He suddenly turned his head and coincidentally saw a pair of eyes that were pitch black as ink. After a moment of absent-mindedness, she returned to normal. He was astonished. This person's facial features were very ordinary. There was nothing special about them. However, once their eyes fell on him, they were involuntarily drawn in.

Their gazes met in the air, and after looking at each other for a moment, they both seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Gu Qing frowned, the look in the other party's eyes seemed to be able to see through her heart, causing her to feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, the black-robed man stood up from the pool. His expression was the same as before, and he calmly walked to the side of the pool. Only the water droplets that dripped from the end of his black hair could be seen dripping onto the pool, causing ripples on the surface …

Gu Qing's gaze followed the ripples and spread outwards, but she was still doubtful. From the other party's performance, he could have continued to soak in the water, but why didn't he do so?

Wasn't the longer the better?

With that thought, the rest of the people in the pool climbed up the bank one after another, including the man who sat in the pool first.

A quarter of an hour later, she was the only person left in the Celestial Ascension Pool, and she was the focus of everyone's attention. All those gazes, whether it was curiosity, envy, or jealousy, fell on her.

She pursed the corner of her lips. Her mind had always been meticulous. The burning sensation on her chest made her wary. Earlier, she was clearly in excruciating pain, yet why did it suddenly stop? At this rate, it wouldn't be difficult to soak in the water for ten hours.

She did not want to become the focus of attention even before she had a clear understanding of the situation. Furthermore, that black robed man had gotten his Huaqing Palace identity plate in less time than she had, so he would definitely be able to get it as well. Thinking of this, she also stood up from the Immortal Pond.

Perhaps it was because her actions were too sudden, but the man in black also turned his gaze towards her. The corner of his mouth hooked into a faintly discernible smile, adding a trace of charm and mystery to his extremely ordinary face.

Just as Gu Qing landed on the shore, two older disciples of the Huaqing Palace approached him and congratulated him. "Congratulations, Junior Sister.

Although Gu Qing had already guessed that she would very likely to become a disciple of the Huaqing Palace, she still felt that it was a little inconceivable when her identity plate as an inner disciple fell into her hands.

A month ago, she had thought that becoming an immortal was a dream that was too far away for her to reach. But now, she was truly about to become an immortal!

She clenched her identity card in surprise and thanked the two older disciples. "Thank you, seniors."

The two Senior Brothers saw that she was courteous and smiled while saying, "Junior Sister, after entering the door, you might as well pay your respects to your senior brother and sister. Who knows, maybe you might gain something unexpected."

Gu Qing did not know what she meant, but she still thanked him with a smile.

Very quickly, she was led onto a leaf-like Flying-artifact. This magic tool's green and clear body, was like a top-quality jade, causing Gu Qing to be amazed.

With a 'sou' sound, the enormous emerald green leaf streaked across the sky in a streak of light, arriving at the entrance of a towering mountain.

Gu Qing walked down from the Flying-artifact and raised her head to look at the mountain gate that was more than thirty meters tall. Through the mountain gate, she could see several mountain peaks faintly discernible in the dense clouds. The palaces and pavilions were like the heavenly palaces.

The Gu family was considered a large family in Yang City, but she had never seen such a spectacular sight.

"Let's go!" The voice of the guiding elder brought the shocked crowd back to reality.

After walking up a hundred steps, the guide turned around and said to all the newbies, "Those who have yellow tags go to the left. Someone will lead the way. Those who have green tags will come with me."
