Make Many Friends

Fang Xuan didn't show the slightest arrogance. Instead, he greeted everyone warmly, being sociable and ensuring no one felt left out.

In many novels, after the protagonist enters a sect, they always encounter various enemies who oppose them. Part of it is due to competing for opportunities, but more often it's because they don't make friends. Simply put, they are arrogant because of their Golden Finger.

Think about it, tens of thousands of outer disciples in the Yuhua Sect are competing for a few thousand inner disciple spots. The cruelty of the competition is self-evident. If one had enough friends, many unnecessary disputes wouldn't even arise.

Think about Fang Qingxue. Why are so many true disciples dissatisfied with her? Besides being jealous of her opportunities, it's because she is aloof and doesn't have many friends, making her seem easy to bully.

Although strength is paramount in this world of immortality, making more friends during leisure time isn't a waste. At the very least, it will reduce some baseless disputes and allow for better cultivation.

Fang Xuan said with a smile, "It's just because I've cultivated some body-tempering techniques, so my muscles and bones are a bit stronger. I can't compare to your sharp sword techniques, each with its own style, killing in an instant, forming your own school. You are much more skilled than me. From now on, we are all outer disciples, and we should look out for each other in the future."

"Haha, we are all fellow disciples, so naturally, we should look out for each other," Tie Kaicheng nodded.

"That's right. After this assessment is over, we can go together to receive sect missions and interact more in the future," Shan Baofeng said.

During the subsequent assessments, some people were eliminated, while others passed.

The Ninth Princess, Shen Ruolan, also narrowly passed, shouting excitedly.

At this point, the advantage of noble status became apparent. Compared to others, their attacks were fierce, and they possessed divine weapons and sharp tools, almost effortlessly dealing with the Divine Strength Puppets, revealing their profound strength.

After a day passed, the assessment finally ended. Out of hundreds of assessment participants, only over twenty passed the assessment and became outer disciples. The ratio was simply too low.

"Today's assessment is over. Those who did not pass should wait in the hall. We will send immortal cranes to escort you out of the Yuhua Sect later. As for the disciples who passed the assessment, please follow me to receive the necessary items from the sect. Our Yuhua Sect will provide you with living quarters. From now on, you are members of the Yuhua Sect, disciples of immortals. Your status is extraordinary, and your every word and action must strictly adhere to the sect rules."

An assessment official said loudly, leading the people who passed the assessment towards the interior of the Immortal Ascension Institute.

Those who passed the assessment followed closely, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. As for the frustration and envy on the faces of those who did not pass, there was no need to pay them any mind.

Once one enters the immortal sect, the immortal and mortal realms are forever separated.

Soon, a group of people arrived at a large storage room deep within the inner courtyard. Dozens of boxes were placed inside, exactly one for each person.

Crack~

The leading assessment official opened a large box. Inside, there was a feather robe, several jade carved talismans, a shark skin longsword, and several jade carved books.

"This feather robe is a Magic Item, woven from the silk of five types of silkworms: heavenly silkworm, earthly silkworm, golden silkworm, silver silkworm, and black silkworm. It is blended with a hundred kinds of spiritual medicines. Wearing it while traveling in the mountains can ward off a hundred insects. Snakes, insects, rats, and ants will not invade, and it can ward off a hundred poisons and various miasmas. Furthermore, it is impervious to swords and spears; only Magic Items can damage it. These few talismans, the first one is a Clean Clothes Talisman. It contains magical water. As long as your body is dirty, with a thought, the magical water will turn into mist, surrounding your body, and immediately take away the filth, making your whole body clean.

The second one is a Dust Repelling Talisman, the third is a Soul Fire Talisman, which can produce fire at any time, and the fourth is a True Water Talisman, which can absorb moisture from the air at all times and purify and store it in the talisman. You will use these things when you go to the desert to perform various sect missions and cultivate your skills.

The fifth talisman is a Blood Stopping Talisman. It contains medicinal power and can treat various skin and flesh wounds. If you are cut by a knife or sword, using it can immediately stop bleeding, relieve pain, and heal the wound."

The assessment official explained all the clothes and talismans, then took out a sword. With a swish, he drew it out. A sharp light shone, like a dragon's roar and a crane's cry. The sword body shimmered with inch-long rays of light.

"This is the Demon Slaying Sword forged by the Immortal Feather Sect. Although it is not a flying sword, it can cut iron like mud, and it contains yang energy, which can kill yin souls and evil spirits and ward off demons. It is also a Magic Item. As long as you have the opportunity to be promoted to an inner disciple, the sect will bestow upon you a true flying sword with spiritual energy, which can kill people dozens of miles away and even allow you to fly with the sword.

Also, these few jade slips record the three basic martial arts of the Yuhua Sect: Pine Crane Longevity Fist, Flying Spirit Supple Bone Body, and Dragon Form Flying Tiger Step. The rest are the rules of our Yuhua Sect, as well as some matters about other sects, demonic beasts, the deep abyss, and the major dynasties overseas. The general astronomy and geography are all included. Your daily task now is to carefully study and cultivate."

All the outer disciples who passed the assessment were stunned by the contents of the box before them. Although they were all descendants of powerful families and royal nobles from various dynasties, no matter how noble their status, they were extremely shocked by these new items.

It wasn't that they hadn't heard of these things. Occasionally, some merchant associations in the mortal world would sell them, but which one wasn't worth a fortune? And even if you had money, you might not be able to buy them.

And now, these things were laid out before them, and they were merely the so-called benefits for outer disciples, essential for everyone.

Damn, as expected of an immortal sect.

Indeed, once one enters the immortal sect, the immortal and mortal realms are forever separated.

And the Demon Slaying Sword in their hands, if this thing were auctioned in a mortal dynasty, it could be said to be priceless.

Holding the Demon Slaying Sword in his hand, Fang Xuan felt a chilling sword energy with a gentle swing, making his skin tingle.

"Good sword," Fang Xuan's eyes lit up.

The precious sword he had bought for dozens of taels was simply a joke in front of this Demon Slaying Sword. Someone next to him actually clashed his own precious sword with the Demon Slaying Sword. With a light sound, his own precious sword broke into two pieces on the spot, while the Demon Slaying Sword was completely unharmed.

Shen Hao said with a smile, "Of course it's a good sword. These swords were forged with the magical power of Mystic Divine Realm experts. Even a piece of ordinary iron, if the magical power of a Mystic Divine Realm expert is added during forging, will become a divine weapon."

Shen Ruolan also said with an envious look, "Mystic Divine Realm, I wonder if I will ever have the chance to step into this mysterious and unpredictable realm in this lifetime."

"Haha, it's up to us! Work hard to cultivate, and maybe it will really happen."

The few people carefully put away these things one by one, and then found their living quarters according to the assessment official's instructions.
