.....

Inside the Autumn Examination Secret Realm of the Dachen National Daoist School, several rankings formed by condensed Starlight flashed one name after another.

These were the True Disciple Ranking, Core Disciple Ranking, and Inner Sect Disciple Ranking.

Especially for disciples from the state and county, seeing their names appear on the True Disciple or Core Disciple rankings was exceptionally thrilling, and congratulations were heard all around.

In contrast, the participating disciples from the Dachen National Daoist School were silent.

Even though they occupied seven of the top ten spots, compared to the results of previous years, this was a disgrace.

But the person who felt the worst was Lv Kun.

Originally, there should have been a place for him on the True Disciple Ranking.

He was even supposed to be among the top five True Disciples.

Unfortunately, he was overturned in the first stage.

Not only did he not make it as a True Disciple or Core Disciple, but he wasn’t even an Inner Sect Disciple.

However, Lv Kun was not very worried.

His strength was recognized by everyone, and afterward, he should be able to secure a special recruitment spot. The institute had precedents for such a case.

Of course, hopes for becoming a True Disciple or Core Disciple were out of the question.

But securing a position as an Inner Sect Disciple should be fine, as the institute wouldn’t want to see such a talent sink into oblivion.

This thought made Lv Kun even more depressed. Originally, becoming a True Disciple was a certainty for him.

But now...

More crucially, the Star Domain tier during Star Casting was extremely important to him.

It affected his future cultivation foundation.

He didn’t have the means to change this; only his family elders could intervene.

Actually, Lv Kun had a thought he had never shared with anyone: he was feeling regret.

Over the past two days, Lv Kun thought about his actions during the first stage—if he had simply outdone Xu Jin instead of foolishly trying to eliminate him, would he now be among the ranks of the True Disciples?

Most likely...

Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret...

[Xu Jin: Congratulations on winning the leader of the fifth stage of the autumn exam. Please collect your Pill reward from the Foreign Affairs Hall of your institute. The second-tier Star Casting opportunity will be activated in two days. An instructor will notify you, please prepare for Star Casting].

[Xu Jin, congratulations on becoming a True Disciple of the Dachen National Daoist School. If your Star Casting is successful, please report to the Dachen National Daoist School within seven days].

Xu Jin received the Starlight Transmission, unfortunately, it wasn’t from Qi.

Thus, the Dachen National Daoist School Autumn Exam ended, and Xu Jin successfully secured the position of National Taoist Institute’s True Disciple.

But Xu Jin felt heavy-hearted, unable to be happy without hearing that Qi was safe.

"All disciples, leave the Autumn Examination Secret Realm immediately."

With an order from Yu Da, Chief Instructor of the Dachen National Daoist School, all disciples left the Autumn Examination Secret Realm in a very short time. However, the high-ranking members were still on the Martial Observation Platform.

"The two Star Masters, regarding the selection of outstanding quotas, please determine them now so we can prepare," Meng Yanhui, the Left Libationer of the National Daoist School, asked expressionlessly.

This, every year, was the most uncomfortable issue to address, but it had to be done.

This was the Court of the Dachen, where the National Daoist School reluctantly signed a covenant years ago with Tianyang Star Hall and Cangming Star Hall.

The covenant contained countless episodes of blood and tears!

Hearing this, Star Masters Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen exchanged a glance. Du Tingyun suddenly said, "State Preceptor Cheng, since you changed to the B plan this year, we need to keep the candidates confidential!

If we tell you now and you tailor your preparations, it wouldn’t be fair."

"Indeed, we will inform you of the specific candidates right before the selection," Zhang Zhen stated.

"Isn’t that inappropriate?"

Meng Yanhui frowned, "The outcome of Star Casting is uncertain, even for top talents. Their cultivation progresses differently. If you don’t confirm the list now and then change it later, won’t we be at a greater disadvantage?"

"It was you who changed to the B plan. If we had informed you of the specifics earlier, and you enhanced your preparations accordingly, wouldn’t we be at a disadvantage?" Zhang Zhen retorted dissatisfied.

State Preceptor Cheng suddenly tapped on the table, "Alright then, use the Star Jade to record the list, then both parties seal it with Star Power, and finally, I will personally seal it. A month later during the selection, we will open it.

This way, both parties benefit."

Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen looked at each other, then nodded simultaneously, "Agreed."

Thereupon, Du Tingyun took out a piece of Star Jade, entered three names, and passed it to Zhang Zhen, who also entered four names. Both then applied their Star Power seals in turn before handing it over to State Preceptor Cheng for the final seal.

After applying the Star Power seal, the fingertips of State Preceptor Cheng released Star Power, and the thrice-sealed Star Jade suddenly flew up, hovering in the sky.

"Let’s leave this Star Jade here then. A month later during the selection, we’ll check it and personally break the seal. How does that sound?" State Preceptor Cheng proposed.

"Agreed."

Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen nodded simultaneously, confident that with their Star Power seals, it was safe to leave the Star Jade here.
