Zhou Ling then practiced drawing inscriptions every night. Although he was sometimes confused, he was able to figure it out quickly with the talent of [Primary Analysis].
The progress of inscriptions was very fast, and the talent of [Born with Talent] also continued to improve his proficiency.
In less than ten days, Zhou Ling had already mastered the drawing of several basic inscriptions such as fire, earth, and wood.
In terms of inscription practice, he was considered to be an entry level.
In ten days, this progress is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary casual practitioners.
And the key point is that Zhou Ling did not have a famous teacher to guide him.
Everything was explored by himself, with the help of talent.
According to the practice guide issued by the Taoist Academy, skills such as runes, inscriptions, and array patterns can be mastered within a month.
It is already considered a person with outstanding talent.
And I only have ten days, isn't it amazing talent!
Of course, Zhou Ling knows his own qualifications and is not proud of them at all.
If it weren't for the blessing of talent, it might not be possible to reach this level in three months.
Then he began to try to draw two inscriptions.
Fortunately, with the improvement of the proficiency of the inscriptions, the spiritual power consumption in the drawing process has been reduced.
Every day, he can still maintain drawing two or three inscriptions.
In this way, more than two months have passed.
Zhou Ling has been able to draw three inscriptions, but because of his low cultivation, the success rate is not very stable.
However, due to the blessing of [Born with Talent], as long as the proficiency is improved.
When the proficiency reaches a certain level, his spiritual power consumption will become less and less.
······.
In a blink of an eye, the assessment day of the Taoist Academy has arrived.
There are many benefits to being a disciple of the key Taoist class.
First of all, the school is covered by the first-level upper-grade spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy will be more abundant, which is conducive to cultivation.
Moreover, the tuition fee is cheaper. It used to be five lower-grade spiritual stones per month.
Entering the key Taoist class, on the contrary, only three lower-grade spiritual stones are needed.
The second is that there will be special teaching to assist in the cultivation of skills.
The teaching staff is completely not at the same level as the ordinary classes today.
Just like now, although Liu Yan is at the ninth level of Qi training, her main
training is formation. Therefore, she has limited guidance for Zhou Ling to learn refining.
If it weren't for his talent, Zhou Ling would not have been able to successfully draw three inscription patterns in just three months.
Of course, for Zhou Ling, the key is to get more bonuses and reduce the burden on his parents!
Today is a grand day for Zhou Ling's family.
Li Ru took a day off and got up early in the morning to prepare a hearty breakfast for his son.
Zhou Shan also rushed back last night.
He also prepared a first-grade inferior purple spirit grass for Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling was full after eating a large bowl of rice, a bowl of fire-patterned chicken soup and two large chicken legs.
However, Li Ru still forced both chicken wings into his bowl.
Zhou Ling had no choice but to eat them all.
After breakfast, the two personally sent Zhou Ling to the Taoist temple and told him not to be too nervous.
For things like assessments, just do your best!
Zhou Ling knew his parents' concern in his heart, and nodded obediently.
He had nothing to be nervous about.
In the Taoist Academy assessments over the years, he had basically been able to rank among the top three in the school.
Although he did not have much advantage in spiritual power cultivation now, the difference was not that big.
For example, Zheng Youwei now had 16 spiritual caves opened, five more than him.
Although there was a gap, it was not irreparable.
He could completely take advantage of his skills.
Of course, there were some particularly outstanding ones, like Xin'er, who was now at the third level of Qi training.
However, this was only a minority after all. Among the disciples of this class, there would not be more than five people.
Most of them were still at the first or second level of Qi training.
Even the majority were at the first level. Zhou Ling said goodbye to his parents and entered the Taoist temple.
"Husband, can Ling'er enter the key Taoist class?"
Watching Zhou Ling enter the Taoist temple, Li Ru's eyes were full of concern and expectation.
She didn't have high requirements for Zhou Ling in her heart, as long as he could enter the key Taoist class.
As for the top ten, she automatically filtered them out.
After all, the competition was too great.
Not to mention those children from aristocratic families, even among the casual cultivators, most of the children's families were better off than them.
In addition to spiritual food, animal meat, etc., they would also provide certain elixirs to assist.
But they had never bought elixirs for Zhou Ling.
Zhou Shan gently held Li Ru's hand, "Ling'er is like you, not only good-looking, but also smart and clever, she will definitely be able to enter the key Taoist class."
Li Ru quickly retracted her hand, her face slightly red, this was in public, but she couldn't help but smile.
At this time, she remembered that since her son was born, there seemed to be nothing that worried them.
It was already early summer, the sun gradually rose, and it began to get a little hot.
In addition to the couple, there were many other children and parents around, and everyone was waiting patiently.
At the end of the Si hour, as the bell in the Taoist temple rang,
the waiting people all walked towards the entrance of the Taoist temple.
Groups of children, like the tide, walked out of the gate of the Taoist temple.
Some were smiling, some were frowning, and some were already crying.
It can be said that some were happy and some were sad.
"Ling'er!"
Soon, Li Ru and his wife also saw Zhou Ling in the crowd.
Li Ru looked concerned.
"Dad, Mom, it's just A10!"
Zhou Ling walked briskly and came to Li Ru and his wife, and couldn't wait to hand the report card to Li Ru.
In this assessment of spiritual power, although he only stimulated eleven spiritual points, because of the practice of the Spirit Flame Art,
the spiritual power in his body was pure enough and he also received an A-level score.
In the key skill assessment, he successfully drew three flame inscriptions at one time and received a grade of A6.
After the comprehensive score, he barely won the tenth place.
But this is enough for him.
After all, he only has low-grade spiritual roots and was born in a casual cultivator family. If he gets in the top three, it will definitely attract the attention of the Taoist Academy's top leaders.
By then, his peaceful life will inevitably be broken, and it will be difficult to continue to practice quietly.
After all, he has a lot of secrets, and it is easy to get into trouble when he encounters a high-level cultivator.
The reason why he wants to enter the key Taoist class and get in the top ten is just to get the Taoist Academy bonus and reduce the burden on his parents.
Therefore, it is good to be in the top ten.
Of course, this is already his greatest effort at present.
He knows his parents' expectations in his heart, and now this result can also make them happy.
This is also the best thing Zhou Ling can do for his parents at present.
Looking at the transcript, Li Ru and Zhou Shan both breathed a sigh of relief, and then their faces were full of joy.
"Ling'er is great!"
Li Ru's eyes showed relief and excitement.
Thinking about when she was pregnant, she was forced to make a living and went into the mountains with a big belly and encountered a black-haired wolf.
Her son almost got into trouble.
Fortunately, there was no danger in the end, but the child has been weak for many years.
This is also where she feels deeply guilty.
But I didn't expect my son to be so motivated. Not only did he get into the key Taoist school, but he also made it into the top ten.
He couldn't help it, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.
"Go back first!"
Seeing his wife's excited expression, Zhou Shan also waved with a smile on his face.
Then he took Zhou Ling's hand and left the crowd with his wife.
