Although Ye Rushang had took first in both assessment, her reputation plummeted when people heard about the life and death challenge with Yang Chu.
They insulted her for her foolishness, didn't he know that Yang Shu was Yang Jiangyu second brother.
"He's just directly courting death for himself..."
Now was the time they were picking the disciples to enter, the outer mountain, the inner mountain and the purple mountain, it was everyone's dream to enter the purple mountain although they could try out once a month.
"Nalan Hexi...rank 55th, disciple of the purple mountain..."
Nalan Hexi nodded and went to the right side.
"Shen Dazhaung...rank 53rd, disciple of purple mountain.
"Ye Bai...rank 48th...purple mountain...."
Wait what....
This Ye bai didn't even have a spirit root, why were they giving him a spot in purple mountain, when he didn't fully fill the criteria.
As each and everyone who passed the passed the assessment their scores were shown and people finally knew she did not have a spirit root.
"Ye Bai doesn't belong in purple mountain, he doesn't have a spirit root..."
"That's injustice..I have a spirit root why didn't they put me in purple mountain.."
"Ye Bai...is not a genius anyone can pass the intellectual test..."
The purple mountain elder face darkened, the masses weren't favorable towards Ye bai.
The outer mountain elder stepped forward calmly, since they didn't want him then he'll take him.
"Ye Bai you still have a spot in the inner mountain..."
Ye Rushang smiled slightly this was what she was waiting for, the purple mountain didn't have eternal frost, why would she go there if it was not beneficial to her.
"Okay...."
Ye Rushang answered slowly as she stared at the crowd unfazed.
What!!!
They were chasing her away yet this elder was snatching him away like he was a life saving jade.
"Then it is settled..Ye bai is now a disciple of the inner mountain.."
Elder Huang said happily, he was the biggest winner in this assessment.
"Wait!!! How can you all say Ye Bai doesn't have a spirit root when I saw she had a spirit root.."
The fourth elder spoke as he walked into the crowd.
"Fourth elder is what you said true..."
The purple mountain elder smiled the fourth elder really did say he was a blueish light that day.
"Let us check our selves.."
All cultivators had a special way of access their spirit root, just wave their left palm over the right one channeling spiritual Qi into and the color of the spirit root would appear.
The elders turned and looked at Ye Rushang signaling her to check her spirit root, which she did slowly.
Waving a palm over her right hand, a faint blue color appeared.
The crowd fell silent as those who were continuously opposing Ye Rushang wanted to hid themselves in shame.
This...the purple mountain elder was dumbfounded, if he had known he would have taken a stand with Ye Bai, now this genius would have been in the purple mountain like other geniuses.
"Ye Bai the purple mountain is always opened..."
The purple mountain elder tried convincing Ye Rushang but stopped when he saw her raise a hand.
"I rather stay in the inner mountain thank you..."
Elder Huang smiled as he looked at Ye Rushang, he knew his judgement never failed.
"Elder brother Ye I'll see you soon, you mustn't play with any girl while I'm gone..."
Nalan Hexi pouted as she held Ye Rushang's arms, just directly publicizing their relationship, even though there was nothing going on between them.
"I can't guarantee...."
Ye Rushang withdraw her arm as she petted Nalan Hexi head, she held her usual casual smile.
Jia Li and Bai Junfeng, walked towards Ye Rushang and stood beside her on both sides.
"Go on...we'll have opportunities to see each other later..."
Nalan Xi nodded and ran off with Shen Dazhaung, who nodded casually at Ye Rushang.
Two years...that was the amount of time she was willing to stay in this sect, and during this period she would repay all her enemies.
"Ye Bai...you did well in all the assessment, shame the other disciples don't see that..."
Elder Huang smiled, as he lead Ye Rushang and some other inner mountain disciples into the array.
Ye Rushang smiled slightly, she didn't care about either of the mountains, what she need was the eternal frost at the top of the mountain.
"Elder...could you tell me more about the inner mountain.."
Elder Huang nodded and briefed the entire inner mountain to Ye Rushang.
"There's not much difference from the purple mountain, we have a gravity chamber. Something the purple mountain don't have, we also have eternal frost, a powerful item used in cultivation, not to mention our fully equipped library...."
The more elder Huang said, the more Ye Rushang felt the purple mountain was just a place were the geniuses just gathered.
"Is the eternal frost open to all the disciples....."
Ye Rushang asked even if it wasn't opened to disciples, she had her ways of getting it.
"Not exactly...a bottle of eternal frost is given to the elite disciples of the inner mountain, once every three months..."
One bottle for three mouths..weren't they just stingy to the bone.
"But since you're a newcomer, you're still an elementary disciples. So you won't get one unless you participate in the monthly challenge.."
The monthly challenge was basically, a way to move faster in ranks.
Ye Rushang knew very well, the risk and the benefits of this monthly challenge, it took her three months to pass each monthly challenge.
Ye Rushang smiled bitterly..her past self had suffered too much, to the point were she passed out from exhaustion, just to protect herself for the evil surrounding her.
Getting to heavenly paragon with a crazy lunatic breathing down your neck and a poison in your body.
She was destined to die anyways.
"Every month Huh!...then I look forward to it.."
