even if there were a free lunch, it could never be the Three Yin Temple.

Especially Chen Xunzhao's words "No secrets shall be kept," Bai Cang always felt that they were implied, and even felt that they were directed at him.

"...The second item is the test of stance training. Anyone who has mastered the Hunyuan stance can pass the test and enter the inner courtyard. Those who have perfected the stance will be listed as elite disciples of the inner courtyard, and their benefits will be doubled."

Chen Xunzhao waved his hand and said, "Now, all those who have mastered the Hunyuan Stance, step forward!"

These words immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

Many outer disciples looked disappointed, clearly not having mastered the Hunyuan Stance to a "proficient" level.

Bai Cang looked around and found that only about one-tenth of the outer court disciples had met the requirements to pass the inner court assessment.

However, his grandson did not step forward. Instead, he mingled among the crowd who had been "rejected," completely ignoring the strange looks from others.

"Testing stance skills is the fairest test."

Just then, Chen Xunzhao suddenly walked up to the crowd and walked past Bai Cang intentionally or unintentionally, saying, "If you can't even pass the stance test, then there's even less hope for the other tests."

"Similarly, if someone deliberately conceals their shortcomings, they will be punished as a traitor. I hope some people will be like rats sucking at the bottom of their mouths."

As soon as he said this, all eyes in the room turned to Bai Cang.

After all, he was the only one in the entire venue who was eliminated in the stance training exercise while wearing a blue robe, so it was hard for him not to attract attention.

The cacophony of whispers had drowned out all other sounds.

Various disdainful, contemptuous, and jealous gazes pierced Bai Cang like needles.

Their thinking was simple: Bai Cang enjoyed the treatment of an inner court disciple ahead of time, but was not even as good as an outer court disciple. He was simply a piece of trash.

There were even jokes and banter in the audience, such as "the god of ditches" and "selling ditches".

If it were an ordinary teenager, he would probably be sweating profusely, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and sitting on pins and needles by now.

However, Bai Cang remained unmoved, pretending not to hear.

Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain ridge.

Moreover, he didn't take the gossip to heart at all.

If Bai Cang hadn't known about the hidden pitfall within the Hunyuan Stake, he might have been provoked and couldn't resist showing off in front of others, humiliating Chen Xunzhao and the others.

But right now, he hasn't lived enough yet, how could he be so foolish as to go and die?

At worst, I can become a mountain patrolman. With a cheat code, how can I not turn things around?

Moreover, Bai Cang held a trump card and was therefore very confident.

Although we have prepared for the worst, that is just one in a million chances.

Such clumsy methods as those of Chen Xunzhao were not enough to shake Bai Cang's resolve.

"Hmph! Stubborn and ignorant, utterly courting death!"

Seeing this, Chen Xunzhao let out a barely perceptible cold snort as he passed by Bai Cang.

Then he shouted loudly, "Chen Anping, you're the first one to be tested!"

"yes!"

Chen Anping stepped out and assumed a stance resembling a Hunyuan stance.

In an instant, several gazes were cast over from the high platform.

Even the three capitals and five rulers couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

"This is……"

A masterful mastery of the Hunyuan stance?!

"Bang!"

The next moment.

Chen Anping assumed a fighting stance, and the whistling wind from his punches caused the air to explode.

Several people on the high platform rose up with a flick of their sleeves, but it was the fastest, Master Jing, Gu Xinyuan, who took the lead, saying, "The Hunyuan stance is complete, and true qi arises naturally. What a fine young man!"

"Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

"This disciple is willing!" Chen Anping said excitedly, immediately bowing down to the ground.

Chen Xunzhao also announced at the opportune moment, "Chen Anping has passed the examination with flying colors and has been accepted as a disciple of Master Gu. He has been listed as an elite disciple of the inner court and can be taught the 'Hun Yuan Golden Body Skill'."

After saying that, Chen Xunzhao glanced at Bai Cang intentionally or unintentionally, and then said loudly, "This is a direct lineage to the innate realm. If one cultivates it to a deep level, one can obtain the opportunity to enter the Dao."

"Today, by the abbot's decree: all those who have mastered the Hunyuan Stance to a state of consummate skill may receive this technique and be ranked among the elite disciples of the inner academy!"
