Gu Xuan's words were said in a firm tone.
The Heavenly Rat's reply was even faster, as if it was afraid that Gu Xuan would regret his decision if it was too slow.
As soon as Gu Xuan finished speaking, the Grade Two authority token on the ground disappeared without a trace with a wave of space-time ripples.
The speed surprised the one-horned fat bird for a moment.
But soon, it reacted and gave the heavenly rat a look of approval.
"Good brother, so you're on my side!
Knowing that I'm looking for trouble with Gu Xuan, you cut off his path of retreat so quickly. I'll be grateful for this!
I'll definitely repay you in the future! "
The one-horned fat bird's mind was filled with thoughts.
The Heavenly Rat forcefully suppressed its excitement and stared at Gu Xuan with a cold look.
"So, can you start the trial now?
I wonder, how do you plan to make me agree to let you pass this trial? "
Gu Xuan extended his right hand forward.
"Of course it's with the pills in my hand.
However, there seems to be a little too much. "
Gu Xuan initially wanted to give all the pills to the Heavenly Rat, but somehow, he felt that the secrets within the pills would be of great use to him. Therefore, he decided to keep some for himself.
He extended his left hand and took away two first-grade pills. However, after thinking for a moment, he extended his hand again and took away half of the second-grade pill, leaving only one first-grade pill.
The eyelids of the Heavenly Rat shuddered slightly and its heart skipped a beat after each pill was taken away. However, it remained calm on the surface.
The one-horned fat bird was dumbfounded.
Three first-grade pills and half of a second-grade pill were already embarrassing enough.
Now, Gu Xuan had taken away most of them, leaving only one first-grade pill.
This wasn't just shameful, this was simply humiliating!
It could be tolerated, but the rat could not!
Wasn't this just courting death?
Under normal circumstances, as the guardian, the Heavenly Rat could not attack Gu Xuan.
However, even it had a way to kill Gu Xuan. As the guardian of a higher trial, how could the Heavenly Rat not have one?
If the Heavenly Rat was extremely furious and wanted to kill Gu Xuan at all costs, Gu Xuan would be dead for sure.
Once he died, the Book of Life and Death and the Dragon Pearl of Thorny Peak would be exposed.
The one-horned fat bird had originally planned to ridicule Gu Xuan and laugh at him for overestimating himself. But now, it could only drop the matter.
Right now, he could not provoke the Heavenly Rat any further.
The fat one-horned bird couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Tong Tian Shu's angry face. It was too frightening.
"How about this? I'll use this pill to pass this stage with full marks. What do you think?"
Gu Xuan held a first-grade pill and waved it in front of the Heavenly Rat.
The moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived. Tong Tian Rat was so happy that he was about to cry.
However, when he remembered that Gu Xuan had taken back two grade-one pills and half a grade-two pill, his heart ached so much that he could not breathe.
Therefore, under the dual feelings of happiness and heartache, Heavenly Rat did not immediately express his stance, and he continued to look coldly at Gu Xuan.
"Are you sure you're only giving me one Grade-1 pill?"
Judging from his attitude, he seemed to be dissatisfied.
How shrewd was Gu Xuan? He had long guessed that there was another mystery within that medicinal pill.
If the Heavenly Rat was truly dissatisfied, it would have flown into a rage on the spot. Why would it have come to ask?
When it asked this question, Gu Xuan knew that he had made the right bet.
A single grade-one pill was enough to satisfy Heavenly Rat.
Gu Xuan nodded.
"There's only one pill. Either you give me full marks or you let me fail. Then, I'll turn around and use this pill to smash One-Horned Fat Bird to death."
His meaning was clear. If you don't give me full marks, I'll give the pill to the One-Horned Fat Bird.
The One-Horned Fat Bird did not sense the competition between Gu Xuan and Heavenly Rat at all.
It only sensed Heavenly Rat's displeasure. It could not wait to take out a few grade-nine pills and place them in Gu Xuan's hands, so that Gu Xuan could get a third-grade badge.
As long as the badge's grade was lower than its, it would be equivalent to Gu Xuan not having a badge.
Unfortunately, it would be too suspicious if it did that. It could only give up.
"Preposterous!"
Heavenly Rat roared, causing the entire forest to shake.
"It's over, it's over."
The One-Horned Fat Bird's heart skipped a beat. It almost thought that Heavenly Rat was going to attack Gu Xuan.
However, it was dumbfounded at the next moment.
Heavenly Rat waved its claws angrily and snatched the grade-one pill from Gu Xuan's hands. It did not care that there was still dust on it and put it into its mouth.
"Gu Xuan, you brat, you win!
Your observation skills are indeed exceptional. Your luck is also unparalleled in the world!
You must know that it's a great opportunity to see this pill.
To be able to sense its extraordinariness and pick it up for collection, that's even more extraordinary.
You can actually think of a way to pass the level with just a few hints from me. This means that your intelligence is already comparable to mine! "
Heavenly Rat tasted the dusty grade-one pill in its mouth with a blissful expression.
"Ah ah ah, I can finally say these words.
Due to the restrictions of the rules, even if I saw these pills in front of me, I couldn't say that I wanted them.
But now, I can. Hahaha.
Congratulations, Gu Xuan, you've passed the sixth level.
It's not as simple as a hundred marks. I'm going to give you 120 marks, more than a hundred marks! "
Heavenly Rat was in a great mood.
It was really surprised.
Originally, it didn't have any expectations for Gu Xuan.
After all, how could a high-level saint see through the profoundness of those low-grade elixirs and bring them out from the dilapidated immortal palace?
However, out of habit and also out of caution, it casually hinted.
It hinted like this to every challenger.
Unexpectedly, the clouds parted and the moon shone. This time, it finally succeeded in waiting for the pills.
Although it was only given one pill, in fact, one pill was already enough for it!
The single-horned fat bird was dumbfounded.
Just one grade-one pill and it was even stained with dust. It had not seen such a grade of pill for over a million years, alright?
This Heavenly Rat was actually so excited?
It even got more than a hundred marks?
Did it become stupid from knocking pills?
Gu Xuan also did not expect that a grade-one pill would make Heavenly Rat so excited.
He really wanted to ask, but it was a pity that he was afraid of some unforeseen event.
That was because back then, he had not picked up those medicinal pellets because he had seen through them and discovered that there was some sort of secret within them.
He only picked them up and kept them due to his self-cultivation as an Alchemy Emperor. After that, he threw them in a corner of his interspatial ring and didn't even bother to clean up the dust on them.
Until just now, under Heavenly Rat's hint, he suddenly realized that those pills were not ordinary. Therefore, he took them out and tried to use them to pass through the levels.
He didn't expect that not only did he succeed, but he also made Heavenly Rat so excited.
He just didn't know if the so-called more than a hundred marks would be useful.
Buzz Buzz Buzz.
The void started to ripple.
That icy cold female voice appeared again.
"Congratulations, Gu Xuan. You have passed the sixth level with more than a hundred marks.
The fact that you were able to discover the secret of a low-grade pill in the Palace of the Immortals and take it away, and then use it to pass the test, is enough to prove that your insight and wisdom meet the requirements to become the master of the Palace of the Immortals.
In fact, as long as you are able to obtain more than a hundred marks in the sixth level, the previous levels wouldn't be important and would be counted as a hundred marks.
You will be one of the candidates to become the Lord of the Immortal Palace! "
Gu Xuan was confused after hearing the voice.
He still couldn't tell what the word 'Immortal Palace' meant.
That ice-cold female voice had clearly said three words. However, the first word was blocked by an indescribable power.
When it reached his ears, it was "* Immortal Palace".
The cold female voice continued, "You're the one who made the decision.
"Gu Xuan, your assessment is superior!
You have acquired the Young Master Badge, which grants you the right to freely enter and exit the first six levels!
You are free to appoint the guardians of the first five levels!
You can choose to continue, or leave temporarily.
Besides, the Young Master Badge allows you to pass through the ninth level and proceed to the final level.
First, it's best to proceed according to the order in order to have a higher chance of success!
Second, there's more to the Young Master Badge. "
Following the woman's voice, a badge descended from the sky and floated in front of Gu Xuan.
It was a golden badge with mystical patterns on it.
On the front of the badge, the words' Young Master 'were written in a flamboyant style, with an indescribable charm.
Looking at these two words, Gu Xuan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He reached out his hand and grabbed the badge.
A warm current was emitted from the badge, which flowed through Gu Xuan's palm and flowed throughout his body.
Gu Xuan's body immediately felt warm.
It was also at this moment that Gu Xuan involuntarily recalled the icy cold woman's voice from earlier.
He was surprised to find that he could actually "hear" the word that had been blocked out from the cold woman's voice just now in his memory.
It was the word 'Burial'!
"Immortal Palace!" Gu Xuan's eyes widened!
