Everyone in the hall had their eyes wide open as they stared at the Yin Energy stele. Their faces were filled with disbelief. Even Temple Master Liu, who was sitting on the side, was no exception.
I anxiously asked Tong Tong for the reason. Tong Tong looked a little dumbfounded. She hurried to explain, "She didn't release too much Yin energy. She just pressed the acupoints to release Yin energy according to my instructions."
Tong Tong didn't have any reason to lie to me. What happened?
Could it be that there was a problem with the Yin Energy stele?
But so many people had tested it, so why did it have a problem with me?
At this moment, Temple Master Liu stood up. He looked at me from a distance and asked, "What's your name?"
I couldn't think of the reason, so I braced myself and respectfully answered, "My name is Wang Lin."
"Wang Lin …" Temple Master Liu pondered for a moment as if he didn't have any impression of my name. However, he soon said, "I can see that your cultivation level is only at the fifth aperture, so why does the Yin Energy stele show a seven-aperture ring?"
What?
After hearing his words, I was startled.
Although I didn't cultivate Yin energy, I could feel the density of Yin energy. The amount of Yin energy I was releasing was roughly the same as what Tong Tong had just sent into the Yin Energy stele.
It was understandable if Tong Tong had miscalculated the amount of Yin energy in the five apertures, but it didn't make sense that Temple Master Liu had also misjudged my cultivation level.
After thinking about it, I suddenly understood.
Tong Tong wasn't wrong, but both of us had forgotten that the Yin energy in her body was Heavenly Yin energy, which was much stronger than normal Yin energy. The Yin Energy stele tested the power of Yin energy. The amount of Heavenly Yin energy that Tong Tong had sent into the five apertures was comparable to the amount of Yin energy in the seven apertures of an ordinary person!
After understanding the reason, I calmed down a bit. I put on an honest face and answered Temple Master Liu, "I don't know the reason either … However, when I was cultivating a few days ago, I suddenly felt the Yin energy in my body boiling and crazily moving in my Heaven Veins. Not long after, I fainted. When I woke up, I found that my cultivation level hadn't increased, but the quality of the Yin energy in my body had increased a lot. Some of the techniques I used to use were now much more powerful."
I just made it up. However, I had secretly revealed the fact that the quality of my Yin energy was higher. As for why the quality of my Yin energy was higher, I gave him an ambiguous reason.
Sure enough, Palace Master Liu was dumbfounded. Puzzled, he asked, "Is there such a thing?
Come here. "
When I came to him, he asked me to circulate some of the Yin energy in my body. I did as he asked Tong Tong to send a wisp of Yin energy into my palm.
Hall Master Liu waved his hand at me and grabbed the wisp of Yin energy.
He stooped to take a look and exclaimed in surprise. Then, he let go of the wisp of Yin energy and directly reached out to grab me.
I was startled, thinking that he had noticed something was wrong and was about to attack me.
Instinctively, I wanted to take action. However, I soon found that his hand didn't have any Yin energy. It didn't look like he was going to attack me. I restrained myself.
After grabbing my shoulder, he didn't pull me to his side. Instead, he took the initiative to approach me. His eyes gazed at me as he carefully examined me from head to toe.
After examining me, his face turned indescribably frightened. "You have the Pure Yin bloodline!"
As soon as he said that, the entire hall burst into an uproar. Everybody's eyes focused on me, their faces filled with admiration and shock.
After a long while, someone finally reacted and started to discuss.
"How could it be the Pure Yin bloodline?
There aren't many people in the sect with such a constitution, right? "
"Hall Master Liu has confirmed it. Do you dare to doubt his vision?"
"This kid will become the disciple that the sect will nurture in the future. I didn't expect him to have such a lucky encounter. Sigh!"
I didn't know what the Pure Yin bloodline was, but from their expressions and discussions, it wasn't something simple.
I wasn't excited at all because I knew that I didn't have the Pure Yin bloodline. Even if I had it, it should be Tong Tong's.
At the same time, I felt a bit uneasy.
My original intention in infiltrating the Corpse Sect was to avoid trouble. In this situation, the more low-key I was, the better. Being in the limelight wasn't a good thing for me.
But sometimes, man proposes, God disposes. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep a low profile even if I wanted to.
I silently thought about what to do next and didn't say a word. After Hall Master Liu recovered from his shock, he was clearly excited. His gaze toward me seemed to have become much more intimate. He said to me, "Good!
This is great!
The Pure Yin bloodline is the best constitution to cultivate my Corpse Sect's cultivation technique. Most of them are born with it, but there are a few that awaken it after birth. However, most of them are born before the age of 18. You, brat, are really lucky to have such a fortune at such an old age. "
I didn't know what to say, so I simply acted like a fool. It looked as if I had been blinded by excitement, but it didn't show any flaws.
After sighing, Hall Master Liu's expression became gentle. He looked at me and squeezed out a smile on his dry face. He asked me, "You are called Wang Lin, right?
I wonder if you were born inside my Corpse Yin Sect or outside? "
I didn't know what he meant, but Wang Lin was taken to the Corpse Sect from the outside, so he was naturally born outside the sect.
After I replied, Hall Master Liu stroked his beard and let out a hollow laugh. His expression became even more gentle as he asked me again, "Since you are an outer disciple, you shouldn't have a master in the sect. Are you willing to become my disciple?"
After he said this, I understood. He saw that my talent was extraordinary and wanted to take me as his disciple.
I didn't even need to think about this question. Now that I was in the limelight, I would have to live in the eyes of others. It was hard to say whether or not someone would see through me. If I had a master to look after me, everything would be much safer.
Thus, I immediately said, "I'm willing."
After saying that, I prepared to clasp my hands and perform the ceremony of becoming his disciple. At this moment, Hall Master Liu laughed and reached out his hand to stop me. He warmly said, "No need to be so polite.
People of our sect don't care about formalities. As long as you work hard in your cultivation, I will do my best to help you … … Alright, wait here for a moment. After I finish dealing with the matters here, I will seriously test your cultivation. "
I secretly let out a sigh of relief. Becoming his disciple wasn't a big deal, but having me kowtow to him nine times like a disciple was a bit difficult. Although I wasn't a person who would rather break than bend, I still felt a bit uncomfortable in my heart.
Now that he said that the sect didn't care about formalities, it would save me a lot of trouble in the future.
After explaining everything to me, he quickly arranged for the remaining people to be tested. Afterwards, he announced the rewards and punishments for the exam.
Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood, Hall Master Liu directly announced that no one would be punished this time. As for the rewards, it was very simple. Those who performed well could come to the middle hall to cultivate for a few days.
The middle hall was also connected to the Yin energy passage. This place was close to the Purple Zombie Cave, so the Yin energy here was much purer than normal caves. For Corpse Sect disciples who were obsessed with cultivation, cultivating here was a great reward.
In the end, he took out something that looked like a purple leaf and handed it to me. He simply announced to everyone that he was going to give me the Mysterious Yin Leaf as the reward. After that, he told everyone to go back to their own rooms.
When I heard the words "Mysterious Yin Leaf", I was startled. I remembered the Mysterious Yin Liquid that the red shadow had given me. It wasn't until I received the purple leaf from Hall Master Liu that I realized that this leaf wasn't the liquid.
When I searched Wang Lin's soul, I vaguely remembered this "Mysterious Yin Leaf." It seemed to be something that the Corpse Sect would give out after each exam. However, it would only be given to the first place disciple. Its effect seemed to be to increase the rank of the corpse puppet. I heard that one leaf could increase the acupoint of a corpse puppet by one point. Its effect was very mysterious.
However, Wang Lin's talent was average and his cultivation wasn't very high. Thus, he had never received a reward or seen what this leaf looked like.
Wang Lin hadn't seen this leaf before, but I had.
This leaf was completely purple. It was the leaf of the strange plant that grew on the body of the Tai Sui at the end of the Yin energy passage.
When I first saw it, I thought it was very strange, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect.
After everyone left, Hall Master Liu called me over. He asked me a lot of questions and told me that with my current cultivation level, I could go to the upper temple. However, the upper temple wasn't under his jurisdiction. If I went there, he wouldn't be able to take care of me. Also, the quality of the Yin energy in the middle temple was much better than the other caves in the upper temple. If I needed high-quality Yin energy, I could come to the middle temple to cultivate.
Therefore, he decided to let me stay here until my cultivation reached the Sealed Acupoint Seven Apertures stage.
I didn't have any objections and just listened to his arrangements.
Afterward, he explained the various techniques of the Corpse Yin Sect to me.
It took me a lot of effort to get rid of him and leave the middle temple. I quickly returned to my cave. When I arrived at the entrance, I saw Jiang Dongcheng and the short and fat Xu Wei standing there. It seemed they were waiting for me.
After the two of them saw me, Jiang Dongcheng smiled at me but didn't say anything, while that Xu Wei looked at me indifferently with a bit of anger on his face, and directly said to me. "Give me the Xuan Yin Leaf you got today."
