Chapter 383: Can’t be Low-Profile Even if Desired
The Six Major Sect’s assessment for the promotion of the Outer Sect Pupils to Inner Sect Pupils usually took place in another half a year, but now it was suddenly brought forward, so Lou Mu Yan was surprised.
“According to past practice, the competition for the Inner Sect Pupil spots should be in half a year, but because the Land of Inheritance is about to open, the competition between the Six Major Sects will be brought forward, so the assessment time has been changed together.” Huo Ling Long explained.
Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows slightly and asked: “Does the Sects’ Grand Competition have a lot to do with the Inner Sect exams?”
“Of course. The spots for each Sect in the Land of Inheritance are all determined by the Grand Competition. The Sects that win the most have the most spots, and the last Sect will naturally be allocated the least.
“Most importantly, in this session, who knows how those superior Almighties went crazy, but they requested that all the participants of the Sects’ Grand Competition must be new Inner Pupils, so the superiors of the Six Major Sects are so anxious to bring it forward.” Huo Ling Long pouted, obviously not showing much respect to those Almighties above.
But Lou Mu Yan really liked the temperament of this Headmaster—refreshing and domineering, but extremely protective of close ones.
When she returned to the Sect, she ran to exchange for the one hundred thousand Sect contribution points, but there was an Elder who didn’t like that and said she only took advantage of a situation to kill Shen Mu Feng and suggested to exchange for only fifty thousand contribution points.
Before she even went into a rage, Huo Ling Long went into a rage, wielding two giant axes to beat up the Elder in charge of the Sect’s contribution points exchange hall, and finally took this ordeal to the Sect Leader.
Of course, her one hundred thousand contribution points were also in her bag without a cent less, and she only needed to be promoted to Inner Sect Pupil to exchange the Heavy Water.
“What does Headmaster want me to do?” Lou Mu Yan asked Huo Ling Long with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Huo Ling Long’s gorgeous face revealed an arrogance, “I want you to enter the Inner Sect in a high-profile manner. Your talents in Arrays, Talismans, Alchemy, and Smithing can all be revealed.”
“Can you give me a reason?” Lou Mu Yan knew that Huo Ling Long wouldn’t make such a decision suddenly.
“Little girl, sometimes it’s a good thing to know how to hide, but it’s also necessary to properly reveal your strengths.”
Huo Ling Long said earnestly: “With your talent, you will definitely represent the Eight Extremes Sect to participate in the Six Major Sects’ Grand Competition. Only if you perform outstandingly in the competition for the Inner Sect spot, then after you enter the Inner Sect, would they provide you with the highest quality resources to improve. After all, the Sect also wants to get a few more spots to enter the Land of Inheritance.”
“Headmaster means that if my performance is average, the Sect won’t spend a lot of resources to train me?” Lou Mu Yan thought about it and asked.
She was originally going to enter the Inner Sect in a low-profile manner, but it seemed that it would be difficult to implement now.
“The resources that should be spent, they naturally wouldn’t be stingy with, but some special resources cannot be enjoyed.” Huo Ling Long said in a whisper: “For example, the opportunity to enter the Sect’s Core Secret Area to comprehend Arrays, Smithing, Alchemy, Talisman and such skills would be gone.”
“The Sect’s Core Secret Area?” Lou Mu Yan thought about it and guessed a bit from it.
“Yes. Each Sect as its own Secret Area, and there is a mysterious Tower of Enlightenment in the Secret Area. There are very few pupils who are qualified to enter the Tower of Enlightenment, and right now is an opportunity.
“Because the Six Major Sects’ Grand Competition this time is linked to the Land of Inheritance, so one of the Ancestors of the Sect decided to open the Tower of Enlightenment to the newly promoted Inner Sect Pupils with great talent.”
Huo Ling Long looked at Lou Mu Yan with a look of trust and said: “I hope you win this rare opportunity.
Lou Mu Yan was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and said jokingly: “Headmaster, are you leaking secrets?”
“Did I say something just now?” Huo Ling Long blinked and said: “When one is old, their memory isn’t that good. I think I don’t remember what I just said.”
Lou Mu Yan smiled merrily, “Headmaster was discussing the Spiritual Tea in the cup with me just now.”
“Yes. We were discussing Spiritual Tea.” Huo Ling Long gave Lou Mu Yan a ‘you catch on well’ look.
The opening of the Tower of Enlightenment was indeed a secret. She didn’t know if other Headmasters would reveal it or not, but she knew that if she didn’t mention it, then this little girl Lou Mu Yan definitely would hide her strength during the assessment for promotion to the Inner Sect.
“Headmaster, I brewed a few pots of Spiritual Wine for beauty and refining Elemental Energy a while ago, I wonder if you’re interested?” Lou Mu Yan accepted Huo Ling Long’s kindness and naturally should repay a little.
The contact between one person and another all required mutual support. One would never be recognised if they expected the unilateral efforts of others.
Huo Ling Long’s eyes lit up, “Of course I’m interested.”
Lou Mu Yan took out a jug of Honey Spiritual Fruit Wine and a jug of Blood Sac Wine and placed it on the table, then said with a meaningful smile: “I won’t disappoint Headmaster, and I’ll earn face for you when the time comes.”
‘One gives me a peach, I repay with a precious jade1’. In the past, the Talisman School was always the bottom of the Sect. Since she couldn’t be low-profile, then she could only be flamboyant and high-profile.
“Giggle…” Huo Ling Long picked up a jug of Spiritual Wine, opened it and smelled it, “Little girl sure is likeable.”
Then she opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked tentatively: “You just said that you brewed this Spiritual Wine?”
“Mm. I usually also like these things. The Spiritual Wine brewed by other people is too difficult to swallow, so I can only do it myself.” Lou Mu Yan shrugged.
Huo Ling Long rolled her eyes and said through gritted teeth: “Little girl, you aren’t a human at all, simply a monster.”
These were two jugs of Grade 5 Spiritual Wine, which meant that Lou Mu Yan was actually a Grade 5 Spiritual Wine Master. Such talent already made her unable to find any adjectives to express her own feelings.
However, she didn’t have any jealousy, but instead, she was very excited. The stronger her pupil, the more face she had as the Headmaster.
Anticipation flashed across her eyes. She sure wanted to see the day when those old things in those Schools dropped their jaws in shock.
“Is there anything else Headmaster wants?” Lou Mu Yan was a little frightened by Huo Ling Long’s scorching gaze.
Huo Ling Long smiled and waved her hand, “Nothing else, go back and prepare first, I’ll wait for you to give me face in the Inner Sect’s assessment.”
“Alright. Then I’ll leave first.”
Lou Mu Yan saluted and left. Huo Ling Long looked at the disappearing back and the expression on her face subsided a little.
She played with the Spiritual Wine bottle in her hand and a playful smile rose on her lips, “Little girl, don’t disappoint me!”
For many years, she hadn’t had the thought of focusing on training any pupil. Lou Mu Yan gave her that interest, but it all depended on whether the little girl’s performance in the Inner Sect promotion assessment was worth her betting on.
After returning to her courtyard, Lou Mu Yan went into Seclusion again. From time to time she would also go out of the courtyard to listen to the lectures from the Talisman School and go to the Sect’s library to read some books on Talismans.
A month passed in a hurry and the pupils of the Outer Sect were all gearing up to do their best.
As long as one entered the Inner Sect, their future achievements would only be evident, and there was even a chance to soar into the sky. Everyone wanted to seize it.
Lou Mu Yan felt the momentum and atmosphere of the pupils from the Outer Sect of the Talisman School, and she also felt a little more anticipation.
1might’ve heard the ‘the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by a spring’ which is used more often. First time I’ve heard this peach one hahaha. Though after some research, although they have similar meanings, but the peach one apparently originated from an ancient poem about a man and a woman, where the woman offers a peach and the man offers a previous jade (thought to be his jade pendant) but not to repay her kindness, but instead to cherish the affections and be on good terms forever.
