"Is that so?" Han Lin turned to look at the group of people beside him, who were also looking at him with strange expressions.

"Perhaps there's something wrong with my jade talisman."

Seeing this, Han Lin could only accept his bad luck.

Senior Brother He smiled and said, "It's good that Junior Brother is alright. May I ask, have you completed your mission?"

"It's done, senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Han Lin quickly took out the miniature storage bag.

Most of the others looked envious, but one of the burly men had a gloomy expression.

Senior Brother He took the storage bag, took out the yellow silk inside, glanced at it, and then checked the items stored inside. He nodded and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Han, you have passed the test."

"However, there is still one day left before the assessment ends, so I'll have to trouble you to wait here for a while. We'll go back together to report back later."

"no problem."

Having received confirmation from Senior Brother He, Han Lin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to sit down casually on the grass beside him.

Of the eighteen examinees, including Han Lin, seven have already emerged.

Logically speaking, in the next period of time, the rest of the people should gradually come out.

But they waited until nightfall, and no one came out, which surprised Brother He and the others.

Moreover, Senior Brother He discovered another problem: the mist formation at the valley entrance was visibly thinning.

Finally, the last day of the assessment arrived.

According to past practice, once midnight arrived, everyone inside would be thrown out.

But today, something unexpected happened. Midnight had long passed, yet Dragon Serpent Valley remained completely silent. On the contrary, the mist formation at the valley entrance had completely disappeared.

It wasn't until the next morning that a group of people were finally seen running out of the entrance in a disheveled state.

Senior Brother He hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Someone said, "Senior Brother He, it's not that we don't want to come out, but after we crushed the life-saving talisman, there was absolutely no reaction."

"Later, seeing that things were not going well, we had no choice but to walk back. On the way, we were chased by monsters, and everyone was injured."

"Luckily we huddled together, otherwise we probably would have died inside."

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother He's expression changed slightly.

Seeing their disheveled appearance, and not seeming to be lying, he thought for a moment and said:

"It seems there really is a problem with Dragon Serpent Valley. I won't hold it against you for going over time; just hand over your storage bags. As long as you complete the task, you'll pass. But if you still fail, don't blame me."

Upon hearing this, those who had completed their mission were overjoyed.

Those who returned late but failed to complete their tasks were all disheveled and extremely disappointed.

After a final tally, exactly nine out of the eighteen participants completed the task.

This includes Han Lin and Tang Chuan.

Tang Chuan looked rather miserable. His clothes were torn by something, and his face was covered in red spots, as if he had been stung by bees, and it was swollen badly.

Han Lin asked curiously, "Brother Tang Chuan, what happened to you?"

Tang Chuan said dejectedly, "Don't even mention it! I took on a mission to steal bird eggs, but those golden-eyed sparrows were incredibly fierce. They kept chasing me and pecking at me. Look at my face, I'm practically unrecognizable!"

"You were pecked by a bird? I thought you were stung by a bee." Han Lin was very surprised.

"It wasn't a bee sting..."

Tang Chuan said dejectedly, a sharp pain shooting through his face from time to time. The golden-eyed bird's beak was sharp and thin, and it seemed to be somewhat poisonous.

"Alright, this assessment is over. Everyone, come back with me!" At this moment, Senior Brother He said loudly to everyone, then turned and walked towards the extremely large golden carriage.

Seeing this, everyone followed behind Senior Brother He.

Although the carriage was very spacious, it was still a bit crowded when eighteen or nineteen people squeezed in, and some people even had to sit on the ground.

No one spoke on the way, and the carriage swayed and bumped along until it arrived at the entrance of Yinxian Hall in the outer square.

Everyone got off the car one after another, and then followed Senior Brother He into the main hall.

Inside, another middle-aged man was sitting behind a desk writing something. Seeing them enter, he stood up and said, "Junior Brother He, you're back. How did things go this time?"

Senior Brother He clasped his hands in greeting and smiled, "Greetings, Senior Brother Wan. It's still the same as before, nothing special. Nine people completed the assessment. However, there's something I'm afraid I need to report to the higher-ups."

"What's wrong?"

"It seems there's something wrong with the Dragon Serpent Valley's grand formation. On the last day, their jade talismans stopped working and couldn't be used to send people out. Also, the grand formation at the entrance has disappeared. I'm afraid we'll have to ask an inner sect expert to check it carefully."

"Oh? Is that so? I understand. Let's report this to higher authorities in a bit!" Senior Brother Wan nodded solemnly.

There are quite a few low-level demonic beasts in Dragon Snake Valley. If they were to escape, they could cause quite a bit of trouble.

After a brief conversation, the two began processing the job transfer procedures for those who passed the assessment. Those who failed the assessment could not hide their envy.

Finally, Senior Brother He handed out brand-new identity tokens to Han Lin and the others: "These are your official disciple identity tokens."

This token grants access to certain special locations and has many uses, so be careful not to lose it, or you'll need to use contribution points to replace it.

"In addition, there is a very small space inside this token, similar to a miniature storage bag, which can be used to store small items such as spirit stones."

"There are also internal rules for disciples. Take some time to read them when you get back, and you'll understand what a formal disciple should do."

Does it also have tiny storage space?

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

As Senior Brother He said, although the miniature storage space is not large, it is still good for storing a small amount of spirit stones.

It's better than carrying it around in your arms, which is a huge burden.

They then bowed simultaneously and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

"Alright, from this moment on, you are officially disciples of the Guiyuan Sect. Now come with me, I'll take you to arrange your accommodations."

Senior Brother He nodded and turned to the middle-aged man: "Senior Brother Liu, I'll trouble you to make arrangements for those who didn't pass. I'll take them to the Milky Way Valley first and come back in a bit."

"Okay, Junior Brother He, you can rest assured and leave it to me." Senior Brother Liu nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's go."

Senior Brother He said no more and led everyone out the door.

Galaxy Valley is located west of the outer gate square, about ten miles away. On the way, Han Lin asked curiously, "Senior brother, is our residence actually in Galaxy Valley?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Han! Galaxy Valley was only developed this year. It's not only large in area, but also has very complete facilities. You guys are really lucky."

As he spoke, Senior Brother He couldn't hide his envy. Even the residences of these senior disciples weren't as nice as those in Galaxy Valley.

Han Lin certainly knew about Galaxy Valley, after all, it was built with his personal involvement. He just didn't expect that he would have a share of those luxury mansions.
