[Items: Dagger.

Grade: Low-grade.]

Ye Xiyun looked at the courtyard full of low-grade equipment in confusion. "Sister, can't you take a closer look? Aren't there any awesome weapons here?"

"I have already shared my ability to identify all things with you. Even if I were to look myself, it would be the same," Hua Zhongxian said. "What daydreams are you having? This is a ninth Tier sect, you know?"

"Oh... right," Ye Xiyun scratched his head. He suddenly forgot that the protagonists in novels could find magical techniques, special weapons, and powerful elixirs in beginner areas because their sects were extraordinary or ancient sects on the decline or the eight major families.

However, Tianxuan Sect was just a solid ninth Tier sect. He shouldn't have high expectations.

Ye Xiyun shook his head and randomly picked up a long spear from a table.

As they walked out of the courtyard with the spear, Bing Li looked at Ye Xiyun with some surprise. "Why did you choose this weapon?" she asked.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiyun asked.

"Noting much, cultivators usually prefer swords over spears because controlling a sword is easier than a spear," Bing Li said. "Let's go, I'll take you to the final trial."

"Thank you, Senior Sister," Ye Xiyun said.

Soon, Bing Li brought Ye Xiyun to the location of the final trial.

At that place, the other newly recruited disciples who joined Tianxuan Sect earlier had already arrived.

When Bing Li and Ye Xiyun descended from the sky, the inner disciples who accompanied the new disciples immediately saluted Bing Li. "Greetings, Senior Sister Bing Li!"

"Mm," Bing Li nodded coolly and said, "Hello, junior brothers and junior sisters. Is everyone here?"

"Yes, Senior Sister Bing Li," Xuan Yi said, "All twenty new disciples of this year have arrived."

Xuan Yi then looked at Ye Xiyun with surprise. Ye Xiyun grinned playfully at Xuan Yi, and the latter's eyes showed a trace of shock. He didn't expect this guy with a Low Grade Five Elements Spiritual Roots to succeed in joining.

"First of all, congratulations on passing the first two stages," Xuan Yi addressed the new disciples. "However, this doesn't mean that you have officially joined Tianxuan Sect. In the third stage, some of you might be eliminated."

"Eliminated?" Ye Xiyun furrowed his brows.

According to their previous explanation, the third stage only required them to kill a demonic beast to pass. Could it be that the strength of these beasts far exceeded that of the new disciples?

"As you may have heard, in the third stage, you only need to kill a demonic beast on the desolate mountain and obtain the beast's core to pass," Xuan Yi explained. "Only Middle-Grade or higher demonic beasts have cores, and even some low-grade demonic beasts can pose a considerable threat to cultivators at the Third Meridian of the Meridian Opening Realm. Therefore, there is a risk of death when killing demonic beasts."

Hearing this, the expressions of the disciples present changed.

"Of course, as cultivators, we will encounter enemies stronger than us when we fight against demons and defend the way. Therefore, you are allowed to form teams to kill demonic beasts," Xuan Yi said.

"No matter what happens, seven days from now, when you come down from the desolate mountain with at least one core of a low-grade demonic beast, you will become disciples of Tianxuan Sect," Xuan Yi continued. "Do you understand?"

As he heard the responses from the disciples around him, Ye Xiyun noticed one particularly heavy sentence in Xuan Yi's speech - "No matter what happens!"

What does that mean?

Ye Xiyun stroked his chin.

In other words, besides forming teams... they could also rob each other?

Or even more seriously, could it mean killing and looting?

Wow, this is full of traps!

Ye Xiyun looked around at the people. Some disciples were excited, some were eager to try, and some had a gleam in their eyes.

It seems that he wasn't the only one who understood the hidden meaning in Xuan Yi's words.

"Alright, all the uninitiated disciples get ready and enter the teleportation array!" Xuan Yi said, and several inner disciples took out a formation.

The formation glowed, like a sparkling blue light rising from the ground.

"A ninth Tier sect actually has a teleportation array?" Ye Xiyun was surprised. After all, as someone who hadn't truly entered the world of cultivation yet, his understanding of the cultivation world came from the novels he read before transmigration.

"It's just a Low-Grade short-distance random teleportation array," the voice of Hua Zhongxian sounded in Ye Xiyun's mind. "This type of formation is a basic teleportation array with a simple structure and not much practical use."

"I see," Ye Xiyun said, curiously queuing up and stepping into the formation.

"Good luck!" Xuan Yi said to Ye Xiyun outside the formation.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Ye Xiyun smiled at Xuan Yi and then suddenly disappeared into the formation.

The person who disappeared would be teleported several miles away to the desolate mountain.

Soon, all twenty uninitiated disciples were teleported out.

"Now we just need to wait for those who obtain the demonic beast cores to come out," Xuan Yi sighed with relief.

Bing Li nodded beside him and said, "You all wait here; I'll go back and inform the Sect Master and the elders."

"Farewell, Senior Sister Bing Li!" the inner disciples saluted again and watched as Bing Li flew into the distance on her sword.

Meanwhile, in the Elder Hall, the Sect Master and the elders of Tianxuan Sect were gathered around.

A bronze mirror with an ancient appearance was taken out by the Sect Master, Yunxiao Zhenren.

Qingyun Ancient Mirror! A rare spiritual artifact in Tianxuan Sect that could survey specific places within its sphere of influence.

Now, under the control of Yunxiao Zhenren, the Qingyun Ancient Mirror slowly flew into the air, growing larger in front of everyone's eyes. Then, within the ancient mirror, figures began to slowly appear.

"The Qingyun Ancient Mirror can observe four different places at the same time. Elders, which four disciples do you want to see first?" Yunxiao Zhenren stabilized the Qingyun Ancient Mirror and smiled at the other elders. However, before he finished speaking, he seemed helpless and said, "Yao, get out here!"

As he spoke, a little girl in a pink dress with a sweet smile emerged from behind a nearby door. She looked at Yunxiao Zhenren and the elders and said, "Dad, Senior Uncles, I'm just here to watch, I won't say anything."
