The Little Fairy of Glazed Glass

"This girl is not only quite strong, but also incredibly lucky. She actually got a bye when she was supposed to be in the top three. What good luck!" A fat old man sitting next to Huo Meng on the viewing platform said with a smile.

"My chosen disciple is certainly lucky, but it's a bit of a pity that the boy ran into that sword-wielding kid and they both ended up getting hurt. His luck is really not good." Huo Meng clicked his tongue, first happy and then disappointed.

"That's true. If we hadn't met them beforehand, both of these kids would have been in the top three. They have great potential, especially the one with the sword on his back. His sword intent is sharp and fierce. He cultivates his sword skills with his own body. Not bad, not bad at all." The smiling old man said "not bad" several times in a row, clearly having high hopes for the sword-carrying boy.

"What, you've taken a liking to that young man and are considering taking him as a disciple?" Huo Meng's eyes lit up as he asked with some curiosity.

"Good seedlings are rare, so now that we've come across one, we shouldn't let it slip away," the fat old man said with some emotion.

"I'm just worried someone will try to snatch them away. Quite a few forces are eyeing these people, so I expect there will be another fight." Huo Meng's eyes swept around, and the representatives of the various inner sect forces were all staring at those promising talents, their meaning was self-evident.

"There are just too many wolves and not enough meat, there's nothing we can do about it." The fat old man knew this too, and said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Hahaha, you're not a wolf, you're a cunning old fox."

"Then you're a stupid bear!"

Xianyu Liuli was extremely lucky to get a bye and made it into the top three. Li Ling also made it into the top three at the cost of serious injury. There was also a young man named Situ Aoyu, whose cultivation was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but he made it into the top three with the power of his spiritual weapon.

In the cultivation world, the classification of magical artifacts and elixirs is similar. The lowest level is the treasure artifact, which is divided into nine grades. Then comes the spiritual artifact, which is divided into four grades: low grade, middle grade, high grade, and top grade. Finally, there is the immortal artifact, which is classified in the same way as the spiritual artifact.

The young man named Situ Aoyu possessed a low-grade spiritual artifact. Although he was not yet able to fully unleash its power with his cultivation level, it was enough to dominate the Foundation Establishment stage. However, using a spiritual artifact beyond one's level would also result in a backlash, so his expression was quite grim. He was probably not going to be able to continue in the top three ranking competition.

Of the top three, Li Ling was seriously injured, Situ Aoyu was unable to continue, and only Xianyu Liuli was completely unharmed. In comparison, it seems that there is no need for further competition in the end.

"Liuli, since I can't continue the competition anyway, you don't need to be polite and just be number one." When the three of them stood together, Li Ling teased Xianyu Liuli in a somewhat weak voice.

"Hmph! It's not a fair victory!" Situ Aoyu also heard this. Although he really wanted to compete, he was powerless to do so and could only say something sarcastic in resentment.

Xianyu Liuli looked at the two of them with a faint smile in her eyes. She hadn't expected that after all the twists and turns, she would still rely on luck to get first place. She didn't know if this could be considered an irreversible fate. It was so powerful that she didn't know how to evaluate it.

"Luck is also a part of strength. If you are not satisfied, I welcome you to challenge me at any time." She doesn't need enemies, because she already has enough. But she needs opponents and friends. Li Ling and Situ Aoyu, as well as Long Fengxiao, whom she defeated not long ago, can all be considered the latter.

"Definitely!" Li Ling's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed. The two of them were of similar cultivation levels, and if it weren't for the fact that her injury was too serious this time, she would really like to have a proper match.

"Hmph, don't cry if you lose!" Situ Aoyu was only sixteen years old and still had the mind of a teenager. When talking to Xianyu Liuli, a twelve-year-old girl, his tone was like that of a child who couldn't get candy.

"You're the one who'll cry." Xianyu Liuli actually had a bit of a liking for this boy. A simple and silly child is always hard to dislike. After all, who wants to argue with someone who's a bit dim-witted? But teasing someone like that occasionally is quite fun.

"I won't! You're the one who should be crying. Humph, you're just a little girl, I don't even want to fight with you." Situ Aoyu raised his head arrogantly and deliberately looked at Xianyu Liuli with a contemptuous gaze.

"Ahem, the three of you, it's time to draw lots. The competition for the top three is about to begin." The steward interrupted their somewhat childish conversation.

"I forfeit." Li Ling waved her hand helplessly. She didn't want to move at all. Although she had taken healing pills, her whole body was in pain, and she really couldn't continue the competition.

"I also abstain!" Although Situ Aoyu was very unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and abstained. His spiritual power was depleted, and he was unable to make a move.

The deacon hesitated for a moment, then asked with some doubt, "First place is easy to decide, but what about second and third place? How do you two calculate that?"

Li Ling and Situ Aoyu looked at each other, then simultaneously snorted, expressing their disdain for each other. However, neither of them spoke, as their current situations were quite similar, and neither could be sure who would be second or third.

"Then let's tie for second place." In the very center of the viewing platform, an elderly man in magnificent robes made the final decision, which also meant the final result of the ranking competition. The steward carried out the order without any doubt.

"The ranking competition is over, and the entrance disciple review is also complete. A total of forty-two disciples have passed. The first place is Xianyu Liuli, and the second place is Li Ling and Situ Aoyu. These three disciples can come up on stage to receive their prizes." The steward had three high-grade storage bags in his hand, which contained their prizes.

Upon hearing this, Xianyu Liuli's mood suddenly changed. It was a mix of emotions: the satisfaction of hard work, anticipation, the joy of her companions returning after the cycle of fate, and high spirits. It was the pride of victory and the endless expectation for the future when she was in control of her own destiny at the highest point!

"Now, please invite the forty-two newly promoted inner disciples to come up on stage for the final choice of faction."

Besides the main peak where the sect leader resides, there are thousands of other forces within the inner sect of the Heavenly Dao Sect. These forces vary in size, some with thousands of members, while others may only have one. Some are keen on vying for power and profit, while others remain secluded in a corner, indifferent to worldly affairs. In their previous lives, Xianyu Liuli and the others belonged to the latter group, at most selling some pills in exchange for cultivation resources. However, possessing a treasure is a crime, so how could they truly remain uncontested?

If you don't fight, someone else will. If you take a step back, someone else will take many steps forward. This is the truth, and it's not anyone's fault!

With the inner disciples' assessment complete, it's time for various factions to vie for disciples. Hundreds of faction representatives came to watch the competition, but only forty-odd disciples will be selected in the end. Moreover, among these forty-odd disciples, even fewer are considered promising. It can truly be described as a case of too many wolves and too little meat, so the competition is extremely fierce, especially the top few in each competition, who are the objects of fierce competition among various factions.

"Little girl, I have high hopes for you and your companion. I intend to take you both as formal disciples. What do you say?" Huo Meng was impatient and was the first to step forward to choose someone.

The entry-level disciples are also divided into several levels. The lowest level is the ordinary disciple, followed by the nominal disciple, the formal disciple, and the personal disciple. Among these disciples, those who have made special contributions or are highly regarded can also obtain the title of elite disciple. Now, Huo Meng has spoken of formal disciples, which shows that he already values ​​Xian Yu and Liu Li very much.

The selected disciples can join these forces, but in reality, they can also choose not to join any force and simply become an ordinary disciple. The inner territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect is extremely vast, with hundreds of thousands of mountains standing tall. They can simply choose any uninhabited mountain to live on and that would be considered a force. This is what the Immortal Universe family did in the previous life.

Therefore, in this life, Xianyu Liuli made the same choice.

"Thank you for your kind offer, senior, but our cultivation methods are already set, and we already have masters. I'm afraid we cannot learn from you." Xianyu Liuli refused Huo Meng's invitation without hesitation. She had already made this decision before participating in the assessment. Although attaching herself to a certain power could allow them to obtain more resources and assistance in a short period of time, this was not what she wanted. What she wanted to do was to build her own power and not be controlled by anyone!

Many people are paying attention to Xianyu Liuli, as well as Xianyu Zongdao and Xianyu Zhuori. With the three of them standing together, many forces are also trying to win them over. Originally, after Huo Meng spoke, they planned to jump out and stop him immediately. However, before they could even jump out, this little girl, Xianyu Liuli, had already rejected Huo Meng. Moreover, she not only rejected Huo Meng, but also all other forces!

"You mean you've already chosen which faction to join?" Huo Meng asked, his expression turning serious, his tone uncertain.

"Sort of." But not quite. They weren't joining a faction, but rather building one. However, Xianyu Liuli didn't feel the need to say these things.

"Since that's the case, then I won't force you." Huo Meng was disappointed, but he magnanimously let go.

Xianyu Liuli bowed in thanks and walked to the edge of the arena. Xianyu Zongdao was still unconscious and was being supported by Xianyu Zhuori. The three of them stood together, making it clear that they would not join any faction.

This result disappointed many forces that had been optimistic about the three, but they didn't dwell on it. Instead, they focused on recruiting other promising disciples. After all, this kind of thing happens every year, and they were used to it. It was more practical to act early and not waste their time.
