Someone else asked, "Master, how do we pass this first test?"
Xue Huan: "The full score of the test is 100, and a score of 60 or above is considered a pass."
"Big Sister, I need to go to the bathroom during the meeting. What should I do? Can I leave for a while?"
Xue Huan: "Of course, but you have to be accompanied by a puppet." She had already set up a formation in the toilet to isolate spiritual energy and spiritual consciousness.
Therefore, if any of these disciples wanted to cheat, it would be impossible for them to succeed.
When everyone had no more questions, Xue Huan announced, "It's now 12:45 AM. The first round of selections has officially begun and will end at 12:45 AM. Everyone, hurry up and do the questions."
She took an hourglass and placed it on the front table so that everyone could see it when they looked up. The hourglass lasted exactly half an hour.
When the sand in the hourglass runs out, the exam will be over.
Xue Huan took out a chair and placed it next to the table, then sat down and began to read leisurely. A cup of tea was placed beside her, and the air was filled with the aroma of tea, creating a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere.
For a moment, the temporary examination room fell silent, and the only sound was the subtle friction of the brushes on the paper as the candidates answered the questions.
While turning the pages of the book, Xue Huan occasionally looked up at the candidates. Wherever her eyes passed, the candidates lowered their heads and answered the questions seriously.
She couldn't help but smile, and her gaze returned to the page.
Half an hour is a very short period of time for a cultivator, and it goes by even faster when doing exercises.
When the last drop of sand fell from the hourglass, Xue Huan closed the book and stood up. "Okay, time's up, the exam is over, everyone put down your writing."
"Huh? So fast? I still have a lot of questions to finish."
"Phew, that was a close call. I managed to finish the last question before the hourglass ran out, but I'm not sure at all. Woohoo..."
"Wait, wait a moment, I only have one last question left..."
Unfortunately, it’s over. Xue Huan had already made the exam time clear in advance, so she naturally wouldn’t show any leniency now. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be unfair to other candidates?
As soon as she raised her hand, all the test papers in front of everyone flew in front of her, lined up one by one and fell on the table, neatly stacked, as if they had their own consciousness.
"Next, I will review the papers on the spot and announce the disciples who have passed the selection. You can move around freely, rest, eat something, etc. It won't take long, the results will be out in about a quarter of an hour."
Upon hearing this, some people were excited and expectant, while others were nervous and anxious. People gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the test paper they had just done and compare the answers.
Xue Huan multitasked, spreading out more than a dozen papers at once, and dividing her spiritual sense into more than a dozen channels. She used one channel of spiritual sense to review each paper, ticking the correct answers and crossing out the wrong answers, and then tallying up the scores.
It only took a minute or two to grade this batch of papers.
She originally said it would take her a quarter of an hour to finish reviewing the papers, but she finished in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Okay, the results are in. Everyone return to your previous seats."
After everyone was seated, Xue Huan had an idea, and the stack of papers flew back one by one, just like they had flown here before, and landed on everyone's desk.
When people saw the scores on their papers, their reactions varied: some were happy, some were disappointed, some were surprised, and some were calm.
Afterwards, Xue Huan took out the photo stone and released the correct answer.
"You can see where you went wrong. Next, I will read out the list of disciples who passed the selection. Don't be discouraged if you didn't pass. The Demon Refining Hall will recruit new students every year. After you go down, keep working hard and strive to pass next time."
There were ninety-eight people who signed up to enter the Medicine Refining Hall, but only fifty-three passed the assessment.
Xue Huan called out the names one by one. Those whose names were called couldn't help but smile with joy. Even those who were more reserved couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, those whose names are called, follow me to participate in the second round of auditions."
After three rounds of selection, only eight people remained.
The pass rate is only about 8%.
However, this did not surprise Xue Huan too much. After all, the three auditions she set up were quite difficult.
After joining the Demon Refining Hall, she will inevitably have to deal with the demon clan frequently, so what she needs are talents with good strength, talent, and character. There is no need to relax the selection standards just to increase the number of people.
It’s pretty good to have eight.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to deal with the demon clan step by step. You can't be too hasty, after all, nothing can be achieved in a hurry.
Given time, these eight people will surely become capable individuals.
By then, it won’t be too late for her to further advance the construction of the Demon Refining Hall.
It was already evening, and large patches of brilliant sunset glow appeared on the horizon. Deep red, light purple, pale pink, orange and yellow, all kinds of colors were blended and intertwined together, but it did not look messy at all. It was like a colorful and saturated oil painting, giving people a strong visual impact.
Xue Huan glanced at the sunset that stretched to the end of her sight, and smiled at the eight disciples who had passed the final selection. "Congratulations on passing the assessment and temporarily becoming a member of the Demon Refining Hall. Why do I say temporarily? Because your passing the assessment and entering the Demon Refining Hall this time is not a permanent commitment. I will assess you every month. If you fail the assessment, I'm sorry, I can only ask you to leave.
"The Demon Refining Hall is different from other halls in the sect. You have to face the demon clan, so danger is inevitable. From now on, you will have to live a life of constant vigilance. If anyone wants to quit, you can tell me at any time. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Cultivators must be enterprising and fight for their lives, but if their lives are gone, everything is gone. Everything disappears into thin air, so saving your own life is the most important thing. Living long enough is also a victory."
Xue Huan made a small joke, and her eyes swept across the faces of the eight new members in front of her one by one. What she saw in their eyes was the confidence of those who couldn't wait to fight the monsters, the solemnity of those who were thinking seriously, and the calmness and determination of those who had thought it through...but there was no timidity or retreat.
Very good, it seems that they have already acquired the basic qualities to become a demon hunter.
The territory within the Huanqing Sect was already fully allocated, leaving no space for the Demon Refining Hall, so Xue Huan simply occupied an independent hill near the Huanqing Sect - Floating Cloud Mountain, and used it as the headquarters of the Demon Refining Hall.
She summoned her own spirit boat and brought eight of her men to Floating Cloud Mountain. She then gave Xiong Chumo and the other eight their first order: "Clear this area. We will use it to build the meeting hall, dormitories, and the like for the Demon Refining Hall."
