Chapter 168: Submitting a task

He never expected that the guy who looked like a giant turkey in front of him would be so powerful, even he was not his match.

“Junior Brother, this big tur…”

Halfway through his sentence, Xuan Hu, realizing something was amiss, immediately shut his mouth.

He noticed that Little Red’s eyes were staring intently at him.

If he said anything slightly wrong, Little Red’s beating would be waiting for him.

“Where did you get this beautiful little bird?”

After much thought, Xuan Hu finally came up with that phrase.

“I met Little Red by chance in my former Sect.”

Seeing Xuan Hu’s cautious demeanor, Ye Lin chuckled.

“So that’s how it is, Junior Brother is indeed very lucky.”

Looking at the majestic Little Red, Xuan Hu’s face was filled with envy.

A Golden Core Peak Yao Beast, he was no match for it.

And upon closer inspection, this Yao Beast was still in its cub state; if a cub could already reach Golden Core Peak cultivation, what about when it matured?

Moreover, its combat power was incredibly strong; in the future, it would definitely be a great help.

How many Cultivators dreamed of having a Yao Beast with powerful combat ability and high growth potential?

Yao Beasts are not like humans; once a Yao Beast recognizes its master, it generally cannot betray them.

One prospers together, one suffers together.

“Senior Brother, you flatter me.”

Seeing this, Ye Lin said with a smile.

“Go, Little Red.”

After Ye Lin spoke, Little Red let out a low growl, glared at Xuan Hu with its small eyes, and then spread its wings and soared into the sky.

Flying and flying, Little Red’s 蹤影 was no longer seen.

“Junior Brother, you are…”

Feeling Little Red’s aura completely disappear, Xuan Hu’s eyes were filled with confusion.

“Little Red is kept in the Beast Controlling Bag all day, without freedom. Now I’m letting it move freely in this Outer Sect area so it can grow.”

After Ye Lin finished speaking, Xuan Hu nodded in strong agreement.

Since Ye Lin could be so at ease, it meant that Ye Lin had truly become a real partner with that Yao Beast.

Why did the Beast Controlling Sect develop Beast Controlling Bags? It was because their beast-controlling methods were extremely crude, forcing Yao Beasts into submission.

And the Beast Controlling Bag was to prevent Yao Beasts from escaping.

And Ye Lin’s ability to be so at ease increased his envy even more.

“Alright, Senior Brother, my task is complete, and I should leave now.”

Ye Lin looked at the distant Crocodile King’s corpse, pointed with his right hand, and Evil Slayer instantly shot out from behind him. In a short moment, the Crocodile King’s hide was completely peeled off.

“Very well.”

“However, Junior Brother, I need to tell you something. You have been in the Outer Sect for two months now, and soon, the Outer Sect Trial will commence. You need to pay attention, but with your strength, Junior Brother, this shouldn’t be difficult.”

“Outer Sect Trial?”

Hearing this, Ye Lin’s face was full of confusion.

Looking at Ye Lin’s puzzled eyes, Xuan Hu patiently explained.

“All of you new Disciples are brought in by people from the Deacon Pavilion. Of course, Sha Wudao, who brought you, is also from the Deacon Pavilion.”

“They specialize in traveling to various prefectures in the East Continent to find Prodigies. The Prodigies they find will first undergo some simple tests. If they pass the tests, they will become temporary Outer Sect Disciples.”

“After a period of time since joining, you will all undergo a unified trial. Only by passing this trial will you be considered true Nameless Mountain Outer Sect Disciples.”

“This trial for you is approaching, Junior Brother, you should prepare more.”

Hearing Xuan Hu’s explanation, Ye Lin finally understood.

As the Human Race’s top force, Nameless Mountain also has extremely high requirements for its Disciples.

Only through layers of screening can you gain a foothold.

However, even after gaining a foothold, you cannot relax. There will be corresponding trials every year, and if you don’t meet the standards, you will be kicked out of Nameless Mountain.

The purpose of these methods is to keep Disciples constantly feeling a sense of urgency and competition, thereby eliminating some Cultivators who slack off.

Cultivating Immortality is like sailing against the current; if you don’t advance, you retreat.

“So that’s how it is. Thank you, Senior Brother, for clarifying. However, Senior Brother, do you know what the contents of that trial are? So I can make some preparations.”

Ye Lin cupped his fists towards Xuan Hu and slowly said.

“It’s also very simple. There’s only one stage, and that is to place all of you new Disciples in an independent space.”

“Within the space, there are various traps and Yao Beasts. During this time, it not only tests your strength but also your adaptability.”

“However, as long as your strength is sufficient, nothing will be an issue.”

“After placing you in the independent space, there are only three days. If you can successfully pass through your own efforts within three days, you will be considered to have met the standard.”

After Xuan Hu finished speaking, Ye Lin nodded.

After listening, if one analyzes carefully, they will find that this trial seems simple, but in reality, it hides murderous intent.

Within the independent space, everything is uncontrollable. At that time, what needs to be wary of is not traps and Yao Beasts, but people.

“Thank you for informing me, Senior Brother.”

“Hahaha, it’s a small matter. But with Junior Brother’s strength, this small test is nothing. Only by passing the test will you be considered a true Nameless Mountain Outer Sect Disciple.”

“From then on, you will also be eligible to participate in all activities within the Sect.”

“But Junior Brother, you must be careful not to bring Yao Beasts into the trial.”

Halfway through his speech, as if he remembered something, Xuan Hu quietly cautioned.

With the strength of Ye Lin’s Yao Beast, what would be concerning then would not be the trial, but the other Disciples.

Even an experienced Golden Core Peak Disciple like him was no match, let alone those small fries at the Early Stage and Middle Stage of Golden Core.

“Hahaha, of course, I understand that.”

“But Senior Brother, what are these Sect activities you mentioned?”

Ye Lin laughed heartily and asked with a thought.

“That’s a secret. You’ll know naturally once you pass the trial. Those things are what can truly improve your strength.”

“Alright, Senior Brother still has a task, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Xuan Hu finished speaking mysteriously, then bid farewell to Ye Lin and flew into the distance.

Looking at Xuan Hu’s retreating figure, Ye Lin sighed, Nameless Mountain was indeed not that simple.

His understanding of Nameless Mountain was still only superficial.

After a moment of thought, Ye Lin shook his head. Why think about these things? He would know naturally when the time came.

Then Ye Lin took the Crocodile King’s hide and demonic core and flew towards the Mission Pavilion.

In a moment, Ye Lin arrived inside the Mission Pavilion.

The Mission Pavilion was still the same; Qi Mengmeng was sitting on a chair, Cultivating.

The entire Mission Pavilion looked extremely desolate.

“Senior Sister, I’m here to submit my task.”

After Ye Lin spoke, Qi Mengmeng stopped Cultivating and slowly opened her eyes. Upon seeing the items in Ye Lin’s hand, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Earlier, she had worried that Ye Lin would die in Crocodile Valley, which was why she kindly informed Xuan Hu, who had come to take on the task.

She didn’t expect Ye Lin not only to be alive but also to have completed the task?

As for Xuan Hu helping, it wasn’t in her consideration. She knew Xuan Hu’s strength very well.

Although he was strong, he was still a bit short of being able to complete the Crocodile Valley task alone.

“Junior Brother, I didn’t expect this. I thought you would run back in disgrace.”

Qi Mengmeng smiled and stood up, taking the items from Ye Lin’s hand with both hands.

Hearing Qi Mengmeng’s words, Ye Lin smiled slightly.

“Alright, Senior Sister will go get your reward now.”

“Then I’ll trouble Senior Sister.”
