NOVEL WEB Chapter 336: The Testing
As they talked, the others tested their talents as well and the rest, although not as rare as Chu Miao and her brother, weren't bad.
After all, they had advanced by a few levels in just a few months. How bad could they be? The only one with a talent slightly above average was He Yan who had a level five while the others were level six.
With this talent, it wouldn't be difficult for them to become golden core cultivators in their lifetime.
Chu Miao hoped that in the future, they might even get a rare opportunity to advance to the nascent soul realm.
If that was the case, then they would be able to live for a thousand years. She was very optimistic about her family.
"Now that we have the testing crystal ball, how should we test the people who will join you to cultivate in the mountain?" Chu Mo asked his daughter.
He didn't want something to happen that might cause his precious daughter to be labelled as biased or something like that and end up causing trouble.
However, exposing the matter of cultivation at this time was still early and might result in trouble.
Spreading cultivation to the whole world wasn't a problem as it could increase the chances of human survival. But doing it too early might give others a chance to trip them and hurt them.
It was better if such a thing could be avoided.
"I will hold a meeting on the fifteenth floor we converted into an eating area. I can set up an array around it so that unwanted people won't be able to enter. I could also have the people participating swear an oath never to disclose anything that happens there unless given the permission to do so.
What do you think about that arrangement? It will allow us to do what we need to while still maintaining secrecy until we are ready to have others know about cultivation." Chu Miao could only think of this method for now.
However, it was the best she could come up with considering the situation.
"Your idea is good. The other people who have joined us are different from Ye Xuan's loyal team or the Li family. We don't know their character yet and it's better not to take any risks. Having them take an oath is good." Grandpa Chu agreed with his granddaughter's decision.
If it was his decision to make, he wouldn't even let others know about cultivation until he was sure his granddaughter would be safe.
To him, his granddaughter was more important than anything else, but he couldn't interfere with the decisions she made for the good of humanity.
"Okay then. I think the earlier we go to the mountain to cultivate, the better as more people would have a chance of breaking through to the foundation establishment realm and enter the ancient battlefield." Chu Hao also knew the importance of this decision and supported his sister.
"Okay then, go and convene all the people on the fifteenth floor. I will be there soon to do the testing.
We can set out tomorrow morning for the mountain. But to avoid any unnecessary scrutiny as so many people going to the mountain would attract unwanted attention, I think it's better if I just teleport everyone there.
From today's test, I imagine that at the moment I can teleport at least ten people without overdrawing myself.
I can take short breaks at the entrance of the ancient battlefield after every teleportation.
That way, it will be a form of training too. What do you think?" Chu Miao suggested after everyone agreed to her plan.
"Since it will also help in your cultivation, it's okay to teleport everyone there. What you said is right, we should avoid attracting too much attention at the moment.
I believe that after coming out of the ancient battlefield, things will be different and no one would be able to cause trouble." Grandpa Chu was the first to agree with his granddaughter.
"Your grandpa is right. You must take advantage of any chance you have to train and become stronger." Butler Cheng also chimed in from the side.
"Thanks for the support grandpa and second grandpa." Chu Miao knew how to be grateful to those who don't try to clip her wings but instead let her soar.
"Okay, I'll go make the preparations." Chu Hao said as he got up but was stopped in his tracks by his mother.
"Stop first. Let's have dinner before you go. At this time, everyone should be eating their dinner. Let's not interrupt other people's meal time because of our own plans. Even if those plans are for their own good." He Yan advised and got up to serve the food in hot pots on the dining table.
Seeing that the lady of the house had spoken, the others had no choice but to obey and go clean their hands.
Dinner was as lively as always and by 7:30 pm they were done. Chu Hao then left to inform the others of the meeting before they started going to bed.
When Chu Miao came down to the fifteenth floor, everyone was already there waiting. Chu Hao had made sure to have everyone join even the children. Especially the children.
They were the best to start cultivation at a young age.
Seeing that everyone was there, she took out a few stones from her space ring and set up a simple barrier on the fifteenth floor.
Those who saw her setting up stones around them didn't understand what was happening until they saw Mrs. Dong trying to get into the fifteenth floor but was unable to walk forward.
They were astonished by such a magical thing. They couldn't see any wall or anything solid at all but they could tell that something was stopping Mrs. Dong from coming into the space they were in.
While this move stopped outsiders from intruding on their meeting, it also demonstrated Chu Miao's power as the leader.
No one would underestimate her anymore due to her young age.
