Tao Xiyi didn't come that night, and Lin Feng didn't even see her for the next few days.
After waiting for a few days, the first test finally began.
The cultivators who came to take the test were divided into batches and entered the testing hall. A stone platform was placed in the middle of the testing hall, and on the stone platform, there were runes imprinted.
The cultivator who wanted to take the test came before the stone platform and placed his hand on it. A star chart would appear.
Then, the disciple taking the test had to draw the star chart they saw.
Nebula Pavilion wasn't afraid of disciples cheating, because the testing elders of Nebula Pavilion all had a very special martial soul. They could sense whether someone was lying or not.
If one were to talk about the star chart they used to communicate with others, it would definitely cause some subtle changes in the body due to lying. For example, the heart would beat faster, the pupils would contract slightly, the change in mood, and so on. These were all methods used by the Nebula Pavilion elders to determine whether a cultivator was lying or not. The accuracy of these very experienced elders was almost one hundred percent.
One cultivator after another went to take the test. The elimination rate of the first test was extremely high, reaching fifty percent. Most of the cultivators who passed were only able to see a dozen or so star charts.
At this time, a young man around twenty years old went up. This person was called Liu Ming, and he actually saw seventy-two star charts, causing a commotion. He was immediately listed as a key observation target by the testing elders, causing many people to be envious.
The most shocking thing was still Lan Qianqian, who actually observed a hundred and forty-nine star charts, causing the elder in charge of the test to be incomparably happy.
"This Lan Qianqian's talent is astonishing," Lin Feng couldn't help but think to himself.
Yu Fan, on the other hand, had observed 52 star charts and was ranked third.
Han Shuo observed nine stargazing charts and barely passed. But at least he had passed the first test.
Lin Feng wasn't ostentatious. If he were to say that he saw more than seven hundred star charts, he would probably be immediately imprisoned by Nebula Pavilion for research. At that time, he wouldn't even know how he died. After joining a large sect, one had to be careful and hide one's strength. Keeping secrets and making a fortune in silence was the way of the king.
Lin Feng had drawn 50 stargazing maps. It wasn't considered ostentatious, but even with 50 stargazing maps, he was still ranked in the top ten.
After the test, Lin Feng, Yu Fan, and Han Shuo left the testing hall. Mo Shaoxie and the rest completed their test in another hall. Looking at their happy faces, they should have passed the first test. After seeing Lin Feng, Yu Fan, and Yu Fan, Mo Shaoxie and the rest hurried over to greet them.
Lin Feng chatted with them briefly before leaving with Yu Fan and Han Shuo.
Mo Shaoxie sighed. He could feel that Lin Feng was estranged from them. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of disgust towards Wu Yang and the others. If it weren't for Wu Yang, Xue Xun, and the others' mocking and ridiculing, their relationship wouldn't have deteriorated to this point. Lin Feng might have become a powerful expert in the future, but now, he was estranged from Lin Feng. He was filled with regret.
…
"Young Master, look, isn't that Lin Feng? Right now, the Eastern Divine Prefecture's Ao Tian Ancient Capital is looking for this brat. No wonder we couldn't find him, he ran to the Desolate Region. "
A cultivator in the distance pointed at Lin Feng who was walking away.
"It really is that brat!"
Shen Yuyang looked at Lin Feng with a gloomy expression.
Shen Yuyang was the young master of the Heavenly Dragon Merchant Guild. In the past, he had evil intentions towards Shangguan Fei'er. After a conflict with Lin Feng, he had spent a huge sum of money to hire assassins from the Assassin Dynasty to assassinate Lin Feng. However, the assassins were killed by Lin Feng instead.
Later on, Shen Yuyang disappeared from the True Martial Empire's Imperial Capital without a trace. He probably knew that the matter had been exposed, so he left the True Martial Empire.
This guy actually appeared in the Desolate Region.
Shen Yuyang sneered, "Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. That brat is unlucky to have met me here."
He waved his hand and left with his followers. Shen Yuyang entered a courtyard in the depths of Nebula Pavilion. This was where Elder Xing Xuan rested.
After Elder Xing Xuan saw Shen Yuyang, he was extremely happy. Elder Xing Xuan's cousin was Shen Yuyang's mother. In fact, even Shen Yuyang didn't know that his real father was Elder Xing Xuan. Back then, Elder Xing Xuan's identity was just an ordinary deacon of Nebula Pavilion. Shen Yuyang's mother was a disciple of Nebula Pavilion.
At that time, Shen Yuyang's mother was already engaged to the founder of the Heavenly Dragon Merchant Guild, who was also Shen Yuyang's nominal father, Shen Tianlong.
After getting pregnant, Shen Tianyu's mother left Nebula Pavilion and married Shen Tianlong, giving birth to Shen Yuyang.
Only Elder Xing Xuan and Shen Yuyang's mother knew about this. No one else knew, so Elder Xing Xuan treated Shen Yuyang very well.
"How's your mother?" Elder Xing Xuan asked.
"Mother is fine," Shen Yuyang said.
After a pause, Shen Yuyang hesitated.
"You seem to have something to say. Why are you hemming and hawing? "
Shen Yuyang said, "Uncle, it's like this. When I was in the Eastern Divine Province, I was almost killed by a brat. I just saw him at Nebula Pavilion."
Hearing that Shen Yuyang had almost been killed by someone, Elder Xing Xuan's expression suddenly sank. Elder Xing Xuan asked, "Who was it?"
"It was a brat called Lin Feng. He's a demonic spy and is unpardonably evil. He's currently wanted by Ao Tian Ancient Capital. I don't know how he came to the Wasteland, but it seems like he's participating in Nebula Pavilion's test."
As Shen Yuyang spoke, he naturally wanted to viciously slander Lin Feng.
"It's him?" Elder Xing Xuan frowned slightly.
"Uncle, do you know him?" Shen Yuyang asked.
"This brat once contributed a treasure to an almighty from Nebula Pavilion. That almighty asked Nebula Pavilion to take care of him," Elder Xing Xuan said with a frown. As for Shen Yuyang's claim that Lin Feng was a demonic spy, Elder Xing Xuan didn't believe it. How could almighty Zong Yun not be able to tell if Lin Feng was a demonic spy?
"Uncle! Back then, I almost died at that brat's hands. If I hadn't escaped quickly enough, we would have been separated by life and death. " Shen Yuyang continued to add oil to the fire. He knew that this uncle of his seemed to have an extraordinary love for him. The more miserable he made himself sound, the angrier his uncle would be.
Shen Yuyang secretly glanced at his uncle. Seeing the gloomy expression on his uncle's face, Shen Yuyang felt happy in his heart. He continued to speak, "Uncle, think about it, why would a powerhouse pay attention to a little cultivator? Even if he died, it could be said that he died while gaining experience. Those powerhouses would also not investigate the truth for a little cultivator, right? Moreover, almighties often go into seclusion for years or even decades. By the time they come out, they'll have long forgotten about a brat they've only met once. "
Elder Xing Xuan nodded. "Even if you really want to get rid of that brat, you have to do it cleanly. How about this: I'll send someone to help you get rid of him."
Elder Xing Xuan summoned a servant and had Lv Shihai released. When Lv Shihai saw Elder Xing Xuan, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Elder Xing Xuan said, "Lv Shihai, I'll give you a chance to atone for your crimes. Help my nephew kill someone, and once you're done, I'll restore your position."
"Shihai is willing to do anything for you. May I know who you want me to kill, sir?"
"Lin Feng." Elder Xing Xuan sneered.
When he heard that the person he wanted to kill was Lin Feng, Lv Shihai was so excited that his whole body trembled. He said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can't wait to cut that brat into pieces."
"Alright, I'm not worried about you. However, that brat seems to know soul techniques. You don't have to compete with him in soul techniques. Just use your soul to protect your own soul, then use your cultivation to crush him. You can easily take his life," Elder Xing Xuan said.
Elder Xingxuan said.
"I understand. I'll definitely kill that brat," said Lin Feng. Lv Shihai said fiercely.
"Alright, you may leave." Elder Xing Xuan waved his hand.
Lv Shihai retreated.
Shen Yuyang said, "Uncle, this Lv Shihai …"
"Once we're done, he can't be left alive." Elder Xing Xuan's eyes flashed with killing intent.
