Chapter 67 Entering the Sect Test
Chapter 67 Entering the Sect Test
"Six?"
"Yes, before climbing the mountain in the morning, he also sent a bottle of dew to the sixth young lady of the Prime Minister's residence, saying that he had found it for her in advance because the sixth young lady of the Prime Minister's residence likes to use dew to brew tea; at lunchtime, he also instructed a servant to buy a portion of hibiscus cakes from Xing'an Street and deliver them to the back gate of the Grand Commandant's residence, because the eighth young lady of the Grand Commandant's residence likes to eat them. In addition, there was the third daughter of the Minister of War who climbed the mountain, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites who went boating on the lake, the niece of the Vice Minister of Personnel who had lunch, and finally the eldest daughter of the Censor of the Censorate who came out to stroll around, making a total of six people."
The county magistrate of Jiayan was terrified by what Liu Mingyue said. "No, what is he going to do?!"
This is no longer just about the Third Prince's womanizing. After hearing Liu Mingyue mention all the official titles, Princess Jiayan felt as if she had learned something extraordinary.
"No, if we add you, the county princess from the princess's residence, then that makes seven!"
Liu Mingyue thought inappropriately that the other party had gathered a group of seven fairies!
"What is the Third Prince trying to do!" Jia Yan no longer cared about the fact that the other party didn't like her. All she wanted to know was why this person had offended so many ministers' daughters.
"What? Haven't you realized yet? They're trying to steal the position from their cousin, the Crown Prince!"
At that moment, Princess Jiayan wanted to cover Liu Mingyue's mouth to stop her from talking nonsense, but subconsciously she felt that what Liu Mingyue said was true.
Otherwise, how can we explain all this absurdity?
“But my cousin the Crown Prince is doing a good job, and His Majesty has no intention of replacing him!” Jia Yan racked her brains to refute Liu Mingyue.
“That’s right! So this person is just delusional!” Liu Mingyue declared definitively.
"Then why would he do that? His cousin, the Crown Prince, treats him very well, doesn't he?" Jia Yan didn't understand. The current emperor wasn't a womanizer, so there weren't many children in the palace, and everyone received a share of the emperor's rewards.
"I don't know, maybe he's not very bright." Liu Mingyue didn't hide her dislike at all, and Jia Yan had nothing to say.
"Do you think my cousin, the Crown Prince, knows about his little tricks?" Jia Yan asked after a moment of silence.
"What do you think? Do you think my guards could find out about these things so easily?" Liu Mingyue only realized this later.
At that moment, Princess Jiayan felt utterly humiliated.
"I'm going back to the manor."
"You're not going to watch it? They have other activities planned for tomorrow!"
"I'm not going to look anymore. You don't need to tell me anything about him anymore." Princess Jiayan got into her carriage and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Liu Mingyue also went back. She was tired too, and she really admired the Third Prince.
When I told the sisters in the group after I got back, they were all impressed.
"A master of time management!" Lin Liuyi couldn't help but exclaim.
After thinking about it, Liu Mingyue realized that it really made sense.
"So, has your sister completely let go?"
"It must be her. She's seen so much already. If she still can't let go, I'd look down on her! Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. Has anything fun happened between you guys lately?" Liu Mingyue hadn't checked the group chat for a while because of her sister and the Third Prince.
“Yes, yes, you’ve come at just the right time. We’re ready to hear Master Mingyue’s entrance test!” Princess Mingyue said first.
"Cultivating immortality is quite rare; there are even exams!" Ouyang Mingyue exclaimed.
Next, everyone sat up straight and listened to Long Mingyue recount her entrance test.
"First, I took a flying boat to Wuji City, found the Wuji Sect's outpost, and then took out the token given to me by the ancestor. After it was verified, I flew back to the Wuji Sect with my senior brothers. After arriving at the Wuji Sect, there was no test on the first day. Instead, I stayed in the dormitory halfway up the mountain with everyone. On the second day, the sect leader and the others appeared and announced the entrance test." Long Mingyue gave a brief introduction.
"No, you don't need to test your spiritual roots?" Lin Liuyi asked, puzzled. This was different from the novels she had read.
"You're talking about those selected from the mortal realm, right? For children like us with families, our spiritual roots are tested after we turn three. Our families then nurture us based on our spiritual roots. We usually only choose to join a sect when we reach the Foundation Establishment stage. It's different for those selected from the mortal realm. They join a sect as early as the Qi Refining stage. Except for a few sects that nurture exceptionally talented individuals, the rest of us have to rely on ourselves. After all, sect resources are limited, while we have the support of our families, so we have more resources."
What Long Mingyue didn't say was that if a Qi Refining cultivator couldn't establish a Foundation, they would still become an outer disciple. However, those disciples who entered the sect after establishing a Foundation always had a higher starting point than others.
"After the sect entry test began, we were teleported directly to the foot of the mountain. The first test was climbing the Heavenly Ladder."
"I know that, climbing stairs! How many did you climb? Were you the first one to get to the top?" Finally, someone Lin Liuyi knew the answer to, and she asked excitedly.
"That's right, to put it simply, it's like climbing stairs. There are 999 floors in total. Guess how many floors I climbed?" Long Mingyue kept everyone in suspense.
"999 floors?" Liu Mingyue guessed. In her mind, immortals were the most powerful. Old Lady Liu nodded in agreement.
"888 floors?" Princess Mingyue was being conservative.
"No, you're overestimating me. I only climbed 808 floors," Long Mingyue said shyly, surprised that everyone thought so highly of her.
"But this is already pretty good. I'm in the top ten. I heard that the senior brother of Wuji Sect climbed the most, 909 floors. As for 999 floors, only the founding ancestor has climbed them." Long Mingyue was still very confident, after all, her good-for-nothing ex-fiancé had only climbed 500 floors.
"Why is this staircase so difficult to climb?" Liu Mingyue and the others asked, puzzled.
“Generally speaking, as the number of stairs increases, the gravity at the top also increases. Some even have formations that allow you to experience the different seasons of spring, summer, and winter. Some even have spirit-suppressing effects, and some even have illusions. I wonder what it's like at Master Mingyue's place?” Lin Liuyi thought about the cultivation novels he had read.
"That's right. The Heavenly Ladder of the Wuji Sect suppresses cultivation more and more as the number of steps increases. In the end, I climbed it by sheer willpower. Climbing three hundred steps is passing, six hundred steps is good, eight hundred steps like me is excellent, and nine hundred steps is extremely rare. If one were to use it, they would definitely be a prominent figure in the Wuji Sect."
Long Mingyue recalled the senior brother she saw when she became a disciple, and could only say that he was indeed a chosen one of heaven, his demeanor was different.
"Oh, right. Guess where I went when I became an apprentice?" Long Mingyue couldn't help but show off again.
