C154 Examination? Trial?

Seemingly seeing through Fang Ming's thoughts, the youth lightly shook his head and laughed, and said: "Hehe, Brother Fang, don't misunderstand, this should be the first time you have come to Formation Masters Guild, right?"

Hearing that, Fang Ming nodded.

Seeing this, the youth first introduced himself before explaining.

His name was Gan Xing, a 1-star Spiritual Array Master.

So if one wanted to learn spirit inscriptions in the Formation Masters Guild and become a real Spiritual Array Master, one needed to determine whether they have the talent in array dao or not. Otherwise, regardless of whether they have the talent or not, everyone would come to learn spirit inscriptions.

The way to determine one's talent was to buy a mini spirit pattern monument with only ten engravings on it. Only by mastering all the engravings would one have the talent for Array Dao. Then, after passing the examination, one could become a Spiritual Array Apprentice and enter the inner courtyard to study spirit inscriptions on the Spirit Pattern Tablet!

However, there was a time limit for this sort of mini Spirit Marking Tablet. After activation, the spirit markings on it would only appear for one month. After that month, the ten spirit markings on it would disappear and one would have to purchase them if they wanted to continue learning.

This was the Formation Masters Guild's method of adding income!

If one was a bit weaker, one might not be able to comprehend a single one, but if one wanted to buy a mini spirit pattern monument back, the ten spirit patterns on it were not the original spirit pattern. All of them were combined at random!

In Quannan County City, there were many people who wanted to become a Spiritual Array Master, and the price of the mini Spirit Marking Monument was not low either. It actually cost a hundred thousand Mysterious Gold Coins s, Fang Ming was speechless when he heard this.

The reason why they were able to sell it at such a price was all because the complete Spirit Pattern Tablet was too expensive. Other than a few Array Dao families, there weren't many powers or families that could afford it!

"So that's the case. Then, where is the examination for the Spiritual Array Apprentice?"

After listening to the other party's explanation, Fang Ming immediately asked about the location of the disciple examination. Since he had the identity of an apprentice, he could enter the Inner Academy to comprehend the Spirit Marking Monument.

Fang Ming swore to not take the Spiritual Array Master test, not because he did not know how to carve an array disc, but because he knew how to be low-key!

Yes, this is how low-key big brother keeps a low profile!

"You've already grasped ten spirit inscriptions?"

Gan Xing was startled, a trace of surprise showing on his face. This guy clearly didn't know anything, but he was actually taking the exam?

"Yes."

Fang Ming immediately nodded, and did not explain any further.

"Then do you have any Spiritual Array Master recommendations?" Gan Xing asked again.

"Spiritual Array Master's recommendation?"

Fang Ming was startled again. Wasn't it just taking the apprentice examination supposed to be troublesome?

"Hehe, I thought you didn't study spirit tattoos so you didn't mention that you need a Spiritual Array Master to recommend you to take the Spirit Apostle examination. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess if everyone went to take the exam?!" "Hmm, judging from your appearance, there shouldn't be a sponsor. I'll bring you there directly and recommend you as well!"

Seeing Fang Ming's reaction, Gan Xing kept his formation plate and blade, and laughed as he explained, then stood up and led the way.

"Thank you, Brother Gan!" Fang Ming cupped his fists in thanks.

"There's no need to be so polite, Brother Fang. I have nothing else to do anyway."

Gan Xing's display of enthusiasm allowed Fang Ming to gain a better understanding of the Formation Masters Guild.

The guild was divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard.

The outer court was divided into the business district and the examination hall, and they were open to everyone.

The business district was naturally the business area outside the guild. The main areas were the sale of spirit formation materials and the mini Spirit Pattern Stele that was mentioned just now.

In addition, of course, there was also the setting up of arrays. These arrays did not refer to the setting up of array flags, but rather to the setting up of an array formation that could be permanently activated. This array formation was similar to a sect's great protective array, or to competing in the array's defensive array.

At the side of the examination hall was the area that Fang Ming was about to go to. The Spiritual Array Apprentice Exam, Spiritual Array Master Exam, and various other testing methods were all inside the hall.

Compared to the outer courtyard, which was accessible to everyone, the inner courtyard was only accessible to disciples with the status of Spiritual Array Disciples and above. It mainly included the Spirit Pattern Tombstone, the Library, the Array Testing Hall, and the Teaching Hall.

During this conversation, he also learned that the Rank Three and Four spirit stone tablets were separated. He could only learn Rank Three spirit inscriptions after becoming a Rank Two Spiritual Array Master and Rank Four spirit inscriptions after becoming a Rank Three Spiritual Array Master!

Hearing this rule, Fang Ming's eyes almost went black. In other words, if he wanted to learn level 3 spirit inscriptions, wouldn't he have to first pass the test to be a level 2 Spiritual Array Master?

When he thought about it, he realized he still did not know how to lay down the array and could only draw the array, so he asked: "Brother Gan, what is the method of Spiritual Array Master's assessment?"

"Gan Xing, we've finally found you. Master has sent out the letter. Come with me to congratulate him!"

However, just as Fang Ming asked this question, before Gan Xing could even answer, he saw a young man in yellow robes rushing towards him, but with a face full of joy.

"Really?" When Gan Xing heard this, he was also overjoyed.

"Of course it's true. I heard that there's another important person coming from the headquarter. Let's hurry up and go over there!" The yellow-clothed youth said.

"Brother Fang!"

Hearing the yellow-clothed youth's words, Gan Xing turned his head and looked towards Fang Ming in embarrassment.

"Brother Gan, I have something to take care of. I'll head over myself." Fang Ming laughed.

"Alright, thank you Brother Fang for your understanding, this is the recommendation token, not too far ahead is the examination location, there are many people there, it is easier to find." Alright, thank you Brother Fang for your understanding, this is the recommendation token, not too far ahead is the examination area, there are many people there, it is easier to find.

With that, Gan Xing took out a palm-sized order badge and directly placed it into Fang Ming's hand. Then, he and the yellow-clothed youth quickly left.

"That …"

A gentle breeze blew by, causing Fang Ming to look at the two's figures that were walking far away in a daze. He muttered: "Can you tell me the method of assessment for Spiritual Array Master first?

In the end, he shook his head and continued walking forward. Not long after, he arrived at the examination hall, there were quite a few people there, so he casually asked around to find out where the Spiritual Array Master examination was held. At the same time, he also understood that one had to have the identity of an apprentice to take the Spiritual Array Master examination.

Luckily the apprentice examination was not too difficult, just like the method used to charge into the Spirit Pattern Tower, one could pass the test by condensing spirit patterns using spirit energy, and only needed to master ten spirit patterns. Furthermore, there were not many people taking the spirit disciple exam, thus Fang Ming quickly obtained the medallion and headed to the location of the Spiritual Array Master examination.

Although he didn't know if he could pass the examination in drawing the array, he still had to give it a try. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to learn a third level spirit pattern!

However, when he arrived at the examination location for the Spiritual Array Master, he was stunned. He saw that all five groups were lined up in a few tens of people, and it seemed like it wouldn't even be his turn until nightfall!

"Isn't it just the Spiritual Array Master test? Do you need so many people to set up a formation to take part in it? There's also the assessment of how to break through the formation, there's actually no one waiting in line? That's great!"

Fang Ming looked at the very front of the queue from afar. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, there were two entrances to the formation, and three entrances to the formation that were marked with the word "Formation". Not far away, there was even an entrance where no one was queuing up at, marked with the words "Trial by breaking the formation!"
