"A high-grade puppet..."

Li Zhiming touched his chin.

Qi Yang really is determined to destroy himself, and this time he even got a high-grade puppet.

With a puppet of this level, Qi Yang obviously wanted to take this opportunity to kill himself during the trial road.

However, puppets of this quality are hard to find and are in short supply.

The price to pay for getting a puppet like this is not small.

This time, he will make sure Qi Yang has no way out and lose all his money!

"I think it's unlikely to be the second grade. Puppets are rare to begin with, and high-grade ones are even harder to come by. The probability of it being below the third grade is very high, and the probability of it being above the third grade is very small." Shi Bujue replied.

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Shi, for telling me."

"There are not many days left before the trial road opens. Disciple must go back and prepare first."

"Go ahead. The next time you remove the poison, wait until the end of the Trial Road. You will be participating in the Trial Road in seven days. It is not advisable to waste your time and energy helping me remove the poison before then."

Shi Bujue looked out the window and said casually.

Li Zhiming paused slightly and felt a little warmth in his heart.

I didn't expect that this old guy would care about others.

"Thank you for your understanding, Master Shi. When the trial is over, I will come to help you remove the poison as soon as possible."

Shi Bujue didn't say anything, but just waved his hand, signaling Li Zhiming to leave.

…

Seven days later, dawn broke.

A deep bell sound came from the depths of Zhenyuan Sect.

The sound of the bell, carrying tremendous energy, slowly spread out and swirled over the entire Zhenyuan Sect.

Li Zhiming opened his eyes after hearing the bell.

He has already adjusted his physical and mental state to the peak, and the next step is to participate in the trial.

Li Zhiming simply washed up and pushed the door open before walking out.

Figures shuttled back and forth between the mountains, forests and buildings.

After hearing the bell, everyone set off for Zhongshan Peak.

Once the ancient bell on Zhongshan Peak rings, all disciples of the Inner Sect must gather at Zhongshan Peak.

Li Zhiming withdrew his gaze and walked down the mountain.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the foot of Zhongshan Peak.

At this time, the stone stairs leading to the top of the mountain were full of disciples climbing up.

Li Zhiming followed the crowd to climb Zhongshan Peak.

The Zhenyuan Hall was built against a stone wall, and the square in front of the hall was extremely spacious, more than enough to accommodate several thousand inner sect disciples of the Zhenyuan Sect.

According to the rules of Zhenyuan Sect, all disciples of the inner sect can participate in the trial road.

However, disciples who have already participated in the trial road once will automatically lose their qualifications.

Whether the other disciples participate is entirely up to their personal wishes.

Although the Road of Trial is a grand event held by the Zhenyuan Sect within the sect, it is still full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will die in it.

Therefore, not all disciples will choose to participate in the trial path.

Li Zhiming came to a corner of the square, stood under an ancient tree, and waited quietly for the trial road to open.

There were more and more people in the main square, and it was very busy and bustling.

Li Zhiming made a rough estimate and concluded that the scale of this group of people must be at least two thousand.

And that’s just part of it.

The total number of inner sect members is over ten thousand.

Disciples accounted for two-thirds, and disciples participating in the trial road accounted for more than half of the total number of disciples.

"Li Zhiming!"

A familiar voice sounded in my ears.

Li Zhiming leaned against the tree trunk with his arms folded.

He had long noticed that Qin Chuan was approaching him stealthily, probably intending to scare him.

No matter how old you are, you are still like a child.

"You scared me to death, man."

Li Zhiming pretended to be frightened, patted his chest and let out a long sigh.

"You have advanced to the sixth rank?"

Li Zhiming looked at Qin Chuan and found that his breath was a little disordered, but much stronger than before.

This situation is clearly a breakthrough.

No matter how talented a person is, his aura will become chaotic after breaking through the realm, and it will take a certain amount of time to polish the realm.

It’s just that some people can adapt quickly, while others need several months or even a year or two to completely polish the new realm.

"I was lucky enough to break through, which just gave me more confidence to participate in the trial road."

"Have you used the elixir?" Li Zhiming asked again.

"Good fellow, you can see this, but what I used was not an elixir, but a 5,000-year-old blood ganoderma lucidum, which helped me break through from the late seventh level to the sixth level in one fell swoop!"

"The Millennium Blood Ganoderma contains extremely rich blood and pure spiritual energy, which is suitable for a sixth-grade breakthrough to the fifth-grade. It would be a waste of resources for you to use it to break through to the sixth-grade." Li Zhiming shook his head.

"The Trial Road is about to begin. There is no need to wait any longer. Besides, I will have to leave after I come out of the Trial Road." Qin Chuan smiled.

"Return to the clan?"

"That's right. I told you before that my old man arranged a marriage for me. Now the time is almost right. I have to go back to fulfill the marriage contract."

"I remember your fiancée is the daughter of a general, right?"

"That's right, the daughter of the Tang Dynasty's King Zhenbei, is said to be extremely talented and beautiful, and is also a direct disciple of the Supreme Heavenly Palace."

"If I return this time and am still a seventh-rank cultivator, I will be laughed at."

Qin Chuan smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You are so lucky, boy."

"How dare you say that to me? You are the one who is so lucky. Senior Sister Mingzhu calls you Junior Brother Li all the time, making others envious."

"Stop talking nonsense. Be sure to send me a message before the wedding. I'll definitely eat at the wedding banquet." Li Zhiming quickly changed the subject.

"Don't worry, I'll send you a message after I return to the tribe and set a date."

Qin Chuan smiled and began to look forward to a happy life in the near future.

"Junior Brother Li, what are you two so happy about?"

Mingzhu looked around and saw Li Zhiming and Qin Chuan, and came over jumping.

"Nothing. Senior Sister Mingzhu, do you want to participate in the trial road?" Qin Chuan asked.

"I didn't want to participate, but since Junior Brother Li wants to participate, then I naturally have to participate as well." Mingzhu replied.

“…”

Li Zhiming remained silent. He didn't know what Senior Sister Mingzhu was thinking, why she had to follow him in everything.

Fortunately, Senior Sister Mingzhu is quite powerful. After arriving at Qingluan Peak, her realm has improved rapidly.

Li Zhiming was shocked by the speed of improvement.

Now it is the middle stage of the fifth rank.

However, Mingzhu seemed to have some kind of spiritual weapon that concealed her aura, and ordinary people could not detect her realm.

Li Zhiming was able to see Mingzhu's strength because he practiced the Taichu Heart Sutra and mastered the Taichu Qi.

At the middle fifth level, one has enough power to protect himself and does not need to divide his attention to take care of himself.

Who knows, he might still need Senior Sister Mingzhu's help on the road of trial.

"Li Zhiming, Qi Yang is here!"

Qin Chuan reminded, his expression turning serious.

Li Zhiming looked up and saw Qi Yang and Tian Yaoyao walking side by side not far away.

The two also saw Li Zhiming.

The six eyes met, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.
