Time flies, and it is late summer and early autumn, and six months have passed since I came into this world.

At the end of the month, Jiang Lingyue successfully passed the assessments of the college's advanced alchemy class and elementary formation class, and was promoted to the intermediate formation class, completing the alchemy course.

As the time for the school trial approaches, the academy's assessment to screen candidates for qualification has officially begun.

With the "super memory" given by the system and 50 years of experience in alchemy, Jiang Lingyue chose herbal medicine and alchemy as two subjects for the exam in order to be safe.

On the day of the exam, Jiang Lingyue arrived at the examination room early. She was full of confidence and ready to face the challenge.

In the herbal medicine exam, Jiang Lingyue demonstrated an amazing knowledge base, easily identifying various rare herbs and knowing their medicinal properties well.

The following alchemy exam was her forte.

She operated the alchemy furnace skillfully, blending various medicinal materials together to create a furnace of top-grade exam pills, achieving the best result on the spot.

The teachers and candidates around exclaimed in shock.

After the exam, Jiang Lingyue walked out of the examination room, her heart full of anticipation. She believed that her performance would qualify her to participate in the school trial.

Three days later, the academy announced the list of participants in the trial. Jiang Lingyue arrived at the central square of the academy early in the morning and walked towards the bulletin board.

On the way, many students passed by, most of them looked dejected, obviously having failed.

When she arrived in front of the notice board, Jiang Lingyue found Lin Lige and Murong Bing in the crowd, so she waved to them. They squeezed to the notice board, eagerly searching for their names.

When she saw the name "Jiang Lingyue" on the list, she felt a surge of joy in her heart. She had successfully obtained the qualification to participate in the school trial!

Lin Lige and Murong Bing also saw Jiang Lingyue's name, and they congratulated her.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is awesome. You must do your best in this trial!" Lin Lige encouraged.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, congratulations!" Murong Bing said with a smile.

Jiang Lingyue nodded excitedly, "Hurry and see if your names are there!"

The two continued to look down, and soon found their names at the end of the notice board.

"That's great! The three of us can participate in the school trial at the same time!" Lin Lige held Jiang Lingyue and Murong Bing's hands, crying with excitement.

After questioning, it was found that Lin Lige was tested on her marksmanship and physical fitness, while Murong Bing was tested on her talismans and swordsmanship.

Just then, a familiar voice was heard.

"Tsk tsk, be careful or you may not come back."

Jiang Lingyue turned around and saw the eighth princess Jiang Lingyao standing not far away, looking at her mockingly. The loli, who looked about 13 years old, was wearing a pink dress and looked particularly dazzling compared to the followers around her.

She raised her lips slightly, "Don't worry about that, Eighth Princess. If you have the time, you should improve your own strength."

The Eighth Princess's face darkened. "Don't be too proud too soon. The trial field is not like the academy. Don't cry and beg me to save you when the time comes."

"Then we'll have to wait and see." Jiang Lingyue responded disdainfully, "By the way, Eighth Sister, don't forget our bet. When I come back from the sect trial, remember to apologize to me and my friends."

"Hmph! This princess advises you to give up as soon as possible, or you will regret it later." The eighth princess was angry, she flicked her sleeves and turned away.

"Ninth Prince, don't bother with her." Murong Bing comforted.

Jiang Lingyue smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, I won't take her words to heart."

"Well, let's go, ignore her." Lin Lige pulled Jiang Lingyue and Murong Bing, and the three of them left the square, talking and laughing, preparing for the upcoming school trial.

After the three of them left, in the distance, the fourth princess Jiang Lingyan, who was dressed in purple, withdrew her gaze, with a dark look in her eyes.

Beside him, a pretty woman in green bowed and saluted, "Your Highness the Fourth Princess, it has just been confirmed that the Ninth Princess is indeed on the trial list."

"Very good, Miss Chen, I'll trouble you to take care of the Ninth Princess." The Fourth Princess' beautiful face was filled with cruelty and ruthlessness.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness. We will find a way to take good care of the Ninth Princess." Miss Chen nodded meekly, but there was jealousy and hatred in her eyes that could not be hidden.

This Miss Chen was none other than Chen Ting, the legitimate daughter of Minister of Revenue Chen Mei, the one who almost asked Prime Minister Wen to marry Wen Yuanzhou.

With Wen Yuanzhou's status and looks, she would be happy even if she married him as a decoration. But the hateful Ninth Princess Jiang Lingyue intervened and ruined her plan. When the Fourth Princess secretly sent someone to find her and explained her intentions, she agreed to join almost without hesitation.

The fourth princess sneered, "Go down, prepare well, and don't let me down."

Chen Ting retreated respectfully, already planning in her mind how to "take care" of the Ninth Princess.

……

After Jiang Lingyue returned home, she told everyone the good news that she had passed the sect's trial selection.

When everyone heard this, they were happy for her at first, but then they couldn't help but worry.

Wen Yuanzhou looked at her worriedly, "Lingyue, I heard that there are many high-level monsters in the secret realm, and they are very dangerous. Are you sure you can go there? Do you want to reconsider it?"

Gu Yuan also looked at him with concern, "My dear wife, I am worried about your safety. I don't trust you to go alone."

Seeing the two people's worried expressions, Jiang Lingyue was quite moved. In order to reassure them, she patted their shoulders and said, "Don't worry, although my cultivation is not high, I have already prepared a magic weapon to save my life, and I will definitely come back safely."

"Besides, I'm not going alone. I'll be with disciples from other academies and sects, so we can take care of each other." Jiang Lingyue comforted.

Wen Yuanzhou and Gu Yuan felt relieved after hearing what she said.

"Okay, I'm going to prepare the items needed to enter the secret realm, and you don't have to worry too much." Jiang Lingyue smiled and turned to leave.

The personal maid Chuntao and the housekeeper Qiuju hurriedly followed, helping to prepare medicinal herbs, magical instruments, food, drinking water, clothes, talismans and other items, and then put them into the storage ring.

Three days later, everything was ready, and Jiang Lingyue's cultivation level broke through to the middle stage of Qi Refining before leaving.

Wen Yuanzhou and Gu Yuan accompanied her to the gate of the Ninth Princess's mansion, their eyes filled with reluctance.

Jiang Lingyue held Wen Yuanzhou's hands and said, "Yuanzhou, thank you for taking care of the affairs of the mansion."

"It's not hard." Wen Yuanzhou suppressed his worries and gave her a gentle smile. "Lingyue, safety is the first priority when you go to the secret realm. I'll wait for you in the mansion."

"Okay." She smiled confidently and turned to look at Gu Yuan, "Gu Yuan, take good care of our child."

Gu Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, my wife, Liang'er and I will wait for you to come back."

After saying goodbye to them, Jiang Lingyue took Chuntao and got on the carriage parked outside the courtyard gate and set off for the entrance to the secret realm of the school trial.
