Chapter 1468: Invitation to Join
Chapter 1467 â Invitation to Join
Qikun wasnât frustrated at all â he did hear about some smaller sects all kept a lower profile regarding their mentors when coming to the common world- different from noble houses who had not a care for the world.
The people who come out of these sects- unless the person was a son of the elder or a major disciple- were rather careful outside, and rarely cocky. Lin Yi must be one of those.
âThanks for understanding!â Lin Yi gave a smile that indicated that theyâve come to an understanding as he raised his pot and drank from it.
âAlright, nice!â Qikun and Qijiu did the same and put down the pots.
The skewers and lamb legs were still taking a while, but the three didnât mind.
They didnât come here to eat, after all, they came here to make connections- while Lin Yi was here to get information.
âYou two sure are early for the test.â Lin Yi intentionally moved the topic to the Ice Palace, wanting to learn more about it.
âHaha, Brother Ling was faster, right?â Qikun smiled. âYou must be the first one who arrived.â
âYeahâŠâ Lin Yi shrugged helplessly. âNothing I can do, my shifu chose to go into isolated practitioning just before that, and thereâs no point staying in the sect either, so I might as well come first.â
Lin Yi instantly addressed his identity- because of this, heâd be able to say his shifu didnât tell him anything because of the isolation whenever there was something he didnât know. Qikun wouldnât suspect him then.
âOh? What a coincidence then, my grandpa is in isolated practitioning as well, so we might as well depart first.â Qikun looked at Lin Yi, surprised. âBrother Ling, this is quite a fateful encounter!â
âOh? You guys too? What a coincidence, indeed!â Lin Yi smiled- seemed like heâd gotten the right route. He wouldnât be suspected now for sure.
âYeah- weâve come from far away to meet here by fate!â Qikun smiled. âWhat strength level are you, Brother Ling if you donât mind me asking? The test requires the participant this time to be Mystic or higher- what phase are you in?â
Qikun was worried Lin Yi might hide his strength, so he intentionally told him of the requirements, that everyone here was a Mystic anyway, so there was no reason to worry! It was just in case Lin Yi didnât know about this since even he himself didnât know much.
âIâm not too strong- just Mystic mid-phase peak.â Lin Yi smiled bitterly. âItâs a bit complicated back in my sect- the ones near my age are all Earth class, and the ones who came after are all Golden- Iâm pretty much the only one who meets the requirements!
Lin Yi only told the truth about his strength- everything else he made up on the spot. It suited the situation as well.
âI see, so thatâs why you were alone, Brother LingâŠâ QIkun said that, but in his heart, he was thinking how Lin YIâs sect wasnât one to be underestimated- even the younger generation was Earth class! With that thought, he decided to get closer to Lin Yi even more.
And Lin Yi, naturally, wanted that misunderstanding to happen in the first place.
âYeah- what strength level are you two, brothers?; Lin Yi already knew it but decided to ask for surface purposes.
âIâm Mystic mid-phase peak, same as you- Jiu is Mystic late phase, a bit stronger than us.â QIkun was a bit gleeful when bringing up Qijiu- this was his trump card after all since the requirements peaked at Mystic- and Qijiu was Mystic late phase! Their advantage over the others was clear.
âThen you two must have quite some confidence in this test, right?â Lin Yi continued pressing on.
âNot true- there might be late phase peak fighters after all.â Qikun smiled faintly. âPlus, we donât know what the method of testing this time is, too- weâll have to wait for the Ice Palace people to arriveâŠâ
âYouâre right- but you two are still at the front, even if youâre not at the top. Thereâs no need to worry.â Lin Yi continued. âRight, have you guys gone into the Ice Palace sect before?â
âNobody can- Ling Bro, it seems like you really donât know about this. Well, itâs true that the elders and masters donât tell you about all this until after the invitation.â Qikun was the same as well, though he was sure he knew more than Lin Yi. âNobody has seen the Ice Palace sect before; itâs all our first time!â
âWhere is it then? Could it be somewhere near here?â Lin Yi asked.
âYes, itâs right there!â Qikun pointed in a direction. âI know a general position, but Iâve never gone there before- weâd have to pass the test first; not anyone can just enter a place like that. They are different from us noble houses or normal sects, after all- theyâre ancient sects!â
So it was an ancient sect! Lin Yi kept that in mind- though, it was a bit worrying that the guy pointed in the direction of where the fire spirit fruit was- that was the north! Why would the Ice Palace be there?
In Lijuâs description, it was a place completely void of life, and if there were a sect there, Liju must have at least mentioned it⊠But then, it had been a long time since then-! With the time that had passed, it wasnât too big of a surprise that a sect had been formed there!
But if that were the case, it would be much harder for him to find the fruit now! IF that place really was where the sect was, then the fruit would have already been discovered already- he wouldnât be able to go take it if the Ice Palace didnât allow him to!
He couldnât help but frown- he thought that finding the location would be the toughest challenge, but it seemed like the sect had taken that role!
âI wonder if I canât do it this timeâŠâ Lin Yi said, worried. This was his true emotion, too.
As a result, Qikun thought that Lin Yi really was worrying. However, he tried to console him intentionally, âAnyone would want to make it if they came here, after all- the number of outer disciples theyâre accepting was limited, and the treasure exchange isnât easy to get either, so⊠I wonder if you had any intention to team up, Brother Ling?â
