Destiny Hall.
Refers to obtaining a destiny.
A place where inner disciples of the Wuxian Sect test their strengths and cultivation level.
There were 488 inner disciples in the entire Third Peak, which seemed like a small number, but this was the proportion of the Third Peak.
Anyone who could enter the Third Peak had a great possibility of opening the Yuan realm and stepping into the Primordial realm. It could be said that these people were talented individuals who stood out among the chosen ones from the outer disciples.
To be ranked in the top 100 of the Third Peak, leaving the other 388 behind, was equivalent to being exceptional among the talent.
When Lu Qingyun and Lu Qinghe arrived at the Destiny Hall, many disciples were moving around nearby.
From the Third Peak to the entire Wuxian Sect, resources were allocated according to one's strength. Therefore, whether inner or outer disciples, if their cultivation improved, they would definitely enter the Destiny Hall at the first opportunity to compete for higher rankings and gain more resources.
First come, first serve.
Lu Qingyun had a large amount of inferior elemental stones, which she did not intend to sell, but instead intended to distribute them evenly among some Snow Eagle Swordsmen, keeping most for her own cultivation.
Therefore, even though she had abundant wealth, she was unwilling to let go of other income.
Furthermore, the ranking within the peak represented reputation and status.
Especially the rankings of the First, Second, and Third Peaks were constantly monitored by the elders of the Wuxian Sect, and even the Supreme Elders. If one could be a top ranker, it was very likely to attract the attention of those elders and Supreme Elders, and be accepted as a direct disciple.
By then, receiving personal guidance from a Primordial Realm Elder would undoubtedly make the path of cultivation much smoother.
"Lu Qingyun!?"
"Lu Qingyun broke into the top 89 not long ago. Could she have made another breakthrough now?"
"At under 16 years old, being able to rank in the top 100 of the Third Peak exhibits extraordinary talent. It is said that several elders have set their sights on her already!"
"I wonder by how many ranks she'll improve this time?"
Lu Qingyun's arrival caused a small commotion among the crowd. Many outer disciples following the inner disciples, attendants, and even real inner disciples, looked at her with some jealousy.
"Elder Zhenming, I'm here to be tested."
Lu Qingyun ignored those attendants and disciples, and went directly to the side of the Destiny Hall.
There, an old man was sitting calmly, with a relaxed air about him.
"Lu Qingyun?"
Elder Zhenming looked at Lu Qingyun, flipped through a book, then glanced at her again. A hint of surprise appeared on his originally relaxed face: "You've made another breakthrough so quickly?"
"I went out for experience not long ago and gained some opportunities."
"You're fortunate to be so young."
Elder Zhenming nodded and handed her a token, saying, "You practice the Lingyun Technique, go to the second side hall."
"Thank you, Elder."
Lu Qingyun acknowledged and said to Lu Qinghe, "Lan Yue Lake has always been known for its talent and strength. I will test my abilities and then go to Lan Yue Lake. You wait here for me."
After saying this, she headed towards the inner hall.
"Lu Qingyun."
As Lu Qingyun entered the inner hall, a voice echoed from outside.
However, Lu Qingyun had already walked some distance and did not hear his voice.
In less than a moment, a young man with a somewhat gloomy expression, accompanied by two women and a man, arrived at the Tianming Hall.
Upon seeing this person, the crowd let out an even louder exclamation than when Lu Qingyun had arrived earlier.
"Ditian Guang, it's Senior Brother Ditian Guang!"
"Ditian Guang Senior Brother has actually come to the Tianming Hall. He is a strong practitioner at the ninth level of Refining Reality."
"Senior Brother Di broke through to the ninth level of Refining Reality four months ago, directly elevating his ranking to thirty-nine. I wonder what rank he will achieve this time."
Among these exclamations, a group of four people had already arrived at the main hall.
Seeing that Lu Qingyun was nowhere to be found, Ditian Guang's expression turned somewhat cold. "Damn."
"This Lu Qingyun, most of the time is either in the outside world or in her own courtyard. Occasionally, when she goes out, it's always to 'Lan Yue Lake,' unpredictable!"
A young woman who came with Ditian Guang said disdainfully.
"Sister Yue Lin, I think Lu Qingyun is clearly afraid of falling into our hands, that's why she doesn't dare to walk in the sect."
Another man echoed.
"Given the status of Young Master Ditian Guang, what does she, Lu Qingyun, amount to?"
Another woman with long hair also spoke arrogantly.
"Humph!"
"If you're not going to test, don't waste time in the main hall."
At this moment, the casually sitting Elder Zhenming spoke up.
"Hm? Since when is it not allowed for people to stay in the Tianming Hall?"
Ditian Guang had already reached the ninth level of Refining Reality and had confidence in opening up the Genesis Realm and stepping into the Harmony Realm. Naturally, he didn't have much respect for Elder Zhenming, who had no hope of advancing to the mid-stage of the Harmony Realm and whose potential was depleted.
"Allowed or not, it's up to me. I think you are too noisy in the main hall, alright?"
"Hm!?"
Ditian Guang's eyes carried a restrained anger.
However, although he could disdain Elder Zhenming psychologically, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Thinking that Lu Qingyun seemed to have gone to the second side hall, he said in a cold tone, "I will test, of course, I need the token for the second side hall!"
"Alright."
Elder Zhenming directly threw the token to Ditian Guang.
He guessed what Ditian Guang wanted to do, merely to interfere with Lu Qingyun's test.
The test only happened once a month, and if Lu Qingyun's test was disturbed this time and her results were poor, there would naturally be no allocation of resources for her that month.
This had no practical significance, but it could be unsettling for the other person.
Moreover, if he wanted, he could keep an eye on his opponent, constantly pressuring them so that their achievements wouldn't go up.
Such things were not uncommon in the inner sect.
Ditian Guang quickly entered the second hall.
Leaving only Yue Lin, and another man and woman.
The three of them were preparing to leave the Tianming Hall, but when they saw that Lu Qinghe remained indifferent, they couldn't help feeling somewhat angry. "Why can this person stay in the Tianming Hall?"
"Do I need to repeat myself? Whether to allow it or not is up to me to decide."
Elder Zhenming said lightly.
This attitude made the three of them extremely furious, but they were reluctant to act due to the person's elder status and the fact that he had reached the Harmony Realm cultivation level.
"Yue Lin, it seems to me that this person seems to have come with Lu Qingyun earlier. Maybe there is some connection between him and Lu Qingyun!"
At this moment, the woman with long hair spoke.
"Hm!?"
Yue Lin glanced at Lu Qinghe and her eyes were quite cold. "Did you come with Lu Qingyun?"
Lu Qinghe glanced at Yue Lin...
Refining Reality at the seventh level.
He didn't look very old, indicating that he was an inner sect disciple.
"But...
That's it.
"Kid, Senior Yue Lin is asking you a question, are you deaf or mute!?"
Seeing Lu Qinghe's indifferent appearance, the long-haired girl immediately became furious and angrily questioned.
"Bang!"
Before she could make any other move, a powerful true energy surged forth, uncontrollably sweeping her out of the Heavenly Fate Hall. She crashed outside, with blood streaming from her head, her originally well-groomed long hair now stained with blood, looking extremely disheveled.
"Sister Longyu!"
"You..."
Yue Lin's gaze instantly locked onto the senior True Fate Elder, her eyes seeming to spew flames.
"Chatter."
The True Fate Elder, as if swatting away a mosquito, casually retracted his hand and said indifferently, "I've told you not to shout and make a scene in the Heavenly Fate Hall, but you didn't listen. I had to take action to teach you a lesson. Are you looking for trouble?"
"Sister Yue Lin..."
Yue Lin glanced at Lu Qinghe, then at the True Fate Elder who had resumed his leisurely demeanor, and coldly spat out a word.
"Let's go!"
Then, she and the man went straight outside the Heavenly Fate Hall.
Although they had left the Heavenly Fate Hall, the three of them did not leave, but coldly stared at Lu Qinghe inside the hall.
Inside the hall, under the protection of the True Fate Elders, they dared not act, but once outside the Heavenly Fate Hall...
Obviously, they had already planned to vent all the accumulated frustration and humiliation on Lu Qinghe's body.
"Kid, even though you are a close attendant, you also have the identity of an outer disciple. Do you want to go in and give it a try?"
The True Fate Elder looked at Lu Qinghe, who had a calm expression, and suddenly spoke.
"I am at the fifth stage of True Qi cultivation, so I'd rather not."
"In fact, among the Inner Nine Peaks, the close attendants also have their own circle and rankings, focusing not only on the inner disciples they serve but also on their strength."
"I've heard that among the top ten close attendants of the inner disciples, there are rarely any reports of untimely deaths."
"Indeed, among the inner disciples, the inner disciples are forbidden from killing each other, but this does not include the outer disciples. After offending someone, if a close attendant wants to protect themselves, they either follow a powerful individual or... rely on strength."
Lu Qinghe glanced at the Heavenly Fate Hall in front of him and indeed had the intention of going in for a test.
However...
Glancing at the cold and murderous Yue Lin and Longyu, as well as the man, Lu Qinghe smiled faintly.
"Thank you for your guidance, True Fate Elder."
After speaking, he turned and went straight outside the Heavenly Fate Hall.
This scene, seen by the True Fate Elder, surprised him greatly.
"Kid, you..."
Not only him, but Yue Lin, Longyu, and the others were also startled to see Lu Qinghe voluntarily leaving the protection of the True Fate Elder and stepping out of the Heavenly Fate Hall, and their faces were already filled with fierce expressions, concealing their killing intent.
"Lu Qingyun's close attendant!"
After inquiring outside, Yue Lin and the others already knew Lu Qinghe's identity.
"He's just a close attendant. If we kill him, who will care."
After Yue Lin finished speaking, she waved her hand at Longyu, "The insults you suffered were all because of this person's fault. Now I'm giving you the opportunity to avenge yourself."
"Thank you, Sister Yue Lin."
With a look of hatred in her eyes, Longyu went straight towards Lu Qinghe, with her hand already on her sword.
"At the sixth stage of True Qi cultivation."
Lu Qinghe looked at Longyu approaching fiercely, his expression extremely calm.
Among the three, both Longyu and the man were at the sixth stage of True Qi cultivation, while only Yue Lin was at the seventh stage.
