This woman usually behaves well, and seems so cold and out of touch with worldly affairs. Even if you say that she schemes against others like a jealous person, I guess 90% of people won't believe it.

Gu Qingling had taken action many times before, but most of the time it was her maids who did it, and it was very covert, and the follow-up was handled cleanly. Even if some people were hit, they didn't know who it was. Naturally, no one knew that the daughter of the leader of the Shenxue Sect was a double-faced and cruel person.

In the plot, Hao Xinqing also exposed Gu Qingling's methods, which completely destroyed her reputation, and then she lost her biggest backer. The former genius never got up again.

Although, reputation in the world of cultivation is not that important, as long as you can endure loneliness, don't appear in front of others, and practice on your own, then you really don't need to care.

Of course, it is also good to have the ability to completely disguise yourself so that you can hide well.

Because of this episode, Yang Lan'er and Qin Muyan didn't want to go back to the competition venue, and turned around to go to the courtyard of Kongchen Palace.

Three days passed quickly. Some people were so passionate that they watched the show until the very end. Their perseverance was extraordinary.

When the time came, Yang Lan'er took out her jade token, input her true energy, and then saw her number for the seventh round, twenty-five.

"I wonder how many people will enter the seventh round? I'm number twenty-five." Yang Lan'er asked speechlessly.

Sometimes, after a period of time, there will be a gathering of talented people. No wonder the onlookers are so enthusiastic, because they are witnessing the success of a group of geniuses.

However, not all of them are geniuses. After all, this competition has no age limit, but only limits the level of cultivation. Some people have been stuck in the Jindan stage with no chance of breaking through, so they can't be considered geniuses no matter how you look at it.

"I heard from Hongyi that there seem to be more than a hundred, which is not bad." Qin Muyan took over the conversation: "It seems that we have encountered a class of geniuses."

"Haha...it's okay!" Yang Lan'er felt particularly praised when she heard this.

With a curious look, Yang Lan'er looked at Qin Muyan: "Do you know what Gu Qingling gave to the alchemist?"

"Strange Fire!" How powerful was Qin Muyan's spiritual awareness after his reincarnation? Even if it was just a moment, he could "see" through it directly without letting anyone find out.

"Hmm? I remember that person originally had strange fire!" Yang Lan'er recalled what she saw and it was indeed true that he used strange fire.

"It's just a low-level strange fire. After fusion, it will definitely improve itself. If you are lucky, maybe new characteristics will appear." Qin Muyan explained.

"So, Gu Qingling is very generous. Many people would never have thought that she would just give it away?" Yang Lan'er was puzzled. Doesn't this revenge look very high? Just by failing once and affecting the target, you can get a strange fire that countless people dream of? You know, there are three chances in the competition, and failing once is no loss at all.

Moreover, intentional failure will not only not affect one's state of mind, but will also help one summarize experience. If Gu Qingling is not generous, what is he? "The major sects must have reserves of strange fire. Under certain conditions, strange fire can also produce a second strange fire of the same kind. As long as the environment is well shaped, it will naturally not be lacking over time." Qin Muyan said something that Yang Lan'er didn't know. Of course, she didn't know it now, as she hadn't recovered her memory.

"The reserve of strange fire is very beneficial to the development of the sect. Some geniuses have great achievements in a certain field, but their strength is not enough. If they want to find strange fire by themselves, it is no different from seeking death. So the sect uses strange fire to generalize, and it almost always works."

"That's true. Strange fire is not only useful for refining medicine and weapons, it is also useful for making formations and talismans, and for attacking. There are unexpected moves. Strange fire is very versatile." Yang Lan'er sighed. She was also able to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

“Perhaps, that alchemist is the talent that Shenxue Sect has recruited! Maybe it was Gu Qingling who recruited him…” Qin Muyan often did this kind of thing on Earth, and everyone benefited from it.

At the beginning, in order to sow discord among countries, he also bribed many local people. The price he offered was absolutely fair, just to bring forward the battle in the global dark world.

"Could it be that Gu Qingling still wants to be the next leader of the Shenxue Sect?" Why would she waste her time and money to bribe someone? And even use her own sex appeal directly? Yang Lan'er couldn't think of any other reason.

"It's possible." Qin Muyan sneered. This woman dared to think so. If I understood correctly, there had never been a female leader of the Shenxue Sect since its establishment. Where did Gu Qingling get the confidence to break the rules? "Because she is the only child of the leader?" Yang Lan'er also knew that the Shenxue Sect had never had a female leader, because it was mentioned in the novel that Hao Xinqing was the first one.

It should be said that out of the top ten super sects, nine have no such history, and the remaining one is a gang composed entirely of women.

As for small sects, they can naturally be ignored.

"No, didn't you say that the leader of the Shenxue Sect is not hereditary?" Yang Lan'er thought of this.

"But being the sect master's descendant is a great advantage, isn't it?" Qin Muyan had thought of this result when he formulated this rule. Naturally, there are also ways to restrict it. As the descendant of the sect master, in order to successfully become the next one, the fame and support required are much higher than those of others.

In the other three competitions, many people also entered the seventh round. It was indeed a session full of talented people, with outstanding people appearing in every event.

Are you kidding? Back then, there were many people at level eight and level seven in Hang Ziyan's family. Yang Lan'er was shocked for a long time. Did the Hang family buy them wholesale? However, it was obvious that the strength of those people was definitely not just Jindan.

And now, this group of people in the Jindan stage have actually begun to challenge the seventh level.

Even if it is just a lucky success, it cannot be ignored. Maybe the future is limitless.

Of course, one cannot necessarily break through from level seven to level eight simply by increasing one’s strength. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many such people in the entire world of cultivation.

Faced with these three items, Yang Lan'er also went to watch. As a "person" of Kongchen Palace, her position was fixed and her vision was excellent. It would be a waste not to watch, and she would not be affected by others.

Apart from the stuff about refining equipment, Yang Lan'er could only envy it from beginning to end. She watched the formations and talismans very carefully and really learned a lot.

The competition of talismans is naturally about drawing talismans, and the one with the higher level will win.

As for this formation, it is about setting up the formation, or solving the formation provided by the organizer. As long as you reach the required level, you will pass.
