I Know All Negative Effects of Entries in Instances-Chapter 410 - 280: Senior Sister

"Dear disciples, your meals have arrived."

Beside the cliff, a Daoist strides confidently on what seems to be nonexistent stone steps, approaching the people on the stone platform one step at a time.

Reaching the front, he places the meals on a stone table nearby.

Meanwhile, the people sitting on the ground, engrossed in their books and occasionally glancing at the cultivation technique inscribed on the cliff, are not sparing a single glance at the Daoist.

Half a year has passed since they arrived here.

Initially, the people present felt agitated by the sheer volume of books, sensing an inability to persevere.

Eventually, they gradually calmed down and began to accept the difficulty level of this final task.

Comparatively, this task merely requires them to devote some time without any actual loss.

Having calmed down, they are now able to embrace the challenge.

More than when they first started, they appear increasingly determined.

For days and nights, over ten hours, they can be seen studying relentlessly, some even barely sleeping, just to advance their progress bars a little more.

At the beginning, when the Daoist brought them meals, they would still take notice.

Now, even when the Daoist stands right before them, they haven’t the thought to spare even a glance.

After all, casting one glance at him would interrupt their cultivation, and no one wants to waste their time.

However, among them..... there is an outsider.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Seeing the arrival of the meals, Zhou Yingting quickly rises to her feet, then beams as she approaches the stone table, after examining the meals before her, she promptly sits down and starts eating.

To the senior brother Qingshan witnessing this scene, it’s long become routine and unremarkable, so he isn’t surprised in the least.

However, while everyone else is focused wholeheartedly on their cultivation, Zhou Yingting seems particularly lackadaisical.

This appears quite peculiar.

During the prior examination, Zhou Yingting was the first to ascend.

Why is it now that Zhou Yingting appears to be the first to give up?

Even if the previous examination wasn’t fully effective in filtering out the weak-minded, merely half a year should hardly suffice for giving up, right?

As Qingshan senior brother thought of this, looking upon Zhou Yingting gave him a strange feeling.

With so many people here focused on cultivating, even if one of them wasn’t steadfast, they should still be somewhat influenced by the others.

But Zhou Yingting....

He truly couldn’t fully understand.

Thinking for a moment, he shook his head afterward.

Forget it, as this cultivation technique serves as their introductory practice, not everyone can master it successfully.

To master this technique, one needs an unwavering determination and must possess talent to succeed in cultivation.

If, after ten years the person hasn’t learned successfully, then they could simply send her down the mountain.

Thinking of this, he turns and strides away with a shake of his head.

These people now call him senior brother, but after ten years, how many will still be able to call him that?

This Evergreen cultivation technique is not something easily mastered.

Even though this batch of disciples is sizable, those who can’t succeed within the time allotted will also face expulsion from the mountain.

Qingshan steps on invisible stairs, heading toward the top of the cliff, and moments later, he returns to the top.

"How’s this batch of disciples, is there anyone with notable potential?"

An elegantly dressed woman in white stands atop the cliff, her white robes fluttering in the mountain winds.

Her long, black hair is also dancing with the wind, revealing an exceptionally delicate face embodying an ethereal charm.

The woman is peering down.

Upon seeing Qingshan return, she softly inquires.

Qingshan hearing her words, ponders a bit, then nods, "After half a year, within this group, their determination still holds, they can persist."

"However, there’s only one who appears quite lax without regard for the cultivation technique’s progress."

"Regarding aptitude..... it’s still unclear at this moment, it might take at least another half a year until their potential becomes evident."

The woman considering this nods too.

Indeed, that is correct, the Evergreen cultivation technique is exceedingly tough, after merely half a year, it’s no easy task to discern anything.

At minimum, it requires a year to see whether they possess the aptitude.

"Master sister, why are you concerned about these outer disciples?"

Qingshan ponders then asks curiously.

Previously, the master sister had never shown interest in outer disciples.

After all, outer disciples aren’t truly disciples, only upon mastering a cultivation technique do they become genuine disciples within the sect.

Usually, the master sister is quite busy, naturally, she wouldn’t pay much attention to outer disciples.

Upon hearing this, the woman’s gaze flickers subtly, followed by a sigh, "Our world these days is unstable and now the priority is to recruit disciples quickly."

"If the number of disciples is increased, then it could help handle those troubles."
