"It really is as difficult to get close to as the rumors say!" Gu Qing's face did not show any signs of being disheartened or disheartened from having her door shut. This was because she had long heard of Yun Tian's achievements and it could be said that she had crushed a floor full of female cultivators.

There was no rush. There was still a long way to go, so when he thought of the Senior Brother Wang Chong's words, he revealed a sly smile.

Not only was she not depressed, she was even happier than usual because she had found a way to approach the clouds.

When he descended from the Qingjian Peak, he did not head straight for his dwelling. Instead, he went to the outer sect to look for He Zhi Zhang, preparing to let him prepare a few more spiritual wine for later use.

Spiritual Master Qixia, whose Fallen Immortal Mountain had come to congratulate Yun Tian's Core Formation, could not help but ask when he saw his beloved disciple stop in her tracks, "Li'er, why aren't you leaving?"

Gu Lee retracted her gaze from that familiar figure in the distance, and spoke with a heavy expression: "Master, there's nothing wrong."

Spiritual Master Qixia swept her gaze across her and said, "Then let's go."

Gu Lee slowly walked behind Spiritual Master Qixia, but she was extremely suspicious in her heart. The figure looked like a person, but this female cultivator was outstanding. That person was only a branch family member of the Gu family, how could he become an inner disciple of Huaqing Palace?

Thinking about that, she chuckled, then restrained her thoughts and followed closely behind Qixia.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. In the blink of an eye, the day of the Faction's Small Competition had arrived. Gu Qing already knew the procedure of the Small Competition. Disciples of the Foundation Period would not participate in this kind of competition. Only disciples of the Foundation Period or below would compete in three stages: early, middle and late.

Gu Qing's strength was at the fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, the middle Qi Cultivating Stage, but she had the Fire Luan Technique and the Meditation Stage techniques that He Zhizhang had bought from the auction house at a high price in the past few days. She was confident that the middle Qi Cultivating Stage should not be scared of them, but the Profound Level techniques were extremely rare and precious, so she did not plan to display them easily.

"Gu Qing, walk slowly. Wait for me!" Liu Ying, who was still dressed in men's attire, rushed over quickly and caught up to Gu Qing's footsteps.

"In today's late stage Qi Cultivating Stage competition, I'm guessing that Senior Brother Li Qian will definitely win." Liu Ying guessed as she smiled.

Li Qianqian, who was at the peak of the Qi Cultivating Stage, was indeed one of the top disciples of the Meditation Stage. The rewards for being the champion in all three stages were the same. Every month, he would get two Qi Nurturing Pills, and even used half of his Contribution Point to exchange for books and slips from the Compendium Pavilion.

"Oh yeah, what's your Qi Disciple level now?" You better not let me beat you in the competition! " She raised her chin proudly.

Gu Qing smiled slightly. She could clearly see that Liu Ying's strength had stopped at the peak of Qi Disciple Level 4.

"Then try your best during the competition." After Gu Qing finished speaking, she walked over.

Liu Ying was slightly taken aback. Then, she came back to her senses and caught up to her, asking her in surprise: "You aren't also at the Fourth Stage of Qi Disciple, are you?"

Gu Qing smiled but did not speak, and the two of them quickly arrived at the Huaqing Palace competition arena.

"Wow, it's so lively!" Liu Ying exclaimed in excitement as she pulled Gu Qing and drilled into the crowd.

Only now did Gu Qing realize that there were actually so many disciples in the Huaqing Palace, and that maybe she had been training like this all day. When she went out on a daily trip, she had only seen a few people.

As Liu Ying pushed her way to the front of the crowd, the competition had already begun. In a battle between High Ranked Cultivator s, Gu Qing could only see a vague shadow of a human figure, a fire lit technique. However, just by that, her eyes had already become fervent. If a late stage Qi Cultivator was already so powerful, then what about Foundation Period?

She was currently staring at the competition grounds with interest, when she suddenly felt a gaze looking at her. She turned and saw that she was facing Gu Lee's gaze.

Gu Lee!

Why was she here?

Then, she understood that the Fallen Immortal Mountain had also sent people to congratulate Yun Tian for forming his core. It seemed that Gu Lee had done quite well in his Fallen Immortal Mountain.

But when she thought back to how her hair was tied up and how Gu Lee should not have suspected her so quickly, or else she wouldn't have looked at him with that measuring gaze. Thinking of this, she turned her gaze away as if nothing had happened.

As he stared at the arena, his thoughts raced.

With Gu Lee here, would you like to know if Shen Chang is here? His only protection now was his face, a face they didn't know.

However, if they were to continue watching tomorrow's competition, even if he had this face, he wouldn't be able to continue watching.

Gu Lee had thought that the more she looked, the more similar she looked. The only difference was her face, but she really couldn't see anything after Gu Qing covered half of her face. Because of this doubt, more gazes fell on her. However, she didn't expect the other party to see that she wasn't looking at him in the slightest.

It seemed that he had been mistaken.

Gu Qing let herself be immersed in the High Ranked Cultivator's competition, to learn from their battle experience. But she kept thinking about Gu Lee and Shen Chang.

If the two of them were here, they would definitely recognize him tomorrow. Fortunately, he had a pendant and his cultivation speed was very fast. Most likely, seeing that he was already at the fifth stage of Qi Disciple in such a short time, he would think better of it.

From the looks of it, only by making the Huaqing Palace value him would the Gu family and Shen Chang have some misgivings.

After a night of rest, Gu Qing's cultivation had been maintained at her peak, and today was the day of the middle stage of the Qi Cultivating Stage competition.

She came to the competition early, the new disciples that came with her, as well as Yi Xu and Liu Ying, both of them were Qi Disciple level 4. Including her, only three of the new disciples had entered the Qi Cultivating Stage.

There were a total of forty to fifty people in the middle stage of the Qi Cultivation stage among the Huaqing Palace disciples. One had to go through layers of competitions to be able to pick out the top three.

Gu Qing had originally planned to show off as much as possible, but now, she had already decided that she would do her best to show off her best. Otherwise, if she did not have the support of Huaqing Palace in the future, her misunderstood Pseudo-spirit Body would still be a danger to her, so Shen Chang would definitely make a move against her again.

Gu Qing's first opponent was the tenth. Just as Liu Ying finished smoking, he moved closer and stared at her wooden slip, "Looks like we won't be able to meet in the first round."

"It's your luck that you didn't meet me," Gu Qing smiled, not caring about how Liu Ying glared at him while puffing her beard.

Number one was an old disciple with a cultivation base at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and his opponent was Yi Xu, number fifteen.

Yi Liu's talent was extraordinary, but he was only at Qi Disciple level 4. Right now, it was unknown who won and who lost.

Yi Xu walked out with a cold expression, the old disciple snorted, "Qi Disciple level 4? It's still too late to admit defeat now. Otherwise, don't blame me for bullying the newbie in a while. "

If you are willing to be a weakling, your Huaqing Palace will not stop you, it's just that the corresponding cultivation resources will be a lot lesser.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yi Xu's figure suddenly moved. He actually chose an extremely tricky angle to shoot out three fireballs consecutively.

Triple Hair... Ever since she knew that her three consecutive fireballs were not common, this was the first time Gu Qing saw someone capable of shooting three fireballs in a row like him.

As soon as Yi Xun made his move, the surrounding people immediately gasped because many of them couldn't do it.

Yi Xu's opponent could not do it, but his cultivation was one level higher than Yi Xu, hence he sneered, "Even if he could do three consecutive attacks, it would only be a fireball technique!"

As he said this, a long blade made of spirit energy suddenly appeared and struck out towards Yi Xu's location with the force of a thunderbolt.

Yi Xun's eyes narrowed and his body nimbly rolled to the ground. The spirit energy in his body exploded out and a wolf head formed from spirit energy bit at the head of the old disciple with its sharp fangs.

Ah!" The old disciple did not expect Yi Mulan to have a level up spell. When he reacted, he only managed to avoid fatal points, but his arm was bitten by a wolf. Even with the protection of spiritual energy, he was still injured by the level up spell.

Liu Ying gasped from the side of Gu Qing, "This Yi Brook is so powerful!"

Gu Qing's pupils contracted slightly. Yi Xu's wolf head transformation was much more powerful than her Fire Luan Technique, it was probably at least a upper Huang grade or a lower Profound Level grade technique.

Even with his level 5 Qi Disciple strength, the fire phoenix technique might not be able to defeat Yi Xu's Wolf Head.

It looks like Yiran will be a very powerful enemy on his way to winning the championship.

At the same time, at the location of the Xuanhua Sect, a person said with great interest: "Junior Brother, I had thought that in the young generation, you were already one of the best.

Shen Chang's eyes flashed, "Senior Brother, you're too kind. There are countless geniuses in this world, junior brother does not seek for talent to surpass others, he only hopes to go further in the future."

Yuan Lang looked at his junior brother who had extraordinary talent, and said meaningfully: "Junior brother truly has a large heart, from what I see, Junior brother has the personality and talent to be the person that walked furthest away from us."

Shen Chang humbly accepted the teachings, but his gaze continued to scan the crowd. What was going on? Didn't they say that Gu Qing was at the Huaqing Palace?

Could it be that she knew that he would be here, and she even dared to avoid the duel?

His brows unconsciously knitted, and even the thought of watching the match became a lot less clear.

It was only until Liu Ying appeared that Shen Chang's attention was once again focused on the competition.

Gu Qing was also surprised, the feeling that Liu Ying gave people was that she was always heartless and loved to play tricks on people. Although his Inherent Skill was not bad, Gu Qing had never thought that she was this strong.

Liu Ying won, and turning her head towards Gu Qing, she raised her chin, making him look extremely impressive.

Following his gaze, Shen Chang very quickly saw the Gu Qing who stood amongst the crowd with an outstanding complexion. However, he did not recognize Gu Qing at all, he only felt that he was extremely beautiful, and a faint smile appeared on his face. His beautiful features were immediately tainted with a sense of mischievousness, and he looked even more vivid than any woman he had ever seen.

The light in his eyes flickered slightly as he started to secretly pay attention to this woman. It was just that the current Shen Chang did not know that this woman was the Gu Qing he had been bitterly searching for for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, one battle had passed, and Gu Qing who had gotten her number 27 wood chip, was suddenly called into the competition.

"Gu Qing!"

When this name was called out by the opponent, the audience suddenly turned their gaze towards him. Gu Qing clearly felt it, but she straightened his spine and did not even glance at it.
