"It's because of Xiao Shuang."
Lin Qingling was immediately relieved.
Her disciple was indeed exceptionally outstanding.
Lin Qingling couldn't help but say, "Xiao Shuang is indeed quite outstanding. Just now, this stone pillar seemed to have a crack..."
"It's fine, it's fine. As long as it doesn't completely collapse, it will slowly recover on its own," Fu Xiao quickly said.
Lin Qingling nodded.
As long as they didn't have to be responsible for it...
Li Shuang, however, noticed the hidden meaning in their attitudes.
A smile involuntarily appeared in her eyes.
Because of Senior Xue Luo's actions, these sect masters seemed to have misunderstood something. However... it wasn't easy to explain directly...
"Isn't Sword Sect still left with one last item to test?" Liu Qingyao couldn't help but say, "With Sword Sect's strength, why go through such a formality? Isn't it an affront to Senior to categorize you as a mere medium-tier sect?"
The Sword Sect disciples: "???"
Their strength was so little. To be rated as a medium-tier sect would already be very good.
How could it be an affront to them!
How could they not know themselves!
Lin Qingling was also a little bewildered. She quickly said, "It's already very good if we can be rated as a medium-tier sect."
If they were rated any higher, their strength wouldn't be able to support it!
The sect masters immediately understood.
Lin Qingling intended to remain low-key to the end.
The few of them quickly put on a smile.
"As long as Sect Master Lin likes it. Shall we proceed with the last item?" Qu Lan said cautiously.
She pondered.
Given Senior Lin's low-key nature, she probably didn't want any special treatment.
So, they should follow Senior's wishes and do everything according to the procedure.
Lin Qingling nodded vaguely.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
These strong cultivators in the Central Continent were too kind!
These were the sect masters of super sects, yet they treated her, a cultivator at the Integration Stage, with such respect!
Central Continent, it truly lived up to its name. The overall moral standards seemed a bit too high.
Thinking this, Lin Qingling quickly responded, "Indeed, indeed."
The sect masters immediately looked in unison at the deacon in charge of this matter.
The deacon felt a chill run down his spine.
Such a small matter, in the past, would never have required the personal attention of several sect masters!
Was the situation not obvious yet?
This Sword Sect was absolutely extraordinary!
"The third item is to assess the sect's foundation," the deacon said cautiously. "In this regard, the human strong cultivators have also created a secret treasure specifically for assessing foundation."
"Sect Master Lin only needs to place the recording stone, which records the sect's foundation, on this stone slab, and the slab will automatically conduct the test."
Lin Qingling was also a little nervous.
She had known about this testing method beforehand and had made some preparations.
The foundation of the Sword Sect.
One was the Sword Pavilion, which could nurture sword spirits.
Two was various secret techniques and manuals.
Three was the surrounding resources.
She had already made recordings of these things.
The stone slab would judge based on the content. For a beginner-tier sect's foundation, the slab would glow green. For a medium-tier sect's foundation, the slab would glow yellow. A high-tier sect would glow red, and the highest-tier, a super-tier sect, would glow gold.
Lin Qingling cautiously placed the recording stone on it.
The stone slab immediately began its test.
Everyone looked on with some nervousness.
Whether Sword Sect could pass depended on this one attempt.
However.
More nervous than the three sects' members were the sect masters of the super sects.
Senior Lin was low-key and insisted on following procedures.
But!
This stone slab had better be sensible and let Sword Sect pass. Otherwise, if the Human Race's supreme strong cultivator became angry, how could they bear the consequences!
However.
Then again.
With the foundation of the Human Race's supreme strong cultivator, how could it possibly fail such a test!
They were overthinking it!
Under everyone's nervous gaze, the slab's test came to an end.
Finally.
A ray of light lit up.
The whole place fell silent for a moment.
Green... green light!
It was actually the green light, representing a beginner-tier sect.
The eyes of the three sects' members dimmed.
Was the standard for a medium-tier sect this high?
Were the sects of the Southern Aral Continent truly too far behind those of the Central Continent!
The sect masters of the super sects completely panicked. They never expected this stone slab to be so insensible!
The sect masters were about to say something.
Suddenly.
A voice rang out.
"Sect Master, you just picked up the wrong recording stone," Xue Luo suddenly stepped forward and handed a new recording stone to Lin Qingling.
Lin Qingling was startled.
Huh?
This person is...
She subconsciously glanced at Li Shuang.
Li Shuang nodded slightly.
Lin Qingling, though puzzled, still took it.
"Hahahaha, so it was a mistake," Fu Xiao quickly said. "I knew it, how could Sword Sect possibly fail the assessment!"
"Exactly!"
"Senior Lin, please begin the second test."
Lin Qingling vaguely placed the new recording stone on it.
The next moment.
The stone slab suddenly went crazy, lighting up with various colors: red, orange, yellow, green.
Finally.
To Lin Qingling's astonished expression, a golden light shot up into the sky, breaking through the clouds.
Lin Qingling: "???"
The sect masters of the super sects also showed a hint of astonishment.
The intensity of this golden light was even more terrifying than that of their own sects!
Was this the foundation of the Human Race's supreme strong cultivator?
It was simply terrifying!!!
The scene was also filled with confusion.
A minor sect, wanting to be rated as a medium-tier sect.
The result...
This sect, which didn't even have many people, directly produced a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius.
Then.
It also directly possessed a foundation that surpassed super sects.
What kind of unique sect was this!!
"Con... congratulations, Sect Master Lin, congratulations, Sword Sect! The assessment for a medium-tier sect, Sword Sect has passed," Qu Lan quickly said.
"Yes, yes, yes, perfectly passed."
The other few also eagerly offered their congratulations.
Lin Qingling looked helplessly at Li Shuang.
So... what exactly is going on?
Xue Luo looked at Lin Qingling's bewildered expression and couldn't help but show a mischievous smile.
No wonder Lin An used to love showing off. This feeling is quite interesting.
Lin Qingling was still in a daze.
Suddenly.
Turbulence appeared in the sky.
Everyone looked over in astonishment.
The first to appear was the City Lord's lightning Dharma body.
Subsequently, the other supreme strong cultivators also sent their clones.
In an instant, all five great supreme strong cultivators arrived!
How could a small event like a Sect Grand Assembly trouble the five great supreme strong cultivators to come?
The sect masters of the super sects all looked at Lin Qingling.
Supreme strong cultivators only paid attention to other supreme strong cultivators.
Their arrival this time must be for this reclusive supreme strong cultivator: Lin Qingling!
Lin Qingling was a little bewildered by the way these sect masters were looking at her.
No!
Why are you all looking at her!!
Xue Luo looked up at the clones of the five great supreme strong cultivators, her eyes indifferent.
The only human she trusted now was Li Shuang.
As for the other supreme strong cultivators, she had no intention of forming deep friendships with them.
