Chapter 66 – Question sets from previous


“I can’t reveal the specifics, but it will be announced in a few days after the college entrance examination.”

Chan Si was very tight-lipped, so Chen Mobai could only suppress his curiosity and leave her office.

In the cultivation room of the school, Chen Mobai didn’t waste any time.

After practicing the “Nurturing Mind and Casting Divine Art” for a while, when he felt his mental energy starting to tire, he stopped and searched online for the entrance exams of various major Daoist academies in the past few years.

Last year’s entrance exam was a nine-level formation set up by representatives of various Daoist academies. The difficulty of the formations ranged from simple to complex, with one level connected to the next. To be admitted to the four major Daoist academies, one had to decipher seven formations.

However, among all the students in Danxia City, the best result was the deciphering of six formations. In the end, that student could only go to the Observing Stars Academy among the ten major academies.

Chen Mobai frowned as he read this. He was not completely ignorant about formations. During this period of time, with the relentless guidance of Chan Si, he had already mastered the second-level Azure Water Formation in the Water Palace.

Drawing on this knowledge, he was confident that his proficiency in formations ranked in the top three in his class.

So he confidently used 100 points to download the entrance exam question bank of the Immortal Gate for the past ten years.

Nine formations in a row, like pearls.

The names of these questions were quite good, Chen Mobai silently praised in his heart. Then he took out his stationery from his schoolbag and prepared to calculate the formations, starting to do the questions.

Half an hour later, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and reluctantly put down the paper and pen in his hand.

He barely deciphered the first two formations, but when it came to the third formation, the knowledge and formation patterns involved had already exceeded almost half of his knowledge and surpassed the content of the nine-year compulsory education textbooks.

According to last year’s results, deciphering two formations would allow him to choose to enter the Immortal Gate’s 120th Mansion.

In other words, Chen Mobai’s level stopped here.

But Chen Mobai himself definitely wouldn’t admit this. He believed that the school taught too little about formations, and he had no interest in formations on weekdays, so he didn’t bother to study and expand his knowledge in this area.

So he switched to a set of entrance exam questions from two years ago.

That year, the Sentient Path Academy tested the cultivation technique of a certain spiritual medicine. Within a month, this spiritual medicine had to be upgraded from the first level to the second level.

Chen Mobai was not familiar with spiritual values, so he skipped it directly.

The Dance Instrument Academy gave each registered student a six-liang iron essence and required them to refine it into a flying sword with a grade of at least the second level.

He skipped it directly as well.

The entrance exam for the Mending the Sky Academy was to repair a defective formation disk…

Why was it still a formation? Skip!

With his last hope, Chen Mobai looked at the entrance exam question for the Kunpeng Academy: each student had to take a piece of second-level jade and draw talismans on it, collect the essence of thunder and fire, and after the talismans reached the second level, they could be admitted.

He continued to skip with a blank expression, and opened the entrance exam question from the year before last.

The variety of questions that year was even greater. Each group of ten students had to work together to cultivate a spiritual vein, cultivating it from the first level to the second level. This process would be recorded by someone. If the cultivation was successful, the representatives of the academy would score each person in the team in terms of leadership, cooperation, and skills.

Still a complete failure, not a single person was admitted to the four major Daoist academies.

Two years ago, three years ago…

After Chen Mobai finished reading the entrance exam question sets from the past ten years, his face was filled with a dazed expression.

There wasn’t a single year of the entrance exam that he knew.

But Chen Mobai himself didn’t have much hope of being admitted to the four major Daoist academies. His goal had always been the ten major academies.

To be precise, the Pure Yang Academy and the Tai Yuan Academy.

After all, based on his spiritual root talent, the artificial elemental spirit in the National Library suggested that Chen Mobai follow the path of the “Pure Yang Scroll” and the “Jade Clear Scripture,” which had a slight possibility of cultivating the primordial spirit.

He had to believe in the country.

Comforting himself in this way, Chen Mobai looked at the entrance exam questions for the Pure Yang Academy and the Tai Yuan Academy when they were tested separately.

Finally, he had a little confidence.

At least, unlike the entrance exams of the four major Daoist academies that required a cultivation level of at least the second level, the requirements of the ten major academies for their students were only top-notch knowledge at the first level. Only when there were more applicants in a certain year would the requirements be raised to the second level.

However, after reading the question sets from the past ten years, Chen Mobai also discovered some patterns.

If the entrance exams of the four major Daoist academies and the ten major academies were combined, they would generally include the four major disciplines of spells, pills, instruments, and formations. After all, these were the basics, and it was easy to distinguish the talents of students from these aspects.

If they were tested separately, then all kinds of strange things were possible.

For example, the Pure Yang Academy focused more on state of mind, while the Tai Yuan Academy valued background and strong divine consciousness. The Five Thunder Academy exempted those with Thunder Spiritual Roots from the entrance exam, and the Natural Academy exempted those with Spirit Spiritual Roots. The Mountain and Sea Academy would select sword cultivators…

Chen Mobai set his first choice as the Pure Yang Academy, the second choice as the Tai Yuan Academy, and the third choice as the local Chixia Academy.

As for the four major Daoist academies, after reading the question sets from previous years, he really didn’t have much confidence.

After looking at the time and realizing there was still some time left, Chen Mobai started browsing the flagship stores of various major sects on the Immortal Gate website.

He was interested in a second-level lower-grade “Mysterious Yang Purple Fire Talisman.” The official flagship store of the Pure Yang Academy would release a hundred of them at 6:45 tonight.

Priced at 68,000 Good Deeds.

The timing was a bit awkward, as Chen Mobai would usually be in the Water Palace by that time, but he could understand.In order to take care of every cultivator as much as possible and give everyone a chance, the Immortal Gate, constrained by the limited resources of the Earth Elemental Star, releases items such as elixirs, talismans, and magical instruments at unpredictable times.

This means that in the 1440 minutes of a day, good items could be put on the shelves of the major flagship stores at any minute.

Although constantly keeping watch would certainly allow one to snatch up good items, elixirs like the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment, which are most welcomed by Qi Refining cultivators, are only put on the shelves three times a month. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot stay awake all month, staring at the screen waiting for items to be put on the shelves.

This is the greatest fairness that the Immortal Gate can achieve under the circumstances of resource scarcity.

Chen Mobai set an alarm for himself to remind him to snatch up the “Mysterious Sun Purple Fire Talisman” produced by the Pure Yang Academy tonight.

After leaving school, he decided not to cultivate today.

The college entrance examination is in two days, and even if he were to cultivate, he wouldn’t be able to calm his mind.

He called Qing Nv and asked her to have dinner with him tonight.

He had promised her before that he would treat her to grilled fish.

After returning home, Chen Mobai went to the Water Mansion and caught two descendants of the Azure Blood Carp. He didn’t kill them, but directly handed them over to the enthusiastic owner of the grilled fish shop.

After Qing Nv finished eating, she couldn’t stop praising the meal.

She said that she had never eaten such delicious fish in her life.
