On the square, Ye Tian Yun remained composed and wasn't affected by the pressure at all. His cultivation was extremely solid, and he'd even experienced life and death battles. Moreover, he'd experienced the pressure from Foundation establishment and Core Formation experts, so when facing the pressure emanated by an expert at the Peak Qi Stabilization Realm and under the condition that Elder Mu had held back, he wasn't affected at all.
Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes and looked to his right. At this moment, there was a young man around the age of 16 on his right, and the young man was looking at him. The young man wore a gorgeous white robe and had a handsome appearance. Even though the young man's appearance was slightly immature, his entire body was covered in a wealthy disposition, and the arrogant expression on his face wasn't really concealed.
Of course, most importantly, the young man was just like Ye Tian Yun. He wasn't affected by the pressure emanated by a Qi Stabilization expert at all, and this caused Ye Tian Yun to be slightly surprised in his heart.
When he saw Ye Tian Yun look at him, Ling Yun instantly withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "It looks like not all the participants in this Inner Court Entrance Hunt are trash. It's good that there is some slightly better grass to serve as contrast, otherwise, it would be too boring!"
Ye Tian Yun withdrew his gaze as well, and then he closed his eyes and rested his mind once more. Perhaps the young man's strength wasn't bad, yet it was utterly meaningless to Ye Tian Yun.
After an hour passed, Elder Mu restrained his imposing aura before turning around and flashing onto the platform. When he noticed that an expanse of youths had collapsed on the ground and only a few hundred youths remained, Elder Mu shook his head slightly and sighed lightly. He'd already held back, yet he'd never expected that so many would still be eliminated, so it was obvious how he felt at this moment.
As soon as Lei Mu restrained his imposing aura, many people instantly heaved sighs of relief. Ye Tian Yun shook his head inwardly when he noticed this. If Elder Mu continued for a while longer or slightly strengthened the pressure he emanated, there would probably be even more people that collapsed.
As he gazed at those youths that had collapsed around him, a wisp of a disdainful sneer appeared on the corners of Ling Yun's mouth, and he said in a light voice, "Trash! All of you can't even endure the mere imposing aura of a Qi Stabilization cultivator!" As soon as he finished, he turned around to look at Ye Tian Yun, and he revealed a teasing smile.
Ye Tian Yun when he noticed the young man's expression. There really are a lot of idiots that look for trouble!
Meanwhile, Elder Wu took a few steps forward, and he gazed at the remaining six hundred youths as he said, "Those that have collapsed, head to the side immediately, whereas those that are still standing should immediately meditate and rest. The second stage will begin in an hour!"
"It will be the most important stage of this event and also the reason why this exam is conducted underground. You will be hunting a spirit beast, the Qi Stealing Mole for its beast core."
The so-called beast core was used in creating a medicine that contained Qi. There were different types, and spiritual medicine was divided into low quality, medium quality, high quality, and top quality. The Qi Gathering Pill that Ye Tian Yun had was a high-quality spiritual medicine.
The Inner Court Entrance Hunt was welfare for the outer court disciples by the Gracious Sword Sect.
In a certain area on the Gracious Mountain Range, there were large amounts of spirit beasts, and that area was also home to many, known as the Spiritual Medicine Mountain.
Spiritual Medicine Mountain. It was originally one of the forbidden lands of the Gracious Sword Sect, but every year, the sect would suffer big losses due to the presence of Qi Stealing Moles.
These spirit beasts ate the spiritual medicine and this created a lot of trouble for the sect. However, the beast core of these beasts turned out to be very useful. It was comparable to a low tier Qi Gathering Pill.
This event was called the 'Hunt' because the disciples had to hunt down these spirit beasts. They could hide in the ground, run away with extreme speed, and they even had strong attacks so it was quite difficult to pick them.
The Spiritual Medicine Mountain was a forbidden land. The entire mountain had layers of seals.
Unless one had flying abilities, they could only enter the Spiritual Medicine Mountain from the entrance.
There were eight entrances in the Spiritual Medicine Mountain and all eight entrances had elders guarding there. Only at the time of the Inner Court Entrance Exam Hunt would they be opened.
And all these gates were underground, which made trespassing very difficult.
After an hour, all eight entrances opened. The outer court disciples who had passed the first stage could now enter and almost four hundred disciples came in from all directions.
"This Spiritual Medicine Mountain is quite a mysterious place."
Ye Tian Yun wandered around in the Spiritual Medicine Mountain. His gaze was attracted to the huge, sky covering trees and the dense bushes.
It was the first time that he saw such beautiful plants. Even the fragrances of the flowers were very dense and the otherworldly scene intoxicated him.
"Qi Stealing Mole?" Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun saw a strange beast popping it's head out of the ground, staring at him.
