The Trial Begins
Lin Luochen originally wanted to use the corpse beauty to rob Li Gousheng and others, and pass the entry assessment.
But as soon as he heard about the ancient tomb, he became interested and inquired about the situation in the tomb.
Li Gousheng didn’t know much, and said with a wry smile, “I’m afraid only Fairy Lan knows about this!”
Lin Luochen nodded and followed him to Lan Shuiyun and the other two.
Lan Shuiyun smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Lin, would you like to team up with us?”
Lin Luochen smiled, “Fairy Lan, I wonder what the situation is like in the ancient tomb you mentioned?”
Lan Shuiyun saw that several others were also looking over, so she didn’t hide anything.
“This ancient tomb should have been visited by seniors long ago, and the treasures inside have already been taken away.”
“But at the same time, the powerful corpses inside were also cleared out, and various mechanisms have become ineffective.”
“According to my clan elders, some cultivators who died inside turned into corpses, probably about the strength of Silver Corpses.”
“This little girl doesn’t know the number of corpses inside, so I wanted to invite a few fellow Daoists to help look out for each other.”
Lin Luochen said somewhat disappointedly, “I wonder if there are any classics in this tomb?”
Lan Shuiyun didn’t expect his focus to be so unique, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke.
“This has never been heard of, but it is said that there are some murals and texts from ancient times inside, I don’t know what is written.”
Lin Luochen’s eyes lit up when he heard this, but he didn’t want to be too obvious, and asked a few other questions before agreeing.
“Since Fairy Lan has extended such a kind invitation, how can I refuse? I will travel with you all!”
Lan Shuiyun immediately smiled brightly, “With Fellow Daoist Lin and three others assisting, this trip will surely be safe and sound.”
Li Gousheng chuckled, “Since we’re teaming up, let’s get to know each other, so we don’t have any problems with cooperation later.”
“I’ll go first, my name is Li Gousheng, Five Elements Spiritual Root, Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, I’m good at formations and escaping!”
“I was a rogue cultivator before, this time I snatched…picked up an Ascension Token, which allowed me to enter.”
Lan Shuiyun smiled sweetly, “This little girl is Lan Shuiyun, from the Lan Family of Tianshui City, Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.”
“I have a Thunder Spiritual Root, I’m good at Thunder Arts and swordsmanship, but I’m not good at defense, please take care of me!”
The man in green beside her smiled, “Fairy Lan, don’t worry, with Qin Tao here, you won’t be in any danger.”
The man next to him also patted his chest and nodded, “That’s right, with us brothers here, Fairy Lan can rest assured.”
Lan Shuiyun smiled, “Then I’ll rely on the two Fellow Daoists Qin!”
The two brothers are named Qin Tao and Qin Bin, they are unofficial disciples of a certain elder in the sect, and are both in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment.
They have Earth-type Heavenly Spiritual Roots, are skilled in talismans and defense, and have successfully refined two iron corpses.
Lan Shuiyun’s beautiful eyes sparkled, her face full of admiration, a few gentle words, and the two brothers were completely captivated.
Everyone looked at Lin Luochen, he just smiled and said, “Lin Luochen, rogue cultivator, Early Stage Foundation Establishment.”
The disciples who could pass the numerous assessments and enter the Shiyin Sect were all strong, and at this age, they were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Among the five Grade A disciples, Lin Luochen had the lowest realm, and like Li Gousheng, he came from a rogue cultivator background.
A touch of pride flashed in the Qin brothers’ eyes, finally regaining some confidence in their realm.
Lan Shuiyun curiously asked, “I wonder what arts Fellow Daoist Lin is good at?”
Lin Luochen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, “None!”
Lan Shuiyun and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, this kid is indeed all looks and no substance.
A strange light flashed in Lan Shuiyun’s eyes, she smiled sweetly, “Fellow Daoist Lin is truly humble!”
Lin Luochen smiled without speaking, and Big Brother Qin Tao among the Qin brothers suddenly spoke up.
“Fellow Daoist Lin seems to have come with the Holy Maiden, what is your relationship with the Holy Maiden?”
The others all looked at him curiously, Lin Luochen naturally had to use Su Yuyao’s name.
“She wants to take me as her disciple.”
Qin Tao and the others gasped, their eyes filled with apprehension and envy.
Li Gousheng envied, “Fellow Daoist Lin is truly fortunate, I wonder if I can find such a beautiful Master.”
Lin Luochen thought about the pile of old men and women in the hall, and suddenly felt that his request might be a little high.
The group exchanged a few more words outside the Disciple Pavilion, deepening their understanding of each other.
Lin Luochen noticed that the men present were all interested in Lan Shuiyun, who was beautiful and gentle.
Lan Shuiyun spoke softly to everyone, making people feel like a spring breeze, indeed very easy to win people’s good impression.
However, she seemed to look at Lin Luochen differently, constantly looking at him, causing the Qin brothers to become jealous.
Although Lin Luochen felt that Lan Shuiyun was a bit strange, he had been looked at differently by many women, so he didn’t think much of it.
Probably just another vulgar woman who coveted his appearance!
After some meaningless conversation, Lin Luochen made an appointment with the four to set off in three days, then got up and left.
Lan Shuiyun looked at his back, a strange light flashing in her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.
Lin Luochen returned to his room and took out a Foundation Building Pill given by True Person Cuiyin and swallowed it.
The Foundation Building Pill given by True Person Cuiyin was indeed extraordinary, as soon as one entered his stomach, the gentle medicinal power spread out.
Lin Luochen quickly cultivated silently, wanting to reach the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment again in three days.
He had already reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, but a while ago, he was blessed by the Heavenly Dao, and was knocked back to the third level of Foundation Establishment.
He didn’t know how long it had been, when Lin Luochen suddenly felt something.
He opened his eyes and found a woman in white clothes with long hair covering her face squatting in front of him.
Lin Luochen was startled, instinctively punched out, the woman instantly appeared a short distance away, and snorted coldly.
“Little brat, even your Master you dare to hit?”
Lin Luochen looked at Su Yuyao, who was lifting her hair, and said angrily, “Master, do you know how scary that is?”
Su Yuyao sat down on the chair carelessly, leaning back, and said nonchalantly, “You don’t look like you’d be scared to death.”
Lin Luochen rolled his eyes and said, “Master, why are you here?”
Su Yuyao threw a comb to him and said, “I came to comb your hair!”
Lin Luochen looked at the comb in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.
I’ve hidden here, and you still chased after me?
Su Yuyao raised her eyebrows, and sneered, “What, now that you’re admired by many, you don’t recognize me as your Master anymore?”
Lin Luochen stepped forward, holding her hair, and smiled, “Master, you’re joking, I just didn’t expect Master to come find me.”
“Hmph, that’s more like it!”
Su Yuyao said, “This time there’s a high probability that you’ll choose your Master yourself, do you know how to choose?”
Lin Luochen said confidently, “A bunch of old geezers, how can they compare to Master, a fool would know who to choose!”
Su Yuyao was quite pleased, nodded and said, “This time your Master won’t follow, you must be careful.”
Lin Luochen smiled, “Master, don’t worry, I’m teaming up with others this time, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Su Yuyao frowned, asked a few questions, and then slowly cautioned.
“Although this assessment has elders secretly accompanying, they generally won’t intervene, and they may not be able to make it in time.”
“Be careful yourself, remember what your Master said, in the tomb, people are far more terrifying than corpses!”
Lin Luochen smiled slightly, “Master, don’t worry, I’m not that naive, it’s them that should be careful!”
Su Yuyao suddenly remembered this kid’s ruthlessness, and felt that she was being overcautious.
“I’ll wait for you to come back to the sect.”
She left a few talismans and pills, and…her dirty clothes, then disappeared.
Lin Luochen was heartbroken, where am I going to wash and dry my clothes?
If others see this, wouldn’t I be unable to explain myself?
So Lin Luochen simply confiscated the dress.
I don’t know if it was the wind or if there were perverts in the sect, but the clothes that were drying disappeared!
Is this reasonable?
For the next three days, Lin Luochen stayed behind closed doors, wholeheartedly cultivating.
During this period, others also came to visit him, but they were all turned away.
Three days passed in a flash, and Lin Luochen finally returned to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.
He asked Qu Lingyin for a technique to conceal his aura, still only showing the spiritual energy fluctuation of the Early Stage Foundation Establishment.
At this moment, the gathering bell rang outside, Lin Luochen walked out of the room and came to the lawn.
An old man with white hair and a youthful face stood there, with a sundial beside him, holding more than a dozen tokens in his hand.
He threw the tokens to everyone, and said calmly, “These are sect tokens, you cannot enter or leave the sect without tokens.”
“Seven days later, everyone will gather here, those who are not present by then will be considered to have given up their qualifications, do you all understand?”
Everyone said in unison, “Understood!”
The old man nodded and said, “The assessment begins now!”
Most of the disciples left in groups of three or five, only a few confident ones flew out alone.
Lan Shuiyun and the others walked forward and smiled, “Brother Lin, shall we go?”
Lin Luochen nodded, and several people took out their flying magical artifacts and stepped onto them.
Lin Luochen also summoned the Zhanfeng Sword given by Su Yuyao, leaped up, and landed steadily on it.
“Let’s go!”
The five people turned into five streams of light and flew out, drawing long rainbows in the sky.
The elder smiled slightly, shook his head and said, “I wonder how many will be able to return!”
In the distance, Su Yuyao watched Lin Luochen’s figure leave on the wind, a faint soul shadow appeared in her hand.
“Go, help me keep an eye on him.”
The soul shadow in her hand flew out immediately, following Lin Luochen and the others.
