n100 The Trial Begins

nWhen Dong Xi sent the message to Chi Yan, Chi Yan hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Rui Xiang and Ke Xin had not hesitated at all, and had excitedly agreed.

nIt was just that Ke Xin could not enter the inner sect, so he could only ask Senior Brother Rui Xiang to help bring her in.

nThe two Senior Brothers, who had abstained from food for a hundred years, followed along to enjoy the meal. Dong Xi started a fire. The wood was found under the spirit fruit tree, and the meat was also caught from the mountain.

nShe washed the meat with the water in the pond, threaded it on a tree branch, and smeared some ingredients on it. When she pickled the meat, Dong Xi also skewered many spirit fruits.

nWhen everything was ready, Dong Xi used the inferior fireball technique to start a fire. In front of everyone, she placed the meat on the fire to roast, then sprinkled some unknown things.

nMiraculously, a fragrant smell floated up.

nDong Xi handed the roasted spirit fruit to Rui Xiang and Chi Yan, and found that they were both looking at the meat skewers.

n“What’s wrong?” Dong Xi said with a smile, “You want to the meat skewers?”

nThe two of them immediately shook their heads and said together, “No, I’m just curious.”

nLiang Yan was the first to be invited to dinner, but he was the last to get the barbecue.

nThe fragrance was so strong that one could not help but want to take a bite.

nSong Qingfeng had already put the roasted meat in his mouth. He had tried it before, but the taste was far from the same.

nCould it be because Little Junior Sister had scattered some random things on the barbecue?

nWhen they were almost done eating, Liang Yan suddenly remembered to remind the little girl. He said, “Tomorrow is the trial. You must be at the sect square at seven o ‘clock. Don’t be late.”

nLiang Yan looked at Dong Xi as he spoke. Dong Xi immediately nodded and said, “I’ve never been late.”

nEven though she seemed a little unreliable, she was still a very punctual person.

nLiang Yan looked at his two other Junior Sisters, and the two of them immediately nodded.

nAfter Dong Xi sent everyone away, she used a cleaning spell to make the courtyard clean. She looked at the flowers she had transplanted.

nShe could not tell what was wrong, but it looked much better than before, and the color was more vibrant. What kind of flower was it? That day, when she read the Encyclopedia of Immortal Cultivation Plants, she did not find anything.

nDong Xi did not hesitate any longer and turned to enter the cave.

nAfter cultivating for a night, she would enter the Secret Realm tomorrow.

nDong Xi now had the large snake’s small spirit gathering array formation, so she was not afraid of the day at all. Her spiritual Qi recovered much faster.

nHowever, she had never expected that after refining the last bit of meridians in the second half of the night, she would actually break through directly.

nShe broke through to the fourth level of the Qi Refinement stage just like that. Dong Xi immediately guided the spiritual Qi to circulate in her body. She only opened her eyes after her cultivation level had stabilized.

nLooking at the time, Dong Xi exclaimed, “I’m finished! I’m going to be late!”

nYesterday, she had told Eldest Senior Brother that she had never been late. This was too quick a slap in the face.

nDong Xi took out a small leaf and quickly jumped on it, immediately flying towards the sect square.

nBy the time Dong Xi arrived, everyone had already arrived.

nLiang Yan glanced at Dong Xi and noticed that her cultivation level had changed. He was surprised for a moment, but he did not say anything.

nHe only explained how to use the protective talisman, as well as how they would be separated when they were teleported in, making it useless to stick together.

nThey only had ten days in the Secret Realm, so they had to cherish it because the harvest of these ten days might be the biggest harvest they would get in the next few years.

nLiang Yan had always been imposing, and now that he had become serious, his aura became even more imposing. His words made everyone excited, but they were also very restrained.

nLiang Yan took out an airboat and asked everyone to board it. The new disciples were instantly excited.

nKe Xin and Chi Yan stood beside Dong Xi. Ke Xin grabbed Dong Xi’s arm and said, “Why are you only here now? If it wasn’t for Senior Brother hosting today and intentionally waiting for you for 15 minutes, you would have missed the trial.”

n“She has broken through,” Chi Yan said lightly.

nChi Yan’s words surprised Dong Xi. She did not know that the snake had set up a magic art to hide from her Senior Brother and Master, so it blocked those below the Golden Core stage. But she was also wearing the necklace she had bought the other day, which could block detection. She had spent so much money, and this was it?

n“You can see my cultivation?” asked Dong Xi curiously.

nChi Yan did not wait for her to say anything. She knew that she should have an item that blocked divine sense, so she explained lightly, “It’s the Flame Bird’s talent.”

nDong Xi was relieved, but she could not help but feel envious. Why were they filled with talents and skills?

nIt was really too good!

nWhile they were talking, many disciples had already boarded the swift airboat. Dong Xi and the other two also hurriedly boarded.

nThe Secret Realm was not far from the sect. It was a small world sealed by the Sect Master.

nIt took about a morning to reach the Secret Realm.

nThe flying boat stopped in the middle of a mountain range. Liang Yan took out a scroll and cast a spell. The air seemed to have been broken by something, and circles of ripples appeared.
