Chapter 692: Assessment (6600 Plus)

"Hold on... we must join the immortal sect!"

On the stone path before the mountain gate, Wenying and the young hunter supported each other, stumbling forward with great difficulty.

White steam rose continuously from their hair, and large drops of sweat flowed down from the tips of their hair...

Fortunately, this layer of illusion Array Formation did not test Dharma Power cultivation, but only one's state of mind and willpower.

Otherwise, these two mortals would likely have been eliminated long ago.

"Wenying... I... I can't go on."

The young hunter did not know what he saw; he lay on the ground panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot: "Don't worry about me... quickly... climb the mountain!"

"What Master? The foundation of this Yaowang Mountain... was originally all my Li Family's!" Li Jianjie paced back and forth, clearly furious to the extreme and needing to vent: "If it weren't for our Ancestor Qingjing gifting the Spirit Mountain and resources back then... how could the Yaowang Sect have its current prosperity? But that old fellow, once he had power in his hands, kicked us family cultivators aside... and this time he even forcibly accepted the remnants of the Dong Family into the sect, chilling the hearts of us family cultivators!"

Huzi was as if struck by a bolt from the blue, standing there foolishly in a daze.

What exactly was Master's intention in doing this?

Could it be... that he was finally fed up with the cultivators of the family faction?

Huzi took a step back, his face full of disbelief: "Fine... you can become an immortal, so you look down on me now, right?"

Li Yuanfeng's expression was deathly pale, and he argued stubbornly: "This, this is a Magic Tool the junior carries with him... the junior forgot about this for a moment, I beg you to test me once more..."

"This junior is first, please make your move, Senior!"

Aaron smiled at the corners of his mouth.

A hint of a smile appeared on Bai Caiwei's face; she was very fond of this little sister: "From today on, you are a person of the Yaowang Sect. As for this... companion of yours, he can also be arranged to stay at the foot of the mountain to do some mortal chores..."

Just at this moment, a large hand pressed onto Li Yuanfeng's shoulder; it was Li Jianjie: "I see that Yuanfeng was only acting unintentionally... and for Senior Sister to strike with such a heavy hand is, I fear, too heartless!"

"Isn't that a bit too severe?" Shen Le frowned.

In the midst of their words, the status of a Yaowang Sect Disciple was already as easy as reaching into a bag to take an object.

"That is exactly so; traveling more often might help with breaking through to Golden Core... After all, you are not young anymore."

Bai Caiwei gave a cold snort: "A person who engages in fraud—my Yaowang Sect does not want such a Disciple. You may leave..."

Taking this opportunity, Li Jianjie colluded with Shen Le to scramble for power and profit, causing the Yaowang Sect to gradually become foul with Miasma. Lin Ye was unable to support the situation alone and felt helpless...

"It should be so!" Li Jianjie did not yield an inch; even though Bai Caiwei was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, she could not defy the general trend!

In the entire Yaowang Sect, there was only one person who could ignore the rules!

This was the first time Dong Wenying had seen this figure who looked as if they had walked out of a painting. She was stunned for a moment, and only then did she react, hurriedly kneeling on the ground and kowtowing with force.

After a roar like a dragon and an elephant, Xiaoqing crawled out lazily, its body having become even more massive.

This was the life philosophy he had summarized over his long life—it is rare to be muddled!

This tug, however, did not move him!

At this time, the proficiency of his Mingyu Art was already quite considerable.

The Demonic Dao was even bloodier; the disciples of those old demons were often just spare blood bags and materials for Magic Tools...

"Little sister, don't be afraid, come over here!"

Aaron beckoned, and a crimson Talisman arrived in his palm, pointing at the little girl in the mirror, which was slightly emitting Light and heat.

"To be practical, our Far West region is far inferior to Great Gan in terms of resources, Spirit Qi, and heritage... If one wants to reach Golden Core, one must still go to Great Gan to try one's luck."

Just as he wanted to protest, he was grabbed by Aaron and thrown into Dong Wenying's arms.

After all, even righteous sects have kept disciples with excellent aptitude as spare Cauldrons for possession...

Even with the addition of Dong Wenying as a stimulant, her growth would still require time.

Bai Caiwei glanced at Shen Le and stated the result indifferently.

Bai Caiwei's eyes were red; she received the two bestowed items, performed a deep bow, and then transformed into a streak of white Light and departed.

Dong Wenying was bewildered.

Seeing his elder present, the Li Family youth felt his courage grow a bit. He first bowed to Bai Caiwei, then bowed to Li Jianjie: "Greetings, Ancestor!"

"I naturally support Senior Brother Li!"

"Brother Huzi, I cannot leave!"

"You have already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage? Not bad, not bad..."

"It makes me, the Ancestor, want to say that this child is terrifyingly gifted and must not be left alive!"

But Aaron was only Bai Caiwei's Master, not her biological father!

Naturally, he would not take such a risk for a single disciple and drag down his own cultivation speed!

"Why?"

Every time she encountered a bottleneck, her Master could solve the problem with a wave of his hand, as if he had polished himself in this realm for countless years.

At this moment, she was being led by the hand by Bai Caiwei, walking step by step past the mountain gate to the Spirit Peak at the back of the mountain.

But suddenly, the matter was settled!

This made her little head unable to comprehend it.

"Inside this Jade Slip are my insights on reaching Golden Core..."

Seeing this, Bai Caiwei's expression remained unchanged; she raised her hand and struck a beam of Dharma Power onto Li Yuanfeng: "Sixteen years old, Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivation..."

Xiaoqing glanced at Bai Caiwei and Dong Wenying, calmly accepted the offering, its body size suddenly shrinking several times, and it burrowed into Aaron's Cave Abode.

In Great Gan, the death of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is not even considered an event!

"And although Shen Le has cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he is too old and has little hope of breaking through to Golden Core..."

"How lively... I almost thought I was going to shout 'do not bully the young because they are poor'!"

After all, the Li Family is not of the Demonic Dao; they must still maintain some semblance of decorum.

Yet, they never expected to be discovered by this Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator surnamed Bai, whose eyes were as bright as torches!

"Hmph... according to sect rules, any cheating will result in immediate expulsion!"

Li Yuanfeng's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver.

"You actually have a Spirit Root?"

"Hmph! Can you immortals just bully people? Little sister, let's go!"

And until this moment, the portly youth who had previously been fawning over the Li Family and Shen Family, and who had looked at the mountain folk and hunters with disdain, had still not appeared... clearly, he had been eliminated in the first round.

"Hmph... so they are descendants of those Sinful People!"

And... pardoned the mortal Sinful People near the sect?

At this time, they were already one hundred thirty or forty years old, having already passed more than half of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's lifespan...

Therefore, when he was in charge of general affairs, he secretly formulated a policy to exclude the mortal bloodlines nearby, carefully investigating the origins of disciples, and never allowing the remnants of the original Qingding Sect to enter the sect!

Aaron looked at Bai Caiwei, feeling somewhat emotional.

He saw the latter part, and his tone became stuttering again.

Just at this moment, Li Jianjie was flipping through the roster of new disciples and suddenly spoke: "Dong Wenying... your surname is Dong? You come from the 'Dong Family Village' in Dong Family Hollow?"

This was thanks to the abundant Spirit Qi of the Yaowang Mountain Spirit Vein.

"If this continues... this Yaowang Sect will be controlled by that master-disciple faction; where will that leave us then?"

"Seventeen years old, Qi Refining Sixth Layer... Three Spirit Roots... Qualified!"

If he were truly determined to fund this disciple's Golden Core, he actually had many ways to do so.

Dong Wenying felt dazzled along the way; what she saw and heard this day was simply richer than everything she had seen in her life before.

And if one wanted to wait for him to die of old age...

It must be said that after Aaron became her Master, he provided constant guidance and occasionally bestowed pills... he had already fulfilled the duties of a Master.

Among the crowd of rejected candidates, someone chuckled: "A mere mortal, wanting to cultivate immortality? Keep dreaming!"

Aaron had just opened a Spirit Mirror and was secretly engaging in the act of peeping.

Her expression softened slightly, and she raised her hand to cast a strand of Dharma Power.

"Don't be afraid, this is the Spirit Beast kept by Master; the sect members call it 'Spirit Venerable'..."

Bai Caiwei kept a cold face, acting strictly according to business.

And when the Li Family occupied the Qingding Sect, they uprooted the cultivators and those with Spirit Roots, but it was not easy to take action against those mortals.

"This mountain has countless Forbidden Techniques and Array Formations; it is the most important place in our sect."

At the same time, Dong Wenying successfully reached Foundation Establishment and joined forces with Lin Ye to suppress Shen Le, greatly strengthening the power of the master-disciple faction.

Li Jianjie entered the Cave Abode, raised his hand to seal the Array Formation, and then cursed: "The old man can no longer be trusted!!"

Even though he was already nine hundred years old, his face remained like jade, and his youth was like that of a young man.

Just as the situation was tense, the firelight of a Transmission Talisman flashed.

Although Dong Wenying did not understand grand principles, she had a keen intuition, feeling that as long as she left this immortal sister in white, she would be surrounded by jackals that would swallow her whole, skin and bones!

"You..."

"Thank you, Master."

"These two should have left at the foot of the mountain..."

But it was known in the streets that 'Fang Laozu' had exceptionally good aptitude for cultivating immortality, breaking through realms in just a few decades, and finally forming a Golden Core!

Bai Caiwei could only attribute it to her Master's extraordinary talent and astonishing comprehension.

"If I had really used heavy force, this person might not be able to stand anymore... to not even be able to withstand a trace of my pressure, he must be a fat pig raised on large amounts of pills..." Bai Caiwei didn't even lift her eyelids: "Next!"

"Sigh... eighty years have passed... there is no news of Bai Caiwei who went to travel in Great Gan; she is likely dead..."

One of the items was a Jade Slip, and the other was a well-sealed Black Jade Bottle.

Not long after, Aaron, dressed in a white robe, walked out of the Cave Abode.

When several Foundation Establishment cultivators faced off, those ordinary Yaowang Sect disciples could only look at their noses and hearts... pretending they didn't see anything.

Yaowang Sect, Hou Shan.

Bai Caiwei's expression was cold and stern, playing with an Asura White Jade Blade in her hand: "Junior Brother Li insists on this?"

Ten years of human affairs bring many changes!

In these eighty years, the biggest event was that Li Jianjie exhausted his lifespan and passed away... although he had prepared much before his death, his successor needed time to build prestige, leading to a great decline in the power of the Family Faction.

"Don't worry, I'll go first later!"

Not to mention anything else, those three—Li, Shen, and Lin—had average cultivation aptitude, and their Spirit Roots and techniques were not compatible with his own, so he couldn't provide much guidance, leading to slow cultivation; they were still lingering in the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, and they were even older than Bai Caiwei!

Without a doubt, if they did not encounter a heaven-defying opportunity next, they would inevitably be sent away by Aaron one by one.

"Eh?"

"Alas... that's all there is to it."

Before the sect, the four disciples parted on bad terms.

Bai Caiwei kindly introduced to Dong Wenying: "Above the mountainside is our sect's Spirit Medicine Garden, where there are countless spirit flowers and exotic herbs... and there are Spirit Herbs personally transplanted by Master; only the Spirit Venerable can enter and exit freely..."

It is just unknown why Master insists on staying in the Extreme West.

She did not know that her Master's aptitude for cultivating immortality was actually much worse than her own... Aaron was not as others thought, having cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core Early Stage early on and then being trapped by a bottleneck for many years, but rather, he had only just managed to complete the cultivation of the Golden Core Early Stage technique...

"Rare to see Senior Sister like this... it seems I will soon have a niece-in-disciple." Lin Ye laughed, watching Bai Caiwei lead Wenying to complete the procedures of inquiring about her origins and background.

"It's been over a hundred years... Even the fastest-living mortals have gone through seven or eight generations... Who still remembers what happened a century ago?"

Yet even as the Senior Sister of the Yaowang Sect, Bai Caiwei still felt deep awe when facing her unfathomable Master.

"As everyone knows... the foundation of our Yaowang Sect was seized from the Qingding Sect!" Li Jianjie said coldly. "Back then, the cultivators of the Qingding Sect were hunted down to the last, but their mortal Bloodline descendants lived nearby... My intention was to cut the weeds and dig up the roots, but the Sect Master was merciful and spared their lives... But even so, these Sinful People should be grateful just to be alive; they still want to cultivate immortality?"

Besides this, there was the progress of Aaron's alchemy, as well as the fact that he had seized a large amount of cultivation resources from the exterminated families and the Qingding Sect, allowing him to refine a batch of Third-tier Spirit Pills.

"And what's even more worrying is this girl, Bai Caiwei... Our cultivation techniques are different from that old fellow's, so we cannot receive much guidance. But Bai Caiwei is just like him, practicing the 'Mingyu Art'. With the old fellow teaching her hand-in-hand, how much effort has that saved her? She's already at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, while we are only at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage... The old fellow is already starting to show favoritism; once Bai Caiwei reaches the Golden Core, she will inevitably be named the next Sect Master! When that time comes, will there still be a place for us in the sect?"

After Bai Caiwei left the sect, the upward momentum of the Master-Disciple faction immediately slowed down.

"This Disciple had this thought before, but I have never been able to meet Master to bid farewell..."

"Roar!"

Thinking this way, the guilt in their hearts immediately lessened by quite a bit.

In the Peach Blossom Forest, there was also a huge Spirit Pool.

"What?"

Aaron thought for a moment, took out a brand-new Transmission Talisman, spoke a few words into it, and tossed it away.

She only knew that the fierce-looking bad person from before wouldn't let her enter the sect, and even the fairy-like sister in white clothes had no way to help.

Watching the backs of the person and the turtle as they left, Bai Caiwei suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Does Master mean... it is time for a long journey?"

'By the standards of an ordinary master in the Far West, I have already done quite well...'

And in this small, broken place of the Far West Countries, there are basically no spiritual items that can assist a Golden Core early-stage cultivator in breaking through a bottleneck...

Strictly speaking, among the four previous Disciples, only she had received Aaron's true inheritance.

【Age: 900】

For those who were bound to die, Aaron was still quite tolerant, and he simply acted as if he didn't see many of their little tricks...

Bai Caiwei checked as usual, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Fourteen years old, no cultivation, Water-Fire Dual Spirit Root... Pass!"

Taking the other party in as a Yaowang Sect Disciple is the best method—because the sect rules do not allow fellow disciples to kill each other!

"Hehe... Very well, Senior Sister Bai... Do you really want to go against us?"

"Among these five disciples of mine, except for the youngest one... is it possible that none of them can reach the Golden Core?"

Aaron gave a wry smile.

Bai Caiwei was startled, then honestly shook her head: "This Disciple does not know..."

"Ah!"

Aaron looked at Bai Caiwei, feeling her solid and thick Dharma Power, and couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction: "Cultivators in the Far West reach this step and should consider the matter of reaching the Golden Core. Disciple, how do you intend to prepare?"

"Alright..."

Frost appeared on Bai Caiwei's face.

Before the sect.

Especially in the treacherous Immortal Cultivation World, it is even more rare!

Thick fog dispersed, sealing the mountain gate once again.

Aaron also discovered this point, but as long as the flames of war did not burn to him, and did not disturb his cultivation and the Spirit Medicine Garden, he would ignore everything. Only when things became truly unmanageable would he come out to act as a patch-up artist.

Bai Caiwei, however, suddenly had cold eyes. A flash of spiritual light flickered, and a Bronze Mirror fell from Li Yuanfeng's bosom to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Shen Le was startled, and only after seeing that the defensive Array Formation outside the Cave Abode was operating as usual did he let out a long sigh of relief.

With Master's peerless bearing, if he went to the Great Gan, he would surely be like a dragon entering the sea. Perhaps he would have broken through his minor realm long ago and wouldn't have been stuck at the Golden Core early-stage all this time.

However, he also knew that this was a real Immortal Cultivation World.

"And accept Dong Wenying as a Personal Disciple! Hold the ceremony on an auspicious day!" Lin Ye read out tremblingly, only to see the extremely ugly expressions on the faces of Li Jianjie and Shen Le...

Pointed at by everyone, Wenying clutched her hem tightly in fear.

A few days later, Aaron summoned his sect members and disciples to formally accept Dong Wenying as a Personal Disciple.

Bai Caiwei said coldly: "Junior Brother is being overly sophistical!"

Bai Caiwei glanced at the sundial and waved her hand, casting a streak of Dharma Power.

To betray the other party, she always felt it was not quite right.

Bai Caiwei held Dong Wenying's small hand, slowly walking up the steps while carefully thinking about today's events.

Shen Qiping's Adam's apple moved, and he stepped forward to salute: "Junior Shen... Shen Qiping... asks for Senior's help!"

This technique can only modify one's figure within a certain range; compared to the Legendary 'Dharma Heaven and Earth', it is naturally far inferior, offering only some convenience in daily life.

He felt it; he had fallen into a bottleneck again.

"... Yes!"

Without a Spirit Root, one cannot cultivate immortality! This is an iron rule!

If one cannot cultivate immortality, one will be a mortal for life!

Aaron said a plain truth.

Aaron stroked the Jade Slip and sighed: "And in the bottle is a Spirit Pill, named 'Du'e', which can ensure a cultivator does not die if they fail to reach the Golden Core... But if one falls a major realm, there is still the danger of exhausting one's lifespan..."

And because Aaron disliked the Ten Thousand Year Turtle's body for being too cumbersome, the first thing he let Xiaoqing learn was the 'Shrinking Technique'.

Although he might not necessarily fail if he took the assessment seriously, the children of noble families were used to comfort and he was somewhat worried about his own state of mind.

Aaron was also clear about the little schemes in their hearts, but he didn't care.

Huzi patted Wenying's hand to show comfort.

"Fortunately, I don't need it either; I'll just grind it out slowly with time!"

"Do you take the Yaowang Sect's examination for child's play? To reopen it specifically for you?" Bai Caiwei sneered, and a terrifying pressure descended upon Li Yuanfeng, causing his expression to turn pale as he retreated repeatedly.

Later on, when the Yaowang Sect took power, they cared even less about this.

"To think it is a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator?"

"With the assistance of a Spirit Pill for cultivation... the cultivation art reached perfection fifty years earlier than expected."

Bai Caiwei bowed first, then gestured to Dong Wenying: "Why haven't you kowtowed to your Master yet?"

When Dong Wenying first stepped into the range of the Yaowang Sect's Array Formation, he had already discovered it, but he did not make a move, instead silently observing from behind the screen.

This Magic Tool was personally handed to him by his mother at home, to be used just in case.

Heh... even if dozens or hundreds of generations of Family Cultivators threw themselves into the breach one after another, it might not even be enough!

"Indeed..."

"These hundred years of bitter cultivation have finally brought the fourteenth layer of the cultivation art to perfection..."

Although this woman was young when she reached Foundation Establishment, she was already over thirty, and another hundred years had passed since she took him as her Master.

Dong Wenying was somewhat afraid, but she still answered out loud.

Aaron smiled gently, waved his hand to cast a strand of Dharma Power, and helped Dong Wenying up: "From today on, you are the fifth Disciple under my seat. You have encountered many changes today, I fear you are already tired... Xiaoqing, take her down to rest."

"Isn't it said that the possibility of a person with a Spirit Root appearing among mortals is one in ten thousand?"

Even so, many were still eliminated, leaving those who had passed the first layer of the test feeling dejected and heartbroken...

The colorful Forbidden Technique immediately revealed a hole large enough for two people to pass through: "You are truly lucky... Master has been in seclusion for over ten years, and this time upon exiting, he noticed you..."

He let go of the hand he was holding Dong Wenying with and ran down the mountain without looking back; the pale green youth felt his heart ache, as if the whole world had betrayed him...

"Line up one by one, I will personally test your aptitude and Bone Age!"

"The time has arrived!"

Li Jianjie's face was as dark as water as he looked at Shen Le: "What does Junior Brother Shen say?"

But looking at the distraught Huzi, she still bravely walked toward that immortal sister in white.

And Bai Caiwei was somewhat puzzled.

"Faking cultivation level, damage to the dantian and meridians... Eliminated!!"

Huzi came back to his senses, shouted angrily, and grabbed Wenying's hand, wanting to pull her away.

Shen Le was somewhat hesitant.

This was the Dong family's Bloodline Talisman, which he had been secretly producing and storing.

Aaron thought for a moment, patted his Storage Bag, and took out two items.

Watching the people on the plaza become fewer and fewer, Wenying could not help but grab Huzi's sleeve.

"Yes... even if Senior Sister eliminated my Li Family disciples before, I didn't say anything... but this matter concerns the future safety of my Li Family, please forgive Junior Brother for absolutely not agreeing!"

"Four Spirit Root... Eliminated!"

Before the final deadline, the mountain girl supported Huzi, and the two of them almost crawled up the last step, lying on the ground panting without any regard for their image...

Therefore, she decided to protect the other party.

"Bone Age over eighteen... Eliminated!!"

【Realm: Golden Core Early Stage】

Bai Caiwei revealed a girlish, naive, and admiring expression; such an expression was already very rare on the face of the great cultivator Bai.

"It just dirties our eyes..."

However, for Li Jianjie, most of the mortals near the sect flowed with sinful blood, and it must never be allowed for them to cultivate, lest they seek revenge on the Li Family after their cultivation levels become high in the future!

Li Jianjie's eyes showed undisguised disgust: "This girl cannot be admitted!"

Li Jianjie's tone was stern; the conflict between the Family Faction and the Master-Disciple Faction within the Yaowang Sect seemed ready to erupt completely today!

Although they had already been rejected, seeing people who were even more miserable than them seemed to provide a little comfort.

【Talent: Immortality】

Inside the Cave Abode with the most abundant Spirit Qi.

"Next..."

"Only sixteen years old?"

But within the Array Formation, having been able to give Huzi a hand, what should be done now?

Sometimes, what tears apart the intimate relationship between people is not necessarily resistance from others, but a colder reality...

Bai Caiwei glanced at the three Junior Brothers beside her and came to stand still in the plaza.

"Greetings, Master!"

The Shen Family had a part in the destruction of the Qingding Sect back then, so Shen Le naturally would not object.

Originally, the little girl was almost in despair, wanting to tell the immortal sister not to be troubled anymore...

"What?"

However, good times did not last long... Shen Le actually obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter under heavy pressure, and his cultivation level coincidentally broke through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, finally stabilizing the basic foundation of the Family Faction; the two factions continued to fight openly and secretly, maintaining a balance of power.

Only Dong Wenying looked at the two fierce-looking Foundation Establishment cultivators, tears swirling in her eyes, yet she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

【Cultivation Art: Mingyu Art Fourteenth Layer (10000/10000)】

"This..."

She seemed... able to cultivate?

Bai Caiwei understood that if Dong Wenying were allowed to leave today, the little girl would inevitably be targeted by the Li Family, and her end would be too horrible to look at.

"Wait!"

For example, draining the Yaowang Sect's Spirit Stone reserves, and then going to the Great Gan to auction for a 'Five Elements Golden Core Pill'!

With his current status as a Golden Core Cultivator, the risks encountered when auctioning a Golden Core Formation Pill would be much smaller.

Dong Wenying was startled, her small face pale, and she gripped Bai Caiwei's hand tightly.

As a Monster Beast, it was still capable of learning some spells.

It was not only to observe his four Disciples, but also to observe Dong Wenying's choices, temperament...

Aaron shifted his attention to the mirror surface.

"Greetings, Ancestor Le!" Another youth from the Shen Family also hurriedly bowed.

Lin Ye, who was scratching his head, immediately took it, and after listening for a few moments, his eyes lit up: "Senior Brother, Senior Sister... you don't need to argue anymore. Master already knows of this matter and has decided to accept Dong Wenying as a Disciple... and... and..."

Xiaoqing had transformed into a palm-sized turtle and was currently lying on Aaron's shoulder, slacking off.

Moreover, due to the Youth Preserving effect, he even looked much younger than the two from the Li and Shen families.

In such fence-sitting, another eighty years passed!

There were truly many Immortal Cultivator families surrounding the Qingding Sect back then, and under each Immortal Cultivator family, there were often a large number of mortal bloodlines, gathering into various towns and villages nearby...

At the celebration, although Li Jianjie and Shen Le had ugly expressions, they did not say much.

"Wait... who said you passed?"

Bai Caiwei bowed first, and being familiar with Xiaoqing's temperament, she took out a bottle of Spirit Pill and offered it: "Bai Caiwei requests an audience with Master, I ask the Spirit Venerable to please announce me!"

As long as no Golden Core Cultivator appeared among the Disciples, his position would be absolutely secure.

"You dare to scheme against Master?"

"Haha... it's Yuanfeng and Qiping, right? Truly the prodigies of our family!" Li Jianjie laughed: "I have already prepared a banquet, just waiting for tonight to celebrate your success!"

"Hmm, you are going on a long journey to prepare for Golden Core, so I will give you two gifts."

Inside the mirror, the lively scene of the Disciple assessment was displayed.

The two arrived at the top of the mountain peak and saw ten miles of brilliant peach blossoms.

If an ant chirps twice, would an adult stop their footsteps because of it?

"The key is still Dong Wenying!"

After finishing all this, Aaron finally had the leisure to glance at his Attribute Panel:

【Name: Fang Yu (Aaron)】

Or those under fifteen with superior Spirit Root aptitude can basically pass.

"This matter really needs to be prepared in advance..." Shen Le's expression also became grave: "But... how should we do it?"

The Loose Cultivators in the field exclaimed in surprise, and Li Yuanfeng seemed to enjoy this treatment of a genius, his eyes squinting with a smile: "This Disciple has not failed the mission..."

Wenying took two steps forward, but gritted her teeth and turned back to support the boy: "Brother Huzi... we promised, we are going to become immortals together! I will help you up the mountain!"

This Transmission Talisman immediately turned into a streak of fire, rushed out of the Cave Abode, and disappeared...

"It is quite difficult for a mortal to pass the first layer of the illusion test..."

A Loose Cultivator exclaimed: "This is a Magic Tool that can calm the mind... which the Yaowang Sect has strictly forbidden from being used in tests... this person... this person is actually cheating?!"

The four Senior Sisters and Brothers had almost completely broken ties.

To be honest, if there were no accidents, Shen Le felt that Master would definitely be the one to send him off first!

If he could not reach Golden Core in the next few decades... would he have to be an old man sending off a young one? No... a young man sending off an old one!

In fact, Aaron had long been mentally prepared for sending off his disciples one by one.

Hearing this, Shen Le's expression was not very joyful, and he waved his hand to let Shen Qiping stand aside.

"Brother Huzi, it's almost our turn..."

"Heaven helps those who help themselves; if Heaven won't help me, I will help myself!"

Aaron looked at Bai Caiwei's departing back and sighed with some melancholy.

"Next!"

"I have seen it clearly, everything is empty, only cultivation is real! It would be best if there is a genius in our two families who can reach Golden Core; by then, it's hard to say what the Yaowang Sect will be named... If that fails, we cannot let Bai Caiwei reach Golden Core... There are no eternal Immortal Cultivators in this world, the old guy can be glorious for at most another three hundred years... and our Immortal Cultivator families can often prosper for thousands of years!" Li Jianjie's face showed a ruthless look: "Everything is prepared for, and nothing is prepared for is ruined... some things should be prepared!"

Aaron watched coldly, feeling that Lin Ye only had a few years left, and when that time comes... it is hard to say if the Family Faction cultivators will seize the power of the Yaowang Sect!

Waves of Immortal Cultivators passed through the Array Formation one after another and gathered on the white marble plaza in front of the mountain gate.

At this moment, he happened to see the segment where the boy Huzi left in a fit of anger.

Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes; how things develop later depends on the descendants!

"Heh... are you playing dumb or are you really dumb?" Li Jianjie said with disdain: "From today's events, we know that the old guy has never trusted our family cultivators! This is slapping our faces... while strengthening the master-disciple faction!"

"And what?" Bai Caiwei asked impatiently.

Seeing wisps of white Light permeate the hunter boy's body, Bai Caiwei shook her head with regret: "You have no Spirit Root and are not suitable for immortality, go back!"

But on one side was the sect, on the other was the family... weighing the options, his own clan still held the upper hand: "Fine... after all, we are not trying to betray Master, we are just planning for the sect's ownership and future development after he passes away..."

Regardless of how outsiders were surprised, shocked, or even jealous... Wenying stared blankly at Brother Huzi, not knowing what to do.

"It is just the right time to discipline these few disciples..."

And the other Loose Cultivators felt they had gained some knowledge.

Bai Caiwei said this, took out a blue Token, and waved it at the Array Formation.

"Concentration Mirror?"

Bai Caiwei's voice rang out, and she saw a hunter boy standing in front of her.

After three kowtows, her forehead was bruised and black, the skin broken, and blood flowed out.

Yaowang Sect mountain gate.

【Spell:...】

【Skill:... Third-tier Jade Bone (3333/10000), Third-tier Talisman Making (5229/10000), Third-tier Artifact Refining (5780/10000), Third-tier Alchemy (6900/10000), Third-tier Array Formation (5141/10000)】

"And at the mountaintop is the Cave Abode where Master is in secluded meditation..."

"So what if you object? This round of recruiting Disciples is presided over by me!"

The Yaowang Sect is relatively lenient in recruiting Disciples; as long as one is under eighteen years old and has surpassed the fifth level of the Foundation Cultivation Method.

Aaron sighed and stroked Xiaoqing's head: "The Golden Core chasm... it really isn't just talk... could it be that the first fellow under my command to reach Golden Core is very likely to be you?!"

Hearing this, Xiaoqing proudly raised her head, as if saying: 'Master... if you wait another two hundred years or so, Xiaoqing will be able to reach Golden Core...'
