“Little apprentice, you can’t blame your master. Your master has been away for too long and there are a lot of things to take care of.”

"I don't mind. Anyway, Master and I are in the same boat. I came here today for the sake of my two senior brothers. Please help me, Master."

“I can’t take all three of you in one go. You saw what happened today. If I really did that, I wouldn’t be able to stay in the Haoqi Pavilion.”

“I didn’t mean for Master to take us all in. What I meant was, does Master have any reliable candidates who could be the mentors of the senior brothers?”

"Of the seven elders today, six already have disciples and have a good relationship with them. The only one without disciples is Old Man Huo, but he has a volatile and easily angered personality, so it's hard to say whether he's a good choice."

"Alright, I need information on these seven elders. Could you please help me gather it?"

With their talents, the two senior brothers naturally deserve the best. In Ye Xiruo's opinion, even though the eldest senior brother and Yingxun did not have the bloodline of a divine master, they were both very likely to become divine masters.

I believe the seven elders have recognized the value of their two senior brothers and will cherish them. As for Xue Junhan, he too must take care of his two senior brothers.

"I will send the documents to you tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, Master."

"There's no need to be so polite with your master."

Ye Xiruo quickly went back to rest. Her room on Lingyun Peak had already been built. It was a small mountain peak that was slightly shorter than the main peak. Spiritual herbs, flowers, and fruits were everywhere on the mountain, and spiritual energy permeated the air, just like a fairyland.

The system secretly told Ye Xiruo that this small mountain peak was the place with the most abundant spiritual energy besides the main peak, and that a spiritual vein was buried beneath this mountain peak.

Ye Xiruo's residence is a three-story wooden house. The first floor can be used as a greenhouse to grow some flowers and plants, or to cultivate some spiritual herbs.

The second floor has a reception room and a study, while the third floor contains living quarters and an alchemy room. Everything inside is spotless, and the furnishings are exquisite, giving it a very elegant feel.

The craftsman must have put a lot of thought and effort into this entire hilltop, including the cabin. Ye Xiruo felt a surge of emotion.

Although the master is mostly unreliable, he is truly exceptional to her, as can be seen from the meticulous arrangements made here.

Xue Junhan also gave Ye Xiruo two servants to take care of her daily life and help her manage this large little mountain.

But where will they stay? That's a question that Master Xue probably hasn't thought of yet.

Ye Xiruo thought it would be good to build a few small wooden houses on the west side of the hill for them to live in. As for entertaining guests, there are guest rooms on the third floor.

Zishu, Yingxun, Huarong, and Qingzhiyi couldn't rest together that night. Cin Ding took out a transparent crystal ball from his spatial ring, which then transformed into a crystal boat, with the starlight of the night falling upon it, creating an indescribably dreamlike scene.

"It's so beautiful, it must be very expensive."

"This starship has three forms and can freely absorb the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon, and turn it into power. Its defense and attack capabilities are both quite good."

Their performance today was so eye-catching that, of course, Ye Xiruo was naturally ignored by the two of them. No matter how much their junior sister attracted envy, they were helpless against her.

Is jealousy useful? If the gap were small, there would still be a chance to compete. But now the gap between them and their junior sister is simply too big; there's no comparison at all. Their junior sister is destined to be someone who makes them despair. If they could recognize this reality sooner, they might be able to forge their own paths in the future and not live in their junior sister's shadow.

If they care too much about this matter, their Dao heart may develop flaws, making it difficult for them to make any progress in this life.

Those who were resentful and couldn't catch Xiao Yezi naturally became easy targets for attack, which is why Ying Xun took out the Crystal Warship directly.

With the Crystal Warship's defensive capabilities, the two of them were able to rest peacefully for the night.

The assessments for Hua Rong and Qing Zhiyi today are similar to those for the alchemists; they will be tested on their combat strength and potential.

Hua Rong and Qing Zhiyi's combat strength is not very high, it's at an average level, seven stars, but their potential is quite good, both ten stars.

Bai Qi's combat strength is seven stars, and his potential is ten and a half stars. He was also found to have the special physique of the Wind God Body.

This caused the elder's face to contort slightly.

"What's wrong, Elder? Is there something amiss?"

"You've had the body of the Wind God since you were a child?" Sometimes there's a big difference between what's innate and what's acquired, so it's necessary to find out.

Bai Qi nodded: "This is a family tradition; it was awakened at birth."

The elder's expression turned even uglier. He had originally thought that Bai Qi had awakened his powers later in life, which was why he had such a small amount of combat strength. But now that he had asked, it turned out that he had awakened his powers innately and had cultivated for eighteen years before reaching the seven-star combat strength. This was too unscientific.

Bai Qi felt a chill run down his spine under the elder's gaze.

"What's wrong, Elder? Is there a problem?"

"The Wind God's Body has awakened in you, what a pity, what a pity."

The white flag fluttered in the wind, a sign of being looked down upon.

"There's nothing we can do about it, it's just how we are."

"You've passed this test. I hope you can pass the next test smoothly. Do you know what it will be like after the Wind God's Body is fully awakened?" Sigh, what a spendthrift! He doesn't cultivate properly at all. The elder who was testing Bai Qi both loved and hated him.

There are nearly five hundred warriors from the Haoqi Pavilion, divided into five teams for testing. Those with potential at the seven-star level will undoubtedly join the Haoqi Pavilion as outer disciples.

If someone has eight stars of potential, they might be lucky enough to join the inner sect, but if they're unlucky, they'll probably need to stay in the outer sect for a while to gain experience.

Hua Rong, Qing Zhiyi, and Bai Qi's grades weren't particularly outstanding, but they weren't too bad either. They were definitely qualified to enter the inner sect. As for whether any elders would take notice of them and accept them as disciples, that would depend on their luck.

However, the three of them weren't worried at all. They were determined to fight their way out, no matter what. Otherwise, they would really have to separate from Ye Xiruo and the others.

Xiu Qiyu's situation seems to be going well, and everything is normal on Ye Xiruo's side. Once everything settles down, she will go to the Heavenly Sword Sect to see Xiu Qiyu in person.

I hope that Brother Xiu Qi and Ye Liusha will like the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The next morning, the list of candidates was delivered to Ye Xiruo. Ye Xiruo looked at it carefully, analyzed it, and compared it with the list of candidates she had seen the day before, preparing to choose a master for her senior brother and senior brother Yingxun.
