Chapter 75 Research Meeting 28 This guy surnamed Wang is deliberately making things difficult for him...
Perhaps to give the visiting Daoist friends the best experience, Master Guo made a small adjustment to the selection process of the Research Association.
For example, the highly anticipated groups of Xie Jiaoyue and Chu Xingjin were placed last to ensure that everyone who came to watch would have the patience to watch until the end and have the best experience, making the ticket price worthwhile.
After all, compared to Xie Jiaoyue's one-time investment, this is a long-term way to make money. If this path is successful, the clan school may be able to hold academic conferences every year, giving disciples more opportunities and space to learn.
Her little selfish wish, unintentionally, led everyone to stay until the very end and witness Xie Jiaoyue's perfect entrance.
Even the cultivators sitting in the Fulai Restaurant watched the entire process in stunned silence through a shimmering water curtain.
Good heavens! A young female cultivator who looks as beautiful as a celestial being has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining after only a short time of cultivation. Moreover, she successfully killed two magical beasts with the pills she and her friends refined, proving the excellent quality of her research group's work.
That's not all. This person actually achieved a breakthrough after killing two monsters that were above their level.
He even broke through four levels in a row, directly reaching the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage. With a little bit of luck, or if he gets a Foundation Establishment Pill, he might be able to establish his foundation at a young age!
How old is she? Not even seventeen yet, right? What kind of talent, luck, and hard work does she have to have to be at the top of the list?
Look at others and then think about yourself. Many people are already in their thirties when they finally reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and they are still complacent, thinking that they might have a chance to break through to the Golden Core stage before their lifespan runs out.
There are quite a few people who never reach the Foundation Establishment stage in their entire lives, and quite a few who only achieve it after they are over fifty.
What kind of people are few? Those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of twenty are the fewest.
The Xie family's main branch has always kept a low profile. Even though Xie Jiaoyue has recently caused several uproars, it has only been spread among a small group of people. Before witnessing it firsthand, those things are like the moon in the water or a flower in a mirror, invisible and intangible, leaving people without a sense of reality and unable to comprehend them.
And now, they are truly experiencing it.
Who was the last person from Jinling City to achieve Foundation Establishment before the age of twenty? It was so long ago that they couldn't remember. The only person they could recall who achieved Foundation Establishment at a young age was Xie Jiaoyue's biological father, but he also achieved Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty-one.
Xie Jiaoyue's talent is so great that she could probably hold her own not only in Jinling City, but also in the entire Southwest Region and even the Eastern Region.
At this moment, no one could take their eyes off Xie Jiaoyue; everyone wanted to take one more look at the rising star.
Unfortunately, they had important things to do and couldn't keep showing them new things.
As Xie Jiaoyue followed her teachers into the selection area for the academic research conference, the outside returned to calm, leaving only fellow Daoists and disciples of the clan school who had come to join in the fun.
People withdrew their envious gazes from Xie Jiaoyue, and then turned their envious gazes to Xie Jiaoyue's only close relative, her mother, Gong Shirao.
This person is so lucky. He has such an excellent Daoist partner and such an outstanding daughter. Although he is only a cultivation vessel and his talent is average, and his status in the Xie family is gradually declining, things will be different in the future. As long as Xie Jiaoyue reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, she will become an effective fighting force for the Xie family. With Xie Jiaoyue alone, the status of the main branch of the Xie family will be raised!
The second branch of the Xie family only has one Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the third branch only has two. Once the eldest branch has Xie Jiaoyue, not to mention that they will be completely on equal footing with them, there will be fewer doubts about Gong Shirao's position as acting clan leader, which she obtained by virtue of her status as a widow.
Jinling City is only a small city. The gossip of the three great families is not something that everyone knows, but it is not something that can be kept secret. Many people also know that Gong Shirao has actually been living a very hard life these years, struggling to support the family business left by her Daoist partner, preserving it for her daughter, and preventing it from being swallowed up by her own clan.
She was certainly lucky, but she earned her luck through her own hard work! If she had been even a little weaker, or less responsible, and had instead thought she could live a comfortable and carefree life by relying on her status as a furnace cauldron, how could she be where Xie Jiaoyue is today? How could she have waited for Xie Jiaoyue to repay her?
Someone muttered sourly, "Who knows if Xie Jiaoyue, with her abilities, would still care about the Xie family or Gongshi..."
The voice trailed off, but everyone around knew that the hidden name was Gong Shirao.
Yes, who is Gong Shi Rao? She is just a futureless furnace vessel abandoned by the Gong Shi family, a discarded daughter who has had almost no contact with the Gong Shi family for so many years.
The status of the Gongshi family is far beyond what a small Xie family can compare to. If Xie Jiaoyue had any sense, her best choice would be to use her talent to get close to the Gongshi family and use their resources to build a better future for herself.
However, back then, Gong Shi Rao almost broke with her family in order to marry into the Xie family. If Xie Jiao Yue wanted to reconcile with the Gong Shi family, she had to give up her mother.
And then there's Gongshi Moyu, who was also a pawn that Gongshi Shi didn't want at all.
Faced with such a huge benefit, what will Xie Jiaoyue choose?
At that moment, someone suddenly let out a sigh.
"The Shirao Cup, the Shirao Cup Research Conference, so that's what it means."
This sigh suddenly jolted everyone awake.
Yes, this year's academic conference has its own name: the "Shourao Cup." I hadn't thought much about the meaning of the name before; I only knew that Xie Jiaoyue had chosen it.
Now that I think about it carefully, the strange name "琞娆" is actually "日月玉娆", which uses characters from the names of three people: Gong Shi Mo Yu, Xie Jiao Yue, and Gong Shi Rao.
Xie Jiaoyue spent a lot of time coming up with the name so that it could include the names of all three family members.
Xie Jiaoyue was subtly telling everyone that the three members of the Xie family's eldest branch had a very good relationship and that outsiders didn't need to worry about them.
Gong Shirao listened to the whispers around her and proudly puffed out her chest.
Yes, her own talent is indeed average, and she hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, but so what? She has an outstanding daughter!
Gong Shirao didn't care at all about what others were saying about "who Xie Jiaoyue would choose between Gong Shirao and Gong Shishi." She only cared that her daughter deserved first place and that it shouldn't be affected by external factors.
If Xie Jiaoyue behaves like this, then that Teacher Wang will still be in a difficult position, and she will have no choice but to stand up for her daughter.
Gong Shirao raised her head, looking intently at the image transmitted from the jade disc, eagerly awaiting the moment when she would be announced as the winner.
inside the house.
The crowd, which had been in disarray due to the sudden situation, became orderly again under the guidance of Commander Guo, with everyone sitting in their proper places, except for Xie Jiaoyue.
Because Xie Jiaoyue was carrying two broken magical beasts, it wasn't appropriate for her to sit in the crowd, so she had to find a relatively open space to stand.
The enormous size of the two magical beasts in her hands highlighted Xie Jiaoyue's petite and charming appearance, making her seem somewhat weak and helpless.
If I hadn't just witnessed Xie Jiaoyue skillfully drawing her sword, I would have truly believed she was weak and helpless.
Xie Jiaoyue effortlessly shook the magical beast in her hand: "Instructors, shouldn't we announce the final rankings of the research conference next?"
There are only about ten groups of people, so there's no need to worry too much. The results have always been announced on the spot at previous academic conferences.
No one spoke, and the scene became somewhat awkward.
Wang Min was not sitting with Chu Xingjin at this moment. He was sitting alone near the teachers, looking at the two teachers from the Wang family who were in charge of the academic evaluation.
He was a direct descendant of the Wang family, the only grandson of the Wang family patriarch, and was exceptionally talented. The Wang family supported him with the full resources of the clan, and he enjoyed resources and treatment that other children his age could not enjoy from a young age.
He felt that this was how it should be, that he deserved the best of everything.
Therefore, when he discovered that the pills concocted by Xie Jiaoyue and her group of useless people might threaten him, he did not hesitate to take action.
He had the clan elders help him steal the pills from Xie Jiaoyue and the other two. He actually wanted to steal the one from the clan school as well, but Commander Guo's defenses were so tight that they couldn't find an opportunity.
Fortunately, Heaven helped him, and a burst of heavenly fire burned all the elixirs in the clan's academy.
He never expected that Xie Jiaoyue would also make a copy for Feng Qianqian and Gongshi Moyu.
Is this guy crazy? Would a normal person make six portions? And giving them to Gong Shi Moyu is one thing, but what's with giving them to Feng Qianqian? If he remembers correctly, Feng Qianqian and Xie Jiaoyue are competitors, both emotionally and in the academic society!
Feng Qianqian is crazy; she's actually willing to help her rival preserve something.
Wang Min glanced at Chu Xingjin discreetly. This man's luck was probably extraordinary, to the point that Wang Min also benefited from it. Heaven was on his side, and all those things were destroyed. He even heard that Gongshi Moyu was unable to deliver the pills to Xie Jiaoyue because he encountered a demonic beast.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jiaoyue still arrived with the items, and made such a big scene, killing two magical beasts by herself in front of everyone.
He was unwilling to accept it.
He's worked so hard for so long, is he really going to just miss out on first place in the research conference?
Wang Min stared intently at the Wang family's teachers, conveying a message through his eyes: "If we fail to let him win first place in the research competition, the patriarch will definitely hold them accountable once he returns to the Wang family!"
The two division commanders were so under their watchful eyes that they were sweating profusely.
Good heavens, even if it were the ancestors themselves, it would be very difficult for them to handle this situation.
The two men exchanged a glance, and one of them shook his head, giving up completely. He then slumped back, deciding to let the storm rage on, follow his conscience, and save face.
He was merely a guest of the Wang family, not actually surnamed Wang. At worst, he would be expelled by the Wang family and become a simple, independent cultivator.
Could the Wang family patriarch possibly kill him? The Director of the Heaven and Earth Department is still alive!
The other decided to give it a shot.
"How...how can you prove that you killed the demonic beast using pills refined by the three of you?"
Good question! It sounds like someone who can't find evidence against their opponent in court, and has to hire a lawyer with questionable evidence just to pay their fees, so they have to routinely question the validity of the evidence.
Xin Xiuying broke out in a cold sweat. Jiaoyue was in a critical situation at the time and used up all the pills at once. How could she prove it now?
This guy surnamed Wang is deliberately making things difficult for them!
