Chapter 9 - Examination Begins

Lin Chuxuan was known as one of the best disciples of the Buddha Benevolent Sect.

She joined the Buddha Benevolent Sect at the age of 12, ascended to the rank of an inner disciple at 15, and achieved the status of a core disciple at 16.

After her promotion to a core disciple, she swiftly advanced to the position of an elder, serving the Buddha Benevolent Sect diligently until her current age of 25.

"Oh, look! It is Elder Lin. Wasn't she meant to be an elder of the core disciple court? Why has she graced us with her presence in the outer court?" With the arrival of Lin Chuxuan, the male disciples were left awestruck, their mouths agape, and some even succumbed to the temptation, unable to contain their drooling."

With an enchanting smile, Lin Chuxuan addressed the outer court disciples in a manner that didn't match her elder status. She explained, "The rules for the examination are quite straightforward. Your task is to venture into the Dragonspine Mountain Range and hunt down beasts ranging from the initial stage to the intermediate stage. Bring back the core of the beast within 1 hour, with that, you will pass"

"Please take note to not enter the borders beyond the Dragonspine Mountain Range as there are beasts that are from Advanced Beast to Peak Beast." Lin Chuxuan commanded.

It requires a disciple at the Qi Cultivation Low Stage to successfully hunt a low-level Initial Beast. Therefore, an intermediate-level beast would pose a challenge even to a Foundation Establishment stage disciple.

""The first person to pass will be rewarded with an Advanced Grade martial skill, a precious treasure not easily obtained even in the inner court," Lin Chuxuan explained.

"However, that's not all. There is something even more enticing than the martial skill." Her alluring smile captivated everyone's attention.

"Could it be that Elder Lin Chuxuan is offering her body?" Some of the disciples were shameless and even had lewd thoughts.

"Shh, lower your voice. Haven't you heard about the core disciple who dared to pursue Elder Lin's affections and ended up with his cultivation crippled? And let's not forget, Elder Lin Chuxuan is a widow and has a three-year-old son," the whispered rumors spread among the disciples.

Lin Chuxuan heard about the words of the outer disciple, but didn't mind it at all. She charmingly smiled and said "Three Azure Essence Grass."

"What? I didn't hear that wrong, right? Three Azure Essence Grass?!"

The Azure Essence Grass held immense value within the Buddha Benevolent Sect, making it a coveted resource even among the core disciples. Securing this precious herb was no easy feat, as it was typically reserved for those who accomplished exceptional missions or achieved remarkable rankings in competitions.

Only the most skilled and deserving cultivators were granted the opportunity to obtain the Azure Essence Grass, which further emphasized its significance as a rare and highly sought-after treasure within the sect.

To ordinary people, finding this Azure Essence Grass is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The sight of the Buddha Benevolent Sect bringing forth three Azure Essence Grass for the outer court disciple competition proved immensely tempting to numerous disciples, resulting in a commotion among them..

However, most of them knew that it was impossible for them to get the first place as there were many geniuses that were trying in the outer court disciple competition this year.

Expressing contentment with the reaction of the outer court disciple, Lin Chuxuan nodded approvingly.

With a graceful wave of her hand, a thunderous rumble resonated from behind her. The colossal gate, towering at a height of several dozen feet, swung open.

"What are you guys waiting for? You all do not want to pass the examination? Remember to come back within an hour~" Lin Chuxuan smiled charmingly and questioned the outer court disciples.

"GOOOO!!" Many disciples rushed at the entrance, and Lian Chen was following their flow.
