Stepping into the city, crowds bustled around, and shouts of vendors echoed in his ears.
As soon as he entered the city, Ye Lin's eyes scanned the surroundings, looking for that small stall.
The panel indicated that the Elder would appear tomorrow, and he couldn't be entirely sure he'd encounter him by coming today.
At this moment, Ye Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
He saw a young man in a gray robe cautiously looking around, then taking out various bottles and jars from his Pregnant and setting up a stall.
Ye Lin stepped forward.
"Little brother, here to find treasures, are you? Feel free to choose.
These items were all brought out from various ancient ruins, they are all things from ancient Immortal cultivators."
Listening to the young man in front of him boast, Ye Lin completely ignored him.
Ancient ruins were Immortal Caves where ancient Immortal cultivators had fallen.
They were filled with endless traps and mechanisms.
Let alone the young man in front of him, even a Golden Core Stage expert wouldn't dare claim to leave unscathed.
Moreover, the young man in front of him was clearly just a Mortal.
"Boss, how much for this?"
Ye Lin picked up a small blue box and placed it in front of the young man.
"This one, ah, I brought this out from the ruins after a near-death experience.
Inside, there's an Immortal Pill that can help you enter the Immortal Sect."
"If it's an Immortal Pill, why don't you open it and consume it yourself?"
Ye Lin said with a mocking expression.
After he finished speaking, the exposed young man clearly looked a bit embarrassed.
These items couldn't be opened; once opened, they wouldn't fetch a good price, just like opening a blind box.
However, he was very clear about the origin of these items.
Forget Immortal Pills, it would be good if they weren't poison once opened.
Otherwise, why would he even bother setting up a stall?
"Boss, give me a price.
This small box looks quite exquisite; I'll take it back as an ornament."
"Since you're sincere, little brother, how about five Low-Grade Spirit Stones?"
After the young man finished speaking, Ye Lin looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Five Low-Grade Spirit Stones? He had the nerve to ask for that much.
"I'm in a hurry, just one Low-Grade Spirit Stone."
Ye Lin finished speaking, threw a Low-Grade Spirit Stone to the young man, and then walked towards the city.
He opened the box, and inside lay a yellow Talisman, shimmering with mysterious patterns.
Ye Lin then placed the Talisman on his chest.
Along the way, various panels appeared before Ye Lin's eyes.
In the city, there were quite a few Loose Cultivators.
Although these Loose Cultivators were only at the Qi Training First or Second Layer, some of them had incredibly astonishing luck.
Ye Lin just wanted to try his luck.
"Damn, I made a fortune, a big spender!"
The young man looked at the Spirit Stone in his hand, laughing heartily.
He had intended to haggle, and even selling it for one or two silver coins would have been a huge profit.
He never expected to actually get a Spirit Stone.
The value of a Low-Grade Spirit Stone far exceeded common items like silver.
But how could he know the value of a Talisman that could unleash a full-power attack from a Qi Training Ninth Layer cultivator?
After walking around and finding nothing particularly striking, Ye Lin felt a bit disappointed and then headed towards the Sect.
Upon arriving at the Sect, Ye Lin walked towards his residence.
He was currently short on time.
Although the Talisman gave him peace of mind, external objects were ultimately just external objects.
"I'll Cultivate for three days.
After three days, I'll secure the status of an Outer Sect Disciple.
By then, even if Zhang Xiao comes out of seclusion and I can't defeat him, he won't dare to openly try to kill me."
There were two paths to becoming an Outer Sect Disciple.
The first was to defeat a current Outer Sect Disciple, and the second was to pass the Outer Sect Trial.
He couldn't take the first path because the cause of Zhao Hu and the other two's deaths had not yet been determined, and the commotion hadn't died down.
If he were to suddenly defeat an old Outer Sect Disciple and become a new one, it would inevitably attract attention.
He could only take the second path, the Outer Sect Trial.
Once he passed the Outer Sect Trial, he would be a qualified Outer Sect Disciple, and there would also be a reward of three Spirit Pills.
What's more, for the Outer Sect Trial, one only needed to have a Qi Training Fourth Layer cultivation.
A Qi Training Fourth Layer cultivator killing three Qi Training Fifth Layer cultivators was something no one would believe possible.
This would also help him hide himself better.
In a flash, three days passed.
During these three days, Ye Lin successfully cultivated the Three Swords of Life and Death to the First Layer Perfection.
Once this sword was unleashed, even a cultivator at the same Sixth Layer would not dare to take it head-on.
"Next, it's time to pass the Outer Sect Trial."
Ye Lin stood up and walked towards the Outer Sect office.
Upon arriving at the Outer Sect office, he saw two young Disciples lying at the entrance, sound asleep.
They were responsible for all matters concerning the office.
"Two Senior Brothers, I'm here to participate in the Outer Sect Trial."
At this, Ye Lin cupped his fists towards the two in front of him.
Upon hearing this, one of them lazily opened his eyes.
"You're a handyman supervisor, aren't you? Why aren't you diligently doing your job as a handyman supervisor? What are you doing here joining the fun?"
One of the Disciples scoffed.
"I've long admired the Outer Sect Disciples, and today I've come to give it a try."
Ye Lin still kept his head down, his tone serious.
"Alright, three Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and we'll arrange it for you."
After the Disciple finished speaking, Ye Lin slowly raised his head.
"How come I've never heard that participating in the Outer Sect Trial requires three Low-Grade Spirit Stones?"
Seeing Ye Lin's expression, one of the Disciples frowned and said impatiently,
"It's a newly established rule.
Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry would come to participate in the Outer Sect Trial, and it would be chaotic, wouldn't it?"
"Do you have them or not? If not, hurry up and scram.
You're wasting our time."
At this moment, Ye Lin's eyes narrowed, and a panel appeared before him.
Name: Wushuang
Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Sixth Level
Fate: White (Ordinary)
Destiny: 【Slightly Lucky】
Fate: Six months later, he was ordered to descend the mountain to eliminate demons, and was drained of all his essence blood by an evil demon on the way, dying.
Recent Opportunity: Feeling that he was about to Breakthrough to the Qi Training Seventh Layer, he went to the Dark Gold Yao Beast Cave two days later for a life-and-death trial.
After single-handedly killing three Qi Training Fifth Level Yao Beasts, he discovered a Xuan Grade Low-Rank blood soul fruit inside the Yao Beast Cave.
After refining it, his Divine Soul was greatly enhanced.
【Slightly Lucky】: Good luck often allows you to turn danger into safety when encountering a crisis, and you always pick up something while walking on the road.
Looking at Wushuang's Opportunity, Ye Lin's heart trembled.
It was actually a treasure that could enhance the Divine Soul.
Such a treasure was rare and hard to come by.
The Divine Soul was the foundation of a person.
A powerful Divine Soul brought endless benefits, such as enhanced Comprehension Ability.
If an evil cultivator were to launch a spiritual attack on you, a powerful Divine Soul could directly immunity such an attack, making it incredibly abnormal.
"What are you standing there for? If you don't have Spirit Stones, hurry up and scram.
You're wasting my time."
Seeing Ye Lin motionless, Wushuang's patience gradually wore thin.
After all, he was just a small handyman supervisor; where would he get so many Spirit Stones?
"Here are three Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
Immediately, Ye Lin took out three Low-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Wushuang.
Seeing this, Wushuang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly put away the Spirit Stones.
"Very good, not bad, follow me."
Ye Lin then followed Wushuang to an open space.
In the open space, three huge Puppets, each two meters tall, were arranged.
"To become an Outer Sect Disciple, your cultivation must be at least at the Qi Training Fourth Layer.
I see you're at Qi Training Fourth Layer, so you've passed the first stage."
"The second stage is to defeat three Qi Training Fourth Layer Puppets."
Wushuang looked at the spiritual energy fluctuations on Ye Lin's body, which belonged to the Qi Training Fourth Layer, secretly nodded, and then said,
"Alright, the trial begins."
After Wushuang finished speaking, he pressed a nearby Zhu Zi.
Immediately, the three two-meter-tall Puppets in the open space began to move.
