"Let's wait a little longer. What if my fiancé is very talented? Then I will be with him and not consider Yuan Zhan..." Xu Mingzhu thought. Although Yuan Zhan looked more gentle and handsome, and his smile was more charming, he gave Xu Mingzhu a feeling that he was difficult to control. In comparison, her fiancé was easier to deceive, and he knew her well, so he was safe and reliable.
"Okay, let's get off the boat." Tuoba Qiongjin said.
Xu Mingzhu and others got off the paper boat and found an open square in front of them. Many paper boats had landed there. Each paper boat was led by an elder. Each elder brought at least ten people off the boat, and the most brought fifty people. Their ages ranged from fifteen to thirty-five years old, and all of them were mortals who had not practiced any martial arts.
From time to time, colorful magical lights bloom above the square, which are very eye-catching even in the daytime.
There is a tall stone platform in the middle, on which stands a white-haired young man.
Calling him a "young man" is actually not quite accurate, because his age is over 300 years old, but his appearance remains at around 20 years old. The reason why he has white hair is because of the practice of martial arts.
Most of the strong men in the "Baishou Sect" have white hair. It is said that this sect was formerly called the "Tianxi Sect". Later, because there were too many people with white hair, it was called the "Baishou Sect" by the outside world. Over time, people didn't know what the real name of the Tianxi Sect was. The sect leader had no choice but to change the sect's name to the "Baishou Sect".
At this moment, the white-haired "young man" standing on the high platform is a peak master named Lan Yumo who is responsible for testing the newcomers.
His left eye was a deep black, while his right eye was a clear blue.
Her silver hair was tied up with a red band, and her skin was sickly pale.
He coughed a few times and raised his hand to cover his lips, with bright red blood seeping from between his fingers.
The cough was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. Suddenly, everyone stopped talking and turned to look at him.
"My name is Lan Yumo, and I'm the person in charge of this discussion with you... cough cough cough..."
As he spoke, he coughed even more violently.
Xu Mingzhu thought to herself, "Can cultivators get sick too? He's so sick, I wonder if he can infect us..."
The next moment, coughing sounds rang out one after another. Xu Mingzhu also covered her lips and began to cough. A bloody smell surged into her mouth. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she found that she was also coughing up blood.
This disease is contagious!
At this moment, a snow-white handkerchief was handed to him.
Xu Mingzhu turned around and saw that it was Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan coughed heart-wrenchingly. He covered his mouth tightly with a handkerchief in his right hand, and the blood dyed the entire handkerchief red. With his left hand, he stuffed a clean handkerchief into Xu Mingzhu's hand.
“Thank you…thank you…”
Xu Mingzhu was a little scared. She was very suspicious and didn't like to use things given by strangers, but Yuan Zhan gave her the handkerchief in front of so many people, so there shouldn't be a problem. Xu Mingzhu lifted the handkerchief and smelled it. It had a light citrus scent, which was quite pleasant. She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, wondering in her heart: Yuan Zhan, a grown man, why did he carry two handkerchiefs on his body?
"Mingzhu..." My fiancé was in good physical condition. He only coughed twice and there was no bleeding. He called out with a hint of jealousy.
Xu Mingzhu wanted to speak, but the words turned into a series of coughs when they reached her lips. She felt so uncomfortable that her brows were tightly furrowed.
The fiancé's face was filled with worry, but he couldn't help much, so he turned around and asked, "Elder Tuoba, what's going on?"
Tuoba explained indifferently, "This is the first test faced by new disciples. The more blood you cough up, the higher your compatibility with spiritual power. People like you who don't even have a single drop of blood can only become outer disciples, or choose not to join the Baishou Sect and leave on their own."
"Leave on your own?" The face of the Tenth Princess's fiancé looked a little ugly. He thought that it was because of his good physical fitness, but he didn't expect that those who didn't cough up blood would be eliminated. The Great Xu Kingdom is so far away from here, how could he possibly walk back on his own two legs?
His family was already poor, and he only had a few ingots of silver on him. Although it was enough to go down the mountain and buy a carriage to go back, he had to pass through several small countries on the way, and there were too many uncertainties. If he encountered war or robbers, and had no guards to protect him, he would die outside and would not be able to go back.
However, Elder Tuoba was only responsible for picking them up but not dropping them off, so it was impossible for him to make a special trip just for people like them who had poor talents.
Besides, the Tenth Princess coughed up blood, so he would definitely stay. As the princess's fiancé, if he went back in disgrace, he would never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life. Even if he was just a menial disciple of the Baishou Sect, he would still stay. What if the test results were inaccurate?
This coughing up blood test method sounds too unreliable. Look at Yuan Zhan, the whole handkerchief is soaked with blood, and blood is dripping down. Yuan Zhan's face is frighteningly pale, making people worry that he will die from excessive blood loss in the next second.
Fortunately, Lan and Mo had stopped coughing, and the coughs of the new disciples also gradually subsided. Everyone was wondering why the entry test method was so strange, but they saw that the blood they had just coughed up slowly turned into a dirty dark red!
"Just now, I used the [Blood Turbidity Technique] to help you cleanse the impurities in your blood and bones. As long as people eat grains, impurities will be produced in their bodies. By coughing up blood, some of these impurities can be discharged..." Lan Yumo's eyes swept over Yuan Zhan, because among all people, Yuan Zhan coughed up the most blood, and through the resonance of the coughing sound, Lan Yumo discovered that there were countless murderous auras in Yuan Zhan's blood. It seemed that this newcomer was a rare golden jealous body. Tuoba Jinjin was really lucky to meet such a good face.
