Today's Qin Xuanxuan wore a pure white elegant evening gown, which was relatively simple compared to the majority of evening gowns in the venue. The chest and back were not too low-cut, only revealing Qin Xuanxuan's slender shoulders as smooth as condensed milk. Although her figure was not yet full-bodied, it could still outline a moving curve. The hem of the evening gown trailed very long, like a clear spring flowing freely on the ground.

  This was Lin Ming's first time seeing Qin Xuan in a dress, and he was slightly surprised. This girl seemed to always bring out different flavors, meeting her in the public classroom, she had an air of innocence and youthfulness, but now at the banquet, she naturally exuded nobility and elegance. Who knows how she would look like in military uniform in the future?

  Qin Xingxuan's appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and even the sensation caused by Lin Ming was completely overshadowed.

  However, although the young masters present couldn't take their eyes off Qin Xingxuan, no one dared to approach her. To them, Qin Xingxuan was somewhat out of reach; it would be easier to try to win over a princess instead.

  "Teacher." Yang Lin immediately went up to greet him.

  "Haha, I'm late." Mu Yi smiled slightly and scanned the crowd with his eyes. "Hehe, Lin Xiao, brother, we meet again."

  "Mr. Mu Yi." Lin Ming let out a slight sigh of relief and walked towards Mu Yi, which naturally made those noble young ladies refrain from approaching any further.

  Mu Yi glanced at those noble ladies and smiled with deep meaning, "Not disturbing you, right?" Lin Ming said helplessly, "Mr. Mu Yi, don't tease me." "Haha, although the tradition of Tianyun Country is to get married at 18 years old, there are many men who become fathers at 16 years old. You're also going to be 16 in a few months, you should start thinking about it."

  "Uh, I didn't plan on getting married so early." Since breaking up with Lan Yunyue, he had been obsessed with pursuing the ultimate in martial arts and hadn't planned on getting married early.

  Who would have thought that at this time, Qin Xuanxuan smiled slyly and said: "Lin Ming, you are not matching your words with your heart, I remember when we passed the Fantasy Realm Gate last time, you stayed there for a long time, I wonder if you dreamed of which girl?" Qin Xuanxuan intentionally or unintentionally brought up this matter, in her opinion, if Lin Ming had a crush on a girl, as long as he mentioned it, even the princess would probably agree happily.

  Qin Xingxuan's question made Lin Ming's face flush with a rare red color.

  Which girl did you dream of?

  This... is really hard to say...

  "Alright, Xingxuan, stop teasing Lin Xiao for now. After the banquet is over, the prince wants to see you." "Oh, okay." Lin Ming did not decline, this was an expected matter, since he came to the banquet, it meant that he didn't plan on refusing the prince's invitation.

  Lin Ming and the two of them talked for a while, but because of Qin Xuan's presence, none of the girls dared to come forward again. Not to mention ordinary noble girls, even Murong Zi didn't have any confidence in front of Qin Xuan.

  Just then, the host suddenly announced: "The General Manager Wang has arrived!"

  "King Gonggong?" The prince was slightly startled, why did King Gonggong come? Generally speaking, King Gonggong rarely left the palace, and when he did, it was usually to deliver an imperial edict.

  Could it be that His Majesty wants to issue an imperial edict to confer a title on Lin Ming?

  The crown prince was perplexed, and the eunuch had already walked into the great hall. He wore a yellow brocade robe, with his left hand holding a dustpan and his right hand slightly raised, palm up, holding a golden plaque. On it were written three characters in seal script: "Qī Xuán Lìng".

  The Seven Mysteries Decree? The decree from the Valley of the Seven Mysteries?

  The crown prince was shocked in his heart, this is an edict that is even higher than the imperial decree.

  This eunuch is the general manager of the palace, but also responsible for some matters of the Seven Xuanwu Prefecture. He entered the palace at the age of six due to his outstanding martial arts talent and was later sent to the Seven Xuanwu Prefecture. As a eunuch, he has a clear mind and few desires, so his martial arts skills have improved significantly. Now he is already at the peak of Condensed Pulse, and as the general manager of the eunuchs, he is also a top-notch master guarding the imperial palace.

  The seven Xuan orders given by Qiangu Valley to the imperial family are all transmitted by Wang Gong.

  Wang Gong smiled and looked at Lin Ming with a smile, saying: "Lin Xiao brother is blessed, the master of the house applied for the core disciple identity for Lin Xiao brother yesterday. The Seven Profound Command issued by the General Sect today stipulates the content of the assessment. Since the master is not in the Martial House, I will pass on the order. Only then did I know that Lin Xiao brother was attending a banquet at the Crown Prince's Mansion, so I rushed over. Does Lin Xiao brother have any intention of becoming a core disciple of the Seven Profound Martial House?"

  King Wang's words shocked everyone in the room, Core Disciple!

  Although it was expected that Lin Ming might become a core disciple, no one thought it would happen so soon!

  A core disciple born and raised in the Tianyun country has great significance! Once he comes back to be appointed as the master of the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture or the Seventh Xuan Envoy, he will be equivalent to the Taishang Huang of the Tianyun country!

  However, passing this core disciple assessment is not so easy, even Ling Sen didn't pass back then!

  This Lin Ming, his innate talent is inferior to Ling Sen's by a notch, can he pass? Everyone in the crowd was uncertain, Lin Ming aside from his innate talent, everything else was extraordinary, but the Seven Profound Valleys placed the most importance on innate talent.

  Lin Ming did not hesitate and replied, "I am willing to become a core disciple."

  He wants to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, he must take this path of the sect, otherwise he can't even get the resources, let alone the seven killing arrays, true yuan stone, and top-grade elixirs. Just from entering the heavenly realm from the mortal realm, one needs "Tian Dan" to clear out the mortal impurities in the body, and such a thing is only available in large sects. In the secular world, its value cannot be measured with gold.

  "Very well." Wang Gong smiled and said in his sharp, fine voice: "Then I announce the content of the Seventh Order. Lin Ming, listen to the order. From today on, you will officially enter the core disciple assessment of the Martial House. If Mr. Lin can reach the peak of the fourth stage of the Easy Tendon Realm by the age of 16, he will pass the core disciple assessment. Alternatively, if he can reach the initial stage of the fifth stage of the Tempering Bone Realm by the age of 18, he can also pass the core disciple assessment. Otherwise, the assessment will fail!"

  "In addition to the assessment content passed down from the ancestors, the master of the mansion also promised Mr. Lin some rewards. From today on, if Mr. Lin can enter the top ten of the Wan Sha Array within three months, he will receive a long spear made of heavy mysterious soft silver, a middle-grade treasure."

  "If you can defeat Zhang Guanyu within four months, you will receive a 500-year-old Blood Lingzhi. If you can defeat Tuokuo within five months, you will receive a Bi Lingdan."

  "If you defeat Lingsen within six months, you can get a bottle of Pure Spirit Liquid."

  "All of the above rewards can be stacked, Lin Ming, do you understand?"

  Wang Gonggong accepted the Seven Mystical Orders and asked Lin Ming with a smile.

  "In the midst of the Heavy Mysteries, Soft Silver's Human-grade treasure equipment long spear, Five Hundred Year Blood Spirit Mushroom, Azure Spirit Dan, and Purifying Body Spirit Liquid!" Everyone present knew that the Seven Heavy Mysteries' foundation was deep, but upon hearing these rewards, they still couldn't help but gasp in shock.

  Taking the middle-grade treasure equipment Long Gun as an example, it is obviously not among the top rewards, but even so, it is worth a city in Tianyun Country!

  Ordinary middle-grade artifacts, such as swords, cost tens of thousands of gold coins each, while the middle-grade artifact guns are worth several times more, and they're priceless!

  Guns, bows and clubs are the most difficult to manufacture as they require both stiffness and elasticity. It's even more challenging to create a treasured instrument. Even some generals don't have treasured long guns, but instead use iron guns made of purple steel like Lin Ming, or some generals who use treasured guns with inflexible handles, which greatly reduces their power.

  This heavy mysterious silver may be unknown to most people, but with a "soft" character in its name, it shouldn't be a hard gun, but a soft gun.

  A mid-grade human-tier treasure, the value of this "Baodan Qiang" is unimaginable!

  As for the 500-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom, most of them would die if not harvested at around 300 years. A 400-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom is already extremely precious, and a 500-year-old one is almost impossible to find in the mortal world, only large sects have secret methods to cultivate it. This kind of Blood Spirit Mushroom can replenish the Qi and blood in the body, making the warrior's Qi and blood flourish, and even their strength will increase accordingly.

  It is a sacred medicine that warriors who pursue power have always dreamed of.

  As for the Azure Spirit Pill and the Purifying Body Spirit Liquid, most of the people present were unclear what they were, but being able to be ranked alongside the Blood Spirit Mushroom and the mid-grade treasure spear, they must also be treasures worth a city.

  But although the treasure was enticing, no one in the room envied Lin Ming because getting it was unimaginably difficult!!

  Enter the top ten of Wan Sha Array within three months!

  Defeat Zhang Guanyu within four months!

  Defeat Takashi within five months!

  Defeat Lingson within six months!

  These tasks are as difficult as climbing to the sky, and one is more difficult than another!

  The first is relatively simple, but this has already become a myth in the eyes of the masses. Lin Ming has only been in the Seven Furnace Chamber for two months now, and even if you add three more months, it's still just five months. Five months to directly kill his way into the top ten of the Ranking Stone, if someone had said something like this before, then everyone would have thought that person was crazy.

  It's worth noting that the closer you get to the top, the fiercer the competition becomes, and every step forward is even more difficult. The top ten and the top thirty are two completely different concepts.

  Can Lin Ming really do it?

  If it's said that within three months he'll break into the top ten of the Million Kill Array, some people who have already determined that Lin Ming will become a great expert in the future feel that there is a glimmer of hope.

  However, he defeated Zhang Guanyu in four months, Taokou in five months, and Ling Sun in six months.

  This is too ridiculous!

  To know, these three people are completely not on the same level as other disciples of Tiān Zhī Fǔ. Zhang Guanyu and Takashi Kusu are both strong in the Bone Forging Realm, while the fourth-ranked person is only at the Easy Tendon Peak, with a huge difference in strength!

  Zhang Guanyu is known as the fastest of the Seven Xuanwu Sects, while Ta Ke is known as the strongest.

  But Ryusen was the most terrifying, he was an all-around type, defeating Ryusen in half a year was simply impossible!

  Everyone present is not an ordinary person, they are aware of a lot of intelligence and are very familiar with Ling Sen's situation.

  Lin Ming has martial intent, but Ling Sen also has martial intent!
