Chapter 24 A Fight

Qiao’er said, “I don’t want you to go.”

Her big, watery eyes, coupled with her soft voice, were mind-blowing.

If Zhou Yun did not have a strong will, he would have agreed to Qiao’er’s request.

Qiao’er said, “It’s not easy for me to see you, Brother Zhou Yun.”

Her soft voice was heard again. Zhou Yun pinched the space between his brows, feeling worried.

Qiao’er was only 15 years old now. Would he be able to hold on for another few years?

Zhou Yun said, “It’s fine, Qiao’er. My current cultivation place isn’t far from here. You can come over whenever you want, and I can come to you any time.”

As Zhou Yun spoke, he reached out to stroke her head.

After an hour of persuasion, Zhou Yun finally managed to convince Qiao’er.

After Zhou Yun returned to his cave, he unconsciously started thinking about the inner sect trial.

The inner sect trial was said to be a trial for inner sect disciples. But in fact, only disciples in the foundation establishment stage could pass it. The disciples in the Qi cultivation stage could also participate mainly because of the rules set by the sect leader of Spirit Valley.

It was said that there were not only nine layers of Qi cultivation. There was actually a tenth layer, the great perfection.

However, for some unknown reason, the current disciples would directly enter the foundation establishment stage after breaking through to the ninth layer of Qi cultivation.

The sect leader Ling Qingyun had made this rule in search of this legendary cultivation level.

Every three years, Spirit Valley would choose the most outstanding cultivator at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation as the seed to break through to the legendary cultivation level.

Zhou Yun thought, “I’m at the eighth layer of Qi cultivation now. Even if I participate in the inner sect trial, there’s no possibility of me passing it.”

He furrowed his brows, clearly not too optimistic about his strength.

If ordinary disciples wanted to participate in the inner sect trial, they had to be at least at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation and have the strength to do so.

Originally, Zhou Yun was not qualified to participate. However, because he had become a glory disciple, he was able to make an exception and participate.

However, a chance to participate was the first step. In the trial, one’s strength was the most important. Status or other things were useless.

Without the corresponding strength, even if one participated, it would be useless.

In another cave, Qin Xiu was sitting on a jade stone with his eyes closed.

After a while, he opened his eyes and panted heavily.

He shouted, “Zhou Yun!”

Qin Xiu gritted his teeth, the anger on his face unable to dissipate.

He had not been able to enter the state of cultivation for a long time. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would think of Zhou Yun’s glorious moments.

At the Alchemy Pavilion, Zhou Yun shocked everyone when he took out a perfect-grade

pill.

In alchemy room No. 1, Zhou Yun once again refined a perfect-grade Qi Refining Pill, stunning everyone and even attracting the attention of many junior sisters.

And this made Junior Sister Qiao’er so excited that she hugged Zhou Yun.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiu gritted his teeth even more. Then, he heard a “crack”, and his teeth were directly broken.

A few days ago, the sect leader held a sect meeting and invited all the elders to take a seat. Even his master had to attend the meeting.

Moreover, the Grand Elder even personally went up the stage to host the announcement.

This grand sect meeting was just to announce that Zhou Yun had been promoted to a glory disciple.

The sect leader even gave Zhou Yun special permission to choose a magic item.

The things that had happened these days were as unbelievable as a dream.

Qin Xiu couldn’t figure out how Zhou Yun, who originally had an extremely poor innate ability, suddenly became so powerful.

Zhou Yun suddenly broke through the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

And he also got the talent to refine pills.

He was not satisfied after refining the Qi Refining Pill, and he still wanted to refine the Vitality Pill.

The key was that he had even successfully refined a perfect-grade Vitality Pill.

How could this happen?

Qin Xiu’s worldview for the first half of his life collapsed because of what Zhou Yun had done.

caus

Qin Xiu thought, “Zhou Yun, I’ve already given up. Why do you still want to provoke

me?”

It was enough that all women liked Zhou Yun, but why did he even want to fight for a place in the inner sect trial?

Qin Xiu really couldn’t figure out why Zhou Yun could participate in the inner sect trial with his strength at the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

If not for his status as a glory disciple, who would even spare him a glance?

Qin Xiu really couldn’t figure it out and couldn’t take it anymore. In the end, he stood up helplessly and walked in the direction of his master’s cave.

He asked, “Master, I really don’t understand. Why would Zhou Yun, who is only at the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, want to participate in the inner sect trial?”

When Qin Xiu arrived at his master’s cave, there was no one in the cave, but he still knelt on the ground. After a long time, an old voice came from the depths of the cave.

“What are you going to do if you can’t figure it out?”

Qin Xiu raised his head. “I want to fight him!”

“If you want to go, then go! Cultivators should do as they think! Just do whatever you want to do!”

“I understand, Master!” Qin Xiu stood up and bowed again. Then, he walked out of the cave. At this time, the anger on his face had disappeared and turned into an open-minded smile.

After Qin Xiu walked out of the cave, an old voice sighed softly in the depths of the cave.

He understood his disciple the best. If Qin Xiu did not resolve the anger in his heart, he would probably not be able to make any progress in his life.

Therefore, he supported Qin Xiu’s behavior. As he said just now, cultivators should do as they think and do what they wanted to do. Otherwise, if there were regrets in their hearts, it would affect them in the future.

Furthermore, although Zhou Yun was very talented in making pills, this did not equate to cultivation.

In any case, the two of them were already enemies, so it was better to let Qin Xiu beat up Zhou Yun to dispel the anger in his heart. It could also be considered as fighting for him.

On the other side, after Qin Xiu came out of the cave, he rushed to Zhou Yun’s previous cultivation place without stopping.

However, when he arrived, he realized that no one was there.

In the end, after asking around, he found out from others that Zhou Yun no longer lived in his original place.

Because the sect leader valued Zhou Yun’s talent, he specially rewarded Zhou Yun with a cave for his cultivation.

After hearing this news, Qin Xiu’s jealousy suddenly rose.

Zhou Yun was just a loser at the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

He only knew a little about alchemy.

Why could he gain so many benefits?

He was promoted to a glory disciple, favored by the senior and junior sisters, rewarded with a magic item, and now was even rewarded with a cave for cultivation by the sect leader.

Why?

In Qin Xiu’s opinion, this world still cared about strength anyway. No matter how important alchemy was, in the end, it was still to serve the cultivators.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiu clenched his fists and walked toward Zhou Yun’s cave.

Ten minutes later, Qin Xiu arrived at the entrance of Zhou Yun’s cave. He looked at the cave in front of him and was slightly surprised.

Just at the entrance of the cave, he could already feel a very rich and abundant spiritual Qi.

Just the spiritual Qi at the entrance of the cave was even more abundant than the cave he used for cultivation.

Suppressing his shock, Qin Xiu mobilized the spiritual Qi in his body.

He shouted at the cave, “Zhou Yun, come out! I want to fight you!”
