Chapter 93 - a.s.sessment Grounds

Bai Rouyun stood on top of a large hill, looking at the snakes of people who were leaving the Canglan City in an attempt at going towards the location of the a.s.sessment for the Blue Water Inst.i.tute.

The Blue Water Inst.i.tute was located within Canglan City, but they couldn't host the a.s.sessment on their own premises, as more than twenty thousand cultivators would show up every year.

Blue Water Inst.i.tute had five cla.s.ses, first were for the Acquired Realm, Sky Tier. The second was for the Acquired Realm, Heaven Tier, third was for the Innate Realm, Red Tier, fourth was for the Innate Realm, Orange Tier, and the last cla.s.s was for the Innate Realm, Yellow Tier.

When one reached the Yellow Tier, they could apply for graduation, or they could further their studies at the more upscale inst.i.tutes and academies, or become a teacher or dean at the Blue Water Inst.i.tute.

Most chose to become a teacher, as they would be quite old when they reached this goal, and it was clear that their talent could not handle studying at another academy or inst.i.tute.

Although the Blue Water Inst.i.tute was amongst the weakest in the entire continent, it was still well known amongst the commoners, because this was one of the few places that allowed those without a background to come and train.

The only thing that was required to apply for a position at the inst.i.tute was a cultivation base at the Acquired Realm, Sky Tier and above.

Of course, the inst.i.tute would fill the spots with the strongest experts, so it was quite rare that there were any Acquired Realm, Sky Tier experts who got picked, most of the time, they were Acquired Realm, Heaven Tier.

There were also always a few Innate Realm experts who came to attend the trial and instantly got a spot for the new year.

Bai Rouyun squinted her eyes as she stood on the hill. The wind was blowing behind her, making her fairy-like white dress fluttering in the wind, and her hair, which was tied in a ponytail on top of her head, was also swaying.

She looked as attractive as always. Everyone who put their eyes on her would be unable to withdraw them; some might even lose their soul to her beauty.

But right now, not many had the time to look up at the small hill. They were all heading straight to the a.s.sessment grounds; all of them were eager to try their best.

Bai Rouyun smiled and elegantly began moving down the hill, following the groups of people towards the a.s.sessment grounds. Although she did not have to take the a.s.sessment, she still needed to enroll.

She had today left Little Chu at home. Little Chu happened to have brought a mountain of gold and essence stones with him, so it had been simple to buy a mansion and servants to look after the Fire Horse and their temporary home.

Bai Rouyun had not needed to pay even the slightest coin for it, and she could not help but smile as she stretched lazily.

She had initially planned on selling the Marrow-Cleansing Pill at an auction with the Thousand Treasure Pavilion before the a.s.sessment, but it had been delayed. As Little Chu had said, it was better to wait for the s.h.i.+tian Tower to spread them first, and then sell theirs after the s.h.i.+tian had sold at least one.

If the first Marrow-Cleansing Pill came from her, then she would be a much bigger target than if the s.h.i.+tian Tower had shown the pills first.

Bai Rouyun had to admit that Little Chu made sense. And since he had brought mountains of wealth, she was not in a hurry to earn money either.

As she reached the road, she found that many started noticing her, and their eyes turned confused and shocked. How could such an attractive woman exist?

Bai Rouyun was by now used to the many glances sent her way, so she held her graceful smile on her lips as she began slowly moving towards the a.s.sessment ground like a fairy, no one could ignore her.

But when they examined her, many of them could not help but frown. Such a beauty, she was clearly like those immortals in the sky, but her cultivation base was merely at the Acquired Realm, Sky Tier.

This meant that she was actually not very talented. Her talent could only be considered as average, and indeed amongst the weakest of those who were walking towards the a.s.sessment grounds. Still, even so, her face was not holding any nervousness, only the graceful smile showed that she was in a good mood.

While all the men hoped for a miracle so that she would be admitted to the school due to her beauty, the women were looking at her with disdain. She might be beautiful, but her talent was nothing to care about. She was not going to pa.s.s, so they ignored her.

Bai Rouyun was ultimately not putting anyone in her eyes. As always, she had complete faith in her own ability to escape, should something unexpected happen.

Soon they reached the a.s.sessment ground, and there were two queues. One was long, and most people went there, while the other queue was shorter, almost no one in it.

Bai Rouyun went for the short queue, and while some of the men wanted to come forward to stop her, the women snickered and laughed at her for thinking herself so important that she could enter the queue for those who already had been given a spot.

"Miss, this queue is not for you," a young man suddenly said as he looked at Bai Rouyun, but she just smiled. "Thank you for your kindness, but this is the queue I need to take," Bai Rouyun said, as she pulled out the invitation card from the Primal Chaos Dimension.
