Then Green Cloud Master took the lead, and the crowd followed him, heading towards the "Heavenly Ladder." The disciples outside, naturally not blind, all hurriedly made way for these Qingyun Sect bigwigs.

A moment later, everyone arrived in front of the "Heavenly Ladder."

"Hua Min'er," Green Cloud Master said softly, pointing at the Heavenly Ladder and turning to Hua Min'er, "you've walked it before, so go up yourself."

"Yes, Sect Master." Hua Min'er hastily bowed, then stepped out from the crowd, about to ascend the "Heavenly Ladder."

As if guided by fate, Hua Min'er cast a final glance at the crowd, and her gaze became locked. There, standing in the crowd, was the figure etched in her memory, smiling as he watched her. As if sensing her gaze, the owner of the figure's smile deepened, and he nodded gently at her.

Hua Min'er wanted to call out to that person, but seeing him shake his head, she quickly stopped herself. She then looked at him with confusion. The figure pointed at the "Heavenly Ladder" behind her, then nodded gently, full of encouragement. Hua Min'er smiled sweetly, naturally understanding his meaning: he wanted her to finish the test first before talking. With that thought, she stepped towards the Heavenly Ladder.

Seeing this, everyone watched the two with slight surprise. However, as Hua Min'er ascended the steps of the Heavenly Ladder, everyone temporarily forgot about it, focusing their attention on Hua Min'er climbing the "Heavenly Road."

"Haha, I remember the last time we were all here together was over ten years ago. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than a decade has passed," Gu Yuan said with a hearty laugh, unable to help himself.

"Yes, it was also a single person testing then. I witnessed it that time, but alas, heaven and earth did not permit it, and such a genius perished," Yuan Ming sighed regretfully, lamenting the tragic fate of a genius.

"Heh heh, that was a genius too?" Huang Se sneered sarcastically.

"Hmph!" Yuan Ming ignored him and let out a cold snort.

"Hee hee, Hua Min'er is different from Ling Tian. She's already at the twenty-fourth level of Qi Refining. It's only been two or three months, truly amazing. Congratulations, sister Feidie, the Qingdie Peak has struck gold this time," Wu Yun, as a fellow female Peak Master, was close with Ye Feidie and quickly congratulated her.

"Not at all, not at all, sister Wu is too kind," Ye Feidie replied with a faint smile, calmly.

"Heh heh, I wonder when my Qingshi Peak will have a genius like that?" The voice was deep and resonant, shaking the surroundings. It could only be Xiong Xiong.

"Old Xiong, a genius would be wasted on your Qingshi Peak, haha," Gu Yuan teased Xiong Xiong.

"Haha..."

Everyone burst into laughter. Even Leng Jian, who was usually indifferent, had the corners of his mouth twitching upwards.

"Wow, she actually climbed onto the green steps," a disciple exclaimed at this moment.

"Tch, what a fuss over nothing. Didn't we see this at Qingdie Peak before? Wait, the fifth step is green?!" A disciple scoffed slightly at the first disciple, but after a moment, he too exclaimed.

"She only looks slightly strained, she can probably go further," a disciple commented.

"Look, the fifth step is green!" a disciple said excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.

"The sixth step!" The voice was exceptionally excited.

"The eighth step!" The voice was high-pitched, practically a roar.

"It's blue." The voice sounded somewhat numb, having been shocked so many times that they were finally becoming somewhat desensitized.

"Blue, second step!"

"What step is it now?" a disciple, feeling dejected, asked the disciple next to him, pulling at his sleeve.

"The fourth step!" The disciple being pulled mumbled.

"Phew, Hua Min'er finally stopped. Watching her climb the 'Heavenly Ladder' is really tiring," a disciple said, letting out a long sigh as if he were the one climbing.

"Haha, blue, sixth step! A genius! No, a super genius!" The disciple was speaking incoherently.

"Congratulations, Peak Master Ye, on finding a rare talent that appears once in a thousand years." As Hua Min'er retreated after reaching the sixth blue step, several Peak Masters hurriedly congratulated Ye Feidie, their voices filled with envy.

"You all are too kind, Peak Masters." Ye Feidie could no longer remain calm, her face beaming with joy.

"Let's test her Innate Attribute first," Green Cloud Master said, his tone carrying a hint of something unusual. It was understandable, as this rare talent had slipped through his fingers.

"Yes, Sect Master." The others hastily agreed. Then, everyone followed Green Cloud Master.

Hua Min'er looked at the owner of that figure—Ling Tian—her eyes filled with joy. She was naturally happy that her talent was good. Then she looked at the several Peak Masters, her gaze full of inquiry towards Ling Tian.

Ling Tian gave Hua Min'er a thumbs-up, also overjoyed, and then nodded.

Hua Min'er, receiving his praise, was even happier than if she had reached the sixth blue step on the Heavenly Ladder. She nodded and happily followed the Peak Masters.

The group soon arrived before the "Wordless Jade Wall." Hua Min'er placed her hand on the Jade Wall as instructed by Green Cloud Master. A moment later, a dense green light emanated from the Jade Wall, so concentrated it seemed almost tangible.

"Innate Wood Attribute, and very potent. Excellent, excellent. It's very suitable for the Qingyun Sect's Cultivation Methods," Green Cloud Master praised, nodding. The Qingyun Sect's primary Cultivation Methods were based on the five elements of wood, making it very suitable for Hua Min'er to cultivate.

However, before Green Cloud Master could finish speaking, an unexpected change occurred. The dense green light on the "Wordless Jade Wall" rapidly converged, forming a glowing circle about the size of two palms. The circle spun, drawing surrounding energy towards it, which then entered Hua Min'er's body.

"This, this couldn't be..." Wu Yun stammered in astonishment.

Yuan Ming took a deep breath and nodded heavily, saying, "That's right, it's the 'Innate Wood Spirit Physique,' a constitution that appears once in ten thousand, no, a hundred million times."

"Could it really be the legendary 'Innate Spirit Physique' that cultivates a thousand miles in a day?" Ye Feidie exclaimed in disbelief, her expression full of wonder.

"There's no mistake. Hua Min'er possesses one of the five Innate Spirit Physiques—Wood, Metal, Water, Fire, or Earth. It's the Innate Wood Spirit Physique," Green Cloud Master confirmed, nodding, his tone even more peculiar.

"Heh heh..." Ye Feidie was speechless, simply grinning foolishly.

"Master, I have the 'Innate Wood Spirit Physique'?" Hua Min'er, not paying much attention, came to Ye Feidie, who was still in a daze, and asked casually, a little curious.

"Uh, yes, yes, it is. A legendary magical constitution. Heh heh, Min'er, you must cultivate diligently and not waste your physique. However, even if you don't cultivate much, your progress will be many times faster than others. No wonder you reached the twenty-fourth level of Qi Refining in such a short time; others can't achieve that in several years," Ye Feidie replied, regaining her senses, overjoyed. She still exhorted Hua Min'er, but her demands were no longer as strict. After all, Hua Min'er was destined for rapid cultivation progress even with minimal effort.

"Mm, I understand, Master," Hua Min'er replied casually, her eyes occasionally glancing at Ling Tian. She then added, "Master, is there anything else? Can I wander around Qingyun Peak freely?"

"Mm, of course, you can do whatever you want from now on. I'll chat with a few peak masters and help you get some things, hehe." Ye Feidie answered casually. She had originally been worried about how to ask the Sect Master for things, but with Hua Min'er's constitution, she no longer had to fret. She figured Green Cloud Master would probably give them to her proactively, which made Ye Feidie even happier.

"Really, anything is fine?" Hua Min'er looked at Ye Feidie, then at Ling Tian, overjoyed.

"Mm-hmm, go ahead." Ye Feidie was very happy and became more indulgent with Hua Min'er.

"Thank you, Master. I'm going then." With that, Hua Min'er skipped and ran towards Ling Tian. Ye Feidie, meanwhile, went off to chat with the other peak masters.
