"Who?" The young man beside him looked puzzled.

"The opportunity that Master nurtured for you last time was stolen by a junior in the Qi Refining stage. We went to find that person, but in the end, nothing came of it."

A hint of amusement appeared on Su Boyuan's calm face.

The young man's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Is he the one who took away the true spiritual energy of the Nine Yin Earth Fire, yet was given a letter of recommendation from my sword sect?"

Su Boyuan nodded slightly. He gently drew his sword, and the sword, once unsheathed, circled above his head several times before finally pointing in a certain direction.

"The other party still has that letter of introduction. In that case, I can find his location. It all depends on you, junior brother..."

“Senior Brother Su, there’s no need for that. The fact that we failed to fulfill our great-grandfather’s wishes and that our advertisements didn’t reach enough schools is also related to this person. Don’t you want to find him?” Sun Lu said with a half-smile.

Su Boyuan turned to Sun Lu and said, "Then I'll accompany you!"

It's important to understand that business competition in the cultivation world isn't about stock market manipulation or online feuds; it's about real, offline competition!

There was once a company that engaged in a business war with the enterprises under their Guiyuan Sword Sect.

Then, the company's legal representative was almost beheaded.

The company's leader was so frightened that he dared not let his father continue to act as the legal representative...

Sun Lu smiled with satisfaction. With Su Boyuan backing him up, there were many more things he could do.

Although he had never met Chen Yi, he harbored deep resentment towards him.

If he had obtained the true spiritual energy of the Nine Yin Earth Fire, he could have entered the Foundation Establishment stage two months ago.

Fortunately, Master Yuanyi doted on his great-grandson and found him another opportunity, bringing him both true spiritual energy and cultivation techniques.

His progress in establishing his foundation was only one month behind schedule, and he has now been successfully establishing his foundation for a month...

But this doesn't mean he'll let bygones be bygones.

Not only did this delay his Foundation Establishment progress by a month, but now that he finally has a mission, he's running into obstacles because of this person.

That Chen Yi guy is probably my natural enemy. I must humiliate him severely this time and make him give up that letter of recommendation.

The Guiyuan Sword Sect isn't a place just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can join...

"Whoosh!"

The two stepped onto their flying swords and gracefully disappeared into the horizon.

......

Xiankao, Examination Room No. 3026, Xiande Middle School.

At the invitation of Ma Guangzhi, Chen Yi and Li Yun visited the Xiankao site as sponsors.

In addition, members of the school board will also visit.

Chen Yi saw a familiar face and greeted him.

"Director Zhao."

Zhao Liangpeng looked over upon hearing the sound, his eyes gleaming brightly.

It is no exaggeration to say that he was happier to see Chen Yi than to see his own son.

The other party not only saved his Zhao family, but was also the first person in the history of Xiande to be selected by a major foreign power before the Immortal Examination.

It is said that Yu Shun, who used to be from the Yu family, later went to work for a major foreign power.

However, Yu Shun was not selected before the immortal examination, but after studying at the immortal cultivation academy for two years, he was chosen.

In comparison, Chen Yi seems even more legendary than Yu Qian's brother, Yu Shun...

"Young and promising! Truly young and promising! If my son Manjin can achieve even a tenth of what my friend Chen Yi has achieved in the future, I can entrust him to you with peace of mind."

Zhao Liangpeng sighed deeply.

"Director Zhao, you flatter me!" Chen Yi said modestly.

After exchanging pleasantries, they began to examine the immortal examination.

Since so many sponsors and board members came to watch, the first part was naturally the outdoor exams.

Otherwise, drawing symbols in the classroom wouldn't look very interesting.

"Thanks to Black Whale Puppet Cultivation Technology for sponsoring the combat puppet!"

The examiner enthusiastically shouted out the advertising slogans.

"Black Whale Puppet, your most loyal protector."

"Cultivating immortality relies on injections, and passing exams requires finding Black Whale."

"Magic power may be exhausted, but knowledge never sleeps—Black Whale Intelligent Learning Puppet~"

Chen Yi looked down from the observation seat and examined the puppets.

Although I know that as a sponsor of the Immortal Examination, the puppet will definitely undergo many checks and be submitted to the Central Court for approval, so there is a high probability that there will be no mistakes.

But he was still traumatized by the last incident of the puppet going mad, so he decided to take a closer look.

Since taking over the puppet of the Lord of the Cave Heaven, his puppetry skills have improved rapidly, and now has reached level 2.

The lv.2 entry upgrades the original [Basic Construction] to [Precision].

[Entry: Precision Construction]

Effect: You can decipher the puppet's intricate structure without disturbing its core and rune array.

Now, he can spot some of the puppets' problems with just a glance.

Hundreds of intricate parts inside the black whale puppet's body appeared before his eyes.

Of course, he only saw the intricate internal structure of the puppet, which does not mean that he has cracked the puppet's technical code.

From a structural perspective, these puppets do have unique features.

These puppets are very different from living modified puppets; they are purely mechanical structures, similar to mechanical tunnels.

Chen Yi felt that his puppetry skills had improved again.

[Through your efforts, your puppetry skills have improved; proficiency +10]

He touched his nose, never expecting that watching a celestial exam would increase his proficiency...

However, these puppets have been confirmed to be completely safe.

Wu Lingyao and Yu Qian can now take the exam with peace of mind.

Li Yun seemed somewhat distracted.

After all, he came here to save Song Xin, and watching the immortal examination was only to keep Chen Yi company.

Chen Yi was somewhat interested, after all, this immortal test was the path he was about to take.

Now, however, I find myself standing in the spectator stands, watching those familiar faces take the stage.

“Boss, it’s your dad!” Hou Xiangheng suddenly spoke up.

"Your dad!" Zhao Manjin replied instinctively, and when he looked up, he actually saw his father.

In the past, Zhao Liangpeng would never have come to watch in person.

It was precisely because of his performance during the beast tide that he gained his father's approval.

But what shocked him even more was that Zhao Liangpeng would occasionally talk to the young man next to him.

And that young man was none other than Chen Yi!

"Chen Yi?"

Many people were startled by Zhao Manjin's exclamation.

Several students from Xiande School turned to look in this direction.

"That really was Chen Shen I saw on the playground yesterday!"

"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier!"

"I should have asked him for his autograph yesterday!"

Some students from other schools who were assigned to this examination room, however, seemed somewhat disdainful.

Some of the candidates from Cangyan and Jiuding felt that Chen Yi had gradually faded from public view since winning first place in the five-school joint examination, and they did not understand why the Xiande people were praising him so much.

In the examination hall, the students are giving it their all, hoping to achieve a score that could change their destiny in the immortal realm!

Chen Yi seemed to sense something and looked towards the horizon.

Two figures riding swords hovered above Xiande Middle School.

"The Guiyuan Sword Sect has come to observe and test us!"

Zhao Liangpeng frowned, glancing at Ma Guangzhi with a hint of accusation in his eyes.

The latter spread his hands innocently and said, "I... I didn't receive any sponsorship from them!"
