The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time

Chapter 9: Clever Solutions to Difficult Problems and the Dawn of Immortality

Solve problems and develop talents, recruit talents

Li Yuan's sudden voice made Bi Yao pause and look at him in confusion.

Li Yuan just shook his head at her, signaling her to be patient.

The middle-aged man, Elder Zhao, frowned somewhat unhappily: "Young man, please do not make any noise or disrupt order during the assessment."

Li Yuan bowed and said, "Elder, please calm down. I just suddenly remembered something that may be related to this assessment, so I want to remind you." He paused, his tone slightly mysterious, "This jade slip tests more than just your character. There's... something else hidden within it."

Elder Zhao frowned even more tightly. This jade slip was made by him personally, and he knew the secret behind it best.

Is this guy trying to be mysterious?

The disciples around him also began to whisper and discuss Li Yuan's words.

Some people think he is just trying to attract attention, while others think he may have really discovered something.

Bi Yao looked at Li Yuan. Although she was confused, she still chose to believe him.

She held the jade slip in her hand, but did not inject spiritual power into it. Instead, she observed it carefully.

The jade slip is snow-white all over, feels soft to the touch, and has intricate patterns carved on its surface, making it look ordinary.

"Mystifying!" Senior Sister Sun sneered from the side, "I think this guy is just trying to buy time for this country girl. He's afraid she'll make a fool of herself."

As time passed, beads of sweat began to appear on Bi Yao's forehead.

This jade slip seemed simple, but it made her feel an invisible pressure.

The whispers around her grew louder, like countless mosquitoes buzzing in her ears.

Even Elder Zhao began to grow impatient. He cleared his throat and was about to speak when Bi Yao suddenly took a deep breath and looked at him with a determined gaze...

"Elder," Bi Yao said slowly, with a hint of inexplicable confidence in his tone, "I'm afraid this jade slip... has a problem."

Elder Zhao originally thought that Bi Yao would inject spiritual power like other seekers, and then complete the test according to the guidance of the jade slip.

Unexpectedly, she said there was something wrong with the jade slip?

Is this girl bluffing?

He was about to start scolding when he saw Bi Yao pull out a... magnifying glass from his sleeve?

!

Everyone:? ? ?

What is this thing?

Could it be some new magic weapon?

Everyone was speculating, even Li Yuan was confused, not knowing what Bi Yao was up to.

Senior Sister Sun couldn't help but sneer, "Those who come from the countryside are from the countryside. They think they can fool the elders with a piece of broken glass. It's really hilarious!"

Bi Yao ignored the ridicule of the crowd, held up a magnifying glass, and carefully observed the jade slip.

As she observed, she kept muttering to herself, "Zoom in... zoom in... zoom in again... that's right!"

Everyone: ??? Oh right? What kind of spell is this?

Bi Yao pointed to a pattern on the jade slip and said to Elder Zhao, "Elder, please look, the pattern on this jade slip is not ordinary pattern, but a kind of micro-carved text. It contains a... Sudoku game?"

"Sudoku game?" Elder Zhao and the others were confused.

Bi Yao didn't explain. He just picked up a branch and drew a nine-square grid on the ground. Then he filled in the numbers carved on the jade slip one by one.

"Elder, you see, the key to this Sudoku is..." Bi Yao quickly filled in the blanks while explaining the solution.

As the last number fell, the jade slip suddenly emitted a dazzling light and hovered in the air.

Everyone was stunned. This... this is too magical!

Senior Sister Sun, who was originally waiting to see Bi Yao make a fool of herself, now had a dark face and felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

The other seekers all looked at her with admiration. This girl is quite capable!

Elder Zhao stroked his beard, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had almost forgotten the secret of the jade slip, but he didn't expect that it would be cracked by a young girl who had just started out.

He looked at Bi Yao, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "What's your name?"

"Bi Yao."

"Well," Elder Zhao nodded, "You do have some talent, but..." He paused, his eyes falling on Bi Yao's plain clothes, "When I, Qingfeng Sect, accept disciples, not only do we value aptitude, we also value..."

"Background?" Li Yuan suddenly interrupted, with a barely perceptible coldness in his tone.

Elder Zhao stroked his beard and cast a scrutinizing gaze upon Bi Yao. "You are indeed quite clever. This is a difficult question that even many of my Qingfeng Sect disciples have been unable to solve. However..." He deliberately dragged out his words, his gaze fixed on Bi Yao's plain clothing with a hint of contempt. "When we, at Qingfeng Sect, accept disciples, we not only value aptitude, but also... background."

Li Yuan frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by Bi Yao's eyes.

She took a deep breath and replied calmly, "The elder is absolutely right. Origin is indeed important. But origin doesn't represent everything. If I were born into a prominent family, the secrets of this jade slip would have been buried. I come from a humble background, but I can discern the true essence of a gem. Isn't this another advantage of 'origin'? Origin can bring resources, but it can't bring wisdom. And wisdom is the true wealth on the path to immortality."

Bi Yao's words stunned everyone.

Even Senior Sister Sun, who had originally sneered at her, had to admit that this girl was quite something.

A hint of admiration flashed across Elder Zhao's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "You're right, but rules are rules. Considering your contribution in solving this difficult problem, I'll give you a chance. Come back to Qingfengmen in three days to accept the final test."

"The final test?" Bi Yao was delighted. It seemed that he was one step closer to joining the Immortal Sect!

Li Yuan walked up to Bi Yao, patted her shoulder gently, and said with a hint of encouragement: "I knew you could do it!" There was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, as if he was happier than Bi Yao herself.

Bi Yao felt Li Yuan's sincerity, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She looked at him gratefully and nodded firmly: "Yes!"

Three days later, Bi Yao came to Qingfengmen again.

This time, she did not meet Elder Zhao, but was taken to a quiet bamboo forest by a young disciple.

"Miss Bi, please." The disciple pointed to a path deep in the bamboo forest. "The elder is waiting for you inside."

Bi Yao took a deep breath and walked into the bamboo forest.

Deep in the bamboo forest, the fog was lingering and the road ahead was unclear.

"The final test...what exactly is it?" Bi Yao muttered to himself.

Suddenly, she felt a strange breath coming from behind her...

"Who?!" Bi Yao turned around suddenly, but saw only an empty bamboo forest.

"Is it an illusion?"

At this moment, a deep voice came from the front: "You, are finally here..."

The air is thick with mist and the shadows of bamboos are dancing.

Bi Yao looked around vigilantly, but only heard the voice but did not see the person.

The voice just now was eerie and sounded very much like the evil cultivator described in the vernacular novels.

No way, is it such a big deal?

Is it really a risk to just get in?

"Come out, stop playing tricks!" Bi Yao shouted pretending to be calm, but sweat was oozing out of his palms unconsciously.

She quietly circulated her internal energy and prepared to escape at any time.

After all, saving your life is the most important thing, and among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!

"Hehehe..." The low laughter sounded again, as if coming from all directions, making it unpredictable.

"Little girl, you're quite alert."

The fog gradually dissipated, and a man in black clothes and with a pale face appeared in front of Bi Yao.

This man looks...how should I put it, a bit like a modern vampire, with a feminine temperament, and it's obvious at first glance that he's not a serious person.

"Who are you? Are you a role-playing player?" Bi Yao blurted out and regretted it right after he said it.

What the hell is this place? Where is the role-playing?

Is this popular in the world of cultivating immortals?

She coughed awkwardly, trying to save the situation, "Ahem, I mean, this...senior, what advice do you have for me?"

The man in black smiled an evil smile. "I don't deserve your advice. I just want to see if you are worthy of being... my prey."

prey?

!

Bi Yao's inner alarm bells rang, this was not the right direction!

Where is the test you promised?

How did it become hunted?

Elder Zhao, please come out and explain yourself to me!

Could this Qingfengmen be a shady shop?

!

The man in black flashed and instantly appeared in front of Bi Yao. He stretched out his pale fingers and grabbed her fiercely.

"Want to catch me? No way!" Bi Yao reacted quickly, dodged the attack, and threw out a handful of talismans from his sleeve.

"Taste my power!"

The talisman paper burned in the air, turning into streaks of fire that attacked the man in black.

"A mere trifle." The man in black snorted disdainfully and extinguished the fire with a wave of his hand.

"Oh my god, so strong!" Bi Yao thought to himself that this was not good. It seemed that he had hit a wall this time.

She turned around and wanted to run, but found that she had been restrained by an invisible force.

"Want to run? It's too late." The man in black approached step by step, with greed flashing in his eyes.

"I like your spiritual roots very much..."

At this moment, a clear voice came from a distance: "Stop!"

Li Yuan came riding on a sword.
