Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Brother Li: I’m Not Joking

Liang Hui, seated cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze inexplicably fixed on the token in his hand.

He had entered dreams several times in a row, yet he could never penetrate the body shrouded in grey fog.

Without using the Flowing Light Bell, it was impossible to drive it out.

However, using the Flowing Light Bell required revealing oneself, and once revealed, he could no longer enter its body.

’In the future, I’ll minimize contact with Huang Wu.’

The young man made a decision in his heart.

He stowed the token away and took out a jade-colored hairpin from his bosom.

It was a relic obtained from Lu Xue’s corpse, with the hope it would yield a decent harvest. He whispered in his heart,

’Enter the dream!’

The next instant, the young man’s eyes filled with bewilderment.

After several breaths, the confusion in his eyes began to clear.

Gazing at the hairpin in his palm, Liang Hui tapped his forehead lightly.

Although the dream took place during Lu Xue’s childhood, her father’s presence in the scene made learning the "Vermilion Bird Four Strikes" much easier for Liang Hui.

He carefully put the hairpin back into his bosom.

Liang Hui sat cross-legged on the bed and began the Taoist’s cultivation.

For the next five days, being in an inn, he spent most of his time seated cross-legged on the bed, engaging in Seal Script level cultivation.

At dawn, Liang Hui, who was seated cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes.

Sensing the Mana Field enveloping him, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Over the past five days, he had transformed all the white breath in his abdomen into red Mana.

Upon completion of the transformation, a Magic Domain automatically formed around his body.

It provided a decent defense and would continuously improve with the strengthening of his Mana and could also be retracted with just a thought.

Liang Hui was now halfway through the Seal Script Realm.

All he needed to do was absorb the same amount of breath and transform it into Mana before he could begin warming and nurturing the Crimson Cloud Sword.

Halting the stream of thoughts in his mind, Liang Hui stood up.

Carrying a long spear, a solid bow, and wearing a sharp sword at his waist, he walked towards the door.

Today is the day Lan Yue Sect comes to the Taoist Palace to recruit disciples, and he needed to head there early.

Walking on the streets, he heard ongoing discussions about the Taoist Palace and the Martial Arts Institute from the people around him.

Soon, Liang Hui arrived in front of a building complex that spanned several hundred acres, with its large wooden doors fashioned from redwood wide open, and two blue characters for ’Taoist Palace’ inscribed on the door plaque.

By now, quite a few people had already gathered at the entrance of the Taoist Palace, most of them parents of disciples inside, hoping that their sons and daughters could successfully enter Lan Yue Sect.

Liang Hui pushed through the crowd blocking the way and strode forward.

He didn’t wait for the guards at the gate to stop him; instead, he directly showed the token given to him by Huang Wu.

He entered the Taoist Palace without any obstruction, sensing the aura within and quickly walked towards the place with the densest and strongest energy.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The crisp sound of footsteps seemed somewhat out of place in the quiet square.

Children around eleven or twelve years old turned their heads, looking towards the tall, slender figure walking towards them at a leisurely pace.

Some children looked surprised; others showed a touch of realization and continued to look up at the empty stage at the very front of the square.

Liang Hui found a secluded spot and quietly waited.

About half an hour passed when a silver-white light streaked across the sky, closely followed by a somewhat slower blue Flying Boat.

The silver-white light descended onto the stage, revealing a young man in a silver-white robe holding a silver-white disc, his face wearing a gentle smile.

"Everyone, my name is Li Haoran, a disciple of Silver Moon Peak, and I will be overseeing this recruitment," the young man said.

As his words ended, the blue Flying Boat landed on the open ground.

Several figures leaped down and stood behind Li Haoran of their own accord, each exuding a different aura—whether explosive, deep and cold, or soft and gentle like water.

Under such a formation, the children below the stage looked up with fiery eyes, full of longing.

Liang Hui, standing to the side, gave a slight nod; though the few people on the stage had not reached the Warm Nurturing Phase like Lu Xue, whom he had defeated, they had all traveled a significant distance within the Seal Script Realm.

"Long story short, the selection method this time is the same as in previous years."

"The amount of breath, the solidity of the foundation, the strength of the will."

Thump!

Liang Hui strode forward, moving to the area beneath the high platform, and threw his token directly towards the leading youth.

"Yellow Peak Master?" Li Haoran grasped the token, his gaze showing a trace of astonishment.

’Peak Master?’

A hint of surprise flickered through Liang Hui’s mind, truly not expecting Huang Wu’s identity to be the Crimson Moon Peak Master.

"Yellow Peak Master, let me join Lan Yue Pavilion directly this time."

His words were straightforward, without excessive concealment.

As for the various gazes behind him, he didn’t mind them in the slightest.

Li Haoran, with a thoughtful look, watched the figure below. With Crimson Moon Peak Master’s ability, he could let anyone directly join Crimson Moon Peak without this added step.

Was it because their relationship wasn’t very close, or was there some other reason?

Thinking this, it might not be impossible to please the Silver Moon Peak Master and not offend the Crimson Moon Peak Master too much.

"I understand, come up here, brother. After the assessment, we’ll go back together," said Li Haoran, speaking gently.

Liang Hui nodded, leapt up, and stood upon the high stage.

As Liang Hui took his position, the youth produced a small black stele in his palm and tossed it downwards.

Midair, the stele kept enlarging and turned into a stele one zhang wide and five zhang tall as it landed.

"From left to right, come up one by one, and place your palm on the stele to input your Inner Breath."

"If the stele turns cyan, you pass the test of breath and foundation."

Following that remark, the children orderly approached the stele and input their breath.

"Grey, disqualify!"

"Grey, disqualify!"

.....

"Cyan, qualify!"

About twenty people later, finally one child met the requirements.

With the passage of time, Liang Hui roughly gauged the probability of the children’s successful qualification, one percent.

An hour later, nearly a hundred children stood in the square, and the rest were all eliminated.

Subsequently, Li Haoran and the people behind him released their auras, eliminating more than thirty children with weaker wills.

"Brother Qin, the assessment has ended, it’s time for us to leave."

Turning around, he addressed the children in the square and pointed to the blue Flying Boat on the side.

"Fellow junior brothers, we will take the Flying Boat to Lan Yue Pavilion."

"Yes, senior brother."

Soon, Liang Hui joined the others and boarded the Flying Boat.

Transforming into a streak of flowing light, they headed towards the four peaks piercing into the clouds.

About halfway there, Liang Hui walked slowly to Li Haoran’s side, gazing down at the continuously passing forests, lands, and hills beneath them.

"Brother Li, did you forget to return the token."

The youth paused for a moment, then spoke with an apologetic tone, "I’m sorry, I was preoccupied with the assessment and forgot."

As he spoke, he had already taken out the token engraved with the character "Yellow" from his embrace and passed it over.

Liang Hui rubbed the token in his palm and his mouth curled into a smile.

"Brother Li, your joke isn’t funny at all. It could get someone killed."
