Lu Li was enraged. She accused him of staying in the middle of the path? There were so many roads here so why wouldn’t they choose a different one? Why would they try to bump into him and wanted to whip him?
Lu Li was disgusted by the lady’s bad temper regardless of her pretty looks. In addition to this lady, the seven ladies behind her were also staring at Lu Li with contempt.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
A team of warriors hurried over from the city gate. They dropped to one knee in front of the yellow-dressed young lady and said, “Nice to meet you, Lady Dan, my ladies.”
“Lady Dan?”
Lu Li kept a straight face. This Lady Dan must be from some big families in Chamber of Relics. The others must also be young ladies from prominent households of Chamber of Relics as well.
The warriors finished their rituals and their leader threw a look at Lu Li and asked, “Lady Dan, do you need us to drive him away?”
“Forget it!”
Since Lu Li did not talk back, Lady Dan waved his hand and said, “Let’s go into the city. This is some bad luck!”
Lady Dan whooshed on with the team of girls. The warriors glared at Lu Li and then hurried back to the gate.
Lu Li felt bothered. The warriors must have noticed him. If he wanted to join the Chamber of Relics, then the level of difficulties must have raised. It was possible that he didn’t have any chance to pass the tests.
“Crap, so unfortunate!”
Lu Li clenched his fists. If he had the choice, he would leave right now and not join some Chamber of Relics.
However, being in an inferior position, he had no other options. He just walked into the crowd and sat down silently.
More people were coming. Some young and some old. They all found a spot to sit down after they arrived.
Two days later, a crowd of ten thousand gathered outside the Valley of Relics.
The gate to Valley of Relics was opened today and 10 black-robed old men walked out, along with some other warriors wearing white robes. The crowd of over a hundred was mixed with both young and old warriors. They must be disciples of the Chamber of Relics.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
The ten thousand people stood up, nervously. The annual recruitment had begun. Of the over ten thousand people here, in the end, only dozens or fewer could join Chamber of Relics. It was not surprising that people would be in tension.
“Hello, everyone. I am Tian Haiqiang, a patriarch of the Chamber of Relics. You can call me Patriarch Tian!”
An old man with majestic looks made a hush gesture and let everyone quiet down. He looked around and said, “The annual Chamber of Relics recruitment has thus commenced. I will not waste time on chit chat. I just want to reiterate that everything will be done according to the rules of the Chamber of Relics. Anyone up to monkey business will be punished according to the rules.”
“You all know that the focus at Chamber of Relics is forging artifacts. Therefore, the study of Inhibition Formations and the talents in this regard are considered crucial. There will be two rounds of tests coming. Anyone that can pass the two rounds of tests will have the right to come into Valley of Relics for the final test. The ones that pass the final test will be registered disciples and earn the chance to learn to forge artifacts!”
Patriarch Tian gave a long statement before he announced, “Now, the first round of tests will begin. Later, we will set up a formation of illusion that will affect you all. The ones that can walk out in two hours will pass the test!”
“Formation of illusion?”
Lu Li was delighted. The Bloodvine was skilled in solving formations. The first round of tests would not be the most difficult one. He would definitely pass in two hours.
“No. I have to get out as soon as I can!”
Lu Li remembered that two days ago, he provoked that Lady Dan and several warriors disliked him for that. He must perform with excellence to make sure that he could join the Chamber of Relics.
“Blood Fairy, we will be trapped in a formation of illusion. You must crack the formation at once and help me get out!”
Lu Li communicated with Blood Fairy secretly. He took out the Wicked Bead and held it in his hand. Blood Fairy reached her tentacle into his body and then into the ground quietly.
“Okay. Activate the formation of illusion!”
Patriarch Tian waved his hand and 10 warriors in white robes rushed around. They each stepped aside and took out many formation stones along with other peculiar items to set up the formation.
“Activate~”
A moment later, one of the disciples shouted. Lu Li and the crowd were enveloped by white mist and everyone seemed to have vanished.
“Rustle, rustle, rustle~”
Some people came out from the gate. It was that Lady Dan and a group of girls. Lady Dan went to Patriarch Tian and asked with a smile, “Uncle Tian, have you found anyone talented this time?”
“Behave yourself!”
Patriarch Tian pretended to be angry. “Lady Dan, you should call me Grandpa Tian. Impolite. Careful. I may tell your grandpa.”
“Ha, ha~”
Lady Dan stuck out her tongue. She looked at the misty, grabbed her braids and said, “Patriarch Tian, let’s take a bet. If this time someone can step out within the time for one incense stick to burn, I will call you Grandpa Tian from now on. What do you say?”
“The time for one incense stick to burn?”
Patriarch Tian frowned and rolled his eyes. “This is not a fair game. Shame on you. Are there really so many talents on Inhibition Formations?”
“That is not something I should worry about!”
Lady Dan twitched her nose and said with a grin, “You may be advanced in age but you are in the same generation as my father. It is not fair that I call you grandpa. Are you going to take the bet or not?”
“Well~”
Patriarch Tian suddenly looked into the mist. A glow rose in his eyes as he said, “Sure, I will!”
“Really?”
Lady Dan was delighted. “You cannot eat your words, or I will burn your house down.”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Patriarch Tian burst into laughter. “Lady Dan, look. Someone has come out!”
Lady Dan and the others were shocked. Everyone turned to the mist. They saw a path showed up amongst the mist and a young man in a cyan robe walked out.
“Well? It’s him!”
Lady Dan pulled a long face and pouted as she recognized the white-haired young man that she almost bumped into the other day. “No, this man cannot join the Chamber of Relics. He is not qualified!”
“Not qualified?”
Lu Li was taken aback to hear Lady Dan’s words just as he stepped out from the formation of illusion.
He turned to Bloodvine for help just so that he could join Chamber of Relics. Under the guidance of Bloodvine, he stepped out from the formation of illusion within the time for half an incense stick to burn. How could he expect that he would see this unruly young lady who claimed that he could not be accepted into Chamber of Relics as soon as he came out?
Lu Li was boiling with anger. The pride within him was bursting out. Staring at Lady Dan, he said, “The famous Chamber of Relics, a super sect at southern Divinity, is treating the recruiting ritual with such carelessness. Just now, Patriarch Tian said we had to play by the rules, right? I did play by the rules. But what about the Chamber of Relics?”
Lu Li was calling Chamber of Relics unfaithful. He had practically shamed Lady Dan in public, assuming her of bending the rule for her personal gains, which had made Chamber of Relics lose credibility.
Lady Dan could understand what Lu Li was implying. She glared at him and said, “Who the hell do you think you are? How can you dare to be so bold? Are you courting death?”
“Enough!”
Patriarch Tian shouted. “Take Lady Dan back. There are rules at Chamber of Relics. I am the one making the calls during this recruitment. Lady Dan, if you continue to make a scene, I will report to the Chief to have you punished!”
“Fine, okay~”
Lady Dan burst into tears. She threw one last glare at Lu Li and hurried back to the Valley of Relics with the team of girls.
Patriarch Tian calmed down and said to Lu Li gently, “Young man, of course, we will obey the rules at Chamber of Relics. You have done well and passed the first test.”
Patriarch Tian was reasonable and kind. However, Lu Li could see that many disciples of Chamber of Relics were not friendly, not to mention that unruly Lady Dan. He began to have second thoughts.
Judging by the looks of it, even if he could join Chamber of Relics, Lu Li knew he would not have any comfortable days. Should he jump into the pit of hell or not?
