DRAGON EMPEROR

CHAPTER 26 Vermillion Bird Hall

The Mystical Sword Sect was divided into five halls, and each hall occupied a majestic mountain.

The Qilin Peak was in the middle, Azure Dragon Peak in the east, White Tiger Peak in the west, Vermillion Bird Peak in the south, and Onyx Tortoise Peak in the north.

A new apprentice registration test was held on the mountain before the five halls, and it was the main gate of the Mystic Sword Sect.

When Lu Ming and Qiu Yue arrived at the gate, the entire area was filled with busy and busy people. There are about tens of thousands of young people who are generally in their under twenties.

At the foot of the mountain, two wide paths led to the center of the Mystical Sword Sect.

“Those with jade credentials, heading to the right. Those without jade credentials, go left for the registration test! shouted a gallant young man with a sword on his back.

Lu Ming was told that those with jade credentials were released from the registration test and allowed to immediately join the Mystic Sword Sect. Having one in a million jade credentials signifies that the person has been tested and considered outstanding by an expert from the Mystic Sword Sect.

Lu Ming had received the jade credentials from Mu Lan, so he was naturally exempt from the registration test.

“Qiu Yue, please take the test!” Lu Ming said to Qiu Yue.

“Oh, alright, Young Master!” He's nodding.

"You can!" She smiled encouragingly at him.

The registration test includes many parts such as will test, meridian examination, meridian testing, and more.

There were professional meridian examiners there to evaluate the blood meridian level, so it didn't matter if one's blood meridians hadn't been awakened yet.

This was a good opportunity for Qiu Yue to find out what kind of blood meridians she had, so she nodded vigorously and headed straight to the left.

There was a long line of people on the left path of the mountains.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming waited outside patiently to find out Qiu Yue's results.

“Huh, why is the standard so high? I don't think I will have a chance to be accepted into the Mystic Sword Sect.”

Time and time again, Lu Ming saw people coming out miserably. Some even cry. They were the ones who had clearly failed the registration test.

Slowly, Qiu Yue disappeared into the mountains as the queue went by.

Suddenly, three rainbows appeared from within the left side of the mountain.

The rainbow pierced through the clouds and soared up into the sky, shining as bright as the sun. Three rainbows signify three unlocked divine meridians.

“What is Qiu Yue?” Lu Ming's eyes twinkled.

Upon seeing the three rainbows, chaos ensued at the main gate of the Mystical Sword Sect.

“Three rainbows! This meant that someone had opened three divine meridians! There are actually geniuses in this generation!”

“I have only opened six acupuncture points of the first divine meridian after stopping at the peak of the Beginner Realm for two years! It is impossible to compare one human with another human!”

“If the person wants, he can enter the Qilin Hall completely.”

All eyes were fixated on the rainbow direction as the chatter occurred.

Bitch!

A giant white stork flew out from within the Mystical Sword Sect and headed towards the rainbow.

“A master from the Mystic Sword Sect has appeared! This genius will soon be heading to the sky!” some people exclaimed with envy in their eyes.

“It looks like Qiu Yue has been accepted in the Mystic Sword Sect without a doubt.” Lu Ming smiled as he walked to the mountain path on the right.

There were also disciples of the Mystical Sword Sect who were guarding the entrance of the right mountain path. Since there were only a few people, Lu Ming entered easily after showing his jade credentials.

The climb is steep though not long. Shortly thereafter, a rainbow was again seen on the left side of the mountain.

This time there were two rainbows.

Right after that, there were two more rainbows.

'It looks like a gathering of geniuses in this new wave of registration!' Even Lu Ming was surprised to see two geniuses in a row with two unlocked divine meridians.

How many geniuses are in this group of people?

That's very genius.

"Very interesting!" A fighting spirit flashed before Lu Ming's eyes.

He continued on his way to the end of the mountain road, and before him was a vast square.

Back then, there were thousands of people in that square.

The square leads to four different paths, and along each lane is a ten-meter-high stone slab with one of the four great beasts (blue dragon, white tiger, and white tiger, a bright red bird, and an onyx turtle) were engraved on it.

The only path missing was the path to the Qilin Hall.

“Onyx Tortoise Hall, this way to Onyx Tortoise Hall! Join us, dear juniors, we guarantee many benefits!”

Several youths shouted with all their might at the entrance of the Onyx Tortoise Hall.

“White Tiger Hall, join us in White Tiger Hall will be the best choice you ever make! We are the second strongest hall after Qilin Hall!”

“Come, join the Azure Dragon Hall! We are the oldest among them all!”

“Vermillion Bird Hall! We have many beautiful girls here in Vermillion Bird Hall!”

One after another, voices rang out as the four halls tried their best to attract the newcomers.

The newcomers represented the new blood, and they spoke for the future of the hall, so this was very important, especially considering the intense competition between the four halls.

Newly registered apprentices are given the freedom to enter one of the four halls. People with jade credentials like Lu Ming were an exception. They were from the hall that took out pieces of jade for them.

Only the Qilin Hall operated differently.

The Qilin Hall was extremely mysterious and was the most powerful hall among the five halls. The apprentices of the Qilin Hall were carefully selected and they were all the best.

No one knew how many new apprentices the Qilin Hall would receive in a year. Moreover, it was only natural that the number of people was small.

Suddenly, something caught Lu Ming's attention from the corner of his eye.

Near the entrance of the White Tiger Hall, dressed in a white dress, Lu Yao became the center of attention.

“That's Lu Yao. I heard he awakened the Fifth Level blood meridian with two unlocked divine meridians! He was also engaged to the super genius of the Duanmu Family, Duanmu Lin. Really Cinderella's story!”

"I know! I'm so jealous! If it was me, I would wake up smiling every day.”

"you? Why is Duanmu Lin considering you?”

Several young women whispered enviously near Lu Ming.

Lu Yao's gaze swept across the entire area even as he captivated the surrounding crowd. As his gaze was fixed on Lu Ming, his face darkened as anger flashed across his eyes.

Then, he looked at the surrounding crowd and looked back at Lu Ming with a look of disdain.

Lu Ming only smiled.

Suddenly, the chirping of birds rang out from above them, and right after, a giant white stork descended. It was much larger than a regular white stork. When stretched, its wingspan reaches 20 meters.

There were two people in the white stork. One was a middle-aged woman in a golden threaded robe while the other was a beautiful young girl.

'Qiu Yue!' Lu Ming's heart was filled with excitement upon seeing the young girl.

“Gold robed elder! It was the Golden-robed Elder!”

“It really is a Gold-robed Elder! Who is that young lady? How could he attract the attention of the Golden-robed Elder?”

“In my opinion, he is a genius!”

“For whom are they here?”

The young people around shouted respectfully towards the middle-aged woman.
