658 Year-end Evaluation (Thanks to the Alliance Leader, Wind’s Chocolate) _2 658 Year-end Evaluation (Thanks to the Alliance Leader, Wind’s Chocolate) _2 The Cultivation Elder nodded with satisfaction.
Mo Hua pondered for a moment before speaking softly,
“Elder, most cultivators in this world are just practicing Qi Refinement…”
The Cultivation Elder paused, his gaze carrying a meaningful depth.
“Indeed.”
“Then they…”
“If they are stuck in Qi Refinement all their lives, their problem is mostly not their aptitude. The bottleneck in their cultivation has only one word…”
The Cultivation Elder said lightly, “Poverty.”
Mo Hua felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The Cultivation Elder looked at Mo Hua with a profound gaze, a hint of surprise that he himself hadn’t noticed appearing on his face.
Eventually, he managed to control his emotions and nodded slightly,
“Don’t think too much about it; you are just at the Foundation Establishment level, just focus on your cultivation…”
“If your cultivation progress is slow and you end up repeating a grade, it wouldn’t necessarily mean getting expelled, but it’s a bit embarrassing…”
Mo Hua nodded, then suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Right, the Elder had reminded him…
Currently, among his fellow disciples, he was “Junior Brother.”
If he repeated a grade, he would have to address his current fellow disciples as “Senior Brother” and “Senior Sister!”
It meant dropping two junior ranks in hierarchy!
That won’t do!
Absolutely not!
Mo Hua’s face was serious.
He must speed up his cultivation, not to mention, he absolutely must not repeat a grade!
Otherwise, he would lose the authority of being the “Junior Brother!”
The Cultivation Elder was taken aback; for some reason, Mo Hua suddenly seemed highly motivated…
But that was a good thing.
He decided not to say anything more.
“However…”
The Cultivation Elder looked at Mo Hua again and sighed inwardly.
Core Formation is difficult…
The Spiritual Root really was too poor, it was uncertain whether he would be able to overcome that threshold when the time came…
…
These things, Mo Hua was still unaware of.
Besides cultivation, in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Rune Refining, he was only graded “C”.
Nothing surprising there, he was stable.
From the instructors to his fellow disciples, and even Mo Hua himself, no one was surprised.
But Elder Yi, who taught Taoist Skills and knew Mo Hua better, said during a casual chat,
“I can also only give you a ‘C’…”
“I wanted to give you a higher grade, but I couldn’t…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Mo Hua reassured Elder Yi instead.
The grading of Taoist Skills is divided into three types: Spells, Martial Arts, and Swordsmanship.
As a disciple within the sect, mastering one of them suffices.
After all, genuine Dual Cultivation of Spirit and Body, including expertise in swordsmanship, even within the talent-rich Qianxue State Boundary, is incredibly rare and should not serve as a standard for ordinary cultivators.
Especially the likes of Mo Hua, a cultivator below such “standards.”
Elder Yi still felt regretful and said,
“You execute spells very well and use them proficiently. Your combat mindset is also far superior to ordinary cultivators…”
“But these things are not part of the rigid assessment…”
“The assessment of spells revolves primarily around the grade of your spells and the Cycles of spiritually powering the spell you manage…”
“So your situation is disadvantaged…”
“You don’t have any spells with significant power…”
