Chapter 105
"Seventh Elder, the third level tests whether the opponent suffers from mental illness."
The disciple who was in charge of designing the third level said seriously,
As if this was a crucial decision,
"Generally speaking, if the cultivators themselves have some mental illness, then even if they succeed in cultivation in the future, they may bring disaster to the world."
Hearing this, Ye Qingping's mouth twitched slightly.
I secretly sighed in my heart:
Whose idea was this?
They actually use this method to select immortal cultivators!
What inevitable connection could there be between cultivating immortals and mental illness?
He couldn't help but have some doubts about this assessment.
But he still waved his hand casually, indicating that it was time to start.
Following his command, a gorgeous illusion unfolded as fast as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, all the candidates who passed the second level were enveloped.
The first person to enter the illusion to take the test,
There is no doubt that it was Ye Xiuxiu.
Ye Xiuxiu stood in the illusion and looked around.
I found that the environment here is completely different from before.
However, compared to her initial panic, she now seemed much calmer.
After all, she had already gone through the first two tests.
I have been mentally prepared for this sudden change.
She knew very well that this was just another test.
As long as you stay calm, you will be able to pass it smoothly.
Ye Xiuxiu stood in the middle of the bamboo forest.
The bamboos around are lush and green.
As if it surrounded her tightly.
In front of her, there was a huge ceramic bathtub.
The bathtub was full of water, and the surface was as calm as a mirror.
On Ye Xiuxiu's left hand side, there is a spoon for eating.
The spoon is small and looks ordinary.
On her right hand side, there was a large ladle filled with water.
The big ladle looked a little worn out, obviously having been used for some time.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Ye Xiuxiu's ears:
"Young man, please get all the water out of the bathtub as quickly as possible."
The voice came without warning, catching Ye Xiuxiu off guard.
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Xiuxiu immediately began to observe the surrounding environment.
She first looked at the iron spoon on her left hand.
Then he looked at the gourd on his right hand side.
It seems to be thinking about how to use these tools to complete the task.
After some thought, Ye Xiuxiu finally made a decision.
She slowly took out her own Qiankun Creation Cauldron from her storage ring. The cauldron was pitch black.
It is covered with ancient runes.
Exudes a mysterious atmosphere.
The moment Ye Xiuxiu took out the Qiankun Creation Cauldron,
The surrounding disciples and Ye Qingping all widened their eyes.
His face was full of astonishment.
They obviously didn't expect Ye Xiuxiu to come up with such a magic weapon to deal with this seemingly simple task.
“What are you going to do!”
Someone couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
However, before everyone could react,
The disciple who designed this level hurriedly shouted in the illusion:
"You can only use the materials in this scene, you can't use anything else!"
There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.
She seemed very surprised by Ye Xiuxiu's behavior.
Ye Xiuxiu shouted:
"Don't worry, I won't use any other materials!"
Hearing this,
The disciple finally felt relieved.
There was an expression of relief on his face.
Ye Xiuxiu herself also seemed very confident.
She firmly believed that her choice would never be wrong.
However, just when the disciple breathed a sigh of relief,
Something unexpected happened.
Ye Xiuxiu threw the whistle and the ladle into the Qiankun Creation Cauldron without hesitation!
This move shocked everyone, especially the disciple who designed the third level.
He widened his eyes and looked at Ye Xiuxiu in disbelief.
Seeing this, Ye Qingping immediately turned his gaze to the disciple.
His eyes were full of dissatisfaction and questioning: "Is this what you mean by only using the materials in the scene?"
The corners of the disciple's mouth kept twitching, and he was obviously embarrassed and helpless about Ye Qingping's questioning.
He quickly explained: "I... I mean, you can't use your own magic weapon, but I didn't know she would use the things in the scene to refine the weapon!"
However, Ye Xiuxiu had no idea about their argument.
She stared at the Qiankun Creation Cauldron with full concentration.
I saw that the refining speed in the cauldron was as fast as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, a silver-white treasure gourd flew out from the cauldron.
Ye Xiuxiu was quick to grab the treasure gourd in her hand and whispered, "Collect!"
In a flash, the treasure gourd seemed to have life.
He opened his mouth instantly.
A powerful suction force gushed out from it.
It's just a blink of an eye.
All the water in the bathtub seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand.
It was quickly sucked into the magic gourd.
Ye Xiuxiu smiled happily and said:
"Am I fast?"
As she spoke, she proudly showed off what she had just refined.
The disciple looked at the "whistle and ladle" in Ye Xiuxiu's hand.
The corners of my mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He muttered to himself: "Does this count as a pass?"
However, he did not dare to easily deny Ye Xiuxiu's achievements.
After all, the Seventh Elder thinks highly of her.
If he failed her test, he would probably be severely punished by the Seventh Elder.
With no other options, the disciple could only bite the bullet and give Ye Xiuxiu a pass.
"Quick, pass the first level!"
There was a hint of reluctance in his voice.
Immediately afterwards, it was the turn of the second person participating in the third level - Ye Ruyan.
Like Ye Xiuxiu, she was surrounded by the same environment.
The dense bamboo forest surrounded her tightly.
In front of her, there was a huge ceramic bathtub, and on her left hand side was a spoon for eating.
On the right hand side is a large ladle for holding water.
At this moment, another voice sounded:
"Young man, please get all the water out of the bathtub as quickly as possible."
Ye Ruyan looked at the spoon in front of her calmly.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a scornful smile.
"Even a fool knows that you can't use this spoon."
She thought to herself.
Ye Ruyan's eyes fell on the gourd again.
She reached out and picked it up without hesitation.
Prepare to use it to hold water.
However, just when her hand was about to touch the ladle,
She suddenly stopped moving as if she had been electrocuted.
A thought flashed through her mind:
Using a ladle to scoop water is not the right way!
Because, she noticed there was a drain at the bottom of the bathtub.
Just unplug the drain.
The water will flow out naturally.
Ye Ruyan quickly rolled up her sleeves and carefully reached her hand into the bathtub.
After groping for it, I found the plug.
She gripped the plug tightly and pulled hard.
With a "pop" sound, the plug was easily pulled out.
In an instant, the water in the bathtub seemed to be cast by magic.
A huge whirlpool was formed, flowing happily along the drain, making a "splashing" sound.
In a short while, all the water flowed cleanly through the drain.
It was as if the bathtub had never been filled with water.
When the last drop of water disappeared,
A low and solemn voice sounded in the air:
"Congratulations, young man, you are a normal person and you made the choice that a normal person should make!"
Ye Qingping stood aside and witnessed all this, and suddenly an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
He originally thought that the mentally ill would choose to use a whistle.
Normal people would choose to use a ladle to solve the problem.
But he never expected that
A truly normal person would actually pull the plug so directly!
He stared at the scene in the illusion, silent.
But I couldn't help feeling a little offended.
He began to doubt whether his judgment was correct.
At the same time, it also made me think more deeply about this seemingly simple test.
The disciple who designed the third level excitedly asked Ye Qingping for credit.
"Seventh Elder, you see, I knew there was nothing wrong with the level I designed!"
The disciple who designed the second level rolled his eyes at him.
"You are too happy too early. I was just as happy just now."
"If nothing goes wrong during the third assessment, then you'll be considered capable."
Ye Qingping glanced at him gloomily.
Just took a look, but didn't say anything.
The third person who took the third test was Chen Guandong.
The same environment is placed around Chen Guandong.
Next to it is still surrounded by the lush bamboo forest.
In front of him was a large ceramic bathtub.
On the left hand side is a spoon for eating.
On the right hand side there is a large ladle filled with water.
Another voice sounded,
"Young man, now get all the water out of the bathtub as quickly as possible."
Chen Guandong kept observing.
As soon as I entered the fantasy world,
He silently recited the four characters "人" in his mind.
The disciple who designed the third level was very happy.
He excitedly asked Ye Qingping for credit:
"Seventh Elder, look, I told you there is absolutely no problem with the level I designed!"
There was an irrepressible smugness in his voice.
However, the disciple who was designing the second level rolled his eyes at him disapprovingly and sneered:
"Don't be too happy too soon. I was just as excited as you. What was the result?"
"If nothing goes wrong during the third assessment, then you'll be considered capable."
The disciple who designed the third level didn't take his ridicule seriously.
Still responded confidently,
"Your dish is that,"
"If you're not good at it, practice more!"
Seeing this, Ye Qingping just glanced at the disciple who designed the third level and said nothing.
But there seemed to be some deep meaning in that look that was hard to fathom.
At this time, the third person to take the test was Chen Guandong.
He stood in the same environment as the previous two.
It is surrounded by dense bamboo forests.
It feels like being in a green ocean.
In front of him, there was a huge ceramic bathtub.
It was filled with water.
On the left side of the bathtub,
A spoon for eating is placed on it;
On the right side is a large ladle for holding water.
As Chen Guandong was observing all this carefully,
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears:
"Young man, please drain all the water out of the bathtub as quickly as possible."
After hearing this request, Chen Guandong did not act immediately.
Instead, he continued to calmly observe the surrounding environment and objects.
The moment he stepped into the illusion,
He silently repeated four words in his mind...
"Convince people with reason!"
"Convince people with reason!"
"Convince people with reason!"
Chen Guandong closed his eyes tightly and muttered something.
After repeating those words three times in my mind,
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of determination flashed in them.
He suddenly thrust out his fist.
He used all his strength to smash into the ceramic bathtub.
There was only a loud bang.
The seemingly sturdy ceramic bathtub was actually as soft as paper and was smashed into countless pieces in an instant.
Along with this loud noise,
The water in the bathtub splashed everywhere like a swarm of disturbed bees.
“Crash!”
The water splashed everywhere, splashing on the ground around.
A wet puddle was formed.
This speed is so fast that it is jaw-dropping.
It seemed that only when Ye Xiuxiu used magic weapon to take the water away could it be compared with it.
However, this scene shocked the disciples who were watching the third level of the illusion effect from outside.
Their faces turned pale as paper in an instant, obviously they had not expected such a situation to happen.
In comparison, the disciple who designed the second level seemed much more relaxed, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
Sure enough, just as he expected, the questions in the second level had nothing to do with him.
After seeing this scene, Ye Qingping
I roughly understood the reason in my heart.
Obviously, all this was caused by the fact that Xiuxiu and Chen Guandong did not play by the rules.
Not long after, the third level test finally ended.
However, when the results came out, everyone was shocked.
Among those who were tested at this level,
More than 90% of the people were diagnosed with mental illness.
And the way they chose to pass the level was to use a ladle.
Ye Qingping looked at this incredible result.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that the design of this third level is simply flawed!
Is there any way to test whether a person is mentally ill?
This is a complete farce!
Fortunately, only senior internal personnel can see this information. Otherwise, if it gets out,
That would only make the outside world have a deeper impression of the Qingyun Sect's dishonesty.
The selection of new disciples to join the sect is also proceeding in a tense and orderly manner.
After layers of screening and strict assessment,
The list of more than one hundred new disciples who stood out was finally finalized.
Among these many new disciples,
Ye Xiuxiu is undoubtedly the most dazzling one.
She became the well-deserved senior sister with absolute advantage.
In the second level, the amount of bread she obtained was astonishing, far ahead of other disciples;
In the third level, her speed of releasing water was as fast as lightning, which was jaw-dropping.
In contrast, although Chen Guandong and Ye Xiuxiu obtained the same amount of bread in the second level,
However, he was slightly inferior in the speed of releasing water in the third level, and finally he could only be ranked second as the junior brother.
