At the foot of Tianyun Mountain, in Qiantang, in a painting boat on West Lake.
A woman was sitting on the floor at a small table with several exquisite side dishes and a pot of sake.
Her red dress was like fire, her feet were bare, and her smooth calves were exposed under the hem of the skirt. As the sake entered her throat, she closed her eyes, letting out a satisfied moan from her throat, and her exquisite toes curled up comfortably.
"No wonder everyone in this world wants to dominate the country. It's really a world of mortals, and every inch of it is ecstasy." She held her chin with one hand and looked at the wine glass in her hand. The clear wine in the glass reflected her blood-like eyes. .
On Tianyue Mountain, several days passed. As the competition progressed, more and more people were eliminated. Qingya, who fell to the loser group in the first round, struggled all the way and experienced nearly twice as many battles as Hua Qing'er, who was soaring in the winner group.
"The sixteenth match of the lower bracket of the Herringbone Arena No. 3, Yaoguang Peak Qingya wins."
After the number of people competing in the competition decreased, the number of arenas in Liuyun Square also gradually decreased. Now there are only three huge arenas left in the square. The judge responsible for the judgment has also been replaced by a senior disciple of Tianyun's generation. The top 100 people in this competition have all been competed for. Starting tomorrow, there will be a qualifying competition for the top 100 people.
"Qingya, this way." As soon as Qingya stepped off the ring, he saw Hua Qing'er jump to his side and patted his shoulder twice.
"That's okay, brat. If you can defeat a disciple who is two levels higher than yourself in cultivation, you finally got the official disciple spot."
"Hey, be gentle, aren't you afraid that you will knock me apart now?" Qingya moved his shoulders a few times, stretched out and continued, "Fortunately, the senior brother's realm in Ji Peak was not stable just that day. , otherwise the outcome this time will be unpredictable. Sigh, I really envy you guys in the winner group. After just a few competitions, you have already entered the top 100. I regret that I was impulsive in the first place." Qingya made a pose. A look of great grief.
"Okay, isn't this what you asked for? Make full use of this competition opportunity and experience the battle as hidden as possible." Hua Qing'er demolished someone's steps in time.
"That's what I said, don't be so merciless." Qing Ya smiled bitterly and admitted defeat.
"I won't tell you anymore. The rankings will be determined starting tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest and adjust to your best condition to face tomorrow's competition."
"The same goes for you, Sister Qing'er. I hope we can meet in the finals eventually."
After the two separated, they each returned to their own residences.
That night, Qingya sat on his bed, methodically absorbing the spiritual energy around him and guiding them to flow through his meridians, eventually flowing into the sea of energy in his Dantian. Over and over again, dim fluorescence lit up on Qingya's body. Qingya felt a ray of light rushing out of the sea of qi, heading straight from Dantian to Tianling Gai without any hindrance. The light rushed out of Qingya's head, illuminating the dim room. Got to be bright.
"Oh, I thought I could directly skip the level tonight and enter the sixth level of Foundation Establishment in one step. How can I reach the fifth level of Foundation Establishment?" After days of fighting, Qingya finally made a further breakthrough tonight, but he still Not very satisfied with the progress this time.
Dong-dong-dong, while Qing Ya was distressed, he heard knocks on the door.
"Huh? There's no one I know well on the main peak. Who would come to see me so late? Could it be Sister Qing'er, but how did she know my room?" With doubts, Qingya got up and got dressed. Shoes, walked over and opened the door.
The night outside is as cool as water, and in the soft moonlight, Liu Bailu is dressed in white like snow, as proud as snow and cold plums, peerless and independent.
"Master, why are you here?" Unexpectedly, Liu Bailu, who was supposed to be at Yaoguang Peak, came to visit, and Qingya couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.
"I've calculated that you should have a breakthrough tonight, so I came over to see how it went?" Liu Bailu looked cold and walked into the room and sat directly on the bed.
"I just completed the breakthrough a moment ago, and you are here, Master. However, I thought I could jump into the sixth level this time, but I didn't expect that I would only reach the fifth level of foundation building." Qingya waved his hand helplessly and sat down. Liu Bailu came to his side.
"Today I faced off against a disciple who had just entered the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. Although I won in the end, I was already a bit weak. In the next competition, I am afraid that I will live up to Master's expectations." Qingya fell back. , lying on the bed.
Seeing the somewhat lost look in his eyes, Liu Bailu's eyebrows softened a bit. He asked softly: "Do you know why I broke my own rules and accepted you as my disciple three years ago?"
"Of course it's because I'm a genius."
Qingya wanted to liven up the dull atmosphere, but Liu Bailu was not Hua Qing'er, and his expression did not change at all because of these words.
"In the past, the chiefs of each peak chose their own disciples. Naturally, I would not join in the fun, but every time the headmaster would recommend a few disciples to me, hoping that I could accept them. Each of them is a person with excellent qualifications. , and my rules are the same as now, as long as they can take my three moves, I agree to accept disciples, but none of them can pass, do you know why?"
"Maybe I'm more resistant to beatings."
"You were so thin back then, how could you compare with those who have been cultivated since childhood. When they find that the air around them is solidified and unable to dodge, they often give up dodging. Even if they withstand the first attack, they will not be able to dodge. I also gave up the challenge because of my injury. But you are different. Even if you are imprisoned, you will try your best to break free. Even after your arm is broken and your knee is shattered, you still never give up. This kind of persistence is something I have never seen before. .”
Liu Bailu put his palm on Qingya's forehead: "Remember, you are the person chosen by me, Liu Bailu, and you are better than anyone else. Even though your qualifications are not the best, qualifications are not everything in practice. My apprentice must be stronger than anyone else."
Her palms were cold and they pressed against her forehead, making people feel drowsy.
"Your cultivation level is still low now, so you don't have to blindly pursue the realm. If you have some flaws in your qualifications, you must lay a solid foundation and don't overthrow the achievements. Besides, you were taught by me. As long as the realm on the other side does not exceed the golden elixir , there may not be no chance of winning, you have to have confidence in your master."
Liu Bailu, who had always been taciturn, uncharacteristically spoke so many words tonight in order to correct Qingya's mood.
After he finished speaking, Liu Bailu felt Qingya put his palm on the back of his hand. The warmth of Qingya's palm came from the back of his hand. Liu Bailu quietly withdrew his palm, but Qingya didn't react at all. At this moment, he was already heavy. fall asleep.
"He is still a child after all. He fell asleep without taking off his clothes and shoes." Liu Bailu took off Qingya's coat and shoes, carefully helped him adjust his posture, and covered him with a quilt. Finally, he looked He glanced at Qingya who was sleeping, then walked out of the room, closed the door, and shut out the night as well.
