Qin Ming looked at the scene Outside the Wooden Door.
He was completely dumbfounded.
Outside the door.
A golden desert, abruptly appeared in his sight.
…
Outside the Illusion.
The Elders of the Spirit Feather Sect were watching the direction of the Wooden Formation and discussing amongst themselves.
"What do you think, how many disciples will pass the Assessment this time and advance to Second Tier?"
"It's hard to say, after all, even the lowest Difficulty Geng-level Illusionary Realm has always been very few."
"Old Zhuang, your Disciple went in once last time, this time it should be a sure thing, right?"
"Sigh, don't mention that good-for-nothing."
"What do you think of that kid Qin Ming?" Elder Liu stroked his goat-horn beard and asked indifferently.
Elder Zhuang frowned and pondered for a moment, then said with great certainty: "In this old man's opinion, as long as he doesn't challenge a high Difficulty Illusionary Realm, the probability of passing the Trial is extremely high."
Elder Gu beside him looked displeased when he heard this.
"Although our Spirit Feather Sect's highest record has always been passing the Jia-level Trial, in recent years, no disciples of the Sect have successfully challenged it for a long time. I wonder if anyone can surpass the record this time."
While speaking.
Time passed bit by bit.
Half a day later.
A green light flickered near the Wooden Formation, and a figure emerged.
The person who came out looked depressed, and it was obvious at a glance that they had failed the Trial Assessment.
"Sigh, I didn't expect that the first time I entered, it would be the most difficult Spirit Plant Heart Refining Path in the Geng-level Illusionary Realm."
Before long, Spirit Plant Masters retreated from the Illusionary Realm one after another.
So far, not a single Spirit Plant Master has successfully passed the Trial Assessment.
"This is too difficult, what I entered was an Assessment of Plant Affinity, requiring me to find the Original Mother Spirit Sprout in a whole grassland."
"What's that compared to? The Illusionary Realm I entered required me to treat several unfamiliar Second-Rank Spirit Plants, and I had to complete it within the stipulated time."
…
Unknowingly.
Most of the Spirit Plant Masters who entered the Illusionary Realm Assessment had already come out.
Still no one had passed.
Just then.
A familiar figure retreated from the Illusionary Realm.
Everyone looked and saw that it was Li Yan, who had entered earliest.
At this moment, his expression was extremely excited.
In the Wooden Formation behind him, a ray of light lit up on one of the Wooden Tablets, showing that Li Yan had passed the Trial Assessment.
Difficulty Wu-level Illusionary Realm completed, time taken three and a half hours.
The flow of time in the Illusionary Realm is different from the time in the outside world. In the Illusionary Realm, it feels like a year or two has passed.
Then, a ray of light fell from the Wooden Formation and merged into Li Yan's Spirit Plant Master Identity Token. The three Attribute Leaves on its back merged together and gradually turned into a Spirit Plant.
This meant that he had successfully advanced to become a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master.
Li Yan's face was filled with wild joy, and he quickly walked up to Elder Zhuang Xiran and bowed, "Disciple has lived up to Master's expectations and passed this Assessment."
"Well, it is commendable that you were able to pass the Wu-level Difficulty Trial. This time, you have a chance to compete for the top three and obtain a wisp of Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Woods." Elder Zhuang Xiran rarely showed a gratified smile.
But then.
Two other Spirit Plant Masters with Innate Talent passed the Trial Assessment in succession.
Moreover, they were all Difficulty Ding-level or higher Illusionary Realm Trials.
One of the Spirit Plant Masters even completed the Yi-level Difficulty Illusionary Realm Trial Assessment.
Li Yan's heart instantly sank to the bottom. If there was another Spirit Plant Master with better results than him, then he would have no hope for the top three.
Another hour passed.
Most of the Spirit Plant Masters in the Illusionary Realm had already retreated.
So far, only four High-Grade Spirit Planters have passed the Assessment and advanced to Second-Rank Spirit Plant Masters.
"It seems like only the last one is left, right?"
"It's Qin Ming, he hasn't come out yet."
"He hasn't come out for so long, he's probably failed, right?"
The Spirit Plant Masters present started discussing one after another.
As soon as he finished speaking. A green streamer flickered, and Qin Ming's figure appeared below the Wooden Formation.
Just when everyone thought he had failed.
The seven huge Wooden Tablets behind him all flashed with soaring light.
A line of text appeared on it very conspicuously: Jia-level Difficulty Trial Assessment passed!
Time taken five hours.
In an instant, the air was silent.
The Elders of the Spirit Feather Sect and the Spirit Plant Masters present were all shocked.
"Could it be a mistake?"
"It's actually a Jia-level Difficulty Trial?"
"This is almost breaking the Sect's historical record."
"It's a pity, only half an hour short."
The Elders of the Spirit Feather Sect looked at each other for a moment, feeling that what they had missed was not just a good Disciple.
At this point, the top three of this Plants and Trees Illusion Trial have been determined.
Qin Ming deservedly took the top spot.
He was also filled with emotion. He did not expect that the Trial Assessment content of Jia-level Difficulty would be to let him plant three different Spirit Plants in the desert.
At the beginning of the Trial, he needed to select three types of Spirit Seeds suitable for growing in the desert Illusionary Realm from hundreds of Second-Rank Spirit Plant Spirit Seeds.
If he made a mistake in the first step of selection, the Assessment would fail immediately.
Fortunately, Qin Ming's Spirit Plant Book had not been read in vain on weekdays.
Based on his memory, after correctly selecting three types of Spirit Plants, he entered the planting and cultivation stage.
Originally, he wanted to try to pass the Trial without relying on Entries to see if he could pass the Trial.
As a result, he found that he still underestimated the Trial Difficulty of Jia-level Illusionary Realm.
Although he successfully planted two types of Second-Rank Spirit Plants in the Illusionary Realm, there was not much time left before the end of the Trial.
For the last Spirit Plant, he still used the [Ripening] Entry.
This Trial in the Jia-level Illusionary Realm was equivalent to two years of time passing. He had further Enlightenment and improvement in the planting experience of Second-Rank Spirit Plants.
After passing the Trial, he also received rewards in the Illusionary Realm. A full seven wisps of 'Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Woods' were taken into his pocket.
Li Yan stared at Qin Ming with his eyes fixed, his heart already filled with jealousy, but he couldn't burst out on the spot.
Elder Gu's face looked very gloomy, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Elder Liu, on the other hand, showed a hint of a gratified smile.
The Spirit Plant Masters present all showed envious expressions when they looked at Qin Ming and the others who had successfully advanced to Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master.
Qin Ming was also overjoyed in his heart, after all, he had waited too long for this moment.
Advancing to become a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master.
This meant that from now on, he would be exempt from the Corvée of the Spirit Feather Sect, restore Free Status, and not be bound by the Sect.
Qin Ming suppressed his excited mood, walked up to the Elders of the Spirit Feather Sect, and got straight to the point: "Reporting to all Elders, I have already advanced to Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master. According to the Sect rules, I hope to remove the Forced Labor Agreement on me."
As soon as these words came out, the Elders of the Spirit Feather Sect had nothing to say, after all, this was the rule set when the Sect Conscription Cultivators in the first place.
Elder Zhuang Xiran hesitated for a while, then asked Qin Ming: "We have discussed it. With your Innate Talent in the Path of Spirit Plants, we still hope you will stay in the Sect. The Corvée can also be exempted, and you can choose to enter the tutelage of any Elder according to your own wishes. Little friend Qin, would you reconsider?"
"Thank you for Elder Zhuang's kindness, but my mind is made up." Qin Ming refused without hesitation.
Elder Liu also sighed, "Sigh, so be it."
"Elder Gu, please take out the Forced Labor Agreement roster."
Elder Gu frowned upon hearing this, reluctantly took out an ancient Jade Slip, glanced at Qin Ming, and then handed it to Elder Liu.
Elder Liu glanced at the Corvée roster, and then crossed out Qin Ming's name and the sealed agreement behind it.
In the dark.
Qin Ming felt that something invisible that had enveloped him was completely removed.
"Little friend Qin, congratulations on becoming a Second-Rank Spirit Plant Master. Now you have been exempted from the Corvée of this Sect and restored to Free Status."
"From now on, you are free to stay or leave, and there will be no Connections between you and this Sect."
Qin Ming was excited when he heard this, and quickly bowed to Elder Liu to thank him.
After all, this Quota of his was obtained by Chen Qiaoling from him.
Qin Ming already had plans for the future.
And he had no intention of staying here any longer.
Afterwards.
He did not care about other people's gazes.
He directly walked out of the Mountain Gate of the Spirit Feather Sect, and drove the Spirit Light Flying Shuttle, flying towards the direction of Green Sun Market.
