The small landlord has made a fortune this time!

  Spent the whole day hiding in the Seven Treasures Gourd, studying the seeds stolen from Bai Mudan, all of which were fourth-grade seeds and came in many varieties, even Zhang Ye had never come into contact with them.

  After checking the growth of Jin Yu, currently, the little guy occupies about 10 mu and three points of land.

  Zhang Ye now has a total of twelve mu and four fen of land, with one mu and seven fen remaining. With his planting method, he can grow many medicinal herbs.

  After inquiring about Zǐ Yī's opinion, Zhāng Yè spent a long time selecting and was exhausted for an entire day and night, planting the first batch of his own medicinal herbs, using around eight-tenths of the field.

  He didn't dare to be careless, because if the golden buds grew a bit bigger, the land wouldn't be enough, and they would die together with the weeds.

  During this time, Zhang Ye's life was fulfilling and simple, with no knowledge of outside affairs. Every day he would run back and forth between the "public fields" on the mountain peaks and his private fields in the gourds.

  Zhang Ye no longer uses the Blazing Golden Body Technique to temper himself and has accumulated a lot of wealth.

  There are currently over 7,000 alchemical pills, and in addition, there are also 120 Reverted Elixirs.

  Accumulated wealth is approaching nine thousand.

  As the Sword Trial drew near, Zhang Ye went to Xu Ying's small courtyard.

  After communicating with her for a long time, Xu Ying reluctantly agreed to accept the Lihuo Golden Body Refining Technique with a curious and challenging mood.

  The danger of the Golden Body of Fierce Fire is not great, and many practitioners know this method, but they cannot afford to support it and cannot bear the suffering.

  Xu Ying was just average in terms of talent, but her other qualities were not bad. In the past, Master Sister Lan Tianying had spent countless efforts to help Xu Ying improve and finally managed to get her a foundation-building pill, allowing her to retreat and build her foundation.

  The most difficult hurdle has passed, and now Xu Ying's desire to improve her cultivation is unprecedented, so she is willing to accept that kind of fiery tribulation.

  Xu Ying's cultivation was relatively low, and her foundation was not large. With the help of Zhang Ye and Lie Huo Jin Shen Fa, in just over a month, she miraculously broke through to the third layer of the Foundation Building stage, having consumed less than 1,000 dan medicines.

  This is much cheaper than Zhang Ye's one-day consumption of 900 dan of medicine.

  Thus, Xu Ying can now more safely wield the yin-yang twin swords.

  "Alright, for now, let's just wait patiently for the Sword Trial Conference. After I become a true disciple, when I have the right to give you the manual, I will teach you an even higher level of skill. At that time, your cultivation will be smoother." Zhang Ye said.

  "Can you still become a true disciple?" Xǔ Yīng asked with some curiosity.

  "Uh..." Zhang Ye accidentally let it slip and felt a bit embarrassed. This was the Supreme Master's personal order, not to be spread outside.

  Xu Ying was very clever and saw some twists and turns in the middle, knowing that it was inconvenient to ask further. She smiled and said nothing, turning to say: "Alright, Shifu can endure a month of intense fire and golden body, which is already the limit. This is not something a human can bear. You have worked hard to save money, and we will still rely on you in the future. Take care of yourself and don't waste it on me again."

  Zhang Ye bid farewell to Xu Ying and resumed his usual life, farming, drinking, cultivating, and reminiscing...

  The last hint of early spring chill dissipated, and the entire mountain range was shrouded in green when a majestic bell toll echoed from the sky above Taixuan Peak, lingering for a long time.

  Dong dong dong dong dong, the five sounds echo through the mountains, heralding the arrival of a grand day.

  The Swordsmanship Conference has finally arrived.

  Every time a trial by combat is held, it is presided over by the Commander Elder Hall and the Transmission of Merit Elder Hall, in conjunction with the Inner Gate General Executor's Institute.

  But now this time is particularly strange, not only has Zhang Ye's qualification for the trial been revoked, but the reward has also been increased.

  Although adhering to the principle of "better fewer but better", there are still only two places for authentic disciples. However, from third place to tenth place, the intensity of rewards has been increased.

  The third place reserves the position of inner door disciple, specially taught by the Transmission Elder a set of fifth-grade method and a set of fifth-grade fist palm sword method. As well as a fourth-grade flying sword.

  In the past, inner disciples would not have had the opportunity to learn the fifth-grade technique, this is a rule, except for Tan Siqin who dared to teach Zhang Ye the fifth-grade yin-yang mysterious technique, for others, this was a high-voltage line.

  Fourth place reserves the position of inner door disciple, and is taught a set of fifth-grade techniques by Master Chuan Gong. As well as one fourth-grade flying sword.

  Fifth place reserves the position of inner door disciple and transmits the fifth-grade method.

  The following rankings have also increased the intensity of rewards, including good results, promotion from outer door disciples to inner door, doubling offerings and other measures.

  But this is just a superficial statement. Although outer door disciples can participate in the trial sword conference, they basically won't have good results after participating. In this regard, Zhang Ye's experience is the most profound.

  The Sword Testing Platform at the top of Taixuan Peak was already packed with people, buzzing with excitement and speculation.

  Zhang Ye, as a person who can only watch and cannot participate, still caused quite a stir when he arrived.

  In the midst of chaotic noise, there are sighs, whispers, and contempt. Utterly disordered, a complete mess.

  "What a pity! If this guy could go on stage, Shi Tianyun and Yang Zheng, as well as Long Wuming, the three of them would be finished."

  "Is it really worth it?"

  "How could it be, haven't you seen Zhang Evil Overlord rushing to the inner gate to grab the seed, how overbearing he was, taking it and wanting to leave, unable to leave then fighting, a pair of iron fists beating Shi Tianyun and Yang Zheng until they couldn't find their way north, truly too shocking."

  There were some discordant voices floating around everywhere.

  Long Wuming, a rising star in the inner door, has some similarities with Zhang Ye in terms of experience. He had been low-key before and went out to practice for more than two years, returning only recently. For some reason, he suddenly became popular on the eve of this sword trial meeting and entered the "Dark Horse Rankings". He is also known as the first kind of son character.

  Among the popular characters, Xu Ying fell outside of the top 20. Lan Tianying's senior sister, Shanhua, also ranked higher than Xu Ying.

  Among the current sisters, only Xu Ying and Shanhu have some hope. The majority of female disciples are in a bad environment outside the gate, and even building their foundation is impossible.

  The participants on the "Ji Di Ban" version, nearly two-thirds of whom are from Tian Lang Feng.

  "It seems that this time, the majority of the rewards and resources will still fall into the hands of Senior Brother. Senior Brother is indeed Senior Brother. In previous years, even if Senior Sister Lantianying was present, she couldn't suppress Senior Brother in this aspect."

  "That being said, there's still a twist - Long Wumeng is Luo Tianxing's senior brother. Among the core true disciples of the entire sect, Luo Tianxing is probably the most low-key and mysterious, so there might be some unexpected changes."

  "Never mind, stop nagging, place your bets, buy and sell decisively."

  I'm pressing down on a pheasant.

  "I crushed half of the Gathering Yuan Pill."

  "I refined six Congealing Yuan Pellets."

  Many outer disciples of the Dragon Suite level gathered together for a "high-stakes gamble", and an old man in charge of registration was kept extremely busy.

  This old man is over sixty years old and has been in Tai Xuan Men for fifty years, but he is still an outer door disciple.

  "Hey, hey, don't squeeze, Abu, what are you doing?"

  In the sound, Abu squeezed into the crowd and rushed out of the encirclement, running to the old man's face, holding out his small hand, opening it to reveal ten Gathering Origin Pills.

  "Wow, Abu, you're really wealthy." Many outer door disciples let out envious voices.

  Little Gambler Abu put down the dan medicine and started betting...
