Chapter 192: What The h.e.l.l?
After returning to the inn, the waiter who had just laid down came in with a bowl of medicine.
“It was really scary just now. Such a huge energy storm. I wonder which old monster is staying in the inn?”
Wiping his sweat, he closed the door and placed the medicine bowl on the table, then poured himself a bowl of water.
“I can finally rest for a while!”
Gulp gulp gulp.
He poured himself two bowls of water in a row, picked up the medicine bowl, and poured the medicine soup on the ground.
“Sigh, a dead person still wants me to feed him medicine? Dream on.”
Without even looking at the bed, the waiter picked up the medicine bowl, turned around, and left.
On the bed, Li Mu frowned.
Feed me?
“Did you actually give the medicine to that person?”
Soon, the manager’s question came from downstairs.
“Yes!”
The shop a.s.sistant said lazily.
“Did you apply the medicine onto his body?”
“Yes!”
In Li Mu’s divine consciousness, he could see the shop a.s.sistant keeping the medicine given by the manager in his trouser pocket.
“Humph!”
Li Mu snorted, and the medicine in the shop a.s.sistant’s pocket immediately burst.
The medicine powder spilled into his trouser pocket.
At the same time, the dozens of silver coins in his pocket also turned into powder.
“I’m the one who’s being greedy.”
Stuffing two pills into his mouth, Li Mu continued to recover.
One night pa.s.sed, Li Mu came to the sky of Xuantian sect again to take a look around.
“So many children!”
Below in a plaza, groups of teenagers gathered together.
The house behind them was also full of young men.
From start to finish, there were about 70,000 to 80,000 people.
Even so, there was still a steady stream of youths coming up from the ferries at the foot of the mountain.
The martial artists guarding the youths were at most at the Spirit Manipulation Realm.
The leader was only at saint-level.
What was this for?
Suddenly, Li Mu had a flash of inspiration and appeared behind the group of youths.
“With my apt.i.tude, I will definitely be able to enter the Xuantian sect this time. In a few years, I will definitely become one of the top experts in the world.”
A youth in front of him said in a high-profile manner.
The surrounding youths were all watching. Some were disdainful, some were envious.
There were even more jeers and claps.
Li Mu shook his head.
He was not old, but his heart was full of ghosts.
If the youth really had good talent and entered the Xuantian sect to become a senior brother, there would definitely be one more person to protect them from this group of jeers.
If the young man failed, it would still be the same group of hecklers.
After walking around the group of young men twice, Li Mu finally understood what was going on.
In these few days, Li Mu also understood more or less the situation in the Xuantian sect.
Back in the inn.
Clang Clang ~
A stack of plates fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
“Waiter, you… don’t even think about taking this month’s salary. How many plates have you dropped in these last two days?”
The shopkeeper cursed.
“Shopkeeper, I…”
The waiter stuttered.
“You’ve been very absent-minded these past few days. You didn’t even try to get your spirits up. If you continue to act so rashly, you might as well quit,” the shopkeeper said sternly.
These past two days, the waiter looked dispirited. He didn’t care about his work at all.
“Shopkeeper, I’ve met a ghost these past few days.”
“You’ve met a ghost too?”
“Shopkeeper, you…”
“All the gold coins in my house have turned into powder. When I took them out, a gust of evil wind blew them away.”
The shopkeeper sighed.
Fortunately, the other gold coins were still there, so the loss was not big.
“Shopkeeper, my silver coins turned into silver powder just like yours, and then they were also blown away by the wind. Also, the plate that I broke these two days was really not intentional. The plate was fine and steady in my hands, I have no idea why it suddenly fell to the ground.”
As the waiter said this, he started to cry.
Even if the plate was held in his hand, it would shatter inexplicably.
What was more lamentable was that he would fall if he took two steps. Even if he looked at the road in front of him that was smooth and without a pit, there would always be something that would mysteriously appear under his feet and trip him.
The injuries on his body had been treated with countless bottles of golden sore medicine.
A few days later, the injuries on Li Mu’s body recovered. His exhausted vital essence had also mostly recovered.
“The peak of the eighth level of the True Realm. With a few more rewards, I’ll be able to break through. This escape can be considered a blessing in disguise!”
After his realm increased, all that was left was to check-in and cultivate.
“The Xuantian sect is a pretty good place for cultivation.”
Li Mu stared at the mountain range in the distance.
The scenery was pretty good!
Most importantly, the most powerful member of the Xuantian sect was only at the eighth level of the True Realm.
A few days later, Li Mu appeared in a dilapidated house on the back mountain of the Xuantian sect.
There were too many restrictions in the forbidden area. With his current strength, it would be too difficult for him to enter without triggering the restrictions.
The Xuantian sect was once a great ancient sect.
There were countless mighty figures who appeared in it, leaving it with an unknown amount of inheritance.
The ruined temple at the back of the mountain was in a remote location. There were very few traces of people around it.
The most important thing was that the rewards for checking in here were the highest in all the surrounding areas.
After tidying up the ruined temple slightly, Li Mu moved in.
A few days later, more than 100,000 youths were gathered in the square outside the Xuantian sect.
Following the sound of a gong, all the youths stared at the stage.
Envy, admiration!
The strongest sect in the human race.
After the elders on the stage explained the rules of accepting disciples, the next step was to test their talent.
The crowd quickly moved.
Hundreds of Xuantian sect disciples dressed in green maintained order.
Step by step, they walked towards a stage.
This was the only stage in the world where the mysterious sky sect tested their talent.
As a youth entered the stage, the light pillars around the grand supreme flashed.
“Bone age 12, low apt.i.tude.”
Senior martial brother Jiang said with a blank face.
“Impossible! I’m only 12 years old, and I’m already a warrior of the Higher Heaven realm, how can my apt.i.tude be low?”
“Tsk, what can being a higher heaven warrior mean? At most, it means that the family’s cultivation method is powerful and that there are abundant resources available for him. Achieving Higher Heaven realm at 12 years old was nothing, as long as I have enough resources, I’ll already be at the Spirit Manipulation Realm.”
“Don’t you know what you look like? You’re a genius in your own territory, so don’t even think about it here.”
..
From below came the cursing of the other youths from the previous year.
The youth on the stage was pushed off the stage.
“Next!”
The youth following behind him went up the stage with antic.i.p.ation, but very quickly, he left the stage with disappointment.
Midway, several youths collapsed on the stage.
There were even some who scolded the stage for having problems with the apt.i.tude test, not believing the results.
Behind the crowd, a 13-year-old girl was staring at the platform with her beautiful eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, and her palms were already dripping with sweat.
“G.o.d bless me to be able to pa.s.s the test and become a disciple of the Xuantian sect! I can then share the burden of the family and solve the family crisis.”
“Don’t think about it, just you? You might be good in Xing An city, but here, you’re nothing. Look at this one on the platform, he’s a famous genius from Longzhong County, but his posture is only average. He’s placed in the undetermined area, what are you?”
The fourteen-year-old youth behind him pursed his lips and said.
“You, hmph!”
The girl snorted.
“Since you’re pretty good-looking, if you’re willing to be my concubine, I can bring you into the Xuantian sect. Even if it’s a crisis in your clan, it’s still a small matter.”
“Pervert, I, Li Jiao, don’t need to grovel and beg others. This time, I’ll definitely be able to enter the Xuantian sect.”
Li Jiao turned around and said coldly.
“You? You’re already thirteen, and you haven’t even reached the Higher heaven realm.”
The youth behind her shook his head and said disdainfully.
On the stage, as each of the youths had insufficient talent, junior sister Yun’s brows went deeper and deeper.
“Junior sister, if you’re tired and go rest, we’ll tell you the result when the time comes.” Senior brother Jiang said.
“No, I want to see the Xuantian sect produce a first-cla.s.s talent before leaving.”
