Chapter 6 Disciple Recruitment Ceremony
Xu Siluo stood at the door with her hands behind her back, repeatedly pondering Qingyue's words. Perhaps she really was overthinking things.
In the room, Qingyue took a long time to calm herself down before she stopped being angry.
In her eyes, Xu Siluo was extremely easy to manipulate, and the fact that she had such wicked thoughts today must have been instigated by Chen An.
Meanwhile, Chen An had already left Xu Siluo's house. To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, she went to the bathroom before returning to her room to rest.
When Chen An left, Qing Xuan closed her eyes and waited for her to leave. She only closed her eyes after hearing Chen An close the door.
The rain subsided, but the sound of it falling on the roof was exceptionally clear. Chen An glanced at Qing Xuan, then quickly looked away, tucked the blanket in, and went to sleep.
The next morning, the Qing sisters and Chen An sat at a low table on the first floor and drank porridge.
Having spent a sleepless night, Xu Siluo spotted Qingyue in the corner. He quickly went down the stairs and sat down next to her. Remembering what his Yue'er had said yesterday, he couldn't hide his emotions.
His little actions were seen by the three people present, but none of them called him out.
Chen An calculated the time. It would take seven days for the dust powder to take effect. If it was combined with a little meat, the person who inhaled it would feel drowsy and lethargic. If the dust powder was not stopped in time, the situation would become more and more serious.
This is Chen'an's butcher father's method of taking revenge on others, and it has never been discovered by anyone.
She had observed in secret that Xu Siluo often brought food to Qingyue; his family was wealthy and powerful, so he certainly wasn't short of money.
These days, Xu Siluo slept unusually well. Even when he felt uncomfortable, he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but he didn't think much of it.
From the seventh day onwards, Xu Siluo couldn't muster any energy during the day. He wanted to see a doctor, but then thought it wasn't a big deal and put it off.
He remained in a daze for three more days until the morning of the disciple-acceptance ceremony.
More than an hour after sunrise, most of the tenants had left. At Qingyue's repeated insistence, Chen An and the other two sat at the dining table waiting for Xu Siluo, but Xu Siluo was nowhere to be seen.
Qingxuan was getting a little annoyed and decided to wake Xu Siluo up. She said to Qingyue, "I'll go upstairs and take a look."
Feeling guilty, Chen An was about to say that he would go up himself when Qing Yue spoke up: "Sister Xuan, let me go. I insisted on waiting for him." Qing Xuan didn't say much and agreed. In order not to arouse their suspicion, Chen An didn't say anything more.
inside the room.
Qingyue frowned slightly as she looked at the unconscious Xu Siluo, then quickly smiled and went over to him, gently shaking his arm to wake him up. Xu Siluo impatiently turned over, still breathing rhythmically.
After pondering for a long time, some calming powder appeared in the incense burner beside the bed.
She figured that since they had both entered the Zhaoning Sect, they would no longer be entangled with Xu Siluo; if they couldn't enter the Zhaoning Sect, Xu Siluo would miss the disciple-acceptance ceremony today, and she didn't need to worry that this fool Xu Siluo would forget her after he became successful in the future. So she put the medicine she was carrying into it.
As Qingyue came downstairs, her eyes looked pitiful, like a kitten that had been abandoned. She shook her head pitifully and was about to leave.
Chen An nodded calmly. Qing Xuan guessed that his sister had done something wrong again, but he said nothing and they went out together.
The area at the foot of Zhaoningzong Mountain was crowded with people. The clothes of all colors were piled together, making it look very messy, but it had a unique charm. Each of the ambitious young people was looking forward to achieving something.
Among the crowd were even five- or six-year-old children, which surprised even the usually composed Qingxuan.
The first hurdle is the same as in previous years: bone age testing. Those over 25 are not eligible.
The oldest of the three, Qingxuan, was only seventeen years old, so they weren't worried about that and easily passed the test.
This single hurdle eliminated many people, including many who were over 25 and still trying their luck, as well as many who were 23 or 24 but whose bone age was much older.
After their bone age was measured, everyone continued walking forward under the guidance of a red-robed cultivator.
The cultivator moved very fast, constantly releasing pressure that caused many people with weak wills to stop. By the time the cultivator stopped, less than one-fifth of them had passed this test.
In front of Chen An was a stone staircase one or two hundred meters wide, stretching upwards into the distance. The railings on both sides of the staircase were carved with dragons and tigers. She stood at the back, panting heavily. When she stopped, she even admired herself a little; it was quite impressive that she could keep up with her limp.
"Climb the long ladder, and you will enter the Zhaoning Sect." After waving his hand, the cultivator slowly disappeared, turning into a wisp of smoke.
As everyone gasped in amazement, many quick-thinking individuals began to ascend.
The two young ladies of the Qing family turned to look at Chen An, their eyes filled with difficulty. Such an assessment was unfair to Chen An, but where in the world of cultivation was there any fairness?
Chen An smiled and waved her hand, "It's alright, you don't need to worry about me." Actually, she was certain that she could enter the sect, not because she believed in her own strength, but because the Chen An in the book succeeded.
Qingxuan nodded, said nothing more, and stepped forward.
Compared to Qing Xuan, Qing Yue was thinking about how to get rid of Chen An. She reached out to support Chen An, looking as if she was determined to fight to the death with him.
Chen An was very familiar with this scene. In the book, this part was about the original owner of the body kneeling on the ground and begging Qing Yue not to be a burden, so that she would leave.
She immediately took Qingyue's arm affectionately, and cried out with tears of gratitude, "Miss, you still won't abandon me. If you really take me up there, I will serve you like a slave and never be able to repay you."
People around were drawn by Chen An's voice and turned their heads. Qing Yue, who was being held high, had no choice but to help.
Qingyue suppressed her anger, smiled, and helped Chen An up the steps.
Qingxuan wasn't walking very fast. He originally intended to help Chen'an when she couldn't walk anymore, but upon seeing this scene, he chuckled and quickened his pace.
After thirty or forty steps, more and more people were blocked in front of the stairs. No matter how hard they tried, they could not break through an invisible barrier.
"That barrier is for those without talent." Chen An lowered his head slightly. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl said this disdainfully and skipped away.
The little girl, acting like a little adult, quickly climbed more than ten meters. Chen An wanted to remind her to conserve her energy so she wouldn't run out of strength for the second half, but after only a second of hesitation, the little girl disappeared.
Qingyue watched the little girl leave, then turned to look at Chen An, this burden. Chen An saw Qingyue's gaze and leaned closer to her.
[Task 3: Successfully joining the Zhaoning Sect will earn you one of the following rewards]
天赋值加10健康值加50,上等灵石100枚速度加50,上品宝剑1把读心术3次,武力值加100容貌加30.
Failure reduces talent by 5.
Does the host accept the challenge?
Chen An was very tempted by the rewards offered by the system, but he quickly realized something was wrong. If he failed, he would have no talent left and it would be impossible for him to join another sect in the short term.
Normally, the more rewards you receive, the harder it is to succeed. It's unusual for the system to be so generous like this; something's definitely wrong.
If no response is given within ten seconds, the system will accept the response by default.
Chen An never expected the system to have this trick up its sleeve. He shoved Qing Yue aside and was about to argue with the system.
Amidst the astonished gazes of others, Chen An felt deep regret. She couldn't let anyone know about the system. If some powerful figure discovered her special abilities, eliminating her would be as easy as crushing an ant.
"What's wrong, sister?" Qingyue instinctively stepped forward and supported Chen An's arm, but immediately regretted it, cursing inwardly: I've given that bitch Chen An another chance to pester me.
Chen An thought to herself: In the book, Chen An climbed the thousand-meter-long ladder by herself. The only change now is that Qing Yue helped her. As long as she stays away from Qing Yue, she won't be tripped up.
Thinking of this, Chen An withdrew his hand and said sincerely, "Miss, don't help me up. Go up by yourself. You are naturally intelligent. As long as you can go up, you will achieve great things."
Qingyue had been looking forward to this moment for more than a second or two, but because of everyone's gaze, she put on an act again.
"Sister, how can I let you go, I..."
As he spoke, a golden light struck Chen An.
Before Chen An could turn his head, the water mist softly shattered the golden light, and at the same time, the white-clad youth, who thought he was perfectly disguised, was lifted up by the water mist.
