Before Qi Yu could answer, Yun Gui said knowingly, "You've already reached the Golden Core stage. That's good. Your Chaos Spiritual Root really didn't disappoint."
He casually handed a letter to Qi Yu.
Qi Yu scratched her head. Seeing that Yun Gui didn't ask, she didn't explain what was wrong with her face either, and opened the letter.
...It was an invitation to the sect competition sent by the Yunyang Sect.
This competition is mainly attended by Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stage disciples from various sects.
The Qi Refining stage is too weak; it's not worth watching.
The Nascent Soul stage is extremely rare in the cultivation world; in the Flying Star Sect, it's enough to qualify someone as an elder, so naturally, they cannot be allowed to participate.
As the organizer, Yunyang Sect has offered generous rewards, including the Undying Wood, a rare treasure.
Qi Yu flipped through the letter, which still smelled faintly of ink, and asked, "Master, do you think this Undying Wood is for their sect leader's personal disciples?"
Otherwise, if we just give this thing away, would they be willing to accept it?
“They dare to bring out something so rare, they must be absolutely certain that their own disciple will win the crown, but…” Yun Gui looked at her with some surprise, “You know the personal disciple of the Yunyang Sect Master?”
Qi Yu pursed her lips. "Is this something I can say? I have a grudge against him. He wants me dead."
"Who dares to take Xiaoyu's life?" a voice came from the doorway. "I'll go and kill him."
Feng Xiao, dressed in a red robe embroidered with gold phoenix patterns, walked in carrying a food box. His face was cold, as if he could tear his enemy to pieces at Qi Yu's command.
Qi Yu looked at his wedding attire and her lips twitched. "Did you buy this yourself?"
Feng Xiao put the food box aside, leaned closer to Qi Yu, and said, "How is it, Xiao Yu? Does it look good?"
"Um, it's pretty good... but..."
Yun Gui, standing to the side, bluntly pointed out, "It just looks too flashy."
Feng Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he stayed close to Qi Yu, "Little Yu, don't you like it? The owner of the clothing store said that girls all like this kind..."
He lowered his eyes, looking somewhat aggrieved.
Qi Yu couldn't help but touch his smooth face. "You look good, you look good, okay? You look good in anything, but you're dressed like you're getting married. It's a bit too formal."
“Because I’m going to see Xiaoyu, every day is a big celebration.” Feng Xiao held her hand, his dark eyes lowered, looking at her intently, and affectionately rubbed his warm palm against hers.
Qi Yu: "..."
I'm getting goosebumps.
Yun Gui buried her face in the blanket, unable to bear the sight, trying to avoid seeing it.
He said in a muffled voice, "The disciples sent by Yunyang Sect this time are all extremely strong, so you don't need to be too nervous. It's okay if we can't get the Undying Wood."
Qi Yuqi said, "Senior Xiuzhu is still waiting for this immortal wood to be used as a body, Master, why are you so indifferent?"
Logically speaking, Yun Gui should feel guilty about accidentally killing Zhu Xiuzi and should be very concerned about helping Zhu Xiuzi rebuild his body. Why is he so indifferent this time?
Is the Yunyang Sect really so strong that there is absolutely no hope of winning?
Yun Gui, who was lying down, chuckled and said, "If you really can't get it, I'll find someone to snatch it from you."
Qi Yu: "..."
Qi Yu was speechless and choked with emotion.
"I'll still try my best to prevent you from being branded as a bandit, Master."
"You do seem to care about your teacher." Yun Gui chuckled quietly and said, "Then do your best. This time, all the sects have sent their elite disciples to the competition. It wouldn't be bad for you to go and see for yourself."
"By the way, Po Yue came back a while ago and said he needs to talk to you. He told you to go see him if you have time."
Qi Yu blinked in surprise and said, "Okay."
As she spoke, she bought a Disguise Pill from the system shop, sculpted her face again, and turned to leave.
Venerable Poyue has actually returned. I wonder if he has managed to bring back Master Hua.
Qi Yu slowly walked down the mountain, pondering the sect competition and the matter of the Undying Tree.
Yun Gui had just said he was going to steal the Undying Wood, but she didn't really believe he would do it.
Although she didn't know his strength, she always felt that Yun Gui was currently weak.
Moreover, as a major sect of sword cultivators, Yunyang Sect is, in some ways, more renowned than Feixing Sect.
Such a major sect would naturally not let anyone easily steal its things.
not to mention……
For some reason, she always felt that this immortal wood was probably prepared for Chu Mo.
It's a pity she didn't finish reading the original work, otherwise she would have known the outcome of the competition.
Reaching the foot of the mountain, she stopped and turned to look at Fengxiao, who was dressed in flamboyant clothes…
"..."
Feng Xiao readily transformed into a white bird and flew to her shoulder.
Qi Yu patted the bird's head with satisfaction and walked out.
This sect competition adopts a points system.
The competition is divided into one-on-one matches and team competitions.
This one-on-one competition is not all about cultivators fighting with weapons. Depending on the cultivation methods of the cultivators from various sects, there are also special competitions such as alchemy competitions and weapon crafting competitions.
For each victory in a one-on-one match, the sect of the winner receives one point.
The winning team in the team competition will receive ten points.
In martial arts competitions, Foundation Establishment stage disciples and Golden Core stage disciples compete separately, while other alchemy and weapon crafting competitions that do not require high cultivation levels are not separated, and even Qi Refining stage disciples can participate.
Several types of competitions have prepared extremely generous rewards for the first place winners.
After all the matches are over, the scores are tallied, and the sect with the highest score will receive the most precious Undying Wood.
Although the Flying Star Sect and the Cloud Sun Sect are known as the two major sects in the cultivation world, the Flying Star Sect is mainly famous for alchemy and weapon crafting. Most of the sect members are alchemy and weapon crafting cultivators, and their combat skills are only average. They can only participate in alchemy and weapon crafting competitions.
But it's easy to imagine that the sect competition is mostly a martial arts contest.
The number of participants selected by each sect is fixed. If too many alchemists and weapon crafters come from the Flying Star Sect, it will definitely lower the sect's score.
Yunyang Sect, on the other hand, is a major sect of sword cultivators. Almost everyone in the sect practices swordsmanship and has a high level of combat skill, giving it a much greater advantage than Feixing Sect.
Therefore, the Yunyang Sect's use of the Immortal Wood this time is mostly just for show; in the end, the ones who will most likely get the Immortal Wood are members of the Yunyang Sect.
Qi Yu sighed with melancholy as she walked.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like we can win.
If she were to fight alone, she might be able to achieve a surprising victory, but she wasn't really confident about something that required the entire sect's effort.
Or maybe I should just let myself off the hook, do more system tasks, and buy that "Double-Petaled Green Lotus".
An item that can sell for such a high price in the system shop must be no worse than the Undying Wood.
Qi Yu pondered for a moment and then opened the system panel.
