Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

233 Why Bother?

Song Qingfeng was also helpless. He contributed to the sect’s reward, and now he had to fight for it back? Why?

Song Qingfeng wanted to just go through the motions and find a way to be eliminated in the first round.

However, Master Lingxu said, “The inter-sect tournament is to fight for the spots for the disciples to enter the Secret Realm in the next 300 years! It might not be much to you, but it’s very important to the sect. If one more person goes in, it will increase the chance of obtaining the inheritance. You’ve been there, but your two Junior Sisters haven’t. If you can get into the top three, I will allow you to go to the human world once.”

Hearing his Master’s words, Song Qingfeng immediately became serious. He said, “Master, are you serious?”

!!

“Of course I’m serious,” Master Lingxu said. “As long as you can get into the top three, I’ll let you go to the human world once.”

“Okay, it’s a deal!” Song Qingfeng immediately said.

Then, Song Qingfeng left Master Lingxu’s cave.

Sitting on the futon, Master Lingxu looked at Song Qingfeng’s departing figure and began to ponder.

Why did this disciple of his want to go to the human world so much?

It was not that he forbade Song Qingfeng from going there. When he went to the human world, he could not help but interfere in the human world’s affairs. If Master Lingxu did not stop him in time, Song Qingfeng would have made a big mistake.

If Song Qingfeng really went this time, he had to find a way to restrain him.

However, the condition was that Song Qingfeng had to be in the top three.

…

Liang Yan was very surprised to see Song Qingfeng here.

Song Qingfeng stood beside Liang Yan. Liang Yan could not help but say, “Why are you here?”

“I just want to bring glory to the sect,” Song Qingfeng said lightly.

Liang Yan was speechless.

If that was the case, wouldn’t Liang Yan’s little plan be a little embarrassing?

Song Qingfeng noticed that Liang Yan was staring at him and could not help but say, “Why are you here?”

Of course, Liang Yan could not tell him the truth. He coughed and said, “Naturally, it’s to bring glory to our sect.”

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, but neither of them could figure out the other’s intention.

Liang Yan thought that Song Qingfeng had his eyes on one of the rewards, while Song Qingfeng thought that the Eldest Senior Brother had been forced to come by his master.

Only Dong Xi had come to participate in the real fight. Dong Xi and Ke Xin were standing together.

“Sister, did you also participate in the fight?” asked Dong Xi.

Ke Xin winked at Dong Xi, signaling for her to come closer.

Dong Xi immediately moved closer. Ke Xin whispered, “To be honest, I’m just here to show off. My cultivation level is not good, but I’ve been cultivating very hard for the past eight years. I don’t know about it usually, but I’ll know immediately when I get on the arena. If I can enter the inner sect, I won’t have to wait for the next inter-sect tournament to work hard.”

The two of them had entered the sect in the same batch. In the past two years, Ke Xin had slowly shed her child-like appearance and started to look like a young girl.

Ke Xin was now slightly taller than Dong Xi, and her figure had started to develop.

Dong Xi could not help but nod in agreement.

The great ideological educator had once said that opportunities were reserved for those who were prepared!

If one had only trained hard in seclusion, it would have been difficult for others to see it. Now that Ke Xin had performed well, she would naturally have more opportunities than those who only trained hard.

“Sister, what’s your current cultivation level?” asked Dong Xi.

Ke Xin was a little vexed. She sighed and said, “I’m only one step away from the fourth level of Qi Refinement. Your previous thoughts were right. If I were to temper my meridians at the same time, my cultivation speed would be much slower.”

Dong Xi thought Ke Xin was going to waver again, but Ke Xin continued, “But it’s nothing. Although it’s slow, I realized that I’m absorbing spiritual Qi faster than others. I think it’s related to the tempering of meridians. My spiritual Qi is more solid and beneficial than others of the same cultivation. As for my cultivation speed, it’s not much slower. It’s acceptable.”

Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ke Xin’s words. She said, “It’s alright. Your fire spirit root value isn’t bad. You can try to use the alchemy room’s Earth Fire to cultivate.”

Ke Xin remembered this sentence and would even draw inferences from it. For example, things like Earth Fire, Mountain Fire, and so on could all be tried…

While the two of them were chatting, almost all the disciples had arrived.

The entire square was filled with people, even more than the day of the soul gathering.

It seemed that the prizes for this inter-sect tournament were extremely attractive. Although Dong Xi had not been in the sect for long, she knew many people, but there were many strangers he had never seen before. However, these people had reserved spiritual Qi and thick auras, and almost all of them had the waist token of an inner disciple. They should be the leading figures of their respective sects.
