Chapter 20: Inner Sect Assessment! Gathering at Zhudao Peak!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The next day, Lin Bai and Zhao Fei’er stood at the entrance of the abode in high spirits, ready to set off.

Li Yueling saw them off at the gate, but she was yawning because she had watched the entire night yesterday. The key was that she did not dual cultivate, so she was tired.

In the outer sect area of the entire sect, numerous figures were seen walking out. These people were all going to participate in the inner sect assessment.

Although the Human Immortal Sect was in a downturn, there were still many people in the sect. And most of them were in the outer sect. Only a small number of people were in the inner sect.

This day could be considered a big day for the sect, as the spiritual qi in the entire sect felt much denser than usual.

Furthermore, they could faintly sense fluctuations in the sect’s grand formation, as if a certain kind of protection was being activated.

This clearly showed that the sect attached great importance to the inner sect assessment.

In the distant sky, one could even occasionally see some streaks of light. It was probably some high-level cultivators flying in the air.

Lin Bai was very envious when he saw this. This was true cultivation!

However, he still had to rely on his legs to walk. With Zhao Fei’er by his side, they headed towards Zhudao Peak.

Every inner sect assessment was held at a different location and in a different way, thus it avoided cheating based on past experiences.

However, in general, to enter the inner sect, one’s practical combat skills and talent would be considered, along with comprehensive evaluations.

Moreover, during each inner sect assessment, higher-level cultivators within the sect might come to observe. If they spotted promising talents, they might take them as their disciples.

There were also some unlucky ones who entered the inner sect, but no master wanted them.

However, within the Human Immortal Sect, entering the inner sect meant a substantial increase in cultivation resources and receiving strong support from the sect.

As Lin Bai and Zhao Fei’er approached Zhudao Peak, they gradually saw groups of people scattered around. Some were at the first level of Qi Refinement, while others were at the second level.

It could be said that anyone below the Foundation Establishment Stage would participate, and there were no restrictions on the minimum cultivation level for the inner sect assessment. However, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage were prohibited from participating.

Once they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they would directly enter the inner sect. Of course, being able to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Stage indicated exceptional aptitude.

Lin Bai held Zhao Fei’er’s hand all the way. Zhao Fei’er’s face was red, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The cultivators who passed by would look at them curiously. Some even recognized Zhao Fei’er, but when they looked at the cultivator beside Zhao Fei’er, they felt that he was somewhat unfamiliar, as if they had never seen him before.

This was the first time Lin Bai and Zhao Fei’er had revealed their relationship in front of so many people in the sect.

Some could sense that Lin Bai was very strong, and their hearts were all trembling. When did such a person appear in the outer sect?

In fact, those who could cultivate to the sixth level or above in the Qi Refinement Stage would have some reputation in the outer sect. This was because normally, after reaching the sixth level, unless one was very talented, they would have to rely on missions to try to break through.

Naturally, they would move around the sect more and know more people.

For example, Zhao Fei’er was good-looking and knew how to lead teams on missions, so many people knew her.

However, when they looked at Lin Bai, they all felt that Lin Bai was very unfamiliar. It felt like a Qi Refinement cultivator at the seventh level had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

There were even people inquiring about Lin Bai.

Lin Bai even heard some female cultivators discussing him.

One should know that reaching the seventh level of Qi Refinement at a young age greatly increases the chances of entering the inner sect and the possibility of achieving Foundation Building.

Some female cultivators wanted to come over and talk to him, but when they saw Zhao Fei’er beside Lin Bai, they felt that they couldn’t compete with her, so they didn’t dare to approach.

Other female cultivators who wanted to talk to Lin Bai were stared away by Zhao Fei’er.

“Li Yueling and I both think that you can take concubines, but those with average looks don’t deserve you.” Zhao Fei’er whispered to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai deeply agreed because he had just used the system to identify the women who wanted to approach him, and the results indicated that there would be no reward if they bore babies.

In other words, the system was very picky. It had to be a female cultivator with an acceptable appearance. Not just anyone would do.

Finally, Lin Bai and Zhao Fei’er arrived at Zhudao Peak.

By now, it was overcrowded with cultivators everywhere. Lin Bai only now realized how many people the sect had.

It felt like there were tens of thousands of people. Lin Bai also saw many old men here. These old men all looked like they were at the first or second level of Qi Refinement. Their vitality declined, and it was very difficult for them to continue cultivating.

However, they also came here, probably hoping to gain some participation rewards.

Zhudao Peak had a huge square platform where all these people gathered.

In the center of the square platform was a huge statue that was over a hundred meters tall. It was a cultivator with a long sword on his back. His eyes were looking into the distance with extraordinary momentum.

The people had not yet completely assembled, and they would have to wait a while longer before the inner sect assessment officially began.

Lin Bai and Zhao Fei’er strolled around the square, surprised to find that someone had set up stalls here. Taking advantage of the fact that the inner sect assessment had not yet started, they were trying to make some spirit stones. This greatly broadened Lin Bai’s horizons.

“Come and take a look! Top-quality Thunder Talismans, Fire Talismans, we have all kinds of talismans at affordable prices!”

“Recovery Pills, Great Rejuvenation Pill, Small Rejuvenation Pill, Essence Recovery Pill, come and take a look!”

…

Lin Bai saw that there were cultivators who stopped to buy.

Even before the inner sect assessment began, there were already people trying to earn spirit stones. Lin Bai couldn’t help but feel tempted. If he learned how to make talismans in the future, he could also sell them to earn spirit stones.

Now that he had two cultivation partners, he would need all kinds of resources for his future cultivation.

At this moment, Lin Bai saw more than ten cultivators walking toward him. These cultivators were clustered around a young man, chatting and laughing as they walked.

People like him either had high-level cultivators backing them or had a strong background in the mortal world with abundant resources, which attracted followers.

This person was called Ye Jue. He was a prince of a small country. Because he had spiritual roots, he was sent here to cultivate. With his wealth and abundant cultivation resources, coupled with decent talent, he had reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement in cultivation, and many people gathered around him.

However, he was a playboy, and it was said that he had found several partners.

At this moment, he saw Zhao Fei’er from afar. His eyes instantly lit up. He kept staring at Zhao Fei’ er, and he ignored Lin Bai, who was still beside her.

When Ye Jue and his group approached Lin Bai, he suddenly stopped and glanced at his entourage.

The person beside him also noticed Zhao Fei’er’s appearance and knew what Ye Jue wanted to do.

He deliberately took a few quick steps, trying to bump into Lin Bai, so he could scam him. However, he didn’t expect Lin Bai to react quickly. With a slight shift of his body, he easily let the person pass.

Ye Jue’s lackey almost fell.
