C108 A Storm Is Brewing

Yuan Lang turned serious and looked at him, "What's the matter?"

"I found out, the Fallen Immortal Gate was led by Spiritual Master Qixia." There was some sympathy in Shen Chang's gaze.

"What?" The expression on Yuan Lang's face was somewhat exaggerated, "Is there no one else in the Fallen Immortal Gate? You actually sent an old woman! "

Overall, Yuan Lang was more elegant than most male cultivators, especially female cultivators. But with the exception of one person, that person was Spiritual Master Qixia from Fallen Immortal Mountain.

At that time, Yuan Lang did not know Daoist Master Qixia's background and had only thought of it as a few flowery words from an ordinary female cultivator.

From then on, whenever the two of them met, they would fight to the death. Even if Yuan Lang agreed to it, Qixia would not let him go. This time, he had avoided them for a few years, but never would he have thought that the one Fallen Immortal Mountain would lead the team was Spiritual Master Qixia, and the one Xuanhua Sect would lead the team was him.

If it was another secret realm, he would not be going with Qixia. But this was Ancient Ruins, all the great sects fought to the bitter end and could only give in a limited number of spots, how could he give up such an opportunity for a Qixia?

But the thought of meeting the old woman made his heart tremble.

Everyone in the sect knows about this, so of course Shen Chang is no exception. He looked at Yuan Lang with some sympathy, "Senior Brother, I'm just here to remind you to take care of yourself, Senior Brother!"

"Stinking brat!" Yuan Lang knew that Shen Chang was laughing at him, and immediately shouted at him with a straight face. Then, he suddenly thought of something. His expression calmed down and asked Shen Chang: "Where is your fiancee?"

Shen Chang was startled, his face darkened uncontrollably for a moment, "Why are you mentioning her?"

After failing to force a marriage, he was robbed by Taoist Changhua, and he was even forced to suffer the consequences of his actions. He really wanted to capture Gu Qing and humiliate him.

Yuan Lang did not notice Shen Chang's sudden change in expression, he only thought of that beautiful little girl, whose character was extremely likeable, and how he had always been a person who cared for women. He wondered in his heart what kind of sad state that girl would be when he was about to become his companion with Yun Yan.

He had only thought that Gu Qing would be sad because of Taoist Changhua's marriage, but he had not thought in the slightest that the beauty was even his Junior Brother's fiancee.

"It's been so long since we've seen each other. Don't you miss her? "Even if you didn't want me to, I've already thought about it. I especially missed the wine she brewed, tsk tsk …"

Shen Chang did not notice the last part of Yuan Lang's words, and clenched his teeth: "I want to, I really 'want' her!"

"Right, she will also go this time right? I remember that her talent is not bad, there must be a place for her in Huaqing Palace."

Shen Chang pursed his lips. If she was also in the Huaqing Palace rankings, he would definitely see her during this trip. At that time, both old and new grudges would be settled!

When Gu Qing returned to her cave, she did not know that Yuan Lang and Shen Chang were discussing about her other identity. Instead, she relaxed and finally had time to properly cultivate for a while.

She immediately dismissed all distracting thoughts and started her closed door cultivation.

Time slowly flowed past in the outside world, and the various sects had already discussed and decided on the placement for Foundation Period disciples through the competition. The Ancient Ruins had only been opened once every few hundred years, so it was their fortuitous chance to encounter it. Since there was a limit to the opening of the Ancient Ruins, and there were many dangers inside, it was just that one's cultivation was too high and could not enter. At most, one could enter twenty Aurous Core stage cultivators and eighty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

There were a lot of sects in the Cultivation Realm, so no one was willing to give up the spot on the Golden Core Stage. Thus, in the end, the sects that were ranked in the top twenty all sent a Golden Core Stage Cultivator to lead the way, while the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators fought for the spot with their strength.

This was extremely unfair to Golden Core Stage Cultivator s of large sects like Xuanhua Sect and Huaqing Palace because they couldn't win against geniuses like Yun Tian, yet they had already reached the Core Formation stage. It was also impossible for them to return to the Foundation Period to compete for the spots.

However, Cultivation Realm was always like this, and many times it was not simply because one had the strength to win, it still depended on luck.

There was still half a year before the opening of Ancient Ruins. Thus, the various large sects discussed and decided to hold the quota selection in three months. These three months of time gave everyone the opportunity to work hard to improve.

The eighty Foundation Period spots were not small, but other than the top twenty cultivation sects, there were also other small sects. There are hundreds of sects that have come to fight for these eighty spots, even if it's Xuanhua Sect s, they still wouldn't be able to say that they would be able to take up a total of eight spots.

Therefore, the various sects were very concerned about this selection, especially the disciples of Foundation Period who had gathered their energy and went into seclusion to increase their cultivation.

Although Gu Qing did not know about what was happening outside, but because of the imminent threat, she had to quickly increase her cultivation.

Every time when it was deep into the night, she would quietly soak herself in a bottle of spiritual liquid and drink it down until not a single drop remained. After such a high intensity increase, she would finally reach the peak of the Later Period of Foundation Stage two months later, and almost took the opportunity to step into the Later Period of Foundation Stage.

If the rest of them knew that she had used less than five years to raise her cultivation from initial stage to the peak of the Middle Period of Foundation Stage, perhaps no one would believe her. This was because it had taken Yun Tian nearly ten years to reach this stage.

On this day, Gu Qing was meditating, when she suddenly heard life outside.

Actually, the sound was not too loud, it was just that compared to how quiet it was normally, it was very loud and complicated.

She opened her eyes and was about to release her divine sense to observe when she heard a voice from outside the door, "Junior Sister Zi Jin, are you there?"

Wang Lin? What was he doing in his own cave?

With this thought, Gu Qing opened her mouth: "Senior Brother Wang Lin, I'm inside, what are you looking for me for?"

"Junior Sister Zi Jin, you can really hold on!" Wang Lin said as he strode into Gu Qing's cave.

Gu Qing also slipped down from the stone bed and stood up, then she turned to the tall Wang Lin and asked: "What does Senior Brother mean by this?"

"You really don't know?" Wang Lin looked surprised, as he did not expect Gu Qing to not know anything.

"Senior Brother, speak frankly. Zi Jin indeed does not know what happened." Gu Qing's face was calm, obviously not faking it at all.

Wang Lin sighed, shook his head, and said: "Junior sister is really focused in cultivation, no wonder she has reached the peak of Middle Period of Foundation Stage at such a young age."

As soon as he entered, he discovered that the other party's strength had increased, and if not for the fact that this person was a Junior Sister Zi Jin who had saved his life, he would definitely have been the first to take precautions.

"It's like this," He didn't continue to keep them in suspense and directly said: "The Ancient Ruins selection quota will begin in a month's time. The sect opened up the Treasure Pavilion and Book Collection Hall, and let the Foundation Period disciples enter and choose as they please."

"There's such a good thing!" Gu Qing's eyes lit up. She did not have any thoughts on Ancient Ruins s, but rather, she was very interested in Treasure Pavilion and Book Collection Hall. After all, she was now a disciple of Later Period of Foundation Stage, and the treasures and techniques she possessed were too few.

Although the Withered Handprint was powerful, its lethality was too great, and it consumed too much energy, hence he did not dare to use it easily. Although the Misty Rain Sword was powerful, if she used just one move, her opponent would see through her moves sooner or later.

That was good news!

Gu Qing's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she asked Wang Lin: "Senior Brother Wang Lin, when will the Treasure Pavilion and the Book Collection Vault open?"

"Today is the day that I didn't see Junior Sister and guessed that Junior Sister probably didn't know of this news, so I came to inform you." Wang Lin smiled at her. He was a rogue cultivator previously, so he was wary of the others, but Gu Qing had saved his life before, and unknowingly, he trusted her.

Gu Qing also laughed, "Then what are we waiting for, let's quickly go!"

The Treasure Pavilion and the Compendium Pavilion were on different peaks. Wang Lin stood in the middle of the fork in the road and turned to look at Gu Qing, "Junior Sister, where should we go first?"

"Go wherever you're close." Gu Qing replied without pause, because she could guess that both sides had quite a few people on their side.

"Alright!" Wang Lin was very familiar with Xuanhua Sect, after turning his head, he walked towards the right path.

Halfway up the mountain, they saw that the area outside the "Book Collection Hall" was already packed with people. It could be seen that there were quite a few disciples participating in Xuanhua Sect.

Gu Qing turned and counted. There were at least two hundred people here, and the Treasure Pavilion, there were at least five hundred people on both sides. As expected of a great cultivation sect, there were actually so many disciples from Foundation Period.

But why were there so many people gathered here?

She immediately thought of when Wang Lin seemed to have mentioned some Ancient Ruins. Is it the Ancient Ruins that Martial Uncle Yuntian wants to go to?

Just as she thought of Yun Tian and naturally called out the two words "Martial Uncle" in her heart, Gu Qing was startled for a moment, then she realized that she had unconsciously calmed down.

"Are so many people going to the Ancient Ruins?" Gu Qing frowned. When she was using the Huaqing Palace, she had a vague impression that it was not that easy to enter.

Wang Lin turned around and looked at her with wide eyes, "You really dare to say that there aren't that many spots in the entire Cultivation Realm. No matter how capable you are, it's impossible to get all of your Xuanhua Sect together."

"Then what are they doing here?" Gu Qing's expression was calm as she slowly asked.

"Do you think Ancient Ruins is so easy to go to? There are only eighty spots on the entire Cultivation Realm, so it is fortunate that we have five spots. " said as he lowered his voice, "Actually, we still have a lot of advantages over them. Although they are called Foundation Period disciples, in reality, they are all fighting for the mid to late stages of Foundation Establishment, so if you keep working hard, you might break through to the Later Period of Foundation Stage in a month's time."

After Gu Qing explained everything to him, she nodded lightly, "What are the benefits of going to the Ancient Ruins?"

She saw that the nearby cultivators were all discussing this matter, and all of their faces were full of excitement. If it wasn't for the benefits, these people definitely wouldn't have lost their composure to such a degree.

"Of course there are benefits. The medicinal pills, magic treasures, spiritual herbs, refining materials, any one of them is a treasure. Because the last time the Ancient Ruins was opened was a few hundred years ago. " Saying that, Wang Lin sighed: I hope that this time I have the chance to go in and see for myself.
