Chapter 285 - Tests
Jian has started to learn the new profession that is talisman profession and he has started from the very basic part of the profession which is to gain control of his Qi.
While he is practicing his new profession the new assigned elders have started to take test of the disciples who have successfully learned there divine body tempering technique and basic martial art.
At 1st the test was going was going to be held for those disciples who have successfully learned the techniques but after hearing Jian's suggestion they have decided to check all disciples because Jian is going to introduce new structure to disciples and this information will help him divide the disciples in different groups.
The test was going to be very simple the 1st test was that as the divine body tempering technique helps clear the impurities of the body and and strengthen it meaning the strength of the body should be increased as it depends on the talent.
So the 1st test will check their body strength and how much strength they can control and aside from checking their strength the elders will use their Qi to check the impurities inside them.
System has already informed Jian that every time there will be some impurities in the body but after using the divine body tempering there will be changes in the impurities so if a disciples learned the divine body temperament technique then he will be able to see the changes.
So Jian has shared this knowledge with the new elders and told them to check if disciples have successfully learned the divine body tempering technique.
If disciples doesn't pass this test then they will not be allowed to take another tests and they will stay under one star elders because this was 1 of the most basic technique of the sect and everyone has to compulsory learn it and practice it.
But those who have passed the 1st test will only allow to take the 2nd test which will be to check their cultivation and foundation if in some way it is found that disciples have used some other resources or damage the foundation of their cultivation then they will fail the test.
Even though it was up to the cultivators to check their foundation and be careful while cultivating but Jian wanted to to see how they're progressing and if there progress has been stopped then he wanted to know the reasons so learning about their cultivation Foundation would be very important.
And after disciples passes this test they will have to pass the next test which is the basic martial arts test. in this test they will have to perform any type of basic martial arts they have learned and which is highly compatible with them if they have they are successfully able to show that they have learned the basic martial arts then they will pass the test and Will be qualified to take the final test.
Final test will be to see if disciples are able to control their Qi and strength so they will be told to fight and whoever wins the fight will immediately pass the test meaning the loser will have to continue to fight till last.
Even though it could be a exhausting for the other disciples as they will not get time to rest during the tests but this would also help them preserve to their strength and understand whom to challenge and not.
This whole test was designed to check their mindset and how they are focused on learning the basic things which is very important to build the perfect foundation for the future cultivation if in early stages they are not careful then it would affect their future even if they have heaven grade physique.
And due to this 4 types of test even though he has a lot at 9 elders but still it was not enough to completely check every disciples so 1st all elders were focusing on taking the 1st test which was to check if the disciples have learned the divine body tempering technique or not and after taking the 1st test they will move on to the 2nd test.
This all will be able to focus on one thing at a time and they will not be pressured. So it has been a week since Jian has started to learn the new profession and elders have started to take the test.
Now Jian has only able to create a few structure which were very basic structure in the talisman profession so he was not happy with himself but if other people were people were to hear him then they will beat him.
And as he has only completed the few structures the elders have taken the 1st test and second test and have selected the disciples which are qualified to take the 3rd test and finally they're going prepare for the 3rd test.
Aside from practicing his new profession Jian would flew to the disciple area to check on the disciples and the elders and he was shocked to find that more than 600 disciples were able where qualified to take the 3rd test meaning only 400 disciples have not been able to clear the 1st two tests.
He was able to see that in those 400 disciples all of them were new disciples which were recruited just before the last sect war so he was not worried at all and even he held a small meeting with them and told them that they have just joined the sect and they should move slowly otherwise it would affect their foundation.
So Jian was happy that more than 600 disciples have been taking seriously and learning the basics taught in the sect.
The 3rd test requires them to perform the basic martial arts technique so it is going to held in arena so every member of the sect has gathered to see the performance of the disciples who are going to take the 3rd test.
The 3rd test has become festival as they will be able to perform their basic martial arts and show off to other disciples.
So to help Yu Yang and new 9 elders Yu Yue and Zhou You have also come to the fighting arena on Jian's instruction he didn't want trouble and any pressure on the disciples and also on the new elders.
Now that the elders have started to take the 3rd test Jian was once again focusing on learning a new type of talisman structure to gain control over his Qi.
1st he was very skeptical that this method would help him but after successfully creating 1st 2 structures he has tried refining the pill and he was shocked to find that the speed of refining has increased by 20% meaning he was able to completely refine a pill very easily because he had a higher control of his Qi.
Finally he understood that's why it was very important to gain the control of the Qi which could allow him to control his strength and preserve it for later and how to perfectly use it.
So he was very happy that this profession was also helping him speed up his refining processes of other professions so now slowly he has started to completely focus on this profession and leaving the sect for the elders.
Now even though everything is going smoothly here saw that those disciples which have successfully broken through the foundation building realm have become very idle . aside from fighting and cultivating they are doing nothing else in free time they are just sleeping so it would be good to announce about learning the profession
But if he doesn't create proper structure then they would just waste time and get confused about the profession.
So he has to work fast and create the structures and plans which would help disciples journey smooth on to their next part and learn about new things otherwise they will just move around same thing and at the end they will get bored and completely exhaustnthemselve.
So aside from informing about the profession he also wanted them to Excite them to learn about new professions so he had a rough plan on how to Excite them but it was still not enough so he was waiting for the tests to be over and new disciples structure to be established before he announces about the professions.
Keeping this aside he was completely focused in learning the new structures of the talisman and And completely gaining control over Qi while the test were still going on.
