It's time for the assessment?
He thought so and asked so.
Qin Baoyao nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, we can't let everyone suffer, right?"
After hearing this, Bu Jitong was silent for a while and decided that the next time his junior sister went out for training, he would shamelessly ask for a spot to go along.
But at the moment, he had other things to do. He took out the Yang Yuan Dan that his master had made using the Red Sun Fruit and handed it to Qin Baoyao: "Junior Sister Baoyao, my master said thank you for the Red Sun Fruit. This is for you."
Qin Baoyao didn't bother to take it. She was still chewing on a new rabbit leg in her hand. She pointed to the small table next to her and vaguely asked Ji Tong to put the food there, and then she kindly invited him to eat with her.
Before Bu Jitong could refuse, Shi Yue put the roasted rabbit meat to the other side and said, "If you want to eat it, roast it yourself."
Qin Baoyao glanced at Shi Yue, who had an expression that said, "Don't even think about giving him what I grilled." So she held her forehead helplessly and said to Bu Jitong, "Brother, then grill it yourself." After that, she gestured for him to get the raw rabbit meat on the side.
"Hmm?" Qin Baoyao looked at Bu Jitong in confusion and added, "Don't be polite, Senior Brother. I have plenty of spirit rabbits. I can't eat them all."
"Oh oh oh." The third-level spirit rabbit was quite tempting to him. It was not that he couldn't catch it, but it was difficult to get, and he couldn't just roast it and eat it like his junior sister.
So he sat down shamelessly, picked up the processed rabbit meat and started roasting it.
With a mouthful of rabbit meat and a sip of snow ginseng tea, they were all completely satisfied with the meal. However, it was a pity for those who were wandering back and forth outside Qin Baoyao's yard. They could smell the meat but couldn't eat it.
It was almost dark when Bu Jitong came out with a piece of freshly roasted rabbit in his hand, ready to give it to the chef to try while it was still hot.
After Qin Baoyao sent the person out, she closed the door and ran away.
The people loitering at the door had no time to stop her and ask her questions.
Qin Baoyao sat down and watched Shi Yue busying around packing things and using cleaning techniques to sweep the yard.
"Shi Yue, do you have a master?" she suddenly asked.
Shi Yue was stunned: "Senior Sister, are you kidding? Where can people like us find a master?"
"This kind of person?"
"Yes, to put it nicely, they are outer disciples, but actually they do menial work." What Shi Yue said was not wrong. Inner disciples mainly practiced, and although they also took tasks, they were all relatively advanced tasks. In addition, inner disciples could receive much more resources than outer disciples.
Outer disciples are all people with medium to low-level spiritual roots, and can usually only do some odd jobs or take on some low-level tasks.
Although both inner and outer disciples have teachers, they are ultimately just entry-level courses.
He glanced at Qin Baoyao. If she didn't have a good pair of parents, with her spiritual roots and cultivation level, she would be the lowest-level servant among the outer disciples and could only do some cleaning work.
Qin Baoyao sensed from Shi Yue's eyes that he thought he was useless, and her eyes widened: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing." He thought for a moment, then asked Qin Baoyao with a hint of doubt: "Senior Sister, the test is coming up in a few days, aren't you going to class yet?"
The news that Qin Baoyao had been absent from classes under the pretext of recuperating from an injury had spread everywhere. However, Guiyi Sect had a rule that while one could skip classes, one had to participate in assessments.
He felt that he had an obligation to remind her. After all, Qin Baoyao had been nice to him these days, and from his observation, Qin Baoyao should have forgotten about it.
"Oh, the assessment..."
“Assessment??!!!” Qin Baoyao screamed!
It’s over, it’s over! How could she have forgotten about this?
"Starting tomorrow?"
"Yes, it starts tomorrow."
She hurriedly took out her book to cram for the exam, but she stopped after taking out the book.
Why am I so nervous? Didn't we agree to just lie down and be a worthless loser?
In the past, even if I worked hard to get first place in the theoretical exam, I would still have to participate in the training because of unsatisfactory results in the practical courses. But this time, forget it, I won’t insist on it. Anyway, I will definitely fail the spiritual power test again.
Guiyi Sect's assessments are divided into theoretical assessments, practical assessments, and spiritual power tests. Generally speaking, the spiritual power test is primarily used to assess whether disciples have the ability to withstand the heavenly thunderbolts required for advancement. Although for those in the Qi Refining Stage, advancing one small level will only result in three heavenly thunderbolts, insufficient spiritual power can still be life-threatening. There was once a senior disciple who failed the spiritual power test but still forced himself to advance. As a result, after several heavenly thunderbolts, his realm did not improve, but instead declined, nearly endangering his life.
Therefore, from then on, the sect strictly prohibited those who failed the spiritual power test from improving their realm. It is better to take it slow than to rush. After all, if you are too hasty, the result will be more harm than good.
For more than ten years, she has been stuck at the second level of Qi Refining because she has failed every spiritual power test and cannot meet the minimum requirements to advance to a higher level.
Qin Baoyao thought about her spiritual power tests every time and decided not to force herself.
but......
She threw the book to Shi Yue: "Here you go."
"You?" Shi Yue was puzzled. Her behavior these days was really strange. In his impression, Qin Baoyao should be considered one of the hard-working people in Guiyi Sect. Many people said that she lacked talent but made up for it with hard work. However, she had been very lax in the past month. He had never seen her reading or practicing swordplay.
At first he thought Qin Baoyao was seriously injured, but later he found out that she was simply too lazy to move, which was completely inconsistent with what he had heard about her.
"It's okay. I didn't pass the test anyway, so it won't affect my enjoyment of life." After thinking it through, she waved her hand nonchalantly, "Then remember to wake me up tomorrow."
Shi Yue choked. He didn't expect her to speak so casually.
He took the book and put it aside, then went back to a small room next door and began to meditate.
The next morning, he started calling Qin Baoyao to get up.
Qin Baoyao, who used to sleep soundly, hadn't gotten up so early for a long time. Ever since she let go of her obsession with practicing to become stronger, she no longer forced herself to meditate every night, but slept soundly.
After waking up, she washed up quickly, then climbed onto the back of the Luowen Snow Tiger and let it carry her to the assessment location, with Shi Yue following closely behind.
When she arrived at the examination room, many people who thought that she would not take the test since she had never attended classes were a little surprised to see her. They thought that she had completely given up studying and practicing.
Qin Baoyao looked at the looks in everyone's eyes. She felt helpless and wanted to skip the exam, but if she didn't come, she would have to take a make-up exam, and it would be a one-on-one exam with the instructor supervising her. After thinking about it, she decided to give up.
The essence of Guiyizong's assessment is that you can do poorly on the test, but you cannot skip the test. Doing poorly on the test is a problem of ability, while skipping the test is a problem of attitude.
So no one can be treated specially, not even her.
After all, she has done this before.
There was one time that year when she felt that she always passed the test with high scores in theory and okay in practical tests, but she failed the test on spiritual power, resulting in her final results being unsatisfactory every year. So she once tried to simply not take the test on spiritual power, but was caught and tested repeatedly in public.
Later, even if she didn't want to take the spiritual power test anymore, she would force herself to go. After all, it was not shameful to fail the collective assessment, but it was really embarrassing to be repeatedly watched by a bunch of people.
Compared to the restlessness of the others, one of the women was quite excited to see her appear and came forward to say hello.
"Junior Sister Baoyao, are you healed? You haven't been to class for a month, and everyone was worried about you." said the woman.
"Okay, okay." Qin Baoyao replied. She couldn't say that her injury had healed a long time ago and she was just lying to avoid class.
"How's your course review going?" the woman asked again.
"Not bad, not bad." Qin Baoyao answered guiltily. In fact, in the past month, except for taking out the book last night, she had never picked up a book or even a sword at other times.
Fortunately, she arrived late. After being greeted with a few words of concern, the assessment began. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Host, Qin Baoyao is here. Don't worry, she can't escape this time."
"Make sure everything is safe."
Qin Baoyao had just sat down when she heard the strange sound. She was startled and looked around, but the invigilator had already set up a small barrier for everyone to prevent cheating in the theoretical test, so she could not hear the sound all of a sudden.
When Qin Baoyao couldn't hear, the woman continued to talk to the system:
"It seems that she hasn't attended classes in the past month because of her serious injury." System analysis.
"Yes, after all, considering her past diligence and hard work, it's impossible for her to skip classes for such a long time. Her presence at the exam is the best proof of this," the woman agreed.
"However, our next plan will have to wait until the results of this assessment come out before it can be implemented," said the system.
"Well, wait until her spiritual power test results come out. I don't believe she'll be as indifferent to the Spiritual Charm Pill as she was last time with such a low score." The woman said, paused, and then continued, "Is there no way to disguise this Spiritual Charm Pill as some other medicine?"
"No, even if the appearance can be changed, the medicinal properties cannot be changed. Besides, this thing is not a deadly poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood. It's impossible to become completely addicted to it after taking one pill. If you take it, you will definitely recognize it as a Spirit Charm Pill."
"But I'm a little worried that Qin Baoyao won't follow the plot we imagined this time. What if she reveals it again? Even if we slightly modify the medicine to make it similar to other medicines, it won't work. We won't let her find out as soon as she takes it. At least we can make her completely addicted first. Your system should be omnipotent, right?" The woman was worried.
"Of course we can do that, but it requires points. Your current points are insufficient, so the best we can do is change the appearance of the medicine."
"Points, points, points again! Why does your system require points for everything? Besides, I still have hundreds of thousands of points, how could it not be enough?" The woman was unhappy.
"There's no way. After all, this medicine was created by someone who had reached the Tribulation Crossing stage. Unless you also have the same Tribulation Crossing stage, it's naturally easy to change between people of the same level. But your cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so you'll have to spend a lot of points to exchange it." The system explained.
The woman could hear the system's contempt from its words, but she could do nothing about it. After all, she still needed to rely on the system to complete the task, and it would be disadvantageous to her if she fell out with it.
