Chapter 657: Promoting to Outer Sect Disciple

The nine peak masters stood frozen in place, perfectly synchronized.

Listen, is that even human language?

Carrying a hundred or eighty Innate Supreme Treasures for self-defense? Does he think Innate Supreme Treasures are Chinese cabbage?

"Mu Yuan, give him the things, then tell this brat to get lost quickly. I get annoyed just looking at him!" Jun Chuanxiong, the peak master of Martial Peak, said with a dark face.

Mu Yuan, the peak master of Artifact Peak, nodded. He raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, and a large bronze cauldron appeared in his grasp.

"This Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron has been personally refined and strengthened by me. This bronze cauldron is now a true Acquired Supreme Treasure."

"As for the Black Jade Heaven-Mending Ointment you mentioned, the Immortal Cloud Sect doesn't have it. I will keep an eye out for you, and if there is any news, I will inform you immediately."

Looking at the newly returned Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron, Ye Lin's eyes were filled with joy.

This thing was a genuine national treasure. After his ascension, because its grade couldn't keep up, he hadn't used it for a long time.

After being refined by Mu Yuan, the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron received an epic-level enhancement. The heavy weight was somewhat strenuous even for Ye Lin to swing around with his current physical body.

It could be said that Mu Yuan had done Ye Lin a huge favor.

He should also be the first handyman disciple in the history of the Immortal Cloud Sect to possess an Acquired Supreme Treasure.

But Ye Lin was the type to forget his roots; after happily accepting the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron, he looked at Mu Yuan with eager eyes and continued to ask.

"I have the Acquired Supreme Treasure, but what about the Innate Supreme Treasure?"

"Damn it! No, I must beat this brat up today to vent my anger. If I don't beat him now, I won't be able to beat him later!"

Jun Chuanxiong's face darkened as he prepared to strike. Seeing this, Ye Lin didn't say a word and immediately activated the Heavenly Dipper Void-Escaping Step to slip away.

The mountains and rivers beneath his feet became extremely minuscule at this moment; one step could cover a hundred miles.

This was something he had learned from Zheng Tongfei, the peak master of Momentum Peak. The full name of Momentum Peak should actually be Borrowing Momentum Peak.

The so-called arrays are actually laid out by borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth. The stronger the borrowed momentum, the stronger the array.

The Heavenly Dipper Void-Escaping Step is a divine ability performed by borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth. Its effect is similar to shrinking the earth into an inch, and it works even better when paired with the Dance of the Instant.

In just a few breaths, Ye Lin disappeared without a trace.

Jun Chuanxiong, who had originally looked like he was going to beat Ye Lin up, lowered his raised hand, his gaze looking somewhat complexly in the direction Ye Lin had left.

"This brat, he actually just left like that. Could I really have hit him?"

"Sigh, I don't know if he will be bullied when he goes out to train."

"Don't worry, he has learned all our skills, so he shouldn't be. Besides, we all gave him trump cards for self-preservation."

"That's true. Sigh, we really don't have anything left to teach him. Should we really give him an Innate Supreme Treasure?"

"That's enough out of you! He is only at the Great Perfection of the Profound Opening Realm. If you give him an Innate Supreme Treasure, are you afraid there aren't enough people eyeing him?"

The nine peak masters looked at the nursing home before them.

The business was finished, and there was no need for the nursing home to exist anymore.

But for some reason, they were all somewhat reluctant to tear it down.

After thinking about it, they left the nursing home standing and returned to their respective main peaks.

As peak masters, the things they had to deal with every day were not few at all.

On the other side, Ye Lin rushed back to the Immortal Cloud Sect.

He was still a handyman disciple, and handyman disciples were not qualified to go out for training; they could only take on some trivial tasks, such as delivering warmth to the nursing home.

If he wanted to go out for training, he had to first become an outer sect disciple.

Immortal Cloud Sect, Heart Peak, Disciple Management Center.

The files of all disciples in the entire sect were here. Handyman disciples wanting to promote to outer sect disciples, and outer sect disciples wanting to promote to inner sect disciples, all needed to first pass the assessment of the Disciple Management Center.

The Disciple Management Center was clearly quite lively today.

At the center of the bustle was an elegant woman in red. She possessed a generous and graceful beauty that made one unforgettable.

The bright red robe outlined her explosive figure, which made many male disciples stare straight-eyed.

"Gu Qianxue's strength is improving too fast. In just over two years since entering the sect, she has broken through from the Great Perfection of the Earth Fiend Realm to the early stage of the Five Elements Realm. It seems that this time, she will definitely be able to promote to an inner sect disciple!"

"Her talent is top-tier, a Heaven-grade mid-tier mutated Frost Snow Spirit Root. If it weren't for her mortal body, she would probably have entered the inner sect earlier than Xiao Qingming."

"The spirit puppet can't stop Gu Qianxue; she is going to promote to an inner sect disciple!"

At this moment, Gu Qianxue was fighting a puppet. That puppet had the strength of the mid-stage Five Elements Realm, but it was ultimately unable to stop Gu Qianxue.

Under her attacks, the array patterns and joints on the puppet's body were frozen, and its movements became sluggish.

Even the disciple in charge of the assessment was watching Gu Qianxue with full attention.

Just then, a discordant voice rang out in the disciple's ear.

"Hello, I'm here to participate in the assessment. I want to promote to an outer sect disciple," Ye Lin said very amiably.

"Promote to outer sect?" The disciple looked up at Ye Lin and said impatiently, "What are you, a Profound Opening Realm, joining in the fun for? For a handyman disciple to promote to outer sect, they have to defeat a mid-stage Earth Fiend spirit puppet. You can't beat it, go back and practice more."

"I am a body cultivator," Ye Lin replied politely, while placing a top-grade Immortal Source Stone in front of the disciple. In the few years at the nursing home, his ability to cultivate his temperament had clearly improved a lot.

"Oh, I see. Then let me say this first: if you get injured or something later, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Seeing the Immortal Source Stone, the disciple didn't say a word and opened another training ground next to Gu Qianxue's. In the middle of the training ground, a puppet stood blankly.

As the training ground opened, the patterns on the puppet's body lit up, and the aura of the mid-stage Earth Fiend Realm spread to the surroundings.

At this time, Gu Qianxue had successfully defeated the spirit puppet, which meant that from today on, she was a true inner sect disciple.

Gu Qianxue couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face. Becoming an inner sect disciple not only meant an extraordinary status, but the cultivation resources she could obtain would also undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Is it him?"

At this moment, Gu Qianxue also noticed Ye Lin.

As someone who passed the assessment and entered the Immortal Cloud Sect in the same batch, she naturally had some impression of Ye Lin.

After all, no matter who saw a twisted ball of flesh and blood wriggling past them, they would more or less be left with a little psychological trauma.

"Is it my imagination?"

Gu Qianxue couldn't help but mutter to herself. She didn't know why, but she felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from Ye Lin.

One had to know that she was currently at the early stage of the Five Elements Realm, the third of the Five Tribulations of the Dao.

Ye Lin was only at the Great Perfection of Profound Connection; there was still the Earth Fiend Realm and the Heaven Origin Realm between them. How could the other party possibly make her feel threatened?

Curiosity also drove Gu Qianxue to stay. Ye Lin was clearly here to participate in the disciple assessment, and she wanted to see if he truly had any mysterious methods.

Seeing the direction of Gu Qianxue's gaze, many disciples who had come to watch the excitement couldn't help but follow her eyes.

"A menial disciple promoting to the outer sect? What's there to see? What is Gu Qianxue looking at?"

"I seem to remember this kid. His name is Ye Lin, the one who invented the 'Crawling Ladder Method' back then."

"Didn't he offend the high-level officials of the Immortal Cloud Sect and get demoted to a menial disciple? He still dares to participate in the disciple assessment? Isn't he afraid of drawing the dissatisfaction of big shots?"

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Lin walked straight toward the Earth Fiend mid-stage spirit puppet, the blood and Qi of his Hundred Tribulations Imperial Body roaring.

He calmly reached out his hand and twisted the spirit puppet's head off, his movements as relaxed as picking a wildflower by the roadside.

"Hello, I've passed."
