Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 105: Qualification Assessment (1)
After waiting for an hour, in the private room on the second floor, Shopkeeper Qu walked in late. After taking a sip of spirit tea and sitting down, he smiled and said, "I was discussing some matters with the Golden Core Deacon and made you wait."
Shen Ping hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Qu, you're too polite. I didn't wait long."
Just as Shopkeeper Qu was about to ask what it was, his eyes lit up. "Your spiritual energy aura is thick and round. Have you perfected your Qi Refinement? Haha, congratulations!" He seemed to be even happier than Shen Ping.
Shen Ping said helplessly, "Shopkeeper Qu, I'm here for this matter. I wonder what conditions are needed for a Talisman Master's special-class guest elder assessment?"
Previously, they had talked several times. Shopkeeper Qu did not explain in detail. This time, he tried to make a mid-grade Level Two talisman and discovered a problem. Only then did he come to ask. If he really could not reach it, he could only give up and build his foundation.
After all, he was not young. He could not delay any longer.
Shopkeeper Qu did not respond. Instead, he stood up with a face full of enthusiasm and said, "Talisman Master Shen, I only know a little about the conditions involved in this special-class guest elder assessment. Only deacons and above in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion in Qingyang City know about it. Moreover, we have to apply to the deacons for the assessment. Let's go.
I'll take you to the deacon."
Shen Ping was stunned and could not help but ask, "Meet Deacon Xia?"
Above the guest elders of the True Treasure Pavilion were deacons. The lowest cultivation level to become a Deacon was at the Golden Core Realm.
At Cloud Mountain Parlour, although he had seen deacons, elders, and even Nascent Soul elders, that was just a meeting. When he arrived at Qingyang City, he could only see deacons, first-grade, and second-grade guest elders when there was something to inform them. Usually, not to mention deacons and elders, it was rare to even see second-grade guest elders, let alone befriend them.
Now, he suddenly had to deal with a Golden Core cultivator.
Honestly, he was a little nervous.
Shopkeeper Qu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Deacon Xia treats people gently. Moreover, you're applying for the special-class guest elder assessment this time. If Deacon Xia knows, he will definitely support you fully. This is a huge matter for the headquarters."
Seeing this, Shen Ping took a deep breath and followed. Golden Core Realm cultivators rarely stayed in the True Treasure Pavilion. However, there was something on in the building today, and Shopkeeper Qu had come late because of this.
Hence, Deacon Xia happened to be in the room in the backyard. Of course, even if he wasn't around, Shopkeeper Qu would at most bring Shen Ping along.
At the door of the room, the aura of the Golden Core surged over.
"Deacon Xia."
"What is it?"
A gentle voice came from the door.
Shopkeeper Qu did not say anything. Instead, he gave Shen Ping a look. Shen Ping hurriedly went forward and cupped his hands. "I'm Shen Ping, a third-grade Talisman Master guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion. I'm here today to apply for the special-class guest elder assessment—"
Before he could finish speaking, Deacon Xia's figure was already standing at the door. He retracted the aura of his magic power and glanced at Shen Ping with bright eyes. "I know you. You can pass the Talisman Master assessment at the Cloud Mountain Parlour at the Qi Refinement Realm. Your level in the Talisman Dao is not bad.
However, do you know the minimum conditions to apply for the Talisman Master assessment?"
The last voice exploded in Shen Ping's ears.
Shen Ping's spiritual energy circulated rapidly. It was a long time before he came back to his senses. He suppressed his restless spiritual energy and slowly said in a low voice, "Senior Qu once told me that I have to be at the Qi Refinement Realm to be able to create a low-grade Level Two talisman!" As he spoke, he released a trace of his Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.
Deacon Xia immediately smiled. "Come in."
The two of them walked into the room. Shopkeeper Qu still stood respectfully outside the door.
"Sit."
"Thank you, Senior Xia!"
Shen Ping sat on the chair and leaned forward slightly with a respectful expression. The person in front of him was a Golden Core Perfected. Moreover, ordinary Golden Core cultivators could not be a deacon at the headquarters.
Deacon Xia said gently, "Guest Elder Shen, since you already know the minimum requirements for the special assessment and have a Foundation Establishment Divine Sense at the Qi Refinement Realm, I think you can make a low-grade Level Two talisman. However, the requirements to really pass the assessment are much harsher."
Shen Ping cupped his hands. "Senior Xia, please tell me."
Deacon Xia said bluntly, "Every special-class guest elder is the core of our True Treasure Pavilion. Therefore, any applicant will first undergo the qualification assessment. The evaluator needs five Golden Core Daoists, and three of them must have the ability of a high-grade Level Two Talisman Master.
"After confirming your qualifications, the headquarters will send a Nascent Soul elder to escort you to a place. You have to undergo three assessments there. You will only obtain the special-class guest elder token after passing all three. However, this is only temporary."
Shen Ping was secretly speechless. Although he had guessed that the special assessment would be very strict, he did not expect it to be so complicated. Just the qualification assessment required a Golden Core Daoist to evaluate.
At this moment, he vaguely felt that this special-class guest elder was not simple.
"Guest Elder Shen, if you have any doubts, feel free to speak." Deacon Xia said seriously.
The main base of the True Treasure Pavilion had been stationed in Qingyang City for so many years. It was not that there had never been a special-class guest elder applicant, but more than 90% of them had not even passed the qualification assessment. None of them had passed the next three assessments.
Even so, every time he met an applicant, Deacon Xia would tell him everything.
Shen Ping raised his eyes and asked, "Senior Xia, I wonder what conditions are required for this qualification and the next three assessments. For example, the number of low-grade Level 2 talismans produced, the efficiency…"
Deacon Xia shook his head gently. "I don't know the content of the assessment either. I only know that it seems to be different every time."
