After returning to his cave abode, Han Yan began to inherit the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.
This was his third Dharma spell. Previously, it was all sword techniques, but this time was different.
As the inheritance memories surged into his mind, Han Yan entered a state of enlightenment.
The Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal was similar to a palm technique, but it was different from a fierce palm technique. It was a seal that could suppress and expel evil.
Using different attributes of spirit energy to form the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal would have different effects.
Although Han Yan did not have top-notch seal technique aptitude, his spirit root aptitude was top-notch, so he did not encounter any difficulties in learning the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.
Seven days later.
Han Yan finally grasped the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.
It was almost time for the inner sect assessment. The teaching elders of the eighteen peaks had already submitted the participant list.
Chang Yue 'er came to visit and told him the rules of the inner sect assessment.
The eighteen peaks would build a battle arena, and the disciples would be arranged to fight one-on-one in each peak until the top ten were decided. Then, they would fight in the inner sect city for the entire sect to watch.
Han Yan liked this very much.
In this case, he only needed to make three or four moves in public, and his exposure would not be that high. Even if he gained the limelight this time, as long as he kept a low profile, no one would remember him.
"Junior Brother, the personal disciples of the various peaks are holding a banquet. Are you going to participate?" Chang Yue 'er asked.
It was worth mentioning that Chang Yue 'er was also Fairy Xi Xuan's personal disciple.
Han Yan suspected that they were related.
In his opinion, Chang Yue 'er's aptitude was average.
"No, you can go."
Han Yan shook his head and refused. Generally speaking, such banquets were very easy to have conflicts. They were all personal disciples of the various peaks, so they would definitely fight for the limelight, especially on the eve of the inner sect assessment.
"Alright."
Chang Yue 'er shook her head and left.
Han Yan continued to cultivate the Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.
Although he had already learned it, he wanted to completely master it. It was as easy as using a sword technique.
In any case, the remaining time was not enough to increase his cultivation realm.
Just like that, the days passed.
The inner sect assessment finally began.
The thirteen disciples participating in the assessment gathered in front of the Jade Serene Hall. There was a large wooden sign hanging on the door, recording the location and time of the battle.
On the first day, everyone had to participate in the battle.
Han Yan's first battle was at Tian Zhu Peak.
Tian Zhu Peak was ranked third in the Jade Serene Peak.
The time was tomorrow noon.
After Han Yan noted it down, he quickly returned to his abode.
When he arrived in front of the cave, he suddenly saw a person.
Xing Hongxuan!
After not seeing her for decades, she looked even more elegant than before in the Jade Pure Sect's Daoist robe.
"Husband!"
Xing Hongxuan exclaimed in surprise and walked quickly to Han Yan.
Han Yan was speechless. He took a step back and said, "Miss, you can't just randomly address people!"
Xing Hongxuan covered her mouth and laughed. "Didn't we agree on this when we were in the outer sect?"
Han Yan was helpless and said honestly, "I was just acting. If I refused you, I was afraid that you would kill me."
"It's fine. I took it seriously. When I met the Sect Master, I was worried that you would betray me, but you didn't. You gave me a chance to confess. Only then did I have the chance to rejoin the Jade Pure Sect in exchange for my current status."
Xing Hongxuan smiled. She took out a jade bottle from her sleeve and said, "This is a Jade Pure Pill. It's suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to increase their cultivation. I haven't reached the Foundation Establishment realm yet, so I'll give it to you first. I'm cultivating with Daoist Jingxu now, so I'll obtain such pills regularly."
Han Yan was stunned.
Xing Hongxuan forcefully handed the pill bottle to Han Yan and said, "Work hard in the inner sect assessment. I didn't expect my husband to be a genius. My aptitude is average. I'll do my best to help you in the future. If my husband reaches the Nascent Soul realm, you won't treat me badly, right?"
Her smile was very sweet and pure. She didn't feel like a fiendish cultivator at all.
Han Yan didn't know if he should refuse.
Xing Hongxuan suddenly turned around and left. She used the Sword Kinesis Technique and quickly disappeared into the clouds.
She didn't give Han Yan any room to refuse!
Han Yan returned to his cave abode. He opened the pill bottle and found seven Jade Pure Pills inside.
He took one first.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that a Jade Pure Pill contained an extremely large amount of spirit qi. He hurriedly circulated his energy to refine it.
An hour later.
He completely refined the medicinal power and converted it into water spirit energy. It was better than at least half a month of cultivation.
With his aptitude, half a month of cultivation was equivalent to several years of cultivation for ordinary people.
"This pill is so powerful. Is this the treatment of a core disciple?"
Han Yan was secretly shocked.
He suddenly felt that Xing Hongxuan's feelings for him were a little too strong.
At the same time, he was puzzled. How could she receive such treatment just by providing the Viridescent Nether Cult's plan for the Ten Thousand Demon Realm?
Xing Hongxuan was only a Qi Refinement cultivator previously and was active in the outer sect of the Jade Pure Sect. How did she find out about the secrets of the Viridescent Nether Cult?
It seemed that her identity was far from as simple as Han Yan had imagined.
Han Yan didn't think too much and continued to take the Jade Pure Pill.
After three pills.
His water spirit root had successfully reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
He converted the remaining Jade Pure Pills into earth spirit energy and successfully reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
At this point, all six of his spirit roots had reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm!
He scanned outside with his divine sense. It was already late at night.
"What a domineering Jade Pure Pill. No wonder alchemists have such a high status."
Han Yan thought silently and suddenly had an idea about pills.
…
Main Peak.
In a gloomy hall.
Xing Hongxuan sat in front of an old Daoist nun.
This old Daoist nun was Daoist Jingxu.
"Don't you regret giving the Jade Pure Pill to that kid from Jade Serene Peak?" Daoist Jingxu asked.
Xing Hongxuan said softly, "I don't regret it. I'm already in love."
"Just because he has good looks?"
"Isn't that enough?"
"His looks are indeed outstanding. I've never seen a man better looking than him in my life. But I don't think it's worth it for you to help him just because of his looks."
"His aptitude is also very outstanding. When I saw him, he hadn't started cultivating yet. I heard from the Headmaster that he's already at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm."
Daoist Jingxu frowned and fell into deep thought.
Such talent is indeed …
She asked doubtfully, "Why haven't I heard of him after so many years?"
Xing Hongxuan replied, "The Headmaster said he's very low-key. Ever since he entered the inner sect, he's been busy cultivating in seclusion. Previously, the Headmaster wanted to give him an opportunity, but he refused because he's afraid of death."
Daoist Jingxu joked, "If he's afraid of death, how could he have such an experience? It seems that he's very determined and confident in himself."
Xing Hongxuan nodded.
Thinking of Han Yan's extremely handsome face, her face blushed.
"It seems that I have to pay more attention to him." Daoist Jingxu said with a faint smile.
…
Noon.
Han Yan set off for Tian Zhu Peak.
He stood on his flying sword with a conflicted expression.
How should he act today?
He couldn't appear too domineering.
With a cultivation base at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm and a peerless sword technique, Han Yan really didn't take the inner sect disciples seriously.
He had asked around and found out that the highest cultivation level among the disciples participating in the inner sect assessment was only at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
The disciples with higher cultivation levels had long finished their apprenticeship or become personal disciples, elite disciples, or core disciples. They didn't need the rewards of the inner sect assessment.
With the same cultivation level, Han Yan felt that it was impossible for him to lose.
