Ghaus's heart was filled with hatred. This old man from the Li Clan shouldn't have touched his sore spot. Seeing the gazes of the crowd landing on him, Ghaus felt that this was the first time he had felt so humiliated.
He had arrogantly said that Qin Wentian was useless, yet Qin Wentian single-handedly obtained the top position for the White Deer Institute. Ghaus had nothing to do with this.
How could he have imagined that Qin Wentian, who was so young, would have such high attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions? Since this was the case, why did the White Deer Institute still invite him? Could it be that even the White Deer Institute didn't know how high Qin Wentian's attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions were?
Not only was Ghaus taken aback, the spectators from the Star-Seizing Manor were all deeply shocked as they cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian.
In the future, this young man had the chance to become a fourth-ranked Grandmaster like Grandmaster Fenrir.
The status of a fourth-ranked Grandmaster was completely different from that of a third-ranked Grandmaster. A fourth-ranked Grandmaster could inscribe fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptions and inscribe fourth-ranked grand formations. Fourth-ranked grand formations could deal with Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns.
This was the reason why the Yan Clan was willing to sacrifice Yan Kong. Because of the existence of the White Deer Institute, they couldn't kill Qin Wentian. In that case, they wouldn't be able to obstruct his growth.
Since there was no way to obstruct him, the only way was to resolve the enmity between them. Hence, they sacrificed Yan Kong.
Qin Wentian's countenance was calm. Obtaining the top position in the exchange was something he had promised Bailu Yi. Similarly, he needed an opportunity like this as well. This way, the White Deer Institute would have a clearer understanding of him, and his path in the future would be much smoother.
"Thank you all for your hard work." At this moment, atop the city walls, the sharp-eyed middle-aged man beside Grandmaster Fenrir glanced at the participants as he indifferently stated, "According to the agreement, the White Deer Institute, other than the Grandmasters participating in the exchange, can bring another ten people with them to the Refinement Grounds. The Watermoon Mountain Villa can bring eight, and the Demon Cult can bring six."
Everyone nodded their heads. They had prepared for this exchange for a long time precisely for the sake of this. Now, they had finally obtained the qualifications to participate.
"Three days later, bring your men and gather here. After that, we will set off for the Refinement Grounds. In addition, the other transcendent powers of the Moon Continent will also be heading there at the same time. Now, go and prepare yourselves." The sharp-looking middle-aged man continued, his words causing the countenances of the crowd to stiffen.
They all understood very well that the fortuitous encounters in this trial were great, but there was also great danger.
In the Eastern Divine Region, other than these three powers, there was also the Zhaixing Manor. Outside of the Eastern Divine Region, there were three other transcendent powers in the Moon Continent, and all of them would be bringing many people to the training grounds. However, there would be intense competition between these powers, and in addition to the inherent dangers of the training grounds, this would definitely not be an easy training ground.
"The Daoist Cultivation Grounds of the Celestial Lord, the participants this time around should all be existences at the peak of Yuanfu. Since Yang Fan is participating, what about the other rankers on the Heavenly Fate Rankings?"
Many people thought this, but they still stood up one after another, bowed towards the top of the city walls, and then left.
After the departure of the crowd, Fenrir smiled at the sharp-looking middle-aged man, "These people are not bad. It seems like the number of participants entering the Refinement Grounds this time around would be unprecedented."
The middle-aged man nodded his head, "What a pity, it would be perfect if Grandmaster Fenrir could enter as well."
"Haha, if I can enter, the Heavenly Star Border Realm cultivators of the Zhaixing Manor would be able to as well, and there would be nothing left for me to do. Since today's matter has come to an end, I shall take my leave." Fenrir clasped his hands, bid farewell, and left.
"Yang Fan, what do you think?" The sharp-looking middle-aged man asked Yang Fan.
"Let's hope that they would be of some use," Yang Fan replied in a low voice.
In his eyes, no matter how powerful a third-ranked Divine Inscriptionist was, they were still just Divine Inscriptionists. To many, they might be extremely important, but to a transcendent power like Yang Fan, being a Divine Inscriptionist was just another occupation, there was nothing special about it.
He didn't lack Divine Weapons. In terms of combat prowess, he was confident that he would be able to kill them a hundred times over.
From Yang Fan's point of view, for Stellar Martial Cultivators, strength was everything.
These Divine Inscriptionists would only be of some use to him when he entered the Refinement Grounds. That was all.
… …
In the White Deer Institute, after Qin Wentian and the rest returned, the mood of the White Deer Institute was extremely good. Now that they had obtained the first position, they would be able to obtain ten slots.
Entering the Refinement Grounds of Divine Inscriptions, every single slot was extremely important to them. It meant that they would be able to have another expert enter the Refinement Grounds.
At this moment, in a great hall, several members of the White Deer Institute were gathered. Qin Wentian was present as well, but Ghaus wasn't present.
Ghaus knew that he had no face to return to the White Deer Institute, and hence, he didn't return with those from the White Deer Institute.
The White Deer Institute naturally didn't mind Ghaus's departure. With Qin Wentian around, Ghaus's usefulness was negligible. However, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. They initially thought that Ghaus would be able to help, but who would have thought that the arrogant Ghaus would end up in a conflict with Qin Wentian.
"With regards to the candidates for the Refinement Grounds, does anyone have any opinions?"
In the great hall, there were several elders of the White Deer Institute present. At this moment, the large-eyed elder spoke, seeking the opinions of the crowd.
"Since the first position was obtained by Qin Wentian, why don't we first ask him if he has any requests?" A scholarly looking old man in white faintly spoke. The large-eyed elder nodded, "It's only right."
After speaking, he turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian as he smiled, "Qin Wentian, the reason why we obtained the first position is because of you. Let me briefly explain to you the details of the Refinement Grounds. Recently, there's a high possibility that the Refinement Grounds are the Dao-Cultivation Grounds of an Ascendant. For Ascendants who are proficient in Divine Inscriptions, they would be able to obtain great fortune, but at the same time, they would also face immense danger. This time around, there would definitely be many geniuses from the various transcendent powers."
"Since you've obtained the first position, do you have any requests for the candidates?"
An expression of contemplation appeared on Qin Wentian's face. This time around, there would be both fortune and danger. If one's strength was too weak, they would definitely encounter unforeseen dangers. Even with Chu Mang's strength, he wouldn't be able to survive.
If there was any danger, the first person the Institute would protect would definitely be Bailu Yi, followed by him.
"The Institute has already decided, I have no requests." Qin Wentian indifferently replied. It was best if Chu Mang and Fan Le didn't enter. The people of the White Deer Institute wouldn't be able to protect them all.
"Since you have no requests, let's make the decision then. Little Yi, accompany Wentian out for a walk." The large-eyed elder smiled at Bailu Yi. Bailu Yi glanced at Qin Wentian and glared at him, causing a bitter smile to appear on Qin Wentian's face.
After exiting the great hall, Qin Wentian couldn't help but to smile bitterly when he saw that Bailu Yi's pure countenance was still filled with anger. "Why are you glaring at me?"
"Now that the people of the Institute have misunderstood, I'm afraid that even if I tried to explain, nobody would listen to me." Bailu Yi gloomily stated. Earlier, the large-eyed elder had nodded to her with a smile, allowing her to accompany Qin Wentian for a walk. How could Bailu Yi not know what this meant? The large-eyed elder had already acknowledged Qin Wentian, and didn't object to their relationship.
However, she and Qin Wentian were innocent, yet the elders of the Institute still thought that there was something between them. How could she not be depressed?
"Do you want me to explain?" Qin Wentian shrugged.
"Do you really want to draw a clear line between us?" Bailu Yi's lips twitched. Momentarily, black lines appeared on Qin Wentian's forehead. The thoughts of beauties were truly unfathomable.
Seeing the embarrassed look on Qin Wentian's face, a smile blossomed on Bailu Yi's face. "I'm just teasing you, there's no need to explain. Let's go, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the Hell Arena for a stroll. Recently, I've been depleting my Yuan Meteor Stones at a rapid rate. I still need to enter the Refinement Grounds, so I need to make some preparations first." Qin Wentian laughed, causing Bailu Yi to roll her eyes.
What did this fellow treat the Hell Arena as? A place where Yuan Meteor Stones were sent to him?
However, after witnessing Qin Wentian's performance in the Hell Arena, Bailu Yi could only be speechless. Now that he had stepped into the third level of Yuanfu, his opponents were naturally at the same level as him. Yet, there was still no one who could defeat him. This monstrous fellow was unrivalled within the same level, nobody could pose a threat to him.
His battle record instantly rose from sixty consecutive victories to ninety.
Kirin's name was known by more and more people. When he was at the second level of Yuanfu, he won sixty consecutive victories. And not long after, when he stepped into the third level of Yuanfu, he won another thirty consecutive victories. The next time he appeared, he would most probably join the ranks of those who had achieved a hundred consecutive victories.
The names of those who achieved a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Arena were all extremely famous.
It was unknown if Kirin would be able to break the record of the Hell Arena!
… …
In the Pill Emperor Hall, they were also discussing the matter regarding the Refinement Grounds.
The four transcendent powers of the Moon Continent were jointly in charge of the entrance to the Refinement Grounds. They had an agreement that every year when the Refinement Grounds opened, each transcendent power must send an equal number of people to enter. This time around, the number of participants was set at twenty.
"Zhan Chen, for this Refinement Grounds, you will be the leader," a middle-aged man spoke to the person standing in front of him.
This young man exuded an aura of elegance and was extraordinarily handsome. With a single glance, he looked like an ordinary scholar.
He was none other than a Heaven's Chosen from the Pill Emperor Hall, ranked # 11 on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, Zhan Chen.
"Disciple understands." Zhan Chen nodded his head lightly. After which, he shifted his gaze onto a beautiful middle-aged woman standing beside the middle-aged man. Although this beautiful woman was already quite old, she exuded an aura of maturity. When she was younger, she must have been a femme fatale.
This woman was none other than the beloved daughter of the Pill Emperor, Luo He.
"Martial Aunt, I wonder which Junior Brother and Junior Sister are you planning to send? Junior Sister Qingcheng, I'm afraid Martial Aunt won't allow you to enter." Zhan Chen smiled at Luo He.
"Qingcheng's cultivation base isn't high enough, it's best if she doesn't take the risk. However, Bai Fei wishes to go, I won't stop her. Just bring her along." Luo He smiled at Zhan Chen.
"Junior Sister, you really dote on Qingcheng a lot. You can't bear to see her take the risk." The middle-aged man beside her laughed. "These days, those fellows all wanted to discuss marriage, yet they were all rejected by you. Junior Sister, do you have any plans in mind?"
"What plans can I have? I'll leave it up to her. I heard that the Hua Clan has their own plans, but I don't really wish for Qingcheng to marry into the Hua Clan. Sadly, Zhan Chen already has a companion, if not I would have betrothed Qingcheng to Zhan Chen." Luo He laughed. Evidently, she was extremely fond of this Heaven's Chosen from the Pill Emperor Hall!
