Chapter 64: Successful Defense

  "Master!" Zi Ye's eyes turned red.

  Qin Xuan took out a cloud-patterned jade pendant, "This is something I unintentionally refined, it can block others' divine sense from viewing, as long as the divine sense cultivation is lower than mine, it can be blocked. You refine it into your body, when your cultivation reaches Golden Elixir, whether you use this thing or not doesn't matter."

  "I can... Can I give it to someone else?" Zi Ye held the jade pendant, hesitating.

  "Someone on your mind?" Qin Xuan's expression turned serious

  "No!" Zi Xi hastily shook his head, "It's sister..., little sister"

  As soon as he spoke, he regretted it. Wasn't this revealing that his sister's physique had also changed? Although he trusted his master, there were many ways in the Cultivation World to pry into others' secrets. The more people who knew, the more danger there was. Even he himself had carefully considered before choosing Qin Xuan as his master. Of course, he really admired Qin Xuan too.

  "Sister?" It seems this disciple's whole family is not ordinary.

  "Obviously mistaken, 'is a close younger sister, one with the same mother'."

  Zhao Yucheng's mouth opened and closed as he referred to his sister, real sister, and dear sister, making him react like a nervous wreck at this moment.

  Qin Xuan couldn't help but smile, yet he didn't explain, "You refine this jade pendant, and I'll refine another one to give to her later."

  "However, if she establishes a foundation before the age of 30, this jade pendant will be useless."

  Excellent outer sect disciples will be summoned by the sect leader and watched by several Golden Dan true men. If they are lucky, they will become one of their personal disciples. If not, they will at least become a registered disciple, which is still better than an ordinary inner sect disciple.

  After Zi Xuan built the foundation, he immediately sought to see Qin Xuan. This was in order to avoid this process. Fortunately, Qin Xuan really accepted him. If Luo Yu had built the foundation and faced the sect leader and Jin Dan Zhen Ren, unless she wanted to be expelled from the sect, she would have to obediently hand over the jade pendant for examination of her physique.

  Your application form has already stated your spiritual root qualifications, those Golden Elixir True Men can directly flip through it, why bother to investigate again? It's because in the Cultivation World, the relationship between master and disciple is a kind of inheritance that is no weaker than blood ties. When Golden Elixir True Men take on disciples, they naturally want to be more cautious. In the Cultivation World, things that can improve spiritual root qualifications are extremely rare, but things that can change or destroy spiritual roots, lowering qualifications, are not uncommon, so they must check again before feeling at ease.

  "Master——" Zi Ye opened his mouth, looking anxious, "If it were my sister Zhu Ji who had built the foundation, would she also be able to become your disciple?"

  "Hmm?" Qin Xuan furrowed his brow, this disciple's demands were really numerous. Had he forgotten that he was still just a nominal disciple? It seemed like he needed to be tested further.

  "Master——" Zi Ye hastily said, "My younger sister's talent is better than mine, and she's a natural at crafting talismans——"

  "Could she refine equipment?" Qin Xuan asked.

  "No way—" Zi Ye shook his head.

  "Can you use magic?"

  "Not yet, but..."

  "No need to say more, I'm good at refining equipment and formations. Since she doesn't have talent in these areas, how can I teach her?" Taking one of you is already a lot of trouble, taking another would be even more annoying.

  "When you become a formal disciple, I'll just take care of her." Ziyu still wanted to struggle for it.

  "You're just a nominal disciple now!" Qin Xuan looked at Zi Yun's face, which was red with shame, and suddenly felt better. "Let's talk about it after she builds her foundation. Now I need to report your matter to the sect leader."

  Of course, the above details were unknown to Luo Yu. Zi Ye only told her that Master Qin Xuan concealed his change in aptitude, and within the sect, apart from the three of them, no one else knew about his change in aptitude. Moreover, he instructed her to learn the formation technique well, so she would have a chance to be taken as a direct disciple by the high-and-mighty Master Qin Xuan.

  Actually, to be honest, Luo Yu really wants to become a disciple of Qin Xuan. After all, it's not easy to find a master with good character and who is trustworthy. Although in the original text, Qin Xuan was just a minor role, but having someone like him as a master would also keep her away from worldly troubles.

  However, Luo Yu has been either practicing her body or going hunting for spiritual materials to practice her body these past two years, and really can't spare the time to learn about formations, so she'll have to wait until after the trial in Qing Huang Secret Realm is over.

  "One minute has passed, challenger please come on stage."

  Judge Jin's voice instantly drowned out the murmurs of the crowd below, and everyone looked at each other in dismay, but not a single person stepped onto the stage.

  "If no one comes on stage to challenge within the two time periods, it will be determined that the defender has won five rounds in a row and will advance directly to the next round of competition." Judge Jin reiterated the rules for defending the title, thinking to himself that this girl might have to wait in vain for two hours.

  There were also new people coming over, seeing the host who was practicing Qi eleven layers on stage, they felt a bit eager to try, but when they saw the people around them looking at him with a schadenfreude gaze, they felt something was wrong. They quickly grabbed someone nearby to ask about the previous battle situation, and then... there was no then, the people below the stage became fewer and fewer.

  "Lu Xiafeng's outer door disciple, Li Zizi, has seen Huang Shijie"

  Luoyu opened her eyes and saw a young woman jumping onto the stage. She was wearing a yellow shirt and green skirt, with a slender figure and delicate features. Her bright eyes seemed to be telling secrets, what a classic little sister image! Luoyu sighed, but this Li girl only had 10 layers of Qi, how could she come on stage to challenge her? Did she have some kind of ultimate move?

  "Huang Shijie, no need to be nervous," Li Zizhou cupped her hands in greeting. "I know my skills are lowly, I just want to get on stage and gain more fighting experience, so I hope you can spare me some mercy and not make me lose too badly." She also gave Luo Yuxia a bow.

  Luo Yu had a hair-raising feeling and quickly retreated to one side, only to hear an explosion. The place where she originally stood appeared as a large pit, but it was Li Ziyue who threw out and detonated a medium-grade artifact in the moment she bowed.

  Lizhi didn't mind the law enforcement, her slender hand lifted, revealing a silver bell. She lightly moved her red lips, and her fingers kept shaking the bell, wave after wave of sound waves rushed towards Luoyu, and the onlookers below who were affected by the waves began to feel dizzy.

  "This is a spiritual artifact!" A disciple who knew his goods shouted and retreated 10 meters in an instant, only then did he feel better.

  Judge Jin waved his long sleeve, and a spiritual energy enveloped the onlookers below the platform.

  Luoyu smiled and walked towards Lizizi with a gentle pace.

  Her pupils constricted, her face flushed, and sweat streaked down her cheeks, clearly exhausting her mental energy. Using the spirit instrument in rapid succession required a high demand on one's mental state, and it couldn't be sustained for long. Yet, she accelerated the bell's shaking even more. Even with only 10 layers of Qi refinement, aided by this bell, she could defeat a cultivator who had achieved the Great Circle of Qi Refinement. She didn't believe that fat woman could continue to put on such a pretentious show! But why did that fat woman's speed slow down just a bit, yet still approach her?

  It's only natural that her spiritual strength and spiritual energy are comparable to those of a newly established foundation cultivator, but Luo Yu would never be kind enough to tell Li Zizai.

  Luoyu Su raised her hand, a green vine stretched out from her fingertips, entwining the opponent at the end of the strong crossbow, and with a flick, threw him off the battlefield.

  This woman is quite wealthy, looks like she has a good background. Otherwise, Luo Yu wouldn't have simply thrown her off the stage, and also didn't do that "butt in the air, flat sand falling wild goose" move, which was quite giving her face.

  Li Zi took two steps back, then steadied herself and curtsied elegantly: "Thank you so much for sparing my life, sister! I've always admired you, may I come visit you often to play?" Her voice was sweet and melodious, combined with her pale complexion and shining eyes, it would be hard for anyone, even a woman, to refuse.

  Luo Yu was taken aback, this girl's face is too thick! Regardless of true admiration or false admiration, all are rejected!

  "Heh heh, little sister, I'm a thick-skinned person who hangs out with rough people, afraid it's not good for me to interact with you."

  "Master Uncle Jin, can we announce the result now?"

  Judge Jin announced with a smile, "Number 33 war platform, Li Zixi loses, Huang Luoyu wins!"

  "You..." Lei Zizi's face turned pale with anger, but she didn't say anything else. She pushed away the male cultivators who had gathered around to curry favor and left the scene.

  She has a good mind, is good at using her own advantages, and also knows how to tolerate. Although she's still a bit immature, she's already close to perfection. Luo Yu was certain that this girl would definitely do well in the cultivation world. But becoming friends with this girl? Luo Yu declined politely!

  After this battle, no one else came on stage. On the other nine external stages, there were also people waiting in vain, but most of them were still fighting fiercely.

  Two hours later, Luo Yu obtained a new number plate - Third Round-5th.
