Chapter 238: Xing Li's Internship Period

"Have the cultivators from the other eight realms also entered the city?"

Sensing the power of these auras, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

These people must all be here for the Desolate Realm.

The Third Round Assessment is the final round of the Immortal Palace Assessment.

The best among the heaven's prides of the Nine Realms have all gathered in Desolate City for the most direct confrontation.

It is bound to spark the most intense clashes.

However, he is not on the same track as these people; venturing into the Desolate Realm is not suitable for a technical worker like him.

He glanced at the entrance to the Desolate Realm and turned to leave.

Time is like water, flowing on without cease.

In the blink of an eye, a year slipped by unnoticed.

During this year.

The ordinary examinees within Desolate City all exerted their full strength, launching an assault on the Desolate Ranking.

Outstanding individuals emerged from the many examinees and successfully ascended the Desolate Ranking.

Even more monstrous talents hung high at the forefront of the Desolate Ranking, becoming existences that many cultivators envied and looked up to.

Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li did not head to the Desolate Realm to kill Desolate Beasts.

They stayed in Wang Jianqiang's residence the entire time, focusing all their energy on cultivation.

With enough Soul Jade to support them, they could fully raise their strength to the limit in the shortest possible time.

Although a year was delayed.

But sharpening the axe does not delay the woodcutting.

Only after possessing greater strength will it be safer to enter the Desolate Realm, and they will be able to kill Desolate Beasts and obtain Desolate Qi more efficiently.

As for Wang Jianqiang and Yun Xin.

Both are Pill Dao Specialty Cultivators.

And since Wang Jianqiang had exchanged for a large amount of Medicinal Herbs in the second round of the assessment, there was even less need to rush into the Desolate Realm when neither Pill Formulas nor Medicinal Herbs were lacking.

This past year.

Wang Jianqiang's time was quite fulfilling.

He would occasionally practice Alchemy, refine Soul Jade to cultivate, and from time to time spar and compete with Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, and Su Yutong.

Yun Xin was a bit bashful at first.

But after some adaptation, she slowly got used to it.

Xing Li, however, still had not made the slightest progress.

It was just that after Wang Jianqiang proposed the condition that they could only trade once a month, she gradually became restless.

Because of the sufficient supply of Soul Jade.

Now, the Soul Power of Su Yutong and Wang Yu Yao had already surpassed hers, with a total Soul Power approaching three times that of an ordinary Golden Core Stage Perfection cultivator.

As for Mu Lingxi, the improvement was even more exaggerated.

Her Soul Power was stronger than the sum of Su Yutong's and Wang Yu Yao's.

Generally speaking, the limit for a Golden Core Stage Perfection cultivator to bear Soul Power is three times their base, and very few can reach four times.

Yet for some reason, Mu Lingxi had completely transcended this common sense.

Her Soul Power had already exceeded six times that of an ordinary Golden Core Perfection cultivator, and it still had not reached its limit.

However, Mu Lingxi was already stronger than her to begin with.

It was nothing to be a bit stronger.

But the fact that Wang Yu Yao and Su Yutong, who were originally much weaker than her, had surpassed her was something she found hard to accept.

After some struggle, she finally made up her mind.

"Everything is for the sake of cultivation."

Xing Li gritted her teeth, and with a face full of determination, she sought out Wang Jianqiang.

"You want to trade?"

Hearing Xing Li's words, Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Fairy, didn't I, Wang, already say before? We can only trade once a month."

Xing Li was silent for a moment, then said, "Xing Li wants to change the content of the trade."

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred.

Under Wang Jianqiang's gaze, Xing Li hesitated for a moment, and Spirit Light flashed on her body.

All her clothing was instantly put away.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, and he looked her over.

That unscrupulous gaze made Xing Li feel overwhelmed, and her pretty face turned rosy.

She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Xing Li wants to be like Lingxi Fairy and the others."

"Oh?"

Wang Jianqiang secretly checked the pitiful 20 points of Good and Evil Value on Xing Li's Attribute Panel, and on the surface, he looked at her calmly, "It is not easy to be like Lingxi and the others."

Xing Li's expression stirred.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and continued, "Lingxi and the others are from the same sect as I, Wang, and already have deep feelings; plus the various experiences that followed, our bond is even deeper."

"It is not something that Xingli Xianzi can compare to just like this."

Upon hearing this, Xing Li bit her red lips, "What must Xing Li do to gain Daoist Friend Wang's trust?"

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment, "I, Wang, told you before, I like people with strong ambition the most."

"Since Fairy Xingli is working so hard, then I, Wang, shall give you a chance."

As he spoke, Wang Jianqiang extended his middle finger.

"One year, I, Wang, can give Fairy Xingli one year of time as an Internship Period."

"As long as Fairy Xingli's performance during the Internship Period can satisfy me, I, Wang, will let you have the same treatment as Lingxi and the others."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xing Li's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly.

Immediately after, a trace of hesitation flashed across her face, "Then, as for the resources during the Internship Period...?"

"Ten Soul Jades."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Upon hearing this, Xing Li's expression changed, and she couldn't help but say, "Before, just a hug was ten, so how come now, it's still only ten?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang continued, "Unlimited times."

Hearing these words, Xing Li's gaze flickered.

Although the amount each time was a bit small, fortunately, there was no limit to the number of times.

She could just make up for it with quantity.

Thinking of this, her nervous expression immediately relaxed, and she did not continue to dwell on this topic.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang revealed a genial smile and slowly leaned toward her.

"Now I announce..."

"The Internship Period officially begins."
