After the ceremony of entering the Family register, Ye Qingxuan and the others were led to a courtyard and arranged accommodation.
The next day, someone came to teach them the basic knowledge of Cultivation.
It covered everything from the Ye Family rules, Realm divisions, Spiritual Root, Meridians and Acupoints, Cultivation taboos, scripture comprehension, Cultivation Technique, and so on.
On the first day of formal study, Ye Qingxuan learned about the Realm divisions of this world.
There are ten Realms in total, namely:
Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Void Tempering, Void Gazer, Undergoing Tribulation, and Mahayana!
In the following days, a small part of the other teaching content had already been learned by Ye Qingxuan in the Treasure Pavilion of Ye Clan Immortal City.
Coupled with Ye Qingxuan's current extraordinary memory and comprehension, these basic knowledge points were basically mastered after one study session.
Therefore, Ye Qingxuan's learning progress was astonishing, far exceeding that of others.
Fortunately, Cloud Mist Mountain also had a Treasure Pavilion, so Ye Qingxuan wouldn't waste time.
The books in Cloud Mist Mountain's Treasure Pavilion were incomparable to those in Ye Clan Immortal City, involving a lot of Cultivation-related knowledge.
No matter where, knowledge is indispensable.
If he wanted to go further, he had to accumulate more knowledge.
Spirit Medicine, Yao Beast, Heaven And Earth Treasure, pills, artifacts, formations, talismans, and even Spirit Plant Master, etc.
Although Ye Qingxuan might not choose these auxiliary Cultivation paths in the future, it wouldn't hurt to understand them in advance.
This half a year.
Ye Qingxuan was either studying or on his way to study.
During this period, many previously unacquainted Family members slowly began to get along, making many friends and forming small circles.
Even Ye Qingxuan, who had been immersed in his studies, became good friends with Qingxiao, and through him, also met a few other Family members, though their friendship wasn't deep.
Half a year of living and studying also greatly enhanced everyone's sense of belonging to the Ye Family!
Perhaps this was also one of the Ye Family's purposes in having everyone live and study together for half a year?
Busy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the assessment.
"Qingxuan, when you get the first-place reward from the assessment later, you have to treat us!"
On the way to the assessment venue, Qingxiao threw an arm around Ye Qingxuan and said boisterously.
Looking at Qingxiao, who was hugging him, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him:
"Alright! Alright! Alright! I'll treat you to a big meal then!"
As he spoke, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The ingredients in this world, nourished by Spiritual Qi, were incomparably delicious compared to his previous life.
Especially the Yao Beast meat, which ignited not just the taste buds, but every cell in the body.
Unfortunately, Yao Beast meat resources were also very scarce; in the past six months, Ye Qingxuan and the others had only eaten it a few times, and they still couldn't forget the taste.
Although this assessment was not a major event, the Ye Family had prepared some small rewards.
The first-place winner of the assessment would receive a bottle of Qi Induction Pill and three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Both the Qi Induction Pill and the three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone were important resources for the Early Stage of Qi Refining.
For those who had not yet stepped into Cultivation, their appeal was self-evident.
Ye Qingxuan usually kept a low profile, but as one of his few friends, Qingxiao still understood his learning ability and his craziness.
He practically lived in the Treasure Pavilion.
He believed that the first place in the assessment belonged to Ye Qingxuan.
But some people were not convinced.
Ye Qingshuang, who was not far from them, heard Qingxiao's words and immediately snorted coldly:
"Hmph, it's not certain who will get first place!"
Although her words were a rebuttal to Qingxiao, her gaze was fiercely glaring at Ye Qingxuan.
Ye Qingshuang was also one of the frequent visitors to the Treasure Pavilion.
Ever since she accidentally learned about Ye Qingxuan's learning progress from Qingxiao, Ye Qingshuang had been competing with Ye Qingxuan.
In the end, she also followed Ye Qingxuan's example and started running to the Treasure Pavilion, directly getting involved.
Over time, the two became competitive friends, but Ye Qingshuang had always been unconvinced.
Hearing Ye Qingshuang's words and feeling her gaze, Ye Qingxuan raised an eyebrow and said nothing, but his eyes revealed unconcealed confidence as he walked towards the assessment area.
Only Ye Qingshuang, who was left behind, stomped her feet in frustration.
Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth and muttered to herself in anger:
"Ye Qingxuan, just you wait, I will definitely surpass you! Hmph!"
Finally, Ye Qingshuang snorted coldly and also rushed towards the assessment area.
When Ye Qingxuan arrived at the examination hall, many people had already arrived, and he saw a familiar person on the high platform of the examination hall!
The person in charge of everyone's assessment this time was Ye Yonglun, who had tested his Spiritual Root.
Seeing Ye Yonglun, Ye Qingxuan did not tactlessly go forward to greet him, but honestly stood in line and waited.
After everyone arrived, the assessment began immediately.
The assessment time was one hour, which was more than enough for those who knew the answers, and for those who didn't, more time would be useless.
After Ye Qingxuan received the assessment questions, he immediately began to answer them, the entire process flowing smoothly without any pause.
The assessment questions, the first large part, were content taught in the past six months, and the latter small part was extended content.
The rules of the assessment were that as long as one answered the previously taught content correctly, without mistakes, it would be considered passing the assessment.
But to get a top ranking, one had to answer the extended questions at the end.
Most of the more than two hundred people in the entire examination hall were engrossed in answering, and were not stumped by the initial questions.
Those who could be born with a Spiritual Root were not lacking in talent; as long as they were diligent, these basic common sense questions would not pose any difficulty at all.
Ye Qingxuan quickly completed the assessment questions; these questions were simply child's play for him.
However, he had no intention of showing off by submitting his paper early, but sat in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Time flowed by.
Soon, the assessment time was up.
"Alright, stop writing! Everyone stand up where you are, and don't move!"
As Ye Yonglun's words fell, everyone stopped writing and stood in place without moving around randomly.
Seeing that everyone stopped writing and stood in place obediently, Ye Yonglun nodded.
Then he stood up, and his Divine Sense surged out, causing all the examination papers to float in mid-air.
After about half a cup of tea, Ye Yonglun withdrew his Divine Sense, looked at Ye Qingxuan unexpectedly, and then spoke indifferently:
"This assessment had a total of two hundred and fifteen participants, two hundred and twelve passed, and three did not pass!"
Hearing Ye Yonglun's words, most of the people in the hall were confident in themselves and their expressions did not change, but only a small number of people's faces changed, fearing that they were among those who did not pass.
One or two even had bitter expressions, obviously knowing their outcome.
Ignoring the changes in the hall, Ye Yonglun continued coldly:
"The standard for passing the assessment is not difficult. If you usually pay attention and are careful during the assessment, you can easily pass.
If you can't even do this much, I advise you not to step into the Immortal Dao."
As he spoke, Ye Yonglun's aura became even colder, making everyone in the hall feel a chill.
After scanning the crowd, Ye Yonglun said solemnly to everyone:
"The Immortal Dao has no regrets. Sometimes, one wrong step can lead to eternal damnation. I hope you will remember this in the future and not make mistakes easily."
"Yes, thank you, Clan Uncle, for your teachings. We will engrave them in our hearts."
Hearing Ye Yonglun's teachings, everyone in the hall bowed in unison and responded.
Even Ye Qingxuan deeply agreed with Ye Yonglun's words, secretly engraving this sentence into his heart, and secretly thought:
"Although I possess eternal life, the path of Cultivation has a very small margin for error. Longevity cannot protect me from all disasters. Before I have enough strength, I must be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious."
Ye Yonglun saw that everyone was listening, his expression softened slightly, and he continued:
"Alright, the path ahead is for you to walk yourselves. I have said all I need to say.
Ye Qinglu, Ye Qingxi, and Ye Qingcheng, step forward. From today onwards, you three will go to the Treasure Pavilion to study on your own. Only when you can pass the assessment will you proceed to the next step of Cultivation!"
As soon as his voice fell, two men and one woman walked out from the crowd, all with ashamed expressions.
After stepping forward, the three spoke in unison:
"Yes, Clan Uncle!"
Then they left the examination hall with red faces.
After the three left, Ye Yonglun continued to announce:
"First place in this assessment: Ye Qingxuan, reward of ten Qi Induction Pill and three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone!
Second place in this assessment: Ye Qingshuang, reward of five Qi Induction Pill and two hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone!
Third place in this assessment: Ye Qingying, reward of three Qi Induction Pill and one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone!
The rewards will be delivered to you tomorrow.
Alright, the assessment is over. Congratulations, you can now begin to engage in Cultivation. Tomorrow, someone will arrange for you to go to the Hall of Transmitted Cultivation to choose a Cultivation Technique!"
After speaking, Ye Yonglun flew away on his sword.
"Yeah, great, hahahaha!"
"Finally, I can start Cultivating, I can't wait."
As soon as Ye Yonglun left, the people on the spot began to cheer wildly.
Hearing everyone's cheers, Ye Qingxuan also couldn't help but smile, suppressing the excitement in his heart, his eyes filled with anticipation.
A hand suddenly wrapped around Ye Qingxuan's neck. Ye Qingxuan helplessly looked at the hand on his shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded in his ear again:
"Qingxuan, not bad! You didn't disappoint me. Let's go, let's go, treat me, hahahaha!"
Ye Qingxuan folded his arms, directly ignoring Qingxiao's words.
Are you kidding? He hadn't even received his rewards yet, what would he use to treat him?
At this moment, Ye Qingshuang pushed through the crowd and angrily came to Ye Qingxuan's side, picking up Ye Qingxuan's exam paper.
After reading it, she slammed Ye Qingxuan's exam paper onto the table.
"Bang!"
Then she left a harsh remark:
"Ye Qingxuan, don't be complacent. We are people who want to Cultivate Immortality. In the end, it's about Cultivation speed, not these minor skills.
When we start Cultivating tomorrow, I will definitely surpass you, hmph!"
Then, without waiting for Ye Qingxuan to reply, she walked away angrily by herself.
Ye Qingxuan watched, dumbfounded, and shook his head:
"These young people nowadays, why are they so competitive? Not mature at all. I didn't agree to compete with you."
Ye Qingxuan wasn't stupid; Ye Qingshuang had a three-element Spiritual Root, while he only had a single-element Spiritual Root. How could his Cultivation speed possibly compare to hers?
Qingxiao, who was beside him, heard Ye Qingxuan admit defeat and quickly patted his chest, indicating:
"Qingxuan, don't worry, I'll compete with Ye Qingshuang in Cultivation speed for you then."
After promising, Qingxiao immediately spoke again:
"Qingxuan, you can't go back on your word. You promised to treat me to a big meal."
Ye Qingxuan rolled his eyes at him in exasperation:
"Eat! Eat! Eat! All you know is eating! I haven't even received my rewards yet! What will I eat with?"
Hearing this, Qingxiao awkwardly scratched his head, but still mustered the courage to continue:
"It's fine, we can eat tomorrow too."
Ye Qingxuan slapped his forehead, his face full of black lines. Just let me perish!
