Six Realms Immortal Emperor

This outdoor trial for outer disciples also attracted some inner disciples to watch. They wanted to know which of the younger generation were geniuses and which were promising talents that the sect would focus on cultivating in the future, so that they could recruit them.

"Qu Feixiong, hehe, I knew I hadn't misjudged him. He's much better than that idiot Zhu Wanli. I must fight for him for Master!" Among the inner disciples watching, there was a burly young disciple with shrewd eyes and a very gloomy face.

"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Jin Chongguang? I wonder why Senior Brother Jin is so angry when he saw Qu Feixiong hand in the spirit herbs?" An inner disciple next to him asked seemingly casually, then slapped his forehead and said in a pretentious tone, "Oh, I know, some disciples must have been disappointing and didn't hand in any decent materials. I wonder where they are now. If I see them, I'll definitely give them a good scolding for making our Senior Brother Jin Chongguang lose face."

Mentioning Zhu Wanli only fueled Jin Chongguang's anger. When they went in for the trial, Jin Chongguang had clearly instructed them to personally kill Xu Jingtian. But now Xu Jingtian was still alive and well, while they had vanished without a trace, most likely dead inside. Zhu Wanli's group had nine disciples, and they couldn't even handle one; what a bunch of useless trash.

This disciple was clearly mocking Jin Chongguang by saying those things that were meant to provoke him.

Jin Chongguang's face flushed red and then turned pale. He pointed at him and cursed, "You, Bai Longfei, stop laughing at me here. If you anger me, my master will definitely make you suffer."

Bai Longfei, seemingly intimidated by his master's reputation, left dejectedly, throwing down a parting remark before departing: "If Zhu Wanli gets into trouble, let's see how you explain yourself to the Zhu brothers, Zhu Wanxiong and Zhu Wanjie. I don't believe they won't come after you!"

"Zhu Wanxiong, Zhu Wanjie?" Jin Chongguang's heart skipped a beat. It was all over. It seemed that only his master could resolve this matter for him.

On this hilltop, the materials Qu Feixiong submitted were also seen by the Grand Elder, who exclaimed, "A thousand-year-old Qinglingzhi! Such a precious spiritual herb in the trial is truly remarkable. It's even more valuable than that second-tier ferocious beast. It seems this disciple deserves our close attention."

No sooner had he finished his exclamation than he was stunned again, and the other elite disciples also looked into the valley.

A disciple pulled out a pair of sharp teeth, then a sharp horn. These elite disciples had such sharp eyes that they immediately recognized the teeth as belonging to the third-tier ferocious beast, the Taiqing Water Lion, and the horn as belonging to the third-tier ferocious beast, the Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros.

Both of these materials are treasures that third-tier ferocious beasts rely on for survival. Without them, a third-tier ferocious beast can no longer be called a third-tier ferocious beast. Therefore, even if a third-tier ferocious beast dies, it will not let these things be easily lost.

That means this disciple hunted down two third-tier ferocious beasts!

Therefore, all the elite disciples paid special attention to the disciple who submitted these materials.

"Who is this person? How can someone so young be so capable?"

"This is incredible! It seems this disciple has just broken through to the third level of Qi Refining."

"What?! Just reached the third level of Qi Refining? Let me look more closely, and it really is!"

The one who submitted these materials was none other than Xu Jingtian. The fact that he was able to attract the attention of all the elite disciples present meant that the hardships he encountered during the wilderness trial were not in vain.

"I remember the Crimson Rhinoceros has two sharp horns on its head, why did this disciple only hand in one?" one of the elite disciples asked with some doubt.

Another elite disciple chimed in, "Whether it's one or two, even if it's just one, it's enough to show that this disciple has the strength to kill the Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros."

"That's true!" The elite disciple nodded in agreement.

After listening to the words of the elite disciples, the white-haired, youthful-looking elder nodded and said, "Hmm, it seems this disciple might be the genius we've been looking for. The Brahma Sect is truly fortunate to have him; we must nurture him with great care! I will personally report this to the Sect Leader later!"

The submission of trial materials proceeded smoothly under the guidance of the inner disciples. After about an hour, this stage came to an end, and all the materials were finally collected. The names of all the disciples who submitted their materials had been registered, and the sect's Grand Elder was now selecting the trial rankings.

Finally, the most exciting moment arrived. All the outer disciples waited quietly in the valley, and even the inner disciples watching kept glancing towards the mountaintop.

The elite disciples gathered around the Grand Elder for a brief discussion. The Grand Elder then stepped forward and announced, "First, we will announce the fourth to tenth place winners of this wilderness trial. Disciples who have achieved these rankings, please proceed to the foot of the mountain to collect your sect rewards."

The Grand Elder possessed profound magical power; though he spoke in a low voice, every disciple throughout the valley could hear him clearly.

At the foot of the mountain, several inner disciples lined up, each holding a pill in their hands. Those who ranked fifth to tenth quickly received their rewards.

"Now, we announce the fourth place winner, Dongfang Sixing, who will be awarded two Spirit-Stabilizing Pills."

Dongfang Sixing was overjoyed after receiving the award. He never expected to get fourth place, which made Gu Tianxing, Huang Shaoyuan and others extremely envious.

Those who didn't place were either disappointed or held even greater hopes, dreaming of getting into the top three, since the rewards for the top three were on a completely different level.

All the disciples craned their necks, eagerly awaiting to see who would win those valuable rewards.

"Third place, Lu Yikuang! Reward: one low-grade magic weapon, five Spirit-Stabilizing Pills, and one Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pill."

Upon hearing the name, Lu Yikuang did not show any excitement. Instead, he regained his usual cold demeanor and walked over calmly.

"Lu Yikuang! It really is him. It seems we weren't wrong about him." The disciples below exclaimed. A person's reputation precedes them; Lu Yikuang was definitely a formidable figure in everyone's eyes.

Upon seeing this, the elders couldn't help but think more highly of him, realizing that this person would certainly not be an ordinary person in the future.

"Second place, Qu Feixiong! Reward: one mid-grade magic weapon, ten Spirit-Consolidating Pills, and two Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills."

Upon hearing his name, Qu Feixiong was extremely excited. He practically ran off. Second place! It seemed his efforts in the wilderness trial hadn't been in vain. He arrogantly turned to look at Lu Yikuang beside him. "Little brat, you're not convinced, are you? I beat you to it."

"Qu Feixiong! Not bad, not bad!"

Who will be number one?

"I never imagined that a disciple would be even more skilled than those two!"

With the Grand Elder's announcement, the disciples below became even more eager, all wanting to know who would be the first place winner in this trial.

"First place, Xu Jingtian! Reward: one high-grade magic weapon, twenty Spirit-Consolidating Pills, and three Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills."

"Xu Jingtian? Who is that? I've never heard of him before!"

"Who knows? Maybe he's a hidden master."

The disciples in the valley were buzzing with discussion. They had hardly ever heard of Xu Jingtian. How could such an unknown disciple have won first place in the trial? They all wanted to see who this person was.
