Chapter 479: Taking Down Hua Xuanyin
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At noon the next day.
When people in the main hall gradually began to complain that the Hall Master of the Hundred Flower Hall had yet to appear, the Hall Master of the Hundred Flower Hall suddenly appeared.
Her appearance was still so gentle and beautiful as she walked out of a gorgeous flower bud.
The few people who were complaining just now immediately stopped when they saw this.
“Sorry to keep everyone waiting. The assessment will begin now.” Hua Xuanyin said indifferently.
As soon as she finished speaking, the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Hall in the main hall immediately took action.
They arranged the cultivators who came to participate in the assessment according to the order of registration yesterday. Then, they began to explain the content of the assessment to everyone.
The assessment was divided into three parts.
Firstly, conduct.
Secondly, cultivation.
Thirdly, talent.
Only by passing all three parts could one join the Hundred Spirit Holy Sect.
During this period, as the Hall Master of the Hundred Flower Hall, Hua Xuanyin was a bystander the entire time, leaving all the work related to the assessment to her subordinates.
In this assessment, she only needed to play the role of an invigilator.
She did not need to worry about other work.
It only tests character, cultivation, and talent. Husband, we can definitely join the Hundred Spirit Holy Land.”
Song Huaying said with a face full of smiles.
Be it character, cultivation, or talent, Chen An was top-notch.
Compared to these three aspects, the worst was his character.
However, no matter how bad it was, it was only a little lecherous. It was not a big deal.
“Ying’er, don’t say such things. It’s too jumpy. You have to be more humble.”
Chen An patted Song Huaying’s butt and lectured her.
Song Huaying did not think much of it, but she still smiled obediently and said, “I understand, husband. 1’11 keep a low profile.”
Soon, the first test began.
It was a test of character.
The test method was mainly to drag the tester into an illusion and place the thing he wanted the most in front of him.
However, if he wanted to obtain it, he had to do evil and see what choice the tester would make.
During this test, it would be presented to everyone through spells to show that the process was compliant and reasonable. There was no secret operation to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Chen An’s ranking was a little behind. It would not be his turn to take the test so quickly.
He had nothing to do while waiting, so he watched the test with his family.
This character test required an artifact that could create illusions.
This artifact was a bronze mirror that was filled with an ancient and vicissitude aura. It looked even higher than a holy relic.
As long as one stood in front of the mirror for a moment, they would enter an illusion and be unable to distinguish reality.
Even the great cultivators of the Partial-Immortal Realm were the same. After falling into an illusion, they could not distinguish reality.
The first Great Cultivator to take the test was a local cultivator from the Upper Realm. His cultivation was as high as the late-stage Partial-Immortal Realm.
The content of the illusion was that he had joined the Hundred Flower Holy Land for many years and become the Deacon of the Hundred Flower Hall. He was in charge of supervising the planting of dozens of spirit fields and had more than a hundred servant disciples under him.
With such an identity, this local cultivator from the Upper Realm began to steal from others. He alone had embezzled nearly 30% of the production.
Moreover, he often neglected his duty and liked to rope in his superiors to bully his subordinates.
Not long after, the illusion ended.
Hearing the whispers around him, the local cultivator immediately realized what he had done in the illusion and his expression changed slightly.
Hua Xuanyin, who was in charge of invigilating, sat high on a blooming flower and looked down at the local cultivator below.
“Fellow Cultivator Lin, your performance in the illusion just now did not meet the recruitment requirements of our Hundred Spirit Holy Sect. Please leave.”
“Sigh.”
The local cultivator surnamed Lin shook his head and sighed. Soon, he left the main hall with his family and was escorted out of the Hundred Spirit Holy Land by a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Hall.
After this local cultivator walked far away, many discussions about him immediately sounded in the main hall.
“Tsk tsk, 1 really couldn’t tell. Fellow Cultivator Lin looks honest and honest, but I didn’t expect you to be so greedy behind his back.”
“That’s right. He’s too greedy. He directly coveted nearly 30% of the production. If he was just a little greedy, he wouldn’t have failed the first round.”
“I don’t think a bit of greed will do either. His way of winning over his superiors and bullying his subordinates is too much. It’s not conducive to the unity of the Holy Land.”
Everyone spoke one after another.
Soon, it was the second person’s turn to test.
This time, it was a major cultivator from the Lower Realm.
Moreover, it was one of the few female cultivators.
Her cultivation was as high as the intermediate-stage of Partial-Immortal Realm.
In the test of her illusion, she had also become a Deacon of the Hundred Flowers Hall.
After this female cultivator became the Deacon of the Hundred Flowers Hall, she was as corrupt as the local cultivator with the surname Lin.
However, she was not greedy much. She was only occasionally greedy.
Moreover, under her supervision, the production of the spiritual fields under her jurisdiction far exceeded that of other Deacons.
In short, she was an outstanding Deacon.
However, what was shocking was that this female cultivator’s desire was very strong. She actually developed all the male cultivators under her into gigolos and lived happily in the spiritual field every day.
Such a heaven-defying scene caused the cultivators present to discuss.
It was said that this female cultivator was really loose. Even the demoness who cultivated the Joyous Unification Art had to admit defeat and feel ashamed of her inferiority.
Among them, many male cultivators had thoughts about this female cultivator and wanted to develop a relationship with her in that aspect.
A moment later, the female cultivator escaped from the illusion.
The moment she broke away, she felt sick.
Such an unsightly side was directly exposed under everyone’s eyes. This made her feel very embarrassed. She wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.
Just as everyone thought that this female cultivator wouldn’t be able to pass the test of character, Hua Xuanyin, who was high up on the flower, announced: “Fellow Cultivator Guan, although you’re also corrupt, you’re not greedy. Moreover, under your supervision, the production of the spiritual field far exceeds that of other Deacons, so this little greed is nothing.”
“As for the fact that you’ve developed all the male disciples under you into gigolos, because during this process, you’re not a threat. There’s only benefits and temptation, but it’s also not a big deal.”
“Fellow Cultivator Guan, congratulations on passing the character test.”
The results announced by Hua Xuanyin exceeded the expectations of everyone present. They did not expect that she would actually pass the test.
For a moment, there was a burst of discussion.
Song Huaying was also very surprised by this outcome. He asked with a puzzled voice transmission,
“Husband, can such a character pass?”
“The Hundred Spirit Holy Land’s requirements for character are probably only determined from the interests of the Holy Land. As long as you have the ability and can bring enough benefits to the Holy Land, your personal virtue will almost be harmless.”
Chen An replied.
Song Huaying nodded in realization.
Actually, she also knew this logic, but she deliberately asked this to give her husband a chance to show off in front of his wife.
She knew very well that most men liked weak women.
This was because a weak woman could bring confidence satisfaction to a man.
At the same time, it could also arouse a man’s desire to protect a woman to a certain extent.
As time passed, the candidates went up one after another.
The beginning of each test was the same. The tester became the Deacon of the Hundred Flowers Hall.
Among them, many monsters were born.
A male cultivator who liked to marry others cuckolded more than half of the people in the Hundred Flowers Hall.
Some abused their power and changed the guard dogs in the spirit field to their own ornamental dogs.
In fact, there were even fiendish cultivators who came as spies and cooperated with the fiend sects outside, causing the Hundred Spirit Holy Land to suffer heavy losses.
Before this demonic cultivator could come out of the illusion, he was mercilessly killed by Hua Xuanyin.
Chen An observed every test carefully.
Not to understand the test, but to understand the person who did it.
If he had a good character, he could befriend him appropriately.
On the contrary, those with obvious moral flaws would stay away.
Shuiyi, Qingyan, do the two of you know what level of artifact that mirror is?” Chen An suddenly asked.
He was very curious about the bronze mirror used for testing and wanted to know what artifact it was.
However, Hua Qianyun was not around at this moment, so he could only ask Han Shuiyi and Yin Qingyan.
After all, only the two of them had lived for a long time and were more knowledgeable.
Han Shuiyi and Yin Qingyan were speechless when they heard that. This was an artifact from the Upper Realm. How could they, who came from the Lower Realm, know?
Her husband’s knowledge was too shallow, far inferior to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years.
Perhaps this was the disadvantage of cultivating too quickly.
He lacked accumulation.
With that in mind, the two of them replied almost at the same time.
“Husband, i don’t know.”
“Husband, I’m not sure either.”
Chen An nodded and observed the illusion test again.
In the blink of an eye.
Half a month passed.
After evaluating more than 80 people in a row, it was finally Chen An’s turn.
“Husband, you can do it!”
“Father, you can do it!”
“Husband, you will definitely pass smoothly!”
His wife and daughter cheered Chen An on. They were very virtuous and filial.
Chen An smiled at them and turned to walk towards the bronze mirror used for the assessment.
A female disciple of the Hundred Flowers Hall beside the bronze mirror asked,
“Fellow Cultivator Chen, are you ready?”
“I’m ready.”
Chen An nodded and replied.
Hearing this, the female disciple lifted the red cloth covering the bronze mirror and let him enter the illusion.
The beginning of the illusion was the same as the 80-odd testers before. They all became a Deacon of the Hundred Flowers Hall.
Chen An performed very well. He was not greedy at all and never bullied his subordinates.
He would occasionally give his superiors gifts.
However, it was just pure appreciation and he had never made any requests to the higher-ups.
It was the best performance so far.
“Fellow Cultivator Chen, you’re really a role model for us. You’re worth learning from.”
“I’ve never seen a Saint like Fellow Cultivator Chen in my hundred thousand years of life.”
“Fellow Cultivator Chen, I’m ashamed of my inferiority.”
After seeing Chen An’s performance in the illusion, everyone present could not help but praise him.
Even Hua Xuanyin, who had never looked at a tester in the eye, treated Chen An with respect and had a good impression of him.
Seeing that everyone was praising Chen An, Song Huaying and the others were all proud.
However, just as everyone was evaluating Chen An highly, Chen An, who was in the illusion, suddenly gave everyone a big scare. He looked at Hua Xuanyin, who had come to inspect from afar, and muttered with longing in his eyes,
“Hall Master Hua is really too beautiful. I have to take her in as my concubine, suppress her under me, and dote on her. I have to let her carry on my family line.”
