Chapter 65: Shuǐ Yuè Fēng Zhǔ

  Joyful Luo Yu ran to the 28th battlefield and happened to see Zi Ye being knocked off, her face suddenly changed, and she flashed to catch the falling Zi Ye.

  "Brother!" Luo Yu supported Zi Ye who was standing unsteadily and had red eyes: "Are you seriously injured?"

  Zi Xi's lips: "It's nothing, just need to rest for a few days and it'll be fine."

  "Don't worry, little sister Luo Yu, your brother is fine!" Wang Bin comforted, taking over Zi Yun, "Zi Yun has me to take care of her, you go prepare for your test."

  "I came to tell you that I got the promotion card, and the next round of competition won't start until the 10th, so I don't have anything on my schedule, and can take care of brother with peace of mind." Luo Yuxiu showed off her number plate.

  Wang Bin burst out laughing: "Haha, I knew it! With Luo Yu's strength, winning the second round of trials wasn't easy at all! As for me, your senior brother, I was eliminated in the first round. However, your older brother Zi Ye managed to hold on until the third round." The foundation period trials used a one-on-one knockout system, continuing until the last ten winners were selected.

  "Brother is walking too slowly due to his injury, how long will it take to return to Huoyun Peak?" Luoyu looked worried and was also distracted by Wang Bin's words.

  "Hehe, easy does it!" Wang Bin swept up Zi Yi in a princess carry and made a beeline for the transmission array.

  "Hey, put me down, I can walk myself!" Zi Yun struggled with all his might, tugging at the wound on his back, his face turned a deep purple from pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

  "Brother, don't move, as long as we get out of the main peak, Wang Shixiong can start the flight device and we'll be back to Huoyun Peak soon."

  Luoyu secretly resented that flying was prohibited above the main peak, but fortunately, there was a one-way transmission array at the edge of the square, which could transmit to the foot of the main peak. However, it would cost 10 pieces of spirit stone per person, and if not for urgent matters, no one would think of using the transmission array.

  The transmission array was just at the other end of the square, which meant they had to cross almost half of the square. Zi Xi's breathing grew heavier, it was unclear whether it was due to pain or suffocation.

  Seeing the strange gaze of others, Luo Yuling's mind moved and she took out a second-level hidden breath talisman and stuck it on Zi Xi's body.

  "Brother, don't move your spiritual energy carelessly, or the Hidden Seal will lose its effect." Luo Yu reminded him, looking at Wang Bin opening his arms to hug a ball of air, and nodded in satisfaction.

  "Hey, Luo Yu, you can't be too biased, give me a concealment symbol as well, or else I'll just be holding onto a bunch of air, what's the point? Didn't you hear people around us mocking me for being stupid?" Wang Bin complained.

  Luoyu scratched her head, looking embarrassed: "Wang Gege, I'm sorry, I only have one Hidden Aura Symbol, and it's already been used on my brother." If I also give you one, others won't be able to see it, what if you bump into my brother?

  "You - consider me magnanimous, I won't bother with you!" Wang Bin glared at Luo Yu, mobilizing his spiritual energy to his feet, speeding away rapidly while shouting "Make way, make way!"

  Luoyu smiled secretly and quickened her pace to catch up.

  A second-order concealment symbol can only block the vision and divine sense of foundation-building and energy-refining cultivators, but it naturally cannot deceive the eyes of a Golden Dan True Person on the main stage.

  "That injured man, I seem to have seen him before. Does the sect leader know who he is?" asked Chu Yue, the master of Yunfeng Peak.

  "He is Huang Zixi, the first disciple of Qin Xuan's junior brother. He was admitted to the sect a year ago when you were also present." The leader Liu Changqing recognized Huang Zixi at a glance, because Qin Xuan had always been resistant to accepting disciples, and this little cultivator unexpectedly entered Qin Xuan's eyes, which naturally left a deep impression on him.

  "Oh, it's him, I remember! When Qin Xuan accepted disciples that day, I was puzzled. This child's talent is ordinary among the inner door disciples, and there's nothing special about his gift. How did he catch the eye of the cold and elegant Qin Xuan? Is it just because this child has a handsome appearance? Tsk, tsk, Qin Mu actually has a fondness for this type! Chu Yue is Chu Yang's uncle and master. If Luo Yu heard these words, she would definitely sigh - like grandfather, like grandson!"

  "Junior Brother Zhi, don't joke around!" Liu Changqing said helplessly. "This child's innate talent is quite good. He has been cultivating in the outer sect all along, yet he was able to perfectly lay his foundation at 18 years old. This is much stronger than many disciples who entered the inner sect from a young age."

  "Cut, he's not bad, but there are better disciples than him. Why doesn't Qin Mu have a change of heart, and instead..."

  "Chu Yue, what do you mean!" scolded Huang Yueying, the master of Shuiyue Peak. "Huang Zihong is a junior member of my Qingzhou Huang family, has he offended your eyes or has my Huang family offended yours?"

  Huang Yueying, although nearly four hundred years old, still maintained the appearance of a thirty-year-old. Her face was as beautiful as a blooming lotus flower. At this moment, her slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her phoenix eyes were narrowed, but there was a different kind of charm.

  "It turns out that she's a niece of Moon Ying, tsk tsk, no wonder she's so beautiful, it seems she inherited Moon Ying's good looks!" Chu Yue changed the subject, "Your generation of the Huang family has produced quite a few talented individuals. Not to mention Huang Zi Xuan, but your disciple Huang Luo Yi is also someone who built his foundation at a young age. And then there's Huang Luo Xue, the genius among geniuses, who reached mid-foundation stage at just 19 years old."

  One sentence praised both Huang Yueying and Liu Changqing, the leader of the sect, which made Huang Yueying feel better, but as soon as Huang Luoyi was mentioned, Huang Yueying felt a surge of anger in her heart.

  Huang Luo Yi is her niece, although not as talented as Xiao Jiu Huang Luo Xue, but also a top-notch water and wood dual spirit root talent, the same as her own spirit root, but more suitable to be her personal direct disciple than Xiao Jiu. Of course, Xiao Jiu is also her niece, she worships under Qingxuan Old Ancestor, with an even brighter future ahead, possibly forming a Yuan Ying, becoming Tian Xuan Sect's new pillar of the sky.

  As for Huang Luo Yi, Huang Yue Ying and the old patriarch of the Huang clan had already discussed it, planning to cultivate her as the successor of Shuiyue Peak. As long as she could reach the late stage of Jindan before Huang Yue Ying's life limit arrived, she would be able to take over the position of peak master. At that time, the Huang family of Qingzhou would have a peak master and a Supreme Elder within the Tianxuan Sect, and they would be able to become the new core decision-makers of the sect in one leap. This was the Huang family's wish for tens of thousands of years!

  "Huang Yueying thought to herself: 'This Huang Luo Yi is a clever and obedient girl, often sending me rare spiritual fruits as gifts. Occasionally, she even gives me over 10,000-year-old spiritual grass, which I rarely see myself. It's clear that her good fortune is not small, so how can I not like such a disciple? Usually, I let her interact with the clan brothers and sisters, and she handles it well. But strangely, she doesn't get along with Xiao Jiu, even to the point of almost fighting over a water spirit snake egg. This makes me angry! Considering her young age, I only scolded her at the time and let it go... She secretly took elixirs to advance in cultivation, then went alone to the Cloud Heaven Trial Forest, nearly not returning. It's really worrying. After she came back, I saw that she was heavily injured, so I didn't have the heart to punish her. I just told her to quietly cultivate for a few years and lay a solid foundation before advancing on her own. But unexpectedly, she immediately took foundation-establishing elixirs to establish her foundation... Taking foundation-establishing elixirs will damage one's roots, making progress slower than those with perfect foundations by nearly a third. And my lifespan is only 100 years left, even if I take longevity elixirs, it'll only extend my life by 50 years. If she can't reach the late Golden Dan stage within 150 years, then the position of Water Moon Peak's master will be lost... At that time, I was so angry that I wanted to severely punish her, but she knelt before me and explained that she took the foundation-establishing elixirs because she was anxious about the Qing Huang Secret Realm opening in five years. Only those with sufficient cultivation can obtain opportunities and survive within the secret realm. She swore that she would definitely find heavenly materials and earthly treasures to repair her roots, making them perfect again and even improving her qualifications... Humph! Such heavenly materials and earthly treasures are not easily found; does she think she's a favorite of Heaven? But since things have already happened, aside from hoping she really finds such opportunities, I can only give her more spiritual materials to repair her roots. Although the effect is small, it's better than nothing... Now looking at Huang Zi Xuan, he's also not a bad junior. Previously, I was mistaken; I should discuss with the clan leader to increase his cultivation, perhaps he can bring surprises to the Huang family. This matter must be done quickly..."

  Huang Yueying's consideration was unknown to her brother and sister, who had just arrived at Huoyun Peak.
