This fragrance was very special. He just sniffed, and his mind would completely calm down. He could no longer have any distracting thoughts.

Shen Ping followed the agile figure into the wooden house from the corner of his eye and quickly retracted it. It could make even the guide of the True Treasure Pavilion treat him respectfully.

That middle-aged cultivator’s status was probably not low. His strength would even far exceed his imagination. No one dared to have any improper thoughts on such an expert’s daughter.

Next, he continued to wait. The candidates in the surrounding wooden houses really did not talk anymore.

Shen Ping was also happy to have peace and quiet, but he had a better understanding of the girl’s identity in the wooden house on the left. He waited for another six days before the hundred wooden houses were full.

Dong.

A heavy drumbeat suddenly sounded in the sky above the wooden house. All the candidates looked up. A purple-robed figure condensed in midair at the door. He stood in the air. He said calmly, “The first special-class guest elder assessment officially begins.”

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve. Boundless magic power enveloped all the candidates. Then, his vision changed.

Shen Ping stood at the entrance of the majestic palace.

The girl beside him with the sword-shaped mark between her eyebrows sized up the cultivators on the left and right from the corner of her eye. There were a few times when her gaze landed on Shen Ping.

There were a hundred candidates this time.

There were only about 15 people at the Qi Refinement Realm. The rest were all at the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. There were even a few Golden Core cultivators.

“Take out your qualification jade tokens.” The purple-robed cultivator’s voice sounded in the ears of every candidate again.

Shen Ping hurriedly took out the jade token.

Buzz-

At this moment, the palace’s bronze door emitted a hundred rays of light that landed on the qualification jade tokens of all the candidates. The light lasted for about five minutes. The huge bronze door squirmed and finally split into too small bronze doors.

“Go in!” As soon as he finished speaking, all the candidates could not help but step into the small bronze door.

After Shen Ping walked in, the top of the bronze door displayed its identity.

f Southern Flame Continent.]

[Fire Toad Cave.]

[A third-grade guest elder of the Wei Kingdom, one of the twelve countries of the Northern Rock Marsh Region.]

[Qi Refinement Talisman Master assessment.]

A light flashed and disappeared.

The interior of the bronze door was not as solemn as Shen Ping had imagined. It was just a very ordinary house, just like the assessment room on the left of the hall in the backyard of the True Treasure Pavilion. The difference was that this place was empty.

“Third-grade guest elder, Shen Ping.” Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded from the door. “Please make a Level Two low-grade Armor Spirit Talisman.”

Accompanied by the voice, the surrounding walls flickered and a jade table slowly appeared. On it was the materials for the Armor Spirit Talisman.

Shen Ping touched his storage bag. There were Armor Spirit Talismans in his storage bag, but he knew that there must be some kind of restriction inside the bronze door. Perhaps there were cultivators monitoring it.

He took a step forward. He looked at the materials on the jade table. He calmed his heart and prayed for blessings before drawing on the talisman paper. He had made the Armor Spirit Talisman many times. Although the success rate was not 100%, as long as it was stable, the chances of failure were still low.

The assessment of Qi Refinement Talisman Master was an Armor Spirit Talisman. Other first-grade Foundation Establishment guest ciders needed to make Level Three talismans. Different cultivation levels would have different assessment content.

However, this first test was not difficult for every cultivator who passed the qualification test. There were no surprises. Shen Ping successfully produced it. After recovering his spiritual energy and mental state, the second assessment arrived.

The indifferent voice sounded again. “Please create a mid-grade Level Two Armor Spirit Talisman.”

Upon hearing this content, he could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

The difficulty of a mid-grade Level Two talisman was not only the greatly increased spiritual patterns, but it also had harsh requirements for spiritual energy and divine sense. In the talisman-making room of the small courtyard in Huiquan Alley, he had tried many times to make it, but he had failed. Even if he took the Spirit Channel Pill and increased the total amount of spiritual energy, it was useless.

It was impossible to make it.

“I didn’t expect to fail the first assessment.” Shen Ping was not too disappointed. After all, he did not have any expectations before he came.

As the light flickered, a talisman appeared on the jade table.

He was stunned. The talisman was a mid-grade Level Two Armor Spirit Talisman. However, only 60% of the spirit rune circuits on it had been completed. There was no other 40%. Furthermore, this 40% was the initial spirit rune.

In other words, the second assessment was for him to complete on this basis.

However, Shen Ping stared at the talisman in a daze.

High-grade talismans did not have incomplete talismans. From the beginning of the drawing, the entire spirit rune circuit had to be completed. The speed of the talismans in the middle could vary, but they could not stop. This was because if they stopped, the blood ink, talismans, and spirit rune circuit would react. As long as they could not balance, the entire talisman would be destroyed.

A Talisman Master’s strong control was mainly reflected in the speed and rhythm of the talisman brush. However, this mid-grade Level Two Armor Spirit Talisman was incomplete. Moreover, it was still intact and not scrapped.

This method shocked Shen Ping. He was shocked, but he heaved a sigh of relief. If he only outlined 40% of the starting spirit patterns, his dantian’s spiritual energy and Foundation Establishment divine sense could completely withstand it.

The only thing to worry about was failure. He calmed his mind and prayed again. Shen Ping was fully focused on making. The high-grade Level Two Dao of Talismans and the experience and skills engraved in his blood and muscles surged into his mind.

From the initial spirit rune circuit to the last 60% of the spirit runes, he was fast and slow.

Psst.

The moment it was completed, the complicated and ever-changing spirit rune circuits flickered and then hid.

The second assessment was completed.

Almost instantly, an indifferent voice came from the bronze door. “Third-grade guest elder, Shen Ping, congratulations on passing the first assessment. Please enter the hall to rest.”

At this moment, a door suddenly opened in the wall. Shen Ping looked a little relaxed. He stepped through the door. It was a hall. There were tables and chairs in the hall, as if they were for people to rest.

The girl with the sword mark was already sitting on the first table and chair. Her lively eyes moved to Shen Ping and she revealed a look of surprise. Obviously, she did not expect that the second person to complete the assessment would be this middle-aged Talisman Master.

Shen Ping walked straight over without looking sideways. He originally wanted to randomly choose a jade chair to sit on, but just as he was about to sit down, a light voice sounded in his ear. “Fellow Daoist, these tables and chairs are not casually placed. You’re the second, so you should sit beside me.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist.” Shen Ping really didn’t know about this. He quickly moved and picked up the spirit tea on the jade table to drink. When his lips touched the teacup, he noticed that there was a faint lip mark on the edge of the tea that emitted a unique fragrance.

The girl with the sword mark beside him straightened her body. Her calm and elegant face was embarrassed and anxious at this moment. Her fingers kept pinching the corner of her clothes, and she wanted to say something but hesitated a few times.

He took a sip.

Shen Ping placed the teacup on the jade table with a calm expression. Although he had drunk the wrong cup, he did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and reminisced. He opened them again. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the girl beside him was restless and could not help but ask, “Fellow Daoist, what’s wrong?”

“I-I’m fine!” The girl with the sword mark gritted her teeth.

Shen Ping nodded. “This spiritual tea is not bad. Fellow Daoist, why don’t you try it again? It might calm your mind.”

The girl’s face instantly turned red to her earlobes. “I didn’t drink it!”

Shen Ping did not say anything, but he felt that it was quite interesting. In his opinion, it was just a lipstick mark. Not to mention that he did not drink along the lipstick mark, it was fine even if he drank it.

But it actually caused ripples to the girl. This made him sigh with emotion. “She’s still a young lady!”

As time passed, one after another, candidates walked out of the bronze door and sat on the jade chairs to rest. Shen Ping did not admire the girl beside him anymore. Instead, he closed his eyes and pondered.

This was the first assessment. He barely passed. Although he did not know the content of the remaining two assessments, he felt that it was unlikely for him to pass. This was because just the first time he made a mid-grade Level Two Armor Spirit Talisman, he had emptied his limit.

“If I can stay here for a little longer, I can take the opportunity to polish the spiritual energy in my dantian to perfection and break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in one go.”

Shen Ping’s storage bag was prepared with the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although there were no Foundation Establishment treasures, in this cultivation environment with abundant spiritual energy, he estimated that even without the Foundation Establishment Pill, he could easily break through with his metal and wood spiritual roots..
