In the blink of an eye, more than half of the three months had passed. There was only a month left until Xiao Yan's Coming of Age Ceremony.
In the neat little house, Xiao Yan stared blankly at the green-colored liquid in the wooden basin. This was the last Foundation Elixir. The higher the Dou Zhi Qi, the harder it was to cultivate. Ever since he broke through to the seventh stage, the Dou Zhi Qi in Xiao Yan's body had been silent for nearly two months. In these two months, no matter how much he cultivated, the feeling of breaking through never appeared.
Staring at the wooden basin like a fool for a long while, Xiao Yan helplessly shook his head and muttered,"I wonder if I can break through to 8 Duan Qi with this last drop of Foundation Elixir?”
Xiao Yan slowly stood up and unexpectedly did not continue to cultivate Dou Zhi Qi. Instead, he took out a set of black clothes from the wardrobe…
One month before the coming of age ceremony, everyone had to participate in a prediction. The purpose of the prediction was to eliminate those who failed to pass the test. After the coming of age ceremony, those with a Dou Qi above 7 Duan Qi would be eligible to enter the Dou Qi Pavilion to search for cultivation techniques. However, those below 7 Duan Qi would lose this right. After the coming of age ceremony, they would be assigned to various properties in the family. In the future, if one did not perform outstandingly or catch up to the other outstanding clansmen in terms of cultivation, it would be very difficult for them to become an internal clan again…
She had just changed her clothes when a light knock came from the door.
"Xiao Yan ge-ge, are you there?"
Hearing the young lady's clear voice, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. He buttoned his clothes and grabbed the wooden basin with both hands. After hiding it in a hidden corner, he slowly walked to the door and pulled it open.
The door was opened, and warm sunlight immediately poured in. It shone on the black-robed youth, making him look exceptionally energetic.
Outside the door, the young lady was slim and elegant. Her refreshing light green clothes perfectly complemented her delicate body that had just begun to take shape. Her small breasts were covered by the clothes. Although she was a little inexperienced, she still proudly released the temptation of youth. On her small waist that could not be held, a purple belt was casually tied. The breeze blew, and the purple belt fluttered...
Eyeing the delicate young lady outside the door, Xiao Yan was stunned for quite a while before slowly recovering. He sized Xun Er up and clicked his tongue in wonder,"It's so early in the morning, and I thought that some goddess had descended. After taking a closer look, it turns out to be my Xun Er.”
Hearing Xiao Yan's somewhat teasing praise and laughter, Xun Er's large watery eyes blinked. She merely pursed her small mouth in a reserved manner and smiled. However, that pair of shapely eyebrows that quietly curved into a beautiful crescent moon revealed the joy in the young lady's heart.
Xun Er's limpid eyes carried some joy. She also gently lifted her exquisite chin and sized up the young man who had just opened the door.
Close to a year of bitter training had caused Xiao Yan to shed some of his childishness. His delicate and pretty face had an additional inexplicable charm. The long period of physical training had also caused Xiao Yan's body to become sturdy and strong. With a black shirt on his body, he could be considered a handsome young man.
Xiao Yan walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. Looking at Xun Er who was staring at him without blinking, Xiao Yan was a little stunned as he sized himself up and asked doubtfully,"Is there anything wrong?"
Xun Er's pretty little face turned slightly red. She hurriedly shifted her gaze away and pursed her lips into a smile."Let's go, Xiao Yan ge-ge. Today is the predicted day. Are you ready?”
Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders. The corner of his mouth was lifted into a faintly discernible arrogance. He slowly clenched his extended hand and said with a faint smile,"From today onwards, the title of trash will be returned to those who gave it to me!”
Looking at the confident Xiao Yan, Xun Er tilted her small head and said with a smile,"I believe in Xiao Yan ge-ge!"
"Of course you believe me. You've probably seen through my strength again, right?”Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at her. He curled his lips and helplessly said.
Looking at the somewhat depressed Xiao Yan, Xun Er smiled and nodded slightly. She spread her hands cutely and said with a smile,"From the third to the seventh Duan Qi, it only took less than a year. Xiao Yan ge-ge's training talent is something that even Xun Er cannot compare to…"
"Let's go, girl!"
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose. His hand intimately patted Xun Er's head. After which, he waved his hand and walked toward the training ground behind the clan.
Xun Er smiled gratefully as she watched the young man's back, which was completely different from the desolated and dejected look he had in the past. She softly muttered,"Xiao Yan ge-ge, Xun Er has already said that you will find your own dignity and glory…"
……
On the huge bluestone training ground, over a hundred meters of young men and women stood there. Waves of noise rose into the sky.
In the training ground, there was a huge black testing stone tablet. This kind of testing stone tablet was only qualified to be equipped by some powerful families. It was expensive. Beside the black stone tablet was the same cold examiner from a year ago.
On the platform on the left side of the training ground sat some of the family's insiders. In the center were the patriarch Xiao Zhan and the three elders.
In the arena, the young men and women who were about to be judged were standing nervously. Some of them who usually performed well did not have much nervousness on their faces, while some of those with average talent or low talent had a hesitant and nervous expression.
Xiao Zhan looked at his clansmen with a sullen face and sighed softly in his heart. Yan Er, can you get through this?
"Patriarch, it is almost time. Why is Xiao Yan not here yet?”The Second Elder asked with a frown.
Xiao Zhan glanced at him and said lightly,""It's not time yet, what's the hurry? Why didn't the Second Elder have this much self-control?”
The Second Elder's face turned slightly ugly after being choked by Xiao Zhan. He coldly snorted and said,"Even if you buy him the Foundation Elixir, it's impossible for him to reach 7 Duan Qi in a year! Don't expect a miracle."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face became angry. He was also feeling irritated, but this guy was just picking on the topic. Just as he was about to reprimand him, the scene became slightly chaotic.
Turning his gaze, he saw two figures slowly approaching from the small path at the end of the square. Their calm footsteps did not seem to be in a hurry because of today's important day.
Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at the faint smile on the black-robed youth's face. For some reason, he let out a sigh of relief…
