In the luxurious box on the third floor of the cabin.
Deputy Temple Master Jiang took out a bottle of spiritual wine, filled it for Lin Fan across from him, and said: "Don't look at the ordinary packaging of this spiritual wine, this is the 'Purple Flower Brewing' that I have collected for fifty years. Take it out and sell it.
Don’t ask for a bottle of three hundred spiritual stones.”
"It cost Deputy Guanzhu Jiang a lot of money." Lin Fan was not polite, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"It is sweet in the mouth and leaves a fragrant aroma in the mouth. After entering the stomach, it is divided into several strands of pure spiritual energy, which nourishes and strengthens one's cultivation. It is indeed a high-quality spiritual wine!"
"I didn't expect that you, a young man, actually know how to appreciate fine wine." Deputy Temple Master Jiang said, then changed the subject: "I've drank this wine, it's time to talk about business."
"According to the agreement, you can ensure that Yue'er passes this trial safely, and you can make a request to me. You can say it now."
"Disciple, I haven't thought about it yet. I wonder if I can mention it in the future?"
"no problem."
As Deputy Temple Master Jiang said, he took off the jade medal that competed for his identity from his waist, put it on the table and said: "You don't need to think of me as the Deputy Temple Master from now on. What I want to say is as a father.
I want to tell you."
After hearing this, Lin Fan already knew what the other party was going to say next, but he still listened calmly.
"There were rumors before that Yue'er fell in love with an unknown disciple. When I first heard about it, I thought it was a rumor."
"Yue'er has been bad at hiding her emotions since she was a child. Her emotions are all written on her face. She has deliberately hidden it today, but how could she hide it from my father's eyes."
"When I saw the way Yue'er looked at you, I understood everything."
"Speaking of which, you are quite talented in both talismans and spells. You are considered a talent, and you are a good match for Yue'er."
"It's just a pity that Yue'er made an engagement a few years ago, and I can't change it."
"However, if Yue'er's fiancé dies unexpectedly, then your relationship with Yue'er is not without a chance."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing this, Lin Fan was confused!
He guessed wrong!
He originally thought that the other party would let him cut off contact with Jiang Yue, but instead of having such intention, the other party hinted that he should kill Jiang Yue's fiancé!
Only a fool who is blinded by love would agree to this kind of thing.
Putting aside the fact that he had an ordinary relationship with Jiang Yue, as long as he dared to kill Jiang Yue's fiancé, how could Deputy Temple Master Jiang keep him alive in order not to implicate herself?
As for why the other party did this and what secrets there were, he didn't bother to know.
There is a saying that says, knowing too much is sometimes not a good thing.
He immediately pretended to be stupid and said blankly: "Disciple is stupid and doesn't understand very well. However, Senior Sister Jiang and I have just a normal relationship, and I have never had any other thoughts."
"You... okay, just pretend that I didn't say anything and the matter ends here. You can go down first."
"Disciple resigns."
After Lin Fan left, Deputy Temple Master Jiang murmured to himself: "This guy is quite clever, but it's a little difficult to find a suitable candidate now."
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already two days later.
The time for the trial of the beginner disciples has come, and the huge boat parked in the sky suddenly started, carrying thousands of Qingzhu Temple disciples all the way east.
When we set out, there were nearly ten thousand people in the giant boat. Now, less than half of them have returned alive.
Among them, half did not complete the mission and just barely managed to survive.
In other words, only 20% of the people who passed this trial for entry-level disciples passed!
However, this is also within the acceptance range of the sect's senior leaders. After all, only 25% of the people in the previous years passed.
So even though everyone is in the same cabin, there are two completely opposite atmospheres.
Those who passed were holding parties and cheering to celebrate, while those who failed were so disappointed that they hid alone in the cabin and sobbed.
Although Lin Fan passed the trial, he chose to stay in the cabin to sum up his experience.
In his opinion, although he seemed to have succeeded this time, he had gained extremely rich loot.
But in some places it was not the best, and there were even some flaws.
For example, if he had a high-quality flying sword, why would he have to fight so hard against Sun Qian and the big Han?
For another example, if he hadn't been favored by Deputy Viewer Jiang and appointed as Jiang Yue's nanny, why would he have been so passive during the trial?
"Speaking of which, I have obviously been deliberately hiding my strength from outsiders. The only time I showed it was because I was assassinated. I couldn't show it in order to protect myself."
"Is it possible that the assassin who opened the pulse that day was sent by Deputy Temple Master Jiang?"
While thinking, he connected all the clues.
"No wonder this old fellow, Deputy Guanzhu Jiang, hinted at me to kill Jiang Yue's fiancé. I'm afraid he took a fancy to my strength."
"But given the other party's identity, it shouldn't be difficult to find a killer. It seems... forget it, it's just too much to think about."
However, it is not clear whether showing strength is good or bad.
Just like back then, if he hadn't revealed his talent for making talismans, he probably wouldn't have been invited to participate in the talisman ceremony.
In that case, it would be like missing a big opportunity.
Therefore, the key to how much strength is revealed lies in an appropriate scale.
His current definition of himself is: in the eyes of outsiders, he has above-average qualifications and strong strength, but is not among the top. But at critical moments, he can surprise people.
Next, he began to analyze why he could survive the cruel trial and even gain so much.
Is it because he is very powerful?
Some connections, but not major ones.
Because as far as he knew, among the group of entry-level disciples who participated in the trial, there were still some who were stronger than him.
One of them was named Qian Yuan.
Not only has his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but he is also only one step away from opening his meridians.
He is also practicing a high-grade Xuan-level technique, which is much stronger than his improved version of Ming Shui Jue.
There are even two high-grade magic weapons in hand!
However, he still died in this trial.
Investigating the reason, Lin Fan believed that the opponent was too arrogant and did not keep his trump card.
Because this senior brother usually likes to show off in front of outsiders. Therefore, with a little inquiry, you can collect detailed information about this senior brother.
With information, we can target it specifically.
No matter how strong you are, you can still find a way to deal with it.
And the reason why he won the game with Sun Qian was because of the trump card in his hand.
"It seems that the best strategy is to increase your trump cards and keep a low profile."
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already five days later.
The giant boat docked above Qingzhu Temple and sent all the disciples back to the martial arts field.
Lin Fan immediately summoned Fuhe, rushed into the house impatiently, and began practicing in seclusion.
Because after swallowing lotus seeds earlier, his cultivation has reached the limit of the sixth level of Qi refining, and he can try to break through at any time.
It's just that when we were on the giant boat, due to limited time, we postponed it until now.
After activating the restrictions in the mansion, he immediately sat down cross-legged and activated the Ming Shui Jue.
Fortunately, he had previously obtained a Fucheng Pill that would help him break through a small realm, so the chance of breaking through this realm increased a bit.
After swallowing the elixir into his belly, he immediately mobilized his magic power and used all his strength to attack the realm bottleneck! This chapter has been completed!
