Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

253. Chapter 253 Fairy Gate Test!

Liu Zimo turned his gaze to Liu Yun.

Whether he goes or not, it doesn't really matter to him.

After all, he is a wanderer without a fixed residence, so it doesn't make a difference to him wherever he goes in a larger Transcendence realm.

But this Liu Yun girl is the genius he has high hopes for. If possible, Liu Zimo certainly doesn't want anything unexpected to happen to her.

After all, someone with such a rare single attribute like her exceptional water spirit root is not easy to come by.

Now that he has finally bound one, if she were to perish easily, it would be a huge loss for Liu Zimo.

"I'm not going!"

Liu Yun firmly spoke up, directly rejecting the proposal from the old mountain elder.

"Grandfather, the trouble was caused by me. How can I just leave like that?"

"If I leave, what will happen to the people from Cuijia Fort who come to cause trouble? What about the villagers in the village?"

Liu Sheng was seriously injured, and many of the young and strong villagers in the village were also injured in the previous fight.

If she, the peak Body Refining cultivator, were to leave, how could the Liu family stronghold withstand a second attack from Cuijia Fort?

"Why are you so stubborn, girl?"

The old mountain elder looked at his granddaughter speechlessly and said earnestly,

"Staying here and not leaving is the biggest source of trouble for our Liu family stronghold."

"Think about it, you are the one who injured the peak Body Refining cultivator from Cuijia Fort. If you continue to stay here, Cuijia Fort will not let it go easily. They will come every day to provoke and cause trouble for us."

"On the contrary, if you leave, they won't be able to find the main culprit. Over time, they will naturally give up!"

Liu Yun raised her head and looked at the old mountain elder with suspicion.

"Is that really the case, grandfather? You're not deliberately deceiving me, are you?"

"You child, you don't even believe your grandfather's words. When has your grandfather ever lied to you?"

The old mountain elder glared and reprimanded in a low voice,

"This matter is not up for discussion. Even if it's not for yourself, but for the more than two hundred villagers in our Liu family stronghold, you must leave tonight!"

After speaking, the old mountain elder saw Liu Zimo standing beside him, looking at him with a playful expression, and couldn't help but give Liu Zimo a signal with his eyes.

"Young Master Liu, you are an honest person. If Yun'er follows you, I can feel more at ease."

"So, I will rely on you next, whether you take her to your village or find a place nearby, just find a place for her to settle down temporarily!"

Saying that, the old mountain elder reached into his pocket and took out a few taels of silver, handing them to Liu Zimo.

Obviously, he completely trusted Liu Zimo in his heart, which is why he made this request.

After all, Liu Zimo was willing to give the spiritual fruit bestowed by the immortal to Liu Yun as a token of gratitude. His character is definitely not a problem.

The old mountain elder's request is not much, just hoping that Liu Zimo can take his granddaughter out of this mountain nest and away from Cuijia Fort.

In any case, as long as they can survive, it's good enough!

"Old mountain elder, is there really no other way?"

Liu Zimo didn't rush to take the silver handed over by the old mountain, but asked softly,

"Is Cuijia Fort really that terrifying?"

Ah!

Upon hearing Liu Zimo's words, the old mountain elder let out a long sigh and said,

"Young Master Liu is not from our side, so it's normal that you haven't heard of the reputation of Cuijia Fort."

"At our place, the Cui Family Fortress is truly untouchable."

"The head of the Cui Family, Cui Jinghao, not only has an excellent relationship with the county officials, but his younger sister, Cui Lixue, joined the nearby Qingyun Immortal Sect twenty years ago. She is not someone that we ordinary folks can provoke!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo nodded slightly.

It seems that the biggest reliance of the Cui Family Fortress should be Cui Lixue, who joined the Immortal Sect.

However, despite joining the Immortal Sect twenty years ago, the Cui Family Fortress is still struggling on their original small plot of land, surviving by plundering the winter grain of nearby villages every year. It's quite lowly.

If nothing unexpected happens, Cui Lixue's situation in the Qingyun Immortal Sect is probably not very good.

Otherwise, even if she doesn't achieve immortality or ascend to heaven, she should at least make her own family live better and become stronger.

But when Liu Zimo saw Cui Jizu earlier, he was already in his twenties and hadn't even reached the peak of Body Refining.

The other party's cultivation talent is not high, which is one reason, but the lack of sufficient resources is not the main reason.

In Liu Zimo's view, even a pig, as long as it has enough natural treasures, can become extremely powerful in a short period of time.

Cui Jizu is not even at the peak of Body Refining, which shows that the cultivation resources possessed by the Cui Family are not as abundant as imagined.

Otherwise, with treasures like the Dragon Scale Fruit, a few of them could easily push a person's cultivation to the peak of Body Refining.

From this, it can be seen that Cui Lixue's situation in the Qingyun Immortal Sect is probably not that great.

She only has the title of being a disciple of the Immortal Sect!

"I see that Miss Yun seems to have excellent talent as well. Why didn't you let her try to join the Immortal Sect?" Liu Zimo asked, voicing his doubts.

Previously, the old mountain master could easily determine that he was an ordinary person without any cultivation. It was clear that he had some knowledge and ability.

Why didn't he send his granddaughter, who has such outstanding cultivation talent, to the Immortal Sect to seek immortality and enlightenment?

The old mountain master shook his head helplessly.

"If it's possible, of course I would also want Yun'er to join the Immortal Sect. It's a chance to ascend to heaven in one step!"

"However, the entrance test for the Qingyun Immortal Sect is only held once every ten years, and ordinary people who want to participate need to pay a registration fee of at least one low-grade spirit crystal!"

"Although, if you pass the test, this registration fee can be directly refunded or reduced. But one low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred taels of silver. Even if our Liu Family Village saves up for ten years, we still won't have enough!"

"Moreover, if Yun'er fails the test, that one low-grade spirit stone would be wasted. We can't afford such a loss for the entire Liu Family Village."

"I can't let the entire village suffer because of my own selfishness..."

One word.

Poor.

If they didn't have full confidence, ordinary people like them wouldn't dare to gamble with one hundred taels of silver.

This is the tragedy of living as lower-class people. They clearly have talent, but because of a small threshold, they have to stop and sigh.

However, it's just one low-grade spirit stone. For Liu Zimo now, it's nothing, right?

Previously, he had received a share of over a thousand low-grade spirit stones and over a hundred middle-grade spirit stones from Ouyang Xinxin. They are currently stored in the Eastern Pearl.

"May I ask, when was the most recent entrance test for the Immortal Sect?" Liu Zimo asked, his curiosity piqued.

After reaching the Transcendence Realm, he naturally wanted to experience the charm of the cultivation sects in this realm.

Moreover, there are many cultivators in the sects, and most of them have outstanding talents.

He can also take the opportunity to bind more "good brothers" and "good sisters" of good quality to rapidly improve his cultivation realm.

Now, he has a total of one thousand binding slots, but he has only used four so far.

The old mountain master was taken aback, not quite understanding Liu Zimo's meaning, but still answered:

"The most recent entrance test for the Immortal Sect was..."

"When Yun'er was three years old, the Qingyun Immortal Sect had already held a sect test. However, Yun'er was too young and did not meet the minimum age requirement to participate in the test."

"Now, Yun'er is already thirteen years old, and another ten-year period is approaching."

"I remember that the previous sect tests were always held in the second month after the beginning of autumn. There should only be a few days left!"

"Why did the Cui family attack the Liu family at this time? It's not only because the Liu family just finished their autumn harvest and stored all the grains, but more importantly, the ten-year sect test is about to begin."

"The Cui family also wants to accumulate more silver to buy low-grade spirit stones, so that the young members of the family have the opportunity to participate in this sect test."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo's eyes lit up. The timing was just right.

"This is truly a coincidence!"

Liu Zimo reached into his pocket and pretended to take out two low-grade spirit stones. He looked at the old mountain elder and said, "Previously, in the Ascension Realm, the immortal elder said that I had great potential. Besides giving me a spirit fruit, he also gave me two low-grade spirit stones to participate in the upcoming sect test."

"Now that the sect test is approaching, and Yun'er must leave the Liu family, why not let her accompany me to participate in this year's sect test?"

"If Yun'er can pass the sect test and be accepted into the Qingyun Immortal Sect, then the matter of the Cui family attacking the Liu family would no longer be a concern!"

Upon hearing this, the old mountain elder and Liu Yun both widened their eyes and stared at the two low-grade spirit stones emitting enticing spiritual power in Liu Zimo's hand.

Is this Liu Zimo the lucky star sent by the heavens to them?

First the spirit fruit, now the spirit stones. It seemed like whatever they, the grandfather and granddaughter, needed, Liu Zimo could produce it.

"Liu Xiaoge, this... this might not be appropriate," the old mountain elder stuttered, "Originally, Yun'er already benefited greatly from eating your spirit fruit. How can we take advantage of your low-grade spirit stones?"

"These are the fortunes bestowed upon you by the immortal in the Ascension Realm. We... we..."

The old mountain elder couldn't continue speaking because he really wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his granddaughter and didn't want to refuse.

"Yes, what Yun'er said is right!" Liu Yun straightforwardly shook her head and refused, "I can escort Liu Xiaoge to participate in the sect test, so that he won't be robbed of his spirit stones on the way!"

Two low-grade spirit stones were worth two hundred taels of silver. If they were targeted by some petty thieves, with Liu Xiaoge's current weak body, he would definitely suffer.

"Yes, Yun'er is right!" The old mountain elder quickly added, "Liu Xiaoge, it's settled then. Let Yun'er escort you to the nearest county town where the test site set up by the Qingyun Immortal Sect is located."

"Yun'er is now at the peak of the Body Refining Realm and can be considered a small expert in the mortal world. With her protection, no one would dare to have any ill intentions towards you!"

Whether or not Liu Zimo could participate in the sect test was not the main concern. For the old mountain elder, as long as he could send his granddaughter away from the troubled land of the Liu family, his goal would be achieved.

After all, his initial goal was to deceive Yun'er and keep her away from this place of turmoil.

Moreover, judging from Liu Zimo's generous and righteous character, if they really reached the test site, he would definitely find a way to let Yun'er participate as well.

If Yun'er could successfully join the Qingyun Immortal Sect, then the Cui family would no longer be a concern, and the Liu family would have a better future.

Throughout the whole process, neither the grandfather nor the granddaughter had any intention of killing or robbing Liu Zimo of the low-grade spirit stones in his hand.

In this regard, Liu Zimo was extremely satisfied, secretly thinking that he had not misjudged the person.

"In that case, I will trouble Miss Yun'er!" Liu Zimo did not refuse, nodded at the old mountain elder, and at the same time, he thanked Liu Yun in return.

With this, the matter was settled.

After a brief preparation, Liu Yun packed a few sets of clean clothes and left Liu's village quietly with Liu Zimo under the cover of night.

The old mountain elder stood at the village entrance, watching their figures gradually disappear into the forest path, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He held his injured left arm and returned home with a hunched back.

"Brother Liu, do you think Grandpa is deliberately deceiving me?" Not far from leaving the village, Liu Yun stopped and turned back, looking at Liu's village that had already disappeared into the darkness. She asked Liu Zimo softly, "If I leave, will those wicked people from Cui's stronghold really spare Grandpa and the villagers?"

"What if they refuse to give up and bring people to rob the winter grain in the village?"

"Liu Sheng brother is seriously injured and won't recover in a few months. My grandpa and my brothers, Hui and Jian, seem to have suffered some hidden injuries as well. If people from Cui's stronghold come again, they won't be able to stop them!"

Liu Zimo turned his head and glanced at the little girl beside him.

Unexpectedly, this little girl was not as naive as he had imagined. She was quite clear-minded.

She probably agreed to leave just now because she didn't want the old mountain elder to worry and pretended not to know anything.

"Brother Liu, let me carry you and hurry to the county town. I'll come back and secretly watch over you!"

"If those people from Cui's stronghold dare to come again, I won't let them succeed even if I have to risk my life!"

Liu Yun clenched her teeth, holding her small fist, with a determined look on her face.

Obviously, before deciding to leave Liu's village, this little girl had already made up her mind.

"Come on, Brother Liu, don't be shy. I'm at the peak of Body Refining now, and I can run fast. If I carry you to the county town, I can make a round trip in a few hours!"

"I'll send you to the county town and come back. It might not even be dawn yet, so there's plenty of time!"

Saying that, Liu Yun bent down slightly, gesturing for Liu Zimo to climb onto her back.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

This girl is really straightforward.

"Miss Yun'er, even if you are strong, you are only at the peak of Body Refining. If the people from Cui's stronghold really invite cultivators from the immortal sect, will you still be their match?"

Liu Zimo softly persuaded, "Listen to me, come with me to participate in this year's entry test for the Qingyun Immortal Sect. With your talent, you will definitely pass the test!"

"By then, you will also be a disciple of the Qingyun Immortal Sect. With the protection of the sect, the people from Cui's stronghold won't dare to come near you or trouble Liu's village anymore."

"This is the best way to permanently solve the troubles of Liu's village!"

"No!" Liu Yun decisively shook her head without even thinking.

"I have already taken advantage of Brother Liu's generosity. How can I use your low-grade spirit stones?"

"Besides, I may not be able to pass the sect's test, so it's better not to waste time and spirit stones!"

Liu Zimo sighed lightly in his heart at her words.

This girl doesn't even know how amazing her spiritual roots are!

A single attribute of the highest-grade water spiritual roots!

If those immortal sect cultivators were to discover it, they would definitely protect her like a treasure!

By then, the troubles of Liu's village would naturally be resolved! (End of this chapter)
