Chapter 253 Assessment Begins
When the next day arrived, Long Ming called Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian to his Solitary Flower Peak.
" Haha! Brother Long, Thanks to you, My insight into the sword intent increased with those Clear Enlightenment Pills." Ming Yuexin grinned as she hugged Long Ming's arms.
" And, I believe I would ascend to the Harmonization Realm in few days. But why did you called me here?"
" Sister Ming, You can talk to him even while not hugging him." Mu Qinglian spoke in a curt voice.
" Oh? Why is that so?" Ming Yuexin blinked as she looked at Mu Qinglian. " I believe Senior Brother likes me my body on him…"
" What?"
" Cough! Cough!"
With loud coughings, Long Ming interrupted Ming Yuexin. He was afraid Mu Qinglian might snap out and drag him for another sparring session.
" Sister Ming, You know about the recruitment of disciples, right?"
" Hmhm, I know about it. Do you need my help, Brother Long?"
" Yes."
Long Ming nodded. " As Master said, there are two places for us to do recruitment. One is Grand Sky City and another one is Holy Qilin City."
" Sister Ming, Can you take care of the recruitment in Grand Sky City?"
" Well, Why not?" Ming Yuexin nodded. " What about you, Brother Long? Are you leaving for Holy Qilin City?"
" Yes, I am leaving for Holy Qilin City and oversee the situation there."
" So, I and Senior Sister are going to the Holy Qilin City."
" Whaaa?" Ming Yuexin pouted. " I want to go with you too. We can hand this work to Lin Xie and Chen Yin, no?"
" Of course not. They don't have the experience as you, Sister Ming." Long Ming smiled.
" But I am still not satisfied." Ming Yuexin pouted. " You must compensate me."
" Haah… What sort of compensation do you want, Senior Sister?" Long Ming sighed as he looked at Ming Yuexin.
" Well, Accompany me for few days after you return." She casted a side glance to Mu Qinglian.
" Only you and me."
Mu Qinglian bit her lips as she felt the burnt of jealousy all over her skin.
' Ugh! Since when did Sister Ming become this possessive? No! I have to make my move first!' Mu Qinglian's heart was in turmoil as she thought about it.
" Ok, Alright."
Long Ming gave a short answer as he escaped from there immediately. After all, no one can tell when the gunpowder here would ignite.
As Long Ming and Mu Qinglian used a treasure boat to arrive in the Holy Qilin City swiftly, the disciples of Four Seasons Valley stationed there already set up the registration.
" Alright, The first criterion is only women can enter."
" What? This is not fair! I also want to join Four Seasons Valley!"
" Why Long Ming is the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley despite being a male?"
" This is unfair!"
Long Ming's lips curled into a devious grin when he heard the dissatisfaction of the male crowd.
" Look at you. Grinning like a demon." Mu Qinglian muttered as she stood beside him.
" What? Four Seasons Valley is a sanctuary for girls, no?" Long Ming spoke in a righteous tone.
" Oh? Then what a person like you doing there?"
" Making the sanctuary safer than other places." Long Ming replied in a serious voice.
" Or…Making your own harem?"
" Oh my, Since when I had such malicious heart, hm?"
Long Ming feigned innocence. However, his wide grin betrayed his words completely.
Suddenly, his Desolate Immortal Aura erupted as he descended from the sky, the Raging Storm Wings behind him gave his physique a heavenly impression.
" Who dares to cause a ruckus here?"
The Desolate Immortal Aura is like a sun in midnight, making everyone awe and vulnerable before Long Ming.
All the female cultivators' eyes lit up when they saw Long Ming stepping on the ground like an angel.
" Oh my! I didn't expect Young Master Long to come here personally!"
" Haha! I won the bet! I knew that Young Noble Long would appear here and not in Grand Sky City."
" Even if I don't pass the assessment, just seeing him would be rewarding enough."
Mu Qinglian's brows twitched when she heard the murmuring of the female cultivators.
' Did they come here for the disciple assessment test or to fangirl Long Ming?'
" Alright, Since everyone is here, then we shall start our assessment." Long Ming's hand clasped behind his back as he looked at them.
The disciples who were signing up the name hurried and gave the papers to Long Ming. He saw more than five hundred girls participate here.
" Eh? Not bad, Most of them are at Qi Condensation and Violet Palace Expansion Realm. Not to mention we got a few True Core Formation Realm participants." Long Ming nodded.
" Well, First, We shall conduct the test for the Qi Condensation Realm cultivators." Long Ming shouted. " Everyone gather here and form a line."
More than three hundred participants moved as they appeared before Long Ming. Suddenly, Long Ming raised his palm as four formation flags shot out, covering a wide area.
" This test shall be simple. Endure the pressure inside the formation for one hour and you shall pass the test."
Using four flags of the River Suppressing Eight Flags, Long Ming used a few thousand high grade spirit stones to set an array formation.
As he used the spirit stones as a power source, he didn't need to constantly supply it with his own energy and he could freely control it using his Divine Sense.
With a snap of his finger, the four formation flags buzzed with a gentle radiance as it created a light dome around all the disciples.
Suddenly, the participants felt the gravity around them increasing, and the true qi becoming heavier. They felt the flow of the true qi inside them slowed, making them feel suffocated.
" Those who feel they can't persist, just raise your hand and we shall take you out." Long Ming spoke in a calm voice.
" A very simple and straightforward method you chose." Mu Qinglian couldn't help but give a remark.
" This is nothing, I am just seeing who has better endurance here. Not to mention, I believe we should focus on these Qi Condensation Realm."
" Why so?"
" Because most of them come from humble backgrounds and low cultivation. As long as we make them depend on our sect, we will have a good amount of loyal disciples under our disposal." Long Ming spoke in a calm voice.
" Hmm, Indeed. Rather than just going after quantity, we also check their mindset too." Mu Qinglian agreed with Long Ming's view.
" Well meanwhile, Call those who are at True Core Formation Realm. I have prepared a little interview for them." Long Ming smiled as he looked at Mu Qinglian.
" You just want to kill your time while these guys are undergoing the test, right?" Mu Qinglian rolled her eyes.
" How smart you are, Senior Sister. I am so envious of your smartness." Long Ming grinned. " Now, If you please, You can fetch them here."
