Si Lei Zhenjun

Three days later.

Wangxian City.

The afterglow of the setting sun casts a thin layer of golden gauze over the courtyard.

"You have passed the first two levels of the Yunxiao Sect entrance examination, both of you are very good."

The Ghost Eyed Old Man smiled gently as he looked at the dozen or so high-spirited young geniuses in front of him:

"But don't let your guard down. Tomorrow's illusion level will be your most severe test."

"Illusionary Level?"

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Someone respectfully asked:

"Ghost Guardian, how did you know that tomorrow would be an illusion test? The examiner didn't mention it after today's Dao Heart Test."

"Haha," the Ghost Eyed Old Man chuckled softly and said complacently, "This guardian not only knows that this is an illusion, but also knows that this level is a test of your character."

As he spoke, he took out a thin booklet and held it high:

"Do you know what this is?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

The Ghost Eyed Old Man is at ease:

"The content of the third level's test."

"What's the content of the test?" everyone exclaimed.

"That's right!" said the Ghost Eyes Old Man.

"This was obtained at great expense by this guardian in order to help you pass the third level."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with admiration.

"He can even get the questions for the Immortal Sect's entrance examination. The guardian is truly all-powerful. I admire him!"

The Ghost-Eyed Old Man was quite pleased.

He would not tell everyone that the content of this assessment was actually what he had just bought from an old man dressed as a scholar at the black market of immortal cultivators in the city for 10,000 spirit stones.

The old man claimed that he was selling the products on behalf of an elder of the Yunxiao Sect, so there would be no fakes, and he even guaranteed to compensate ten times the price if the products were fake.

He bought one with the attitude of "it's better to believe it than not to believe it".

Anyway, the other party was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he had secretly left a mark on the other party.

If the test is false, he can find the other party at any time.

He waved his hand lightly and said calmly:

"Time is of the essence. Don't waste it on meaningless arguments."

"This third stage tests your character. You will all be trapped in a fantasy scenario where your parents were murdered at home. Although the authorities have apprehended the murderer, they are unable to convict him due to lack of evidence and have no choice but to release him.

"The murderer is extremely fierce and ruthless. Ordinary people are no match for him. Your family is a wealthy family in the city. Faced with such a situation, what would you do?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

After a while, a handsome young man stepped forward and said confidently:

"This level is a test of character. Regardless of whether it's the Immortal Sect or the Imperial Court, they all like to follow the rules when doing things. I believe we should quietly search for evidence, and once we find it, submit it directly to the authorities to bring the murderer to justice."

Hearing this, the Ghost Eyed Old Man frowned, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the answer.

However, the person in front of him was the first to come out and answer. In order not to dampen the enthusiasm of those behind him, he did not reprimand him. Instead, he asked in a calm tone:

"What if we can't find any evidence? Even those skilled detectives haven't found any evidence, so what makes you think you can?"

"This..." The handsome young man opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

"Protector," a tall, radiant woman stepped forward and saluted respectfully. "The Yunxiao Sect has always been known for its erratic thinking and sinister deception, very different from other righteous sects. I believe the correct approach is definitely not as simple as this senior brother suggests."

The ghost-eyed old man smiled and nodded at her, waiting for what to say next.

The beautiful woman pondered for a moment and continued:

"The murder of my father and mother must be avenged. Since the government route is not feasible, and that man is extremely ferocious, we are no match for him in a head-on fight. I think we should devise a plan to kill him with poison."

"Protector," the handsome young man immediately stood up to refute:

"I think this junior sister's actions are too extreme and there is no way she can pass the test.

This test is about character, after all, and the Yunxiao Sect is a righteous sect, so they would certainly disdain such a despicable act as poisoning."

"Tsk," the beautiful woman sneered.

"Brother, haven't you ever privately investigated the Yunxiao Sect? They may be an immortal sect, but when they encounter an opponent they can't defeat, they resort to even more despicable means. So what's poisoning?

Moreover, you are too inflexible. Although this level is a test of character, when Yunxiao Sect recruits disciples, it must want to recruit a group of like-minded people.

"Senior Brother is so conservative, I'm afraid even if he successfully infiltrates the Yunxiao Sect, his identity will be exposed because he doesn't fit in."

"You..." The handsome young man was choked and speechless. He could only stare at the other person fiercely.

"Okay, stop arguing."

The Ghost Eyed Old Man frowned and raised his hand to stop the two people arguing. He then glanced at the rest of the group and said:

"What do the rest of you think?"

"Protector," a tall, thin, square-faced young man stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "I believe that although the Yunxiao Sect often commits despicable acts like poisoning, doing so in public is ultimately inappropriate."

The ghost-eyed old man nodded slightly, indicating that he should continue.

The square-faced young man pondered for a moment, then continued:

"Since his family is wealthy in the city, and money talks, we can just use the money to hire a few assassins to get rid of him. Why do we have to do it ourselves?"

The Ghost Eyes Old Man didn't say anything, but looked around again:

"Does anyone have anything to add?"

After waiting for half a minute and seeing that no one spoke, he continued:

"In that case, let me tell you what I think."

"Poisoning is too radical, and hiring someone to kill someone is not a righteous act. Since you want to infiltrate the Yunxiao Sect, you should first ingrain the law-abiding into your bones."

"The correct thing for you to do is to bribe the officials with money so that they can fabricate evidence and bring the murderer to justice."

"But isn't bribing officials illegal?" the square-faced man asked hesitantly.

The ghost-eyed old man looked at him as if he were a fool and said:

“If the judges are bribed, what law can they break?

Just like you said just now, this level is not so much a test of character as it is to recruit a group of disciples who share the same ideals as the Yunxiao Sect.

The Yunxiao Sect does things in an unconventional way, and often does not pay attention to the process, but only to the results.

At least this is a good outcome; the murderer received the punishment he deserved, and I will not be held accountable by the government."

"The protector is wise!" everyone praised in unison.

The ghost-eyed old man couldn't help but raise his lips, and pressed his hands:

"Alright, stop flattering me. I still have something to tell you."

The scene suddenly became quiet.

The Ghost Eyes Old Man continued:

"After you successfully infiltrate the Yunxiao Sect, the only thing you need to do is to quickly understand the internal situation of the Yunxiao Sect. If you encounter any difficulties that you cannot solve on your own, you can go to Chuyun Gorge to find a disciple named Wei Shan."

Having said this, the Ghost Eyes Old Man paused for a moment, then added solemnly:

“Also, there is one thing I must remind you of.

Although you have taken a special foundation-building pill and used it to transform your cultivation, you still need to be careful.

After all, there are many knowledgeable people in the Yunxiao Sect, and they might be able to see some clues that you have practiced magic.

Therefore, when seeking a disciple, it is best to avoid those respected elders and the heads of various bloodlines to avoid unnecessary trouble and suspicion.

do you understand? "

"Yes!" Everyone bowed their heads and saluted.
