Lin Ming thought it was good, with Ou Yang Di Hua's death, Ou Yang Bo Yan arrived, Tian Yun City had turned upside down, however people already assumed that Ou Yang Di Hua died at the hands of a pre-heaven expert, Lin Ming's suspicion was directly ruled out.

  Even if Bìluò knew that Lin Ming and ōuyáng Qīhuā had a falling out, she didn't suspect Lin Ming. She asked herself, even if she were to take action, using all sorts of magical techniques, it would still be impossible to silently kill ōuyáng Qīhuā in that situation.

  So Ou Yang Jiehua's death became a mystery case, and no matter how Ou Yang Boyan investigated, he couldn't find any clues.

  Time passed and it was already ten days later, the overall assessment of the Qi Xuan Wu Fu had begun...

  ……

  The heavy snow in Tianyun City has been falling on and off for over ten days, with large flakes of snow scattering down like cotton wool, fluttering and swirling as they fall.

  The entire city was shrouded in a vast expanse of white, and every morning, the laborers from the government would come out to sweep the snow, but no matter how much they swept, it would just keep falling again tomorrow.

  In the Seventh Imperial Palace, Sun Liang, the registrar, was engrossed in reading a biography with his head buried in the book. Although it was freezing outside, the room was warm with a copper basin of charcoal fire burning, and the door was hung with a thick cotton curtain, while the windows were pasted with thick window paper, making the whole room cozy and warm.

  Inside a warm room watching the icy and snowy outside has a unique flavor, this atmosphere is most suitable for reading.

  Just then the door was pushed open and a cold wind blew in, Sun Liang shivered. He raised his head with some discomfort, but when he looked up, he was stunned.

  It's actually Lin Ming!

  "Lin Shidi? You're back?" Sun Liang hastily put down, smiling and welcoming. In the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture, who didn't need to be taken seriously, and who needed to be fawned upon. Sun Liang understood it all in his heart.

  "Uh, I've finished my training, it's been about two months. Came specifically to the registration office to cancel my training record."

  "Lin Shidi is too polite, why bother coming all the way here, just send someone to pass on a message. Speaking of which, you're back right on time, Lin Shidi probably doesn't know that the Seven Mysteries Valley's overall assessment has already begun, and these past few days, the Qin Manor Lord has started selecting people." Sun Liang said in rapid succession while warmly welcoming Lin Ming in, attentively pouring a bowl of hot tea.

  "Huh?" Lin Ming was slightly taken aback. As a quasi-core disciple of the Seven Abyssal Wraiths Sect, he naturally knew about this sect's assessment.

  Qī Xuán Gǔ set up Qī Xuán Wǔ Fǔ in various countries, one is to better control each country. Another is to cultivate high-ranking officials and expand the power of Qī Xuán Gǔ. Every three years, the General Sect would send someone to inspect the disciples of the nearby countries' martial arts schools and hold a martial arts conference.

  The main assessment objects of Hui Wu are the core disciples of various martial arts schools. If non-core disciples are excellent, they can also participate.

  The day of the martial arts gathering has arrived, and the core disciples of various countries' martial arts schools have gathered. The Seven Xuan Valley's main sect and the Xiū Wǔ family will also send their talented disciples to compete with each other.

  If good results are achieved, not only will the core disciples who achieve the results be rewarded, but the master of the Wu Fu will also receive a reward.

  The most precious reward is the entry into heaven Dan, which needs to be taken when the postnatal peak master impacts the innate. The materials for entering the heavenly Dan are difficult to find, and the Seven Mysteries Valley refines one furnace every three years, with only a few dozen finished products.

  Even the incredibly talented Qinzuya, after joining the Seventh Xuanwu Sect for so long, only managed to obtain one Entering Heaven Pill. Moreover, after consuming this pill, due to his unfulfilled heart, he was unable to break through to the Pre-Heaven stage.

  These years Qinzi entered deep mountains and secluded valleys to cultivate bitterly for many years, his qin heart was greatly accomplished, urgently needing a Heavenly Entrance Elixir to break through the pre-heavenly bottleneck.

  However, Tian Dan only rewards the first place in martial arts!

  It's easy to talk about getting first place, but the Seven Profound Valleys govern thirty-six countries. Outside of these thirty-six countries, there are also the ancient Xiuwu families and the disciples of the Head Sect.

  However, even if they can't get the first place, getting a good ranking is also a great honor and will be recorded in the merit book, so the masters of various national martial arts schools attach great importance to this martial arts conference.

  "I didn't expect the overall assessment to start already..."

  Lin Ming was thinking in his heart when Sun Liang suddenly exclaimed, "Lin Shidi... you... your cultivation has reached the peak of Bone Forging?"

  Sun Liang only then noticed Lin Ming's cultivation, his hand shook and the teacup almost fell to the ground. He remembered that before Lin Ming left, he was still in the Easy Tendon stage of cultivation, but now he had returned as a Bone Forging peak cultivator, this cultivation speed was too fast!

  Sun Liang originally didn't think much of Lin Ming's decision to venture out and gain experience, thinking that nothing could compare to the resources provided by the Seven Abyssal Halls. But he never expected that after Lin Ming traveled around for a bit and came back, his cultivation would actually increase by one and a half realms!

  "Hmm, barely broke through." Lin Ming was unwilling to say more on this topic. In front of Qian Zhen's sharp eyes, his cultivation could not be hidden, and it would be better not to expose his true strength, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

  Lucky? Why don't I have such luck?

  Sun Liang listened to Lin Ming's casual tone, and had an urge to smash his head, from the Easy Tendon period to the Tempering Bone period, he had made a lucky breakthrough in just two months, advancing half a boundary, truly, some people are more talented than others, it's enough to make one die of envy.

  "Come to think of it, when the Seven Mysteries Order was passed down initially, wasn't it said that Lin Shidi would become a core disciple if he reached the peak of Changing Tendons at 16? Isn't Lin Shidi already a core disciple now?" Sun Liang suddenly remembered the Seven Mysteries Order that had been circulating recently and his eyes lit up.

  "Yeah, probably."

  Sun Liang was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. Although he had long known that Lin Ming becoming the core disciple was only a matter of time, when it finally happened, Sun Liang still felt a little dreamy. To have achieved such success at such a young age was truly remarkable. In the past, saying that Lin Ming would become one of the Seven Profound Messengers in the future had sounded like an exaggeration, but now it seemed that might not be enough!

  If I were to break through the innate and become a senior elder of the Seven Mysteries Valley...

  Sun Liang took a deep breath and didn't dare to think about it anymore. He became even more respectful towards Lin Ming, handing the tea cup to him with both hands, and flattered: "Lin Shidi's cultivation has made rapid progress, this time in the Grand Sect's Martial Arts Assembly, he might be able to enter the top fifty."

  Sun Liang said that the top 50 ranking was not underestimating Lin Ming, mainly because many of the disciples who participated in the Total Clan Martial Meeting were 19 or 20 years old and had a cultivation level above the Condensing Pulse stage. At 15 years old, Lin Ming's age was at a disadvantage.

  Moreover, the number of participants in the General Assembly is too large. The Seven Profound Valleys govern thirty-six countries, more than a dozen ancient martial arts families, plus the new disciples of the General Sect, totaling five or six hundred people. It's not easy to stand out among so many people.

  Lin Ming smiled and didn't deny anything. He took a sip of hot tea and said, "You just mentioned that the master of Qin Manor has started selecting people. Who did he choose?"

  "Two days ago, the masters of the Qin and Sun families gathered their core disciples for a grand competition. The competition is already halfway through, and three people have been confirmed to participate in the assessment. The remaining two candidates will be determined by the outcome of the subsequent matches."

  "Oh? Which three people?"

  "The three people who have been confirmed are Qin Xingxuan, Zhou Yu and Liang Long. The remaining two undecided people will be selected from Ling Sen, Tuo Ku, Zhao Jifeng and Jiang Bin."

  "Huh? Didn't Ling Sen get selected in the first batch?" Lin Ming was somewhat surprised. Although Ling Sen wasn't a core disciple, his strength had already surpassed that of a Condensing Pulse warrior. Even Qin Xuan might not be a match for him, so why hadn't he been chosen yet?

  Sun Liang said: "The master of the Qin Fu first selects from among the five core disciples, and only then does Ling Sen and Tuo Ku count."

  It turns out that Lin Ming understood in his heart that the total assessment of the Seven Profound Valleys mainly targeted core disciples and would not normally allow non-core disciples to participate. Probably these five core disciples couldn't satisfy Qian Zun, so they pulled in Ling Sen and Tuo Ku.

  Sun Liang said: "Since Lin Shidi has returned, he should hurry up and see the master of Qin Fu. He is in the Xuanwu Hall of Wu Fu."

  "I understand." Lin Ming nodded and walked out the door, striding towards the Xuanwu Hall. He naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity to participate in the Seven Profound Valleys' total sect assessment, which offered many rewards that he was very eager for... The total sect martial assembly, held once every three years, was a major event for the masters of the seven profound martial arts schools of various countries. Qin Ziyu naturally attached great importance to it as well, and his intention in bringing Lin Ming along was to have him achieve outstanding results at the assembly. However, he didn't hold much hope for this session - Lin Ming was still too young, and his cultivation was only at the Easy Muscle stage. No matter how heaven-defying his talent was, he couldn't possibly be a match for those Condensation stage prodigies.

  The age limit for participating in the General Assembly of Wu is twenty-two years old, which means that Lin Ming can still participate in two sessions. Qinzhiya believes that with Lin Ming's talent, by the time he is twenty-two years old, he will surely make a big splash in the martial arts competition.

  But before Kotone's plan could be implemented, Lin Ming had already gone missing...

  Qinzi had suspected Ouyang Dihua, but there was no evidence. However, what he never expected was that just half a month after his return, Ouyang Dihua also died, and under very strange circumstances, in the headquarters of the United Business Association. The several personal guards around him did not notice anything unusual.

  Ouyang Dianhua is dead, and Ouyang Boyan has arrived in Tianyun City. The whole city of Tianyun is in an uproar, and Qinzijia is at his wit's end.

  At this critical moment, the total religion assessment is about to begin. As a secondary country, Tianyun can send five participants.

  The core disciples of the Seventh Xuanwu Sect are exactly five people.

  However, the strength of these five people was not satisfactory to Qinzijia. The only one who could hold his own was Qin Xingxuan, but Qin Xingxuan was also too young and might not be able to enter the top 200.

  So he could only let Ling Sen, Tak Ku and others participate, in fact, Qinzuo didn't want to do this unless he had no other choice, because this would make other countries laugh at Tianyun Country's Seven Xuanwu Sect for having no one, and actually needing outer sect disciples to attend the General Assembly of Wuchongmen.

  Although Qinzi Ya is naturally calm and composed, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about anything. As the master of a martial arts school, he has to take on the responsibilities that come with it, and he certainly doesn't want to see his own school being ridiculed.
