Unexpected yet expected exam results

  In Jiang He's residence, after just going through a personal career assessment, everyone was in a heavy mood, talking about their own state during the assessment, and imagining what it would be like if they could become inner disciples.

  Beside Gao Yuan, there was also a person, who was precisely the little Liu who had previously handed him clothes. This little Liu's name was Liu Qingyun, and he was a disciple of the fourth layer of the Refining Qi stage. He usually looked up to Gao Yuan as his superior and was highly appreciated by Gao Yuan.

  Liu Qingyun smiled slyly and said: "Boss, this time in the assessment, Jiang He that kid was deducted five points, should be no hope of passing the assessment, right?"

  "Don't underestimate that kid, he may not be as good as me now, but for the first two years after he came, he was always above me, and he's not a bad guy either. This time, although he lost five points, he can still pass the assessment. It's not just him, among us, there will be others who can pass the assessment too." Gao Yuan said calmly.

  As soon as Gao Yuan mentioned this assessment, everyone in the room fell silent, pricking up their ears to eavesdrop. Gao Yuan smiled slightly; although these people were of no use, it still felt good to have them look up to him with reverence.

  "Boss, do you have inside information?" Liu Qingyun exclaimed excitedly.

  Gao Yuan burst out laughing: "It's not exactly insider information, but everyone upstairs already knows that this time they're planning to massively expand the number of inner disciples. So this assessment won't just pass Jiang and Hui, among us, there might be two or three more people who'll make it."

  As soon as Gao Yuan said this, several students who usually had good grades couldn't help but speak up. Qi Hui, who was usually third in class, although far behind Gao Yuan and Jiang Bei, had always been optimistic, and now asked tremulously: "Gao Shao, is what you're saying true?"

  "Can the news from my big brother be fake? I have high hopes for Qi Hui, you are also at the fifth level of the Refining Qi stage. If your talisman drawing results are good this time, there's a great chance of entering the inner sect." Gao Yuan smiled and said.

  Zi Ke became excited and said: "If I can enter the inner gate, I hope High Shao will take care of me more."

  "Haha, okay, okay. But after today, I might be transferred to the Yanziling Mountains where my older brother is, so it'll be hard for us to meet again." Gaoyuan mentioned his older brother with great pride.

  "First of all, congratulations to Senior Brother Gao." The disciples congratulated him one after another, but their mouths were all sour, as there was someone above who could get all the benefits. With that person's support, cultivating the Great Dao would be much easier.

  "Older brother, I don't want you to leave." Liu Qingyun heard this and almost burst into tears. This is not surprising, all these years, Gao Yuan has been bullying Jiang He, no one else dared to even watch, only he, with a single-minded devotion to Gao Yuan's rough legs, helping him out on the side, Jiang He's anger towards him was naturally not small, once Gao Yuan left, his future days would be difficult.

  "Haha, Little Liu, what are you afraid of? You follow me and I won't let you suffer. I've already arranged it, this time's inner disciple recruitment, I've gotten a spot for you. From now on, you'll also be an inner disciple, and Jiang He and Wu Yuan will no longer dare to bother you without reason."

  "Big brother, are you... serious?" Liu Qingyun's voice started to tremble. He was only a fourth-layer disciple in the Qi Refining stage and didn't dare think about becoming an inner sect disciple. Gao Yuan's words were like a huge pie that suddenly fell on his head.

  The disciples around heard this and cast envious glances at Liu Qingyun, each of them regretting in their hearts why they hadn't grasped the opportunity to cling to Gao Yuan's leg earlier. Although these people were not very old, they had been sent by their families to cultivate immortality, each of them being clever and resourceful, carrying the expectations of their families on their backs. In their daily interactions with others, they sought to avoid offending anyone, but unexpectedly, this had caused them to miss a chance to soar!

  Suddenly, the smiling High Plain's expression turned fierce, and he said in a stern voice: "However, there is one thing you must remember. After I leave, you will continue to bully Jiang He for me, just like I did before. I want him to know that anyone who offends me, High Plain, will absolutely have no good ending!"

  The speaker has intention, the listener is attentive, and each of the disciples' gaze at Gao Yuan now carries respect.

  "I can, but what if I'm no match for him?" Liu Qingyun said in a low voice.

  The plateau said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? After reaching the fifth layer of the Qi Refining stage, you can take elixirs to boost your cultivation progress. Just wait until you enter the fifth layer of the Qi Refining stage, and I'll have someone bring you elixirs that can quickly enhance your cultivation. At that time, surpassing Jiang He will be an easy task!"

  Lau Ching-yuen was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss! From now on, I will definitely work hard to bully him."

  "Hahaha, that's right!" Gaoyuan burst out laughing, casting a glance at Qi Kuai beside him. At this moment, Qi Kuai was also having various thoughts swirling in his mind. Although he had always looked down on Liu Qingyun like a servant from the mortal world, it couldn't be denied that after suffering a bit of grievance, the benefits he gained were enormous.

  Compared to the great Tao of cultivation, a little hardship is nothing. Qi Hui finally made up his mind and smiled: "Qing Yun, if we can both enter the inner sect in the future, we must get closer."

  Gao Yuan burst out laughing. Qi Lei was usually quite arrogant, although he didn't dare to offend himself, but also didn't take his own account seriously. Now he finally had the intention of lowering his head.

  "Fellow disciples should get along well with each other." Gaoyuan patted Qiuwei's shoulder, and the two exchanged a smile, their intentions already clear.

  Although he broke through the sixth layer, Jiang He still felt that it was better not to go back. Fortunately, he is now in the sixth layer of Qi Refining, and one sleepless night would not be a problem. Just right for a night to familiarize himself with his magical powers.

  In the Jiang and Dan Tian, the six-layered Fa power ring is thinner than the previous five-layered Fa power ring, but its purity is higher. From then on, with each breakthrough in level, the Fa power ring will add one more layer, condense, and increase in purity once again, until after the thirteenth layer of the Fa power ring, when the gaseous state of the Fa power ring transforms into a liquid state, it will break through to the Consolidating Foundation stage.

  Once he reached the sixth layer of the Refining Qi stage, he could already see inside. Jiang He looked at the six-layered halo of spiritual energy in his dantian and felt extremely satisfied.

  From the Refining Qi stage to the Building Foundation stage, the change in Fa power triggers a qualitative transformation. Once you enter the Building Foundation stage, you can be said to have truly entered the threshold of cultivating immortality. Of course, these are still far away and do not need to be considered yet.

  "It's dawn, and the results should be out too." Jiang He ended his night of cultivation and walked towards the school. He arrived early, and there was no one in the school yet. Jiang He found a corner to sit down.

  Soon, the fellow disciples all arrived. Seeing Jiang He was already in the school building, each and every one of them revealed a look of surprise. And Jiang He also sensitively felt the gazes of these disciples on himself, which were greatly different from before. They didn't become more respectful, but rather, they became hostile.

  What's going on? Jiang He felt strange in his heart, not knowing what had happened just because he hadn't returned for one night. But under an unkind atmosphere, even though he had already advanced to the sixth layer of Qi Refining, he still felt very uncomfortable.

  Fortunately, Professor Lu Chang didn't keep them waiting for long and arrived soon. The disciples' attention was immediately focused on Lu Chang.

  Jiang He's heart suddenly hung up, although he had performed exceptionally well in the last assessment, but before the results came out, his heart was tense, and whether he could change his fate depended on the assessment results.

  Lu Zhanglao, in his usual concise manner, said: "I won't say any unnecessary words. The results of this assessment are already out. I'll just announce the list of disciples who passed. From now on, you will be inner door disciples. Those who passed this time are: Gao Yuan, Jiang He, Qi Lei, and Liu Qingyun."

  "Hoo-hoo!" Jiang He's heart suddenly relaxed, a thrilling and exciting emotion enveloped him, this feeling was really great!
