The assessment for scholars is divided into three parts: cultivation, various subjects, and practical combat.

They respectively correspond to the progress of scholars' cultivation, the level of alchemy and other techniques, and their actual combat abilities.

To Chu Shen's surprise, since it was his first time participating in the assessment, he had no previous scores to refer to and was in a beginner's protection period. The assessments for cultivation and various subjects only required recording the level, without any pressure of being unqualified.

This made him feel like he was punching into a pile of cotton, empty and unsatisfying.

Only the practical combat was somewhat interesting. He saw many strange techniques and Divine Abilities of other scholars, which broadened his horizons.

However, when it was his turn to perform, it was not as interesting. With the Divine Ability "Earth's Favor," he had ten times the strength, and opponents at the same level were basically knocked down with one punch, making it too plain and tasteless.

He hoped he wouldn't leave any psychological shadow on his opponents. He really didn't mean to.

When he received his report card and saw the big "excellent," he was somewhat happy, but not overly so.

There were too many people who received an "excellent" evaluation. He didn't stand out, surpassing his contemporaries, and immediately becoming the most outstanding disciple of the Chongxue Peak. The sense of achievement was lacking.

This is related to the assessment system of Chongxue Peak. Yang Taichu also mentioned that cultivating one's character is an important purpose of the assessment system set up by Langxuan Heavenly Palace. While the outstanding geniuses are indeed dazzling, the stable and mature ones are the future of the sect.

Therefore, during the assessment at Chongxue Peak, even if you have amazing talent and outstanding aptitude, the part that can be demonstrated is limited. To prove oneself and shine like a formal disciple during the Foundation Building Nine Kang selection, a period of time blending in with the crowd is helpful in establishing a healthier mindset and laying a solid foundation for the future, which is a longer path.

It must be said that the Lord of Langxuan Heavenly Palace put in a lot of effort.

Xiao Hongling also passed the test.

Chu Shen developed her very well, her spiritual roots had already evolved, and with the assistance of Lingyun Terrace and other measures, it greatly compensated for the negative effects of the damaged meridians caused by the poisoning, giving her another opportunity to progress in her cultivation.

Not only that, she is ultimately Chu Shen's person, and Chu Shen would not let her damaged meridians go unchecked. After obtaining the intermediate inheritance of an alchemist, he refined some highly effective detoxification pills and meridian-nourishing pills to help her repair the damage to her meridians.

Although it was not completely cured, there was still some effect, and the impact of the damaged meridians on her has decreased significantly.

Coupled with diligent cultivation, passing the assessment is not a problem.

As for Wei Liangnu, let alone, the little genius herself has good aptitude. Although her condition was affected after becoming pregnant, the benefits brought by Chu Shen's development were greater, and passing the assessment, which was already easy, was effortless.

On the other hand, among the two new concubines, Lu Wuxia encountered a problem and did not pass the assessment.

Fortunately, Shu Guizhi was fine. Apart from being extremely poor and having to sell herself to Chu Shen, her abilities were able to withstand the test.

Lu Wuxia was miserable. As the bottom of the ladder among the related households, even though she had obtained better aptitude under Chu Shen's development during these days, her comprehension was beyond saving.

In addition to the difficulty of this assessment at the Sword Cultivation Academy, she regretfully missed the passing mark by a small margin.

The tragedy is that this is her third failed assessment. According to the rules, as a scholar, she must be stripped of her status, and the Lord is responsible for the rules she set for herself.

So she became the only unlucky one in the Chu family who was "expelled from school," and she cried bitterly when she returned home.

Fortunately, she married Chu Shen, as a relative of a scholar, she didn't have to be repatriated to her hometown, and her small family and relatives also benefited from this and were not repatriated, allowing them to continue living in the Chongxueji.

However, losing her identity as a scholar is still a blow to her. Chu Shen happened to be preparing to attend the Dan Dao event at the Fuyuan Pavilion, so he took her along to help her relax.

In addition to Lu Wuxia, Shangguan Shurong was also chosen by him to accompany him to the Dan Dao event.

After accompanying the emotionally deficient female cultivator, her recovery has made some progress. Currently, their intimacy is almost 40%, and she can occasionally show expressions of confusion and joy. More efforts are still needed.

On the other hand, her cultivation level has been rapidly increasing. She has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Not only did the evolution of her spiritual roots, developed by Chu Shen, play a role, but her focus and dedication in this emotionally deficient state were also important reasons. It can only be said that fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

The presence of the two concubines also made the other concubines have thoughts of wanting to accompany him, perhaps seeing the Dan Dao event as an opportunity for a trip.

But he rejected all of them.

Just kidding, all of you have big or small bellies, and there are little ones that need to be taken care of. Do you still want to run around?

Behave and stay at home to nurture the fetus!

As a result, the concubines didn't go, but they blamed him for all the faults and gave him a good beating, finally letting him off the hook.

When Chu Shen arrived at the flying boat dock with Shangguan Shurong and Lu Wuxia, he saw Li Jinrong, who was going to accompany them, and was immediately mocked mercilessly by her.

"What happened to the injuries on your face? It looks like they were scratched by a woman. Did your womanizing finally catch up with you and you got punished?"

Chu Shen rolled his eyes and made a shameless excuse: "I am very loyal, okay? I have exclusive feelings for every woman of mine. How can you call me fickle?"

"These scars are just proof of my feelings for my women. It's called being afraid of private fights."

"If anyone dares to harm them, I won't just nod and obey. That's called being brave in public battles!"

Unfortunately, Lu Wuxia is a fool and doesn't quite understand, Shangguan Shurong is clueless and doesn't react.

Only Li Jinrong laughed heartily without mercy, almost unable to straighten her waist.

Chu Shen pretended not to care, but he was itching inside: "Just you wait, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with you along the way. Let's see if you can still laugh then!"

Ignoring her, he led the way and walked towards the disciples' quarters where the flying boat was managed.

The cultivation world is vast, and once on the road, one may even have to cross the star river and traverse small worlds. Those who rely solely on flying swords and escape techniques are few in number, and even the beasts of burden will tire.

Most people use spirit-powered flying boats for transportation.

The venue for this Dan Dao event hosted by the Fu Yuan Pavilion is Fumu Mountain, which is quite far away, so it is necessary to use a flying boat to get there.

Flying boats are a type of magical tool, and their refining techniques are highly demanding. Naturally, they are valuable. Even if Chu Shen can afford one, he would find it painful to spend the money, so renting one is more cost-effective.

Martial sects with certain conditions will have a flying boat rental service for their disciples, and there will also be dedicated docking stations for the flying boats, which naturally require dedicated disciples to be on duty.

Unexpectedly, the disciple on duty here is an old acquaintance.

"He Tuan Senior Brother? Weren't you over at the beast pen for the exotic beasts? Why are you here at the flying boat docking station?"
