Novel Bin Chapter 13
Chapter 13
“Su Chen isn’t here yet?”
Elder Xie stood proudly on the peak with a slight frown. His eyes swept across the crowd, but he did not find Su Chen.
He had just returned to the Great Mystery Sect.
In the past three days, he personally went to the Everlasting Sect to ask them to hand over the disciples who put down poison.
As he expected, they didn’t admit it at all and claimed he was framing the Everlasting Sect’s disciples.
They said his accusation was empty words with no evidence, a one-sided statement, and he was trying to give them a bad name and hang them.
Elder Xie could only curse helplessly and left.
As soon as he returned to the Great Mystery Sect, he heard that Su Chen was going to participate in the outer sect trial, so he rushed over to watch.
However, he did not expect that Su Chen was still nowhere to be seen at this moment.
Elder Xie’s gaze searched through the crowd of outer sect disciples and soon found a few disciples who looked familiar to him, so he beckoned them over.
Cao Yun and the others edged through the crowd and hurriedly ran over.
“Where is Su Chen?”
Elder Xie asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Cao Yun shook his head with a depressed expression and said, “I don’t know either.”
“However, Senior Brother Su Chen clearly stated that he would participate in the outer sect trial this time,” Cao Yun hurriedly added after stealing a glance at Elder Xie.
“Why doesn’t he care about such an important matter?”
Elder Xie said with some reproach.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he stroked his beard and muttered, “However, the Sea Transformation Pills that will be awarded to the top five don’t seem to be important to him…”
After Cao Yun heard Elder Xie’s words, his eyes lit up. He hurriedly explained, “Senior Brother Su Chen decided to participate in this outer sect trial to comprehend the mysterious stone tablet in the third test.”
Hearing this, Elder Xie gently nodded and said, “That’s right. The other…”
Just as he was about to say something, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd.
“It’s Senior Brother Su Chen!”
“Look! That’s Senior Brother Su Chen who has been quite famous recently!”
“He’s finally here. I thought Senior Brother Su Chen wouldn’t be participating.”
“This month’s outer sect trial can be said to be a fierce battle. I’ll definitely be treated to superb performances today.”
“Hmm? Is that Senior Brother Su Chen? Why is he so handsome? To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen his real face. In the past, I’ve always heard of his name but never seen him in person.”
“Damn! What is going on? Why do I feel he is even more perfect than the rumors said?”
“Is there really someone who can be so perfect?”
“Ahhhh, what a loss! I’ve heard many rumors about him, but I have never seen his face before. He is definitely my type!”

Whether it was Liu Yang, Lu Zhen, or Mu Qingxue, they all had a certain reputation in the outer sect.
Not only were they powerful, but they were also extremely talented and had a large number of supporters.
However, compared to Su Chen’s popularity, there was still a big gap.
If it was in the past, with her beauty, Mu Qingxue could be close to Su Chen in popularity.
However, after Su Chen’s three-day efforts, it was already very difficult for her to catch up to him.
With his ancient-god-level appearance, Su Chen gained a large number of fans the moment he appeared.
The senior sisters and junior sisters all looked at him with admiration.
Even Mu Qingxue, who had always been calm and unswayed by external things, had her eyes lit up.
This was because it was the first time she had seen a man with such a perfect appearance.
“Qingxue, remember that the first requirement of the Three Thousand Purity Palace Art is to have a peaceful mind as still water. How can you let ripples undulate in your heart just because of a person’s appearance? If this goes on, when will you really reach the introductory level of the art?”
An old voice rang out in Mu Qingxue’s mind as if she had sensed the fluctuation in Mu Qingxue’s mind.
“Master, I’m sorry…”
Hearing this, Mu Qingxue quickly replied in her heart.
Then, she got mentally pacified and returned to a state where she was unaffected by external things.
“Em, remember, before you reach the introductory level of the Three Thousand Purity Palace Art, you must not have any mood swings!”
The old voice continued to speak in Mu Qingxue’s mind.
“Yes, I will definitely remember Master’s teachings!”
Mu Qingxue nodded lightly and replied in her heart.
“This brat…”
Elder Xie, who was not far away, was also slightly stunned when he saw Su Chen.
He never paid attention to a person’s appearance. In his opinion, one’s strength was something fundamental.
With a powerful cultivation base, it was only a flash of thought for a cultivator to change his appearance.
However, when seeing Su Chen again, he couldn’t help but marvel that many female cultivators would probably be heartbroken because of Su Chen.
“Will one’s appearance be improved after entering the Forbidden Stage?”
Elder Xie muttered to himself in confusion.
However, he did not dwell on this matter.
In his opinion, what most fascinated him was the powerful strength, not appearance.
Su Chen calmly ascended the peak and went to sign up in front of the two elders.
Then, he cupped his hands in Elder Xie’s direction.
…
The time it took an incense stick to burn passed quickly. The two elders stood up and announced that the registration was over.
“The outer sect trial has officially begun! Enter the field in the order of registration!”
One of the elders said loudly while looking at the many outer sect disciples.
His voice rippled with the fluctuation of his spiritual power, and the originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
Excitement appeared on the faces of the disciples.
No disciple stood out in the outer sect trials in the past few months ago.
However, this time, there was Liu Yang, Lu Zhen, Mu Qingxue, and Su Chen. Many disciples wanted to see the performance of these outer sect legends.
“The first one, Duan Cheng!”
The elder in charge of testing looked at the registration form and called out the first name.
In the crowd.
When Duan Cheng heard his name, he took a deep breath and walked out of the crowd to the front of the formation.
“This is my last hope of entering the inner sect!”
Duan Cheng clenched his fists and muttered softly.
He had to pass the outer sect trial successfully.
Different from geniuses like Liu Yang and Lu Zhen, Duan Cheng was only average in the outer sect in terms of talent, and the chances of him entering the inner sect by breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm were not high.
He was about to turn 25 years old, but if he still couldn’t break through to the Qi Sea Realm, he would be sent to some of the sect’s businesses for management.
Although his talent was only average in the Great Mystery Sect, he could be nurtured as a direct disciple in some small sects.
He gave up the opportunity to be a direct disciple of a small sect and came to the Great Mystery Sect.
If he couldn’t enter the inner sect, how could he be satisfied?
Therefore, passing the outer sect trial and becoming an inner sect disciple was his last hope!
The first test was about cultivation. The requirement was very simple as long as one was a Level Nine QI Gathering Realm cultivator.
It could not be higher nor lower than the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm
The stage was covered by the first formation. There was a crystal ball on a round stone pillar.
Duan Cheng came to stand before the crystal ball and took a deep breath. He placed his hand on the crystal ball and circulated the spirit energy in his dantian with all his might.
