Chapter 7 Chapter 7 You dishonest little liar, I curse you to heaven...
After noting down everything, Qi Jiayi rode down the mountain and found his own shop.
When the shopkeeper saw her, he immediately led her to the back hall and went up the stairs to the second floor.
On the second floor of the shop, there is an elegant room specially for chatting.
The steward hurriedly poured spiritual tea for Qi Jiayi: "Miss, please have some tea."
Qi Jiayi handed the sealed box to the steward and said, "Send someone to deliver it to my mother as quickly as possible."
The traitor of the Qi family must be found out. Her cultivation is still low now, so this matter can only be done by her mother.
The steward didn't ask any more questions. He took the box and said respectfully, "Yes, I will arrange for someone to deliver it to Madam."
"By the way, have the Liuxian dress and jewelry I asked you to prepare been delivered?"
"It's here. I'll go get it right away." The manager nodded.
Qi Jiayi suddenly said, "Wait, give me another spirit bead."
The steward was stunned for a few breaths, rummaged through the ring, and said apologetically, "Miss, wait a moment."
The steward didn't understand why the young lady of the Qi family asked him for a spirit pearl when he didn't have one yet.
Qi Jiayi took the spirit bead handed over by the steward and examined it carefully. It was very weak and had almost no spiritual energy.
That beautiful senior sister didn't want a spirit crystal full of spiritual energy, but only a spirit bead.
wack.
--
Leave the town at the foot of the mountain.
After returning to the sect, Qi Jiayi went straight to the Cangjian Pavilion, but did not see the beautiful senior sister who helped her last time.
She wanted to find someone to ask, only to find out that she didn't know the other person's name, major, or which peak he was from.
The person was not wearing the sect disciple uniform. She only caught a glimpse of the disciple token on his body but did not see the peak name clearly.
There are more than 100,000 disciples in Yueyao Sect. It is not easy to find a disciple whose name or faction is unknown among so many disciples.
She now has a bad reputation in the sect forum and is afraid that it will implicate her senior sister.
Qi Jiayi didn't like to owe anyone anything, so she was determined to find the person and repay the favor.
To this end, she even spent money to hire someone to help her find a beautiful senior sister in Cangjian Pavilion, and apart from morning exercises, she also made up for her schoolwork.
Jianfeng and Fufeng have never been able to leave.
Snow Spirit Dog watched her busy every day, but all of it was about cultivation: "Aren't you going to stop your fiancé from meeting Leng Yao?"
“No time.”
It’s none of her business whether they know each other or not; he’s just a man.
She wrote a letter to her mother last time, asking her to cancel the child marriage.
It's rare that she now hates those men who are involved with Leng Yao. In her previous life, they were really crazy and actually competed with her.
But thinking about what the Snow Spirit Dog said, if she was really a person in the book, then her every move would be regulated. Even if she didn't want to, she would fight for those things that were undisputed.
Fortunately, after her rebirth, she was no longer bound.
--
In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the assessment of new disciples.
People started placing bets early on, and the disciples from each peak were the most popular.
After all, those who are selected as personal disciples all have excellent aptitude and comprehension. If they perform worse than the inner disciples in the assessment, it would be a great loss of face.
In the past, there had never been a case of a disciple failing to perform well, so the only bets were placed on who would come in first.
But this year is different, there is an outlier.
"Hahaha, you're stuck again. All this is because they pressured you to fail the assessment."
Ever since getting the token, the Snow Spirit Dog has been laughing while holding the token.
Qi Jiayi ignored it and searched the crowd, wondering if the beautiful senior sister could come to observe the assessment for new disciples.
The furry dog head came over and said, "Lend me some spiritual stones."
"How much?" Qi Jiayi felt something was wrong and looked at the Snow Spirit Dog: "What do you want the spirit stones for?"
If a fellow disciple borrows spirit stones, it is understandable, but how can you, a spirit beast, borrow spirit stones?
"Place your bet. Bet on you to win."
Qi Jiayi raised an eyebrow, his tone full of disbelief: "Do you trust me so much?"
"No, it's just that the odds are too high. They all bet that you will fail the test, but I bet that you will pass. With odds of 1 to 40, if I win, I will make a fortune."
He watched how Qi Jiayi was studying frantically. If she lost, she would have to eat shit.
"How much do you want to borrow?"
"One hundred or one thousand spirit stones, the bigger one."
"Yes, one thousand spirit stones, calculated from the time of borrowing, and the interest is one spirit stone every hour."
The Snow Dog didn't expect that such terrible words could come out of her little mouth: "You are robbing."
This is the first time I heard of interest being calculated based on the time of borrowing.
"Will you lend it to me?"
The Snow Spirit Dog raised its paw and said, "Please wait for the borrowing. Let's talk about the salary."
Qi Jiayi swiped across the token and pulled out a bill that showed the cost of raising spiritual beasts from the peak master to the ordinary disciples at the Beast Taming Peak.
"Just the high-level animal food you eat this month costs at least 5,000 spirit stones, and you don't do anything on a daily basis. You have no fighting ability, are you sure you want to negotiate a salary with me?"
The Snow Dog was not convinced: "I provided emotional value, aren't you happy to hear those gossips?"
"If you want to calculate it this way, you have to compensate me with spirit stones." If it weren't for her good self-control, she would have been unable to train because of the noise.
The Snow Dog opened and closed its mouth, and its tone softened: "For normal borrowing and repayment, the interest is calculated based on the number of days."
"I'll go by the hour. Do you want to borrow it?"
Snow Dog: "Lower interest, I'm broke now."
"Okay, since you can't run away, I'll give you half a spirit stone as interest."
Snow Dog: "...Thank you."
"You're welcome." Qi Jiayi took out a thousand spirit stones from the token and gave it to it.
Just as I finished, a shadow was cast in front of me.
An annoying voice also sounded: "You failed the personal disciple assessment. I don't think you have the nerve to stay in the Beast Taming Peak."
Tang Jin and Leng Yao also appeared with Su Chuwei. Compared with Su Chuwei's foul-mouthed character, the other two were very quiet.
Qi Jiayi: "I have been in the sect for eight years and have not passed the entrance examination, but I am still doing well in the Beast Taming Peak. Compared to Fellow Daoist Su's thick skin, I admit that I am not as good as him."
Su Chuwei glared at her: "Don't slander me, I didn't take the exam, I didn't fail."
Qi Jiayi curled his lips: "Ha."
Su Chuwei's face turned red with anger. Tang Jin held him back with one hand and said, "Have you forgotten what Master said?"
It is forbidden for fellow disciples to kill each other.
Su Chuwei's eyes were filled with anger, but he could not do anything to Qi Jiayi.
The senior brother in charge of the assessment began to drive people away: "The assessment for new disciples is about to begin. Those who are going to take the assessment should take their seats. The rest of the disciples should leave the assessment venue."
Su Chuwei, like an old mother, told Leng Yao: "Don't be nervous, Junior Sister. You attend class seriously every day, so there will be no problem with the written test. You are not like some people who have a bad attitude."
Qi Jiayi stood up and glanced at the side: "Junior sister didn't see any nervousness, but some people were very nervous, as if he was going to take an exam."
Su Chuwei retorted with disgust on his face: "Why do you care? What does it have to do with you when I talk to my junior sister?"
Qi Jiayi took two steps, turned around and looked at Su Chuwei provocatively: "Did I mention his name? Why are you so desperate, Brother Su? Oh, you don't dare to take the exam, so you deliberately let Junior Sister not be at ease in the exam, tut tut tut... you are so scheming."
"Smelly bitch... mmm..."
Before Su Chuwei could even curse, Tang Jin covered his mouth tightly.
Qi Jiayi withdrew the "bad breath charm" from his fingertips with some regret.
Su Chuwei was born a beggar in the mortal world. Although he was brought back to Yueyao Sect, the experience of being beaten, scolded and looked down upon since childhood has always been deeply buried in his heart.
I can usually pretend to be a decent person, but I’m afraid that some memories will be brought back.
She had seen him swearing at a female cultivator. His words were so dirty that they made the female cultivator cry.
She didn't understand why she tolerated Su Chuwei's slander and criticism of her in her previous life. Perhaps it was the power of the plot.
But in this life, I can fight back and feel relieved.
Leng Yao waited for a while until Qi Jiayi slowly walked to her side. She pursed her lips and said, "Fourth Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother is not a bad person, he just has some..."
"Hate on the rich, I understand. Don't worry, I won't curse him behind his back anymore."
Qi Jiayi walked past Leng Yao without stopping, but she walked very slowly and looked quite clumsy.
Leng Yao was sitting next to Qi Jiayi. She took a seat with Jiaolong, attracting the attention of all the disciples.
And Qi Jiayi is just the contrast with her.
It is well known that the Snow Dog is loyal and is best trained as a mount, but it is much weaker in combat.
Therefore, although Qi Jiayi contracted two spirit beasts at one time, no one envied or jealous her. After all, there were a lot of better spirit beasts than this one. The disciples should also thank her for picking up the garbage in advance and leaving them with better choices.
Especially in the last few steps, Qi Jiayi's pace was almost as fast as a turtle, which gave them hope.
Many disciples began to whisper to each other.
"When I think about the fact that my direct disciple will be at the bottom this time, I am not panicked at all."
"Me too, me too."
"Haha, I heard some senior brothers and sisters complaining about their bad luck yesterday."
Joy filled the air among the disciples, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Leng Yao and Jiaolong glanced at Qi Jiayi. Leng Yao wanted to speak to comfort him, but saw Qi Jiayi fiddling with his disciple token with his head down, not paying attention to the sounds around him.
--
The Mission Hall is responsible for the assessment of new disciples, which is divided into two parts: written test and martial arts test.
The written test tests the disciples' knowledge of the sect's history, as well as basic pill recipes, basic talismans, basic forging equipment, basic sound attack, etc.
The martial arts test is to test the disciples' cultivation speed in the past month, so that the mission hall can assign tasks according to the disciples' cultivation level in the future.
The assessment ranking also affects the difficulty and quality of the tasks assigned to the disciples in the future.
Ding-a-ling~
The person in charge of the Mission Hall rang the bell in his hand. The clear sound of the bell echoed across the square with just the right amount of deterrence. The scene that was just a hot topic disappeared in an instant.
Qi Jiayi glanced at the bell in the steward's hand, which was similar to the beast-taming bell.
This is training the disciples like spirit beasts.
"Attention new disciples from all peaks, the written test is about to begin. Put away your belongings. The test is rigorous and strict. Cheating is prohibited. Violators will be expelled from the sect."
As the steward spoke, everyone hurriedly put away their weapons, magic tools, pots and pans, contracted beasts, etc.
The written test lasts one and a half hours.
After the written test, there is the physical test immediately without any rest time.
When the written test began, the only sound in the entire square was the sound of engraving pens.
The bell in the steward's hand rang again: "Time is up, collect the jade slip."
Qi Jiayi put away the engraving pen, and the jade slip in front of him automatically rolled up and flew in front of the steward.
The martial arts test was the same as in the previous life, where a monster was randomly picked to fight, and the time limit was also one and a half hours.
In her previous life, Qi Jiayi ranked ninth in the written test, and Leng Yao ranked first.
And then it came to the martial arts test.
In her previous life, she was the fifth one to pass the battle against the eight-armed blood bear.
Leng Yao drew the Nine Nether Skylark. Because the spirit beast that Leng Yao contracted was an egg and had no combat capabilities, Leng Yao ranked last in the martial arts test.
But as a blessing in disguise, he learned from Jiuyou Yunque how to hatch his own contracted beast, and that's how Qingluan came into being.
After her rebirth, Leng Yao contracted a dragon, and the Qingluan egg was still in the sect.
She was a little curious about what would happen to them without Qingluan in this life. Qingluan had the attribute of fire, and she had no spiritual beast for them to rely on.
Mission Hall Manager: "All disciples, come forward and draw your own battle beasts in turn."
Qi Jiayi drew the Queen Bee this time.
The Snow Spirit Dog kept an eye on Leng Yao: "The heroine drew the Nine Nether Skylark."
Qi Jiayi put away her sign card. Hers had changed, but Leng Yao's hadn't.
Unlike the written test, the martial arts test allows the use of all the magical instruments, weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc. on your body.
Entering the trial field, in the center of the huge trial field, there was flying a thumb-sized queen bee with yellow and black stripes.
The Snow Dog looked at the cute little bee the size of a thumb, and looked at Qi Jiayi in disbelief: "Are you the vicious female supporting role? You are so lucky."
Qi Jiayi was not as happy as it thought: "Okay?"
The Snow Spirit Dog continued, "You didn't bribe the disciples who drew lots, did you?"
Qi Jiayi looked at the sly expression of the Snow Dog and patted its head: "Smile more if you can."
I guess I won’t be able to laugh anymore.
The Snow Dog didn't understand what was going on, but the next moment, it heard a lot of buzzing sounds. There was only one queen bee just now, but now there were countless of them above its head.
Snow Spirit Dog: "...Is it too late for me to apply for a refund of the spirit stone now?"
Being stung by a bee can be fatal.
Without waiting for Qi Jiayi to answer, swarms of Queen Bees swarmed over and attacked the man and two spirit beasts.
The Snow Dog suddenly collapsed to the ground, covering its ears with its paws: "It's so noisy, ahhhh, so noisy."
Qi Jiayi had no time to despise it, so he took out a magic weapon to cover it, and at the same time, he made hand seals with his hands, and dozens of earth needles as long as arms floated in the air.
Following her gestures, she moved towards the Queen Bee.
The earth needles pierced through the body of the queen bee. There were dozens of queen bees strung on one earth needle. The earth needles fell to the ground and shattered, and the bodies of the queen bees also fell to the ground.
Qi Jiayi hurriedly took out a few blasting talismans and threw them out.
With a few loud bangs, hundreds of queen bee corpses fell to the ground.
There were only a few hundred corpses, nothing to mention compared to the thousands of queen bees flying in the air.
Qi Jiayi used magic to fight back while also attacking with talismans.
There are too many queen bees and they are too dense to be cleared out.
Seeing more and more queen bees attacking her, Qi Jiayi quickly made a hand gesture to form a wall of earth to block the attacking queen bees.
She quickly dodged.
Looking at the densely packed queen bees, Qi Jiayi frowned.
The Black Iron Turtle has no attacking ability, and the Snow Spirit Dog collapsed to the ground and wailed before it was even hit. It was a waste.
Even though Qi Jiayi had many elixirs, talismans and magical weapons on him, the trial field was so small that there was nowhere to escape.
She didn't know if she could hold on until the end of the martial arts test.
Although water needles and talismans were continuously thrown out to blow up the queen bees, and there was a thick layer of corpses piled up on the ground, the buzzing sound in the air did not decrease, but instead increased.
Looking from the outside, one could no longer see the people inside. All one could see were countless densely packed queen bees, forming a circle that surrounded the people and spirit beasts.
Outside the trial field.
"Why doesn't she use fire attack? The talisman explosion alone is not enough."
"Using fire attack won't work either. The queen bee reproduces too quickly. You can only try it if you have a single fire spiritual root and sufficient spiritual power."
"It is said that a senior brother once used a fire attack, and the entire trial field was a sea of fire. He almost passed it."
“This didn’t pass?”
"That brother burned all his spiritual energy and used up all his energy, but he didn't notice that there was a sting on his clothes. As a result, he was stung on his butt and instantly lost the ability to resist, and failed."
Everyone: “…”
"Who is it? So unlucky."
Inside the trial field.
Looking at the light green round shields erected all around, Qi Jiayi panted and looked at the black iron turtle with satisfaction: "Xiaojiu, you are really the most useful. I will reward you with a month's worth of high-level beast food when you go out."
The jade slip said that the Black Iron Turtle had to build its foundation before it could master the tortoise shell shield. The latest one would probably have to reach the late foundation building stage or even the golden elixir stage.
But Xiaojiu's cultivation level was at the ninth level of Qi training, and he had already mastered the tortoise shell shield, which helped her at the critical moment.
The black iron turtle slowly raised his head: "Exchange it into spirit stones."
"no problem."
Qi Jiayi sat cross-legged in meditation while looking around. The queen bees were reproducing too fast. Although she had killed quite a few of them, they had now surrounded the tortoise shell shield.
"How long can your tortoise shell shield last?"
The monsters in the trial field are not real monsters, but are formed by the gathering of spiritual power. Their strength can be controlled according to the disciples' own cultivation.
Even so, the attacks suffered by the disciples from the monsters were the most real.
Black Iron Turtle: "Maybe it can only last five minutes at most. Find a way to deal with it as soon as possible."
Qi Jiayi glanced at the talisman in the ring. If it was covered with tortoise shell shields, it would explode the moment the shield disappeared.
This method is feasible, but whether it can kill the queen bee at the same time is unknown.
Especially since the explosive talisman in his hand is only enough to be used once.
The Snow Dog, paralyzed by the buzzing noise, sat on the ground. Seeing that she was trying to figure out a solution but couldn't, he said, "I have a way. Although it can't kill all the queen bees, it can keep us alive."
Qi Jiayi was surprised: "What method?"
"Cover yourself in mud to mask your scent. The queen bee won't sting you if it can't find your scent."
Qi Jiayi has dual spiritual root attributes of water and earth, so it is not difficult for him to use some earth and water.
"Then you go out and try it first." As he said that, Qi Jiayi covered the snow dog with mud.
She didn't believe this method would work, so she could only let the Snow Spirit Dog go out to see if it worked.
Looking at the densely packed queen bees around him, the Snow Dog widened his eyes and said, "You want to kill me? You promised not to let me die."
"You broke your oath, I curse you to be struck by lightning."
The snow dog roared and was covered in mud, which became dirtier as it twisted.
Qi Jiayi moved aside and said, "You proposed it yourself, so naturally you should try it."
The black iron turtle looked at the mud and said, "...Can the water in this mud be pumped out?"
"Yes." Qi Jiayi said casually.
Her attention was now all on the talisman in her hand, thinking about how she could kill the remaining queen bee after the explosion.
A gleam of light flashed in the black iron turtle's green bean-sized eyes: "I have an idea."
Outside the trial field.
Some disciples had already been eliminated due to being unable to withstand the attacks of the monsters.
"I thought the first person to be eliminated would be the disciple from the Beast Taming Peak."
"That's right. I increased my stakes and lost money."
"It's not a loss. The Queen Bees are almost filling up the trial field. Even if I'm a direct disciple, I definitely can't hold out for more than a few dozen breaths, let alone an hour and a half."
On the other side, Su Chuwei, who was waiting for Leng Yao, also kept his eyes on Qi Jiayi's trial field, waiting to see when she would be eliminated.
The trial field was changing rapidly, and the sudden changes shocked everyone.
The manager in charge of statistics said in a loud voice: "The first place in the martial arts test is Qi Jiayi, a disciple of the Beast Taming Peak."
Su Chuwei stood up instantly: "Impossible!"
The other disciples also couldn't believe it.
"She, she, she..."
"Passed? She actually strangled all the queen bees."
"It's over. I lost everything."
