Time flies, white horses pass by, unknowingly, the Shixiong brothers had been on Kunlai Mountain for a full year.

Kunlai Mountain was full of aura and has its own set of cultivator artifact refining methods. Jing Mo and Lu Ming both reached the critical moment of breaking through the Gold Core stage, although it seemed that Lu Ming was catching up with Jing Mo, but in fact only he knew the reason. While Jing Mo was purely gifted, Lu Ming had gone to space and spent three years in seclusion before reaching the late Gold Core stage.

Lu Ming also wondered in his heart, he was the ground spiritual root qualification, Jing Mo cultivation speed was obviously faster than his own nearly two or three times, but when Jing Mo put his hand on the black basalt Liuli Stone to test the qualification, he found that Jing Mo’s spiritual root was only belong to the ground spiritual root, no matter how it does not match his cultivation speed, this was really somehow unusual.

Lu Ming had asked about the reason, Jing Mo told Lu Ming that it was because Cang Zhi had given him a cultivation secret book, so the cultivation speed had increased so fast. Lu Ming understood, if this was the case, it also made sense, Cang Zhi has lived for thousands of years, the grade was also very high, certainly they had their own understanding of cultivation methods, and no longer doubted the other.

Lu Ming, as Sect Leader’s personal Disciples, has been busy lately, arranging many matters with Master Fu Chen and Yun Che, and has not had a good rest for a whole month, even looked listless while eating at the dinner table.

Jing Mo felt sorry for him and said, “There are so many Shidi sisters, why don’t you assign them to do the work? Why don’t you assign them to do everything? You are so tired.”

Lu Ming didn’t have an excuse, instead he put a piece of tofu into his mouth and chewed it for a moment, praising, “Xiao Mo, your skills are getting better and better, even better than the hotel chef.”

“After entering the Gold Core period, you can obviously stop eating, but you still have to eat three times a day.” Jing Mo shook his head helplessly and then said, “But what is a hotel?”

Lu Ming said vaguely, “It’s a big restaurant.” Lu Ming quietly glanced at Jing Mo, suddenly thinking if this man put on the chef’s uniform, put on the chef’s hat, a serious face with a big spoon frying, must be very funny. Thinking of this, Lu Ming could no longer hold back the smile at the corners of his mouth, and even his eyebrows curled up in a smile.

Jing Mo wondered, “Shixiong, what are you laughing at?”

“Nothing.” Lu Ming curbed his smile and then said, “Did you finish the task I gave you?”

Jing Mo nodded and then said, “Only Disciples of Foundation Establishment rank can participate in the Kunlai Trials, but the number has reached 500. But it will also lose the qualification.”

Lu Ming took out two delicate button-type objects from his pocket, handed them to Jing Mo and said, “These are the magic Artifacts I just made, no matter how far away you are, you can get the exact location of the opponent by pouring your aura into them. The water swamp Secret Realm is full of dangers, you and I will go in together, but it is inevitable that we will be scattered by the beasts. In case of separation, we can all rely on this little thing to find each other’s specific location, so do not lose it.”

Jing Mo took one of them, cupped it in his fingertips and looked at it carefully, then tried to inject his aura into it, and really saw the one in Lu Ming’s hand emitting a faint blue light. Jing Mo was amazed when he saw that he could sense the exact location of the other one with his divine sense, and he exclaimed, “So, no matter how far away it is, I can find the other one by following the direction of the divine sense. This is really new, brother can actually think of it.”

Lu Ming coughed dryly, he would not tell Xiao Mo that the inspiration actually came from the modern locator only. And, of course, there was the technical support and moral support of the  little fat friend 233.

“By the way, how is the person I asked you to check?” Lu Ming then asked.

Jing Mo looked at Lu Ming’s hand holding chopsticks, eyes flashed a trace of dark, but was well hidden, just smiled and said, “Kunlai has nearly 10,000 people, but I could not find the aura of magic cultivation.”

Lu Ming sighed, “Sang Wusheng is the day spiritual root of the qualification, certainly disguised extremely well, easily difficult to find, you worked hard.”

Jing Mo laughed and shook his head, “Brother and I are still polite. Only, why do you want to find this person called Sang Wusheng?”

Lu Ming was stunned, and then looked down and pondered. He couldn’t tell Jing Mo that this Sang Wusheng and he will have more than 90 percent of the future fierce relationship, right? “He is lurking in Kunlai Mountain, I was just afraid he might have something to do with it.”

Jing Mo smiled, just bowed his head and said lightly, “Shixiong, are you very afraid of him? Or are you disgusted with him?”

Lu Ming frowned and thought for a while before sighing softly, “I can’t say I hate him, but I just want to stay as far away from him as possible, preferably for the rest of my life.”

Jing Mo eyes crossed a trace of hurt, nails are almost pinched into the flesh. He tried to suppress the aura running around in his body, but his cheeks did not change at all, just smiled lightly at Lu Ming and said, “I will find out as soon as possible.”

Lu Ming saw that he did not look well and thought that he had been overworked recently, so he tapped his bowl with chopsticks and said with a smile, “Take your time and don’t get tired. This is not a matter that can be solved overnight, so there is no need to rush it, so eat well with me now.”

Jing Mo smiled and replied, “Okay.”

The Trials were held every three years, and as the name implies, it was a selection test. It was ranked by the number of inner pellets of fey beasts that one obtained by entering the Secret Realm in Water Swamp. The top-ranked person will have the opportunity to enter the first-class Disciples group, and may be selected by the Sect Leader as a personal Disciple, then his status in Kunlai will be improved a lot, and enjoy the resources correspondingly more.

Kunlai Mountain has a total of three Sects, one for artifact refining – Sect, specializing in refining magic Artifacts; one for medicine refining – Sect, responsible for making all kinds of elixirs; and one for talisman refining – Sect, responsible for research and development of various talismans. Each Disciple can choose one or two of them according to their own talent and preference, for example, Lu Ming choice was artifact refining and medicine refining Sects, while Jing Mo chose was artifact refining and talisman refining Sects.

Both are highly reputable in the Sects, not only because they were Disciples of the Sect Leader, but more importantly because of their great contributions to the Sect. For example, the amulet Jing Mo made for the Disciples was made by Lu Ming, which was not only practical, but also light and easy to carry, better than the previous artifact refining Sect-made magic Artifacts, and easier to use.

If you can emerge in this trial examination, then it also means that the resources received in the three Sects will increase several times, not only to get access to the Sects to select refining materials, but also to enjoy the treatment of having a small refining workshop alone. All the Kunlai Disciples attached great importance to this trial meeting, which was their only chance once every three years.

Lu Ming didn’t want to compete with the Shidies, only to enter the Secret Realm to find the drawings of the Purple Furnace magic Artifacts, but he has to pay attention to this trial meeting because he has a Dominance Value mission. According to 233, if he can get the first place, he will get 15% of Dominance Value, which was undoubtedly a great temptation for him, no matter what, he had to get first place.

The first thing that Lu Ming had to do was to get the first place in this trial meeting, but a dark horse came out halfway, namely Sang Wusheng, the male protagonist in this novel, and if he was right, Sang Wusheng would definitely be mixed in this trial meeting and would get at least top three.

Lu Ming was thinking, but suddenly Yun Ruan said, “Qingci, the trial meeting is about to start, you and Jing Mo should come over.”

Lu Ming replied “Yes” and went out and called Jing Mo to go to the main hall.

In a short while, they arrived at the entrance of the main hall. The square was almost full of people and looked very crowded. When they saw Lu Ming and Jing Mo approaching, some people in the crowd immediately whispered, staring at them in unison, and occasionally exchanging a few words.

Standing beside Lu Ming, Jing Mo was curious about what people were discussing and quietly put divine sense into the crowd. In addition to some words of envy and jealousy, there were several female Disciples who were discussing his brother and vowing to do everything they could to become a couple with this handsome Master brother.

Jing Mo was furious and dragged Lu Ming all the way to the aura and flew away, leaving only two infinite reveries on the back of the crowd.

Lu Ming was dragged far away by Jing Mo before he could react, and looked at the Shidi with a cold face, but was speechless. What caused this child’s madness again?

Yun Ruan greeted the two from a distance, until the two approached, Yun Ruan said, “The trial meeting is about to start, I and the uncles open the Secret Realm, you two must maintain good order together with Shu Yan.”

Lu Ming and Jing Mo nodded their heads and looked at Shen Shuyin standing next to Fu Chen. This Shen Shuyin was Master Fu Chen’s personal Disciple, although not very old, but the qualifications were excellent, since childhood, with Fu Chen’s side, quite loved Disciple.

Shen Shuyin looked very beautiful, a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly upward, feminine appearance, and looked very similar to a woman. And some frivolous, acting very flirtatious, not at all like the cultivator should have the state of mind. The thing he was best at was to make his master Master Fu Chen angry. Master Fu Chen usually did not smile, was indifferent and impassive, but was often seen angrily chasing the disciple to fight, which was also considered a great fun spectacle for Kunlai Mountain Disciples.

Shen Shuyin was wearing a set of green robes today, which only added to the beauty. He walked towards the two of them, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a smile, “Qingci, the clothes you are wearing today match mine extremely well.”

Lu Ming was slightly embarrassed, looking at his own light green clothes, thinking that it was too late to run and change. The Disciples who prepared his clothes thought that because his name had the word green in it, they thought he liked green clothes too? The fact that almost 90% of the wardrobe was made up of green shirts was really enough. Imagination was not great!
