Apart from the written test, the subsequent exams were not particularly difficult.
Drawing talismans, capturing ghosts, these were areas Xu Yang was fairly proficient in.
Praying for rain, creating clouds, setting up lightning; these were essential tests for a cultivator at the "Entering Dao Realm" level. They needed to choose one out of the three to complete, and for those at the "Qi Refining Realm", it's considered an "extra credit question".
Completing one increases the exam score.
But if one doesn't complete it, it doesn't really matter.
As for the remaining meditation, altar setup methods, and precision tests for Daoist incantations, Xu Yang thought he could handle those.
Since he had already signed up, even if he didn't take the exam, he could go and check out the hubbub. Wu city wasn't far from Changan, and now that there's high-speed rail, he could go there in the morning, stroll around, and return in the afternoon in time for dinner.
