The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Bai Lian Sect.

Mo Xian continued walking with Wu Jiao Xing through the city streets and occasionally asked people where Bai Lian's sect was located.

Most people they meet say they just need to follow the main road and follow the road to the mountain ahead, they said the sect was at the foot of a mountain that they called the Old Orchid mountain.

After some time, they actually saw the sect building from the top of the mountain, even they could also see the ranks of people who were in the middle of the sect courtyard who were practicing martial arts.

"People said the registration time was open today ...," Mo Xian said walking down the mountain. He was a little enthusiastic about the sect admission, maybe it would be the same as entering school in general.

But in fact, it is completely different. The entry requirements to the sect were quite simple, participants only had to be under the age of seventeen, taking a cultivation level test by touching a magic stone provided by the sect.

The moment Mo Xian reached the registration place, Mo Xian could not help but worry as he looked at the long snaking queue when the sun had been overhead while the registration was closed just as the sun was sinking.

However, his worries proved nothing. The registration process turned out to be very fast, two supervisors will ask the age of the participants and have the participants touch a head-sized black stone lying on the table.

When Mo Xian's turn came, two supervisors who looked like seven to eighteen asked his name.

"What's your name?" asked one young man who was standing next to the young man who was sitting holding a brush, in charge of writing.

"Mo Xian," Mo Xian replied.

"How old are you?" ask the young man again.

"Twelve."

The writing youth nodded and rolled up the paper containing Mo Xian's name before placing it on the black stone.

"Put your hands here" the seated youth ordered.

Mo Xian complied and placed his hand right on the paper scroll that was placed on the black stone.

As Mo Xian placed his hand on the black stone, a white light appeared above his hand, a small rabbit shaped in white smoke appeared and looked at Mo Xian for a long time.

The supervisor who felt that something was strange noticed how the magical creature occupant of the magic stone stared at Mo Xian for a long time, but he could not ask because the creature was obviously not going to answer.

After a few minutes had passed, the creature suddenly floated up and surrounded Mo Xian, watching him from all angles before returning to the top of the back of his hand.

"Mo Xian, twelve years old, Sky level seven," said the creature making everyone shocked to the point of throwing a glance at Mo Xian. Even Mo Xian himself was shocked as well.

For a martial practitioner, it would take a long time to practice and cultivate in order for them to level up, but Mo Xian could not understand how his levels rose that fast, either, while he was still at the Eternal Snow Dew plains Mo Xian was still at the fifth level and he also did not train much while at home as he had to help Li Zhou Ran who was busy preparing for the party and the matter regarding the blood spell mask was also quite time consuming for Mo Xian to think. So how could he rise two levels in such a short period of time? No one knows.

Wu Jiao Xing who was standing behind Mo Xian to wait his turn also looked surprised to the point that his eyes were bulging, no different from the people who managed to catch the remark of the creature including Bai Yue who immediately squeezed out her own hand.

The two supervisors on duty were probably surprised, but the two immediately corrected their expressions and told Mo Xian to raise his hand after the creature entered into the back of his hand and formed a lotus-like pattern that bloomed on the back of his hand.

"This pattern will be your identity. Officially you have been accepted into Bai Lian's sect. Next one!"

Mo Xian thanked him and walked away a little further to give Wu Jiao Xing a place and wait for him.

Mo Xian saw that the creature that appeared was different from his, it was the white smoke that formed a snake and said that Wu Jiao Xing was fourteen years old with a fifth level earth cultivation, it was still unchanged even though he had already consumed the heart pills Hongbaoshi and Bai Xin.

After the registration time, Mo Xian followed the directions given to gather in a fairly spacious courtyard, but it was also not the main courtyard that Mo Xian saw while he was on the mountain.

Mo Xian gathered with the people who were accepted into Bai Lian's sect, they were all told to wait for the next direction.

Mo Xian noticed the lotus flower pattern that was on the back of his hand, as he paid more careful attention and compared it to Wu Jiao Xing's, it actually had a difference.

"Gege, why aren't Gege's patterns perfect?" mo Xian asked, noticing how Wu Jiao Xing's lotus flower pattern did not bloom perfectly.

Wu Jiao Xing was about to reply when a girl suddenly interrupted them.

"That's because the spiritual core isn't perfect yet" said the two-headed girl with a flower-shaped hairpin on her head. "The lotus flower pattern not only shows that we are disciples of Bai Lian's sect, but it also indicates one's cultivation level." He nodded with a sweet smile.

Mo Xian and Wu Jiao Xing noticed the girl dressed in pink hanfu was like she was the same age as Mo Xian, petite in stature with a melon face, big eyes and a charming smile, she said, Mo Xian could tell this was the kind of girl that would become a popular girl in school.

"When the lotus flower pattern in your hand blooms perfectly, it means that you have refined your spiritual energy core and have entered the sky level. " The girl continued her explanation while shaking her legs and holding her hand like a girl who was wanting something by showing the sweetest smile she had.

Mo Xian nodded. "Ah, like that. We have not received such an explanation before. Thanks for the explanation."

Wu Jiao Xing noticed how the behavior of the girl in front of him was actually similar to the girls who were trying to approach his young master in the Four Stones city, acting timidly, developing a smile and hoping for the attention of his young master.

"Your brother is a member of this sect?" asked Mo Xian.

The girl nodded, still maintaining her cat's timid smile.

"Mm, my elder brother is actually a senior disciple at Bai Lian, he is a reliable person. If you want, I can introduce you ... Ah, right, how could I forget," said the girl before patting her eel.

"I'm Zhang Rouruan, and what's your name?"

Mo Xian smiled until his dimples appeared. "I'm Mo Xian, and this is Gegeku Wu Jiao Xing."

The girl noticed how Mo Xian's smile was pleasant to look at and could not help but smile shyly until her cheeks blushed. "Good name, but why are your clans different?"

"Ah, it's because we're foster brothers."

The girl nodded back and became understanding before returning to smile. "Ah, right! I almost forgot, I saw you during the registration earlier and accidentally heard the words of the guardian beast, you really are already at the seventh level of the sky at this young age, you are truly amazing! How can you do that?"

Mo Xian could only scratch his non-itchy neck, not knowing how he should deal with it. Instead he let out a dry laugh and glanced at Wu Jiao Xing who was still standing beside him like a statue carved with his hands folded, silent no matter.

From the information he had heard from Li Huan, the people from the Xin Yue continent had a slower cultivation speed than the Yuan Xing continent, he said, that was why the people of the Xin Yue continent became weaker than Yuan Xing.

"I practiced as usual ...," Mo Xian replied slightly stiffly.

The girl's eyebrows are linked. "As usual what is it like? Did you also consume magic pills for your cultivation progress?"

Mo Xian could only laugh, he did not know how to explain his training process while at home. Instead Mo Xian tried to ask Wu Jiao Xing for help to answer the girl's question by pinching Wu Jiao Xing, but Wu Jiao Xing still did not budge, not wanting to engage in their chatter.

"Of course, that's for sure!" a voice answered the girl's question and made Mo Xian, Wu Jiao Xing turned to the source of the voice. It was Bai Ruo and Bai Yue!

Some more! And that made Wu Jiao Xing uncomfortable.

"Otherwise, how could one increase his cultivation so quickly at such a young age?" bai Ruo said in a mocking tone.

The girl nodded. "Ah, the rich are indeed very lucky. Didn't the boy beside you have also managed to enter the first level of the sky?"

Bai Ruo looked at Bai Yue who was silent beside him. "My ego and that person are clearly different. My Gegeku worked very hard training and cultivating every day to be able to enter the sky level at such a young age. Unlike him who might use a lot of gold coins to buy magic pills."

Mo Xian who heard him could only sigh, he did not like to argue, but the human next to him who was previously just a statue was like finding a trigger to anger him.

"Who said that my young master took pills to increase his cultivation base. If you don't know anything, take care of your mouth, little boy!" said Wu Jiao Xing angrily.

Bai Ruo also did not want to lose and got angry while pointing with his finger. "Who do you call a child! I told you our age difference is only one year, it means nothing at all."

Wu Jiao Xing chuckled. "While I was born first, when I saw the world you were still in the belly, you will forever be a child in my eyes!"

"You!"

Bai Ruo was already preparing to hit Wu Jiao Xing if Bai Yue did not stop him in time and dragged him away without saying anything, leaving the happy Wu Jiao Xing and the confused Mo Xian with Bai Yue's attitude that further changed every time she saw him. Bai Yue in her eyes changed from a ferocious cat into a quiet cat.

"Gee! What are you doing, let me hit him! Why are you blocking me, if master Bai Xue sees it, he won't be happy if we just keep quiet when others are humbling us, this isn't the way Magic Snow Dew is!"

Bai Yue looked coldly at her sister. "If you still want to come with me, you better go my way. Master Bai Xue is not here."

Bai Ruo gasped. "What do you mean?"

"I don't want to follow in the footsteps of master Bai Xue who was aggressively attacking the opponent. I'll show you if I can surpass that kid without speaking nonsense" Bai Yue said before walking away.

Bai Ruo was speechless looking at Bai Yue's back, still clueless with her brother's words, wasn't it the same as their master Bai Xue's principle which stated that the Eternal Snow Dew people should be stronger than the outer plains people, don't be easily satisfied and don't give mercy to the opponents, if you need to find an opponent who is stronger than yourself and fight with him to become the strongest. Bai Ruo really did not understand.
