Lin Baichuan casually put away that cluster of Yin-Yang Profound Yellow Origin Qi, but a sharp glint flashed through his eyes as he looked at Old Mu, the White-Robed Elder. In a deep voice, he asked, "Senior, could you introduce this Yuheng Star Palace to me?"
"The Yuheng Star Palace is a precious treasure left behind by my master, meant to select disciples."
Old Mu chuckled. "The entire Yuheng Star Palace has five trials. Passing the third trial makes one a registered disciple, while passing the fourth makes one an outer disciple.
"If one can pass the fifth trial, one can become an inner disciple and also take control of the Yuheng Star Palace..."
"There are five trials in total."
The gleam in Lin Baichuan's eyes grew brighter. He had already passed the second trial. As long as he passed three more, he could take control of the entire Yuheng Star Palace.
"Young man, your ambitions are not small. But... I'm afraid passing all the trials is impossible for you."
Old Mu saw through Lin Baichuan's ambitions at a glance and immediately chuckled. "Becoming my master's inner disciple is not so easy.
"Since ancient times, countless people have come to the Yuheng Star Palace to challenge the trials.
"Among them were no shortage of Heavenly Prodigies and Monstrous Talents. There were even those whose talent and combat strength surpassed yours, yet not a single one succeeded in clearing all the trials.
"Because the five great trials set by my master do not assess pure talent and combat strength..."
"I do know that much. The first trial tested combat strength, while the second tested willpower. I assume the remaining three trials test different things as well!"
Lin Baichuan smiled faintly, not angered by Old Mu's lack of faith in him.
