Chapter 92 Sect Competition
"ah--"
That day, everyone present heard the screams of the future senior brother of the Chongguang Sect, who was to be as gentlemanly as jade, upright and decent as a man.
…
Now when I touch my hair which has just grown out about an inch, I still recall the miserable situation of the past few days.
No one told me that the tribulation would burn my hair off—
Cleansing the bones and marrow, making you look brand new, isn't that what it means to be brand new?
If it weren't for the systematic fast hair growth liquid, I would still be bald. After the Nascent Soul stage, the body of a cultivator will become extremely stable and basically there will not be any major changes. It would take me a hundred years to grow my hair back to its original length by relying on natural growth.
I'd rather die.
[After all, more than one colleague has encountered a similar situation... Everyone has the trouble of baldness.]
Thank you, I feel the pressure of a large company.
"Aluan, how is your realm consolidation going?"
Ever since I reached Nascent Soul stage, Liu Hong seemed to have been stimulated and started to practice arduously. He was rarely seen. I heard that he went to exchange ideas with the other disciples in the sect. Ling Ye would come to check on me almost every day because after I communicated with the Heavenly Dao, he was always worried that my realm was too low and I wouldn't be able to bear the information in the Heavenly Dao.
...Once again, I would like to thank Party A for giving me the green channel. I am fine.
"It's almost done. The sect competition should be enough to deal with it."
I thought about it. The sect competition will be held in three months. After I was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, the entire Chongguang Sect will know about it. After all, the calamity cloud that day was quite powerful.
Moreover, I have the labels of Ling Ye Xianjun's first disciple and eldest senior brother - I guess many people regard me as a thorn in their eyes.
It's normal for a big sect to have competition, but now I have someone who is giving me cheats.
I can!
[So, Xiaoyu, do you still have your hair growth serum? ]
...That's not your hair at all, right?!
Haven't we tried this before? Hair growth liquid won't grow back your tentacles—but how can you say that if tentacles are chopped off, they can't grow back?
[…Maybe it's because my tentacles belong to the body of a "god," and this body is low on energy. Repairing my bald butt has already used up all my energy. Now I can't turn into a human, and covering it up with clothes won't help.]
[I have never been so ugly in my life!]
...Ah, then your prototype, a ball of black smoke tentacles, doesn't seem to be that good-looking.
Thinking about it this way, it’s acceptable that it’s just a bird without tail feathers.
[Host, this isn't consolation at all, is it?! Furthermore, the local specialties are closely related to your cultivation. As you become stronger, he will have more authority in this world, so...]
[Xiaoyu, I will supervise you and make sure you practice well from today.]
Don't say such horrible words suddenly—
System, you did this on purpose, right?!
This is a despicable way of using my guilt to make me roll up my sleeves, you insidious capitalists.
Ling Ye took out a purple crystal and placed it in his hand. "This is a fragment of the ancient Heaven-Repairing Stone. You gave the sword I gave you to Ah Hong before. You also have a more powerful magical weapon. This Heaven-Repairing Stone can improve your magical weapon."
"You can now communicate with heaven and earth at will just like me. The Sky-Repairing Stone is the energy closest to the way of heaven, and it's just right for you." As he spoke, he took out the lamp that blocked the thunder for me. Only then did I get a closer look at the lamp.
The shape is somewhat like a celestial sphere, but it is indeed a lamp. The whole lamp is about half a meter high and feels like a staff when held in the hand. The whole lamp is made of sky-repairing stone. The spherical armillary sphere at the top is the position of the wick, and a cluster of white flames is burning inside.
"Give me your flute."
I handed him the white jade flute, and he made a hand gesture, and the white jade flute and the Sky-Bulding Stone were suspended in the air at the same time. Then the white flame in the lamp in his hand suddenly grew bigger, and I felt the temperature around me dropped a lot.
...It's a bit like the Yin Fire in the previous world. Although it is fire, it has no temperature at all.
He touched my brow with his fingertips and took a drop of blood from my brow. The blood drop also mixed into the white flame, and the three things gradually condensed together in the white flame.
Then Ling Ye added several purple crystals into it. Later on, I felt that the size of the Bu Tian Stone was already bigger than my white jade flute.
After waiting for about half a day, it finally merged completely together. At first glance, my white jade flute didn't change much, but if you look closely, you can see bursts of purple light and airflow on it.
It feels like I'm just one step away from the legendary immortal magic weapon.
——There’s something about this man, Immortal Lord Ling Ye.
Then he returned the white jade flute to me calmly, "It's a good magical instrument. What's its name?"
I:……
This question stumped me.
When I first found it out of the Liuming Sect's warehouse, I didn't even bother to check what it was called.
"If you want it to be your life-blood weapon, you should give it a name. All things have spirits, and you will be able to use it more easily with a name." Maybe my expression was too obvious, and Ling Ye understood it immediately.
"My lamp is called 'Dan Shuang'." He showed me his lamp again.
It's a really beautiful lamp.
If Ling Ye hadn't looked so calm and spotless, it would really look like a magical girl's wand.
A name is an anchor for a thing’s existence in the world—just like my name in every world.
Because I can't remember my original name, every name I have since been given has meaning to me.
That is proof of my existence.
I looked at the white jade flute in my hand again.
So weapons also need this kind of proof, right?
"Then let's call it 'Qianliu'," I thought for a moment, "It's a magical instrument that controls all things, and my name has the character 'liu' in it, which also refers to water."
Ling Ye nodded, accepting the name.
"That's good. Your realm is stable, and you have a magical weapon. From now on, it's up to you." Ling Ye put away the lamp and turned around. "I'm going to retreat for a while. Your breakthrough a few days ago also gave me some new insights."
A storage bag flew into my hand, containing a large number of spirit stones and a bracelet.
"I don't know when I'll be released. This is pocket money for you and Hong."
"You are already in the Nascent Soul stage, and you can travel at any time. If there is any danger, just crush the beads on the bracelet. My incarnation is inside, and it will keep you safe."
After saying that, he disappeared in front of me without waiting for my answer.
The cabin belonging to Ling Ye was also locked tightly.
I stood there in a daze, holding the storage bag.
...You have given me so much, Master!
The family became rich overnight!
——————————
Three months later, the sect competition.
My hair is growing at a gratifying rate - thanks to the hair growth potion, it has grown to shoulder level and can barely be tied into a bun. It's a cause for celebration.
Ling Ye still hadn't come out of seclusion, but as a legendary immortal king who was rarely seen, everyone thought it was normal.
Liu Hong still hadn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage before the competition, and he followed me with a stern face.
Sects are generally divided into two types: inner sect and outer sect.
At the beginning, it is the outer sect disciples' competition. The top ten outer sect disciples can join the inner sect disciples' competition. If they are lucky enough to win a good ranking in the sect competition, or are noticed by the peak master of that peak, they can enter the inner sect.
This is also a good opportunity for outer disciples.
In addition to receiving fixed rewards such as elixirs, talismans, and spirit stones, the top three in the sect competition can also go to the Chongguang Sect's treasure pavilion to pick out any item. The first place winner can choose from all areas, the second place winner is limited to the first three levels, and the third place winner can only choose from the first level.
And the "Soul-shaping Pill" that I came to Chongguang Sect to find might be in there.
——I must take this first place!
I'm full of confidence now since our last sparring session.
…
"Shuangyue Peak, Senior Brother Liuluan, Senior Brother Liuhong, please come this way." The disciples who were accompanying us in the sect led the way. Most of them were outer disciples who had just established their foundation or were refining their Qi. Their cultivation was too low to allow them to travel outside, so they could only do odd jobs in the sect to earn some spirit stones for cultivation.
The inner sect competition will begin after the outer sect competition is over, so there will be seats for spectators. There are not many inner sect disciples, and most of them have fixed seats. However, now that it is a competition for outer sect disciples, most of them will not come to watch the game.
Then I realized that the seats my brother and I were sitting in were too close to the front, facing the competition venue, and in front of us were the seats of the various peak masters and elders.
Very good, once again a disciple depends on his master.
As expected, instead of working hard on your own, it is better to encourage your master. With a strong master, your status will naturally rise.
"Where's Master?"
Seeing us coming, Ye Yingying, who was not far away from us, waved and came over to look at us.
"Master is in seclusion."
"Eh—doesn't that mean we won't be able to see the heroic figure of our eldest brother?"
Ye Yingying looked shocked.
No, what heroic qualities do I possess?! Is this kid's filter for me a bit too strong?
[…As far as pretense is concerned, host, you are truly good at bluffing. I hope you can be more self-aware.]
"So you are the eldest senior brother," a young man sat down next to her. "Yingying now talks about the eldest senior brother every three sentences during training. We brothers and sisters are almost getting calluses from listening to him so much."
Ye Yingying glared at him angrily, "Second Brother, what are you talking about——"
"Oh my, you're still impatient." The young man smiled and tapped her forehead.
He turned to look at me and bowed, "I've long heard of the great reputation of Senior Brother Liu Luan. My name is Wen Yang, and I'm Yingying's senior brother. I'm the second in rank at Qi Yuan Peak."
Qiyuan Peak is the peak where the headmaster Qi Xing Zhenren is located.
So this Wen Yang is the second disciple of the master.
"Junior Brother Wen, you are so kind." I returned the compliment. "It's just that I knew Junior Sister Ye earlier, when I first joined the sect."
Wen Yang looked at Liu Hong who was beside me and asked, "Brother Liu Hong, why aren't you talking?"
"Are you pretending not to know me, Junior Brother? That would make me very sad. After all, we are friends who have risked our lives for each other."
Um?
Do they know each other?
I looked at Liu Hong next to me, and his expression froze for a moment.
“…”
I continued to look at him as he was defeated. "...Yes, I know him. We've fought before... and sparred."
Wen Yang tutted his words and said, "Senior Brother Liu, you almost crippled me back then—" He even started wiping away tears as he spoke, "Ah, Senior Brother, you don't know what the scene was like back then…"
"Senior Brother Liu rushed up to our Qiyuan Peak with a sword in hand. Several of my fellow disciples failed to stop him. He heard that our senior sister and I were practicing swordsmanship, so he insisted on coming to spar with us."
"Afterwards, he threatened us not to tell anyone. Tsk tsk tsk, Big Brother, you have to take charge of this for us."
no,
Wait a moment,
How did it suddenly go from a friendly greeting to a tearful rant?!
Isn't this development a bit too strange?
"Second Brother, why do I remember it was Ah Hong who went up the mountain and was fooled around by the eldest sister and you, and then he beat you up... Um——"
Wen Yang covered Ye Yingying's mouth.
But I've almost finished listening to what I should listen to.
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Liu Hong looked at me urgently, "Brother, will you believe me?"
Seeing the child's alert face, I touched his head.
"...Junior Brother Wen should stop bullying Ah Hong too much," and then looked at Liu Hong, "You should also stop fighting everywhere."
I feel so tired.
Am I not here for the sect competition?
How come the mediation meeting started? And it's obvious that one of the people being mediated is a fun-loving person, and the other is a fool.
——Is it poisonous?!
"We're all fellow disciples! But it really makes me sad that Senior Brother Liu pretends not to know me~~~"
I closed my eyes in pain.
"Don't tease him anymore, I really can't control myself in a while."
…
“Bang—”
As a bell rang, a semicircular magic circle rose in front of them, covering the entire competition venue. This was also to prevent the contestants from hurting the disciples watching the game.
Because there are so many outer disciples, there are ten similar venues, and ten games can start at the same time.
"The sect competition begins."
