Chapter 526: Chapter 291: Advancement to the Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit

In a courtyard on the Ninth Peak, where the Spiritual Qi was rich thanks to an Array.

A tall woman sat on a tree, her fair, long legs on full display.

She leaned back, looking somewhat languid.

"The three prodigies of the Ji Family have all gone in," Qi Xi, who was standing under the tree with her hair in pigtails, said with a smile. "Isn’t Senior Sister Miao going to do something now?"

"Me?" Miao Yulin looked down at the girl below her. "What is there for me to do?"

"Senior Sister Miao must have a mission too, right?" Qi Xi asked.

"Yes, but I’m not in a hurry. I want to see what his Cultivation is, and then see how fast he advances," Miao Yulin said with a smile. "If he’s too ordinary, I’ll make my move to see if he’s hiding his Cultivation or has some trump cards."

"And what if he advances quickly?" Qi Xi inquired.

"Advances quickly?" Miao Yulin looked down at her legs. "What do you think of my legs?"

"You’re going to seduce him with your legs?" Qi Xi asked in shock, staring at the other woman’s long, fair legs.

"Who said I was going to seduce him? But everyone appreciates beauty. If I show my legs, do you think he might sneak a peek?" Miao Yulin said with a playful smile. "And if he does, what do you think that Ji Meng will do when she notices?"

"Try to have you killed?" Qi Xi asked.

"If she can actually kill me, then she’s truly capable. But I won’t have done anything. I’ll just have shown a little leg. How is that a capital offense? Besides, all he did was look at someone else’s legs. How is that an unforgivable sin?" Miao Yulin asked.

Qi Xi hesitated for a moment. "But that Ji Meng definitely isn’t the forgiving type. She’ll have to find someone to blame, right?"

"And she’ll blame me for that?" Miao Yulin shrugged. "Then I’ll just have to count myself unlucky. Besides, my mission is to test their relationship. I won’t have done a thing—I just happen to like wearing shorter Immortal Skirts.

"It doesn’t matter. She can do whatever she wants to me.

"She won’t be able to deny that the problem lies with her fiancé."

With that, Miao Yulin looked at Qi Xi. "What’s your mission?"

"Just to observe them. And if it becomes absolutely necessary, I can help Jiang Man to make sure he doesn’t die," Qi Xi said.

’In truth, she didn’t know the specific reason why, but as long as she completed her mission, that was all that mattered.’

"Your mission is pretty simple, then," Miao Yulin said with a smile. "Mine is more complicated, but also more interesting. I’m just worried he won’t be worth all the trouble.

"Also, what do you think Ji An’s objective is?"

Qi Xi shook her head. "This is the first time I’ve met him, but I feel like he knows more than we do, and what he’s trying to do is more complex than our missions."

Miao Yulin smiled. "If I were to use these long legs to seduce him, do you think it would work?"

"No. He isn’t like Jiang Man, who comes from some remote village and hasn’t seen the world," Qi Xi said with certainty.

"What was the first Magic Skill you learned after reaching the Primordial Spirit realm?" Miao Yulin asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Qi Xi lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed.

Miao Yulin laughed out loud. "So it *is* possible. But that’s all for later. No need to rush. In our courtyard, I plan on being the most dazzling one."

"Have you thought about the consequences if you fail?" Qi Xi asked.

"Certain death, of course. You didn’t really think this mission of mine came without any risk to my life, did you?" Miao Yulin said with a playful smile. "The Ji Family, the Bai Family, my family, and the Ji Family... do you really think they care about a marriage alliance with a Side Branch? This Jiang Man, just how much Talent can one person have? Reaching the Primordial Spirit realm at thirty? Returning Void at forty?

"Even if he’s that fast—Returning Void at thirty, reaching the Ascension Platform at forty—so what?

"Can he block a single palm strike from an Immortal?

"If he could really reach the Ascension Platform at forty, the great families wouldn’t be testing and observing him.

"They would have either tried to recruit him long ago, or the more ruthless ones would already be plotting to destroy him in secret.

"Of course, the Immortal Sect would intervene, but someone would definitely find a way to bind him to them.

"Someone would inevitably tailor a scheme just for him, a trap he’d be forced to jump into.

"It’s unavoidable.

"Unless he understands the wisdom of hiding his strengths and biding his time.

"From all this, we can deduce that the current problem isn’t about their Talent.

"But rather..."

Miao Yulin gave a slight smile. "Their identities."

Leaning against the tree, Miao Yulin said, "Their identities are suspect. That’s why they need to be observed and tested. And it’s why your mission is to keep him alive."

Qi Xi was rather shocked.

Then she looked up at the woman in the tree, confused. "You don’t have an escape plan?"

At this, Miao Yulin shrugged. "Who knows? But I’m also very curious about what their identities really are. I wonder if I’ll be able to dig up the truth."

「The next day.」

Jiang Man and the others arrived at the Magic Courtyard on the Ninth Peak. Their small group’s first official lesson was to learn Magic Skills here.

For now, only the members of their small group were present.

Jiang Man hadn’t expected that the first thing they would learn in the Inner Sect was Magic Skills.

But while waiting for the Instructor to arrive, he began to observe the changes in his body.

After taking the poison yesterday, he had immediately started his Cultivation.

Now, he could feel a problem with the power of his Evil God’s Technique.

But it hadn’t affected his physical foundation.

He just needed to be extremely careful.

’Eight hundred thousand Spiritual Source... I still have to go for it.’

’It’s just too much to pass up.’

Since he’d taken the Spiritual Source, he naturally had to do the job. So, he frequently took out the black bead and circulated his Spiritual Qi, allowing it to sense his condition.

This was to let his employer know their one million hadn’t been spent in vain.

At that moment, a woman who looked to be in her thirties entered the courtyard. She did a quick headcount and said, "Are six people missing?"

"Yes. They got into a fight yesterday and were taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall," Ji An explained with a smile.

"Yesterday?" The Instructor was stunned for a moment. "Six Primordial Spirit experts fought yesterday?"

Everyone nodded.

The Instructor was silent for a moment before asking, "Where did they rank within your group? Was the top-ranked person among them?"
