Lan Zhi thought for a moment, then turned back and picked up several items that looked very valuable and held them in her arms. Then she sat down on the steps in front of the shop and began to study the knowledge that she had stuffed into her mind temporarily in the Wende Hall. The advantage of cultivation was right here. As long as she stuffed the content of the books into her mind, she could retrieve and read it anytime and anywhere, without the need to hold the books at all. However, with so many books, it was definitely impossible to read them all. So Lan Zhi came up with a last-minute cramming method. —Directly doing past exam papers over the years! She retrieved all the content related to the examination of medicinal materials in the books, first summarized the questions, scopes, and categories of the examinations on medicinal materials over the years, and then began to read them targeted. The flow rate of time in the mental state was the same as that in the outside world. In the next two hours, except for checking the time from time to time and picking up some valuable things from time to time, Lan Zhi spent the rest of the time studying. She didn't put the picked-up things back to their original positions until the assessment was almost over. Since Lan Zhi had no greedy thoughts in her heart, once she put the things down, all the scenes in the mental state disappeared. What reappeared in front of her was the spotless ladder to the sky again. She stood on the ladder to the sky, only a few steps away from the end. About a dozen examinees had already completed the assessment and were standing in twos and threes on the square at the end of the ladder to the sky. Lan Zhi swept her gaze and saw Jin Yuman sitting on a chair with her cheek propped up. Her state was even better than that of the others. Lan Zhi wasn't too surprised. For someone like Jin Yuman, this assessment was actually the easiest to pass. She didn't waste any more time and quickly walked up the remaining steps and completed the assessment. A quarter of an hour later, the first special assessment was officially declared over. A total of twenty-seven people completed the assessment. Among them, there were fifteen noble family cultivators including Jin Yuman, and only twelve poor family cultivators including Lan Zhi. Everyone had gone through the assessment overnight, and their emotions had fluctuated greatly during the assessment process. At this moment, they were all a bit tired. So the Pinglan Star Academy didn't immediately start the second assessment but gave them some time to rest first. Thanks to Xing Zhi's comfort and tolerance, Lan Zhi was in a good state. So she didn't waste time resting. She just had a meal and then continued to do past exam papers over the years. After the break time ended, the bell rang again. Dang— Chang Youfang stood in front of the examinees and announced: "The second item of the special assessment: crossing the bridge!" He turned sideways and pointed into the air with his hand raised. Everyone looked in the direction of his hand. They saw a seven-color rainbow bridge slowly appearing in the air, spanning from the mountain top where they were standing to the opposite mountain top. It was like a real rainbow that appeared on the horizon after the rain stopped and the sun shone, and it was even more beautiful and dazzling than a real rainbow. Even though everyone had seen the ladder to the sky made of white clouds before, they were still a bit stunned when they suddenly saw such a seven-color rainbow bridge—just how profound was the foundation of the Pinglan Star Academy that it could casually come up with so many miraculous creations for the assessment? Even Elder One-Two-Seven, who was one of the notaries, and the vice-teacher of the Fengtian Star Academy looked a bit envious. However, the examinees didn't have the mind to pay attention to these things. Because, as the ladder to the sky had proved, the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it would be. Before actually stepping on it, no one knew what was hidden in this beautiful seven-color rainbow bridge. So even when the assessment started, everyone was still hesitant and didn't go up immediately. Lan Zhi had already established a bold image during the previous ladder to the sky. If she took the lead again this time, it wouldn't make people feel strange. So Lan Zhi took the initiative to go up first. Unexpectedly, there was someone who had the same idea as her.
