Chapter 76 Master, can I ask for a gift?
"You don't have to be nervous."
Qing Li softened his voice and explained, "The Trial Secret Realm is a test specifically designed for newly initiated disciples. While there are many spiritual herbs and objects within, none are suitable for cultivators above the Golden Core stage. Most of the participating disciples are in the Qi Training and Foundation Establishment stages. In special cases, the highest-level cultivator is only in the Early Golden Core stage."
"And if we really confront someone, you don't need to be nervous either." Qi Rong stood to her left, extending his hand to smooth down her black hair. "With your current level of cultivation, no one below the Golden Core stage can defeat you. During your previous training in the mountains, the enemies you encountered were mostly at the Golden Core stage, so being unable to defeat them was normal. However, against those of your peers, your abilities are indeed outstanding."
"yes."
Hua Yanci didn't dare act too casually in front of Immortal Master Miaoqing, but her sitting posture wasn't exactly steady and serious either. She half-supported herself and sat cross-legged on the ground, one arm draped across her knee. She spoke lazily, "Junior Sister, you're the one who dared to challenge the Eternal Locking Evil Formation with me, so why are you afraid of those small fry?"
Kui Ming listened to Hua Yanci and Qi Rong's words, and thought of his junior sister and his extraordinary bravery when they beat the Thousand-Faced Ghost in Wu Town, and nodded in agreement.
Bai Xiaoxiao listened to their implicit encouragement, and the trembling in her heart dissipated, and she was moved and motivated to take risks.
[Yes, with Master and fellow practitioners here, I have nothing to fear!]
"Master, I'll go! Don't worry, I won't embarrass you or my brothers. I'm sure I'll win!"
The little girl's eyes were bright and pure like ice crystals. Her excited expression made her glow, like the sun on a warm spring day, bright and warm, but not scorching.
The four of them were stunned when they saw this, and then they smiled knowingly.
It is said that the brightest smile is contagious.
Now it seems that it is true.
"The Secret Trial Realm is not some kind of competition."
Qing Li continued to explain to her: "You only need to enter the secret realm and find the Mistbeard Fruit to replenish your insufficient spiritual essence, so as to break through the foundation and reach the golden elixir."
Bai Xiaoxiao asked, "What is the Mistbeard Fruit?"
Qing Li flicked his fingertips, and a faint blue light sank into her brow. An image of a white fruit emitting a faint spiritual aura suddenly appeared in Bai Xiaoxiao's mind. Not only did she instantly know what the mist-bearded fruit looked like, she also knew that it grew on trees and favored sunlight.
"And your third senior brother will also go with you to the secret trial realm."
Qing Li then added.
Bai Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. From her impression, Qi Rong's ability should be above the Golden Elixir level. Why did he still need a trial in the secret realm?
Qi Rong saw the little girl's confusion as soon as he looked up, and explained, "I'm not in good health. There are many warm-natured medicinal herbs in the secret realm that are suitable for me tonic. I go there every year when the secret realm opens."
Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly realized.
So it was settled.
Kui Ming, Hua Yanci and Qi Rong took their leave and went back.
Only Qingli and Bai Xiaoxiao were left in the Xianyun Liuli Octagonal Pavilion.
Qing Li closed his eyes and didn't say anything. Bai Xiaoxiao blinked twice, then stood up and walked to her master to refill her tea. The light green tea exuded a rich and elegant tea fragrance, with two or three tender leaf buds floating on it.
"Master, do you have any instructions?"
Otherwise why leave her alone?
"Trial Secret Realm, do you have any ideas?"
Qing Li did not answer, but asked in return.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't understand what her master meant. Was he trying to remind her to give her all, or was there some temporary task?
Qing Li didn't give her too much time to think: "You went down the mountain to train, and although you have experienced a lot, you have always been competing with non-immortal and non-human beings. However, those who come to the trial secret realm are all from the immortal sect. You..."
"I see."
Bai Xiaoxiao replied: "Friendship first, competition second."
"No."
Qing Li decisively rejected her suggestion: "If there is a fight for the treasure, you must not only strike, but also strike ruthlessly."
"They won't care about your so-called friendship. As long as you're strong enough, even if you accidentally kill someone, no one will blame you, even if they're from the same sect. So remember, as long as you can break through the foundation and condense the golden elixir, no matter what means you use, there's no need to delve into it."
Listening to Qingli's advice word by word, Bai Xiaoxiao's excited heart gradually calmed down. She had seen the cruelty of cultivation and understood what Qingli meant. She was grateful and did not like to hurt others, but if she really had to fight, she would never be indecisive.
A hint of determination flashed in Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes, "I understand, Master."
Seeing that Bai Xiaoxiao had listened to her, Qingli nodded, brushed off her sleeves, and stood up. Bai Xiaoxiao saw Qingli was about to leave, her mind spinning as if she remembered something, and she smiled softly, running to Qingli: "Master."
The voice is very sweet.
The expectant look on her face as she twisted her fingertips could not escape Qing Li's eyes. He immediately understood what the little girl wanted to do by stopping her, but he did not point it out directly. He only asked, "What's the matter?"
Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but still said, "If I successfully condense the golden elixir, will Master give me a reward?"
Qing Li smiled softly: "What do you want?"
Bai Xiaoxiao prepared herself mentally, but when she finally spoke, her voice was incredibly weak: "Can you... hold me for a minute?"
[Ah ...
As her heart became more and more entangled, Qing Li saw the little girl's head lower and lower, until her ears turned red, and she was almost buried in the ground like an ostrich.
Qingli smiled gently, said nothing and walked forward.
“Master!”
When Bai Xiaoxiao calls out, there should be a definite answer whether to respond or not, right?
"When your golden elixir returns, just come to me and ask for it."
Qingli's voice came slowly, as cold as usual, but Bai Xiaoxiao inexplicably heard a hint of helplessness yet compromise and indulgence in it.
Master agreed? Yes!
…
Entering the secret realm of trial is an opportunity for new disciples to transform.
Many disciples gained opportunities after entering the secret realm. Not only did their cultivation level improve, but some even jumped from the early stage of Qi Refining to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. They saved countless years of detours compared to others.
But such qualifications are also limited.
Each sect can have a maximum of twenty disciples participating in the secret realm.
As a result, disciples need to speak with their own strength.
Although Qing Li guaranteed that she would be the only one to qualify for the secret realm trial even if she did not participate in the competition, Bai Xiaoxiao still stood in the arena. For no other reason than that she wanted to tell everyone that the disciple of Immortal Master Miaoqing was no weaker than others.
