Chapter 205: Inner Sect Disciple Selection

The originally sentimental farewell ended up losing its flavor…

Elder Cao Mu retrieved a wooden boat from his Storage Pouch; this Magical Artifact was fast and convenient for travel…

The wooden boat transformed into a streak of light, flying toward the east, drifting further and further away…

The Dragon Family members sighed with emotion…

"Xiao Fan is a good child…" Ancestor Long Zizai's face wore a gratified smile as his figure soared into the air, returning to his private courtyard.

"Indeed, the child Xiao Fan is truly excellent."

"However, why did Long Caiwei go along with him?"

"I hope Long Caiwei doesn't cause any trouble at the Jixian Sect."

"…"

The various Elders of the Dragon Family, along with Long Anhai, held the same opinion of Xiao Fan.

He was loyal and righteous. Although the incident in Jingchuan City originated from Xiao Fan, as a son-in-law, he was strictly speaking not a member of the Dragon Family. It would have been normal for him to choose to cling to life and not return.

Yet in the end, Xiao Fan still chose to return!

Long Miaoyin gazed toward the east, lost in thought…

Who knows what she was thinking about…

The wooden boat traveled at an extreme speed, moving through the Void Realm.

Its speed even surpassed that of experts in the Tongtian Realm.

On the wooden boat, Elder Cao Mu, Warrior Feng, and the other Elders were no different from usual; they were either gazing into the distance or sitting cross-legged in meditation…

However, they all wore subtle smiles, with Jiang Yushan's smile being the most prominent.

Xiao Fan was also closing his eyes to recover. After boarding the wooden boat, Kong Ping and Jiang Yushan had given him many Medicinal Pills.

And the person who wouldn't settle down at all was Long Caiwei…

"Senior Kong, if you won't let me call you Master, then what should I call you…"

"Is the Jixian Sect big? Will I get lost when I get there?"

"Senior Kong, is the food at the Jixian Sect good?"

"Senior Kong, why are you ignoring me…"

"…"

When the wooden boat first departed, Long Caiwei had looked around, her attitude relatively reserved.

But after a short while, she couldn't stand it anymore.

And Xiao Fan was still closing his eyes to heal, so she didn't want to disturb her brother-in-law's recovery.

After all, she was also about to join the Jixian Sect, and they would have plenty of time to spend together later.

So, she began to pester Kong Ping…

At first, it was fine, and Kong Ping would answer everything she asked, but later on…

Kong Ping's entire face turned black…

Long Caiwei's mouth never stopped.

Finally, after two more hours, Kong Ping couldn't take it anymore.

"Enough… Be quiet for a moment. Or else I'll send you back to Jingchuan City!"

Warrior Feng and the others almost laughed out loud, thinking… this girl's mouth is just too wordy; she hasn't repeated a single thing she's said for several hours.

Jiang Yushan nodded slightly, looking at Long Caiwei not with disdain, but with an expression of great appreciation.

Finally, this threat was very effective for Long Caiwei.

She obediently shut her mouth…

The wooden boat was very fast. Throughout the whole day, Xiao Fan was awake for less than a quarter of an hour; the rest of the time he was sitting in meditation to regulate his Qi, and his injuries were recovering at an extremely fast speed…

Even the Elders of the Jixian Sect looked at each other in dismay…

They couldn't understand where Xiao Fan got such a monstrous recovery ability!

For a normal Cultivator, if they had suffered such heavy injuries, it would be impossible to recover without months of recuperation.

Yet, Xiao Fan had managed to recover nearly half in just over a day.

A day passed quietly…

Jixian Sect, Outer Sect.

At this time, whether it was the Arena area, the Internal Affairs Pavilion, or the Wanbao Tower, there was an endless stream of people, a sea of humanity.

There was only one day left until the Jixian Sect Inner Sect Disciple selection.

All the Outer Sect Disciples participating in the selection this year were heading to the Internal Affairs Pavilion to register.

Those going to the Arena were doing so to spar with each other and improve their combat experience.

And those heading to the Wanbao Tower were purchasing Magical Artifacts and Medicinal Pills…

All of this was to prepare for the Inner Sect Disciple selection.

One must know that every year, the Inner Sect Disciple selection was the most important event in the Jixian Sect's Outer Sect.

The Prodigies of the Outer Sect from previous years would all sign up.

Although there was only a one-character difference between an Outer Sect Disciple and an Inner Sect Disciple, the gap between them was immense.

After becoming a Utility Disciple, one could still rely on other opportunities to be promoted to an Outer Sect Disciple.

But for an Outer Sect Disciple to become an Inner Sect Disciple, the only path was the Inner Sect Disciple selection…

Of course, except for extremely special circumstances, but such opportunities were very slim for them.

In front of the Internal Affairs Pavilion.

"Today is the last day to register; after today, there won't be any more chances."

A Deacon was shouting loudly…

Beside him were four other people also wearing Deacon uniforms, registering the information of those participating in the assessment.

It was common for Cultivators to go into seclusion for months at a time, and in the past, it had often happened that Disciples missed the Inner Sect assessment because of it.

However, those were only a very small minority…

And the Disciples who could go into seclusion were all Prodigies of the Outer Sect.

In front of this Deacon stood a long line… it was packed with people.

Among them, a cold and beautiful woman attracted the gaze of many surrounding male Disciples.

This woman was expressionless, her demeanor cold and detached, her exquisite features appearing to be the work of a master craftsman…

This person was none other than Nangong Lingxuan.

She was also going to participate in this Inner Sect Disciple selection.

As for this batch of Outer Sect Disciples, besides her, there were also Shan Yanghui and a host of other Prodigies…

All of them wanted to try their luck.

Xiao Fan was nowhere to be found. Except for Zhu Gang, no one knew where he had gone, and Zhu Gang had not revealed anything about Xiao Fan.

Chen Feixing did not come…

Within the crowd, there was also a woman with a hot figure. Although she was stunningly beautiful, no one around dared to sneak a peek at her…

This woman was an expert in the Tongtian Realm; she was none other than Hu Rui, whom Xiao Fan had met briefly in the Scripture Pavilion.

There was even another man in the crowd whom Xiao Fan had seen on the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion…

Experts were everywhere; until this day arrived, no one knew exactly how many Prodigies were in the Outer Sect.

Among them, there were dozens who had reached the Tongtian Realm…

And every year, there were only three hundred spots for the Inner Sect Disciple selection.

Time passed bit by bit, and the long, crowded line was constantly shrinking…

But even after dusk, Xiao Fan's figure was still nowhere to be seen…
