The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

"Root bone... third stage!"

"Talent: Ordinary Grade!"

The tester loudly announced, his voice carrying far among the crowd.

Having just finished his talent assessment, Li Muyang turned around expressionlessly, showing no reaction.

Amid the crowd, whispers began to rise.

"Ah? Only a third stage root bone... Such an ordinary talent and root bone, how did he manage to reach the third layer of the Qi Refining Stage in two months?"

"I heard he reached the third layer of the Qi Refining Stage in three months, and I thought he must at least have a lower-grade talent... Turns out it’s just ordinary, astonishing."

The whispers among the crowd were all discussing the results of Li Muyang’s talent assessment.

Clearly, this result was beyond the expectations of these Outer Sect Disciples.

As Li Muyang walked down from the high platform, he brushed past the next Outer Sect Disciple going up for the test.

For some reason, as he looked at the crowd pointing fingers and buzzing with discussion below, Li Muyang felt a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.

His younger stepsister Li Yuechan appeared from the side.

The girl dutifully said, "Brother, don’t mind their gossip. They are just envious of your cultivation speed."

The girl was offering Li Muyang heartfelt comfort.

Li Muyang chuckled and shook his head, "I wasn’t really concerned in the first place."

If it weren’t necessary for all new Outer Sect Disciples to participate in this grand sect selection, Li Muyang wouldn’t have bothered wasting time here.

Currently, the sect selection site resembled a sea of people.

Not only were these new Outer Sect Disciples from the past two years here for the assessments, but also a few Outer Sect Disciples who had reached the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Stage were attending the Inner Sect exam, and many spectators who came to watch the excitement.

Life in the Outer Sect was harsh, and the environment extremely closed off, so when there was the slightest chance for entertainment and excitement, these Outer Sect Disciples swarmed in.

Li Muyang and his stepsister Li Yuechan made their way through the crowd and saw a different talent testing platform nearby, where the tester showed a surprised expression.

"Root bone... eighth stage!"

"Ning Wan’er from Jiuyuan City, Talent: High Grade!"

The tester’s surprised shout instantly provoked a wave of gasps.

"An eighth stage root bone... High grade talent! Who is this Ning Wan’er from Jiuyuan City?"

"Such terrifying talent, a talent like this could definitely secure a place in the Inner Sect!"

"Wow, she’s beautiful!"

"She’s pretty and talented, she must be the daughter of some noble family... She looks so dignified."

"Jiuyuan City Ning family... Haven’t heard of them before, where is Jiuyuan City again?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussions, all looking up at the girl on the platform with awe and respect.

An eighth stage root bone was already a one-in-ten-thousand genius.

Such a talent, not to mention entering the Inner Sect, might even catch the eye of an Elder and become a Direct Disciple.

The crowd who came to enjoy the spectacle and participate in the tests were looking at the girl on the high platform with envy and longing, wishing they were her.

Just a moment ago they were all Outer Sect Disciples, but with the tester’s announcement, this Miss Ning from Jiuyuan City was about to leap to a higher status...

Li Yuechan blinked in surprise, exclaiming, "Sister Ning’s talent is so high!"

Although there were rumors before that Ning Wan’er had extraordinary talent and a chance to advance to the Inner Sect, the actual test results stunned everyone.

Curious, Li Muyang turned to his stepsister and asked, "Yu Chan, what’s your talent?"

The little girl had her talent tested when he was called to queue and wait, so he had missed the results.

Facing her elder brother’s curious inquiries, Li Yuechan stuck out her tongue and said, "It’s also tier three..."

Li Muyang patted her shoulder and said, "Don’t mind it, tier three is enough."

"In the current Cultivation World, it’s all about resources."

Ever since the technological explosion in the Cultivation World, whether it’s the Demon Path or the Path of Immortality, both had moved away from the traditional cultivation methods that relied on innate talent, constitution, and comprehension.

In today’s world, although innate talent and constitution can determine the upper limit, using a massive amount of resources can also turn ordinary talents into experts.

Take Li Muyang for example, his constitution was merely tier three, an average stance. But with a daily meal of high-grade Spirit Rice, his cultivation speed was comparable to those of the aristocratic family heirs.

Even in those aristocratic families, only the core disciples could match his luxurious cultivation resources.

Li Muyang consoled his adopted sister, but Li Yuechan’s smile was slightly guilty.

Her talent was actually not low, definitely more than tier three.

But before the Sect’s grand selection, an elder had advised her to suppress her talent to avoid being selected into the Inner Sect.

After hesitating, Li Yuechan decided to follow the elder’s advice and not join the Inner Sect for now.

"Something seems to have happened in the Refinement Demon Sect, that Escaping Light that tore through the sky that night was the Sect Master of the Demon Refining Sect."

"This person, who usually stays out of public view and seldom appears, must have shown himself this time due to some significant issue."

"Although the specifics are unknown, anything that requires the attention of the Sect Master of the Demon Refining Sect... is definitely no small matter."

"For safety, you’d better avoid this Sect’s grand selection and peacefully stay sheltered in the Outer Sect for your cultivation."

"Although the cultivation resources in the Outer Sect are inferior, with my help, your progress won’t be much slower. Once you enter the Inner Sect, you’ll be deeply mired and unable to extricate yourself."

Li Yuechan kept the elder’s advice in her heart.

In the crowd, the siblings Li Muyang and Li Yuechan left laughingly.

Meanwhile, atop the high platform, Ning Wan’er had already become the center of attention due to her extremely high talent.

Several Inner Sect disciples quickly approached her, all displaying warm and friendly smiles.

"Junior Sister Ning has such strong talent, with such constitution, she’ll surely enter the Inner Sect directly."

"Exactly, with such talent, she might even catch the Elders’ favor and possibly become a Direct Disciple."

These Inner Sect disciples, originally arrogant and contemptuous, generally scorned speaking with these mud-legged people from the Outer Sect.

Although they had showcased some of their cultivation prowess upon arrival, causing the Outer Sect disciples below to exclaim in admiration continuously,

the Inner Sect disciples walked away immediately after the Sect’s grand selection, standing aside coldly and impatiently waiting.

However, now that Ning Wan’er’s terrifying talent had dramatically come to light, these previously aloof Inner Sect disciples were all kindly approaching her to chat. Your adventure continues at NovelBin.Côm

Some enthusiastically explained the Inner Sect regulations to her, and others informed her about the various Elders’ cultivation levels in the Inner Sect, appearing to be all very good people.

And the surrounded Ning Wan’er, with a smile full of grace and politeness, dealt with these diverse-minded Inner Sect disciples, yet her gaze unconsciously glanced outside the crowd.

There, the Li siblings were making their way out of the crowd.

At a time when everyone was flocking towards her to observe and enjoy the spectacle, those two siblings going against the crowd were particularly conspicuous.

Regarding her extremely terrifying talent, those siblings... especially that young master from the Li mansion, seemed utterly indifferent.

His expression was calm as he talked with his sister beside him, not only indifferent to her, his former admirer, but even her immense talent couldn’t make them pause.

The young Master Li, who used to always be around her, making her somewhat annoyed, was now so distant and indifferent, ignoring her completely.

This feeling of being ignored made Ning Wan’er slightly annoyed.

Tsk... this Li Muyang.

Although she knew he probably wasn’t playing hard to get, it was still... annoying!
