In the middle stage of Xuanxian, Lin Chen’s disdain

After the Female Elder finished speaking, seeing the high spirits of the female Cultivators who had come to participate in the assessment, she knew the time was almost right.

She said to the Disciples behind her:

"You all go and maintain order on site, and guide the Cultivators participating in the assessment to enter in an orderly manner."

"Don't cause any trouble; everything must proceed according to the predetermined plan."

The group of Disciples said, "Yes."

With that, they immediately rose and flew down the mountain gate to guide the Cultivators participating in the entrance assessment.

In an inconspicuous place, the Su Family One line also arrived outside the mountain gate.

For this assessment, the Su Family had prepared for nearly a hundred years, solely to allow the Su Family's Young Miss, Su Jinxiu, to join the Yaochi Immortal Palace.

"Sister, you can do it, you definitely will succeed."

The one who said this was none other than Su Zhan, who had kicked Lin Chen to death; he encouraged Su Jinxiu, saying,

"Jinxiu, you have extraordinary talent and are naturally born with the Heavenly Yin Physique. Our Family's foundation is insufficient to allow you to completely transform, but as long as you join the Yaochi Immortal Palace, with your Physique and Comprehension Ability, you will surely soar to great heights."

Su Mother also encouraged her, her eyes filled with hope, wishing her daughter to become a Phoenix.

The accompanying maids and servants were the same; as long as their Young Miss joined the Yaochi Immortal Palace, the Su Family's status would greatly increase, and their salaries would also rise accordingly.

Su Jinxiu smiled faintly and said softly,

"I will do my best."

The Su Family was originally a prominent Family, but unfortunately, their fortunes declined. The Old Ancestor of the clan died suddenly a hundred thousand years ago, and without a powerful backer, hostile forces ruthlessly suppressed them.

One hundred thousand years passed, and the Su Family can now only live in a corner, with the strongest person in their clan being merely at the Profound Immortal realm.

Su Jinxiu's beauty was unparalleled, and her talent was extraordinary; many powerful forces wanted to take her as a concubine.

Because to become a wife, in addition to appearance and talent, one must also have a background; otherwise, one can only become a concubine.

If Luck was a bit worse, then one could only become a maid.

Although Su Jinxiu was young, she had a heart to revive her Family; she wanted to restore the Su Family's past glory through her own efforts.

The best way was to join the Yaochi Immortal Palace!

The strongest force in the Eternal Immortal Domain at this stage!

While they were waiting, a young man with a weak Aura, a scarred face, his entire body wrapped in bandages, and walking with a slight limp, approached.

Behind him, he brought a team of people, each with an extraordinary Aura.

Seeing the approaching person, Su Jinxiu's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, and she turned away, not looking at him.

When that person saw Su Jinxiu, he smiled softly, "Jinxiu, I'm here to cheer you on, come..."

But before he could finish his sentence, a young man with a resolute face and a slender build blocked his path.

The young man's eyes were calm and composed, with a hint of indifference, as he coldly stared at the man walking towards Su Jinxiu, not saying a word.

The bandaged man's face turned cold.

He said in a mocking tone, "Who do we have here? It's the idiot Lin Chen. Don't block my Dao, be careful or this Young Master will hit you."

"I heard this idiot's mind returned to normal. I think he must have undergone Possession, right? There's no such thing as returning to normal." He said with a chuckle.

Little did he know, he had inadvertently revealed a heavenly secret.

Lin Chen's expression changed slightly, but it was only for an instant before he recovered, not allowing anyone to catch a flaw.

The bandaged young man was fearless; he coldly stared at Lin Chen, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery, two parts disdain, three parts indifference.

And four parts condescending nonchalance!

Lin Chen's expression instantly turned cold and he said,

"Hit me? Are you worthy?"

"Tang Xiao San, I heard you were slapped away in the Eternal Gate this time. How dare a Trash like you yell in front of me?"

It turned out that this person was Tang Xiao San, who was crippled by Ouyang Ke's single move in the Eternal Gate!

"You!" Tang Xiao San was furious.

Good news doesn't go out, bad news travels far. The news of him being slapped down by Ouyang Ke had already spread.

"Good, very good, you have found your path to death."

"Do you dare to touch me? This is where the Yaochi Immortal Palace recruits Disciples. Or are you saying that your Tang Clan is already powerful enough to act presumptuously at the entrance of the Yaochi Immortal Palace?"

Lin Chen said disdainfully.

"Good, very good, you just wait for me."

"Once you step out of this gate, let's see if you're still so stubborn." Tang Xiao San said coldly.

As if thinking of something, Tang Xiao San said with a half-smile to Su Mother, "Aunt Su, your idiotic son-in-law spoke disrespectfully to me."

"I feel offended, so the Medicinal Pill transaction worth eight million Medium Grade Immortal Stones, I feel it might not go through."

Su Mother's face changed.

The Su Family was just a small Family, not comparable to the scale of the Tang Clan. Tang Xiao San, in order to have a chance to get close to Su Jinxiu, specifically took out a batch of Medicinal Pills worth thirty million Medium Grade Immortal Stones and sold them to the Su Family at a low price.

It could be said that this was giving away money!

Thirty million Medium Grade Immortal Stones was not much for Tang Xiao San, but for the Su Family's annual net profit, which was only ten million Medium Grade Immortal Stones, this was three years of net income!

She immediately offered a conciliatory smile to Tang Xiao San and severely reprimanded Lin Chen:

"If you cause any more trouble, believe it or not, when we get back, I'll have the servants deal with you, and even dismantle your doghouse."

Su Zhan was even more furious. This Trash idiot, just looking at him was disgusting enough, and now he was speaking disrespectfully to the Su Family's benefactor here.

How could Su Zhan tolerate Lin Chen's attitude? He said with killing intent,

"Trash, if you dare to say two more words, believe it or not, I'll directly beat you to death when we get back."

This was the Yaochi Immortal Palace, so he couldn't kill him, otherwise Su Zhan would have erupted on the spot.

Tang Xiao San was very happy, a smile on his face.

You're an idiot, you have nothing, how can you fight with me?

Tang Xiao San smiled faintly, wanting to see him make a fool of himself.

As a result, Lin Chen, looking like he had everything under control, said faintly, "Isn't it just a thirty million Medium Grade Immortal Stone transaction?"

"You're embarrassed to even mention such a small transaction amount? The Medicinal Pills you mentioned are nothing more than ordinary Seven Orifice Primordial Pills."

"Let alone the Seven Orifice Primordial Pill, I can even get you the Pill Formula for the Nine Orifice Primordial Pill, and all the Medicinal Pills refined from it will be of top quality."

Su Zhan and Su Mother thought he was going to apologize, but he became even more disrespectful, which made them furious.

What is this guy doing? Is he trying to kill our Su Family?

But Lin Chen didn't even look at them; instead, he smiled at Su Jinxiu.

He said softly, "Jinxiu, with me here, no one can bully you."

"Don't worry, I will help you fulfill your dream and revitalize the Su Family!"

Su Jinxiu was stunned and speechless. Was it because you entered the Qi Refinement Stage a few days ago that it gave you such immense courage?

You're just a Mortal who hasn't even reached Foundation Establishment, how dare you boast so shamelessly?

Tang Xiao San was originally very angry, but hearing him speak so wildly, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Did I hear that right?"

"You, a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, casually talking about thirty million Medium Grade Immortal Stones as if it's nothing. An idiot is an idiot, such commendable courage."

"I was just angry, what a sin. Why am I getting angry with an idiot?"

Tang Xiao San laughed heartily, truly angered into laughter by Lin Chen.

"Don't believe me? Do you dare to bet with me?"

Next, Lin Chen brought out the classic trope:

A three-month deadline!

Within three months, raise three hundred million Medium Grade Immortal Stones.

Tang Xiao San, as a minor villain, naturally agreed to his words, and even added a wager: if Lin Chen could truly accomplish it, he would give him Medicinal Pills worth one hundred million.

But if he couldn't, Lin Chen would have to break off the engagement! And also become Tang Xiao San's slave.

Su Jinxiu's eyes grew colder.

She used Lin Chen as a shield, not to cause trouble for the Su Family; this completely deviated from her original intention.

"Lin Chen, this doesn't concern you."

"Go back." Su Jin said coldly.

Lin Chen, however, said with a playful smile, "Are you worried about my life and death?"

"Don't worry, my life is very tough; this wager won't take my life."

In Lin Chen's eyes, his making a life-and-death wager with Tang Xiao San had made her worry.

To resolve this wager, Su Jinxiu couldn't give him a good look; she had to keep a cold face to make Tang Xiao San withdraw the wager.

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more he felt it was correct. It seemed this shield wasn't entirely a tool; she still had me in her heart!

The classic Child of Destiny fantasy trope.

Su Jinxiu couldn't even bear to look at him. Indeed, only by striving for greater heights could she distance herself from idiots. This further strengthened her resolve to join the Yaochi Immortal Palace.

For freedom, for the glory of the Su Family.

And for, getting away from idiots!

The commotion here attracted the attention of many people.

The Disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Palace also came over to warn them not to make loud noises and disturb the assessment.

Tang Xiao San bowed and scraped, very respectful, without a trace of arrogance.

The people of the Su Family were even more so, all expressing that they would definitely abide by the rules.

Only Lin Chen remained self-willed, displaying his individuality there alone.

"That person, he was an idiot a few days ago. He recovered to normal a few days ago, so he might be a bit too happy, unable to control himself." The Su Family explained.

In response, Lin Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes indifferent.

The Disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Palace, seeing him like this, didn't say anything, perhaps he really was an idiot.

...

Yaochi Immortal Palace, Xiao Fan's courtyard.

Yu Yue personally came to deliver Medicinal Pills and Immortal Stones for his Cultivation, and constantly adjusted the temperature and Immortal Qi concentration in the courtyard. It could be said that her care was meticulous.

Only Yu Yue and Xin Xi truly knew how to serve Xiao Fan best.

When Yu Yue entered the courtyard gate, a wisp of Qi that inadvertently scattered brushed past Ah Kun, making it feel the fear of death.

Listening to Yu Yue's receding footsteps, Ah Kun felt its heart pounding wildly.

"Brother Dog, who was that Senior just now?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Wang Cai dared not speak, thinking, 'This kid, are you trying to harm me?'

Ah Kun was now only left with fear, with no other thoughts whatsoever; it was so terrifying.

Yu Yue walked to Xiao Fan's living quarters, she raised her jade hand and lightly knocked on the door, saying softly, "Young Master, are you Cultivating?"

"No, it's quite lively outside, I'm planning to go for a walk." Xiao Fan walked out.

"I'll accompany you for a walk, it's perfect, I also need to go check on the Disciple recruitment." Yu Yue said with a sweet smile.

"Good, I'll walk with you." Xiao Fan took Yu Yue's delicate jade hand and walked out.

Yu Yue's cheeks flushed slightly, but she held his hand even tighter. After the last incident, their relationship had grown closer.

"Ah Kun, come here." Xiao Fan said.

"Ah, yes, Master." Ah Kun understood immediately what was happening. It immediately spread its wings and flew up, respectfully landing in front of him.

Xiao Fan, holding Yu Yue's hand, jumped onto the bird's back and took flight on the Kunpeng.

Just then, a shocking pillar of light shot up from the direction of the mountain gate, piercing straight into the clouds.

The pillar of light stirred the wind and clouds, tearing the entire sea of clouds in the sky into a vortex. Within the pillar of light, Dragons coiled and Phoenixes danced, and even an Auspicious Beast Qilin exhaled Holy Light, truly majestic.

"What kind of phenomenon is that?" Xiao Fan asked in confusion.

"A shocking pillar of light soaring to the sky indicates that among those seeking mentorship, a Disciple with peerless talent has appeared." Yu Yue instantly understood what was happening and smiled.

"It seems that Heaven blesses our Yaochi Immortal Palace."

When Xiao Fan heard her say that, he thought, "Oh? So it's a Child of Destiny then."

Interesting! I like Child of Destiny the most.
