Chapter 47 - Dao Seeking Trial (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After borrowing a few books from the scripture depository that might contain the power of Yin-Yang, the sky was already dark.

Fang Yuan did not have the intention to sleep, so he continued to read by candlelight at night.

Hard work paid off. On the third day, he finally found some records about the power of Yin-Yang in one of the books.

[Yin-Yang] : One of the origin powers, when combined with the primal purple Qi, it can help one gain enlightenment and cultivate.

Just this sentence.

Although Fang Yuan did not know what the primal purple Qi was, he was not unfamiliar with the word ‘enlightenment’ in the second half of the book.

Up until now, he had only experienced a handful of epiphanies.

And every epiphany meant a huge increase in strength.

Could it be that the Yin-Yang Energy could directly guide the Gu worms into an epiphany state?

Fang Yuan could not help but feel excited, immediately trying it out.

He concentrated on guiding a wisp of purple Yin-Yang energy into the secondary Platinum grade Cloud Moon Gu.

Half a day passed.

When Fang Yuan’s Yin-Yang energy was about to be used up, the system’s notification finally sounded.

[Ding, Your Cloud Moon Gu has absorbed a large amount of Yin-Yang energy, its quality has been upgraded to Platinum!]

[Your Cloud Moon Gu’s skill has been greatly strengthened!]

Here it comes!

Fang Yuan willed and activated his Phantom Step. Instantly, his body was like a ghost, moving from one end of the courtyard to the other in the blink of an eye. It was more than twice as fast as when he was chasing after the rapist.

“Not bad.”

Fang Yuan was very satisfied.

He believed that the other skill had also been strengthened to a certain extent. When there was a chance to dual cultivate, the Yin-Yang energy he obtained would also increase.

That was all in the future. He did not even know if Wan Qian would agree to such a thing.

Although the two of them already had such unforgettable memories, their relationship did not become intimate because of that.

That day was just the result of an urgent matter.

The Dao seeking trial would officially begin tomorrow, so he had to rest well.

After Fang Yuan washed up briefly, he fell into a deep sleep on his bed.

Early in the morning, he was awakened by the gong sounds coming from the main peak.

He seemed to have overslept.

Fang Yuan hurriedly packed up and rushed to the main peak without stopping.

This place had long been surrounded by a large group of disciples.

Compared to the grand event of the outer sect competition, the number of participants was even higher.

Many disciples who were only at the Qi Refinement Stage signed up enthusiastically.

After all, this was a Dao seeking trial, testing a Gu master’s mind, not actual combat.

There was not such a high requirement for theoretical knowledge, and it was completely dependent on a Gu master’s attitude towards cultivation.

The so-called Dao seeking was to test whether a Gu master’s mind was stable under the circumstances where their strength were roughly equal.

Because everyone had a different Dao, and only those with a firm mind could go further on the path of cultivation, this time, there were even more tables in the square.

On each table was a piece of paper, pen and ink for answering questions.

After Fang Yuan received his number plate, he found his own table and sat down.

It was still the same old long-bearded old man who started his speech last time, only announcing the rules after the long speech.

“This year’s exam is very simple, there are only three questions.”

“First, why do Gu masters nurture Gu?”

“Second, why do Gu masters refine Gu?”

“Third, why do Gu masters use Gu?”

“After answering, you can hand in the paper directly, there is no chance to change it after.”

“Time is limited to one incense stick, those who do not finish will be disqualified.”

“Now, the competition begins!”
