Time flew by, and half a month passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the sect competition.
The Xia family was a subsidiary family of the Qiankun Sect. They could enjoy preferential treatment to a certain extent, but they could not directly recruit them. However, with Xia Ziyan's talent, it was not a problem for him to enter the inner sect. If he was lucky, he might even become a personal disciple of an elder or the sect master.
Xia Ziyan's cultivation had already reached the late stage of the ninth level of Qi Refinement. He would be able to establish his foundation soon. Moreover, at the age of 16, even if he had a single spiritual root attribute, it was enough to prove his hard work. Such a person was very popular in any sect.
On the way back, they had already analyzed their brother's sect. The Qiankun Sect was the number one sect among all the sects, and it only accepted male disciples. It was also very suitable for them. Autumn Sect was ranked second, which was the sect they had met before, Xu Hai's sect. Cloud Dream Palace was ranked third and only accepted female disciples. Chenyun Sect was ranked fourth and Liuyun Sect was ranked fifth. The latter two sects were not within their consideration, let alone Cloud Dream Palace. Therefore, the only sects they wanted to enter were Qiankun Sect and Qingqiu Sect. The Holy Palace did not look for disciples at all. The Holy Palace only recruited some powerful elders.
When the group set off, after several transfers, they finally arrived at the location of the sect competition, which was Jin City at the foot of Qiankun Sect.
Jin City was very big, about ten times the size of Xia City. There were wide streets, a dazzling array of goods, and pedestrians walking on the streets. The disciples of the Xia Clan who had followed them were dazzled.
Only Xia Ziyan, who was used to the hustle and bustle of the modern city, did not have much of a reaction to the bustling Jincheng. Other than his brother's matter that could attract his attention, no matter how good Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua were, they could not attract his interest.
In a bustling city, there would always be some unpleasant sounds...
"A bunch of country bumpkins, don't stand in the way.”A sharp and malicious voice sounded from behind.
Xia Ziyan turned around and saw a few cultivators wearing golden robes standing behind him.
The leader was a young man around 16 or 17 years old. His expression was slightly cold, and he looked at Xia Ziyan and the others as if they didn't exist.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man behind the man. He could not tell the cultivation level of this man. He could not deduce the identity of the middle-aged man from his sharp voice and smooth chin.
" What are you looking at?" The middle-aged man said arrogantly."Hurry up and make way for our young master. Can you bear the responsibility of delaying our young master's time?”
The middle-aged man's words made Xia Ziyan frown slightly. He did not like this person's attitude very much. However, he had the principle of not causing trouble when he was outside. In addition, they should not have blocked the city gate in the first place. Therefore, he awkwardly touched his nose and retreated.
Seeing this, the others took a few steps back and made way. The group of people walked arrogantly past the Xia family.
Interlude like this happened countless times every day, and Xia Ziyan did not care at all.
At the Qiankun Sect's registration area, one had to be present personally. Hence, after Xia Ziyan settled down the Xia family, he brought Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua to the registration area to register.
There were two types of registration sites. One was the registration site for the third to eighth level Qi Refinement realm, and the other was the registration site for the eighth level Qi Refinement realm and above. In other words, the lowest cultivator here was also at the third level Qi Refinement realm.
Because it was currently the peak period of the recruitment of new disciples, the registration site was particularly lively. However, there were very few people who registered for the eighth level of Qi Refinement. After all, there were still very few people with talent like Xia Ziyan. Soon, it was his turn.
Xia Ziyan, Xia Zichun, and Xia Zihua were all wearing the same masks. They looked a little different in the venue. Even the disciples in charge of registration could not help but take a second look at them.
Under the guidance of the disciples in charge of registration, Xia Ziyan and the others quickly completed their registration. The registration fee was paid by Xia Ziyan because Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua did not bring money at all. Their money was usually paid by Xia Ziyan. The registration fee was one low-grade spirit stone per person. Xia Ziyan directly handed over three low-grade spirit stones and received three wooden tokens for the assessment.
After registering, Xia Ziyan did not want to stay any longer and led Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua out.
"Zi Chun, Zi Hua, let's go. I'll bring you guys to eat delicious food!”Xia Ziyan said with a smile.
"Yay, what is big brother taking us to eat?”Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua cheered.
Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua only revealed their childlike nature in front of Xia Ziyan. They never showed any good expressions in front of others. Every time they showed a happy expression to Xia Ziyan, Xia Ziyan felt that these two younger brothers were really worth raising. This kind of attitude made Xia Ziyan's brother-control mentality become more and more serious.
"When I came back, I had already inquired about the situation in Jincheng. There was a restaurant not far from our inn, and the food there was quite delicious.”Xia Ziyan thought about it. Recently, they had been cultivating. That way, they could improve their cultivation. However, if they were nervous, it would not be good for them to perform abnormally during the assessment. Moreover, their current cultivation was already considered the top among the registered disciples, so he said,"Let's relax for the next few days. I'll bring you guys around.”
"Yes." Xia Zichun replied. These days, their brother had been cultivating and had no time to accompany them. Now that they finally had time, they had to cherish every moment with their brother. Because they knew that after the assessment, their brother would start cultivating. Ever since he said those inexplicable words in the Yuanyang Restaurant, his brother rarely had time to accompany them. Even on the way to Jincheng, he had been cultivating. During this period of time, they also... They had also been accompanying their brother in cultivation. The bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi Refinement had already begun to loosen. They should be able to break through to the ninth level within these few days.
Xia Ziyan brought Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua to the restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes. He also asked for a small pot of sake. Ever since he came to this world, he really hadn't drunk anything like wine. When he first brought it up, he was really a little greedy.
Xia Ziyan slowly poured himself a glass of sake and drank it slowly. His face was filled with satisfaction. Not long after, the entire pot of sake was finished by Xia Ziyan. At this moment, Xia Ziyan's face started to turn red. Xia Ziyan also knew that he could not drink anymore, so he did not ask for more. Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua had initially disagreed with Xia Ziyan drinking, but for some reason, they suddenly thought it through. They watched Xia Ziyan drink cup after cup, their faces filled with anticipation. When Xia Ziyan finished the entire pot of sake, they said, She didn't drink anymore, showing a trace of regret. If only her brother was drunk tonight.
"What's wrong?" Xia Ziyan saw a trace of regret in Xia Zichun's eyes as he asked.
"Ah, it's nothing, brother. It's just that we're a little hungry now.”After saying that, Xia Zichun lowered his head in embarrassment. (Actually not.)
"Then hurry up and eat. Don't starve."
At this time, the food was already served. Xia Ziyan began to take care of Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua as they started to eat. Actually, they could eat well themselves. After all, they were already in their teens. If they didn't even know how to eat, they would really be useless. Even without their brother's disdain, they would be ashamed to death. However, one of them liked to take care of them, and the other two liked to enjoy their brother's care of them. Hence, this habit had continued since they came to this house.
"Phew, I'm so full." Xia Ziyan rubbed his round belly and said happily,""Let's go back."
When Xia Ziyan brought Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua back to the inn, the sky was already starting to darken.
When they returned to the inn, they saw Uncle Lin waiting for them at the entrance.
When they came back, Xia Rongxiao was a little worried about their safety, so he arranged a lot of guards for them. However, he rejected them. It was another matter if they could help with so many people. Just thinking about it, there were so many people following behind them. Xia Ziyan felt a headache. However, Xia Rongxiao refused to let them leave alone. In the end, Xia Ziyan agreed to bring Uncle Lin and two other people.
Uncle Lin was at the entrance of the inn, looking around anxiously. The moment he saw Xia Ziyan, he came up to him.
"Brat, you only know one trick. You only know how to bring your two younger brothers and have fun. After registering, you don't know how to come back quickly. Don't you know that there are still a few people waiting for you here?”Uncle Lin said with some anger.
Xia Ziyan rubbed his nose awkwardly.""Hehe…That wouldn't happen again. Aren't we fine now?"
"'Next time', good boy, you still want to have a next time.”Uncle Lin widened his eyes and said," You'd better not go anywhere for the next few days. Now, because of the sect competition, so many cultivators have suddenly swarmed into Jincheng. Jincheng is at the foot of the Qiankun Sect's mountain, and its security is very good. However, if you get injured at this juncture, you'll have to wait for another five years. This is not a joke."”
