The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

Chapter 14: Danger Lurks Fourfold! The First Test!

After a night of fussing, it was already dawn.

Lin Yi opened his eyes and immediately felt refreshed.

An Xinyue was still sleeping soundly under the covers, her little face rosy, and her spiritual energy was more concentrated than yesterday.

That night's work wasn't in vain.

It was all thanks to the power of Lin Yi's Myriad Medicine Spirit Body that she absorbed every last drop.

But take another look at himself?

All I could do was shrug and sigh.

His ninth-grade useless spiritual root is simply a black hole!

No matter how much I feed them, they're never full!

An Xinyue didn't lie to him.

Ye Qingwan possesses the Xuan Yin Jade Marrow Body, and dual cultivation can draw out the purest innate Yin essence.

An Xinyue possesses the Azure Phoenix Physique, with the blood of an ancient ice phoenix flowing in her veins.

Either of these two constitutions would be so desirable that men throughout the cultivation world would fight tooth and nail for them.

The results of it?

These two top-tier configurations are still somewhat lacking compared to Lin Yi's Myriad Medicine Spirit Body.

Not to mention his ninth-grade useless spiritual root!

"Damn, this spiritual root isn't just useless, it's inhuman!"

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly, "Let's go take the assessment first!"

The Dan Ding Sect is recruiting, but the entry requirements are frighteningly high.

According to the rules, someone with a ninth-grade spiritual root like him wouldn't even be qualified to register.

Fortunately, An Xinyue had already told Ye Qingwan about this.

Ye Qingwan directly used her status as a saintess to give him the green light, allowing him to bypass the initial screening of spiritual roots.

But he'll have to shoulder the burden for the next few hurdles on his own.

When Ye Qingwan personally handed the assessment token to Lin Yi, the entire room erupted in chaos.

"Look! Saintess Ye Qingwan has arrived in person!"

"She's here to deliver a pass to that furnace cauldron?"

Lin Yi stared at the stunningly beautiful Ye Qingwan before him, initially hesitant.

He never goes back to an old flame.

Unless... this grass is tender and fragrant!

Moreover.

Ye Qingwan kept saying she owed him, insisting on making up for it.

He had secretly inquired and found out that this woman had truly broken off all ties with Ren Tianxing; they had never even held hands before.

That little spark in my heart ignited instantly.

He took a half step forward, whispering in her ear, "My holy lady, I accept this favor."

"Once I officially become an outer disciple, you'd better take a bath and lie flat, waiting for my inspection."

Ye Qingwan's face flushed red, her heart pounded in her chest, and she stamped her foot and turned to leave.

She didn't know why An Xinyue was helping her make the connection.

But she was willing to risk her life if she could win Lin Yi's trust again.

Lin Yi stood in the crowded square and glanced around at the young faces around him.

The Dan Ding Sect is very selective in choosing its members.

You must be there before your 18th birthday; you won't be accepted if you're even one day late.

He just happened to be on the last day; it's a miracle he's standing here.

"Tsk, Ye Qingwan probably used all her connections to get me in here!"

He knew exactly what was going on, and actually quite enjoyed it. "Ah, the feeling of being a kept man is fucking intoxicating!"

The square was packed with people.

There were at least a thousand teenagers, all clenching their fists and with tense faces.

The Dan Ding Sect is not only a sacred place for cultivation, but also offers a complete one-stop service for assigning Daoist partners.

You'll be paired with a cultivation partner as soon as you start, and you can practice together and help each other improve.

The mere presence of Ye Qingwan and An Xinyue, these two fairies, was enough to attract all the unmarried male cultivators in the cultivation world to rush here overnight.

Right outside the gate of the Dan Ding Sect, Lu Hongyuan, the head of the Lu family, was patting his son on the shoulder, saying, "Yang Ze, with your dual-attribute true spiritual roots, getting into the Dan Ding Sect will be a piece of cake."

Lu Yangze smiled, his eyes narrowing. "Father, what I'm thinking about isn't the cultivation technique, but those little fairies from the Pill Cauldron Sect..."

Of course, he didn't come here for cultivation at all.

He was a pawn planted by the Xuanjian Sect to keep a close eye on Ye Qingwan for Ren Tianxing.

The Lu family is one of the four affiliated families under the Ren Tianxing family.

Therefore, it was natural that Ren Tianxing sent him over.

Thinking back to Lin Yi's arrogant attitude when he reneged on his sister Lu Yuling's marriage certificate, Lu Yangze was furious.

"Lin Yi, who do you think you are? You dare to bring shame upon the Lu family?"

At this moment, the square was bustling with noise.

Lu Yangze's gaze was sharp as a knife, fixing on Lin Yi in the corner in an instant!

Lin Yi was in a good mood.

He was calculating: as long as he became a formal disciple, the sect's subsidies, spiritual medicines, cultivation techniques, and a new Daoist partner would all be provided!

But in that very instant...

A chilling killing intent pierced the back of his neck!

Lin Yi turned around and met Lu Yangze's eyes, which seemed to want to tear him apart.

Not only him, but three or four other people next to him also stared at him.

Lin Yi's lips curled into a cold smile. "Heh, Ren Tianxing's dog sniffed the air and came here?"

"I was originally planning to let you go, but since you insisted on coming to your deaths... then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

……

At this moment, an elderly man with white hair slowly walked onto the stage, his eyes sweeping down.

The entire room immediately fell silent.

"Stop arguing!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was sharp and piercing: "I am Liang Yongkang, and I will be in charge of this year's assessment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were two whooshing sounds overhead.

Two beams of golden light landed on the stage and transformed into a man and a woman.

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd below.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing a light blue dress, with a smooth and beautiful face, but she was as cold as ice.

"Senior Sister Xin Zhilei from Qingzhu Peak!"

"She's even more beautiful in person than in the portrait!"

Lin Yi also took a few more glances.

Although she wasn't as stunning as Ye Qingwan or An Xinyue, her "don't come near me" attitude was incredibly alluring.

Then look at the man.

She wore a brocade robe with a cinched waist, had thick eyebrows and bright eyes, and a well-proportioned face.

The moment his foot touched the ground, the girls' eyes lit up.

Elder Liang added, "This time, the proctoring will be handled by Xin Zhilei and Mu Chen."

Xin Zhilei simply bowed her head slightly as a greeting.

Mu Chen took half a step forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone, and moved with a graceful manner.

The pot below instantly exploded.

Elder Liang looked up at the throng of people below. "The first test: Climbing the Heavenly Ladder! You pass if you climb ten steps!"

He had barely finished speaking when he flicked his sleeve!

Buzz...!

A burst of golden light suddenly erupted, causing the ground to shake.

A large, gray stone staircase rises from the ground, piercing the clouds, and stands in the very center of the square.

The steps were shrouded in mist, and just standing at a distance made one feel intimidated.

The experienced disciples who knew the ropes had already heard about it.

Without a foundation of at least the seventh level of Qi Refining, one cannot even stand firmly at the first level.

"start!"

Elder Liang gave the order.

The crowd scattered with a whoosh, scrambling to squeeze towards the top of the ladder.

A burly young man, neck stiff, charged ahead, his feet barely touching the first step.

puff!

It felt like being hit by a hammer, and the person was sent flying backwards into the air.

He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and fell to the ground with a thud.

Beside him, the disciple in charge stood expressionless. "Bai Hao, eliminated!"

The entire arena fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, batches of people took turns trying.

"Rowan, eliminated!"

"Cheng Bo, approved!"

"Li Le, eliminated!"

Some people bit their teeth until they bled before climbing to the tenth step.

Some people managed to hold on until the eighth or ninth step, but then their bodies tilted and they were ejected.

At a glance, out of the ten people who came up, less than one could stand still.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

On stage, Mu Chen lazily shook his head, "Junior Sister Xin, this year's batch of candidates isn't very good!"

Xin Zhilei's voice was calm, "Why is Pastor in such a hurry? Good talents never rush to be first!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yangze went upstairs.

He took several quick strides and leaped up to the fifteenth step in one breath!

His cronies were no slouch either; they all managed to reach the tenth level.

Elder Liang stroked his beard and laughed, "Good! Not bad!"

When only a few people remained to be tested, Lin Yi calmly strolled forward.

He is now at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual power is comparable to that of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

The ladder was as easy for him as walking.

But he can't let his secret slip.

Then his shoulders started to shake, and he became breathless with every step.

When he finally stepped onto the tenth step, he almost knelt down.

Below the stage, laughter and cheers erupted in chaos. "Wow, that's impressive! This piece of trash wasn't even thrown off?"

But Xin Zhilei, standing on the high platform, suddenly narrowed her eyes!

"This aura... it's the primordial spiritual energy of all medicines?! I've been searching for it for three whole years! I never expected to find it here!"

She has practiced her family's secret techniques since childhood and is extremely sensitive to the spiritual energy of all medicines.

Her family had been searching for a cultivation partner with a body of myriad medicines for her, but to no avail.

At this moment, murmurs drifted up from below.

"That's Lin Yi, with his ninth-grade useless spiritual root?"

"I heard the saintess dumped him?"

"No, I saw the saintess bring him here with my own eyes!"

Xin Zhilei's heart skipped a beat. "Lin Yi? A ninth-grade useless spiritual root? So it was him... the Myriad Herbs Spiritual Body!"

An inexplicable flutter of excitement instantly surged into my heart.

Meanwhile, a cold glint flashed in Mu Chen's eyes.

Ye Qingwan.

He pursued a woman for three years, but was always rejected.

Now, she's actually getting entangled with this good-for-nothing?

"Hmph, trash, you dare to challenge me?"

Mu Chen snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
