Forsaken Immortals Chapter 97 - Lost Little Lamb

Chapter 97 - Lost Little Lamb

There were multiple challenges that one had to go through; the first was to check one's cultivation base. One needed a minimum of the Acquired Realm, Sky Tier, and Mediate Layer to be allowed even to try the other trials.

Then there was a trial that tested one's understanding of their martial art techniques. You could pick whichever technique you wished to test for, but if you did not show a satisfactory display of control over the technique, one would be removed.

After this came the fighting test. Although one could control their techniques and had a decent cultivation rank, the most vital thing to stay alive was their battle ability. So these people would be sent to train against beasts.

The Blue Water Inst.i.tute had brought more than ten thousand beasts with them to the trial grounds, and each person who reached the third trial had to fight against these beasts.

This was the hardest trial of them all. The beasts were not caring about the welfare of the ones taking the examination. They were frenzied and full of fear, so they fought with everything they had on the line, only to be killed in the end.

Those who managed to injure the trialists would be put down by the overseer of the trial, so that although some trialists failed the test, but they still saved their lives.

Bai Rouyun walked around the trial grounds. She saw multiple techniques being displayed, some with much more flair than others, but none of them seemed to be as powerful as the techniques she had access to through her previous life.

At the same time, she also saw multiple fights against magical beasts, and she saw that some people had their potential ignited and fought with relentless fierceness, while others became scared and cowered in a corner.

The Blue Water Inst.i.tute only wanted those who could pa.s.s all three tests, and while many thousands had shown up to the trials, they were dwindling in numbers faster than she had expected.

But this was the Blue Water Inst.i.tute. While it was indeed an inst.i.tute that was known for being a part of the cultivation world, it was so lowly ranked that those who showed up here did not have the talent or background to go for a more renowned place.

This was also why Bai Rouyun was happy with this place. She had no doubt that she would pick up on cultivation very swiftly since she had cultivated before, but since no one had never taught her the basics, she was aware that this was a problem for her.

She could choose a more prominent cultivation inst.i.tute if she asked Li Moyun. With his background, any inst.i.tutes would take her with open arms, but those places were for those with more background and knowledge about cultivation, so the things that troubled here were often not taught at those academies and inst.i.tutes.

This place suited her perfectly.

As she walked around, she had placed her token in her Primal Chaos Dimension, so that no one would be able to steal it from her. While walking around, she had encountered a few experts who had their tokens lost, and she knew that while they were personal, the experts would be given a verbal trashing for losing it on the first day.

The day was slowly coming to a close, the sun was setting on the horizon, and most of the experts who had been trialed that day were heading back. Some were happy with their results, while others were devastated.

Bai Rouyun walked through the crowds of people, and as she arrived at the town, the crowd slowly diminished as many went to the inns, others to their homes, and yet some to their friends' places.

Since she stayed here for a long time, Bai Rouyun had bought a courtyard, but she was not the only new student who had foresight.

Many had purchased houses, and over the last couple of days, the housing price in Canglan City had multiplied many times over.

As she walked past an inn, she saw an adorable young woman who looked listless and unhappy.

Her entire demeanor was so exhausted, and she somehow drew in Bai Rouyun's eyes.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was a person who had succeeded in the trials, she was holding her plaque in her hand, but her listless face was as if she was about to burst into tears.

Bai Rouyun had never been one to bother about others' feelings, but seeing this girl, she suddenly felt pity.

"What is wrong?" she asked as she approached the girl, and the girl lifted her head, her eyes swirling with unshed tears, and her stomach grumbled loudly.

"Every inn is fully booked," she said with a chocked voice. "I want to eat, but no one has any free s.p.a.ce, I don't know what to do. I am starving!"

Bai Rouyun's lips twitched. She was so sad because she had nothing to eat and no place to sleep?

That was a situation that she was all too familiar with. She had experienced it many times in her past life, and she felt pity for the girl.

"I bought a mansion here in Canglan City," she said with a gentle voice. "I also have a chef at home, so why don't you come with me?"

The girl lifted her head and looked at Bai Rouyun with her big doe eyes; the sadness slowly lifted and replaced with hope.

"Would that really be okay?" she asked, her hands clenching into fists.

"It is fine," Bai Rouyun said with a nod of her head. "Little Chu will not mind me bringing a friend home with me." I hope, she added in her mind.
