Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 148 - 110: Ten Schools Joint Exam
"What exactly is the principle behind this?"
When Wang Qi explained, he didn’t avoid anyone, so not just Zhen Chan, but also Mao Zimiao and Wang Zhenqi heard him, too.
Zhen Chan, finding it most difficult to accept, commented, "Are you saying that you’ve been thinking about how to analyze the Memory Storage Skill these days?"
Wang Qi shook his head, "Not ’these days’, just this morning. Besides, fully analyzing and understanding the principle will be something for later, which will inevitably involve the research of Yangshen Pavilion. I’m not proficient in this field, at most I’ll collaborate with someone on this research later. Right now I’m just contemplating the mathematical principles and trying to simplify them."
Zhen Chan muttered, "As long as it works, isn’t it fine?"
"That’s why your generation of Ancient Method Practitioners is inferior to the previous ones, forever only good for being hung up and beaten," Wang Qi sighed pretentiously. "Without understanding the way, how can one follow the path and develop better cultivation methods?"
Both half-demon girls were Modern Cultivators and could somewhat understand Wang Qi’s thought process. They were more concerned about the results of Wang Qi’s work.
Mao Zimiao asked with concern, "Xiao Qi, are you analyzing a useful Ancient Method, meow?"
"Mostly useless," Wang Qi corrected. "The part about refining mana isn’t top-notch in the Ancient Method, and even if I truly refine Mysterious Sect Magic Power, I’ll have to expend effort to transform it into my fundamental cultivation technique, which is quite troublesome. However, it’s very helpful in terms of exploring the inner self and aiding in maintaining spiritual focus."
"Spiritual focus? Isn’t that content from Yangshen Pavilion, meow? Won’t it affect your entrance exam to Wanfa Sect?"
According to Earth’s classification of disciplines, Yangshen Pavilion pertains to neuroscience and psychology. Psychoanalysis, although only used in clinical psychology, also broadly falls under psychology, so it makes sense to include it in Yangshen Pavilion.
Wang Qi smiled and said, "Even if I’m researching this aspect, I still base it on math and physics, so don’t worry."
Hearing this, Wang Zhenqi couldn’t help but cry out in frustration, "Comparison is truly the thief of joy! It’s so unfair! I’m still worried about several math problems, causing me to lose sleep, and here you are analyzing spells!"
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
"Please, call me academic tyrant," Wang Qi contentedly spooned the last bite of rice into his mouth.
The dog demon girl’s eyes twirled around twice before she said, "How about this! If you can make my math skills as good as yours, I’ll give you Amiao, how does that sound?"
The cat-eared girl bristled in the moment, "Qiqi, what do you mean by that!"
"I thought you wouldn’t mind… wuwuwu…"
Watching the two girls start to quarrel, Wang Qi shrugged and took his leave.
At that moment, Zhen Chan spoke up, "Boy, not staying to watch anymore? I think that you wouldn’t mind the half-demon..."
His voice took on a slightly lecherous tone.
Wang Qi responded noncommittally, "No need to watch them waste resources, right?"
After making a joke or two, Zhen Chan then asked, "How’s your research on the Memory Storage Skill going?"
That was what he truly cared about. After witnessing the wonders of the Modern methods, Zhen Chan was also getting some ideas—he was no longer content with just being an Ancient Method Practitioner. However, he knew his own situation; his past achievements would only hinder his transition to practicing Modern Cultivation. To take a step further into becoming a Modern Cultivator, he would have to rely on Wang Qi, hoping this Modern genius could enlighten him with something he could comprehend from the Ancient Method.
A Mahayana Cultivator now could only dwell on whether a Qi Cultivation minor cultivator had let something slip through their fingers, which was quite pitiful when thought about.
"I can confirm, the key lies in that Flame Cloud Map." Wang Qi said as he walked to the classroom, "That map contains strange powers, sketching it in your mind sends your thoughts into an odd state, impacting both the physical body and the soul. Thus, I have focused my research on that."
"What did you figure out?"
"I tried using geometry to deconstruct it, but the map is exceptionally complex." The young man’s face suddenly looked very dangerous. He glared at the ground, seemingly searching for a pebble to kick: "The designer of this map must be a freak. I once randomly overlooked a part of the map for Memory Storage, but found the effect to be exactly the same after several attempts. Either this map has a high tolerance for error, or it contains a substantial amount of deceptive and decorative content."
I am more inclined towards the latter. Wang Qi added mentally.
Before he edited it, the complete Flame Cloud Map’s patterns faintly revealed a figure of Lingbao Tianzun, clearly the work of a religious devotee.
Despite having outstanding results, they added inexplicable elements at the last moment—something researchers on Earth in the 21st century and Modern Cultivators in Shenzhou did not appreciate.
The morning classes went by in a blink. After lunch, Wang Qi, carrying his Talisman Artifact saber, headed towards Xin Mountain Peak.
The academic prodigy’s shaken confidence, stemming from frustration, had to be vented on animals that turned into spirits without permission.
The trial field manager’s face fell at the sight of Wang Qi: "Junior brother, why are you back again?"
Wang Qi pointed north: "That training area over there was destroyed in an earthquake, no other places available."
The prodigy believed that he used the utmost sincerity when saying this.
The manager stamped his foot heavily: "I mean... junior brother, won’t you need to review your books? The monthly test of December is just a few days away."
"Reviewing books..." The prodigy was a beat slow in responding: "You mean the monthly test? Is it not mid-month now? The 15th hasn’t passed yet, right?"
Had he forgotten the date from studying too hard lately?
"Hey, junior brother, you are clearly the type fully focused on studying and indifferent to external matters." The manager came up smiling and said, "You forgot, right? The December monthly test actually occurs at the end of December. We need to allow some disciples to go home and spend New Year’s Eve with their families, right?"
Most highly skilled cultivators do not celebrate New Year’s. Modern Golden Cores aren’t valuable, achieving a Golden Core gives five hundred years of life. For most cultivators, celebrating certain events every year seems troublesome. But new disciples are mostly younger, and their sense of time still differs from that of the older eccentrics. The Immortal Institute has a holiday from New Year’s Eve to Lantern Festival.
This manager seemed to have labeled Wang Qi as dedicated to Seeking Dao, excessively aged before his time.
Wang Qi couldn’t be bothered to explain, merely puzzled: "Isn’t that just a few days early?"
The manager continued to explain: "Junior brother has probably forgotten. The year-end monthly test is actually a joint exam with ten schools."
Although the universal entrance trial is said to be "uniform," new disciples from the ten major Immortal Institutes and the Dao Seekers attending Sermons at local branches of the Immortal Alliance are treated completely differently. Sects like the Five Extremes rarely recruit disciples from the latter, and if they do, they only recruit servant disciples. The lower Sects within the Immortal Alliance have almost no qualification to recruit disciples from the Immortal Institute.
Under this premise, the Seekers of Immortality in each year’s exam are divided into two groups before the test. The cohort of Immortal Institute Disciples only competes with fellow Institute Disciples.
To better assess the real level of Immortal Institute Disciples, the Immortal Alliance organizes a joint exam every December and April, to compare the levels among different Institute Disciples, preventing situations like "the top student from Alpha Immortal Institute being only mediocre at Beta Immortal Institute." It also serves as a good motivator for new Institute Disciples.
