In the rivers of history, no one knew how many talented and exceptional cultivators died prematurely . Also, the trials had their own rules . Yantai Guanjian, regardless of the pity he felt, knew that this black-robed youth would bring changes after passing this event .
“Who is he?”
As this black-robed youth waded through the water and got closer to the exit, many teachers on the cliff finally noticed his existence . They finally discovered he would be the second to pass after Ding Ning .
“Who is that youth?”
In the tent, Palace Attendant Rong looked with raised eyebrows at the yellow-robed middle-aged man who came back to report and asked irritably .
The yellow robed middle-aged man said respectfully, “Ye Zhengnan, taking the spot of Sandalwood Heart Monastery . ”
“Sandalwood Heart Monastery?”
Palace Attendant Rong looked at the yellow-robed middle-aged man who left at her orders and sneered .
This was a cultivation monastery that belonged to the Ba Mountain region . While it possessed the qualifications to attend the Min Mountain Sword Trials, it had been in decline long ago . For many years, no one from there had come to Changling . She did not believe that such a genius, not noticed by the wider world, would suddenly come from a cultivation place like that .
She only cared about whose person this Ye Zhengnan belonged to .

The black-robed youth moved closer to the green palace exit . All of the teachers on the cliff felt very complicated .
Sandalwood Heart Monastery had no teachers that had come to Changling . If they had known of the youth’s strength and had hopes for the youth, someone must have accompanied him . Especially, when this Ye Zhengnan passed multiple events far ahead of the other geniuses of Changling . This would be a great glory to small cultivation places . So this matter was extremely odd .
The teachers of the cultivation places here were not very skilled in medicine . They did not know why this black-robed youth could safely pass this event . However, they knew that this black-robed youth was like Lie Yinghong, and was on a certain mission .
In their sight, the black-robed youth Ye Zhengnan floated towards the green palace like a shadow . Guarding the entrance to the palace was that elegant man who did not look like a swordsman but a teacher .
When Ye Zhengnan’s figure appeared in front of him, he was intently reading from the bamboo scroll in his hand, his expression peaceful and tinged with joy . Yet the moment the elegant man in green robes saw Ye Zhengnan, he quickly changed his expression . He did not even say much, just moving quickly to the side and pointing at the stairs behind him, saying, “There is the exit . ”
Ye Zhengnan bowed in thanks and moved past him onto the breezy stairs without a word .
It was already sunrise in the mountain valley .
Ding Ning had just finished treating the wounds on his body . He was extremely tired and wanted to search for a spot to rest for a moment . Yet, he quickly sensed an unusual presence . Then the numerous little silkworms in his body started to move!
The invisible little silkworms started to tremble madly deep in his flesh, flooding out . Ding Ning’s body uncontrollably started to tremble .
Ding Ning took a deep breath . The little silkworms that wanted to charge out of his body were forced back down as he breathed and they quickly quieted in his body . He leaned against a pillar with a calm expression . His gaze did not immediately move towards the stairs, but on the ground next to him .

There was an ugly deep red worm next to him . This was the black ice worm that Qing Yaoyin had gifted him .
This black ice worm had been seriously injured in the sea of brambles and then given a great fright by him . It had never seen the dark night before, and had fainted . Yet, at this time, as Ding Ning’s little silkworms erupted, this black ice worm woke up in fright . Its body trembled on the ground and then it did all it could to escape Ding Ning’s side .
Ding Ning’s gaze landed on it .
Ding Ning did not move at all . His gaze flashed and he released some of the invisible little silkworms in his body .
When those invisible little silkworms moved again in Ding Ning’s body, the black ice worm trembled even more . Even its resolve to flee was completely destroyed and it quickly curled into a ball .
Ding Ning put away the invisible little silkworms and ignored this deep red ugly worm curled up by his feet . It was not that he did not care about this ugly worm . This ugly worm had power near a realm three cultivator . Being able to tame it would mean he would get a very good attendant . Also, from its display, its senses surpassed powerful cultivators .
Qing Yaoyin was one of the top people in the Min Mountain Sword Sect, and this sect was an existence the world had to look up to . The gift he had given would have endless potential and would not be as simple . Ding Ning was also not an ordinary cultivator . He faintly felt that this ugly worm’s use in his hands would be greater than Qing Yaoyin imagined . So he looked uncaring only because he knew the process of taming a beast .
The hardest part of taming a beast was to make them feel terror .
The hardest part of taming a beast was to make them feel terror . And although this was the hardest step, he easily accomplished this now . This black ice worm was different from the naturally born beasts in the world, but it had considerable intelligence . So he did not need to deliberately do anything . He only needed to take along this ugly worm, and over time, it would slowly comprehend his intentions .
The Min Mountain Sword Trials was a great gamble to him . And this ugly worm was an unexpected gain . Would he have other unexpected gains in this great event?
Or, would he lose and die?

A black shadow appeared in his sight .
Ye Zhengnan walked in the sunlight and came close to him .
Ding Ning looked calmly at this black-robed youth of similar age to him . He found the black-robed youth was dripping water, and left behind a clear water trail . The water marks rippled with faint black oily lines people would not see if they weren’t attentive .
These black lines came from Ye Zhengnan’s clothes, like how his black robes were fading in color after being soaked .
But Ding Ning knew that the black color had come out of the skin . Ye Zhengnan’s skin pores were seeping threads of black oily water .
Ding Ning’s expression was still calm . Not even his gaze visibly changed . However, his thoughts changed rapidly .
He slowly sniffed and carefully scented the smell in the water . Then he caught a complicated scent .
The black lines rippling through the water carried a faint rose fragrance, then a sweet cool milky fragrance and then quickly changed into a strong spicy scent .
He frowned . He could not recognize this kind of medicinal power . At least, in his memories, he had never encountered such medicines . But he was certain that the power of the medicines was something this black-robed youth could not withstand .
Yantai Guanjian could not immediately understand why Ye Zhengnan had easily passed through the sea of brambles without any harm . But he, like Qing Yaoyin, immediately recognized that this black-robed youth was a medicine person .
“You are a death warrior . ”
People would be wary of things they did not understand . So Ding Ning spoke without hesitation towards Ye Zhengnan who walked under the eaves . “Whose family do you come from?”
Ye Zhengnan raised his head .
His features were ordinary, but his face was not large so he appeared delicate . His expression was calm and had a clear hint of surprise .
“Thank you . ”
He did not answer Ding Ning’s question, and bowed seriously, stating his thanks .
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows and said, “Why thank me?”
“Because I thought I would be the first to pass through the sea of brambles . I thought I would have to wait here for you, or I may not be able to wait for your arrival . If I wasn’t able to wait for you, then my death would become worthless . ” Ye Zhengnan looked at Ding Ning and said sincerely . “I had not expected you to be here… you are more exceptional than I thought . ”
Ding Ning gazed into his eyes and said slowly, “You did not come to kill me?”
“This is Min Mountain Sword Sect . Even if I came to kill you, I will die faster than you if I act here” Ye Zhengnan laughed and said softly, “Of course I did not come to kill you, I came to help you . ”
“Thank you,” Ding Ning nodded and then said softly, “Then we return to the question . Whose family do you come from?”
