Chapter 125 Re-entering the Trial Tower

Yan Wei is a junior disciple under Elder Yuqing. She also has a senior sister named Jiang Yin, who is the senior sister of Yuqing Peak that Yan Wei mentioned. Before Lu Fuyue returned, Jiang Yin was ranked tenth on the genius list and was one of the few geniuses in Tianxuan Sect.

If it weren't for Elder Yuqing's sake, she wouldn't have let Yan Wei off so easily today.

After dealing with Yan Wei, Lu Fuyue walked towards the Trial Tower.

The moment she stepped onto the outer perimeter of the Trial Tower, all the discussions and conversations immediately ceased. The older disciples who had seen Lu Fuyue before stared at her in shock, whispering amongst themselves.

"...Senior Sister Lu...she's back?"

"Senior Sister Lu, is she really back?"

Lu Fuyue paused, then walked to the stone tablet in front of the Trial Tower and placed the black jade tablet of the disciple in her arms on it.

Everyone was stunned again when they saw the jade token in her hand. In the Tianxuan Sect, every disciple has a jade token engraved with information. The darker the color of the jade token, the higher the status of the person.

Within the Tianxuan Sect, only the personal disciples of a few elders with profound cultivation and distinguished status are clad in black.

Although Senior Sister Lu fought her way through the sect competition, there was no news that she had taken any elder as her master.

Unexpectedly, she was already Elder Dan's direct disciple.

It seems that their Tianxuan Sect has gained another genius who is skilled in both music and alchemy.

Lu Fuyue didn't notice the changes in these people. When she placed the jade tablet in her hand on the stone tablet engraved with a blue dragon, a golden light flashed instantly, and several lines of words appeared in the air above.

Name: Lu Fuyue.

Identity: Direct disciple of the Alchemy Peak.

Cultivation level: Early stage of Golden Core.

Points: 34,999.

Trial Tower Ranking: 1000 and 110.

At this moment, someone asked in confusion, "Senior Sister Lu, is this trial monument broken? Why isn't it showing your spiritual root?"

Upon hearing this, the others also realized that something was amiss.

The Trial Stele is one of the treasures of their Tianxuan Sect. It can test a cultivator's physique. Everyone who enters the Trial Tower must first place their disciple jade token on it to record some information before they can enter.

Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes; some things couldn't be hidden.

So she secretly circulated her internal energy to release the restrictions on her body. The next second, a blue light shot up from the bottom of the trial monument and into the sky. The cry of a phoenix resounded throughout the entire Tianxuan Sect. The faint phoenix phantom disappeared in an instant, like a fleeting moment, above the trial tower.

The elders of the Heavenly Profound Sect sensed something was wrong and immediately ran out to see what was happening. They witnessed this scene. "This is... the Water Spirit Sacred Body?"

Judging from the direction, the person with the Water Spirit Saint Body is a disciple of their Heavenly Profound Sect. However, every disciple undergoes a physique test upon entering the sect, so it's impossible to miss anyone.

Suddenly they thought of someone, looked at each other, and wondered if it was the sect leader's daughter who had just returned from the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

If that's the case, it would explain why her cultivation level increased so quickly.

After all, with the Water Spirit Saint Body, even without cultivation, spiritual energy would still enter her body. Moreover, the cultivation speed of the Water Spirit Saint Body is several times that of ordinary top-grade spiritual roots.

After the strange phenomenon gradually disappeared, a junior disciple who had just joined the sect stared blankly at Lu Fuyue, "Senior Sister, how come a phoenix appeared on your body?"

The person next to him reacted quickly and smacked him on the forehead. "It's not Senior Sister, it's Martial Uncle. I just told you, have you forgotten again?"

"And that's a phoenix phenomenon, which represents a special physique. Don't embarrass me next time."

The young disciple shrank back, meekly replying, "Yes, Master, I will never dare to do it again."

The white-robed male cultivator with a wine gourd hanging from his waist gave the junior disciple another tap on the head, saying, "You, you, I really misjudged you."

Lu Fuyue then noticed the white-robed male cultivator's presence, "Senior Brother Beichen?"

Bei Chenyuan turned around, reached for the wine flask at his waist, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, then swallowed it, and said indistinctly, "Congratulations, Junior Sister, on breaking through to the Golden Core stage."

Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Your footwork is quite fast."

Bei Chenyuan laughed awkwardly, "Haha, just passing by, just passing by."

Lu Fuyue didn't reply, but just glanced at him indifferently before turning and entering the trial tower.

Bei Chenyuan is Lu Zhengming's second disciple. He is in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and seems simple-minded, but he is actually very good at reading people's expressions.

Although she was Lu Zhengming's daughter, Bei Chenyuan and she never had any feelings for each other.

In his view, a sickly, unloved man who was nearing the end of his life was not worth his effort to please.

So every time I saw him before, the smile in his eyes was just on the surface.

After this happened several times, she began to realize that he was being perfunctory with her.

Bei Chenyuan watched Lu Fuyue's departing figure, wanting to say something, but he swallowed the words back down.

His young disciple looked at him strangely. Master was never like this before. Why was he acting so strangely today?

...

As soon as Lu Fuyue entered the first floor of the Trial Tower, she glanced behind her without thinking, and then stepped directly into the second floor of the Trial Tower.

The demonic beasts on the first level of the Trial Tower were all at the Qi Refining stage. As soon as she stepped into this place, the pressure of the early Golden Core stage was released, and those demonic beasts quickly avoided her.

Except for the last level, the other eight levels of the Trial Tower can be entered as long as the strength is sufficient.

She came here to improve her practical experience and, incidentally, to see which level she could reach.

After Lu Fuyue left, two figures in greyish-white appeared, glancing at each other in the direction she had gone. "Did this girl find out about us?"

"Probably not."

"It's hard to say. I always feel like she knows we exist."

"Should we follow them now?"

"Of course we followed. This girl has a rare Water Spirit Saint Body. Maybe she can enter and avoid the impending calamity."

The second level of the Trial Tower

Lu Fuyue withdrew her aura. As soon as she went up, two Foundation Establishment Peak demonic beasts sleeping deep in the second level sniffed as if they had smelled something delicious, and then suddenly opened their eyes.

At the same time, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts sensed Lu Fuyue's aura and attacked her one after another.

Lu Fuyue remained expressionless. With a wave of her hand, the Weak Water Zither appeared in her hand. Then, she circulated her cultivation technique and played the zither with one hand. As the zither music rang out, the dozen or so Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts that rushed towards her instantly turned to ashes and vanished from the world before they could even react.

She glanced up and saw that the speed at which she killed the monsters was still a bit slow, not fast enough.
