Chapter 6 Epiphany
No matter how difficult it was for Qin Tian to accept it, the girl in the projection had already climbed 1,700 steps.
And at this moment, she had no intention of stopping, and continued to climb up with gritted teeth.
Qin Tian, who had secretly mocked Xianyue for her poor vision before, couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment. After all, the scores of the two sisters were so close. What if Xie Liuyin really surpassed Xie Mingzhu?
"I told you, she will definitely win." Xianyue had no idea what his nephew was thinking. When he saw the stubborn and unyielding look of the little girl in the projection, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Qin Tian felt very uncomfortable after hearing this: "Little Master, don't be too happy too soon. Xie Liuyin looks like a spent force now. She is still two hundred stone steps away from Xie Mingzhu!"
Xianyue's smile remained unchanged: "It's okay, we'll just wait and see."
Qin Tian gritted his teeth when he heard this, and his eyes became more and more unfriendly when he looked at Xie Liuyin in the projection.
The elders' bet did not affect Xie Liuyin at all. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and without looking at the long steps above her head that disappeared into the clouds, she just lowered her head and kept climbing up.
She didn't count how many steps she climbed, but she was vaguely aware that she had passed the entrance test. Next, Xie Liuyin just wanted to test herself with the long steps to see where her limit was.
I don’t know how long I climbed, but Xie Liuyin fell into a state of complete oblivion.
It seemed as if the whole world consisted of nothing but herself and the stone steps beneath her feet. She could only hear her own breathing and her gradually accelerating heartbeat.
Finally, when Xie Liuyin stepped onto another step, she suddenly felt light all over, as if a barrier that had bound her for many years was suddenly punctured.
A stream of spiritual energy suddenly surged into Xie Liuyin's body, making her feel extremely comfortable.
"Hiss! Is this a sudden enlightenment?!" An elder in the hall suddenly screamed in surprise.
Apart from him, the expressions of everyone else present were also very interesting. After all, the little girl who was not optimistic about the beginning, not only climbed the 1,900 steps quietly, but also had an epiphany on the spot when she walked 2,000 steps!
The elders could only see that the golden spiritual energy that had been quietly surrounding Xie Liuyin suddenly found its home and rushed into her body frantically.
This young girl, who had not yet formally entered the sect, was able to draw Qi into her body under such circumstances!
"Yes, it is indeed an epiphany!" Sect Master Kunshan couldn't help but nod and smile, "As expected of the Xie family's bloodline, this pair of sisters has such outstanding talent. I believe that as long as we teach them well, our Qingxiao Sect will have two more outstanding disciples in the future!"
As soon as the sect leader said this, the elders tactfully congratulated them and also praised the two sisters from the Xie family.
But don’t be fooled by the smiles on the faces of these elders. Those who had made bets with Xianyue before are now regretting it deeply.
Especially Qin Tian, he was very concerned about his reputation and usually looked down on Xian Yue, the lazy and unruly junior uncle.
Now, not only did he lose the bet, but he also had to pay Xianyue half a year's salary!
There is no way Qin Tian could be happy.
At this time, Xianyue seemed to think that he was not unlucky enough, and reminded everyone: "The result of the gambling game has come out. Those who just lost to me, don't forget the monthly salary for half a year."
Qin Tian was filled with hatred, but he could only pretend to be respectful on the surface.
He just pretended to be a good boy in front of Xianyue, and then he secretly condensed a trace of spiritual power and threw it at Xie Liuyin in the projection.
So Xie Liuyin, who should have been immersed in enlightenment and continued to climb up, suddenly stumbled and fell heavily on the stone steps as if he was tripped by something.
If it weren't for the fact that the Qi she just drew into her body helped her recover most of her strength, Xie Liuyin would have been quick enough to grab the stone steps. The fall would have been enough to make her roll down the long steps.
This thrilling scene made Xie Liuyin break out in a cold sweat, and she could no longer find the mysterious feeling she had when she suddenly realized something.
She pursed her lips. Although she felt a little regretful, she didn't feel sad.
She has gained a lot on the long steps today. You know, in her previous life, Xie Liuyin took three days to complete the process of drawing qi into the body.
She slowly stood up and moved her arms and legs to make sure that none of her limbs were injured, then continued to climb the long steps.
However, Xie Liuyin could not figure out why his chance had ended. Xianyue in the main hall narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly and glanced at Qin Tian lightly.
Although there was still a smile on his face, that smile did not reach his eyes.
Qin Tian had no idea that Xianyue was targeting him, and he still regretted not being able to get Xie Liuyin to fall to the bottom of the long steps.
It would be great if this little girl could roll down all the way down the 1,900 steps, Qin Tian thought silently in his heart.
But the more he didn't want to see Xie Liuyin steal the show, the more stone steps the girl in the projection climbed.
By the end of the climb, she had used up all her strength and could only crawl on the long steps, moving forward bit by bit with difficulty.
Even though his legs and hands were bruised and bleeding, and he looked in a miserable state, Xie Liuyin had no intention of stopping.
Seeing this, the elders no longer looked down on this little girl. Even though the elders other than Qin Tian had lost half a year's salary because of Xie Liuyin, they couldn't help but sigh:
"If this child can grow up successfully, his future achievements will not be inferior to Chao Yun!"
Hearing this comment, Ye Chaoyun's fingertips moved slightly. His cold eyes fell on Xie Liuyin's eyes that were full of burning vitality, but suddenly he felt a burning pain.
Ye Chaoyun frowned. For some reason, he suddenly felt dislike for this child.
In the end, Xie Liuyin didn’t know how many steps she had climbed. She only felt her hands and legs were sore and painful, as if they were filled with lead.
Until Xie Liuyin could no longer move, she finally fainted from exhaustion on the long steps.
The moment the girl closed her eyes, the formation automatically teleported her out of the long stairs.
When Xie Liuyin's figure no longer appeared in the projection, excited cheers broke out in the hall again.
"Great! Six thousand steps, that's a full six thousand steps! The great elder who astonished the entire cultivation world and achieved the feat of a thousand years of ascension only climbed five thousand steps! This girl has a bright future!"
"Young Master is so lucky. He got such a good seedling for cultivation for free on his first try. It's really enviable."
Amidst the compliments, a few slightly harsh words also popped up: "Don't be too happy too soon. Xie Liuyin has just introduced the Qi into his body. We don't know what results he will achieve in the future. You know, there are many fallen geniuses in the world of cultivation."
These words were like pouring a bucket of cold water into a boiling hot pot, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately changed.
Facing everyone's strange looks, Qin Tian still said stubbornly: "What's wrong? I didn't say anything wrong."
"Whether I can teach a talented apprentice is my business. Junior Brother Qin is more lenient in this matter." Xianyue spoke slowly in the unspeakable silence.
