Over the past few days, most of the miscellaneous chores disciples in Mt. Fengling were still the same. After all, they could apply for such an assessment once a year. Although it was a chance, it was not too rare.
As for Yi Yun, he was even calmer. Every morning, he would meditate in the valley and have a good meal in the afternoon. In the afternoon, he would lead a leisurely life, flipping through books and occasionally giving pointers to Tao'er.
"Brother Yi, the Earth Fire Hall's assessment is coming up soon. The few cultivation grounds in Mt. Fengling have been occupied by the newcomers, Dong Hu and Bai Wei. Aren't you going to cultivate?"
Tao'er could not help but ask. Mt. Fengling's cultivation grounds were located near the spirit vein, so it was naturally used by Luo Fengling. There were not many cultivation grounds left, so they had all been snatched up by the other miscellaneous chores disciples.
In the Luo clan, the competition between disciples was extremely intense. Basically, whoever had the ability would be able to snatch resources. As for Yi Yun, he did not even take a look at the cultivation grounds over the past few days, much less compete for them.
Yi Yun smiled and said, "My meridians have just been joined back together, so there's no rush."
The path of martial arts was arduous and long. Many geniuses worked extremely hard. Although Yi Yun was not as crazy as Luo Fengling, he had never slacked off in his cultivation.
He had only recuperated for a few days due to his meridians being injured, allowing him to enjoy a comfortable life.
Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Tao'er stuck out her tongue. "Then, did I apply too quickly?"
"There's no rush. The time is just right."
Yi Yun's meridians, which had just healed, were flowing with Yuan Qi. The feeling of having energy fill his body once again was extremely good.
To warriors, they were used to having great strength, so they would not be used to suddenly feeling weak.
Three days later, above the Fire Cloud State's mountain peaks, there was a sudden loud cry of a crane. A red beam of light traversed the mountain peaks.
The people of Mt. Fengling looked up and saw a red dot the size of a pigeon's egg in the sky. But in a blink of an eye, the red dot rapidly enlarged. When it landed on Mt. Fengling, the red dot had turned into a twenty-foot tall flaming crane. Its claws were like the sharpest blades. When it landed, it sliced through Mt. Fengling's mountain rocks like tofu.
When this crane spread its wings, it could completely cover an elephant. Its feathers looked like they were on fire, and it was quite beautiful.
Yi Yun knew that the ancestors of the Luo clan were divine beasts related to fire. They had inherited this bloodline, and in the Luo clan, there were many fire-elemental Fey beasts.
Just the fire crane in front of him was definitely a top desolate beast that dominated the Divine Wilderness, even if it was inferior to the Desolate race's Sacred Spirit in the Tian Yuan world.
The Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven's mountain rocks beneath its claws were much sturdier than those of the lower realms. Although it was not difficult to tear through them, just the force of the descent was enough to slice through them. This was enough to prove the sharpness of the fire crane's claws.
On top of the fire crane stood a woman with an enchanting figure. She wore a black dress and had a black veil covering her face. She looked cold and incongruous with her alluring figure.
There was a black flame symbol on her right chest. This meant that she was one of the people in charge of the Luo clan's Earth Fire Hall.
This woman looked young, but she was already thousands of years old.
Even without using his energy vision to probe the black-dressed woman's Yuan Qi fluctuations, Yi Yun could sense that her strength was as deep as a black pool.
"Thank you for your trouble, Fairy." Tao'er was in a daze. She did not know what level the woman was at, but bowing was always the right thing to do.
The black-dressed woman floated down from the fire crane. Her phoenix-like eyes scanned the people present coldly. Her voice was also cold as she said, "Are all the people from Mt. Fengling participating in this year's assessment here?"
"Yes, they are all here." Tao'er answered respectfully.
And behind Tao'er, there were miscellaneous chores disciples that had been in Mt. Fengling for more than a decade. They recognized the black-dressed woman.
Although Tao'er was in charge of Mt. Fengling on behalf of Luo Fengling, in terms of knowledge, she was definitely inferior to these experienced people.
"It's Fairy Black Chrysanthemum."
Someone transmitted his voice in private.
Fairy Black Chrysanthemum was a Black Chrysanthemum that attained the Dao. Her surname was not Luo, but she was famous in the Fire Cloud State. Fairy Black Chrysanthemum usually did not like to interact with others. For her to have such a famous reputation, other than being powerful, it was mainly because the assessments she presided over were all extremely harsh.
There were even many disciples that were severely injured in the assessments she presided over.
"Forget it. Since it's Fairy Black Chrysanthemum, let's not fool around..."
There were a few miscellaneous chores disciples that wanted to try their luck to enter the Earth Fire Hall at Mt. Fengling, but at this moment, they gave up.
Even if the Earth Fire Hall's person-in-charge, who was more lenient, came to take the assessment, the chances of them passing would be extremely slim. Furthermore, it was Fairy Black Chrysanthemum. Not only would she fail the assessment, she might even be seriously injured.
"Alright." The veiled woman lightly scanned everyone, including Yi Yun. However, at this moment, there were already people retreating in fear. As for Dong Hu, Bai Wei and company, they were desperately squeezing forward, pushing the other miscellaneous chores disciples to the back, in order to leave an impression on Fairy Black Chrysanthemum.
Seeing Dong Hu, Bai Wei and Sun Lie's excited and expectant looks, the other miscellaneous chores disciples had looks of pity on them. Having just arrived in the Fire Cloud State, everyone was feeling smug, believing that they were impressive. Soon, they would suffer a setback and learn how high the heavens were and how deep the earth was.
No one reminded Dong Hu and company. These miscellaneous chores disciples did not get along well with each other, so they were eager to see others suffer.
Yi Yun very casually stood behind Dong Hu and company. The others had chosen to collectively withdraw, so there were only the four of them left participating in the assessment.
The four of them were rookies, so the scene looked a little strange.
There were only the four of them left?
Dong Hu was stunned for a moment. He found it a little odd, but before he could ponder over it, Fairy Black Chrysanthemum asked, "Do you have any questions about the assessment's rules?"
Dong Hu and company obviously did not know the rules. They did not know where to begin when Fairy Black Chrysanthemum asked them if they had any questions.
Instead, Bai Wei's eyes darted around and she asked a question, "Fairy, I would like to ask if puppets can be used during the assessment?"
When she asked this question, Bai Wei even glanced at Yi Yun with a hint of mockery in the corner of her eyes.
"Puppets are external objects. If one is proficient in the Dao of puppets, the puppets refined by oneself can be used. Otherwise, it is not allowed!"
Fairy Black Chrysanthemum's words were within Bai Wei's expectations. How could the assessment use external forces? Yi Yun's puppets were obviously not refined by himself.
Of course, that was indeed the case. The Fire Cloud State naturally had a method to determine if a puppet was refined by oneself. As for Yi Yun's Draco First True Gold avatar, it was actually refined by the Azure Yang Lord.
"Then there's no problem!"
