After the assessment, the examiner awarded "Skill Certificate" to Li Xiuchang and three others.
It's really just a certificate.
However, it seems to be made of the skin of some monster beast. It has the texture of parchment, is very strong, is difficult to tear, and is also waterproof and fireproof.
The cover of this certificate has three characters "Immortal Arts Association" written on it.
Immortal Arts Association is a relatively loose and non-profit organization led by the four largest sect forces in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the Immortal Shade Realm and working together with the top figures in each industry.
Among them are Outer Sect Elder-level figures from the four major sects, as well as skill masters from other large and small sects, and many Rogue Cultivator craftsmen who are like wandering clouds and wild cranes.
In short, as long as any Cultivation Techniques reaches the master level, you can join Immortal Arts Association and hold an official position.
The purpose of establishing Immortal Arts Association is to standardize various Hundred Cultivation Arts industries.
Before the establishment of the Immortal Arts Association, Immortal Shade Realm was a mixed market with many scammers posing as high-level craftsmen, often causing various transaction disputes.
There are also low-level craftsmen who lie about their true level. For example, Tier 1 Talisman Master falsely claims that he is Tier 2 Talisman Master who helps others make talismans, just to get a chance to practice.
However, with the introduction of the Immortal Arts Association and the promotion of the Cultivation Techniques assessment system, everyone only recognized the "Skill Credential" issued by the Immortal Arts Association, and similar disputes have decreased a lot.
Immortal Dust Sect is the northern giant among the four major sects that formed Immortal Arts Association, and therefore has the privilege of conducting skill assessments within his own sect.
Li Xiuchang opened the Skill Credential in his hand and saw the words "Li Xiuchang, Tier 1 Spirit Planter" written in the upper left corner with special rhyme.
If he passes the assessment of other skills in the future, it will be recorded on the same certificate.
This Skill Credential is actually a simple small magic weapon, with a trace of Li Xiuchang and Divine Sense in it to prove his identity.
Don't look at this small booklet, it incorporates a variety of anti-counterfeiting techniques developed by the Immortal Arts Association elders, and there are more than a hundred methods to check authenticity.
Li Xiuchang noticed that there was a small golden mark printed in front of his name on the certificate.
The certificates in the hands of the other two candidates did not have this golden mark.
"This is..."
"This is the 'gold medal' mark certified by our Immortal Arts Association. It means that you are a gold medal Tier 1 Spirit Planter. Generally, only Spirit Planter with a stable implantation success rate of more than 90% can be awarded the gold medal title. However, those who get full marks in the Tier 1 Spirit Planter assessment can also be awarded with exceptions."
There is also this saying...Li Xiuchang was delighted, which represented Immortal Arts Association's recognition of his skill level.
In the future, if you use this certificate to farm for others, your salary will be higher than other Spirit Planters of the same level.
The examiner explained the meaning of the golden mark very quickly, and immediately asked impatiently, "How did you do it?"
He had been holding back this question for a long time, and finally asked it after all the assessment procedures were completed.
Li Xiuchang was stunned for a moment before realizing that the examiner was asking him about using Charcoal Attribute Mana to fertilize Spirit Plant.
He had nothing to hide, so he told the story about his practice of "Fire Starting Skill" that mutated into Charcoal Attribute Mana, and accidentally discovered that Charcoal Attribute Mana could be used to fertilize Spirit Plant.
After learning that Li Xiuchang and Charcoal Attribute Mana were cultivated due to mutations, the examiners lost most of their interest.
Mana mutation is a rare thing, especially this kind of special attribute mutation that seems to have never appeared before. The probability is extremely low and it is almost impossible to copy.
And when I asked, I found out that "Fire Starting Skill" is still a eunuch skill that only Qi Condensation Stage has. When Li Xiuchang reaches Foundation Establishment Realm and changes to the skill, it is not certain whether Charcoal Attribute Mana can still keep it.
However, several external examiners still had a certain interest in the "Fire Starting Skill" technique.
"I wonder if I can borrow Guizong's "Fire Starting Skill" for a look?" the examiner looked at Yan Song and asked.
"The sect has rules and martial arts books are not allowed to be borrowed from outside." Yan Song replied.
After hearing this, several examiners stopped thinking about it and never mentioned it again.
Yan Song asked in return, "Li Xiuchang used his own magic power to fertilize. Does this achievement count?"
For some things, it is better to ask and confirm them in person than to have someone bring up old scores later.
"He has never violated any rules, so it counts. Although he is suspected of cheating, after all, he passed the test based on his own ability. I can only say that... he was born to eat this bowl of rice." The examiner looked at Li Xiuchang with a burning gaze. If Li Xiuchang was not a disciple of the Immortal Dust Sect, he would have wanted to take Li Xiuchang under his disciple.
Their previous evaluation of Li Xiuchang was that Spirit Plant was a genius that only happened once in decades.
But after Li Xiuchang passed all the assessments with full marks and showed the unique Charcoal Attribute Mana, it would be different.
In their view, if nothing unexpected happens to Li Xiuchang, growing into a Spirit Plant master is a matter of course.
Of course, there are also some geniuses who eventually disappear into oblivion.
But if you take on a disciple like Li Xiuchang, you can at least save a lot of fertilizer money in the future.
When the assessment was over, the examiners did not stay any longer and left one after another.
The other two senior brothers who passed the examination also congratulated Li Xiuchang, exchanged a few words, and left after becoming familiar with each other.
Li Xiuchang deliberately delayed it until the end, of course to receive the reward.
He was still thinking about his seed gift package and medicinal fields.
Of course Yan Song knew what Li Xiuchang was waiting for, and said, "I will report the situation to the sect and apply for a reward for you. Come back to the General Affairs Hall in a few days to receive it."
The tall senior sister on the side took the initiative and said, "You and I Identity Token have completed the matching. I will notify you when your reward arrives."
"Thank you, senior sister." Li Xiuchang took out Identity Token and matched it with the tall senior sister's Identity Token.
This Identity Token pairing is like two people "adding friends". In the future, they can use Identity Token to chat within the range of the Immortal Dust Sect.
During this process, Li Xiuchang also learned the name of the tall senior sister, Yan Xue.
"They have the same surname as Senior Brother Yan Song, so they can't be related, right?" Li Xiuchang guessed in his mind.
At this time, Yan Song held a large handful of spirit stones and handed them to Li Xiuchang, expressionlessly saying:
"I'm willing to admit defeat. Since you passed the Tier 1 Spirit Planter assessment, as agreed, I will pay you your monthly salary for the next three months. This is based on your monthly salary after becoming Tier 1 Spirit Planter. There are a total of sixty spirit stones. Please count them."
Li Xiuchang's original basic monthly salary was ten spiritual stones. After becoming Tier 1 Spirit Planter, it increased to twenty spiritual stones.
Li Xiuchang naturally refused to take it, and there was no need to offend Outer Sect Senior Disciple Brother for a mere sixty spirit stones.
But Yan Song couldn't resist and said, "I always act according to the rules, one code equals the other. I lost the spirit stone to you, so you take it. You violated the rules of the sect and practiced multiple skills without obtaining Skill Credential. I will not give you any less of the three months' monthly salary you deserve."
Li Xiuchang had long heard about Senior Brother Yan Song's strict temperament, and finally had no choice but to accept the spirit stone.
