It turns out, they were the main characters.

“There’s basically no threat,” Regina replied calmly via telepathy.

She appeared gentle and delicate, yet the confidence in her words was extremely arrogant.

However, neither the young people nor the elders around them were too surprised.

It's not surprising that this top genius of the Southern Wilderness is a bit arrogant.

"It seems that there are only so many geniuses in the Eastern Continent," the young man grinned.

"The geniuses of some ancient aristocratic families should not be underestimated; we cannot be careless," the elder beside them reminded them telepathically.

Regina nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and said, "The Liangyi Sect is a holy land for cultivators in the Eastern Continent. There's no reason why we haven't encountered a single genius."

"Elder, please wait outside for a moment while I go into the Glazed Palace to take a look."

“I’ll go with you,” the young man said immediately.

As the two stepped inside, the disciples in the Glazed Palace all turned their attention to the two geniuses from another realm.

The cultivation system in the Southern Wilderness is completely different from that in the Eastern Continent. The Southern Wilderness is determined to win first place in the Ascension Tournament and will definitely send the top geniuses of their clans to this place.

These two are probably the geniuses of the Southern Wilderness.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Regina simply responded with a gentle smile.

Her graceful figure, slender and elegant, coupled with her slightly sickly demeanor and gentle smile, easily won people's hearts.

"Refining Spirit Grade 3, Refining Spirit Grade 4..."

"Ninth Rank of Qi Refining..."

"Second Grade God Refining."

Regina walked along the lakeside, seemingly visiting the Glazed Palace, but in reality, her gaze was fixed on the disciples around her with great interest.

Soon, a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

Logically speaking, the Liangyi Sect should not lack even a single true prodigy... However, from the moment I entered the Liangyi Sect until now, at least among the disciples who joined the sect this year, I have indeed not seen a single genius.

Are they all in seclusion or what?

The young man beside him also glanced around, then inadvertently glanced at the sickly young lady in the low-cut white dress next to him.

Judging from the saintess's expression, are there no cultivators here who are of interest to her?

Just as the young man was thinking this, he suddenly heard Regina make a puzzled "Eh?" sound, her gaze fixed in a certain direction.

He followed the gaze and saw a young man dressed in a black and gold robe. He seemed to be in a good mood, with a gentle smile on his face.

That's understandable. The winner of the bet two days ago was Mu Zhi'an. After comforting the Ye sisters and confirming that they were going into seclusion to receive the inheritance, he just went to Liangyi Peak and chatted with his senior sister, Fei Ying, for a while.

Now it was time to return to Tianhe Garden and propose the 'conditions' for winning the bet to his maid.

"Sister Mengrou would definitely look beautiful in black and white stockings..." Mu Zhian thought to himself again, just as he was about to step into Tianhe Garden.

At that moment, he suddenly felt two slightly unfamiliar gazes and turned his head to look over.

They were two people who had never met before.

The woman had pale skin and a sickly demeanor. Her low-cut dress revealed glimpses of her fair complexion, and the proportions of her shoulders and neck were just right. Coupled with her hair gently draped over her shoulders, she perfectly presented the image of a frail young lady.

The young man beside him... can be summed up in one sentence: not as handsome as him.

She's spying on my body...? As a born spirit, Mu Zhi'an quickly sensed something and glanced at the seemingly sickly Southern Wilderness Saintess.

Then, a slight smile of pleasure curved his lips as he smiled and nodded at them before walking into Tianhe Garden.

Regina gazed in the direction Mu Zhian had left, remaining silent, though a hint of doubt lingered in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, the young man frowned and asked, "Holy Maiden, is that person very powerful?"

"So-so, only at the third level of Refining Spirit." Regina's melodious voice rang out.

"Why is the saintess staring at him?"

“His primordial spirit is very interesting.” Regina said this, glancing casually at the plaque of ‘Tianhe Garden’.

Although his strength was only so-so, the composition of that person's cauldron was quite peculiar. It was not composed of a single type of spiritual energy, but rather several types.

Even his physical condition is quite complex.

Moreover, he couldn't see what would happen to him in the past or future... it seemed as if his secrets had been blocked.

It seems that he has a powerful figure secretly protecting him.

"An interesting primordial spirit...?" the young man repeated, then, seeing the saintess's intrigued gaze as she observed Tianhe Garden, he shook his head and chuckled:

"An interesting primordial spirit, but it won't affect this Ascension Ceremony."

Then he continued, "Holy Maiden, let's go back first."

"That's true."

Regina smiled calmly, about to turn her gaze away and leave.

Just as she was about to look away, she suddenly seemed to realize something, and her gaze froze on the main gate of Tianhe Garden.

After a brief hesitation, her body trembled slightly.

The young man also noticed the saintess's unusual behavior and couldn't help but call out, "Saintess—"

However, before she could finish speaking, Regina said in a slightly trembling voice:

"There seems to be something in this villa."

Chapter 233 Cultivation Technique Test 4.5K

What's in the villa...?

Upon hearing Regina's words, the young man frowned slightly and said, "What could a cultivator at the third level of the Divine Refinement stage possibly have in his villa that would concern the Holy Maiden?"

However, Regina did not answer, but stared at the villa with suspicion and uncertainty. Then she made a decision immediately and said, "Let's go back first."

For the first time, a sense of fear, along with curiosity about the boy, arose in her heart.

Logically speaking, the people living in this Glazed Palace should all be disciples who have recently joined the sect... But her feeling just now was absolutely correct; there was definitely something terrifying in this Tianhe Garden.

This matter requires careful consideration.

……

Mu Zhian was unaware of what was happening outside. At this moment, he was sitting in a quiet little garden, watching the maid pouring tea for him and admiring her slender and graceful figure.

Because Wei Mengrou was slightly bent over, Mu Zhian was able to see some things from his perspective that he wouldn't normally be able to see.

Indeed, a glimpse is far more beautiful than complete exposure...

As Mu Zhian sipped his tea, he sighed inwardly.

These past few days, he would occasionally find time to cultivate with Bai Ruoxi or the fairy in the green dress. Of course, he would always do it carefully so that neither of them would notice.

In Mu Zhian's view, the most wonderful thing about dual cultivation is not the result, but the process, and even the 'things' that happen before the process.

Seemingly sensing the boy's gaze, Wei Mengrou frowned slightly, placed one fair hand in front of her chest, and parted her rosy lips slightly, coldly saying:

"What are you looking at?"

"What, you won't let me see?" Mu Zhian looked at Wei Mengrou's disdainful gaze and laughed, "That's only because Sister Mengrou is pretty. I wouldn't even look at anyone else."

Wei Mengrou gave a cold laugh, clearly knowing her young master's character perfectly well.

Mu Zhian didn't mind at all. He gently patted the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and have a cup of tea."

Wei Mengrou glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that he seemed sincere, she finally nodded gently, pressed her skirt, and sat down not far from Mu Zhian.

Then, as if she had sensed something, Wei Mengrou looked up slightly at the outside, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhian asked.

"It seems like someone is spying on us," Wei Mengrou said.

"Ignore them, let them watch." Mu Zhian smiled, then turned his gaze back to Wei Mengrou.

Seemingly uncomfortable with being stared at like that, Wei Mengrou frowned slightly, glanced at him again, and said, "If you keep looking, don't blame me for being impolite."

Mu Zhian took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Speaking of which, does Sister Mengrou still remember the bet from a couple of days ago?"

Almost the instant she finished speaking, Wei Mengrou's body visibly stiffened slightly.

Mu Zhian's lips curled slightly as he said, "Has Sister Mengrou forgotten?"

After a brief silence, Wei Mengrou asked, "What...what conditions do you want to propose?"

She panicked... Mu Zhian put down her teacup, intending to speak.

At this moment, Bai Ruoxi, who had just gone inside to tidy her clothes, came out of the room, looked up at Mu Zhian who was in the villa intending to make some specific 'conditions', and said softly:

"Mulang, shall we go to the library now?"

There is a cultivation technique test being held in the library today, and this test may very well affect a cultivator's future life.

I almost forgot about that... Mu Zhian looked at the yellow-skirted maid with her full bosom, who seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Looks like I'll have to wait until I get back to slowly... flirt.

Hmm... If I make that request, I wonder if Sister Mengrou will get so angry that she'll just draw her sword and kill me. I need to be careful... Mu Zhian thought to himself.

If a cultivator at the eighth level of the Spirit Refinement realm were to make a move, it would be difficult for him to retaliate. At most, he could only summon the Pure World Green Lotus and the Eight Desolate Dream Map to buy some time.

However, Wei Mengrou's cultivation technique is very mysterious, coupled with her Refining Spirit Realm ability that is like a ghost following her, making it extremely difficult to escape her pursuit.

Of course, Mu Zhian still trusted the maid.

As long as she doesn't go too far, she shouldn't do anything too outrageous.

I guess so……

……

Library.

At this moment, many disciples are already undergoing this test of their cultivation technique in the main hall on the first floor of the library.

The so-called cultivation method test is actually a test of how well the cultivator is compatible with the cultivation method they have obtained.

People are born with an 'affinity' for certain specific techniques.
