However, there's no need to worry too much. As long as you can pass the inner sect's test, everything will be much easier.
At least as her direct disciple, she has some perks; looking after them shouldn't be a problem. Besides, Hua Rong, Bai Qi, and Qing Zhiyi are already quite talented and have solid foundations. After receiving cultivation from the Haoqi Pavilion, their strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. When the assessment comes every six months, it's only a matter of time before they are noticed by some elder and given special training.
"I believe in you."
"I should have cultivated myself properly before."
"Hehe~~~" Now I realize I knew it all along.
"It's okay, it's not too late now."
Conditions on the Taiyan Continent are limited, and coupled with the pampering of their family elders, they lack a competitive spirit and are rather careless about cultivation. Now that they have entered a sect, where countless talented disciples are competing with them, Ye Xiruo believes that the three of them will cultivate diligently.
"Alright, we've been flying for more than three months, it's time for us to take a good rest."
What are the test questions? Ye Xiruo has no idea. She doesn't know whether she should participate or not; she trusts Master Xue wouldn't cheat her.
Otherwise, there won't be even half a cup of spirit wine left.
On the main peak of the Medicine King Branch of the Haoqi Pavilion, in a simple three-story pavilion, Xue Junhan and another young man who looked to be only in his twenties, with a calm and peaceful gaze, and dressed in a blue robe, sat facing each other with great respect.
On the ancient wooden table in front of them, two cups of fragrant tea exuded a delicate aroma, and the entire room felt refreshingly peaceful.
"Holy Master".
"You've finally waited for someone."
"Indeed, thank you for your guidance, Master."
"You two have a master-disciple relationship."
“She’s fine, and she doesn’t know anything yet. I will protect her until she truly grows up.”
"You can make your decision, but be careful of the people from Yue Ran Valley." In recent years, Hao Qi Pavilion and Yue Ran Valley have become increasingly irreconcilable enemies. The number of alchemists and disciples who have gone out has been increasing, and Yue Ran Valley is involved in all of these cases.
"Don't worry, she's not someone to be trifled with. She was able to kill a Mahayana cultivator by trickery back when she was still in the Nascent Soul stage."
"Oh?" Such immense spiritual power, with its high purity and condensation, coupled with the bloodline of a divine master, will surely lead to great achievements in the future.
Congratulations!
"It wasn't for nothing that I waited so long."
Xue Junhan took a sip of tea, and a smile appeared on his face.
"When will you bring her to meet me?"
"Thank you, Holy Master."
Xue Junhan finished his tea, took his leave, and said goodbye. The general election was in five days. Sending his little apprentice to participate in the election would surely make him famous throughout the world, but it would also attract a lot of danger. The group of madmen in Yue Ran Valley would eventually destroy Yue Ran Valley completely in their hands.
Alright, alright. We'll skip the first two rounds of testing. For the later tests, with fewer participants, we can simply block the messages.
Neither Xue Junhan nor Ye Xiruo expected that Shui Lian, the young lady of Water Snake Valley, would also come this time, and that she was there specifically to target Xue Junhan, determined to achieve her goal.
In Shui Lian's heart, she had already recognized Xue Junhan, or rather, the Holy Master, and believed that she was the most qualified person to be noticed by the Holy Master.
Meanwhile, after Xiu Qiyu and Ye Liusha were safely delivered to their destination and settled in, Uncle Ling rode his large white crane back to report.
Compared to the various thoughts and intentions on the Haoqi Pavilion's side, the swordsmen of the Tianjian Sect were much more composed and calm. Of course, their icy faces revealed no emotion whatsoever; they were all remarkably similar.
There was no scheming or backstabbing, and no one foolishly provoked others. Everyone fought with a burning desire to unleash their full strength during the selection process and defeat their opponents honorably.
Only those who enter the Heavenly Sword Sect are qualified to discuss other matters. If one cannot even enter a sect, then the current struggle is meaningless.
Compared to the Haoqi Pavilion, the rooms at the Tianjian Sect are very simple. It's just a bare hilltop with a few dozen sparsely built houses. Each person gets a room with a bed, a table, and nothing else.
This style also aligns well with the aesthetic preferences of this group of swordsmen.
This mountain is barren, filled with the crisscrossing energy of swords, and many people have already gone to study that sword intent.
Xiu Qiyu and Ye Liusha rested in the room, maintaining the same tacit understanding as Ye Xiruo.
Who knows if those sword intents will be the beginning of a test? Having cultivated to this point, almost everyone has their own sword intent and has determined the path they want to cultivate in the future. Studying other sword intents is not without its benefits, but those with weak wills will easily waver in their sword heart, and their sword cultivation will regress instead of increase.
Xiu Qiyu and Ye Liusha both possessed peak sixth-grade killing sword intent, and their sword hearts were unwavering and could not be shaken by anyone, but they still had little interest in studying those sword intents.
What kind of good thing could they possibly have access to with sword intent? Even if they were to study it, they should try to study the sword intent left behind by the brilliant predecessors of the Heavenly Sword Sect, rather than wasting time on these sword intents.
I spent three whole months cultivating on the ship without eating properly, taking only one top-grade fasting pill a month. My heart was filled with unease and a sense of instability. Now that I'm finally grounded and safe, I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't take a proper rest.
Three days later, the two of them finally woke up, all the fatigue from the journey gone, and their mental energy was better than ever before.
Their rooms were next to each other, and after waking up, they immediately sat down together.
"Eat something first, then go out and scout out the situation." As long as he hasn't been accepted into the Heavenly Sword Sect, he won't have peace of mind.
"Alright."
A table was laden with dishes such as beggar's chicken, braised pork trotters, beef stew with potatoes, osmanthus-flavored lotus root, sweet and sour pork, deep-fried small yellow croaker, eight-treasure duck, chicken stew with mushrooms, boiled sliced meat, and seafood porridge.
What about the spirit wine? It hasn't been opened yet. Let's wait until we officially join the Heavenly Sword Sect before we celebrate.
"It seems we should go to the vicinity of Haoqi Pavilion more often in the future, otherwise, where will we find so many delicious foods?"
"Perhaps before long, Little Yezi's Drunken Immortal Pavilion will be everywhere, opening up from near the Righteousness Pavilion to our Heavenly Sword Sect?"
"That's possible, but there's one problem that's hard to solve: manpower." These dishes were all created by Ye Xiruo herself, and their value is immeasurable. It won't be easy to train a chef and a spirit wine master who can stand alone in a short period of time.
"There's always a way out; maybe a solution will be found soon?"
