After completely refining the essence of ten thousand years of ice, Qiu Changtian felt refreshed.

The Purple Mansion Secret Medicine has accumulated 550 years of cultivation! The 800-year threshold to the first-grade golden elixir is still short... ahem!

Xu Yinglian was still by his side, concentrating on refining the Yangxia Zhuming Pill. After all, that thing was rather troublesome and could not be completed in a day.

Qiu Changtian also worked on multiple timelines in parallel before, and it took him a lot of effort to complete the refining.

So he left the cave and activated the restriction to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing his junior sister.

After arriving at Yuxu Palace on his sword, Qiu Changtian went to the lecture room of Master Ziwei, ready to listen to his master's lecture.

Sect Leader Ziwei sat upright on a nine-colored lotus platform, with a seven-treasure whisk draped around his waist, his eyes closed and silent.

Seeing Qiu Changtian walk into the lecture room, he opened one eye and said slowly:

"The defeat at the Longshan Ruins was not your fault. You don't need to worry too much."

Qiu Changtian was greatly surprised. This master could actually comfort people?

"How is Junior Sister Jian?" he asked seriously.

"Nothing." Master Ziwei said calmly, "As for the people from the Demon Sect who are chasing you..."

At this point, his voice paused for a moment:

"That man is not someone you can deal with right now. The senior elders in the faction will take action against him. You don't have to worry about him in the future."

Qiu Changtian: ...

No, Master! You see, I'm not injured either. Can you please give me some face and stop chasing the other side with such fanfare?

Of course, he couldn't really say this out loud, so he could only nod silently, thinking that Wei Dongliu also had to stay out of the spotlight.

It's ridiculous to say that Qiu Changtian is being targeted by the Demon Cult, and Wei Dongliu is now being targeted by the Orthodox Cult. What should be done with these two characters in the future?

We have to think of a way!

While he was secretly thinking and calculating, he was listening to the lecture of Master Ziwei. After listening, he asked many questions (this is the privilege of the chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm), and Master Ziwei answered them one by one.

I have to say, it is great to have a master to guide me.

Just the treatment of "whatever you ask, you get the answer", isn't it better than anything else?

After the lecture, Master Ziwei suddenly said:

"Some time ago, several disciples of Shushan discovered the ancient ruins of Baiyujing in Tianmu Mountain. Do you know about this?"

Qiu Changtian was slightly startled, and countless thoughts quickly ran through his mind.

First, did he know? Of course he did.

The ruins of Baiyujing in Tianmu Mountain were discovered by Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu themselves. How could they not know about it?

Second, should Qiu Changtian know?

Although Qiu Changtian is not Ling Yunpo, the old Taoist priest Zhang Zhengfa, whom Ling Yunpo rescued on Tianmu Mountain that day, is the successor to the Taoist tradition left behind by Kunlun Chonghe Zhenren, and has now returned to the Kunlun sect.

Qiu Changtian also learned the Divine Thunder from him!

If only Ling Yunpo knew about it at this time, and Qiu Changtian had no channel to find out, then as long as he nodded, Master Ziwei would immediately realize that something was wrong.

But since Qiu Changtian learned about Bai Yujing's existence from Zhang Zhengfa, there was no problem for him to nod and acknowledge it.

He thought through the above thoughts thoroughly in a flash.

So Qiu Changtian nodded and said:

"I've heard Senior Brother Zhang say this before."

"Very good." Master Ziwei said calmly, "Twelve towers and five cities, the White Jade Capital in the sky. The secret realm of the White Jade Capital is the trial site for the ancient human swordsmen. It is now jointly managed by the three sects of Shushan, Penglai and Kunlun."

"A few days ago, our Three Pure Ones joined forces to defeat the Demon Sect, forcing them to retreat again and go into seclusion. Recently, they have not dared to show up."

"So there is also a proposal from Shushan to hold a righteous competition in the Baiyujing secret realm. This is to allow the young talents of the three sects to bond with each other and to deter the remaining evil villains."

Qiu Changtian almost burst out laughing when he heard this: What, Shushan is going to hold another competition?

And this time the three factions are working together?

Although the excuse was "We can't find more evil cult villains, so we have to hold a military exercise to deter them", Qiu Changtian could guess that it was probably just the Shushan barbarians who were itching to find some people to chop them down!

I, Ling Yunpo, have been in Shushan for so many years, how could I not know what these Zhan Kuangs are thinking? How ridiculous!

Seeing Qiu Changtian remained silent, Master Ziwei said leisurely:

"Although this righteous united competition is held in the Baiyujing secret realm, it is not limited to swordplay."

"Shushan has made some adjustments to the secret realm, so that magic weapons, Taoist magic, talismans, etc. can be used freely in the duel."

"The rules of the competition are that two people draw lots, and the winners advance. In the end, the top twelve will be selected, and the rankings will be determined through a round-robin elimination process."

Having said this, Master Ziwei suddenly closed his eyes and remained silent.

Qiu Changtian was quick-witted and knew that his master was testing him, so he smiled and said:

"Since twelve people have to be specially selected, I guess these twelve people will be needed to do something after the competition is over, right?"

"That's right." Master Ziwei nodded and said, "You should know that according to the Taoist order of ascending to immortality, it is Baiyujing, Huangjinque, Qibaoxuanyuan, and finally Daguangming Palace."

"The secret realm of Baiyujing should contain clues to the secret realm of Huangjinque. To get the clues, we need to win the recognition of the twelve cities of Baiyujing."

“Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Immortal… Baiyujing is the lowest level of the four secret realms, and corresponds to the Foundation Building Realm. Therefore, only the most outstanding cultivators in the Foundation Building Realm can be recognized by the twelve cities of Baiyujing.”

"Changtian, this is your blessing, and also your opportunity."

Qiu Changtian silently chewed over his master's words and had to admit that it was true.

Although Sect Leader Ziwei values ​​himself the most because of his clear mind of Taoism, he has had countless chief disciples throughout the generations, and there are countless mid-level and high-level cultivators who are stronger than himself.

If such a good thing really happens, how can I go against everyone's opinion and give it to myself?

The most crucial thing here is that after investigation and research by the three orthodox sects, they found that the Baiyujing secret realm contains clues to the Golden Palace secret realm, and only the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can follow these clues.

Just this one rule "only for the Foundation Establishment Stage" eliminated most of Qiu Changtian's competitors.

As for the Foundation Establishment Stage...among my peers in Kunlun, who can compare to me, Qiu Changtian?

That’s why Master said, “This is my blessing, and also my opportunity”!

"Got it?" Seeing Qiu Changtian's sudden realization, Master Ziwei said slowly, "After you go back, take care of your junior sister."

"In this competition, try to get her a place in the top twelve."

"Okay, Master." Qiu Changtian said immediately, "I will definitely take good care of my junior sister."

Master Ziwei hummed and closed his eyes to rest.

"What about me, Master?" Qiu Changtian asked tentatively.

"You?" Master Ziwei closed his eyes and said indifferently, "Besides first place, what other ranking do you want to get?"
