C139 On the Eve of the Examination

3Nie Zhuang didn't say this out loud because he wanted Nie Zhen to pay a price. He was just telling the good news to Nie Zhen in a teasing manner.

Nie Zhen looked at the slightly embarrassed Nie Xiaoqi, then looked at Murong Lee who was brimming with happiness, and combined with the elated atmosphere of Nie Mansion, he immediately knew that Nie Zhuang was not lying.

"Brother-in-law, don't listen to what Father-in-law said. It's not easy for you to be in the Duobao Sect, so don't affect you just for us." Murong Lee said with a smile. Nie Zhen had already brought them a lot, not to mention other things, just those mid-grade spirit stones were enough to make Nie Mansion stand out among the crowd, and was comparable to Duobao Sect.

However, Nie Zhen laughed at Murong Lee and scolded him, "Brother-in-law, what you said is foreign to the outside world. We are family, and besides, I am an elder. How can I not do my best? Otherwise, won't my sister scold me to death!"

But at this time, Nie Xiaoqi said, "Little Zhen, stop talking about me. Why don't you talk about me? You even have a nephew, how come you haven't found a good girl yet? "

"Oh wow... "Elder sister, I was wrong!" Nie Zhen shook his head. He was too busy with cultivation and didn't have the time to do so. Besides, Nie Zhen had yet to meet a girl that could move his heart.

The entire Nie Mansion was surrounded by a joyful atmosphere. Nie Zhen and his family spent a relaxing day, and this could be considered as the most relaxed day he had in the past few years.

A day later, Nie Zhen officially started imparting techniques to his close friends and relatives. Although this wasn't an authentic Asura Divine Spell, it was still considered common, so Nie Zhen passed it on to his most trusted people.

His father, Zhuang Zhou, and his brother-in-law, Murong Lee, naturally wanted to teach him cultivation techniques. In addition, there was Nie Mansion's Chief Steward and Zhuang Zhou.

The four of them were not as strong as Yu Zhenzi and Jue Mingzi. Among them, Expert of the Heavenly Stage's Zhuang Zhou was still able to comprehend the cultivation technique taught by Nie Zhen in a short period of time. The others would probably need a day or two to completely digest it.

While his father was digesting the new technique, Nie Zhen started to refine the pill.

Now that he knew that his sister was pregnant and that he was going to be an uncle in nine months, Nie Zhen had to prepare some gifts for his nephew or niece.

It was unavoidable for Foundation Establishment Pills to exist. However, Nie Zhen did not have the necessary ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pills that he had refined. Since there were still nine months, he could put this matter aside for now.

It was because the stronger a female cultivator was, the more she would not need to be pregnant, as her own spirit energy would be enough to protect the fetus in her arms. Usually, the high quality Mortal Pills were meant for women below the Human Stage.

As for the medicinal ingredients that were refined, Nie Zhen could buy them from the medicine shop under the Nie Mansion. Although the requirements for the medicinal ingredients were harsh, they were still ordinary items and were easy to find.

Nie Zhen was even able to concoct a pill on the level of a top-grade Heaven Pill. A mere top-grade Mortal Pill was really easy. From opening the furnace to forming the pill, it only took a short period of time.

With this pill and the Sapling Wood Pill, at the very least, he could guarantee his sister's safety in childbirth.

After two days, Nie Zhuang and the rest had completely digested the cultivation technique Nie Zhen passed on to them, and their cultivation had risen by a huge amount. Nie Zhen had left some mid-grade spirit stones in the manor, which was enough to deplete his Nie Mansion for a period of time.

It wasn't that Nie Zhen hadn't thought of transferring the Nie Mansion directly to the Myriad Treasures Empire. After all, the cultivation environment there was better, but it was rejected by Nie Zhuang Wan.

But the most important thing was that Nie Zhen's foundation in the Duobao Sect was not stable, he was still just a senior disciple, so it was not appropriate for him to move the entire clan to the Nie Family. However, once he reached the Myriad Treasures Empire, even if he were to rebuild the foundation of the Nie Family, it would also affect Nie Zhen's cultivation, so Nie Zhuang had to take these factors into consideration and dispel this idea.

Nie Zhen knew that his father had considered everything thoroughly. Furthermore, Nie Zhen did not have to enter the Myriad Treasures Empire to get a good cultivation environment with his current spirit stone resources, so he did not insist.

In the following month, Nie Zhen stayed within the Nie Mansion. Other than his own cultivation, he also taught Nie Zhuang and the others cultivation methods and martial skills.

Because he had to borrow the help of a Shura's Murderous Aura to release the Asura Divine Spell's martial skills, it was a set of Shura's Murderous Aura martial skills that Nie Zhen was unable to teach him. But for the other excellent martial skills, Nie Zhen taught them without reservation, including the Celestial Fist and Congealed Finger that he had previously practiced.

Only until a month later, when there was less than a month left before the Duobao Sect Disciple Annual Examination, did Nie Zhen bid farewell to his relatives and returned to the Duobao Sect.

Not long after he entered the Duobao Sect Mountain Gate, Nie Zhen's messenger spirit tablet received news from Master Duan Rong, telling all of his sect's direct disciples and the disciples of the second sect master's bloodline to gather in the hall where Duan Rong lived.

Disciple, next month is the date of the annual examination. Five days before the examination, all of the disciples under the clan will come to meet outside the Yuqing Hall. At that time, according to the usual practice, I will be meeting all of the core disciples in the hall by myself.

Nie Zhen knew that since he was an Advanced Disciple, he should not have the right to enter Master's hall. The reason Master gave him this special exception was to create momentum for him.

After returning to the Duobao Sect only a few days ago, it was already the day for all the disciples to gather. Nie Zhen walked out of the door and headed towards the Yuqing Hall that Second Sect Master Duan Rong resided in.

The Second Sect Master had more than a thousand disciples, but there were only a dozen direct disciples. When Nie Zhen arrived at the plaza outside the Yuqing Hall, he saw more than ten people surrounded by many disciples.

One of them was a graceful female disciple who was sitting at the head. It was Soong Dong'er Senior Sister Soong who he had met when he was participating in Treasure Snatching Competition.

Nie Zhen was surprised. So this Senior Sister was from the same sect as him?

Nie Zhen walked into the crowd slowly and waited quietly. He did not say much, which was not very obvious in the crowd.

With so many people in the Second Sect Master's faction, they all had their own small cliques. They gathered in groups of twos and threes to chat and fart. Although Nie Zhen had a strange face, no one expressed any surprise.

Not long after, Second Sect Master Duan Rong walked over from afar. The noisy crowd suddenly stopped at this moment.

Everyone simultaneously bowed to the Second Sect Master. There was no need to be reminded, this was true respect from the bottom of their hearts.

The Second Sect Master Duan Rong had always been the most prestigious in the Second Sect Master's bloodline. This was because the Second Sect Master Duan Rong was one of the Five Great Sect Master Sect's most protective disciples, and also the most magnanimous Sect Master.

On this point, even Great Sect Master was not as good as him.

Duan Rong stood in front of his Yuqing Hall and slowly said to the thousand or so disciples in the plaza below: "The annual examination is about to begin, and all the hard work that you've put in this year, at this time, I hope that you'll perform well and not lose face for your own sect, but more importantly, you have to be careful of your own life, and do not act impulsively during the examination."

Finishing his words, Duan Rong Yan continued: "Alright, after the core disciples enter the Yuqing Hall, this sect leader has other instructions."

No one was surprised by this, as Soong Dong'er and the other fourteen disciples naturally walked into the Yuqing Hall.

As for Nie Zhen, he received Duan Rong's hint to him to wait a bit, so he stayed in the plaza.

"Eh …. Core disciple … When will I be able to enter the core disciple area … " The moment Duan Rong and the rest left, Nie Zhen heard a disciple nearby sigh.

"How can it be so easy to be a core disciple? Our Duobao Sect is only at ninety-six, and our second sect master's lineage only has thirteen people. It's too difficult to become one in ten thousand …" Another disciple sighed.

Aside from the fact that the resources of the Duobao Sect's core disciples were richer than the senior disciples every month, they still had the qualification to enter the main peak of Xiluo to cultivate. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth there was not something other places could compare with.

No matter if it was an Advanced Disciple or an ordinary disciple, without exception, all of them yearned for the identity of a core disciple.

At the same time, within the Yuqing Hall, Duan Rong sat upright on his seat, looked at the fourteen core disciples and laughed: "The annual examination is coming again, I wonder what goal you guys have this time? "Dong'er, you're First Senior Sister. Tell me about it first."

Soong Dong'er said, "Master, your disciple's cultivation hasn't improved much this year. My goal this time is to remain in the same position as last year."

Duan Rong nodded and said, "In other words, he is ranked second among the core disciples. This goal is quite rational."

Among the core disciples, besides First Senior Brother and Qin Wuyan, Soong Dong'er's cultivation was the strongest, and that was last year. Although everyone's cultivation had steadily increased this year, no one was particularly outstanding.

The Second Sect Master looked at his own branch's Second Senior, Yin Nian. Yin Nian quickly said, "Disciple's goal this year is to enter the top ten."

Liu Tie nodded his head. This target was quite rational. Five Great Sect Master each had a head disciple, so other than the head disciple, the rest of the disciples in each faction were all around the same level. The target that Yin Nian had set for himself could be considered average.

Duan Rong looked at the rest of the disciples, and without asking them one by one, he directly said: "As for you guys, I hope that you guys will do your best, try to get a better place than last year, but it is really no good, you have to know when to advance and when to retreat, know how to choose, and stay at the same place as last year."

"Disciple obeys!" The disciples replied.

In the annual Duobao Sect disciple exam, aside from verifying the progress made by the disciples in the sect this year, there were also competition among the various factions. If the disciples get good results and surpass the disciples of the other factions, then it would be natural for the masters' faces to shine.

Duan Rong smiled and said, "I have also set my goal this year. Our Second Sect will strive for three disciples to get into the top ten this year."

The fourteen disciples looked at each other, didn't they want to maintain their rank? Why did Master say that three people would be allowed to enter the top ten?
