Chapter 78: Do you want to take this job? It's a rare opportunity...
The stagnant atmosphere loosened a little after Nan Si Ning arrived with the eldest senior sister.
After greeting the eldest sister and the elders, Nan Si Ning followed quietly and obediently behind them. He could leave such dealings to the eldest sister.
"The discovery of the demon cultivator was made thanks to you, Cijian Peak, and your timely reporting. We will credit Cijian Peak with this achievement." The Great Elder, as the representative of the elders, spoke in a rare gentle tone.
Qin Sangyue agreed without a second thought, "Thank you for the compliment, Elder. This is my duty as a disciple of the Canglan Sect, and I at Cijian Peak will never forget it."
Several elders nodded with satisfaction.
They had been in a state of panic for several days, having seen too many bad people and bad things in the sect. Suddenly meeting such a sensible person was like a breath of fresh air.
The Fifth Elder waved his sleeves and said, "You have made contributions to Cijian Peak and deserve a reward. Please choose one of these treasures."
Qin Sangyue and Nan Si Ning looked at the five treasures at the same time. There was one each of martial arts techniques, spiritual plants, spiritual swords, elixirs, and formation plates. Even though Nan Si Ning was not very knowledgeable, he could tell that they were all good things.
This time the elders really spent a lot of money.
The most eye-catching one is the sword named Lingfeng Shutian Sword. It is said that a drop of blood of the ancient mythical beast Phoenix is refined in it. It is incredibly powerful and very spiritual. If it can be recognized by the spiritual sword, it can be used as the natal sword.
Qin Sangyue has been in the Jindan stage for some time, and it is time for her to consider her own natal sword.
With a compatible spiritual sword, a cultivator's combat power will not only be greatly improved, but his cultivation will also be faster.
Qin Sangyue with some difficulty moved her gaze away from the Lingfeng Shutian Sword and moved it to the vitality-replenishing pill next to it.
The effect of this pill is somewhat similar to that of the Longevity Pill, which can rejuvenate a person's new vitality. However, the strength of the Shengji Bujing Pill is much stronger, and it is easy for ordinary people to overdo it. At the very least, the tendons and veins will be destroyed, and at the worst, the body will explode and die.
This medicine is most suitable for people like Liang Xiao whose vitality is almost withered. It can prolong their lives for a long time.
Without much hesitation, Qin Sangyue said, "Thank you, Elder. We have chosen the Shengji Bujing Pills."
It’s not that Nan Sining can’t make this elixir, but it’s mainly because he doesn’t have some precious spiritual plants.
Nan Sining refined some pills with similar functions, but the effects were still not as good as this one.
Nan Si Ning had already guessed the senior sister's decision and did not say anything.
Several elders showed an expression of understanding, as if they had already guessed Qin Sangyue's choice.
After Qin Sangyue put away the pills, she waited for the elders to talk about business.
The Great Elder wasn't one to be evasive, and he quickly explained the situation: "The demonic cultivator incident has been confirmed to be true, so there's no need to elaborate. Right now, there's a dilemma. Yunxiao Peak has confirmed that Luo Qingyao will participate in the Secret Realm Competition, and the Sect Master refuses to back down on this matter."
This sentence contains a huge amount of information.
Although there is evidence that Luo Qingyao is a demon cultivator, Sect Leader Zhao Shiquan still protects her and stands on her side, treating her even better than his own daughter.
There may be some hidden secrets here that outsiders don't know.
Moreover, under such circumstances, the elders were unable to disqualify Luo Qingyao from participating in the competition. Several elders together were no match for the sect master alone. The reason behind this was even more intriguing.
It seems that the internal strife among the top leaders of Canglan Sect is quite intense. Zhao Shiquan is indeed a manipulator of power, and he has even controlled all the elders.
"Although the rules of this competition prohibit harming fellow disciples, how can the people of the Demonic Path take it seriously? Therefore, Luo Qingyao is a huge threat to the other disciples participating in the competition."
The disciples sent by each peak to participate in the competition must be extremely outstanding. Absorbing one of them would be more useful than absorbing several outer disciples. If other disciples met Liang Xiao's fate, it would be a loss for the sect and the responsibility of the elders.
Nan Si Ning silently pondered the words of the Great Elder, trying to figure out the hidden meaning behind them.
Although they did not understand the conflicts and relationships between the top leaders, they could see that the elders were now constrained and restricted, and were easily blamed, so they were also very troubled.
It's good to have a headache. The more headache it is, the more room there is to bid. The more headache it is, the more the elders want to kill Luo Qingyao, and the more help you will get.
The Great Elder looked at Qin Sangyue and Nan Si Ning, his eyes surprisingly earnest. "So, we hope that you, Cijian Peak, can focus on keeping a close eye on Luo Qingyao during this competition, so that she doesn't have the opportunity to attack your fellow disciples."
After listening to this, Nan Si Ning said nothing and just looked at Qin Sangyue.
After hearing this, Qin Sangyue frowned slightly and was also thinking about the pros and cons of it.
Nan Sining felt that whatever he could think of, the senior sister would definitely be able to think of as well.
However, judging by the elixir Qin Sangyue had just chosen, she was likely to make a more conservative decision. Compared to others, she was more concerned about ensuring the safety of her fellow apprentices.
"Great Elder, I have some doubts and would like to ask you for your answers."
The Great Elder nodded gently: "If you have any questions, just ask directly."
"Why did you choose our Cijian Peak? There are many powerful peaks in the sect..."
The Great Elder said bluntly, "Because they don't know Luo Qingyao is a demon cultivator, this matter cannot be revealed to them."
Those younger generations who have not yet grown up, although they have caught up in terms of cultivation, their character is far inferior. When they hear that there are demon cultivators, they become confused and cannot accomplish anything at all.
Ci Jianfeng's calmness and decisiveness are the reasons why the elders want to use them.
Qin Sangyue asked again, "If we agree to this, can the elders ensure our safety?"
The Great Elder's voice deepened a bit, "As the venue for the duel, the secret realm has already been restricted. Cultivators above the Golden Core stage are forbidden from intervening, or they will suffer a severe backlash."
Otherwise, they would not have thought of asking Ci Jianfeng to do this.
Nan Si Ning was speechless. Before, it was all for the sake of competing, but now it has become a way to block his own retreat.
In the final analysis, once you enter the secret realm, it is equivalent to entering an isolated arena, where everything depends on your own ability and luck.
This was the original intention of designing this competition, but it ended up becoming a constraint and an obstacle.
At this moment, Nan Si Ning wanted to sing: "I said fate~~"
Qin Sangyue was also weighing the pros and cons. Now that Cijian Peak's position as the top peak was secure, grades were not that important. However, she was worried about the safety of her fellow junior brothers and sisters, especially the impulsive Hua Shengqing and the unstable Cong Chen. When the two of them met Luo Qingyao, they would surely be like enemies meeting each other and would be extremely jealous of each other. It was hard to say what kind of trouble would arise then.
But if she allowed Luo Qingyao to harm her fellow disciples, her sense of justice and responsibility would prevent her from doing so.
The conflict between heaven and man is very difficult.
Nan Si Ning could see the eldest sister's dilemma, so she took the initiative to ask, "Elders, if Cijian Peak agrees to this, what kind of support will we get? If the result is not entirely satisfactory, is there a backup plan? Can Cijian Peak escape unscathed?"
To put it bluntly, you need to give us some good elixirs, magic tools, talismans, array plates and other equipment. And if someone dies in the process, does Cijian Peak need to take the blame?
Qin Sangyue looked at her junior sister in surprise, as if she didn't expect her to stand up at this time.
However, Nan Sining did ask some questions in her mind.
The elders didn't dare to be perfunctory when faced with a rising star like Nan Si Ning. They said, "We have all made preparations. And if you try your best but still can't prevent some tragedy during the competition, we won't blame you."
Nan Si Ning rolled his eyes and asked in detail about the type of equipment and whether he could choose it himself. He also asked how many deaths he could accept and how he would whitewash Cijian Peak in front of the entire sect.
The questions were so numerous, detailed and complex that the elders were almost confused.
After asking, Nan Si Ning smiled and said, "It's our responsibility as disciples to help the sect. However, this matter concerns the reputation and safety of the entire Cijian Peak. We can't just agree on behalf of our senior sisters and brothers. Could you please give us a little time to convince them?"
The elders were immediately filled with frustration. This little girl was so cunning! She asked so many questions, but still didn't give a single definite answer!
But what she said was reasonable and there was nothing I could say to her. I could only ask the two of them to go back quickly.
Nan Si Ning pulled Qin Sangyue away. Qin Sangyue said worriedly, "Xiao Jiu, do we really have to agree to this?"
Nan Si Ning sent her a message: "Why don't you accept it? This is a great thing!"
Qin Sangyue was full of questions. How could dealing with evil cultivators be a good thing?
Nan Si Ning chuckled, "This is a rare opportunity to make some money! Besides, think about it, when will we have such an opportunity, where we can ignore the friendship between fellow disciples and other people's opinions, stand on the moral high ground and judge Luo Qingyao and others? If we miss this opportunity, we will never get it again."
Qin Sangyue felt something was amiss. The elders wanted Cijian Peak to deal with Luo Qingyao, the demonic cultivator, but they didn't want Cijian Peak to cause trouble, right? What was going on with Junior Sister feeling like she was "doing something bad on orders"?
"Xiao Jiu, this is no small matter. Although the strength of our Cijian Peak has improved, the terrifying thing about demonic cultivators is that their demonic energy is extremely harassing to righteous cultivators. Once contaminated, it's like a maggot on the tarsal bone, difficult to shake off. You..."
Nan Si Ning smiled and didn't say much. She knew that seeing it with her own eyes was better than saying it.
When we returned to Cijian Peak, the senior sisters and brothers gathered around us and asked what was going on.
Qin Sangyue briefly explained the elders' opinions, and everyone indeed had differences of opinion.
With Hua Shengqing hating Luo Qingyao so much, she couldn't wait to take on this matter. Fighting or something like that wasn't important; she just wanted revenge.
With someone as cautious as Li Yunqi and someone as lazy as Wu Che, they just wanted to participate in the competition in peace and let Cijian Peak return to its glorious era as one of the top peaks.
While the senior sisters and brothers were arguing, Nan Sining simply took out a transparent bubble.
Inside this transparent bubble, there was a wisp of black mist that was constantly twisting and tumbling, desperately hitting and colliding with the seemingly fragile bubble, but all in vain.
"What...what is this?"
The senior sisters and brothers had no time to argue, their attention was attracted by the bubbles in Nan Sining's hand.
Yuan Qing'an had the best eyesight and reacted quickly: "Is it demonic energy?"
Everyone gasped in unison.
Zhou Lixing said anxiously, "Junior Sister, where did you get such a dangerous thing? Hurry and give it to Senior Sister and Second Brother!"
"Xiaojiu, be careful!"
"Oh, it looks so scary! Little Junior Sister, hurry up... hurry up and give it to us!"
The senior brothers and sisters who had just been arguing fiercely suddenly stood in agreement.
Nan Si Ning ignored them and said, "Watch carefully, I will only perform once!"
As he spoke, his mind moved, and the bubble burst. The wisp of evil energy immediately rushed out at a rapid speed, twisting and rolling as if looking for someone to parasitize.
Nan Si Ning was unequivocal. A cluster of flames rose from her fingertips, and with a "puff", in a moment, the cluster of evil energy was burned clean, without even a trace of smoke or dust.
The senior sisters and brothers who were just arguing in a mess were speechless in an instant.
Just...that's it?
Qin Sangyue blinked and looked at Yuan Qingan. Yuan Qingan also looked at her. The two saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
I almost forgot, Junior Sister’s strange fire is not Liulilitian Fire, but the real fire of the sun!
Like a cultivator who has returned to his true nature, the Sun's True Fire appears ordinary, but in reality it is the most extraordinary fire in the world. It can be extremely strong and fierce, burning everything, but it can also be extremely soft and cold, turning into a cold flame.
It can restrain the vast majority of dark, treacherous, vicious and unclean things in the world!
In front of the true fire of the sun, demonic energy is indeed nothing.
Before Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qing'an could react, Wu Che had already hugged Nan Si Ning's legs with a plop: "Junior sister, can you give me a spark of your strange fire?"
He suddenly felt that there were many things that could not be bought with spirit stones!
Nan Sining: ...
Hua Shengqing rarely refrained from mocking him, but instead fell into deep thought: Could his own Ziwei Heavenly Fire completely incinerate the demonic energy? It didn't seem likely...
Although Zhou Lixing, Li Yunqi and others did not react as strongly, they were all obviously relieved.
The junior sister is really amazing. She solved the evil spirit that even the cultivators in the world tried to avoid with just a small flame.
"How is it? Do you have confidence now?" Nan Sining asked.
What else can the senior sisters and brothers say? Of course, their confidence is greatly boosted.
With something that can restrain demonic energy, what is there to fear? We cultivators must forge ahead!
Seeing the faces of his senior sisters and brothers change, Nan Si Ning found it funny and happy at the same time. People from Cijian Peak have to be shameless like this so that they can let go of their moral burdens and enjoy a wicked life. No, it should be that their character is improved and their state of mind is more stable.
"By the way, Junior Sister, you haven't told me yet where that evil spirit came from!" Yuan Qing'an did not forget this important thing.
Seeing that he had failed to fool people, Nan Si Ning had to honestly say, "I took it from Fourth Senior Brother when I rescued him."
Without waiting for Yuan Qing'an to say anything, she immediately said, "I will never hide dangerous goods again. I will definitely report it to you, I will definitely report it!"
Zhou Lixing couldn't bear to see his junior sister being criticized, so he immediately spoke up for her, saying, "Junior sister, you're very well behaved. You'll definitely be obedient in the future. Junior sister, remember what you said today. Don't mess around in the future."
Yuan Qing'an and Qin Sangyue looked at her helplessly. Nan Si Ning chuckled, wanting to move on from this matter. She said quickly, "We're going to agree to this now, right? Then think about it quickly. If there's anything you want, we can go get it!"
