Chapter 657: Promotion to Outer Sect Disciple

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

Listen to that—is that even human language?

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

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

Peak Master of Artifact Peak, Mu Yuan, nodded, raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, and a large bronze cauldron appeared in his hand.

"This Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron, I have personally helped you refine and strengthen it; this bronze cauldron is now a true Postnatal Supreme Treasure."

"As for the Black Jade Heaven-Mending Paste you mentioned, the Immortal Cloud Sect doesn't have it, but I will keep an eye out for you; if there is any news, I will tell you the first moment I know."

Looking at the brand-new Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron that had returned, Ye Lin's eyes were filled with joy.

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

After Mu Yuan's refinement, the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron received an epic-level boost; the heavy weight was somewhat strenuous to swing around, even for Ye Lin's current physical body.

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

He was likely also the first handyman disciple in the history of the Immortal Cloud Sect to possess a Postnatal 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 Postnatal Supreme Treasure, but what about the Innate Supreme Treasure?"

"Damn! 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, with a dark face, was about to strike, but upon seeing this, Ye Lin didn't say a word and used the Heavenly Dipper Void-Escaping Step to slip away immediately.

The mountains and rivers beneath his feet became extremely small in this moment, and a single step could carry him a hundred miles away.

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

So-called magic arrays are actually set up by borrowing the great 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 had vanished without a trace.

Jun Chuanxiong, who had previously looked like he was going to beat Ye Lin up, lowered his raised hand and gazed at the direction Ye Lin had left in with a complex look in his eyes.

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

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

"Rest assured, 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 targeting him?"

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

The business was finished, and the nursing home before them no longer had any reason to exist.

But for some reason, they were all 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 hurried back to the Immortal Cloud Sect.

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

If he wanted to go out for experience, 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 pass the assessment of the Disciple Management Center first.

Today, the Disciple Management Center was clearly quite lively.

At the center of the bustle was an elegantly poised woman in red; she possessed a natural, graceful beauty that made her unforgettable.

The bright red robe outlined her fiery figure, causing many male disciples to stare straight-eyed.

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

"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 likely have entered the inner sect even earlier than Xiao Qingming."

"The spirit puppet cannot 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 in the end, it could not 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 beside the disciple's ear.

"Hello, I'm here to take 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? A handyman disciple wanting to promote to outer sect must 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, taking the opportunity to place a top-grade Immortal Source Stone in front of the disciple; in the years at the nursing home, his ability to cultivate his temperament had clearly improved a lot.

"Oh, in that case, I'll say this first: if you get hurt or something later, you'll be responsible for 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, where a puppet stood blankly in the middle.

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 already 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; becoming an inner sect disciple not only meant an extraordinary status, but the cultivation resources she could obtain would also undergo a earth-shaking change.

"It's 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 a bit of an impression of Ye Lin.

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

"Is it my imagination?"

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

One must know that she was already 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 the Profound Opening Realm; there was still the Earth Fiend Realm and the Heavenly Dipper Realm between them, so how could the other party make her feel danger?

Curiosity also drove Gu Qianxue to stay; Ye Lin was clearly here to take the disciple assessment, and she wanted to see if the other party really had some mysterious means.

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

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

"I seem to remember this brat; his name is Ye Lin, the one who invented the crawling-ladder method back then."

"Didn't he offend the higher-ups of the Immortal Cloud Sect and get demoted to a handyman? He still dares to take the disciple assessment; isn't he afraid of drawing the dissatisfaction of big shots?"

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

He calmly reached out and twisted the puppet's head off, his movements as easy as picking a wildflower from the roadside.

"Hello, I've passed."
