Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, three days later, it was already the day of the Outer Sect Assessment.
Qi Ming was already prepared. In the past few days, he had used up most of the spirit stones and his strength had undergone an extremely obvious change.
“Boss.” Zhu Xiaoxian shouted, “The Outer Sect Assessment is about to begin.”
“Got it.”
Qi Ming stood up. There was an obvious sharp sword intent on his body. It was extraordinary, but it was quickly hidden.
Moreover…
Qi Ming took a step forward. In Zhu Xiaoxian’s opinion, Qi Ming seemed to have teleported outside the door, scaring him greatly. He became more and more respectful.
“I feel that Boss is becoming more and more unfathomable.”
“Perhaps Boss will really win this time.”
“It’s not that easy.”
“I’ve heard that the three people ranked in the top three on the ‘Advancement Ranking’ are quite extraordinary. Their strength can’t be underestimated! Especially the first-ranked Xiao Fan, he has already cultivated the ‘Green Cloud Saber Technique’ to the ‘Outstanding’ mastery level. Moreover, this is only the ‘Advancement Ranking’ of the ‘D-Class Servant Quarters’.”
“Other than the D-Class Servant Quarters, there are also the A-Class, B-Class, and C-Class.”
“…”
Zhang Wen, Wu Shiliang, and the others said one after another.
This was the first day of the Outer Sect Assessment.
First of all, the four great servant quarters were divided by the elders of the various servant quarters. They were mainly using the spirit energy stone monument to test their cultivation and spirit energy.
Only those who reached the third level Qi Refinement realm would pass.
D-Class Servant Quarters.
Over a thousand servant disciples held their numbers in their hands as they waited nervously. Although many servant disciples knew that they had not reached the third level of Qi Refinement, they were still unwilling to give up. They wanted to try their luck. Perhaps they would pass the test of the spirit energy stone monument.
In front of the spirit energy stone monument, one of the servant disciples was called to the number. He walked to the front of the spirit energy stone monument with an uneasy mood and poured his spirit energy into it. After exerting all his might, only two horizontal bars lit up on the monument.
“No. 0223, second level of Qi Refinement, failed.”
The thin-faced servant elder announced the result expressionlessly.
“I… I didn’t use my full strength just now. It doesn’t count, it doesn’t count…” The servant disciple shouted.
“Drag him away.” The servant elder said coldly.
“Elder, I beg you. Give me another chance. I beg you. I’ll definitely succeed…”
The servant disciple was still shouting.
“Sigh…”
In the surroundings, there was a sigh.
“No. 0245, second level of Qi Refinement, failed.”
…
“No. 0356, first level of Qi Refinement, failed.”
…
“No. 0506, third level Qi Refinement realm, passed.”
At this moment, a smile appeared on the thin-faced servant elder’s face. He took out an Assessment Token and handed it to No. 0506.
“Thank you, Elder.”
Number 0506 was Li Feiyun, who had lost to Qi Ming.
“Work hard.”
The thin-faced servant elder said, “Entering the outer sect is only the beginning.”
“Yes.”
Li Feiyun felt the envious gazes around him. His expression was quite smug, but after seeing Qi Ming not far away, his expression became a bit ugly.
“Boss Li is mighty.”
Below, Li Feiyun’s lackeys shouted.
“What’s there to be proud of? He’s still our Boss Qi’s defeated opponent.” Zhu Xiaoxian curled his lips.
“Yes, yes.” Hu Gang nodded in agreement.
“Our Boss Qi can beat him down in a few moves.” Zhang Qing said.
Li Feiyun walked down and looked straight at Qi Ming. He said in a serious tone, “Last time, I was careless and did not dodge. This time, I won’t be careless during the outer sect examination.”
“Moreover, my Green Cloud Five Tiger Seal has already reached the Mastered realm. Next, I will cleanse the shame you left on me.”
“Go ahead.” Qi Ming shrugged.
“Hmph.” Li Feiyun coldly snorted and turned to leave.
“What the heck?” Zhu Xiaoxian and the others retorted unhappily.
This guy’s foresight was too poor.
Time passed.
The servant disciples who were ranked in the top ten of the Advancement Ranking in the D-Class Servant Quarters all appeared one after another. Xiao Fan, who was ranked first, passed the test with his third-stage Qi Refinement cultivation and obtained the Assessment Token.
“Boss, he’s Xiao Fan.”
Zhu Xiaoxian said, “I heard that Xiao Fan has already reached the third level of Qi Refinement half a year ago. Moreover, he has an extremely outstanding talent in the Saber Dao. Rumor has it that he has already cultivated the Green Cloud Saber Technique to the Outstanding realm.”
Qi Ming sized up Xiao Fan. He was dressed in black and held a sheathed saber in his arms. It almost never left his body and had an obvious domineering aura.
To have such a bearing as a servant disciple was indeed extraordinary.
He could be called a ‘Hidden Dragon in the Abyss’.
Honestly, Qi Ming originally did not want to stand out in the Outer Sect Assessment. If not for that old thing Mu Qing, he would only quietly develop.
At that time, using AFK Farming to become an immortal, where could he not go?
He would be carefree in the world.
He could do whatever he wanted.
So, Qi Ming had already recorded Mu Qing in his notebook.
Although he had cheated that old thing Mu Qing of a thousand low-grade spirit stones, it was clearly not enough. He had ruined Qi Ming’s original plan. All those who wanted to stop him from developing quietly and becoming an immortal were all evil.
In second place was Lin Qingxuan, third was Qiao Yuxian, fourth was Huang Xiaomei, fifth was Wang Erhu, sixth was Lu Huizhi, seventh was Chen Jie, and eighth was Ma Li.
The cultivation levels they tested were all at the third level of Qi Refinement.
As for whether anyone was hiding anything, Qi Ming did not know.
“Fairy Yu Xian, Fairy Yu Xian…”
In addition…
Qiao Yuxian was very popular in the D-Class Servant Quarters. It was not only because her aptitude and cultivation were ranked at the top, but also because she was indeed beautiful.
Her facial features were exquisite, her skin was fair, and her figure was slender. She also had an otherworldly aura, and she indeed had the appearance of a fairy descending to the mortal world. Naturally, there were many supporters.
In fact, Qiao Yuxian’s true identity was the 13th Princess of the Phoenix Fire Kingdom.
“Not bad, not bad.” The thin-faced elder also smiled, “Compared to a few years ago, the quality of the disciples in this D-Class Servant Quarters is obviously a level higher.”
“No. 01000.” The thin-faced servant elder shouted.
“Coming.” Qi Ming raised his hand and slowly walked towards the spirit energy stone monument.
“Boss, you can do it! Boss, you can do it!”
“Boss, you’re the best.”
“Charge!”
“Let them see your power.”
“…”
Zhu Xiaoxian and the others shouted.
“Shut up.” Qi Ming held his forehead speechlessly.
“He’s Qi Ming.”
“The one who was summoned by First Elder Mu Qing last time.”
“Perfect. Today, I want to see what ability this Qi Ming has to make First Elder Mu Qing favor him.”
“That’s right.”
Everyone looked over.
“Let’s begin.” The thin-faced servant elder said indifferently.
“Yes.” Qi Ming nodded, raised his right hand, and pressed on the white bead in the center of the spirit energy stone monument. The Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art circulated, and spirit energy flowed from his dantian along his meridians and slowly poured into the monument.
Buzz!
The first horizontal bar lit up.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second, and then the third.
“Good!” The thin-faced servant elder smiled and was about to shout, but what happened next made him widen his eyes. The Assessment Token in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Buzz! Buzz!
Fourth, fifth.
They all lit up.
Fifth level of 5 Qi Refinement realm!
In the entire D-Class Servant Quarters, his cultivation was the highest!
It was the highest in the entire venue!
Immediately.
There was silence.
“How is this possible?!”
Li Feiyun was so frightened that his jaw almost fell to the ground.
“Gasp…”
The three elders of the D-Class Servant Quarters also gasped. They looked at Qi Ming in shock and could not help but say, “The fifth level of Qi Refinement! It’s really the fifth level of Qi Refinement!”
“This… this…”
They were really shocked.
“He’s actually at the fifth level Qi Refinement realm.”
Xiao Fan raised his head and looked at Qi Ming in surprise, “This is a strong opponent.”
“To think that such a genius is hidden in the D-Class Servant Quarters. I thought that Xiao Fan was the most outstanding, but I didn’t expect such a genius to exist.”
Qiao Yuxian’s beautiful eyes flickered as she sized up Qi Ming, it was unknown what she was thinking.
“Hahaha…”
“Boss is too awesome!”
“Did you see that? That’s our boss. He’s at the fifth level Qi Refinement realm, okay? He’s much more impressive than you guys.” Zhu Xiaoxian and the others shouted loudly.
“How can cultivation at the fifth level Qi Refinement realm scare you like this?”
Qi Ming expressed his helplessness. If not for the fact that he had been cultivating spells and methods to deal with his enemies these past few days, his cultivation level would not only be at the fifth level Qi Refinement realm. At that time, he would definitely scare them until they fainted.
“I really want to keep a low profile!”
Qi Ming looked around and saw everyone’s shocked and respectful expressions.. Although he did feel very comfortable in his heart, as if he had drunk a mouthful of iced cola in a hot summer, he did want to keep a low profile at the start.
