"That's true."

"And this time, I came for Xiu Qiyu, while you also came to find a protector. Don't forget that."

"I just wanted to see what the Sword Tower was capable of."

"This is something only Heaven, Earth, you, and I know."

"How is Xiu Qiyu? Is she doing alright here?"

"Brother Xiu Qi and Ye Liusha are currently in seclusion. Let's get together when they come out."

"Okay, have you decided when to get married?"

"In half a month, that is to say, within half a month, Brother Xiu Qi must successfully become an apprentice."

"With Xiu Qiyu's aptitude, wouldn't it be easy for him to become an apprentice?"

"The Heavenly Sword Sect is full of hidden talents and experts, which is beyond imagination. You have seen the Heavenly Sword, haven't you?"

"I saw it; it truly contained the majesty of heaven, inspiring awe in all who beheld it."

"If Brother Xiu Qi wants to forge the Heavenly Sword, he must become a disciple of Elder Zhang Hua of Heavenly Sword Peak."

Is this difficult?

Ye Xiruo nodded: "That's right, it's difficult. Master Zhang Hua has been living in seclusion for many years and hasn't taken on any disciples for 120 years. Even Brother Xiu Qi didn't have an absolute certainty that I would be able to become Master Zhang Hua's disciple."

"What about the Night Sands? Has the problem been solved?"

Ye Xiruo continued to shake her head.

"What's going on now? Could it be that he wants to become fellow disciples with Xiu Qiyu and both become disciples of Elder Zhang Hua? It seems like the chances are better if the two of them do it."

"No, Ye Liusha has his own choices, Elder Meng, you've already seen that, haven't you?"

"Yes, no one has ever put so much pressure on me, a peerless master."

"The true master is of similar skill to Master Meng, but he is also eccentric and has not taken on any disciples for a hundred years. Ye Liusha's journey is also long and arduous."

"If I had known that the Heavenly Sword Sect had so many peerless masters, I would definitely have come to the Heavenly Sword Sect with Xiu Qiyu. You have no idea that I've been on the verge of exploding in the Haoqi Pavilion these past two days."

"What's wrong? Who dares to bully Senior Brother? I'll go and kill him."

"Junior sister, don't get agitated. I've already dealt with those who bullied me. Such things might happen again in the future, which is why it's so annoying."

"They're just filled with deep, deep jealousy. But jealousy is useless. Without your senior's talent, nothing you say will change anything."

Do you think it's too late for me to defect from the Righteousness Pavilion and join the Heavenly Sword Sect?

"Senior Brother, wake up! If you dare to do that, Master will throw you into the alchemy furnace and turn you into pills, or Elder Meng will slap you to death. Do you understand?"

"I'm just thinking about it."

"Never mention this idea to anyone again. Besides, even if you defect from the Haoqi Pavilion, do you have a chance to join the Tianjian Sect? Perhaps as a high-level alchemist, that's possible, but as a swordsman, it's absolutely impossible."

Is there absolutely no hope?

"Once you go to the Sword Tower, then to the arena, the training ground, and the Sword Mountain, you will understand that this place truly is a paradise for swordsmen, home to countless exceptionally talented swordsmen."

"Junior sister, I'm so discouraged."

"Senior Brother, please hang in there. If you decide to enter the Sword Tower tomorrow, you should rest well today. I will go with you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, junior sister."

"Don't worry, senior brother, if you get thrown out, I'll definitely catch you down there."

Zishu: ...All that emotion I felt just now vanished instantly. My junior sister is indeed cunning and wicked.

Tomorrow is the last day of the newcomer assessment. Ye Xiruo's pill stall has reopened, attracting the attention of most swordsmen. Therefore, not many people noticed the unfamiliar face, Zishu.

Zishu entered the Sword Tower for the same reason as Ye Xiruo: since he was going to choose a swordsman as his protector, he naturally couldn't choose someone weaker than himself. He had to personally test him in the Sword Tower in order to make a better decision.

Having witnessed Ye Xiruo's achievements, the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect had high hopes for Zishu, and they were also very curious about how far Zishu could go.

Zishu was placed in the last group so that fewer people would pay attention to her.

People gathered in front of Ye Xiruo's medicine shop again. Those who were about to challenge the Sword Tower felt an inexhaustible energy after seeing Ye Xiruo.

Those who have taken the Nightfall Pill say that it is really effective. They were originally only able to reach the third level, but they managed to break into the fourth level and almost made it to the fifth level.

Now they finally saw Ye Xiruo, who was their savior.

Because the assessment was nearing its end, there weren't many people coming to watch. The swordsmen present were all very happy, thinking, "Serves you right for not coming! Now we're in luck!"

"Please line up and come one by one. This time, we are specially launching the premium anti-aging pill and the premium aphrodisiac pill. Welcome to purchase them."

Two elders: Σ(°△°)︴What exactly is Master Ye Dan trying to do in front of everyone?

Of course, it's for the spirit crystals.

Ye Xiruo originally thought that the aphrodisiac pills would do better, since they were all grown men. Unexpectedly, the sales of the youth-preserving pills were three times that of the aphrodisiac pills. What was going on? What were these burly swordsmen thinking?

There's a reason why aphrodisiac pills aren't selling well: most people are single, so what would they need aphrodisiac pills for? To look at someone?

The Supreme Youth-Preserving Pill is different. Although they themselves don't need it, their future partners do. You might think that if they were to give a bottle of the Supreme Youth-Preserving Pill at a crucial moment, they could win the heart of their beloved.

They had long heard of the supreme youth-preserving pill, which was extremely rare. Even if they were unlucky and couldn't find the woman they liked, so what? They could resell it and still make a profit.

It can be said that this group of swordsmen were extremely cunning.

Ye Xiruo brought out several hundred bottles of pills this time. After the sale started, other people came one after another after hearing the news, and the scene was extremely popular.

The swordsmen who participated in the Sword Tower assessment today performed exceptionally well and were very respectful; they were practically live advertisements.

"Do you know Chang Guang? He's about the same strength as me. I've only reached the fourth level, but this guy actually made it to the fifth level today. He must have taken drugs, definitely took drugs."

"That Mei Er is definitely on drugs. Why didn't I meet Master Ye Dan sooner? If I had met Master Ye Dan earlier, my assessment score might have been a level higher."

"It's not too late to meet them now. With the support of pills from now on, our cultivation speed will definitely increase. When we dominate the world, will the elders not notice us?"

"That's true."
