Chapter 73 -73- The end
If the first assessment of Ziyang Mountain Grand Ceremony is to test the disciples' aptitude, perseverance and understanding, then the second assessment is to test the comprehensive ability of the disciples.

Or more specifically, to test the disciple's character, EQ, adaptability, background and even luck...

In the second assessment, all the disciples who passed the first assessment will get a token, enter the secret realm prepared in advance in Ziyang Mountain, and work hard to complete a certain goal.

In the end, Ziyang Mountain will select the final introductory disciple from the disciples who participated in the assessment according to the completion of the disciples.

There is no limit to the means of the second assessment.

However, everyone's cultivation will be suppressed below the foundation-building period, and the talismans above the human level that they carry with them will also be banned.

In addition, the tokens in the hands of all disciples have the ability to teleport.

When the assessment disciple decides to give up the assessment or his life is in danger, the token will light up and the disciple will be forcibly sent out.

The content of the second assessment was similar to previous ones.

Either looking for things, killing wild monsters, or grabbing things...

Whoever finishes the best is the most likely to get started.

And this time, the theme of the assessment was picking fairy grass.

The so-called fairy grass is actually a spiritual grass used for alchemy and making talismans.

Picking fairy grass, as the name suggests, is to see who picks the most spiritual grass and the quality is high.

As one of the Seven Sacred Lands of the Righteous Path, Ziyang Mountain has established a sect for 3000 years. Not only does it control countless secret realms, it also has a small world with a vast territory that is half the size of Central Continent.

These secret realms and small worlds are the main source of low-level spiritual herbs in Ziyang Mountain.

At the same time, today's examination room is also one of the many secret realms, called Broken Finger Mountain Secret Realm.

The Broken Finger Mountain secret realm is a low-level secret realm, and the best fairy grass that can be obtained is a high-grade human rank.

The assessment time is three days.

Three days later, all disciples will be forced to teleport out of the secret realm, and then the points of the spirit grass in their hands will be calculated.

The spiritual grass score is related to the quantity and quality of the spiritual grass. After calculating the score, it will be multiplied by the monk's xinxing score in the second assessment to get the final score.

The xinxing score is more metaphysical.

However, most people are full marks.

Only those seekers whose virtues are deficient in the second assessment will be deducted points.

Those who have the most will directly deduct zero and be disqualified from the assessment.

As for how to judge, that is the job of the elders of Ziyang Mountain.

All participants in the second assessment will be tracked, and their experience will be randomly displayed in the Qiankun Secret Realm.

Then, the final score of the second assessment will be weighted with the ranking score of the first assessment to finally calculate the total personal scores of the 8000 people and rank them from high to low...

The top [-] people can enter the outer gate of Ziyang Mountain.

And among them, the top ten have the opportunity to jump into the inner door!
Is it fair?
It seems fair, but in fact it is not fair.

Everyone's cultivation will be suppressed below the foundation-building period, but some disciples may have cultivated for a longer period of time. Even if the cultivation is limited, they are stronger than some disciples with better aptitude.

Talismans above the human level and above that they carry with them will be banned, but those aristocratic children can definitely bring some high-quality spiritual weapons in.

Although these spirit weapons are also limited in power, they can strengthen their defenses.

Not to mention, the children of a wealthy family can carry a lot of low-level talismans with them.

Sometimes, quantitative change is enough to cause qualitative change.

In addition to this, what's more, some powerful disciples of aristocratic families can also win over those seekers who passed the first assessment by luck, but ranked very low, for their own use before the start of the second assessment.

These seekers are too low in the ranking, and the hope of being able to enter the outer gate of Ziyang is relatively slim.

Therefore, many people are willing to give up the opportunity to enter Ziyang Mountain as disciples of foreign sects, and choose to attach themselves to disciples of those aristocratic families, help them enter Ziyang Mountain, and enter Ziyang Mountain as servants.

Outer disciples can lead three servant disciples to start, while inner disciples can bring ten more.

This made it possible for some aristocratic families to form a team in advance.

As for those seekers with strong adaptability and high emotional intelligence, they also have the opportunity to pull the team in the assessment...

Isn't it fair?

Maybe a little bit.

However, there is no absolute fairness in the world.

It would be nice to have relative fairness...

The path of cultivation is inherently highly competitive.

Of course, this will make the second assessment very complicated and random.

But this is exactly what Ziyang Mountain is happy to see happen.

In the second assessment, generally speaking, the best scorers are often the disciples of the aristocratic family and the disciples of the vassal sect.

After entering Ziyang Mountain, they will often become the pillars of the family later, or the honorary elders of the original sect.

This gave Ziyang Mountain the possibility to firmly control its own sphere of influence through them.

And those truly outstanding genius seekers also have the opportunity to break out of the siege, be accepted by Ziyang Mountain, and grow into the strongest of the sect in the foreseeable future.

It can be said... the second assessment is the real core of Ziyang Mountain's Apprentice Competition!
Of course, if some disciples made special and outstanding contributions in the second assessment, Ziyang Mountain would ignore the scores and directly include them.

For example... Gao Yi and Si Nian who destroyed the plot of the Demon Gate in the original novels and fanfiction.

Qin Shou spent a cup of tea and explained the rules of the second assessment in detail.

After finishing the narration, he once again looked at Zhenjun Lingwu who was in charge of organizing the assessment:
"Zhenjun, the rules have been announced, whether to start the assessment."

Zhenjun Lingwu looked at Zhenzun Taihua on the first seat again.

True Venerable Taihua nodded slightly.

Zhenjun Lingwu understood, nodded to Qin Shou and said:
"Then let's get started."

After receiving the instructions from the sect master and Zhenjun Lingwu, Qin Shou took a deep breath, and then said loudly:
"I announce—the second assessment, now...officially begins!"

The solemn voice echoed between heaven and earth.

Like a command gun for a start, upon hearing his announcement, nearly [-] seekers rushed towards the gate of the secret realm opened on the platform.

After a while, their figures disappeared in the mirror-like gate of the secret realm.

And the illusion of heaven and earth in the sky changed again, and the scene that appeared changed from the Immortal Palace to the secret realm of Broken Finger Mountain.

All disciples entered the secret realm, and the assessment officially began.

As the master of ceremonies, Qin Shou's work is temporarily over.

In the next three days, until the end of the second assessment, he can move freely.

The assessment disciples entered the arena one after another.

And in the Immortal Palace, some inner disciples of Ziyang Mountain were also eager to try, and one after another invited the end of the battle to participate.

Of course, they won't participate in the evaluation and scoring, but just join in the fun, as an interfering party to snatch the spirit grass from the evaluation disciples.

This can be regarded as Ziyang Mountain's repertoire.

Ziyang Mountain has always attached great importance to combat, even if it is a peaceful assessment item such as picking spirit grass, the sect will often find a way to do something.

It seems that they are afraid that the disciples in the assessment will not be able to fight each other.

However, there is a prerequisite for these participating inner disciples, that is, they cannot join forces with the assessment disciples.

It is also because of this that at the end of the second assessment in the past, most of them will turn into a situation where the assessment disciples join forces to fight against the inner disciples.

This can be regarded as a side exercise of Ziyang Mountain to test the cohesion of the disciples.

The inner disciples challenged one after another, and many of them passed the permission of their masters. With the permission of Zhenjun Lingwu, they flew down the fairy palace one after another and entered the secret realm.

Qin Shou's eyes flashed over the inner disciples who participated in the battle.

If his judgment was correct, among the inner disciples participating in the battle, there should be pieces of the King of the Wheel.

That day in the Demon God's Temple, the Wheel-Running King ordered Qin Shou to contact the "dark side".

But Qin Shou's disguised "real blood demon" has "transformed" into a polished commander in the restaurant battle, and no one can participate in the assessment and respond from the secret realm.

After that, the King of Wheels told Qin Shou that he himself would be responsible for arranging the people who communicated...

Obviously, the King of the Wheel is probably planning to use his chess pieces to enter the secret realm and act as a liaison.

With this in mind, Qin Shou looked at his grandfather who was sitting high on the other side.

And grandfather Qin Yuanshan also happened to meet his eyes.

Qin Yuanshan nodded slightly, while Qin Shou took a step forward, and said to Zhenjun Lingwu under the surprised eyes of many elders:

"Zhenjun, I also want to participate in the end, I wonder if it is possible?"

　After the first release, it will be changed, and there will be another change, around zero
