Just like that, the two held hands and continued to share personal thoughts for a while, then Qingqing voluntarily headed towards Wuyou Valley.
Chu Xuan followed her from a distance, and soon, they arrived at the entrance of the valley.
The place was also bustling with crowds, many cultivators couldn’t get in at all, they were purely there for the excitent.
This excitent was divided into two kinds:
One was to watch guests from all directions entering the valley. After all, female cultivators who received invitations were mostly powerful and beautiful fairies in the cultivation world. Everyone loves beauty, and the rare sight of a large group of female cultivators simultaneously appearing naturally attracted a lot of attention from cultivators.
Although the majority were male, there were also quite a few females, mostly feeling envious but temporarily unable to enter the valley.
At this stage, they could only co to experience this grand occasion, dreaming of one day entering Baihua Valley, enjoying the flowers, discussing Dao with high-level cultivators, and engaging in elegant conversations and laughter.
The other kind of excitent was watching all sorts of overly ambitious cultivators, who tried everything they could to squeeze in.
If soone actually succeeded, it would naturally draw a chorus of admiration and praise; if they fussed for a long ti only to be shafully turned away, it would bring about a burst of laughter from the crowd, along with so teasing remarks.
At the valley entrance, beneath the archway of Wuyou Valley’s mountain gate, a beautiful female cultivator in light green clothing was leading a group of disciples, responsible for welcoming guests and managing the valley entry assessnts.
Wanting to enter was simple, just show the invitation, Wuyou Valley had its own ans to verify authenticity, ensuring the person and the invitation matched, before welcoming the guests inside.
What if you didn’t have an invitation? You could still enter, since Baihua Banquet had always promoted an open and encouraging reputation, anyone self-proclaid qualified could co to discuss Dao.
But apart from the invitees, others wanting to enter faced a hard requirent:
1. Strength, starting from the third realm, and proving oneself to be among the top geniuses in the sa realm.
This required being under fifty years old, and passing three assessnts: striking the Firmant Stone, testing one’s Dao Heart, to gain entry.
2. Realm, a strict rule of at least the sixth realm, allowing entry without any assessnt.
3. Connections, aning a female cultivator with an invitation could bring any Daoist friend unconditionally, so cultivators with connections could easily enter.
4. Origin, such as elders or supre elders of major sects; or sect leaders, supre leaders’ direct disciples; middle and small sects require the presence of the sect leader to participate.
Finally, regardless of your cultivation level or origin, since Baihua Banquet is ultimately for discussing Dao, if you can set up a stage to preach on-site, enchanting everyone with your eloquence, you could also enter.
However, cultivators with such abilities likely fulfilled the first four conditions anyway.
Along the way, Chu Xuan heard various discussions, and Wuyou Valley directly displayed their thresholds outside the mountain gate, so he felt relieved after seeing them.
Sure enough, earlier on the road, that lass Gu Haitang was deliberately scaring him, Chu Xuan didn’t need her invitation at all to enter.
Qingqing didn’t imdiately enter, instead first observed among the crowd.
Sure enough, the four Demon Sect Hidden Guards were guarding the vicinity, upon seeing their lady appear, they discreetly nodded at her and didn’t act rashly.
Qingqing completely ignored them, seeing the guests ahead entering the valley, she erged alone from the crowd, walking towards the archway of the mountain gate.
This scene left onlookers visibly surprised, was she really alone?
Seeing this female cultivator’s deanor, appearance, figure, and that cold indifferent attitude, everyone naturally believed she should have an invitation.
But to not waste a spot, most female cultivators attending would bring a companion, mostly won, but so brought male Daoist friends, thus appearing in pairs.
Seeing Qingqing going alone at this mont, many wanted to ask: Miss, can you take with you?
Of course, they only dared think about it, as female cultivators who received invitations were either highly skilled, exceptionally talented, or nobly born, far beyond the reach of these lower-level cultivators.
The green-clad Wuyou Valley female cultivator nad Ye Shiyu saw Qingqing approach, smiled and nodded, saying:
"Welco, Dao friend, may I see your invitation?"
Qingqing shook her head, "I don’t have one."
This response left not only Ye Shiyu surprised but also puzzled the onlookers.
Qingqing stepped closer, whispered sothing, and extended her right hand.
Ye Shiyu subtly held the other party’s wrist, revealing a look of surprise.
She imdiately collected her expression, smiled, and said, "Please wait a mont, Dao friend, I need to report this to the sect."
With that, she sent a ssaging talisman into the valley.
Soon, the higher-ups sent back a reply, only then did Ye Shiyu make an inviting gesture, having a young disciple lead Qingqing into the valley.
Seeing this, the crowd naturally speculated, who exactly was this woman? To require reporting.
Chu Xuan was not surprised, in fact, with Qingqing’s rare Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, entering the valley was easy, rather her origin was slightly intimidating.
Due to a prior agreent with her, Chu Xuan didn’t imdiately follow her inside, planning to wait for a while instead.
At that mont, he noticed a brawny male cultivator in the crowd, staring intently at him.
When their eyes t, the cultivator squeezed through, warmly saying, "Brother, I didn’t expect you to join the excitent as well."
