"Alright, let's go now." There's nothing else to do after that!

"Hmm!" After closing the hidden compartment, the three turned and left. "Hey, wait a minute," Big Horn called out as he reached the door. Ignoring the other two, he walked to the snake and pinched its head with his claws.

“I’m warning you, if you tell your master who took the spirit stone, I’ll make you into soup.”

Upon hearing this, the snake, which had been feigning death, trembled with fear.

"Very well, a wise man submits to circumstances." He then dropped the snake and turned to leave.

"You're back?" Sui Yi opened her eyes, looking at the group of people grinning smugly.

"We've already taught that person a lesson for you. Actually, we'll give you all our spoils." Ah Xing took out some spirit stones from his ring and placed them beside her ingratiatingly.

"If you want to eat spirit stones in the future, you will have to earn them yourself, whether you sell medicinal herbs or candy. Be self-reliant."

Upon hearing Suiyi's words, Ah Xing was overjoyed, meaning that she wouldn't hold them accountable for the foolish thing they had done this time.

"Ningning is the best! I knew Ningning wouldn't punish me." Ah Xing jumped over and affectionately rubbed her hand against Suiyi's. Da Jiao and Qiu Niu watched with envy and jealousy, wishing they could be like that too.

The next morning, Sui Yi and the others got up very early, had breakfast, and set off for Xuanfeng Sect.

There were quite a few people on the road, all traveling the same route as them.

"Tsk tsk, these people are all going to Xuanfeng Sect. The rich and powerful ride mounts, while the rest walk." Sui Yi and Zi You walked. The two children sandwiched among a group of adults were quite a sight, attracting frequent attention.

Sui Yi kept her eyes straight ahead, already used to this kind of gaze. The two waited listlessly for the city gate to open.

"Make way, make way, make way." Qingrong, who was waiting with the others, saw an acquaintance and pulled the cart toward the two of them.

"Oh? It's you guys! You're going for the assessment today, right?" he said with a smile.

"Uncle?" Sui Yi turned her head and saw the uncle from that night. She exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha! Ningning is so thoughtful, she still remembers this slovenly old man."

"How could I forget you, Uncle? By the way, are you also heading out of the city gates to do business?"

"That's right! It's the same route. I'll take you to the foot of Xuanfeng Gate in a bit."

"Thank you, uncle!"

"Oh! No need to thank me!" Qingrong quickly waved her hand and said with a smile.

"The city gates are open! Let's go!" Ziyou glared at Qingrong and reminded her. Whenever he arrives, Ningning's attention is completely drawn to him! What's so great about an old man?

As soon as the door opened, everyone rushed forward, pushing and shoving. Suiyi and her friends didn't participate; they just chatted and waited for the people in front to leave.

"Uncle, are you setting up a stall again today?"

"Today is so interesting, of course I'm going to watch the excitement, I won't set up my stall! Let me tell you, the Xuanfeng Sect's assessment is divided into three steps. The first step is to test your heart, the second step is to look at your talent, that is, to look at your spiritual root, and the third step is to look at your comprehension."

"What's your opinion on these three steps?" Ziyou asked curiously as he leaned closer.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!" He looked at Ziyou with a mysterious expression and said nothing more!

Ziyou: ...That old geezer.

Sui Yi suppressed a laugh. The old man and the young girl were like sworn enemies, always finding fault with each other whenever they met.

"Let's go, Ningning, get in the car." The people in front had moved out of the way, and Qingrong called Ningning to get in the car.

"Hmph!" Ziyou saw Suiyi go up, so he followed her up, not forgetting to snort coldly.

"You brat, you have no manners!" After laughing and scolding, he got into the carriage, and the horse found its way on its own.

“Ningning, when you go to Xuanfeng Sect, you should find a good master. Xuanfeng Sect has thirteen peaks, the largest of which is where the sect leader resides, that is, where the main hall is located. The other twelve peaks are under the jurisdiction of twelve elders. Each elder has many disciples and teachers to teach them. I think none of these twelve elders are suitable for Ningning. On the contrary, the Grand Elder is the most suitable for you, young man.” He looked at Ziyou.

"oh?"

"There is also competition among the twelve elders of Xuanfeng Sect. Among them, the fourth elder is the most competitive. He is also a petty person and gives people a very bad impression."

"The other elders are very reasonable and are the sect leader's right-hand men. They are very fair and just. If you need anything in Xuanfeng Sect, you can go to them. The elders with the most disciples are the Eighth Elder and the Sixth Elder, because they mainly focus on cultivation. The sect leader has a disciple named Rong Xi, who has extremely high cultivation talent and is already at the Golden Core stage! The Xuan Tian Hall is where the sect leader and his disciples live, the Xuan Ji Hall is where the First Elder and his disciples live, the Yao Ji Hall is mainly for alchemy and is managed by the Third Elder, and the Wu Ji Hall is managed by the Fourth and Fifth Elders. There are also the Ling Ji Hall, Tai Xuan Hall... each managed by several elders. Inside Xuanfeng Sect, there is a Demon Suppression Tower. This tower has nine floors and contains many stubborn spirit beasts of different levels. It is open to disciples during certain times to participate in actual combat. There is also a Spirit Cultivation Tower, which is built on a spirit gathering array. This tower is built underground and also has nine floors. It is the opposite of the Demon Suppression Tower; the higher the floor, the lower the spiritual energy." Qing Rong explained some information about Xuanfeng Sect to Sui Yi and Zi You.

"Uncle, how do you know so much detail?" Suiyi asked.

"Because I used to be a disciple there. For some reason, I didn't stay there, but instead went down the mountain and set up a small stall."
