Chapter 24: She Is Too Steady!
After receiving the news from He Yurou, Elder Gaoyi couldn't wait to keep watch near the woods for fear that someone would interrupt Bai Lian.
It was an old deacon who stopped him in time.
"No, no!"
That's right.
Elder Gaoyi figured it out at once.
As the Elder of the Duxian sect, countless people stare at him. If he ran out rashly, many people would secretly follow him.
Bai Lian's situation would become more dangerous if he left.
The Ten Thousand Immortals League is a quite loose cultivation sect alliance, and the relationship between members is not trustworthy.
Elder Gaoyi immediately blocked the news.
So now only a dozen people know that Bai Lian has broken through to the Soul Changing Stage.
Elder Gaoyi calmed his excited heart with a slight cough.
He looked carefully at Bai Lian in front of him. Sure enough, she had broken through to the Soul Changing Stage.
What a good child!
Elder Gaoyi sighed.
He was going to teach Bai Lian to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, but now it seems that there is no need at all.
Look at this expression, as if nothing had happened.
Who could have thought that this was a favorite of heaven who reached the Soul Changing Stage after cultivating for only three and a half years?
"She's too steady!"
Elder Gaoyi tried to imagine.
If the roles were changed, he would never be as calm as Bai Lian.
Maybe this is the Natural Saint!
Elder Gaoyi said, "Consolidate your cultivation base, and you don't have to do anything in the next few days."
Bai Lian nodded with difficulty.
Her cultivation base really needs to be consolidated, but it is more important to figure out what happened.
"Elder Gaoyi…"
As soon as she asked, Elder Gaoyi interrupted her, "Don't worry, we have enough people. Even if you rest, it won't affect the next trial. And everyone is taking the initiative to help you share the task, so you don't have to feel sorry."
"Elder Gaoyi…"
"Don't worry, I've already arranged to block the news. Even your Martial Sisters don't know your real cultivation base. Even if others have guessed, as long as you continue to hide your cultivation base, nothing will happen."
"Elder Gaoyi…"
"Don't worry, He Yurou is a good girl. After she felt the pressure of the Soul Changing Stage, she immediately came back and informed me. She said she would never divulge information, and even made a Tao heart oath, which Qing Luan and others followed." Elder Gaoyi said with a long sigh, "I'm really happy. The Duxian sect is so united, we will certainly become prosperous in the future!"
Facing the porthole full of golden sunlight, he unconsciously wiped his eyes with his hand.
It's actually a little wet.
A thousand years ago.
Many of the disciples of the Duxian sect died, and the whole sect was once reduced to a small sect. It was the late former sect leader who rushed around and worked hard to preserve the inheritance of the Duxian sect.
It took him another 300 years to bring the Duxian sect to today's height.
On the day An Lan was picked up, everyone thought that she would carry the flag of the Duxian sect and make the Duxian sect great again.
But it's a pity that An Lan was too irresponsible.
She was not only too irresponsible, but affected Yan Yue, making her another irresponsible woman.
Maybe she felt guilty. After hundreds of years of laziness, she finally accepted a disciple.
At that time, no one thought that An Lan's disciple would become the hope of the Duxian sect today.
It's really fate.
The most gratifying thing is that this disciple is not like her master.
Great.
When we return to the Duxian sect, it's time to put some burden on Bai Lian!
Elder Gaoyi stroked his chin. Immersed in excitement, he was about to stop thinking.
Bai Lian, "…"
At first, she thought that the rumor was spread by Tong Yao again. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be He Yurou!
Damn it. Why!
Si Yunshang, why didn't you just leave? Couldn't you break through to the Soul Changing Stage after walking a little further away?
Bai Lian began to grow suspicious. Is this also within the calculations of that Demon Woman?
It's horrible.
This is not impossible. After all, the task of treating Si Yunshang is very risky, and this may be one of the dangers.
No way.
Bai Lian gritted her teeth. She had to explain quickly. She couldn't let the rumors continue to spread.
She was about to speak when a new task jumped out before her eyes.
[Task 1: Tell Elder Gaoyi that it was not you who broke through to the Soul Changing Stage, but someone else (Reward: an inferior spirit tool - Wind Flowing Cloud)]
[Task 2: Admit your true cultivation base in front of Elder Gaoyi (Reward: Sea Fire Seed)]
[Task 3: Don't say anything (Reward: a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills)]
"Ah?"
An inferior spirit tool?
If she chooses Task 1, she can't survive now.
Bai Lian was frightened.
She didn't speak, but Elder Gaoyi had taken action again.
He took out a circular jade pendant and said with a smile, "I almost forgot that your current state is not stable enough. People with a clear eye can see that you have had a Yuanshen at a glance. This jade pendant can help you hide your Yuanshen."
Bai Lian nodded.
She finally understood why Elder Gaoyi was so sure that she had reached the Soul Changing Stage.
It was the Supreme Real Elixir that caused the trouble.
Although her cultivation base is only at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, her soul has somewhat turned into the shape of Yuanshen under the Supreme Real Elixir's effect.
What a sin!
Now, even if she explained, Elder Gaoyi at this time would not believe it.
If she had known this, she would wait until she returned to the Duxian sect to eat the Supreme Real Elixir.
Bai Lian wanted to cry.
Elder Gaoyi added, "If the tree is tall in the forest, the wind will destroy it. You know this truth, I don't need to teach you again. OK, you go to your own business."
"Yes."
Bai Lian walked out of the room gloomily.
Tong Yao and others were still standing at the door. As soon as they saw Bai Lian, their breathing became urgent.
Qing Luan bowed slightly, "Martial Sister Bai Lian."
Chen Yizhi said nothing demurely.
Tong Yao said happily, "Martial Sister Bai Lian, don't worry, I'm tight-lipped!"
Well, should I thank you?
Hearing the word "Don't worry", Bai Lian felt that she was going to get sick.
If it weren't for Tong Yao's Tao heart oath, the rumors would have spread to other sects!
Bai Lian chatted with them for a while. The only thing that made her happy was that she earned several skill points during this time, which made her strength a little closer to the Soul Changing Stage.
When Bai Lian left, Qing Luan looked at her back.
Now she can't wait to have in-depth communication with Bai Lian.
She can't wait any longer. She is ready to let the sect leader be her lobbyist, so that she can follow Martial Sister Bai Lian and study from her.
Qing Luan immediately sent a message to her master.
Just as she was waiting for a reply, the second stage of the trial officially began.
But all this has nothing to do with Bai Lian. Anyway, she doesn't participate in the trial, and her work is assigned to others.
During the trial, the two Martial Sisters reaped quite a lot. Their ranking was not high, but their cultivation bases were actually promoted to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
On the 15th day after leaving the Duxian sect, the Aurora Boat took the disciples of the Duxian sect back home.
On the deck, looking at the floating clouds surging under her feet, Bai Lian let out a long sigh.
"Finally, I survived the trial safely."
In recent days, no one has bothered her because of the rumor that she broke through to the Soul Changing Stage. It seems that she worried too much.
