Chapter 201: Test! Shock! Did a Fight Break Out?
"Huh? Where's Chang Qing?"
Xian Banmeng arrived in the small world and, seeing no one beside her, couldn't help but pause in surprise.
"Young Sect Leader, the Sect Leader requests your presence."
Xian Lan, standing at the entrance, spoke expressionlessly: "As for your friend, he is quite safe."
"However, the creatures of the forbidden zone have been rampant lately. I need to conduct a check, and afterward, I'll send him to Immortal Platform Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Xian Banmeng breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, saying, "Thank you, Elder Lan."
She hadn't noticed anything unusual, for anyone entering Immortal Platform Mountain to contemplate the Dao Chart would undergo strict scrutiny.
After a brief greeting, Xian Banmeng, in high spirits, headed straight for the main hall.
Little did she know, at this moment, Xian Fu in the hall was staring seriously at the floating water mirror.
The image in the mirror showed the strange world where Su Changqing was.
"No one around, yet rare treasures are everywhere."
"Little fellow, how... will you choose?"
Xian Fu stared intently at the vision before her, her mind restless.
On the path of the personal disciple assessment, the first test is to assess heart and character.
Although this first test is merely an illusion, it was originally left by the Great Emperor, remarkably real, unable to be discerned even by a quasi-emperor stepping in.
In this illusion, although no danger is present, all kinds of worldly temptations would appear one by one.
If someone weak-hearted steps in, their ugly nature will be revealed.
And the beginning of this illusion is wealth, endless wealth at one's fingertips!
Inside the illusion.
Su Changqing slowly walked forward, feeling increasingly uneasy as he saw no one around.
As he walked further, he became more astonished.
The treasures of the heavens and earth could be seen everywhere, rare medicinal herbs could be picked with a bend, and countless techniques and methods were present.
There were even many Divine Techniques and Secret Skills, tempting him greatly.
"Isn't the Immortal Spirit Sect afraid of being robbed?" Su Changqing shook his head and continued forward.
He traveled a great distance, encountering innumerable treasures along the way.
Curious, he even went forward to observe those he hadn't seen before.
But no matter what, he did not pick up a single Spirit Stone.
At this moment, a mighty voice echoed from the heavens and earth.
"Since there is no one guarding, why not take them?"
Upon hearing this, Su Changqing frowned, "To take without asking is stealing, how could one do such a thing?"
Boom!
As soon as the words fell, the world of jewels and glories shattered instantly.
"Wonderful!"
Seeing this, Xian Fu couldn't help but praise, "Unaffected by external things, steadfast to one's heart, excellent character!"
Regardless of cultivation, merely being able to resist the temptation of endless wealth is very rare.
Though it is just an illusion, those within would not have the slightest awareness, feeling like the real world.
Even if the person knew beforehand that they were entering an illusion, they would still be ensnared.
In other words, even if Su Changqing faced such a situation, he would still act the same.
This performance greatly satisfied Xian Fu, and Su Changqing's decision afterward pleased her even more.
Confronted with the temptation of beauty, Su Changqing seemed indifferent.
Faced with the allure of power, Su Changqing treated it lightly.
In the face of moral conflict, he still adhered to his own principles...
As the last illusion shattered, the evaluation 'A-Plus' appeared, and Xian Fu was filled with joy.
"Where did Meng'er find such a young man!"
"With a mind that is tenacious and pure-hearted, and a sense of indomitable spirit..."
Xian Fu excitedly paced in the hall, murmuring with delight, "This is indeed a true talent, a piece of jade!"
"What's talent worth? It can be contended for. Resources aren't important; you can acquire them later!"
"The inherent nature that is hard to change, that is the rarest great talent among millions!"
If initially Xian Fu looked at Su Changqing with scrutiny and criticism,
now was satisfaction upon satisfaction.
She initially thought, as long as Su Changqing could pass this stage, even an evaluation of 'D' would be satisfactory.
But who would have thought, it turned out to be A-Plus!
This was not just satisfaction, but far exceeded her expectations with an impeccable result.
Even if she were to choose, she couldn't pick such an excellent young man for Xian Banmeng.
"Haha, Meng'er will be fortunate in the future."
Xian Fu couldn't help but chuckle, "Even if he can't pass the next two stages, I've already decided on this son-in-law!"
"Mother, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Xian Banmeng walked into the hall. Seeing the vision in the void, her face turn changed,
"Mother, how did you send Chang Qing into the personal disciple assessment?"
Upon hearing this, Xian Fu laughed, "Naturally, it's to screen for you."
"Oh dear, nothing is settled yet, what if he finds out?"
Xian Banmeng said, somewhat irritated.
If she and Su Changqing were indeed together, then Xian Fu's actions would be understandable.
But now...
She hadn't captured his heart yet!
"What's wrong? Can anyone resist my daughter's charm?"
Xian Fu laughed carefreely, and then blinked and smiled:
"Do you know what the evaluation was for this little fellow on the first stage?"
Seeing Xian Fu's expression, Xian Banmeng said defeatedly, "A-Plus, right."
"Oh?"
Xian Fu paused, "How do you know?"
Xian Banmeng laughed bitterly in her heart. How did she know?
When that day he drew out the silver needle instead of feasting on her beauty, she knew.
In terms of steadfastness of mind, few in this world can compare to Su Changqing.
He could resist even her charm of the Enchanting Immortal Physique, let alone a mere assessment.
"Meng'er has good taste, I'm very satisfied with this one." Xian Fu praised.
"Ah, Mother, you'd better let him out now." Xian Banmeng said plaintively.
She truly had no idea how to explain to Su Changqing in a moment.
He didn't take advantage of her at all, instead cured her ailment.
It turned out that having just arrived, not only did he receive no thanks, but he had to go through an assessment...
Just thinking about it made Xian Banmeng feel a headache and guilt.
"Alright, worried about hurting your beloved, aren't you? I understand..."
Now thoroughly convinced the two were together, Xian Fu smiled ambiguously and then looked up at the mirror.
But with one look, Xian Fu's expression turned blank.
On it appeared yet another A-Plus evaluation.
"This... The wisdom stage... He's already passed?"
Xian Fu asked somewhat incredulously, "Meng'er, how long did it take you to pass the second stage?"
"About three hours." Xian Banmeng recalled.
The second stage assessment was simple: comprehending a very special Dao technique, within twelve hours, thoroughly enlighten.
"Three hours..."
Xian Fu murmured to herself, "But this little fellow took... less than three minutes."
The nearby Xian Banmeng was shocked, looking at the reflection in the sky.
Having confronted the personal disciple assessment herself, she knew well how difficult that Dao technique was.
Three hours was the result she achieved with all her might and had already broken the record of the Immortal Spirit Sect.
But Su Changqing... three minutes?
"How strong is his perception really?"
Xian Banmeng muttered in shock.
She thought she knew Su Changqing well enough, but now realized it was just the tip of the iceberg.
Xian Fu silently waved away the mirrored image, simultaneously sending Su Changqing out of the assessment path, into Immortal Platform Mountain.
The last stage was no longer necessary, for Su Changqing's answers were too brilliant.
In her heart, there was no better candidate for son-in-law than Su Changqing.
"Mother..."
"Hm?"
"Do you think he can comprehend the perfect Divine Spirit Technique, which gathers 365 divine apertures?"
Xian Fu, hearing this, was about to shake her head, but suddenly remembered something, her expression changing.
"Oh no, won't Yu Chen and the others start fighting?"
She just remembered, a few days back, she subtly mentioned to Xian Yuchen that Xian Banmeng would bring back a man.
Her intent was to use Xian Yuchen's hand to test Su Changqing's strength, to see if he was worthy of her daughter.
But now such a test was unnecessary, as Su Changqing's results from the first two stages had completely convinced her.
If a fight broke out, wouldn't that harm the good relations?
"Quick, go ensure your friend doesn't get hurt!"
As soon as Xian Fu finished speaking, Xian Banmeng weakly touched her forehead and said:
"You'd better hurry and see, if Yu Chen's injuries are severe or not."
Xian Fu froze, "Immortal Platform Mountain has nine prodigies present."
Xian Banmeng's mouth twitched at this,
"He once single-handedly overturned the Liu family!"
