Because Yingxun was closer to Zishu, the pressure on him was much less, so even though the two of them didn't speed up and climbed the Heavenly Ladder at a normal pace, their speed was still very fast.
As a result, she missed her chance with Ye Xiruo. When Ye Xiruo found out the reason, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It was so heartbreaking!
Senior Brother is the illegitimate son of Heaven, isn't he? Don't be fooled by the simple Heavenly Ladder climb; 95% of people will be eliminated, but this test is as easy as it gets for Senior Brother.
"Junior Sister, you've been beaten up. Why do you look so pale?"
Ye Xiruo: O__O "...Can't we have a proper conversation? What do you mean I got beaten up? I got beaten up? Senior Brother, how can you be so gloating?"
"I just encountered a group of people who wanted to ambush me, but I warned them and they've given up now."
"Damn it, how dare he attack you? Junior Sister is too merciful. This kind of person should be wiped out, wiped out, until his bones are completely destroyed."
"For many of them, their greatest wish is to be able to enter the Righteousness Pavilion to cultivate. If they can't get in, it's worse than death, okay?"
Ye Xiruo ate a few pills and drank some spiritual water.
"Senior brother, what exactly is going on ahead? Will this pressure ever end? If it doesn't, I might not be able to go very far."
"I reckon we're almost at the end, and then they'll switch to a different kind of test."
"This is only the first assessment, and they've already come up with so many tricks."
"Otherwise, how could it be called a top-tier sect? It only accepts elite disciples who are one in ten thousand."
"Junior Sister, you should rest for a bit." Who knows what the next test will be?
Alright, Ye Xiru sat down to allow the medicinal effects of the pill to dissipate, while Zishu and Yingxun stood guard for her.
This strange trio immediately attracted the attention of many people, not only those who climbed the ladder with them, but also the elders on the clouds.
Others didn't understand; it was like they'd seen a ghost. Were these three idiots?!
The pressure on the ladder to heaven is so great, it consumes physical strength and energy every moment. Instead of hurrying up when there is still a little strength left, I actually sat down to rest, not afraid that I would never wake up again after sitting down.
Strange people, strange people, there are always some every year, and this year I actually ran into one myself, and they were all together, three strange people.
The elders and sect leaders on the cloud were all shrewd and perceptive, so they immediately noticed the unusual behavior of Ye Xiruo and the other two.
With their cultivation levels, they could naturally see many extraordinary things. For example, Zishu was like a black hole in their eyes, with countless spiritual energies being absorbed from him. A vacuum zone was formed about a meter away from his body, and the pressure and gravity in this vacuum zone were almost negligible. This was why the three of them could leisurely rest on the Heavenly Ladder.
"Elder Jiang, can you tell what's going on with that kid?"
"It seems to be the legendary ethereal body, able to ignore any restrictions and limitations, absorbing spiritual energy from the air. It's an exceptional aptitude that allows one to ascend to immortality even after sleeping for hundreds of years." The tone revealed excitement and envy. Such an awesome, heaven-defying physique, it's a pity it belongs to someone else.
However, Elder Jiang's eyes lit up instantly. This ethereal being was right in front of him. If he could take this person under his wing, wow! The scene was simply too wonderful.
"An ethereal body, no wonder, no wonder..." The tone was equally sour.
"Those who seek to take shortcuts should be expelled from the sect."
"Elder Hao Ri, you can't say that. This little guy looks to be under twenty years old and can't control his ethereal body yet. Isn't that normal? Besides, the ethereal body is his bloodline talent. Unless he dies, it will be part of his strength. How can he not use it? How can it be considered opportunistic?"
"Elder Jiang is right. Luck and talent are both indispensable, and he happens to have both. If he fails the test, whether or not he should be admitted is still up for discussion. If he passes all the tests, what reason is there to let him leave?" The speaker was Elder Meng, who was the most powerful and the most indifferent and ruthless among all the elders.
Although Elder Haori was still somewhat unconvinced, he had no choice but to lower his head: "Elder Meng is right, I was too extreme."
At this moment, a very unpleasant thought flashed through Elder Jiang's mind: Could it be that Elder Meng has also taken a liking to this kid and wants to steal his disciple? No way, I've finally come across such a good prospect, I absolutely can't let him go, absolutely not.
We must defend it to the death and fight for it with all our might.
By now, Ye Xiruo had rested enough, and Ying Xun's complexion had improved a lot. They had fallen from the front to the middle, but with Zishu as their big weapon, catching up with them would be a piece of cake.
The three of them weren't worried at all, and walked forward together at a pace that was neither too fast nor too slow, full of a unique charm.
Half an hour later, there were not many people left in front of them, at most two or three hundred. Everyone's faces showed exhaustion, and they looked like they had been pulled out of the water, covered in sweat and pale.
Ye Xiruo's eyes lit up; a business opportunity had arrived.
"Fellow Daoists, good news! Rejuvenation Pill, Nourishing Essence Pill, Qi-Replenishing Pill, Spirit-Nourishing Pill, and Minor Rejuvenation Pill are on sale at discounted prices! Limited quantities available, first come, first served!"
Ye Xiruo thought to herself that there must be very few people like her who carried a large number of pills. Even if there were, they would have used them up by the time they arrived. So, these were truly life-saving pills for her.
Why hasn't anyone bought it yet? Is it because they suspect there's something wrong with her pills?
Ye Xiruo continued, "Do you want to know why I came up so easily and completely clean? It's all thanks to the pills I had. Don't you want to take this opportunity and soar straight to the sky?"
After being persuaded by Ye Xiruo, many people were indeed interested and came forward to inquire about the price of the pills.
As for the price, Ye Xiruo would naturally not be careless; it would be five times the normal price.
"Aren't you ripping people off? Why are you selling it at such a high price?"
"My pills are at least of the highest grade, and I also have many top-grade pills. The effects are naturally different. You will definitely not regret it. You will know whether the effects are good or not once you try them yourself."
Some nouveau riche paid directly with spirit crystals: "Give me a bottle of Qi-replenishing pills and a bottle of spirit-nourishing pills."
"Okay."
