Chapter 156 Chaos In The Examination Room
Chapter 156 Chaos In The Examination Room
"I have seen the senior."
Lu Yu quickly bowed to the female cultivator.
Although the female cultivator did not display an overwhelming spiritual pressure, being able to serve on the immortal ship of the Qingyun Shangmen sect, she must also be extraordinary.
The female cultivator showed a slight smile on her face and said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. This is my first time coming to Poyun City, but it's only because of the Qi Refining cultivators."
"You have impressed me by passing the evaluation of the Tianji guest cultivators."
"Come, quickly follow me."
She asked the female cultivator to familiarize Lu Yu with the immortal ship, but in reality, she only introduced a few quiet rooms.
Lu Yu lowered his head and followed behind the female cultivator. When his gaze fell on her swaying and plump figure, he quickly looked away.
After looking at a few quiet rooms, Lu Yu chose a relatively spacious one as his resting place.
Just as he sat down, intending to cultivate, he heard a pleasant laughter by his ear. "Fellow Daoist, if you have any instructions, feel free to call me."
The female cultivator left, and Lu Yu suddenly felt relieved.
He was only a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, and even though the senior had already restrained their aura, Lu Yu still felt immense pressure in his heart.
He closed his eyes.
He wanted to eliminate distractions and cultivate for another month.
But after a long time, distractions still lingered in his mind.
Lu Yu gave up and let out a suppressed breath. He then thought of his wives and concubines.
Obedient and compliant.
Wealthy and generous.
Mischievous and charming.
Resisting but also welcoming.
Various pleas and satisfied expressions echoed in his mind.
Thinking about it, he also thought of Jiang Yuru.
Her generosity was no less than Qin Qingrou's.
Her resistance and acceptance were even more so than Bailanshan's.
But once she entered a certain state, she became as obedient and compliant as Ling'er.
Thinking about her gradually surrendering, perhaps it would be a good choice to take her as a concubine next time he returned.
After thinking for a long time, the distractions in Lu Yu's mind disappeared, and he settled down.
After a few days, the immortal ship suddenly shook violently.
But the shaking only lasted for a moment before returning to stability.
After that, this kind of shaking happened several times.
Until a month passed.
The door to the quiet room was suddenly opened by the female cultivator from before.
"Fellow Daoist, it's time to disembark."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu quickly got up and walked to the bow of the ship. A gust of wind carried him to a magnificent mountain gate.
This mountain gate revealed a hint of extraordinary amidst its simplicity.
As he ascended the mountain path, the dense and even surging spiritual energy became more and more intense.
Lu Yu felt as if he was immersed in a pool of spiritual liquid formed by the condensed spiritual energy.
His five spiritual roots seemed to have been activated, jumping and eagerly absorbing the incoming spiritual energy.
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from above Lu Yu's head.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the place ahead is the assessment site. Until we meet again."
It was the voice of the Nascent Soul senior.
After that, a faint stream of light shot into the sky above his head.
Lu Yu calmed his mind and focused on walking along the mountain path.
But soon, he stopped in his tracks, showing a puzzled expression.
The mountain path disappeared at a cliff.
Not to mention any assessment, there wasn't even a trace of a flying bird here.
Lu Yu furrowed his brows slightly and extended his spiritual consciousness, but still found nothing.
Looking at the drifting white clouds on the horizon.
He suddenly remembered the exquisitely carved jade slip.
He flipped his palm and took it out.
Boom!
The cliff suddenly disappeared, and what appeared before his eyes was a magnificent and splendid Taoist temple.
At this moment, a green light flew out from the Taoist temple and arrived in front of Lu Yu. The light dissipated, revealing a tall cultivator with thin lips and eyebrows, and a somewhat stern expression.
The cultivator with a stern expression smiled and said, "Hello, Fellow Daoist. I am the guide for the guest cultivators of the Tianji Sect."
"Please follow me, Fellow Daoist."
Lu Yu quickly nodded and followed the cultivator with a stern expression.
He thought he was going to the Taoist temple.
But he was led to a side hall instead.
As soon as he entered the gate, he heard a mocking laughter.
"Oh, another person here for the assessment?"
"How can a Qi Refining cultivator participate in the assessment for guest cultivators of the Tianji Sect?"
"I think the eighth floor is just a favor. Don't say anything, be careful not to offend anyone."
After speaking, the other cultivators in the side hall fell silent, but their eyes towards Lu Yu were full of disdain.
Lu Yu quickly scanned the side hall and saw groups of cultivators gathered together.
Most of them were Foundation Building cultivators, and it seemed that they were all here to participate in the assessment for guest cultivators of the Tianji Sect.
He couldn't help but sigh. It was so difficult to meet the triggering conditions for the evaluation, yet so many cultivators managed to meet them.
It seemed that either the cultivators from other places had some special means to easily pass the evaluation, or the Qingyun Commercial Sect had numerous branches in various markets.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but take a cold breath.
The cultivator with a stern expression pointed to the side hall and said, "During each assessment, cultivators who have passed the evaluation from various places will gather here. The assessment will begin when there are thirty people."
"You are an alchemist, right? You must have seen the signs posted on the doors. Just follow the instructions and enter."
After speaking, the cultivator with a stern expression turned and left.
Lu Yu, with a slightly nervous expression, walked into a small door labeled "Alchemist" behind him.
There was no one behind the door, just a small quiet room. The room was not big, only enough for two or three people to sit cross-legged.
Lu Yu let out a sigh and sat down, entering a state of meditation.
In his meditation, he couldn't help but think of the earnest expectations of the shopkeeper and Senior Xu, as well as the envious glances of other cultivators.
Those scenes flashed before him, and finally settled on the scene of Senior Xu respectfully pleading with the Nascent Soul senior to take care of him.
After a while, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
This quiet room was too small, not even half the size of the quiet room he used to live in when he was in the village.
Lu Yu calmed his mind and cleared away distractions.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy here was abundant, making it a good place for cultivation. He practiced while quietly waiting.
After more than half a month, the noisy discussions outside the quiet room suddenly quieted down.
Lu Yu slightly opened his eyes and peeked out of the quiet room.
He saw the cultivator with a stern expression entering the side hall again.
He looked respectful, and there was also a dignified cultivator by his side. Behind them were two graceful female cultivators.
One of them was dressed as a glamorous young woman, with bright red rouge on her lips, and her voluptuous figure swayed greatly as she walked, as if she would accidentally bump into the other female cultivator next to her.
The other one was gentle and quiet, a young woman in her prime. She had a white jade phoenix hairpin inserted in her dignified updo.
Her plain white Taoist robe had a few golden threads outlining floating clouds, and the clouds seemed to be still as she walked.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, the environment here is chaotic. How can my niece find peace of mind?"
"Could you give me some face and arrange a better place for her?"
The cultivator with a stern expression looked at the small group of cultivators in the side hall and became somewhat displeased.
The cultivator responsible for guiding them helplessly bowed and said, "Senior, this is the arrangement of the main building. I dare not make other arrangements."
"But please rest assured, Senior. Once two or three more cultivators arrive, the assessment will begin."
"As long as you pass this initial screening, the environment will immediately change to a peaceful place."
The dignified cultivator still looked displeased and said, "It's only a few more days anyway. What are you afraid of?"
"My niece has such a distinguished status. How can she stay in such a chaotic place?"
