"Thank you, Master!"
The group exchanged glances and then said in unison.
"Alright, off you go!"
"Okay."
The four nodded. Then Yuan Liuer and Bai Susu flew away on their flying swords, while Hu Ke'er boarded Chen Tianyi's flying sword and left with him.
"Old drunkard, I didn't expect you to care so much about these little brats!"
"Humph, aren't you the same? Otherwise, why would you be here?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Get me some wine."
"... You're trying to swindle my wine again? You still haven't returned the Zhuyeqing from thirty years ago!"
"You still remember after all these years?"
...
"By the way, Senior Brother, I forgot to ask. Where is the location of our inner - sect test?" Hu Ke'er asked softly.
"I'm not sure about that either."
"Huh?"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er frowned.
"Senior Brother Chen, haven't you participated in the inner - sect test several times? How come you don't even know the location of the test?" Hu Ke'er asked in confusion.
"I really don't know. Because the location of the inner - sect test is always random, and so are the tasks. So I can't be certain about this." Chen Tianyi replied softly after hearing Hu Ke'er's words.
"Huh?"
Hu Ke'er frowned slightly.
"Could it be that we first go to a place and then get teleported there?"
"Yes. As far as I know, it's a random teleportation." Yuan Liuer, who was flying beside them, heard the conversation and said softly.
"Random teleportation? Will we still be able to be teleported together?" Hu Ke'er asked in confusion.
"No."
"Ah?!"
Hu Ke'er was momentarily stunned and then opened her eyes wide.
"Then wouldn't it be meaningless to form a team?"
"It depends on luck. If someone can reunite with their teammates first, they'll have a considerable advantage."
"Uh..."
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er pouted and then quickly called out to the others.
"Senior Sister Bai Susu, Senior Sister Liuer, Senior Brother Chen, how about we distribute the weapons first before going to the teleportation point? Otherwise, someone might be eliminated before we even have the chance to distribute the weapons after being teleported. We should adjust ourselves to the best state before the teleportation."
"Alright then."
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, the flying swords they were controlling hovered in the air.
"I have weapons made by the blacksmith boy. I'll give them to you. You should all know how to use them, right?"
As Hu Ke'er spoke, she distributed the flintlock guns and spiritual grenades she had taken from the blacksmith shop to the others. She held the only RPG in her own hand.
"Yeah, we know."
They had all seen Hu Ke'er use these weapons before. The operation was simple and there was nothing difficult about it.
"By the way, Little Junior Sister, when you mentioned this, I remembered that the little blacksmith asked me to give you something." Chen Tianyi said as he took out a huge object from his storage bag.
"This is—"
Hu Ke'er was stunned for a moment when she saw the machine in front of her.
"Great! I didn't expect the blacksmith boy to be so efficient. He's already made the spiritual motorcycle so quickly!" Hu Ke'er said with a slight upturn of her lips, then put the spiritual motorcycle into her storage bag.
"Take this flying sword with you." Bai Susu said as she handed a red flying sword to Hu Ke'er.
"Well, Senior Sister Bai, you'd better give this flying sword to Senior Sister Yuan Liuer. Her combat power is weaker. I already have the Qianji Umbrella."
"Okay."
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Bai Susu nodded and then gave the flying sword to Yuan Liuer.
"For me? Really?"
"It's okay. You gave us so many pills before. This is the protection you deserve." Bai Susu said softly.
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Yuan Liuer thanked softly and then looked at Hu Ke'er.
"I've already given pills to the other two before. This is your pill, Junior Sister Ke'er."
"Okay."
Hu Ke'er smiled and took the pill.
"Alright, take these talismans. There are Indestructible Talismans, Swiftness Talismans, Five - Element Talismans and so on. If you encounter danger, just infuse spiritual energy and you can use them." Chen Tianyi said as he distributed the talismans he had prepared in advance to the three of them.
"Alright, that's it!"
"Okay!"
After the group had distributed the equipment, they quickly flew towards the sea of clouds. Soon, their flying swords pierced through the sea of clouds and soared upwards, finally landing on a mountain peak.
"Where is this?" Hu Ke'er asked in confusion after landing.
"This is Tianlong Peak. The teleportation point for the inner - sect test is on the large platform ahead." Chen Tianyi said softly as he pointed to the platform not far away.
"Wow, there are so many people!"
Seeing the crowds on the platform in the distance, Hu Ke'er couldn't help but exclaim.
"Are they all here to take the inner - sect test?"
"Most likely." Chen Tianyi nodded.
"After all, the threshold for the inner - sect test is relatively low. As long as you're an outer - sect disciple, you can participate. And once you pass the inner - sect test, the resources you'll obtain will be dozens of times that of an outer - sect disciple. The cultivation environment is simply worlds apart. That's why even though there are casualties in the inner - sect test every year, more and more junior brothers and sisters are still flocking to it. In addition, any adventures or spiritual treasures obtained during the inner - sect test belong to the person who gets them."
"I see..."
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er nodded.
"Stop talking. The inner - sect test is about to start. Let's go!" Yuan Liuer interrupted their conversation and then pulled Hu Ke'er into the crowd.
"Isn't that the sect - master junior uncle?"
Hu Ke'er's eyes passed through the bustling crowd and saw the familiar young man.
"Alright, the content of this inner - sect test is very simple. It's to find the ethereal grass in the floating secret realm. The more and better the ethereal grass you obtain, the more points you'll get. The top thirty people with the highest scores will gain the qualification to become inner - sect disciples."
"Thirty people?!"
Hearing the sect - master junior uncle's words, Hu Ke'er was stunned. There were at least a thousand junior brothers and sisters densely packed on this platform. The elimination rate was quite high.
"Please note that there are many monsters in the floating secret realm. Be sure to be more careful. The time for this test is one week after the teleportation gate opens. Disciples who are ready can enter."
After the sect - master junior uncle finished speaking, he gently waved his sleeve. Then a blue light surged and a huge teleportation gate appeared in front of everyone.
"So amazing!"
This teleportation gate was dozens of times larger than the one made by the jade talisman before. Hu Ke'er couldn't help but exclaim. However, while Hu Ke'er was exclaiming, a large number of disciples had already rushed in on their flying swords.
"Little Junior Sister Ke'er, stop daydreaming. Let's go!"
Before Hu Ke'er could react, Yuan Liuer pulled her and followed Chen Tianyi and Bai Susu into the teleportation gate. The inner - sect test had officially begun!
