The day of trial finally arrived.
Xie Jiuniang set out at the beginning of the morning hour, riding on a small crane and flying slowly.
This leisurely attitude attracted the attention of many people in the sect. Ever since they knew that Xie Jiuniang gave her master a Pure World Lotus as a gift of apprenticeship, even if the matter had not been spread, almost all the powerful people in the high-level knew about it.
Some people felt very regretful. If they had known that this young disciple was so wealthy, they should have taken action.
One Yuanying sighed: "Old Xiao, you are right, this is a little god of wealth, and the one who makes a move is a Pure World Lotus."
"Haha, Chao Yan still has a sharp eye. We can't compare to him."
"I can smell the sour taste of your words from a distance..."
"Go away, who wouldn't be jealous now? This little disciple has great fortune and is hardworking, so his poor aptitude is nothing. He has three spiritual roots and established his foundation at the age of fifteen. The strongest genius of this generation also established his foundation at the age of sixteen."
"Fifteen? She looks a little young..."
Xie Jiuniang didn't know someone was gossiping about her, and was talking to the sword spirit. She couldn't use her spiritual sense to investigate in the sect. If she accidentally hit someone, she would offend that person. So she asked the sword spirit to monitor the surroundings and report to her.
"Flying so slowly, aren't you afraid of angering the person who is watching you to death?" The sword spirit had long known that the dog owner was up to no good.
Xie Jiuniang smiled indifferently, "I'm not in a hurry."
Along the way, some people were already waiting at the road they had to take.
Some even have several people coming in turn.
If the sword spirit hadn't reminded her, she really wouldn't have been able to see it.
It took more than half an hour to fly.
Finally arrived at the Trial Peak at the beginning of the morning hour.
On the first day of every month, the Trial Peak would be packed with people and disciples.
The trial ground was jointly created by the sect's great powers. It was a trial site specifically for disciples who were training Qi and building their foundation. It was said that it was originally a deserted little secret place.
Xie Jiuniang had been there in her previous life.
There are mechanisms, illusion arrays, puppet arrays, etc., all kinds of traps and dangers that one might encounter in the world of immortal cultivation.
This is specially used to train disciples.
The possibility of being fatal is very low. If you touch the danger activation sign, you will be transmitted out. But every year, a few unlucky people still die in it.
Just landed on the stone platform at the top of Trial Peak.
Xie Jiuniang noticed several malicious glances.
Follow the gaze.
Seeing that Wu Shuangshuang was too late to look away, Wu Shuangshuang smiled stiffly at Xie Jiuniang, as if trying to hide something.
Xie Jiuniang knew how vicious this woman was.
Seeing several foundation-building disciples from the side branches of the Wu family around Wu Shuangshuang, Xie Jiuniang sneered in her heart.
These people had caused her a lot of trouble in her previous life.
Looking at the two female cultivators and Wu Shuangshuang next to them, they are all like-minded people and are Lin Wangchen's obsessed admirers.
It seemed as if Lin Wangchen had once helped or saved them.
Three women in one drama.
Especially a vicious woman, she would definitely cause a lot of trouble. Xie Jiuniang was secretly alert and asked the sword spirit to keep an eye on the movements of the three of them.
The sword spirit said, "They are all saying bad things about the master."
"What did you talk about?"
“Wu Shuangshuang said that it was you who caused Lin Wangchen to be punished to the Cliff of Repentance. If you had obediently become his disciple and had not rejected Taoist Min Huang, causing him to lose face, he would not have been so angry and punished Lin Wangchen…” The sword spirit roughly explained the meaning of the conversation between the women.
Xie Jiuniang was speechless: "What's wrong with these people's brains? Everyone else is normal, only they are different."
The sword spirit smiled and said, "They want to teach the master a lesson in the trial ground."
"It's still unclear who will teach whom a lesson."
This is what Xie Jiuniang said in the message, and I thought she was so arrogant.
As a result, the sword spirit saw its dog owner and began to check the life-saving items on his body out of fear. The first was the jade token hanging around his waist that could defend against a full-strength attack from the Nascent Soul, and then the top-grade soft sword around his waist.
Then there was the magical wristband that she had improved.
Xie Jiuniang had pondered the inheritance of puppetry, but she didn't make a single puppet. Instead, she applied some of the techniques related to mechanical arts to the wristband, and designed a hidden weapon mechanism. As long as the spiritual consciousness touched the mechanism, it would shoot out poison needles.
Three shots in total.
The poison is really poisonous, the kind that kills instantly when it strikes blood.
There is also a set of clothes for the disciple, which is a high-level robe.
Wearing a pair of top-quality Liuyun boots.
It looked like nothing, but there was a dagger stuck in each pair of boots.
There are also defensive hairpins, earrings, etc.
This inhumane outfit is almost standard for descendants of the first generation.
This is undoubtedly telling others that this is a disciple with a backer and not someone who can be easily provoked.
Once upon a time, Xie Jiuniang envied others.
Now she was standing calmly on the stone platform in a majestic manner, attracting countless envious glances.
She was completely unaware of this and was still wondering if she had missed anything.
“Buzz!”
The sound of a bell brought silence to the Trial Peak.
This is the signal to begin.
Five Yuanyings appeared together and stood at the center of the peak, above five huge stone pillars with carved array patterns. They then formed seals together and pressed their palms into the stone pillars to activate the array patterns on them.
The five of them worked together to open the door to the trial.
Xie Jiuniang saw an illusory gate gradually emerging in the center of the five pillars in front of her.
A Jindan Zhenren from the Trial Peak said loudly, "The trial gate is open. It will only last for one hour. Disciples who want to participate in the trial please enter as soon as possible. If you fail to do so within the time limit, you will be given up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples closest to him threw themselves into the door and disappeared in an instant.
Xie Jiuniang then also moved.
Just as he was approaching the entrance, a male cultivator bumped into him from behind.
Xie Jiuniang slightly turned sideways, and the male cultivator just brushed past her.
Then, Xie Jiuniang saw a trace of powder on the corner of her robe.
The sword spirit asked angrily, "Master, you could have avoided it, why did you fall for it?"
"What do you know? How can I play if they don't come after me?" Xie Jiuniang deliberately let the other party leave powder, which is usually used for tracking. "Does that person have a contracted beast?"
"Maybe."
"Let's talk inside." Xie Jiuniang had a conversation with the sword spirit. To people outside, it seemed like they just paused for a moment, and then went in as usual.
An illusory door.
It allows people to come to another world from the top of the trial peak.
This is still a square.
In the middle stands the stone tablet of Tianxu Sect and the statue of the founder of the sect.
The first place that every disciple who enters appears is in this trial center square.
Xie Jiuniang saw the male cultivator who almost bumped into her, and it was the one who was with Wu Shuangshuang before.
Wu Shuangshuang and others followed her in.
The male cultivator soon reunited with Wu Shuangshuang and others.
The sword spirit's baby voice started again: "We must kill them all! They are so abominable, humph."
"It's okay to kill one or two, but not all of them."
One or two could be considered accidents, but the death of all of them would lead to a high-level investigation.
