Chapter 510: "Blockbustering Display of Ability! "
As Ye Ling Yue's hand inched closer and closer towards the floating object in the air, the eyes of the attendees were all starting to show contemptuous disdain over her arrogance.
It's true the girl managed to produce the rainbow variant of the reincarnation pill during the civil selection meet, but that doesn't tantamount to her spirit force being all powerful like the strongest among them. In fact, their conclusion puts the girl in the seven cauldron level at best.
"Ling Yue!" Unable to bear the horror, Xia Hou Qi runs up to grab that hand in fear of the girl doing anything impulsive.
As a result of that action, Princess Qing Bi's expression promptly turned bleak, her eyes glaring fire at the rival. Curse this slutty fox. If she dares to enter the third cave tunnel then I will have Uncle Wen kill this wench! No wait, there's no way she could do that, she's only trying to attract Brother Hou Qi's attention!
"Ling Yue, if you really want to take the number three jade then I will do it in your stead." As he says that, Xia Hou Qi was already reaching over to make a grab for it.
"Prince Hou Qi, this is not proper. Every team is only allowed one representative to pick for their teammates. If a member of another team interferes then it will automatically disqualify the involved parties." Alchemist Wei Bo hurries to speak out, stopping the boy mid-action.

Xia Hou Qi would eventually take the crown of Da Xia. This means that no matter the circumstances, he has a duty to make sure the boy remains safe out of consideration for the fifth princess's future marriage proposal and their nation's political wellbeing.
"Ye Ling Yue, you scoundrel, are you trying to turn His Highness into the sinner of Da Xia?" Hong Yu Long smugly calls out, trying hard to pin the blame onto his half-sister who he despises.
"Prince Hou Qi, don't forget who I am, I can do this myself." Pushing aside the prince, Ling Yue's cold attitude left the boy rather hurt inside.
Towards the pompousness of this self-conceited lass, the one known as Elder Wang only had a sense of contempt in his eyes. Humph, another impudent girl who doesn't know her own limits.
Perhaps its her sixth sense or just intuition, but Ling Yue's mouth suddenly jerked right before her hands made contact with the specified jade. She felt it, a deathly light from within the object. As a result, her fingers promptly shifted for the number four jade instead.
She actually took the number "four"?
The onlookers exclaimed over the sight. They are not fools, they are perfectly aware of the friction between the delegation party of the Sky Armor Sect and Da Xia team.
"Aigh, why did Ling Yue choose the fourth cave tunnel? Isn't this the same as pushing us into a collision course against those irritating people?" Lan Caier complains, gobsmacked by the choice.
"Miss Lan Caier, it's obvious I and Ling Yue are both of the same mind. The fourth cave channel is the most suitable for us." Grinning impassively, Feng Shen spreads his hand open to show the answer in which he wrote earlier. Sure enough, the number "four" could clearly be seen on his palm.
He and Ye Ling Yue's choice is exactly the same?
Number four?
Xue Pian Ran's location wasn't that far from the center of all this. That's why when the Sacred Maiden saw the results, this two-faced witch immediately revealed that satirical smile of hers.
This woman isn't dumb. If it was I then I would've chosen the fourth cave tunnel as well. But considering her cultivation, it shouldn't be enough to fend off the powers within that jade tablet.
"Hold on!" The girl's complexion shifted heavily at her love rival's intensifying spirit force.
Seven cauldron? No... eight cauldron! This fox is actually an eight cauldron alchemist!
Like everyone else, the guardian in charge of protecting the Star Cave was also taken aback by the scene. There's a visible twitch in the corner of Elder Wang's eye.
Oh crap, I forgot to attack! The old man smiles bitterly as he murmured to himself, Talk about screwing up. I've lived for a thousand years and still got tricked by a bratty girl.
In this brief opening that she's created for herself, Ling Yue's spirit force worked fast and directly crushed the jade tablet, thus allowing the energy to flow into her palm as the rest who came before herself.
"Thank you elder for showing mercy." Showing off a friendly smile, Ling Yue sends an orderly bow at the senior still sitting outside the entrance.
This undoubtedly caused another twitch in Elder Wang's eye. Huffing a grunt, a pang of annoyance becomes of that flushed face.
"That little bitch actually became an eight cauldron?" The response from the Da Xia varied greatly among its members.
However, the ones taking it the worse had to be Hong Yu Ying and Hong Yu Long. They had the look of someone being slapped across the face. This Ye Ling Yue's growth is way too fast. She was only a five cauldron alchemist when she first came to the capital, now she's already a eight cauldron alchemist.
"No, she should still be only a seven cauldron and only managed to temporarily exceed her limits using some special mean like an elixir or taboo ability." Cold in her eyes, Hong Ming Yue notes from the sidelines. She's a disciple of the Three Life Valley so of course her keenness would be better than her elder sister.

Can it be, Ye Ling Yue also knows about that "treasure" within the fourth cave tunnel? The wariness in the girl's eye only lasted for a brief moment before it disappeared.
So what if she knows what grandfather told me. She's of no concern with only that much strength.
The main driving force behind Hong Ming Yue's confidence lies in the fact that the opposition only had five team members, and some weren't even capable of self-defence. In that case, it's no different from getting a free gift to reap the blasted girl's life while they are in there. What's more, they could also gain a favor from the Sacred Maiden by leaving the Phoenix Lord's life alone. A two bird with one stone situation so how could she object?
Among the thirty something teams participating in the Star Cave Venture this year, only Ling Yue has managed to escape Elder Wang's trial by using her little slight of hand. Therefore, only she alone remains untouched by the time she returned to her original post while the others gawked at her healthy condition.
"You are too amazing Ling Yue. Look at Brother-in-law, he is simply the worm inside your stomach to be able to guess exactly the same number as you." Like the rest, Lan Caier was also deceived by her sister's act back there.
As it turns out, the real danger doesn't lie in those jade tablets, rather it's the attack from that Elder Wang following the participant's move. Of course, the drawer must also be equipped with enough power to break the seal in order to tap into the wisp of spirit force engraved into the tablet, but that's merely the first step.
