Chapter 38: Senior Sister Bing Li Comes to Pick Me Up

Ye Xiyun lay sprawled on the ground, calmly accepting the pouring rain.

Alright, I give up. You want to play with me, right?

You think you're big and tough with your fists, huh?

I'll just play along, not letting you see me frustrated. Eh? I've guessed your thoughts, and I won't do as you expect. This is my game!!

Lying there, Ye Xiyun actually... fell asleep?

"Is this kid's heart really that big?" The sect master and the elders, gathered around the Qingyun Ancient Mirror, twitched their mouths in disbelief.

"Sect Master, shall I strike another lightning bolt?" The Seventh Elder, Liu Muyun, asked eagerly.

"Enough!" the Fourth Elder, Song Zhiming, interjected: "We've already gone too far today. This kid remains calm and indifferent, showing a pure heart. He meets our assessment criteria. Do we really need to continue?"

"Fourth Elder, I know you want to take a disciple, but you can't be this lenient," the Third Elder said to Song Zhiming. "How about two more lightning bolts? The kid hasn't shown any anger; it feels like something's missing."

"He can sleep under the rain, and you expect him to rage?" The Fifth Elder looked at the Third Elder and said speechlessly.

"Can I strike another lightning bolt then?" The Seventh Elder raised her hand to speak again.

"Enough!" Yun Xiao shook his head at his quarreling junior brothers and sisters. "Let's leave it at that. Fifth Elder, have your disciple bring Ye Xiyun over without alerting others."

"Yes!" The Fifth Elder nodded and immediately messaged Bing Li to fetch Ye Xiyun.

Lying in the rain and sound asleep, Ye Xiyun suddenly felt the rain stop falling on his head. He opened his eyes and saw a blue-robed woman holding an umbrella next to him.

"Senior Sister Bing Li?" Ye Xiyun quickly sat up, surprised to see Bing Li.

"Awake? Come with me; the Sect Master and Elders want to see you," Bing Li said to Ye Xiyun.

As the clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, Bing Li put away her umbrella, patted Ye Xiyun, and he immediately felt a wave of cold air. The rain on his clothes turned into ice crystals. Before he could feel the cold, Bing Li patted his shoulder again. The ice crystals fell off, drying his body instantly. Only then did he feel the chill and shivered.

"Run your spiritual energy through two cycles; you should warm up," Bing Li instructed.

Ye Xiyun hurriedly did as told.

Meanwhile, Bing Li had already summoned her flying sword.

"Let's go!" Stepping on the flying sword, Bing Li told Ye Xiyun, who nodded and expertly stood beside her, holding onto her slender waist.

Bing Li glanced down at Ye Xiyun's honestly placed hands but didn't say anything, directly controlling the sword to fly with Ye Xiyun towards Tianxuan Sect's mountain.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a grand hall. Bing Li put away her flying sword and said to Ye Xiyun, "The Sect Master and the Elders are waiting for you inside. Go in by yourself!"

"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Ye Xiyun thanked Bing Li, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door to enter the grand hall.

Inside, Ye Xiyun saw the Sect Master and Six Elders standing in the spacious hall. The floor was etched with mysterious patterns, with spiritual energy and light flowing through them. In the center of the hall was a circular pond filled with lotus leaves, upon which bloomed nine golden lotuses.

Though unsure of what these golden lotuses were, their golden appearance and the surrounding dense spiritual energy clearly indicated their extraordinary nature.

"Disciple Ye Xiyun greets the Sect Master and the Elders!" Ye Xiyun walked to the center of the hall and greeted them.

"Good," Yun Xiao nodded and said to Ye Xiyun, "Ye Xiyun, from Lingxi Town of Lingxi Province , with a Low Grade Five Elements Spiritual Roots. During the trial, you subdued a level-one wild boar and a silver-armed demon ape, and even killed a peak level-one tiger demon on your own. Am I correct?"

"Yes, you are," Ye Xiyun nodded.

"Based on the trial, you are qualified and fully deserve to be part of our Tianxuan Sect," Yun Xiao said. "However, we have a few questions to confirm with you... Have you reached the third meridian of the Meridian Opening Stage?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master, I have indeed reached the Third Meridian of the Meridian Opening Stage," Ye Xiyun replied.

"Good!" Yun Xiao nodded and said, "Normally, someone with a Low Grade Five Elements Spiritual Roots couldn't cultivate so quickly. Even those with High Grade spiritual roots would need specific techniques to single-handedly kill a level-one demon beast. You've achieved all this, which is outstanding for someone with a Low Grade Five Elements Spiritual Roots. We would have accepted you into Tianxuan Sect, but... your performance is too exceptional, somewhat illogical. In the cultivation world, some special physiques greatly enhance cultivation. Some physiques are evident from birth, while others only manifest after reaching the Third Meridian of the Meridian Opening Stage with sufficient spiritual power. Therefore, we need to conduct a special test on you. Are you willing to cooperate?"

"A test for my physique?" Ye Xiyun asked, internally calling out desperately to Hua Zhongxian, his sisterly figure, for guidance on how to handle this critical situation.

Inside Ye Xiyun, Hua Zhongxian seemed to be disconnected, offering no response.

"Alright," Ye Xiyun decided and agreed.

"Great. Then, Seventh Elder!" Yun Xiao turned to Seventh Elder.

"Understood, Sect Master!" Seventh Elder nodded, took out a palm-sized octagonal turtle shell array, and enlarged it two to three times its size. She then brought it to Ye Xiyun and instructed, "Place your right hand on this array."

Ye Xiyun followed her direction and placed his hand on the center of the array. Intricate patterns on the array shone brightly, and two light pillars shot out, hovering three feet above the array, flickering on and off.

Seeing this, the Sect Master and Elders of Tianxuan Sect showed expressions of 'as expected'.

However, Seventh Elder's face turned slightly odd as she looked at the light pillars. After taking back the array, she said to Ye Xiyun, "You may step outside and wait for news. I have something to discuss with the Sect Master."
