Chapter 172: Chapter 116: How Did I Become A Hero?_2

Translator: 549690339

They regretted it immensely, a feeling so strong that they considered slapping themselves when awoken in the middle of the night.

“Junior Brother, I was such a beast. 1 1 m sorry…”

“Junior Brother, I was wrong. If anyone in Golden Sword Peak dares to bully you in the future, come to me.”

“And me, here’s a Communication Talisman. Please be sure to take it. A promise is a promise.”

The same people who had insulted him earlier were once again apologizing to Lin Yi and one by one took out their own Communication Talismans, placing them outside the grid.

“Thank you, Senior Brothers. It feels so great to be a disciple of Golden Sword Peak.” Lin Yi was touched and bowed deeply, with tears starting to form in his eyes.

Zhou Yun Feng, watching this scene, could hardly suppress a smile. In his view, Lin Yi was indeed a courteous and respectful person, not easily provoked, and especially cautious. However, he was definitely not the kind of person who would take an insult without retaliating.

Had he not known Lin Yi well, he might have believed what Qiu Sheng Hai had said, that Lin Yi stepped up for Golden Sword Peak’s honor, at risk to himself.

Nevertheless, it was only natural for one to choose to enter the Secret Realm for personal gain. Most importantly, Lin Yi is a disciple of Golden Sword Peak, and his decision to take the test and risk entering the Secret Realm is already a representation of Golden Sword Peak.

He flicked his sword lightly, creating a string of sword hums, “Alright, everyone, quiet down. Regardless of your abilities, taking this test represents your courage and your resolve to win honor for Golden Sword Peak…”

“Everyone deserves respect and, having chosen this test, do your best to complete it.”

Everyone continued with their test. However, the looks they gave Lin Yi were filled with respect and void of envy.

Lin Yi sighed, surprised at how using his Great Perfect Level farming technique, with Qiu Sheng Hai r s help, had not elicited resentment but rather admiration from the adjacent disciples—a pleasant surprise indeed.

After using the Rainfall Technique, he applied the Spring Nourishing Technique to better assist the Spirit Grass in absorbing nutrients. For the Spirit Rice, he also applied the Warm Growth Technique to further aid in nutrient absorption.

Watering and nourishing complete, he was pretty much finished for the day. The other disciples also began to leave the plots of land one after another.

Lin Yi chose to leave too, as he still had Sword Control Technique to practice. Staying here wouldn’t accomplish anything.

At the ferry platform, some fellow disciples who were waiting there again apologized and offered him their Communication Talismans, assuring him that they were only a call away if he ever needed help.

He accepted with gratitude and then with Qiu Sheng Hai left Golden Sword Peak on a Flying Boat.

“Brother Qiu, thank you for today.” Lin Yi thanked him with a bow on the Flying Boat.

Qiu Sheng Hai waved away the thanks, “It was nothing. I just can’t stand those guys who are incapable themselves yet envy those with talent.”

“Junior Brother Lin, keep pushing hard. I look forward to your triumphant return from the Dan God Secret Realm.”

In his opinion, Lin Yi’s mastery of the farming technique exceeded all those participating in the test, so his selection was inevitable.

Lin Yi nodded in agreement expressing his intentions, after entering the Dan God Secret Realm, of focusing on hunting for treasures. It didn’t make much sense to do otherwise.

In the following days, he visited the Golden Sword Plaza daily to look after the

Spirit Grass. However, only a few days into the test, some plants from Disciples specialized in farming were showing signs of wilting and turning yellow.

Either too much water was given or the soil was not replaced.

Every time Lin Yi came to look after the Spirit Grass, he would draw quite a bit of attention. The use of his technique had an undeniable flare, the thunderous noise could be heard across the entire plaza.

Some disciples gave up on the challenge, while many more persisted.

Although Lin Yi had clearly secured himself a spot, another place was still up for grabs.

As time went by, the disciples who hadn’t spotted any insect eggs or weed seeds began to see weeds sprouting up in their pots. The hidden eggs, nourished by the conditions, slowly transformed into insects, burrowing their way out of the soil.

For a while, some areas were buzzing with winged insects. Disciples could not haphazardly kill them using spells, as if a spell was to follow an insect into a different square, they would be inadvertently helping their competitions to clear pests.

Even though the Spirit Grass and Spirit Rice in Lin Yi’s pot were growing well, they didn’t attract too many insects. After all, his [Little Farmer] skill had the enhancement to resist 30% of pest attacks.

Apart from insects and weeds, under the setup of the Pill Hall, there were signs of disease developing in the Spirit Grass.

At this point, the problem had to be solved through watering or sun exposure. Without effective and early prevention, the quality would be greatly affected.

However, this obstacle stumped some competitors. Certain Inner Sect Disciples kept incessantly casting their Farming Techniques to increase their expertise without actually taking care of the Spirit Grass.

Without any hands-on care, they naturally wouldn’t be aware of the emergence of pests and diseases. As a result, they were among the first batch of contestants to be eliminated.

The other two parts of the challenge were also ongoing; one part was heated combat on a fighting platform, while the other was the occasional furnace explosion in the Pill Hall section, attracting much attention.

Compared to farming, the Alchemy section was more challenging, which indicated the difficulty level of entering the Alchemy Room in the Dan God Secret Realm. fre(e)webnov(l).com

The treasures in the Secret Realm Cave Mansion could not be certain, but the Alchemy Room was different. It was confirmed to contain various precious pills, even including the God Refining Pill that could help achieve a breakthrough from Nascent Soul to the Deification Realm.

During the examination period, Gold Sword Zen Ren paid a visit. Seeing the marvelous phenomena of Lin Yi’s Farming Technique, he offered a faintly surprised nod of approval.

As the month of testing concluded. the five soecies of SDirit Grass in Lin Yi’s pot had grown significantly larger than those of his peers, and on his several sprigs of Spirit Rice were heavy clusters of grains, a sight most satisfactory.

In particular, the Purple Star Flower, a crucial ingredient in the Foundation Building Pill, shone brighter than the others when its petals opened at night, appearing extraordinarily beautiful.

Whenever people passed by Lin Yi e s plot, they emitted sounds of amazement. Cultivating fields to such an extent was no longer a mark of excellence, but rather a miracle. fre(e)webnov(l).com

The day after the examination ended, Gold Sword Zen Ren reappeared. He first announced the new ranking for two combat disciples and one alchemy disciple, One of the combat disciples remained a direct disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren t s, but had only Top-grade Spiritual Roots.

The previously mentioned Supreme-grade Spirit Root disciples, after participating in the first major Inner Sect competition of the Dan God Secret Realm, had not suppressed their realms but instead made successful breakthroughs in their Foundation Establishment.

As the Golden Sword Peak was known for its combat strength, they didn’t need to suppress their realm to participate in the second Dan God Secret

Realm quota competition. Others would fill in for their combat power gap.

Gold Sword Zen Ren had once again recruited two Top-grade Spiritual Root disciples with sword skills from the Inner Sect. Both were at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and one of them had reached the Great Perfection Realm. One of the attendees was Wei Ling Yun.

The two recruits had previously apprenticed under his direct students. One came from Li Yuan Qings disciples, and the other from Zhou Yun Fengs.

The other disciple who won the quota this time came from one of Li Yuan Qings junior brothers.

The disciple who passed the Alchemy test was from the Pill Hall. It was said that he had been in the Pill Hall for decades, persevering in Alchemy, and his accumulation over time had resulted in this opportunity.

After he announced the three spots, Gold Sword Zen Ren’s gaze landed on the neatly arranged rows of pots in the square. The more than six hundred disciples who had undertaken the farming challenge stood in their squares, waiting for announcement of the final results.

Actually, after this month of caring for their plants, who would get the two available spots was quite obvious. This result was just a formality.

With an indifferent tone, Gold Sword Zen Ren announced: “Next, the results of the challenge for the farming disciples will be revealed. The spots for entering the Dan God Secret Realm are awarded to Lin Yi and Han Feng Jie.. The Spirit

Grass under their care all far outdid their peers…”
