The Lake of the Purifying Soul was located in the first region and was one of the treasures of the Holy Island.
Though it was not as valuable as the other treasures, it was still very attractive. Many people came to the lake to bathe and purify their souls.
Currently, Ling Xian was sitting in the middle of the lake. Like an old monk, he was not moving.
After leaving the Holy Temple, he returned to the Lake of the Purifying Soul. His journey was peaceful and he didn't encounter any obstacles or attract anyone's attention.
Because the Lake of the Purifying Soul was a treasured place, it was normal for him to stay here for a few days.
"Sadly, I didn't get any information about that spiritual medicine."
Ling Xian opened his eyes. He felt a little regretful. But after thinking about it, it turned into joy.
He had already gained a lot this time. Not only had he obtained the most important Dark Fragrance Silk, but he had also obtained the Phoenix Parasol Tree, which was a pleasant surprise. He was already very lucky.
"Now that I think about it, I have to thank that old fox. If I didn't encounter him, I wouldn't have gotten the Beautiful Silk."
Ling Xian softly smiled, feeling extremely lucky.
If Lao Wangu didn't enter the temple first, the person tied up by the Fairy Binding Rope would be him. Even if he could break through the inhibition spells, he wouldn't be able to open the ball of light.
Even if he took 10,000 steps back and broke through all the obstacles, without Lao Wangu attracting the attention of the Young Island Leader, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
"I wonder how that old fox is doing. Did he get caught or did he escape?"
Ling Xian softly sighed, a little worried. But when he remembered how mysterious the Steal Sect was, he stopped worrying.
With the abilities of the Steal Sect's descendants and the slyness of that old fox, he should be fine.
"I hope you are safe. Don't forget, you owe me a clue."
Ling Xian smiled and took out the Beautiful Silk and the Phoenix Parasol Tree from his storage pouch.
Of course, these two treasures had been sealed by him. Not only were they not emitting any light, they were also not emitting any energy. Or else he wouldn't have dared to take them out in front of everyone.
"If I'm not mistaken, the people from the Sacred Island will definitely search for you. They might even search through the storage bags of every participant."
"Even though I will not allow them to search, I cannot guarantee that the Holy Island won't ignore everyone's anger and search by force."
"Therefore, it is safer to add a few more layers of seals."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. If this was any other time, he wouldn't be this careful. However, it was different this time. His opponent was the Sacred Island, which even the top forces were afraid of!
Although the best way was to hide it, what if the Sacred Island came looking for it at the end of the trial? In that case, he wouldn't have a chance to retrieve the treasure.
Therefore, he could only think of a way to change the appearance and temperament of the two treasures.
"I can only use the Psychedelic Array. Hopefully, I can deceive everyone."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Flapping around his sleeve, arrays of illusions appeared and covered the Beautiful Silk Silk and the Phoenix Parasol Tree.
Apart from these two treasures, the Reincarnation Shard, the Divine Book of Genesis, the Dao Seeking Sword, and other treasures also had their appearances and auras altered.
It couldn't be helped, these were all world shocking treasures, anyone would be tempted by them. Even the Island Lord of the Sacred Island would be greedy.
Therefore, Ling Xian had to be careful.
Immediately, he created several illusionary arrays that covered all of his treasures.
After that, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, was finally at ease.
Though the Psychedelic Array wasn't a high leveled array, he was already at the peak of it. The current him already had the ability to turn something rotten into something magical in the Array Dao. Even basic spirit arrays could shine brilliantly in his hands.
Therefore, Ling Xian believed that even if the Island Lord came personally, he wouldn't be able to see through his array.
"Now there's no problem. Even if the Sacred Island tries to search, I don't have to worry." Ling Xian grinned and no longer worried.
Then, he placed the treasures into his storage pouch and took out his jade token. He couldn't help but to shake his head and laugh.
All because he only had 1,000 points.
This was something he accumulated automatically after entering the first area.
When he saw the giant screen through his jade token, he laughed out loud.
The person at the top of the list was the seventh demon. With 13,224 points, he was at the top.
The person in second place was named You Ming. It was an unfamiliar name, but it could also be a code. His points were only 1,000 less than the seventh demon's. The two of them were very close.
The third person's points were about the same. His name was the Emperor of Medicine and he was a famous candidate for the Emperor of the Black Tortoise Continent. Not only was his battling abilities powerful, but his alchemy skills were also extraordinary. Even famous alchemists cannot compare to him.
The people after him had very different scores. At least for now, the difference was huge.
As for Ling Xian, the difference was even bigger.
He was ranked last, firmly occupying the top spot with a score of 1000 points. No one could shake his position.
Of course, nobody wanted to move him either.
Remember that the lowest leveled cultivator in this year's trial was only of the fourth level. To be last under these circumstances was, without a doubt, an embarrassing thing.
Therefore, Ling Xian had become the joke of this year's trial.
"I am dying of laughter. If I remember correctly, this person was complimented by an elder and said he has the ability to win."
"Could it be that I remembered wrong? If he has the ability to win, how can he be last? "
"That's why I said this is a joke. Since the beginning of the trial, seven days have passed. This person hasn't even killed a beast of the fourth level. What a joke. "
"That's right. This person is far too weak. Compared to the seventh demon, he is weak."
Everyone who saw that Ling Xian only had 1,000 points found it funny. Especially those who knew that he was complimented by the elder, they found it hard to hide their sarcasm.
This is what it means to be the winner?
This is what it means to be the winner?
What a joke!
Without a doubt, Ling Xian had become the biggest joke of this year's trial. Even the elder became a laughing stock and was laughed at by everyone on the Holy Island.
"Last place. Interesting."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He wasn't surprised.
It took him around seven days to go back and forth. During this time, he gained many points. He was also busy with the Beautiful Silk and didn't kill a single beast. These 1,000 points were given to him by the first group.
"It seems like I have become a joke."
Ling Xian chuckled. He didn't think it was embarrassing. It wasn't like he was incapable, he was simply busy with other things.
"The goal of this trip has been accomplished. Next, it's time to participate in the trial."
Ling Xian grinned. Thinking about the prize for winning and all the treasures, anticipation filled his eyes.
Ignoring the prize, the Fountain of Cleansing Swords and other treasures were enough to tempt him.
Before, because of the Beautiful Silk, he wasn't in the mood to participate. Now that he had it, he wasn't going to miss out on this rare opportunity.
"Last place …"
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He put the jade token into his pouch and in a flash, disappeared from where he stood.
Only a confident sentence was left, slowly echoing in the air.
"Only temporarily."
