Time flies like a white horse, in the blink of an eye, March has passed. Xiao Yan's Rite of passage is only one month away.
At this important moment, every moment of preparation is crucial.
On a clear morning, sunlight streamed through the crack in the curtains and spilled into Xiao Yan's tidy little house.
He sat alone in the room, with a mix of anxiety and anticipation in his eyes.
He stared blankly at the green liquid in the wooden basin. It was the precious Foundation Essence that could help him elevate his Qi of Fight. But the cultivation of Qi of Fight was difficult, especially at higher levels.
Since he broke through to the seventh stage of Qi of Fight, it has been almost two months, and his Qi of Fight has not made any progress.
No matter how hard he tries, the feeling of breaking through to the eighth stage has never appeared.
He stared foolishly at the wooden basin for a long time, then shook his head in resignation after a brief moment of distraction, muttering to himself in a low voice, "I wonder if relying on this last drop of Foundation Essence can help me break through to the eighth stage of Qi of Fight."
He slowly stood up, feeling a bit numb in his body, but instead of choosing to continue practicing Qi of Fight, he walked to the wardrobe and took out a proper set of black clothes, carefully putting them on.
Rite of passage In the month before coming of age, all young people of the tribe must take a predictive test in order to eliminate those who are not qualified in Qi of Fight.
In the Xiao Family, only members who have reached the seventh stage or higher in the Qi of Fight are eligible to enter the Martial Hall to seek martial arts techniques after completing the Rite of Passage.
Those in the Xiao Family who are below the seventh stage in the Qi of Fight will lose this privilege. Once the Rite of Passage is over, they will be assigned to various industries within the family.
Unless they can show outstanding performance in the future, or surpass other outstanding sect members in their cultivation speed, it will be difficult for these people to return to the path of cultivation.
Xiao Yan had just finished organizing his clothes when a soft knock on the door suddenly came from outside.
"Xiao Yan, are you home?" A female voice slowly came from outside the door.
Gu Yunzhi knew very well that today was a significant day for Xiao Yan, so naturally, he wouldn't be absent.
This time, she gently knocked on the door, unlike last time when she impulsively opened the door, to avoid seeing something she shouldn't see again.
Xiao Yan heard her voice and felt overwhelming joy in her heart.
However, a strange sound suddenly rang in Gu Yunzhi's mind: Ding dong, accompanying Xiao Yan to participate in adult etiquette, you will receive 200,000 gold coins and 60,000 experience points. In addition, you have obtained one chance to draw lots. Up to now, you have accumulated four chances to draw lots. With one more chance, you can specify an item.
Gu Yunzhi was slightly stunned, but quickly put this strange notification aside.
Although she has recently lost interest in raffles, she was pleasantly surprised to find that after participating five times, she had won a designated item. However, she now needs to accompany Xiao Yan and will inquire about the designated item from Xiao-I when she has the time.
Xiao Yan responded with a smile, "Hmm, I'm at home, wait for me a moment." After speaking, he quickly tidied up his clothes, hid the wooden basin in the corner of the room, and then walked to the door and opened it.
"How did you come?" he asked in surprise.
As the door opened, warm sunlight sprinkled onto Gu Yunzhi's face, and her smile bloomed like a flower. "Today is your big day, how could I be absent?" Xiao Yan looked at her, feeling warmth in his heart.
The sunlight also sprinkled on the figure of the young man in black, making him look even more refined.
Gu Yunzhi looked at Xiao Yan and couldn't help but admire, "You look really handsome today!" Xiao Yan heard the praise, felt warm in his heart, but pretended to smile as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Yan took a glance at Gu Yunzhi's outfit. She was wearing a simple yet extremely elegant light blue long skirt. The hem of the skirt gently swayed with her movements, like light and graceful clouds. Her hair was tied up in an exquisite bun, with a few smooth strands falling softly beside her face, adding a gentle atmosphere to her appearance. A simple white ribbon was tied around her neck, giving her a fresh and refined look, exuding the elegance and tenderness of an Eastern woman.
"You look beautiful too, Yun Zhi. That light blue skirt suits you well," Xiao Yan said shyly.
He doesn't often praise people, but when he saw Gu Yunzhi appear, the joy in his heart made him unable to help but express his heartfelt praise.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhi's face lit up with an even more beautiful and charming smile, and a faint blush gradually appeared on her cheeks.
She slightly lowered her head, seemingly a bit at a loss from Xiao Yan's praise, but a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She raised her head, her gaze meeting Xiao Yan's, filled with tenderness.
"Thank you for your praise, Xiao Yan," she said gently, the joy in her eyes undisguised.
Her voice is soft and pleasant, like a gentle spring breeze, making people feel comfortable and warm. Xiao Yan listened to her words, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Their eyes met, and there seemed to be an indescribable sweetness and warmth in the air.
Then, Gu Yunzhi cleared his throat lightly, breaking the moment of silence, and said playfully, "Alright, let's not delay here any longer. Let's hurry to the family square. Everyone is waiting for you."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He knew the importance of this day, so he gently took Gu Yunzhi's hand and together they walked towards The Xiao Family's family square to embrace the important moment in his life.
As time passed by second by second, Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi walked towards The Xiao Family's family square.
There, a large number of The Xiao Family's descendants, sect leader Xiao Zhan, and the elders had already gathered, creating a lively scene.
The Xiao Family's adult etiquette holds great significance within the family, symbolizing a watershed in the destiny of the descendants of The Xiao Family.
Before the age of sixteen, only young men who have reached the seventh level of Qi of Fight are eligible for the family's full cultivation, while those who only reach the sixth level of Qi of Fight or below are seen as unable to reach the peak of a fighter.
Therefore, every parent sincerely hopes that their children can squeeze into the sect and become the nurtured seeds.
In the huge training ground, more than a hundred young men and women stood, and the noise rose to the sky.
In the central area, there was a huge black stone tablet, which symbolized the strength of the family. Only wealthy families could afford such a testing monument, which was quite valuable. Next to the black stone stele, the apathetic tester from a year ago was still there.
On the left side of the training ground's high platform, the core members of the family sat, while in the center, the sect leader Xiao Zhan and three elders presided.
The young men and women in the field were about to face judgment, with anxious expressions. Those who usually performed well were full of confidence, while those with average or slightly lower talent appeared nervous and uneasy.
Xiao Zhan Looking at the people in the room, their expressions varied, and he couldn't help but sigh. In his heart, he silently prayed, " Yan, can you successfully get through this?"
"Chief, it's almost time. Why hasn't Xiao Yan arrived yet?" The Second Elder beside him frowned and asked.
Xiao Zhan gave him a sidelong glance and responded lightly, "It's not time yet, why be impatient?" There was a hint of displeasure in his words.
The Second Elder choked for a moment, his face showing some discomfort, and he coldly snorted, "Even if you bought the Foundation Essence for him, it's impossible to reach the seventh stage of Qi of Fight within a year. Don't expect any miracles."
Xiao Zhan's face showed anger, and he was about to retort, but suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd. He turned his gaze and saw two figures slowly walking towards the entrance of the square in the distance. Their steps were calm, as if they were not feeling rushed by the importance of today.
Xiao Zhan squinted at the faint smile on Black Shirt Youth's face, and for some reason, he felt a sense of relief in his heart...
Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi leisurely walked towards The Xiao Family's family square, which was already filled with the lively atmosphere of the family.
Walking on the cobblestone path leading to the square, the two could feel the eager gazes from all around, as if every step was under the scrutiny of the crowd.
The family square was bustling with activity, with the descendants of the Xiao Family and the sect leader Xiao Zhan, along with the elders, already waiting there. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and a hint of nervousness.
The Xiao Family's adult etiquette is not only a tradition of the family, but also a watershed for the destiny of every descendant of the family.
At the age of sixteen, only the young men and women who have reached the seventh level of Qi of Fight can receive the family's attention and continue to receive the family's resources for cultivation.
Looking at Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi walking side by side, the young men in the field couldn't help but show jealous expressions. In the Xiao Family, who doesn't know that Gu Yunzhi is regarded as an honored guest by the Xiao Family?
That day, she immediately displayed the boldness of ten scatter qi, exerting even greater pressure on the Yunlan Sect. Everyone looked at the person who was so close to Gu Yunzhi, the well-known waste...
At the edge of the square, Xiao Ning was surrounded by a group of peers, looking disdainfully at Xiao Yan.
Another person was just silently watching, with a hint of disappointment in their eyes: "Xiao Yan brother, are you not even letting Xun'er participate in such days?"
"This kid, after today, what face does he have to stay in the Xiao Family? Don't even think that Gu Yunzhi will pay attention to him again, and Xun'er won't be able to take him away from me." Xiao Ning looked at Xun'er's disappointed expression and sneered with delight.
Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi ignored the indifferent and contemptuous glances, walking directly to the back of the line, talking quietly to each other.
Looking at Xiao Yan's relaxed appearance, the senior members of the family on the high platform couldn't help but feel surprised. Doesn't he know the impact today's test will have on his future?
"Haha, has he given up already?" The Second Elder sneered quietly.
I thought Xiao Zhan would rebuke, but The Second Elder waited for a while and didn't see any reaction from him, so he looked at Xiao Zhan in amazement.
"The Second Elder, let's wait until the end to draw conclusions. Otherwise, it will only be embarrassing later." Xiao Zhan said lightly, his gaze falling on the bowed figure in the field.
"The Second Elder coldly snorted, 'I hope so, I also look forward to him bringing me some surprises.'
"Alright, time's up, don't delay any longer," the Grand Elder interrupted their conversation in a deep voice.
