However, the test for selecting entry-level disciples is divided into three stages highliting the understanding, luck, and power.
Surprisingly, Tianfeng Palace does not test for the talent of the Spiritual Root.
The first stage focuses on comprehension, but it isn’t particularly dangerous or rewarding.
Whether the second stage, associated with luck, is dangerous or not, is truly up to fate. If one’s luck is good, it’s not dangerous; but if unlucky, it could be fatal to someone.
It is rumored that more than twenty highly regarded individuals from Dayuefu have fallen during the second stage.
So far, it seems that no one has passed the third stage related to strength.
Su Yu is unaware of the specific details.
As for the chance to gain insights, there is absolutely no news about that. After all, no one is foolish enough to declare what insights they have gained.
“Squawk!”
As the Black Scale Eagle flapped its wings and took off, their cave dwelling quickly became a small dot in the distance. Su Rui’an, Su Qi and the others were a bit excited. After nearly a decade away from Cang Mountain, they were finally going back.
Yu Ke’er put the female Cloud Tiger and her two cubs into her Beast Taming Bag.
Otherwise, the strength of the demon type aura emanating from the Cloud Tigers, which had undergone a transformation, would have caused the Black Scale Eagle to cower in fear and refuse to fly.
Let alone carrying out a flight.
Half a month later.
The Black Scale Eagle landed outside Bai Yue Fairy City. Although cultivators were still coming and going, the bustling scene from twenty years ago when Su Yu first arrived couldn’t be compared with the present situation.
As the Black Scale Eagle touched down, the guards of the Treasury who were in charge of the entrance and exit of Bai Yue Fairy City’s Formation turned pale and treated them with respect.
The Qi Refinement Realm cultivators allowed them some space.
These cultivators respectfully greeted, “We’ve welcomed you, senior.”
“Senior.”
When Su Yu and the others arrived at the entrance, the Treasury guards respectfully saluted them, accepted eight lower-grade Spirit Stone entry fees, and presented them with the token.
This attitude and the guard’s demeanor was quite different from when Su Yu left Yunshan market and came here.
Su Yu, however, had become accustomed to these changes.
Although he didn’t feel this kind of status in the black market of Dayue, in Bai Yue Fairy City, the status of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was quite high.
“Mmm.”
They all entered Bai Yue Fairy City with a slight nod of acknowledgement.
Initially, Su Yu had merely intended to rest in Bai Yue Fairy City and check on the state of Wu Tong Pill Pavilion and Li Pingchang, who had already returned to the city.
However, upon seeing Su Yu, Li Pingchang excitedly greeted him. Even before he stepped foot in the pavilion’s backyard, she rushed up to him, exclaiming, “Pavilion Master! You’re aware of the news, aren’t you? Your timing is impeccable.”
Su Yu was taken aback, “What’s happening? What news?”
Li Pingchang hesitated, “You don’t know, Pavilion Master? I thought you were here for Wu Yan Mountain.
Su Yu shook his head, “I just want to visit my family.”
With a pause, Su Yu asked, “What’s happening with Wu Yan Mountain?”
Li Pingchang whispered, “My master—Pill Master Bai Yan—is inviting his peers to assist him in Alchemy at Wu Yan Mountain. I heard that he wants to refine a third rank Lifespan Extension Pill. If he succeeds, Bai Yan Pill Master will select one of the pill masters there to inherit Wu Yan Mountain’s cave dwelling.”
Su Yu was startled, but his expression tensed as he asked, “Pill Master Bai Yan wants to refine a third rank Lifespan Extension Pill? Why doesn’t he ask a third rank pill master to do it?”
“Moreover, if the pill is successfully refined, won’t Bai Yan Pill Master be able to extend his lifespan? Then why select someone to inherit his cave dwelling?” “And how is the cave dwelling inherited? Is it after Bai Yan Pill Master’s death?”
Li Pingchang pondered, “I’m not sure about the specifics, but when I left Wu Yan Mountain, Pill Master Bai Yan didn’t have much time left to live. I… I felt like he was hiding something.
“I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but I seized the chance to leave Wu Yan Mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu scrutinized Li Pingchang intently, and after a moment, he replied slowly, “You left Wu Yan Mountain? What do you mean? Are you suggesting your master might harm you? Parents don’t eat their children; Bai Yan Pill Master is your master so he shouldn’t harm you, right?”
Li Pingchang sneered before replying, “He might call himself my master, but in reality, I’m no different from a servant.”
“Furthermore, if you knew of the limitless desire of humans, you’d understand that Pill Master Bai Yan’s most ardent wish is to breakthrough to the Core Formation stage and extend his lifespan. But as a lone cultivator without the gift of a prodigious talent, how could he achieve this?”
“Therefore, I know that he had previously collected various pills and even secret methods related to extending lifespan.”
After a long hesitation, Li Pingchang, who seemed in quite a conflict, clenched her teeth, and said in a hushed voice, “Including the heretical method of sacrificial offering.”
Su Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted. The heretical method of sacrificial offering for prolonging life?!
If Bai Yan Pill Master wanted to use this method to extend his life, it would be no different than turning to devil cultivation.
After contemplating for a moment, Su Yu asked, “What are the chances of Bai
Yan Pill Master successfully refining a third rank Lifespan Extension Pill?”
On speaking that out, Li Pingchang seemed a lot more relaxed. She said, “A third rank Lifespan Extension Pill? He won’t be able to refine it. I’m quite familiar with his Alchemy skills. There is a good chance that he hasn’t even gathered all the materials required for it.”
Su Yu asked, “Does anyone else know about this?”
Li Pingchang shook her head, “I’ve only told you, Pavilion Master.”
Patting Li Pingchang’s shoulder, Su Yu said, “Alright, then it’s as if you never said anything.”
Li Pingchang seemed to have something more to say but didn’t. She had perceived some ominous signs from Pill Master Bai Yan and had sought Su Yu’s opinion on the matter..
