Isn't this a game? How come you guys are really cultivating immortals!

Chapter 414 I'm going to test my skills against them!

Even someone as thick-skinned as Song Jiulai found it absurd.

She even asked people within the sect, "Do I absolutely have to go to this competition?"

The steward in charge of the arrangements looked helpless: "It was your master, True Man Chihe, who specifically requested that you go and gain some experience."

Experience?

Master, do you know that I am currently fighting against a demon cultivator in the late stage of the Golden Core realm?

I have just survived three tribulations.

You're asking me to beat up a kindergarten? What will happen to my lifelong reputation?

System: "What kind of reputation do you have left in the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect if you come here disguised like this?"

The steward couldn't help but chuckle: "It's a good thing to go and take a look. This competition is being held at the Snow Cang Sect, so you can go and see the Snow Cang Sect."

That makes Song Jiu a little interested.

Going to the Snow Cang Sect is a good opportunity to take a look.

However, I still think Thunder is the best.

Only a few noobs went to take the written test, but we'll see many more at the Snow Cang Sect later...

This time, we can just take the teleportation array to Xuecang Sect.

They were led by a manager.

When Song Jiulai arrived at Xue Cang Sect with the quota for early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, he was once again shocked by the scene before him.

The Snow Cang Sect is a major sect in weapon crafting, and its architecture is magnificent and fantastical.

The entire city was very lively, just very lively.

The most eye-catching feature is the exceptionally tall tower in the middle.

It's so tall you can't even look up at it.

This reminded Song Jiu of the Star-Picking Tower she had seen in Liuxian City.

I heard this is the original, right?

The mere thought of Zhaixing Tower brings to mind the gossip about Liuxian City marrying the niece of the Xuecang Sect Master.

This gossip inevitably brings to mind that the two have now fallen out...

cough cough.

People are always most excited when they think about gossip.

"Wow--"

As soon as they emerged from the teleportation array, the little radishes couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Because it was also their first time visiting the Snow Cang Sect.

"Senior sister, senior sister."

A six-year-old junior brother shook Song Jiu's arm and asked, "Senior sister, senior sister, have you ever been to Xue Cang Sect?"

Song Jiulai: "No."

"You're so much older than us, how come you've never been to the Snow Cang Sect?"

"..."

Is this kid saying that on purpose?

System: "The Emperor is playing you! He's playing you!"

"..."

Song Jiulai's forehead was practically covered in a grid pattern.

After this group of people from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect exited the teleportation array, a large number of people gathered near the array.

But when Song Jiu came to see it, she couldn't hold back any longer.

It was like a big kindergarten reunion.

In front of each team stood a group of children, dressed in identical sect uniforms, standing neatly in place.

The children, dressed in light green and white clothes with small gourds hanging from their waists, looked particularly relaxed, their faces serious and proper.

They were jumping and hopping around there.

Each team was led by an older manager.

Song Jiu stood out from the crowd—because she was wearing sect attire and sitting at the same table as the children.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Almost everyone looked over.

The Wanxian Sect manager chuckled as he introduced the disciples to Song Jiu: "Those in blue are disciples of the Xuecang Sect, those in orange-red are disciples of the Tianyang Sect, those in light green and white are disciples of the Lingshen Sect, and those in brown are disciples of the Liyun Sect."

Their Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is the most pretentious.

Because he was wearing white clothes.

Song Jiu looked around and didn't see anyone older than himself.

Or rather, none of them were over 10 years old.

After a long silence, Song Jiu said, "Are there any people your age?"

The steward chuckled and said, "Then we'll have to go find someone at the Golden Core stage. It's a pity there's no Golden Core stage competition today."

System: "I like the way this manager talks."

"Is this the legendary disciple of the Crimson River Immortal, and the refiner of the three-element colored stones, Jiu Song?"

Suddenly someone came over. It was a simply dressed old man, also in light green and white, with a gourd hanging from his waist.

A closer look reveals a somewhat slovenly appearance—but there's a certain carefree and easygoing air about him.

It was he who spoke.

Song Jiulai felt that these words were directed at her.

hateful!

Is she that famous? I really need to talk to her.

The old man's words piqued everyone's interest even more.

The children were whispering among themselves.

"Is she here to compete too?"

"I heard that's true."

"How old are you and you're still not ashamed?"

"How come you're only at the Foundation Establishment stage at such an old age...?"

Song Jiulai was furious: "Don't these kids talk back to people? What kind of parents raised them? Where is their manners and morality?"

System: "What's the point of saying these things if you don't say them to my face? Aren't you ashamed!"

"cough--"

The old man coughed, probably feeling that it was indeed impolite for the children to say such things to his face, but he tried to make amends: "Refining three-element colored stones must require exceptional comprehension. Perhaps he was held back in the past."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Hearing this, Song Jiu seized the opportunity and shamelessly said, "What you said makes sense."

The old man glanced at Song Jiulai sideways.

A meaningful smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Since..."

"Ahem, ahem." Realizing he almost said something he shouldn't have, the old man said, "It's a rare thing to be able to take on apprentices these days."

The other children looked at Song Jiu with curiosity, and one of them couldn't help but ask, "Will this older sister compete with us too?"

The other stewards coughed and said, "Yes, she's going to participate in the beginner's competition for the early stages of Foundation Establishment."

"Wow……"

"Wow!"

Another round of "Wow!"s erupted.

System: "Wow!"

Song Jiulai had relied on his thick skin his whole life to get by, but at this moment he still felt a little embarrassed.

"Hmph, don't let us beat you to a pulp."

A child in an orange-red shirt crossed his arms and looked at Song Jiu with disdain.

Song Jiulai: "Those damned Tianyang Sect members have absolutely no manners!"

What kind of reputation does your Tianyang Sect have?

The steward of Tianyang Sect immediately reprimanded him, feigning seriousness: "Yu Cheng, you must respect your seniors!"

"Senior?" Yu Cheng, though young, spoke in a sarcastic tone: "What senior? You're so old and only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. In terms of age, you are indeed a senior."

"..."

Song Jiulai: "I'm going to show him what it means to punch Nanshan Kindergarten and kick Beihai Kindergarten."

System: "Do you think this is a glorious thing?"

"glory!"

The system remarked, "You were born in a wonderful era where it's not illegal to beat up minors."

The Tianyang Sect manager quickly took the group of children away.

The Wanxian Sect manager's smile faded, and he whispered to Song Jiu, "Don't take him seriously. He's young and lacks manners."

Song Jiulai nodded with a smile: "Of course I won't stoop to their level. They're just ignorant kids."

If I'm wrong, I'm going to show them what I'm made of!

The manager of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was very satisfied.

I had heard before that this child had been skinning monster materials alone at the border of Dongmo Valley for a month without leaving the house.

Such temperament is also extremely rare.

It truly lives up to its reputation!
