Yan Chutian brought the girl back to the inn. With her mysterious background, it was naturally not a problem for her to stay in the inn.
After settling down in the inn, Yan Chutian brought the girl to Mu Wan's room. During the process, he exchanged identities with the girl and found out that the girl's name was Yan Ningzhu.
After knocking on the door, the door was opened in a moment. The same beautiful face came into view. However, when this flawless face looked at the girl behind Yan Chutian, her gentle brows immediately furrowed.
Yan Chutian knew that Mu Wan might have misunderstood, but it was not the time to talk outside. He could only bring Yan Ningzhu into the room first before explaining to Mu Wan.
After the explanation, Mu Wan's furrowed brows gradually relaxed. Since it was related to the quota for the safe passage, she naturally agreed. She had a simple conversation with Yan Ningzhu and exchanged identities.
After Yan Ningzhu returned to her room, Yan Chutian was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat in a corner of the room and sipped his tea.
"Is she reliable?"
Suddenly, Mu Wan asked softly. They could not afford to lose the quota for the safe passage. Of course, they would not feel at ease if a mysterious woman suddenly appeared.
However, Yan Chutian could not answer Mu Wan's question. He also did not know much about Yan Ningzhu, so he could only guess. "She has her own secrets. However, it is true that she wants to enter the Central Plains. Therefore, the cooperation should be real."
"As long as we enter the Central Plains, we can part ways with her. Whether she has other intentions or not, it has nothing to do with us."
Hearing this, Mu Wan did not say anything else. She closed her beautiful eyes and quietly sat cross-legged. After closing her eyes for a moment, Mu Wan suddenly opened them again. She looked at Yan Chutian who had picked up his teacup and was taking another sip. Puzzled, she asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"Ahem …"
"Gone … I got it …"
Yan Chutian looked embarrassed. He suddenly remembered that the woman in front of him was not Qiu Yu, but Mu Wan, so he quickly put down the cup and left the room.
…
Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye. During this time, Yan Chutian continued to consolidate his cultivation. He had just entered the Spirit Transformation Realm and was approaching the mid stage. Breaking through to the mid stage was just around the corner. On the other hand, Mu Wan's progress was much faster than his. Yan Chutian understood that this was more or less due to Qiu Yu's help. Even if he was jealous, he couldn't do anything about it.
As he continued to cultivate, the effects of the Spirit Gathering Disk became smaller and smaller. This made Yan Chutian realize that it was urgent to create a stronger Spirit Gathering Disk or Spirit Gathering Array. However, even in this Central Plains City, the materials required to create the Spirit Gathering Array were not enough. In half a month's time, he had only managed to gather about seventy to eighty percent.
As for creating a stronger Spirit Gathering Disk, Yan Chutian thought about it for a bit and didn't think about it anymore. That kind of Spirit Gathering Disk would be much larger than the one he had now and couldn't be put away like the Spirit Gathering Array. It would be too inconvenient to carry around.
At this moment, standing in the corridor of the inn, Yan Chutian looked at Mu Wan and Yan Ningzhu, who were slowly walking out of their rooms. He slowly said, "Let's go. There are already a lot of cultivators gathered in the square. The three trials can begin at any moment."
"Mhmm."
The two women nodded in unison. Even from inside the inn, they could hear the whistling sounds coming from outside. It was the sound of cultivators moving quickly, causing the wind to howl.
Hearing this sound, Yan Chutian couldn't help but smile helplessly. At this moment, his heart was gradually becoming hot-blooded. It was as if he was looking forward to the wonderful competition for the spots.
It seemed that even though his consciousness had experienced hundreds of battles, his body was still immature!
When the three of them stepped out of the inn and walked toward the square of the Central Plains City, they saw a sea of people in the distance.
There was an open space in the center of the crowd, and there was a dragon-shaped pillar quietly placed there. It was mighty and domineering.
There were several figures wearing different clothes guarding the dragon pillar. Their bodies emitted a terrifying aura of spirit force, showing their powerful strength at the Spirit Transformation Realm. Even if there were more powerful cultivators in the crowd, they did not dare to act presumptuously in front of these guards. That was because every type of clothing represented a power, and was the face of a power. Who would dare to slap their faces in public?
Even when Yan Chutian's group of three mixed into the crowd, the crowd was still silent. This silence lasted for a long time until the sun was high in the sky. Then, a mysterious aura shot out from an unknown place and descended beside the dragon pillar.
They were all middle-aged men, women, or old men. Every single one of them had an extremely powerful aura, and when they arrived, the guards lowered their heads and bowed respectfully. From this, it was not difficult to guess their identities. They were definitely the experts sent by the eight auxiliary forces, and they were in charge of the distribution of the idle spots this time.
After all, the forces of the five regions disdained to deal with this kind of thing. They only needed to arrange for their own people to enter and exit the safe passage.
When these supervisors appeared, the surrounding people all lowered their heads. Even Yan Chutian and Mu Wan lowered their heads to avoid unnecessary trouble. Only Yan Ningzhu lowered her head and looked around. When she saw that the people she was worried about weren't among them, she let out a sigh of relief and her beautiful face became even more relaxed.
Soon after, a white-haired, skinny old woman with a wooden crutch stepped forward. She narrowed her old eyes and slowly glanced at the crowd. She coughed softly and said in a hoarse voice, "This time, there are a total of thirty-three idle spots in the No. 3 safe passage. So, you only have thirty-three chances."
"I won't say much. This time, only those who pass the three tests will be qualified to obtain a spot. However, before you pass, you need to prove that you have the strength to pass. As long as you can make the black bead in the mouth of the dragon pillar shine, you will prove your qualifications. Each person only has two chances to prove themselves."
As her voice fell, the old woman signaled to the two guardian xiuzhe with her eyes. The two immediately walked forward with pen and paper in their hands. They shouted, "Those who wish to fight for a spot, come forward and prove your qualifications at the Dragon Pillar. We will leave your name on the list for you to participate in the three checkpoints."
The moment they finished speaking, a figure shot out from the crowd and landed before the dragon pillar.
This was a young man around 20 years old. He had a proud expression and a powerful aura. He had already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm. However, his spirit force was still a bit impure. Even though he had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, it had only been a short time, so his spirit force hadn't completely transformed yet.
But all in all, his cultivation was considered to be in the middle or even slightly above average among the surrounding people.
However, when the Spirit Transformation young man gathered all his spirit force and threw a punch, he couldn't make the dragon bead in the dragon pillar shine at all. This caused an uproar. Could it be that the difficulty of making the dragon bead shine was so high?
"This …"
The Spirit Transformation cultivator found it hard to believe. He couldn't believe that the punch he gathered all his strength with couldn't even obtain the qualifications to participate in the three tests.
"You still have a second chance."
