"In fact, you can learn fewer magical skills to ensure that you have a high enough level of proficiency in the spells you have already learned. When you need to cast them, you can do so with ease. In particular, you should avoid the embarrassing situation of spells failing."
Dong Zhongyuan pointed at one of the little girls with his fan and said, "Especially you, Jiang Qin. You always want to learn new spells, but you haven't fully mastered the previous ones..."
"Brother!" The little girl he pointed at said helplessly, "I'm Jiang Ran!"
"I'm talking about you, Jiang Ran..." Dong Zhongyuan was not embarrassed at all, pointing at Jiang Ran and continued,
"I've already told you that the path for Transfiguration is to go through the Taiyin Lung Meridian, make the Orchid Seal, and exit from Chitan, Lieque, and Shaoshang. Why do you always exit from Tianquan and Zhongchong?"
"Aren't I practicing the Taiyin Lung Meridian?" Jiang Ran asked in confusion, pinching his fingers together.
Dong Zhongyuan tapped her forehead with his fan and shook his head, "Not at all, you make mistakes every time!"
Just then…
"Senior Brother Dong!" A girl called him from the side.
Dong Zhongyuan looked over and his eyes lit up. It was a cute girl holding a sword, and a white tiger was following her. The white tiger was a male, so he ignored it.
He recognized the girl and quickly responded, "Junior Sister Li!"
"Brother, do you recognize me?" Li Shiyin frowned. She didn't remember any intersection between her and this senior brother Dong Zhongyuan.
Which beautiful girl inside the door... no, which beautiful female doesn't he recognize?
Dong Zhongyuan smiled gently and said, "I have heard of Junior Sister Li's reputation as a genius."
I didn’t expect that I would have such a reputation!
Li Shiyin was delighted and raised her eyebrows, questioning Dong Zhongyuan: "Since you know my name, why is my name not on the list of Daojianmen's top ten geniuses?"
"The top ten geniuses?" Dong Zhongyuan smiled a little strangely when he heard this. Li Shiyin actually came for this matter.
"Junior Sister Li's talent and cultivation are both excellent, and everyone knows it. However, I am a little strict in ranking the top ten geniuses..." He smiled.
"Although you are not one of the top ten geniuses, you are one of the top five beauties! Beauty is a resource that surpasses everything else."
Li Shiyin was very smart and would not be confused by Dong Zhongyuan's perfunctory words. She skipped over what Dong Zhongyuan said and only asked, "You said your ranking is strict, so tell me, how strict is it?
"Why is there no one from our Danfeng... Do you look down on us Danfeng?!"
"Roar..." Zhuifeng was beside Li Shiyin and roared at Dong Zhongyuan to increase Li Shiyin's momentum.
"Danfeng?" Dong Zhongyuan looked at Zhuifeng, the young Xuanming Spirit Tiger. He still smiled and said to Li Shiyin, "This ranking does not mean that every peak has a quota, but it is based on the entire Daojian Sect."
“How is that arranged?”
"First, it depends on talent, second, it depends on cultivation, and third, it depends on strength." Dong Zhongyuan gave the selection criteria.
"So, what is the talent, cultivation, and strength of the person ranked tenth?" Li Shiyin asked. She thought, Huang Feiyu is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and ranked fifth, so the person ranked tenth is likely not even a Golden Core...
Dong Zhongyuan was always very patient with beautiful women. He answered carefully, "The tenth one is Qi Feng's junior brother, Song Ze. He has a wonderful Yuan spirit body and a top-grade spiritual root. The wonderful Yuan spirit body can enhance all spells. He is also in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and his spirit and soul are just beginning to manifest. His combat power is very terrifying."
Li Shiyin didn't hear clearly what the word "miao" or "spiritual body" was, but she heard the words "superior spiritual root" and "mid-stage Jindan"... Oh my god, this tenth one is also in the mid-stage Jindan? Her heart was pounding.
Wait, Huang Feiyu is ranked fifth. We are both in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Is Huang Feiyu that powerful?
Hmm... After hearing that the tenth person was also in the middle stage of Jindan, Li Shiyin began to back out. If this tenth person was in the early stage of Jindan, she would have wanted to give it a try. But she didn't expect...
"It's actually very simple to grab a ranking..." Dong Zhongyuan saw Li Shiyin's retreating expression and smiled a little wickedly, deliberately saying, "Whatever ranking you want, challenge the disciple of that ranking. If he accepts the challenge, you can fight him head-on on the Dao Discussion Platform. As long as you win, you can take his place."
"Oh..." Li Shiyin nodded and wanted to run away, "Is that so!"
Dong Zhongyuan asked, "Junior Sister Li, don't you want to try to challenge him? Even if it's Junior Brother Song."
"No...no..." Li Shiyin was about to refuse, but suddenly saw the mischievous smile on Dong Zhongyuan's face.
Hey! Wait, what do you mean? Are you mocking this Sword Immortal?
Li Shiyin's expression suddenly straightened up. She remembered that she came here to seek revenge because there were no geniuses in Danfeng. Now that she has found the real culprit, is she going to give up just because her opponent is much stronger than her?
To be ridiculed?!
No! The glory of Danfeng should be defended by her, Li Shiyin! ! Isn't it just the middle stage of Jindan? Kill him! Isn't it just some kind of spirit? With one sword, his spirit is useless.
"I do want to challenge you..." she said to Dong Zhongyuan, "but not now."
Li Shiyin is not a fool. She would not think that the early stage of foundation building can beat the middle stage of golden elixir. At least...
It also requires the middle stage of foundation building!
"Oh?" Dong Zhongyuan was shocked. This junior sister in the foundation-building stage really wanted to challenge the genius in the golden elixir stage? Seeing that Li Shiyin was not joking, he hurriedly asked, "When was that?"
Li Shiyin calculated a little in her mind and replied: "Give me a month, and I will challenge Song Ze in a month!"
"One month later?" Dong Zhongyuan looked at Li Shiyin carefully, thinking, "One of the five most beautiful women challenges one of the ten most talented people. The weak versus the strong, the beauty versus the genius. All the elements are complete. This topic is going to explode!"
He was a little excited and said, "Okay, Junior Sister, go ahead and prepare. I'll take care of the small matter of inviting Song Ze."
"Hey! Are you serious?" Zhuifeng blinked his big eyes and asked Li Shiyin quietly.
"I am the direct disciple of the head of Danfeng, and I must protect the glory of Danfeng!" Li Shiyin said, "Of course it is true."
"Middle stage of Golden Core..." Zhuifeng reminded.
Li Shiyin grabbed Zhuifeng's ear and dragged him towards Danfeng: "Then accompany me back to practice now!"
Dong Zhongyuan looked at Li Shiyin's departing back and exclaimed: "Incredible, incredible!"
"What is her level of cultivation?" Jiang Qin asked, "She is so arrogant."
"The early stage of foundation building." Dong Zhongyuan said with a smile.
"What?!" Jiang Ran was shocked, "She doesn't want to live anymore?"
“No…” Dong Zhongyuan shook his head, “I saw a lot of confidence in her eyes!”
"I'm afraid she is a fool..." Jiang Qin said.
The conversation between Li Shiyin and Dong Zhongyuan took place at noon, but the sun had not yet set. The entire Daojian Sect...except Danfeng, knew about it:
Li Shiyin, a disciple directly taught by Danfeng, will challenge Song Ze, a disciple directly taught by Qifeng, on the full moon night one month later.
Li Shiyin is one of the five most beautiful women, and Song Ze is one of the ten most talented people.
In order to maintain suspense, Dong Zhongyuan deliberately did not reveal Li Shiyin's cultivation level.
Daojianmen spent this night!
