After Gu Xuan arrived at Yang Yu's residence, the two of them continued with their sparring martial arts.
Of course, during the exchange of pointers, Gu Xuan also learned a few things about Flame Devil Ancient Mansion from Yang Yu. The two were both geniuses, their time was precious, so naturally, they had to settle everything together.
After exchanging blows for six hours, Gu Xuan had gained a certain level of understanding towards Flame Devil Ancient Mansion. Flame Devil Ancient Mansion, was a cave left behind by a Emperor Level Expert, the Flame Devil.
This Flame Devil was already a person from a few thousand years ago. However, there was a unique Protection Barrier in the cave that was unable to be broken through by Martial Cultivator who were also from the Emperor Level.
The Ancient Mansion would open once every hundred days, but there was also a limit to entering the Ancient Mansion. One of them was that the age limit was over twenty, and the second was that the realm could not be higher than the Nine Stars Sovereign Level.
To Gu Xuan's surprise, Ancient Mansion itself was not dangerous at all. Although there was an examination, it was very safe as well, and the reason for such a high death rate was mainly because Flame Devil Ancient Mansion were not exclusive to one family, but rather South-East Region were shared by dozens of people.
Amongst these sects, Ying Tian Sect was the weakest, so they were mostly excluded.
When they were fighting over treasures, they would often get killed, and that was the reason why so many people had lost their lives.
To be able to cause so many geniuses to fight to the death, the treasures within the Flame Devil Ancient Mansion had naturally increased to a very impressive extent.
Therefore, even if the death rate was this high, there would still be restrictions on the number of people allowed to enter Flame Devil Ancient Mansion. Large Sects could be entered by one hundred people, Medium Sects Twenty people, and Small Sects Five.
Even though Ying Tian Sect reigned supreme for several dynasties and was considered an overlord of a region, it was only a side street for the entire region of South-East Region. There wasn't even a single Emperor Level Expert and it could only be considered a weak person with Small Sects.
Thus, the quota was extremely limited. Every single one of them was enough to make many geniuses turn red in the face and ears.
Gu Xuan was also quite helpless towards this, thinking back to when he had casually exterminated the Heavenly Demon Sect. They were all super sects, and his disciple had muddled along for a hundred years, yet only created a single Small Sects, which was truly a little pitiful.
There were only five ice crystal Cold Marrow left, and after five days, all of them had been completely refined by Gu Xuan.
Because Gu Xuan had went over alone to ask questions, the Honored Disciple Wang had also ignored Gu Xuan, and was even a bit ridiculing him.
Although Yang Yu was the one who arranged the purchase of the new ice crystal Cold Marrow from the sect, it wasn't something that Yang Yu needed to do, so he was too lazy to do it.
Gu Xuan had roughly guessed what had happened, but he could not do anything about it. After all, he was not his follower, so no matter what he did, he could do nothing and leave it at that.
Once he completes the sect's trials, he would also receive the same treatment as Yang Yu, and would also be able to set up some independent exchange points within the Myriad Treasures Palace. At that time, it would be much more convenient, and he could even request for some other treasures.
As for now, Gu Xuan was too lazy to cause trouble, after all, this Enforcer Wang was still Yang Yu's subordinate, so it would be better for him to deal with him.
Gu Xuan could only purchase a Heavenly And Earthly Treasures at the same price, but its quality was only a High Huang Level one.
High level Yellow Rank could only absorb about twenty percent of it, which was completely incomparable to the fifty percent of the ice crystal Cold Marrow. However, the price was still about the same, which made Gu Xuan feel extremely helpless.
In these five days, Gu Xuan's improvement was relatively average, and most of the time was spent sparring with Yang Yu.
On the morning of the tenth day, Yang Yu left with Gu Xuan, heading to the gathering place for the Flame Devil Ancient Mansion participants.
They were all disciples of the Ying Tian Sect, and after entering the Ancient Mansion, they had to try their best to come together as well. If not, not to mention being unable to deal with those medium-sized Large Sects, they wouldn't even be able to withstand the other Small Sects.
At the gathering place, three men and one woman sat there. Three of them had ugly expressions on their faces.
"What exactly does the sect mean by this? Didn't they say that the Flame Devil Ancient Mansion's test is completely fair? Why did they add another Two Stars Sovereign Level?" Amongst the four of them, the woman couldn't help but complain. She was extremely dissatisfied.
"That's right, even if the sect cultivates a genius so that Gu Xuan can enter the Flame Devil Ancient Mansion to hone his skills as soon as possible, they would have to wait until he's a six star expert of the Five Stars Sovereign Level. At that time, even though it won't have any effect, it won't drag him down."
A black-faced young man also shook his head, "If the four of us were to travel together and need to protect such a Two Stars Sovereign Level, how many deaths would we have? Even if we don't die, how many treasures would we get?"
"Yan He, stop complaining, the one who is most angry right now should be Gu Peng." The young girl chuckled as she looked at a gloomy-faced young man beside her.
"Humph!" The young man let out a cold snort.
Gu Xuan's arrival only annoyed the other three, and it didn't have much effect for the time being. Even if it did, it would be a matter of the future, and Gu Peng hated Gu Xuan to the bones right now.
He also had a disciple named Gu Cheng. The two of them were of similar strength, and it had been difficult for them both to get into the top five. He was number four and Gu Cheng was number five.
Originally, the two of them should have had the qualifications to enter the Flame Devil Ancient Mansion. Together, they were more likely to obtain treasures and survive.
"Alright." A slightly older youth sitting at the very front waved his hand and said, "Since it's a sect's arrangement, there's a reason for it. Don't tell me that you think the sect doesn't know about what you're doing?"
"Senior Brother Xue Feng is right." The young girl said somewhat helplessly.
The black-faced young man also stopped his discontent and shook his head. He didn't care what the sect thought. He was just unwilling to bring a burden, that was all.
Xue Feng looked at the three of them and furrowed his brows slightly. Even though bringing a weak person to take the test made him feel helpless, as his leader, what he was most afraid of was the internal conflict between the teams.
In fact, even he, who had always been magnanimous, was rather disgusted by the sect's decision.
To arrange a weak person, disregarding the fairness, it was very likely that four of them would lose their lives. In a battle of life and death in the Flame Devil Ancient Mansion, dozens of people could die for a single treasure, and this was not a joke.
"I hope that Gu Xuan is tactful, and does not give me any trouble, I will tolerate his weak points, as for Liu Ying and the rest's relationship with Gu Xuan, we will slowly adjust it."
