The three of them had a meal together, and by the end, only Stefanie was left with nothing to drink.
Although Yuan Youyuan was a little tipsy, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked even more moist and attractive. However, her eyes were clear and she was very conscious.
Gao Xuan didn't think much about it. Although the relationship between men and women was very casual in this era, it was still different for different people.
Because Yan Zi drank too much, Gao Xuan paid the bill. The meal cost more than 100,000 yuan. It was quite extravagant.
Fortunately, Gao Xuan made a lot of money when he was the director of the field department. When he left, he took away most of the special fund of the field department. According to the rules, this money was originally his.
Although the money was not obtained in a legitimate way, it was earned through my own ability.
Gao Xuan now had more than 200 million credit points on him, so he wouldn't be embarrassed to have no money to pay the bill.
Yuan Youyuan supported the limp Yan Zi, Gao Xuan drove the car, and the three of them returned to the temple together.
The official name of this temple on Yunguang Star is Qingyun Palace. It is also the most famous palace complex on Yunguang Star.
Gao Xuan sent Yan Zi and Yuan Youyuan downstairs. Just as he was about to leave, Yuan Youyuan invited him, "Since you are here, come up and have a cup of tea."
If other men were to invite someone to have tea at this time, they would inevitably think too much, but Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan clearly did not have that intention.
Yuan Youyuan threw Yan Zi onto her bed and took Gao Xuan to her room.
The layout of her room was the same as Yan Zi's, but the furnishings were more exquisite. Gao Xuan even saw a few magical instruments used for daily practice.
Dharma instruments were not rare in this era. However, using them on a daily basis was still a very luxurious act. This shows that Yuan Youyuan was indeed born into an extraordinary family.
Yuan Youyuan actually made a pot of tea for Gao Xuan. She said, "The Moon Spirit Pearl is a specialty of Night Demon City. This pure yin spiritual energy crystal is particularly beneficial to female cultivators. However, the Moon Spirit Pearl is very rare and can only be obtained by killing the remaining soul fragments of a powerful evil god. You don't have to take risks for this."
Gao Xuan nodded. Yuan Youyuan's words were clear. This was a business. It was up to him to decide.
Yuan Youyuan added: "There are two people you can make friends with in this trial. One is Huang Linying and the other is Yuan Hai. Huang Linying is Huang Daoyuan's junior. He has decent talent but a very honest character. Yuan Hai is my nephew. He is a bit wild but also a man of character. Please take care of him if you have the chance..."
Gao Xuan is indeed a master of the foundation-building level. After a drink, Yuan Youyuan also found that Gao Xuan has many qualities: calm and sophisticated, with strong judgment and reliable work.
Many of the trial warriors are young men, but there are few reliable ones.
What’s more, Gao Xuan’s martial arts skills are so high.
Yuan Youyuan specially investigated Gao Xuan's information and saw the video of him killing Yu Hongen. He knew that this person was really powerful and decisive enough.
In other words, this is talent.
The trial is still very dangerous. If there is such a person to help, there will be too many benefits.
Of course, she and Gao Xuan were not that close yet, so she could only mention it briefly.
Gao Xuan naturally nodded in agreement. They were alone, and the other party didn't have that intention, so he drank two cups of tea and stood up to say goodbye.
Because he was a trial warrior, Gao Xuan lived in the west area of Qingyun Palace. The houses here were simple in style and the individual rooms were small, but fortunately they had all the necessary living facilities.
There are also martial arts training grounds around the venue, equipped with a variety of special martial arts equipment.
There were still thirty days left, and the trial warriors who had gathered from all over had arrived one after another, and several training grounds were full of people.
The trial warriors were all young and full of energy. They were skilled in martial arts and no one was willing to give in. There were often people competing in the ring, and every day was very lively.
Gao Xuan went there twice and was quite touched when he saw the heroic young boys and girls.
Regardless of the background of this group of people, their thriving temperament is touching.
It’s just that the two sides have too much difference in experience and ability.
Although Gao Xuan appreciated the vitality of this group of people, he had no interest in dealing with them.
As the oldest trial warrior, he had a hard time being popular.
Gao Xuan stayed in his room peacefully, reading the holy books every day, doing his daily homework, and occasionally strolling around cyberspace.
During this period, Yan Zi came to see him twice, mainly to inform him of some specific information related to the trial. This information was obtained from Yuan Youyuan.
In Yuan Youyuan's words, just think of it as an investment.
Thirty days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of the trial, in the main hall of the temple, more than 3,000 trial warriors, wearing standard holy armor and Xuanyuan swords at their waists, stood in neat formation.
Because Gao Xuan was too old and was Yuan Ping'an's man, he was ranked very far back.
Those children from prominent families all stood in the front row.
There were also several thousand Templars watching the ceremony on both sides. People like Yan Zi could only stand in the back row. She was small and Gao Xuan couldn't see her.
Yuan Youyuan, however, was wearing a white robe and standing in the front row. Her status and position were obviously different from Yan Zi's. Moreover, Yuan Youyuan stood there solemnly, lacking her usual sweetness and instead looking a bit brighter.
Holy warriors are naturally handsome men and beautiful women, each with their own temperament. Yuan Youyuan stood there, overwhelming everyone with her appearance alone. When I glanced over, I could naturally see her at a glance.
Gao Xuan stood in the back row and could look around without any scruples.
Standing in front and presiding over the trial ceremony was Huang Tingdao, the head of the Yunguangxing Holy Hall, and a Silver-Glory-level saint. This meant that he was at least a Jindan powerhouse.
Gao Xuan just glanced at this person from a distance. Huang Tingdao had a stern face, a thin figure, and was wearing a standard white robe. He looked very serious.
There were also several outstanding young men with the surname Huang in this trial. Yan Zi told him privately that these were all from the Huang family and asked him not to offend them.
In addition, there are five major families in the Yunguang Star Region, namely Huang, Qin, Cao, Zhao, and Yuan.
You have to know that the Yunguang Star Region is much larger than the Twelve Star Regions, but it only has five major families. It is conceivable how powerful these five major families are.
Yan Zi repeatedly warned Gao Xuan in private that he must not offend these five families. Otherwise, it would be useless even if he had the status of a holy temple.
Most of the high-ranking officials of the Holy Temple in the Yunguang Star Domain are from the five major families.
Finally, Yan Zi also told Gao Xuan to try his best to have a good relationship with Yuan Youyuan. This girl is a direct descendant of the Yuan family, very talented, and has a bright future.
Gao Xuan noticed this without Yan Zi saying it.
Yuan Youyuan is only 18 years old, but he has already completed the foundation building. And the foundation building level is very high. Much stronger than Yuan Pingan.
A girl like this, even if she has no family background, would definitely be a genius in the Yunguang Star Region.
Looking at Yuan Youyuan's demeanor, clothing, and the car he drives, even a fool would know that he is extraordinary.
There is no problem for both parties to cooperate, but there is no need for him to cling to the other party.
The little girl was too young to be the head of the family. On the other hand, she was pretty. If you got too close to her, you could easily get hurt.
The most important thing is that if you rely on aristocratic families, you must be used by them. This is actually very troublesome.
Yuan Ping'an's ascetic path is more suitable for him. Anyway, as long as he learns the cultivation system in the temple, other resources are not important.
After reaching the Golden Elixir stage and accumulating merits, you will naturally be able to move up. This is the benefit of the Holy Hall. Although there is competition and accumulation, there is a channel for upward movement.
Gao Xuan stood in the crowd and thought about his future. Huang Tingdao in front of him also said the most important part: "The first place in the trial will be rewarded with a seventh-grade divine crystal, the second place will be rewarded with the "Pure Yang Thunder Art", and the third place will be rewarded with a Tianyuan-level sword box..."
The rewards for this trial were very generous, and many of the trial warriors were very young. They couldn't help but exclaim and talk in surprise.
The group of noble family children standing in front all looked reserved. They had known about this inside information for a long time. Of course, they were not surprised.
Everyone even coordinated to compete fairly, and at the same time, they also worked together to step on others.
Gao Xuan was not interested in anything else except the Pure Yang Thunder Art, which should be a very high-level secret method of cultivation.
It is not difficult to get the first place, but it is difficult to get the second place. Gao Xuan thinks it is better to find someone to cooperate with and take the first and second place.
After Huang Tingdao finished speaking, many Templar warriors joined forces to activate the magic circle, and the hundred-meter-tall statue of the God Emperor emitted a golden light that shot up into the sky.
Layer upon layer of golden runes as fine as rays of light emerged. Gao Xuan took a quick look and saw that there were tens of billions of these runes.
Countless runes are connected and stacked in an orderly manner, communicating with the sea of source power and setting the huge source power into motion.
These illuminated runes may seem unreal, but they are actually like precise parts that combine to form a huge, complex and sophisticated device.
There is nothing illusory here. All rune combinations have been adjusted billions of times to form the current magic circle.
The essence of the magic circle's cultivation system contains superb wisdom and superb technology.
As the founder of the cultivation system, Gao Xuan felt a sense of accomplishment every time he saw the alliance using magic circles.
No matter what the alliance becomes, from the perspective of cultivation, humanity has taken a big step forward.
In terms of height, the Alliance might not be as good as the world of cultivation, but at the same technical level, the Alliance was far superior.
The huge magic circle and billions of runes operate in an orderly manner, reflecting a beauty that is both precise and gorgeous.
Others' understanding of runes was too rough. They could only sense the enormous power of the formation but could not understand the subtlety of its operation.
The huge magic circle is centered on the statue of the Divine Emperor, and the power of the magic circle quickly reaches its peak.
A deep portal opened up in the void in the center of the hall. Standing in the hall, one could sense the chilling aura emanating from the depths of the portal.
Even an ordinary person could see that the place the portal led to was dangerous.
The many trial warriors present were very excited just now. Now facing the gate to Night Demon City, everyone naturally calmed down.
Huang Tingdao has just explained the trial very clearly. The trial lasts for thirty days. After the trial, whoever gets the fragment of the evil god can pass the trial.
The Night Demon City is an independent space fragment, which can be regarded as a prison controlled by the Qingyun Palace, where the remaining soul of the evil god and his followers are imprisoned.
The strong men of the Holy Temple were also unable to interfere with Night Demon City. All the trial warriors were likely to encounter the danger of death. Although this was a trial, it was extremely dangerous.
There are two iron rules in the trial. The first is that you cannot betray the temple and collude with the evil god. The second is that the trial warriors cannot kill each other.
Huang Tingdao did not allow the trial warriors to think too much. He flicked his long sleeves and said, "Let's begin."
The trial warriors began to line up and move forward, and after entering the deep portal, they would immediately disappear.
Gao Xuan was almost the last in line. When he walked to the front, he suddenly found that Yu Ning was standing next to the entrance, staring at him deeply.
Gao Xuan's gaze paused on Yu Ning's face. He was a little surprised that the other party actually chased after him.
The Yunguang Star Region is not the Twelve Star Regions, and the power of the Yu family is nothing here. Yu Ning is really determined to take revenge.
Yu Ning sneered at Gao Xuan: "I am the invigilator of this trial. Don't cheat and let me catch you!"
