"Hurry up and test it."
Guan Huaiyu said somewhat impatiently.
He was already being polite by not kicking Lin Mingguang out directly.
If it were anyone else, Guan Huaiyu would have driven them away long ago, not even giving them a chance to test.
Although Guan Huaiyu was an outer sect elder of the Life Dao Sect, he was still afraid of offending the Lin family.
Lin Mingguang walked slowly to the Gold-Seeking Stone and placed his hand on it.
The gold-seeking stone immediately emitted a golden light, so bright that everyone around was momentarily blinded.
A number appeared within the golden light and changed rapidly.
The final number landed at eighty-three and remained there.
"It's actually golden light, and the score is still 83 points. This is too incredible."
"Green, blue, purple, gold, purple-gold, with gold ranking second. This talent is terrifying."
“I remember that the highest score the Life Dao Sect could get in the Gold and Stone Search test was only ninety points, and now this person is the sect leader of the Life Dao Sect.”
"The sect leader of the Life Dao Sect only scored 90 points, while Lin Mingguang got 83 points. This means that if he doesn't die young, he will at least become an inner disciple of the Life Dao Sect in the future."
"As expected of the Lin family's prodigy, it's only natural that he could achieve this result. He's a genius among geniuses. It's true that joining the Slaughter Dao Sect wasn't just talk; he really has the ability."
...
Everyone was amazed by Lin Mingguang's talent, but Lin Mingguang's expression was not good.
"How could it only be 83 points? It should be at least 95."
Lin Mingguang said with great dissatisfaction, "I am destined to be a ruler and become the new master of the Eastern Region. How could I only have eighty-three points of talent?"
Guan Huaiyu explained from the side, "The Seeking Gold Stone is made of seven-colored stone, using materials used to mend the heavens, and then enlightened by a master of the Opening Heaven Realm. Generally, there will be no mistakes."
"The test for finding the gold stone not only measures the purity and quantity of your spiritual root, but also your physical strength and constitution, etc. There will be absolutely no mistakes. Eighty-three points is already quite high."
"You're talking nonsense! How could my talent be so great?" Lin Mingguang retorted angrily.
"Don't be unreasonable, or I'll get rough."
Guan Huaiyu was somewhat wary of the Lin family, but that didn't mean he was afraid.
If Lin Mingguang goes too far, there's nothing he can do but kill the entire Lin family on the spot.
"A mere cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm dares to speak so arrogantly in front of me."
Lin Mingguang was furious.
What are you saying?
Guan Huaiyu stretched out her large hand, intending to kill Lin Mingguang.
"Elder, please calm down. I am Lin Pingguan, the head of the Lin family's maternal branch. My son was young and ignorant, and I apologize to you here."
From the crowd, a handsome man who bore a striking resemblance to Lin Mingguang stepped forward.
"So you're the head of the Lin family. We should still give you those three small tokens of respect."
Guan Huaiyu had no intention of killing Lin Mingguang; she just wanted to teach him a lesson.
Even with the head of the Lin family's maternal branch intervening, he dared not pursue the matter to the bitter end.
Lin Pingguan is the head of the maternal family, and his cultivation level is at the Dao Ancestor realm.
Guan Huaiyu could kill Lin Mingguang with a single palm strike, and Lin Pingguan could do the same.
Although Guan Huaiyu was backed by the Life Dao Sect, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.
He killed Lin Mingguang on the spot, which would surely incur Lin Pingguan's revenge.
Unless Guan Huaiyu never leaves the Life Dao Sect, he could die at Lin Pingguan's hands at any time.
"Thank you for your understanding, Elder Guan."
Lin Pingguan clasped his hands in a fist salute.
He angrily said to Lin Mingguang, "Apologize to Elder Guan now!"
"I'm sorry, Elder Guan, I was too impulsive just now."
Lin Mingguang bowed.
"It's normal for young people to be impulsive. I hope you will pay more attention to cultivating your character in the future."
Guan Huaiyu said some polite words.
"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Guan."
After apologizing to Guan Huaiyu, Lin Mingguang left the scene.
He returned to his father's side and gave Guan Huaiyu a cold glance.
In front of everyone, Guan Huaiyu made herself look so foolish.
Lin Mingguang will definitely take revenge on Guan Huaiyu when he gets the chance.
Lin Pingguan did not continue to blame Lin Mingguang, but simply looked calmly at the scene.
Lin Pingguan wasn't really apologizing to Guan Huaiyu just now, but only out of respect for the Life Dao Sect.
If a Dao Ancestor apologizes to a Void Refinement stage cultivator, that cultivator will have to brag about it for the rest of their life.
Guan Huaiyu felt a chill in her heart; she hadn't expected the Lin family father and son to be so lacking in martial ethics.
Lin Mingguang was clearly the one who was rude first, but the Lin father and son didn't even bother to find out who was right and still tried to attack me.
Guan Huaiyu was filled with regret; she should have let the elder in charge of the selection speak earlier.
But it was all too late; he had already offended the Lin family.
"Next up, Zhu Xiaotian."
Guan Huaiyu called out to the next person, and for herself, she could only pray for good fortune.
A chubby boy of eleven or twelve years old walked into the center of the square.
Like the two before him, he placed his hand in front of the gold-seeking stone.
The stone immediately emitted a dazzling white light, and the score quickly settled at fifty-one.
"Unqualified, eliminated."
Guan Huaiyu said coldly.
Zhu Xiaotian could only lower his head and quickly get down from the square.
Not everyone can have a large family behind Lin Mingguang, allowing him to act with impunity in front of Guan Huaiyu.
Those who score 70 or above in the search for gold and stones will remain, while those who score below 70 will be eliminated.
As for whether a test taker scores exactly 70, it depends on Guan Huaiyu's mood.
It was obvious that Guan Huaiyu was in a very bad mood, as he had eliminated someone who scored 70 points.
The girl, who scored 70 points, tried to say a few more words, but was immediately slapped away by Guan Huaiyu.
With Guan Yu's immense strength, even a light tap would be too much for a young girl to withstand.
The girl was thrown outside and immediately fell into a coma, with countless broken bones.
The girl's family quickly took out medicine and treated her.
After treatment, the girl survived, but she was no longer destined for immortality.
The girl's family was furious, feeling that Guan Huaiyu had gone too far.
With a girl's talent, she might not be able to join the Life Dao Sect, but joining other Dao Sects would be much easier.
Guan Huaiyu's palm strike destroyed the girl's path to immortality, essentially rendering her a cripple.
However, the girl's family was just a small family, unlike the Lin family, which was so domineering.
They dared not speak out against Guan Huaiyu's actions and could only silently take the girl away.
"Next, Ye Xin."
Guan Huaiyu continued, her face dark.
The girl's life or death was of no importance to him.
The girl had already been crippled by him, and her family wasn't a powerful clan.
"This Ye Xin could be a member of the Ye family, a prominent family in the Eastern Region. I didn't expect him to still be alive and to have come to the Life Dao Sect. He's really impressive."
"I was a little confused at first because Lin Mingguang was supposed to go to the Central Region to join the Life Dao Sect, but now I understand everything."
"It's no use for Ye Xin to join the Life Dao Sect. Now that the Lin family has come to the Life Dao Sect, it's no different from walking into a trap."
...
People pointed and whispered about "Ye Xin".
