Zhuang Niaopao had always had his eyes on Qiqi, but Naipao didn't seem to be interested in her at all, so he couldn't make a decision on his own. He could only smile coldly and think about how he would open the door for her during the test!
Although the inn owner had given them a time limit of ten minutes, none of the participants dared to waste any time. It wasn't even five minutes when they all arrived at the plaza in front of the inn. Lin Yi and Yu Bing found a spot first and sat cross-legged on the ground. The other disciples came over and copied Lin Yi and Yu Bing, finding their own spots to sit down.
The owner of the inn, on the other hand, was standing straight on the flower altar in front of the square, his Earth class late phase peak power fully displayed, not hiding anything at all. Beside him was a woman dressed in white, around ten or so years of age, but Lin Yi's intuition and years of medical experience told him that this woman was definitely older than that. She should be at least thirty years old, but she took good care of herself. Was it because of her training in the heart, or was it because she had entered Sky class, reducing the aging of her face?
But, entering Sky class didn't mean that one could regain their youthfulness. After entering Sky class, one's face was fixed at the moment before they entered Sky class! This meant that this girl had broken through to Sky class at eighteen? Was that even possible?
Or perhaps the ancient noble houses had pills that could keep one's face forever, like the Face Pill. Lin Yi had seen this recipe in Zhang Liju's notes before, but while it could keep one's face forever, it couldn't extend one's lifespan. Even so, it was still a Golden class fourth level pill, and it was extremely difficult to make. The success rate was very low, and if the Ice Palace had it, then it wouldn't be easy!
Soon, all the disciples who had come to participate in the trial had arrived. They all sat down with their legs crossed, waiting for the Ice Palace Envoy to speak.
The woman nodded indifferently when she saw that everyone had arrived and said, "Since everyone is here, then let's begin! Let me introduce myself. I'm Xiao Qing, the maidservant of the Ice Palace's Palace Master. I'm also the emissary who will be bringing you to the Ice Palace's territory for the trial! "
Although this woman was just a servant, no one dared to look down on her. Looking at the way the inn owner was treating her with respect, it was easy to tell. The inn owner was an Earth class late phase peak, half a step into Sky class, but he was being so respectful to this servant. One could only imagine her position in the Ice Palace!
The Palace Master's maidservant. If the Palace Master was someone with absolute authority in the Ice Palace, then her maidservant was probably on the same level as the elders!
"You can call her Emissary Qing or Elder Qing." The inn owner reminded all the trial challengers present to prevent them from calling Little Blue the emissary and causing a lot of trouble!
Of course, they weren't idiots. If they couldn't even see through this, then they weren't fit to participate in this trial! These people were all smart people, how could they not understand this?
"Most of you are from hidden aristocratic families and sects, but there are a few who are special. They are from ancient aristocratic families and ancient sects!" Qing paused and glanced at the disciples present. She continued, "But in the eyes of the Ice Palace, there is no special treatment. We will treat everyone the same and will not give special treatment. Don't think that you have any sense of superiority, otherwise the Ice Palace will stop your right to participate and send out a notice to the ancient level. Your conduct will be reported and you will be listed as a member of the Black Viper Sect!"
Other than Naipao and Nitian, many of the hidden houses and sects' disciples were in an uproar after hearing Qing's words! Wasn't this Ice Palace a little too much? They didn't even give the ancient House Feng and the Sect any face at all!
Naipao and Nitian, on the other hand, knew that the Ice Palace was like a giant dam in the ancient sects. They didn't participate in the battle against the Day and Day Sect back then. If they did, then the Day and Day Sect wouldn't be doing so well right now!
The Ice Palace belonged to a relatively neutral force, drifting between the righteous and evil factions. The Ice Palace's people rarely participated in those struggles, instead, they focused on cultivation. This was also the reason why the Ice Palace had so many Heaven Rank experts.
"Don't worry, Elder Qing- since Brother Feng and I are in the Ice Palace's territory, we will follow the rules!" Naipao stood up and cupped his fist.
"Yes, Brother Naipao is right- we are here to participate in the trial, and we must follow the rules like everyone else!" Nitian said.
"Very good!" Qing nodded and continued, "Now, I'll briefly explain the rules of the trial- if you don't accept it, then you can leave. If you don't, then you'll have to pay the deposit. Tomorrow morning, the trial will officially begin! Xiao Li, read out the rules of the trial! "
"Yes, Elder Qing!" The inn owner hurriedly nodded his head, as he announced the rules of the trial in a clear voice. "The duration of this trial is three days. The trial location is the Ice Palace's outer perimeter, the Ice Snow Spirit Mountain. During the trial, you will be required to traverse various perilous situations, and harvest various herbs. Every time you obtain a herb, you will be rewarded with corresponding points. The points will be automatically assessed according to the quality of the herb! Of course, you can fight each other for points as well, but remember, you can hurt people, but you can't put people in danger! If you break this rule, you will be severely punished by the Ice Palace! "
This rule wasn't present in the previous trials. In the past trials, everyone had their own destiny, and the Ice Palace wouldn't interfere. But this time, it was different. Because there were disciples from ancient noble houses and ancient sects joining the trials, the Ice Palace added this rule for the sake of safety!
One, they were afraid that the disciples of the ancient noble houses and ancient sects would act recklessly and kill the disciples of the hidden houses and normal sects! Secondly, they were afraid that the disciples of the hidden aristocratic families and ancient sects would band together and attack the disciples of the ancient sects and ancient aristocratic families. This would increase the conflict, and the Ice Palace would form a grudge with the hidden aristocratic families and ancient aristocratic families!
In the future, not only would he not be able to continue holding trials to earn money, he would also have to form a grudge with the Sect of Tomorrow for Tomorrow and the ancient Feng Clan.
