The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 384 Completion Of The 5th Level S Rank Trial (1)

Ji Yuan and his group now found themselves in a brightly lit chamber with three portals.

Yu Jingjing was gasping with shock, "How did Ji Yuan know that this will work?"

Qin Shuang was also gasping with astonishment, "I can't believe that I can complete an S Rank Trial on the 5th level…"

Xiao Muhan muttered, "He is only good in guessing. It is just blind luck."

Ling Feiyue said weakly to the maidens in her party, "Luckily this time I did not doubt him."

Shui Xisi muttered weakly, "You did…"

"No I did not." Ling Feiyue protested.

Little Princess asked Ji Yuan curiously, "My lord, how did you manage to deduct that this will work?"

"Don't give us any of that genius cultivator stuff." Ling Feiyue added with a soft giggle.

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "I've thought that this trial is already unusual hard and yet we're expected to complete it three times in a row. Moreover, the black stele did not say that only one 404 is allowed. So I've thought of trying it."

Yu Jingjing interrupted curiously, "Surely the others will try it, am I right?"

Ji Yuan chuckled, "Maybe not. It is because no one wants to lose their precious Escape Talisman if they are given a choice."

Feng Minyue nodded, "People are selfish so they probably won't even try. Look at the cultivators in our Green Faction and you can see."

"Although they are willing to accept Ji Yuan as the leader but in their hearts they still mistrust him." Bai Qianfeng agreed.

Even Yun Chi was forced to agree, "That is why these cultivators have to resort to getting the first timers into the Red Mansion so as to make use of them. I didn't think that there may be a hidden loophole to overcome this trial. But this requires trust or it won't work."

Ji Yuan nodded, "Luckily, I have my trusted friends here."

Yun Chi averted her eyes, "We're not friends."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

A voice had suddenly thundered above them, "You have completed the trial and will receive your due reward."

Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue were all overjoyed.

Even Qin Shuang, Xiao Muhan and Yun Chi were smiling.

Ji Yuan laughed, "Now it is our turn to pick one of the three portals."

"What three portals? I've only seen two." Xiao Muhan frowned.

"Same here." Qin Shuang quietly said. "But it seems because we've only completed our first trial on the 5th level so we still got one more to go."

The trial spirit thundered, "That's right. Only those that are able to go to the 6th level will be able to see the third portal."

Ji Yuan patted Xiao Muhan before saying, "Sorry bro. You're out of luck. Hopefully you are able to overcome the next trial on the 5th level. I'm sorry that I won't be around to help you because I'm going to the 6th level now. Haha."

Xiao Muhan frowned, "I'm actually glad to get rid of you, bro."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan turned to Yun Chi to ask, "You can see the third portal too?"

Yun Chi smiled, "Yes, I can."

The trial spirit thundered again, "Ji Yuan, you're the first cultivator to have completed the trial as well as the first one to exploit the secret vulnerability of this trial. Therefore you will get a rich reward."

Ji Yuan was pleased, "Haha. I'm the first? What a surprise. I really didn't expect it."

The trial spirit continued, "You can now choose the green portal to go to the next level, yellow portal to remain in stasis until the entire Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth is over or the blue portal to remain in the 5th level.

Ji Yuan said, "I will be going to the 6th level."

Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue were all nodding excitingly in eager anticipation for the 6th level.

Yun Chi suddenly said to Ji Yuan, "I'm going to the 6th level as well. We probably won't be meeting again so all the best wishes to you."

Ji Yuan chuckled, "You won't know for sure if we will be able to meet or not."

Yun Chi said firmly, "We won't be."

Ji Yuan thought; Is it because you will soon be resuming the identity of the Death God Mingwang…

Yun Chi began to take a broad stride toward the green portal before she smiled, "Farewell everyone. All the best to all of you."

All the maidens did not reply to her except for Xiao Muhan who said, "Hope to see you soon. All the best to you too!"

The rest of the maidens know that Yun Chi was being sarcastic when she had said that.

Ji Yuan suddenly said to Yun Chi, "May I speak with you for a second."

Yun Chi paused for a while before she nodded.

Ji Yuan said with a relief, "Then shall we go over to that corner to talk?"

Yun Chi smiled wryly, "Are you sure? Can't you talk here? Be careful that the maidens that are with you will be jealous of me."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Of course not."

"I am jealous." Shui Xisi giggled.

"Me too!" All the other maidens giggled at the same time except for Feng Minyue and Qin Shuang.

"I am also jealous." Xiao Muhan frowned. "Surely you're not thinking of declaring your love for Maiden Yun Chi? You've already such a huge harem. Surely you can stop here."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "It is not what all of you think it is."

Yun Chi said quietly, "Alright, be quick about it. I'm actually in a hurry."

Ji Yuan muttered weakly as he pointed at a corner, "It will be a quick one, don't worry. Come, let's go over that corner first."

Yun Chi nodded as she began to follow Ji Yuan to the corner.
