"Patriarch Xiao has successfully broken through to the Core Formation!"
"Tsk tsk, look at the quality of that Core Formation; it seems to be a middle-grade Golden Core... There’s still a hope for promoting to Nascent Soul."
Lin Chen’s heart moved slightly, and his figure flickered, disappearing from the spot.
At this mont, in the Guangyuan Town Marketplace, dozens of cultivators from various forces were rushing toward the auction hall.
They harbored the sa idea as Lin Chen, wanting to see if Patriarch Xiao had successfully broken through.
Monts later, led by Chairman Liu, Patriarch Xiao walked out of the auction hall.
At this mont, he was exuberant, with a full smile on his face.
His Divine Sense scattered like a tide, sensing those cultivators hiding in the shadows observing.
"Haha, fellow Daoists! Today, Xiao has successfully ford his core, and soon I will host a Core Formation celebration feast in Yanlai City. If you have ti, you’re welco to join for a drink."
"However, today I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first."
With that said, Patriarch Xiao transford into an Escape Light and vanished from the spot.
Simultaneously, those cultivators hiding in the shadows beca abuzz.
"He travels with Escape Light; that Xiao really broke through to Core Formation!"
"Damn it, why wasn’t it who broke through to Core Formation? If I had invested a bit more Spirit Stones back then, it might have been ..."
"The Xiao Family is truly about to soar to great heights!"
Leaping from a Foundation Establishnt Clan to a Core Formation Clan is a giant transformation.
A Core Formation Cultivator is worth more than dozens of Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
At this mont, the cultivators observing secretly all had one thought.
In the future, there would no longer be the scene of the Four Great Clans standing together.
The Xiao Family will completely rise and leap to beco a major force equaling the Royal Family of Yanlai Country, second only to the Changchun Sect.
The Royal Family hiding in the shadows was also shocked.
"That old guy actually broke through to Golden Core, no way... I must quickly return to inform the Ancestor..."
A newly erged Golden Core is already enough to change the landscape of Yanlai City.
Patriarch Xiao’s breakthrough is undoubtedly a strong catalyst, deeply impacting the forces within the Yanlai Realm.
In an instant, countless cultivators rose with Sword Control, flying toward all directions.
Their sole purpose was to return to their clans quickly, gather funds, and prepare for the next auction.
At this mont, Chairman Liu couldn’t stop smiling.
The Xiao Family breaking through to Core Formation was undoubtedly excellent promotion for their auction.
Seeing Lin Chen, Chairman Liu hurried forward with joy.
"Senior, this ti the fa of the Golden Yuan Pill is fully established! Haha, I’m planning to set up a few tables for a celebration feast; would Senior like to join?"
Lin Chen knew that Chairman Liu’s talk of a celebration feast was false.
It was really an attempt to strengthen his relationship, fearing that Lin Chen would cut off the supply of Golden Yuan Pills.
But Lin Chen had other matters to attend to now, so he shook his head and said:
"There’s no need for a celebration feast; I have other matters to attend to. I’ll leave now. I will deliver the Golden Yuan Pills again at the next auction."
Though Chairman Liu felt a little regretful after hearing this, he nodded in agreent.
...
After the Guangyuan Auction ended, Lin Chen returned to Changchun Mountain, resud his original identity, and peacefully cultivated for a few days.
On this day, Lin Chen received a ssage from his master, summoning him to Pill Peak for a discussion.
Rushing to Pill Peak, Han Jihai was preparing to start alchemy in the Alchemy Room.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, he didn’t rush to start alchemy but instead asked:
"Chen, how many years have you been on the mountain?"
Lin Chen replied without hesitation: "Master, this is the seventh year."
Han Jihai nodded in response:
"Indeed, ti flies, it’s been seven years already!"
"I rember when you first ca to the mountain you were still a minor, filled with youthful innocence... now you’re almost a Core Formation Great Cultivator."
Lin Chen also felt so emotions while wondering why his master was asking these questions.
At this mont, Han Jihai said:
"Chen, our new Sect examination is about to begin."
"The last Sect examination coincided with the war against the Demon Path, so it wasn’t held..."
"This ti, it’s been six years, and I believe the Yanlai Realm has again produced many good seedlings."
"According to the Changchun Sect rules, each of the Five Peaks must choose a representative to participate as an Assessnt Elder."
"Last ti, during your examination, I personally went."
With these words, Han Jihai’s eyes showed so nostalgia.
He rembered Lin Chen climbing the extre cold mountain back then.
"This ti, you will represent and participate in this Sect examination. You have the qualification with your Foundation Establishnt Perfection."
"However, I’m old now, and since your senior brother left, I haven’t had the heart to take on more students... You’ll just go through the motions this ti."
"The Sect examination will begin in seven days. You shall take the Assessnt Elder token and prepare."
Lin Chen nodded in agreent:
"Yes, Master!"
Representing Pill Peak in the Sect examination is not a big deal for Pill Peak.
After all, Master has no intention of accepting more disciples.
But for the Changchun Sect, it is a major event.
The war between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Path has been going on for nearly three years.
Coupled with the Changchun Sect’s elimination of Tribulation Cultivators in past years, substantial consumption of the Sect’s lower-tier disciples is inevitable.
In the past, the Changchun Sect had thousands of inner and outer disciples.
Today, nearly half have fallen, leaving only over two thousand disciples remaining.
Although the overall strength of the disciples has more than doubled, the continuity of the Sect is ultimately lacking.
Thus, this Sect examination and recruitnt are on a large scale.
It targets mundane disciples and cultivation clan forces throughout the Yanlai Realm.
The assessnt requirents have been moderately lowered to recruit more disciples and replenish new blood.
"Hmm, the war between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect won’t end overnight."
"When this new batch of disciples grows, they’ll probably join the battlefield in the future..."
Lin Chen silently thought to himself.
