Qin Xiuyang never expected that he would run into Song Luo as soon as he entered the Immortal Realm.

"It's you! You actually dare to come here?"

"Why wouldn't I dare to come?" Song Luo looked Qin Xiuyang up and down and suddenly realized that Qin Xiuyang didn't seem so unapproachable anymore, and his cultivation level wasn't even as high as his.

This discovery left him utterly astonished. Qin Xiuyang was born with a sword physique and had been diligently taught by the Sword Master Qin Taiming, yet his cultivation was still only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Back then, Qin Xiuyang was so arrogant and disdainful of him, not even deigning to look at him. While he was still stuck in the Qi Refining stage and making no progress, Qin Xiuyang was already a Golden Core cultivator, recognized as the most talented newcomer in the Qingyang Continent, and the true successor to the Sword Venerable.

But now Qin Xiuyang has a sinister and resentful look on his face, like a villain.

Song Luo laughed. Qin Xiuyang was nothing special after all!

What I used to look up to and envy now seems like a joke.

Qin Xiuyang only had Qin Taiming, and Qin Taiming didn't seem to care for Qin Xiuyang as much as he had imagined. But it was different for him. His mother loved him wholeheartedly, and the demon uncles and aunts in Sunset Forest never held anything back from him.

Even the natural talent bestowed by heaven can be caught up through hard work and perseverance.

When Qin Xiuyang saw his smile, he felt insulted and became extremely angry.

What right does Qin Chi have to laugh? He's just a bastard abandoned and despised by his master.

But what shocked him was why a bastard could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Qin Chi, do you think you can defeat me by forcibly increasing your cultivation level by consuming pills?"

Song Luo opened her mouth in astonishment, revealing a complicated expression. So Qin Xiuyang thought that her current cultivation level was forcibly improved by pills?

Although he also consumes spiritual medicines, they are all natural treasures that genuinely restore and improve the body's constitution, unlike the pills refined by humans, which, while granting a slight increase in cultivation, do not provide high combat power and leave behind a host of hidden dangers.

In Qin Xiuyang's mind, was he really that inadequate? Or was it that Qin Xiuyang simply couldn't accept the fact that his peers were better than him?

"Whether it is or not, a comparison will tell. Also, my name is not Qin Chi, but Song Luo. I don't care for the surname Qin."

"You smooth talker, Qin Chi, I'll show you what true strength is."

Song Luo remained expressionless. Did he insist on calling her by that name to humiliate her constantly? Tsk, Qin Xiuyang's character is nothing special.

He drew his sword and stepped forward to confront Qin Xiuyang. Qin Xiuyang immediately unleashed a deadly attack, but he was not afraid. He had not been afraid when his cultivation level was low before, let alone now.

"Go to hell."

"Clang..." The two swords clashed, and the powerful sword energy forced both of them to retreat.

Qin Xiuyang's expression turned serious. He had already used his strongest attack, but Qin Chi didn't seem to be struggling at all. How could this be? You should know that ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators wouldn't dare to take his sword head-on.

"Heh, do you still think I achieved my current cultivation level by taking elixirs?"

Veins bulged on Qin Xiuyang's forehead, and then countless sword shadows materialized in front of him.

Song Luo chuckled, and green vines grew from her back. The leaves on the vines transformed into sharp little swords.

Qin Xiuyang's swordsmanship was taught by Qin Taiming, but Song Luo's swordsmanship was something he figured out on his own. Of course, he also learned many swordsmanship techniques at the beginning before relying on his talent to create the system he has today.

The sword technique he created himself may not be as systematic or powerful as the one taught by Qin Taiming, but it is more suitable for him and more flexible to use.

Another point is that no one has ever seen it, so no one knows how the moves change.

Just like Qin Xiuyang now, he has almost suffered losses several times.

Qin Xiuyang's face was extremely ugly. He thought Qin Chi was just a pretty face, but he didn't expect him to actually have the combat power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

How could this be? Qin Chi is only a half-demon!

Moreover, the more he fought, the more strained he felt, as if he was being suppressed.

He couldn't understand how Qin Chi, a half-demon, could defeat him when he clearly had the best talent.

The blood and qi surged upwards, and the toxins in the meridians were almost impossible to suppress.

Yes, it must be because of these poisons that he couldn't use his full strength.

"Qin Chi, you were only lucky this time. Once I remove the poison, I will surely kill you."

Qin Xiuyang escaped using a secret technique, and Song Luo did not pursue him. This battle must have had a great psychological impact on Qin Xiuyang, and it was also a strong affirmation for Song Luo. Qin Xiuyang was no match for Song Luo, so how far was it from defeating Qin Taiming?

The poison was just an excuse. He even killed him. After that, Qin Xiuyang would never be able to pull any tricks on him again.

"Song Luo, you did it!" The little wolf cub ran over excitedly. The two had grown up together since they were little, so they naturally knew Song Luo's obsession. Now that he had defeated Qin Xiuyang, they were very happy for him.

Song Luo laughed heartily: "Yes, I did it."

After that battle, he and the wolf cub moved to a different location to continue challenging those ferocious beasts and the unexpected traps in the secret realm.

Although this immortal realm is fraught with danger, as long as you pass the relevant tests, you will reap considerable rewards, which Song Luo enjoys immensely.

On the other side, Qin Xiuyang, who was injured, found Qin Taiming. Due to his hidden selfish motives, he did not tell Qin Taiming about his encounter with Song Luo.

"How did things get like this?" Qin Taiming frowned at him. "I thought that with your talent, you should at least be in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm by now. Don't let that bastard Qin Chi catch up with you."

These words were a devastating blow to Qin Xiuyang, because he had already been caught up, but he couldn't say it.

If I were to speak out, being scolded by my master would be a minor matter. What if my master came to believe that only Qin Chi could bring him glory from then on?

Moreover, Qin Chi is favored by the little Qilin. If the master cannot obtain the inheritance in this secret realm, why does he want to rely on the Qilin to ascend to immortality?

He knew all too well his master's obsession; he would do anything for ascension.

He couldn't gamble before he became truly strong; his current cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and he wasn't yet capable of standing on his own.

Moreover, the toxins in the body have not been eliminated, which remains a potential problem.

"Master, this poison is beyond my ability to remove. I beg for your help."

"Troublesome," Qin Taiming snorted coldly.

Qin Xiuyang lowered his head and remained silent.

"This is the last time. If problems arise again in the future, you will have to solve them yourself. Cultivation is your own business."

"yes."

Because they needed to detoxify Qin Xiuyang, the secret realm was quiet for a while. Just when everyone was wondering if Qin Taiming had left, the beast tide attacked again. Because the sect disciples were less vigilant, many of them were killed or injured this time.
