After hearing what he said, Ye Qiu finally felt relieved.

In fact, he had guessed Xiao Zhan's intention from the beginning. He just wanted to use his deterrent power to make Xiao Yi correct his previous dandy behavior.

By the way, this kind of pressure also prompted him to practice hard.

Of course, this is just one point, there is a deeper meaning.

Maybe he wanted Ye Qiu to accept him as his disciple and let him join Zixia Peak.

Things like this happen all over the seven clans. In large secular families, many descendants take the head of each clan as their teacher in order to establish good relationships.

Ye Qiu also had this idea, but he felt that the time was not right yet, so he didn't do it.

When is the right time to accept a disciple?

Ye Qiu couldn't explain it either. It might be a knot in his heart. When he didn't have a disciple before, he didn't consider many aspects enough.

Now that I have an apprentice, I will definitely be stricter with future apprentices.

The most important thing is to examine the apprentice's character and whether he is worthy of his teaching.

Ye Qiu is good at winning people's hearts with kindness, and it would be best if he could make them completely loyal in one go.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Ye Qiu replied calmly, left the training ground first and returned to Zixia Peak.

The Seven Clans Martial Competition has come to an end, and next... there are still many things waiting for Ye Qiu.

For example, the strange crack deep in the no-man’s land, or the ancient emperor’s tomb hidden deep in the no-man’s land.

As well as the old turtle carrying the coffin that Xiao Yi mentioned earlier.

"Well, never mind. Let's just wait and see."

After thinking it over carefully, Ye Qiu decided to let it go for now.

The group returned to Zixia Peak and the bustle returned to peace.

On the North Mountain, the renovation of the temple is almost completed.

As soon as he returned to Zixia Peak, Xiao Yi went to Beishan alone to continue supervising the work.

As for Zhao Wan'er, as soon as she returned to Zixia Peak, she said she was exhausted and made up an excuse to go back and rest.

Maybe she also felt the gap between herself and Lin Qingzhu, and wanted to absorb the precious bone as soon as possible and catch up with Lin Qingzhu.

Inside the dojo, Ye Qiu sorted out the rewards he had received from this martial arts competition.

Take out the enlightenment fruit from the storage jade.

He smiled slightly, looked at Lin Qingzhu below, and said: "Disciple, your cultivation has now reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Appearance, just right... this enlightenment fruit can help you comprehend the laws and break through the gap."

After weighing it for a few times, Ye Qiu threw it to Lin Qingzhu and continued, "You have made great contributions to Zixia Peak in this martial arts competition. This thing should belong to you."

Lin Qingzhu had a stunned expression, looking at the Enlightenment Fruit in his hand, at a loss as to what to do.

Ye Qiu, actually gave her the Enlightenment Fruit?

She was speechless for a moment. The reason why she was working so hard was because she saw that Ye Qiu was interested in the Enlightenment Fruit, so she tried her best to help Ye Qiu get it back?

Now, why did Master not want it but give it to her?

She was indeed stuck at the ninth level of Tianxiang and unable to break through, but she firmly believed that if she was given a little more time, she would definitely be able to break through.

But now, in order to allow her to quickly improve her Wu Ju, the master actually resisted the temptation of the Enlightenment Fruit and gave it to her.

Lin Qingzhu was moved and struggled for a long time before finally making the first decision to go against his teacher's wishes.

"Master, Qingzhu must not take this fruit of enlightenment."

"Master has been very good to Qingzhu. Qingzhu is grateful. Winning the championship in this martial arts competition is the only way Qingzhu can repay Master."

"Now, the Enlightenment Fruit is also of great help to Master's cultivation. How can Qingzhu let Master bear the pain and give it up again?"

Lin Qingzhu shook her head, looking panicked. She would not want this fruit of enlightenment.

Although it was of great help to her, it allowed her to break through the distance in the fastest time.

She couldn't take it either, because this thing was obviously more beneficial to the master.

Ye Qiu looked at her quietly, feeling relieved.

Alas... my teaching to this disciple was not in vain, as he now feels sorry for his teacher.

What a sweet little cotton-padded jacket.

But, if you don’t want it, why would I still take advantage of you?

That won't work.

Ye Qiu's face was stern, and he pretended to be serious and said, "I told you to accept it, so you accept it. Don't you listen to your master?"

Lin Qingzhu looked stunned. It was the first time she saw Ye Qiu so stern.

Ye Qiu's expression changed again, and he said gently: "Although this Enlightenment Fruit is a top-grade spiritual medicine, it is of little use to me."

"My disciple, your master has always been very confident in you. I look forward to your making our Zixia Peak famous and renowned throughout the wilderness in the future."

"You can't let your master down."

These touching words made Lin Qingzhu's eyes brimming with tears.

Master is still the same master, who treats me like his own son and loves me dearly.

However, she really didn't want her master to waste any more treasures on her.

From the time she entered the sect until today, the favors she had received were enough, enough to make everyone shed tears of envy.

She is already very satisfied.

However, looking at Ye Qiu's determined eyes, she knew... if she didn't accept the Enlightenment Fruit today, her master would definitely be very sad.

That kind of sadness and discomfort comes from one's own ruthless rejection.

He deeply doubted his own abilities and felt... guilty that he could no longer bring anything to his apprentice.

That look completely caught her eye, and Lin Qingzhu trembled.

She bit her lower lip, eyes full of affection, and said, "Okay, Master, Qingzhu will accept it."

Seeing that she was finally willing to accept the Fruit of Enlightenment, Ye Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alas... it's getting harder and harder to get the wool these days."

"It still needs to test my acting skills."

"Luckily, I played supporting roles for a few years and studied acting for a few years."

Ye Qiu felt ashamed inside, but the ending was still perfect.

After a pause, Ye Qiu continued, "Well... you should go back and rest first. It's a good opportunity for you to take advantage of this time to practice in seclusion and strive to break through the Wuju as soon as possible."

Lin Qingzhu nodded, walked out of the dojo reluctantly, and returned to his room.

After she left, an evil smile gradually appeared on Ye Qiu's expressionless face.

"system……"

[Ding, you gifted your apprentice a top-grade treasure, the Flying Flower Needle, triggering a critical hit return.]

[Ding, you gifted your disciple a top-grade spiritual fruit, triggering a critical hit return.]

[Do you want to enable it? ]

Is it finally here?

This was the moment Ye Qiu had been waiting for since the first day of the martial arts competition.

"Open it."

[Congratulations, you have triggered a 10,000-fold critical strike and obtained the innate spiritual treasure, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles.]

[Congratulations, you have triggered a 10,000-fold critical strike and obtained an Innate Extreme Fruit. ]

"Fuck..."

"Sure, sure. This wave of wool is worth it."

Upon hearing about the reward, Ye Qiu was immediately delighted, thinking that his touching performance just now was worth it.

[Innate spiritual treasures are born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They are magical treasures other than immortal items. In terms of power, they are not inferior to immortal items at all. ]

After reading the explanation of the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, Ye Qiu was excited.

After obtaining the Immortal Sword Yunxiao, he also obtained an innate spiritual treasure whose power was no less than that of the Immortal Sword.

Let’s take a look at the Xiantian Jidao Fruit, which is also nurtured by the innate qi and is not inferior to the immortal fruit at all.

The only drawback is that it does not possess the fairy aura like the fairy fruit.

But this innate energy is also very pure, which can help him break through the shackles and reach the legendary supreme state.
