"What exactly do you want to do?" she couldn't help but ask herself.
“I can send myself to the summit. Similarly, if you share the burden of spiritual energy, it won’t be difficult for the three of us to reach the summit together,” Mu Zhian said.
“Even so, the Third Prince and Gongsun Cheng’s men are still looking for us outside. Activating the formation will definitely be detected,” Ye Lingxuan said softly, her brows slightly furrowed.
Once they find out, given their personalities, they will definitely stop them.
"Have you ever heard the saying?" Mu Zhian turned his head to look at Ye Lingxuan.
"what?"
"Unity is strength." Mu Zhian grinned, revealing a warm and welcoming smile.
Silent all night.
The next afternoon.
Outside the Forest of Trials, three cultivators stood in mid-air. The man looked like a sage, while the girl with an oval face was stunning at first glance.
If they were walking in the mortal world, probably no one would think that these three people were cultivators who had lived for hundreds of years.
Yi Huayun, the head of the Medicinal Cuisine Pavilion on Canghai Peak, stood with his hands behind his back, his face solemn, looking down at the Trial Forest, and sighed:
"Senior brother, how many disciples do you think will pass the assessment at Canghai Peak this time?"
The senior brother that Yi Huayun mentioned was the middle-aged man in a black robe, Yi Hao, the head of Canghai Peak.
He looked down at the bronze mirror in front of him, shook his head and sighed, "It would be a blessing if there were three or four people."
He paused, then continued, "I don't know what Master is thinking. The sect's assessment is held every few years, and only three or four disciples pass each time. If this continues, our Canghai Peak may become extinct."
Despite being under immense psychological pressure, Yi Hao surprisingly still had the inclination to joke around.
The formation of Canghai Peak was created by the master of this chief, who was also the first chief.
The sect's assessment was also conducted by that same master.
In the first year of creating the assessment content, Yi Hao mentioned to his master that most Qi Refining disciples would not be able to complete such assessment content.
However, the master did not listen to advice. After saying "Canghai Peak only accepts demons," he turned and left.
That year, Yi Hao was eighteen years old. He stood there like a lackey, with no say whatsoever, and could only obey his master's words.
However, even though he has now become the head disciple, he still cannot change the situation and can only watch as the number of disciples on Canghai Peak decreases year by year.
There shouldn't be any problems for the next few decades, but if this continues to be delayed, I'm afraid the number of disciples at Canghai Peak will decrease in the future.
"If there are still only three or four people this year, we must change the content and difficulty of the next sect assessment no matter what," Yi Hao muttered to himself.
The difficulty of this assessment is completely different from that of other main peaks, and it is unfair.
If word gets out, who will want to participate in the Canghai Peak assessment in the future?
Wouldn't it be better to take the assessment at other main peaks, where the difficulty is lower?
To put it simply, the score tangent line of Canghai Peak is higher than that of other main peaks, and it is more difficult to pass the exam.
Yi Huayun glanced at his senior brother and sighed helplessly inwardly.
That's what they say, but persuading that master won't be so easy.
At this moment, the youngest of the three junior sisters suddenly stared at the image in the bronze mirror with suspicion and said, "Strange... why are all these assessment disciples gathered in one place?"
The two looked over and discovered that the disciples who had been like a scattered pile of sand and occasionally clashed with each other yesterday were now all moving towards a certain cave entrance this afternoon.
At the entrance of the cave, a disciple who was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining was standing there, chatting with the other disciples who were arriving one after another with a smile on his face.
Not far from him, a pair of stunningly beautiful sisters stood in a corner watching him.
Clearly, these candidates were drawn here by the prospect of being selected for the exam.
Yi Hao stared at the boy in the bronze mirror, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Where does a mere Qi Refining Stage 5 cultivator get such a huge following?"
“He is Mu Zhi’an, the eldest young master of the Mu family in Tianxuan City. According to the list given by Junior Sister Lan, he has amazing talent, but he was once indulging in lust and depravity for a period of time. Compared to his cultivation, he is actually more intelligent.” The junior sister next to her explained in a low voice.
"Oh?"
Yi Hao became somewhat interested and couldn't help but take a second look at Mu Zhian in the bronze mirror.
To receive such praise from that genius junior sister, Mu Zhi'an must truly possess some extraordinary qualities.
Most of the disciples participating in the assessment were from families of cultivators or even sons of powerful officials in the court, and they were extremely arrogant.
Yesterday, after entering the Forest of Trials, quite a few frictions arose between us.
However, Mu Zhian managed to get them to temporarily put aside their prejudices and gather together... In that sense, he does have some skill.
However, what is the purpose of gathering most of the examinees in one place?
Yi Hao stared at the bronze mirror, his eyes flickering slightly.
After a long pause, he suddenly chuckled softly.
"It seems that this sect assessment shouldn't be too boring."
Chapter 91 Mu Zhian's Revenge Doesn't Wait Overnight 3K
The sun shines brightly, but the autumn wind carries a hint of bleakness.
Lan Mulian led Bai Ruoxi and Wei Mengrou to a magnificent and ancient palace. Not far ahead, there was a huge platform. Although it was already autumn, pink peach blossoms were in full bloom on both sides, showing its charming and affectionate side.
"Please wait here for a while. The assessments of the nine main peaks should be almost over in about half a day," Lan Mulian said.
"What about him?" Wei Mengrou asked casually.
“Young Master Mu’s strength is average, but he is very clever, so there shouldn’t be any problems.” Lan Mulian smiled slightly. “Even if he fails, as long as he withdraws, an elder will naturally take him up the mountain.”
After all, Mu Zhian was already confirmed to be a student exempt from the entrance exam from the very beginning.
Bai Ruoxi gave a reserved "hmm," then said with concern, "I'm still a little worried. Why would he suddenly want to participate in the sect's assessment?"
"By the way, if I remember correctly, the Ye sisters, who are close to him, and Miss Huang from the Morning Dawn Chamber of Commerce were there. Could it be that he was worried about them, which is why he went to take the assessment?" He asked casually.
Lan Mulian raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Since Miss Bai is worried about him, I will go to Canghai Peak to take a look."
Perfect timing, she also wanted to see how Mu Zhian performed.
……
That evening.
After Mu Zhian explained the advantages and disadvantages to the disciples who were taking the test in the Trial Forest of Canghai Peak, he immediately gained the approval of most of them.
The nine main peaks of the Liangyi Sect each have a test that is highly random, and many people were in despair when they heard about the test content of Canghai Peak.
Ultimately, it is virtually impossible for a Qi Refining cultivator to climb to the summit of Canghai Peak on their own.
But the eldest son of the Mu family said he could bring all the participants of this assessment to the summit... on the condition that he would need to borrow their spiritual energy.
Many people were skeptical when they heard this.
After all, simply providing spiritual energy is enough to pass the test... which is practically the same as getting something for free.
Those who are able to participate in the sect's assessment are not fools, and they don't quite believe that Mu Zhian would be so willing to help others.
"Young Master Mu, is what you just said true?" A soft and pleasant voice floated over from the crowd; it was Huang Manting, the enchantress from the Morning Dawn Chamber of Commerce.
"You've cracked a tiny bit of the array in this forest, and with that tiny bit, you think you can lead us out of here?"
Mu Zhian smiled calmly: "What benefit would I get from gathering everyone here here just to lie to you?"
Everyone fell silent.
Indeed, putting aside whether Mu Zhian was lying or not, if what he just said was a lie, wasn't he afraid of being attacked by the crowd for teasing these assessment disciples?
Mu Zhian dared to say such a thing, so he probably really had some confidence.
Huang Manting stared silently at Mu Zhian, then suddenly smiled sweetly: "Alright, since Young Master Mu has brought it up so much, then I'll play along to the end."
"Anyway, I don't lose anything."
As soon as these words were spoken, people began to echo them, fearing that if they doubted Mu Zhian now, they would regret it later when they saw him actually leave with a group of people.
Anyway, just like Huang Manting said, they were only contributing their efforts and didn't suffer any losses.
Mu Zhian looked at the nearly thirty people in front of him with a smile and said, "Then, everyone, please follow me."
After walking for nearly half an hour with a group of people, Mu Zhian arrived at the front of the meditation formation where he had meditated the day before.
He turned to look at the crowd, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, “Everyone, the preparation for the ceremony will take one to two hours. Please be patient and protect me while you wait.”
“If Young Master Mu can really lead us away from this place, we will definitely repay this kindness in the future,” someone in the crowd suddenly said.
"Young Master Mu, please rest assured that no one will disturb your preparations during this time, as this matter is of great importance."
"If anyone disturbs us... humph." The man snorted coldly, his tone filled with murderous intent.
It's no wonder, after all, this is arguably the most important thing in one's life. Once you join the Liangyi Sect, even a chicken can become a phoenix.
If the formation fails because Mu Zhian was disturbed, these people will be so angry that they'll hang the other person up and beat them to a pulp.
"Then I'll have to trouble you all," Mu Zhian said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he sat cross-legged under the big tree, leisurely squinting his eyes, seemingly preparing in a serious manner, but in reality he was just taking a nap.
Ye Lingxuan sat quietly beside Mu Zhian, hugging her knees. Next to her was her younger sister, Ye Qian.
The sisters were quite attractive, but for the disciples present, passing the sect's assessment was the most important thing. When they realized that the sisters had a close relationship with Mu Zhian, everyone put away their ulterior motives.
"How long will it take to prepare the formation?" Ye Lingxuan suddenly asked telepathically. She was very close to Mu Zhian, so she could tell at a glance that Mu Zhian was simply dozing off.
Mu Zhian opened his eyes, looked at the many disciples sitting on the ground not far away, and chuckled, "Anytime is fine."
Ye Lingxuan transmitted her voice, "If that's the case, why not just leave...? Are you perhaps lying to them?"
"I didn't lie to them. I don't like lying," Mu Zhian said with a shake of his head and a smile.
Ye Lingxuan looked at Mu Zhian with a smile and transmitted her voice, "You're so glib. You know perfectly well whether you're lying or not."
Mu Zhian turned his head to look at her. Ye Lingxuan, a young girl in her prime, already looked like she was about to become a stunning beauty. A thin ribbon outlined her slender waist, and her delicate face, paired with beautiful eyes and slightly pursed, moist lips, made her look quite alluring.
"Do you think my admiration for you is a lie?" Mu Zhian asked Ye Lingxuan via telepathy.
Caught off guard by this direct question, Ye Lingxuan was momentarily unsure whether to be angry or embarrassed. After a long silence, noticing the teasing in her eyes, she became somewhat displeased and asked:
