Chapter 50: The Isolated Examination Hall
The second round of testing was divided into five disciplines: Talismans (符), Divination (相), Formations (阵), Artifacts (器), and Medicine (医).
A proper cultivator was not expected to master them all, but familiarity with at least two was considered fundamental.
Because formations and spiritual medicine were rare specialties, the lottery seldom assigned them. Even if someone drew one of these two by accident, they were usually granted a single chance to redraw.
Old Bai’s luck held — he drew Talismans.
Old Zhou drew Divination, his strongest skill as well.
Both were visibly relieved.
When Yun Jiao stepped up, the registrar glanced at her, hesitated, and checked the jade nameplate in his hand.
“You’re Yun Jiao?”
“Yes,” she nodded calmly.
