As for the twelfth place trial-taker, just like the eleventh place trial-taker before him, he was so excited that his face was flushed red!
Yu Bing and Qijiu chose to stay in the Ice Palace, becoming outer disciples. Yu Bing was different from Lin Yi, and different from Qikun. Without Yu Shan's threat, he wasn't in a rush to go back. Plus, Yu Shan had just gotten injured, and even if it wasn't because of him, he had to be responsible for it. Yu Bing didn't believe that Yu Shan wouldn't tell on him, and his grandpa might punish him out of anger!
However, things would be different if he stayed in the Ice Palace to train. Once he broke through to the Earth class and returned to the family, everything would be settled, and it would be a matter of time before he took over the position of the young master as an Earth class.
The top ten participants, other than Lin Yi, Qiqi, and Qikun, all chose to stay in the Ice Palace and become outer disciples! As far as they were concerned, it wasn't worth it to participate in the test just for the exchange rights.
"Take care!" Lin Yi patted Yu Bing's shoulder, smiling. "I can't interfere with your choice, but if you don't have any hope of breaking through here, you can come back to me!"
This was Lin Yi's promise to Yu Bing- Lin Yi wasn't someone who made promises easily, but once he did, he would always keep it! As long as Lin Yi broke through to Earth class, he would be able to mass produce Earth class practitioners, and when Yu Bing came back to him, he would be able to help him increase his strength.
"You too- I'll try my best to help you with your conflict with House Yu, but for Ning 'er, I hope you can bear with it!" Yu Bing nodded solemnly.
"Alright! As long as House Yu doesn't cause trouble for me, I won't mess with them. "Lin Yi said.
"I knew you'd say that!" Yu Bing sighed. He wasn't sure whether or not House Yu would mess with Lin Yi. He wasn't the head of the house yet, and he couldn't control House Yu's affairs.
"Those who want to stay in the Ice Palace and become outer sect disciples, follow Little Li to handle the entry procedures for you. Those who want the right to exchange for the treasures, follow me!" Little Qing said, "The rewards for the top three in this trial will be chosen from the heavenly treasures obtained in this trial. Distribute them as soon as possible."
At this point, Lin Yi had no choice but to say goodbye to Yu Bing. He didn't know when they would meet again, but the two nodded at each other. There was no need to say anything else.
The tavern owner left with the remaining challengers, while Qing continued to speak to the remaining challengers who hadn't won, "The trial is over, everyone can go back. But I have to remind everyone, don't cause trouble in my Ice Palace territory. Once you leave the town, do as you please!"
"Yes!" The challengers nodded their heads. How could they dare to disobey Little Qing's words?
Qing brought Lin Yi, Qiqi, and Qikun back to the Ice Palace, and the other challengers left as well.
"Do you want the exchange right now, or do you want to go back and discuss it first?" Qing brought Lin Yi and the other two to a waiting room outside the Ice Palace. "If you want to exchange right now, just tell me. When we go back, I'll give you a token from the Ice Palace!"
"I'm not exchanging for now. I need to go back to my house first," Qikun said.
"Alright, take this. If you need it, you can use this token to come to the town and find the owner, Little Li." Qing handed a strange stone tablet to Qikun.
Qikun quickly took it and put it away carefully.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Qing couldn't help but frown when she saw that Qikun was still standing there after taking the token.
"I …" Qikun paused, not expecting Qing to kick him out so soon. He didn't dare disobey, though. "I'll go now …"
Qikun had wanted to wait for Lin Yi to go back with him, but it seemed like that dream was gone now. Qikun didn't want to leave right away, though. He wanted to wait for Lin Yi at the inn.
"I'll wait for you at the inn!" With that, Qikun walked out of the waiting room. There were already disciples waiting outside, ready to send him down the mountain.
"Ling Yi, Qiqi, what about you guys?" Qing asked after Qikun left.
"You go first." Lin Yi guessed that what he wanted was probably something precious in the Ice Palace. It'd be troublesome to bargain, so he let Qiqi go first.
"I need a thousand-year-old snow lotus!" Qiqi said. "I don't have anything to exchange, but I can buy it with money!"
"A thousand-year-old snow lotus?" Little Qing frowned slightly, but she still nodded and said, "Although it's a bit expensive, I really don't know if you have such a precious thing if you want to exchange it with heavenly treasures. However, you can use money to buy it! Five billion, if you accept it, I'll have someone take you there. "
Five billion … Qiqi felt a bit dizzy. It wasn't a lot for a thousand-year-old snow lotus, but it was a lot for Qiqi. Five billion was the amount of pocket money she'd had since she was young, plus the money she'd earned from missions these past few years. It wasn't even one-tenth of that amount!
But, Qiqi really needed it. Otherwise, her sister Lil 'Jiu's life would be in danger. She gritted her teeth. "Fine! I'll trade! "
Qiqi's family was self-sufficient in terms of education, and the family usually didn't give too much money to support them. They would only get an allowance every month until they turned eighteen.
And so, if Qiqi wanted to trade five billion for the lotus, she'd have to borrow money from her family!
That's right, borrow! She'd have to complete more missions in the future to pay back her family's debt.
"Take her to the transaction." Qing waved her hand, and an Ice Palace disciple walked over, bringing Qiqi to trade for the lotus.
The thousand-year-old snow lotus wasn't a normal snow lotus, but an extremely rare one! Normal snow lotuses had a flowering period, and they didn't bloom all year round. The thousand-year-old snow lotus, on the other hand, bloomed all year round, and only grew in the snowy mountains of the extreme north!
