"It's Xiaochen, right? Did something important happen, coming to see me all of a sudden? "Old Yu asked as Xiaochen and Yu Yi walked in.
"Father, I do have something important to discuss with you," Xiaochen said solemnly. With that, he looked at Yu Yi- Yu Yi had always been by his father's side, so Xiaochen didn't know if he could trust him or not.
"Go ahead, Yu Yi is someone I trust. He'll be a great help to you in the future!" Elder Yu saw through Yu Xiaochen's intentions and waved his hand.
Xiaochen nodded and passed the letter to his father, "Father, the Ice Palace has sent a letter, the Ice Palace's test is starting soon!"
"Oh? The Ice Palace's trial is starting again? " Even someone as calm as Elder Yu had a look of surprise on his face after hearing Yu Xiaochen's words! He took a deep breath and opened the letter, reading it quickly, "This is our chance to hide House Yu! I didn't think that the Ice Palace's test would start again! When I was young, I participated in the Ice Palace's test once, and you weren't around then. After that, I became an outer disciple of the Ice Palace, and it's been five years, and I've learned a lot! "
Xiaochen naturally knew what his father had been through when he was young, and he knew what the Ice Palace's test was for!
The Ice Palace's trial was an invitation sent out by one of the ancient sects, the Ice Palace. It was a trial set up for the young experts. After the trial, the ones who won would get the chance to stay in the Ice Palace and become an outer sect disciple. Once they became an outer sect disciple, their future would be limitless!
Even if it was just an outer disciple, it was more than enough! Outer disciples, as the name suggested, meant that they could stay in the Ice Palace to train, but they didn't have a master to guide them. These people could get some spiritual medicine from time to time, but other than training, they had to take on the daily chores of the Ice Palace, such as fetching water, chopping firewood, patrolling the mountains, cleaning, cooking, and so on.
The people of the Ice Palace would also guide these outer disciples from time to time! These outer sect disciples, each of them had to cultivate for five years. After five years, unless there was a particularly talented disciple who could stay and become an inner sect disciple, the others would have to leave.
But even if it was only five years, the qi in the Ice Palace wasn't something a normal place could compare to. Old Ancestor Yu's rise started in those five years, turning him from a Golden class late phase peak to a Mystic late phase peak in five years!
Although this kind of cultivation speed wasn't the fastest, it was still outstanding because there were people who had broken through to the Earth-rank!
Of course, if Old Yu knew how long Lingshan took to break through from Golden class early phase peak to Mystic class early phase, he'd probably be pissed to death.
"Yes, father- that's why I came to see you as soon as I got the letter!" Xiaochen said.
"The requirements have been raised, but our House Yu still qualified- the requirements have been raised from Golden class mid phase to Mystic class early phase, and the deposit has been raised to a hundred million as well." Old Yu said, "But that's not a big deal."
"Yes, but the letter also mentioned that there are two types of rewards. Which one should we choose?" Xiaochen nodded.
The first type was already mentioned by Old Yu, and that was to become an outer disciple of the Ice Palace. They'd train in the Ice Palace for five years, and they'd receive some of the Ice Palace's elixirs and training guidance. But how much they could learn would depend on themselves.
The second type of reward was the right to exchange for treasures! To put it bluntly, if you wanted something, and the Ice Palace happened to have it, then you could use treasures or money of equivalent value to exchange for it!
But couldn't they just exchange it? Why did they have to pay a hundred million and pass the test to exchange? Wasn't that a little harsh? In fact, it was that harsh! You may have a Heaven and Earth treasure in your hands, but this kind of Heaven and Earth treasure may not be of any use to your family. It's just a priceless treasure in your hands. It won't be easy for you to exchange it for the Heaven and Earth treasure you want! Similarly, if you have money in your hands, you can't buy the Heavenly Treasures that you want so easily. That's why they're so domineering. If you want to trade, you have to follow their rules!
Of course, one shouldn't underestimate this trading right- if the winner didn't choose to stay in the Ice Palace as an outer disciple, then they'd get a trading right- they could trade with the Ice Palace for what they wanted, and it was a permanent deal. If they didn't want it, they could trade it later!
But, the thing you wanted to trade had to be agreed to by the Ice Palace as well- if you wanted something that the Ice Palace needed as well, then they wouldn't give it to you.
"Naturally, it's the first. The second reward method, unless there's something the house really needs, no one would want to take advantage of it!" Old Ancestor Yu smiled, "I'm afraid all the houses are going for the first reward method!"
"That's right- if it wasn't something they really needed, who would spend a hundred million to get the right to trade? Plus, they might not even be able to get it," Xiaochen nodded, "Then, father, who do you think should go?"
"Yu Bing and Yu Shan," Elder Yu said, "We'll send two people this time- let them go."
"Yu Bing as well?" Xiaochen paused, naturally approving of Yu Shan going to the Ice Palace's test. Yu Shan was the son of his second brother, and he was very talented. But there were always fights in every big house, and Yu Shan was talented, so naturally he wanted to be the third heir of House Yu!
But from a selfish point of view, Xiaochen still wanted his son Yu Bing to be the next heir!
