The cultivating elder was startled. For some reason, the kid Mo Hua suddenly became more motivated...

But this is also a good thing.

He didn't say anything more.

"only……"

The cultivating elder silently looked at the ink painting again and sighed in his heart.

It’s difficult to form an elixir...

The spiritual roots are indeed very different, and I don’t know if I will be able to cross that threshold when the time comes...

…

These ink paintings are unclear.

Apart from practicing, he was only "C" in refining elixirs, weapons and talismans.

There is nothing much to say about these, they are stable performances.

From the elders who taught him, to his fellow disciples, and even Mo Hua himself, no one was surprised.

On the other hand, Elder Yi, who taught Taoism, was relatively familiar with Mo Hua. During a casual chat, he said:

"I can only give you 'C'..."

"I want to give you a high point, but I can't..."

"It's okay, it's okay."

On the contrary, Mo Hua comforted Elder Yi.

The ratings of Taoism are divided into three categories: magic, martial arts and swordsmanship.

Disciples within the sect only need to be good at one discipline.

After all, those who truly cultivate both spirit and body and can also practice swordsmanship are rare even in the Qianxue state where geniuses gather, and they cannot be used as the standard for ordinary monks.

Especially monks like Mo Hua who are under the "standard".

Elder Yi still felt a little regretful and sighed:

"You have perfected your spells and used them very well, and your thinking in fighting spells is far better than that of ordinary monks..."

"But these things are not the subject of a rigid assessment..."

"The most simple and intuitive method of spell assessment, and the most important thing is the level of your spell and the number of days of spiritual power you cast..."

"So you are at a disadvantage..."

"You don't know any powerful spells..."

When he said this, Elder Yi was suddenly stunned.

He recalled that day when Mo Hua blew up the spell puppets in the Taoist room into flying ash and seriously injured himself. That unknown, terrifyingly powerful fire spell...

Elder Yi frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

This doesn't count...

It's not a stable spell in itself, it's just something that happens to be tinkered with...

It cannot be used for assessment.

The risk of losing control is so high that it cannot be used casually.

This kid, Mo Hua, shouldn’t dare to continue using it... right?

Elder Yi looked at Mo Hua, who had quick eyes and an alert face, and suddenly felt a little uncertain.

"Ink painting..."

Elder Yi hesitated for a long time, then secretly said:

"Don't use that spell again..."

"Uh-huh!"

Mo Hua nodded.

I will never use that spell again last time.

But I have improved a new version, and I will just use the new one in the future.

…

In addition, there is another course that gets a "C", which is the Hundred Arts of Taoism.

The alchemy talisman is also one of the "hundred arts of cultivating Taoism".

However, because of its large scale, long-term inheritance, deep foundation, and many people practicing it, it is regarded as a "distinguished school" of monasticism and has a special status. It must be divided into categories and separate courses should be set up.

In addition to the alchemy talismans, there are also many monastic skills.

These skills are either side categories derived from the array talismans, or they are monastic skills related to monks' life, production, and fighting skills, but their status is not obvious.

For example, spiritual plants, meals, blood collection, mining, piano skills, spiritual dance, chess skills, construction, etc...

Although everyone says on the surface that all practitioners of Taoism and various arts are treated equally and all categories are equal.

But in fact, once things are related to people, they will naturally be divided into three, six, and nine grades.

Those who look elegant, such as piano skills, chess skills, and spiritual dances, are likely to be favored by others.

And some people who sell coolies, such as spiritual planting, mining, construction, etc., are not very popular with others.

The sect doesn't force it.

As long as students are interested in each category, they can learn it and at least understand some theoretical things.

But when it comes to assessment, the emphasis is still on the monastic skills that disciples of aristocratic families will use in the future, such as piano skills, spiritual dance, and chess skills.

Familiar ink paintings, such as spiritual planting, mining, construction, etc., are not counted as assessment results for the sect.

Especially meals.

The mother-in-law in the ink painting is Liu Ruhua, and her cooking skills are excellent.

Ink painting is "inherited" by blood.

When traveling around, he was responsible for the three meals a day for the master, the puppet master, and the younger brothers and sisters.

If it really comes down to food, with his skills, he can hang up the entire class of disciples and beat them!

It's a pity that meals are not considered...

Anyone who is good at ink painting will not be tested.

The exams were all about things he was not good at.

There is one exception, that is "chess skills".

This is something Mo Hua once thought he was good at...

Because whether he was in Tongxian City or on his travels, whenever Mo Hua had something to do, he would often play chess with Grandpa Puppet.

Mo Hua felt that Grandpa Puppet was an expert and his chess skills must be very superb.

And I can be evenly matched with Grandpa Puppet in chess skills, and the next game will be 50-50.

That means that your chess skills must not be bad!

But when it came time for the assessment, he was dumbfounded...

The chess skills tested by the sect are too utilitarian, too deliberate, step by step, and based on calculations, which is no fun at all...

He played eighteen games and won two games...

Only then did Mo Hua realize that there was a possibility...

Either the sect’s chess teachings are crooked.

Either that...

He and Grandpa Puppet are both bad chess players...

The ink painting took a bit of a hit.

I am good at what I do, but I didn’t expect that Grandpa Puppet’s chess skills would be less popular because of me...

Mo Hua sighed deeply.

The sect is pragmatic but not pragmatic.

In other words, it is not just the Taixu Sect, but the entire Qianxue Prefecture may be like this.

Therefore, in the course of cultivating Taoism and Hundred Arts, ink painting was just mediocre, so I got a "C" grade...

…

This "report card" of Grade 1, Grade 16 and C is to be taken back to show to parents.

There were other disciples who got 1A, 6C and 1C. They all looked sad and did not dare to take it home.

Ink painting is not bad.

He sent his transcript back to Lizhou, along with a letter from home, roughly as follows:

Parents:

I tried my best to learn, but there were too many geniuses in the sect, so I couldn’t compete with them, so I was defeated and got six "C"s...

What a pity...

Fortunately, my formation is still very powerful!
To be continued...
