Chapter 164: The Test Have Begun? (1/2)

”HUH?”

Sui Wenyan looked at Lin Xiao with a frown. ”What are you talking about? There are only some people who are staying at this place. The test will only start after New Year, which is two days from now.”

”Have you come here before?”

”Come here? Of course not. If you don't want to participate, you're not allowed to come to Long Yin Forest,” Sui Wenyan replied. ”Because of that, the teleportation circle will not be activated if you're not qualified for the examination. You'll be sent to a faraway place if you insist.”

Lin Xiao nodded. He had this inkling when he saw the people who were walking around were all young men and women except for the villagers. The villagers were all elderly and they stayed just to sell items.

But their items were all valuable items, which made him certain that these villagers who looked no different than ordinary person was actually someone very powerful. However, he would need to check them one by one if he wanted to find out.

”What do you want to do, Brother?”

”Visit them.”

Walking to the nearby stalls, Lin Xiao looked down. His eyes showed astonishment when he saw the weapons in front of him. Everything was in extremely good condition and had high rank. Even the weapon in his hand couldn't be compared to the weapons in front of him.

”Do you want to buy them, Young Lads?” an elderly asked with a kind smile.

Lin Xiao smiled. ”How much for one?”

”Not much, just 500,000 gold coins.”

At this moment, Lin Xiao's smile stiffened. He didn't have that much money. Thanks to the herbs fanatic named Lin Yun and Wenren Yu, his money was already drained terribly until there was only little bit left.

How could he afford this expensive sword?

Lin Xiao then swept his gaze on the elderly in front of him. To his astonishment, the man in front of him was only at Body Training Rank 6. While it was possible to hide one's cultivation rank, it was hard to hide it in front of someone who was stronger.

'Did he fake his cultivation?'

While Lin Xiao was confused, he chose to walk around again. The other three following behind him as he practically walked to every stalls that existed. Every elderly people he tried to scan were only at Body Training rank 6 to 7. There was no one that was at Foundation Establishment.

Lin Xiao was baffled.

”Brother, what's wrong?”

”Let's find a place to rest for the night. It's going to go dark soon,” Lin Xiao replied but his expression was odd.

”Alright.”

There were people who stayed there, but there was no inn. Because of that, Lin Xiao and the rest headed to the forest and then picked an empty tree was located not far from the areas of houses.

Sui Wenyan was curious. ”Why are you talking with all the elderly there?”

”Because they're not participants.” Lin Xiao looked at the other participants and realized that many were thinking the same thing as him. However, he knew that there was something that he must have missed.
