The second round of assessnts.
Out of thirty-five people, more than half were eliminated.
Most of them failed in the Three Spiritual Plant Techniques.
But there were also a couple who were unlucky and chose dead seeds during seed selection.
However, this is beyond reproach.
Because this is part of the assessnt.
Their lack of eye power led them to choose dead seeds, indicating their inadequate Spirit Plant proficiency, unable to discern seed vitality.
Soon, the third round of assessnt is about to begin.
Only fifteen people remain on site.
Those eliminated either left directly or stood aside waiting for the results.
Zhou Changwang stood beside the Zhao Brothers, not far from the proud-faced Gao Mingyi.
In the second round of assessnt, he high-handedly showcased his proficiency in the Three Spiritual Plant Techniques. Even though many Spirit Plant Apprentices disliked his deanor, they had to admit his Spirit Plant skills were outstanding.
Thus, he could be considered the most prominent figure among the crowd.
However, Zhou Changwang’s gaze wasn’t on him but rather on a Female Cultivator not far from him.
She appeared to be around sixteen, though she was likely older. Immortal Cultivators are notoriously deceptive in age, with a fair and delicate face, appearing graceful and beautiful.
However, it wasn’t her beauty that attracted Zhou Changwang, but her magic.
When she previously perford the Spirit Rain Skill and Geng tal Finger, Zhou Changwang did not see it due to the distance. But when she finally used the Fertilization Technique, it was clear she had hidden her skills.
Like him, she only grew the seed to half an inch before withdrawing her magic.
Yet, Zhou Changwang discerned her proficiency in this magic.
Mid Stage of Great Success.
Though still far below his level, she had already firmly surpassed Gao Mingyi and was definitely a skilled Spirit Plant Practitioner.
"Everyone.
The third assessnt, I believe many of you are already aware of.
It’s about selecting Spirit Seeds from my bag.
Two hours in total.
As long as you can cultivate the Spirit Seed to the mature stage and bear fruit, you pass the assessnt.
Additionally, the final ranking of this assessnt is also determined in this third part.
The quality of the fruit from the Spirit Seeds will be the judging factor; the higher the quality, the better the assessnt results.
This ti, in the Spirit Plant Master assessnt, the top three are rewarded.
The first place receives a Qingyuan Order to directly enter Qingyuan Sect next spring and beco a Qingyuan Sect Disciple.
The second place can choose one of us four assessors to be their master.
The third place receives a Second-Grade Spirit Seed to grow Second-Grade Spiritual Materials."
At this mont, High-tier Spirit Plant Master Yang Ping spoke, his tone full of encouragent.
Upon hearing this.
Everyone’s face lit up with enthusiasm.
The top three are rewarded.
First place, many have acknowledged Gao Mingyi’s performance and conceded, having already given up.
But second and third place, they still see hope.
"Bro, do you think we have a chance?"
Zhao Qiang quickly whispered to Zhao Jie, who glanced around and whispered back, "Don’t even think about it, see that dark-faced guy, he’s said to be Yang Ping’s nephew, Yang Xin; his Spirit Plant skills must be impressive.
And that one, nad Lu Ming, successfully grew a Second-Grade Spirit Plant just a month ago, gaining admiration from several Middle-High Tier Spirit Plant Masters, receiving plenty of guidance usually.
Moreover, to grow a Second-Grade Spirit Plant proves his skills have reached Mid-Tier First Grade, comparable to a First-Grade Middle-level Spirit Plant Master.
With them here, we stand no chance.
We’re doing well if we even pass the assessnt."
As Zhao Jie spoke, he also glanced at Zhou Changwang.
Evidently, he included himself when he said ’we’.
Seeing this, Zhou Changwang rely smiled without retorting.
"Let’s begin!"
A low command was given.
Each cultivator returned to the previous examination tables.
The tables were already set with a flower bed prepared presumably for Spirit Seed cultivation.
Subsequently, the assessors began to step forward in order, selecting seeds from a cloth bag in front of Yang Ping.
The bag was filled with Water Spirit Peach seeds, varied in quality; the higher quality seeds were plump and full of vitality, becoming Spirit Seeds. Once cultivated, the Water Spirit Peaches produced would be sweet and rich in Spiritual Qi.
The lower quality ones were mortal seeds or dead seeds.
While mortal Water Spirit Peaches lack the fine attributes of Spirit Seeds, they are still delicious fruits, seen as luxuries by mortals. For the assessnt, cultivating these mortal seeds to maturity and bearing fruit suffices.
The dead seeds.
They are nearly impossible to sprout and bear fruit trees.
Selecting a dead seed will result in inevitable failure in this assessnt.
Fifteen people selected Spirit Seeds in order.
Zhou Changwang was third in line.
But standing behind, he could already see the condition of the seeds.
He employed the Spirit Eye Technique, his eyes narrowing slightly as a flash of Spiritual Light passed.
In an instant, the vitality levels of the seeds in the bag appeared before him.
"Hmm?
More than half are dead seeds?"
Zhou Changwang’s expression shifted slightly.
The bag contained at least several hundred seeds.
But through his Spirit Eye Technique, most appeared lifeless, with almost no possibility of sprouting.
Those with dim vitality would require significant Spiritual Power to cultivate and invigorate them, while the twelve Spirit Seeds emitting rich vitality along with Spiritual Power stood out.
