Spirit Forging Village was bustling with noise and excitement. Although it was called a village, it was no less bustling than a town.
Both sides of the street were filled with people, but there wasn't the slightest bit of chaos. Presumably, these people were elites from the Alliance and the various large families.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on a huge palace as they anxiously waited for the results.
Boom!
A thunderous boom rang out from the palace. The moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He didn't know if the final Spirit Forging would give him another surprise.
"Wan Family disciple, Wan Tian Spirit Forging failed."
"Liu Family disciple, Liu Long, Spirit Forging succeeded. Spirit Vein activated to 40%."
"Jeju Union disciple, Ding Yitian, Spirit Forging succeeded. Spirit Vein activated to 50%."
"Jeju Union disciple, Sun Shaohu, Spirit Forging failed."
A dignified voice rang out from the top of the palace, clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the plaza. Everyone listened attentively, not daring to make the slightest sound as they silently memorized the results of each Spirit Forging disciple. But as the results were announced, sighs could be heard from the crowd.
Spirit Forging failed!
This was the most depressing thing, and it was also the words that no one wanted to hear. Although it was possible to enter the Earth God Stage through hard work, no one knew how long it would take. Moreover, even if one entered the Earth God Stage, without activating their spiritual veins, they would not obtain any special attributes.
Spirit Forging failed! This phrase was equivalent to announcing the future fate of a genius in the family. In this world of God Cultivators, God Cultivators who were unable to activate their spirit veins were destined to not be able to go far on the path of God Cultivators. Even if some people had some coincidental encounters, the number of people who could enter the ranks of Gold Gods and True Gods were few and far between. Most people would forever be stuck in the realm of Earth God or Sky God.
Spirit Forging failed!
For the young masters and young ladies of the various clans, failure meant that they would be abandoned by their clans. In the future, their status and treatment would naturally plummet. Even if they succeeded in Spirit Forging, if their spirit meridians didn't reach sixty percent, their status would plummet.
But in the results announced just now, not a single person had reached 60%.
"Impossible, impossible, is there a problem with the Spirit Forging Pool?"
"That's right. I also feel like there's a problem with the Spirit Forging Pool. Yesterday, there were several Spirit Forges in the seventies. Why isn't there a single Spirit Forges in the sixties today?"
"Could it be that the Spirit Tempering Pool consumed too much Spirit Energy these past two days, causing damage to the Spirit Vein?"
"I think that's mostly the case!"
"Maybe. Fortunately, the disciples of the Jiang family finished yesterday. It seems that the disciples today didn't have good luck. But don't be sad. That's how the path of cultivation works."
"Something's wrong here. Hurry up and tell the Patriarch."
"Looks like our Wang Clan's chance has come!"
An old man sized up a middle-aged man in a green brocade robe with a gloating expression on his face.
"How many of our disciples haven't entered the Spirit Tempering Pool?" The azure-robed man looked at the azure-robed woman beside him and asked.
"Six people!"
The burly man was silent for a long time before coldly looking at the old man staring at him. Then, he turned to the palace and loudly said, "The Xu Clan withdraws from this spirit forging competition!"
"Haha, the Xu family has given up! Looks like someone won't be able to sleep tonight! "The old man's expression became even more smug.
"Are you sure the Xu Clan has given up on this spirit forging opportunity?" A dignified voice came from the palace.
"Yes, we've given up," the middle-aged man replied with an awkward expression.
The emotionless voice came from the palace again. "The Xu Clan is the last one. Now that they've given up, this elder announces that the spirit forging ceremony will end early. Tonight, the spirit forging village will …"
"Hold on, the Jeju Union's Yu Clan's disciple, Yu Xue, is undergoing spirit forging!" An anxious female voice came from the end of the street. Everyone turned around to see three white horses galloping over.
"Yu Xue? Is that the eldest daughter of the Yu Clan, Yu Xue? Enforcer Wang and the others have found Yu Xue? " The Jeju Union enforcers' expressions brightened. Some of them quickly opened up a path, while others quickly went to meet the white horses.
"We're not late, are we?" Wang Ding jumped off his horse and rushed over.
Enforcer Xiao Wanshan said, "No, we're not late. We were so close."
"That's good!"
"What took you so long?"
"We'll talk about it later. Xue 'er, hurry up and prepare for spirit forging! The spirit forging pool is inside … "Wang Ding led Yu Xue inside.
"Don't be in such a hurry …" Xiao Wanshan hurriedly pulled Wang Ding back and said in a low voice, "Today's event is a bit special. Less than sixty percent of the seven spirit forging disciples have successfully opened their spirit veins. Xue 'er is the hope of the Yu Clan. If she hastily participates in spirit forging and something happens, we … won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Less than sixty percent? What happened? "Wang Ding's expression changed again.
Hua Fuhai shook his head and whispered, "We can't say for sure. Let's discuss this with Yu Xue and have her wait another five years."
"No, I must undergo spirit forging this year." Yu Xue walked over with a resolute expression.
"Xue 'er …"
"If they don't succeed, that's because their talent isn't enough!"
"This girl really doesn't know how to talk. How annoying!" The middle-aged woman from the Xu Clan frowned with dissatisfaction.
The middle-aged man from the Xu Clan was already fuming, so when he heard Yu Xue's words, he glared at her coldly and said, "Miss Yu, can you tell me what it means to have no talent?!"
"Sorry, don't lower yourself to the level of a child." The Jeju Union enforcers hurriedly apologized.
"I must enter the spirit forging pool. I can't stay in the Mortal Celestial Stage for another five years! Enforcers, you know how important five years is to a divine cultivator. "Yu Xue didn't accept any of the enforcers' persuasion. Instead, she parted the crowd and walked toward the entrance.
"Ai! Yu Family's Eldest Miss, don't forget, there's still me! "Just when everyone's eyes were on Yu Xue, Li Gan took the lead and walked out.
"This is …" Everyone frowned and looked at Li Gan strangely. Only then did they notice this little beggar.
"Li Gan?" The Rainbow Fairies were the first to recognize Li Gan.
"It's really Li Gan?!" Everyone's expression changed at the same time.
"Enforcer Wang, where did you find Li Gan? My little ancestor, you're finally back! Someone come quickly, inform Li Zhenbei that the little ancestor is back. These days, Li Zhenbei, that old man, has been looking for you like crazy. "Xiao Wanshan was a little surprised, but more importantly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If Li Gan really died in Feng Ling, the Li family would definitely cause a ruckus with the Jeju Union.
Wang Ding's expression became strange. He looked at Li Gan again and said, "I don't have that ability. He found the spirit forging village himself. Enforcer Tie and I met him at the city gates."
"What? Enforcer Wang, what are you saying? "
Xiao Wanshan didn't seem to believe his ears. After all, Li Gan was only a spoiled brat, a notorious hooligan in Ji Zhou. He wasn't cut out for cultivation. How could someone like him pass through Feng Ling alone?
This couldn't be true.
"Elder Xiao, if there's nothing else, I'm going to enter the spirit forging pool." Li Gan didn't have the time to pay attention to them. He pushed away the two enforcers with strange expressions and quickly walked towards the palace.
"Li Gan, where are you going? Those who enter the spirit forging pool must reach … "
Whoosh!
Before Xiao Wanshan could finish, a colorless flame flew out of Li Gan's hand and rose into the air. Xiao Wanshan was stunned and the rest of his sentence was stuck in his throat.
"S- Soul Condensation. He's a late Deity …" All the people from the Jeju Union gasped. Even the Rainbow Fairies widened their mouths in shock from the gust of wind in Li Gan's hand.
She had personally witnessed the sharpness of the colorless flame in Li Gan's hand. However, Li Gan was only a mid Deity back then. She never thought that in just a few months, this spoiled brat from the Ji Zhou that everyone knew had actually reached late Deity. If news of this spread, no one would believe it.
"L- Li Gan … You're … Wait … Is Li Gan … really a late Deity?" Xiao Wanshan rubbed his eyes as he stared at the colorless flame in Li Gan's hand in shock.
Others might not know Li Gan, but he knew Li Gan very well. Li Gan was just a piece of trash from the Li family in the Ji Zhou. Before he left, he was just an ordinary brat who had just become a Deity. He never thought that in just a few months, he would become a late Deity!
"Indeed, I saw it clearly!" Another protector on the side confirmed.
"Looks like this is fate. I'm afraid that the women of the Ji Zhou will really suffer in the future!" Xiao Wanshan finally muttered after a while.
Everyone was stunned as they watched Li Gan walk towards the spirit forging palace.
"Li Gan … Li Gan! This … What happened just now? "It was only when Li Gan walked into the palace that Xiao Wanshan seemed to wake up from his astonishment.
The members of the Jeju Union looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, a protector finally broke the silence and whispered into Xiao Wanshan's ear, "Elder Xiao, it looks like there's something fishy about this matter. No wonder the Li family insisted on having Li Gan participate in the spirit forging ceremony. It looks like the Li family has hidden things quite well. Otherwise, why would the Li family know about Li Gan's disappearance and alert the fiend Li Zhenbei to personally search for him? Do you think … there's something inside … "
"Hmm?!" Xiao Wanshan seemed to have suddenly awakened as he coldly looked at the Jeju Union protectors present. His expression changed slightly as he whispered to each other, "Hurry up and inform Li Zhenbei and Elder Wei that Li Gan has entered the spirit forging pool."
Li Gan walked straight into the palace and found a secluded corner. He fiercely scrubbed the dirt off his body, cleaned his face, and put on a clean set of clothes. Once everything was in order, he walked towards the spirit forging pool.
He naturally did this to increase his chances of success. After all, taking a bath and changing clothes would prevent the dirt from contaminating the holy water of the spirit forging pool, which would lower his chances of success.
A pretty maid led Li Gan through a narrow passageway until they arrived at a room shrouded in mist. The walls of the room were carved with jade, and a clear stream flowed from the mouth of a dragon.
"Awesome!" Li Gan suddenly shouted.
"Young Master of the Li family, before entering the spirit forging pool, you must first wash your body at the Clear Dragon Stream." The maid led Li Gan to the mouth of the dragon.
"Wash my body? I just changed my clothes! Besides, Big Sister is watching me. How could I possibly wash my body? "Li Gan was a bit surprised, but even more so, he was teasing her.
The maid smiled in response. "Although the water of the Clear Dragon Stream isn't as rich as the spirit forging pool, it will definitely give Young Master unexpected results."
"Since there are so many benefits, why don't we share the pleasure of bathing in the Clear Dragon Stream?"
"How could this servant be so lucky!"
Li Gan nodded and did not avoid taking off his clothes. He walked into the stream and felt the warmth of the Clear Dragon Stream. He felt a spiritual power, suddenly spreading rapidly in all parts of his body. His pores seemed to have begun to open, and every inch of his skin began to become active.
"Awesome! Awesome!" Li Gan couldn't help but cry out again.
