"It seems the land of Kyushu is nothing special."
Deep in an unnamed mountain range.
The immortal god glanced at the contents of the golden list and let out a contemptuous sneer.
It fully displays an attitude of looking down on others.
They completely disregarded the people of the Nine Provinces.
"However, now that this era of great strife has begun, it is only right that I make my appearance."
"Otherwise, wouldn't this grand era lose some of its charm?"
Muttering to himself.
The god of immortality smiled knowingly.
Chapter 72 Imperial Sword Manor
The figure had vanished without a trace.
.........
Inside the Imperial Sword Manor.
"It is said that the Heavenly Path Golden List will bestow corresponding elixirs or other rewards upon those who are listed, based on their needs."
"In that case, there might be hope for my injuries to heal."
Yin Zhong withdrew his gaze from the horizon.
While muttering to himself.
Suddenly, memories of the past flashed in his eyes, and a look of resentment crossed his face.
He clenched his fists, his face filled with resentment.
"Long Teng, it's time to settle the score for what happened back then!"
136 - Kyushu Hundred Flowers Ranking - (tied) 49th place!
Yunzhou, Wushuang City.
"The one on the list is actually the Imperial Tutor of the Great Yuan Dynasty."
"It seems that I, the city lord, need not worry about my identity being exposed for the time being."
Dugu Yifang stared at the contents of the list of successful candidates.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he possessed the cultivation level of the mid-stage Celestial Realm.
But he knew perfectly well what was going on.
In terms of actual combat strength.
It is not yet sufficient to contend with the late stage of the Celestial-Human Realm.
Moreover, the other party is the imperial tutor of the dynasty.
You can tell it's extraordinary just by listening to it!
.........
Qinglong Peak, Qinglong Manor.
In the small courtyard with bamboo fence.
Xi Menyu sat upright on the stone bench.
He glanced briefly at the golden list in the void before looking away.
He casually accepted the fragrant tea offered by Baoqin.
The sounds of Jiang Yuyan and Wang Yuyan playing the zither filled the courtyard.
Ximen Yu leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed with a faint smile in his eyes.
Light footsteps approached from afar.
Sun Xiaohong strode into the courtyard and bowed her head in greeting.
"Little Red has met the Great Dragon Head."
"What is it?" Ximen Yu asked calmly.
"News has come from the Ming Dynasty: Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect, is requesting reinforcements."
“He is willing to exchange the secrets of the blessed land for it,” Sun Xiaohong reported truthfully.
But a question lingered in his mind.
Even top-tier powers might not know about blessed lands and grotto-heavens, so how did Yue Buqun find out?
But this was no small matter, and she dared not delay.
Ximen Yu paused slightly, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
After a moment's hesitation, he said calmly, "Then I'll help him this once."
"Yes!" Sun Xiaohong replied respectfully and then withdrew.
As for whether Yue Buqun's words were true or false, neither of them cared.
If he dares to deceive us, the Azure Dragon Society can both protect him and eliminate him!
Sun Xiaohong left not long ago.
Ximen Yu was listening quietly to Jiang Yuyan and the others playing the zither when suddenly his brows furrowed and he looked up at the sky.
The Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking suddenly burst into glory.
The text beside the list gleamed, with lines of small print slowly emerging.
[Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking - (tied) 49th, Yi Lin, cultivation level: second-rate.]
[Identity: Disciple of the Hengshan Sect.]
Though she remained unknown, she possessed a pure and innocent heart.
[Innocent and carefree, compassionate, as clear as a spring, as pure as snow.]
There are many beautiful women in the world, but few are as pure and innocent as she.
What's most admirable is that she always firmly believes in good intentions and remains true to her original aspirations!
Even when deeply mired in hardship, her belief remained steadfast.
This unwavering resolve always helped her turn danger into safety and avert crises.
Her faith came from the heart, pure and natural, without any pretense.
[Or rather, it wasn't religion that shaped her, but rather that the spirit of religion happened to resonate with her nature.]
[Heaven's assessment: Born with innate wisdom, possessing abundant spiritual energy.]
[Bestowed by Heaven: Youth-Preserving Pill (Consuming this pill can maintain eternal youth)]
..........
[Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking - (tied) 49th - Qu Feiyan, Cultivation: First-class.]
[Identity: Daughter of Elder Qu Yang.]
Although only fifteen years old, his talent and intelligence are exceptional.
Looking across the entire land, there are very few women who can compare to her.
Its quirky and mischievous nature surpasses its intelligence.
Though surrounded by chaos, she remains pure and untainted like a lotus, vibrant and innocent, a clear spring in a turbid world...
[Tian Dao's assessment: A female Zhuge Liang, no less capable than any man.]
[Bestowed by Heaven: Youth-Preserving Pill (Consuming this pill can maintain eternal youth)]
..........
As the list of the most beautiful flowers is announced.
Two hazy figures slowly emerged.
The woman on the left is wearing a plain robe.
The coarse cloth could not conceal her elegant appearance.
Her eyes, like autumn waters, held a deep sorrow.
Compassion and gentleness flow through it.
It makes one feel sorry for them.
Qu Feiyan stood to its side.
The girl's youthful face was radiant with intelligence.
The slightly rounded cheeks do not appear bloated at all.
It makes one want to gently pinch and play with it.
His dark eyes darted around.
A cunning glint appeared in his eyes.
She was a very clever and quirky girl.
"My goodness! Master Yilin looks so beautiful, I just want to hold her in my arms and cherish her!"
"With such beauty and grace, why become a nun? Would you rather return to secular life? I'd be willing to care for you for the rest of my life!"
"Her pure and innocent nature is so irresistible! I want to marry her!"
"Qu Yatou is so adorable! Her cleverness is simply irresistible!"
"Wake up, everyone! She's a female Zhuge Liang; this is a deep and complex situation. Let this old man handle it."
"I am ashamed to admit that my lack of passion makes me seem out of place among you all."
..........
The moment the image appeared, the entire land of Kyushu erupted in excitement.
Whether they were young talents in the martial arts world or older martial artists, greed flashed in their eyes.
The previous Yue Lingshan reminded people of the girl next door, but the current Yilin and Qu Feiyan have shaken everyone's hearts.
Their distinctly different temperaments are captivating, not only enchanting men but also inspiring envy and self-consciousness in countless women.
"Rejuvenation Pill?"
"After a year of seclusion, the world has undergone tremendous changes."
"The Hundred Flowers Ranking? Ha..."
"That saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one!"
Stone Guanyin gazed at the sky, her cold smile tinged with jealousy and a chilling murderous intent.
With a flick of her long sleeves, she vanished instantly, heading straight for the Central Plains.
The Great Tang Dynasty, Fengxuan Pavilion.
"Another youth-preserving pill?"
"Could it be that all those listed on the Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking can obtain this item?"
Wu Zetian stared at the list of successful candidates for a moment, muttered to herself, and the fervor in her eyes lessened slightly.
She has always been very confident in her appearance.
The Great Ming Dynasty, Hengshan School.
"Yilin is on the list too?"
"This is bad. Could it be that my Hengshan Sect is going to follow in the footsteps of Huashan?"
